Li Mingda rolled his eyes at Chai Lingwu: "That's because the benefits I gave you are not enough."
"Then what good can I believe?"
Li Mingda rubbed his chin, thought briefly and asked Chai Lingwu: "What would you do if I told you when you were suffering from brain disease that your disease would be cured as long as you believed in me?"
Chai Lingwu thought for a while: "I had a severe headache at that time and it was very uncomfortable. If I had said this at that time, I might have believed it."
"I'm telling you now, what if I can cure your brain disease if you believe it?"
"Of course I still believe it. After taking the medicine, my brain disease is much better."
"So, this is the way. One of your cousins and guards must be at the beginning, and then introduce them one by one. There is also another possibility that there are still two or five boys hiding in your house, waiting to kill you."
Chai Lingwu stood up in fright: "No, there is more."
Before Li Mingda had time to answer, the guard at the door announced: "Your Royal Highness, someone from Dali Temple is visiting."
"who?"
Guards: "Master Sun Fuga, the minister of Dali Temple, Cheng Yu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and Zhou Cang, the chief minister of Dali Temple"
Yo
Li Mingda was a little surprised when she heard the last two names. She had left Cheng Yu and Zhou Cang in Dali Temple for so long, and she knew they were doing well. What she didn't expect was that Sun Fujia brought them both together.
This was a damn coincidence. Li Mingda was just thinking about how to leave this case to Cheng Yu.
It's easy to use your own people, so that you don't have to secretly stumble yourself. It's disgusting to be taken advantage of by someone with intentions and say that you directed and acted in this matter.
"Let them in"
Li Mingda turned his head and glanced at Chai Lingwu and told him: "Stop talking for a while. Don't ruin the reputation of the Chai family by embarrassing yourself everywhere. Even if the Chai family is in your hands, that's all."
Chai Lingwu was very depressed. If he didn't attack people like this, he would still be the Duke of the country. However, Li Mingda had no intention of giving him face.
"Also, tell me the details of the case clearly, and take the medicine to treat brain diseases home soon. Oh, and by the way, if Dali Temple asks you to investigate the case, tell the truth. Don't make yourself look like a human being."
Chai Lingwu opened his mouth for a long time and spit out one word: "Yes"
Chai Lingwu shut up and Sun Fuga led Cheng Yu and Zhou Cang in.
All three of them were covered in rainwater and their shoes were wet. It was obvious that they had been outside for a long time.
After entering and cleaning himself up, Sun Fujia saluted Li Mingda and Chai Lingwu: "Well done, Your Royal Highness, and well, Mr. Qiao Guoguo."
Cheng Yu and Zhou Cang also followed: "Well done, Your Royal Highness, Princess Qiao, how are you doing?"
Li Mingda raised his hand to ask them to get up: "Okay, no need to be polite, sit down."
The three of them took their seats one after another
Li Mingda: "Father has reinstated Mr. Sun to his post, but he wants to get to the bottom of it."
Sun Fujia nodded: "Your Majesty is furious. This matter can only fall on the official again. Fortunately, Cheng Yu and Zhou Cang are two capable helpers, otherwise I would have difficulty finding a clue."
"Well, you two listened to Mr. Sun's praise. It seems that you two must have real abilities. What did you find out?"
Sun Fujia signaled Cheng Yu to speak, and Cheng Yu recounted to Li Mingda: "According to the investigation of the movement trajectory of this group of gangsters, we found that they have gathered from all corners of Chang'an City along the way. It has been more than a month."
Chai Lingwu was surprised: "So long"
Cheng Yu nodded: "Yes, according to the survey of residents around the place where they rented, this is indeed the case."
Chai Lingwu was shocked. More than a month ago, didn't he risk his own life and come to Li Mingda's house to propose marriage to Murong Xue? "
Looking at Chai Lingwu's expression, Li Mingda knew what he was thinking and reminded Cheng Yu: "It's been more than a month. It seems that the time when Duke Qiao came to my house and suffered from brain disease was around this time."
Chai Lingwu nodded: "It seems to be the case. I don't even remember why I came to the princess's house. My housekeeper and servant told me that I still can't remember."
Suddenly a light flashed through Cheng Yu's heart: "My lord, I understand, Mr. Sun, 80% of the case of Imperial Physician Li Li is also related to this assassination."
Sun Fujia suddenly looked back at Cheng Yu and said, "What do you mean?"
"That's right, the imperial physician Li Li was killed by his crazy nephew Li Qi. Afterwards, Li Qi had no idea what happened and was still complaining about injustice. After Li Li's death, I inspected the scene and found something written on Li Li's desk. , I really don’t know where it is hidden, but I can vaguely distinguish the word "urge"
"I and several colleagues thought it was to collect debts. After investigation, they found that Li Li did not have any debts. On the contrary, his family property was very rich. Li Qi liked some strange things and often went to the West Market to exchange them for strange things. "
"After the incident, Li Qi lost his memory and only remembered that he was ordered to go to the West Market by Li Li. When asked again, he no longer remembered. This situation is very similar to Duke Qiao, so I think the key point of the murderer should be It’s the West Market”
Sun Fujia was a veteran in handling cases and immediately grasped the clues: "Mr. Qiao, have you been to the West Market more than a month ago?"
Chai Lingwu thought for a while: "I have indeed been there. I heard that a new batch of orchids and fine wine came to the West Market." Then he conveyed it to Sun Fujia with a "you know how" expression.
Sun Fujia is also an experienced driver, and he instantly understood what Orchid and Fine Wine in the Western Regions meant.
Li Mingda showed contempt for the two people, bullying us for talking nonsense.
Not happy
bother
[○･｀Д´･○]
Sun Fuga and Chai Lingwu looked at each other and smiled and continued: "It seems that the problem lies here. I dare to ask Duke Qiao who sent the invitation that day."
"Well, I remember it seems to be Zhang Liang's son Zhang Jie, as well as Hou Jie, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo, and who else is there, I can't remember. Oh, by the way, there are also Changsun Chong and Changsun Haoliliwai. There are about ten people outside."
Chai Lingwu noticed something was wrong with Li Mingda's eyes and hurriedly explained: "They are all good men ranked in the ranks of Chang'an City. There are no cowards and no..."
Chai Lingwu realized that his people really didn't have much to praise, so he could only shut up.
╭(╯^╰)╮
"You guys are full every day and have nothing to do. I will tell my father to let you all go to the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty to exercise, otherwise you will be embarrassed in the city of Chang'an every day."
"No, we have never oppressed the people. At most, we just can't stand the young masters of those aristocratic families."
"Where's Hou Jie?"
"He was an accident"
"You were no better when you were a child. Don't think that I don't know. There is a thick pile of things about you in Jinyiwei."
Chai Lingwu shut his mouth instantly. He didn't want to continue arguing with Li Mingda about these matters, because when he saw the anger on Li Mingda's face, he instantly thought of his fierce old woman who hung him up and whipped him.
Li Mingda became angry when he saw Chai Lingwu. Perhaps the main reason was that his Ruyi weapon was missing and whether he could replace it now.
"Jin Yiwei captured the gangster yesterday and is still in custody. He has been interrogated. I will ask Qingfeng to send a copy to Dali Temple when the information is received. People, where do you think it is suitable to lock him up?"
