One hundred and sixty-six, verify the speculation

"I just want to take revenge." Li Ye took Yue'er's tea. He didn't want to have anything to do with the emperor. He was with the king like a tiger. Especially as a powerful and centralized emperor like Jing Chao, who was old and weak, was extremely dangerous.

Li Ye does not discriminate against the elderly, but just thinks rationally. The growth of age will slow down the elderly’s metabolism, slow down the reaction, and lack of ability to think, so he is prone to be confused.

It doesn’t matter if an ordinary elderly person is confused, everyone can understand it, and it is understandable.

But if the emperor is confused, it is not a joke...

There are many examples of this kind, such as Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Li Shimin. In his later years, he was not as young as he was irritable, irritable, suspicious, and made people feel bloody and uneasy.

Therefore, he did not want to deal with the emperor, nor did he want to rely on the emperor to protect himself. All he needed was a military weapon prison!

This part was long in his overall planning. He had already agreed with Degong. After the New Year, Degong made a statement on his behalf and exchanged some power for military weapons with the emperor. In this way, he could use steel and build his own military weapons without being controlled by the Salt and Iron Department, and he could protect the entire royal palace by himself.

So I had a plan in my mind, and spoke with purpose and direction, and explained things clearly, and at the same time, I alienated the emperor: "Su Huan, the son of the prefect of Ansu Prefecture in Suzhou, Ding Yi, and the Suzhou Da Shang, offended me at the Meiyuan Poetry Conference, so I wanted to take revenge, so I let someone stare at them."

Li Ye said and looked at the emperor opposite him. His expression was calm, as if it was no surprise. This made Li Ye a little confused. Did he know about the Meiyuan Poetry Club?

"How are you going to take revenge?" asked the emperor.

"It's nothing, I'm going to break their legs." Li Ye answered truthfully. If the group hadn't had their weird behavior, he would have been going to do this from the beginning.

These words made everyone around them nervous and they were all so angry that they didn't dare to breathe.

But the emperor just nodded slightly and was not angry. He seemed to agree with this approach: "What happened later."

Li Ye was slightly surprised. He wanted to anger the emperor a little, so he could not talk about it this day. After all, if he saved his life, there would be no major problems, and then he would get rid of him.

Unexpectedly, this emperor was really cruel. If he was asked to deal with Su Huan and Ding Yi, he would be afraid that he would be killed directly by him.

"Later I found out that they were acting strangely. They bought a lot of cloth in the capital a few years ago." Li Ye was about to drink tea, but he thought that drinking tea was not good for external injuries, so he asked Yue'er to change him to a cup of hot water.

The emperor frowned: "What's wrong with buying cloth?"

"You are stupid..." Li Ye was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly realized that this was the emperor, so he held back the words behind him.

Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, Fu'an was sweating profusely and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Suzhou is the province of the dynasty, with cloth merchants gathering. Many cloths in the capital were shipped from Suzhou, and most of the tribute cloths in the palace were also."

"Yes, yes, haha, when the prince Chu talked to his subordinates, his subordinates didn't expect it for a moment, hahaha..." Ji Chunsheng quickly interrupted. Fu'an was trying to smooth things over for the emperor, and Ji Chunsheng was obviously for Li Ye.

The emperor didn't pursue anything: "So."

"Later, on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Huan hurried back and said that a ship came to Suzhou, but he couldn't recognize the words "Su" and "Fen" and got on the wrong ship. It was the ship of the Fen family in Suzhou, not from the Su family. The officials of the Maritime Warehouse had worked hard to inspect the goods for a whole morning, but Su Huan made a mistake and was ridiculed by the people around him. The young master Su was scolded and cried by the officials of the Maritime Warehouse." When Li Ye said this, everyone in the room was amused, and the emperor rarely smiled.

"This Su Huan is such a funny person." Father Fu'an covered his mouth and said.

Li Ye continued: "As a result, they left in a hurry by the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month." He stopped at this point.

"What then?" After a while, the emperor said impatiently.

“So I think they are suspicious.”

"Suspicious?" The emperor frowned again. Ji Chun was afraid that the prince would say something shocking again, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, if you calculate according to the time, you will need to leave the capital on the 29th, then you will need to go home today, so they need to celebrate the New Year on the boat. At first, if the prince had not reminded his subordinates, they would not be able to get around for a while. This traveler would rather leave the capital in a hurry for the New Year on the river, so it is really suspicious."

The emperor then suddenly realized that this problem seemed simple, but the date chosen made many people easily fall into a misunderstanding of thinking, that is, leaving Beijing at 29 is equivalent to rushing back to celebrate the New Year.

Everyone also woke up, then nodded and whispered. The old man Fu'an said repeatedly: "The prince is really smart."

"But what is this related to the assassin?" the emperor asked again.

Li Ye looked at He Zhao who was standing behind and had a dark face: "Don't the emperor find it strange? The 100-box army of Ansu Mansion has entered the capital. As the prefect of Kaiyuan for so many years, Lord He is a capable person and has managed the Kaiyuan Mansion in an orderly manner. Will he make mistakes in the inspection of the city gate? What's more, today the emperor and the emperor patrol the city, so he should be more cautious."

He Zhao looked at him in surprise, but he didn't expect Li Xingzhou to speak for him. When he saw him looking over, he quickly avoided his eyes and looked at the ceiling with no concern.

"But the thief has not only a saber, but also a crossbow weapon!" The emperor was angry when he talked about this, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up.

"Yes, the question is where these things come from." Li Ye said: "So I remembered what Su Huan did in Maritime Affairs that day."

Everyone frowned, and He Zhao interrupted: "There is nothing wrong except stupidity." The emperor nodded.

"It's inappropriate." Li Ye said: "Think about it carefully, if Su Huan's clumsy behavior is aside, he will pass a few inspections."

Everyone frowned again, but this time Di Zhi, who was the one who was most dependent on the door, first reacted: "I understand, Prince, he only went through the inspection once!"

Although he didn't say this loudly, and because of his identity, he stood in the outermost position in the house, but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt like thunder, exploded in everyone's minds. Many people reacted suddenly, looking shocked and stunned on the spot.

If you think about it carefully, yes, he only passed the inspection once!

The emperor also reacted and then clenched his fists, his face very ugly.

"I happened to think of this when I was patrolling the city that day and found that if their pedestrian wanted to bring things to Beijing, they could bring them in as long as they wrapped things in a large amount of cloth. Although Su Huan was ridiculous, she did only go through one inspection." Li Ye said as he took a sip of the newly poured hot water for him by Yue'er.

"So I suddenly became alert. If they brought something dangerous into the city, it would be a disaster. He Qian called me on the side of the road at this time. After looking at it, he saw that the two soldiers beside her looked abnormal and hid their swords under their sleeves. They would call people in a hurry."

Li Ye said seriously and said to the emperor: "If it weren't for saving you, that person was not me, but this little girl." He said and pointed to He Qian who was sleeping: "If she hadn't called me, I wouldn't have found that the expressions of those soldiers were different. They had lived in Wangjiang Tower before, and sent people to search around Wangjiang Tower, and maybe they could find physical evidence."

The emperor waved his hand and asked Ji Chunsheng to lead the soldiers of Wudesi to do as they did.

After waiting for half an hour, Ji Chunsheng excitedly brought the soldiers of Wudesi to return the matter. They found the dirty and messy cloth dug out in the woods behind Wangjiang Tower, and some of them hid a few standard sabers that were not clean and wrapped too deeply.
