Outside the palace, at the gate of Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

Chengxin and Xie Ziwen quarreled when they went out, and their momentum became louder and louder, so that people couldn't help but stop and listen to a few words.

"What do you have to do with a few of them, can these children do good deeds? Now that the people are missing, how do you ask me to explain to their families! He roared hoarsely.

Xie Ziwen said with a nonchalant face: "This is Chang'an City, not a poor countryside, you think you will be killed by robbers, but it is a few children who are greedy for fun, and they took the money to go to the Qinglou." ”

The voice of satisfaction became louder and louder, "How do you ask me to explain to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves the people like a son, not to mention that this is to do things for him and help him promote pork to the people." ”

The crowd of onlookers became more and more, and many people recognized that Chengxin was the owner of the Mickey Restaurant, listening to their conversation, it was also embarrassing, the disappearance of several young people was not a trivial matter, but Xiangxin and Xie Ziwen did not mention King Wu of Wei at all, just repeated these words, and the onlookers gradually dispersed, but this matter did spread in the city.

In the palace, Li Chengqian limped in front, and behind him, Brother Liang was carrying a subordinate in each hand, and the two subordinates were already frightened when they heard the palace guards kneeling down and calling the prince, and there was always a watermark behind Brother Liang at this time.

All the way unimpeded until the inner palace, the guards were asked to report that the prince had something to do.

It was not the familiar old eunuch or Li Junxian who came out to greet him, but Li Ke, the king of Wu, "The eldest brother is here, what's the matter, my second brother and I are playing chess and drinking tea with my father!" ”

Li Chengqian followed Li Ke's steps towards the inner palace, and was also a little surprised when he heard Li Ke's words, "King Wei is also there?" He doesn't repair his books, what do you do in the palace! ”

Li Ke couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and only after calming down his mind did he say: "Father ordered the second brother to check the pheasant slave's article, isn't it just that he went to the pavilion to play chess and rest." But I don't know what is going on with my eldest brother, who are these two people behind him? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and stopped talking, his mind was like a puddle of paste, he knew that it was impossible for King Wei to kill people in the street, but his subordinates disappeared near King Wei's mansion and he didn't say anything, I was afraid that it would chill them, since King Wei was also in the palace, then let's confront each other, and we will know who is right and who is wrong.

Walking through the high steps, Li Chengqian's heart became more and more unconfident, at this time Li Chengqian was no longer angry when he entered the palace just now, thinking carefully about the beginning and end of this matter, and finally he sighed and whispered to Brother Liang: "We didn't find the body, presumably there is no way to convict the King of Wei, pay attention to not crashing into the emperor when you speak." ”

Brother Liang also calmed down at this time, and some regretted entering the palace in such a hurry, at this time, the two people in his hands were no longer the evidence of his own testimony against King Wei, but the handle of King Wei's counterattack.

On the pavilion on the high platform, Li Shimin was playing chess with Li Tai, Li Junxian was standing aside, and the old eunuch was also waiting on the left and right, and when he saw Li Chengqian and a few people coming over, Li Shimin said: "What is the prince's so-called, why is he anxiously coming at this hour!" ”

Li Tai also looked at Li Chengqian, and suddenly saw the two people in Brother Liang's hands and said in surprise: "What is Big Brother doing, how did you arrest the people in my house!" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he also put down the chess pieces in his hand, glanced at Li Junxian, and sighed when he saw Li Junxian shaking his head, thinking that his ears and eyes were closed to such a scene now, the establishment of a hundred horsemen was imperative, and he had to speed up his pace!

"Tell the prince quickly, what the hell is going on!" Li Shimin is not angry but mighty.

Li Chengqian also knelt down to give a salute before he slowly stood up and said, "Father Qi, the people under the sons of the ministers have been promoting this pork recently, and the emperor must know about it!" ”

Li Shimin was a little impatient, "If you have something to say, what does it have to do with the people of the Wei Wangfu at this time, how can you still catch people in the palace!" ”

King Wei was also aggrieved and said: "Why is the eldest brother doing this!" ”

Li Chengqian saw that he was afraid that he would not be able to hide from this posture, so he said: "Yesterday morning, the three men under Erchen transported pork into the city, because the road was not smooth, detoured to the side of the Wei Wangfu, and then disappeared for two whole days, and no one has been seen until now, Instructor Liang found blood stains next to the Wei Wangfu, and Erchen also followed the past to check, and found that the people of the Wei Wangfu were cleaning up the bloodstains, and the Erchen was afraid that he did not know where to provoke the King of Wei, which made the King of Wei kill him. ”

Brother Liang also knelt down and said: "Enlighten the saint, what the prince said is true, and please ask the saint to be the master!" ”

Li Shimin was also a little angry when he heard this, and patted the table and looked at King Wei, "Does King Wei have such a thing?" ”

Li Tai also knelt on the side, "Father, the son is panicking, the son doesn't know where this matter came from, and he asked my father to let me ask the two subordinates of my family!" ”

Li Shimin also nodded, and then said, "I want to ask more!" ”

Only then did Li Tai stand up and walk to the two subordinates lying on the ground, "You two tell me whether what the prince said is timely, don't lie!" ”

One of the subordinates slowly raised his head when he saw King Wei coming, "His Royal Highness King Wei, at noon today, the housekeeper asked us to go to the side door to clean, and we went out and saw a large pool of bloodstains, and it took a lot of effort to clean it, at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince descended from the sky and captured the two of us in the palace, we don't know anything!" ”

Li Chengqian was relieved when he heard these two subordinates say this, at least these two people didn't dare to lie and deceive others, and his own statement was also tenable.

