Chapter 234 Chapter 242: Fighting for Santai

That night, five men in black took advantage of the cover of the night to quietly come to the largest Santai gambling house in Fenglefang. However, when the five men in black sneaked into the backyard, they found that there was no one there. Searched everywhere in the room, but didn't even see a person, so they had to return in vain.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanchang went to the East Palace to meet Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian had already dealt with the person who joined Yu Santai, creating the illusion of falling into the water and drowning. When Li Yuanchang told Li Chengqian the news of Yu Santai's disappearance, , Li Chengqian's heart suddenly turned cold. The sudden disappearance of such a key person means something. Anyway, this is not a good omen. When he thought of the poisonous chicken wishbone flowing into the Taiji Palace and poisoning a talented person, Li Chengqian was terrified. , trembling all over, he seemed to have seen Li Shimin decree to abolish his crown prince.

Seeing Li Chengqian's appearance like this, Li Yuanchang naturally couldn't be happy as a good friend, so he worked together to find a way for him. After a long time, Li Yuanchang, who was still outside the office, was still smart, and suggested: "Chengqian, why don't you ask Zhao Guogong for help."

Li Chengqian saw a glimmer of hope when he heard the words, and shouted excitedly: "Yes! Yes! Helan Chushi, go and summon Zhao Guogong, and say that you have something important to ask."

After more than half an hour, Zhao Guogong's eldest grandson Wuji came to the East Palace in a hurry to meet Li Chengqian. Since the eldest grandson Wuji didn't like to see Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanchang hid in the inner room in advance to avoid it.

Changsun Wuji first greeted Li Chengqian with the courtesy of a monarch and minister (the crown prince is also a monarch), and Li Chengqian returned a junior ceremony for a nephew to meet his uncle, and then Changsun Wuji asked: "Your Highness is so urgent to call the old minister, why do you know?"

Like a child who has done something wrong, Li Chengqian pretended to be annoyed, lowered his head and said, "Uncle, I made a mistake, a big mistake."

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked, "What... what did you do again?" He used the word "you", obviously, he knew everything Li Chengqian had done before.

Li Chengqian forcefully squeezed out a few tears, raised his head and cried, "I sent someone to poison the poison in Li's chicken wishbone shop."

"What!" Changsun Wuji was shocked, and then stomped his feet angrily, "You... how can you be so confused!"

"Uncle, I know I'm wrong, please save me, you must save me." Li Chengqian pounced on him, knelt down in front of Changsun Wuji, hugged Changsun Wuji's leg, howling dryly, "If you are killed by your father The emperor knows that he will definitely abolish me, uncle, I know I was wrong, you must save me, now only you can save me..."

"Get up! Get up! How decent are you..." Changsun Wuji finally pulled Li Chengqian to his feet with repeated efforts, and scolded, "As the prince of a country, you can only kneel down to your parents, how can you be careless?" kneel!"

Li Chengqian raised his sleeves to wipe away the only trace of tears, and mourned: "Mother passed away, uncle, you are my mother's elder brother, to Chengqian, you are equivalent to mother."

Changsun Wuji's heart softened when he heard the words, yes, his sister is dead, and he is the only uncle he can rely on, besides, he has always supported Li Chengqian unswervingly, now that Li Chengqian is in trouble, How could he stand by and watch, so he softened his tone and said slowly: "Is there something wrong, please tell me carefully."

Even if Li Chengqian told the story of what he had done, when he heard that Yu Santai was missing, he couldn't help frowning, narrowing his eyes and sighing: "This matter...don't be underestimated, if this is Yu Santai's It’s easy to escape by yourself, but if you are robbed by someone who wants to disturb the situation, even if you can keep your position as the crown prince, you will not escape the thunderous wrath of your father.”

"No! Don't let the emperor know!" Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly and shouted in panic.

"Calm down!" Changsun Wuji scolded him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Leave this matter to me. You stay in the East Palace well. You are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are not allowed to see anyone. Also, don't do anything." Do it and wait for my news."

"Yes, Chengqian always listens to uncle, all of them listen to uncle." Li Chengqian kept making promises, not half a prince's demeanor.

Looking at Datang, apart from Li Shimin, there are almost no people who can wrestle with Changsun Wuji. Now that Changsun Wuji has taken over this matter, Li Chengqian feels relieved.

Changsun Wuji returned home and issued an order. Immediately, all the hidden lines of Changsun's family lurking in Chang'an City became active, looking for traces of Yu Santai everywhere, like a net of heaven and earth, Changsun Wuji's power can be seen.

While Li Chengqian and Li Tai were busy competing for Yu Santai, Cheng Yaojin also sent people to search for the registration information of those who bought arsenic in all the pharmacies within the Jingzhao area of ​​Chang’an, but the results were not satisfactory. There were 68 in the Jingzhao area. In the pharmacy, in the past seven days, five taels of arsenic were sold the most, and they were purchased by three different people. There were no repeat purchases of arsenic in other pharmacies.

Lu Yun handed over the obtained information overnight to Hu Xiaohai for integration. Hu Xiaohai used the list method to compare and immediately found the problem. The sales of arsenic in the 25 pharmacies in the three cities of Chang'an, Lantian, and Jingyang were problematic. They made false accounts, but three days ago, their sales of arsenic had a very significant increase. The sales of arsenic in three days was more than the previous month.

