Chapter 383
Li Ke wants to take Xiao Yuexian's brothel in Pingkangfang as his eyes and ears, but this is just something later, and he is not in a hurry. What Li Ke is really burning now is not this matter, but the case of the loss of ordnance.

Counting the time, the missing ordnance may have already arrived in Luoyang, and it will be sent to Chang'an in two days at the most. If he still has no idea by then, even if Li Shimin protects him by then, what will happen to him? Not too good either.

"Xian'er, since you are a disciple of Zuo Youxian, you should know why Zuo Youxian is in Suzhou." Li Ke asked Xiao Yuexian impatiently as he was still in the carriage returning to Linjiang Palace from the riverside.

The batch of ordnance in Suzhou is an important matter, Zuo Youxian went to Suzhou this time for this purpose, how could Xiao Yuexian not know, Xiao Yuexian replied: "Xian'er naturally knows, if it is not for that batch of ordnance, why would Zuo Shi take the risk He rushed to Suzhou and lost his life."

Li Ke then asked: "Then do you know where the lost ordnance is now?"

Xiao Yuexian asked in surprise after hearing the words: "Is that batch of ordnance really lost?"

Long before this, Xiao Yuexian had already guessed that the relationship between arms and weapons was very important, and Li Ke would not easily take the risk of arms and weapons as a pretext, and Duan Cui's intentions were not righteous, and there was never such a person under Li Ke's command. Will not be appointed.Taking advantage of the matter of ordnance to frame and kill Zuo Youxian may not be Li Ke's handwriting.

But this matter seemed to be true, and Duan Cui took Zuo Youxian's body to ask Li Ke for credit, so even though Xiao Yuexian had such a guess, he didn't dare to confirm it, but after hearing Li Ke's words just now, Xiao Yuexian could almost conclude It's up: Duan Cui must have done this behind Li Ke's back, and Li Ke doesn't know the truth behind it, otherwise Li Ke would never ask such a question.

Xiao Yuexian replied truthfully: "Returning to His Highness, our people have never seen that batch of ordnance from the beginning to the end, and we don't know where that batch of ordnance is now."

really!

As soon as Xiao Yuexian's words came out, Li Ke and Wang Xuance looked at each other and nodded at each other. According to Xiao Yuexian's words, the batch of ordnance was not in their hands at all, and they might not be the ones who robbed the batch of ordnance from Hengshan.

Li paused, then asked: "Since the weapons are not in your hands, why did Zuo Youxian die in the Swallow Valley of Qionglong Mountain with the carriage loaded with weapons?"

Xiao Yuexian replied: "Three days ago, I received a letter from Master Zuo, and Master Zuo got the news that the ordnance general would pass through the Swallow Valley of Qionglong Mountain before noon the next day, so he led his people to ambush, but he fell into a trap unexpectedly."

"That batch of weapons was clearly robbed at the foot of Hengshan Mountain at the acquaintance of Su and Chang. How did you get such false news?" Zuo Youxian and Xiao Yuexian are both teachers and friends, loyal and loyal, and will never deceive Xiao Yuexian, Zuo Youxian As written in Xian's letter, it can only be that the information Zuo Youxian got was wrong, so Li Ke asked puzzledly.

Xiao Yuexian replied: "Xian'er is single and weak, and the time is very short. I don't know what will happen after this incident."

The issue of ordnance is inherently sensitive, and since it involves Li Ke, everyone involved in this matter, whether they know it or not, chooses to keep silent, for fear that they will be found on him in the end. With Xiao Yuexian's current situation, he wants to find out who it is. The reason is naturally not easy.

Li Ke saw that Xiao Yuexian's expression did not seem to be fake, so he asked: "Then do you know who spread the news that the ordnance will pass through the Swallow Valley?"

Xiao Yuexian replied truthfully: "It's Duan Cui, the commander of the Gusu Mansion."

"Duan Cui, it really is him." Xiao Yuexian's words caught his ears, Li Ke lightly clenched his fists, and said to Wang Xuance beside him.

