Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Master Liu, I'm afraid your words are a bit biased?"

"On that day, the assassin was bound by the guards of the Imperial Army."

"At that time, I was only angry because Master Zhang Xuansu was assassinated, and I asked him who the murderer was behind it."

"Unexpectedly, this man was so powerful that he broke free from the rope behind his back and killed himself."

"There were so many people present at the time, they could all prove my innocence."

His words were just and righteous, without the slightest loophole.

For a while, Liu Dewei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, also failed to defraud anything, and did not ask any more questions.

At this time, Dai Zhou said slowly: "Li Anyan, this matter has a lot to do with it. Mr. Liu's behavior is also a means of normal interrogation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple."

"Don't think too much about it."

"As far as I know, you have a close relationship with Zhang Xuansu on weekdays?"

Li Anyan replied directly: "I don't have any personal relationship with Mr. Zhang."

"However, in the early years, both of us worked in the Eastern Palace."

"He is the former prince's teacher, and I am the general next to the hidden prince."

"For Mr. Zhang, I have always respected him very much."

"This time, Master Zhang was assassinated by an assassin right under my nose."

"I am also very heartbroken and extremely remorseful."

Listening to his words, Dai Zhou nodded.

"Since you are familiar with Zhang Xuansu."

"After you rescued him and healed him, what did he or the book boy say to you?"

Chapter 636 Unlucky King Qi

Hearing Dai Zhou's question, Li Anyan took a deep breath, "At that time, I really asked Mr. Zhang, what is the origin of these assassins."

"Why did you come to assassinate him?"

"Master Zhang told me that when the assassin broke into the carriage, he said that he was ordered by King Qi to kill him."

"Let him settle accounts with King Qi after his death."

Upon hearing Li Anyan's words, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wang Gui, Dai Zhou and everyone present were shocked.

Especially Dai Zhou, who was in charge of the trial, stood up in shock.

"Li Anyan, are you serious?!"

"If it is as you said, His Royal Highness Prince Qi was involved in this matter, it is not a trivial matter!"

Li Anyan nodded very seriously at this moment, "Li Anyan is willing to guarantee with his life that Mr. Zhang really said that to me before his death!"

The next moment, Dai Zhou handed this over to others to continue the trial.

He himself went directly to the palace with Changsun Wuji and others to face the saint.

After all, this matter involved the King of Qi, so it was no longer a trivial matter, and it was necessary to meet the Holy Majesty.

Later, when Li Shimin heard about this, he couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Dai Zhou said from the side: "From a common sense point of view, His Royal Highness Qi Wang has no reason to take such a big risk to assassinate the prince's young teacher Zhang Xuansu."

"Especially those assassins, slain men, are more likely to be misfortunes, intending to blame, and have bad intentions."

"However, His Royal Highness Qi Wang has always liked to make friends with strange people and strangers."

"This matter has been heard a lot in Chang'an City and among the people."

"If this matter is not clarified, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous for His Royal Highness Qi to spread it."

Hearing what Dai Zhou said, Li Shimin frowned slightly and nodded.

"I also feel that this matter has little to do with King Qi."

"But just to be on the safe side."

"Auxiliary machine, take someone with you and accompany Dai Zhou to King Qi's place to take a look, take a look."

"Search."

"It can also prove King Qi's innocence, lest anyone gossip."

Next, Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou led some masters from Dali Temple, and under the escort of the forbidden army, they directly surrounded Qi Wangfu.

Take out the imperial decree, and start a search of Qi Wangfu.

This Qi Wang Li You, because of his birth, can be said to be the least status among the many princes.

Usually he is attached to Li Ke, the king of Wu, and needs the support of the king of Wu.

Now, facing two big officials, Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou.

Especially the imperial decree in their hands, King Qi Li You couldn't stop Dali Temple and the imperial army from searching the mansion at all.

For a while, he was angry, annoyed, and anxious.

"oops!"

"That Zhang Xuansu was assassinated, what does it have to do with me?!"

"If my good prince doesn't do it, what would a prince and young master do to assassinate him?!"

"Isn't that free?!"

"He is a sour and stubborn old man with no money and no hatred."

"Who will mobilize the masses to assassinate him?"

"I've heard that His Royal Highness has always been rather annoyed with this piece of Xuansu."

