Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 253 The Journey to the Eastern Palace
Chang'an City is still prosperous and lively.

Regarding the theft of the East Palace, although it has spread, it has not affected everyone's enthusiasm, but has created topics for those who have nothing to talk about.

At least when Qin Tian walked past these people, he could hear them talking.

"Oh, the East Palace has been stolen. Who would dare to steal the East Palace?"

"There are a lot of brave people in the world these days. There is nothing in the East Palace that you dare not steal."

"Shh, you don't want to die, you dare to say such a thing."

"So what, I didn't steal it."

"Forget it……"

When Qin Tian came to the Eastern Palace, the Eastern Palace was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was very dignified, giving people a particularly uneasy feeling.

Qin Tian notified his name, and was led inside by a guard not long after.

In the courtyard, Li Jiancheng was angry, and the person he reprimanded was Wu Jian.

"Your Jingzhao Mansion is simply a bunch of trash. You even let thieves steal into my East Palace. Do you know what kind of crime this is? Your Jingzhao Mansion is dereliction of duty. Believe it or not, the crown prince will dismiss you tomorrow..."

Li Jiancheng's anger was a bit terrifying, Wu Jian was just a small captor, and he was silent at this moment, terrified.

Prince, he didn't even have the chance to see the prince before, and now he felt that he might die at any time.

And at this moment, Qin Tian walked over.

"His Royal Highness, the East Palace has been stolen. Just find the stolen things. If you reprimand Wu Butou like this, I'm afraid it won't help the matter. Wu Butou can't command and arrest the thieves here, but it will delay the matter."

As he said that, Qin Tian walked over. He didn't feel any fear at all. Li Jiancheng was both happy and angry when he saw that Qin Tian dared to come to his East Palace.

What was angry was that Qin Tian was so bold and didn't take him seriously as the prince at all. What was happy was that since Qin Tian had come, he could find trouble for Qin Tian because of the dereliction of duty in the Jingzhao Mansion. .

"Hmph, if your Jingzhao Mansion had taken all precautions, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. Now that my East Palace goods have been stolen, you Jingzhao Mansion don't drive. What do you have to say?"

Li Jiancheng's tone was very cold, and his eyes looked at him with hatred. Qin Tian said, "What did His Royal Highness lose?"

"Come on!"

Soon, a guard made a list of the lost items. Qin Tian was a little shocked after reading it.

"so much?"

"Is there a problem?" Li Jiancheng asked coldly.

"Of course there is a problem. The East Palace is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for assassins to enter, let alone thieves. It is really strange that so many things have been stolen by thieves. How did the thief do it? Or, the East Palace has no Guards?"

After Qin Tian's words came out, Li Jiancheng's cheeks blushed immediately. If the East Palace was really heavily guarded, it would be a problem whether the thief could come in, let alone steal things out.

But tonight, the security of the East Palace is not strict.

Two days ago, Li Jiancheng got a woman. He doted on this woman very much. On Lantern Festival, when this woman wanted to go out to play, Li Jiancheng allowed it, and sent most of the guards in the house to protect her.

But who would have thought that this would make the Crown Princess and other concubines of the Eastern Palace jealous, so they all ran out to play one after another, and they also brought their guards to protect them.

After going back and forth like this, there are very few guards left in the East Palace, almost none.

This gave the thieves a chance.

However, Li Jiancheng didn't want people to know about this, so he frowned suddenly: "Now that things are stolen, you can tell me what to do, these things are very valuable, and the most important thing is that these thieves actually stole The Crown Prince is on the head, and the Crown Prince must not spare them, and your Jingzhao Mansion must solve the case as soon as possible."

Having said that, Li Jiancheng said, "I'll give you three days. If you can't solve the case, the crown prince will punish you for dereliction of duty."

With such a good opportunity to teach Qin Tian a lesson, Li Jiancheng would not let it go, although he also hoped that the things he had stolen would be recovered.

Qin Tian knew that as long as he came, nothing good would happen, but he just smiled lightly: "Three days are enough, and within three days, I will definitely help His Royal Highness recover those stolen things."

Li Jiancheng nodded: "Okay, remember what you said today."

Qin Tian nodded, and continued, "Retire."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wu Jian: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take people to arrest those thieves."

These words were equivalent to saving Wu Jian, so he didn't dare to hesitate, Wu Jian hurriedly followed Qin Tian, ​​and Li Jiancheng couldn't stop him.

After leaving the East Palace, Wu Jian quickly thanked him: "Thank you Lord Qin, if it wasn't for you, I'm afraid I would die in the East Palace today."

Qin Tian glanced at him: "There is no need to thank you, you have worked so hard these days, just search for the traces of those thieves for me."

"My lord, don't worry." As he said that, Wu Jian suddenly remembered something, and asked, "My lord, don't you want to visit the scene of the crime?"

"Haven't you already seen it? What else do I need to see? Just tell me about the situation."

"The warehouse in the East Palace was stolen, and the door was kicked open. There are not many traces left inside. This group of people seems to be veterans."

A lot of goods were stolen, and it must not be a single person, there is no doubt about this.

Qin Tian nodded: "Okay, I understand. In this way, after you go back, you mobilize all the forces you can mobilize to search for me in Chang'an City. The bigger the momentum, the better. After the momentum is built, you can find me again." A coffin..."

Wu Jian took the order, and immediately followed what Qin Tian said. Qin Tian didn't go back, but went directly to the Tiger Wolf Army.

The Tiger Wolf Army is also defending Gyeonggi, and many of them are not idle tonight, but things like theft are out of their control.

After arriving at the Tiger Wolf Army, Pan Hu immediately greeted him: "Master Qin, I heard that the East Palace was stolen, so you came at this time, but for this matter?"

The East Palace was stolen, and it has already spread throughout Chang'an.

Qin Tian nodded: "It is indeed for this matter. In the past few days, the officials of my Jingzhao Mansion will search everywhere to find traces of thieves, but the power of Jingzhao Mansion is weaker, so tomorrow I will invite the brothers from the Tiger Wolf Army Please help me a lot."

"Of course there is no problem with this. I will ask the Tiger Wolf Army to help search tomorrow."

For Qin Tian's request, Pan Hu agreed without hesitation, and Qin Tian bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and then hurriedly went to the Prince Qin's mansion without stopping.

Chang'an City is really too big, even if people from Jingzhao Mansion and Tiger Wolf Army are dispatched, it will not be easy to search Chang'an City within three days, so he hopes to use Li Shimin's strength as well.

As a prince, he still has influence in Chang'an City, so it shouldn't be difficult to help him.
