"Tell me the reason?" After Li Shimin was silent for a long time, he looked at Li Zhen with cold eyes and asked coldly. Although he didn't explain clearly, the meaning behind his words was clearly that he was asking whether Li Zhen would investigate.
The root cause of the case.
Reason? Damn it, what a bullshit reason, old man, you always really want to push us into the fire pit, don’t you? Although Li Zhen had already thought of a reason not to go, but being asked like this by the old man, she felt unhappy.
When it got to the extreme, fortunately, Li Zhencheng was deep in the palace and did not reveal anything. He just said calmly: "To inform my father, I am the minister of the Ministry of War and the person who uncovered the case. If I were to investigate the case, I am afraid that
It is not in line with the system. Secondly, I have no experience in judging cases. If I make a mistake in judging a case, I may lose the dignity of the court. I would like to ask my father for his clear understanding of this feeling."
Although what Li Zhen said is true, in fact it is full of shirk. Without him, not to mention that Li Zhen has not yet taken office. Even if she takes office, it is Li Shimin's decision whether to investigate the case or not.
It was just a matter of fact, but Li Zhen was good at talking, and he pulled out a long string of words with a snort, which made Li Shimin sneer again and again. However, seeing that Li Zhen really didn’t want to go, Li Shimin couldn’t force him, so he just asked with a stern face: “Then who should I go?
To investigate the case?"
Who's going? Anyway, I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can just go by himself. What should I do? Li Zhen's heart is filled with disgust, but the old man is right in front of her. There is no room for him to do anything. He knows this problem.
It was difficult to answer, but I had to answer. I had no choice but to answer quickly: "Returning to my father, I have never studied the case and do not dare to speculate on it."
"That's all, let's go back and listen to the decree." Although Li Shimin had already known Li Zhen's ability to evade, but now he saw it again, he was choked, but there was nothing he could do to get rid of Li Zhen.
He pulled down his sleeves and issued an order to expel guests.
Come on, the old man is angry, why don't we run away quickly? Li Zhen was naturally very happy to be able to escape such troublesome things, but her face was very dull, without any trace of pleasure at all.
He quickly kowtowed and left.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter can't be solved. I'm afraid there are still more tricks behind it. If you are not careful, you may cause trouble." After listening to Li Zhen's introduction, Nalong did not relax like Li Zhen and sighed.
road.
"Huh?" Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked: "Sir, what you mean is..."
"Your Highness, it is easy to uncover such a major case, but it is not so simple to end it. Let's not talk about who took away those weapons, but what will happen if so many weapons are in the hands of interested people? Your Majesty, this is
It was already a restless situation, and the prince's excuse was easy. However, he was afraid of leaving an impression on the emperor that he was afraid of trouble, but it was not a good thing. Well, if someone's predictions were correct, the prince had not actually escaped from this matter.
Come here, I'm afraid I'll be busy next time." Nalong shook his head gently and said with a hint of worry.
What? You haven't escaped yet? No way? Li Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard it. He frowned and thought about it for a while, then he understood the truth. His heart suddenly tightened, and without him, he hurriedly shied away.
, but forgot the root of the matter - the case was uncovered by Li Zhen. Even if Li Zhen was not sent to investigate the case, a co-investigation task would definitely not be escaped. This is still a small matter. The key is that these weapons arrive
Who took it? If the prince just wanted to rectify himself, that is possible. However, with the courage of the prince, he may not dare to take away so many weapons. This is not three or five hundred, but three or five.
Qian, besides, even if the prince has the courage, he may not have the ability. In other words, in addition to the prince, there must be a black hand behind it, but I don’t know who the black hand is.
"There is something fishy here." Li Zhen bit her lip and said, "Sir, don't you think that the information obtained by the 'Rising Sun' is a little too easy. I suspect that it is not only a thief from the arsenal, but also a thief from the 'Rising Sun'
I'm afraid there are some thieves here too."
Nalong had just taken over "Rising Sun" and was not very familiar with the inside story. Hearing Li Zhen speak so firmly at this time, he took it for granted. He thought about it and said: "With such a large quantity coming out of the warehouse, it is impossible without the cooperation of insiders."
It's impossible. Well, according to what the prince said, the arsenal was just inventoried at the end of last year. It's impossible that such a huge shortfall cannot be accounted for. In other words, a large number of weapons must have been lost within these ten days. If it is true,
In this way, this case may not be difficult to investigate. As for the family thief in 'Rising Sun', it can be used. Your Majesty, is this... possible?"
After Li Zhen frowned and thought for a while, she laughed at herself and said: "Forget it, this matter will be done according to Sir's wish. Before the imperial edict arrives, I will not move. Oh, by the way, Sir today
Just go and visit Mo Li, how is the situation?"
Nalong shook his head and said, "I have seen him, but I can't hold him back. Maybe I can persuade him if I go and see him myself."
Hehe, he really has a lot of airs. Anyway, I’ll wait until I’m free one day and go for a trip to see if this kid is really as magical as Nalong said. Li Zhen saw Nalong looking depressed.
He looked a little funny. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's all. Let's discuss this later. It's getting late. You should go to bed early. You have to be busy these days." As soon as he finished speaking, he said fiercely.
