Chapter 7
In the main hall, Li Shimin looked at Long Feiyu and his son who were carried in.Slightly puzzled, he said, "Captain Zhaowu, why did you become like this?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, how could my father and son be treated like this. First, the appraiser sealed the mouth of the world, and then beheaded. Don't you think you are Is the time a bit too fast for this? How can it be convincing if the interval is only two days?"

Li Shimin snorted and said: "That's because you father and son disregarded the law and killed the first, otherwise I wouldn't have killed the killer."

Long Feiyu snorted coldly and said, "Then, will His Majesty first slaughter all the four servants, two maids, and takeaway No. 30 villagers who were given to the minister? What about the dead bodies in the pond of the Liu Mansion?" The bones have been sinking for at least two years. Your Majesty used such a clumsy method to execute the ministers, and the ministers had to die. At least find a convincing reason, and you probably can’t do it yourself, right?"

Over there, Chang Shi snorted, "That is clearly a new corpse, how could it be an old corpse that has been dead for two years, Your Majesty, don't listen to this kid's nonsense."

Long Feiyu snorted and said, "Then let me ask you, how did you know that there was a dead body in the pond?"

"Of course it was your servant who reported it." Chang Shi said hastily.

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "When did the emperor know about the dead body?"

"I learned about your murder around noon."

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "It was Weishi when I sent someone to report to Mr. Changshi, so Mr. Changshi, can you tell me why you knew there was a dead body in the pond before this incident?"

Chang Shi thought for a while and said anxiously: "Someone reported that you were fighting with someone at night, so I knew about it."

"Well, you know that we fight, so you are so sure that we killed someone? And my four servants and maidservants are all selected by His Majesty, I believe they will not lie to His Majesty, right?"

Chang Shi stayed here for a long time, unable to speak, cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, he thought for a while and suddenly said: "I received a tip a few days ago that there was a dead body in the lake."

Although Long Feiyu was lying on the stretcher, he also applauded: "Your Excellency is really good. We just received His Majesty's order yesterday to reward my father and son with that mansion. How did you know that my father and son Are we going to this place? Could it be that we, who were in Xiazhou Prison, rushed to Chang’an to kill someone, and then went there after that. Isn’t your statement too far-fetched?”

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not fools, and when things had come to this point, Chang Shi had no choice but to admit defeat.With a puff, he fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty. I shouldn't have lied to Your Majesty. But the father and son are the remnants of the former prince. If they don't kill them, they may become a disaster in the future. Your Majesty, I dare to kill you next time. It's really for your Majesty's future." All eternity."

Long Feiyu clapped his hands and said: "What a righteous excuse, I checked the skeletons of the three corpses, a middle-aged man with a fractured skull at the back of the head was injured by a blunt instrument, a middle-aged woman who was pregnant, her skeleton There are strangle marks on her neck, which means she was strangled to death, and another girl I found mud in her skull, and her neck has strangle marks, which means that she was strangled and then sank into the pond. This is three A living life, with an unborn child. It was obviously murdered, and why didn't you check it out when you received the report?"

Chang Shi was speechless, over there Long Feiyu raised his head and cupped his hands to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what prejudice you have against my father and son, the three lives this time, including one corpse and two lives, were found in our mansion. The minister is willing to investigate this matter until the truth is revealed. At that time, His Majesty will kill or die at your own discretion, and I want to see who is the god who dares to play tricks and despise my Tang law."

Li Shimin looked at Long Feiyu amusedly and said, "Your father and son have become like this, how can you investigate the case?"

Long Feiyu struggled to get up from the stretcher, swayed a few times and stood up, but his face was already pale.With cold sweat dripping from his forehead, he said with a smile: "I don't seek meritorious deeds, but seek innocence. If a corpse is found in my mansion, I have the right to avenge the death of the deceased."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Okay, since you have the heart, I will order you to take full responsibility for this case. During the investigation, all people will respect your dispatch, but it will be limited to one month. If you can't find out by then how?"

Long Feiyu said confidently: "As long as His Majesty fully cooperates, if I can't find out the case within a month, I will kill myself, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, I am ambitious. I am waiting for your bad news."

