Volume 1 Chapter 84 Princess Gesang 10
In the early morning, Li Hong finished exercising and took medicinal bath treatment. After that, he returned to Cheng'en Hall and was eating in the company of Zhao Hongqun and Princess Gesang when he saw Yan Zhuang walking in in a hurry.
Seeing Yan Zhuang's anxious expression, Li Hong said to Zhao Hongqun and Princess Gesang, "Eat slowly and go out for a walk alone."
"No!" Princess Gesang and Zhao Hongqun hurriedly stood up to accept the order and watched Li Hong leave Cheng'en Hall.
Watching Li Hong leave, Princess Gesang was confused. She said that Li Hong valued etiquette and respect, and that was indeed the case. Zhao Hongqun had to serve him how she should serve him. There was no ambiguity at all. But for eating.
At that time, Li Hong ordered Zhao Hongqun to eat with him again. There was no respect at all between the two of them. The same was true for her. Li Hong made her use foul language, do hard work, and learn what the maids learned and treat her well.
She was treating her like a maid, but during the meal, Li Hong asked her to sit at the table and eat with him.
Therefore, at this moment, Princess Gesang became even more curious about the young prince of the Tang Dynasty - what kind of person was he?
Li Hong and Yan Zhuang left Cheng'en Hall. Li Hong didn't ask any questions along the way. Yan Zhuang was very anxious and didn't dare to say anything. When they arrived at the study, Li Hong sat down slowly, took a sip of tea, and then asked slowly, "
Tell me, what happened?"
"Your Highness, Sang Ying has killed someone." Yan Zhuang's words are not shocking and he will die without mercy!
"He can act so quickly?" Li Hong asked in surprise.
Last night, Sang Ying was stabbed by Chen Gong at the banquet. When he was lying on the ground, he looked like a pig! Why did he kill someone so quickly today? This is unscientific——!
"This -" Yan Zhuang was stunned by the question, how could Sang Ying run around and kill people so quickly today, and how could he know?
"Who died?" Li Hong asked calmly.
In fact, Li Hong had expected that Sang Ying would kill people. Otherwise, he would not have let Chen Gong show mercy. He asked Chen Gong to let Sang Ying go during the martial arts contest just to make Sang Ying cause trouble.
The opportunity to attack An Lai's arrogance during negotiations.
"The Arms Supervisor is a small official in charge of weapons." Yan Zhuang replied. Seeing that the prince was silent, he continued, "Last night, when Sang Ying was competing with Chen Gong, he tried His Highness's Xiuchundao.
He was very greedy after that, so when he heard that the weapons supervisor had such a knife this morning, he went to the weapons supervisor to ask for it. Unexpectedly, the clerk in the weapons supervisor not only refused to give him the knife, but also ridiculed him because he was a Tibetan.
, he killed the clerk in a fit of rage."
"Where are they now?" Li Hong asked. His face was a bit gloomy. Was Sang Ying too courageous? He dared to act wildly in the Tang Dynasty Ordnance Supervision.
"He has been captured and imprisoned in Chang'an County Government Office." Yan Zhuang replied.
"Let's go take a look." Li Hong thought for a while, then got up and walked out of the study. He believed that at this time, the Tibetan ambassador An Lai was already at the Chang'an County Government Office, and he went to the Chang'an County Government Office just to see what An Lai had to say.
The two arrived at the Chang'an County Government Office. In addition to the newly appointed County Magistrate Luo Binwang, County Magistrate Wei Yuanzhong, and Chief Bo Fan Lubing, the County Government Office also had Zhao Renji, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, Li Anqi, the Minister of Rites, the Prime Minister Le Yanwei, and the Tubo Ambassador An Lai.
There is also Sang Ying who is tied up with five flowers.
When everyone saw Li Hong, they stood up and saluted.
Li Hong saluted everyone one by one, but when he saw Li Anqi in front of him, he was slightly startled. Such a big thing happened today. Liu Xiangdao, the Minister of Rites, did not come, but sent Li Anqi, the minister, which puzzled Li Hong.
