Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2197
Although I feel that this may be the disagreement between Jin Wang Li Zhi and Wei Wang Li Tai.

But in Li Shimin's heart, he still hoped that it wasn't one of them.

So, he didn't want to check.

But what the ministers said is also reasonable, tampering with the city wall is to plot evil.

Thinking of his incident at the Xuanwu Gate, he was suddenly afraid that he would suffer the same fate as his father Li Yuan. If his prince also staged a coup, wouldn't he want to become the Supreme Emperor?
Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt that what these officials said was very reasonable. Even if he didn't want to hurt his prince, he still had to know who did the tricks on the city wall. In this case, it was the safest thing for him .

The officials were muttering non-stop, Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Okay, you Aiqing are right, if that's the case, then leave this matter to Jin Yiwei, Yuan Lou, you must take care of this matter." Check things out."

This matter involved the prince, so it was difficult to handle, but Yuan Lou didn't show the slightest fear, and quickly nodded in agreement.

After talking about this matter in the early court, he said some other things one after another, and finally retreated after talking like this.

After retiring from the court, Yuan Lou began to send people to investigate the case.

This case started with the loss of the jade seal in the Wei Palace. It stands to reason that he should start the investigation from here, but he directly took people to investigate the people who built the city wall before.

For him, the person who built that section of the city wall is the most important thing. As for the theft of Wei Wangfu, although there are some doubts, it is not very serious. He just needs to send other people to check it out.

The people who built the city wall are actually recorded, and this record can be found in the Ministry of Industry.

After Yuan Lou came to the Ministry of Industry, he asked the people in the Ministry of Industry to bring out the list of people who built the city wall at that time.

Jin Yiwei has a lot of power, and the people here in the Ministry of Industry dare not offend them, so they immediately gave Yuan Lou what he wanted.

The construction of the city tower was a large project, which took almost two years, and almost [-] craftsmen and common people participated.

With so many people, it is not easy to find out who built a certain section of the city wall.

Of course, it's not difficult, it's just time-consuming.

After these people from Jinyiwei got it, they didn't leave the Ministry of Industry, and directly searched in the Ministry of Industry.

After half a day, they found out who built that section of the city wall.

That section of the city wall was not very big, in fact, there were a hundred or so people involved. Yuan Lou ordered people to record the names and other identities and addresses of these people, and then immediately began to conduct investigations on these people one by one. cross-examination.

The first person they asked was a man named Luo Xing.

This person was considered the little boss of that section at the time, so it was naturally the most convenient and quick way to ask him.

However, when Jinyiwei found Luo Xing's home, they were told that Luo Xing had died long ago.

"Dead?" Yuan Lou frowned, he was a little surprised, how did that Luo Xing die.

"How did you die?"

The person who was questioned was Luo Xing's wife. He is now a widow, but he is almost forty and looks old, so no one is interested in him.

"It was when the city wall was being repaired that an accident happened accidentally and he died. At that time, the court gave him a lot of compensation."

After hearing Mrs. Luo Xing's words, Yuan Lou faintly felt that something was wrong. Building the city wall was a hard job, but there were not many accidents.

"Did Luo Xing do anything special when building the city wall?"

"This……"

"Say!"

Yuan Lou's tone was cold, Luo Xing's wife seemed to know how powerful Jin Yiwei was, and she didn't dare to hide it, she said, "It seems that he also goes to work at night, but only for a few days."

"Working at night?" This makes people feel very strange. It is rare to work at night when building a city tower. That Luo Xing actually works at night. Obviously, he is going to do tricks on the city wall.

After inquiring about Luo Xing's wife, Yuan Lou immediately sent people out, asking them to inquire everyone, while he went back to Jinyiwei Station to wait for news.

The addresses of these people are all there, and it is not difficult to inquire. Those who were sent out got news that night.

"Master Commander, that Li Shisan is missing."

"Master Commander, the person we went to investigate died, and it seems that there was an accident."

"Master Commander, the person we investigated is missing."

"........."

The people sent out were either dead or missing. Yuan Lou's face changed drastically after hearing this. If that Luo Xing died in an accident, it would be reasonable, but so many people had accidents or disappeared? It's a bit unreasonable, right?

Obviously, someone wanted to kill someone to silence them.

But these people, who can kill them all?

"Is there no one alive?" Yuan Lou asked, those Jinyi guards looked at each other, but they didn't see anyone alive.

Without them answering, Yuan Lou already understood what was going on.

"How many people didn't ask?"

"There are only a dozen or so people left?"

"Okay, send someone to inquire. Also, let me investigate the hundred or so people in detail. Even if he is dead, I still need to know if he is really dead. If he is missing, I also want to know him. Wherever you are now, this matter is very important, let me investigate it as soon as possible, if the investigation fails, all of you will be punished."

This time it was obviously going to be serious. After Yuan Lou said this, the Jin Yiwei didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly nodded in response.

When these people left, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yuan Lou's mouth. It was a bit too strange for a hundred people to die and disappear like this, but he didn't believe that all of them were dead.

There are a hundred people, it is not easy for the people behind the scenes to kill people and destroy their corpses.

However, although nothing has been called out yet, Yuan Lou actually already understood what was going on in his heart. He was able to make so many people disappear, and he hadn't made any movement before that. At that time, Jin Wang Li Zhi, who else could do it?
Of course, even if he thought it was Jin Wang Li Zhi, as long as there was no real evidence, he would not tell Li Shimin unless there was solid evidence.

The Jinyi Guards in Chang'an City began to act. This time, Yuan Lou dispatched more than 2000 Jinyi Guards. They not only wanted to investigate, but also kept a close eye on them. As long as they had some doubts, they had to take action immediately.

As long as people are caught, everything will be fine.
