Chapter 108 Between trade-offs

The so-called gaining power is naturally something that can be achieved. In the current situation, for Li Zhen, there are really too many things that can be used. It is not impossible to even catch the prince and the king of Wu in one fell swoop. Faced with such temptations

, even if Li Zhen is a calm person, he still can't help but feel excited, and then he will ask about the topic of gaining power. Naturally, Mo and others know this, but they should not do it.

But it's still worth debating.

After some contemplation, Nalong took the lead and said: "Your Highness, I think it is better to be still than to move. I will sit back and wait for him to get better. After King Wu falls, it would be good for him to strike back again."

Uh-huh, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows? Haha, that's right! When Li Zhen heard this, she was immediately moved, smiled and said, "That's right, then that's settled."

"Inappropriate." Li Li sneered and said: "There may be some omissions in this discussion. Firstly, even if there is a counterattack, the person who comes forward should not be His Highness. Secondly, what the prince does may not be successful.

I’m afraid that we may not be able to defeat the King of Wu, unless..."

"Well, unless it's something serious?" Seeing that Li Zhen stopped talking after he said this, Li Zhen asked anxiously.

"Unless the prince can help the prince cover up the loopholes." Li Li said with a smile.

Damn, this is not going to be easy. It's not impossible for me to help the prince, but I'm afraid it's impossible to hide it from the third child. If I really offend the third child to death, once the third child doesn't die, what fun will it be?

Isn’t that a big deal? Besides, now that we have all the evidence in our hands, if we want to fake the hand with others, I’m afraid we’ll have to spend a lot of effort. Damn it, after all, only the fourth guy can do that.

How to lure the Fourth Brother into taking the bait? Li Zhen had a headache thinking about it, but still couldn’t come up with an accurate idea. She frowned and said, “If this is really going to be the case, then the only way to do it is to find the Fourth Brother.

It’s just that the fourth boy may not be obedient. If I accidentally bite him, it’s not a big deal. What can I do?”

Li Tai is not a fool, and it is indeed not easy to lure him into taking the bait. Naturally, Li Tai knows this very well. When he heard Li Zhen ask, he couldn't help but frowned, and said after a moment: "Your Highness

Although what he said is reasonable, I think the King of Wei is in a hurry to enter the East Palace now, so it is inevitable to take the bait. He just needs to plan well, otherwise...what better?"

After Li Zhen pondered silently for a long time, she took a long breath and said, "Well, in that case, I will just wait and see how the fourth child behaves."

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. While Li Zhen was plotting against Li Tai, Li Tai was also busy planning to give Li Zhen some color.

"Uncle, Xiaoba had a falling out with the eldest grandson's family today because of a woman. He really is a bit reckless. Hey, there is a good show this time. How about I give him more fuel?"

In the spacious study room, Wei Wang Li Tai was tapping proudly.

"Well, it works." Su Xu nodded and said: "Now is an opportunity. It is better than letting the King of Yue reconcile with the Changsun family. I just don't know how His Highness plans to proceed?"

"Uncle, I have received the news that Xiaoba has sent a lot of people to protect the girl. I plan to send some people to serve Haosheng as a way of doing my best for Xiaoba. Is this possible?" Li

Tai chuckled. His smile looked like a little fox trying to steal a chicken.

"I think it's possible." Su Xu thought about it secretly and said calmly: "You don't have to insist on success, but you just want to ensure that you don't lose control and manpower. Are you sure of it, Your Highness?"

"Hey, it should be fine. I have long wanted to find out Xiaoba's background. It's a good idea to do this at the same time, so as not to be caught off guard in the future, but it will also be a troublesome thing." Li Tai said confidently, and then paused. After a while, he continued: "Uncle, the boss is shouting that the Arsenal case has been solved. Why do I always feel that something is wrong? How can I solve the case with Du He's piece of information? It was solved in three days. This It's really strange. Furthermore, there is no village in front of Nianzhuang and no store in the back. Although it is convenient for bandits to hide, the terrain there is flat and there is no danger to defend. What kind of stupid thieves would choose that place? Damn it, there must be something fishy here!"

"What His Highness said is that there is something fishy here, and I thought His Highness the King of Yue was the one who knew the truth!" Su Xu added without any pause.

"Xiao Ba? How could that happen?" Li Tai frowned and looked at Su Xu in confusion, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Su Xu replied coldly: "Why not? Your Highness, Your Highness, the King of Yue, is so anxious to leave. He even couldn't wait to elect Shi Kui and rushed back to the mansion. There must be something interesting here!"

"Uncle, Xiaoba is probably worried because he has offended the eldest grandson family. Maybe he knows about the prince's activities?" Li Tai hesitated and asked tentatively.

"Otherwise." Su Xu shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue always makes decisions before making any decisions. Since he dared to kill his wife from the eldest grandson family this time, he must have already calculated the outcome and will not be anxious about it. According to this Presumably, what I am worried about is the matter of crushing the village. Well, I don’t know how much the King of Yue knows. If I am not wrong in my estimation, I am afraid this case is not over yet!"

"My uncle means that Xiaoba will take action against the prince because of this?" Li Taixi asked with a look of expression.

Su Xu shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, but what someone said about the case being unfinished is that the prince is afraid of making a big fuss out of this case."

"Article?" Li Tai muttered. After thinking about it, he still couldn't see the strangeness in it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I really don't see what else to do here."

