"Showing off?" Chang Sun Chong looked puzzled, "Your child didn't see anything!"
Changsun Wuji looked solemn: "I went to the door to inquire about the crime, but he was so calm. If he were an innocent person, would he be like this?"
"So that's how it is, father is wise!"
Zhang Sun Chong suddenly realized, but frowned again and said: "But now everyone in Dali Temple believes him, and we have no evidence, how can we convict him?"
"It's not important..."
A chill flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes, and he said coldly, "As long as I'm sure it was him, Dali Temple can't punish him, so I'll do it!"
"Great!" Chang Sun Chong looked excited, "Father, do you have any follow-up plans?"
A stern look flashed in Changsun Wuji's eyes: "Just wait and see, his death is coming soon!"
……
The palace, the imperial study.
Wei Zheng and Li Er are talking.
Suddenly a eunuch came in to report.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue came forward and talked with the three parties. After a while, Master Changsun led the people to evacuate."
"What?" Wei Zheng asked in surprise, "Where did King Yue come from?"
The eunuch replied: "My lord, His Royal Highness the King of Yue came out of Lantian Restaurant."
"How could this be?" Wei Zheng frowned, and muttered, "It shouldn't be..."
"Hahaha..." Li Er laughed heartily, "Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng, you also have a day of miscalculation."
Wei Zheng cupped his hands, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, after much deliberation, I think there are only two possibilities for this matter."
"One is that someone else sneaked into Changsun's mansion. King Yue is indeed innocent."
"This is the second..."
Having said that, Wei Zheng hesitated a little.
"The second possibility is that Xiao'er is highly skilled in martial arts, can hide from the world, and can come and go freely under the heavy guards outside the Changsun's Mansion or Lantian Restaurant."
Li Er smiled and said, "But that's the case?"
"I do think so, but it seems unlikely." Wei Zheng nodded.
"Why is it impossible?" Li Er asked back.
"How old is King Yue, and his body has not yet matured, how can he have such skills?"
Wei Zheng said slowly: "Thousands of people are watching. Under such circumstances, even the commander of the Imperial Palace may not have the ability to enter the restaurant quietly."
"Didn't you say that the Yunyan restaurant opposite caught fire for no reason?"
There was a smile on the corner of Li Er's mouth.
"Could it be..."
Wei Zheng was startled, as if he had thought of something.
"Go back!"
Li Er directly waved away people.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wei Zheng bowed, then turned and left.
But there was still a deep shock in his eyes.
Looking at Wei Zheng's back, Li Er looked complicated, and muttered: "Xiao'er, how many secrets do you have..."
……
At the same time, outside the Lantian Restaurant.
"Your Highness, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave first." Yang Yong clasped his fists and said to Li Xiao respectfully.
"It's already here, don't rush to leave." Li Xiao called to stop Yang Yong, and then said slowly, "Do you know that this king was framed for poisoning others?"
"Your Highness, the humble official knows about this." Yang Yong nodded, "But the people in the government office are in charge of this matter..."
"Isn't the government office also under your Dali Temple?" Li Xiao asked back.
"I've probably figured this out already. You go back and tell the government office that a mysterious master is secretly plotting all this, and wants to put the blame on this king."
After a pause, Li Xiao went on to say, "It's not easy to catch people, this case probably won't be closed."
"Your Highness knows who did it?" Yang Yong asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I only know that he is a peerless powerhouse. This person can easily hide from the eyes of more than ten imperial guards in my restaurant, and thus sneak into the restaurant to poison."
"In the capital, there are not many such strong people..."
Yang Yong's eyes were thoughtful.
Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "Let me tell you the truth, my soap also has a deal with the palace, if it is poisonous, wouldn't I be finished already?"
"Furthermore, after selling so many, why did only a few yuan go wrong? Obviously, someone deliberately framed it. As for who it is, it depends on the ability of your Dali Temple."
"Understood, I will pass on His Highness's words to Lord Wei Zheng when I return from my humble position." Yang Yong nodded and said.
"Well, back off!"
Li Xiao waved his hand, then entered the restaurant.
"solved?"
