Chapter 728 Interrogation
Outside Chang'an City.
Wuwei Camp.
The swearing-in ceremony was over, Li Shimin led Qianniuwei to head straight to Luoyang, and went north by boat as planned.
The armies from all walks of life also set off one after another, and each rushed to the two prefectures of Youji according to the established plan.
And at this moment, in a certain big camp, the leader was sipping tea leisurely with squinted eyes, looking at the old housekeeper kneeling on the left from time to time.
"Li Chengqian is lame?"
After a while, the leader took a sip of the tea, raised his head and asked casually.
He just learned that Li Chengqian accidentally fell off the horse, which really made him very unhappy.
Li Chengqian was an extremely important part of his plan, if he lost Li Chengqian's restraint, he would have no choice but to play his trump card.
It's just that Li Shimin's father and son have broken the situation one after another recently, which has caused great losses to the power he has operated for many years.
If he uses his hole card again this time, there will be no one in his hand to use in the future.
"Yes, sir."
The old butler looked up at the leader, and said timidly with a smile: "According to the report from the spies.
Last night, King Yue witnessed His Majesty's murder with his own eyes, and overjoyed, he wanted to return to Beijing immediately to snatch the crown prince.
It's just that His Royal Highness is not good at riding and is too complacent, so he startled the horses under the excitement just now. "
"Hehe~
Li Chengqian is so impatient, he also wants to fight against the little prince?
Back then when he was shot by the little prince in the right leg and his heart changed drastically, the old man thought he could be made.
Now it seems that he is just a dou who cannot be supported. "
The leader sneered, shook his head and sighed.
The old housekeeper smiled approvingly, clasped his fists and replied: "What the master said is very true.
It is said that the king of Yue returned to Beijing last night with pain, and immediately sent Li Yifu to visit the court ministers, and his desire to compete for the reserve position was clearly revealed.
Even though he used to tolerate and deceive the world in every possible way in the past, after this incident, all previous efforts have been wasted. "
"Humph!
madness!
The little prince is full of tricks, even the old man dare not speak lightly of victory, how could he have the confidence to openly fight against him. "
The leader couldn't help scolding angrily, looked at the old housekeeper and frowned and said: "Since Li Chengqian is useless, let's let this fire burn a bit more.
You immediately go back to the city and tell the fourth brother that it's time for the chess pieces around him to move.
Presumably, Li Jing would be very happy to reap Li Chengqian's influence with the help of the old man.
The old man is not in the capital during this time, so let Li Chengqian restrain the little prince.
But you have to remember, make a big noise, and don't let this matter pass easily.
Otherwise, once the little prince is freed, you will definitely not be his opponent. "
"what?
This……"
The old housekeeper was startled when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said bitterly: "My lord, it's not that this old slave excused himself.
It's just that you arranged for a sneak attack on the Su Mansion last night, and someone accidentally missed and was captured.
With the various means of the little prince's master, he must be able to pry that person's mouth open. "
"Asshole!!!
Why didn't you report such an important matter earlier! "
The leader was furious when he heard the words, and his indifferent face turned sharply down in an instant.
All his arrangements during this period were to distract Li Jing's energy, and also to restrain Li Jing's hands and feet.
After all, as a general under His Majesty Li Er, he already knew Li Shimin's behavior well.
Finding a suitable way to deal with it is naturally a matter of hand.
But Li Jing was different.
He grew up among the people, and his behavior style is different from that of the aristocratic family.
And there is a mysterious teacher behind him, and what he has learned is completely different from that of Tang people.
The two had fought openly and secretly more than ten times in the past, but he only caused Li Jing a big loss in the matter of Jingyang.
The rest of the things were either that Li Jing won a complete victory, or he was overthrown by Li Jing under such a good situation.
It seems that he doesn't care about his reputation and face, and he will do whatever it takes to win. This is the first time he has encountered it in decades.
