Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 194 Princess Changle is Missing

"Princess Changle is missing?"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then said in surprise.

He met Princess Changle once, she was a girl like ceramics.

Although there was no conversation, she knew that Princess Changle, as the first princess, was loved by Li Shimin.

Now it's missing?
"Yes, the meaning of the palace is: the princess has been out of the palace for some time, and has not returned until now, and there is no news during the period."

Zheng Jiu continued.

After he received the news from the palace, he rushed to inform Fang Yuan immediately.

This kind of matter should not be delayed, and if something goes wrong, the palace will investigate it.

"Did you send someone to look for it?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

Looking at the sky, it is almost You time now.

From Sishi to Youshi, that is, from about [-]:[-] am to about [-]:[-] pm, there is an interval of eight hours.

There is no news for eight hours, and it is really possible that she is missing. Considering the possibility of Bishamon's rebellion, Princess Changle is in danger.

"Everyone has been mobilized to investigate!"

Zheng Jiu replied.

For such a big matter, someone must be sent to look it up immediately.

Luo Zheng, You Chengzhou and others were dispatched to investigate the news of Princess Changle.

But because there is only such a little news from the palace, it is very difficult to investigate.

"Come on, let's go back to the county office first."

"You go and pick a few eye-catching ones first, keep an eye on Duke Song's mansion, and notify me immediately if any suspicious person comes in or out."

Fang Yuan walked out.

But just a few steps away, I thought of the note in my hand.

What Zheng Guanyin said just now is not about the disappearance of Princess Changle, is it?

"Okay, this subordinate will arrange it now."

Zheng Jiu was stunned.

But without asking why, he left immediately.

Fang Yuan looked at the note in his hand, his brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.

If Xiao Yu is really related to Bishamon, then what Zheng Guanyin said about Bishamen's change of rebellion plan may be related to Princess Changle's disappearance.

But there is no evidence for this kind of thing, Fang Yuan can't go to the palace to look for Li Shimin, so he can only stare at Xiao Yu's mansion first to see if there is anything suspicious happening.

Night falls.

It has been an hour since I learned that Princess Changle is serving you.

The whole city was being searched, but there was no news yet. Li Shimin and Empress Changsun in the palace were in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Empress, there is news about Princess Changle."

Eunuch Wang De excitedly ran in.

Xiao Yu was still following behind, because of her age she fell behind.

"where?"

"where?"

Li Shimin suddenly asked excitedly.

Empress Changsun also looked nervously at eunuch Wang De.

At this time, neither the emperor nor the empress noticed that Xiao Yu also followed in.

Both of them were too worried about Princess Changle, they didn't notice that Xiao Yu followed behind Wang De.

"Princess Your Majesty, the princess has fallen asleep at the old minister's house."

Xiao Yu said out of breath.

His brow was covered with sweat, and he was panting heavily.

When he walked in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, he was too tired to stand upright.

"Song Guogong, what's going on?"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun breathed a sigh of relief.

But he looked at Xiao Yu more curiously, wondering why Princess Changle fell asleep in his mansion?

"It's like this. At noon, Princess Changle went to the minister's mansion to look for Princess Xiangcheng."

"But Princess Xiangcheng went somewhere, so Princess Changle has been waiting in the mansion of the minister, waiting for the princess to fall asleep."

"I just learned that His Majesty is searching for Princess Changle in the whole city, but seeing that Princess Changle is still sleeping soundly, I didn't wake her up. Let me tell Your Majesty and Your Majesty first."

Xiao Yu gasped and said.

"It's fine."

"This girl almost scared me to death."

Li Shimin was completely relieved.

I thought something happened to my baby girl.

Fortunately, fortunately, he just fell asleep, which is really scary.

"Won't Changle go to Xiangcheng Princess Mansion to look for her?"

Empress Changsun also breathed a sigh of relief.

But she was curious, how did Changle go to Song Guogong's mansion to find Xiangcheng?
After the princess gets married, there will always be a princess mansion. The distance between the mansion of Princess Xiangcheng and Duke Song's mansion is still a bit far.

"Maybe I couldn't find it in the princess mansion, so I came to the old minister's mansion to look for it."

Xiao Yu said embarrassingly.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead again.

"Too."

"Second brother, let someone pick Changle up."

Empress Changsun was relieved, nodded and said.

In short, as long as it's okay, it doesn't matter why it's in Song Guogong's mansion.

"Let's pick it up ourselves."

"I want to see Chang Le sooner."

Li Shimin shook his head and said.

He wanted to see Princess Changle earlier.

"Alright, we'll pick it up in person."

