Chapter 21: A Breakthrough Strategy

Di Renjie smiled mysteriously and continued.

"In Chang'an City, everyone knows that Pingkangfang is the property of His Royal Highness King Yong, but few people know that this Pingkangfang was the property of Zhou Guogong before, and then somehow, Zhou Guogong gave Pingkangfang to His Royal Highness King Yongwang, and over the years, although His Royal Highness Yongwang has been keeping Pingkangfang, but the people who really take care of Pingkangfang have not changed, and they are still a group of people arranged by Zhou Guogong."

"Helan Minzhi?"

Li Hong was a little irritable, how could everything have something to do with this thing.

"That's right, most of the guys in Pingkangfang don't know about this, and they are usually not allowed to enter the backyard, only the shopkeeper and a dozen people named the courtyard are involved in this case, and the shopkeeper is Zhou Guogong's house slave!"

"This damn bastard even dares to take advantage of Lone's younger brother!"

Li Hong angrily dropped the cup in his hand.

What is he Helan Minzhi doing this for? Of course, it was to cover himself, so he gave Pingkangfang to Li Xian, it was strange that it was just a restaurant, and the large and small forces in Chang'an City knew that it was Li Xian's industry, and Helan Minzhi just wanted to borrow Li Xian's name to do that dirty business.

Perhaps this Pingkangfang is so famous in Chang'an City, it is not the news that Helan Minzhi deliberately spread.

"Your Highness is calm, although this case is urgent, but the stakes are very high, Your Highness's top priority is to explain to Your Majesty!"

Old man Zhang listened to Li Hong and Di Renjie's questions and answers inexplicably, and was a little confused, although this case is big, Li Hong should be more concerned about his own situation.

It was Zhang Wenjun who listened for a while, a little breathless, and said.

"Hehe, Master Zhang doesn't have to worry!"

Hearing that the matter did not involve Li Xian, Li Hongan calmed down and comforted.

At this moment, the little chamberlain had already cleaned up the cup that Li Hong had dropped, and changed a cup of tea, Li Hong picked up the tea, took a sip, and continued.

"This matter is not as serious as adults imagined, what adults are worried about is nothing more than beating the sixth brother alone, and teaching Helan Minzhi a lesson, which will make the father and queen mother angry, if there is a villain to provoke it, it will inevitably make the father and queen mother impulsive, do you think so?"

"This ...... Be! ”

Old man Zhang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

That's true, what do you say about returning to Beijing without permission and bullying others, these charges are all false, whether they are punished or not, and how to punish them are all in the emperor's thoughts.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the emperor, this is just the prince's impulsive act because of the assassination, and even if the punishment is not too severe, it can't shake Li Hong's foundation.

The really terrible Helan Minzhi and Li Xian, Li Hongqian shouldn't have hurt them personally, and when this matter reached the ears of the emperor, they would only think that Li Hong was lawless, and he didn't even care about the prince and the prince of Qinfeng.

They would never allow anyone to provoke the royal majesty in such a way, let alone the crown prince!

"These two things, it is not difficult to solve, although the case of Pingkangfang is not the mastermind of the sixth brother, but after all, under the protection of the sixth brother, no one dares to move in Pingkangfang, although Lone scolded the sixth brother, but first, he was angry at the time, and it was inevitable to act recklessly, and secondly, Lone was also regarded as disciplining the younger brother on behalf of his father and queen mother, and this matter should be fine!"

Li Hong lowered his head and said slowly.

But it is indeed this principle, if it is played like this, it can be considered reasonable, Zhang Wenqian nodded, and then asked.

"Then how will His Highness deal with the affairs of Zhou Guogong?"

Hearing Helan Minzhi's name, a trace of disgust flashed in Li Hong's eyes, and he said with a little embarrassment.

"Lord Zhang doesn't have to worry about this matter, although Helan Minzhi is favored, he is sure that his father and queen mother will not dispose of Yu Gu because of him!"

You must know that when the Yang family committed suicide, Empress Wu did not give Li Hong an explanation until now because she was afraid of publicizing the royal scandal.

Why he, Li Hong, was so excessive to Helan Minzhi, others don't know, but Li Zhi and Empress Wu know it clearly, as long as he mentions it a little in the twists and turns, I'm afraid that the emperor and queen can only turn a blind eye to Helan Minzhi's beating.

But this is not something that can be said to Zhang Wenjun, what happened back then, after all, is not a glorious thing, not to mention that the Empress Wu is afraid that this matter will spread and damage the royal face, so she will take Helan Minzhi lightly.

However, seeing Zhang Wenjun's look of disbelief, Li Hong had no choice but to snort.

"What's more, Lord Zhang looks at Lone's body bones, that is, he can do it himself, and he can beat people heavily, if Lone can beat the two of them seriously with his own hands, my father and queen mother will not believe it!"

Li Hong even said this kind of thing, Zhang Wenqian naturally didn't want to continue to investigate, but as long as he was okay with His Royal Highness King Yong, even if the queen felt that Zhou Guogong had lost face, and the prince was still protected by His Majesty, there should be no big deal, at most it would be a grounding and reprimand such a punishment.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Wenqian also put his mind at ease and said with a little regret.

"Although the words are so, but His Royal Highness's move is still worth the loss, and now the people in the city are saying that His Highness has become a little violent, and the old minister will reveal His Highness's revelation of Pingkangfang, which can be regarded as saving a little prestige for His Highness!"

Li Hong sighed secretly, this old comrade Zhang has really been engaged in criminal work for a long time, and his political sense of smell is not sensitive enough.

However, you can't blame Old Man Zhang, after all, although he is one of the Jiuqing, he is not in the center, so naturally he can't deal with the twists and turns of Dai Zhide every day, and he has a clear insight into the situation of the court.

In his current situation, prestige is not a necessity, and too high prestige will arouse the vigilance of Empress Wu and even Li Zhi.

So when he heard Zhang Wenjun's bad idea, Li Hong hurriedly stopped him.

"Well, this Pingkangfang case is entrusted to the blessing of the father and queen mother, how dare you be greedy for merit, and besides, the clear person is self-purifying, if Lord Zhang is so deliberate, it seems that he is lonely and famous, not a gentleman's trip!"

To put it mildly, Li Hongcai dispelled Old Man Zhang's unreliable idea.

After all, the mastermind behind this case is very likely to be Helan Minzhi, if Di Renjie can come up with evidence, Li Hong's guilt for beating He Lanminzhi will be much less.

In the final analysis, Zhang Wenqian was still worried that the Empress Wu would feel embarrassed and punish Li Hong.

It made Li Hong feel guilty for not being able to tell him the truth for a moment.

Zhang Wenjun, as the secretary of Dali Temple, is naturally busy with official business, and there are countless case files waiting for his approval every day, so naturally he has no time to continue to delay here, so after making sure that Li Hong will not be severely punished, Zhang Wenqian hurried back to Dali Temple.

What's more, Old Man Zhang is not very sensitive to politics, but he doesn't have no eyesight, Di Renjie had to follow him to meet the prince this morning, obviously he had something to report, and he left with the old man's own knowledge.

Seeing Zhang Wenjun leaving, Di Renjie took a step forward, glanced at Jiu Ge behind Li Hong, and said a little hesitantly.

"Your Highness, don't you retreat ......left and right first?"
