NOVEL NEXT Chapter 78 Check
Because Li Xiang was assassinated, everyone found a ruined temple nearby, and stayed inside for about two cups of tea. A large group of people came outside, and Li Xiang set off again.
"Any news?"
When they arrived at the East Palace, Li Xiang found that Shu Er was already waiting here. They were responsible for collecting information. If it wasn't particularly important information, they probably wouldn't be here.
"Back to Your Highness, we found out that the material used to make arrows is Phoenix tail bamboo. This kind of bamboo can grow to six meters or even ten meters. It mainly grows in the southeastern coastal areas. It is expensive to transport to Chang'an, but because of its hard texture, Therefore, only wealthy families can afford it. According to our suspects, there are a total of six suspicious families..."
Although no one was arrested at the time, the people Li Xiang redeemed from the system were not ordinary people. Naturally, they knew how to ask for evidence from the objects. Even if it was just a little bit of stuff, we could use this as a clue and slowly find it. This is something people of this era don't have.
Li Xiang took the piece of paper and looked at the six powerful people on it. None of them had any issues with him. There were even some people who had a good relationship with him, such as Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin.
"Where's the arrow?"
"Your Highness, the arrowheads are made of copper. We haven't found any clues. There are too many people in Chang'an City who use copper arrowheads."
Shu Er said a little guiltily.
Although horse hoof prints were still collected, after a few hundred meters, the horse hoof prints were eliminated. It was obvious that someone was taking care of them, and this was the most common Longxi horse, which was abundant in Chang'an City.
"Has the personnel investigated it?"
Li Xiang learned from the report just now that there are not many people who can do this. If there is someone who does not have an alibi, then there is also a suspect.
"Your Highness, there are no more than ten people with this ability in Chang'an City. We have inquired about them one by one, and everyone can prove that they did not leave the city in the afternoon."
After hearing this, Li Xiang knew that it was impossible to detect this matter. There were fifty people across the country who had such ability. If these ten people were all in Chang'an City, it meant that the other forty people had it. Perhaps, the other fifty people are only recorded in the records, and there are some hermit masters who have not come out to investigate, which will be even more difficult.
"Go to the collection of Chahou Junji, Zaterk, the King of Han, the King of Wei, the King of Jin, and the King of Qi."
Li Xiang issued this order before entering the house. These people were the people with whom he had a temporary feud. If someone wanted to assassinate him, they should have something to do with these people.
"And the Cui family."
Suddenly Li Xiang remembered again that there was also a problem between himself and the Cui family.
When he said these words, Li Xiang also felt a headache. He had only been reborn for a few days, but there were enemies everywhere.
"Your Highness, this old servant is thinking of a place."
Seeing that Li Xiang couldn't get any news, Qian Ping suddenly thought of a place where there might be news.
"Chang'an City is the most prosperous place in the Tang Dynasty. All three religions and nine streams have their own gathering area. In the east corner of the city, it is said that news often spreads. The people there only care about money..."
Li Xiang has also heard of the place Qian Ping mentioned, but because Li Xiang is the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't pay much attention to such dark places. However, he doesn't have any clues now, so he can send someone to ask.
When Li Xiang turned his head, Shu San had disappeared into the darkness, which could be regarded as a channel.
"Are you okay?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly walked out of it. He also heard about his son's assassination.
"It's a good thing that my subordinates are capable, which makes my father worried."
Li Xiang saw Li Chengqian's hurried look, his eyes full of worry for himself. Although he was not his biological son, Li Xiang was quite moved after seeing this scene.
"Don't think that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous with singing and dancing. In fact, under the calm surface, there are countless dirty things secretly happening. I don't know how many people fell off my horse back then. Maybe some people are taking action."
Li Chengqian said helplessly that even the prince of the Tang Dynasty could not investigate some things clearly.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of a rumor. Back then, Li Chengqian was elegant and courageous, which aroused some jealousy among the five surnames and Qiwang. If the successors of the Tang Dynasty were the same as Li Shimin, it would mean that they would be infinitely weakened. Didn't they take action on this matter?
Compared with Li Chengqian, although Li Tai and Li Ke are also very talented, they have inherent shortcomings.
Needless to say, Li Tai is very happy and has no independent opinions.
Although Li Ke is a good successor, because of the blood of the previous emperor, if Li Ke succeeds, it will easily cause a split in the court.
"Does father have any clues?"
If this was really the case, Li Xiang would never swallow this breath.
"I'll investigate your matter first. I'm not in a hurry. Starting from tomorrow, more people will follow you out."
Li Chengqian obviously didn't want to mention what happened that year. According to what Li Xiang learned, after Li Chengqian fell from his horse that day, all the eunuchs and maids serving him were killed.
Ordinarily, even if someone caused mischief, they should all die together, but Li Xiang knew that those who died were small people, and the people behind them had not yet been dug out.
Because of Li Xiang's assassination, the entire East Palace was depressed that night.
In fact, in the Tai Chi Hall to the north of the East Palace, Li Shimin was also extremely angry.
"Check carefully for me. No matter who is found this time, I will kill them."
The man in black knelt in front of Li Shimin. He had been with Li Shimin for so many years, so he naturally knew what Li Shimin was thinking. He also knew what happened to Li Chengqian back then. It was not the negligence of the palace maids and eunuchs, but Li Shimin had no power at that time. Seats, if we rashly attack the major families, it will most likely shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.
So back then, Li Shimin could only endure it and exchanged a son for the peace of the entire Tang Dynasty. But now Li Shimin's strength has ranked first in the Tang Dynasty. If there is really evidence to prove that it was done by people with five surnames and seven hopes, then this time Li Shimin will never show mercy.
A promising son was ruined by you. I had no strength at that time, so I could only endure it. Now that you are going to attack my grandson, no matter who you are, I will make you pay the price.
Let you also taste the feeling of your descendants being wasted.
Let you also know who is calling the shots in the Tang Dynasty now...
