Chapter 4 Ghosts and Gods? I never believe in ghosts and gods in my life

"You don't know." Li You held the knife horizontally and sat down on the table.

"Her old man is unhappy with me every day now, and visits me from time to time. As a royal child, I don't worry about the people every day. Instead, I stay in Dali Temple all day long and do not do my job."

"Isn't this a big deal? Should I compete with my brothers for that position? I should be doing something I like every day, but he interferes with me every day and talks about me in front of my father.

It’s as if I owe him something.”

"Sir Shangguan was the number one scholar back then, and he is still considered a literary master." Li Zhi walked up from his seat, came to sit next to Li You, and sat down.

"Your song "About to Enter the Wine" made many literati go crazy for it. I don’t need to tell you how happy Sir Shangguan was to see you during that time. But now you stay in Dali Temple every day, and Sir Shangguan is not angry.

That’s weird.”

"Um..." Li You was at a loss for words for a moment and didn't know how to answer better.

"You can't blame me! I want to do something I like, can't I? Will I spend the rest of my life just like these old men relying on paper and ink articles? Then you might as well kill me."

"You are the prince, I am crazy, I will kill you." Li Zhi said with a smile:

"Anyway, you two can handle your own affairs. In fact, as long as His Majesty agrees, Lord Shangguan's opinion won't matter."

"After all, for a person like Lord Shangguan, what he respects most is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. He will definitely listen to what your majesty says."

"Let's talk about it later! Have you started working on the case now?" Li You waved his hand, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, and asked about the case instead.

"I've already been there once." Li Zhi nodded and said:

"Zhao Kuangguo is at home at this time, sitting there blankly. Futaba has tried a way to test it. The person is indeed dead, but how long he has been dead cannot be determined for the time being."

"A person who died several years ago suddenly appeared in Chang'an, and his body did not rot. This is not an easy matter." Li You tilted his head slightly and said with a smile:

"Zhao Kuangguo must have colluded with a pair of Persian businessmen to poison the horses of the army because he joined the army in the Western Regions. Then General Xuanwei at the time, who is now the Minister of War, ordered them to be buried alive together with the Persian businessmen."

"The reappearance of people who were buried alive means that they must not have died at the beginning."

"Don't you believe this is the work of ghosts and gods?" Li Zhi asked.

"Ghosts and gods? What I don't believe in most in my life is this stuff. I only believe in myself." Li You snorted coldly, shrugged and said:

"The fact that they didn't die at the beginning means that there must be another reason for that incident, and it may even be related to General Xuan Wei."

"What if it's a frame-up? There's nothing they can do against General Xuanwei."

"I have thought about this matter, but now that he has been appointed as Minister of War, he is not so restless." Li Zhi looked seriously and shook his head.

"I also found out about this at the time. It was precisely because he was involved that I didn't continue to investigate. Didn't this make you come back?" Li You stood up, returned to his seat and sat down.

"But I already have some guesses about this case."

"Oh?" Li Zhi returned to his seat and sat down.

"What guess?"

"I'm afraid General Xuanwei is going to die next."

"What?" Li Zhi suddenly sat up, with a serious face, and turned to look at Li You.

"Can this be taken seriously?"

"I said it was my guess, why are you anxious?" Li You waved his hand helplessly.

Li Zhi was very shocked. He slowly sat down and asked:

"Why do you think so?"

"They should not be dead." Li You rarely sat seriously and said:

"Zhao Kuangguo should not be dead, and if you want to make some progress next, in addition to Zhao Kuangguo, you should also find some new Persian merchants in Chang'an City who came to the city during the period when the corpse fraud case occurred."

"Everything they did was to avenge the people who were buried alive. The next target of revenge should be General Xuanwei."

"Go check it out!"

"Okay! I'll leave first." Li Zhi put away his sword and left quickly.
