Princess Taiping's framing was expected by Li Sanlang, but how could he tell the truth about last night in front of everyone's eyes, he looked at the female emperor with luck, and the only one who could make Li Ke a little better at this moment may be her. I saw that the female emperor's eyes were slightly closed, as if she was thinking, the deputy commander of the forbidden army was slaughtered, and the female emperor didn't speak first about such a big thing, who dared to say anything, and for a while the hall was silent, so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

In the end, it was Zhang Cambodia who broke the silence, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, this incident happened too suddenly, that Li Ke was obviously imprisoned in the prison, but he disappeared for no reason at this moment, and the Qile family was suddenly wiped out. It is better to prepare for the two matters discussed by His Majesty before, and then send someone to investigate this matter separately. ”

Zhang Cambodia is worthy of being an old man, and the female emperor is waiting for this recital to alleviate the current situation, and the female emperor can't say in public that she secretly let Li Ke go; As for the slaughter of the Qiler family, after Gao Lishi's secret play, she actually guessed nine times out of ten in her heart, but she couldn't mention it in public, so as not to startle the snake; She was hesitating, and Zhang Cambodia's words were just enough to alleviate the current difficulties.

But before the female emperor could speak, Wu Sansi was the first to speak: "Zhang Ge Lao's words are different, the facts of this matter are clear, the motive is clear, who is it not Li Ke?" This king has heard that Li Kejianghu is very chivalrous, and he will take revenge if he has revenge. Princess Azina's maid identified him in public last night, and he must have taken revenge! Besides, Naqile's martial arts are not bad, and there are so many forbidden troops in the mansion, who can slaughter them except Li Ke? If such a thief is not eliminated, how can we handle His Majesty's affairs with peace of mind, and how can we ensure that everything is taken care of? ”

Hearing Wu Sansi say this, his staff members all echoed him. The female emperor saw it in her eyes and was angry in her heart, but it was inconvenient to attack at this time. Seeing this, Li Sanlang hurriedly said, "I have something I want to ask King Liang for?" Wu Sansi glanced at Li Sanlang with slanted eyes and said, "But it's okay to say it!" ”

Li Sanlang said: "If King Liang believes that the murderer is Li Ke, then why did Li Ke behead Princess Azina and her maid?" ”

After Li Sanlang asked, Wu Sansi was a little caught off guard and replied: "This... This may be because Li Ke was so cruel that he cut off his head to vent his anger! ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang smiled slightly, and asked the little eunuch who had come to report: "You said that the three of her heads were cut off, did you find that head in the Qile Mansion?" ”

The little eunuch thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't found it." ”

Li Sanlang turned his head to Wu Sansi and continued: "Let me ask King Liang, generally speaking, murderers kill people, and they are only busy evacuating, so how can they cut off their heads and carry them away? Besides, it's three heads, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to carry! ”

After Li Sanlang said this, King Liang didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and Wu Jiang beside him hurriedly interjected: "Then you say, why are the heads of the three of them missing." ”

Li Sanlang replied in a positive voice: "There is only one reason, that is, the murderer does not want people to see this head, that is to say, the murderer does not want people to see who the real person who is killed!" ”

Li Jiang continued: "Wasn't it Princess Azina and her two personal maids who were killed? ”

Li Sanlang's eyes suddenly looked like torches, staring at Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang and said, "Who said that the person who was killed must be Princess Azina and her two personal maids?" It was just three corpses dressed in the costumes of the princess and the maid, and the one who was really killed may have been the person who pretended to be the princess and the maid last night. ”

Li Sanlang said this menacingly, Wu Jiang no longer dared to answer, everyone was surprised after hearing it, Wu Sansi continued: "As you said, then who else can do this massacre of dozens of people up and down Qile except Li Ke?" ”

Li Sanlang smiled softly and replied: "King Liang doesn't know, there are many people with profound martial arts in this world, I won't list them all here, I only say one person - Turkic Keduo!" ”

In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Wu Sansi sneered a few times and said, "You said that Keduo is Keduo?" And what about the Kerdoman? Did you catch it? What about Guest Lee? Is it true that he disappeared from prison? ”

