Kuang Shulai was speechless for a while, he had never seen such a solemn expression on Cheng Yi's face, and he was a little flustered for a while.

"then you……"

After a long while, Kuang Shulai's suddenly dry voice sounded in the night wind.

Cheng Yi sneered and said proudly, "Me? What can I do?"

Kuang Shulai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Cheng Yi patted Kuang Shulai on the shoulder, with the files between his arms, he walked away from Dali Temple by the moonlight.

……

General's House.

Li Lizhi, who had been worried all day, finally brought her husband back.

Seeing Cheng Yi striding into the door, Li Lizhi rushed to meet him.

"Husband, how's it going? Brother Prince and Fourth Brother..."

Li Lizhi couldn't wait but was looking forward to Ai Ai, she didn't know how to ask this question.

Cheng Yi held Li Lizhi's hand, but felt a coldness in it.

"Although it's spring now, the cold spring has not yet passed. Are you not afraid of the wind and cold if you stand outside at night?"

Cheng Yi frowned, and looked at Li Lizhi worriedly.

"Whether the prince or the king of Wei, nothing will happen, you can rest assured."

Cheng Yi pulled Li Lizhi into the room together, and said slowly.

Hearing these words, Li Lizhi's heart was suspended for a whole day, and finally she finally calmed down.

"Mr. Lao is running around, I—"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi interrupted Li Lizhi's words, and said with affectionate eyes.

"We two, husband and wife, what are you talking about?"

As he spoke, Cheng Yi glanced at the stack of files on the table.

"Go ahead and rest, I have a few files to read, don't wait for me tonight."

After watching Li Lizhi rest, Cheng Yicai went to the study again.

The next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Cheng Yi went out to enter the palace.

He went through all the files last night and found that many of the records were vague, whether it was evidence or witnesses' testimony, there were obvious problems.

But even so, Li Chengqian was still convicted at the beginning, and because of this, there was another incident yesterday where King Wei framed and murdered the prince.

Right now, Li Shimin, who had just finished his early court, hadn't returned to the Tai Chi Hall yet, Cheng Yi abducted him to the Xuanzheng Hall again.

As the uncle of the two princes involved in the case, Changsun Wuji had already avoided suspicion, so the important task of presiding over the joint trial of the three divisions this time fell on Fang Xuanling's head.

It's just that this case affected so deeply that even Fang Xuanling was a little undecided for a while, so he had to go to the palace every day to ask Li Shimin for instructions.

In the Xuanzheng Palace at this time, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling sat and stood with one monarch and one minister, all with dignified expressions.

"How's the investigation going?"

Li Shimin asked with his eyes half closed.

Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin's expression, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it has been found out that His Highness the Crown Prince was indeed wronged in the case of 'privately making dragon robes'. Figure it out."

Li Shimin let out a breath slowly.

This time, no matter who was ultimately convicted of the treason case, Li Shimin did not want to see it.

It's a pity that although he is an emperor, he is still powerless in this matter.

"Your Majesty, Prince Shengming is asking to see you."

Just when the monarch and his subjects were full of boredom, the eunuch who was guarding outside the palace suddenly spoke.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Please!"

After a while, Cheng Yi walked into the Xuanzheng Hall with the dossier.

"I heard that you went to Dali Temple and the East Palace successively yesterday, but what did you find out?"

Li Shimin didn't have any extra greetings, and when he saw Cheng Yi coming in, he asked straight to the point.

If anyone could sniff out a trace of the truth in this muddy water at this time, except for Cheng Yi, Li Shimin would no longer think otherwise.

"Yesterday, I was in the East Palace and caught more than a dozen assassins who were planning to assassinate the crown prince."

Cheng Yi opened his mouth, and smashed Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, who knew nothing about yesterday's events, into a dizziness!

"what?!"

Li Shimin immediately attacked the case. He had already ordered heavy soldiers to guard the East Palace. Who on earth has such a great ability?How could he break into the East Palace to assassinate at such a juncture?

Afterwards, Cheng Yi told Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling all the things that happened in the East Palace yesterday in detail.

After listening to Cheng Yi's words, both the monarch and his subjects felt dizzy for a while.

"After catching the assassin, I personally interrogated him in Dali Temple, and the result really made me ask a shocking secret."

Cheng Yi said again.

Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling didn't have time to continue their dizziness, so they listened to Cheng Yi to continue.

"Those assassins have been in Wude for three years, and they were ordered by the real murderer behind the scenes to change their identities and go to the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Cheng Yi's voice was very gentle, but what he said sounded like thunder to the ears of the other two.

"After going to the prince's side, these people worked hard for several years, quietly gaining the trust of His Highness the prince.

Over the years, whether it is the intrigue with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, or the case of 'private dragon robes', these people have contributed to the flames. "

"The person behind the scenes..." Li Shimin's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that there would be so many people with evil intentions lurking beside Li Chengqian: "Who the hell are they!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yi first took a deep breath, and then spoke again.

"Yang."

As soon as this word came out, Fang Xuanling, who had been silent beside him, suddenly took a deep breath.

"The remnants of Sui and Yang!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said these four words.

The reason why he was poisoned last time was thanks to these people. Now that they saw that he was still alive, they dared to hit their son again!

It's his heart that can be punished!

"Although there is no evidence to prove it, I have reason to suspect that what His Royal Highness King Wei has done these years must have been hindered by these people."

Cheng Yi said again.

Fang Xuanling gasped louder.

He thought he had been wiped out, but he had been lurking beside the two most valued sons in the world for so many years.

Unheard of!

"even……"

As Cheng Yi said, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Shimin, whose face was as gloomy as water.

"The hideouts of the remnants of Sui and Yang are not limited to the East Palace and the Prince Wei's Mansion."

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened suddenly, he who had always been in front of the mountain collapsed and remained unchanged, finally couldn't control his expression anymore.

If so...

Fang Xuanling's heart turned a thousand times.

If King Sheng Ming hadn't suddenly entered the palace yesterday and smashed through those people to assassinate the Crown Prince, would they have pushed His Highness King Wei to kill His Highness the Crown Prince?

When the time comes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wei will die together, and the world of Tang Dynasty...

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to Cheng Yi, and couldn't help but think.

Thanks to the presence of King Ming!

If he hadn't appeared in time, the Tang Dynasty might really have changed!

Sensing Fang Xuanling's gaze, Cheng Yi turned his head and looked at him, and then showed a faint smile.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling's gratitude and admiration for Cheng Yi became more and more surging.

Chapter 145

"His Majesty."

After briefly looking at each other with Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yi spoke again.

"This matter is very involved. If we can't remove all the hidden stakes that the other party has planted among the princes, I'm afraid there will be more and more cases like 'privately making dragon robes' in the future."

Li Shimin took a few heavy breaths, finally calming down the burning anger in his stomach and heart.

"Investigate! I will investigate thoroughly this time!"

Li Shimin slapped the table heavily, and the ink in the inkstone immediately dyed the bright yellow on the table into pitch black.

Li Shimin stared intently at the blob of ink, and sat down again after a while.

"Cheng Yi," Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yi, and said in a deep voice, "I will leave this case to you."

Cheng Yi readily agreed: "The minister accepts the order."

From Cheng Yijin to Xuanzheng Palace to now, only a quarter of an hour has passed, but Li Shimin, who was slumped on the dragon chair, seemed to have aged 10 years.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Li Shimin like this, Cheng Yi finally said something worried.

"The remnants of Sui and Yang haven't been eradicated yet, Your Majesty has to take care of the dragon's body."

Li Shimin sighed deeply, and seemed a little unsustainable and said: "Don't worry, it's not time for me to fall down yet."