Empress Changsun has no objection.

She also wanted to see Princess Changle sooner.

"Your Majesty, empress, you really love Princess Changle."

Xiao Yu stepped aside and sighed.

"let's go."

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Let people prepare a dragon chariot and go out of the palace with Empress Changsun.

Xiao Yu was also arranged in a sedan chair, and soon returned to Song Guogong's mansion.

It was late at night, there was no one on the curfew streets, and the Duke Song's mansion was completely silent.

"Song Guogong, where is Changle?"

After Li Shimin entered Song Guogong's mansion, he asked directly.

"Your Majesty, empress, this way please."

Xiao Yu walked in front, leading the way for Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.

There are also several servants holding lamps on both sides to illuminate the way for Li Shimin and others.

"It's fine for Li Junxian to follow, you guys are waiting at the door."

Li Shimin ordered.

Just brought Li Junxian into the mansion.

This is the mansion of the Duke, and there is no danger.

And it doesn't take too many people to pick up Princess Changle as a little girl.

But Li Shimin didn't know that the eyes of Xiao Yu who was walking in front became cold.

Soon, Xiao Yu brought the three of Li Shimin to a courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard is elegant and feminine.

"Your Majesty, the princess is sleeping inside."

Xiao Yu pushed the door open and made a gesture of invitation.

He didn't go in again, but let Li Shimin and Empress Changsun go in.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun walked into the dark room without any precautions.

"slow!"

Li Junxian suddenly said in a deep voice.

Standing in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, she stared at the room vigilantly.

Xiao Yu was startled, and his face changed drastically, but the light was dim, so it was hard to see the change of his face clearly.

"Confused!"

"The room is just a little darker, what danger can there be?"

Li Shimin frowned, and immediately scolded Li Junxian.

This is the mansion of Song Guogong Xiao Yu, so could there be any danger?
"Your Majesty, there is danger!"

"Song Guogong, what did you do?"

Li Junxian said solemnly.

His right hand is already on the sword at his waist, ready to draw the sword.

Li Shimin originally thought that Li Junxian was too cautious, but seeing Li Junxian like this, he gradually became vigilant.

In the palace, Li Junxian's strength is at the top, and his intuition is naturally very sensitive, far above his own, maybe it is really dangerous.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin subconsciously pulled Empress Changsun closer to him, looked at Xiao Yu calmly, and waited for Xiao Yu's explanation.

"Hahaha"

"General Li is worthy of being a master of the Forbidden Army."

Xiao Yu suddenly changed his face and laughed out loud.

With the sound of laughter, more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the secret place in the yard.

Just now, three men in black rushed out of the room where Xiao Yu said that Princess Changle slept.

"Song Guogong, what do you mean?!"

Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.

The same is true for Empress Changsun, who looked at Xiao Yu coldly.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to either."

"If you want to blame, you blame Fang Yuan!"

Xiao Yu's face became ferocious, and he said in a low voice.

"Related to Fang Yuan?"

Li Shimin frowned, puzzled.

He really didn't know what kind of grudge between Xiao Yu and Fang Yuan?
One is a prince and veteran official from the first rank, and the other is a rookie in the officialdom who is only the fifth rank.

Although the two had friction last time, it wouldn't be a life-and-death fight, or even a rebellion, right?
"If he didn't find out about my head, why would I be here?"

Xiao Yu said bitterly.

Around the yard, more men in black surrounded them.

Even if the emperor brought the people into the Duke's mansion tonight, it would be impossible to escape.

But Li Shimin didn't have much doubts. This time he went out of the palace as an ordinary one, and he didn't bring much etiquette team.

"Are you from Bishamon?!"

Li Shimin's face darkened again, and he said coldly.

For a moment, Li Shimin thought of Fang Yuan's words in the court hall.

Because it was found out that there was a water bearer in Xiao Yu's house who was Bishamon, so a conflict broke out between the two.

But Xiao Yu blocked it many times, and the two finally had troubles in the court. In the end, the water bearer was taken away by Dali Temple for inspection.

Li Shimin didn't doubt Xiao Yu at first, after all Xiao Yu is the Duke of the state and a veteran minister, there is no need to collude with those traitors.

But never thought that it was really related to them? !
"I didn't expect it?"

"I didn't expect that either!"

Xiao Yu's face was ferocious, and he said in a voice of hatred.

For a few reasons, things developed the way they are now.

But there is no possibility of turning back the arrow of the bow, and it must be done today.

Otherwise, after a long time, Dali Temple will find himself on the head.

Either the emperor dies, or he dies, someone has to die, and it is better for the emperor to die.