In Xiao Yuexian's eyes, at Li Ke's age, although he can't be flattered or humiliated, but not everything will be written on his face, especially Duan Cui, who should be a small person in Li Ke's eyes.

Xiao Yuexian asked: "Your Highness, did you notice something wrong?"

Li Ke nodded, and took out a letter from his sleeve. This letter was exactly what Duan Cui claimed to have found from Zuo Youxian, and Li Ke handed it to Xiao Yuexian.

Li Ke said to Xiao Yuexian: "Just read this letter."

Xiao Yuexian looked at this letter, but after a few glances, he was startled, and quickly explained: "Your Highness, we have absolutely nothing to say in the letter, and I hope His Highness will see clearly."

Whether Zuo Youxian has done anything in this letter, Li Ke is also very clear in his heart, this letter is digging a hole for Li Chengqian from the beginning to the end, how can Li Ke not see it.

Li Ke said: "You have nothing to do with Li Chengqian, and what is said in this letter is not true. This king knows this matter well, but if you look at the words on this letter, it is Zuo Youxian's handwriting."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuexian held the letter in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he looked on his face, because the letter was undoubtedly written by Zuo Youxian.

Xiao Yuexian returned the letter in his hand to Li Ke, and replied: "This letter is indeed written by Master Zuo himself, but the content of this letter is definitely not what Master Zuo intended. Master Zuo has absolutely no possibility of colluding with the prince."

Li Ke held the letter in his hand, raised it, and said: "Of course this letter cannot be Zuo Youxian's intention, because this letter was written by someone forcing Zuo Youxian before his death."

Xiao Yuexian felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard the words, she couldn't believe what Zuo Youxian experienced in Swallow Valley.

Xiao Yuexian gritted her silver teeth and asked, "Does Your Highness know who forged this letter?"

Li Ke didn't answer Xiao Yuexian's words, put away the letter in his hand, and asked instead: "What do you think?"

Xiao Yuexian was intelligent, after thinking for a while, he understood, and replied: "Duan Cui, this must be Duan Cui's doing."

Prior to this, Xiao Yuexian had already guessed about Duan Cui, but now with Li Ke's words, he is even more certain now.

But Li Ke looked at Xiao Yuexian, but said: "Duan Cui, yes or no."

Xiao Yuexian listened to Li Ke's words, thought for a while, and understood Li Ke's meaning.

As the king of Chu, Li Ke is the governor of Yangzhou who patrols the southeast with festivals, and the strong southeast king. What is he, Duan Cui, and how can he have the courage to fight against Li Ke? .

Moreover, looking at Li Ke's appearance, Xiao Yuexian obviously already had a guess in his heart, most likely because he vaguely knew who the person behind Duan Cui was.

Since the person behind Duan Cui dared to touch Li Ke, he was naturally a giant in the court, which was unusual. Given Xiao Yuexian's current situation, it was inconvenient to ask about this person's identity. Duan Cui killed him."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Yes, there is no one else except Duan Cui."

Xiao Yuexian asked: "Duan Cui is so bold that he dares to be an enemy of His Highness, but how does His Highness plan to deal with him?"

Xiao Yuexian seemed to be asking Li Ke how he planned to deal with Duan Cui, but in fact he wanted Duan Cui's life to avenge Zuo Youxian.

Li Ke knew Xiao Yuexian's current intentions, Li Ke said: "At present, the king has no evidence in his hands, and Duan Cui can't move easily."

Xiao Yuexian is a remnant of the remnants of the beam, so her words will naturally not go to court, nor can it be witnessed by witnesses. It is not difficult for Li Ke to move Duan Cui, but right now there is no evidence in hand, and Li Ke doesn't care much about Duan Cui's life or death. It was the ordnance.

Xiao Yuexian worried: "Could it be possible to let Duan Cui fail to accomplish this?"

Li Ke said: "The most urgent task now is to find the lost ordnance, and then follow the vine to find out what happened to Duan Cui. Don't worry, as long as you help me find the ordnance, I will send Duan Cui's head to you sooner or later. "
