Chapter 78: Cui Xu's confession
Cheng bit the golden bull's eyes and glared: "I said, how can you think of me like this, I don't dare to joke with Your Majesty." β
Everyone thinks about it, although Cheng Yanjin, a bastard, often jokes with them, he really didn't joke about His Majesty, and it has been proved that this matter is true for so long.
Li Jing said with a smile: "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with His Royal Highness the Ninth again." β
Although Li Zhi is not very old, he is also a popular figure in Chang'an City.
"If His Royal Highness the Ninth is interested in the position of crown prince, then Your Majesty will have a headache."
Hearing this, Qin Qiong and the others all nodded secretly, Li Zhi's intelligence is simply outstanding, but what he did at a young age is always eye-opening, whether it is Arabic numerals, or the kindergarten, it is something that makes the whole Chang'an sensational.
Wei Chigong said with a pity on his face: "If I have a daughter, I will definitely let Your Majesty give marriage to His Royal Highness the Nine." β
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, there are many people in Chang'an City who have this idea, but His Majesty doesn't seem to have this idea yet.
The next morning, Li Shimin really raised the matter of flying cars and taxi companies, and His Majesty raised this matter in the court so solemnly, which shows how much His Majesty attaches great importance to this.
Yesterday, since he knew that Cheng Yanjin had taken this flying car, Wei Chigong had been feeling very unhappy in his heart, and now in front of Li Er, he directly came out and said: "Your Majesty wants to take this flying car, and I hope Your Majesty will complete it." β
If this taxi company wants to officially start operating, it naturally needs to be ridden, and even if Wei Chigong doesn't make this request today, he will take the initiative to let these ministers take a test ride.
"Okay, come on, go and drive that flying car into the court."
"Yes." The chamberlain took the order and left.
The flying car made everyone very curious, and their eyes were full of curiosity, just waiting to see the flying car.
Li Zhi had already left Chang'an last night, so this test ride naturally needed to be presided over by Li Er himself, and such a new thing was presided over by himself, which was also a matter of light on Li Er's face.
There are very few people in the world who don't have face, and this is naturally even more so for the emperors of this world, and the example of the Khan that day is not proof.
A flying car flew in from outside the hall, and Li Er got up and greeted, "Ladies and gentlemen, you guys get out of the middle and let the flying car land." β
Everyone ducked to the sides, and the flying car slowly landed on the ground.
"The usage of this flying car is very simple, and the specific operation method is like thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"This car can seat five people, you see who goes up first and tries it."
Wei Chigong naturally rushed to be the first person, and others naturally did not compete with him, but the remaining four places went through a fierce competition before the dust settled.
Seeing everyone's anxious looks, Li Er smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be so anxious, there are eight cars behind, enough for you to take turns for a test ride." β
The ministers glanced at Li Er resentfully, Your Majesty, you are deliberately looking at the jokes of the ministers.
After this test ride in the court, the story of the flying car and the taxi company was spread by their mouth.
The ancestral home of the Cui family in Qinghe County.
Cui Sheng, the head of the family, held a letter in his hand, and after opening the envelope, he looked at the contents of the letter, which made him break out in a cold sweat, and then his hands hung down weakly, allowing the letter to fall to the ground.
"Rebel son, how can I have such a son."
His precious son actually found someone to assassinate His Royal Highness, and even he was captured alive, and now Li Daozong personally wrote a letter to himself, does that indicate that His Majesty already knows about it.
Their Cui clan and His Majesty have always looked down on each other, but neither side is willing to tear their faces, after all, no one will get any benefits in that way.
What's more, His Majesty's methods when he ascended the throne were not glorious enough, so he has always been very careful about his reputation, even for a family like their five surnames and seven wangs, who have a far-reaching impact on the society, he is unwilling to take the initiative.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the five surnames and seven hopes have never taken the initiative to provoke the royal family, just as the five surnames and seven hopes do not care about the royal family's wanton behavior, that is the way to death.
But this time, his son hit his head and was captured alive.
Although Cui Xu is usually a little arrogant, he is not a fool, it is impossible to buy murder in a good manner, and more importantly, how can His Royal Highness appear in Shangdang City, he seriously suspects that this is a trap deliberately dug by the royal family for his son.
This time he really guessed correctly, although this trap has nothing to do with Li Er, but Li Zhi is also a member of the royal family, so his guess is also in the past.
Since Li Daozong wrote a letter to himself, it proves that there is still room for a turn in this matter.
If this matter is known to his brothers, he will not be able to sit still as the head of the family.
"Butler, prepare the car, I want to go to Luzhou."
It's too late to say anything now, and the top priority is to go to Shangdang City first to see what this highness wants, and I hope he won't open his mouth too much.
After Li Daozong went to Shangdang, he was taken to his home by Li Zhi.
"Your Highness, how did you catch those killers?"
In the letter, Li Zhi said that he had caught all the killers, which made Li Daozong feel a little incredible, and those killers would take poison and commit suicide once they missed, so it was generally rare for the killers to be captured alive.
Li Zhi smiled: "I'll call them here and let Uncle Huang see them." β
He took a black piece out of his pocket and pressed it on the red button.
"They're coming soon."
Li Daozong stared at the black thing in Li Zhi's hand curiously, and wondered: "Your Highness, this little thing in your hand can transmit signals?" β
"Hehe, Uncle Huang has good eyesight."
The two chatted for a few words, and the six killers including Lao Wu came to the hall, and they saluted Li Zhi in unison: "See Childe." β
Li Daozong was surprised: "They are actually your subordinates? β
He now suspects that this so-called assassination is a play written and directed by Li Zhi.
Of course, Li Zhi could guess what was in his heart.
"Uncle Huang, they are indeed killers bought by Cui Xu, but they were influenced by me afterwards."
Probation? Do you think that you are a high-ranking monk, and you can still make these killers put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas?
"Then Cui Xu also confessed?"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Of course I confessed, and there are several witnesses." β
After the owners of the gambling house learned of Li Zhi's identity, Li Zhi had no use of any means, so they recruited them all.
Although they usually do a lot of bad things, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to let people assassinate the prince, so they all insist that Cui Xu did it alone and has nothing to do with them.
However, it doesn't matter whether their testimony is or not, because Li Zhi has a confession written by Cui Xu himself, which not only contains the assassination of Li Zhi by the killer this time, but also a lot of evil things he did before, such as setting up a bureau to frame others, as well as forced buying and selling, human trafficking, and so on.
If this confession is handed over to Xing Bu, it will be enough for Cui Xu to die seven or eight times.
