Chapter 1888 I’ll kill you
Li Shen had a proud look on his face. After refuting Liu Shi, he turned back to look at Li Zhi and gave Li Zhi a look that said, "I understand you."
“Ninth brother, tell me if what I said is right, he actually dared to look down on you, we are descendants of the royal family.
How could you ignore the Li Tang dynasty and our people for your own selfish reasons?
He is judging others by his own standards. "
"That is not what I meant. What I meant was..."
Without waiting for Liu Shi to explain, Li Shen interrupted again:
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more. This matter still needs to be decided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Prince Jin, are you willing to take on this case?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"Brother Jiu, you will agree~~~" Li Shen said from the side.
"I am willing to share the worries of the court. I have no choice but to do so. I will never deliberately find excuses to refuse or desert the battlefield.
As a prince, retreating when faced with difficulties is a disgrace to our royal family.
Your Highness, rest assured, I will never be partial or corrupt, and will handle this fairly."
Li Zhi finally bowed and said viciously to Li Shen.
He had no choice. He was already trapped by Li Shen. If he disagreed, he would lose face.
I never expected that I would be tricked by this bastard. Li Zhi was filled with anger.
"Okay, since the Prince of Jin is willing to help the court, he will be the chief judge of this case, and the Dali Temple, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice will assist in handling this case.
We must get to the bottom of this case and rectify the situation.”
"Your Highness obeys your orders."
Several people saluted.
"Retire~~~~~~"
With Wang Zhong's loud chant, the court meeting ended and all officials retreated like a tide.
Princes Li Shen and others walked in front.
"Haha, Your Highness Prince Ji, you really have a good way."
Changsun Wuji, who came out with them, said to Li Shen with a smile.
"Oh, uncle, you are too kind. I don't have any tricks. I am just trying to purge corrupt officials from the court.
Although I have always been reluctant to manage state affairs, the people of this world are all the people of my Li family, so I have to manage them. "
Li Shen turned around and saw that it was Zhangsun Wuji, and his face immediately became full of sorrow and blame.
"Haha, Your Highness Prince Ji really loves the people like his own children. I admire you. But I am confused as to why all of them have the last name Liu?
Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ji is seeking revenge?"
Hearing Li Shen's pretentious words, Changsun Wuji laughed out loud twice.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? How can you take revenge? It's just a game of mine."
"Game?" When Changsun Wuji heard Li Shen talking about games, he was a little curious.
Li Shen nodded and explained:
"Yes, it's the game. I've been studying the clan history recently and posted the 293 surnames on a wall.
Then I will use the crossbow to shoot arrows from a hundred paces away. For every surname hit, I will guess how many officials have this surname.
Unfortunately, the Liu family was hit on the first try. I guessed the number was fifty, so I sent someone to investigate.
If the number is less than five, I will be considered to have guessed correctly. If it is greater than five, I will reward them with money.
Who knew that this investigation would reveal so many people breaking the law? It really shocked me.
Now that the truth has been uncovered, I cannot sit back and do nothing but report this to the Crown Prince.
Hey, uncle, you don’t know that I guessed wrong this time. I will have to reward you when I go back.
But I won’t be wrong next time.”
Li Shen sounded a little regretful and heartbroken at the end, as if he was worried about his money.
But Changsun Wuji frowned when he heard this. Is this how Prince Ji plays the game?
If this gets out, all the officials in the court will be in danger.
The vast majority of those who were able to serve in the court were listed in the clan records.
If King Ji checked one surname every time he shot an arrow, how many people would be found out?
"Clan Records" records 293 surnames and 1,651 families. Is King Ji crazy?
Changsun Wuji's mind raced. Their family was ranked second in the clan history and was also on the list.
Could it be that Your Majesty instructed Prince Ji to do this?
He looked carefully at Li Shen's expression, hoping to find the answer.
But Li Shen still had a smile on his face.
"Your Highness Prince Ji is indeed in a good mood. I hope that if Your Highness Prince Ji chooses my Changsun family, he will show mercy."
Changsun Wuji gave in, which was beyond Li Shen's expectation.
Shouldn't this old man be making some sarcastic remarks to me?
"Uncle, what are you talking about? We are all family. How can I investigate the Changsun family?
If something is really found out, I am worried that my mother will worry.
So uncle, don’t worry.”
Regardless of whether it is true or false, Li Shen still has to speak beautifully.
"Then I would like to thank Your Highness Prince Ji. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Originally, Changsun Wuji really wanted to squeeze Li Shen, but he was shocked by Li Shen's action.
He now needs to go back and think about whether what Li Shen said is true, and whether this matter has anything to do with His Majesty.
The crown prince is about to ascend the throne, and it is not impossible for him to clean up the bureaucracy and rectify the government.
The reason for letting Prince Ji do it was probably because they were afraid of causing turmoil in the court.
"Then uncle will get busy first." Li Shen nodded.
Most people had left, and Li Shen was about to leave the palace. However, when he turned around, he saw Li Tai and Li Zhi standing behind him, which scared Li Shen.
"Emma, are the two brothers walking without making any sound?" (Tomato Novel Free Reading)
"Li Shen, I didn't expect you to be so insidious." Li Zhi looked at Li Shen with a fierce look on his face.
"What do you mean, Brother Jiu? I don't understand." Li Shen looked confused.
"Humph, when did I say I would preside over this case? You know my relationship with the Liu family, yet you still want me to judge it.
What exactly are you planning?
You want me to turn against the Liu family, right?" Li Zhi became even angrier when he saw Li Shen's expression and shouted angrily.
Li Shen's ears were ringing from the shock, and he dug his ears with his fingers:
"Since Brother Nine has already guessed it, why bother asking? It seems so ungentlemanly.
I've already said it's insidious, so you should pretend to be ignorant even though you know the truth. Brother Jiu, it's wrong for you to do this.
I don’t know how to answer this.
You should have been more vague. I allow you to ask again."
"I...Go to hell." Li Zhi was so angry at Li Shen that he kicked Li Shen.
Li Shen dodged it and then raised his hand and punched Li Zhi in the face.
Li Zhi already had an injury on his buttocks which had not yet healed, and this time he was kicked with resentment, causing his lower body to become unstable.
In addition, he did not expect that Li Shen could actually dodge and counterattack immediately.
Li Shen's punch hit Li Zhi's face hard, and it was too late for Li Tai to stop him.
"Ah~~~~"
Li Zhi screamed and stumbled to the ground.
"Your father, you dare to hit me? I will kill you."
