Chapter 270: The East Palace Case, Begin!

When Lin Feng heard Li Shimin's words, he raised his head suddenly, his face full of astonishment.

He thought that Li Shimin would give him an answer such as "excellent ability to solve cases", but he never thought that Li Shimin would say that "the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only rest assured of him".

What a special phrase! Lin Feng believed that once this sentence spread, it would definitely cause the shock of hundreds of officials in the imperial court! His status in the imperial court will also be completely different from before, he used to be an excellent Dali Temple, and then he will be His Majesty's favorite minister, and the court is an upstart.

Of course, while he is in the limelight, he will also become the object of envy and hatred of all officials, his attention will be unprecedented, and his crisis will be unprecedented.

Li Shimin's words are enough to change the trajectory of his life.

But soon, Lin Feng reacted from his astonishment, and quickly understood the reason why Li Shimin said this.

As a person who has just come to the Tang Dynasty for a few months, why did he overpower the eldest grandson Wuji?

The answer is precisely because he has only been in the Tang Dynasty for a few months...... Li Shimin said that he was clean, not that he was white, but that he had the cleanest background and the cleanest background, and that he did not have a complex network of relationships, complex forces, and complex entanglements of interests like other officials, and he was so clean that Li Shimin could see through himself at a glance.

That's why he said he trusted himself the most...... And this also means that Li Chengqian's coma makes Li Shimin suspicious of every court official, or rather, it is the faction to which these officials belong that makes Li Shimin suspicious.

In this way...... Could it be that Li Shimin didn't doubt Li Tai? Otherwise, Li Shimin should only be angry with Li Tai, and not believe in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Xuanling!

Lin Feng's mind was full of thoughts, and he instantly analyzed what Li Shimin was thinking from Li Shimin's words, but he didn't show any abnormality, and hurriedly said: "How can the minister be so virtuous, can he be so trusted by His Majesty." ”

But Li Shimin thought too much...... Not to mention that Lin Feng had a reason why he couldn't refuse, just talking about Lin Feng's personality, it was impossible for him to let go of such a complicated and unpredictable case.

No wonder Li Shimin specifically said "I trust myself the most" in the front, is this because he is afraid that he will be frightened, and then refuse?

"Lin Feng, I only have one request for you......"

Li Shimin looked at the eagerness in Lin Feng's eyes, and rarely showed a smile, he nodded and said, "I know that you are different from others, others are afraid of trouble and push back, and you can't wait to get into the case immediately." ”

Li Shimin looked at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice: "You have a bottom line, principles, vision, foresight, and a talent for investigating cases that others can't match, which is enough to make me have full trust in you." ”

I'm afraid that Li Shimin already has doubts in his heart, and the object of Li Shimin's suspicion is probably not low!

At the same time, Li Shimin did not allow him to leak any news of the case to the outside world, and specifically pointed out that Xiao Yu was not good...... Does this mean that Li Shimin is suspicious of Xiao Yu, or is the identity of the person he suspects sensitive? Or does Li Shimin have deeper considerations?

The authority that Li Shimin gave him was far higher than the authority he could have in his current official position, what did this mean, how could Lin Feng not know?

With a brush, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

The gentleman is unpredictable, Rao is Lin Feng knows countless people, and he doesn't dare to say that he can completely peek into Li Shimin's heart.

"But I also know that this case is difficult, so I won't let you bear huge pressure in vain, I promise you that as long as you can solve this case, you will be the next Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

His dark eyes flashed with the essence of eagerness, and he bowed directly to Li Shimin, and said, "The minister will do his best to find out the truth and live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

But no matter what the reason is, Li Shimin's explanation is enough to prove that the things involved behind the current case are absolutely terrifying.

Although he knew that he could solve the Donggong case, and the position of Shaoqing was a certainty, but after all, it was just his own speculation, and now, Li Shimin directly gave a promise.

Lin Feng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Li Shimin's words.

Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and after the previous words were finished, Li Shimin did not delay any longer, and said: "The next case of the prince's coma will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

Both understood that the other knew the real reason, but neither showed it.

He doesn't like mediocrity, the more difficult the case, the more cunning the enemy, the more excited he is, and only such cases and enemies can make him really and completely let go of his hands and feet.

"I give you the highest authority, in the process of investigating this case, you can use any force, even if it is the Qianniuwei outside, it is all at your disposal, and at the same time...... If you find anyone, whether it is a relative of the emperor or a prince or general, as long as there is a problem, you can arrest him. ”

Li Shimin looked at Lin Feng with deep eyes, and his voice was slow but with a majesty that was not angry and arrogant: "Any news about this case is not allowed to be leaked to the outside world, even if it is Xiao Yu, you can't tell it." ”

Lin Feng naturally showed that he was flattered, and once again expressed his loyalty to Li Shimin.

This means that even in the process of investigating the case by themselves, no matter how much effort they make and how much relationship and strength they use, it will not have any impact on the final result.

Li Shimin directly gave himself a reassurance, so that he would not be affected by foreign objects.

He hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will not let Your Majesty down." ”

Li Shimin nodded with a smile and said, "Go and check, I will give you seven days, within seven days you can find out who killed the prince in a coma, and after seven days, you will take the position of Shaoqing." ”

Lin Feng nodded hurriedly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

After that, Lin Feng didn't delay any longer, and directly saluted and retired.

Leaving the main hall, Lin Feng stood on the steps, looking at the East Palace that was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and let out a long breath, his face was rarely very solemn.

This case may be more difficult and dangerous than he originally expected.

Originally, this case was used by the Four Elephants Organization against him, and he was already mentally prepared, but now it seems that he still underestimated this case.

Li Shimin directly took out the position of Shaoqing, saying that it sounds good, it is called motivating himself, and if it is not good, it is called trading.

exchanged the truth of the case for the Shaoqing of the fourth grade.

How precious the fourth grade Shaoqing is, you can know from Xiao Yu and the eldest grandson Wuji who fought in person, and everything in this world is always equivalent exchange, Li Shimin can take out the position of Shaoqing to exchange the truth, which is enough to show that in Li Shimin's opinion, the difficulties and dangers he encountered in this case are not as easy as fighting for the position of Shaoqing.

What secrets are hidden in this case, and what does Li Shimin know, so that he will make such a judgment on the difficulty of this case...... Also, in addition to targeting me, the Four Elephants Organization is leading the prince coma case, what purpose does it want to achieve? ”

Lin Feng's thumbs and forefingers rubbed lightly, and his brain quickly turned at this moment.

"Li Shimin really wanted me to find out the truth, but he didn't give me any advice...... He has been closed to the East Palace for almost two days, it is impossible that he has not done anything, he must have investigated a lot of things, but he has not told me the information he has found, why don't you share this information with me? ”

Lin Feng only felt that Li Shimin's behavior just now was a little strange, obviously Li Shimin was eager to know the truth, but he didn't share clues with him, and he didn't help himself save time, from this point of view, Li Shimin didn't seem to be so eager.

Why does Li Shimin behave in such a seemingly contradictory manner?

He looked at the East Palace illuminated by the bright sun, and only felt that the East Palace in front of him was more foggy than yesterday's palace, and it seemed that the clear sunlight was also blurred.

"This case is really mysterious, and I'm really getting more and more interested in it."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and gathered his chaotic thoughts, the most important thing now is to investigate the case, as long as he can find clues, find evidence, find a breakthrough, and find out the truth...... Then all the secrets behind this will naturally be actively presented in front of your eyes.

But where do you find a breakthrough?

Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded: "The last general Qianniu is preparing for Li Zhen, and I have seen Lin Sizheng." ”

Lin Feng followed the sound and saw a young burly man wearing a thousand oxen armor, clasping his fists and saluting.

Qianniuwei is equivalent to Li Shimin's personal soldiers, so even if the grade of the subordinate Qianniu is not high, it also has a very special status, which is an existence that officials dare not despise.

And it is precisely because of the particularity of Qianniu Bei that those who can hold this position are mostly trustworthy after their achievements, or military attaches trained by the royal family since childhood, not to mention Qianniu Beishen, and even the most ordinary Qianniu Wei can't be the most ordinary Qianniu Wei.

The Qianniu in front of him prepares Li Zhen, who is after the meritorious service, his father is Li Tao, who has made great achievements, and is the only person in the Tang Dynasty who can be called Li Jing.

"It turned out to be Li Qianniu." Lin Feng smiled and arched his hand, Qianniu Beishen is also referred to as Qianniu, he is very appropriate to call Li Qianniu.

Li Zhen's face was resolute, and he spoke calmly and orderly, and said: "Your Majesty ordered the last general to cooperate with Lin Sizheng to investigate the case, and Lin Sizheng can directly say to the last general if he has any orders, no matter what, the last general will do it for Lin Sizheng." ”

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, it seemed that Li Zhen was specially prepared by Li Shimin...... Li Zhen is a thousand cows and is still the eldest son of Li Tao, who can not only represent Li Shimin's will, but also have his father's cover, let Li Zhen cooperate with him, it is indeed this Chang'an City, there is no one who cannot be investigated, and there is no person who cannot be arrested.

He smiled and nodded: "Then there will be Lao Li Qianniu next." ”

Li Zhen shook his head, spoke with a straight look, and said, "Where the responsibility is, it should be." ”

Although he had just come into contact with Li Zhen, Lin Feng had already understood Li Zhen through a few words.

Li Zhen should be the same as Wei Zheng, he belongs to the kind of person who speaks and does things and abides by the rules, and when he gets along with this kind of person, some people may think that they are very boring and do not know how to be flexible, but Lin Feng likes such people very much.

Such a person is straightforward in his heart, he has one thing to say, two things to say, and he will never do one thing in front of him and one thing behind his back, at such a critical moment in the investigation of the case, Lin Feng is more at ease with a person like Li Zhen.

At this moment, Zhao Fifteen and Zhao Xieyang are not there, although Sun Fujia will come to assist him, but Sun Fujia is not young after all, and Sun Fujia can't directly help him do many things, and now with Li Zhen cooperating with him, it can be regarded as making up for Zhao Fifteen's shortcomings, so that his squad can still be formed.

