Chapter 123: Findings
"Is everything done?" Li Su in the courtyard stood with his hands in his hands, and the cold moonlight shone on his face, shining with a layer of indifferent silver glow.
"Your Highness, everything is going well, and the city gate has not been closed all night these days, we have just found an opportunity to transport people out of the city, and now we have arranged for manpower to take care of them." The dark shadow behind Li Su bowed and replied.
"Well, then I'll rest assured, but you also have to be careful, my father will definitely send more people to investigate, and you must take care of that Miss Wu, don't treat her badly!" Li Su nodded and said, thinking of the cry of Wu's mother and daughter just now, his conscience would make him feel guilty, but thinking of the consequences of letting Wu Meiniang enter the palace, he couldn't care about it.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the results of the investigation in Chapter 123 of our next plan have also been launched, and we will soon be able to shift Your Majesty's attention to the King of Shu." The dark shadow replied very respectfully.
Hearing the words of the black shadow, Li Su slowly turned around, glanced at the other party, and then praised with a smile: "You have done a good job this time, especially in grasping some details, you are worthy of being a dirty guard back then, say hello to Mr. Yang on my behalf!" ”
Hearing Li Su's praise, the other party's excited figure was shocked, and he knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness Xie praises!" ”
Seeing the other party's reaction, Li Su nodded with satisfaction, and then advised: "You can look at the rest of the matter, I believe in your ability, and you must also cooperate with the God of Wealth, whatever information or materials you need, he will provide it to you." After Li Su finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the black shadow understood, stood up and left the courtyard, but the moment he looked up, a moonlight shone on his face, and it was clearly Yang Jiu who managed the brewery for Li Su.
Watching the other party leave, Li Su stroked the jasper ring on his finger, and was a little glad in his heart, the tyrant grandfather he had never met. Finally left something for himself, Yang Guang had four guards by his side back then, namely the death guard, the dirty guard, the financial guard, and the spy guard, and the jasper ring in his hand was called the Four Guards Ring, which was used to adjust the results of the investigation in Chapter 123 to move the tokens of the four guards.
It's a pity that with the demise of the former Sui, these four guards have long disappeared, and now there are only a few people who are loyal to the Yang family, and they have always remembered their identities as the four guards, such as the old Mr. Yang. and Yang Jiu's nominal sons and daughters. As for Wang Zihao, his situation is a bit special, and he has already confessed to Li Su last time, but every time Li Su thinks of his request. I can't help but have a headache.
Although Li Su's grasp of this secret force is not enough, but in general, it is the only force that Li Su can use at present, and in order to prevent Wu Meiniang from entering the palace, Li Su had to take a risk, and sent out this force that had just arrived and was still very weak, fortunately, because of the careful planning, and Yang Jiu and these people were both capable and skilled. It was very good under the training of that old Mr. Yang that made the whole plan implement smoothly, and it was also able to blame Li You by the way, which was like killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of Li You, Li Su couldn't help but show a sinister smile on his face, he wouldn't do anything stupid about fighting a tiger and not dying but being bitten by a tiger. Although using a tiger as a metaphor for Li You is really exalting him, the other party is a real mad dog, and if he wants to fight, he has to be punched to death, so as not to be bitten by him.
Wu Meiniang's kidnapping was deliberately suppressed by Li Shimin. Therefore, not many people in the entire Chang'an City know about it, after all, no one will care about the daughter of a declining prince. However, in the dark, Li Shimin sent more people. A series of rigorous searches were carried out.
Three days after the incident, in the confidential study room in the Liangyi Palace.
"How's it going?" Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the bookcase, asked in a deep voice.
The shadow covered in black bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, the shadow guard has begun to investigate, and has found out the march and retreat route of the captive carriage, but the other party is very cautious and did not let us get any substantive clues, but after our analysis, we found that the other party's every move has been carefully calculated, and even the route is very cleverly chosen, and there must be a special person to respond, so it can be concluded that the other party is not only very familiar with Chang'an, but also the number of people who act must be more than two, It is likely that there is a very powerful person in Chang'an behind him. ”
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and asked, "Can you find out who is behind it?" ”
"Your Majesty, among the people who meet the above conditions and are related to that Miss Wu, there are only four people, Ying Guogong, King Shu, King Qi, and Yuan Wang, and the shadow guard has secretly investigated them." The shadow said indifferently, "Well~, why do you even check on Su'er and Zhen'er?" Li Shimin's face sank, and he asked the shadow to focus on investigating Li You, and other related people couldn't let go, but he didn't expect that they even included Li Yu and Li Zhen as suspects.