"If you want to say who has the most motivation in the entire Chang'an City, I'm afraid it's the Prince's East Palace."

"Instead of checking the East Palace first, you searched my mansion first..."

Regarding King Qi's complaints, Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou naturally dealt with it in an amicable manner on the surface.

But in essence, he did not relax his vigilance at all.

After searching for most of the day, it is natural that nothing suspicious was found in Prince Qi's Mansion.

However, this King Qi is also unlucky.

Although nothing related to the assassination was found.

But on weekdays, he committed crimes, snatched civilian women and many other similar dirty things, and he was investigated to the bottom.

Since these things are not trivial, Dai Zhou and Changsun Wuji reported to Li Shimin together.

In fact, since Li Shimin ascended the throne.

His princes also grew up gradually.

They are very powerful and pampered, which man's mansion is not dirty?

It's just that King Qi was unlucky enough to meet such a rare search.

As a result, you don't even have to think about it.

Li Shimin, who was in a bad mood, was furious after learning about these things.

An imperial decree expelled King Qi from Chang'an City.

Let him go to his own fief, the officials of Qizhou, Mizhou and other fiefdoms.

Before leaving Chang'an, Wu Wang Li Ke deliberately comforted Qi Wang.

It is said that King Qi's fief is in Qizhou and Mizhou, and going there is also a blessing.

It's much better than the Minzhou area I went to.

At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity of Qi Wang Li You to go out of Beijing, Wu Wang and Xiao Yu also got their wish and transferred back Quan Wanji who was far to the south.

Do the long history of Qi Wangfu.

This also laid the foundation for the murder of King Qi in the future.

……

Let's talk about Dai Zhou and Changsun Wuji.

After clearing the suspicion on King Qi's side, Dai Zhou went directly to the East Palace.

To visit Prince Li Chengqian who has been complaining of illness.

At that time in Qi Wang's mansion, Qi Wang's words still woke up Dai Zhou.

If you want to say who has the most motivation in the entire Chang'an City, it is naturally the East Palace.

After Li Chengqian learned the truth of the matter that day, Yixin worried that he would show timidity when faced with inquiries from Li Shimin, Dai Zhou and others.

So he gave him an idea to let him call him sick on the grounds of grief and fright.

As long as he stayed in the East Palace and lay on the bed, the chance of showing his flaws would be much smaller.

But unexpectedly, this ignorant and blind-eyed Dai Zhou really ran over.

"His Royal Highness."

"I heard that your Highness was frightened that day, and this is all my fault."

"Today I came here specially to visit Your Highness."

Listening to Dai Zhou's words, Li Chengqian, who was lying on the bed, sighed softly.

"Master Dai, what are you talking about?"

"I am also saddened by the death of the teacher in my heart, and at the same time feel angry because of the madness and brutality of these assassins."

"This little illness is nothing to worry about."

"It will be fine after few days."

"I don't know how the investigation of your case is going, Mr. Dai?"

Hearing Li Chengqian's question, he has been paying close attention to the changes in Li Chengqian's eyes, movements and other details, shook his head and replied:

"These assassins are dead men, and their methods are extremely professional and cruel."

"We have very few leads to follow."

"By the way, His Royal Highness, I heard about the relationship between you and Mr. Zhang, and you are occasionally a little nervous?"

Listening to Dai Zhou's words, Li Chengqian's gaze gradually became sharp.

"Teacher, he is extremely strict, even more so to me."

"Sometimes, when I've been taught a lot by the teacher, I can't help but feel sulking and dissatisfied."

"I am the crown prince, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty."

"Master Dai, you will not suspect that I sent someone to assassinate the teacher because of this, right?!"

Chapter 637

Seeing that Li Chengqian was about to get angry, Dai Zhou hurriedly bowed and said, "His Royal Highness has misunderstood."

"His Royal Highness has always had a good reputation of respecting teachers, and I dare not have any intentions in this regard."

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard that a doctor Hu came to your Highness's East Palace."

"Excellent medical skills, even the stubborn illnesses that the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless are quite effective in his diagnosis and treatment."

"It just so happens that someone in the minister's family suffers from a strange disease."

"I want to meet this strange man and ask for advice."

"I don't know if it's convenient?"

Dai Zhou's words were very polite and cautious.
