The case of Feng Du's assassination gradually fermented in Chang'an City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zhi, as the first suspect, all the rumors from all directions pointed at him like a sharp sword, not only the courtiers discussed and criticized, but also spread public opinion to the people in the market.

Li Shisheng gave birth to more than a dozen sons, the sons are not angry is a well-known thing, the eldest son Li Chengqian rebelled, the following king is either in the fish and meat country or addicted to wine, the difference is that some are better disguised, such as Li Chengqian, who has been pretending to be a good baby for more than ten years, and finally lost patience, and finally tore off the mask of camouflage, and made a rebellion like a moth to a fire, although it was destroyed in just one night, it was barely a fireworks of different colors.

Some people don't even bother to disguise, they simply put on an unreasonable face, I'm in the fish and meat country, I'll step on your crops, I like beautiful colors and wine, what? You're beating me.

There are more than a dozen sons who are not angry, and it is not surprising that there is one more murderer among them, although Li Zhi, the king of Jin, is as cute and cute as a good baby on weekdays, but with Li Chengqian, the negative teaching material of the pretending good baby, no one dares to make a conclusion.

As a result, the case of Feng Du's assassination quickly began to ferment, and all the evidence pointed to Li Zhi, and Li Zhi became the finger of a thousand people.

The talk of stealing is getting louder and louder, and finally there is still a royal history in the court to officially pierce this layer of window paper, two days later, the three supervisors of the imperial history jointly signed a letter, asking Li Shimin to strictly investigate the assassination of Feng Du, and the relevant suspects must be detained in Dali Temple, waiting for the tribunal to adjudicate.

Of course, Li Shimin stayed in the middle of the first time and did not have any response, and the courtiers expected Li Shimin's reaction.

The emperor's son-in-law, and he is also the most well-behaved and obedient son-in-law on weekdays, who was raised by Li Shimin's side personally, and said that there is no ironclad evidence, even if there is, Li Shimin can use the majesty of the emperor to press this matter, and he died a little imperial history, will Li Shimin really take his most beloved son to resist his fate? Don't be naïve, even if this case is an iron case, Li Zhi's punishment is at most a year of captivity, confiscation of part of the land, and life will leave an indelible stain from now on, it is impossible to be a prince in this life, the punishment is a little more ruthless, at most it is to cut off the prince and demote him to the common people, this is already the most severe punishment, as for letting Li Zhi give Feng Du his life, don't even think about it, how can the life of the dragon son be so low.

Therefore, when the imperial historians jointly signed the sparse, Li Shimin was gritted his teeth, and left the music sparse in the middle, without making any instructions, and the courtiers saw Li Shimin's attitude, most of them understood Li Shimin's intentions, and those who were interested stopped speaking out, but there were still a few imperial historians who did not forgive, their purpose was not easy to distinguish, perhaps they were instructed by others, or perhaps they were to imitate the deceased Wei Zheng, and challenge their own survival limits with justice.

When rumors were flying, Li Zhi's performance was very calm.

As if nothing had happened, as usual, he was happy to play, and he missed class every once in a while, and ran to Chang'an Street with the guards around him, buying some messy things, and called two Hu merchants to inquire about the customs and stories of foreign countries, and danced happily when he heard the excitement, and finally returned happy.

Occasionally, he also personally visited the old generals on Suzaku Street with gifts, from Li Jing and Li Ji to Niu Jin Dacheng and bite gold, all the people who should be visited were visited, and they talked about the military preparation of the state, and asked for advice on the strategy of pacifying and merging the state.

In short, Li Zhi was as heartless as ever, and seemed to have no idea that he was the only suspect in Feng Du's assassination case, and his life was no different from before.

When the courtiers saw it, their moods suddenly changed. Some sneered, thinking that Li Zhi was acting and pretending to be calm, while others gradually became suspicious and began to wonder whether Li Zhi was the real murderer.

Sun Fujia, the Qing of Dali Temple, was the most troublesome, because Li Shimin handed over the case to him.

Li Zhi's identity is the prince, and he is the prince of the prince, different from ordinary prisoners, Sun Fujia came to the door several times to interview Li Zhi, Li Zhi was very cooperative, about Feng Du's case, Li Zhi had to answer all questions, and every sentence was the truth, from the reason why he passed through the dark alley at the time of the crime, who were the people around him at that time, to the murder weapon found outside Jingyang Palace, etc., Li Zhi's answer was very detailed.

Sun Fujia has many years of experience in handling cases, and whether Li Zhi's answer is true or false needs to be further verified, but judging from Li Zhi's performance of not being humble, arrogant or unhurried, it is obvious that Li Zhi does not have the kind of weakness and panic of other criminal suspects, he has always been very calm and cooperative, and his eyes are very calm when he speaks.

The only suspect is so calm and sincere, in Sun Fujia's heart, Li Zhi's suspicion is getting smaller and smaller, so Sun Fujia is in another predicament, if Li Zhi is not the real murderer, then, who is the person who killed Feng Du?

