Chapter 203 The Japanese are courting death again!
"If I don't go back to Lijiazhuang early, the house will definitely be even more lively today than yesterday!" Li Xuandao.
"Ah Ying Ming!" Li Baoding bowed his hands and looked at Li Xuan with admiration on his face.
"Um!"
Li Xuan's face froze slightly and he nodded slowly.
However, Li Xuan was still a little uncomfortable with Li Baoding's address to him.
"The king is back!"
"Meet the king!"
When Li Xuan returned to Lijiazhuang and became a veteran like Laosi, he hurriedly came forward to pay his respects.
Now, as the glass greenhouses make money, these veterans have also settled in Lijiazhuang, bringing their wives, children, and children over, and they all spend the Chinese New Year in Lijiazhuang.
"But what happened?"
Li Xuan looked at Cheng Laosi and asked doubtfully.
"Back to your Majesty, a thief came in on New Year's Eve!"
Cheng Laosi circled around Li Chang, Ma Xi and others beside Li Xuan, and reported in a slow voice.
"But because we had laid traps in the mountains and forests, the thief was trapped before he even touched the glass greenhouse!"
"Where did this stupid thief come from? He didn't even go home on New Year's Eve and still went out to cause trouble?"
Li Xuan asked curiously.
"Back to your Majesty, they are Japanese!"
Cheng Laosi said.
"Japanese?"
Li Xuan was startled, "Haven't these Japanese been expelled from the Tang Dynasty? Why are there still Japanese near Chang'an City?"
"Your Majesty, even this villain doesn't know about this!"
Cheng Laosi shook his head gently and said helplessly, "But these Japanese people have been studying in my country for so long. As long as you don't observe them carefully, you really can't tell them apart!"
Li Xuan didn't take Cheng Laosi's words to heart, but asked directly: "Where are those Japanese people now? Have you ever asked why those Japanese people are here?"
"Back to the king, those Japanese are hanging in the house where the villain and others are. The reason why these Japanese are here is that they are still obsessed with the glass greenhouse. They want to take advantage of the New Year's Day, when everyone is relaxing, to find out what is going on inside the greenhouse."
Cheng Laosi quickly raised his hands and said.
"Well, after asking if anyone is secretly helping them and draining their value, leave it to Wannian County and let Wannian County send people to track down the whereabouts and accomplices of these Japanese!"
Li Xuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
Li Baoding saw some curiosity in his eyes and continued: "If you are interested, you can go and see those Japanese people. However, be careful, those Japanese people are smelly!"
"Thank you Aye!"
Hearing this, Li Baoding's face lit up and he quickly looked at Cheng Laosi.
"King Huaiwei, please come this way!"
Cheng Laosi bowed slightly and asked Li Baoding for instructions.
Afterwards, he took Li Baoding to their residence.
Seeing this, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, and Li Baoding finally became more courageous.
But, when can this big baby be removed?
Thinking about the majestic King of Jin, this year is just a weak year, and he is followed by a half-grown eldest son all day long. What a mess!
Thinking about it, Li Xuan couldn't help but have a headache again.
…
Wannian County.
In the county government office, the county magistrate Zheng Yunde, who had just celebrated the lively New Year's Day and returned to the county government office to start work, was frightened by several half-dead Japanese people throwing on the ground in front of him before he could get over the joy of the New Year.
Startled.
"May I ask this old man, were these Japanese caught in Lijiazhuang?"
"Exactly!"
Cheng Laosi looked neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hands in salute: "Well, Zheng Mingfu learned that these Japanese people took advantage of the New Year's Eve to try to get into the glass greenhouse of the Supreme Emperor. Fortunately, I was vigilant like last time, so I waited outside in advance.
We laid a trap to prevent these Japanese from succeeding."
"Although we have already confessed all the Japanese after some interrogation, we still feel that these Japanese have accomplices nearby. Your Majesty ordered us to hand over these Japanese to Mr. Zheng. We also hope that Mr. Zheng will bring these Japanese to justice." The accomplices were arrested and brought to justice!”
"I also ask the old man to tell His Highness the King of Jin that I will do my best, even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will definitely catch these Japanese accomplices!"
Zheng Yunde looked solemn.
"In this case, I will trouble the Lord!"
Cheng Laosi slightly arched his hands, then turned and left.
Behind him, Zheng Yunde, who had a dark face, and several officials who looked embarrassed were left behind.
"Master Fu, what should we do?"
"Check! In Lijiazhuang, which is so close to Chang'an City, the Japanese were able to invade twice, and the target was the Emperor's glass greenhouse, twice! If Chou Yin Mao Lai is not found in this matter, don't tell me that I have left by then. People, you will definitely be implicated!"
Zheng Yunde squinted his eyes, looked around at the faces of all the officials, and said coldly, "No matter whose family we find, I hope you won't be confused. What kind of person is King Jin, and the Supreme Emperor is involved in this matter?" We must get to the bottom of things to find out!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, we all know the pros and cons!"
All the officials from Wannian County also looked solemn.
Let alone the Emperor's glass greenhouse, just because His Highness the King of Jin requested a strict investigation, officials like them had to investigate the matter to the bottom.
And those who can serve as officials in Wannian County, Fuguo County, Chang'an, have huge power behind them.
When Cheng Laosi just returned to Lijiazhuang, the whole Wannian County started to become lively.
There are even some young adults in Zhuangzi who form teams from village to village to search the mountains and forests.
No matter how well these Japanese people hide themselves, in the eyes of the villagers, their behavior is very suspicious.
Soon, traces of Japanese people were actually found on the mountains near a small mountain village in Wannian County.
Four people in total!
When they were caught by the Wannian County government officials, these Japanese were nesting in a cave, shivering around a small fire.
The government officials were still on the side of the cave and found two large boxes of books.
Inside, there are various Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures, and many books on farming, fortification, astronomy, and geography.
"You mean, those Japanese people got a lot of books in the end?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that Wannian County Magistrate had indeed found a group of Japanese people and also seized two boxes of classics.
Immediately, he became furious.
"What a bunch of traitors!"
"You guys have found out whose family gave those Japanese books to these Japanese people?"
"Back to your Majesty, I have already beaten all the Japanese to death. All the tortures have been used, but the Japanese refused to say a word!"
Zheng Yunde bowed and reported quickly.
"Then go and investigate quickly. This magistrate of a county with ten thousand years of history is still a descendant of the Zheng family. I don't believe you can't find out!"
Li Xuan's tone was serious, he was really angry.
He originally thought that everything would be fine if all the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty were driven out of Chang'an City.
Who would have thought that some aristocratic families would be so shameless and act like traitors, daring to secretly support these Japanese people.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zheng Yunde was startled by Li Xuan's expression and quickly accepted.
"Are those Japanese ships still in Dengzhou?"
Li Xuan asked again.
"Master, I don't know about this either!" Li Chengqian quickly replied.
"Walk!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Xuan stood up directly.
"Master, where are you going?" Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.
"Enter the palace!"
Li Xuandao.
"Enter the palace?" Li Chengqian looked surprised.
However, before Li Chengqian had any reaction plan, Li Xuan had already walked out first.
Immediately, he got on Li Chengqian's carriage and hurried to the palace.
