Chapter 544: Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger
"What does the emperor mean?" After receiving the imperial edict from Li Shimin, Zhao Gui looked puzzled. Why did the emperor let him do the job of an imperial envoy? And it was only three days. Does the emperor really think he is a detective and all cases are easy to capture?
"Is the emperor's meaning not obvious enough?" He took over the sacred edicts and sat beside Zhao Gui. Princess Changle said softly to her husband disapprovingly: "One word, just a little bit."
"What does princess mean?" Zhao Gui's eyes were mostly confused when he brought a pot to pour a bowl of tea for Princess Changle.
"Think about the case that the emperor asked you to try, and think about the relationship between the Liu family in this case and our Zhao family," Princess Chang Le took the tea handed over by the princess with a smile on her lips, and said softly: "Think about the many talented and knowledgeable people in the court, why would he choose such an idle prince like you? This series of unreasonable things add up, can't it be possible to explain some problems?"
"You must know that my emperor brother has been very smart since he was a child. If he is not polite or rational, it will never be possible to do things like this unless he does it intentionally." Growing up in the palace since he was a child, Princess Changle is much stronger than Zhao Gui and even Zhao Kaifang. The moment Li Ran expressed her intention, she saw her second brother's thoughts.
"According to the princess's meaning," Zhao Gui's face showed a hint of joy, turned his head to look at Princess Changle and asked, "Does the emperor want me to go to the Liu family more?"
"Apart from that, I can't think of any other reason," Xiaobao sipped the tea, and Princess Chang Le said in detail: "We are always idle, never ask about political affairs or ignore party disputes. If there is no reason, the emperor would not give the prince consort such an errand for no reason."
"And, for the 'Liu Family Coal Floor' thing, it was obvious that someone had done some tricks in it. Chen Shoude could arrive at Sanyuan before the rain stopped, which was the biggest flaw in itself." Without waiting for Zhao Gui to say anything again, Princess Chang Le continued to say: "Think about the things that happened in the 'Liu Family Tea Floor' a while ago, and those who understand a little can see that someone was always looking for trouble for the Liu Mansion and the second child of the Liu family."
"This time, the emperor wants to borrow it from you to give the person behind the scenes some warnings and deterrence. To put it in a more common saying, that is, to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger." Princess Chang Le said: "Show your attitude, deal with some villains who are somewhat related, and make those who want to cause trouble be honest. When my second brother was the King of Qin, this trick was often useful."
"Knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger?" Zhao Gui took a sip of fragrant tea and asked his wife softly: "Why should I do it according to the princess's wishes?"
I am not ashamed to ask, this is Zhao Gui's usual style. If you don't understand, you have to ask people who know, and it is not embarrassing to ask questions in front of your wife.
"Do whatever you want. If the sky leaks, someone will be able to fix it. The body of the horse will not be involved," Princess Chang Le did not refuse and said directly: "Since it is a shock to the tiger, the less the movement, how can it be shaken? The more the movement the horse makes here, the happier the emperor will be."
"So," Princess Chang Le's mouth curled up a beautiful curve, and she licked her thin lips with her little tongue, and said softly in Zhao Gui's ear with fear that the world would not be messed up: "With this handwriting of the second brother, the prince consort wants to do whatever she wants. In my opinion, she directly detained Chen Shoude, and all the charges, defilements, murders, causes of the collapse of the charcoal mine, etc., and all the crimes related to this case will be destroyed. In this way, it takes less than three days, and only half a day, the case will be concluded."
"Princess, you're messing around again!" Zhao Gui looked at his wife seriously, shook his head and chuckled slightly. Why do people in their twenties still speak like a child?
"No, this princess said it all the truth. If it weren't, not to mention three days, even ten or twenty days, the prince-consort would not try to hear the case clearly." She bluntly gave their husband a blank look, and Princess Chang Le lowered her head and drank the tea in her hand.
"This matter must be discussed for a long time," Zhao Gui tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Mr. Liu has kindness to our Zhao family. My grandmother is healthy to this day. I can't sit still with the troubles of the Liu family. In addition, Ying'er's kid will not fight with the second son of the Liu family, and now she has become a brother. They are all family members. If something happens, we can't ignore it."
