Fortunately, the two of them had good footwork, and they arrived at the Prince's Mansion almost at the same time as the people from Dali Temple.

At this time, all the gates of the Prince's Mansion were sealed by the people of Dali Temple.

The two looked at each other, found a remote place, and climbed over the wall to enter.

"Look for Li Xiaogong's study! Hurry up!"

After they entered the mansion, they went up to the roof and searched separately.

……

Front door.

People from Dali Temple are arresting people.

"presumptuous!"

A shout suddenly sounded.

Li Chongyi staggered over with his crutches.

"Who gave you the courage? How dare you mess around in the county palace!"

Li Chongyi was shocked.

In Chang'an City, there are still people who dare to go to his house to arrest people? !

"Humph!"

Lu Li snorted coldly, and said, "The ones who are arrested are the people from the County Prince's Mansion!"

"The king of Hejian County is suspected of plotting against and assassinating the prince. The Holy Majesty appointed me to take full responsibility at Dali Temple. Now I am ordered to seal up the county prince's mansion. Everyone will follow me to Dali Temple."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed!"

"what?!"

Li Chongyi was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He never expected that the county prince's mansion would be sealed up.

What happened?

Why did he say that his father conspired against him and even assassinated the prince?

Li Chongyi's brain crashed, he stayed where he was, and was taken away by people from Dali Temple.

backyard.

At this time, the county palace was noisy and chaotic.

Countless servants were taken away by the people of Dali Temple.

All the rooms were sealed after inspection.

Li Xiao was anxious.

Simply, Lee Hyo-gong's study room is not hard to find.

Not long after, Li Xiao and Li Junxian found the highest attic in the mansion almost at the same time.

The reason why it was determined that Li Xiaogong's study was here was because Li Xiao saw that Lu Li led people to surround the attic, and he was stepping into the attic gate at this moment.

Li Xiao and Li Junxian looked at each other, and sneaked in through the window on the roof side.

As soon as he entered, the scene in front of him made Li Xiao frowned.

At this moment, the room was in chaos.

The desks, chairs, desks, and even the bed frame all showed signs of being turned over.

Various scrolls and bamboo slips were scattered all over the place.

Someone had obviously come before them.

"It was really guessed by His Highness!"

Li Junxian's face was serious, with surprise in his eyes.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Looking at the books all over the floor, Li Xiao frowned.

But at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door...

Chapter 90: The Money Tree Li Xiao

Lu Li pushed open the door of the study, his expression shocked, as if he saw something incredible.

Then he returned to normal, and said softly to his colleagues beside him: "Go to another room to check, and leave it to me here."

The few people around didn't think much, and scattered in all directions.

Lu Li waited for them to leave before pushing the door open and closing the door carefully.

Behind the bookshelf, Li Xiao slowly appeared.

"Your Highness!" Lu Li cupped his fists and shouted softly.

When he saw the messy study room, he immediately asked in doubt: "Have you found anything, Your Highness?"

Li Xiao shook his head slightly: "Being taken a step ahead, I have only come here not long ago."

"what?!"

Lu Li was shocked immediately, and then said, "Someone came here earlier? Do you want your subordinates to send someone to chase after you?"

"That's too late."

Li Xiao shook his head again, frowning tightly.

Lu Li thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Your Highness, do you need someone to forge some evidence?"

I have done it once in Dali Temple just now, and it is already handy at this time.

However, Li Xiao was still frowning.

It is undeniable that Lu Li's proposal is a good one.

But he doesn't even know who his enemy is, who is he going to plant?

"No need." Li Xiao said.

"Then how should the subordinates report it?" Lu Li asked again.

"You haven't met me, so you can report the rest as you like, so be it!" Li Xiao said.

"Subordinates obey!"

Lu Li responded.

Afterwards, under Lu Li's care, Li Xiao and Li Junxian quietly left the county palace.

All things considered, it was still a step too late.

This also made Li Xiao confirm one thing.

Those who have secret contacts with Li Xiaogong are definitely in the hall where the three departments will interrogate.

Even, this person is very cautious.

Before Li Xiaogong was defeated, he had already sent people to the county palace.