That's why he tried every means to make things difficult for Li Jing, and even borrowed Ma Sanbao's order, hoping to bring trouble to Li Jing.
It's a pity that His Majesty Li Er is not a fool, even though he was already suspicious, he still did not change his decision to let Li Jing supervise the country.
He worked hard last night to calculate, but in the end it seemed that he did not achieve the desired effect.
In this way, he could only use the last hole card in his hand.
It's just that there is one thing he still can't figure out, how could Li Jing act so shamelessly.
It should be known that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the more powerful the children of the family, the more they care about their reputation when doing things outside.
But Li Jing and other outstanding disciples from the hermit sect, why did they do the opposite?
If Li Jing was here, he would definitely tell him.
Since the rise of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism hundreds of years later, the literati in the Central Plains have never lost face. He was just harmed by a group of corrupt scholars and barbarians.
"Housekeeper, hurry back to the capital immediately.
You must tell the fourth child personally that the people in his hands must be sent out as soon as possible. "
The leader thought for a moment and suddenly turned around, staring at the old housekeeper and sternly ordered: "People from Yue Palace, you should also send someone to notify immediately:
The little prince will definitely take people to search the stronghold within a day. What the old man told him a few days ago must be done within an hour.
In any case, this matter can only be related to the King of Yue, and absolutely must not involve others! "
"Yes, sir.
The old slave will do it now! "
……
"When did you meet Peng Tong?"
"October last year."
"But someone introduced it?"
"no one.
It was Cao Min who came to the door by himself and accidentally met the owner. "
"How did you meet Ji Ming when you went to Ji's mansion on business?"
"Master Peng ordered Cao Min to give Master Ji a toy, and Cao Min was lucky enough to meet Master Ji just now."
"It's just that Ji Ming took a fancy to you and left you to work with his son?"
"Uh……
Yes, Your Highness.
Cao Min now thinks about it and feels that it is inappropriate. "
"Hehe~
Not only is it inappropriate, it is treating Bengong as a fool! "
Heaven Prison.
Li Jing and Li Jing asked and answered, but Liu Wenzhao's confession obviously made Li Jing extremely angry.
Although he is still unable to determine whether Ji Ming and the two have betrayed, the person behind the scenes has obviously left behind.
Once the assassin is exposed, there is no way to get any useful information from him.
And if this matter is pursued, the final spearhead is very likely to be pointed at himself.
But if he just gave up, he would be really unwilling.
"Liu Wenzhao.
Bengong asks you, where will you live in the capital? "
"A small courtyard on the east side of Suzaku Street."
Liu Wenzhao said frankly as if accepting his fate.
Hearing this, Li Jing stood up with eyes like lightning, gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you know the way?"
"knowledge!
Cao Min went back and forth several times by himself, and he definitely could not go wrong. "
Liu Wenzhao nodded heavily.
Li Jing became more and more convinced that this was another scheme of the people behind the scenes.
But in any case, he had to take a look, maybe there would be some clues to be found here.
"Let's go, take Bengong to have a look.
If you can find out the traces of the steward of the Yue Palace, I may be able to spare your life! "
As Li Jing said, he turned and left on his own.
Seeing this, Liu Wenzhao staggered to his feet and shouted anxiously: "Your Highness!
The grassroots knew that their crimes were serious, so they did not dare to ask His Highness for mercy.
But Cao Min's family is innocent, please His Highness be merciful and let them live! "
Li Jing paused when he heard this, took a deep breath and said without looking back: "I am not a bloodthirsty person.
If there is nothing wrong with your young lady, I will only take your life.
If anything happens to the young lady, the palace will only kill those related to it.
You can rest assured that I will never embarrass your family. "
"Thank you, Your Highness!
Thank you, Your Highness the Prince! "
Liu Wenzhao shouted with joy on his face, but Xi Junmai and others curled their lips secretly.
It seems that when Li Jing returns to the palace today, whose family is he going to kill? !
