Chapter 143: Waves Again

With the support of Gao Ming, the crown prince, Li Goudan's protection fee is so popular, and now he is also a little famous on Chang'an Street, even if he is wearing civilian clothes, he is very easy to be recognized when he walks on the street, and then the other party will call him "Lord Li". [Thousand ↑ Thousand △ Small ↓ Say △ Net W xQq ]

This feeling of being respected, Li Goudan feels very comfortable.

"What a good errand!"

He had said this more than the first time, and often when he said it, it was when he had just given the order to beat someone.

Under Li Goudan's "high pressure", the gangsters in Chang'an City have now converged a lot, and basically don't dare to cause any more trouble, and there are still many gangsters who can't get along in Chang'an City, so they went to Jingzhao Mansion, which is dozens of kilometers away from Chang'an City.

In this way, Chang'an City suddenly calmed down a lot.

However, such a peaceful day only lasted less than half a month before it ended, because something big happened - Li Goudan beat people to death!

The person who was killed was called Wu De, just a very ordinary ruffian, belonging to the kind of ordinary character who can't be found when thrown into the crowd, but the suspicious thing is that the timing of his appearance is very problematic!

As we all know, this time is when Li Goudan is in the limelight, and many ruffians have avoided his edge, but this Wu De just committed it to Li Goudan's hands, and then was beaten half to death.

The soldiers of the hundred cavalry guards who beat people, and it was Li Goudan who gave the order, everything was the same as before, there was nothing different, even the bruises after Zhou De was beaten were not much different from those gangsters before.

But the result was completely different, because Zhou De died not long after he returned home, and he also judged that he was killed!

Although the one who died was just an ordinary gangster, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, a person like Zhou De could only be dragged into the yamen and beaten with a dozen sticks at most, and then thrown into the prison for ten days and half a month before being released, because he would not die for his crimes.

But such a person who did not sin to death was beaten to death by Li Goudan!

If Zhou De died somewhere else, I am afraid it would not have much impact, but he died in Chang'an, at the feet of this son of heaven, so things made a big fuss.

On the night of Zhou De's death, the Criminal Department sent someone to Li Goudan's house to take him away, and interrogated him overnight, so when Li Shimin went to court the next morning, the Criminal Department Shangshu presented Li Goudan's confession to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, Weichen impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for conniving at his subordinates to kill the people on the street, this is the confession of Li Goudan of the Zhongshu Sheren, please read it Your Majesty!"

"Liu Bing, take it!"

"Yes!"

After Liu Bing picked up Li Goudan's confession, Li Shimin began to read it carefully, but as he read further, a trace of anger suddenly appeared on Li Shimin's face. Remember [Qianqian w w.x q q x o m] in one second, and provide you with wonderful reading.

"Liu Bing, you go to the East Palace to find the prince!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bing knew that Li Shimin was in a very urgent mood at the moment, so after he received the order, he trotted towards the East Palace.

At this time, Gao Ming was taking Su Wan'er and others to do radio gymnastics.

"One-two-three-four, two-two-three-four, three-two-three-four, one more time, one-two-three-four......"

Just as they were doing their best, Liu Bing stumbled in, shouting as he ran,

"Oh no...... Whew...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not good......"

Seeing that he was out of breath, Gao Ming couldn't help but smile at him.

"Haha, this prince is fine, okay, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Liu Bing shook his head.

"No...... No, it's too late, His Royal Highness the Prince, something is wrong! ”

Then, Liu Bing told Gao Ming everything he knew, and after listening to his words, Gao Ming's brows suddenly furrowed.

"You said Li Dogan killed someone?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately shook his head.

"It's impossible, that guy Li Goudan is fine, it is impossible for him to make such a mistake, and he is an official of the fifth grade, and he is still a scholar in my East Palace, as the so-called does not look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, there is no reason for the criminal department to arrest people directly without telling me, there is a problem with this matter!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing also reacted.

"What does the prince mean that someone deliberately wants to deal with him?"

As soon as Liu Bing's words fell, Gao Ming smiled again and shook his head.

"No, you look down on him, what is there to deal with as a small scholar of his middle school, I'm afraid the other party's purpose is me!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing's eyes widened suddenly, and then he gasped.

"Shhh...... Deal with your Highness, you ......"

Looking at Liu Bing's shocked appearance, Gao Ming smiled slightly, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"But it's too early to draw conclusions, since my old man asked you to call me, let's go for a trip, and when we get to the court, we will naturally understand, and even if someone wants to deal with me, it is still unknown who will kill the deer, hahahaha!"

Gao Ming laughed and walked outside, looking at Gao Ming's back, Liu Bing's face also showed a hint of a smile.

"It's really worthy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just like His Majesty fifteen years ago......"

Liu Bing still remembers that at the moment before the Xuanwumen Incident, when Li Shimin led his troops to leave the Qin Palace, he went out laughing like this, and at this time, Gao Ming's back seemed to overlap with Li Shimin fifteen years ago.

