Chapter 213: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

"But we don't know what to do with these giants!" Chen Shi was worried.

"I don't believe it, these wealthy people have left no handle in Chang'an's lawlessness? There are no ordinary people who complain? There is no one who escapes justice? ”

Chen Shi suddenly realized.

"Pick two cases that are well known to the people of Chang'an and have a great deterrent effect on other wealthy families, and we will close the case in these two days, what to do in the future, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

Chen Shi nodded: "I understand." ”

……

Li Tao looked at the file and frowned and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to commit murder so blatantly, this is worth it!" Chen Shi, this case is so simple, why has it not been closed for more than a month? ”

Li Tao is right, the case is indeed very simple, the woman who sued is the wife of a jewelry merchant. That morning, a man named Zheng Pingfu came to their shop and wanted to buy a string of pearls for his wife, but he had to sell it to him at half the price, but the jewelry merchant naturally refused. Who knew that Zheng Pingfu was arrogant and domineering, and when he saw that the price could not be negotiated, he waved his hand and punched the jewelry merchant to the point of nosebleeds. The jewelry merchant did not show weakness and fought with Zheng Pingfu. Zheng Pingfu, who was extremely vicious, took out a dagger from his body, killed the jeweler with one sword, took the pearl necklace, and walked away as if nothing had happened.

Chen Shi smiled bitterly: "My lord, that Zheng Pingfu is the coachman in Princess Taiping's mansion, after he killed someone, he has already hid in the princess's mansion, I sent a catcher to arrest him, but he can't get in at all." Besides, even if he goes in, what can he do? If the princess is powerful. I'm afraid I'm going to run out of food and leave! ”

When Li Tao heard this, he shouted: "The prince broke the law. Same sin with the common people! If someone commits a crime in Chang'an City, if they are not investigated. How can ordinary people live? ”

"Lantian King, I know it's wrong!" Chen Shi bowed his head and said.

"That's it, that's it! It's no wonder you! Li Tao turned his head and said: "Zhang Wei, you wait here, I'll go to Princess Taiping's mansion, and when I come back, you will go and arrest that Zheng Pingfu!" ”

"Yes! Lantian King! ”

……

"Auntie!" Then I'll take my leave! Li Tao gave a salute to Princess Taiping.

"You kid, aren't you just a groom, you send someone to inform you. I'll send it directly to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion for you, and I'll make a special trip! Princess Taiping sneered.

"Auntie, the reason why I have to go through this trouble is that I have made a military order in front of Your Majesty, and I want to complete the security of the capital within a month. There are so many wealthy families in this capital, if you really want to investigate and deal with those who committed crimes one by one, I can't finish the investigation even if I am tired to death. In desperation, I came up with this trick to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, please forgive my aunt! ”

Princess Taiping sighed and said, "How could I not be considerate of you. If you were really calculated by that slut, I still feel sorry, aren't we in the same boat now? ”

"Auntie, this bitter trick must be acted!"

"I know, don't worry!" Princess Taiping nodded.

……

"Zhang Wei. You can go to Princess Taiping's Mansion to arrest people now, I don't care what method you use, you must arrest the criminals! Li Tao instructed Zhang Wei.

"Yes! I'll go now! Zhang Wei was just about to get up. As if he remembered something, he hurriedly asked, "Lantian King." Aren't you going along? ”

"What? If I don't go, you won't be able to arrest people? Li Tao asked rhetorically.

"Not really!" Zhang Wei was a little weak-hearted: "But the princess of Taiping ......"

"I still have something to do, you and Chen Shi can go together!" Li Tao stretched his waist. Stand up straight.

"Something?" Zhang Wei really couldn't understand what was more important than what was in front of him.

"Of course, I'm going back to my house and sleep!"

After that, Li Taoyang walked away, leaving only Zhang Wei and Chen Shi looking at each other.

……

When Zhang Wei came to the Taiping Princess's Mansion with the catchers, the servants in the Princess's Mansion stood in front of the mansion with arrogance, sneering at Zhang Wei, the Jingzhao Yin, and didn't take him seriously at all.

Zhang Wei wandered outside the princess's mansion for a long time, but still couldn't get in. The servants of the princess's mansion were waiting to see Zhang Wei's jokes and see how he stepped down.

Who knew that Zhang Wei was not in a hurry at all, he knew that Princess Taiping was arrogant and wanted to save face, if she behaved more respectfully, the more she looked down on herself, and he secretly said in his heart: "Since you don't let me in, then I'll wait for you to come out!" ”

Zhang Wei asked people to move a chair and sit on the street in front of the princess's mansion, patiently waiting for the murderer to appear.

Although Princess Taiping didn't take Zhang Wei in her eyes, she also heard that he was upright by nature and not afraid of power, in case he insisted on getting along with him, it would be really difficult to deal with, not to mention that his side was really at a loss. Besides, as a princess, she fights with Jing Zhaoyin, and she can't win or laugh. Or ignore him and let him retreat.

Zhang Wei stayed outside the princess's mansion for more than two hours, finding nothing, and was secretly anxious in his heart. Li Tao is still waiting for his news, how can he always spend it here.

Zhang Wei's eyes rolled, and it seemed that he could only play a little scoundrel. He turned around and entered the teahouse opposite the princess's mansion, chose a seat by the window, and drank tea, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the princess's mansion. Then he called a small catcher to him and whispered a few words. The little catcher was stunned for a moment, then laughed, turned around and left.

Not long after, on the street in front of the princess's mansion, an old man selling turtles suddenly appeared, he put the turtle on the street, tore his throat and shouted: "Sell shrunken turtles, pure shrunken turtles, if you don't believe it, you can make a bet with me, as long as anyone can make this turtle stick out its head, I will pay him ten big money!" ”

The street was paved with large bluestone slabs, and the turtle was cowering in its shell and did not move.

The old man's voice immediately aroused the interest of passers-by, no one had ever encountered such a new thing, and they all tried it, and the turtle really didn't move. The interest of everyone is higher, and the number of onlookers is increasing.

Someone shouted, "Big turtle, why haven't you come out yet?" Aren't you scared? ”

Some people also shouted: "Wang Ba is naturally timid, how can he dare to come out when he sees so many people?" ”

Princess Taiping stayed at home, and she could still hold her breath at first, but when she heard these words, her face turned green with anger.

Zhang Wei guarded in front of her mansion, and kept saying that she wanted to arrest the murderer, which had made her lose face, and now she couldn't bear it anymore, and took a large number of domestic slaves and asked Zheng Pingfu to drive the car for her, and came out of the mansion in a mighty way, and went to the palace to complain to the emperor.
