The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 383
"If you die in front of this king, then this king will not be able to explain to your master." Li Yuanfang said after pulling Mo Lingzi back from the ghost gate.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" At this moment, Mo Lingzi had already seen Li Chengqian, and he never thought that Li Chengqian would appear at this time.

"If I don't come, my captain Huang Wei will be gone. Do you think I can't come?" Li Chengqian said to Mo Lingzi.

"It's because my subordinates couldn't understand the rampantness of the Twelve Imperial Guards, so they killed them all. But I didn't expect to implicate you, Your Highness. This subordinate really deserves death." Mo Lingzi said with a look of resignation.

"Okay, now you don't have to do this anymore. What's more, all of you have fallen into Di Renjie's trick." Li Chengqian said after shaking his head helplessly.

At this time, the two Huobao brothers also walked over dejectedly, and came directly in front of Mo Lingzi.He didn't say anything, just patted Mo Lingzi on the shoulder.

Mo Lingzi was dumbfounded this time, he really couldn't figure out what happened.So he looked at the two brothers of the living treasure with a questioning look.

"Don't look at us brothers, let that bastard Di Renjie tell you." The boss Mingyu pointed to Di Renjie who was beside Li Chengqian.

At this time, Di Renjie was smiling all over his face, and pointed at the demon, "If I don't tell you the news about the clues you left, how can I be sure that Master did this?"

"Could it be that you didn't find any clues at all, just to make Pindao fall into the trap?" Mo Lingzi said with a surprised expression.

"This kid is playing tricks, the three of us have been deceived by this kid." The second child Ming Guo nodded and said.

"Your Highness is your master, you will be nurtured by His Highness today. Why did you set up a trap to harm Your Highness today?" Mo Lingzi asked with a gloomy face.

"If Di Renjie really wanted to cheat his master, it wouldn't be just me and Di Renjie who are here today." Li Yuanfang said to Mo Lingzi.

This time Mo Lingzi was even more confused. Could it be that Li Yuanfang and Li Yuanchang did not vent their anger through the same nostrils?

And Li Yuanfang naturally saw Mo Lingzi's thoughts, so he said with a smile: "Although Lao Qi and I are brothers. But don't forget, your master is still my nephew?"

"Uncle Nine Emperors, are you going to chat here until dawn? Is it more appropriate for us to chat in another place?" Li Chengqian who was on the side asked.

"If you change places, you have to change places. And without you, this king might not be able to enter this place." Li Yuanfang smiled and pointed in the direction of Juewei Tower.

"Don't you just want to go to Jueweilou for a drink? Could it be that if you go to Jiuhuangshu, there are still people who dare to turn you away?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Naturally there is no problem at ordinary times, but it may not be so in the middle of the night." Li Yuanfang laughed after finishing speaking.

……

"Your Majesty, something happened in Changlefang last night." In the Taiji Hall, Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

"Isn't it the matter of King Lu's bodyguard being killed? Have you found any good clues?" Li Shimin asked Changsun Wuji expressionlessly.

"Your Majesty, it's best for Di Renjie and His Royal Highness King Zhou to discuss this with the Emperor in person." Changsun Wuji said to Li Shimin.

"It's mysterious, so let them in quickly. I want to see how they explain it to me." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

Not long after, Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang walked into the Tai Chi Hall, and first asked Li Shimin for the ceremony of being a monarch and minister.Di Renjie spoke first, "Your Majesty, there was a fire in Changle Square last night."

"What did you say? Why did Changlefang catch fire for no reason. Where was the place that was burned?" Li Shimin asked Di Renjie.

"The place that was burned was the courtyard where the guards of His Royal Highness King Lu lived. As for the way the fire started, it was caused by a lightning strike." Di Renjie said without hesitation.

It is said that the fire was caused by lightning, which inevitably made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty feel strange.After all, last night was full of stars.How could there be lightning?

Seeing the civil and military officials whispering to each other, Li Shimin said straight away: "It's nonsense, the queen and I were watching the moon in the imperial garden last night. Why didn't we see the cloudy clouds, lightning and thunder?"

"Your Majesty, Di Renjie did not lie. This is what I saw with my own eyes. At that time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, flying sand and rocks, and dozens of lightning bolts hit the courtyard."

"This caused a raging fire to ignite in the house. The soldiers who were in charge of the martial law at the beginning wanted to fight the fire. But later they could only watch the fire and sigh. All the soldiers on duty last night can testify to this." Li Yuanfang said to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin heard Li Yuanfang's words, he nodded and asked Manchu Wenwu: "Did you see lightning and thunder last night?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they didn't hear the thunder at all.Not to mention flying sand and rocks and dark clouds.

But at this time, the general of the Zuo Yulin Army stood up.And he opened his mouth and said to Li Shimin: "Report to the emperor, what King Zhou said is true. I was also in Changlefang last night."

Hearing the words of General Zuo Yulin Army, Li Shimin's face no longer had any trace of doubt.Instead, believe it.

Seeing that Li Shimin had already believed him, Di Renjie said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it is said that the guards of His Royal Highness King Lu will kill themselves if they do many unrighteous actions."

"Rumors are spreading all over the place now. They all say it is true. Even if their souls have returned to the underworld, God is unwilling to let it go. That's why such a thunderstorm was sent last night, and these tigers and wolves who oppressed Liming were wiped out."

"Although this is just a rumor, it is not credible. But now it is even more difficult to find the murderer. After all, the scene has been destroyed by fire."

"Your Majesty, I feel that someone sneaked in last night and set off the fire. Di Renjie and King Zhou were afraid that the Emperor would punish them for their negligence of duty, so they made up such a lie." Come out and say.

"Aren't you going to tell the emperor again that the general of the Zuo Yulin army he trusts the most is also lying with this king?" Li Yuanfang glared at Zheng Guo and said.

Zheng Guo, the censor of Yushitai, was tongue-tied when asked by Li Yuanfang, so he could only stammer, "This is just my speculation."

After finishing speaking, he stood obediently aside, not daring to say anything more.

And Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded at this time.And said directly: "Then this case is dead without evidence?"
