Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty

Xi Bian was horrified when he heard that King Ji actually led troops to surround the governor's mansion.

Doesn’t King Ji know the rules and laws?

Or is it that King Ji rebelled?

Xi Bian quickly got up and went outside, and happened to bump into Li Shen and his group coming in.

Seeing that Li Shen was followed by a dense crowd of at least several hundred people, Xi Bian couldn't help but ask:

"Your Highness King Ji, what does this mean? Why did King Ji lead his troops into the governor's mansion?"

"Send an order to gather all the petty officials and government officials. No one is allowed to move around at will. Go to the back house and gather all the family members of Governor Xi.

Be careful not to hurt anyone, and then search every corner of the Governor's Mansion for me. "

Li Shen ignored Xi Bian and gave the order directly.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness Prince Ji, what do you mean by this? Although you are a prince, the imperial court has its own laws. Your Highness knows that leading troops to attack the Yamen is tantamount to treason."

Xi Bian was so anxious that he didn't understand why Li Shen did this.

Li Shen came to Xi Bian with a smile, took out Li Shimin's imperial edict and placed it in front of Xi Bian.

"As you can see, I am now an envoy of the Tenth Order. Everywhere I go is subject to my control. Not to mention bringing my guards to attack your governor's mansion. Even the soldiers in the palace must obey my orders. I won't even kill you. Do you understand breaking the law?"

Li Shen said to Xi Bian very arrogantly, feeling in his heart that he always has a certificate and can use it.

Xi Bian looked at it carefully, especially when he saw the big seal, he stood stunned on the spot.

He did not expect that Prince Ji was such a powerful official. How could His Majesty give such power to a teenage boy.

Aren't the deposed emissaries usually only senior figures? In the past, they were all big figures like Li Jing and Fang Xuanling.

Just when he was stunned, he heard Li Shen continue to say:

"Xi Bian, I now suspect that you are corrupt, perverting the law, accepting bribes, and shielding the thief Li Dabian. I will take you down now and wait for trial."

"No, Your Highness Prince Ji, I am not corrupt, and Li Dabian is dead. How can Prince Ji frame me with no evidence?"

Xi Bian was anxious.

"Hmph, do you think that if Li Dabian dies, he will die without any evidence? Li Dabian is just a small role, and his life and death will not prevent me from punishing you."

Li Shen snorted coldly.

"In that case, why does King Ji still want to interrogate the subordinates?"

"Xi Bian, have you forgotten why this king came to your Cangzhou Mansion? You must have checked it out.

Do you think you sent people to follow me, and I don’t know?

If you weren't guilty of being a thief, why would you send someone to follow me?

It's useless to say more, the river alone is enough to kill you several times. Get it for me, the king. "

After hearing this, Xi Bian sat down on the ground, and two guards came forward to tie him up.

Xi Bian sent people to follow Li Shen. Li Shen knew early on that Li Shen was traveling with two thousand guards and a 150-person sharp blade team in the dark.

They usually dress up and follow Li Shen around. No one knows where they are, and no one knows them.

All contacts are through the captain Xue Rengui.

If Li Shen hadn't been unwilling to alert others, the people following him would have disappeared long ago.

Soon the guards gathered everyone together, including a bunch of officials from the governor's office and a bunch of Xi Bian's family members.

"Search for me. Search carefully to see if there are any hidden compartments, cellars or the like. Xuance, go and check the documents and letters."

"Yes, my lord."

In fact, Li Shen was not sure. He was afraid that Xi Bian's money was not in the governor's mansion.

Even if he convicts Xi Bian hard, if the stolen money is not found by then, he will still be talked about in court.

Looking at Xi Bian's expression, the expressions on Xi Bian's face were constantly changing, and sweat was pouring from his forehead.

"Your Highness, the government office in the front courtyard didn't find it." A guard came over to report.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Let's focus on searching the back house. There are too many people in front of us, so it's impossible to put anything important."

Li Shen had already been mentally prepared for this.

"Your Highness, look at this." At this moment, Wang Xuance brought over a box with some letters in it.

"What is this?" Li Shen didn't bother to look at each one and asked Wang Xuance directly.

"This is a letter from some wealthy businessmen to Xi Bian. It contains a lot of gifts." Wang Xuance explained.

"Oh?" Li Shen became interested and took out one to take a look at. It was a businessman named Cui.

Li Shen looked at a few more pictures, the one with the surname Zheng, the one with the surname Li, the one with the surname Wang.

"Wait a minute." Li Shen suddenly saw a picture named Changsun.

"Xuance, do you think these people are all businessmen from aristocratic families?" Li Shen whispered to Wang Xuance.

"I think it's about the same." Wang Xuance also said softly.

"Oh, it's a pity. Although the last names match up, these letters have no offensive power." After speaking, Li Shen took out the letter from Changsun's family and handed it to Chunxiang to put away.

Then he said to Wang Xuance:

"Keep these and submit them to the court, no matter how disgusting they are."

Then Li Shen turned to Xi Bian and said.

"Are you stupid? Why didn't you burn the letter? Isn't this leaving evidence for us? It's really stupid."

"Your Majesty, I don't think Xi Bian is stupid at all. I guess that he kept these letters because he wanted to use them to threaten the family's life in times of crisis."

Wang Xuance said with a smile.

"Really? That makes sense. You are really smart, Xi Bian." Li Shen suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, we also searched the backyard. There are only some silk and silk strings, as well as brocade and silk. There is not much money."

Just as Li Shen was speaking, a guard came over to report.

"It's impossible. The imperial court must allocate at least tens of thousands of guan." Li Shen was a little confused.

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I sent people to dredge the river, but it's just blocked again. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate." At this time, Xi Bian said.

"Hmph, do you think that I am a fool and that it has only been a long time since I dredged the river before it became clogged? I will go and see for myself.

I will find it even if I have to dig three feet into the ground. "

After speaking, Li Shen led his men to the back house. All the soldiers were banging everywhere, trying to see if there were hidden compartments there.

Li Shen walked through every room and knocked on the walls, but still found nothing.

how could be?

Li Shen was walking around and thinking. Tens of thousands of coins was a big pile, and the only place to store it was underground.

Li Shen felt that Xi Bian would not be placed outside. If he found a house to put it in, he would definitely alarm the people in the city.

That's several hundred cartloads of copper coins.

"Underground, underground." Li Shen thought, the Governor's Mansion was so big, he had already searched everything, and only the underground was missing.

There must be a vault underground, but where is the entrance?

After turning around, Li Shen suddenly saw a well in the garden, and a word flashed through his mind.

"Damn it, are you going to fight in the tunnels?"
