Li Longji frowned slightly, he put down the teacup, and said unhappily: "Then have you found out the identity of the thief?" ”

Li Canghai glanced at Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong looked indifferent, and his face did not change in the slightest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has not yet found out the identity of the thief leader. However, since the minister has caught a few thieves, he will definitely go all out to investigate this matter, please rest assured, Your Majesty! Li Canghai said solemnly.

Li Longji nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then find out the identity of the thief leader as soon as possible, I want to see who dares to rob things with me in this world!" ”

After moving his body a few times to make himself more comfortable, Li Longji continued: "In a few days, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve." Over the past year, all of you Aiqing have done your best for the Tang Dynasty and are very grateful. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the party will hold a banquet in the palace to comfort all Aiqing, and all Aiqing can bring their families to the palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers knelt down and thanked them.

"Do you Aiqing still have a plan to play? If not, then retreat! Li Longji waved his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play!" At this moment, Yang Guozhong walked out.

"What is the beginning of Aiqing?" Li Longji asked with a yawn.

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard a piece of news a few days ago. When Li Canghai was in Silla, he caught the head of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' thief, but he concealed it and did not report it! Yang Guozhong said.

As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar.

Everyone knows how terrifying the organization of 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' is, almost subverting the entire Tang Dynasty!

And Li Canghai actually caught the thief head of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', which is really a little unbelievable.

Even Li Longji was surprised, his brows were furrowed, 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' was always a heart disease for him.

Hearing that Li Canghai caught the thief's head, but he didn't report it, he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"Li Canghai, what Yang Aiqing said is true?" Li Longji stared at Li Canghai and asked.

Li Canghai's eyes were slightly cold, not many people knew about this matter, even Huang Fukun, who was in charge of guarding, only knew that the guard was an extremely important prisoner, as for how important, he didn't know anything at all.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has indeed caught the extremely important person of the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'." Li Canghai replied.

"Since you have caught the thief, why don't you tell Yu Zhen?" Li Longji's tone changed abruptly, and he began to be a little angry.

"Back to Your Majesty, although the minister caught the thief, there are still many suspicious things that have not been investigated, so I dare not take the liberty to accept Your Majesty." Li Canghai replied calmly.

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly and said, "Master Li, since you have caught the thief leader, what else is suspicious?" I think the most suspicious thing is why you are hiding a thief, right? Catching the head of the thief but not telling the saint, I wonder what Lord Li is thinking? ”

Li Canghai's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, staring at Yang Guozhong and said, "What does Lord Yang mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean, you don't know what you mean? You clearly caught the thief but didn't report it, do you have other plans, this is intriguing. Yang Guozhong stroked his beard, and his tone was slightly strange.

"So, Lord Yang thinks that I am hiding a thief?" Li Canghai sneered.

"Whether or not he is hiding a thief, Master Li knows better than anyone else in his heart. I would like to ask Master Li, if you don't have a secret thief, where is the thief now? Yang Guozhong asked sharply.

Li Longji also stared at Li Canghai, he stroked his beard, and said with a gloomy face: "Li Aiqing, I ask you, where is the thief now?" ”

Li Canghai sighed helplessly, and had to reply: "Back to Your Majesty, the thief leader is now in the camp of the Eastern Expedition, and General Huangfukun will guard it. The minister originally planned to use the thief leader as a bait to catch all the thieves, so as to hide him in the barracks, but he did not uphold His Majesty in time, hoping that His Majesty would give him the guilt. ”

"Lord Li, since you hold the thief head, you should hand it over to the saint to deal with, as long as you kill the thief head, the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' will naturally collapse." Yang Guozhong is colorful.

Li Longji nodded and said fiercely: "What Yang Aiqing said is very true, this thief has done such a rebellious thing, I want to break his body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word, the traitor has a huge power, if the thief head is easily transferred, I am afraid that the traitor will be exploited into the loophole. In the opinion of the ministers, it is the safest way to place them in the barracks. Li Canghai said.

"Hmph, listening to Lord Li say this, it seems that the Holy Imperial Forest Army and Long Wuwei are not as powerful as the Eastern Expedition army led by your Lord Li?" Yang Guozhong flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Lord Yang's words are too out of context, right? Master Li meant that putting the head of the thieves in the barracks to guard would prevent the thieves from being rescued. Lord Yang deliberately said that the Imperial Forest Army was inferior to the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which was really ridiculous! Cui Lian said coldly.

Yang Guozhong glared at Cui Lian in disgust, and snorted: "No matter how powerful the thieves are, they are just clowns who jump off the beam, what kind of waves can they make?" Master Cui couldn't help but think too much. ”

After a pause, Yang Guozhong continued: "What's more, the Holy Lord wants to behead him for public display, just to kill chickens and monkeys. If the execution is carried out in the barracks, how can it have a deterrent effect? ”

"What Lord Yang said is very true, and the minister seconded it!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

A group of Yang Guozhong's supporters seconded the proposal, praising Yang Guozhong's loyalty, and Li Canghai, who listened, turned sour water in his stomach.

Li Longji frowned, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say it anymore, since the thief leader has been caught, hand it over to Long Wuwei and behead him on a certain day!" ”

"Your Majesty! The minister still doesn't know what to say or not. Yang Guozhong said again.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, if the execution is carried out at this time, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate, right?" In the courtier's opinion, it is better to leave his life for the time being, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, it is not too late to deal with it. Yang Guozhong said respectfully.

Li Longji thought about it and felt that what Yang Guozhong said was reasonable, after all, this was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and if he saw blood, it would be somewhat unlucky.

Anyway, the head of the thief has been arrested, and the execution is only a matter of time, and there is no hurry.

Thinking of this, Li Longji nodded and said, "According to what Yang Aiqing said, it will be handed over to Long Wuwei to be strictly guarded, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be beheaded!" ”

Li Canghai, who had not spoken, stared at Yang Guozhong for a long time before bowing down and saying, "The minister respectfully obeys the holy decree." ”

After retiring from the court, the ministers left the hall one after another.

Li Yu walked up to Li Canghai, touched his forehead and said, "Sir, aren't you planning to use Qin He to wipe out the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu'?" What should I do now? ”

Li Canghai looked at Yang Guozhong's figure of being surrounded by ministers and leaving, and frowned: "The Holy Lord has already spoken, and I have no other way." Fortunately, Yang Guozhong still didn't know that Qin He's identity was the prince's housekeeper, otherwise it would be a battle of words. (To be continued.) )