"Three days," Zhao Gui couldn't help but look at his wife again. Perhaps the princess's proposal just now was really a good choice. Isn't what Chen Shoude did in Sanyuan County just a frame-up? If he brought these charges back and gave him the right retribution, it would not be considered a harm to the heavens.
"Princess," Zhao Gui stopped the finger that was knocking, and confirmed to Princess Changle again: "You said that if we really did that, the emperor wouldn't blame him, right?"
Zhao Gui is not a kind person. If he solves a small person, he can end the case and put the trouble that the emperor puts on him. He wouldn't mind doing the last time.
"Big Young Master!" Without waiting for Princess Chang Le to answer, Li Tie, who was sent out to inquire about the news, first came back from outside, bowed and bowed to Zhao Guichang Le, and then replied softly: "Just just now, in the lobby of the county government, an imperial edict came. The supervisory envoy named Chen was imprisoned in the county prison. Now the county magistrate and supervisory envoy were all in the cage, and the county government was in chaos."
"Oh? That Chen Shoude was locked up by the emperor?" Zhao Gui couldn't help but turn his head to look at Princess Changle, her face full of surprise.
"Now, the princess must believe it," Princess Chang Le raised her head proudly and said, "It's not only this princess who thinks so, but also the emperor's brother, who also has such a mind. What's the use of an official who only knows how to be greedy for merit and advance, does not understand the current situation, but is still being used by others but still content with him?"
"I know how to do it!" Zhao Gui stood up from the chair and looked confident. He reached out to take the imperial edict from Princess Changle's hand and said softly to Li Tiexian: "Xiaoxian, call the young master and go with me to go to the county government."
"Oh, isn't this the Chief Executive Chen? Why are they locked up like us sinners?" In the county prison, Chen Shoude's prison and Liu Ertiao and Liu Wuchen approached. Seeing Chen Shoude wearing iron shackles, Liu Ertiao couldn't help but sarcastic: "It's earlier than I thought. Originally, Liu thought that Lord Chen would come in and accompany me tomorrow."
"It's you! Did you use any tricks? Otherwise, if I made such a great contribution, how could the emperor issue an order to detain me?! You think, is it you?!" Hearing Liu Ertiao's words, Chen Shoude, who was already a little lost, suddenly became crazy and rushed towards the prison where Liu Ertiao and the others were, holding the wooden fence blocking the cells, and questioned loudly.
"I am very ambitious and have no talent. I still don't know where I am wrong. Oh, it's rare to be an official to be yours." He looked at Chen Shoude with pity, and Liu Ertiao shook his head slightly. He had no brains at all, and he could only see the benefits when encountering problems. I really don't know how he, the supervisor, became the supervisor.
"What do you mean?" Chen Shoude couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked him.
"It's meaningless. I just want to remind Lord Chen. Did Lord Chen never feel that it was too early for you to come from Chang'an?" After saying that, he didn't look at Chen Shoude. Liu Ertiao stood sideways on a small wooden couch in prison, lying leisurely, crossing his legs and humming a small song, and narrowed his eyes and ignored Chen Shoude's intention.
One is not involved in marriage, the other is not a good deal. Liu Ertiao has no obligation or kindness to solve the doubts of this scapegoat. The words he said just now were just trying to make this supervisor who was greedy for merit and reckless, forcibly sent himself to the prison without discerning the truth, and suffered more torture.
"Time? Time?" Chen Shoude kept muttering. After Liu Ertiao's reminder, Chen Shoude suddenly remembered that Chen Shi collapsed in the "Liu Family Coal Floor" and when he received the news, it seemed that it was just around Chen Shi. How could this be possible?
Although Sanyuan and Chang'an are not far apart, they are always dozens of miles away. Even if they ride a strong horse, they can't cross the two places within half an hour. However, at the same time when the "Liu Family Coal Floor" collapsed, he obtained the information that might not be known even in Sanyuan. What does this mean?
I was used as a gun, and I was also the kind of death-lost gun that was dead but not alive.
After understanding this, Chen Shoude immediately collapsed on the ground, his heart squeezed.
