Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

Obviously to cheat money.

"Father, if the government can handle this matter, the child will not come to you. The key is..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiao looked at Li Xiaogong maliciously, and continued: "The key is that this person is in a high position, and the government can't afford to offend him!"

"who is it?"

Li Er also saw Li Xiao's eyes, and immediately knew it.

"It's him!" Li Xiao pointed at Li Xiaogong and shouted, "The majestic King of Hejian County actually sent someone to do such a dirty thing, do you really think that this king is too young to be bullied?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong frowned: "King Yue, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chapter 63: Psychological Game

"Hehe." Li Xiao sneered, "Don't you dare to admit what you did? To tell you the truth, all your people have confessed."

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong remained expressionless, without the slightest panic, and said calmly: "Then please ask the King of Yue to invite this person up, and confront him in front of the Holy Majesty."

He also knew that this was just Li Xiao defrauding him.

He can conclude that what Li Xiao caught was just the bait, and the real spies are probably about to succeed.

"What about people?"

Li Er also looked at Li Xiao, waiting for the next sentence.

But Li Xiao was silent.

He looked at Li Xiaogong with thoughtful eyes.

Seeing this, Li Xiaogong said in a cold voice: "Why, since the king of Yue is confident, why did he hesitate?"

"Or is it that the King of Yue has no evidence at all, just talking nonsense to deceive the Holy Majesty?"

"Even if you are the king of Yue, you should be punished for the crime of deceiving the king!"

Li Xiaogong always had a calm look on his face.

Seeing this, Li Er couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

Xiao'er, is this all you can do?

He was a little disappointed.

"Who says I have no evidence?"

Li Xiao smiled, and continued: "I was just thinking about how much money I should ask you to pay if there is evidence."

"Hehe." Li Xiaogong chuckled, "If there is any evidence to prove that my people destroyed your farmland, I will give you double the compensation."

"Okay! I've been waiting for your words!"

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Li Er: "Father, you heard it just now!"

Li Er nodded, did not speak, his eyes were thoughtful.

"Bring witnesses!"

Li Xiao shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuntian escorted a man in.

This sudden scene made Li Xiaogong startled.

He didn't know what Li Xiao was doing.

It stands to reason that the people sent by his son should not know anything, and they were clearly sent up to be arrested by Li Xiao.

As for the person who actually placed them, judging from the time, it is estimated that they have just acted.

And it would take at least a few hours for Li Xiao to come here from Lantian Villa, and the time was not right at all.

In other words, it was impossible for Li Xiao to catch the real spy.

Where did this person come from?

Not only Li Xiaogong, but Li Er also had doubts in his eyes.

However, Li Xiao came to the detainee and asked, "Tell me, who ordered you to destroy my king's farmland?"

After a pause, Li Xiao glanced at Li Xiaogong, and continued: "You can speak boldly, as long as you tell the truth, you can be punished lightly, and your life will not be in danger."

"Thank you, Your Highness King Yue!"

The man thanked him, looked at Li Xiaogong with some fear, and then slowly said: "It's Lord Li Chongyi, he gave the villain some money, and asked the villain to go to Lantian Villa to steal seeds and destroy the farmland along the way."

"You're talking nonsense! Slandering an official of the imperial court deserves death!"

Li Xiaogong immediately retorted, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"What?" Li Xiao sneered, "You want to kill someone? The emperor is here, is it your turn to give orders?"

"you!"

Li Xiaogong was suddenly anxious, but he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said: "I see, this is your person, right?"

"What about me? My lord, now that the evidence is solid, you want to repudiate your debt?" Li Xiao said coldly.

"This is clearly your own person. There is no truth in this person's mouth, and you clearly explained it in advance."

Although Li Xiaogong's face was still calm, he was very angry in his heart.

He never thought that there would be such a cunning person in the world one day.

And this person is actually only a five-year-old child.

"Father, you give the appraisal ceremony."

Li Xiao looked aggrieved: "Is it easy for me? I have worked so hard to plant some land, and I just want to do it for me..."

"stop!"

Seeing that Li Xiao was about to complain again, Li Er quickly interrupted.

