The lights were brightly lit in front of the Niu Xiantong Mansion, and three hundred yamen runners and constables raised torches to shine in front of the gate as daylight.

The door was closed, and dozens of servants stood on the steps. Niu Xiantong's fake son Niu Qiang held a sword in his hand, pointed at the yamen runner-up and shouted, "Go and get the regent's will. I'll ask you to search, otherwise you will kill me and step into the door from my body!"

Niu Qiang is also famous for being arrogant in Chang'an City. He is Niu Xiantong's nephew. He was adopted by his uncle as his adopted son. He is very tough and often leads a group of subordinates to commit crimes on the streets of Chang'an, and no one dares to provoke him.

Pei Kuan held up a decree and said, "I have the emperor's handwriting, you can dodge it immediately, otherwise I will arrest you for deceiving the emperor!"

"Who are Pei Envoys to capture?"

Niu Xiantong arrived, and he got off the carriage and said sarcastically: "Our family has always been law-abiding and lived carefully. How could so many policemen come? What crime did our family commit?"

Pei Kuan was secretly surprised. He had just arrived when the other party arrived. This guy was obviously prepared.

Pei Kuan quickly clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that General Niu is here. We are not asking for a sudden search of the government. I have the emperor's handwriting. If you want to investigate a case, please cooperate with the general manager!"

"The emperor also needs to be reasonable. Today, the envoy Pei will search our house with a letter from the emperor. Then tomorrow our family will search our house with a letter from the Regent. Maybe we can find a few anti-poems. Can the envoy Pei accept it?"

Pei Kuan finally understood that this mansion was really hard to search. Without the regent's approval, even if they had evidence of glamorousness, searching this mansion would lead to endless troubles.

Although it was a bit difficult to get on the road, Pei Kuan was a man who had experienced strong storms. He calmed down and said: "We have sufficient reasons. General Manager Niu is suspected of hiding three Taoist treasures from the saint. Relevant persons involved in the case proved that these three treasures were obtained by General Manager Niu.

With the approval of the Lord, we came to search your mansion. If Manager Niu has any dissatisfaction, you can appeal to the Lord. Please do not hinder our official duties!"

"I must search and I can't stop it, but can I ask Pei Jun to wait for a moment? I have sent someone to report to the Regent. The Regent will arrive soon. If the Regent says he can search, I promise not to hinder official duties!"

As soon as the fairy tale of Niu Xian finished, almost two voices rang out at the same time.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

"His Highness the Regent arrived!"

The emperor's dragon chariot and the regent's tiger chariot arrived from the north and the other from the east, almost at the same time.

In fact, Li Chengqi got one step first. He had to wait for the arrival of Emperor Li Longji before he would appear at the same time.

Of course, Li Longji knew very well that it would be impossible for him to search this mansion if he didn't come out. Niu Xiantong had 100,000 weapons, so how could he easily let someone enter the mansion search?

Only you can suppress Niu Xiantong.

But Li Longji didn't expect that the emperor's brother Li Chengqi would come so quickly.

Li Chengqi smiled and said, "What happened that alarmed the emperor? Manager Niu, you might have done something rebellious, right!"

Niu Xiantong was so scared that she knelt down, "The slave is just a little eunuch who serves his master in the palace. How dare you do anything rebellious?"

Li Chengqi smiled again and said, "Your Majesty, he is your slave. If you come and ask him, I will listen."

Li Longjixin sneered secretly, something must be hidden in the mansion that would alarm the emperor's brother.

If you don’t overwhelm your royal brother today, you won’t be able to search this mansion.

"Niu Xiantong, someone has proved that you have hidden three Taoist treasures. Can you admit it?"

Pei Kuan's questioning and the emperor's questioning are different. Denying Pei Kuan's questioning is nothing, and denying the emperor's questioning, once it is verified, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Even if you can't find anything, you can kill you with the crime of deceiving the king.

