I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Li Tai!

When the name landed, Zhou Xiaosan was also shuddered.

However, his boss had reminded him before that he had some psychological preparations, so he would not be too gaffe, and he glanced dissatisfiedly at the official who made a fuss.

The clerk smiled embarrassedly, sat back down again, and recorded what he just said.

As for the scratches - this needs to be made up after the transcript has been recorded.

Zhou Xiaosan waited for him to record, and continued to ask: "You said it was His Royal Highness Jiang Wang, do you have evidence?"

"Yes." The old man responded decisively, "Every time I negotiate with His Highness King Jiang, it is the one from the concubine's room. Just ask him and you will know."

Zhou Xiaosan raised his eyebrows: "Why did you explain it so decisively?"

"Although our two houses have the name of the Wei family, they have not received the support of the other seven houses." The old man explained briefly, "There is not much we can do."

"And there are a lot of telltale signs exposed, we know your name Zhou Xiaosan."

"Even if we hide, you can find clues from Duke Wei's mansion and Duke Lu's mansion, and then find us."

"It's better to be calm, so as not to hurt the Wei family."

Zhou Xiaosan raised his eyebrows again.

An image of being loyal to the family, being loyal and courageous, and defying life and death is vivid on the paper.

"Do you think the Wei family can escape the trouble now?" Zhou Xiaosan slammed on the table and yelled.

But the Wei family just sneered and ignored the scolding.

Zhou Xiaosan continued to ask.

The modus operandi, the plan, the persons involved.

After waiting for more than an hour, Zhou Xiaosan came out of the interrogation room yawning. He went to another room to take a look. The interrogation inside was still going on, but it seemed...it was coming to an end.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the servant came out of another interrogation room and handed over his recorded statement to Zhou Xiaosan.

Zhou Xiaosan checked on the spot.

But... there is obviously no problem with the confession, and everything is correct, if it is not because this is the case, it is because...they have written a flawless story in order to collude the confession.

Of course, the authenticity of the confession does not mean anything, and this case will not be settled hastily because of these two confessions.

What gave him a headache was the common sentence in the two confessions: "His Royal Highness Jiang Wang is the mastermind behind the scenes."

This is not good news.

Do you want to discuss it in the court?

Obviously not.

Zhou Xiaosan sighed, and copied two copies of the key parts of the two confessions, sent one to Dalang's mansion, and took the other to the imperial city.

Li Shimin had just fallen asleep for less than an hour.

Being woken up by Zhou Xiaosan, he didn't have any temper. He is not a person who gets up angry. If he has this problem, then he will probably end up with the same reputation as Cao Cao-I like killing people in my dreams.

Seeing Zhou Xiaosan coming over at this moment, and seeing Zhou Xiaosan's solemn face, Li Shimin's heart skipped a beat. The ominous premonition he chewed repeatedly before going to bed, at this moment, he felt that it was about to come true.

"Your Majesty, this is the summary of the confession that I asked." Zhou Xiaosan didn't say anything else, but presented the straw paper in his hand.

When Li Shimin saw it, his face turned pale again: "Is that so?"

There was a bit of expectation in his eyes, hoping that this was fake, that this was Zhou Xiaosan's Chao Yue, who saw himself so exhausted, and then made a joke on himself.

But... Zhou Xiaosan shook his head: "Your Majesty, the two interrogated separately, there is no collusion."

Li Shimin fell silent and buried his head in front of the paper.

He couldn't figure it out, how could his son do such a thing about his... being wise and mighty.

Is this the retribution?
Heaven-human interaction... Heaven-human interaction!

Li Shimin heaved a long sigh, and told the eunuch beside him: "Today's court meeting will be cancelled, and you should go to work after breakfast at Shangshi Bureau."

The eunuch responded, and hurried out to make arrangements—although it is not in the etiquette to temporarily cancel the court meeting, even the admonishing ministers from Yushitai would not give Li Shimin eye drops at this time.

Li Shimin then ordered the guards on the side: "Go...to King Jiang's mansion, and invite King Jiang here."

The guard also responded.

In less than an hour, Li Tai was brought in, and this chubby little man rolled in like a ball.

As the saying goes, Li Tai is not a fool, he is a rare smart person in the world.

When he was woken up by the chief of the inner government, saying that someone from the palace had come to call him, and that His Majesty wanted to see him at this time, Li Tai almost understood why he was called over.

When he saw Zhou Xiaosan at the side, he fully understood.

When the foot is soft, it becomes a ball.

Li Shimin didn't speak, just looked up at Zhou Xiaosan - in this short moment, he seemed to have aged a few years.

The few most valued sons, except for Li Zhi, have rebelled one after another. In all dynasties, the rebellion of the princes is an exception. Only with him, the son did not rebel, but became an exception.

This kind of blow is too big.

Zhou Xiaosan understood, spoke for Li Shimin, and asked Li Tai: "His Royal Highness Jiang, the case of assassinating His Highness Jin Wang that happened yesterday has been investigated."

Li Tai fell on the ground and didn't speak.

"The people in the concubine's room of the Wei family have recognized you as the mastermind behind the scenes, can you plead guilty?" Zhou Xiaosan shouted and asked sharply.

Li Tai raised his head slowly, his eyes were red: "My son... I have the courage to ask my father about something."

Li Shimin spoke, weakly: "Speak."

"Father... did you really want my son to die!" Li Tai almost gritted his teeth, and these words popped out bit by bit.

Li Shimin was a little astonished, he looked at Li Tai in surprise: "Why do you think so?"

He didn't want to see his son have an accident.

When Li Chengqian rebelled and wanted to kill himself, he didn't even want to kill his son.

Now that Li Tai assassinated Li Zhi, he still didn't think about killing his son.

Li Tai smiled wryly. He looked at Li Shimin's face with complicated emotions in his heart, and sighed: "Didn't the father really have this thought when he titled his son Jiang Wang?"

King Jiang?

What happened to King Jiang?
Li Shimin was still puzzled.

Li Tai slowly expressed his conjecture about King Jiang's title.

Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, he tightened his palms, feeling a little overwhelmed, yes... as an emperor, he rarely felt this overwhelmed.

Then, a large, large area of ​​guilt, like a dark cloud in a thunderstorm, was glimpsed and overwhelming, rushing into his heart.

Ultimately, it's his father's problem.

Did such a small title cause such a big problem?
