Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 135 The Inspector’s Corruption Case (1)

"Your Highness! Besides the news of Cen Wenwen's death, what else did Your Majesty say?" Du He asked.

Du He didn't believe that Li Er's urgent secret letter was just to tell the prince about the death of a minister, this is too absurd!

There must be something else in the secret letter, but the crown prince didn't say anything!

"Xu Jingzong!" Li Chengqian shouted.

Xu Jingzong hurriedly got up and left the shift, saluted and said: "The minister is here!"

Xu Jingzong could already more or less guess that this secret letter should have something to do with him, but he didn't know what His Majesty Li Er said in the secret letter.

"Father is going to call you to Youzhou to take over Cen Wenwen's job, and appoint you as the assistant secretary of the school. Are you willing to go to Youzhou?" Li Chengqian said.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Li Chengqian and hesitated for a while. It was an opportunity for him that the emperor recruited him to Youzhou to entrust him with important tasks.

However, he, Xu Jingzong, belonged to the Crown Prince of the East Palace. If the Crown Prince disagreed, he would give up this opportunity.

After all, compared to the future, the opportunity in front of him is nothing at all, so that he can prove his loyalty to the prince.

Li Chengqian saw Xu Jingzong's thoughts at a glance, and said: "In my opinion! Xu Qing should go to Youzhou. If there is no suitable person for the logistics management, the cost of the 10,000+ army will be problematic."

"Once there are any mistakes, the failure of the Eastern Expedition is a small thing, but it is a big thing that 10,000+ people will never come back."

"What's more, if the emperor's father marches east, if there is no confidant to handle the logistics, the widow will always feel uneasy."

Xu Jingzong changed his mind, heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately guessed what Li Chengqian meant!
"My minister is willing to go to Youzhou to serve His Majesty!" Xu Jingzong saluted.

"Okay! Since that's the case, Xu Qing will go back to pack up and set off for Youzhou."

"I'm here today, everyone go back first!" Li Chengqian said to Xu Jingzong, and at the same time he said to everyone.

"No!" Everyone retreated.

……

On the official road leading to Chang'an, several men in black stared at the passerby, as if they were looking for someone.

"there!"

"Don't let him get away."

"Hurry up!" The man in black shouted when he found the target, and rushed towards the target.

"Master, let's go!" The servant hurriedly pushed a middle-aged man in gray and greeted him with his saber drawn.

The middle-aged man in gray hurriedly ran to the nearby forest, and looked back from time to time, his eyes full of horror.

"Chasing! Shangfeng has an order not to allow him to enter Chang'an alive." The man in black dealt with all the servants, and saw the man in gray sneak into the forest, and hurriedly called other brothers to chase after him.

By the time the man in black rushed into the forest, the man in gray had already used the trees in the forest as cover and was fleeing.

"Two people, go find them separately, and kill him before he enters Chang'an!" the leader of the man in black ordered.

The rest of the black-clothed men nodded, and immediately dispersed to conduct a carpet search, keeping an eye on all directions, always paying attention to the movement in the forest, and slowly moved forward.

While the man in black was searching the forest, a carriage stopped not far from the forest under the protection of a team of guards.

"Princess! Is it necessary for us to come here for a picnic?" Du He stretched out his hand to the front of the carriage door.

"Your son-in-law doesn't want to be alone with me?"

A slender hand stretched out from inside the carriage and put it on Du He's, and a beautiful woman came out from inside.

Du He helped his wife, Princess Chengyang, out of the carriage.

"Whatever the princess said, Du He wished he could stay with the princess every day, even if he didn't take a look at the princess."

"As soon as I leave the princess for half a step, I feel panic, and if I don't see the princess for a moment, I miss the princess very much." Du He laughed.

He, Du He, is not a person who doesn't understand tastes, but he just thinks that the good Chang'an city doesn't want to be treated, so he insists on going to the wild to do something.

"You are the only one who talks poorly." After hearing this, Princess Chengyang blushed.

"Who?" The guard suddenly noticed someone sneaking in the forest, shouted, and immediately protected the princess and the son-in-law together.

Du He's face was livid, and he finally had the opportunity to go out to relax, but he still encountered such a thing.

The princess was so frightened that her face turned pale. Du He stepped forward to protect Princess Chengyang behind her, and turned her head to smile at the princess.

Seeing that smile like a spring breeze, Princess Chengyang felt relieved.

Several guards immediately raised their bows and set up arrows, fearing that the people in the forest would harm the princess and the son-in-law, so they shot a few arrows into the forest.

The bowstring trembled, and sharp arrows shot into the forest whizzingly, startling the birds in the forest to fly.

"Ah!" A scream sounded, and the sneaky figure just now was shot in the arm by a sharp arrow.

The man in gray felt that he was unlucky enough. He had just thrown off the pursuers, and now he was ambushed again!

He didn't even know if he could enter Chang'an alive and sue the governor.

"You guys go and have a look." The leader of the guard waved his hands to several of his men.

The hurried guard who was pointed nodded, raised his foot and slowly approached the forest. After some searching, he found the man in gray in a patch of grass.

The guards immediately stepped forward to capture him and brought him to Du He and the princess.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around? What are your plans? Who sent you to tell me." Du He questioned the man in gray who was detained by the guards up and down.

Although the man in gray didn't know who the person standing in front of him was, he could guess that it must be a dignitary by looking at his fine attire.

"I'm from Cangzhou, and I'm the inspector in charge of patrolling Hebei Road. I reported to the governor of Cangzhou that Li Taibian, the magistrate of Changlu County, under his command, had accepted bribes."

"Who knows, this Li Taibian actually offered bribes to Cangzhou Inspector Xibian. They worked hand in hand. I planned to go to Beijing to sue the two of them."

"They dared to assassinate me in broad daylight. All my servants died to cover me from their clutches!"

"I escaped here with great difficulty. I just stopped for a while when I heard the sound of breaking through the air. I knew it was wrong. Then a few sharp arrows came, and I couldn't dodge and I was hit by an arrow." The gray-clothed man said. road.

He doesn't need to say what happened next, everyone knows it.

"You keep saying that the governor of Cangzhou took bribes, but what evidence do you have?" Du He asked.

It was impossible for him to believe it just because the person in front of him said a few words casually. You must know that slandering the governor is a serious crime.

"Yes, it's in my pocket. There are evidences and certificates of the two of them privately giving and receiving. I still have witnesses in Cangzhou."

"If I wasn't worried that the other party would intercept and kill me on the road, I would definitely bring the witness into Chang'an," said the inspector.

"I can't believe your words until I see the evidence. Search for me." After Du He said, he asked the guards to search him, and finally found a few things on him.

"My lord!" The guard put several things in front of Du He, and Du He picked up the ledger and looked through it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
