I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Whether it's true or not, you can find out if you call the prince over and ask.

Sensing the solemn atmosphere, Qianniuwei acted quickly, and brought Li Chengqian over in a short while. He limped into the room, and the first thing he saw was Zhou Xiaosan, which made him feel a little nervous. Not so good subtlety.

He politely bowed to his father, and then asked, "Why did your father call the child over?"

Li Shimin just leaned back and said softly: "The matter of the Ministry of Industry's tung oil being secretly replaced with kerosene has come to light. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Li Chengqian's heart tightened, he suddenly raised his head, and looked at Zhou Xiaosan in surprise.

Zhou Xiaosan's eyes were indifferent. When he met Li Chengqian's gaze, he was not afraid at all. His status was much worse than that of the prince.But his background is tough!
One is the prince's father, and the other is the prince's brother-in-law, no matter which one, the prince cannot offend.

Silent for a long time.

Li Chengqian decided to play dumb: "My child doesn't know what the father said?"

Li Shimin opened his eyes slightly: "Do you want me to bring those people to you, Zhou Langzhong?"

"The minister is here." Zhou Xiaosan replied, and sang the double reed, "It only takes a quarter of an hour to interrogate the prisoner from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and at this time, the prisoner arrested from Jinchengfang should also have a recorded statement."

The three words "Jinchengfang" made Li Chengqian somewhat defensive.

After recording the four words of the confession, his heart trembled like chaff.

Didn't the Cui family say that they would never expose it?This was two hours ago, how could it be so easily punctured two hours later?

Zhou Xiaosan took half a step forward, and said sharply, "The prince is really arrogant. When I went to arrest the criminals, he even tried to bribe me."

"He even yelled...he is the prince's servant. If the prince knows this, he will definitely make the minister suffer."

Li Chengqian was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? Isn't this... a very strict tone?But listening to the meaning of these words, he gave all his information before the interrogation?

"Is that what you said?" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth and asked sharply, losing his composure.As soon as these words came out of his mouth, he knew something was wrong.Although he didn't admit it, but he didn't ask himself, this sentence has already admitted that he did it by himself.

Li Shimin closed his eyes again.

Zhou Xiaosan smiled and nodded.

Li Chengqian fell silent and stopped talking.

Li Shimin sighed and waved his hands: "Mr. Zhou, you should step back first."

Zhou Xiaosan sang, turned and left, and then went straight to Tongfu restaurant, um, he didn't do it himself, it was His Majesty's order, and he wanted to tell his Dalang the news.

In the room, only their father and son were left, and the atmosphere became even more dull.

"Tell me, why did you do this?" Li Shimin's voice was a little muffled. Anyone who was stabbed by his son and still had to do something against him would not be in a good mood.

Li Chengqian stood blankly.

Li Shimin didn't speak, just waited.

After a long time, Li Chengqian finally opened his mouth slowly: "Father, this matter was indeed done by the child."

"Why?" Li Shimin asked again.

Li Chengqian was silent, and after a long while, he struggled to open his mouth and said: "Father respects Qingque, what do you want to do?"

Li Shimin laughed back angrily: "So you did this kind of thing?"

Li Chengqian remained silent.

"Is someone from a powerful family helping you?" Li Shimin tapped the table lightly, and asked another question.

But Li Chengqian still didn't speak, it was impossible for him to answer this question - although for some reason, the situation did not develop according to what the Cui family said earlier.

But he knew very well that if he vomited out the aristocratic family at this time, then he would never be able to escape from his father's control in his life.

Whatever his father said, he could only do so. If his father said in the future that you cannot be an emperor, he would not even have the capital to resist.

"I see." After a long, long silence, Li Shimin threw out such a sentence, and drove Li Chengqian out with a wave.

Li Chengqian somewhat understood what his father seemed to know, he bowed silently and bid farewell.

Sitting in the carriage in silence all the way, when he was about to return to the Prince's Mansion, he called the Cui family over and asked him what was going on.

But... as soon as he got out of the carriage, the porter notified him, and the Cui family asked to see him, but the prince was not there, so they led him into the study.

The Cui family asked to see?
He trembled again in his heart, why did he come to look for him at this time... Could it be because of the incident in Jinchengfang?
He walked quickly to the study room. The Cui family had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Li Chengqian approaching, they immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, something is not right."

"What happened?" Li Chengqian frowned.

The Cui family's face was stern: "Your Highness, something is wrong. I just found out the person in Jinchengfang. He...he often colludes with His Royal Highness King Wei."

Li Chengqian paused.

This time, everything was colluded in his mind, why did that person reveal his name so quickly.

It's not the Cui family's problem, it's his younger brother's problem—he actually put people by his side?Has His Royal Highness the King of Wei really managed to do so without knowing it?
"Now they seem to have run away." The Cui family continued to speak anxiously, frowning, looking extremely worried, "When I sent someone to look for them, the house was in a mess."

"Your Highness, we have to find those people quickly, or else..."

Li Chengqian waved his hand and shook his head: "It's too late."

The Cui family was taken aback.

Li Chengqian sighed: "Those people were not taken away by Qingque, they were taken away by Zhou Xiaosan."

The Cui family hurriedly lowered their heads, showing a very sad and self-blame look, but in fact he was just afraid that he couldn't help laughing.

"Father already knew about this." Li Chengqian's face was extremely ugly.

The Cui family suddenly raised their heads, surprised, pretending to be shocked and said: "Your Majesty already knows?"

"Yeah." Li Chengqian nodded sadly, "But I didn't expose the news of your existence, so I alone should bear the responsibility."

"You wait, but you have to help the orphan."

The Cui family nodded, with a straight face, and said solemnly: "Your Highness is so kind and virtuous, I must never dare to forget, and I will definitely do my best for His Highness until I die."

Li Chengqian was very relieved.

On the second day at the court, Li Shimin looked at the ministers, took a deep breath, and clapped his hands lightly: "This person who hinders the public school, Zhou Langzhong has already found out."

"The chief culprit is my prince."
