Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Seeing their companions like this, those people stood up one after another, but just as they were about to speak,

"Keng"

Several guards showed the sword handles at their waists and held them halfway.

These people were so frightened that they sat down immediately after seeing it. No matter what their companions were, someone who could carry a knife in public, and there were so many people, must have a lot of background.

Otherwise, how could we enter the city?

"Sit down. Just tell me what's going on, and I'll let you go. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

Li Shen patted the bench on one side.

Tieniu didn't wait for his consent and directly pulled him over and pushed him onto the stool.

"What's your name?" Li Shen asked.

"Little...little...little man's name is...Zhang San." The man replied tremblingly.

Li Shen smiled slightly. He guessed that this was a fake name because he was afraid that he would cause trouble for him in the future.

But it doesn't matter,

"Mr. Zhang, come here, the food and wine are here. Let's talk while eating." Li Shen said enthusiastically to Zhang San.

Seeing that Li Shen didn't look like a villain, Zhang San felt somewhat relieved, and then he looked at the others.

Sitting next to him were two middle-aged men, one dressed elegantly and the other powerful, like a practicing martial artist.

Opposite are a young man and a woman. Although they appear to be dressed in brocade, their style is that of a servant.

It's just that the young man across from him didn't look up. He was picking up dishes from one plate to another. He didn't look like a servant at all.

"This noble man, I really don't know much about it. I just heard it from hearsay. There are many noble people, please let the villain go." Zhang San begged.

"Haha, don't be nervous. Just tell me about the murder. After that, I will let you go and give you a reward."

As Li Shen spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Shi Shi, who was eating sullenly, immediately understood and took out a gold bar and put it in Li Shen's hand.

"Pah!" Li Shen placed the gold bar in front of Zhang San, "Let's talk!"

Zhang San glanced at the gold bar and finally couldn't resist the temptation and said:

"Then the little man will tell the noble man.

Not long ago, a murder occurred in our state city. The deceased was named Zhang Qi, and he was the shopkeeper of a restaurant.

That day, Zhang Qi sent his aunt-in-law back to her parents' home to visit relatives, and after she came back, she took care of the restaurant by herself.

In the evening, after taking stock of the delivered goods and preparing to close the store, three strangers came to stay.

The three of them had foreign accents, and they all wore this crossbar around their waists and were dressed in military uniforms.

The three of them claimed to be the Forbidden Army and were passing by on their way to the north for business, and the leader was named Yang Yi.

Zhang Qi didn't dare to ask more questions and arranged for a room to be slept in. After Zhang Qi closed the door at night, he made a rounds and went to bed himself.

The next day the waiter didn't see the shopkeeper, so he went to the room to call Zhang Qi.

Unexpectedly, after entering, he saw Zhang Qi lying on the ground, blood all over the ground, and he was dead.

The guy hurriedly reported it to the official. "Zhang San also felt relaxed after saying this.

And Li Shen interrupted:

"What about the three Imperial Guards you mentioned?"

Zhang Sanyou continued:

"My lord, the man said that the three of them set off before dawn, and it was he who opened the door.

Later, for some reason, the government arrested the three of them, and now they are being tried in the government office.

The villain heard that when they were captured, one of the three people had blood on his knife.

Comparing the knife marks and wounds, we determined that it was the work of three people. "

This is the end of what Zhang San said, but many of the details are missing.

Li Shenyi frowned,

"You said it in such detail before. Why didn't you explain clearly what happened after reporting to the official?"

"Back to your lord, I heard what happened before from the waiter in the restaurant, but now many people know about it.

I don’t know how the government arrested people or investigated the cases later. "

Zhang San was a little nervous.

Li Shen picked up the gold bar and threw it to Zhang San.

"you can go now."

Zhang San waved to his companions as if he was being pardoned, and they hurriedly left the restaurant.

"Your Majesty, do you think there is something fishy about this case?" Wang Xuance asked.

"I can't tell. I can't tell without knowing the specific situation, but I have to take care of this matter." Li Shen took a bite of the food.

Seeing that Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui didn't understand, Li Shen explained:

"Because they are the imperial guards, the royal guards, they cannot damage their reputation outside, and it will also damage the reputation of our royal family.

The royal guards are killing people outside, which is good or bad.

If it was really what they did, this king would show no mercy and take him back to the Chang'an army for execution.

But if it was not their fault, then I cannot let them suffer unjust injustice and die in vain. "

Wang Xuance nodded and understood what Li Shen meant. This is something that a royal child should indeed do.

Li Shen has been maintaining the face and status of the royal family over the years, which is the common interest of being a descendant of the royal family.

After several people had dinner, Li Shen led people to the Longzhou Prefecture Yamen. He wanted to ask those three people first.

Li Shen believed that the Imperial Guards were still well-educated and would not kill people for no reason.

The governor of Longzhou was named Zheng Ji. He was from the Zheng family in Xingyang, one of the five surnames Qiwang. He came from a famous family.

Zheng Ji was a little puzzled when the yamen servant reported that King Ji was outside the yamen.

Shouldn't King Ji be in the northwest? Although the Zheng family in Xingyang participated in some activities against Li Shen, they did not participate too deeply.

Therefore, he never had much trouble with Prince Ji's Mansion.

When Zheng Ji came outside the government office, he saw a group of people surrounding a young man, who was dressed in fine clothes and had an extraordinary bearing.

"I dare to ask, but His Highness Prince Ji."

Zheng Ji came forward to ask. He had never met Li Shen, so he couldn't just say so.

Shi Shi stepped forward and showed the seal of the Great Protector. Zheng Ji read it carefully and immediately saluted.

"I am sent to the provincial governor of Longzhou, Zheng Ji, to see His Highness King Ji."

The only guardian of Qinghai Province was King Ji Li Shen, whom he had read in the Di newspaper.

Although most of the Protector's grades are similar to his, they are first-grade princes, several levels higher than him.

"Well, no need to be polite." Li Shen nodded.

"Your Majesty, please come into the mansion." Zheng Ji said respectfully.

Although he was in Longzhou, he often heard the legend of King Ji.

With his own strength, he fought against their five surnames and seven looks, and locked up eight families. And it is still standing, which he admires very much.

Li Shen was not polite and followed Zheng Ji into the Governor's Mansion. He came to the front hall and Li Shen sat in the first place.

"Someone come and serve tea." Zheng Ji ordered.

"No need, Governor Zheng. I am here for some matters."

"My lord, I don't know what your instructions are."

"I heard that there was a recent case related to our Royal Guards.

Otherwise, I will never interfere in local affairs. I want to see these three people, but I don’t know if it is convenient. "

Li Shen said it very politely, but his tone was unacceptable. Moreover, what Li Shen said was very reasonable and related to the Royal Forbidden Army. It was not an exaggeration for him to go and take a look.

"This..." Zheng Ji hesitated. Even if Li Shen was the prince, he had no right to interfere with local political power.

Moreover, he is the chief protector of Qinghai Road, which belongs to Longyou Road, and Li Shen really has no control over it.

"Why, is it possible that Governor Zheng is unwilling? This is related to the face of my royal family. You must think clearly."
