Chapter 164 Who set the fire
Now Li Shimin, even Cheng Yaojin, who is usually not afraid of the world, feels a little scared when he looks at it.
This is really hot...
Cheng Yaojin thought about it, but did not answer immediately, but looked at Lu Heng and Li Chengqian next to him.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is used to being rough, but Lu Heng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were smoky and fire today. They are young and probably very uncomfortable."
"How about letting them go and have a rest first, I'm telling you here, what?"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at the two boys again.
Indeed, one of them will soon be the prince of the dynasty, and the other is the prince of the current dynasty. His face is black and his body is dirty, which is very unconventional.
He nodded and said:
"Okay, you two go to the East Palace to change your clothes first."
"Lu Heng, when you arrive at the door later, let He De go and invite Doctor Sun into the palace."
"Doctors can't treat themselves. Even if you are here, I have to ask him to see it before he can rest assured."
Lu Heng agreed, and helped Li Chengqian, who had just sat down, and slowly walked out of the Tai Chi Hall.
Wait until they leave.
In the hall, only Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin were left.
"Can you make it clear now?"
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin with a stern face:
"What do you want to tell me if you send them both outside?"
Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so there is no need to talk about Stories from a Chinese Studio.
Cheng Yaojin talked about everything that happened at the door of Tianxia Bookstore after He De left today without adding any subjective factors.
After finishing his speech, he said calmly:
"I want to tell you that this matter is not just Xiao Yu."
"He is indeed a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, but not so stupid."
"Although I hate this old thing very much..."
"However, Xiao Yu was not a fool after three dynasties from Houliang to the Tang Dynasty. He was even more unlikely to be unclear about the consequences of his setting fire today."
"I heard that Zheng Rentai ran to the Duke of Song's mansion to inform him today. Do you think this fire is strange today?"
"Xiao Yu came to the door to smash the ground, but he brought all the old soldiers who were fighting in his family."
"Which old man didn't crawl out from the sea of corpses and blood? Why did he shake his hands today at this time?"
Li Shimin suddenly became silent.
He already understood what Cheng Yaojin meant.
The turmeric oil was indeed sent by Xiao Yu to water it.
But the fire note that fell on the tincture oil for no reason might have fallen from the hands of the Xiao family.
At that time, the bookstore was in and out, not to mention the servants of the Xiao family, even if Lu Heng secretly kicked Xiao Yu, the other party couldn't find who did it.
"You mean, someone wants to use Xiao Yu as a knife?"
His Majesty Li Er's eyes became colder:
"Ha... I'm so good at playing with a prime minister and a prince of the current dynasty. I'm so brave!"
Seeing that His Majesty was so angry that he didn't even yell, Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to say anything else.
He just bowed and said:
"I'm just guessing."
"Who threw the fire note, you still need to send someone to investigate it yourself."
"The old minister thinks that this matter must be investigated strictly."
"Not only do you want to catch the murderer, but also the Crown Prince was there at that time. If the old minister and Lu Heng had not worked together to bring him out of the fire, I'm afraid that the Crown Prince's life would be worrying in the crowd in panic."
This is the point.
Even if Xiao Yu dared to take action, he finally entrusted the servants to take good care of Li Chengqian and not to let the prince be injured.
With such a huge mistake today, no matter how strong Xiao Yu is, he will not be able to risk the whole family being executed.
If you offend the crown prince, you will be dismissed from office and removed from the title of office and expelled from the capital and returned to your hometown.
But if something happened to Li Chengqian, let alone his reputation... it is not certain whether the Xiao family in Lanling can continue to exist!
The entire Tai Chi Hall was so quiet that the needles could be heard.
The nerves were as strong as Cheng Yaojin, and he couldn't help but hold his breath.
Li Shimin's anger was already overwhelmed.
I just don’t know who will bear it!
After a while.
"I understand."
Li Shimin slowly walked back to his dragon throne and said coldly:
"Zhijie, today you and Chumo are here, and you can see with your own eyes how things happened."
"Since that's the case, you father and son will investigate together with the Baiqisi."
"I only give it ten days."
"Ten days later, it will be the day for Yu'er and Lu Heng to get married."
"I hope that things can be concluded before this."
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, sweat came out from his forehead.
Ten days...
The bookstore was burned and the prince was in danger. It was clear that the five surnames and seven hopes were making trouble behind him!
What can he find out after such a little time?
But the emperor's order cannot be violated.
Gripping his teeth, Cheng Yaojin bowed:
"My minister, accept the order!"
Li Shimin saw that his face was not good, so he added:
"Within ten days, you can enter and exit all the families in Chang'an City at will, regardless of whether they want to."
"I give you the right to act cheaply, let go and check it!"
……………………
Eastern Palace.
Lu Heng helped Li Chengqian back and walked very slowly.
After all, the latter had poor legs and feet, and was frightened just now, inhaled some toxic gases and kept coughing.
The general walked to the palace gate and was about to enter when Lu Heng was stopped by the people beside the door.
"Lu Heng, brother!"
Li Mingyu hurriedly ran over with the hem of his palace skirt.
She looked at Lu Heng first and confirmed that the other party's face was just a little dirty and was not injured before she turned her eyes to her brother.
"Brother, are you okay?"
When Li Chengqian saw his sister coming, even though his face was very bad, he forced a smile.
"I'm fine, I'm just choked by the smoke and not injured."
Li Mingyu didn't believe it very much.
She walked to the other side and helped Li Chengqian in with Lu Heng, muttering while walking.
"You two have had a big deal today."
"A hour ago, He De told his mother to the Queen for his father, but he was so anxious!"
"Fortunately, the bookstore had not yet started burning at that time, and Duke Lu went to take charge again, so she felt a little relieved."
"Oh, Duke Lu has gone, why did you still look like this? Brother, how could you explain to her if your mother wants to see you later!"
Li Chengqian turned his head and looked at Lu Heng.
It's finished.
I'm going to meet Empress Changsun!
They are like this now, just wash their faces and bodies... The problem is, their hair is a little burnt!
I held it in for a long time.
Lu Heng smiled at Li Chengqian with apology and said:
"Brother, I will die if I die."
"I'll wash up later and go home."
"Take care, take care!"
While they were talking, the three of them had already entered Li Chengqian's bedroom.
Lu Heng ran away when he stumbled.
Chapter completed!
