I'm a marquis in Datang

After Xiao Li came back, he quietly stood aside, waiting for Li Yuan to deal with government affairs.

About half an hour later, a young eunuch entered and whispered a few words in Xiao Li's ear.Xiao Li waved his hand to let the little eunuch back down, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Li has indeed been sent back to the Chang'an County Government. Now, he is being held in prison for the time being, and Du Chuke has not been interrogated for the time being."

Li Yuan thought for a while, and then ordered: "Make arrangements. We will leave the palace in the evening and go to the cell. I want to meet Qin Li in person and see what he has to say."

"Yes!"

Xiao Li responded immediately.

...

Huai'an County Prince's Mansion.

in the library.

The expression on Li Shentong's face was very stern, and it even revealed that he hated iron for being weak.He had just received the news that Qin Li had been captured and had already been sent back to the Chang'an County Government.

This incident made Li Shentong quite passive.Even Li Shentong could imagine that the news had most likely been sent to the palace, and Li Yuan must have known about it.

Therefore, Li Shentong was a little panicked.

At this moment, the doorman of the study was pushed away, but the housekeeper entered and said, "My lord, the East Palace sent someone to send a message, please go to the East Palace immediately, and discuss something important."

"understood."

Li Shentong replied, changed his clothes, and went to the East Palace.Li Shentong doesn't need to guess, he can think that the reason why Li Jiancheng of the East Palace arranged for someone to deliver the letter is naturally for Qin Li's affairs.

Qin Li's news cannot be concealed.

Surely many people know.

After Li Shentong arrived at the East Palace, he went straight into the study room. Seeing Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng, he sat down and said: "The crown prince summoned the old minister, what's the matter?"

Li Jiancheng said: "Uncle Wang, the reason why I invited you here is for Qin Li's affairs. Qin Li followed your order to block the construction of the road. Now, he was captured by Du Qi who was patrolling the area and sent back to Chang'an County Ya."

"Du Chuke is Du Qi's uncle, and Du Chuke is a member of Prince Qin's residence. Once Du Chuke interrogates Qin Li, Qin Li will definitely confess to Uncle Wang. Although this incident does not affect the Crown Prince, it can affect Uncle Wang. Bad."

"The crown prince's idea is to hope that Uncle Wang can solve this matter and prevent Uncle Wang from being affected."

Li Jiancheng looked like he was thinking about Li Shentong.

Li Shen said: "It's not easy, the only way I can think of is to

When His Majesty wanted to question me, I said I was not angry with Du Qi for refusing my granddaughter's marriage.In this way, it is the personal anger between me and Du Qi.Even if His Majesty gets angry, he won't think too much about it.Then this matter will be over. "

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Ginger is old and hot, so Uncle Wang's consideration is no problem."

Li Shentong stroked his beard and smiled, quite pleased with himself.

Li Jiancheng continued: "However, I don't think it's appropriate to do so simply. Because even if Uncle Wang denies it, the father is like a mirror after all, and he must have thought about it."

Li Shen said: "What can the prince do?"

Li Jiancheng said: "I think the best way is to get rid of Qin Li once and for all. As long as Qin Li dies, everything will cease and the clues will be cut off."

"At that time, Du Chuke will not be able to interrogate anything, and there will be no way to verify everything."

"This is the result of the discussion between the prince and Xuan Cheng."

"Although Xuan Cheng's suggestion is to make Qin Li grit his teeth and not confess the matter. However, the prince believes that only the dead can't speak, and only the dead are the safest .”

"My idea is to let Qin Li die suddenly."

Li Jiancheng talked eloquently, and continued: "After Qin Li's sudden death, my father's love for Uncle Wang went, and Uncle Wang refused to admit it, and said that the reason why Qin Li was arranged to go was for revenge.

Let's talk about Du Qi.Then, everything is safe. "

After hearing this, Li Shentong narrowed his eyes and pondered carefully.

Li Jiancheng's plan sounds good.But after thinking about it carefully, there are also some inappropriate places. Killing Qin Li will make the emperor even more suspicious, but Li Jiancheng's plan also has a certain reason.

Once Qin Li reveals any secret, it will be extremely unfavorable to Li Shentong.

In this matter, it can only be the lesser of two evils, and the only choice is to kill Qin Li once and for all.Even if there are many flaws, it will not affect the overall situation.

Li Shentong nodded and said, "I understand the prince's suggestion. From now on, I will act according to this plan. I will arrange people to sneak into the cell of the county government and kill Qin Li."

Li Jiancheng said: "This is the best."

There was a bright smile on his face. In fact, the biggest reason why Li Jiancheng decided to adopt this plan was because Li Jiancheng was always worried that he would be involved after Qin Li made a confession.

At that time, he will be reprimanded again.

Definitely hard to get out of.

Killing Qin Li is the safest way. Although there is a certain risk for Li Shentong, it is beneficial to Li Jiancheng. This is Li Jiancheng's real purpose.

Li Shentong didn't say much, discussed with Li Jiancheng about blocking the road construction, and left in a hurry.Next, Li Shentong had to arrange for someone to kill Qin Li. He needed to make careful arrangements, so he had to rush back as soon as possible.

After Li Shentong left, Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "Xuancheng, you see, Uncle Wang is quite easy to talk to, he agreed to my request. Now, our East Palace can rest easy."

Wei Zheng said: "The prince is wise!"

He actually didn't agree with Li Jiancheng's approach.It is not a good habit to throw out the people below as soon as something happens.Previously, Li Jiancheng directly regarded Wang Yan as an abandoned son because of the academy.

Now that the road construction happened, Li Jiancheng regarded Qin Li as an abandoned son, and of course Li Shentong did the same to a certain extent, which Wei Zheng didn't quite agree with.

Li Jiancheng made a decision, and Wei Zheng could only follow Li Jiancheng's arrangement.

Chapter 526

Visiting prison

In the evening, the sky is getting dark.

The weather in April is getting warmer and warmer, especially when the sun sets in the west, and the entire western sky is rendered red by the afterglow of the setting sun.At this time, a carriage quietly left the palace.

In the carriage were Li Yuan and Xiao Li.

Li Yuan is going to see Qin Li.

He wanted to ask himself what was going on.Although Du Qishang played about Qin Li's affairs, his ears were in vain.

Seeing is believing, what happened will only be known after the interrogation.

The carriage went straight to the cell of Chang'an County Yamen, because Xiao Li had already arranged it. After the person who opened the way showed his identity, Li Yuan went straight in and went to Qin Li's cell.

It's just that the person who led the way came to the outside of Qin Li's cell, but found that the cell was empty.
