Prince of the Tang Dynasty: Signing in began with harming Li Shimin

Chapter 383

Mingde Hall is the main hall of the East Palace, but it is now occupied by Li Yuan and his son.

Su Jing, who had nowhere to go, had no choice but to lead Xiao Guizi wandering around aimlessly.

The two passed through Fengyi Gate, stepped into Youchunfang, and came to the boundary of Chongxian Hall without knowing it.

Looking at the neatly arranged lanterns not far away, Su Jing waved his little hand and led Xiao Guizi straight to the dining hall of the Chongxian Hall.

At this time, in the canteen of Chongxian Pavilion.

Ma Zhou was sitting around a long table with more than ten students, throwing off his arms and eating.

Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai, who were still taking a break in the Su Mansion just now, have also returned to the East Palace to wait for orders.

After all, when Su Jing is not around, there is nothing wrong with going out for fun.

But if Su Jing still went his own way after returning to the palace, it would be the crime of leaving without authorization and dereliction of duty.

Although the two are close friends of Su Jing, they dare not be as unscrupulous as the founder of the country.

"Ugh!"

At this moment.

Ma Zhou sighed suddenly, put down his chopsticks and said quietly: "Since I entered the palace, every time we get together, General Zhao Quan will go to Your Highness to beg for a few jugs of fine wine.

But now the fine wine is still there, but the old man is nowhere to be seen, it makes me feel so sad..."

"Bang~"

"You old master Ma, why are you talking about such bad things for nothing!"

Xue Rengui slammed down the big porcelain bowl, only to feel that the food in front of him was suddenly tasteless.

Xi Junmai also glared at Ma Zhou in dissatisfaction, grabbed the flagon and drank it down in one gulp.

"Hehe~"

Seeing this, Ma Zhou knew he had made a mistake.

Sigh to cover up tears, and mourn the parting of the deceased.

"His Royal Highness is here!"

When everyone was full of grief, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone got up when they heard the words, and before they went out to greet them, they saw Su Jing walking quickly with his hands behind his back.

"Weichen Ma Zhou, Xue Rengui, Xi Junmai, Pei Xingjian...greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Don't be too polite, just sit down."

Su Jing waved his hands, walked to the empty space and sat down on his own.

He casually glanced at everyone, stared at Pei Xingjian and asked with a smile: "Pei Shouyue, what did you just say?

You actually call yourself a humble minister, did I hear correctly? "

Pei Xingjian blushed when he heard the words, puffed up his cheeks and argued anxiously: "This is what His Majesty gave you, I don't just talk about it!

If His Highness doesn't believe it, you can ask His Majesty to understand. "

"Oh~

Sure enough, he is still young, so embarrassment is of great use for a while! "

Su Jing smiled and sighed.

Pei Xingjian became more ashamed and annoyed when he heard about it.

Seeing this, Ma Zhou smiled lightly.

Grabbing Pei Xingjian who was about to get up to argue, he asked curiously: "Your Highness, do you have something to be handed over to Shou Yue?"

"clever!"

Su Jing gave a thumbs up with a smile, then shook his head again and said: "However, his temper is too impatient, which is really embarrassing.

Let her try again after the little girl returns. "

"How could this be so, Your Highness!"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly asked loudly.

Just blurted it out just now, and suddenly woke up suddenly.

Just looking at his performance at the moment, it seems that he is really as embarrassing as Su Jing said.

But he forgot that he is only eight years old now.

"okay.

Let's put this matter aside for the time being and discuss it later. "

Su Jing waved his hand, looked at Ma Zhou seriously and said, "Ma Zhou.

Li You had an accident in the inner courtyard of the palace, have you ever heard any rumors? "

Hearing this, Ma Zhou thought for a while, then frowned and replied, "Report to Your Highness.

That day, the minister was in the city to inquire about the dock, and he didn't know that something happened in the palace.

Only when rumors spread in the city did Wei Chen rush back to the palace.

It's a pity that all the people involved have been taken away by Qian Niuwei, and the minister didn't find any useful information. "

"Hey~

The Beishenfu changed its name now? "

Su Jing raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Rubbing his chin and thinking carefully, he suddenly frowned and asked: "Ma Zhou, just now you said that there were rumors in the city, and you rushed back to the palace just now.

Do you still remember where the rumors in the city came from? "

"Um?!

Damn!

I beg your Highness to forgive me for my dereliction of duty. "

Ma Zhou was startled when he heard this, and patted his forehead hard.

