Chapter 55 Confrontation with Li Jing
What is fine silk cloth? It is fabric made of silk.
Such high-quality fabrics are generally only available to the nobles and royal families. As for other poor, lower-middle peasants, they cannot afford them.
I really didn't expect that because of a piece of black fabric that was missed at the scene, I was once in a desperate situation, and finally had clues to continue investigating the investigation.
Even if only nobles and royal families can use things, the scope of the case was suddenly narrowed.
Li Jing and Li Daozong continued to divide the troops into two groups, one by one, responsible for the investigation outside the palace, and conducted investigations and evidence collection for each household for the ministers in the court and even the noble family.
The other way is to interrogate the palace.
The seventy-two courtyards of the latter three palaces and the bedrooms of the princes and princesses are all within the scope of cross-examination.
After all, this was obtained from Li Shimin's edict. Even if all the concubines in the harem were unhappy, they could only obediently follow the laws and cooperate with the investigation.
"Crown Prince, it's not good..."
At that time, Li Chengqian was copying some handwriting in the study, and suddenly heard Niu Dali coming in a hurry.
Niu Dali, who was sweating profusely, had no time to make an announcement, and broke into the study and said anxiously: "Eunuch Cao is now bringing Shangshu Li to our Eastern Palace. Prince, what should you do now?"
"What are you panic? Don't panic, be calm, the day has not collapsed."
Li Chengqian slowly put down the brush in his hand, wiped the ink on his hand with a handkerchief, and then he said slowly: "If they come, let them come, there is nothing to make a fuss."
"But the prince... I heard that they found some evidence of guilt in the abandoned house on Shilipo. These things are likely to be unfavorable to us."
"I know, do you think of the shoe that fell from the debate machine? There is also a piece of black fabric, right? I have heard it a long time ago. Oh, it's also our fault. We were too hurrying and didn't have time to clean the scene, otherwise..."
"Your Highness, Eunuch Cao and the others have come here, saying that you are going out."
The master and servant were talking, but the general manager Li Qingshan also came in a hurry and made a notice.
"Okay, I'll be ready to go out. Manager Li, you go out to entertain them."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Li Chengqian shook his clothes and said to Niu Dali, who was confused, "It's a blessing, it's a disaster, it's a disaster, you can't escape it. Let's go, let's go out."
In the lobby, Li Jing and Cao Gongzheng were greeted by Li Qingshan.
The two of them were tasting tea, looking leisurely, and they didn't look like they were here to interrogate and collect evidence.
One is the Duke of the State, the Minister of War, and the other is the old man who served by His Majesty. Li Qingshan had to cheer up and serve him carefully.
"Eunuch Li, what have the prince been busy with recently?" Li Jing asked Li Qingshan without any trace.
Li Qingshan quickly answered: "In recent days, His Royal Highness, either teaches the princes and princesses in the South Study room, or reads and writes in the study room."
"Oh, is that? It's great that the prince can demand himself so strictly." Li Jing smiled slightly, lowered his head, and continued to drink tea.
The entire palace has been interrogated, but in the end no problems have been found.
The Prince's Eastern Palace is the last stop.
Within a cup of tea, Li Chengqian came with Niu Dali.
After entering the lobby, Li Chengqian picked up Li Jing on the seat at a glance.
He has a burly and tall figure, a strong and distinct face, and under his black eyebrows, there are bright eyes, which are extremely sharp, as if he can fully understand anything in the world at a glance.
Is he Li Jing? A great military advisor who is a god-like military force?
The south pacified Xiao Xian and Fu Gongshi, the north destroyed the eastern Turks, and the west destroyed the Tuyuhun, making great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Seeing this god today, Li Chengqian's eyes shining.
This Li Jing is a big shot.
"Prince!"
Li Jing and Eunuch Cao both made Ju.
Li Chengqian also replied with a gift.
Li Jing immediately started the topic: "Crown Prince, bringing people here today is also the intention of Your Majesty. If you disturb the prince, please forgive me."
Li Jing said this beautifully, and the process of dealing with smart people is refreshing.
"Li Shangshu is polite. It is not only the father's meaning, but also the responsibility of Li Shangshu. Gao Ming will naturally cooperate with your work." Li Chengqian had to pretend to be polite.
"Have the prince left the palace these days?" Li Jing asked immediately without hesitation.
"Of course I have to leave the palace. Just now, I just came back. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Pretending to be crazy is Li Chengqian's strength.
Everything is said and said to people when you see them, and to say to ghosts before there is no evidence.
"Oh, there's nothing, I'm just asking casually. I believe that during this period, you, Prince, have also known that the entire Chang'an City was so chaotic that the Bian Ji case was known to everyone. The reason why I came here is to collect evidence."
When Li Jing said this, he stared at Li Chengqian with a bright look.
Li Chengqian's heart was not beating, his face did not flush, and he continued to deal with him: "I know, so, Shangshu Li, you have been visiting and investigating this matter for days and day and night. Thank you all for your hard work."
"Crown Prince, you are so kind. This is just my duty. I have not worked hard."
As he said that, Li Jing immediately took out the piece of black fabric found from the scene and handed it to Li Chengqian: "Prince, this piece of fabric was discovered in an abandoned house on Shilipo outside the city. There is also a shoe from Bianji. Look at this fabric, do you recognize it?"
The moment he saw this black cloth, Niu Dali, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, couldn't help but change his face.
This piece of fabric was clearly used by the prince to cover his eyes before.
It's so damn!
Why did they lose such an obvious thing?
Is this the so-called "one hundred secrets" and one sparse?
Niu Dali's face suddenly changed and was instantly caught by Li Jing.
Of course, even if Li Jing really discovered something, with Li Jing's intelligence, he would not show any emotion on his face.
If he had no such ability, he would not be the Li Jing who was very good at using military force.
Taking the black cloth, Li Chengqian looked at it casually.
It was obviously something he had lost, but Li Chengqian looked like he didn't recognize him. Touch him, then look at him.
After a while, Li Chengqian said: "Shu Li, where did you find such a piece of high-quality fabric? At first glance, if someone who can use such fabrics can judge that this person must be either rich or noble."
Are you planning to call for robbers? Is it too shameless?
Li Jing asked calmly: "Prince, have you taken it seriously? Do you really don't recognize this piece of fabric?"
"I really don't recognize it, it's even more real than the pearls of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea."
That's right, this black cloth strip is what he is from Li Chengqian.
But if you want him to admit it, it is not impossible. As long as Li Jing has the ability to let the sun come out to the west and let the iron tree bloom.
Then, Li Chengqian will definitely not continue to argue.
