Chapter 384 Knife

"Your Highness, look at this thing." Song Gu handed the envelope to Li Ze, with a touch of excitement on his face.

Li Ze took it in doubt, and asked while opening the letter, "What is this?"

When he saw the content of the letter, his pupils shrank, he was shocked and couldn't believe it, "This is written by the third brother?"

Song Gu couldn't think of it either, and was very emotional, "Yeah, I really didn't expect that the third prince would secretly have a deal with Xiliang, this is collaborating with the enemy!"

Li Ze was still very cautious, raised the letter paper in his hand, "Grandfather, how did you get this thing?"

Song Gu straightened his expression, "It's the old man who was on his way home from court. There was a dispute among the common people, and the sedan chair was blocked there. The old man opened the curtain and looked outside. Just in this gap, I don't know who put a burden on it. Throw it into the sedan chair, and when I opened the package, I found this letter inside."

Li Ze frowned, "It seems that the dispute was also made to block grandfather's sedan chair. Who the hell is able to get third brother's life-threatening handle?"

Song Gu said, "Your Highness, are you sure that the handwriting on this letter is really that of the Third Prince?"

Li Ze looked down at the handwriting on the letter carefully, and said after a while, "It is indeed the handwriting of the third brother. Grandfather will later, I have poems written by the third brother in my study, I will show you the poems written by the third brother, and you can compare them." Is it Sange's handwriting?"

Li Ze hurried to find out Li Chong's pen and ink, and handed both the letter paper and the pen and ink to Song Gu. Song Gu looked at the comparison very seriously, and after reading it, he let out a long breath, "It is indeed the handwriting of the third prince."

The expression on Li Ze's face was also relaxed, he was afraid that he might misread it, if it wasn't the third brother's handwriting, then he would be slandering.

Song Gu held the letter paper like a baby, and looked at the content of the letter seriously again. Even though he had read it several times, he was still amazed, "The third prince is so generous. In order to let Xiliang send troops to help him seize the world, he actually ceded Ten cities were given to Xiliang, and they also promised to send 20 shi of grain, 20 shi of refined salt, and [-] catties of tea every year for another [-] years. It’s like Daqi paying tribute to Xiliang. Calling the third prince unworthy of his descendants."

Li Ze's face was very cold, "Third brother is crazy."

It's hard for Li Ze to imagine that if the third brother cooperates with Li Yingwai in Xiliang and really makes Xiliang send troops south, Daqi might be in dire straits.

Li Ze stood up abruptly, "No, I'm going to tell my father about this."

Song Gu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Your Highness! In addition to this letter, there must be witnesses to convict the Third Prince!"

Li Ze stopped, "Grandfather still has a witness?"

Song Gu escaped with another piece of paper, "Look, Your Highness. On it are the addresses and names of three people, who are said to be the confidantes of the third prince who are in charge of transporting grain and tea to Xiliang."

Li Ze took it and glanced at it, "Is it in that bag again?"

Song Gu nodded slightly, "Yes, indeed. It came with the envelope."

Li Ze frowned, "Who is the one who gave these things, and why did he do this?"

Song Gu twisted his beard, "This person is nothing more than using us as knives to stab the third prince. But we really can't refuse this temptation, Your Highness, the third prince's fatal handle is in your hands, don't you want to Can you help him hide it?"

Seeing Li Ze shaking his head, Song Gu spread his hands, "That's it. Your Highness was in a mess before, and the third prince must have messed up here. Among the sons of the Holy Majesty, the first prince became a commoner, and the second prince died. Now, His Highness was forced to be helpless again. Looking at it this way, only the third prince became the biggest winner.

If the third prince does not make mistakes, what does this prince have to do with His Royal Highness?It's different now, when the third prince's collusion with the enemy and traitorous country is revealed, he will be ruined, no one will let a collaborating and traitorous prince be the emperor, and at the end of the day, His Highness will still sit on the chair.No matter who is throwing this burden, there is a good opportunity to destroy the Third Prince, and we cannot miss it. "

Li Ze took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "Grandfather is right, the third brother was ruthless when he attacked me before, the brotherhood between us has long been gone, this time it must be his life and death! I will send someone to Capture these three."

Song Gu said to stop, "Your Highness is wrong. Your Highness should arrest the family members of these three people and use their families to threaten them to confess the third prince. As long as they are willing to testify against the third prince, we will release their family members." , and will give them a sum of money to let them leave the capital and settle down."

Li Ze paused, and said, "Grandfather is more thoughtful." He frowned again, "But if those three people are hard-headed, they won't testify against the third brother even if they are threatened by their family members?"

Song Gu pondered for a moment, and said: "Why don't you go and ask Taishan about how to pry people's mouths open."

Li Ze thought so too, "I'm going to find Mount Tai right now."

Song Gu said again, "Your Highness, you must be quick when you do it, and it is best to get them to agree to testify against the third prince within one day, and you will expose this matter in the court the next day. I am afraid that the three people will After being caught, the third prince will be on guard, and he will have many dreams every day."

Li Ze nodded, "Grandpa, don't worry, I know the pros and cons of each."

The two chatted for a few more words, Song Gu left, Li Ze also sent people to search for the three people, and invited his father-in-law Pingjin Hou to help pry the three people's mouths open.

……

After staying in the British government, he reported to Ji Fushou what happened to the fourth prince, "My lord, the third prince's confidants have been arrested by the fourth prince, and even their family members have not been spared."

Ji Fushou was very satisfied with Li Ze's promptness, and ordered, "You should pay close attention to all the movements of the third prince and the fourth prince, and report back immediately if there is any situation."

After Su left, Ji Fushou turned his head to look at Chi Qiguang who was sitting on the other side, "The fourth prince will not give up this opportunity, and the third prince may not be proud for long."

Chi Qiguang raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, "What do you think we should do next?"

Ji Fushou curled his lips together, revealing a chilly smile, "Naturally, Jiang Jing encouraged the third prince to enter the palace, and we... are on the side of the Qing emperor! Such chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them."

Chi Qiguang also smiled, but the smile was very cold, "When we went to the palace to rescue him, we saw the tragedy of father and son killing each other."

Ji Fushou grabbed his hand, and said softly, "We will avenge the Qi clan's annihilation soon."

Chi Qiguang held her back tightly, absorbing the warmth of her palm, "Of course, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
