"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the prince will personally try the case, then..."

When Zhao Chen said this, everyone present changed their faces.

Even Dai Zhou was stunned for a moment.

He did not hear any news about the prince's involvement in the case.

How did Zhao Chen know?

"The prince and I have always had a grudge against each other, and the Duke of Chen, Hou Junji, will not let this matter go easily."

"During the interrogation, you will be tortured. At that time, I hope you..."

"Zhao Chen!" Dai Zhou suddenly shouted loudly, his face cold and stern.

"I hope you don't hold on. I am the one they want to deal with. No matter how you protect me, you will not change the fact that you are scolding me."

"So, you answer whatever he asks, and just say yes, and put all the responsibility on me."

"Do you understand!" Zhao Chen's voice rang in the interrogation room.

The anger on Dai Zhou's face had already turned into a look of surprise.

Just now, he thought that Zhao Chen wanted the people in front of him to take all the responsibilities.

Take him off from this matter.

Dai Zhou did not expect that Zhao Chen would actually ask these people to turn all the responsibilities on him.

"Boss, we can't do this!" the old shopkeeper shouted with Zhao Chen.

"I am the boss, I will say whatever I say. Don't forget, you all have to listen to me."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Zhao Chen and the others said, and got up and walked out.

"Boss!" The old shopkeeper's shout came from behind.

...

"Zhao Chen, do you know the consequences of doing this?" Outside the cell of Dali Temple, Dai Zhou blocked Zhao Chen's way.

"You said it myself, the prince has a grudge with you, and Hou Junji wants to get rid of you and get it right away."

"When you ask those people to interrogate, they will answer whatever the prince asks. At that time, you may be punished for any crime."

"You are seeking death by yourself!" Dai Zhou was very annoyed and pointed at Zhao Chen's nose and scolded.

Even Dai Zhou himself didn't understand why he was so angry.

"Dai Shaoqing, I made you lose face in the past, why do you still care about my life and death today?" Zhao Chen asked Dai Zhou with a smile, looking at the buildings ahead.

"I!" Dai Zhou's face stuttered.

"Thank you!" Zhao Chen bowed and Dai Zhou and left with a smile.

Dai Zhou stood there, looking at Zhao Chen's back as he was getting farther and farther away.

He didn't know why he cared about Zhao Chen's life or death.

Logically speaking, it is only because he has a grudge against Zhao Chen, and he should not be able to die a good death.

But it just happened...

"Sir Shaoqing, should those people use punishment first?" A yamen runner asked Dai Zhou.

"No need, wait for the prince to come over to investigate." Dai Zhou waved.

...

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Tai went to the palace.

After paying homage to Empress Changsun, Li Tai rushed to see the emperor.

Otherwise, the opportunity will not be possible.

In Ganquan Palace, the emperor was planning his next route to tour the south of the Yangtze River.

Hou Junji, the Ministry of War and several officials from the Ministry of Justice stood down for a while.

"Your Majesty, the news that the bun shop and the buns have poisoned people has been spread all over the city."

"The relevant personnel were also arrested in Dali Temple..."

"Since everyone is controlled, there is naturally Dali Temple to try the case. The Ministry of Justice is so concerned about this matter." The emperor stopped writing and looked at Li Daozong, the Minister of Justice.

"Your Majesty, the relevant personnel are controlled, but the owner behind the Wangyou Baozi Shop is Zhao Chen."

"I am worried that Dali Temple will not strictly investigate this matter." Li Daozong bowed.

Li Daozong came to talk about this matter at the request of Li Tai.

As the Prince of Jiangxia, Li Daozong worked hard for the stability of the Tang Dynasty all his life.

Prince Li Tai asked him for help, but he had no reason to refuse.

Of course, Li Daozong had no good impression of Hou Junji.

Just like now, Li Daozong stood far away from Hou Junji.

"Dali Temple will not examine this matter seriously, so do you think, who will examine this matter seriously?" The emperor spoke without any expression on his face.

The emperor had heard about this yesterday.

The buns at Wangyou Baozi Shop are consuming so much that it is a big deal.

The emperor also wanted to deal with it strictly and quickly, but the truth of the matter had not yet come out.

If this is handled incorrectly, Zhao Chen will not cause trouble for himself at that time?

"This matter is related to Zhao Chen, and it is best for Your Majesty to be strict inquiries."

"I don't have time." The emperor waved his hand.

How could he have time to try this matter?

He was leaving Chang'an in a few days, so he couldn't explain his political affairs?

"Then please ask the prince to interrogate this matter!" Li Daozong spoke.

"Prince?"

"Is Li Tai who asked you to come?" The emperor glanced at everyone in front of him, unable to hide his sharpness in peace.

"yes."

"Your Majesty, as the crown prince, he always has to go through some things and can't even make a case. How can he take charge of such a huge country in the future?"

"Your Majesty asks the prince to fully handle this matter!" Li Daozong and the emperor advised.

"Where are you here today to talk about this?" the emperor asked the others.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow the Crown Prince to handle the matter with full authority." Hou Junji and others shouted to the emperor.

"Okay, okay." The emperor said three good words in a row, but there was still no expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, the prince is looking for a meeting!" said a eunuch and the emperor.

“It’s just right.”

"Let him in."

...

When Li Tai walked into Ganquan Hall, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing.

He also expected that once he asked himself to deal with the money shop's poisoning, the emperor would definitely be angry.

Everyone knows that he has a conflict with Zhao Chen.

If he was Li Tai, he, interrogated the case, Zhao Chen would definitely be implicated.

Can the emperor not be upset with such a blatant act of revenge?

"My son is paying homage to my father." Li Tai shouted with the emperor.

"Crown Prince, are you willing to go to Dali Temple to interrogate the case of bun poisoning?" The emperor looked at Li Tai and said lightly.

Li Tai was a little surprised. He thought that what he was greeted would be a storm from the emperor.

Don’t you think the emperor is so indifferent?

Could it be that the emperor no longer cared about Zhao Chen?

This is good news.

Li Tai thought to himself and bowed to the emperor: "My son also wants to share the worries of his father, so he asked the uncle to be a lobbyist for his son."

"Share the worries?" The emperor glanced at Li Tai, nodded, and said, "Even so, I will respond to you and go to Dali Temple to interrogate the case."

"Duke Chen, please accompany the prince."

"My son receives the order."

"I obey the order!"

...

Li Tai was very surprised.

The emperor actually agreed to interrogate the case so easily.

There was not even a word of warning.

Li Tai couldn't help but think that the emperor gave up on Zhao Chen.

Since that's the case, then...

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, don't take it lightly. It doesn't matter if we find the result of this case. If there is no result, your Majesty can't explain it!" Hou Junji poured a basin of cold water on Li Tai.

"result?"

"It's just a few ordinary people. Let's talk about the torture instruments from Dali Temple first." Li Tai said with a smile.

As long as the shopkeepers and friends were given the confession and framed Zhao Chen.
