Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

But at this moment, Li Xiao found Qisha stretched into his arms, bulging like something.

As soon as he reached out, he caught a hard object in Qi Sha's hand.

Li Xiao's eyes were thoughtful, and he turned his wrist, and he hid the hard object in his sleeve, and no one found it.

After finishing all this, Li Xiao got up slowly, turned his head to look at Fang Xuanling quietly, and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Mr. Fang come?"

"Your Majesty rushed over non-stop after receiving the tip-off. I didn't expect it to be too late. Fortunately, Your Highness is fine." Fang Xuanling said respectfully.

Although he was an official to the Zhongshu Ling, he was among the three princes and the largest official.

But Li Xiao is a prince, the highest title, under normal circumstances, he still has to maintain etiquette.

"How dare you bother Mr. Fang with a trivial matter, I can handle it myself."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he turned to his guards and said, "Come here! Take the body back!"

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Fang Xuanling frowned slightly, "The assassination here is of great importance, and it happened in Wubenfang. I have a duty to investigate, otherwise I will not be able to explain to Your Majesty."

"What does this have to do with Wubenfang?"

Li Xiao stared at Fang Xuanling, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Your Highness." Li Junxian on the side suddenly whispered, "Master Fang's mansion is in Wubenfang, only a few miles away from here."

"I see."

Li Xiao's eyes were thoughtful, and then he said: "Since Mr. Fang is familiar with Wubenfang, then I will leave this case to my lord, and I hope you will find out the truth!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, one of Fang Xuanling's subordinates came over and reported: "My lord, I have checked the surrounding area, and there is no suspicious person."

"Yes, I see." Fang Xuanling waved back the people.

But when Li Xiao saw Fang Xuanling's subordinate, his eyes shrank, but he soon returned to normal, and casually asked Fang Xuanling, "Who is that?"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's face was full of doubts, but he still replied: "This person's name is Xiang Jun, and he is the commander of the personal guards in the lower government. Why does Your Highness ask such a question?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just think it looks familiar, but I've never heard of this name before." Li Xiao laughed.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiao led the people around and walked outside.

It's just that there is a cold light in his eyes.

This is Xiang Jun, he has seen it before.

It happened that Xiang Jun was among the juggling Xiang clan in the Fengyu Tower before.

If he didn't have the ability of photographic memory, he might have completely forgotten about this person.

After leaving the yard and coming to the street, Li Junxian saw that something was wrong with Li Xiao, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, what did you find?"

"Go back and talk."

Li Xiao looked back at Fang Xuanling, his eyes thoughtful.

"Your Highness, what should I say after I go back?" Lu Li also came over to ask at this time.

"I must not reveal what I did!" Li Xiao looked serious, "Also, the power of the divine arm crossbow must also be concealed!"

"The subordinate officer knows."

Lu Li nodded and left.

After Li Xiao led the people away, Fang Xuanling was always frowning. He looked at the direction Li Xiao left, and suddenly shouted: "Xiang Jun!"

"The subordinate is here!" Xiang Jun immediately came over to wait for orders.

"Have you met His Highness the King of Yue before?" Fang Xuanling asked, frowning.

Hearing this, Xiang Jun's face was a little serious, and then he leaned into Fang Xuanling's ear and whispered a few words.

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling's complexion changed, and he murmured: "It's broken!"

"Why did your lord say that?" Xiang Jun was puzzled.

"With King Yue's intelligence, he must have doubts about me!"

Fang Xuanling was preoccupied and his face was ugly.

……

Li Xiao returned to the courtyard in Prince Qin's Mansion and asked Li Junxian to guard the door.

And he took out an object from his arms.

This is a token, which was quietly taken from Seven Kills before.

Picking it up, Li Xiao saw the word "house" engraved on it.

Chapter 50: The Enraged Li Er

There was only Li Xiao in the room.

His face was as gloomy as water.

It's hard to believe, but all the clues point to one person——

Fang Xuanling.

He had to accept this fact.

But why did Fang Xuanling want to kill him?

Li Xiao searched for the memory of Fang Xuanling in his mind.

This man is clever, savvy, and strategizing. He originally joined the army for Tiance Mansion.

But in the change of Xuanwumen, he had the merit of establishing the country. After his father ascended the throne, he became an official to Zhongshuling and became the Duke of Xingguo.