He thought for a while, then looked at Zhao Yuntian, and said slowly: "Commander Zhao, who is this person?"

At this moment, Zhao Yuntian hesitated.

Li Er was expressionless, and said lightly: "You have always been honest, don't lie to me!"

At this moment, Li Xiao's heart sank.

The worst still happened.

There was deep confusion in his eyes, and he looked at Li Er with puzzlement.

This person is indeed his own, and the confession and so on are all confessed by him.

Naturally, he came here to cheat some money from Li Xiaogong.

The premise of doing this is that Li Er will not obstruct it.

Before he came, he had thought carefully that Li Er was also his father, and at this time the national crisis was at stake, and he was about to die of poverty.

But this Li Xiaogong has a lot of money, and he didn't hesitate to ask him to take out 10 taels of silver, which shows that the amount of silver hoarded by this person is not small.

So he decided that Li Er would cooperate with him and cheat Li Xiaogong for some money.

Unexpectedly, Li Er still dealt with it fairly.

Doing so will not benefit the court at all!

He didn't understand.

At this time, Zhao Yuntian thought for a while, then knelt down on one knee, and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, this person is indeed a thief. His subordinates caught him in the farmland, and he was committing crimes at that time."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiao was startled.

He didn't ask Zhao Yuntian to say this.

It was entirely Zhao Yuntian's own thought.

These words are completely the crime of deceiving the emperor, which is a felony!

He was already prepared for Zhao Yuntian to tell the truth, but he didn't expect Zhao Yuntian to protect his interests even if he lied to Li Er.

This caused some changes in the way Li Xiao looked at Zhao Yuntian.

Zhao Yuntian's answer obviously surprised Li Er, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuntian, do you know what to do with the crime of deceiving the emperor? I will ask you again, is this person sent by Li Xiaogong?" ?”

"Return to Your Majesty, the crime of deceiving the king deserves death!"

"This subordinate has absolutely no falsehood, this person was appointed by King Hejian!"

Zhao Yuntian's answer has not changed.

However, Li Er said: "Commander Zhao, call all your subordinates over, I want to see if your subordinates know this person."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuntian fell silent.

The person who was escorted was indeed his subordinate, if he really called all his subordinates, they would definitely be exposed.

Li Xiao quickly stood up and said, "Father, it's all me..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Yuntian: "Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with King Yue, it is a subordinate..."

"Shut up! Do you dare to intervene when this king is talking?"

Li Xiao interrupted Zhao Yuntian again.

He knew that Zhao Yuntian wanted to bear all the blame alone.

"Finally can't hold back?"

Li Xiaogong next to him had been watching the play, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but sneer.

"King Yue, he is just a bodyguard commander, if he dies as a scapegoat, he will die, why bother to defend like this?"

He was provoking Li Xiao to admit that he had deceived the emperor.

Just when Li Xiao was about to admit it, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, Li Junxian asks to see you!"

Hearing this, Li Xiao was taken aback.

Why is Li Junxian here at this time?

"Let him in." Li Er said expressionlessly.

Not long after, Li Junxian strode into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I caught several spies in Lantian Villa. After investigation, it was found that the man behind the scenes was Li Chongyi, the son of King Hejian."

Li Junxian cupped his fists and said respectfully.

"Oh?" Li Er waved his hand, "Bring it up!"

After a while, several tenant farmers with callused hands were brought to the imperial court, all with expressions of panic and anxiety on their faces.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaogong frowned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely impossible, it must be the king of Yue who slandered the humble minister!"

"Don't worry, when Li Chongyi comes over, everything will become clear." Li Er smiled and said thoughtfully.

what?

Li Xiaogong's expression changed, and he looked at Li Er in shock.

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall again.

"Your Majesty, Li Chongyi, the Chancellor of Honglu Temple, has arrived!"

Chapter 64: Divide the spoils, father!

The moment Li Chongyi walked into the imperial study, he saw those tenant farmers instantly, and his face changed suddenly.

He never expected that he would see several people here.

Turning his head, Li Xiao was indeed there, as well as his father.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
