Although her daughter is still young and does not need to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day, Li Zhiyun feels that it is right to pamper and raise her daughter, and she strictly implements it.
After giving gifts and staying with his daughter for a while, Li Zhiyun left the backyard and came to the study.
"Duan Shui Shui has found out that Qian Jiulong first took people to the Chun'an Grain Shop in Xishi City last night, and then left alone. The remaining people transferred the rice in the grain shop to another yard. Duan Shui Shui sneaked into it,
It was found that the standard crossbow of the Ministry of Industry was hidden in the rice bag."
"What?" Li Zhiyun looked at Li Zhen, "Did you read Duanshuishui correctly?"
"Your Highness, he is a member of the Imperial Guard, so it is impossible for him to misjudge the Ministry of Industry's standard crossbow."
Li Zhiyun frowned and walked back and forth in the study. The crossbow lost by the Ministry of Industry actually appeared in the grain store in the West Market, and it was also related to Qian Jiulong.
What do they want to do?
smuggling?
But that's not right. The total number of crossbows lost by the Ministry of Industry is not that many. How much money can you make from smuggling such a small amount at the risk of beheading?
"Have you found out the details about Chun'an Grain Store and that yard?"
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Chun'an Grain Store is run by the former caravan of the warrior Xun. As for the yard, it seems to be the property of the Dou family."
Li Zhiyun stopped walking, and his thoughts suddenly came over like a storm.
This matter is indeed related to the warrior Yu!
Samurai Yu was originally a businessman, and he gradually abandoned his old business after he became famous with Lao Li. However, his former subordinates are still in business. Relying on the big tree of Samurai Yu, his younger brothers are doing reasonably well in business.
Yes. If the Chun'an grain store is related to the warrior Yu, it makes perfect sense.
However, the Dou family's grain depot in Xishi was actually involved.
Warrior Yun and Qian Jiulong cooperated to sneak crossbows into Dou's property without anyone noticing. What did they want to do?
frame?
Yes, only frame-up can make sense.
But the problem is, the warriors Yun and Qian Jiulong seem to have no grudges against the Dou family.
What are the benefits to them?
The more he thought about it, the more confused Li Zhiyun's thoughts became.
"Go to Du Fu!"
"yes."
Unable to figure it out, Li Zhiyun had no choice but to go to Counselor Du Ruhui.
Du Fu.
After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Du Ruhui's face became extremely solemn. His thoughts were racing for a while, and then they gradually calmed down.
"Keming, this matter is really complicated." Li Zhiyun muttered: "If it is true that the warriors Xun and Qian Jiulong teamed up to frame the Dou family, then I'm afraid the things behind it are not simple."
Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, if the warrior Yu is really in charge of this matter, then it makes sense that Your Highness has never been able to detect the thief."
Isn't that right? The Minister of the Ministry of Industry took the lead in stealing things. Who can find out?
When the thief shouts "Catch the thief", he is talking about the warrior Yu.
No wonder the two doctors in charge of the armory were beaten to death and refused to admit that they had stolen anything. It turned out that they had not stolen anything.
No wonder Samurai Yun vowed that he would be able to solve the case with a forced search.
Li Zhiyun rubbed his temples and said distressedly: "It's useless to talk about this now. I just want to know why Samurai Yu and Qian Jiulong teamed up to do this kind of thing. What are they planning?"
There must be a motive for framing others. Either for money, for power, or for revenge.
Warrior Xun and Qian Jiulong, what can they gain by framing the Dou family?
Li Zhiyun couldn't think of it even after thinking about it.
Speaking of revenge is even more empty talk. The warriors Yu and Qian Jiulong were not taken seriously by the Dou family at all in the court, and there was no grudge between the two parties.
Warrior Yun and Qian Jiulong were so full that they could do such a thing?
Du Ruhui asked: "Your Highness, what do you think the warrior Yu is planning to do by framing the Dou family?"
Li Zhiyun shook his head, "To tell you the truth, when I came to see you, I thought about it, but I really couldn't figure out what the warrior Yu was planning."
"My subordinates can't think of it." Du Ruhui said: "Warriors Yu and Qian Jiulong, although they are both Yuan Cong of Jinyang, their status in the court is not high, and my subordinates have never heard of them and Dou
Do you have any grudges or conflicts of interests?"