Early this morning, Lu Yun told Cheng Yaojin the news, and Cheng Yaojin immediately sent people to check the dozens of people who bought arsenic, and finally found one thing in common, most of these people who bought arsenic were in the Many of the hooligans in Fengle Fang are gamblers, and they often haunt Santai Casino.

Cheng Chumo used to be a big dude in Chang'an, and he knew everything about the underworld in Chang'an, when he mentioned Fengle Fang and Santai Casino, he immediately thought of a person, the owner of Santai Casino, Yu Santai.

Lu Yun locked his target on Yu Santai. He went to Santai Casino to inquire, and the result he got was: Yu Santai was missing.

After Cheng Yaojin got the news, he immediately sent people to search for Yu Santai in the city. He was sure that this poisoning case was definitely related to Yu Santai. Li Hao, since he had already entered last time, it was not easy for the prison guards to stop him this time. Again, only one person can enter. This time, it was still Lu Yun who entered. After all, he was the only one who could understand Li Hao's code words.

Lu Yun was led by the prison guards to Li Hao's cell, and Li Hao was sleeping again. With his lazy character, what else could he do in prison except sleep.

"Master, I'm here to see you." Lu Yun called inside.

Li Hao sat up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, yawned, jumped out of bed and came to the prison door, only one meter away from Lu Yun.
"Tsk tsk tsk" Li Hao sized Lu Yun up and said with a smack of tongue, "Look at your dark circles, where did you go to play last night?"

Lu Yun said indifferently: "I gambled all night at Santai Casino."

The jailer at the side looked at Lu Yun suspiciously after hearing the words, and thought to himself: "Is this guy sick? His master has been imprisoned, and he still has the mind to go to the gambling house to gamble, and he gambles all night. It’s a gamble, and if you say it openly, you won’t be afraid that his master will be angry.”

Li Hao was not angry, and even his expression didn't change much, he asked, "Who is in charge of Santai Casino?"

"Of course it's Yu Santai, the boss of the casino." Lu Yun said blankly, "Unfortunately, after he won a large sum of money yesterday, he couldn't find anyone else."

"Oh..." Li Hao nodded, he had already received a secret message from Lu Yun that the poisoner was Yu Santai, who has disappeared now.

Li Hao chatted with Lu Yun again, seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, the king of Wei came to visit me yesterday and said he could save me and asked me to beg him. You said it was ridiculous .”

Lu Yun said indifferently: "The young master is a tough one, and he doesn't ask for help easily." He also received a code word from Li Hao, and Wei Wang Li Tai might know the clue.

"Isn't that right, who am I! I'm Li Shikuang..." Li Hao pretended to chat for a long time, and said a lot of shameless words, which made the jailer blush. It was the first time I saw such a shameless person.

After a while, Lu Yun walked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Cheng Yaojin had been waiting on the carriage outside the door. Lu Yun came to the front of the carriage and bowed towards the carriage, saying: "My lord, the villain has already visited my young master. "

Cheng Yaojin's voice came from the carriage: "What did he say?"

Lu Yundao: "The young master said that King Wei once visited him in person."

"Wei Wang?" Cheng Yaojin asked suspiciously, "What is he going to visit Li Hao for?"

Lu Yundao: "The king of Wei said he could save the young master, so the young master begged him."

"Okay, got it, let's go."

The carriage started slowly and left the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Lu Yunhu was beside the carriage, just like the guards of Duke Lu's mansion.

And since Lu Yun returned, a group of five people set out from Lantian, came to Chang'an City, and hid themselves in the vast crowds of Chang'an. Li Hao's special forces team was dispatched. Team leader, since this mission is a latent investigation, it is not appropriate to bring too many people. The five special forces members have all been carefully disguised and set up secret posts outside the Wei Palace.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice is still busy collecting evidence. They also thought of starting with the clue of arsenic, but in the end they found that the sales of arsenic in pharmacies in Chang'an and even the surrounding Jingzhao area were normal. Of course it's a headache. According to Li Shimin's intention, this case must be tried fairly, and it cannot be judged as an unjust, false or wrongly decided case. The most important thing is that Li Hao cannot be tortured. They can only rely on criminal investigation methods to collect evidence, but now the only clue Also broke, the case entered a dead end.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice decided to interrogate the old man Hu and his wife and other shop assistants tomorrow. If necessary, they can use a little punishment. But that night, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice found a document in his desk. When he opened it, he found several charts. It was the charts that Hu Xiaohai made. From the first chart, we can clearly see the trend chart of arsenic sales in each pharmacy.

The second chart records the detailed information of the buyers of arsenic in various pharmacies. After reading it, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "So that's the way it is. The Criminal Department has been blinded."

That night, a large number of people from the Criminal Ministry mobilized to surround the Santai Gambling House, and took all the people from the three Santai Casinos into prison. The minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, who had been suppressed for a long time, directly ordered that the people from the Santai Casino be interrogated overnight. It only took half an hour Then we got the result - Yu Santai, the owner of the casino, disappeared last night.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment immediately issued an official document for the arrest at sea, and he was wanted in Santai, and then began to write a memorial, preparing to report to Li Shimin tomorrow morning.

　The recent results are not good, but they are also very stable. The collection on the main website did not increase yesterday, which is the first time I have seen it.Persistence is the key to writing a book, and I am also mentally prepared to fight a protracted battle. Even if only one person reads it, I will finish this book with quality and quantity. I hope everyone will encourage me.
