Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 63: The inside story of the ambush, is the mastermind in Chang'an?

And the most important thing is another thing. The inside story of Li Yuanji being ambushed and killed in Lingnan was the key to his decision.

Li Yuanji listened to these words with both expected and unexpected feelings. He knew that Feng Ang would definitely make a choice, and would most likely choose him, simply because Feng Ang's roots were in Lingnan, which was his fiefdom, and the current emperor was Li Yuan.

As long as he wrote a letter to the emperor saying that Feng Ang had rebellious intentions, no matter whether Feng Ang defected to Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, Li Yuan would ultimately trust him. He had made such a great sacrifice and came to Lingnan, so it was impossible for Li Yuan not to take him into consideration.

Feng Ang will surely die by then, and he will die as a traitor. This is also his last trump card. Once this trick is used, it can be said that he and the Lingnan states will be somewhat alienated, because who dares to say that what happened to Feng Ang will not happen to them?

What was unexpected was that Feng Ang saw his situation very clearly. Although Feng Ang was the King of Lingnan, that was a joke only when the imperial court did not intervene, because this place was not taken seriously by the imperial court at all.

But now that he is here, the situation is different, because Li Yuanji has a special identity.

Li Yuanji was really surprised that Feng Ang had such an understanding. Why was joining him the best choice? Because even if he failed in the end, Feng Ang still had a way to make new choices.

Now that Feng Ang thought this way, Li Yuanji was relieved. At least as long as he was in Lingnan, Feng Ang would be a loyal subject to him.

Li Yuanji helped Feng Ang up.

"I already know Mingda's intentions. Hurry up. With Mingda following me, I believe Lingnan will definitely develop better in the future."

Feng Ang stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, with Your Majesty here, Lingnan will surely develop better."

"Haha, Mingda, this is not good. In the future, you must tell the truth to me and don't do these empty words. It's meaningless."

Li Yuanji was also amused by Feng Ang's words. How come he didn't realize that Feng Ang was so good at talking?

Feng Ang then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, what I said is all from the bottom of my heart. Here, I really see the hope of Lingnan, and this hope is exactly what Your Majesty brought."

Li Yuanji felt very happy when he heard this. Flattery never wears out, especially when it comes from capable people.

Then he sat down and Feng Ang continued speaking.

"Your Majesty, I came here for another matter. I have already caught Feng Xuan and his son. I have also found out who was the one who killed Your Majesty.

The initial attack was carried out by Ning Changzhen who bribed several cave chieftains in Guizhou, and the person who later used the pre-Sui Dynasty standard weapons to kill the king was Feng Xuan. This is the letter I found in Feng Xuan's mansion. Feng Xuan was also instructed by someone.

This information was confessed by Feng Xuan's son Feng Sanguan. Feng Xuan admitted it after he learned about it. Now Feng Xuan and his son are on the boat. The king can summon them at any time."

Feng Ang looked solemn. He had not expected that this matter would involve so many things, especially Chang'an. This was why he did not dare to underestimate Li Yuanji. The water in Chang'an was too muddy, and it would be easy to lose something if he was not careful.

The bigger and more intense the fight becomes. Now that Li Yuanji is here, he will not be spared if he does not make a decision as soon as possible.

Li Yuanji was extremely solemn. He really didn't expect that someone from Chang'an would be involved in this matter. The first person Li Yuanji thought of was Li Shimin, and then Li Jiancheng.

But whether it is Li Shimin or Li Jiancheng, it doesn't make sense. He has already fled to Lingnan. Li Shimin can't do that. If he returns to Chang'an in anger, Li Shimin's situation will become more difficult.

Moreover, after Li Yuan knew about this, the first person he would suspect would be Li Shimin. Even if he could not bring down Li Shimin, at least he could kill several people from the Qin Palace, because someone had to take the blame for this matter.

As for Li Jiancheng, it was even more impossible since he had not openly broken up with Li Jiancheng. However, this happened in such a mysterious way.

Li Yuanji took the letter and read it. It only stated the time he left Chang'an, who was in the team, how they were arranged, and the time they entered Lingnan.

It can be said that it is very detailed, and it is clear that someone was monitoring him all the way until he entered Lingnan, and then the monitoring disappeared, because there was no more after that. The handwriting on this letter was not from Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, but only these two people had the motive and possibility to grasp his whereabouts and team in this way.

This is the point that Li Yuanji couldn’t understand. Is this necessary for these two people?

Li Yuanji then looked at Feng Ang.

"Have you checked everyone in Feng Xuan's house?"

"We have investigated and found that the housekeeper of Feng Xuan's house committed suicide. I think the letter must have been obtained through this person. However, when we follow this line of inquiry, all the people involved are dead, so we can't investigate further.

Feng Xuan did not reveal anything about this matter, and Feng Sanguan did not know the details. What is certain is that Feng Xuan had received the news before he rebelled."

Li Yuanji laughed after hearing this. The person behind this really wanted to kill him as soon as possible. He was also so meticulous in his work. He was a very careful person.

Li Yuanji immediately called Xie Shufang and told him about this.

"Go to the boat and interrogate Feng Xuan thoroughly. Tell him that as long as he reveals the mastermind behind the scenes, I will not kill him. This is my promise to him!
If he doesn't know what's good for him, then all of his lineage will be killed."

After hearing this, Xie Shufang was filled with anger and immediately retreated.

After Xie Shufang left, Li Yuanji looked at Feng Ang.

“This matter must not be spread, and you should not think too much about it. No matter who did it, it will naturally come out later. As long as he is determined to do it, there will be no loopholes.

Besides, Mingda came at the right time, and I just happened to have something good for him."

Under Feng Ang's curious gaze, Li Yuanji had the salt brought up. Feng Ang was also stunned when he saw the salt.

"My lord, what is this?"

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "This is salt. Compared with the salt now, you should be able to tell it directly. Whether in appearance or taste, the previous salt cannot compare with it. I have asked Zhijun to load it on the boat and send it to you.

You will see it when you go back. The salt production is not high now because the salt ponds are limited. You can decide how to use the salt sent to you."

Feng Ang listened to Li Yuanji's words, tasted a little first, and his eyes lit up. At that moment he knew that this salt would definitely be a hot commodity.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji smiled and said, "Okay, there is no need for so many etiquettes here. I will send people to your place to develop the salt field, and you can also produce salt directly there in the future."

Li Yuanji did not hide the method of making salt. This was because these places were close to the sea and had the conditions. Otherwise, he would have no other way.

Feng Ang was deeply moved when he heard this. He was well aware of the preciousness of the salt. In his opinion, Li Yuanji's doing this showed that Li Yuanji valued and trusted him.

"Your Majesty, I have no way to repay your kindness. Please rest assured that after the salt is produced, I will explain to you in detail how much salt is produced. You will be the one to decide on all matters."

Li Yuanji helped Feng Ang up helplessly. This man was too polite and did not seem like a person from Lingnan.

"Mingda, there's no need to be like this. I still believe in you. I heard you say that you are also developing various states. This salt can just help you develop there. This way I feel relieved."
