Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 275 Longevity
Chang Feng hurriedly put his ear close to him, and after Xingzi whispered in his ear for a while, Chang Feng got up and left the 'Zhenyu Pavilion'.

After Chang Feng left, Xingzi clapped her hands, and two men came out from behind the screen.

"The two of you quickly spread the news about the 'Amaterasu Treasure Box', saying that the 'Amaterasu Treasure Box' has fallen into the hands of the government and will be sent to Luoyang tomorrow."

The two nodded yes, and then left the 'Zhenyu Pavilion' quickly.

After the two left, Xingzi quickly wrote a note, then came to the backyard, grabbed a carrier pigeon, stuffed the note into the bamboo tube on the carrier pigeon's leg, and then released the carrier pigeon.

It's night, Luoyang Palace.

Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, and Li Tan, Yang Guozhong, and the eunuch Xuanzhi stood in the hall.

"Return to Your Majesty, Li Canghai, the magistrate of Zhengyang County, is ill in bed and has fallen into a coma, unable to receive the order." Xuanzhi eunuch knelt on the ground and said.

"What's going on? Why is he unconscious?" Li Longji frowned, seemingly displeased.

"This... I don't know about this old slave, it is said that it is because of a serious illness." Xuanzhi eunuch replied.

"Okay, let's go." Li Longji waved his hand and said displeasedly: "It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable for him to be seriously ill when I need him!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister thought that Li Canghai must have a false name. He was worried that his majesty would reveal his secrets, so he pretended to be sick in order to escape his majesty's punishment!" Yang Guozhong took the opportunity to speak.

"Master Yang, have you met Li Canghai?" Li Tan asked.

Yang Guozhong shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "The truth is that the prime minister of the country, how can he know a small Jiupin county magistrate?"

Li Tan smiled slightly and said, "Since Master Yang has never met Li Canghai, how did he know that he has a false name?"

"Li Canghai didn't get sick early or late, and it happened when His Majesty brought him to Luoyang. It's too coincidental. If he didn't pretend to be sick on purpose, why didn't he come to Luoyang to meet His Majesty?" Yang Guozhong said .

"Master Yang's words are too arbitrary. Li Canghai's serious illness was confirmed by the eunuch Xuanzhi himself, so how could it be false? Although he is seriously ill now, as long as he recovers, he can naturally come to Luoyang to face the Holy Spirit." On the other hand, Master Yang, why do you slander Li Canghai so much?" Li Tan sneered and asked seriously.

"My lord, what do you mean?" Yang Guozhong is not a fool, how could he fail to understand what Li Tan said.This clearly meant that he deliberately prevented the emperor from seeing Li Canghai.

"This king recommends Li Canghai because Li Canghai is really capable. He can help the Holy Majesty find the elixir of life. But Mr. Yang, you have tried your best to obstruct this matter from the very beginning. This king wants to ask Mr. Yang. What's the point of doing it?" Li Tan raised his eyebrows slightly and shouted coldly.

Li Longji, who had been silent all this time, turned ugly instantly after hearing this.

He stared at Yang Guozhong, without the slightest warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a corpse.

Yang Guozhong was stared at with cold sweat on his forehead. He knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister dare not! King Jianning is spitting blood! The old minister is loyal to His Majesty, please check it out!"

Li Longji turned a deaf ear to his words. What he cared most at this moment was immortality, and whoever prevented him from seeking the elixir of life would be his enemy.

"Guozhong, why don't you explain to me what King Jianning said?" Li Longji stared at him and suddenly asked disapprovingly.

Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground, his body was trembling constantly, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He rolled his eyes and cried and said: "The old minister has no second thoughts about your majesty, the old minister is just worried that Li Canghai will delay your majesty's search The elixir of life, the heart of the veteran, the world can learn from it! If Your Majesty does not believe in the veteran, the veteran is willing to die to prove his innocence!"

With that said, Yang Guozhong got up and ran towards the Panlong Column in the main hall.

bang~
With a muffled sound, Yang Guozhong suddenly shook his head bleeding.

Li Tan couldn't help a sneer from the corner of his mouth, he could tell at a glance that Yang Guozhong hadn't been hurt too much, but the blood flow was a little bit more.

However, these are enough for Li Longji.

Li Longji didn't seem to expect that Yang Guozhong would really touch the pillar with his head. He frowned and said, "Guozhong, I naturally believe in your loyalty, and I have never doubted you. Why do you do this?"

Yang Guozhong didn't care to wipe the blood from his face, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty can trust the old minister, even if the old minister dies, it is worth it. I am afraid that after death, the old minister will no longer be able to serve His Majesty!"

Yang Guozhong beat his chest and stomped his feet, as if what he said was true, if Li Tan hadn't known who he was, he might have thought that he was really a loyal minister.

"Forget it, since Li Canghai is in a coma, let's put this matter aside for now." Li Longji rubbed his brows, and sighed to himself: "Is it so easy to live forever?"

After a pause, Li Longji said: "Tomorrow, envoys from various countries will gather in Luoyang City, and I will host a banquet for them. Guozhong, how are you preparing for this matter?"

"Return to Your Majesty, this matter has been settled, Your Majesty can rest assured!" Yang Guozhong replied respectfully.

"I believe in your ability. It's getting late, you should go down to rest earlier." Li Longji said lightly.

"Yes, the old minister resigned." Yang Guozhong glanced at Li Tan, bowed his head and retreated.

After Yang Guozhong withdrew from the hall, Li Longji stroked his beard, looked at Li Tan and said, "Tan'er, among the many emperors and grandchildren, I trust you the most. I will leave it to you to find the elixir of life. Don't you worry about it?" Let me down!"

Li Tan hurriedly knelt on the ground, respectfully said: "Don't worry, grandpa, Tan'er will do everything possible to find the elixir for grandpa!"

"I believe you. Cough~." Li Longji nodded, and suddenly coughed violently.

"Grandpa Huang, do you want grandson to go to the imperial physician right away?" Seeing this, Li Tan hurriedly asked.

Li Longji waved his hand and said: "No need, I will go to see my concubine soon, just take a rest, you go down first."

Li Tan frowned slightly, but the emperor's order was hard to violate, so he had no choice but to back out.

Outside the palace gate, Huangfu Kun in armor was patrolling back and forth.

Seeing Li Tan coming, he hurried over.

"My lord, your brows are tightly furrowed, seems to be something on your mind?" Huangfu Kun asked.

Li Tan looked around and said solemnly, "Something has happened. According to the eunuch Xuanzhi, Li Canghai is seriously ill and is now in a coma. His life and death are unknown."

"What?" Huangfu Kun was startled.

"How is this possible? Cang Hai has always been in good health, and he suffered such serious injuries in the Underworld, but he was not able to kill him. How could he suddenly fall ill and fall into a coma?" Huangfu Kun stared in surprise and said.