After Wu Sansi finished speaking, Li Sanlang did not continue to deal with it, turned around and said to the empress: "Your Majesty, there are many doubts in this matter, so Weichen agrees with Zhang Cambodia's suggestion, instead of arguing here, it is better to go their own way, and the Shangyuan matter will be prepared quickly, and we will also investigate the case as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, the female emperor was afraid that Nawu would think twice about entanglement, so she hurriedly replied: "According to what you say, all the secretaries will do their own thing!" If there is a result, come and report it quickly! Lest you get entangled here for no reason, and nothing will go wrong! Do you have any objections? ”

The female emperor has already made this conclusion, Wu Sansi and Taiping are unwilling, and it is inconvenient to entangle too much at this moment, so the ministers retreat.

A moment later, the crown prince Li Xian, Zhang Cambodia, Li Sanlang and others have returned to the East Palace, Li Ke has been anxiously waiting for news here, but after listening to Li Sanlang's story about today's early dynasty, he can't help but be a little disappointed, he didn't expect things to develop to this point, the most surprising thing for him is that the murderer is so bold and reckless, even the deputy commander of the forbidden army dares to slaughter overnight.

The crown prince Li Xian said anxiously: "San Lang, today as a father, I have been reminding you not to mention this matter again, but the result... Ay... ”

Zhang Cambodia relieved Li Sanlang from the siege: "Don't blame Li Sicheng, the prince, even if Li Sicheng did not report today's incident in the palace, it has indeed happened, and the final result is no different from the present." The prince sighed again and said no more.

Li Sanlang said: "The murderer is like this, we can only investigate the case as soon as possible, so as not to cause another incident at His Majesty's lantern ceremony; Fortunately, the matter of the lantern lighting ceremony was only raised today, and even if the murderer had the ability, it was expected that it would be difficult for him to prepare within three days. ”

Li Ke shook his head and said, "We must not think about this matter simply. I've been wondering, from the initial robbery outside the city gate, to the Khitan dead soldiers, to today's slaughter of the deputy commander of the forbidden army, what is the connection between this? That Kertok will not just provoke trouble for no reason, what is his ultimate goal? These things seem to be unrelated, but there must be a line in the middle, which puts everything together, and it is this line that we are looking for! and Princess Taiping and King Liang, what role do they play in this series of things. ”

Hearing Li Ke say this, everyone felt reasonable, and they all fell into contemplation again for a while. At this time, a person came in from outside the gate of the East Palace, it was the empress's secret envoy Gao Lishi, who was in a hurry, and seemed to not want more people to see him. When everyone saw him, they hurriedly saluted, and when Gao Lishi saw that there was no one else in the palace, he did not make much politeness, and whispered: "Your Majesty's secret decree orders you to hurry up and investigate this case." Your Majesty also said, Li Ke, this person, I believe it! With that, Yi Shili didn't stay too long, and left immediately.

This "Li Ke, this person, I believe in it!" "Just seven words, nothing more than a reassuring pill for everyone, this remark is not only aimed at Li Ke, but more at the prince's party, so that they can dispel their concerns and continue to investigate the case, of course, these short seven words make Li Ke grateful to Dade.

Li Ke immediately spoke: "My Emperor Shengming! Li Keding immediately went to investigate the case. ”

Li Sanlang frowned, and said: "But Li Duwei's identity is no different from that of a fugitive at the moment, and it is inconvenient for His Majesty to exempt you from responsibility, so how can it be good if this matter is inconvenient?" ”

Li Ke smiled lightly and said, "Li Sicheng, don't worry about this matter, Li has a way!" ”

When the prince heard Li Ke say this, he was also interested, so he asked, "What does Li Duwei plan to do with it?" ”

Li Ke glanced at Len Kesu beside him and replied with a smile: "Back to the prince, this friend of Li is not only a court painter, but also an excellent master of disguise!" With him here, it is not difficult for Li to hide his face! ”

The prince and Li Sanlang were both shocked, it turned out that there was really a disguise technique in this world, so Li Sanlang asked: "Then please try it quickly, we can also observe it." ”

Len Kesu smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly a word spread outside the hall: "Someone outside the East Palace asks to see Li Sicheng!" ”

"Who's coming?"

