The name sounded familiar. After reacting for a while, Liu Qi suddenly remembered it.
"Lu Liang, are you the merchant Shen San mentioned?"
"Exactly down there."
Liu Qi looked him up and down.
"Aren't you a businessman? Why did you become a warlock?"
"Trading merchants are my main business, and warlocks are my side business."
This person was a bit interesting, and Liu Qi began to become somewhat interested in what he just said.
"Now that you know my identity, how dare you talk nonsense? Believe it or not, I can send you to the government right now!"
Facing Liu Qi's verbal threats, Lu Liang was very calm.
"Of course I believe it, but even if you do this, you will still send someone to find me."
Hey, this Lu Liang is so arrogant.
"You just said that I will be imprisoned in the near future. It's a joke. I have committed no crime and have no evidence. How can I be imprisoned?"
When Liu Qi thought about it, this guy was just a liar.
If you believe him, you may start asking questions and find clues from your own words so that you can believe that what he said is the truth.
But Lu Liang didn't. He put his hands into his sleeves and smiled slightly.
"Whether you believe it or not, it all depends on you. This is just a kind reminder and no offense is intended."
Liu Qi laughed.
"Okay, since you said that, you might as well think about it. When will I go to jail?"
"Within three days."
Liu Qi didn't believe this answer even more.
If he had stayed in the East Palace for the past three days, he would still be accused for no reason.
These warlocks are actually doing these mysterious tricks.
Labor and management are modern people, how can they believe your nonsense?
"Okay, if I don't go in within three days, I will definitely look for you and send you to the government with my own hands!"
Lu Liang smiled and shook his head.
"No, you won't be able to come in three days."
Liu Qi didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and lost the interest in eating. He got on the carriage and hurried back to the East Palace.
"Your Highness, you are looking for me."
Liu Qi really treated him as one of his own.
He didn't hide anything and told everything that happened during the period.
"The original plan was for you to bring my king's 30,000 troops with you in case of emergencies, but now it seems that they won't be needed."
"Oh, by the way, Lieutenant Qin, in three days, you go to Xishang, find a man named Lu Liang, send him to prison directly, and say that it was me who sent him."
Qin Wei was a little confused.
"Your Highness, this subordinate is confused."
"Since this person is guilty of your crime, why do you have to wait until three days later?"
Liu Qi laughed.
"That man is a charlatan. He actually told me that he would be imprisoned within three days. I also told him, but he was not accurate. He would be sent to prison in three days."
Hearing this, Qin Wei laughed at the sorcerer's ignorance and dared to deceive even the prince.
But Bai Qi looked serious.
"Your Highness, is there any news from the palace now?"
Liu Qi shook his head.
"No, the palace is now completely restricted, and the king's spies are of no use at all. I think I should have faith by tomorrow."
But this wait is only three days.
Liu Qi ran into Weiyang Palace several times and looked for Yang Mi many times, but he still couldn't find any information.
The only thing that can be known now, and the truth that many people already know, is that there is an assassin in the palace, and the emperor is fine.
Now, is the emperor really fine? It seems that Zhang Shi’s words cannot be fully believed.
If there really is a change, we can only act according to the plan mentioned by Bai Qi.
At this time, Liu Qi came outside the house, looked at the blue sky, and suddenly remembered what Lu Liang said a few days ago.
I couldn't help but smile to myself.
He is indeed a liar. Today is the third day and I am still not at ease. Until tomorrow, just wait for Qin Wei to get you.
"Qin Wei!"
After hearing the sound, after a while, Qin Wei's figure ran over from the side yard.
"Go to Fuling Palace, find Zhang Dehai, and ask him to ask as much as possible if there is anything unusual in the palace."
"I obey my orders!"
But as soon as Qin Wei reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
I saw dozens of armored guards standing outside the door.
And at the front of these people is Ting Weiqing Zhang Shi.
His appearance gave Qin Wei an extremely bad premonition.
"Master Zhang, what is your purpose of bringing so many people here?"
Zhang Shi stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"General Qin, following the emperor's instructions, we are here to bring the prince for questioning. And you."
Qin Wei was shocked. Not only was the prince involved, but he was also involved.
Could it be Bai Qi?
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Qi already learned about the news here from his servants.
He calmly walked to the courtyard gate and glanced at the group of guards.
"Master Zhang, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness, I am following the Emperor's instructions to take you and General Qin to Tingwei's Mansion for questioning."
Tingwei Mansion. Major cases involving state officials are all handled by Tingwei.
Unless there is sufficient evidence, Tingwei will never show up to take someone, not to mention he is still the prince.
"Master Zhang, what crime did this king commit?"
"His Royal Highness will know when he arrives at Tingwei."
The incident happened suddenly, and Liu Qi was a little suspicious.
"Okay, since you said it was His Majesty's oral instruction, then I will go and ask my father personally."
After Liu Qi finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Shi.
Qin Wei immediately put his hand on the sword at his waist.
"Bold! Prince, do you dare to stop me?"
At this moment, a group of imperial guards behind Zhang Shi also showed their weapons, and the atmosphere became tense for a while.
Zhang Shi walked up to Liu Qi calmly and bowed.
"Your Highness makes atonement. The Emperor has said that everything will wait until you arrive at Tingwei and investigate clearly. You can't leave now."
The third thought is that now is not the time to use force. It is better to wait until Ting Wei and figure everything out.
"Qin Wei, put your sword back!"
"Okay, I will go with you!"
In this way, under the leadership of a group of imperial guards, Liu Qi and Qin Wei arrived at Tingwei's mansion.
Zhang Shi was very polite. When he arrived in the hall, he even arranged a seat for the prince.
"Tell me, what brought me here?"
Zhang Shi took out a charge sheet from his sleeve.
"Your Highness, what is written here is the confession of the criminal who assassinated the Emperor."
Liu Qi chuckled.
"What? Could it be that you want to say that this assassin has something to do with me? On that day, I was always in Princess Qingyang's mansion, and there are multiple witnesses."
Zhang Shi nodded and put the charges on the table.
"The prince was indeed not present that day, and all the ministers can testify to this."
"But this assassin has connections with His Highness and General Qin. Moreover, this person finally confessed that the person who instigated him to do this was you!"
