Chapter 215: Prince Qi’s Mansion Does Not Keep Idle People
Chapter 215: Prince Qi’s Mansion Does Not Keep Idle People
Sun Fujia had a blank expression on his face.
From the time Li Tian led his men away to the time he came back, only one day had passed.
But within just one day, all the people in Shangzhou ran away!
Even the seafood purchased by Wei Xingzong disappeared without a trace!
Why are they moving so fast?
Unless someone informs them!
who can that be?
Sun Fujia thought carefully and wondered who in Chang’an City would know the news of their troop deployment in advance.
The only people present at that time, besides the crown prince, were Fang Xiang and three others.
It can’t be one of the three of them, right?
Sun Fujia shook his head. Prime Minister Fang and Duke Shen were both loyal supporters of the prince.
Although Changsun Wuji did not express his support for the crown prince openly, as long as Li Chengqian was still the crown prince, he would not help Li Tai.
Doing this will bring him no benefits, only disadvantages!
So which link has gone wrong?
Duo duo.
Sun Fujia’s pupils suddenly shrank and he thought of someone!
King of Qi Li You!
Everyone present at the time chose to believe Su Chen’s self-proof, but because of Su Chen’s sarcastic words, King Qi looked very unhappy and was full of resentment towards Su Chen.
Therefore, Li You is highly suspected!
“Li Tian, go to Prince Qi’s mansion and keep an eye on it now. Record any disturbances you find.”
“Your Excellency is suspicious…”
“Just doubt.”
Sun Fujia said in a deep voice: “Without sufficient evidence, we dare not involve the King of Qi.”
Li Tian nodded, “I understand. I will go to Prince Qi’s mansion and keep an eye on it.”
Sun Fujia shouted to the people outside: “Prepare the horses, I want to enter the palace.”
……
Prince Qi’s Mansion.
Li You was lying on the chair with a smile on his face. In front of him was Taoist Qian, the person in charge of Wei Xingzong in Shangzhou.
It is unknown where Taoist Qian came from, but people who are familiar with him know that he has a big hobby: he loves money.
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help.”
“Master Qian, you are too polite.”
Li You said nonchalantly, “The reason why I saved you is because I value your ability.”
Why can’t Li You have such a terrifying explosive that can easily blow up several houses?
Now, all the people in Shangzhou have been dealt with, and no one knows that Taoist Qian is in his hands.
As long as he makes good use of it, even if everyone looks down on him, with these explosives, he may still have a chance to reach the top!
At worst, the Xuanwu Gate incident will happen again!
Taoist Priest Qian: “It is my honor to be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.”
Li You sat up straight and said calmly, “How were those explosives made?”
Taoist Qian: “It’s just luck.”
Li You: “Really?”
Taoist Qian hesitated and nodded.
Snapped!
Li You snapped his fingers, and a burly man walked over.
“Your Majesty.”
“This man’s name is Liang Mengbiao, and he is my capable general.”
Li You pointed at Liang Mengbiao and introduced him with a smile, “What he is best at is skinning prey.”
Taoist Qian raised his eyelids and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Li You continued, “If Taoist Qian can make what I need, I will definitely treat him as a guest of honor.”
“If Taoist Qian doesn’t have this ability, then I’m sorry…”
“The Prince Qi’s Mansion doesn’t support idlers!”
Taoist Qian looked at Liang Mengbiao. There was a ferocious smile on Liang Mengbiao’s face, which was chilling.
Taoist Qian said hurriedly: “Your Majesty, making explosives is indeed very difficult, and the success rate is very low. However, if Your Majesty can provide enough materials, I will definitely make this for Your Majesty.”
Li You smiled and stood up, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Within three days, this king wants to see the finished product. During this time, you can tell him what you need and he will prepare it for you.”
“As long as you do a good job, you will have money and people. I will do my best to satisfy all your requests!”
Taoist Qian breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Li You waved his hand, and Taoist Qian tactfully followed Liang Mengbiao and left.
After a while.
Yin Hongzhi walked in from outside, “Does the prince really want to keep him?”
“why not?”
Li You laughed, “Now the Crown Prince and his men have all been drawn to Li Tai. We have moved all the people and things in Shangzhou away, so no one can find them.”
“As long as nothing unexpected happens, no one will know that Taoist Qian is in our hands!”
Yin Hongzhi nodded.
All the Wei family members in Shangzhou were moved underground, and the goods were stored in their warehouses.
Now only Taoist Qian is left alive, and he is still under their control.
As long as Taoist Qian does not make any mistakes, he should understand his current situation. Only if he obeys Li You will he have a chance to survive!
Controlling Taoist Qian is equivalent to controlling an explosive with incredible power. With such a powerful weapon, they have great initiative!
“This person needs to be hidden more carefully.”
Yin Hongzhi said in a deep voice: “Such a person is rare for the King of Wei!”
“If he knew that Taoist Qian was not dead, he would definitely try every means to find him.”
Li You sneered: “Everyone in Shangzhou is dead. I don’t believe he has the ability to make those dead people speak!”
……
County Prince’s Mansion.
Li Tai’s face looked terribly gloomy!
Such a good situation turned upside down in an instant!
First, Su Chen made the explosives in public, and then the prince discussed with three assistant ministers and took direct action to arrest people.