He smiled, pondered for a moment, and said, "Can I go and see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he directly got out of the way in front of him and said, "Lin Temple is here, please." ”

There is no nonsense, just do what you say, it is really a bit of Wei Zheng's characteristics...... Lin Feng followed Li Zhen and walked quickly to the backyard.

With Li Zhen's leadership, the Qianniu guards along the way finally stopped staring at him with cannibalistic eyes, and Lin Feng was able to move forward unimpeded.

"Li Qianniu, I don't know where the guards and palace maids and eunuchs in the East Palace have gone?" As Lin Feng walked, he asked Li Zhen about the current situation in the East Palace.

Li Zhen answered all the questions and said: "There have been two accidents in the East Palace in just one month, Your Majesty is furious, thinking that the people in the East Palace have not fulfilled their duties, and now they are not sure who killed His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone in the East Palace is suspicious, so His Majesty ordered that everyone be arrested, and now they are all locked up in a prison, guarded by Qianniuwei, and no one can approach them." ”

As I expected...... Lin Feng was not surprised, judging from Li Shimin's attention to Li Chengqian, Li Shimin did not cut off these people in a fit of anger, he felt that these people had a good life and met a Ming Jun, but whenever he met other emperors, these people's heads might have fallen to the ground.

"In other words, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell into a coma, except for you Qianniuwei, these people in the East Palace have not been in contact with any outsiders?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

Li Zhen nodded: "That's right, as soon as the prince fell into a coma, the guards of the East Palace blocked the East Palace first, and when His Majesty knew the situation, he ordered us Qianniu Wei to take over all the security of the East Palace, and at the same time arrest everyone in the East Palace, so they have no chance to leave the East Palace, let alone contact with outsiders." ”

This is good news, if the person who made Li Chengqian unconscious was from the East Palace, he should not have much chance to deal with the clues, and the clues are likely to still exist.

Lin Feng thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I wonder if Your Majesty has sent someone to interrogate these people in the East Palace?" ”

Li Zhen paused slightly this time, but quickly said, "The interrogation has passed." ”

"The result?" Lin Feng looked directly at Li Zhen, Li Zhen is the kind of person who abides by the law of Wei Zheng, Li Shimin asked him to fully cooperate with him, and in the case that Li Shimin did not clearly tell him that he was not allowed to tell anything, he believed that even if it was about Li Shimin, Li Zhen would not hide it.

Sure enough, Li Zhen shook his head directly: "I didn't find anyone with a problem." ”

Didn't find anyone with the problem...... Lin Feng said: "Did Li Qianniu also participate in the interrogation? ”

Li Zhen shook his head: "No, the last general is responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety and has been guarding His Majesty's side, and the result is what the last general said when he heard them report to His Majesty." ”

Lin Feng nodded, the result that Li Zhen knew was Qianniuwei's report to Li Shimin, so it should be no problem...... Qian Niuwei didn't interrogate and found valuable clues, was it because they weren't good at interrogating the criminals and didn't ask them, or did Li Chengqian's coma have nothing to do with the people in the East Palace?

If it has nothing to do with the East Palace, then it seems that only Li Tai had contact with Li Chengqian that day.

In this way, didn't the result of Qianniuwei's interrogation point directly to Li Tai?

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "I wonder if you have investigated His Royal Highness King Yue?" The result? ”

In the face of Wei Zheng-style people, there is no need to hide and tuck, it is most appropriate to ask directly.

"I haven't investigated King Yue."

To Lin Feng's surprise, Li Zhen shook his head directly and said, "Your Majesty just ordered Qianniuwei to block the Yue Palace, but did not allow us to enter the investigation. ”

Li Shimin did not investigate Li Tai?

How could he not investigate Li Tai?

Lin Feng said: "After the crown prince fell into a coma, has Your Majesty seen His Royal Highness King Yue?" ”

Li Zhen still shook his head: "Your Majesty has never left since you came to the East Palace, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue has been grounded in the Yue Palace, so naturally he has never seen His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin didn't even see Li Tai......

Something is wrong, 11 out of 10 is wrong!

The rumors outside are violent, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to know, and he also sent someone to interrogate the people in the East Palace, and the result is that the people in the East Palace are fine...... Therefore, these many aspects are directed at Li Tai.

But Li Shimin not only did not investigate Li Tai, but also did not even say anything about meeting Li Tai...... Did he believe from the bottom of his heart that this incident was not done by Li Tai?

But if this is really the case, why did he send Qianniuwei to surround the Yue Wangfu and give Li Tai a groundbreak?

Doesn't make sense!

Li Shimin's behavior is really getting more and more strange.

He must know something, and he must be hiding something, but if he really wants to hide the truth, why should he let me investigate? also used the position of Shaoqing to stimulate me, so that I could use my strength to investigate the case?

Lin Feng frowned, he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that the most confusing part of this case would start with Li Shimin......

"Lin Sizheng."

At this time, Li Zhen's voice suddenly sounded, and he said, "We have arrived." ”
