Ma Yuanzhen was slightly stunned, and then immediately got up and helped Li Zhen up, and said with a smile: "You and I are both Your Majesty's courtiers, since you should share your Majesty's worries and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Although Ma Yuanzhen did not answer directly, his reaction at this time was enough to explain everything.

After leaving the Xuandu Temple, Li Zhen stopped and looked back, if he hadn't been there in person, who would have thought that there was such a secret hidden in this not too big mountain gate.

Li Zhen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly and melodiously, and after this breath, it seemed that his heart had become much clearer.

Things are moving in the direction I envisioned step by step, and it's a good feeling to have everything under control, and it's a good feeling to be confident.

Li Zhen's face was smiling, a little fluttering, turned around, and continued to walk lightly.

Leaning less, Ma Yuanzhen walked out of the door, with the same smile on his face, although Li Zhen had already left, Ma Yuanzhen stopped and looked in the direction of Li Zhen's departure.

On his side, there was a purple-robed Taoist with a long white beard.

"Can you trust him?" The Taoist asked.

Ma Yuanzhen only smiled, but did not answer.

......

Conservatory Hall.

"Dead?"

Li Chen put down the "Zhenguan Political Dignitaries" in his hand, and his tone seemed a little surprised, but his expression was not shocked.

"The minister's supervision is not effective, and I hope Your Majesty will be punished!"

Ma Zhi knelt down in the hall, looking flustered.

"Are you sure you died of poisoning?" Li Chen asked, but he didn't seem to mean to condemn Ma Zhi.

Ma Zhi nodded and said, "The minister ordered the three servants to inspect the corpse one after another, and came to the conclusion that Gu was poisoned and died!" ”

"Oh......" Li Chen nodded lightly, frowning and falling into deep thought.

Ma Zhi then said: "In addition, a jailer who was responsible for delivering food to Wang Zongshi was found dead at home this morning, he was stabbed in the throat with a sword, and his belongings were there, but his waist card was gone!" ”

"You mean that this assassin first killed the jailer, and then he himself posed as a jailer with a waist card, and then poisoned Wang Zongshi to death?" Li Chen asked softly.

"As far as the evidence is available, it is!" Ma Zhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied softly.

"Then ......" Li Chen looked at Ma Zhi and slowly muttered, "Who instructed this assassin?" ”

After hearing this, Ma Zhi came back in a cold sweat, Wang Zongshi's death is undoubtedly the most suspicious on the surface, and the relationship between Ma Yuanzhen and Ma Zhi is well known, even if Ma Zhi has a hundred mouths, it is difficult to shirk clean.

Seeing Ma Zhi so panicked, Li Chen couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "I can trust you!" ”

Ma Zhi looked up at Li Chen when he heard this, and then bowed his head and bowed again: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust, the crime deserves death!" The ministers must do their best to picket the assassins! ”

Li Chen nodded, waved his hand at Ma Zhi, and said, "You go down first!" ”

Ma Zhi was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Li Chen to deal with this matter so lightly, let alone the slightest intention to delve into this matter.

If Wang Zongshi's death made Ma Zhi feel at a loss, then Li Chen's attitude surprised Ma Zhi even more.

"Let's go down!" Li Chen repeated it again.

When Ma Zhi heard this, he retreated in fear.

After Ma Zhi left, Li Chen looked at Wang Guichang on the side and said, "Who do you think did it?" ”

Wang Guichang frowned and said, "Old slave...... Ignorance! ”

"I don't know, or don't you say it?" Li Chen then said.

Wang Guichang hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The old slave doesn't dare to deceive everyone, I really don't know!" ”

"Hahaha!" Li Chen laughed, then pointed at Wang Guichang and said, "You go and call Feng Ao!" ”

Wang Guichang came out with the order, and after about two moments, Feng Ao staggered into the hall, and was about to salute, but saw Li Chen and said directly: "Excuse me, do you know why I called Aiqing to come?" ”

Feng Ao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "The old minister doesn't know, I still hope that Your Majesty will make it clear!" ”

"Wang Zongshi is dead!"

"What?" Feng Ao was shocked, obviously unaware of this matter.

"Just this morning, in Dali Temple Prison!" Li Chen said again.

"Caught the Assassin?" Feng Ao then asked.

"If I catch the Assassin, I won't ask you!" Li Chen said with a smile.

Feng Ao thought for a while and said: "Dali Temple Prison is heavily guarded, if there is no reason for outsiders to enter, Ma Zhi is naturally responsible for Dali Temple!" ”

"Aiqing means Ma Zhi?" Li Chen seemed a little disappointed.

Feng Ao shook his head and said, "It's not Ma Zhi, but this assassin must have an internal response!" ”

"The Assassin killed a jailer and pretended to be him, thus allowing him to infiltrate the Dali Temple Prison......"

"Hehe, this is just some cover-up trick!" Feng Ao stroked his beard and chuckled.

......

Li House.

"You mean Qiu Shiliang?" Zheng Congyan's face changed slightly after hearing this.

"Not bad! Ma Yuanzhen is very smart, at least smarter than Qiu Shiliang! Because he can wait, but Qiu Shiliang can't wait! Li Zhai said with a smile.

Wang Zongshi's death undoubtedly disrupted Li Zhen's plan, but on the other hand, it also revealed a message.

Qiu Shiliang couldn't wait, because only when Wang Zongshi died, he would point all the fingers at Ma Yuanzhen, after all, he was the most suspicious so far.

Zheng Hao and Liu Ying couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and Liu Ying immediately said: "In fact, as soon as Wang Zongshi dies, it is Qiu Shiliang who benefits the most, firstly, his position as the lieutenant of the Right Shence Army will not be replaced in a short period of time, and secondly, if Ma Yuanzhen can really be pulled into the water, the Left and Right Shence Army will undoubtedly all be under Qiu Shiliang's command!" ”

"Then from this point of view, Qiu Shiliang's next move is to make Ma Yu's move!" Zheng Hao then said.

"Well, but Qiu Shiliang has made a lot of calculations, but he has miscalculated a move after all!" Li Zhen couldn't help laughing.

"You mean...... Your Majesty!? Zheng Congyan reacted very quickly, but he was not sure.

"I am seeking my brother's correct solution, Qiu Shiliang has planned so much, but he never thought about what His Majesty's attitude would be?" Li Zhen said with a smile.

"And what is Your Majesty's attitude?" Zheng Congyan asked.

"Your Majesty......" Li Zhen smiled, shook his head, and said, "I don't know ......"

......

Ma Yuanzhen's Mansion.

Looking at Ma Zhi's sad face, Ma Yuanzhen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect Qiu Shiliang to really take the move of abandoning the car to protect the handsome!" ”

"In this way, we are afraid that we will be controlled by others everywhere!" Ma Zhi said worriedly.

Ma Yuanzhen pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said, "Ma Yu...... I'm afraid I can't keep it! Before Qiu Shiliang goes any further......"

Ma Yuanzhen didn't continue, but Ma Zhi said in shock: "Brother, no! Please spare Ma Yu's life! ”