The speed was so fast that he didn’t have any chance to react.
Mu Chi was arrested, Wei Xingzong was arrested, and there was no news from Shangzhou…
For the confident Li Tai, this was like a heavy punch to the head, and stars appeared in his eyes.
“Your Majesty…”
Du Chuke ran over in a hurry, “There’s news from Shangzhou.” “How is it?”
Li Tai stood up suddenly and asked, “Have Taoist Qian and the others been arrested?”
“No, they’re gone!”
“Gone?”
Li Tai was stunned, “Why is it gone?”
Du Chuke: “Li Tian from the Dali Temple led people to Shangzhou to arrest people. The Shangzhou governor wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they didn’t expect that when both sides arrived at the courtyard with their men, they found that the courtyard was empty.”
“Not only are Taoist Qian and his men missing, but even the many seafood products we sent over are nowhere to be found!”
Li Tai couldn’t believe it: “How is this possible?!”
“So many lives and goods, how could they just disappear like that?!”
Du Chuke said in a deep voice: “I also find it strange. With so many people and goods, even if they were given a day to evacuate, there would be some omissions. But when Li Tian and his men arrived, the whole yard was empty, as if no one had ever lived there!”
“Unless someone got the news in advance and moved them all away, I really can’t think of a second possibility.”
Transfer in advance?
Li Tai pondered and tapped his head.
The arrest was carried out by the Dali Temple after discussion between the Crown Prince, Fang Xiang and two others.
It couldn’t be that those three leaked the news, right?
“Could it be Mr. Wei?”
Du Chuke whispered: “Although he was depressed after Wei Daijia died, Wei Xingzong is still his son after all.”
“Wei Xingzong wanted to avenge Wei Daijia, so he couldn’t hide this from him.”
Li Tai frowned and asked, “Did Wei Ting do it in secret?”
Du Chuke: “This is just my guess!”
“However, regardless of the incident in Shangzhou, whether Wei Ting assisted or not, at least they don’t have sufficient evidence regarding the explosion. Wei Xingzong will definitely be able to get away safely this time!”
The materials for the explosives were all purchased by Wei Xingzong, and the manpower was also arranged by Wei Xingzong.
Now that both the people and the materials are missing, the Dali Temple has no evidence and naturally cannot target Wei Xingzong.
just.
Mu Chi and others are still in prison.
Li Tai: “Zhabu came to me before, hoping that I could help them rescue Muchi.”
Du Chuke: “Your Majesty, the most important thing in a bombing case is the explosives. Now that they don’t have the explosives, they don’t have enough evidence!”
“Secondly, Mu Chi and the others are envoys after all. Due to the face of the two countries, it is impossible to really kill them.”
Li Tai nodded slowly, “You are right, but where is Taoist Qian?!”
Du Chuke sighed regretfully, “So far, no clues have been found.”
“I heard that the Dali Temple is also searching hard. I wonder if they can find any clues.”
Li Tai sneered and said, “So, someone is secretly helping me?”
Du Chuke: “You can say that, but I feel that the other party does not seem to be interested in helping the prince, but rather values Taoist Qian’s ability!”
Hear the words.
Li Tai’s face couldn’t help but darken.
“Look for it. We must find Taoist Qian…”
“correct!”
Li Taifu was deeply moved, “Could it be Li You?”
Du Chuke: “We don’t rule out this person as a possibility.”
Li Tai: “Ask someone to keep an eye on Prince Qi’s mansion. I will go to the Wei family to feel out the situation.”
……
Prince’s residence.
Xue Li and Wang Xuance brought bad news.
“Didn’t anyone get caught in Shangzhou?”
“No.”
Wang Xuance shook his head. “The building is empty. There is nothing left in the entire yard.”
“It’s like someone knew about this in advance and arranged for someone to move it.”
Transfer…
Su Chen tapped his folding fan, a bit of coldness on his face, “Li You, this guy suddenly took action.”
“Prince of Qi, Li You?”
Wang Xuance and others looked surprised.
Su Chen nodded. “Before this, Li Tai and Lu Dongzan joined forces, and I was wondering if he would get involved.”
“But whether it’s Chonghuafang or the ice shop, there’s nothing of his doing, which made me let down my guard.”
“I didn’t expect that he would transfer those people away at this critical moment.”
Sun Qiang: “Once the people from the Dali Temple arrest someone, the King of Wei will inevitably be implicated. Why did the King of Qi take action at this time?”
Su Chen: “Of course there are benefits.”
“The Henan government took action to intensify the conflict between the Crown Prince and the King of Wei, but because we gave the Crown Prince a heads-up in advance, the King of Qi’s plan failed.”
“Now, the King of Qi seems to be helping Li Tai escape, but in fact he values the talents of Li Tai’s men!”
“If I’m not mistaken, the person who can make explosives must have fallen into Li You’s hands!”
Wang Xuance and the others understood immediately, “He was going for the explosives!”
Su Chen: “Who wouldn’t want something this dangerous?”
Everyone was silent.
This old silver coin…
I thought he would just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers, but I didn’t expect he would dare to take advantage of the situation to get some benefits!
Su Chen tapped his folding fan and said, “The King of Qi has ruined my plans twice…”
“Sir, you don’t want to…”
“Fuck him!”