.
Li Anqi seemed to have guessed what the prince was thinking, so he took the initiative and said, "Your Highness, I specifically requested Liu Shangshu's order to come to the county government office to have a look."
When Li Anqi answered like this, Li Hong felt relieved and ignored him. Instead, he turned his attention to An Lai and asked, "Ambassador An, what do you think of this matter? You are the Tibetan ambassador, but you also know about our Tang Dynasty."
According to the law, murder must be punished with life, and the prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people.”
"Your Highness, Sang Ying is not a reckless person. There must be something fishy about this matter. Please investigate in detail!" An Lai also said in a low voice.
Sang Ying was the deputy envoy of Tubo, assisting him on his mission to the Tang Dynasty. If Sang Ying broke the law and was killed, it would severely damage the morale of their envoy. They came to the Tang Dynasty to use their power to suppress others and seek benefits.
, if morale has been hit, how can we negotiate with Datang confidently?
Therefore, even if An Lai hates Li Hong at this moment, he cannot stop pretending to be a grandson.
"That's right! Gu Ye thinks it's strange. Deputy Sang was so seriously injured last night. He went to the Ordnance Supervision Bureau early this morning to find trouble and hurt others. This is very unscientific!" Li Hong asked seriously!
road.
In fact, everyone can hear the ridicule in his words.
"Your Highness, please investigate strictly. Sang Ying was wronged!" An Lai pleaded again.
Sang Ying is reckless, but he also knows how to be measured. He will not rush to the weapons department to ask for a Xiuchun knife. He must have been deceived by someone, so he went to the weapons department to ask for a knife. Besides, what kind of place is the weapons department?
It was an important place in the Tang Dynasty and was heavily defended. How could Sang Ying be stupid enough to kill people there? There must be something wrong here - because An Lai guessed so in his mind, he didn't mind asking Li Hong to investigate in a low voice.
"Ambassador An, don't worry, if Sang Ying is really framed, I will definitely clear his name." Li Hong said with a smile.
But there were doubts in his heart. How could someone who could be sent to Datang as a deputy envoy be so stupid? There must be something wrong here, and someone might have framed him.
Therefore, Li Hong also wanted to get to the bottom of things.
However, since this matter was planned by someone, Li Hong was worried about handing it over to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple. Because he did not have people in these two yamen. Although Di Renjie was the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, he was still in Hua County. Therefore, he
After looking around, his eyes moved to King Luo Bin.
"Magistrate Luo, this case will be handed over to your Chang'an County government. You are given one month to solve the case, and you must judge the case impartially and without favoritism." Li Hong ordered King Luo Bin.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my best to investigate the case and solve the case within one month." King Luo Bin replied confidently.
Isn't it possible that he was promoted two levels from the position of chief to the position of county magistrate thanks to the young and resourceful Crown Prince in front of him? Besides, Li Hong's past work style was also deeply liked by King Luo Bin, so
King Luo Bin had already vaguely assigned himself to the prince's side.
"Ambassador An, do you think Gu's arrangement is appropriate?" Li Hong asked An Lai.
In An Lai's mind, the first place for trial in the Tang Dynasty was the Dali Temple, followed by the Ministry of Punishment, and then the government offices of various states and counties. So he was very dissatisfied with Li Hong's arrangement, but Li Hong had the initiative in this matter.
There was nothing he could do in Li Hong's hands. Now that he wanted something from Li Hong, he could only listen to Li Hong.
"I have no objection!" An Lai said.
"Just have no opinion! Haha -" Li Hong said with a smile, said goodbye to Zhong Yi and left the county government. He had already assigned King Luo Bin to investigate this matter, so he would not take care of it anymore because he believed in King Luo Bin's ability.
.
Now he is going to Yanshoufang, and he is going to eat the chopped green onion noodles and pickles made by Zhou Juan.
