Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 189 Family Love
Liu Youhe looked at Bao Jinzhong who didn't take it seriously, moved his mouth, but didn't say anything, he could only salute and left the general's mansion.

In the palace, Li Chengdao was also having a small meeting. Kong Ming, Qinglong, and Baihu sat on both sides, and Li Chengdao paced back and forth in the bedroom.

"Baihu, has the interrogation of Bao Jiuhai produced any results?" Li Chengdao asked.

When Bai Hu heard this, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, after the interrogation, the results have been obtained and I am about to report to you!"

"Tell me, what exactly is the charcoal recorded in the account book?"

"For Your Majesty, it should refer to gunpowder!"

"gunpowder!"

Li Chengdao frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes, His Majesty has decreed that General Gan Ning set up a Shenji Battalion to test firearms. Originally, the cost of this gunpowder was reasonable, and there was no way to consider the amount. For this reason, Bao Jiuhai and others started using this gunpowder. Please note that the account book was created by Bao Jiuhai when he was trading gunpowder with others!"

"Have you ever found out who he was dealing with?"

"Your Majesty, when it comes to this, Bao Jiuhai refuses to tell the truth even if he dies. Bao Jiuhai claims that the person he is dealing with is of high authority. Bao Jiuhai knows that he will be punished by death, but he says that if he confesses this person, , I'm afraid that my family and children will be in danger, so..."

"So what?" Li Chengdao looked at my squeaking white tiger and asked anxiously.

"Damn my subordinates, I didn't expect that Bao Jiuhai bit off his tongue. Although he is not dead, he is speechless now!"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao couldn't help sighing, and said: "Baihu doesn't have to blame himself, and you can't blame you for this matter. Besides, although Bao Jiuhai has become dumb, there are still Liu Youhe and Bao Jinzhong. Please issue an order to immediately arrest Bao Jinzhong and Liu Youhe, and hand them over to your subordinates for trial! Your subordinates will definitely do their best to find out the whole truth of the matter!"

Li Chengdao shook his head and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. It must be arrested, but it is justified. Now Bao Jiu Haikou can't say anything. Only with this account book, it is impossible to determine Bao Jinzhong and Liu Youhe." crime!"

When Bai Hu heard this, he nodded silently. Li Chengdao suddenly seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Qinglong, why haven't you seen Suzaku in the past few days? What has Suzaku been doing?"

"Your Majesty, Zhuque has been wandering around Chang'an City in the past few days, especially the river under the cliff behind the mountain behind Shenji Camp. Zhuque went there almost three or four times a day, trying to find Kong Yi. Miss’s clues!”

Hearing this, Li Chengdao's face was gloomy. He knew that Suzaku had been brooding about Kong Yi's disappearance, and blamed himself for not protecting Kong Yi well.

And since that night, Li Chengdao obviously felt that Zhuque's attitude towards him was not the same as before. Although Li Chengdao asked Suzaku many times, Suzaku always refused to answer directly.

Suzaku's injury has not healed yet, but Li Chengdao also knows that no matter who it is at this time, I am afraid there is no way to call Suzaku back. Thinking of this, Li Chengdao said: "Okay, Qinglong, Baihu, you Jin Yiwei will continue to investigate this matter. , don’t relax, and at the same time send more manpower to follow Zhuque to find the whereabouts of Miss Kong Yi!”

"The minister obeys the order!"

Qinglong and Baihu knelt down and saluted, and Li Chengdao continued: "Okay, Baihu, go get busy!"

Hearing this, Bai Hu turned his head and left the palace without saying a word. After Bai Hu left, he looked at Kong Ming and Qinglong, and Li Chengdao did not speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty!" Kong Ming said, "Do you have any guesses about the black hands behind Bao Jinzhong and others?"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao suddenly smiled and said, "Master Prime Minister is really powerful. Since you have already guessed my intention to keep the two of you, sir, you might as well guess again. Who is the black hand behind Bao Jinzhong and others?"

"Then the old minister is bold!" Kong Ming shook his feather fan lightly and said slowly: "Gunpowder is a prohibited item. No one except the military and the officials approved by the imperial court to make fireworks and firecrackers has the right to use it without authorization."

"The amount of gunpowder traded by Bao Jiuhai and Bao Jinzhong is not small. If such a large amount of gunpowder is used to make fireworks, no one would believe it!"

"So this gunpowder can only be used for one purpose, which is to fight! So if the trading partner of this gunpowder is not the Turkic people, it is some rebellious officials and thieves in the country who have a heart of disobedience!"

"And today, Lord Baihu said that Bao Jiuhai claimed that this person has a high position in the court. Apart from you, Your Majesty, the veteran can only think of one person!"

Kong Ming suddenly stopped talking, but the answer was already coming out.

"Qin King Li Shimin!"

Li Chengdao and Kong Ming said the name in unison.

Kong Ming continued to add: "Your Majesty, do you still remember being besieged in Dali Temple?"

"Of course, what? Sir, do you think these two things were done by the same person?"

Li Chengdao asked, and Kong Ming nodded and said: "If he wants to raise an army to rebel, he will need not only gunpowder, but also a large number of soldiers! The old minister believes that the people who besieged Dali Temple are his troops hidden in secret!"

Li Chengdao was expressionless, Kong Ming looked at him, and continued: "With your majesty's ingenuity, your majesty must know what the old minister can think of. It's just that your majesty is kind-hearted. His true intentions are clearly revealed, Your Majesty must never indulge him like this again!"

"Alas!" Li Chengdao sighed and said melancholy: "How could I not know? That day when he returned to the palace from Dali Temple, King Qin knelt in the palace. I had reminded him that at that time I had already guessed."

"Then Zhao Shengtai did his best for the King of Qin. He once squandered all his family wealth for him. He was very loyal. Zhao Shengtai has only one son in three generations. According to theory, he is contradicting me. But if the King of Qin comes forward to intercede, how can I not? Give him this face!"

Li Chengdao recalled what happened some time ago and continued: "However, King Qin not only did not plead for mercy, but instead ordered people to reject Zhao Shengtai outright, and also sent someone to come to inform him. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. If not, how could Zhao Shengtai die? People besieged Dali Temple? All this is just a plan of the King of Qin to kill people with a borrowed knife!"

"And that Kong Yunzhi! The person who incited Kong Yunzhi to make trouble in the examination room was from the Changsun family. The person who killed Kong Yunzhi was also a member of the Changsun family. The Changsun family and the King of Qin are relatives, so this matter must have nothing to do with the King of Qin!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing this, Kong Ming couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is aware of the details, but since His Majesty has already noticed it, why has he been forbearing until now and has not said anything?"

Hearing this, Li Chengdao sighed again: "Mr. doesn't know something, and it's all because of family affection!"

"Family?"

Seeing the confused expression on Kong Ming's face, Li Chengdao explained: "It is said that the royal family has no family ties. I have lost two close relatives now, and I don't want to lose two more!"

"two?"

Kong Ming was even more confused. If the matter was exposed, at most he would lose his relative, King Qin Li Shimin. How could Li Chengdao say there were two?