If Su Jing didn't mention it, he almost forgot about it.

Isn't this the clue to track down the person behind the scenes?

"okay!

There is no need to be courteous between you and me.

Come on, have you seen any clues? "

Su Jing waved his hand impatiently.

Ma Zhou cupped his hands in embarrassment and replied: "It was too urgent that day, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

However, Weichen vaguely remembered that the rumors seemed to come from Yakou. "

"Oh~

This was really beyond my expectations.

It seems that the person behind this really has some insight. "

Su Jing shook his head angrily, and said regretfully: "Before I returned to the palace, I originally wanted to use Cheng Chumo's hand to subdue the bastards in the capital.

It's a pity that it is really inconvenient to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan later, such matters involving the low class.

I never thought that just this negligence would be seized by the leader of the thieves.

Ma Zhou, I'm afraid you and I will meet our opponents this time.

If the palace expected nothing wrong.

This person must be extremely proficient in the way of the knight-errant, and he may have started in the grass.

You just order people to follow this clue to trace, I think there must be something to gain. "

Ma Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and solemnly reminded: "Your Highness.

Is it a bit too arbitrary to conclude that the thief started in Caomang based on this matter alone?

If the spies don't distinguish the true from the false, there will inevitably be twists and turns. "

"Hehe~

It seems that you, Mr. Ma, can't trust Bengong! "

"Wei Chen dare not."

Ma Zhou stood up and prayed.

Seeing this, Su Jing waved his hand and said seriously: "Ma Zhou.

With your intelligence, you should be able to guess the person who can strike in the palace, it must be the family officials and honored relatives.

And this kind of people have always regarded themselves very highly, and usually disdain to contact with low-level people.

Only those who become rich suddenly after becoming a half-way monk can put down their arrogance to negotiate with them.

Otherwise, even if they know that this force will be of great use, they will be as cautious as Ben Gong was at the beginning. "

Hearing this, Ma Zhou thought for a moment, nodded his head and said, "I understand.

Weichen will go to the city early tomorrow morning to send a message, so that the spies in the wine shop and tea house will pay more attention. "

Su Jing nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "This time is my fault, otherwise I would have caught the thief by the tail right now.

But fortunately, it is not too late, and you and I still have a chance to make amends.

Ma Zhou.

Do you still remember, who was the name of the person who drove you out? "

"Ok?"

A look of reminiscence flashed between Ma Zhou's eyebrows, and after a while he smiled and said: "His Royal Highness.

The little brother from Naya didn't tell the name of the official.

It's just that he is from Dongshiya, who came to drive the humble officials out of the house on behalf of Cui Xianshou, the villain. "

"Hahaha~"

Su Jing clapped his hands and laughed happily when he heard the words.

Then he reached out and patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder, and said jokingly, "Ma Zhou.

You will work hard tomorrow and take Pei Xingjian to Dongshi to look for this person.

Bengong still remembers that he is quite knowledgeable and able to distinguish right from wrong, he should not help the evildoers.

But before that, there is one piece of good news that I want to inform you.

Do you know where Cui Xianshou is now?

What kind of official position do you hold? "

Ma Zhou's face straightened, he gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice: "Even if Cui Xianshou is the third-rank governor of Shangzhou, I will avenge him one day!"

"Hehe~"

Su Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled, pretending to be mysterious and said: "Don't worry.

Cui Xianshou is only on the fourth rank now.

With your horse Zhou's ability, one day you will be able to surpass him.

But Ma Zhou.

This Cui Xianshou is in Yangzhou at the moment, and he is the head of the Shipping Department of Yangzhou City.

He is secretly collecting evidence of crimes from aristocratic families and merchants for the palace, also in order to accumulate wealth for the palace.

And a few days ago, thanks to his secret assistance, Bengong was able to win the Zheng Shanguo of the Zheng family in Xingyang.

It is also because of him that Cui Minganfang is subject to this palace everywhere.

Do you think that you still have a chance of revenge in this life? "

"This!!!"

Ma Zhou looked at Su Jing in surprise, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Xue Rengui and the others looked at Ma Zhou sympathetically, then bowed their heads and quietly stepped aside.

Seeing this, Su Jing smiled slightly, stepped forward and whispered, "There has been a change in the East Palace, keep an eye on Chang He secretly.

Except for Liu Rong, no one should know about this matter.

Now that Zhao Quan has gone, you are the only confidant in this Palace. "

Ma Zhou's pupils shrank suddenly, and he lowered his head and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this humble minister will live up to His Highness's trust."
