Li Shen's mind is a little confused now. He is not a smart person. He is actually just an ordinary person.

The intrigues in officialdom are only seen in movies and television.

The only reason he has managed to get to this point is that he has the advanced thinking of a modern person and he is a prince.

A bystander sees things more clearly than a participant. Li Shen is now a participant.

Li Tai's words had some impact on him.

Li Tai was right. Although he had a close relationship with the prince, the prince did have reasons to harm him.

And the reasons are very sufficient, a hundred times more sufficient than those of Li Zhi and Li Tai.

The greatest benefit in this world is to be an emperor and rule the world.

I am now the strongest contender for the throne.

He had both the strength and financial resources, and was favored by Li Shimin.

It can be said that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Just when Li Shen was in a daze, Wang Xuance's repeated calls interrupted Li Shen's thoughts.

"Xuan Ce, Lao Wang, Ren Gui, do you think it could be..."

At this point, Li Shen stopped abruptly. He believed that all three of them understood.

The three of them looked at each other, and Wang Hongfu was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, I am just a merchant and do not understand the affairs of the court, but I do know a little.

In business competition, the more obvious a competitor's hint is, the more likely it is that there is something fishy going on.

Just like how we cheated those nobles over the years, what we said was actually true, but we just didn't say all of it.

Therefore, I think that the King of Wei had no good intentions in coming to speak to the prince today. "

Wang Hongfu's words surprised the people present, and Li Shen looked at him with admiration.

I didn't expect that these words were actually said by Wang Hongfu.

"Your Majesty, I think what Shopkeeper Wang said is very true. What happened today is quite strange. The King of Wei came to see you for no reason.

He also specifically mentioned matters concerning the Northwest, so there must be some other hidden story behind this.

I think the King of Wei knows too much, which is very suspicious."

Xue Rengui stood up and saluted. He also felt that this matter was not simple. Why did the King of Wei know such inside information?

"Are you saying that the person behind this is the King of Wei?"

Li Shen asked curiously.

It's not like he hadn't thought about this possibility, but Li Tai has been very stable in recent years and hasn't done anything.

He also did not have close contacts with aristocratic families or court officials.

The caravans from the Prince of Wei's Palace were also under Li Shen's surveillance and did not do anything unusual.

“Your Highness, this is not impossible. Sima Xue is right. The King of Wei seems to know too much.

Wang Wencheng was able to do evil in Xizhou for so many years, so he must have made a perfect plan. How could such a thing be known by a steward in the Prince of Wei's palace?

And how did the King of Wei know that the team was robbed and killed along the way?

Since he asked the prince, it means that he knew that his last words were meaningful and were deliberately said for the prince to hear.

I suspect he wants to destroy the relationship between the prince and the crown prince."

Finally, Wang Xuance stood up and made a summary. He was Li Shen’s think tank.

"Hmm..." Li Shen touched his chin and thought about what the three people said. He felt that he had indeed fallen into Li Tai's trap.

The main reason was that he was too cautious. The only two people he cared about were Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.

They concern their own life and death, and also the continuation of their own bloodline.

"You are right. I was confused by the situation and was tricked by that bastard Li Tai.

In fact, I also know that he has no good intentions in coming here today.

It’s just that what he said made some sense, and I thought too much about it.”

Li Shen finally nodded.

"Your Highness, don't worry about it. What the King of Wei said is not wrong. The Crown Prince does have the ability.

But this doesn't make sense.

The King of Wei only told half the truth. He told the prince the bad side, but he did not tell him the good side.

Deliberately lead the prince to think the worst."

Wang Xuance tried to comfort him. He didn't want Prince Ji to think too much and cause him more trouble.

"This bastard actually plotted against me. I wanted to get some words out of him at first.

I didn't expect to be tricked by him.

By the way, when I asked him if it was the King of Jin who did this, his eyes wandered and he forced a smile.

You guys tell me whether it is true or false. "

Li Shen scolded Li Tai, and then remembered Li Tai's behavior when he asked him the question.

At that time, Li Tai laughed and said that it was not Li Zhi's doing.

"This... true or false, real or fake, I don't know, but I think the King of Wei might be related to this matter."

The three of them shook their heads, and Wang Xuance stood up and replied.

"Well, continue to keep an eye on Prince Wei's palace and his caravan. I don't believe he will keep his hand clear.

As long as I can confirm that it is related to him, I will kill him."

Li Shen said this viciously, still feeling aggrieved about being tricked by Li Tai today.

"Yes, I have already arranged some personnel, but the people below reported that they seemed to have been discovered."

Wang Xuance accepted the order.

“It’s normal to be discovered. The Prince of Wei’s Mansion occupies an entire block of land, and it would be easy to be discovered if a stranger appeared.

Just like Prince Ji's Mansion, the entire Qinrenfang belongs to me. If a stranger passes by this street, he must be arrested and interrogated.

But it doesn’t matter. Tell the people below that if they are caught, they should report the name of Prince Jin’s Mansion.

This king will ensure that his family will be rich and prosperous for three generations."

The intelligence personnel of Prince Ji's Mansion were all selected from the idle people in society. They made friends with all kinds of people.

Not only have they been in Chang'an City for many years, some of them are also small leaders of underground forces.

In Li Shen's words, he is a bully.

It is impossible for a large-scale evil force to appear in Chang'an City, unless it was formed by some playboy.

If the evil forces had no backing, they would have been killed by Chang'an's gang of playboys long ago.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Their families have been properly settled in the imperial farm and have been allocated land.

Children can attend school free of charge.

They know what to do.”

Wang Xuance nodded.

At this time Wang Hongfu stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I think we should train some assassins. Some aristocratic families and some noble families are secretly training assassins.

We have never had it in the Ji Wang Mansion.

We now have several orphanages with many children who are not as good as us..."

"Rengui, take Wang Hongfu out and beat him to death."

Before Wang Hongfu finished speaking, Li Shen called out to Xue Rengui calmly.

Xue Rengui smiled and went to pull Wang Hongfu.

Wang Hongfu was so frightened that he immediately bowed and apologized:

"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

"Hmph, what did you do wrong?" Li Shen snorted and looked at Wang Hongfu coldly.

"I...I shouldn't have mentioned the matter of the dead soldiers. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy."

Wang Hongfu thought for a while and said.

(In fact, sometimes people get stuck in a certain thought and it’s hard to extricate themselves. This has nothing to do with whether one is smart or not.

Not long ago, a friend's wife was defrauded of 50,000 yuan via telephone scam.

My husband and relatives can’t persuade me no matter what. She is still a civil servant and a graduate student.)
