Chapter 169: Do You Have Proof?
The whole study was silent for a long time.
In the end, it was Li Jing who broke the silence.
With a slight admiration in his eyes, he looked at Lu Heng.
"Good boy, the old man didn't mistake you."
"Today's matter, in fact, the old man has already got some news, which can corroborate with your speculation."
"According to the current news, there is the shadow of the Xingyang Zheng family behind this matter, which is a sure thing."
Lu Heng was stunned.
Zheng?
Jung In-tae really has something to do with this matter!
In fact, his guess just now was just a casual remark.
After all, Lu Heng has only been in Datang for a few months, and during this period, he has not made enemies other than the five surnames and Qiwang - of course, Xiao Yu is different from jumping out halfway.
Moreover, after learning the fate and culpability of the arson in Beijing from He De's mouth, he was already convinced of one thing.
With Xiao Yu's character who cares so much about reputation, it is impossible for the matter of smashing a store on the street to be recorded in history and widely circulated, at most, it is to lose some money, so that the people of Chang'an can talk for a while.
But if he really set the fire, I'm afraid that the arrogant and arrogant reputation of the Lanling Xiao clan will spread throughout the government and the opposition!
Even, Xiao Yu himself is the current patriarch of the Lanling Xiao clan, once something happens to him, the Xiao family has not yet been able to top the beam, if this is planted, it is estimated that he will not be able to climb up.
The family's focus on reputation was circled by Li Jing before.
Lu Heng remembered it and engraved it into his lungs.
But he was still curious and asked:
"General Li, how did you know that this matter was related to the Zheng family?"
"It stands to reason that this kind of secrecy should not reach the ears of others in a short period of time."
Li Jing picked up the tea bowl and smiled.
Cheng Yanjin next to him sighed:
"What about General Li...... Old man, it's more appropriate to call him Li Lao Thief! ”
"Just now, I just arrived at the door, and I met him and sent the leader of the Tiger Head Gang out of the house."
"These news, the gangs are probably more clear than the imperial court, this Pharmacist Li knew the cause and effect as early as when the incident just happened!"
Lu Heng was dumbfounded.
He now realized why Li Jing was so well-informed.
With a big brother who carries the handle underground in Chang'an City, it is even more difficult for Li Jing to be deaf and blind!
But I heard Li Jing shake his head and smile:
"It's not difficult to say this, if the court really wants to, it can do it."
"It's just that the advantage of the Tiger Head Gang is that they have their manpower everywhere in Chang'an City, and they have a good relationship with the Forbidden Army Street Envoys, and they are even more familiar with the most undesirable people."
"When there are more people, there are more eyes."
"Before the accident happened today, a helper reported to my eldest brother that Zheng Rentai ran to the mansion of Song Guogong, still holding the newspaper from your bookstore, and he was in a hurry, looking very panicked."
"It is conceivable that when Xiao Yu appeared in the newspaper, it must have been Zheng Rentai who went to report the news."
"From this, it's not hard to draw conclusions."
Everyone was convinced.
Even Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, who were known as the heads of Li Shimin's advisers, shook their heads with sighs at this time.
In terms of strategy, they are not bad.
But when it comes to these heart-wrenching means, they still can't compare to this Tang Army God after all!
However, it was this shaking of the head that Lu Heng noticed them.
The others, he was quite familiar with.
Li Jing and his wife, Cheng Yanjin, and Qin Qiong, needless to say, are all people who have a deep relationship with themselves.
As for Li Daozong, who only had a one-sided relationship, the only time they met, they were also taken to Lu's house by Li Jing to help him get rid of the charge.
Moreover, these people are all considered military generals.
Alone Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji, Lu Heng is very unfamiliar, and even a little precautionary!
Accustomed to dealing with outspoken generals, he now dislikes Wenchen more and more, especially when he encounters a stinky stone like Xiao Yu.
They...... Why is it here?
seemed to notice Lu Heng's eyes, and Cheng Yanjin next to him took the initiative to explain.
"Oh, Lu Heng, you are not very familiar with Xuanling and Wuji, the old man will introduce it to you."
"I brought them here today because of the bookstore."
"After all, Xiao Yu and them are both civil officials, and they are both prime ministers, if the matter is not resolved well, I am afraid it will affect the reputation of the court and civil officials in the hearts of the people."
"Brother Wuji is the brother of the queen's mother, and he is also the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness almost had an accident today, and he is also very anxious to find out the murderer as soon as possible."
At this time, He pulled Lu Heng's sleeve.
He added in the boy's ear in a very low voice:
"Fang Gong's wife is from the Fanyang Lu family, but the Lu family is much more honest than other families, and he shouldn't want his wife's maiden family to be involved."
After bilateral explanations, Lu Heng finally came to his senses!
That's a little too fucking round!
The eldest grandson Wuji was almost invisible in the court before, no different from Li Jing who told the old man, and quietly became an invisible person.
But now he suddenly appeared, just because his own nephew was almost killed, and his nephew was still the crown prince, how could he still sit still?
Li Chengqian and Li Tai are both nephews, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, so the eldest grandson Wuji is invisible, and he doesn't want to mix with the two of them fighting for positions at all.
But the severity of the matter is beyond imagination.
Once Li Chengqian really has an accident, no one can afford Li Shimin's anger!
Fang Xuanling is better explained.
Like Cheng Yanjin, the wives of both of them are from the fifth surname Qiwang, so they are even more anxious to find out about this matter.
Regardless of whether these two families are behind the scenes, at the very least, they can prove that the one in their house has nothing to do with the bookstore arson!
Lu Heng silently looked at the two bigwigs with serious expressions in front of him.
He was even more firm in his heart -
If you don't enter the court, you really made the most correct choice you have ever made!
Even if he is a traverser, in the face of this group of old and sophisticated guys, the information difference advantage of the traverser is of no use at all.
A low rank is a low rank.
Even if a rookie turns on the perspective hanging, it is impossible to beat a professional player who has been in a hundred battles.
Moreover, Lu Heng's understanding of Datang is only better than nothing!
Half a day.
Lu Hengcai said quietly:
"So, big guys......"
"Who do you think did this?"
"If everyone thinks that the murderer is Zheng Rentai, then I will pick up a knife to cut him now, and Your Majesty should not blame me in the future."
Everyone's faces froze.
Hold the grass!
Is this kid starting again?!
Cheng Yanjin hurriedly pressed Lu Heng's hand and said continuously:
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"
"There are still many mysteries in this matter that have not yet been solved, and the old man thinks that it is better to find out step by step."
"Ten days, enough time to find out and let His Majesty take action in person!"