Act with extreme caution.

Afterwards, Li Xiao returned to the villa with his guards.

On the road.

"Your Highness, during the interrogation, Li Xiaogong reconstructed the trap, and almost all the ministers believed it to be true. The subordinates thought that His Highness was doomed, but they didn't expect..."

On the carriage, Li Junxian sighed.

What happened today was like walking on eggshells.

If you are not careful, you will be lost forever.

But he never expected that at the critical moment, it was Lu Li who stood up and reversed the situation.

Who would have thought that a retainer that Li Xiao had randomly accepted before could play such a huge role.

"It's not over yet..." Li Xiao smiled wryly.

"The whole family of Li Xiaogong has been arrested, and it's only a matter of time before the indictment, why is it still not finished?" Li Junxian looked puzzled.

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Fang Xuanling respectfully said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, I have checked, and the note was indeed made by someone sent by the King of Yue."

"This person's name is Lu Li, and he is the prime minister of Dali Temple. He met the King of Yue twice, at the restaurant next to Fengyu Tower and at the scene of the assassination at Wubenfang."

"twice?"

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Er's eyes: "I only saw it twice, and I can take it for my own use. It seems that Xiao'er still has some tricks."

"Your Majesty is not angry?" Fang Xuanling looked surprised, "Dali Temple is in charge of the trial of criminal and prison cases, and its authority is higher than that of the Ministry of Punishment, Yushitai and Fuya. How can the prince get involved in such an important place?"

Li Er did not answer, but asked: "How much money was seized in this seizure?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, under the name of Li Xiaogong, there are a total of 36 shops, with hundreds of acres of land, plus restaurants, teahouses, etc. in operation. There are millions of taels in cash alone. Counting all assets, at least thousands of taels Ten thousand."

"it is good!"

Li Er couldn't help but said: "Xiao'er is really my cash cow!"

"Purpose!"

"Canonize the King of Yue as the servant of the household department, and he will take office immediately!"

"Then Lu Li, he should also be transferred to the household department!"

Li Er said with a smile: "Fang Aiqing, you can choose the position according to your own needs, not too high."

"This……"

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise!"

……

At the same time, Li Xiao's side.

"What?!" Li Junxian said in shock, "Your Highness is saying that His Majesty knew that the note was written by you?"

"Not only father, I guess most of the officials should have guessed it." Li Xiao said slowly.

"Then why didn't anyone point it out?" Li Junxian felt a little dazed, "Besides, Li Daozong still speaks for His Highness everywhere, but His Highness seems to have only met him once, why is that?"

"Because of his status!" Li Xiao explained, "Actually, it doesn't matter to them who Zhang Ji was instigated by. The important thing is that someone has to take the blame, so that the matter can be resolved."

Li Junxian nodded: "This subordinate probably understands..."

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to His Majesty, that's why no one opened his mouth to tell the truth, but Li Xiaogong insisted on biting His Majesty, which obviously touched His Majesty's inverse scale."

"Not only that, I guess that Li Xiaogong's secret rebellion may be true, and the emperor also knows about it, but he just borrowed my hand to get rid of Li Xiaogong." Li Xiao said solemnly.

"So that's the case, it's so complicated, it's because my subordinates are too dull, thank you Your Highness for clarifying the confusion." Li Junxian sighed.

After a while, Li Junxian frowned again, and asked suspiciously: "No, Your Highness, since Zhang Ji belongs to Li Xiaogong, why didn't he cooperate with Li Xiaogong to frame His Highness when he arrived at the palace?"

"This is too strange. They should have colluded beforehand, otherwise Li Xiaogong wouldn't be so confident."

"Hehe." Li Xiao smiled mysteriously, "Because the person Li Xiaogong met in the cell earlier was also fake."

"They have never met before, so there is no collusion. I guess Zhang Ji is still in the fog at the moment!"

"This……"

Li Junxian was stunned for a moment, and with admiration in his eyes, he gave Li Xiao a thumbs up: "Your Highness's move is really brilliant!"

……

The palace, the imperial study.

While Li Er was discussing with Fang Xuanling, the old eunuch suddenly came over and handed over a note.
