Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 206

"I have seen the prince!" The official in charge of interrogating the envoy came to report to Li Daozong the results of his labor in the past few days.

"How did the interrogation go? Did he confess?" Li Daozong asked while drinking tea.

"Please forgive me, my lord! The lower official is incompetent, so far I can't let him speak." The official hurriedly saluted and apologized.

"I didn't ask anything. What are you doing here to see the lonely king? Hurry up and continue the interrogation until the interrogation comes out."

"Tell me about you, you can't even knock a prisoner's mouth open, what else can you do?" Li Daozong said dissatisfied.

This is related to whether he wants to send troops. If this person is really not a secret agent, he was really sent by Xiazhou to ask for help.

He, Li Daozong, didn't understand in Shuozhou, and he refused to send troops to rescue. Once Wantong City lost, His Majesty Li Er would blame him, and he would not think of brotherhood with him.

But if the other party is a secret agent sent by Xue Yantuo, deliberately tricking him to leave Shuozhou, and to divert the tiger away from the mountain, he is actually planning to raid Shuozhou.

If he really left Shuozhou and caused Shuozhou to be breached by Xue Yantuo's army, and His Majesty Li Er blamed him, he would also end up in the end.

That's why he was in a dilemma. It was difficult to choose whether to send troops or not.

But the official in charge of the interrogation continued to interrogate for several days, but still did not ask anything, which made Li Daozong very angry.

"My lord, this officer has tried his best! But he has always insisted that he was sent by Governor Song Junming to ask for help." The official complained.

He has tried every means, and used all kinds of methods, whether it is coercion, or using all the instruments of torture.

But even if he doesn't admit that he is a spy, there is nothing he can do!

"So, this person should be the messenger sent by Song Dudu to ask for help?" The lieutenant general asked, and turned to Li Daozong and said, "My lord! If he is really the messenger sent by Xiazhou, the lord should send troops to rescue him immediately." Yes, in case it’s too late, Wantong City has fallen.”

"What you said is not unreasonable, then send [-] troops to assist Wantong City in Xiazhou, and you will lead it, while the lonely king will stay and sit in Shuozhou." Li Daozong said.

"Promise!" The deputy general ordered: "The last general will prepare now!"

"My lord! Although the officer didn't ask anything, he made a new discovery." said the official.

"Wait." The official's words caught Li Daozong's attention. He stopped the deputy general who was about to leave, and asked, "Didn't you find out something during the interrogation! Why did you find out again now? Tell me what you found?"

Li Daozong was a little dissatisfied with the officials in front of him. If he had spoken half a step later, the lieutenants would have already assembled their troops and set off!
Isn't this a big mistake?Fortunately!Nothing went wrong.

"This, this..." The official stammered a little, his eyes dodging even more.

"What is this? Why don't you say it quickly, why are you hesitating, don't spoil the prince's great affairs, if His Majesty blames it, can you bear it?"

Seeing the official's eyes dodging, the deputy general hesitated to speak, and the face of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia beside him, was even more livid at this time, the deputy general hurriedly scolded.

"The lower official found, found that he seems to be, is..." The official hesitated, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve from time to time.

"What did you find? Tell me!" Li Daozong yelled impatiently. He waited for a long time, but he still didn't hear anything. How could this not make him angry.

"My lord!" The official was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "The next official found out that the other party is very likely to be the prince's person."

"What?" Li Daozong was shocked by his words, and couldn't believe what he said.

I want you to interrogate the other party carefully to see if it is as I suspected, whether this so-called messenger is a spy sent by Xue Yantuo.

It's fine if you don't handle this matter for me!Now you are still pulling out some prince of the Eastern Palace, aren’t you lighting a lantern in the hut—looking for shit (looking for death)?

The lieutenant couldn't believe it, he looked like he had seen a ghost, thinking that the official was just trying to get himself off the crime, so he just found a reason to prevaricate.

The deputy general was furious: "You bastard! Do you know what you are talking about? You dare to slander the prince. Do you know what the crime is for slandering the prince? You have enough heads to chop off."

Something that doesn't know how to live or die dares to talk nonsense on the crown prince's head, it's really boring!

The official was trembling with fright, with his wealth and life, how could he dare to slander the prince, he hadn't lived enough, and he didn't want to hurt his family.

"I, I, I don't dare to slander the crown prince, my lord! What the officer said is the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood, please be careful." The official cried.

"Okay! Don't say anything until this matter is found out. If you dare to leak any information, be careful of your head." Li Daozong gritted his back teeth and threatened.

"Understood, understood, my lord, is this person still on trial?" the official was overjoyed and asked hastily.

"Get out!" Li Daozong trembled angrily, pointing at the door and yelling.

The official was so frightened that he stumbled and ran out. He didn't dare to stay here any longer.

If he annoyed Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and slashed him with a sword, it would be a terrible injustice.

"My lord! What should we do next? Should we continue to send troops to Xiazhou?" the lieutenant general asked.

"This matter is becoming more and more difficult to handle! This matter involves the prince, what do you think of this matter, is it really related to the prince?" Li Daozong asked.

"This..." asked such a question, how would a lieutenant general answer him?The deputy general said: "This matter is related to the crown prince, so it is not good for the general to make wild guesses."

"Report!" The guard's voice came from outside the door, "Report to Your Majesty, Xiazhou Governor Liu Lan sent someone to ask to see Your Majesty."

Li Daozong was stunned, and he and the deputy general looked at each other, thinking to himself, why did Liu Lan send someone here?Could it be another fake.

"Bring people in." Li Daozong said.

"No!" The guard took the order, and brought a person to Li Daozong after a while.

"The villain sees King Jiangxia!" The visitor saluted Li Daozong.

"My lord! This person will never be seen before. He is the steward of Liu Lan's family, the governor of Xiazhou." The deputy whispered in Li Daozong's ear.

Li Daozong knew what he was thinking, and said: "Get up and talk, what's the matter with your master Liu Lan asking you to see the lonely king?"

"My lord, my lord ordered me to give a copy of the family letter to my lord, and my lord will know after reading it." After Liu Lan's family steward finished speaking, he took out a letter from his body and gave it to Li Daozong.

After Li Daozong took the letter, opened it and read it, he was surprised and frowned, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"You go down first! I still need to think about this matter before I can give you an answer." Li Daozong said helplessly, now he has a headache.

"No! The villain will leave first!" The steward of Liu Lan's family bowed and retreated, and someone would naturally lead him to live in the posthouse.