"Shiwen, you and I have been monarchs and ministers for many years, and there is no need to come to this point."

"Let go of your obsession, I can pretend that nothing happened, no one knows what happened tonight."

Li Shimin said sincerely.

Shiwen is Xiao Yu's character.

Salutation is respect for people.

It was the first time Li Shimin called Xiao Yu like this.

Xiao Yu was obviously taken aback, and seemed to be struggling.

But it returned to normal after a while, and his eyes became cold.

"Your Majesty, I have no turning back, so go on your way."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and stepped back.

The man in black stepped forward and surrounded the three of Li Shimin even more.

"Xiao Yu, who killed me, who is the beneficiary?"

"Don't forget, Zhen still has a prince, and Datang also has a prince!"

Li Shimin's eyes turned cold instantly, and he said in a low voice.

He really couldn't imagine what benefits Bishamon would get after his death?
It's not that the Tang Dynasty didn't have a prince, and the Tang Dynasty also had the Supreme Emperor. Even if Bishamon killed himself, they would not be able to win the throne.

But even so, why do you have to set yourself up?Why put him to death?
"These are not what His Majesty should discuss. Kill!"

Xiao Yu has already retreated to the outside.

The man in black ordered to kill the three of Li Shimin.

For a while, the three of Li Shimin fell into a life and death situation.

Chang'an County Government.

Fang Yuan sits under justice and integrity.

There are only Fang Yuan, Xue Bowu and a few yamen servants on duty in the county yamen.

The rest, including Zheng Jiu and others, all went to look for Princess Changle.

Fang Yuan has been waiting for the news, and he really waited for the news from the palace.

But after learning that the emperor was invited by Xiao Yu, Fang Yuan instantly stood up from the stool.

The eunuch who delivered the letter was an ordinary eunuch, he left after delivering the letter, ignoring Fang Yuan's shock.

"Pass down this official order, all government servants must gather in front of Du Xiangfu's gate!"

Fang Yuan ordered immediately.

Order people to do errands and bring horses.

Borrowing the moonlight, Fang Yuan and Xue Bowu galloped to Du Ruhui's mansion.

"Fang Yuan, didn't you find Princess Changle? Why are you still looking so eager?"

Du Miaoyan personally went out to meet Fang Yuan.

Seeing Fang Yuan's anxious look, he was very surprised.

She also knew the news of Princess Changle's disappearance and the news of her finding.

It was because of knowing that Fang Yuan was curious why Fang Yuan was so eager to come to his place late at night.

"It's urgent, where's your father?"

Fang Yuan said solemnly.

"this way please."

Du Miaoyan saw Fang Yuan like this.

Without asking too much, Fang Yuan was immediately welcomed inside.

In fact, Du Ruhui had already gone to bed to rest and recuperate.

Because it was Fang Yuan, so Du Miaoyan introduced it, others probably won't see Du Miaoyan at this time.

"Fang Yuan, what's the rush?"

Du Ruhui walked out of the room and asked curiously.

Mrs. Du followed, as if she wanted to support Du Ruhui.

"Du Xiang, the situation is urgent, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night."

"I suspect that Song Guogong colluded with Bishamon, assassinated the emperor, and rebelled!"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

It was only when facing Du Ruhui that Fang Yuan boldly said these things.

If it is Fang Xuanling or Wang Gui or Changsun Wuji, Fang Yuan has to consider it.

"You, what did you say?"

Du Ruhui was shocked, his body trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Mrs. Du had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and supported him, otherwise it was really possible to go to the end.

"Fang Yuan, are you kidding me?"

Du Miaoyan was also shocked and couldn't help swallowing.

The matter of rebellion is of great importance, and it is also a matter of a state.

If you guess wrong, it's not a joke, and it will definitely not end casually.

"I can't guarantee it, but I think it's very likely."

"Princess Changle disappeared at Duke Song's residence, and then her majesty went to Duke Song's residence."

"In addition, the water bearer in Song Guogong's mansion is a believer of Bishamon, and the emperor said that Bishamon may rebel recently, and the possibility is very high."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Mainly Zheng Guanyin's note.

But this matter is not suitable to say, and it is also speculation.

"Go, follow me to Song Guogong's mansion!"

Du Ruhui said decisively.

He didn't believe Fang Yuan's guess.

But it is possible to determine whether it is true or not.

It is a matter of the safety of the emperor, and carelessness cannot be tolerated.

In his capacity, even if he broke into Duke Song's mansion, he would be scolded at most.

But if it is true what Fang Yuan said, then the emperor is more than good, and the whole Tang Dynasty may fall into turmoil.

