Chapter 969 Li Chengqian's thoughts

Di Renjie packed everything in Dali Temple. On the second day of the court, he entered the palace and came to Ganlu Hall. He handed a memorial to Li Chengqian who had just left the court and said, "Your Majesty, the murder case of the Xie family has been found. Please check it out."

Li Chengqian took the memorial handed over by Wang Jin and did not open it to read it, but put it aside and said, "You say, I'll listen."

"Report to Your Majesty, there are thirteen lives in this murder case. The deceased are all from the Xie family of the Jiangnan clan. It has been proved that the murderers of Lingnan are the swordsmen from Lingnan. These swordsmen from Lingnan were sent by the Xie family."

"The Xie family sent someone to kill their own children?" Li Chengqian said in confusion.

"Yes." Di Renjie continued: "The internal strife of the Xie family is endless. There are children in the Xie family who have been looking at each other in Jiangnan for many years for their interests and status. They can also blame Mr. Gu. There are confessions in the memorials, and the Xiao family in Jiangnan also participates in hiding prisoners. Now the Xiao family has handed over several people and fines."

Listening to the words, Li Chengqian roughly understood that he had heard too much in the palace since he was a child. If Gu Qing had not appeared, he might have been to the death with Li Tai now. Everyone is the same, and the Jiangnan clan would not be an exception. If he was a child with inheritance in Jiangnan, he would have chosen to take action at this time, one would have sent dissidents, and the other would have been able to frame the blame. As long as there was no evidence, everything would be just suspicion.

It is indeed the best time to get rid of your opponent.

After thinking about this, Li Chengqian continued to ask: "What happened when Dali Temple said that the Xie family wanted to bribe Gu Qing."

"I heard from the Xie family that this incident was just a misunderstanding when they were alive. In order to ensure that it is correct, I have sent spies from Dali Temple to Jiangnan to investigate." Di Renjie bowed and said.

"That's good." Li Chengqian nodded and said to Di Renjie: "There is one very important thing I need you to check."

"I will follow your Majesty's orders."

"The Jiangnan area is far away from the temple. There are some things that the court cannot take care of Jiangnan. I have never seen many things that the court has done before. I want you to send someone to check whether the officials in Jiangnan are clean."

After hearing these words, Di Renjie looked around. There were only Li Chengqian, himself and Wang Jin in the Ganlu Palace.

Di Renjie continued: "Your Majesty, will anyone else know about this except me?"

"What are you worried about?" Li Chengqian's eyes were gloomy.

Di Renjie looked up at Li Chengqian and continued, "Your Majesty, there are not many spies in Dali Temple, and there are only a few who can be sent to Chang'an. Once people in Jiangnan notice it, something will inevitably happen. I am worried that some people can do everything for the sake of their interests."

"No matter how hidden things are, some people will know. Even if I don't tell others, will the people in Jiangnan not notice it?"

"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"Say." Li Chengqian said while sitting upright.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be done by Dali Temple. It is best for the three parties to act together." Di Renjie continued: "First send officials from the Ministry of Personnel to Jiangnan to contact officials of various prefectures and prefectures in Jiangnan on the grounds of verifying the trend of evaluating the trend, and also send officials from the Ministry of Revenue to go to Jiangnan to attract their sight on the grounds of checking the fields. Dali Temple secretly checked, and the three parties were in charge. If something happened, they could help each other. The three parties did not contact each other and did their own things. The results of the three parties could also be compared in the end, and there was also a mutual supervision effect."

"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't trust anyone, it's just that the other party dares to intercept and kill people outside Chang'an. The other party's ruthlessness is seen. Jiangnan is not Chang'an, and there is no such protection. Please think twice."

"That's good." Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully, "One can come and go into Jiangnan with a big blow, attracting many eyeliners, and the other can observe in secret."

"Yes." Di Renjie responded.

"Gu Qing..." Li Chengqian said as if he was in deep thought. After thinking for a while, he said, "It is said that Gu Qing invited three children to his family to have a banquet. Are you also present at that time?"

"That's right." Di Renjie nodded.

"What did they say?" Li Chengqian said: "I don't doubt Gu Qing, but I just think there must be a reason for Gu Qing to invite them."

"The Supreme Emperor was also present at that time, but the Supreme Emperor asked the minister to leave the Gu family. As for what he said, he really didn't know. Maybe His Majesty could go and ask the Supreme Emperor." Di Renjie whispered."

"Okay, you go back and do your business." Li Chengqian said again.

"I'm leaving."

Di Renjie walked out of Dali Temple. In fact, he was surprised to see Li Shimin at Gu Qing's house at the beginning. He said what Gu Qing said to the three families. He could hear clearly when he stood outside the courtyard. Li Chengqian would ask this and he was still very concerned about the relationship between Jiangnan and the Gu family. Just as his teacher said, Li Chengqian could not see the interests of the waterway. If the four major clans in Jiangnan fought with Gu Qing, it was exactly what he, Li Chengqian, was happy to see.

Thinking of this, when my teacher left the position of prime minister in the future, I was still very disappointed. I didn’t want to talk to Li Chengqian too much, so I didn’t need to tell Li Chengqian all the time.

Thinking about why the teacher asked Li Shimin to the banquet, perhaps to prevent Li Chengqian from inviting the three families to have a banquet. Li Chengqian must have guessed that he must have wanted to know what Gu Qing and the three families said.

Li Chengqian sat in Ganlu Hall without seeing what Di Renjie wrote in the memorial. He looked at the sunshine in Ganlu Hall and whispered to Wang Jin: "The Xiao family has left Chang'an with their family?"

"Yes." Wang Jin said, "I left early this morning."

"Where is the Yuan family and the Wang family?" Li Chengqian continued.

"Some of these two families have left, and some of them have remained." Wang Jin replied.

Li Chengqian nodded slightly, "I want to meet the people from the Yuan family and the Wang family, it is best to have a few children who have been to Gu Qing's banquet."

"I'll make arrangements now."

"Okay." Li Chengqian nodded.

After noon, Wang Jin came to Li Chengqian again and said, "Your Majesty, I can't invite you."

After receiving this news, Li Chengqian looked at Wang Jin in surprise, "What's going on?"

"Everyone said that he couldn't come when he was sick." Wang Jin whispered: "I also said that I had invited the doctor to see him. After eating Gu Qing's family, he vomited and had diarrhea all day and night until he had not healed yet. I really couldn't come."

"Spitting and diarrhea?" Li Chengqian almost cursed, "Did Gu Qing drug them?"

"It's still unknown." Wang Jin said.

Covering his forehead with distress, Li Chengqian said deflatedly, "I want to meet Zhinu, by the way... Gu Qing didn't drug Zhinu."
