Chapter Seventy-Two: The Emperor's Godson

Half a month later, Li Chengqian whispered to Lou Shide in the Hongwen Pavilion: "I really let you guess, the guards I sent have been staring outside the harem gate for half a month, and there are really palace people who went out to buy things to steal things in the palace, and one went to the back door of the eldest grandson Shunde Mansion to contact his housekeeper."

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on the dots, feel their rules, and the rest will be easy to do, be careful not to expose yourself" Lou Shide said excitedly.

"Don't worry!" Li Chengqian said very confidently.

The palace purchased money four, and before entering the palace, he had always had a little problem of stealing chickens and dogs, and he entered the palace in order to avoid gambling debts. Relying on his own shrewdness and observing his face and appearance for a few years, he quickly became a palace purchaser, and with a little status to be able to leave the palace regularly, this guy's mind slowly became active again.

With a little money in hand, every time I left the palace, I went to the gambling house to live happily twice, and I lost all my savings in a few times, and I thought of selling a few pieces of utensils in the palace under the red eye.

After stealing a few times, I found that the palace guards thought that he was an old man and didn't deliberately search for him, and this guy became more and more bold, and slowly some small things couldn't get into his eyes.

The hole in the palace treasure pavilion is getting bigger and bigger, and in a hurry, he started the idea of the items in the treasure pavilion in the palace, and it happened that it was his little apprentice who was in charge of the treasure pavilion, and after a few means, the key to the treasure pavilion was in the hands of Qian Si.

In the past two years, the two of them have stolen a lot of good things from the palace, and they have been sent to the pawnshop by Qian Si, but this guy's methods of doing things are really good, and every time he takes out something inconsequential and valuable, he has not been discovered.

After a long time, there will definitely be flaws, after Li Shimin entered the harem, there was a time when Qian Si was about to bring items out of the palace when he was caught by the eldest grandson Shunde.

Just when this guy was sitting on the ground and waiting for death, he didn't expect the eldest grandson Shunde to give him a job, on the condition that every time he stole something from the palace, he would pick up something good and send it to him first.

This is easy to do, Qian Si suddenly came to the spirit, and the cat and mouse at the door were in cahoots, Qian Si's life was better than before, and he was even more bold, and this guy's level of stealing things was getting higher and higher, and he was more careless.

On the day of the rest, Wei Zheng was sitting at home early in the morning, and the housekeeper who guarded the door came in to report that the prince and the attendant had come to see him and wash the horse.

Wei Zheng was stunned in his heart, and when he went out, he was relieved to see Li Chengqian with Lou Shide and a few guards in regular clothes.

The Tang Dynasty was open, and the prince was not taken seriously at this time, even more so by the important ministers of the court.

"Mr. Wei, I just want to go to the street with Mr. to experience the people," Li Chengqian said very politely.

"Since the prince has this Yaxing, as a horse washer, he should obey, the prince please."

Wei Zheng just cleaned up, dressed in regular clothes and accompanied a few people out of the door on their way to Dongshi, a few people chatted while talking, and arrived at Dongshi after walking for a long time.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the largest pawnshop in Dongshi, I happened to see Qian Si coming down from the steps of the pawnshop, and when Qian Si saw Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian, his face changed greatly, and he quickly lowered his head and turned around and wanted to go back.

But what scared him the most happened anyway.

"That's not the procurement money in the palace, come over quickly," Li Chengqian shouted at him.

Qian Si's legs trembled and moved to Li Chengqian.

"Don't give a salute in front of the public, we just met by chance," Li Chengqian said to Qian Si'er with a smile.

"You're out to buy something?"

"Slaves and maids go out of the palace to buy some commonly used things", Qian Si'er said with a smile on her face.

"Then how did you buy something at the pawnshop?" Lou Shide added a sentence later.

"This, the owner of this pawnshop is opened by my maternal uncle's family, and the villain came to visit relatives," Qian Si gritted his teeth and said.

"Oh, it just so happens that I've never been in a pawnshop, let's go to your uncle's house and see how this pawnshop works."

Before Qian Si could speak, Li Chengqian couldn't step into the pawnshop.

"Man, your nephew is back again," Li Chengqian said, pointing at Qian Si.

"Guest officer, what are you kidding, this uncle is our gold master, and just now he also made two jade pendants with us, saying that this is an object in the palace of the former dynasty."

"Oh, how much is that? Can you have a pawn ticket? Wei Zheng asked with squinted eyes.

"Of course, the two jade pendants were a total of one hundred and twenty yuan, and all the silver coins were given," said the shopkeeper.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Si'er sat on the ground.

"Search!" Li Chengqian gave an order, and the two guards went up and threw the money on the ground and took out a bulging money bag from his arms.

"Mr. Wei, things are really in a hurry today, you can catch a thief if you go shopping" Li Chengqian said to Wei Zheng with a smile.

Things are like this, and when Wei Zheng and Li Chengqian reveal their identities, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop will be scared.

"You don't know it's not guilty, but you can't avoid this witness," Wei Zheng said to the shopkeeper.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, some matters involve the palace, and the ministers will be tried by the three divisions of my Imperial Historical Tower, Dali Temple and Zongren Mansion, and then the ministers will report the situation to the sage" Wei Zheng arched his hand and said to Li Chengqian.

