Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Chapter 65 Assist in the investigation

In the evening, Li Ke invited Deng Tongda to the mansion.The two sat in the living room, Deng Tongda seemed a little cramped.Li Ke said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, Lieutenant Deng, this king came to you this time to discuss something."

"If you have anything to do, just ask your Highness, and I will go through fire and water." Deng Tongda immediately expressed his loyalty and sincerity.He also knew that Wang Fu, the county magistrate, had joined Wei Wang Li Tai's sect, so he suppressed him so unscrupulously.Now, Hanwang Li Ke favors him so much, how could he not seize the opportunity.For a commoner family like him, who has no family background, to be able to serve as Chang'an county magistrate, apart from his own ability, it is more of a matter of seizing the opportunity.And whether he can be promoted in the future depends on whether he can grasp it again today.

"This king has nothing to make you go through fire and water. Don't worry about County Captain Deng." Li Ke comforted, "I heard that there was a murder case in Chang'an City. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"It's true." Deng Tongda returned, he was slandering Li Ke in his heart, yesterday Su Dingfang must have told you my words immediately, you still pretend not to know?However, he was very respectful, "The gangster Zhang Hui in Chang'an City died unexpectedly, and County Magistrate Wang is investigating the case thoroughly."

"It seems that you should be in charge of the law and order and the arrest of robbers? Why did the county magistrate Wang directly intervene in this matter?" Li Ke asked unhurriedly.

Deng Tongda's face twitched, "Your Highness, I really don't know about this matter."

"Really don't know?" Li Ke smiled.

Deng Tongda looked at Li Ke's smile and broke out in a cold sweat.He didn't expect Li Ke to smile so softly and kindly.But he knew that the more ordinary he behaved, the more frightening this person was. Could it be that he did something wrong to offend him?Deng Tongda thought for a long time, but there was no result.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, glanced at Li Ke, saw that Li Ke was looking at him, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, the county magistrate of Wang often goes in and out of King Wei's mansion. I don't know if this has something to do with it."

"Well, what Deng Xianwei said is very possible." Li Ke achieved his goal, which is to let Deng Tongda really regard himself as his confidant of the King of Han, and say everything, so that he can better explain his affairs , "That's why, this king came back to you today to discuss this matter."

"En." Deng Tongda didn't understand, but didn't dare to ask, "Your Highness, please speak clearly."

"The Chang'an competition has just started, and Zhang Hui's murder occurred at night. This incident is likely to be related to the competition. Therefore, Cuju Temple decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. Seeing that you have achieved a lot in public security and robbery in the past, I would like to recommend you You and Wang Fu will try this case together, and you must close the case before the finals. Do you know if you have the confidence to complete the task?"

After listening to Li Ke's words, Deng Tongda didn't understand anything.The King of Han was obviously supporting himself, and wanted to compete against Wang Fu in Chang'an County.If he wanted to be promoted, he had to pass the hurdle of the palace.In the past, Wang Fu had King Wei as his backing, so he might still be a little shy.Now, the King of Han is supporting him, so what else is he afraid of?

I saw him get up immediately, bowed to Li Ke and said, "My minister will definitely follow His Highness's wishes, handle this case well, and close it as soon as possible."

"En" Li Ke nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Then I will inform Wang Fu tomorrow to let you assist him in the trial of the case, so you don't have to go to the venue to maintain order, just hand over the task to Ding Fang .”

"Thank you for His Highness's cultivation, I will never forget it." Deng Tongda said gratefully. Indeed, during this period of time, Wang Fu suppressed him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel that he had more energy than he wanted.Now that Li Ke is helping, how can he not be excited and dare not move.

Afterwards, Li Ke ordered Yang Enyang and Deng Tongda to send him out of the palace and came to the study by himself.As soon as he entered the door, he said angrily, "Chen Qi, come in for me."

Chen Qi heard Li Ke's unkind tone, and carefully pushed the door in, "The last general is here again, please give orders from Your Highness."

"Order? What can you do? En? Look at what you have done?" Li Ke said angrily, "What happened to Zhang Hui in Yongxingfang? What happened to his accidental death in Yongxingfang thing?"

"Your Highness, this matter will never be known." Chen Qi whispered.

"Yeah, you definitely don't know, you didn't notice at all." Li Ke said more and more angrily, "My king asked you to monitor the movements of all parties. What have you done? This is the result of your monitoring? The result is Yongxingfang Someone died? This king still needs to learn about this situation through other people's mouths, so why does this king want you? Why do you want Yingwei?"

"Your Highness" Chen Qi suddenly knelt down on one knee, "It's the last general's dereliction of duty, please punish him, Your Highness."