"Du Xiang is wise!"

Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Just don't explain too much.

"Dad, I'll go too."

Du Miaoyan wants to follow.

Du Ruhui didn't object, and nodded heavily.

He didn't care about changing other clothes, and walked directly towards the door.

Du Miaoyan was a few steps faster and ordered someone to bring the horses from the mansion so that he could be faster.

Not long after, a few people came out to the door.

They were all shocked when they saw the dark crowd of yamen servants at the door.

"Fang Yuan, you are well prepared."

Du Ruhui took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Such a big battle, even hundreds of yamen servants are ready.

If Xiao Yu hadn't had evil intentions towards His Majesty, Fang Yuan's actions would be even more terrifying to impeach.

But if Xiao Yu really has the heart to rebel, then Fang Yuan's preparation is undoubtedly very necessary.

So Du Ruhui didn't blame, but felt that Fang Yuan was more considerate than him.

Because he still does not believe that Xiao Yu has the possibility of rebellion.

"set off!"

Fang Yuan jumped onto the horse.

Rush towards the direction of Song Guogong's mansion.

More than 200 yamen servants followed quickly, and the orderly voice sounded at night, which attracted the attention of many people.

Not long after, Fang Yuan and others on horseback arrived at Song Guogong Xiao Yu's door first.

"Please send a message to Song Guogong immediately, Du Ruhui is here to visit."

"If there is no reply within half a quarter of an hour, people will be forced to rush in."

Fang Yuan ordered someone to knock on the door to inform.

The level of rudeness did not have the attitude towards the Duke of the country at all.

Du Ruhui watched, frowning, but in the end he didn't stop Fang Yuan's actions.

Du Miaoyan at the side sensed her own father's dissatisfaction, she gently shook Du Ruhui's hand, pleading for Fang Yuan.

Song Guogong didn't look at the gate of the mansion, but someone should be.

A moment later, less than half an hour later, the door opened.

"Du Xiang, don't you give me face too much?"

Xiao Yu appeared with a dark face.

Seeing the door and the gathering of more than 200 yamen servants, the pupils shrank.

"Song Guogong forgive me, this is me"

Du Ruhui explained embarrassingly.

Seeing Xiao Yu appearing, he was even more sure that Xiao Yu did not assassinate the emperor.

Let me ask, would the person who wanted to assassinate the emperor still dare to show his face at this time?

Have you run away already?

"I don't want to hear your explanation. See you in court tomorrow."

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and his face became even uglier.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, ordering the door to be closed.

Du Ruhui smiled sheepishly, feeling embarrassed to say anything else.

but,

"Wait!"

Fang Yuan stepped forward.

Hold the door of attention with one hand.

"Fang Yuan, don't push yourself too hard, I have endured you for a long time!"

Xiao Yu immediately turned back and glared at Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan, don't be rude."

Du Ruhui was also surprised, and immediately scolded Fang Yuan.

"Song Guogong, is Your Majesty still inside?"

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Things have developed to such an extent that more than 200 yamen servants have been transferred.

Even if Xiao Yu wants to rebel and assassinate the emperor is false, he has to see the emperor to be at ease.

"Still!"

Xiao Yu's face was ugly, staring at Fang Yuan.

"I have something urgent to see the emperor, please lead the way."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"So many people see His Majesty, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Yu glanced behind Fang Yuan, said coldly.

"If they don't enter, I will enter by myself."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

"And me, please be considerate, Duke Song."

Du Miaoyan immediately walked to Fang Yuan's side and said.

She believed in Fang Yuan, and was worried that Fang Yuan would be in danger if he went in.

"Song Guogong, let the three of us go in and salute His Majesty."

Du Ruhui sighed and said with a smile.

Fang Yuan's insistence made him speechless, but it's all like this, so let's go in and salute.

Just thinking about the morning court tomorrow, Du Ruhui had a headache, and he didn't know how much Fang Yuan would be impeached tomorrow.

Alas. I used to think that Fang Yuan was a talent, but now I also think that Fang Yuan is a talent, but he is still a restless master.

"You guys come in."

Xiao Yu looked at Fang Yuan and the others, pondered for a moment before speaking.

He said, snorted heavily, turned around and walked towards the mansion.

When turning around, Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief and wiped off the cold sweat for herself.

Fang Yuan naturally didn't know about Xiao's situation, he followed Xiao Yu closely and walked towards the backyard.

Not long after, Du Miaoyan's face changed drastically, followed by Fang Yuan's, and finally Du Ruhui's.

All three could smell the stench of blood.
