Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhang Tan's Assassination Plan
"Oh?"
Li Shimin touched his beard and thought about it, then laughed and said with a smile: "Hahaha, sure enough, Feng'er is still smart!" It's a good trick and doesn't make a self-recruitment, a beautiful plan! In this way, the thief must be uneasy in his heart! ”
After laughing, Li Shimin opened his pace and returned to the palace.
……
When he went to court the next morning, Li Shimin announced: "Everyone, Aiqing! About the theft of 100,000 gold! The Eighth Prince has proven the innocence of Chai Shao, the Duke of the State of Qiao! At the same time, the eighth prince also calculated the whereabouts of the thief! ”
"What? Eighth Prince, do you already know who the thief who stole 100,000 disaster relief gold is? ”
"The Eighth Prince, it's not a loss to the number one prodigy in the world, can he actually find a thief in such a clueless case?"
"A prodigy is a prodigy, needless to say. The eight princes are talented, and the old ministers should admire them! ”
The ministers in the audience boasted about Li Chengfeng in front of Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was naturally happy in his heart.
After all, Li Chengfeng is his son, and others praise his son for being powerful, so as Lao Tzu, he is naturally beautiful in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin coughed slightly, and looked at the Manchu civil and military ministers under the court with sharp eyes.
Li Shimin said: "Actually, I already know who the thief is from the Eighth Prince!" ”
"He is an important minister of the court, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty is not shallow!"
Li Shimin followed Li Chengfeng's method and began to make up nonsense.
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who can come to the court, is not a minister?
However, after Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly panicked.
No way? Could it be that he has really been exposed?
Could it be that the Eighth Prince and the Emperor already knew that the mastermind behind the theft of 100,000 gold was himself?
No, it can't be.
I will never leave any traces of doing things.
How could it be exposed?
Could it be that Zhang Tan, that bastard, went out by exposing my identity?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang's heart became more and more panicked.
Li Shimin continued: "In that minister, he has merit to the Tang Dynasty, so I, give him a chance to confess his guilt in person!" If he stands up and confesses his sins now, then I will punish him lightly. After all, 100,000 gold has been recovered! If a thief knows his mistakes, he will change them, and the good is great! But if he doesn't admit his guilt, if he has to find out himself, then the consequences will be very serious! ”
In Li Shimin's eyes, a trace of murderous light once again flashed.
Zhang Liang kept his head down, not daring to look directly at Li Shimin's gaze.
His legs trembled, and he almost fell to his knees.
Impossible, how could the Eighth Prince know that it was me who stole it?
I didn't leave a trace, did I?
In the end, Zhang Liang still clenched his teeth and did not stand up to confess.
Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, don't say that I won't give you a chance, go back and think about it, whether you stand up and confess your guilt yourself, or let me and the Eighth Prince find you out in person!" ”
After that, Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "Retreat!" ”
……
After retiring from the dynasty, Li Shimin continued to go to the Zhenwang Mansion to find Li Chengfeng.
And Zhang Liang returned to the Yungong Mansion in fear.
A young man in Tsing Yi came to Zhang Liang's side.
He held a fan in his hand and said gracefully: "Uncle, what did the emperor say this time?" ”
Zhang Liang frowned, a pair of scheming eyes, stared at Zhang Tan's body, and said, "The emperor said that he already knows the whereabouts of the thief!" ”
"What? This is impossible, our plan is obviously foolproof, how could the emperor know that we did that thing? ”
"Hmph, I want to ask you about this!"
Zhang Liang clenched his teeth and shouted, "Zhang Tan, did you leave any clues on the way to do things and were discovered by the Eighth Prince?" Now, the emperor has given an order, or we will personally admit the sin, if he catches us, it will not be a simple sin as cutting off the head! It is very likely that the whole door will be stolen, and it will even be stinking for 10,000 years! ”
"Why, that's going to happen?"
Zhang Tan's eyes gradually dimmed and lost his mind.
"This is impossible, I Zhang Tan has always been very rigorous, unless there is an internal ghost between us, it is impossible to leave any evidence and be discovered by the emperor!"
"Oh? So what do you mean? ”
"It is very likely that this is the emperor's fishing plan, and it is also very likely that this is the attention of the eighth prince to the emperor! Moreover, I think it is very likely that the Eighth Prince already knows that the sinner who stole 100,000 disaster relief gold is us! But because he has no evidence, he wants to use such a ploy, so that we don't confess! ”
"Shhh...... This Eighth Prince is really terrifying! ”
Zhang Liang trembled his hands and said, "Nephew, what should we do now?" Either escape from Datang, or you can only confess! Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will be doomed sooner or later! ”
Zhang Liang began to get anxious.
He even began to regret it a little.
regretted that he should not have listened to Zhang Tan's slander and stole the 100,000 disaster relief gold issued by the emperor to Fang Xuanling.
Okay now, it took less than a day to kill an eighth prince halfway, and the case was directly solved?
Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said: "Forget it, if you want to confess your guilt, let me confess my guilt, at least I will die and only one of me, the emperor will not copy my house if I take the initiative to confess my identity, right?" ”
Zhang Liang pursed his lips tightly.
However, Zhang Tan shook his head and said, "No uncle! I think that we didn't leave any evidence at the time of our business, so even if the Eighth Prince suspected that we did it, he couldn't come up with evidence, otherwise he would have confessed to us a long time ago if he had evidence! ”
Zhang Tan said: "So I dare to conclude that the emperor should not know that the real thief is us, he said that, just to let us not confess, after all, the crime of stealing 100,000 gold is not a trivial matter!" ”
"So, nephew, what do you mean?"
Zhang Liang asked.
Zhang Tan replied, "Kill the only person who knows the truth!" In this way, we can still get away with it without incriminating evidence! ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's face turned white in an instant, and he said, "No, absolutely not!" Nephew, do you know who the other party is? He is the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty! Do you dare to touch him? This is worse than the sin of stealing 100,000 gold! ”
"Hmph, why don't I dare touch him? As long as I kill the Eighth Prince unknowingly! Dare to ask, who else in this world knows the sins we have committed? Uncle, we are now grasshoppers on a rope! The case of gold theft is enough for the two of us to fall to the ground, anyway, we are dead horizontally and vertically, so it's better to be ruthless! Since the Eighth Prince wants us to take the initiative to confess? Then let's let the Eighth Prince know what it means to be in the sinister world! ”