"Chen Qi, I don't want to punish any of you, and I haven't thought about it." Seeing Chen Qi voluntarily admitting his mistakes, Li Ke calmed down a lot, "But since you are in charge of intelligence work, you must be careful about everything. Don’t be sloppy. Everything has to be considered. Now, we are not on the battlefield, but we are fighting a war without gunpowder. Therefore, there is no room for mistakes.”

"The general understands, and please punish him." Chen Qi insisted, "Rewards and punishments are clearly the rules His Highness set for Yingwei. Since Chen Qi has neglected his duty, he is willing to be punished. I just hope that His Highness will allow the general to continue to be in charge of intelligence work. Your Highness will not be disappointed."

Li Ke saw Chen Qi in front of him, who was born as a commoner and the most loyal guard around him. What we need to do now is to assist Deng Tongda in thoroughly investigating Zhang Hui's case, and more importantly, we must find out the details of Sun Ning."

"The general understands. Please rest assured, Your Highness. The general promises to investigate this matter clearly within five days." Chen Qi assured.

"I won't ask you to check it out in a few days, but I only ask you to check it out before there is any accident in the game." Li Ke said seriously, "Your Eagle Guards will allocate part of the guards to protect the king. The remaining personnel are a bit stretched, you go to Ding Fang and ask him to recruit fifty wolf guards for you to expand the strength of the eagle guards."

"No..." Chen Qi answered very briefly.

"Go down." Li Ke waved his hand.Chen Qi bowed and retreated.As soon as Chen Qi left, Yang En walked in.

"It's not Chen Qi's fault at this time, why is Your Highness so angry?" Yan En comforted.

"It's still inexperienced!" Li Ke sighed, "He put his main energy on the important ministers in the court, so there was such an omission, which shows that the intelligence system still needs to be strengthened. This matter will trouble Mr. Yang gone."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, this old slave will definitely build an intelligence system for you, and will definitely train you a few outstanding talents." Yang En said.

"By the way, Mr. Yang, how did Hou Hu and Meng Shan learn from you?" Li Ke asked.

"These two boys are not bad, they have a high level of comprehension, and they can understand everything. They are good seedlings." Yang En said with a smile.

"That's good, they finally lived up to the painstaking efforts of the king." Li Ke somewhat felt comforted in his heart.

The next day, Li Ke invited Wang Fu to the mansion and told him in detail about the impact of Zhang Hui's case on the competition.Unexpectedly, he asked Deng Tongda to help him solve the case, which caught Wang Fu by surprise.

Wang Fu finally succumbed under Li Ke's majesty, and agreed with a strong face and a smile that Deng Tongda would assist Zhang Hui's case.Only then did Li Ke show his usual approachability.It made Wang Fu feel that Li Ke seemed ordinary and had no airs of a prince.However, once the majesty on his body is released, it is not something they can bear.

After leaving Han Palace, Wang Fu did not go back to the county office, but went directly to Wei Palace.

Li Tai's palace was still in the palace, so it was almost noon when Wang Fu saw Li Tai.Wang Fu told Li Taiyi about Li Ke's intention to arrange for Deng Tongda to assist in the thorough investigation of Zhang Hui's case.Li Tai was furious immediately, and smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground, "Why does the King of Han want to intervene in everything?"

Seeing Li Tai angry, Wang Fu carefully accompanied him and said, "Maybe the King of Han has also noticed that Zhang Hui's case is related to Chang'an Sai's safety?"

"If you let him intervene, if you can really find out that it has something to do with the Chang'an race, then wouldn't there be any accidents in the race? Then what's the use of the king asking you to directly take over the Zhang Hui case?" Li Tai said in a cold tone. asked rhetorically.

"Your Highness, at the beginning we only speculated that Zhang Hui's death might have something to do with the competition. That's why I directly took over the case." Wang Fu analyzed, "It seems that the King of Han has already noticed our intentions. Will you continue to intervene in this matter?"

"You are the county magistrate, and you are in charge of hearing this case, why don't you care about it." Li Tai said, "But, if you delay as much as possible, I don't believe that such a bizarre death of Zhang Hui can't be compared with Chang'an at 01:30. relation."

"I understand," Wang Fu responded.

"Seldom come to the palace if you don't have any important matters in the future, you know?" Li Tai fixed his sharp eyes on Wang Fu, causing Wang Fu to feel a sense of fear in his heart.

After leaving the palace, Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, "The emperor's princes are really not easy-going lamps. Don't look at their usual approachable appearance, but they are more ruthless than each other."