Cheng Chumo looked at Li Xiao nervously.
"Well, it's solved." Li Xiao smiled slightly.
"Okay, Li Xiao!"
Cheng Chumo immediately patted Li Xiao on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "You really belonged to him. Not only did you rob someone's store, but you actually went to visit someone's warehouse secretly. How did you do it?"
"When did I say that I did it?" Li Xiao's face changed instantly, and his face became serious.
"Who else could it be if it's not you?" Cheng Chumo looked suspicious.
"Perhaps Changsun Wuji's political opponent?"
"Political enemy?" Cheng Chumo took a while to understand the word, and asked in confusion, "You mean his enemy?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go back and rest!"
After finishing speaking, Li Xiao turned around again and said seriously: "Be careful, it may not be peaceful in the near future."
He knew very well that after his operation, Changsun Wuji would never let it go.
This old fox is probably planning some trick against him right now!
……
A secret room.
Changsun Wuji lit a torch and walked slowly in the dark passage, his steps were slow.
In the darkness, a figure slowly appeared, revealing a beautiful face.
It was Liu Ruohan, Princess of Dongying.
"Plan ahead."
Changsun Wuji stopped and said lightly.
"Why? We agreed before..." Liu Ruohan asked, frowning slightly.
"No why!"
Changsun Wuji said expressionlessly: "Now only I can save your father. If you still want to see your father leave Chang'an alive, you can only listen to me."
Hearing this, Liu Ruohan drooped his eyes and said, "I hope you won't break your promise."
Changsun Wuji took a deep look at Liu Ruohan, then turned and left.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Li Xiao couldn't wait to take people back to Lantian Villa.
Zhao Yuntian didn't know when he had come back, and greeted him excitedly.
"Your Highness, do you have any arrangements for tonight? Where are you going?" Zhao Yuntian approached and asked in a low voice.
Chapter 159: Is this also called a magic weapon?
Hearing this, Li Xiao was speechless: "Go, go, how is Xue Rengui's training going? You go back and watch, don't let them be lazy."
"Your Highness, I was just about to report this matter to you!"
Zhao Yuntian said in a deep voice: "Commander Li's recruitment is very fast. There are hundreds of new recruits in the villa these days, and the training grounds are not enough."
"Then build a few more, and this matter will be implemented." Li Xiao said.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"By the way, ask Xue Rengui to come find me."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Li Xiao returned to his main hall.
But he found a big box in front of him.
Li Xiao looked familiar, and instantly recognized that this was the one that Zhao Yuntian snatched from the Changsun Mansion last night.
"What's there?"
Out of curiosity, Li Xiao opened the box.
The first thing that appeared in front of my eyes were a few daggers and short swords.
Seeing this, the corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.
His grandma's, after all the hard work last night, did Zhao Yuntian bring them out?
Li Xiao didn't hit a single point, and continued to scroll down.
Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gold and jewels.
It's just that the amount of gold and jewelry is not much.
The box weighed more than 100 kilograms, and these weapons accounted for more than half of it.
"Come on!"
Li Xiao shouted immediately.
"What do you want Your Highness to order?" A guard came in at the door.
"Call me Zhao Yuntian!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, Zhao Yuntian and Xue Rengui entered the hall together.
Li Xiao threw the dagger and short sword in the box in front of Zhao Yuntian, and said angrily, "Are you stupid? How much is this thing worth? I still carried it all the way."
"what?
"Zhao Yuntian was stunned, and quickly bent down to pick up the weapon on the ground, hugged it in his arms like a baby, and said: "Your Highness, these are all magical weapons made of black iron, and they cut iron like mud. ,baby! "
"Is this also called a magic weapon?" Li Xiao was speechless.
"The subordinates searched for a long time before they found these few." Zhao Yuntian said with an aggrieved face.
"It's just a pile of rubbish, look at your future."
Li Xiao gave Zhao Yuntian a white look.
"Your Highness said these are rubbish, so has His Highness seen better soldiers?"
Zhao Yuntian was a little unconvinced.
The space in the box was limited, so he specially threw away a lot of gold, silver and jewelry before he brought all the weapons.
