The Mansion of the Duke of Zhongwu of the State of Hubei.

"Lao Cheng, why are you free?" Wei Chigong asked.

"Da Lao Hei, do you know, my family Cheng Chumo originally went to do a big thing. The credit is not small compared to your family's Baoqi. Cheng Yanjin said happily.

Since Yu Chi Baoqi joined the special combat team, he has won four levels in a row, and then he has made great contributions to Tuyuhun with the assistance of Li Su, the king of Liang, and Cheng Chumo's position and title are lower than that of Yu Chi Baoqi. Cheng Yanjin felt unhappy, and he hadn't come to visit Wei Chigong for a while.

Yesterday, the emperor promulgated a reward for Cheng Chumo and others, and Cheng Chumo was promoted to the fourth grade. The title has also reached the first rank, which is only one level lower than his father.

Cheng Yanjin was overjoyed, so he ran over to show off to Wei Chigong.

Wei Chigong was also happy for Cheng Chumo, and he said: "Since our children followed His Royal Highness King Liang, they have made rapid progress. And they are doing great things, which is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors. The children's future is secured. ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "Da Lao Hei, we have to go and thank His Royal Highness King Liang, just go to him to fight the tooth sacrifice." ”

Wei Chigong said: "Okay, let's go today." ”

At this time, Wei Chigong's black and white ladies also said, "Master, let's go too." ”

Wei Chigong smiled: "Okay, let's go together." ”

Cheng Yanjin did not suffer a loss, and said: "In this case, I will also call my two ladies to go together." ”

Soon, they appeared in the Liang Palace.

At the banquet, the wives of the two grandfathers and princesses of the two kingdoms chatted together, and they finished eating first and returned to the back house. Only Li Su, Cheng Yanjin, Yu Chi Gong, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baoqi were left on the wine table.

Cheng Chumo said: "Have you heard? The affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace were all poked out by the King of Wei, and even the things that satisfied the evil boy last time were also poked out by the King of Wei. ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "This King Wei is too ruthless, he must have planted eyeliner in the East Palace." Only then did he accurately communicate to the emperor again and again. He and the crown prince are brothers, which is too much. ”

Wei Chigong said: "Your Highness, there has been a lot of chaos in the court recently, what do you think of these things?" ”

Li Su said: "We are our own people, I might as well tell you that this matter is not what it seems." First of all, the crown prince will not be deposed, and it will not be long before he is reinstated.

You are all old men who have followed my father for many years, and with the relationship between my father and the queen, as long as the crown prince does not rebel, his status will not change.

There must be a reason for the wind. Street rumors are not necessarily credible. If I don't expect it badly, in the near future, something big will happen, and it must be against the crown prince. ”

Cheng Yanjin said: "I see. So what attitude should we take? ”

Li Su smiled: "Do nothing, keep silent, don't express an opinion on anything, that's it." Just like now, drink and chat. ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "I will, I like this." ”

Li Su smiled: "I'm going to build an entertainment city with my uncle, I don't know if you are interested in participating in shares?" ”

Wei Chigong said: "Of course, good things are indispensable to us. ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can tell us about this entertainment city, is it different from the teaching workshop?" ”

Li Su took out a drawing and introduced the topic in detail.

The night is gentle.

Wei Wangfu.

"Someone, catch the assassin!" With a terrible shout, Li Tai, the king of Wei, covered his abdomen with his hands and fell to the ground, blood oozing from between his fingers. There was a great chaos in the palace of King Wei.

"Jingle", there was a sound of weapons clashing, and a black shadow was surrounded in the courtyard. After a fierce struggle, the Assassin was captured.

The next day, the news of the assassination of Li Tai, the king of Wei, spread throughout the city of Chang'an.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun received the report and hurriedly came to the Wei Palace.

Seeing Li Shimin and Empress Changsun coming, Li Tai, who was lying on the bed, cried and said, "Father, mother, son-in-law almost won't see you." ”

Li Shimin said: "How is the injury? ”

The imperial physician said: "His Royal Highness's abdomen was assassinated, it was one inch deep, it was very dangerous, and if it was half an inch deep and injured the internal organs, it would be difficult to treat. It's a blessing. ”

Empress Eldest Sun asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Li Tai said: "Erchen doesn't know, the assassin is going to assassinate Erchen when he comes in, if he hadn't been blocked by the maid, Erchen would have died, but unfortunately the maid died." Erchen chanted poems and painted all day long, or he was compiling "Tuodi Zhi", and he didn't offend anyone, I don't know why someone wanted to kill Erchen? ”

Li Shimin comforted Li Tai for a while and said, "Guanyin, you can accompany Tai'er." After saying that, Tie Qing walked away with a blushing face.

The Assassin was a strong man in his thirties who was imprisoned in the Criminal Department. It was presided over by Yan Liben, a squire of Li Tai's sworn friend and criminal department. The Assassin was very tight-mouthed, and he was tortured all over the place, but he just didn't admit it.

As a result, the Criminal Department sent someone to investigate and offered a reward for collecting clues.

After some time, the bounty raises again. Finally, someone provided the origin of this person.

Soon, the Criminal Department searched for melons and found some clues. The Criminal Department discovered that one of his distant cousins was working as a clerk in the Prince's Mansion. However, this bookstore has left the prince's mansion not long ago. Whereabouts unknown.

Then, in the courtyard of the Assassin's house, a secret chamber was discovered, which contained a large amount of gold and silver belongings, including gold ingots with the inscription "Inner House".

The expenses of the inner house were independent, so on the gold ingots and some utensils of the inner house, there were their own ornaments.

Now, the truth of the matter slowly points to the East Palace.

Li Shimin was furious and ordered that the assassin must be allowed to speak, and he was ready to let Ma Xuanliang's shadow take over the case.

Just then, an accident happened, and the Assassin was unable to survive the torture, and committed suicide by biting his tongue during the night. At this point, the clue was interrupted.

The rumors in Chang'an City mainly say that Li Tai, the king of Wei, sent assassins to assassinate Li Tai because he reported the crown prince.

Liang Wangfu.

Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and others all gathered together to talk about the situation in front of them.

Cheng Yanjin said: "Your Highness, you are really a god, your prophecy has only been a few days, and sure enough, something like this happened." ”

Li Xiaogong asked: "Your Highness, it is rumored that the crown prince sent someone to assassinate the king of Wei in order to take revenge on the king of Wei, what do you think?" ”

Li Su asked rhetorically: "Do you believe this?" ”

Hou Junji said: "I think it's possible, the prince is very interested in that satisfaction, and it is said that the emperor personally saw him worship the evil boy, which made him grounded." The king of Wei informed the emperor of the satisfactory matter, which led to the death of the evil boy. The prince has a reason for holding a grudge. ”

Wei Chigong said: "I think that the identity of the assassin has been ascertained, and it has something to do with the East Palace. ”

Li Su smiled: "These are all heard. Even if you see it with your own eyes, you may not be trusted.

I dare to assert that this was not the Prince's doing. ”
