Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 107 Design
In the early morning, Hou Jun gathered in the mansion.

A servant dressed in sackcloth and mourning knocked on the door of Hou Junji's mansion.

Just happened to meet Cai Yun, a guest at Hou Junji's mansion.

"Mr. Cai..." Pei Quan, a servant in Pei Ji's family, had met Cai Yun several times.

Cai Yun looked at Pei Quan, who was hunched over and wearing a coarse linen robe. He frowned subconsciously, walked out of the door with a solemn face, and asked cautiously: "Steward Pei, what are you..."

Pei Quan quickly knelt down on the ground with a sad face, bowed to Cai Yun, then stood up, choked up and uttered a very hoarse voice: "Pei Xiang...Pei Xiang... is gone, I left last night, today Early in the morning, the eldest son asked the old man to invite the general to go to Pei's mansion to see off Prime Minister Pei..."

"What? Prime Minister Pei left?" Cai Yun's eyes widened in shock, in disbelief.

Pei Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands towards Cai Yun: "This matter is not a joke, I hope Mr. Cai will bring this matter to you."

"Hey... Butler Pei's condolences... General Hou drank late into the night last night, and he hasn't woken up yet. I will definitely bring this matter to you later." Cai Yun and the butler said a few more polite words, and then hurried to Hou Junji's dormitory the door.

In the bedroom, Hou Junji was lying on his side in front of the window, his eyes wide open, his mind was full of the news that Cheng Yaojin said last night that Li Ze was the eldest son of the emperor.

"Emperor's eldest son Li Ze...Emperor's eldest son Li Ze..."

"How could this be?"

Hou Junji gritted his teeth tightly, as if he had Li Ze stuffed in his mouth and wanted to cut him in half with his teeth.

The blood vessels on his forehead also swelled up due to Hou Junji's anger, which looked terrifying.

"Who!" Realizing that someone was passing by outside his window, Hou Junji jumped up from the bed, and pulled out the sword hanging beside the bed. The tip of the sword was shining with cold light, and pointed directly at the black shadow outside the window.

"Back to General, it's me, Cai Yun."

A vague but very familiar voice to Hou Junji came from outside the door.

"Huh—" Hou Junji put back the sword, rubbed the center of his eyebrows and temples, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Come in..." Hou Junji replied weakly, then continued to sit on the edge of the bed, with his head hanging down that felt very heavy from the hangover.

Cai Yun looked at Hou Junji, who was looking a little pale beside the bed, and immediately said, "General, haven't you had a good rest?"

"I have something to say... I don't think you are here to greet me." Hou Junji held his forehead while squinting at Cai Yun.

Cai Yun curled his lips slightly and said, "Pei Ji is dead!"

Hou Junji's eyes widened in disbelief, and he repeated Cai Yun's words: "What? Pei Ji died?"

As soon as the words fell, Hou Junji jumped off the bed immediately. The death of the prime minister is a major event, and he didn't know it?

"How did you die? When? Why did you die?" Countless questions suddenly popped up in Hou Junji's mind. The death of a prime minister is a major event, and he actually needs a reminder from his disciples?

"Could it be..." Hou Junji suddenly thought that not long ago, Pei Ji's two sons went to court, and he didn't think much about it at the time, but thinking about it now... it seems that Pei Ji was sick?
Seeing that Hou Junji looked very confused, Cai Yun quickly raised his hands and said, "Just now the housekeeper of the Pei family came to see me and said that he left last night and that he would come this morning to invite someone to see him off..."

"In my opinion... I'm afraid there is something hidden in it. I heard that Pei Ji and Li Ze were also very at odds. When the smallpox broke out not long ago, His Majesty asked the courtiers to donate, but Pei Ji lent His Majesty 30 taels of silver. In the end, it was announced on the imperial list, and it was rumored in the court that this matter was Li Ze's plan."

"Later, Li Er didn't know where to get the method of making refined salt. Like everyone else, the Pei family hoarded a lot of coarse salt, which cost a lot of money. Now all the coarse salt on the market has been taken away by dozens of taels. Later, Pei Ji fell ill because of it..."