"According to what you say, they have nothing to do and are free after they are full?" Li Zhiyun said jokingly, taking pleasure in the misery.
Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "My subordinates originally thought that there should be some reason why Warrior Yu and Qian Jiulong teamed up to frame the Dou family, but after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't explain it. Just now, His Highness said that Warrior Yu and Qian Jiulong teamed up.
, but it makes my subordinates think of another possibility."
"What's possible?"
"May I ask, Your Highness, do Qian Jiulong and Samurai Yu have a close relationship?"
Li Zhiyun frowned and thought for a while, then said uncertainly: "They don't have any close friendship, right? Qian Jiulong was a guard of my father's emperor. This man inherited his father's title in the Sui Dynasty. Later, he was convicted and was not a slave. He was sent to the frontier. Is this right?
My father valued his horsemanship and archery skills and recruited him into the palace. The warrior Yu was a merchant, and there was no friendship between the two."
"In that case, how could the two of them join forces?" Du Ruhui asked first, and then said: "Moreover, this time they used bows and crossbows to frame the Dou family. As nobles, how could they not know that the Dou family was in the court?
Status, wealth, and power are all unreasonable, so who gave them the courage to frame the Dou family? Who could allow the two of them to join forces to frame the Dou family?"
After hearing this, Li Zhiyun started brainstorming.
The Dou family had a family with two prime ministers, and the Dou family was the leader of the Guanlong family. There were very few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who dared to cause trouble for the Dou family.
If we really wanted to find a few people, it would be the emperor, the prince, the King of Qin, or the Dugu family of Guanlong.
The King of Qin first ruled out that he had a close relationship with the Dou family and that he would do such a stupid thing that harmed himself and benefited others because he was out of his mind.
The Dugu family was eliminated. As a member of Guanlong, the Dugu family was not stupid enough to fight with the Dou family at this time.
Only the prince and the emperor were left.
To be honest, the prince is the most likely. Because Dou supports the King of Qin, the prince has long regarded him as a thorn in his side.
However, the warriors Xun and Qian Jiulong, whose relationship with the prince was average, could not risk beheading their heads to help the prince do such a thing. Because once the matter was leaked, even if the emperor could let them go, Dou would do it.
Kill them.
Then the only one left is the emperor.
Warrior Xun and Qian Jiulong are both from Jinyang Yuancong. One supports Lao Li and the other is Lao Li's personal bodyguard. Both of them are Lao Li's confidants. Only Lao Li has the power to let these two have a normal relationship.
People join forces to do this kind of thing.
Without the emperor Lao Li as their backer, how could the warriors Xun and Qian Jiulong have the courage to frame the Dou family?
Now, the most suspicious person is Emperor Li Yuan.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun looked at Du Ruhui and said, "Keming, I think of a person. Only he can make the warriors Xun and Qian Jiulong willingly risk beheading to attack the Dou family."
"I also have a person in my heart." Du Ruhui said.
The moment the two people looked at each other, the answer was already clear in their hearts.
Du Ruhui said in a low voice: "Recently, since the King of Qin returned to the court after his great victory over Liu Wuzhou, the prince has been suppressed by many in the court. Three of the six ministers in the political affairs hall are biased towards the King of Qin. This must be clear to the saint. The saint promoted Chen Shuda to be
When looking at each other,
They probably didn't expect that Chen Shuda would be a member of the King of Qin. Now that the sage saw Chen Shuda's direction clearly, he naturally tried every means to suppress the King of Qin. Previously, his subordinates heard that the sage intended to send Dou Wei's son Dou Yun to the Turks, but Dou Wei refused.
"
"Looking at it now, it may be that His Majesty was planning this matter behind the scenes to demote Dou Wei from the political affairs hall."
Li Zhiyun was silent. The reason why Dugu Zhen left the court was because Guan Long was powerful and restricted Li Yuan in the political affairs hall. When Chen Shuda was promoted, Li Yuan originally thought that he had no connection with Guan Long.
But Chen Shuda was actually a member of the King of Qin. In other words, the power of the Qin King's family in the court was not actually weakened.
And because of the relationship between the King of Qin, Chen Shuda and Dou Wei and Dou Kang collaborated a lot, indirectly becoming the second "Dugu Zhen".
How could Li Yuan tolerate this kind of thing?
Therefore, it makes perfect sense for the warriors Xun and Qian Jiulong to frame the Dou family this time.