"Then there is Mr. Lao Wei," Li Chengqian waited for Wei Zheng's words.

Wei Zheng was also neat, and he didn't return home to bring Qian Si'er to Dali Temple, and the next morning Wei Zheng put Qian Si'er's confession in front of the courtiers.

It was not strange that Qian Si and a few others stole things, but after the matter of the eldest grandson Shunde's self-theft came out, the important ministers of the court and the central government were in an uproar for a while, and they all stood up and demanded that the eldest grandson Shunde be severely punished.

In the face of the stolen goods, the eldest grandson Shunde also panicked, and begged the eldest grandson Wuji to ignore him with his eyes. I had no choice but to kneel on the ground and plead guilty.

Li Shimin, who was furious, handled things very simply, Qian Si'er and several other palace people who stole things were fifty and three thousand miles, and Qian Si'er and several people were beaten to death before they could finish the board, and the eldest grandson Shunde dismissed the official and went home to think about it.

After the incident passed, Li Chengqian and Lou Shide, who were excited, did not sleep well for two days.

On this day, Hongwenguan had just finished school, and the two were stopped by the Huangmen official and said that the saint was invited.

In the imperial study, Li Shimin looked at the two of them with some amusement, Li Chengqian and Lou Shide stood in front of Li Shimin with a somewhat blank expression.

"Hide behind the screen for a while, if you dare to make a sound, I will break your dog's legs today", Li Shimin's nonsensical words made the two of them stunned, but they didn't dare to keep silent, nodded and acquiesced.

After a while, Xiao Huangmen walked in and said that Wei Zheng had been summoned to see him.

"I don't know what the saint is looking for?" Wei Zheng was not polite when he saw Li Shimin.

"Qing's matter today is very much in line with my wishes," Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Thank you for the praise of the saints".

"But I'm wondering, didn't the eldest grandson Shunde know about the theft of the servants in the palace for a long time?" Li Shimin didn't hide it either.

"This minister just heard people say it in the streets and alleys, when the imperial history was ready to hear about it, was stopped by the minister, first, this matter is big, if there is really a snake, it will inevitably startle the snake, and secondly, it should be cautious when it comes to the harem."

"Then do you know why the prince and Lou Shide are looking for you?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"At first, the minister really didn't know what these two people were thinking, but simply thought that these two people were looking for me to go to the street to check the people's feelings, and when they saw that the deacons of the harem were selling the property stolen from the palace, the minister immediately understood what was going on. It is certain that these two people found out about these things, and it is inconvenient to say that they called out the minister to use it as a knife. After interrogation, the spearhead was pointed at the eldest grandson Shunde, and the minister understood that the two of them were using the minister as a swordsman to vent his master's anger. But that's fine, the minister took advantage of the situation to be this knife, and it can be regarded as a wish of the prince."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Shimin, and the two of them looked at each other for a while and then laughed.

"It's already known to everyone in the world that you and Xiao Qing don't look at each other, but he is far away in Jiangnan and didn't expect to owe you a personal favor," Li Shimin said to Wei Zheng with a smile.

"That's different, the minister doesn't have a good impression of him until now, but there is no need to care about everyone's grievances in the face of national righteousness, he Xiao Zheng is worried about the country in Jiangnan, and the minister can't help much, but he can still do it for the saint to remove a few moths in the court. However, the prince's tricks are still too superficial, it is better to talk directly to the ministers, please teach the saint well in the future, as a prince, the means will either be above board, or no one will find out, how can this work."

"This I will educate well, and I will reward you."

"The minister retreats", Wei Zheng gave a salute and turned around and retreated.

"Come out!".

Looking at the two disgraced teenagers standing in front of him, Li Shimin asked: "Now you know, who is using whom as a knife, just because the two of you still want to be tempted in front of Wei Zheng?" ”。

"Today I will make you grow your eyes."

When the eldest grandson rushed over, Li Shimin was adding punches and kicks to Li Chengqian and Lou Shide, and Li Chengqian was an ear scraper, turning around and kicking Lou Shide's buttocks, and seeing the eldest grandson standing next to him covering his mouth and laughing.

"You two bastards, you know that your master has been bullied and wants to vent your anger on him, right, you let you two boys stretch out your hand for the things in the court?! Just the two of you are still playing treasure in front of me, and you are still playing tricks in front of Wei Zheng, now you understand, who is playing with whom? Something that doesn't have an eye! In the future, I will go to Hongwen Hall to study, and then I will kick you two to death if I want to change the way to make trouble in the court, get out! ”。

Hearing Li Shimin shout to get out, Lou Shi dragged Li Gan's head and ran out of the hall without looking back, and the embarrassed appearance of the two made the eldest grandson laugh.

Seeing the two of them go out of the door, Li Shimin also shook his head helplessly and smiled and said to the eldest grandson: "These two boys are already lawless, and the two of them have not pulled down their studies in the Hongwen Pavilion, but doing these things really makes people angry."

"Then you still praise them," the eldest grandson teased with a smile.

"That I also boast now, knowing that my master has been bullied and trying to fight back, the wit of these two people is worth my praise, teenagers can think of putting Wei Zheng in it as a knife, yes, it's a pity that your patriarch Sun Shunde, a person who is dozens of years old, was blinded by copper coins for greed, but in the end, it was folded in the hands of the two children, and it was not known, which makes people sigh!".