Niu Xiantong lowered his head and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Zhenren Long Yang did take three Taoist treasures to the slave, but not to give them to the slave, but asked the slave to identify the true or false for him, and the slave could not recognize it. He handed it to His Highness the Regent two days ago, and asked him to help with the appraisal."

Gao Lishi next to him sighed slightly in his heart. No wonder Thirty-Balang said that the reason for Taoism's treasures was unreliable. It was indeed unreliable. He could just tell the truth and falsehood in one sentence.

Li Chengqi took the opportunity to speak out, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. And I have identified that the golden gourd is still a fake. Pei Jun, this matter must be carefully investigated by Jingzhao Mansion. Who stolen the golden gourd? This is your responsibility!"

Li Chengqi said a few casual words, not only to destroy the excuse of Taoism's treasures, but also to rebel against Pei Kuan and put Pei Kuan on the fire. If you can't find a real golden gourd, you are dereliction of duty!

Pei Kuan saw sweat on his forehead and had to bow and say, "Abide by the orders of humble duties!"

Li Longji failed in the first battle, and he had to use his trump card.

"Brother, I have not concealed the matter until now. I will not let me leave the palace in person with only three Taoist treasures. I have received a secret report that there are a large number of weapons hidden in Niu Xiantong's mansion. I suspect he is going to rebel, so I want to take a look in person."

Li Chengqi's face changed and he asked sternly: "Niu Xiantong, what the emperor said is true?"

Niu Xiantong was so scared that she trembled all over, "I don't dare to beat the slave to death!"

Li Chengqi asked again: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, but what evidence is there?"

"The evidence is in his mansion. As for the evidence, I will not be groundless!"

He turned around and ordered, "Take someone to witness!"

Li Sheng brought Xu Jianqing, the second butler of Niu Mansion, to come up. Li Longji took out his testimony and said, "This is the second butler of Niu Mansion, this is his testimony. There are a large number of weapons hidden in the Niu Mansion. If the emperor doesn't believe it, please ask him!"

Li Chengqi shook his head, "Your Majesty, there are only human evidence but no physical evidence. I won't believe it. Your Majesty must search the palace. Then we have to come up with an explanation. What if you search, what if you can't search? So what if you don't break the rules this time, we can search the palace at will in the future."

Li Chengqi was completely correct. You are going to search my mansion today. How do I know if you will frame it?

If there is no constitution, I will search for Zhang Jiuling tomorrow to ensure that I will find a bunch of anti-poems.

Li Longji nodded, "What should I do if the emperor brother said?"

Li Chengqi said calmly: "The first thing we are targeting is the conclusive crime of not being able to frame. You say that he has hidden a lot of weapons or that he has hidden countless private soldiers. These are all possible, but they cannot be evidence that the searcher can carry. Can Your Majesty make this clear?"

Li Longji said happily: "The emperor's words make sense. Not only this time, but this should be the case in the future!"

Li Chengqi said again: "If I really find a conclusive evidence of the crime, I will never protect myself. I will kill me if I should be exiled. I will not let his son take the blame. I will not do such a thing, but what if I can't find it?"

The previous words are glamorous, and the last sentence is the key.

Seeing that Li Longji was a little hesitant, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let's do this! Let's make another bet. If there is no conclusive evidence of the crime, what if your Majesty hand over the inner treasury to me?"

Li Longji's confidence was a little shaken, and his heart began to stir up trouble. He turned around and asked Li Sheng, "Can you be sure?"

"Your Majesty, I just investigated it. All the weapons are there. I dare to use the head to guarantee it!"

Li Longji nodded, almost fooled, the emperor clearly deliberately increased his bargaining chips and forced himself to give up this opportunity. This was the only chance to defeat the Niu Xiantong.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You don't joke, I've bet with you!"

Gao Lishi suddenly became a little worried. The emperor was too eager to overthrow the fairy boy and was easily exploited by the Regent.
