Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 83 It turned out to be because of an accident!

Datang, Chang'an City.

In the imperial city, the morning dynasty had just begun.

Civil and military officials came out of the Tai Chi Hall in twos and threes and walked outside the city, talking and exchanging something with each other with frowns on their faces.

"What happened? It feels like His Majesty is even more angry..."

"It's not because of the fireworks incident outside the city. I heard that there seems to be a clue, but I don't know who did it..."

"Shhh... haven't you heard? I heard that something happened to someone from the Criminal Department. I don't know why. It is said that Lord Changsun Wuji and His Majesty personally brought them back..."

Recalling the gloomy look on His Majesty's face during the morning court, the voices of several officials became much softer and a little scared.

It's really an eventful time right now.

The truth about the fireworks incident has not yet been found out. I heard that the Minister of Punishment and several government officials in Chang'an County were seriously injured, which made people panic for a while.

At this moment, in the imperial study room of the Imperial City.

Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji with a gloomy face and said, "How is that man's injury?"

He was asking about Zhou Cheng, the Minister of Justice. Changsun Wuji knew it in his heart and said quickly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, he has been sent to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment. There is no fear of life. Someone from the Imperial Medical Office just replied and said that it will take some time." You need to rest for a while.”

Nodding slightly, Li Er turned to look at the other person next to Changsun Wuji, who was also his own clan uncle, Li Daozong, who was also from the Li clan in Longxi.

The current Minister of Justice, Zhou Cheng, is his subordinate.

Li Er looked at Li Daozong and said in a calm and indifferent tone: "I heard that Xiaoqin Village was found to be related to this fireworks incident. What is the specific situation?"

The disappearance of Gu Li and the others was definitely caused by Xiao Langzhong. Chang Sun Wugou had told him this before.

But then the Tubo envoy Tatu and five or six followers also went to Xiaoqin Village. Li Er really didn't know this.

In this case, wouldn't it be that these unlucky guys also followed in Gu Li's footsteps and were quietly solved by the young man?

Thinking of this, Li Er couldn't help but frown deeper, feeling even more angry and helpless.

He now feels sorry for his eldest grandson Wugu, and Si Zi who was taken away by Li Fei!
You bastard, just run away and take my son away again!

Li Daozong looked sullen. When he heard His Majesty's question, he quickly and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, news came from Dali Temple yesterday, saying that some information was asked from Nalu Dongzan's mouth, and the file was sent to the Ministry of Punishment."

"On their way from Tubo to Chang'an, Lu Dongzan and his party had a conflict with the family of a young doctor in Xiaoqin Village. Then the Tubo envoy Gu Li took two servants to stay to solve the problem, and the rest continued to set off."

"About three days later, Lu Dongzan saw that Gu Li had not returned, so he asked Tatu to take five servants to Xiaoqin Village to look for him. As a result, Tatu and the five Tibetan servants never came back."

"However, according to the news, that night in the back hill of Xiaoqin Village, not far from the young doctor's residence, a loud noise like that outside Chang'an City was heard..."

After asking the Minister of Punishment to take people to Xiaoqin Village yesterday, Li Daozong came to Dali Temple alone and interrogated Lu Dongzan again.

After learning the details of the incident, Li Daozong was almost 90.00% sure that the matter was closely related to the young man.

Then this morning, he accidentally heard Changsun Wuji talking about the loud noises that had occurred in the mountains behind Xiaoqin Village in the past few days, and he became even more convinced.

However, His Majesty's attitude is a bit strange.Under normal circumstances, His Majesty would have been angry and would definitely execute this young man without saying a word.

But what's going on now?

"In your opinion, is this young man the real culprit of the attack on the Tibetan envoys, including the mastermind of the fireworks incident outside Chang'an City?"

Li Er picked up the memorial in front of him and flipped through a few pages. He threw it down again in an irritable mood and said casually.

Li Daozong clasped his fists and nodded: "This is absolutely true. Zhou Cheng has woken up just now, and Duke Zhao has already gone to ask about the situation. It's better to tell His Majesty."

There had been such a big mess, so Changsun Wuji naturally did not dare to neglect. As soon as Zhou Cheng woke up, he went to find out what happened last night.

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji with an incomprehensible expression, nodded and said, "Tell me, I also want to know what happened."

Changsun Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he did not dare to neglect and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, yesterday Zhou Cheng, the Minister of Punishment, was ordered to go to Xiaoqin Village. The Chang'an County Magistrate and more than thirty government officials accompanied him."

"After I went to the village, I first inquired about the situation, and then found the young doctor's residence. I happened to catch up with the young doctor to get some wine... Well, he was coming from the back mountain, so I stopped him at the door to ask questions."

"Later, it was said that because of the poor attitude of the young man, the Chang'an County Magistrate ordered a search of the house and found some strange things, including a bag of gray things. When the Chang'an County Magistrate took a torch and looked closer, he... It exploded..."

Because he knew the relationship between His Majesty and the young man, Changsun Wuji made no secret of what he said. He thought about the words while stating it, and almost missed the matter of getting the wine.

But to Li Daozong's ears, these words had a strange meaning, as if it was because of the recklessness of the Chang'an County Magistrate that the subsequent tragedy occurred.

"Oh, I see. So, the death of the Chang'an County Magistrate and a group of government officials was also caused by an accident during the investigation?"

Li Er took a leisurely sip of tea, his expression still calm without a trace of ripples.

Changsun Wuji was speechless.

This tone of voice doesn't sound like he's asking for punishment. He's clearly trying to excuse himself!

But after thinking about it for a moment, it is indeed the case.

Although Zhou Cheng was seriously injured, he was frightened and told the scene without any concealment.

Including the search of the house by the Chang'an County Magistrate, as well as Li Fei's reminder and resistance, everything was mentioned.

Such an ending seems to be the fault of oneself.

However, Li Daozong next to him sensed that something was wrong.

What's happening here?
Ten people from the Criminal Department were gone. Except for Zhou Chengquan, all of them were dead. The Chang'an County Magistrate and thirty government officials were also dead. Shouldn't it be that Lei Lei went into a rage and caught the real culprit?

"Your Majesty, this young man has a cruel heart. He has hidden such horrific items in his home and has killed so many people in the Chang'an County Magistrate and the county government. Please order this person to be wanted!"

"If this person is not eliminated, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will be in trouble for a day, and we don't know what trouble will happen!"

Realizing that His Majesty was not taking things seriously, Li Daozong felt anxious and spoke quickly.

The lives of a dozen people in the Criminal Department were lost inexplicably. How could you bear this tone?
