Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2195 The crime of treason

Deep night.

Chang'an City has already quieted down.

Even the people in Jingzhao Mansion have gone back to rest.

At Jinwang Mansion, Li Zhi was sleeping soundly.

And at this time, a close friend of Li Zhi hurriedly came to Prince Jin's Mansion.

"My lord, my lord..."

Li Zhi woke up from his sleep. Hearing the knock on the door outside, he was a little annoyed. At this time, who knocked on the door?

But he still sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, something happened, something serious happened, the secret passage in the city wall was discovered."

Hearing that the secret passage was discovered, Jin Wang Li Zhi immediately jumped off the bed.

"What's going on, how did the secret passage be discovered?"

"Tonight, there was a theft in Wei Wang's Mansion. People from Jingzhao Mansion and Wei Wang's Mansion chased the thief. When the thief ran to the city wall, he escaped from our secret passage. Now the people from Wei Wang's Mansion and Jing Everyone in the Zhao Mansion knows about it, so... we can't hide it."

After hearing what the servant said, Jin Wang Li Zhi's face became very ugly, and he soon thought, how could there be a thief in Wei Wang's mansion?

How could the thief know about the secret passage?
In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, Wei Wang Li Tai has been sending people to monitor him all the time, and Wei Wang Li Tai already knew about the secret way, but he didn't say anything about it at the time, just waiting for this time to make a fuss about it , in that case, he is afraid that he will be finished.

Li Zhi walked back and forth in the room, he was a little uneasy, how could such a thing happen?

What now, destroy the clues and evidence?

The secret passage of the city wall has been seen by so many people, and if they want to destroy it, is it easy?

And now, Wei Wang Li Tai probably sent someone to guard it, right?
This night, Li Zhi didn't go to rest anymore, he seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

Before dawn, Li Zhi hurried to Changsun Wuji's residence.

At this time, Changsun Wuji's house was very peaceful, and Changsun Wuji was still resting. When someone woke him up, Changsun Wuji's face was very ugly. He was getting old and his sleep quality was not very good, so he was able to fall asleep. He felt very happy.

But when he was sleeping soundly, someone woke him up. Can he not be angry?

"Master, don't be angry, Prince Jin is here. If he comes at this time, there must be something big. That's why the villain dared to wake you up, Master."

Hearing the arrival of Jin Wang Li Zhi, Changsun Wuji's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Why did he come at this time?
Before he had time to think about it, Changsun Wuji quickly put on his clothes and went out.

Here in the living room, Jin Wang Li Zhi has been waiting a little impatiently.

"His Royal Highness, why are you here?"

"Uncle, you must save me, you must save me."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji felt that the matter was more and more serious, and quickly asked: "What happened, His Highness Prince Jin, don't worry, tell me."

Jin Wang Li Zhi nodded, and then said: "Uncle, my nephew is so confused, so confused, my father asked me to be responsible for the construction of the city wall. I thought that if I could do some tricks on the city wall, it would be a way out after all, isn't it? No matter what happens, it can be used.”

Changsun Wuji was a little surprised when he heard this. There is a secret passage on the city wall?

He was a little shocked, there is a secret way, it is indeed a way out, but if this matter is discovered, it may be very serious, and Li Zhi is talking about this now, isn't it?

"The secret path was discovered?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Tonight, someone stole in Wei Wangfu, and the thief escaped from the secret passage. Now everyone in Jingzhao Mansion and Wei Wangfu knows, this... this must be Wei Wang who wants to frame me. ah."

As he said that, Li Zhi was on the verge of crying, and now he pinned his hopes on Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji's eyes were fixed, and he also felt that it was Li Tai, king of Wei, who was framing Li Zhi. Is the love gone?

However, the current Changsun Wuji didn't have time to think about it. He just frowned, and after a long time, he finally said: "This matter is serious. Someone will definitely attack His Royal Highness Jin Wang tomorrow morning. At that time, His Highness will bite you to death." Don't let it go, just talk about the secret way, no one knows, someone framed it, understand?"

"This... can it work?"

Changsun Wuji sighed, and said: "Whether it can be done or not depends on the Holy Majesty, but you have to say this, only in this way can you have a chance."

He didn't know if it was feasible, but they had no other choice now.

After Jin Wang Li Zhi listened, he could only respond quickly, and then hurried back to the mansion.

After he left like this, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but let out another long sigh. Now he really doubted whether he was right or wrong in choosing Jin Wang Li Zhi?

The sky is getting brighter, and the weather in late spring is not good.

It stands to reason that with such weather, everyone should be in a good mood, but only Wei Wang Li Tai is in a good mood.

The ministers came to the morning court one after another. The spirit of Jin Wang Li Zhi was not very good. After all, Changsun Wuji was an old fox. Even if such a thing happened, he was still able to keep calm.

When the officials went to the main hall, Li Shimin dared to ask who had something to play, and Wei Wang Li Tai stood up with his fat body.

"Father, my son has something to play."

Seeing Wei Wang Li Tai standing up, Li Shimin nodded and said, "What is there for Qing Que to play?"

"Father, a thief encountered a thief at my son's house last night and stole my son's jade seal."

Hearing this, Man Chao was shocked.

"What, there are such rampant thieves in Chang'an City, who even dare to steal the prince's jade seal?"

"What audacity. After catching him, he must be shredded into pieces."

"Damn, hate, who is so bold, did the thief get caught?"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, they did not close their doors at night in the Tang Dynasty and did not pick up lost things, but now even the palace has been robbed, isn't this a slap in the face?In the future, who would dare to say that they don't close their doors at night and don't pick up lost things in Tang Dynasty?
Li Shimin was also a little angry, and asked, "Have you found Yuxi?"

Wei Wang Li Tai nodded: "Returning to my father, I found the jade seal, but it was found outside Chang'an City. There was someone tampering with the newly built city wall. There was a secret road. The thief escaped through the secret road. So far, no one in Jingzhao Mansion has been able to find the thief, father, this thief is not ordinary."

The theft of the palace was already shocking, but after Wei Wang Li Tai said this, all the officials were even more surprised.

"What, there is a secret passage in the city wall?"