Thinking of this, Liu Bing suddenly muttered to himself.

"I'm afraid it's going to bleed again......"

When Gao Ming's back disappeared outside the courtyard, Liu Bingcai came back to his senses, he hurriedly saluted Su Wan'er, and then trotted to chase Gao Ming.

After a stick of incense, Gao Ming and Liu Bing came to the door of the main hall of the court, and in the face of everyone's surprised eyes, Gao Ming walked in with a smile on his face, came to the center of the hall and stood still, and then bowed to Li Shimin.

"Erchen has seen his father!"

Seeing that Gao Ming had arrived, Li Shimin nodded suddenly, and then handed the confession in his hand to Liu Bing.

"Show it to the prince."

"Yes!"

After Liu Bing took the confession of Li Goudan in Li Shimin's hand, he carefully held it in front of Gao Ming and handed it to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Well, thanks!"

Gao Ming nodded, picked up the white paper full of confessions, and then looked at it indifferently.

Although Gao Ming is not very good at writing traditional characters, it is not much of a problem to understand, and in less than a cup of tea, Gao Ming finished reading the entire confession.

The moment he finished reading his confession, he burst out laughing.

"Actually said that I instigated Li Goudan to kill people on the street? Haha, interesting, very interesting...... It's so interesting, hahahaha......"

Gao Ming laughed as he tore the confession in his hand to shreds, and then threw it away.

"This joke is very funny, and it has successfully amused Prince Ben, who made it? Come out, I'll give you a few pennies as a reward. ”

As he spoke, Gao Ming took out his money bag from his arms, as if he really planned to take the money out for a reward.

Seeing this scene, Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately stood up.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tore up the prisoner's confession, isn't it because he has a weak heart?"

Hearing the other party's words, Gao Ming suddenly stopped laughing, and then turned his head to look at him.

"Prisoners? Who are the prisoners? ”

"Naturally, he is a close minister of the prince, and Li Goudan, a former middle school scholar!"

Speaking of this, Shang Shuhe of the Criminal Department snorted coldly, and then turned his head to stare at Gao Ming.

"A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked this person to loot the people's wealth in Chang'an City, and if he didn't obey, he would add his fists and feet, and now he killed someone, what else does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have to say?"

At this time, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department said that he was righteous and strict, and as soon as his words fell, the surrounding ministers immediately began to discuss.

"Is this true?"

"It's appalling that there should be such a thing."

"That's it, it's ......"

Just as everyone was talking, Gao Ming laughed again.

"Hahahaha, good, good, your story is very well written, by the way, I remember that your surname seems to be Zheng, right?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Shangshu of the Criminal Department suddenly raised his chin.

"Yes, the lower official's name is Zheng Yunyin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked the name of the lower official, is he planning to take revenge on the lower official?"

As soon as his words fell, a sound of inhalation suddenly sounded around him, and Gao Ming also showed a look of horror.

"Oh, hey, don't get me wrong, Lord Zheng, I just want to know what to call you by asking your surname, I don't dare to retaliate against you, otherwise if you kill someone casually like you did with Li Goudan, and then you will arrest me in the middle of the night and take me to the criminal department, and torture me to confess, then I won't die unjustly?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head with palpitations.

"If you want to arrest someone, even if you don't have the consent of the saint, at least you have to go through the approval of Zhongshu Province, so I have to ask Lord Changsun Wuji, before Lord Zheng of the Criminal Department arrests people, can you go through the consent of Zhongshu Province?"

Hearing Gao Ming's question, Eldest Sun Wuji immediately smiled at Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it may be that you are mistaken, according to Tang Law, the Criminal Department does not need to be approved by Zhongshu Province to arrest people, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is an official of the third grade, even if it is an official of the fifth grade, he is also qualified to arrest, as long as he presents it to His Majesty as soon as possible."

The eldest grandson Wuji's words can not be described as vicious, he basically put Zheng Yunyin on the opposite side of the civil and military officials in one sentence, just imagine, how many people can there be in the entire court?

Zheng Yunyin was not a fool either, and immediately pointed at the eldest grandson Wuji with wide eyes.

"Zhao Guogong, you ......"

Before Zheng Yunyin could finish speaking, Gao Ming suddenly interrupted his words with a frightened expression.

"Oops, it turns out that I remembered it wrong, = everyone heard what I said just now, but Master Zheng can arrest whoever he wants? I don't dare to offend you, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't dare to offend you. ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the discussions of the ministers on both sides of the court became even more noisy, but this time the object was not directed at Gao Ming, but at Zheng Yunyin.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zheng Yunyin suddenly became a little anxious, and his eyes suddenly wandered to Li Tai, who was not far from him.

And at this moment when Zheng Yunyin's gaze wandered, he was just captured by Gao Ming!

"It turned out to be him!"

Looking at the familiar figure, Gao Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed.