Su Xu glanced at Li Tai with dissatisfaction, sighed and said: "Your Highness, think about it, is there any thief in the world who dares to attack the arsenal? Doesn't this mean there is fraud involved? Only those who can do this are It's just the dignitaries in the court. Now that the whole village has been destroyed, there is no one left alive. What if the seals or letters of the princes happen to be found at the scene?"

"This..." When Li Tai heard this, he was stunned. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, what you mean is that this is a game. Who does the prince want to deal with?" ?”

"Although the game is a game, it is not necessarily directed at your Highness. Well, it is not necessarily directed at the King of Yue. If I had predicted it correctly, this game should most likely be directed at the King of Wu. Come on, the prince is trying to pick a soft persimmon before pinching it!" Su Xu said with emotion.

"Huh." When he heard that this game was not directed at him, Li Tai let out a big sigh of relief. He finally felt relieved and laughed at himself and said: "The prince's fellow is only so brave. He is just a man." Just bully the third child for a while. Hey, it would be great if he goes on to tease Xiaoba. With Xiaoba’s unwillingness to suffer, he might start a fight, and then there will be something fun to watch. Oh, by the way, uncle, How much does Xiaoba know?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know exactly what the King of Yue knows, but I think that the King of Yue must have the crown prince's weak point. Well, Your Highness might as well get closer to the King of Yue, maybe we can find out what's going on.

Not sure." Su Xu said with some uncertainty.

"Oh, that's it. I have just become Xiaoba's great matchmaker. I have to go to the etiquette department and have a chat with Xiaoba. Maybe I can get some information.

Come." Li Tai laughed and was about to leave. Su Xu warned him uneasily: "Your Highness, the capital has been troubled from now on, so it is better to be cautious!"

"I know." Li Tai said nonchalantly and strode out of the study. Su Xu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the gloomy sky, sighed, and murmured: "Change."

The sky is going to change!"

At that moment, the ground of Nianzhuang after the disaster was in a mess. Hundreds of Chen Heng's corpses turned the martial arts field in the center of Zhuangzi into a hell on earth. More than a hundred officers and soldiers from the East Palace were on guard around the martial arts field, and more

The officers and soldiers accompanied the Ministry of Justice. The officials sent by the Ministry of War were busy around, either counting the various weapons missing from the arsenal, or running around in various households searching for various suspicious things.

The village was stirred up with smoke and dust and became a mess.

Yang Tian, ​​the right-hand commander of the East Palace, stood beside Li Chenxing, the Minister of Justice, with an expressionless face, watching everything in the scene indifferently, without saying anything, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

The chill on his face made Li Chenxing, who was standing next to him, feel uncomfortable all over. However, due to the restrictions of his errand, he couldn't stay away. He was very upset. He wished that the search could be ended quickly, so that he could return before it gets dark.

City, but unfortunately the search had just started not long ago, so it would be difficult for Li Chenxing's wish to come true.

"Report!" A soldier from the East Palace Command hurriedly rushed out of the village, kneeled on one knee and said: "General Yang, there is a secret compartment in a big room in the village, and there are strange things hidden inside. The subordinates dare not

If you move without permission, please invite General Yang and Li Shilang to come and take a look."

"Oh?" Yang Tian's tense face suddenly twitched, and he turned to look at Li Chenxing and said: "Li Shilang, I'll go see what's weird right now?"

Li Chenxing was standing uncomfortably, but he wanted to take this opportunity to move around, so he waved his sleeves and said, "General Yang, please." Yang Tian strode straight to the village without even looking at Li Chenxing.

As he left, Li Chenxing's expression changed, but he didn't dare to say anything. He laughed at himself and followed him into the village.

This is a large house, quite large in area. The courtyard with three entrances is quite spacious, but it is very dilapidated. The various decorations inside are vaguely in the style of the Turks. A group of soldiers from the East Palace led the mansion.

The officials from the Ministry of Justice surrounded the main room, but no one entered the room. As soon as Yang Tian and Li Chenxing arrived, everyone made way for a passage, and one of the Mi Ge's men appeared.

The sergeant led the way, and within a few steps he arrived at the place where the God of Wealth was. However, he saw that the place originally dedicated to the God of Wealth had been moved away, and a dark hole was revealed behind a wall. It was vaguely visible that there was a secret room inside.

There were not many items, only two large iron boxes whose lids had been opened. They were stained with rust and it was hard to tell how old they were.

Yang Tian paused at the door of the secret room and shouted coldly: "Torches!" Several officers and soldiers behind him hurriedly lit the prepared torches and rushed into the secret room. However, they saw the dazzling golden light and the two large iron boxes.

It was filled with jewelry, and there was a small jewelry box among them. It was locked and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Yang Tian didn't even look at the jewelry. He took the jewelry box into his hand, shook it, and frowned. He tried to open the lid of the box, but found that it couldn't be opened at all. He immediately sneered and raised his hand.

The jewelry box hit the wall and immediately broke in half, and several half-folded letters rolled out.

Li Chenxing leaned over and picked up a letter that had fallen at his feet. He looked at it under the light of a torch and his expression suddenly changed. He waved his hand and said: "No one is allowed to leave this place. I want to enter immediately."

Palace Saint!" As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly picked up all the letters on the ground, took the broken jewelry box in half, and wrapped it in his official robe, ignoring the surprised expressions of Yang Tian and other officers and soldiers.

, hurried out of Nianzhuang, got on the sedan, and rushed to Chang'an City... dd
