Chapter 505: Xi argues and defends the law

When Xi Wei heard that King Ji actually led troops to surround the Assassin Mansion, he was immediately shocked in his heart.

Does this king know no rules and laws?

Or did King Ji mutiny?

Xi Wei hurriedly got up and came outside, just in time to bump into Li Shen's group of people who came in.

Seeing that Li Shen was followed by a dense crowd of at least a few hundred people, Xi Wei couldn't help asking:

"His Royal Highness King Ji, what does this mean, why did King Ji lead his troops to rush into the Assassin's Mansion."

"The decree is that all the small officials and servants are gathered, and no one is allowed to move around at will, and go to the back house to gather the family members of Xi Tingshi,

Be careful not to hurt anyone, and then search every corner of the Assassin's Mansion for this king. ”

Li Shen ignored Xi Wei, but ordered directly.

"Wait, Your Royal Highness King Ji, what do you mean by this? Although you are a prince, the court has the laws of the court, and His Royal Highness can know that leading troops to storm the yamen is a conspiracy. ”

Xi was in a hurry, he didn't understand why Li Shen did this.

Li Shen came to Xi Wei with a smile, and took out Li Shimin's holy decree and put it in front of Xi Wei.

"You see, this king is now the envoy of the Ten Dao Dethrones, and he is controlled by this king everywhere he goes, not to mention bringing guards to attack you and assassinate the Shifu, even the soldiers of the palace have to listen to this king, and it is not illegal to kill you, do you understand?"

Li Shen said to Xi Wei very angrily, and sighed in his heart that he was always a good envoy.

Xi Wei looked at it carefully, especially when he saw the big seal, the whole person stood on the spot.

He didn't expect that King Ji was such a big official, how could His Majesty give a teenage child so much power.

Aren't the envoys generally veterans coming down, they used to be big figures like Li Jing and Fang Xuanling.

Just when he was stunned, he heard Li Shen continue:

"Xi Bian, this king now suspects you of being corrupt and perverting the law, accepting bribes, and shielding the thief Li Dabian. Now I will take you down and await the trial. ”

"No, His Royal Highness King Ji, this official is not corrupt, and Li Dabi is dead, how can King Ji frame me without any evidence."

Xi Wei was anxious,

"Hmph, do you think that if Li Dabi dies, there is no proof of his death, Li Dabi is just a small character, and his life and death do not prevent this king from punishing you."

Li Shen snorted coldly.

"In that case, why does King Ji still try the lower officials."

"Xi Wei, have you forgotten why this king came to your Cangzhou Mansion? I'm sure you've already checked it.

Do you think that you sent men to follow this king, and this king does not know?

If you are not a thief, why would you send men after this king?

It's useless to talk too much, and the river alone is enough for you to die a few times. Take it for the king. ”

After hearing this, Xi Wei sat on the ground, and two guards stepped forward to tie up Xi Wei.

Xi Wei sent someone to follow Li Shen, and Li Shen knew early that Li Shen didn't travel with 2,000 guards, and there was a 150-person blade squad in the dark.

Usually they follow Li Shen in disguise, no one knows where they are, and no one knows them.

All contacts were made through Xue Rengui, the captain.

If it weren't for Li Shen's unwillingness to startle the snake, the person who followed would have disappeared long ago.

Soon the guards gathered all the people, a bunch of officials from the Assassin's Mansion, and a bunch of Xi Wei's family members.

"Search for this king, search carefully, and see if there are any secret compartments, cellars and the like. Xuan Ce, you go and check the paperwork and letters. ”

"Yes, lord."

Li Shen actually didn't know the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that Xi Yan's money was not in the Assassin's Mansion.

Even if he convicts Xi Wei rigidly, if he doesn't find the stolen money by then, he will be relegated to the court.

Looking at Xi Bian's expression, Xi Bian's face was constantly changing, and sweat was pouring down on his forehead.

"Lord Qiqi, the government in the front yard didn't find it." A guard came to report.

"Well, it's okay, focus on searching the back house, there are many people in front of you, and it's impossible to put important things."

For this, Li Shen has long been mentally prepared.

"Lord Wang, look at this." At this moment, Wang Xuance brought over a box with some letters.

"What is this?" Li Shen didn't bother to look at them one by one, and asked Wang Xuance directly.

"This is a letter from some wealthy businessmen to Xi Wei, and there are a lot of gifts written on it." Wang Xuance explained.

"Oh?" Li Shen became interested, took out a photo and looked at it a few times, this is a businessman surnamed Cui.

Li Shen looked at a few more, surnamed Zheng, surnamed Li, surnamed Wang,

"Wait." Li Shen suddenly saw a picture surnamed Changsun.

"Xuan Ce, do you think these people are all businessmen of the family?" Li Shen whispered to Wang Xuance.

"I think it's about the same." Wang Xuance also whispered.

"Alas, it's a pity, although the surname is matched, but with these few letters, there is no offensive power." After Li Shen finished speaking, he took out the envelope from the eldest grandson's family and handed it to Chunxiang to put it away.

Then he said to Wang Xuance:

"Keep these and present them to the court, disgusting them."

Then Li Shen turned his head to Xi Wei and said.

"You said you weren't stupid, why didn't you burn the letter. Doesn't that leave us with evidence? It's stupid. ”

"Lord Wang, the minister thinks that Xi Wei is not stupid at all, and the minister guesses that he keeps these letters because he wants to use them to threaten the family to save his life in a time of crisis."

Wang Xuance said with a smile.

"Really? It makes sense, you're so smart. Li Shen suddenly realized.

"Lord Wang, we also searched the backyard, only some silk and Luo, and brocade silk. There isn't much money. ”

Just as Li Shen was speaking, a guard came over to report it.

"It's impossible, the court must have at least tens of thousands of yuan." Li Shen was a little puzzled.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, the lower officials have sent someone to dredge the river, but it is just silted up again. If you don't believe me, you can investigate. At this time, Xi Wei spoke.

"Hmph, do you think this king is a fool, how long has it been since the river was dredged and blocked? The king went to see it for himself.

Even if the king digs three feet into the ground, he will find out. ”

After speaking, Li Shen led people to the back house, and all the soldiers were ping pong and banging everywhere, wanting to see if there was a secret grid there.

Li Shen walked through the room after room, knocked on the walls and everything, but still found nothing.

How so?

Li Shen was walking around, and he was also thinking, tens of thousands of guan are a lot of them, and the only place that can be stored is underground.

Li Shen felt that Xi Wei would not be placed outside, and if he found a house to put it, it would definitely alarm the people in the city.

That's hundreds of carts of copper coins.

"Underground, underground." Li Shen said this, the Assassin Mansion is so big, I have already searched for it, and only the underground has not been found.

There must be a vault underground, but where is the entrance?

After turning around, Li Shen suddenly saw a well in the garden, and a word flashed through his mind in an instant.

"I'm grass, tunnel war?"
