Li Shimin frowned, looking at the news from the secret guards. The more he looked at it, the deeper his frown became, and his face became more ugly.
It was found out that Hou Zanjun and Yuchi Baolin encountered robbers on their way south. Although it was indeed a group of tough robbers who took action, there were many members of the Jiangnan Navy among them. Following the clues, the Fusang people could also be traced vaguely.
traces
When Fang Yiai angrily talked about what was going on in Jiangnan, she didn't take it seriously. She originally sent an imperial envoy to Jiangnan, but the reports that came back said that the problem was not serious and was just the work of disobedient gangsters and was not involved.
The local government and the army also said that although there were Fusang people among the pirates, most of them were gangsters.
This excerpt is far different from what my secret guards investigated.
Moreover, before Hou Zanjun and Yuchi Baolin were attacked, Ino Yasaburo obviously made some changes here and sent a lot of news to the outside world, which makes the connection even more suspicious.
As for the rumors that have been unpalatable recently, although they broke out after Fang Yiai was injured, the root cause was slowly spread before the garden party.
Before the garden party, the two sons of Fan Yanglu's parents planned to see the prosperity of Chang'an and join in the fun at the garden party. Unexpectedly, not long after entering Chang'an City, the two of them met Hou Luanpei. The second brother was there.
After seeing Hou Luanpei's beauty and fierceness, he eagerly stepped forward to take advantage, but in the end he was whipped by Hou Luanpei, and even the boss was beaten by Hou Luanpei.
Later, after the two young masters Lu and the young masters belonging to major aristocratic families in the capital got together, various rumors about Hou Luanpei began to spread in the capital. As for the large-scale expansion, it was in Boling
When a descendant of the Cui family went to Huanxia Courtyard, he mistook Hou Luanpei, who was passing by Huanxia Courtyard, for a girl there, and was beaten severely.
In the past two days, after the managers of the Cui and Lu families asked the Hou family for compensation and a public apology for the beatings of the three people but were rejected, rumors were flying all over the sky.
As for Fang Yiai, she was just a small fish in the pond who was affected by the conflict with Hou Luanpei.
Li Shimin rubbed his brows, motioned to Li Anyang to call Zhao Yi in, and then went to the East Palace to call Li Chengqian over.
"Continue to send people to secretly investigate the affairs in Jiangnan." Li Shimin told Zhao Yi expressionlessly, "By the way, send a few good men to escort Hou Zanjun and Yuchi Baolin to Jiangnan safely. It's best to find a way to join them in the water."
Army, please check for me how corrupt the Navy Army is."
"It's the emperor." Zhao Yi responded.
"Is there any news from Luoyang?" Li Shimin asked.
"The news came this morning that all the people who were targeted earlier were dispatched, and most of the people were scattered on the road to Jiangnan and Chang'an." Zhao Yi said with his hand.
"Do you know why?" Li Shimin asked.
"It is said that some Jianghu people broke in accidentally. Our people have been investigating, but they have never been able to confirm that the World Alliance is in a secret hall in Luoyang. It seems that some people who were imprisoned there were rescued during the conflict."
Zhao Yi cupped his hands and said.
"Oh? Is there any news about Sun Yunniang and Feng Chenggang that you were asked to investigate before?" Li Shimin asked.
"I haven't found it yet." Zhao Yi shook his head and said. "But I did find the head of Qi's Trading Company, the largest timber trading house in Quanzhou, who disappeared inexplicably the year before last."
"The head of the Qi family disappeared inexplicably, but within a year, all the property of the Qi family was transferred to the Li family in Longxi, right?" Li Shimin said coldly.
"Although the head of the Qi family has been tortured to a state of disgrace, he still speaks clearly. According to what he said, it was indeed the Li family of Longxi who wanted to interfere in the lumber market in Jiangnan, and that's why they attacked him," Zhao Yi said,
"As for why he hasn't been killed directly in the past two years, it's because the seventh master of the Li family, who is in charge of the lumber business, in order to retaliate against Qi Linhai, accidentally robbed a brothel girl he was interested in. When he had time, he performed a live erotica in front of Qi Linhai.
Bullying Qi Linhai’s two daughters and that concubine.”
"Beast" Li Shimin had a dark face, slapped the desk, and stood up with a murderous look.
With a long and feeble sigh, Li Shimin sat down and said to Zhao Yi, "If Qi Linhai is worthy of use, he will stay. If he is not useful, he should settle down peacefully. Continue to investigate the affairs of the World Alliance, and be careful not to expose him."
What clues are there? By the way, let’s check the identities of those Jianghu people who broke into Luoyang Hall.” After speaking, Li Shimin waved his hand to signal Zhao Yi to retreat.
After Zhao Yi exited, Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and Li Anyang's voice came from outside the door.
After calling Li Chengqian in, he asked Li Anyang to guard outside the door.
