"Yes..."

The two heard Cheng Yaojin's instructions.

They all stepped forward and prepared to tie up the man.

But at this moment, one of them suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the assassin's chest.

Before Cheng Yaojin and another Shenwu soldier could react.

He suddenly swung the dagger and stabbed himself in the throat without hesitation.

This sudden change shocked Cheng Yaojin and another Shenwu soldier.

The two of them froze in place for a long time without coming back to their senses.

Cheng Yaojin's plan was not thoughtless.

He thought of everything that should be thought of. ??

They even thought about how to deal with the other party's self-harm.

But he never expected that there would be a dead soldier among his confidants...

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but sigh: "It's really amazing..."

…

This is the case with Cheng Yaojin.

Changsun Wuji's side wasn't much better either.

His experience was similar to that of Cheng Yaojin.

He found clues about the movements of those assassins among the people.

However, before he could take the person away, someone jumped out and killed him.

After killing the other person, the person immediately committed suicide.

This level of cruelty is simply unheard of and unseen.

Wait until the two of them go to restore Li Shimin's life.

Li Shimin suddenly became furious.

"You two, one is the General of the Left Guard and the other is the Prime Minister of the Right, and you can actually let assassins sneak into your side. What else can you do?"

"Two people who have been training falcons for thousands of years actually got their eyes pecked out by an eagle today!"

"What else can you two do? What else can I expect from you?"

After hearing this reprimand from Li Shimin.

The two of them knelt on the ground with their heads lowered, not even daring to raise their heads.

This is really embarrassing.

It's so embarrassing to be thrown into grandma's house.

Both of them were ashamed of themselves.

After Li Shimin finished cursing,

.

Cheng Yaojin dared to speak: "Your Majesty, almost all the clues that can be found have been broken."

"Next...what should we do?"

"What else can be done?"

Li Shimin's eyes were gloomy: "Send orders to the Jinwu Guards and Dali Temple to hunt down the assassin with all their strength. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, I will find this person."

Changsun Wuji raised his head and glanced at Li Shimin, then lowered his head without saying a word.

…

On the second day, the soldiers of Jinwu Guard and spies from Dali Temple took to the streets and began to investigate the assassin.

But what they encountered was almost the same as Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin.

As long as a few clues are found, someone will stand up and silence the insider.

And this situation inevitably caused a sensation among the people.

People are spreading rumors everywhere that this is another trouble caused by the Li Tang royal family.

How long ago did Li Shimin kill his brother to succeed to the throne?

Now the Li Tang royal family has begun to make trouble again.

How can this make the people feel at ease and support Li as emperor?

Coupled with the instigation of thoughtful people, the previous commotion caused by Buddhist and aristocratic affairs not only failed to subside but intensified.

Even on the streets of Chang'an, there were scenes of more than a hundred Buddhists sitting in protest.

…

A few days later, morning.

When I heard the minister reporting on the situation in Chang'an.

Li Shimin was very melancholy.

After all, he is not a tyrant who kills people and drives the people away at every turn.

So when encountering this kind of thing, he can't use force to solve it.

Li Shimin waved his hand with a headache: "If there is something to do, we will start, if there is nothing to do, we will retreat."

"My lord, I have something to report."

Lu Wanjie's father, Lu Qing, stood up.

Seeing this, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What does Lu Aiqing want to report?"

Lu Qing intervenes

He said: "I feel that the assassination of His Majesty should be investigated by people within the royal family."

Don't wait for Li Shimin to speak.

Someone jumped out and echoed: "I think Master Lu's words are reasonable."

"When His Majesty was assassinated, the royal family members were the most suspect, especially the direct princes."

Some even stood up and said: "I feel that the most suspicious person is King Qin."

"Because only the King of Qin knows about His Majesty's movements, and only the King of Qin has the opportunity to arrange everything in advance."

Originally, those things in the past were enough to make Li Shimin melancholy.

Now these people's reports have really made Li Shimin a little angry.

Especially when I heard those who asked me to investigate Li Chengqian.

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Shimin said directly: "First of all, I want to travel with the King of Qin. It was a temporary decision and the King of Qin didn't know about it."

"Secondly, when I was attacked, King Qin fought tooth and nail to protect me. If he was an assassin, did he need to protect me with his life?"

"Furthermore, in the assassin's attack, I died and King Qin survived. Isn't it obvious who the murderer is?"

"Do you think that my King Qin is a fool?"

Li Shimin rebutted everyone loudly.

But Lu Qing refused and said, "What if the King of Qin did it deliberately and wanted to show it in front of His Majesty?"

"What if King Qin wants to use this to gain His Majesty's favor?"

After hearing this, someone immediately stood up and seconded the proposal.

"Master Lu is right."

"It is not impossible for the King of Qin to try to seize the crown prince position by saving His Majesty from danger."

This time, Li Shimin really laughed.

He threw his head back and laughed.

You know, Li Shimin offered the crown prince position to Li Chengqian again and again, but he didn't want it.

Does he need to use this method to gain his favor?

Does he need to use this method to seek the crown prince?

Lu Qing took the lead and knelt down facing Li Shimin and kowtowed.

"

The minister died and remonstrated, and ordered the King of Qin to go to the fief and take office."
