Chapter 88: The Thief Appears!
He did as he was told, and soon, Li Chengfeng wrapped Mi Xiang and handed Fang Xuanling a small book.
Fang Xuanling asked in confusion: "Eighth Prince, why did you give me this pamphlet?"
Li Chengfeng wiped his nose and said: "Liang Guogong, wait a minute. We are going to visit the homes of all the ministers in the palace! Anyway, if you find ministers who have medicinal materials like Mixiang, use a small book to record their names.
Come down!"
"Li Junxian!"
"I'm here!"
"You are responsible for protecting us! If you find the thief and he starts to resist, you will just draw your sword and kill him. Do you understand?"
"This is the Eighth Prince, I take orders!"
Although Li Junxian is not good at solving crimes, his skills are still very good.
Last time Li Chengfeng had a fight with Li Junxian in the Prince's Mansion.
Li Junxian can match his ultimate swordsmanship with two moves, and he can be said to be a rare swordsman genius!
Soon, Li Chengfeng took Li Junxian, Fang Xuanling and Big Black Dog and set out to search for people with this kind of mysterious fragrance.
After spending a whole day, Li Chengfeng discovered that there were many ministers who owned this fragrant medicine, even the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.
Because most of them are placed inside beams to channel mosquitoes and mice and prevent them from eating the beams.
As a result, there are many ministers who have incense, which makes it difficult to handle.
Moreover, when arresting people in this way, it is easy to arrest the wrong person!
"Eighth Prince, this old minister has been accompanying you for the whole day. I have already recorded 23 ministers. There are things like scented medicinal materials in the palace! This kind of thing is very popular in the Tang Dynasty. Generally, we will use this kind of thing to drive away
Mosquitoes! Especially in summer, mosquitoes are rampant! Many ministers even use incense to help them sleep!"
"Well, it doesn't matter, just do as I say! There is another person in Duke Yun's mansion who has not been investigated! Come on, let's go in and take a look!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
…
"The Eighth Prince has arrived!"
Before entering, Fang Xuanling raised her voice and shouted.
Soon, two guards opened the door in Duke Yun's mansion, and an old man with a hurried expression walked out of the mansion to greet Li Chengfeng while putting on his clothes!
"Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun State, pays homage to the Eighth Prince!"
"Well, Duke Yun! The emperor's one hundred thousand gold for disaster relief has been stolen. I think you already know about this, right?"
"Yes, I already know it!"
"Well, that's okay! Then please cooperate with me, we are going to start searching your house!"
Li Chengfeng said vigorously!
Duke Yun's eyes instantly revealed a trace of doubt, and he said: "Eighth Prince, I am very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. How could I be a thief who stole one hundred thousand gold!"
"I didn't say it was you, we just suspected it! So when we are handling the case, we have the right to check your house to see if there is any motive for the crime left by the thief! How dare you not cooperate?"
"Well, then, the Eighth Prince, you can check it as you like. As long as you can find the one hundred thousand gold from the old minister's house and the head on the old minister's neck, you can take it as you like!"
"Well, okay! Erbai, start the search!"
"Woof woof!"
The big black dog received Li Chengfeng's order and quickly started searching the Yun Gong's mansion.
However, at this moment, Li Chengfeng noticed a faint smile on Zhang Liang's face.
No, the other princes were all nervous when they heard that he had come to search, so why did Zhang Liang smile instead?
Or is it that he is inherently confident?
"Woof woof, woof woof!"
Suddenly, Erbai screamed under a wooden beam in Yun Guogong.
Li Chengfeng followed up and took a look, and sure enough, there was a small white package placed under the wooden beam.
Inside this package, there is this fragrant medicinal material.
Li Chengfeng's eyes widened, he looked at Fang Xuanling and said: "Dong Liang, please write down the name of Duke Yun and ask him to come to the court early tomorrow morning to attend court!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince!"
"Wait, wait a minute! The Eighth Prince! The fragrant medicinal herbs I have used are used to prevent rats from chewing the wooden beams. How can you doubt this on my head?"
"Sorry, before we find the murderer, everyone in the palace is our suspect! Don't ask so many questions! Just remember to come to court tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Li Chengfeng took Fang Xuanling and turned around and left the Yun Gong's mansion!
However, at this moment, Zhang Liang's eyes when he looked at Li Chengfeng became increasingly gloomy.
At this time, a man in black ran up to Zhang Liang and said, "Mr. Yun, why is the eighth prince so smart? It only took him one day to suspect you?"
"Humph, you must have been negligent while you were doing things!"
"Impossible! We are very rigorous when doing things! We will never leave any traces for others to observe our whereabouts!"
There was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the man in black.
"Snapped!"
Zhang Liang slapped the man in black hard in the face and shouted: "Strict? Will rigorousness lead the Eighth Prince to find out about me? Huh! You must have missed a bag of scented medicine when you left.
That’s why the Eighth Prince suspected us!”
"Ah? However, many ministers have fragrant medicinal materials in their homes, and there are also many among the people. Why does the Eighth Prince doubt us?"
"Idiot, didn't you listen to what he said? Don't ask so many questions, just come to court tomorrow morning!" Zhang Liang was a little frightened and said: "I think that early tomorrow morning, the Eighth Prince will definitely search for innocent people.
But I am suspicious! No matter how calm I pretend to be, there may be flaws! Therefore, the gold cannot be left in our hands!"
"What? That's one hundred thousand gold!" The man in black was worried.
Zhang Liang slapped the man in black again and said: "I'm afraid you've spent your money and your life! Do you really think that the Eighth Prince is a vegetarian? The Eighth Prince is the number one prodigy in the world. He is smart and talented. Looking at the world, there is no one who can't do it."
No one can defeat us! We have been stealing gold for a week, and everyone has been able to trace it to us! The Eighth Prince just took over the case today, and he traced it to us at night?"
"This boy should not be underestimated!"
A murderous intent flashed across the eyes of the man in black, and he said: "Uncle, how about I go and kill the Eighth Prince tonight? As long as he doesn't intervene in this matter, the Emperor can't find us, then he will be blamed in the end.
The blame must be Fang Xuanling!"
"Hmph, kill him? Can you beat Li Junxian? Didn't you see that General Li Junxian, known as the strongest bodyguard of the younger generation, is standing next to the eighth prince? You kill him? I'm still afraid of you
If you die, you will expose me!"
"Here, what should we do now? You are going to court tomorrow!"
"It's okay, Zhang Tan, go and investigate for me now! How many ministers' homes did the Eighth Prince check today, and whose homes are there that he hasn't checked yet?"