Looking at Li Chengqian's haggard face, Li Shimin felt angry and heartbroken, but even more angry at him. A majestic man, the crown prince of a country, was hurt for an unworthy woman. This also made Li Shimin more determined.
I believe that it is absolutely wise to prevent Hou Luanpei from marrying into the East Palace.
In anger, Li Shimin picked up a few pages on the desk about the rumor investigation and Hou Luanpei's daily behavior, threw it hard on Li Chengqian's face, and said in a bad tone, "Just take a look for yourself."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and grabbed a few pages that were hit on his face. He quickly glanced at Li Shimin's face, bent down to pick up the two papers that fell on the ground, and looked through them in general.
The rumors recorded above had nothing to do with Fang Yiai, and Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the definite evidence, it was indeed Hou Luanpei who was so angry with Fang Yiai that he wanted to kill Fang Yiai.
Pei's arrogant behavior was completely different from the vitality and understanding shown in front of him, which made Li Chengqian's face gradually darken. The rumor that Hou Luanpei was trained by Hou Junji to confuse him also disappeared in an instant.
Appeared unexpectedly.
"I heard that on the day Fang Yiai returned to Beijing after being injured, you went to Fang's house not only to visit Fang Yiai, but also to defend someone in front of Fang Yiai. Is this true?" Li Shimin asked without any emotion.
"My son, I know I was wrong, please punish me." Li Chengqian knelt down excitedly and said with regret.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" Li Shimin said with incomprehensible joy and anger.
"My son, you should not defend others before the matter is clear." Li Chengqian said with sincerity and fear.
"Where else?" Li Shimin continued to ask.
"My son, I should not be disrespectful to my son by not being considerate of Fang Yi's mental illness. Instead, he threw up his sleeves and left the house angrily in front of Mr. Fang." Li Chengqian continued.
"Is there any more?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian kneeling on the ground displeased and asked with a frown.
"My son..." After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian couldn't remember it anymore, and then he said carefully, "My son, I don't know, please let me know for sure."
"I don't know? I think you know it very well," Li Shimin said coldly.
"For a woman who doesn't know the seriousness of the case, you already guessed that she was responsible before the case was determined. Instead of scolding her, just let her bow her head and admit her mistake. In order to save her, you went to Fang Yiai to stand in front of her.
She covers you, good"
"For a woman, you ignored the overall interests of the court and wantonly hurt my humerus. You are simply ignorant. You can guess who it is by relying on clues. How could Fang Xuanling, who has been to the scene, not guess it? What's more, the horseshoe comes from Fang.
"The Hand of Bereavement"
"You actually blatantly cover up the facts for a woman, an unworthy woman. You are not only trying to shame Fang's family in a big way, but you are also trying to embarrass me." The more Li Shimin spoke, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but go up
He kicked Li Chengqian on the shoulder.
After Li Chengqian knelt down again, he just lowered his head and said, "Father, please calm down. I know I was wrong. Please calm down, father."
Li Shimin scolded Li Chengqian for half an hour in the Tai Chi Hall. Li Anyang was worried that Li Chengqian might be in trouble again, so he invited Queen Changsun. Only then did Li Shimin stop scolding Li Chengqian and ordered Li Chengqian to continue to return to the East Palace to reflect.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel disappointed when he thought of what Li Chengqian had done recently. He couldn't help but think of Li Tailai again who could always make him happy.
word, and then thinking about Li Tai's indecent little actions in private, Li Shimin couldn't help but shook his head.
Li Ke was better, he was well-behaved, sensible, didn't cause trouble, and was well-founded in doing things. But when he thought of Li Ke's biological mother, Concubine Yang, Li Shimin's brows frowned in displeasure.
Li Shimin also knew in his heart that the reason why Concubine Yang married him was entirely because he wanted to use the power of the Li family to consolidate the Sui Dynasty. The reason why his father asked her to marry him was also because he was only the second son.
, even if the father ascends the throne, there is still an elder brother who can be established as the prince, so that children with the blood of the Yang family will not be allowed to touch the throne.
Who would have imagined that things in the world are unpredictable, but she was the one who ascended the throne in the end. Concubine Yang's thoughts seemed to have become more active as she ascended the throne.
Holding the hand of Queen Changsun, Li Shimin followed Queen Changsun's lead and came to Lizheng Hall with confused thoughts. At the entrance of the main hall of Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin paused and ordered Li Anyang beside him, "Tell the prince
"Sound, the day after tomorrow morning, Fang Yiai will enter the palace with Kong Yingda and listen to Kong Yingda's lectures with the prince. What to do then will be decided by the prince himself."
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Empress Changsun quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After being scolded, Li Chengqian felt a little depressed and locked himself in the room, not allowing anyone to serve him. He didn't open the door until Li Anyang came to send a message.
After listening to Li Anyang's message, Li Chengqian's reddish eyes sparkled again.
