After listening to Li An's words, Lin Shangli couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.
I just thought that the emperor deliberately targeted Xiao Chen in order to take back Dongchang's right to use firearms.
If according to what Li An said, the emperor believed that Xiao Chen deliberately gave the enemy an opportunity to cause the prince to be kidnapped, the events involved were beyond his control.
"Master Li, why do you think so?" Lin Shangli's tone was much more tactful.
Li An smiled awkwardly: "To be honest, this is what I just thought of. I just wanted to get close to the factory owner, so I worked hard to expand my thinking and expand this matter wirelessly. I accidentally thought of it.
In this aspect, however, Mr. Factory Master, you don’t need to worry too much. This is just my guess. Perhaps, the emperor’s thoughts are not so complicated.”
As if he felt that his words had too much weight, Li An truthfully told Lin Shangli his recent mental activities.
"No, no, no." Lin Shangli put his hands on his back, slowly occupied it, and looked at the strong gate of the cell, "Master Li can think of this, and the emperor will definitely think of this. Master Li thinks of this because of the previous
Has Xiao Chen always belonged to the undefeated myth in everyone’s mind?”
Li An nodded, and his expression became serious: "This point is very important, and another point is that this mysterious force that suddenly appeared is ridiculously powerful. Another point is that Xiao Chen has been following the three princes.
The time between the two is a bit long.”
"The three princes are wandering among themselves? Mr. Li, can you elaborate a little bit?" Lin Shangli's mind was spinning rapidly.
Although he has thought of many possibilities, he still wants to hear what Li An has to say.
After all, there are many high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and the excuses Li An can think of may become the reason for others to join the East Factory.
"In Le'an Prefecture, Xiao Chen chopped off the King of Han's right hand, which has left a hidden danger in the emperor's mind. King Zhao of Huailaiwei was assassinated. Although the murderer, thousands of households in Jinyiwei, were killed on the spot, Dongchang never
Come up with an investigation result. Xiao Chen is responsible for the security of the entire Huailai Emperor's camp, and the Jinyiwei personnel are temporarily under Xiao Chen's control. The emperor is likely to think that the Jinyiwei Qianhu who assassinated King Zhao was a victim of
Instigated by Xiao Chen. With these two prejudices, if something happens to the prince in the capital, the emperor will naturally not think of the good side."
At the end of the story, Li An himself felt a little scared.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he was overthinking and that the emperor was not thinking in this direction.
After listening to Li An's words, Lin Shangli's expression became particularly solemn.
The emperor is a suspicious person.
Especially in recent years, as his physical strength has declined, he always feels that many things have been out of his control. Some things that were originally normal, in the eyes of the emperor, were the result of the other party's great efforts.
This time, the Emperor is very likely to suspect Xiao Chen of having ulterior motives.
The time for the emperor to be wise and powerful and to strategize has passed. Now, in addition to worrying about his throne being taken away, the emperor is only left to wonder whether the important ministers around him are still loyal to him or not, and whether they have different intentions.
Xiao Chen must be informed about this matter.
If the emperor really wants to take action against him, it is not impossible to leave Dongchang and fly away.
As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor and the court. But if the emperor continues to choose to stay on unfounded charges, that would be a kind of foolish loyalty.
At that time, if Lan Yu had not believed that Taizu would not murder him and chose to stay, he would not have been skinned by Taizu in the end and given to his daughter as a "souvenir".
He was just a eunuch, so he was beheaded because of this, so he died.
But Xiao Chen is still very young and has a bright future. There is no need to become an innocent soul under the emperor's suspicion.
When someone comes from Dongchang again, he must make Xiao Chen ready to escape.
Looking at the door, Lin Shangli secretly made up his mind.
...
At the door of Jinyiwei's prison, Xiao Chen looked at the rain curtain that blocked his sight, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart.
This earthy smell that soothes the heart and soul is much better than the musty smell in the humid air inside the Jinyiwei Prison.
It was raining so hard that the factory official came in a hurry and used his freedom to give himself the opportunity to investigate the case. Although he was just a despised eunuch, which official in the imperial court could do that?
Like him doing this.
"Xiao Lizi, you and the factory manager came here early in the morning?" Standing at the door, looking at the street where there were many puddles on the ground, Xiao Chen didn't know whether he should rush into the rain.
To be honest, if the other party didn't show his head, I wouldn't know where to look for dried onions now.
If we had investigated from the scene at that time, we might have been able to trace some clues.
But now, it has been several days since the incident happened, and even the streets have been washed clean by the rain. Where should I start?
"It was no longer early in the morning when we got here. Early in the morning, Mr. Factory Master and I went to the Inspectorate." Xiao Lizi said softly, and plunged into the rain to fetch the carriage that was still soaked in the rain.
Seeing the carriage approaching, Xiao Chen ignored the heavy rain on his head and rushed over, opened the door curtain and got on the carriage.
"Are you going to talk to the Inspectorate about the replacement?" Sitting on the carriage, Xiao Chen leaned on the observation port in front of the carriage and looked at Xiao Lizi and asked.
"Well, Mr. Factory Master got angry with Mr. Jiang from the Inspectorate today. He even killed someone in Jinyiwei's prison." Xiao Lizi reined in the horse and turned the carriage around, heading in the direction of the East Factory.
Go slowly.
"Kill someone? You said Mr. Factory Lord killed someone? Who did he kill? The captain of Jinyiwei?" Xiao Chen was startled, a little confused.
Although it is normal for Dongchang to kill someone, who dares to accuse him of killing an individual as the owner of Dongchang.
However, for now, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have a cooperative relationship. It is still a bit inappropriate for the factory owner to kill people in Jinyiwei's prison.
Xiao Lizi didn't say anything, but raised his hand and wiped away his tears.
"What's going on, you're a grown man, why are you still crying?" Xiao Chen was even more puzzled.
Has this little plum suffered a lot of grievances today?
"The factory master didn't have the Plum Blossom Order, so the captain in the prison started to make things difficult for us. They also said that my Plum Blossom Order was fake. I had no choice but to take out my fly whisk and say that I was a eunuch. But they, they..."
Xiao Lizi wiped away tears again.
"What's wrong with them?" Xiao Chen's face gradually turned cold.
The three people who grew up together, Wang San, have been killed, leaving only himself and Xiao Lizi. Bullying Xiao Lizi to this point, no matter who the other party is, will not work.
