Cheng Yaojin then said:
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Yesterday I received intelligence that there were traces of a thousand girls in Anlefang, so this morning, I asked all the soldiers to dress up. Then I found the place where the girls were detained, and then Catch all the enemies in one fell swoop. As soon as they got up, they were caught by the minister. Hundreds of them were arrested in total! These people were extremely powerful, but in front of the minister, they were nothing! The minister even killed five of them directly. personal……"
Cheng Yaojin spoke vividly and immersively. There must be moisture in his words.
This guy likes to brag very much, and he will definitely brag when he encounters this kind of situation.
Therefore, Li Shimin looked at him with some disbelief.
But Li Lizhi is different.
She said: "Uncle Cheng is so powerful, why not go to Ling Mansion? Help Rengui and eliminate the horse thieves? How about it?"
When Cheng Yaojin heard that it was the Ling Mansion horse thief, he immediately settled there. That's not a good thing, and after you go there you have to deal with horse thieves. I heard that those people are very difficult to deal with.
So he looked around and talked about him.
"The prince-in-law went to Ling Mansion? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Yes, he didn't come back last night. It was his sixth brother who asked him to go! What do you think, Uncle Cheng, please help him a little. You are so brave and powerful, you can definitely wipe out those horse thieves! Bring your army with you Go! Just like your invincible bravery today!"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned and regretted.
He paid the price for bragging.
What should we do?
He just went too far.
Logically speaking, there is no problem at all in dealing with horse thieves by yourself.
But those horse thieves are something that people should stay away from.
He didn't dare either. Wouldn’t it be nice to take a good retirement in Chang’an? Why go to such a far away place? It’s such a thankless task.
what to do?
Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also stared at him.
It looks like he might agree.
Unexpectedly, he changed the subject.
"Actually, the Sixth Prince told me these, and he told me how to deal with them. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to deal with these bad guys! Yesterday, he told me how to do it, and gave me the layout plan. Perhaps, Her Royal Highness the Princess can go to the Sixth Prince. Prince, he will definitely find a way!"
"Sixth brother just asked Rengui to go alone!"
Li Lizhi said this.
Cheng Yaojin was shocked.
It's better now.
what to do?
"Actually, I was bragging a little bit just now. Going to Ling Mansion may require the consort! I'd better forget it!"
"Sixth brother only asked Rengui to take a hundred people there!"
"Ah!? That's not enough!"
Even Cheng Yaojin felt it was not enough.
What about everyone?
It seems that Cheng Yaojin is unreliable.
So, Li Lizhi looked at Li Shimin again.
Li Shimin was speechless.
"We'll discuss that later!"
When Li Shimin said this, Li Lizhi became unhappy.
"My father doesn't want to go, so I'll go by myself!"
So he gave the child to Queen Changsun.
He walked out of the palace by himself.
"you……"
Li Shimin was furious.
This does not put yourself in the eyes at all.
But what can he do?
If you can't do it yourself, why don't you ask someone to find Li Min?
At this time, Fang Xuanling's words made him focus on the girl's case again. That's the important thing, the princess comes back as soon as she goes out! no need to worry!
"Your Majesty, my ministers have counted that a thousand girls are missing, of whom thirty-five are dead and more than nine hundred are alive!"
Li Shimin had no choice but to ask:
"Huh? What was the cause of death?"
"Death of abuse!"
"What, these people are so hateful!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, these girls have been brainwashed. If they don't agree, they won't be given food, and some people will beat them!"
Cheng Yaojin said bitterly.
These people are really bad.
Very bad.
"So what kind of people are the murderers?"
Queen Changsun asked.
Fang Xuanling said:
"There are several wizards and more than a hundred accomplices among them, and more than a hundred people have been confessed by them. We are trying our best to arrest them! We have also found out that these girls will be sent to brothels, and they will be in the brothels. Persuading customers to spend money and donate! They are also trained to become money-making machines to extort people's money. I have also written down the name of the brothel! Please leave it to your majesty to decide!"
"Investigate the brothels. From now on, places like brothels are not allowed to appear in Chang'an City again!"
Li Shimin was furious.
This kind of thing is undoubtedly making myself sad.
Therefore, he decided that the brothel would not be allowed to open again in the future.
It is a place that simply destroys women.
Throughout the ages, he was one of the few emperors who dared to ban brothels.
Without further ado, he drafted an imperial edict and stamped it with the jade seal.
in this gap.
"What do they want to do to make money? Has anyone found out?"
Queen Changsun asked.
"This is unknown, but as far as we know, these people have a certain relationship with the case!"
Yiyi followed and said.
Related to the case.
That means they might be the same group of people.
What do these people want to do with their money?
This question lingers in everyone's mind for a long time.
"besides……"
Fang Xuanling said.
"what else?"
"We found out that five of them are closely related to Zhang Liang!"
"Oh? I asked Zhang Liang to come to Chang'an some time ago. How long has he been in Chang'an? I don't believe it was him who did it. Maybe he happened to know him?"
Li Shimin didn't want to believe that all this had anything to do with Zhang Liang. After all, Zhang Liang was considered a loyal minister.
Fang Xuanling then said: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something."
"What's up?"
"The Ling Mansion horse thief incident basically happened at the same time. I believe that the horse thief incident may also have a certain relationship with the case and the girl's case."
Fang Xuanling is indeed a capable person of the generation, and this can all be connected.
Yes, these three things happened at the same time, and also happened after Zhang Liang entered Chang'an. It is inevitable that people doubt that there must be some relationship between them.
"Whether it has anything to do with him or not, don't we just let Zhang Liang enter the palace and ask him carefully?"
Cheng Yaojin said so.
Fang Xuanling said: "If you are a thief, do you know what a thief is?"
When he asked, Cheng Yaojin simply remained silent.
Yes, how can a person who is a thief admit that he is a thief?
"What should we do? If it is really Zhang Liang, we can still control him to prevent him from acting randomly."
"What if it's not? How do you explain it?"
Fang Xuanling asked back.
"Okay, Fang Xuanling orders you to find out! No matter what the cost!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Cheng Yaojin asked.
"You assist Fang Xuanling. The two of you cooperate. If anyone refuses to obey, the army will go out to suppress them!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Cheng Yaojin said very excitedly.
After that, they left the Ming army.
At this time, Li Lizhi walked quickly towards the tenement building.
