There was a sudden silence inside and outside the yard, and only the "crackling" sound of torches igniting sparks in the night wind were heard.

King Jian was still yelling again. The prefect Shuntian beside him had already stepped forward and covered his mouth, whispered in a low voice, "Prince, be careful of your words! Be careful of your words!"

The prefect of Shuntian covered his arms too tightly, and King Jian whimpered and pulled him several times but couldn't pull his hands off.

Li Qian had already strode forward and said in a deep voice: "Where is the Changshi?"

The people who manage affairs in the royal palace are usually appointed by the chief ministers and receive the fourth rank.

A 50-year-old scholar in green with a gentle face walked out tremblingly and said, "I am the chief minister of the royal palace."

Li Qian said: "The prince was frightened and needed cultivation. The affairs in the mansion will be managed by you and the prince. Now the assassin has been captured and the prince has come here. There is no need for so many people here. You can go down to rest first with the prince! Just take care of me and the prince here."

Prince Jian was stunned and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the chief minister.

When the servants of King Jian saw that they all rushed to follow the Changshi.

Cao Xuan had already winked at his subordinates, and the constables and several assassins also retreated.

The entire courtyard became quiet, leaving only a few palace lanterns and Prince Jian, Shuntian Prefecture Order, Li Qian and Cao Xuan in the hall.

The prefect of Shuntian breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Prince Jian.

Prince Jian took a few deep breaths and kicked the prefect of Shuntian.

The prefect of Shuntian was so angry that his face turned red and he almost fell down.

Prince Jian was still unresolved and said, "What are you doing when you cover my mouth? Dog slaves, you only know how to flatter you every day, and you don't do anything serious. You only know how to curry favor with Zhao Xi and please Zhao Xi. The Tartars are here, I think you will definitely run the fastest! What's the use of asking you these things..."

The prefect of Shuntian was a Jinshi from two lists, and was a third-rank official. He was only left in the capital, with the court above and Li Qian below. He was suppressed and lost his temper. But the so-called scholar's arrogance was still there. He heard that he bowed to Li Qian and Cao Xuan, straightened his back, and said with grievance: "Prince, Duke Guo, it's not that I don't want to be a job, but Prince Jian really looks down on his subjects. Instead of making Prince Jian unhappy here, it's better to go back to the government office to see if there are any important official documents in the court. As for Prince Jian's affairs, the ministers will not interfere. With Prince Jian and Duke Guo here, I believe that there will be any big mistakes!" After that, he turned around and left.

Prince Jian was stunned.

This is probably the first time in his life that a small Shuntian prefecture refuted.

If the person sitting on the dragon throne was his real great-grandson, how could he be so angry?

King Jian thought, and was very unwilling to accept that he was even more dissatisfied with the behavior of the Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture, who was leaving with his sleeves.

He pointed at Shuntian Huiyin's back with his fingers and said, "Look, look! If it weren't for the emperor's intention, would he dare to treat me like this? As the saying goes, tea is cold when people leave, and tea will be cold before I leave. It's not that I want to tell Zhao Xi's scandal, but that he is sorry for me..."

The prefect of Shuntian shook his feet and almost fell, but his steps were even more anxious.

One of them stands here with power and one more powerful. They say it is OK, but it will be a disaster for the family to destroy them after hearing this.

They can't let him go!

He thought, but he didn't care about his dignity and power, and ran out of the yard.

Li Qian and Cao Xuan looked at each other. Cao Xuan even said, "Prince, please calm down for the time being. No matter what, when it comes to the emperor, you should think twice before acting. What's more, what you said is nothing but a matter of unfoundedness. The prefect of Shuntian is also kind-hearted, so it would be fine if you don't accept it. Such a big scolding will always lose your identity."

Prince Jian is just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, so he vents his anger!

He glared at Cao Xuan and sneered, "Don't put gild on Zhao Xi's face. If he had a little conscience, he wouldn't even refuse to recognize your cousin. I think you don't need to be tried by the assassin, so I'd better leave it to myself for peace of mind. So why not find out what is wrong with Zhao Xi? You can just cut off the weasel and get rid of the roots. Am I sending chickens to the weasel and asking for trouble?" At this point, he seemed to notice that the assassins disappeared at this time.

"Where are people! Where are people!" he shouted, "Where have you all the untouchables who assassinated me?"

Cao Xuan's people didn't dare to respond even if they heard it.

After all, they were Cao Xuan's people, and they followed Cao Xuan's rules. After hearing Cao Xuan's words, King Jian shouted for a long time but no one paid attention to it.

Li Qian touched his forehead and felt that King Jian was a little crazy. At this time, he would not listen to anything that King Jian said to him.

And he also wanted to know if this matter was related to Zhao Xi!

After all, King Jian is a person with a criminal record - he had previously falsely accused Zhao Xi of killing his mother.

Who knows if this time was a scene he wrote and acted on himself?

He simply said, "How about this. Please calm down and I will interrogate the prisoner yourself. If the prisoner was really sent by the emperor, let's sit down and discuss what to do. If it was not sent by the emperor, don't associate Empress Dowager Han's death with the emperor in the future. What do you think?"

Cao Xuan couldn't help but look at Li Qian.

Li Qian said that he was sincere and trustworthy, and he had his own cunning side and would not make any promises easily. If he made a promise, he would definitely do it.

Is this really related to Zhao Xi?

Otherwise, why would Li Qian not dare to promise King Jian!

Cao Xuan was curious.

He also wanted to know if this matter was related to Zhao Xi!

When assassinating a prince, the one sent out was not a top expert... If it was really related to Zhao Xi... Cao Xuan thought about it and was worried about the emperor's IQ.

He immediately watched the show without fear and said, "Prince Jian, if you are worried, I will interrogate the assassins with King Lintong. What do you think?"

King Jian was afraid that Cao Xuan would be convinced by Li Qian, so he was still worried. He thought for a while and said, "Then the three of us will interrogate together!"

Li Qian was also afraid that this was King Jian’s bitter plan, so he smiled and said, “There must be a presiding judge, otherwise it will be particularly easy to make bad things if you say one by one. I think this is better, so I will leave the person to the subordinates of the Duke to interrogate according to normal procedures. We can just listen behind the scenes. Prince Jian, don’t speak out or interrupt, so as not to affect the interrogation!”

King Jian was anxious to know the result, so he naturally had no objection to Li Qian's proposal, and only urged Li Qian to interrogate quickly: "Stop the long days and nights!"

If Zhao Xi used the excuse that these people were the murderers of assassination and wanted to take them back to Jinling for interrogation, and Li Qian did not want to get involved in this matter, that would be a real trouble!

Li Qian thought that this matter would not be settled, and King Jian was afraid that he would not be able to do anything, so he agreed with a smile.

The three of them went to the torture room temporarily arranged in Prince Jian’s mansion.

I don’t know who it was, but where I found these idiots. At the beginning, several people refused to admit it, saying that they had personal grudges with King Jian. However, the constables under Cao Xuan were all from the world, and they all had their own means to separate people from the interrogation. In an hour, all of these people were recruited.

The people were sent from Gaoling.
