The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2219

"Oh? Let's hear it." Li Chengqian said.

"As a result of my investigation, all of them point to Mr. Lai Junchen. Some people in Chang'an City once witnessed someone carrying a murder weapon into Mr. Lai Junchen's house." Di Renjie said.

"What about the physical evidence?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I don't dare to do anything to Mr. Lai until the minister is not confirmed. Therefore, no physical evidence has been found." Di Renjie said.

"So the conclusion you draw now is just hearsay in Chang'an City." Li Chengqian said.

Di Renjie was taken aback for a moment, and then he could only nod in response.

"Yes."

"There is no evidence for the accusation, and I can't just believe that you are not, but there is another thing to find you today." Li Chengqian said: "Did Dali Temple transfer Zhao Zheng to Lai Junchen yesterday?"

"Exactly." Di Renjie replied.

"After Lai Junchen took him away, he imprisoned Zhao Zheng in the cell of the Chang'an government office, but this morning, Zhao Zheng died in the cell of the government office, and committed suicide by taking poison." Li Chengqian said.

"How could this be?" Di Renjie said in surprise: "When I saw Zhao Zheng, I didn't find anything unusual about Zhao Zheng, and he definitely wouldn't think about it by himself."

"How do you know what Zhao Zheng is thinking?" Li Chengqian asked with a smile.

"Zhao Zheng came to Chang'an to take revenge." Di Renjie said: "He has the obsession with revenge in his heart, but now, he has accomplished nothing and instead tossed himself into a prison cell. He must not be reconciled in his heart, so he will not easily die, unless there is another reason for this."

Li Chengqian nodded: "Of course there is a reason for this. Lai Junchen said that it was only a day's work to go to the prison cell of the Chang'an government office, and Zhao Zheng's death, you people in Dali Temple, cannot get rid of the responsibility."

"It's impossible." Di Renjie denied.

"How is it impossible?" Di Renjie said, "Lai Junchen went to the prison cell of the Chang'an government office, but after only seeing Zhao Zheng once, he went back and prepared to interrogate Zhao Zheng. As a result, Zhao Zheng died of taking arsenic that night. , you can’t say that Junchen wanted to kill Zhao Zheng, right? I would like to hear how you, Di Aiqing, explain this matter.”

"Minister" Di Renjie pondered again in his mind, should he tell His Majesty what Zhao Zheng said to him before he left the cell in Dali Temple.

But even if it is said, is it useful?Today, there is no evidence.

He clearly knew that Lai Junchen was behind this, but he suffered from lack of evidence, and now that Lai Junchen is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, if he said it rashly, would His Majesty think that he was accusing Lai Junchen of false accusations?

"If you have something to say, you might as well just say it." Li Chengqian also saw Di Renjie's face, and also saw that Di Renjie seemed to have something hard to say.

"Before Zhao Zheng left from Dali Temple, he said something to the minister." After deliberating over it, Di Renjie felt that it would be better to tell the matter.

The matter has reached this point, and it is no longer possible to hide it. If this continues, when Lai Junchen has a big advantage in his hands, he will be in danger.

"What?" Li Chengqian asked.

"When Zhao Zheng was taken away, he might have already thought about his end. Therefore, when he left, he told the minister that Lai Junchen was behind this matter." Di Renjie said: "I know that the minister is talking about this now It is inevitable that there will be suspicions of slandering Lai Junchen, but this matter is true, and the minister did not lie. Moreover, Zhao Zheng had already been searched when he was imprisoned in Dali Temple. If there is arsenic, the guards of Dali Temple will definitely not fail to find it. Therefore, the minister believes that the arsenic that Zhao Zheng took was obtained after Zhao Zheng was taken out of Dali Temple. As for who gave it to him? , and when he got it, there is no way of knowing."

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and nodded.

After listening to Di Renjie's words, Li Chengqian thought about what Lai Junchen said, and what Lai Junchen said was a little far-fetched.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask me to investigate this matter?" Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie is indeed eager to get the right to investigate the case, otherwise, he will always be in a passive state.

"No need for now." Li Chengqian said: "You don't have to do anything now, go to the cell and think about it first, but don't worry, I let you enter the cell for my own purpose, not because of your crime. What's the matter."

Li Chengqian's words made Di Renjie very puzzled. Although he didn't know what His Majesty wanted to do, there must be something wrong with His Majesty's words. Could it be that Lai Junchen showed something wrong in front of His Majesty?
During the toss and turn, Di Renjie thought a lot in his heart.

"No matter what His Majesty arranges, I will obey." Di Renjie cupped his hands and said.

"That's good." Li Chengqian said: "From now on, there will be a play between you and my monarch and ministers."

"I won't call to stop, and you must not show your feet. Only you and I know about this matter. Even if it is Qi Guogong's side, you are not allowed to leak any information." Li Chengqian said with a serious face.

"Yes, I obey the order." Di Renjie clapped his hands in response.

Li Chengqian would definitely be skeptical about such things as forming a party for personal gain if someone else changed them, and they would have to deal with them after they were found out. However, he still has trust in the character of Di Renjie and Xuan Shijing, and now he wants to suppress the Xuan family. , It is just following the trend and paving the way for the current prince, that is, the future emperor.

What happened in Chang'an City, especially what happened in Dali Temple, Xuan Shijing can know that Di Renjie played a big role in it, but Li Chengqian also knows that Di Renjie notified Xuan Shijing, this is nothing, It's not that Li Chengqian can't bear it.

But Xuan Shijing can't let Xuan Shijing know about this matter.

In Li Chengqian's mind, he had a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Perhaps, he might not be able to kill a few birds.

"Come here!" Li Chengqian called out.

"What is your Majesty's order?" The servant outside Hanyuan Hall walked in.

"Let the Imperial Forest Army outside come in, take Di Renjie away, and put him in the cell of Dali Temple." Li Chengqian ordered.

"Yes." The waiter said.

Afterwards, the Yulin Army came in and took Di Renjie down.

Lin'an Cheng stood by and watched without saying a word. He didn't know what His Majesty meant, and how he behaved so well, so he poured Master Di into it. What exactly does this mean?
Could it be that His Majesty wants to believe Lai Junchen's words, or is there any other meaning in it?
Lin'an felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
