165, Soldier Seed
Did you say hello to the master? He is now a prisoner of the master. Li Tai is still counting on him to get back that batch of agarwood!
"Don't rush to convict just yet! He is related to the whereabouts of the king's batch of agarwood. Li Tai raised his eyebrows and said lightly.
Director Xiao's face turned pale when he heard this, he was the mastermind behind the scenes! The gold from the agarwood is still in his room! If he is discovered, he will not be able to tell even if he has ten mouths!
What's more, he and Li Tai still have old grudges, if you want Li Tai to know about this, you have to kill him!
Looking at his uncle who was talking to Li Tai not far away, Director Xiao, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to take him as his last hope and cast a look of help.
At this time, Xiao Xun was arguing with Li Tai about what to do with Chen Lingshi, but he couldn't wait to cut him into eighteen pieces immediately and feed them to the dogs, and then cut the wild seed and send it to the palace to make him die.
But Li Tai's little hairy boy had to protect him, saying that if he didn't find the batch, he wouldn't let him be killed, and he would take him away, didn't it embarrass him?
Just when Xiao Xun was sulking, he felt that he was being watched, so he looked there, only to see his nephew give him a look, he didn't understand what it meant at first, but when he saw his nephew's anxious look, he was suddenly shocked, didn't he also participate in it?
Yesterday, my nephew said that there was a surprise for him, and he didn't think so at the time, but now that he thinks about it, this is not what he said, right?
Just when Xiao Xun was secretly anxious, Li Tai, who had long been impatient on the side, lowered his head to the front, and Chen Lingshi, who had a dead face, asked: "This king doesn't believe that you alone can steal the sky and change the day, and smuggle out that batch of agarwood gods to sell without knowing it, let's say!" Who else is behind you? If you confess, the king will not only be the master to save you from death, but he will also be able to send someone to protect you from retaliation. ”
When Chen Lingshi heard that Li Taineng had sent someone to protect him, his eyes quickly regained a trace of clarity, and he no longer had the same vitality as before, just like a traveler who was dying of thirst suddenly encountered an oasis in the desert.
He thought that he was dead, Xiao Xun's two uncles and nephews knew that such an ugly thing had happened, they would definitely not let him go, and they would kill him, but now Li Tai is willing to protect him, which is no less than a glimmer of life for him, so he is naturally busy telling the mastermind, anyway, he and Xiao Xun have turned against each other, and there is not much difference whether they say it or not.
But when Chen Lingshi was about to speak, Xiao Xun, who was angry and listened to Li Tai's meaningful words, suddenly took the lead.
I saw him stand up and accuse Li Tai with a dissatisfied face: "Your Highness, the previous subordinate was a little tolerant of you because you were the bitter master, and endured it again and again, but this does not mean that you can be unscrupulous and behave in this nonsense!" The Criminal Department has its own set of regulations, how can you interfere so arbitrarily, doesn't this treat the Criminal Department as nothing? ”
Then looking at Li Tai's annoyed face, although Xiao Xun was a little flustered, for the sake of his nephew's safety, he still continued: "If His Highness wants to continue to stay, you can, but please don't hinder the Criminal Department's handling of the case."
Otherwise, the lower official would have no choice but to order someone to ask His Highness to leave!"
Li Tai was very unhappy that Xiao Xun dared to threaten him, and after coming to Datang for a few days, there were few people who dared to threaten him.
But when he thought about it, didn't he just grovel and stand there for more than an hour waiting for him without complaint? Why do you suddenly say that change just changes? Isn't he a thief with a weak heart, and he is also involved in this matter?
That makes sense! This is a thousand taels of gold agarwood! Guang Chen Lingshi, does that little official have the ability not to alarm anyone and take him away?
Even if you really have the ability to take it away, you don't have the ability to bulk it! It's not a bargain!! This is agarwood! The average person simply can't afford to use it, let alone buy it!
The only ones who can buy are high-ranking officials and nobles, and can they be contacted by Chen Lingshi and a small official? Not to mention being able to transport agarwood out of customs in one day!
But Xiao Xun's two uncles and nephews are completely different, they not only have the ability to commit crimes, but also have the motive to commit crimes. Needless to say, the motive for the crime is nothing but greed?
As for the ability to commit crimes, although they were born in the Lanling Xiao clan and are not from the Guanzhong family, they were originally a scholar clan who migrated from the north in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, and they also claimed the emperor in the south several times, saying that they have no power in the north, does anyone believe it?
What's more, the current patriarch Xiao Yu is still the prime minister of the dynasty, isn't it easy to transport some goods out of customs?
In addition, all of them believe in Buddhism, and they must be very familiar with the merchants who trade in agarwood and other spices!
Li Tai, who thinks that he has found the truth, will naturally not back down, if he really leaves like this, Xiao Xun's uncle and nephew will definitely not obediently spit out the fat that he swallowed, and the only thing he can wait for is Chen Lingshi's suicide, and his agarwood is like a stone sinking into the sea, and there will never be a day to find it back!
Li Tai asked Xiao Xun angrily: "What if this king has to meddle in the case?" ”
"Humph!" Xiao Xun snorted coldly and said, "Then Your Highness, don't blame the lower officials for being polite!" Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Wouldn't it be nice to be obedient? Do you have to make trouble with Lao Tzu? I won't put up with you!
Then he shouted, "Someone!"
The door to the front hall was opened with a "bang", and a large number of soldiers walked in quickly and orderly manner, making a series of "stampede" footsteps, roughly speaking, no less than one or two hundred.
"Are you planning to rebel?" Li Tai said angrily when he saw this.
"Your Highness has wronged the lower officials, how dare the lower officials do such a rebellious thing! His Majesty is just planning to ask His Highness to leave!!"
Looking at the soldiers he had arranged in advance, Xiao Xun's confidence increased greatly, although his words were still a little respectful, but his eyebrows and eyes were not without pride. He thought that no matter how powerful Li Tai's immortal weapon was, it would be impossible to deal with such a large number of people! This time he will definitely make the little rabbit deflated and make him lose face!
"Good! Excellent!" Li Tai sneered.
He wanted to make a fortune in silence, but he didn't plan to use another prop from last night so soon! It's just that once he uses that prop, the image he gives people will change drastically, and he will be a threat or a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he will no longer be easily fooled as a child! Even Li Yuan is afraid that he will be jealous of him, and he will always guard against him, which is not conducive to his future development!
Although the use of that Dao has all kinds of shortcomings, if Li Tai retreats this time, those big families will inevitably gain an inch and further persecute him, so he still plans to use it to make an example of chickens and monkeys, so that others will know that he is not easy to provoke, and if he provokes, he will inevitably bear the corresponding consequences!
All this is to prepare for the Xingdaofang Mall he will develop next!!
Seeing that those soldiers began to approach, Li Tai did not hesitate any longer, and took out another prop from the treasure bag that he had drawn last night, the Soldier Seed.