He is one of the most powerful people in the entire capital.

It can be said that it is almost under one person and above ten thousand people.

Even if he is the king of Yue, he can't compare with it.

Because the prince is only a title and has no real power.

And Fang Xuanling, as the head of the hundred officials, commanded the entire court.

Such a person, why should he target himself?

What good would it do Fang Xuanling to kill himself?

Could it be that Fang Xuanling secretly communicated with one of his older brothers for the song?

Or……

Because of the military power of the Li family?

The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more confused he became.

He always felt that he had overlooked some key information, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

……

Royal study.

After Li Er heard the news of Li Xiao's assassination, he was furious and issued several imperial edicts, summoning many court officials.

Zhongshu Ling Fang Xuanling, Yushi Dafu Wei Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Sun Wuji, Minister of the Ministry of War Du Ruhui, Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other confidant ministers.

In addition, Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Ke and other senior princes were also summoned.

"Son/Weichen, see Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Everyone's face is very serious.

They also more or less knew about Li Xiao's assassination on the way here.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still people who dare to assassinate the King of Yue.

They knew without guessing that His Majesty might not be in a good mood.

"Humph!"

Li Er glanced around the group of officials with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

"Under my nose, assassinate King Yue?"

"Could it be that one day I block your way and want to assassinate me?!"

Li Er's roar sounded in the imperial study.

The others were kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.

"how?"

Li Er glanced over everyone again, and said playfully: "Dare to do it or not? Whose idea, I will give you one last chance to confess."

However, the officials were still silent.

"it is good!"

Li Er laughed anxiously, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted, "Fang Xuanling, tell me!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling responded immediately, and continued: "Your Majesty, it has been found out that the assassins were a man and a woman, and there were 48 subordinates, all of whom were Han Chinese. The origin is unknown and it is difficult to trace. Besides, there is an important discovery , the crossbow used by the assassin is the ordnance Lianzhu crossbow."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xuanling lowered his head again.

And the others all moved their eyes, thoughtful.

"Du Ruhui, did you hear that?"

Li Er was expressionless, squinting down.

Du Ruhui's mind tightened for a moment, and he quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, the loss of ordnance is my negligence, and I will definitely make up for it. Check it out and find out!"

"Your Majesty, we have checked and found that the ordnance came from Lin Zhong, General of the City Guard Division." Fang Xuanling said suddenly.

"Has anyone been arrested? Has there been a confession?" Du Ruhui asked nervously.

Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly: "When the minister led people to rush, there were 97 people in the Lin residence, all of whom were killed."

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

This means that the clues are gone, so in His Majesty's eyes, all of them are suspects.

After all, to have the power to obtain ordnance must be in a high position.

"Chengqian!"

Li Er suddenly stared at Li Chengqian with suspicion in his eyes.

"Father!" Li Chengqian kowtowed first, then raised his head, and said with a heavy face: "It can't be a minister, there are three reasons."

After a pause, Li Chengqian continued: "First of all, everyone knows that the position of crown prince is vacant, and the only people who are expected to take this position are Xiaodi and Erchen. If something happens to Erchen and Xiaodi, the other will be a big deal. The person who is the most suspicious, I only hope that Brother Xiao is safe and sound, how could he secretly harm him? Wouldn't this be harming myself?"

"Furthermore, Brother Xiao and I are very close, and it's too late to pet and love him, so how could I have the heart to hurt him?"

"The last point, with my son's ability, I simply can't afford to support such top assassins, nor can I get armaments."

Li Chengqian's words were clearly organized, and many ministers nodded after hearing them.

"According to what you mean, then someone deliberately framed it?" Li Er asked.

"I have no such intention. Before the truth is found out, I dare not doubt anyone." Li Chengqian said respectfully.

At this time, Li Tai next to him was in a bad mood. If someone framed him, then he and Li Ke would be the most suspected.

Although he was anxious in his heart, seeing Li Ke's appearance as stable as Mount Tai, Li Tai felt a lot more at ease.

"Hmph!" Li Er snorted coldly, "It seems that you are all innocent?"

"I don't care if it's one of you or not, but I advise you..."

"In everything, there must be principles and bottom lines!"

"Some of you have had a lifetime of friendship with me, and some of you have followed me all your life. You are all my confidantes. I don't want to put you in prison with my own hands one day."

"Well done!"

"Get out of here!"
