Chapter 296: A Hidden Killing Machine

Li Shimin said: "Don't meddle in this matter, I will investigate it, you have also worked hard, retreat first." ”

Leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Chengqian complained: "Fifth brother, in the future, you tell me in advance about things like planting food, so that I don't know what to do." ”

Li You said: "Big brother, the younger brother will definitely tell you in advance in the future, this time the incident is indeed a strange younger brother, please forgive me." ”

Li Chengqian was too late to thank him, and he didn't really blame him.

He said, "Who did you say that you burned the grain?" ”

Li You shook his head and said, "I don't know. However, eldest brother, I advise you not to investigate this matter, and you will have your own father to investigate. You just pretend you don't know anything, what to do. ”

Li Chengqian said unwillingly: "If we don't know who is harming us, how unsteady our hearts are, why don't we send someone to investigate secretly?" ”

Li You said: "Big brother, what are you bothering to do? What if you know who did it? It's better to not know. Didn't you hear your father just say that you won't let us track it down. ”

Li Chengqian said a little unconvinced: "If I knew who did it, I wouldn't be done with him!"

Li You said: "Big brother, you just listen to the advice of your younger brother." Don't look into this matter, if your father knows that you are secretly investigating this matter, this matter will become a big problem. ”

Li You's words are by no means alarmist.

If this matter was instructed by Li Tai or Li Ke. After Li Shimin secretly found out, he could deal with it calmly.

If this matter is made public, everyone will know. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke or Li Tai may be punished.

If Li Ke or Li Tai are disposed of, how will Li Shimin explain to Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang?

This would have led to a tragedy, and it would have been a scandal involving the royal family. If it is made public, it will greatly affect the prestige of the royal family.

This will make Li Shimin very difficult.

If others don't intervene in this matter, Li Shimin may secretly warn Li Tai or Li Ke, and the matter will be over. There will be no irreversible consequences.

Li Chengqian is not stupid, and basically understands what Li You means. He said hatefully, "Damn it, I'm cheaper for you this time." ”

After speaking, he invited Li You to the East Palace as a guest.

Li You said, "Next time." I still have some business to go back to my home. ”

Li You was tired. He was really tired, he was tired.

Not only was he tired, but he was also a little scared. He pondered the arson in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. But there seems to be some confusion about it. He mainly couldn't figure it out, arson is easy to trace, those who set fires, why is the IQ so low? Doing such a stupid thing?

He didn't want to do anything today, so he wanted to go back and have a good meal.

After bidding farewell to Li Chengqian, Li You took Xiao Wanyu and Murong Ling and returned to the Qi Palace.

At dinner, Yin Hongji came, and he asked, "What do you think about the arson?" ”

Li You asked, "Uncle, what do you think?" ”

Yin Hongji said: "I haven't figured it out yet, but this matter will never be as simple as it seems on the surface. I always felt like they weren't afraid to track them down. ”

Yin Hongzhi's words reminded Li You, and he suddenly figured it out and said, "Uncle, I know what's going on." ”

Yin Hongji asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Li You said: "Uncle, you are right, these arsonists are by no means impulsive to do such a thing.

First of all, the arsonist is extremely powerful, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to mobilize dozens of knights and make such a big noise.

Secondly, arson is such a big thing, these people are obviously not afraid to track it down. With so many people mobilized and such a big movement, it is impossible that there will be no clues, and it will not be too difficult to track down, but people dare to do this. There must be fearlessness.

If it was Li Ke or Li Tai who did it, they would really have nothing to fear. Because the father would never dispose of them for the sake of this.

Then the question arises.

How so? Uh, let's put it this way.

Uncle, let me make an inappropriate analogy. If this matter was done by your son Yin Guanghao, you will definitely not investigate this matter, and you will do everything possible to cover it up. Right? ”

Yin Hongji thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I will definitely do it." ”

Li You then asked, "So, what would you think if someone forced you to investigate this matter?" ”

Yin Hongji said: "I will be very embarrassed, and I will be dissatisfied with these people who persecute me, and even hate them.

Ah! Your Highness, I see. The real purpose of their fires is not to burn the grain. The real killer turned out to be hiding here. This is too insidious, isn't it?! ”

Yin Hongji was scared into a cold sweat!

Night was falling. There are still quite a few pedestrians walking around the long street. Now, the curfew at the Great Wall has been postponed until midnight. It greatly facilitates the life of the residents of Chang'an City.

Li You said to Xiao Wanyu, Murong Ling, and Bai Hu: "Wanyu, when you go home, go to your grandfather and father, Ling'er go to Wei Zheng, and White Tiger go to Cheng Yanjin."

You tell them that the arson of the planting base should not be mentioned again from now on. Don't even ask Your Majesty to track it down. Remember, remember! ”

The three of them took the order and left.

Li You was very worried that Xiao Qian and the three of them would completely offend Li Shimin because of this.

His worries were not unfounded. He knew the personalities of these three people: Wei Zheng was fair and jealous of evil. He will definitely investigate this matter.

Xiao Qian is a stinky temper, stubborn in doing things, and a little pedantic, this matter involves his son-in-law Li You, he will definitely not give up.

Cheng Biting Jin is a slippery head, but this time it involves his son Cheng Chuliang after all. To prove his son's innocence. He will definitely ask Li Shimin to investigate this incident.

In any case, these three people are good people to Li You, and he must protect them.

Li You: This is also a helpless move.

Despite this, it sounds unpleasant. But if you forcibly track it down in order to vent your anger, it is not a question of whether it is cool or not, but a matter of death.

Liangyi Palace.

After Ma Xuanliang was ordered to investigate the arson case of the grain planting base, he was uneasy. He had already guessed that this matter was either done by Li Ke or Li Tai.

Zhou Junren is the deputy head of the Hundred Cavalry Division and Ma Xuanliang's deputy. He asked, "My lord, if this matter is not investigated, if so, where can it be investigated?" ”