"Your Majesty, the original king was at the scene of the incident, so the suspicion on him is not small. And Wu's mother and daughter have been living in the palace of King Qi, and they have a lot of contacts with King Qi, plus that Miss Wu is the same age as King Qi, so ......" The shadow stopped here and didn't plan to say any more, but the meaning was already very clear, it was nothing more than suspecting that Li Su and Wu Meiniang had any personal affairs, and did such a thing on impulse, although this conjecture was a bit outrageous, but as long as it could happen, the shadow guard would not let it go.
Li Shimin also knew the style of the shadow guard, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't blame it, he paused and asked, "What is the result of the investigation?" ”
"Your Majesty, the original king has been ruled out, first, he has no motive, and second, he does not have the strength. ,”
Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, Li Zhen was just named the original king this year, and he just turned ten years old, the palace has not been built, he has been living in the palace, and there is no manpower around him at all.
"As for King Qi, although he has this strength, according to our investigation, except for rescuing Miss Wu from the hands of the King of Shu at the beginning, and His Royal Highness meeting Miss Wu at his wedding, there is usually no contact at all, so he has no reason to kidnap Miss Wu at all, so it can also be ruled out." The shadow's analysis is very reasonable, on the surface, it is indeed impossible for Li Su to take such a big risk and kidnap an unrelated girl, but unfortunately he is not the roundworm in Li Su's stomach, so he naturally does not know that Li Su has a hundred reasons to prevent Wu Meiniang from entering the palace.
"Although the Wu brothers of the Ying Guo Mansion are not compatible with the Wu family's mother and daughter, they don't have the courage at all, so now the biggest suspicion is only one King of Shu." Hearing that the shadow finally talked about Li You's investigation results, Li Shimin was immediately shocked and stared at the shadow with attention.
"Although the King of Shu left Chang'an a few days ago, there are still some people left in the palace, we have checked these people, and found that on the day of the incident, they did not have any abnormal movements, but the team of the King of Shu is now stationed in Liangzhou, which is not far from Chang'an, and has been refusing to leave, and there is just a news from there today, it seems to be ...... It seems to have been confirmed that this matter was indeed committed by the King of Shu. Shadow finally said with some hesitation.
"What do you mean by what seems to be confirmed?" Li Shimin reprimanded a little angrily, the shadow guards have always been able to do things, and there is generally nothing to hide from them, but today they actually gave themselves such a vague answer.
"Your Majesty, just because of this incident, the people of the shadow guard did not see it with their own eyes." Ying Wei said with some embarrassment, if this matter was not too important, he would not have given such inaccurate information to Li Shimin.
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Li Shimin was also a little curious.
"Your Majesty, this happened the night before yesterday, when the King of Qi's temporary residence in Liangzhou suddenly caught fire, the house was in chaos, Liangzhou Thorn Shi originally organized people to fight the fire, but before they arrived, halfway met a girl with a cloak, when the girl saw the Thorn History, immediately shouted for help, and said that she was the daughter of Ying Guogong, was captured here by the King of Qi, took advantage of the fire to escape, wanted to ask the Thorn Shi to rescue, but as soon as the girl finished speaking, several palace guards broke in, Liangzhou Thorn Shi was timid, did not dare to offend, They could only let them take the girl. ”
"Bastard!" Hearing the shadow say this, Li Shimin couldn't hold back any longer, kicked over the bookcase in front of him, and pulled out the instrument knife on his waist and slashed it more than a dozen times. The shadow didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only retreat to the side and stand still.
After a long while, Li Shimin was probably tired of chopping, and the anger in his chest was vented a lot, so he calmed down and asked, "What happened later?" ”
When the shadow heard Li Shimin's question, he immediately stepped forward and replied: "Later, we sent someone to investigate the people who had seen the girl, but because it was dark at the time, and the girl's hair was scattered, the appearance was not very clear, but the age and body characteristics are somewhat similar to Miss Wu, but based on these alone, it is still impossible to conclude that the other party is Miss Wu." ”
"Humph! What else dare not be determined, who doesn't know that beast's temper is full of Chang'an? There is no one in the eyes of the tyrannical and domineering, and now I don't even care about me, the emperor, but I am really a good son! When Li Shimin said the last sentence, he simply gritted his teeth, and there was even a hint of murder in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, if you want the shadow guard to investigate for a while, maybe there is something hidden in it." The shadow always felt that something was wrong, although all the signs pointed to the king of Shu, but he always had a feeling of being led by the nose, which was very uncomfortable.
"Humph! No, I'll take care of it. After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand to let the shadow retreat. Although the shadow was helpless, he still bowed and retreated.
Li Shimin locked himself in the study, until someone came to report, saying that tomorrow was the day when the King of Qi left Chang'an, and Concubine Yang wanted to invite Li Shimin to visit Li Su together, which made Li Shimin wake up, and took someone to pick up Concubine Yang first, and then went to Li Su's Qi Palace!!
