"Zhao Chen, didn't you say those assassins should have arrived yesterday?"
"Why haven't I seen any movement all night?"
In the village of Wannian County, Li Ruoshuang got up early in the morning.
I looked left and right, but I didn't see anything strange in the village, so I couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Maybe they were scared, so they didn't come." Zhao Chen saw Li Ruoshuang leaning her head to ask him, and smiled at her.
"In this case, I still want to chop them all down one by one so that they can deal with you, huh." Li Ruoshuang snorted and waved her hand towards the air.
Zhao Chen smiled and did not answer any more.
Luo Tong came here early this morning and left quickly after that.
The traces outside the village have also been cleaned up, and nothing can be seen.
"Hey, Zhao Chen, do we have to go back today? Uncle Fu is alone at home and there is no one to talk to him." Li Ruoshuang suddenly remembered something.
"Okay, we are pretty busy with things in the village. It's time to go back. However, let's wait a little longer. Someone should come over later." Zhao Chen nodded.
Now that the Cui family's affairs have been settled, Li Chengqian should also understand what he means.
If there is another way to deal with him, the person who dies will not be as simple as Cui Yan.
Zhao Chen also knew that the emperor was definitely still waiting for him to explain.
In any case, he seems to be the one who has the deepest hatred for Cui Yan.
Yesterday, I asked Cheng Chumo and the others to destroy all Cui Yan's shops.
Now that he is dead, who wouldn't doubt him?
"Someone is coming, who is it?" Li Ruoshuang was a little curious, but before Zhao Chen could say anything, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
"Here we go." Zhao Chen smiled and poured the eggs into the pot.
"Zhao Chen." Qin Qiong's voice sounded outside.
"Uncle Qin." Li Ruoshuang and Qin Qiong shouted.
"Girl Ruoshuang." Qin Qiong nodded and looked at Zhao Chen with a hint of worry.
"Uncle Qin hasn't had breakfast yet. Please wait a moment and he'll be ready soon." Zhao Chen said to Qin Qiong with a relaxed look.
Qin Qiong looked at Zhao Chen. She originally had many things in her heart, but now she didn't know where to start.
He could only say, "Uncle Qin, I will just sit here and wait."
Wei Zheng originally came with him, but was stopped by Qin Qiong.
After what happened with Cui Yan, it would not make much sense for Wei Zheng to come again.
The noodles are ready quickly, and a poached egg is added to each person.
"Uncle Qin, please try it quickly. Our Zhao Chen's craftsmanship is the best in the Tang Dynasty, and ordinary people can't taste it." Li Ruoshuang persuaded Qin Qiong very proudly.
Qin Qiong has a deep understanding of Zhao Chen's craftsmanship.
I had eaten in a tavern with Cheng Yaojin before, and it was indeed better than any other restaurant.
However, his mind is not on eating right now.
After finishing the noodles quickly, Qin Qiong took a few deep breaths and then asked slowly: "Zhao Chen, Cui Yan is dead."
"Cui Yan is dead? How did he die?" Li Ruoshuang's expression changed, and he was full of curiosity.
Qin Qiong did not answer, but observed Zhao Chen's expression.
However, Zhao Chen didn't see any change in his expression after hearing the news.
He didn't even pause to pick up the noodles.
It's a bit strangely calm.
"Zhao Chen, His Majesty asked me to come over and take you back to Chang'an for questioning. Tell Uncle Qin the truth about whether you killed Cui Yan." Qin Qiong still stared at Zhao Chen closely, waiting for his answer.
"How is this possible? Zhao Chen has been with me these days and he has never been out. How could he kill Cui Yan!"
"Uncle Qin, is there someone trying to frame Zhao Chen? Tell me and I will go find him now." Li Ruoshuang looked anxious.
He was said to be taken back for questioning, but who knows what will happen in the end.
After entering Chang'an, we didn't just let them have the final say!
"Ruoshuang, you sit down and continue eating." Zhao Chen comforted Li Ruoshuang, nodded to Qin Qiong with a calm face and said, "Yes, I killed the person."
"Zhao Chen!" Li Ruoshuang didn't believe it at all.
"Why do you want to kill him? In the court hall today, all the officials came out one after another and asked Your Majesty to punish you. Your Majesty had no choice, so he asked me to take you back for questioning."
"Zhao Chen, we have a meeting tomorrow, have you thought about how to answer?" Qin Qiong said slowly, with worry in her eyes.
"Actually, Uncle Qin, now that you are here, I know what Your Majesty means. No one has evidence to prove that I killed Cui Yan, right?" Zhao Chen smiled.
Old Li Tou still cares about himself.
Otherwise, the person who came today would not be Qin Qiong, but maybe a government official from Dali Temple or even a soldier from the army.
However, this time it was like this with Cui Yan, and Lao Li Tou still chose to protect himself.
But what if Cui Yan is replaced by Li Chengqian?
Then it can only be a large army coming here.
Zhao Chen understood and would not have any complaints.
I just hope that after this time, Li Chengqian will not be aggressive again.
"You kid knows very well. As long as you insist at tomorrow's meeting that you did not kill this person, you will be fine."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Doctor Wei, your Uncle Cheng, and I will all help you!" Qin Qiong patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, looking much more relaxed.
"Then thank Uncle Qin first." Zhao Chen nodded.
During one year in Datang, there were still many people who cared about me.
"Zhao Chen, I'll go with you tomorrow." Li Ruoshuang grabbed Zhao Chen's hand and said worriedly.
"No, you go back to the Duke's Mansion and tell your mother-in-law that I will go there to eat after I go to court. This time, I will eat a lot, and you have to go and help me." Zhao Chen held Li Ruoshuang's little hand.
"Can……"
"Don't worry, it's just a question. Besides, with Uncle Qin here, I'll be fine." Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Qin Qiong originally wanted to ask more about how Zhao Chen killed Cui Yan.
But thinking that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the more beneficial it would be for Zhao Chen, he finally endured it.
After breakfast and a few words of advice with the villagers, Zhao Chen and the others set off back to Chang'an.
…
"Your Majesty, did that boy Zhao Chen really kill Cui Yan?"
When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin coming in the Zhengdian Hall, she immediately grabbed his hand and asked.
She really didn't believe how a kind-hearted child like Zhao Chen could do such a thing.
"Mr. Guanyin, don't forget what Wei Zheng said to us before!"
"Cui Yan, he summoned assassins and prepared to assassinate Zhao Chen."
"If Cui Yan doesn't die, Zhao Chen will die." Li Shimin frowned.
Of course he knew how Zhao Chen killed so many people in Cui Yan.
The mobilization of the Xuanjia Army has always been secret.
No one knows except himself and Li Jing.
But last night, the Xuanjia Army's camp was empty.
All three thousand Xuanjia troops were dispatched.
At that time, Li Shimin knew that Zhao Chen was going to cause trouble.
I just didn't expect that Cui Yan and the others would be killed.
Queen Changsun said nothing.
She just thought that a warm and genial young man like Zhao Chen should not have to deal with blood.
"Zhao Chen still has a long way to go in the future. If he is ignorant of kindness, I would not trust him to hand over this country."
"This time, he did the right thing. Now, it depends on how he makes excuses." Li Shimin had a smile on his face.?
