"Oh?"

Li Shimin stroked his beard and thought about it, then laughed loudly, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, sure enough, Feng'er is smart! It's a good trick, Feng'er! In this way, the thief I must be feeling anxious inside!"

After laughing, Li Shimin opened his steps and returned to the palace.

…

When he went to court the next morning, Li Shimin announced: "My dear friends! Regarding the case of the theft of 100,000 gold! The eighth prince has already proved the innocence of Qiao Guo Gong Chai Shao! At the same time, the eighth prince also calculated that the thief's whereabouts!"

"What? Eighth prince, do you already know who the thief who stole one hundred thousand disaster relief gold is?"

"Eighth prince, no loss to the world's number one child prodigy, can he find the culprit in such a clueless case?"

"A child prodigy is a child prodigy, so there is no need to say more. The Eighth Prince is so talented, the old minister must be in admiration!"

All the ministers in the audience boasted about Li Chengfeng again in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was naturally happy.

After all, Li Chengfeng is his son, and if others praise his son for being great, then as an old man, he is naturally beautiful in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin coughed slightly, and looked sharply at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty under the court hall.

Li Shimin said: "Actually, I already know who the thief is from the Eighth Prince!"

"He is an important minister of the court, and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty is not small!"

According to Li Chengfeng's method, Li Shimin began to make up things.

The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who can come to court, are they not ministers?

However, after Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhang Liang panicked.

No way? Could it be that he has really been exposed?

Could it be that the eighth prince and the emperor already knew that they were the ones behind the theft of one hundred thousand gold?

No, it's not possible.

When I, Zhang Liang, do things, I will never leave any traces.

How could it be exposed?

Could it be that **** Zhang Tan who exposed my identity?

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang became more and more flustered.

Li Shimin went on to say: "That minister has made contributions to Datang, so I will give him a chance to go to the court to plead guilty in person! If he stands up and pleads guilty now, then I will punish him lightly. After all, one hundred thousand The gold has been recovered! If the thief knows his mistakes, he will correct them. There is nothing good! But if he does not plead guilty, and I have to find out by myself, then the consequences will be very serious!"

In Li Shimin's eyes, a glimmer of chilling light once again flashed.

Zhang Liang kept his head down, not daring to meet Li Shimin's eyes.

His legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

Impossible, how could the Eighth Prince know that I was the one who stole it?

I obviously didn't leave a single trace, did I?

In the end, Zhang Liang still clenched his teeth tightly and did not stand up and plead guilty.

Seeing this, Li Shimin sighed slightly, waved his hands, and said, "Okay, don't say I won't give you a chance, go back and think about it, whether you should stand up and plead guilty, or let Zhen and the Eighth Prince personally hand over the crime to you." Get it out!"

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin waved his sleeves: "Retire!"

…

After retiring from the court, Li Shimin continued to go to the Zhenwang Mansion to look for Li Chengfeng.

Zhang Liang, on the other hand, returned to Yun Gong's mansion in fear.

A young man in Tsing Yi came to Zhang Liang's side.

Holding a fan in his hand, he said in a personable manner: "Uncle, what did the emperor say when you go to court this time?"

Zhang Liang frowned, staring at Zhang Tan with a pair of calculating eyes, said: "The emperor said that he already knew the whereabouts of the thief!"

"What? It's impossible. Our plan is absolutely foolproof. How could the emperor know that we did it?"

"Hmph, I still want to ask you this!"

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth tightly, and shouted: "Zhang Tan, did you leave some clues on the way to work, and the eighth prince discovered it? Now, the emperor has issued an order, or we will admit our sins in person. If we wait for him to catch us, it will not be such a simple crime as beheading! It is very possible that we will be copied and beheaded all over the house, and we will even have a bad reputation for thousands of years!"

"how so?"

Zhang Tan's eyes gradually dimmed and became absent-minded.

"This is impossible. I, Zhang Tan, have always been very strict in handling affairs. Unless there is an inner ghost between us, it is impossible to leave any evidence and be discovered by the emperor!"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"It is very possible that this is the emperor's fishing plan, and it is also very possible that this is the attention of the eighth prince to the emperor! Moreover, I think the eighth prince is very likely. In fact, he already knows that the sinner who stole one hundred thousand disaster relief gold is Us! But because he has no evidence, he wants to use such a trick, so let us not call ourselves!"

"Hiss... this eighth prince is truly terrifying!"

Zhang Liang trembling his hands, said: "Nephew, what should we do now? Either escape from Datang, or we can only confess our guilt! Otherwise, if we continue to procrastinate like this, we will be finished sooner or later!"

Zhang Liang became anxious.

He even started to regret it a little.

He regretted that he should not have listened to Zhang Tan's slander and stole the 100,000 disaster relief gold sent by the emperor to Fang Xuanling.

It's all right now, the eighth prince was killed halfway, and it only took less than a day~lightnovelpub.net~ to solve the case directly?

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, if you want to plead guilty, let me plead guilty. At least if you die, you will be the only one who dies. The emperor thinks that I have confessed my guilt voluntarily, so he shouldn't raid my house, right?"

Zhang Liang pursed his lips tightly.

However, Zhang Tan shook his head and said, "No need, uncle! I think we didn't leave any trace of evidence when we were doing things, so even if the Eighth Prince suspects that we did it, he can't show it." The evidence, otherwise, if he had the evidence, he would have confessed us a long time ago!"

Zhang Tan said: "So I dare to conclude that the emperor probably doesn't know that we are the real thieves. He said that just to keep us from asking ourselves. After all, the crime of stealing 100,000 gold is not a small crime." thing!"

"Then, nephew, what do you mean?"

Zhang Liang asked.

Zhang Tan replied, "Kill the only person who knows the truth! In this way, there is no evidence of crime, and we can still get away with it!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang's face paled instantly, and said: "No, absolutely no! Nephew, do you know the identity of the other party? He is the eighth prince of the Tang Dynasty! How dare you touch him? This is worse than stealing one hundred thousand yuan. The sin of gold is even more serious!"

"Hmph, why don't I dare to touch him? As long as I kill the Eighth Prince without anyone noticing it! Dare I ask, who else in this world knows the sins we have committed? Uncle, we are now a rope Grasshoppers! The gold theft case is enough to kill both of us. Anyway, we are dead anyway. Why don't we be more ruthless! Since the Eighth Prince wants us to confess our guilt? Then let the Eighth Prince know, What do you mean, the world is sinister!"