…………

Li Tai came to the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion again.

This time, Li Tai visited the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji was quite unhappy.

Although it is an uncle and nephew, everyone's identity is more sensitive, and try not to see each other if they can meet on weekdays, in this period when the prince of the Tang Dynasty is about to be decided, it is not a good thing that the King of Wei and the prime minister of the current dynasty have too close contacts, and in the eyes of those who have a heart, especially in the eyes of Li Shimin, there may be something to think.

But since Li Tai is here, the eldest grandson Wuji can't drive him away immediately, which is more likely to arouse suspicion. So the eldest grandson Wuji had no choice but to be displeased and received Li Tai in the front hall.

Li Taili did a lot of etiquette, saluted when he met, and stood respectfully in front of the eldest grandson Wuji with the attitude of his own junior, with a simple and deferential expression.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the old man told you last time that if it is not an urgent matter of 100,000 on weekdays, you and I will try not to meet, could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Wei has forgotten the old man's words?" The eldest grandson Wuji was dissatisfied.

Li Tai's fat face fell, he took two steps closer, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle, today's matter is urgent, Tai has to take the risk to come to the door again and beg Uncle to have an idea." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji snorted and said, "Are you talking about Feng Du being stabbed?" ”

"Yes." Li Tai sighed and said: "Tai knows that Feng Du is actually a disciple of his uncle, and he has been well hidden all these years, and Feng Du's departure from the adult prince is also at the behest of his uncle, but ...... Why were the good ones stabbed? As soon as Feng Du died, the whole thing was out of control, Tai has been restless for the past few days, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, you say, ...... the person who stabbed Feng Du to death?"

The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard slowly and methodically, and said lightly: "Who else can it be?" Naturally, it was Li Su's handiwork, hehe, it was a good move to preemptively, and even the old man was caught off guard......"

Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is it really him?" But he ...... Why did you stab Feng Du to death for no reason? ”

"It's very simple, he wants to muddy the pool of water in Chang'an City, so as to make profits in the chaos, and keep Li Zhi, the king of Jin, from leaving Beijing......" A fine light flashed in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he muttered: "The shot is ruthless and decisive, and the timing is just right, the old man really underestimated this Tang Yingjie, and sure enough, his name is true, and Li Zhi, the king of Jin, has his assistance, it seems that it is really a blessing......"

Squinting at Li Tai, the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and sighed: "Your Royal Highness King Wei, the old man is very curious, why didn't you pull him under your command in the first place?" Getting this one person is far better than thousands of ministers, why did the King of Wei miss this son? ”

Li Tai's face suddenly became a little ugly, he was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Tai is too conceited, and he thinks that the position of the prince is foolproof, so he has no respect for Li Sushu, so he missed." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "The erector is rude, and he doesn't know how to bend and bend, how can he become a big deal?" Do you know that even if Li Su says a word in front of your father, your father will definitely be well-dressed, and treat him like a national scholar, what qualifications do you have to be rude to him? Don't you know all the deeds he has done over the years? ”

Li Tai was full of shame, hung his head and said: "Everything is Tai's fault, and now ...... It's too late to regret. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said regretfully: "What a talent of warp and weft, Shengsheng was forced by you to become an opponent, and now Li Sutie is determined to assist Li Zhi, the king of Jin, whether the prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future is you King Wei or not, the old man is a little unsure......"

Li Tai was anxious: "Tai knows that he is wrong, please ask my uncle to help me!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted, closed his eyes and was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Let's take a look at this matter from the beginning, Feng Du's assassination is not only an accident, but the old man can be sure that it must be a conspiracy, and then it was suspected that Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was suspected, but this made the old man a little surprised, at first the old man suspected that it was Li Ke, the king of Wu, but then he felt that it was not very like, and after thinking about it, it seems that only Li Su can do such a strange thing......"

Li Tai was taken aback and said in amazement: "Li Su...... Take the initiative to detain the real murderer on Li Zhi's head? So, why is that? Isn't Li Su a counselor who assists Li Zhi? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "The old man thought about it for a long time, and roughly understood Li Su's thoughts, Feng Du died, and the court was in chaos, which was Li Su's purpose, but Feng Du's death was not enough, Li Su thought that the pool of water in Chang'an City was not muddy enough, so he took the initiative to set himself on fire in order to make the pool more chaotic......"

"Feng Du was stabbed at the instigation of Li Su, but think about it, from beginning to end, does this matter have anything to do with Li Zhi, the king of Jin?"

Li Tai shook his head.

"Then, King Li Zhi of Jin is innocent, he is not the real murderer, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department continue to investigate, the final result must be to prove the innocence of King Li Zhi of Jin, think about it again, your father has always loved King Jin, after King Jin was wronged, how much your father cherished King Jin, then, in order to compensate for the grievances of King Jin, is it possible for him to be soft-hearted and specially decreed to let King Jin stay in the capital for a long time?"
