Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li Shimin nodded and signaled Wang Gui to speak out.

Wang Gui pretended to recall and said, "According to the family report, there is a small town about thirty miles away from the capital."

"There is a Yuelai Inn in the town. Last night, it suddenly ran out of water. My intuition tells me that this has something to do with the prince's disappearance."

"I feel that I should not give up any useful clues."

Cui Mingan on the side also said: "Your Majesty, similar news came from the minister's house, and I heard that before the fire broke out, there were loud quarrels and the sound of weapons colliding in the house."

"Anyone who was in the small town at that time should know about it."

"The minister also notified the matter to the Wannian County Government. Maybe the Wannian County Government has sent someone to investigate."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Wang Shizhong, Cui Aiqing, I am very relieved that you two can take the initiative to help me solve my problems."

"However, since the other party is so courageous, they must be fully prepared. This matter cannot be found out in a short while."

"Your news is very important. Now let those who know the news go to Dali Temple to explain the situation."

Then Li Shimin said to Li Junxian who was next to him: "Go and take someone with you, and tell Dali Temple the news."

"Until there is a result, this news is temporarily blocked. Remember not to spread it to the harem. If the Supreme Emperor, Empress and Concubine Yin find out, there may be even bigger disturbances."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hands tiredly, motioning for everyone to step back first.

After leaving the palace, Wang Gui returned directly to the mansion, and did not have any verbal communication with Cui Mingan during the whole process. They only looked at each other when they parted at the end, and their eyes were full of confidence.

The most urgent thing this time is the two families, so the two families have made the most preparations.

In order to prevent their chances from colliding, Wang Gui and Cui Mingan had already discussed in private and made plans for various situations.

For example, today's situation has already been calculated by the two of them.

Although it was a little regretful that Li You was not taken away directly, they also had a way to make Li You who was in a coma never wake up again.

As the strongest old family, they have already laid chess pieces in the medical school.

Now is the time for this pawn to assassinate the king.

Back at home, Wang Gui found two people from Wang's family firm and said, "I'll go to Dali Temple later to know what to say and how to do it?"

The two nodded, and said, "Understood, after finishing speaking, I said that I was ordered by the master to assist in the investigation, and no matter what method I use, I must stay in the investigation team."

Wang Gui nodded, and then felt tired for a while.

Now that a big event happened, there were too many things to calculate, although he had prepared for a long time, but he still felt physically and mentally exhausted when the event came to an end.

Thinking of his two sons, Wang Gui couldn't help but sighed, "Son, this may be the last time Father will help you."

At this moment, Wang Gui had already made a decision, and only waited for the end of this incident before retiring and returning to his hometown, away from the center of the power vortex, and returning to Taiyuan to retire.

Under the full investigation of all parties, the efficiency of Dali Temple was very high this time. Only one day later, a report appeared in front of Li Shimin.

At the same time as the report was presented, the ministers who had contributed to the investigation also gathered in the palace again to discuss the direction of the next investigation.

Cui Shanwei, Minister of Dali Temple, introduced what he has learned so far.

With the advice of Wang Gui and others, Li You's whereabouts were quickly recovered, and it was confirmed that the first location of the assassination was the Yuelai Inn that had now been burned.

"According to people nearby, the Yuelai Inn suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. Before the fire started, everyone heard noisy quarrels and loud roars."

"However, before the fire last night, everyone saw fireworks, so many people think that the cause of the fire was the sparks from the fireworks."

"Didn't the people around organize the fire fighting?"

Li Shimin frowned and asked.

Cui Minqian said: "Yes, the surrounding villagers have participated in fighting the fire, but I don't know why the fire is so big."

"Later, someone said that they saw someone leaving the inn when the fire just broke out, so everyone gave up fighting the fire, just to prevent the fire from spreading."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "It must be those assassins who are destroying the corpses!"

"Master Cui, what useful clues can we find in the inn?"

Cui Mingan shook his head regretfully and said: "Not yet, these assassins used firelighters such as saltpeter and sulfur when burning down the inn, that's why the fire is so big."

"The investigation into the ruins is ongoing."

"but……"

Cui Mingan seemed to be a little hesitant while talking.

Li Shimin was furious and said: "What time is it? Now that You'er's life or death is uncertain, there is nothing to hesitate."

After being urged by Li Shimin, Cui Minqian said: "Your Majesty, according to the letter from Feige in Luoyang, it is said that King Yan lived in Happy Forest in Luoyang recently."

"And it seems that there is a conflict with the people of the rivers and lakes in the happy forest!"

"Happy Woods? What's that place?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Li Shimin's face.

quickly,

Li Junxian whispered a few words beside him, explaining the things about Happy Lin.

Li Shimin's face also became a little embarrassed for a while: "Master Cui, what you mean is that You'er provoked those gangsters, so he was retaliated by those people?"

Cui Mingan nodded noncommittally and said, "The situation is still unclear, but it is not ruled out."

"Now the people in Luoyang have entered Happy Forest, I believe there will be results soon."

Li Shimin could only nod helplessly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cui."

"Guys, what do you think about this matter?"

After being asked by Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think the matter of Happy Forest is the gubu maze of these assassins."

"According to my understanding, in fact, when King Yan promoted Tang coins all over the country, he often lived in happy forests in various places."

"As for the fact that there are many gangsters in Happy Forest, it's normal to have conflicts occasionally."

"Besides, there are quite a few people in King Yan's party, and the general gangsters are not so bold at all."

"I feel that those who dare to do this must have touched their interests because of the Tang coins promoted by King Yan."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji gave Cui Shanwei a hard look, as if warning Cui Shanwei not to disturb the focus of the investigation.

Feeling Zhangsun Wuji's hostility, Cui Shanwei quit immediately, and said, "Master Changsun, what do you mean by that?"

"Everything I said just now is the truth. The documents from Luoyang are still in my yamen, and I can get them to submit them immediately."

Li Shimin quickly stopped the possibility of escalation of the situation and said: "Master Cui, don't get angry, Wuji is also eager to solve the case."

"King Yan is the pillar of the country. Even if he has an accident now, I don't want anyone to tarnish his reputation."

Cui Shanwei has been an official for many years. Although he is upright, Li Shimin's love for his son is still understandable. He nodded immediately and stopped arguing with Zhangsun Wuji.

At this time, Li Junxian suddenly walked in with a serious expression.
