I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Just when Xi Bian wanted to take Li Dabian away, someone from the crowd watching the excitement suddenly made a noise, which made Xi Bian a little angry.

"Who, who is talking nonsense and disturbing the court? Stand up for me."

Xi Bian stood up and yelled outside.

There were many people outside, looking around and around. No one saw who exactly spoke just now.

But what he said does make sense. Since there are witnesses and material evidence, why doesn't the governor try the case in court?

And they all heard that behind Li Dabian was Governor Xi. Otherwise, how could Li Dabian, a small ninth-rank official, dare to run rampant in Cangzhou.

You must know that there are many counties in Cangzhou. The magistrate of a county is the seventh rank, and the county magistrate is still the eighth rank. Which one is not greater than Li Dabian.

For a while, the people watching began to talk among themselves.

Seeing this situation, Xi Bian frowned. The words of the person who just spoke made him, who was still in control of the situation, a little passive.

There were many merchants passing by from other places in the crowd. If these people went to other places to spread rumors, not to mention someone exposing him, even if the news reached Chang'an, he would be impeached by the censor.

"Quiet, no noise is allowed in the court." Xi Bian yelled. After the people quieted down, his voice became softer and continued:

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. The imperial court has its laws and regulations, and everything must be strictly and carefully verified.

Especially such serious crimes are rare in our Cangzhou Prefecture.

Of course, I will enforce the law impartially and severely punish the perpetrators. I will never let a person who commits heinous crimes go free. "

Xi Bian's voice was amiable and extremely sincere, and many people believed it in their hearts.

After all, Xi Bian had never done anything to oppress the people.

"Then let Li Dabian be tried in public in front of the people first, so that everyone can see the sincerity of Governor Xi."

Xi Bian did not expect that this voice came out again after he finished speaking, which made him very angry.

"Come here, find the people who disturbed the court. I will punish them." More than a dozen government officials rushed into the crowd. They were actually paying attention to this area.

Just when the man spoke, they locked the general position.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Then there were more than a dozen muffled sounds, and Xi Bian saw a dozen of his yamen servants being thrown out of the crowd and falling to the ground groaning.

"You are so bold that you dare to attack government officials, despise the court, and intend to rebel. Someone will come and capture it for me."

Seeing this, Xi Bian was furious and immediately shouted.

Dozens of good government officials wanted to rush forward.

"Be brave, King Ji is here. Anyone who dares to make a mistake will be killed without mercy."

Before anyone could rush forward, a loud roar like a bell was heard.

Dozens of government officials and husbands immediately stopped and stood there, and even Xi Bian was startled by the loud shout.

"King Ji?"

King Ji's famous name Xi Bian has long been heard. Rumors say that he has wealth that rivals the country's and that he has the ability to turn waste into treasure.

Most importantly, he also knew that Prince Ji was cunning, ruthless, and scheming. He was best at stabbing people in the back and never had a direct conflict.

Many officials in the imperial court did not dare to offend King Ji.

Xi Bian quickly stood up and walked down the court to the main door.

At this moment, Li Shen walked in surrounded by guards.

Xue Rengui made a gesture, and the 200 guards spread out in all directions, occupying favorable positions, even on the wall.

Each person holds a hand crossbow in his left hand and puts his right hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, always ready to draw the knife.

Seeing this scene, Xi Bian was even more convinced that it must be King Ji, and he couldn't be fake.

If the prince hadn't come here, there would have been no such precautions.

Just the equipment for 200 people cannot be made by ordinary wealthy businessmen.

However, Xi Bian followed the rules and bowed to Li Shen first:

"May I ask who is His Highness Prince Ji?"

Without Li Shen's need to answer, Shitou took out Li Shen's badge and seal and showed it to Xi Bian.

Xi Bian looked at it carefully for a while, confirmed that the badge and seal were genuine, and then said respectfully:

"Xi Bian, the governor of Cangzhou, meets His Highness Prince Ji."

"Um"

Li Shen nodded and walked towards the lobby with his hands behind his back. When he came to the lobby, Li Shen did not sit at the main seat, but stood at the subordinate seat.

Tieniu immediately took out a folding chair and put it down. Li Shen sat down naturally and said:

"President Xi, I passed by here just in time to catch up with Prefect Xi's trial. I have never seen a trial before, so I came in to see the excitement.

I just want to take a look and will not disturb you. Governor Xi can continue. "

Li Shen's words made Xi Bian break into a cold sweat. He had concluded that the person who just spoke was this young prince.

It seems that it is impossible not to try Li Dabian today.

Xi Bian turned his head and took a deep look at Li Dabian, his eyes full of anger. Li Dabian saw murderous intent and warning in Xi Bian's eyes, warning him not to talk nonsense.

Then Xi Bian strode to his seat and sat down.

"Come here, take away what Li Dabian said."

The yamen officer stepped forward to remove the thing from Li Dabian's mouth, and then heard Xi Bian ask:

"Li Dabian, Xie Zhi'an is suing you for taking people to his house last night to kill people and steal goods, and to wash out Xie's house with blood. Is this relevant?"

He was ready for Li Dadian to retort that he didn't, and then he could say that he needed to verify it, but he didn't expect that Li Dadian glanced at him, then looked at Li Shen sitting next to him, nodded and said:

"Replying to the governor, this is indeed the case."

"Huh?" Xi Bian was stunned, but soon he saw Li Dabian looking at Li Shen, and then saw Li Shen looking at Li Dabian with a smile.

Xi Bian suddenly realized that Li Dabian was not captured by Xie Zhi'an, but probably by King Ji.

When I thought about this, I immediately understood in my mind how the guards of the Xie family could be the opponents of Li Dabian and the others, and how could Xie Zhian capture Li Dabian and dozens of others.

"Bold, Li Dabian, you actually dare to kill people and buy goods. You are violating the law. Someone will send Li Dabian to death row and confiscate his family property. After I report it to the Ministry of Punishment, I will kill him in the future."

Xi Bian did not hesitate. Hesitation at this time was cruel to himself.

"Prince, spare your life, spare your life." Li Dabian cried.

"Wait a minute~~" Li Shen suddenly interrupted.

"I wonder what else your Highness Prince Ji has to do?" Xi Bian was shocked when he heard Li Shen's words.

"Nothing. I heard that Li Dabian is very powerful in Cangzhou Prefecture. He plunders and bribes many people. I am just curious. He is just a ninth-grade official.

Why is there such a great ability to stir up complaints among the people of Cangzhou?

Could there be someone behind this secretly supporting, protecting and covering up his crimes? "

Li Shen slowly stood up and walked slowly to Li Dabian. Looking at Li Dabian kneeling on the ground, Li Shen said in a condescending voice with a hint of temptation:

"Li Dabian, I know that there must be people behind you and are protecting you secretly. As long as you tell these people, I promise to spare your life. What do you think?"