He stretched out his body and went straight to the backyard.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Just as Li Zhen was discussing with Nalong, a man in black hurriedly walked along the wall of the palace to the entrance of the East Palace. He flashed a small silver medal in his hand and whispered to the guard.
The guards of the East Palace at the door chatted for a while, hurriedly walked into the East Palace, and ran all the way into the Mingde Hall. At this moment, the Mingde Hall was brightly lit, and the prince Li Chengqian sat on it with a dark face. Xiao Jun and Hou Junji
, Feng Shijin and other close friends of the prince were all present. Everyone looked solemn and in a daze, waiting silently for the news to arrive.
"Shi Zheng, you are back now, how is the situation?" As soon as Li Chengqian saw the man in black walking in, he sat up straight and asked anxiously.
This man in black is named Zhang Shizheng, and he is one of the most outstanding martial arts soldiers among Li Chengqian's soldiers. He is very skilled in light kung fu, flying over walls and walking on flat ground. As soon as the prince received the news that Li Zhen sealed off the arsenal and merged it into the Palace Palace, he immediately
He sent this person out and secretly sneaked into the arsenal to get information.
Zhang Shizheng's tall and thin figure just flickered, and he knelt down in front of the palace. He respectfully replied: "Your Highness, I have met someone. After taking stock today, a total of two thousand horizontal knives and long spears were lost."
Fifteen hundred bows, five hundred bows, more than ten thousand arrows, nearly two thousand sets of armor, two chariots, and ten ladders."
"What? How is this possible?" The prince jumped up in a hurry, pointed at Xiao Jun and said: "Xiao Xueshi, didn't you agree to only take two hundred pairs of armors? How could such a huge number be produced?
,This, what on earth is going on?”
The idea came from Xiao Jun, but the matter was not done by him. Now he looked at the prince in a hurry. Even though Xiao Jun had always been calm, at this time, he couldn't help but get a little confused. He glanced at the prince, but he was worried.
After swallowing his saliva, he said with some hesitation: "Your Highness, He Qian Chengji is in charge of this matter. I really don't know about it. Why don't Your Highness ask He Qian Chengji and get the clues."
He Qian Chengji, a native of Xianbei, was born in the first year of Wude. Xiang was known for his bravery. He was one of the three masters under Li Chengqian, ranking second only to Zhang Shizheng. He was also in the palace at this moment. When he heard Xiao Jun mentioning himself, he hurriedly came out of the queue.
: "Your Highness, I have indeed taken only two hundred pairs of armors. I have reported this to Your Highness, and Mr. Hou also knows it. Now these armors are still in Banyue Garden. They are neither missing nor too much.
The warriors below are watching over us and there will be no mistakes."
"Mr. Hou, look at this..." Some of the prince's disciples looked at Hou Junji who was always sitting upright in panic, and asked tentatively.
Hou Junji raised his white eyebrows and said calmly: "Your Highness, I just asked someone to pass the message and was not involved in this matter. I don't know what is fishy here. If it wasn't for the King of Yue.
The ghost is someone else’s fault, but for Your Highness, this is not the time to find out the truth. The most important thing is not to leave any clues or people behind, otherwise..."
Although Hou Junji's words were vague, the meaning was very clear, which was to imply that Li Chengqian should silence him immediately and eradicate all the unreliable people. Li Chengqian was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of Hou Junji's words and briefly explained them.
He groaned, with a trace of ruthlessness on his face, and gritted his teeth and said: "Shizheng, Chengji, you two will work hard tonight, you must..." Li Chengqian stopped here and just made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Zhang Shizheng and He Qian Chengji did not refuse, but knelt down, kowtowed, and hurriedly led the people out of the hall...
The night is getting late, everything is quiet, a crescent moon hangs slanting in the sky, spreading the cold moonlight to the land behind the snow. The arsenal, which was originally located on the outskirts of Beijing, is even more deserted at this time, except for more than a hundred people.
In addition to the outposts still patrolling around the warehouse, not to mention the detained Kudins, even the Yulin officers and soldiers who came to block the arsenal on orders had already fallen asleep at this time. Silence was the theme at this time, but Northwest
A low bark from the corner broke the tranquility. A group of Yulin Army soldiers on patrol, under the command of team leader Zhang Xiao, walked towards the place where the sound came from. They looked around, but found no movement.
, let alone wild dogs, not even a single hair on the dog was seen.
"Damn it, I still want to stew a dog to stay up all night. Grandma is such a fool, where did she go to die?" The expected stewed dog meat disappeared, Zhang Xiao cursed angrily, waved his hand and said:
"Let's go..." Before he could finish his words, a sudden change occurred - several black shadows flashed out from the darkness, and the sword in his hand drew a line of deathly light under the moonlight.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Zhang Xiao opened his mouth desperately, trying to sound the alarm of the enemy attack. Unfortunately, his mouth was opened, but when the words came out, it was just a low hiss. Without him, Zhang Xiao opened his mouth at this moment.
Xiao's throat already had a "big mouth" that kept bleeding. Not only Zhang Xiao, but also his group of ten brothers suffered the same fate.
After those men in black killed the group of Yulin troops, they did not stop there. Instead, they saw the figures flashing across the hundreds of feet of open space in front of the library, and flew up the wall one after another.
Disappeared into the shadow of the reservoir area...dd