Li Shimin also heard the words of these two subordinates, looked at Li Tai on the side and said, "Is there anything else King Wei wants to explain?" What a great ability to kill people on the street! ”

Li Tai immediately knelt down, "My father is angry, and my sons don't know about it, my sons lived in the palace the day before yesterday to tutor the pheasant slaves in their homework, and my father should think about it more." ”

Li Shimin looked at the old eunuch on the side, and when he nodded, he remembered that Li Tai had lived in the palace for the past few days, and he hadn't gone back at all, how could he instruct his subordinates to kill people, and looked at Li Chengqian on the side and said: "King Wei has indeed lived in the palace recently and has never left the palace, and the prince still has to investigate clearly, Li Junxian, go and call the housekeeper of the Wei Palace!" ”

Li Junxian left quickly, Li Chengqian didn't expect that King Wei would not be in the mansion for a few days, so he said cautiously: "Erchen thought that King Wei had always disliked pork, and Erchen's subordinates rushed into the person in charge of Wei Wangfu when they pulled pork and passed by King Wei's mansion, so they killed the killer!" ”

Not to be outdone, Li Tai said on the side: "Big brother, it's better to be cautious when you speak, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say the killer so hastily!" ”

King Wu also coaxed on the side, "Isn't it that the crown prince has already found the bodies of those people?" How many people have died? ”

Li Shimin also looked at Li Chengqian, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Li Shimin also thought of the most critical place, so he had to say obediently: "The corpse was not found, but the bloodstains will not be faked, so a large pool of bloodstains is at the side door of the Wei Wangfu, and the words of these two subordinates also corroborate all this." ”

King Wu couldn't help but sneer: "Big brother, I'm afraid that if it wasn't for the few people you accepted to go to which restaurant to linger, big brother is making a big fuss!" ”

Li Tai also added fuel to the fire and said: "It is best for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to speak with evidence, although this matter is just a quarrel between our own family members, and at worst, it is a framing of important ministers of the court!" ”

Li Chengqian also said hatefully: "What kind of important minister of the court are you, if you are missing, I am afraid that the entire court will be a little better!" ”

Li Shimin looked at the three brothers mocking each other and was a little impatient, and slapped the chessboard with his big hand, "Enough, you three shut up for me, wait for Li Junxian to come back, Liang Qiang, you take these two people down!" ”

Li Shimin's eyes were full of strange glances when he looked at Brother Liang, but the few people kneeling down didn't notice it.

Li Junxian's speed was still very fast, although he took a fat housekeeper, he still returned to the palace quickly.

Li Tai saw that his housekeeper didn't care about the three seven twenty-one and gave two feet, "Tell me what bad things you have done, and you actually provoked the eldest brother to come to sue in front of the emperor!" ”

The kneeling housekeeper was also rolling on his head, Li Shimin couldn't help coughing when he looked at the clumsy acting skills of the two: "The prince can go and ask, if this old man dares to kill people with the reputation of King Wei, he will not be spared!" ”

The housekeeper knelt on the ground and said before Li Chengqian could ask: "Kill, I didn't kill anyone!" ”

Li Chengqian also stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter with the bloodstains outside King Wei's mansion!" How could there be such a big pool of blood! ”

The housekeeper didn't dare to speak, and raised his head to look at King Wei on the side.

King Wei also hated and said: "Tell the truth, look at what I have done!" ”

The housekeeper said: "The morning before yesterday, I went out at the side door, and I met a group of three people pulling a cart of pork, and the smell of blood was overwhelming!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Chengqian spoke: "So you killed the three of them?" ”

The butler was terrified, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say, I didn't kill them." ”

Li Shimin also looked at Li Chengqian, sighed, and said in his heart, "It's not okay to be so breathless, "Come on!" ”

King Wei also gave the housekeeper a kick, "Grind again and send you to see your wife!" ”

The housekeeper then said: "Although the cart of pork is full of taste, I still remembered the teachings of King Wei a few days ago, bought his cart of pork, and then gave them money and sent them away." ”

Li Chengqian didn't believe it when he listened to the housekeeper's words, "You buy pork in the Wei Palace?" Who can believe this? Who doesn't know that the King of Wei is talking about inferior people who eat pork, and you are now telling me that you buy pork in the Wei Palace? ”

King Wei also knelt down on the side and said: "The eldest brother is punishing his heart when he is young, frivolous and ignorant, but no one is a sage, and the younger brother also ate this pork with his father at noon today, and it tastes delicious!" Please also ask my father to testify for me! ”

Li Shimin also nodded on the side, "Yes, at noon today, King Wei and I ate Dongpo pork and sweet and sour pork ribs from Mickey King's Restaurant!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't know what to say, so he had to say in a daze, "Then, where did the few of them go?" ”