Hou Junji asked the maids to help him get dressed, and looked at Cai Yun suspiciously.

"What? According to you, Pei Ji also wants to deal with Li Ze?" Hou Junji frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully.

Cai Yun nodded again and again: "Even if Pei Ji doesn't clean up, his two sons, especially Pei Xiu, will definitely want to clean up Li Ze. The funeral banquet was held in such a hurry, it is very likely that the funeral banquet was used as an excuse to win over Li Ze. family, especially those who dislike Li Ze, so that they can join forces to deal with Li Ze."

"You mean, I'm going to the banquet right now?" Hou Junji raised his eyebrows, he was so busy with military training, how could he have time to go to the banquet?

What's more, I haven't fully sobered up from yesterday's wine, and I haven't found the most perfect way to deal with Li Ze's big trouble right now.

eat?How can it be eaten?
"The villain doesn't mean that." Cai Yun smiled slightly: "Right now, these are all speculations of the villain. Now that the big battle is imminent, the General Hou is probably at his wits end, so it is better for the villain to go to the banquet instead of the General Hou and find out Who are the people who joined forces this time?"

"As for the general, there is actually a better way to deal with Li Ze."

Cai Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a shrewd and sinister light, Hou Junji hurried forward and asked very curiously: "What method?"

"Assassination!"

Cai Yun pointed at the sword and made a beheading motion on his neck, then continued: "Since Li Ze is the eldest son of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely send a large number of cronies to protect him secretly, especially when Li Ze first entered the palace. At that time, Li Er immediately gave Li Ze a house on Zhuque Avenue. What does this mean?"

"Next to the house on Suzaku Avenue, that is, Li Ze's neighbor, is Chang'an County Magistrate Zhao Shengqing! Moreover, Li Er often let several generals get very close to Li Ze, obviously intending to let them protect Li Ze. "

"It can be seen from this that there must be a large number of people around Li Ze secretly protecting him, but the current battle is just around the corner, and when Li Ze's manpower is loose, the killers under General Hou's sect don't need to wait any longer?"

Jin in Cai Yun's gaze was full of coldness and cruelty, wishing he could kill Li Ze immediately.

As the saying goes, a person can ascend to heaven if he attains enlightenment. Not to mention becoming a prime minister, if Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he would be satisfied even if he was a fourth- or fifth-rank official.

Moreover, the daughter of Hou Junji and the baby relative of Prince Li Chengqian were all planned by Cai Yun.

But now that the eldest prince has been killed halfway, Cai Yun is even more anxious than Hou Junji.

After Hou Junji heard Cai Yun's strategy, his mouth opened slightly as if the sky was clear after the rain, his teeth were shaking in shock.

"Good! Good! Good! Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai! It's you!" Hou Junji was immediately excited and nodded repeatedly.

"I'm going to find someone to follow and try to get rid of this stumbling block as soon as possible! Hou Junji's eyes also shot a fierce look.

The two left the mansion separately, Cai Gong took the gift and stepped on the carriage to Pei's mansion, and Hou Junji went to a small house in a certain square in Chenzhong, Chang'an.

"General Hou!" Seeing Hou Junji coming, several very strong shirtless men put down their work and stood in a row.

People in number one hundred had muscular bodies, and their bodies were covered with knife scars. This group of people were all dead men trained by Hou Junji himself.

At this time, one person carried a tray and walked towards the crowd, and saw that the toban was full of tooth-sized white particles, and these particles were filled with arsenic.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a short time; today is the time to use you, take them well. After the incident is completed, the six thousand guns of the dead will be handed over to your family, and the three thousand guns of the living will be handed over to yourselves."

As he said that, Hou Junji took out a portrait from his arms, and the person on the portrait was somewhat similar to the current emperor at first glance.

"This man's surname is Li Mingze. He often lives on Zhuque Street. He rides two carriages. He is the Marquis of Chang'an County, who was the admonishing official at the time. He often passes through Zhuque Avenue to find good opportunities...!" Hou Junji held Li Ze's portrait in one hand. With a fierce look in his eyes, he put his other hand on his neck and pointed it as a sword, and slashed hard.