"That person's name is Chen Wuji, and he is the leader of the dragon and the company!"

Li Sanlang was shocked again, isn't this Chen Wuji still being treated in the Imperial Medical Department? Why did he run here, so he replied, "Let it in quickly." ”

After a while, the person who came into the hall was indeed Chen Wuji, his face was a little pale at the moment, but judging from his walking posture, it seemed that most of his injuries had recovered. Li Sanlang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Chen Sizhi is not in the Imperial Medical Department for treatment, how can he be here?" ”

Chen Wuji immediately replied: "I heard that since I was recuperating from my injuries, there have been several cases in a row, and this morning I heard the Tai Medical Department say that the deputy commander of the forbidden army was slaughtered, how can I still recuperate in peace, so I came to look for it, and then I heard that Li Sicheng was in the East Palace, so I came here." ”

After Li Sanlang listened, his heart was full of praise, so he asked with concern: "But Chen Sizhi's injury... Chen Wuji hurriedly replied: "The imperial doctor has healed properly, and now there is no major problem, and it doesn't hurt to do anything about fighting." ”

Li Sanlang said: "Chen Sizhi disregarded his personal safety this time, and devoted himself to serving the imperial court, and when this matter is over, I will ask Your Majesty for Chen Sicheng!" ”

After hearing this, Chen Wuji immediately knelt on the ground and replied loudly: "Thank you Li Sicheng!" ”

Li Sanlang helped Chen Wuji up, turned to Li Ke and Lun Kesu and said: "Chen Sizhi came just in time, Li Duwei can disguise himself as a soldier and go to investigate the case together, so he can also take care of it!" ”

Len Kesu smiled and replied, "That's easy!" So he began to work on transfiguring for Li Ke. After a moment, Li Ke has become a man in his forties, with a little gray hair on his temples, his face is still thin, but his complexion is getting darker and darker, and his facial features and eyebrows seem to have changed.

Len Kesu continued: "The change in the facial features of this eyebrow is all about the convergence of the facial nerves in the Fengchi acupoint. Li Daxia, you have to be careful, if this Fengchi acupoint is touched, it is possible to return to its previous appearance, remember! Li Ke looked at himself in the bronze jian, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at himself, and when he heard Lun Kesu say this, he also secretly wrote it down.

Seeing that everything was arranged, Li Sanlang immediately said to Li Ke and Chen Wuji: "Then the investigation of the case will be handed over to the two of you!" In order to ensure his safety, Lenkesu temporarily stayed in the East Palace. After saying that, he gave a salute.

Len Kesu said: "Xie Li Sicheng takes care of it, but doesn't Li Sicheng investigate the case together?" ”

Li Sanlang smiled after hearing this, and said, "I have other important things to do right now, and I will join the two of them when I am done." ”

Len Kesu asked suspiciously, "Is there anything more important than investigating this case at the moment?" ”

Li Sanlang glanced at Chen Xuanli and said to Lun Kesu: "Bow down!" ”

After hearing this, Len Kesu became even more puzzled, and continued to ask: "Hitting the bow is more important than investigating the murder case?" ”

Without waiting for Li Sanlang to answer, Zhang Cambodia laughed loudly and said: "Mr. doesn't know, this bow is really important. Competing with the Wan Domain, it can show the prestige of our dynasty, Li Sicheng, as the best bower in our dynasty, if he doesn't join, won't he sweep away His Majesty's interest and be suspected of resisting the decree? Moreover, in this competition, didn't the prince and Li Sicheng just show their skills in front of the envoys of the ten thousand domains and make a name for themselves? ”

Li Sanlang added: "Of course, the most important thing is that I can be present to assist in arranging security to ensure that Your Majesty and the crown prince are thorough, and if the villains attack, they can also respond!" ”

Lenquesu patted his head and replied, "I see! The villain is blunt! ”

Seeing that the arrangements were made together, Prince Li Xian said: "It has been agreed, then without further ado, you will go your separate ways!" ”

The crowd replied, "Oh! ”
