Jinbenyang said hurriedly: "My lord, you have misunderstood. What I mean is that some of our Fusang knives are scattered outside. The wounds alone cannot prove that we Fusang people did it."
Although he didn't know who Cheng Yaojin was, what Cheng Yaojin just said told him that Cheng Yaojin was one of the companies that gave gifts yesterday.
Those families were all from the Duke's residence, and since Cheng Yaojin was one of them, it didn't take much to figure out that it was the Duke's.
He simply can't afford to offend such a person.
"Don't you mean that we are also suspected? Damn it, I said you Fusang people apologized and even gave you a few knives. It turned out that you were digging a hole for us." Yuchi Gong said cursingly.
Tsumotoyo almost cried, he really didn't have this idea.
"Okay," Li Shimin said, "We will discuss this matter after the investigation is clear. Before that, no one is allowed to leave Honglu Temple without permission from the Fuso Mission."
"Your Majesty." Wang Mian was very unwilling. In his opinion, this matter was done by the Fusang people.
Li Shimin's face hardened and he said: "The Tang Dynasty governed the country according to law, and everything must be evidenced. The evidence you mentioned is difficult to determine that it was the Fusang Envoy who did it. If they are convicted based on this, what will other countries think of me? Why?
Watch Datang?"
"What His Majesty said is that we, the Royal Family, are waiting for the results of the investigation."
Li Shimin has said this, what else can Wang Mian say?
If you go against the Fuso people, you won't be able to escape for a while.
…
Lin Xuan did not panic at all when Li Shimin sent someone to summon him to the palace, but instead laughed.
At this time, Li Shimin sent someone to summon him to the palace, which meant that Zhang Zhongjian and the others succeeded.
Thinking of those dead soldiers, Lin Xuan sneered in his heart: "This is just interest."
Arriving at the palace, Lin Xuan was taken to the side hall. After waiting for about half an hour, Lin Xuan was called into the study.
"See Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed and saluted.
Li Shimin didn't seem to hear Lin Xuan's words or notice that there was another person in front of him. He looked at the memorial seriously.
Lin Xuan glanced at Li Shimin quietly, and saw that Li Shimin didn't even look at him, and had no intention of asking him to get up. He could only stand with a bow.
Although he has been practicing martial arts, he has been hunched over like this, and he can't bear it after a long time.
Just when Lin Xuan could no longer hold on any longer, Li Shimin said, "Did you do the assassination of the Wang family and his son?"
Seeing that Li Shimin finally spoke, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, can you please get up and reply?"
Li Shimin was silent for a while and said, "Get back on your feet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xuan straightened up and felt a little stiff in his waist, so he rubbed it with his hands.
"Tell me, did you do it?" Li Shimin asked expressionlessly.
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart: "You asked me to come, and I told you it was not the case. Can you believe it?"
"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me." Lin Xuan thought for a while and decided to deny it.
It is definitely not possible to admit it, since Li Shimin has no evidence anyway.
"It has nothing to do with you? Do you think you recruit those people from the world, and I don't know about it?" Li Shimin said coldly.
The assassination in Chang'an City had already violated his taboo.
Even though he was suppressing the noble family, he took action in Chang'an without his permission and did not take him seriously at all.
"Your Majesty, I was assassinated before. I was lucky enough to survive. Naturally, I want to find some people with strong martial arts skills to look after my home. Isn't this illegal?" Lin Xuan looked at Li Shimin innocently.
"You..." Li Shimin said angrily: "All the knives Fusang gave you were given to Baiqi. If I know that you did this, I won't be able to spare you."
In Li Shimin's opinion, this matter was most likely done by Lin Xuan.
The knives Fuso gave to Lin Xuan must be new. Once used, there will be traces even if they are cleaned.
"Yes." Lin Xuan responded calmly, without any panic.
Seeing Lin Xuan agreeing so happily, Li Shimin was a little confused. Could it be that Lin Xuan really didn't do it?
Lin Xuan secretly laughed in his heart, naturally he would not be stupid enough to use the knives given by the Fuso people.
With the knives given by Tsumotoyo, he directly asked others to make a few of them.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You go back first."
…
Furong Garden
Li Tai looked at Han Wen and said, "Sir, have you heard about the assassination of Wang Ze and his son?"
"This matter has spread throughout Chang'an, so I've naturally heard about it." Han Wen said calmly.
Although he was placed next to Li Tai by Qi Wang, the fifth surname, his allegiance was to the Cui family. The assassination of the Wang family had little to do with him.
"Sir, this incident has given me a great inspiration." Li Taiyi said pointedly.
Han Wen was shocked and lost his voice: "Your Highness wants to assassinate the prince?"
He really didn't expect that Li Tai would come up with such a stupid idea.
As a prince, how could Li Chengqian be so easy to assassinate?
If it could be assassinated, would the noble family not think of it?
Li Tai nodded and said with a ferocious expression: "My father actually made Fang Xiang the Crown Prince and Grand Master. If this continues, will I still have a chance in the future?"
Li Tai naturally knew that Li Chengqian was not easy to assassinate, but seeing Li Chengqian's position becoming more and more stable, he had no choice but to do anything.
Unless he is willing to give up the fight for the crown prince position, he will have no choice but to fight.
Han Wen pondered for a while and shook his head: "No, there is no chance of success."
"I naturally know how difficult it is, but as long as Qiwang of the Five Surnames is willing to do his best to help me, there is still a high chance of success." Li Tai said.
Han Wen sneered in his heart. The family would try their best to assassinate him, but he could not do it without knowing it.
If you do that, you will undoubtedly declare war with Li Shimin, and it is naturally impossible for the family to do that.
Although Han Wen thinks Li Tai is a bit stupid, Li Tai's ruthlessness is in line with the interests of the family.
Han Wen thought for a while and said: "Your Highness, I have obtained a strange medicine from the Western Regions. After people or animals eat it, they will become excited after a stick of incense."
"What's the use of just being excited? Besides, poisoning is impossible." Li Tai shook his head and said.
He is a prince himself, so he naturally knows the rules of the royal family.
The meals Li Chengqian eats will be tasted by a dedicated person and only if there are no problems will Li Chengqian eat them.
Han Wen smiled and said: "Your Highness, I didn't say poisoning the prince, but poisoning the prince's horse."
Li Tai's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a good idea. All we need to do is bribe the groom who is responsible for feeding the horses in the East Palace."
"Your Highness, although the horse will be excited after taking this medicine, the prince must be accompanied by experts when traveling. Even if the horse becomes excited after taking the medicine, the guards will definitely stop it if they notice something is wrong. At most, the prince will be frightened." Han Wen said.
Li Tai asked doubtfully: "What do you mean, sir?"
"Your Highness can invite the prince to race horses. When the horses are racing, it is not easy for the guards to be with you." Han Wen said with a smile.
"No, if you do this, even fools will know that it was me who did it." Li Tai refused.
Although he wanted to kill Li Chengqian, he didn't want to expose himself either.
He invited Li Chengqian to race a horse, and Li Chengqian's horse was drugged. Whether it was him or not, it will be blamed on him.
Han Wen said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this medicine is not poison. It will only make the horse excited and run as hard as possible. It is impossible to control it. However, no abnormality can be found after checking. At that time, others will think that the horse is frightened and crazy."
