Chapter 95: The Thief Appears in the Town Palace
Zhang Tan's eyes became more and more crazy.
Anyway, they are going to die anyway, it is worse than breaking the jar. Maybe, there is still a chance to survive like this?
After Zhang Tan left, Zhang Liang sighed heavily, and then sat limply on the ground.
He knew that his life had come to an end and was finished.
Did you regret stealing the 100,000 gold at first? Now the trouble is getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Tan actually wants to murder the eighth prince?
But after thinking about it, Zhang Liang's eyes gradually showed a trace of cruelty.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
Anyway, he's going to die, so it's better to have someone to support him before he dies.
Perhaps, as Zhang Tan said, as long as the eighth prince is killed, this secret can be hidden in history forever?
Because they didn't leave any evidence of guilt for Li Shimin and others to investigate.
So they can doubt, but they can't jump to conclusions and confirm that they are sinners!
…
After Li Shimin arrived at the Prince's Mansion, he also had a hesitant look on his face.
He put his hands behind his back and walked around the yard.
Li Chengfeng said from the side: "Father, don't worry, the ones who are anxious now should be thieves!"
Seeing Li Chengfeng's leisurely look, Li Shimin said: "You are not the emperor, so of course you are not in a hurry! You don't understand how I feel now! If the thief is not eliminated, I will not be able to live in peace for a day!"
"Moreover, I have done what you said, but the thief still won't come forward and confess his crime! Alas... what should I do?"
Li Shimin hesitated, then turned and said: "Feng'er, fortunately you stopped me in time yesterday from killing Duke Qiao. Otherwise, if I had killed the wrong person, all the ministers in the palace would definitely be resentful of me!
But you still let the thief get away with it?"
"Hmph, I didn't expect that such a powerful thief would appear in our Tang Dynasty. If we catch him, I will definitely execute him, Lingchi!"
Li Shimin has no clue now and can only hope that Li Chengfeng can find the culprit as soon as possible to solve his major problem!
Li Chengfeng saw Li Shimin walking around beside him, and he felt annoyed.
So Li Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Father, how about I pay you attention?"
"Oh? Okay, Feng'er, tell me quickly! If you can really help me catch the thief, I will reward you with an additional five thousand gold!"
"Okay! This is what you said. Once the emperor has said something, it is hard to follow him!"
Li Chengfeng laughed happily.
Wouldn't it be better if you said this earlier? If you gave yourself 5,000 gold earlier, Li Chengfeng could catch the thief directly now!
Li Shimin continued to ask: "Feng'er, what kind of attention did you give me?"
Li Chengfeng raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Father, tonight, you only need to send a team of guards to ambush in my town palace, and you can catch the thief!"
"What? Why do you want to ambush soldiers and horses in the Prince's Mansion?" Li Shimin frowned, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
Li Chengfeng smiled and said: "It's very simple! Because the thief will definitely come for me tonight! Since the thief doesn't want to admit his guilt, he will definitely kill people and silence him! And now, he is betting again, and I am the only one who knows the truth!
So he thought that if he killed me, no one in the world would know that he was a thief! However, he really made the right bet, yes, because in this world, I am the only one who knows who the thief is! And I
There is no evidence of guilt yet!”
"The thief is very smart. He knows that I can't produce evidence, so he doesn't dare to slander him. If he doesn't want to plead guilty, then he will definitely kill me and silence me! If not tonight, it will be tomorrow night. Anyway, my father will send troops.
Ma, just wait in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion!"
"I promise, within three days, the thief will definitely surrender and throw himself into a trap!"
"Um?"
Li Shimin frowned.
If it is true as Li Chengfeng said, then that thief must be extremely bold.
If you even dared to assassinate the Eighth Prince of the Tang Dynasty, isn't that the same as rebellion?
But to put it bluntly, they even dared to steal 100,000 gold for disaster relief, what else could they not dare to do?
After thinking about it, Li Shimin turned to look at a guard with a knife beside him and said: "Li Junxian, I order you to follow the eighth prince at all times now to protect his safety. If the eighth prince's life is at risk,
You, raise your question and come to see me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Junxian nodded respectfully, cupped his fists and bowed.
In Li Shimin's eyes, although Li Chengfeng was a little naughty, he was indeed a rare genius prodigy.
Moreover, Li Shimin felt that he was losing money to Li Chengfeng, so Li Shimin did not hesitate to send his personal bodyguard general to protect Li Chengfeng.
If tonight, as Li Chengfeng said, a thief comes to assassinate Li Chengfeng, then the crime committed by that thief is enough for Li Shimin to kill his entire family!
"snort……"
Li Shimin waved his sleeves and left the Prince Zhen's Mansion.
…
Recently, Li Shimin has been dizzy and unable to sleep due to the severe drought and famine among the people.
Another gold theft case recently?
It can be said that it kept Li Shimin awake all night.
If the culprit behind this theft case is not caught, I am afraid that Li Shimin will have no intention of going to court or dealing with major national affairs.
According to Li Chengfeng, that night, Li Shimin sent a team of soldiers and horses to ambush in the backyard of the Zhenwang Mansion.
Li Junxian, on the other hand, followed Li Chengfeng every step of the way.
Even if Li Chengfeng was lying in the bedroom sleeping, Li Junxian was holding a long sword and resting against the wall.
Li Chengfeng rolled his eyes at Li Junxian helplessly and said, "General Li Junxian, I think you should go out. If you don't go out, I won't be able to sleep!"
Yes, letting a grown man watch him sleep? Li Chengfeng felt so awkward no matter what.
However, Li Junxian shook his head seriously and said: "I dare not disobey the emperor's orders! I hope the eighth prince will forgive me!"
"I really don't need your protection. You know my skills! I'm stronger than you. If I can't defeat such a thief, then you can't defeat him even more!"
"Yes, the Eighth Prince! But I am still willing to stand in front of the Eighth Prince and go through fire and water for the Eighth Prince, no matter what!"
Li Chengfeng really couldn't persuade Li Junxian, so he simply shook his head helplessly.
He yawned loudly, feeling sleepy.
Turning sideways, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The night was as dark as ink, with only a misty moon hanging in the sky, emitting a dim light.
A dark cloud is slowly flying towards the moon.
When that dark cloud completely covers up the moonlight emitted by the moon.
"Tap!"
Chapter completed!
