As soon as Li Zhen said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. Liu Dequan jumped up like an old cat whose tail was stepped on and shouted that he was wronged. Wang Tai was also dumbfounded and didn't know what to do for a while.
Of course, it was not that no one saw Li Zhen's intention. Xiao Jun, who followed the prince and hid in the city gate tower to see what happened, roughly guessed Li Zhen's plan.
Xiao Jun, a native of Jiangdu, came from the Liang royal family in the Southern Dynasty. He was twenty-three years old. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was a member of Zhongshushe. Later, he entered the Hongwen Hall as a bachelor. Because the Hongwen Hall was in the East Palace, he met the prince by chance and was appreciated.
As a confidant of the prince, he is very wise and resourceful, but his conduct is really not that good. The prince's current behavior has a lot to do with this person's instigation.
"No, Your Highness, you have to come forward immediately, otherwise things will be difficult if the eunuch leader returns to the palace first." When Xiao Jun saw Wang Tai searching Liu Dequan, Xiao Jun frowned and said hurriedly.
"Ah?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, but still didn't realize what was going on. Xiao Jun, however, didn't bother to explain. He waved his hand and said, "Come here, help His Highness go down to the city. I'll talk as we walk." As soon as he finished speaking.
, several East Palace guards immediately rushed forward, followed the prince down the city gate tower, and rushed towards the chaotic city gate.
Although Wang Tai looks tall and thick, his hands and feet are very nimble. When he searched him, he looked so neat that he was not Brother Chu at first glance. He searched Liu Dequan who was screaming and screaming. What?
Handkerchiefs, loose money and other odds and ends were all found, which made Liu Dequan burst into tears. Of course, there would be no stolen items.
Li Zhen watched Wang Tai's body search with a cold face. After Wang Tai's search was completed, Li Zhen showed a strange smile and said lightly: "General Wang, you have searched carefully. There are so many things on Eunuch Liu."
Is there anything stolen?”
Wang Tai didn't understand what Li Zhen's intention was, but he didn't dare to lie in front of everyone, so he could only clasp his fists in embarrassment and said: "As I said to the prince, the final general has not yet appeared."
"Very good!" Li Zhen laughed, walked up to Liu Dequan who felt he had lost face and was crying to himself, and said gently: "Mr. Liu, I have wronged you. If you don't ask them to search, how can you prove it?
There are many things that offend me about my innocence. Let me, the Queen, take revenge and ask Eunuch Liu to go to the palace immediately to see the Holy One. He will truthfully report the matters in this place to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to punish him. Is that okay?"
Although Liu Dequan was not very courageous, perhaps it was not a good idea to stand out in such a dark place like the palace. He immediately understood Li Zhen's intentions. He rolled his eyes and immediately stopped crying and said loudly: "
I obey your orders." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to rush to the palace. Although Wang Tai who was standing aside did not understand the mystery, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He hurried forward and blocked Liu Dequan's way.
He didn't speak, he just stood there with a cold face and didn't move.
Damn you dog slave! Li Zhen cursed secretly, looked at Wang Tai with a sneer and said: "What does General Wang mean by this? Is he planning to kill officials and seize the banner?"
Li Zhen's question was so poisonous that Wang Taijin had to speak even though he didn't want to answer: "The general will not dare."
"Hey, I don't dare! Has General Wang ever found anything stolen from Eunuch Liu?" Li Zhen asked pressingly.
"No, but..." Wang Tai agreed hesitantly. Li Zhen didn't wait for him to finish his words and said, "Since he didn't, then Eunuch Liu is not suspected of stealing. What reason did General Wang have to stop Eunuch Liu?"
On business?"
Wang Tai was speechless and speechless, so he had no choice but to step aside and let him out. Seeing that the plan was successful, Li Zhen had a smile on her face, but just when Liu Dequan was about to start, the prince's tired expression
A voice emerged from behind the crowd: "Xiao Ba'er, you are so majestic."
***Boss, you didn’t come earlier, you didn’t come later, you just showed up at this time, damn it! As soon as Li Zhen heard the prince’s voice, her heart sank, knowing that this matter might not be rectified, but in her heart
He still hadn't decided whether he was going to die or not, so he had no choice but to turn around, take a few hurried steps, and greet the prince with a smile: "My brother, I have met the prince's brother."
Li Chengqian came in a hurry, his face turned red, and he was breathing heavily. Seeing that things were still under control, he felt very happy. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked sideways at Li Zhen and said: "
Xiao Ba'er, what's going on, you dare not obey my orders?"
For your size!***, it seems that this bitch is really planning to use his power to overwhelm others, damn, what a bastard! Li Zhen was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and slap the lame prince.
But, just thinking about it, let alone the position of the prince, Li Zhen, a commoner prince, cannot easily contradict him. Besides, there are East Palace guards around at this time, and those glaring sword fights are not a vegetarian.
, had no choice but to suppress the anger in her heart, Li Zhen pretended to be confused and asked: "Brother Prince, what are you talking about? I don't know what Brother Prince has ordered, please give me your instructions."
It didn't matter that Li Zhen was pretending to be stupid, but it made Li Chengqian choke up. After staring at Li Zhen angrily for a while, he said with a sullen face: "All the things stolen by me today are gifts from the emperor. It is not a trivial matter.
If there is nothing wrong with Xiao Ba, are you still afraid that the search will fail?"
Hey, kid, we've been waiting for your words! As the prince finished speaking, Li Zhen already understood that she was destined to have a fight with the prince today, so she simply put her heart aside, put away her smile, and kept her body stern.
Standing straight, he looked at Li Chengqian coldly and said, "Brother Prince, if you really want to search for your younger brother, you can just bring me the imperial edict."
"You..." Li Chengqian was so angry after being contradicted by Li Zhen that he jumped on his feet and pointed at Li Zhen and said: "You are so brave. Do you want to rebel? Come on, let me search for you!"
"The Emperor's token is here. Who dares to do anything rashly!" Li Zhen yelled unceremoniously and raised the jade pendant given by the old man high above his head.
"Take it down, take it all down!" Li Chengqian roared furiously: "If something happens, I will bear the responsibility!" The guard of the East Palace was still hesitating at first, but when he heard what the prince said, he immediately responded to the order and looked around.
As soon as he made a move, he would pounce towards Li Zhen and his group.
Take it, take it, hey, as long as your men in the East Palace really dare to take action in front of the old man's token, you will be guilty of exceeding the limit. Even if it breaks the law, I can still be justified! Li Zhen has no fear on his face.
He looked at the East Palace guard who was about to rush in front of him without even frowning. At this tense moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute!"