Li Shimin's words undoubtedly told Long Feiyu that I will kill you openly this time.Long Feiyu returned with a bit of disdain: "Your Majesty, don't be too happy, the minister is injured, please allow the minister to retire first."

Li Shimin waved his hands and said, "Let's go, let's go."

Long Feiyu looked at the guards not far away, and suddenly lay down on the stretcher again and said: "Brothers have worked hard, please take my father and son home."

Several people looked at Li Shimin inquiringly, and Li Shimin nodded.Only then did a group of people walk over, carrying the two of them towards the mansion.

Over there, Li Shimin looked at Chang Shi and said, "You have neglected your duties and deceived your superiors. Someone will take him to prison, and we will conduct an investigation after Captain Zhaowu finishes handling the case."

"Yes"

Several guards came over and hurriedly put Chang Shi down, Chang Shi's face was sallow at this time.He knew that his official career was probably over, and he shouldn't have acted rashly at the beginning, but now he was riding a tiger.

Long Feiyu, who returned to the mansion, was not in a hurry to investigate the case, but concentrated on recuperating at home.And the life bet between him and Li Shimin was naturally spread by him intentionally.Intuitively, he knew that the people in the courtyard of the mansion that night must be related to these three corpses. If they were relatives, they would definitely appear when they heard that the chips to solve the case were to bet on their lives.

At this time, Li Shimin was looking at the waterwheel in front of him, which was a new technique that the guards had learned from Longfu.For the sake of beauty, they pressed several large waterwheels in the lake of the palace.

At this time Li Shimin was sitting in a pavilion, with his empress eldest grandson sitting beside him.He was holding the piece of paper written to him by Long Feiyu in his hand, and Empress Changsun, who was not far away, naturally saw the content on the paper.He said with a smile: "I never thought that Long Feiyu is still a great talent, such a style of writing is no better than your Majesty's."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I'm still not as good as Yu Shinan. It's a pity, but I am loyal to the former prince."

Empress Changsun over there hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty thinks too much. Their father and son are not even willing to abandon the former prince, let alone follow His Majesty now? His writing to you is tolerant and tolerant. I just hope you can Tolerating everyone is the only way to make the Tang Dynasty strong for a while, and if His Majesty takes his anger out on him for a trivial matter, if he is killed rashly, wouldn't our Tang Dynasty lack a talent?"

"Talent? But this talent is not willing to be used by me."

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "No, to such stubborn people as them. Since they don't want to be used by you, they won't accept the official position you give. It should be said that they have recognized you long ago. As they themselves said, except for His Majesty now Tang, who can claim to be orthodox, His Majesty is getting into a situation he set for himself."

Li Shimin nodded, then turned to look at a father-in-law not far away: "San Bao, what is that Long Feiyu doing now? How is the investigation of his case going?"

San Bao quickly returned: "Ah Shou, who has observed him, said that he has been sleeping at home for the past few days, recuperating from his injuries. He also asked them to buy a lot of fish fry and put them in the pond. He said he wanted to raise fish."

"Fish raising? He is really free, so he didn't think about solving the case?"

"No, since he returned here, he just asked his servants to spread the news about His Majesty betting with him. He didn't do anything."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "It's been half a month now, it seems that he is not ready to live." Li Shimin said and looked at the water lanes in the lake: "But the waterwheel invented by this kid can be used. Folks, this is really beneficial for irrigation."

Sanbao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, he has already given this thing to the farmers in the nearby villages. Let them do it themselves, and he also said for a while to organize the people in the suburbs to build a water mill. He said it will be used for grinding flour in the future. Easy to get up."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Unexpectedly, this kid understands everything, even I can guess clearly. If he says how wronged he is in a letter one day, I will not see him at all. But he is simple. A few words set me on fire, and pulled me back from the brink of life and death. If you want to use such a person, you must guard against it."

Empress Changsun over there didn't say anything, and he was quite satisfied with her husband.Although Datang is currently at a disadvantage, the prosperous age is not far away.
