Chapter 184: Destroy the Door (Countdown 10)

"Brother, it's not good, it's not good!"

Li Chengqian, who had just gotten up and was eating tofu brain and fried dough sticks after washing up, said slowly: "It's early in the morning, what happened to you?"

"Zhao Er is dead!"

"Zhao Er? Who is Zhao Er?"

"It's the person who was originally the apprentice of Chef Gaofeng from Dongshi Shiweitian, who was later poached by Yingbin Tower."

"Depending on your appearance, this Zhao Er was murdered, right?"

Li Ke nodded, and Li Chengqian continued: Since he was murdered, his own government will look for the murderer. Since he is not our employee, what does it have to do with us?"

"No, brother, if that's the case alone, do you think I'd come to you early in the morning?"

"Yes, what's going on?"

"That's how it is..."

It turned out that in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Zhao Er left home in anger by his sister-in-law, and went to Shiweitian to find Gao Feng. Gao Feng met Zhao Er in a room near the back door of the restaurant dedicated to employees' rest. During this period, he didn't know what he said, but heard Gao Feng scold Zhao Er for being ungrateful, heartless, and so on, and Zhao Er left Shiweitian.

Who knew that the next day, Zhao Er's elder brother Zhao Hanzi ran to Shi Weitian early in the morning to find Gao Feng and asked him where his younger brother was. Gao Feng said at that time that Zhao Er had left Shi Weitian yesterday and did not know his whereabouts. However, Zhao Hanzi insisted that it must be Shi Weitian and that he was Gao Feng lying. His younger brother obviously said that he was here to find Gao Feng the day before, but he did not go home until now. He also loudly asked Gao Feng if he was dealing with Zhao Er.

Of course, Gao Feng would not admit it, so there was a conflict. Zhao Hanzi took the opportunity to make a fuss about food, and was finally thrown out food, and the latter finally threatened to go to the government to file a complaint.

Everyone thought the matter was over, but early this morning, the person responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the restaurant found Zhao Er's body in a small alley behind the restaurant...

"Now, people from Chang'an County Government not only arrested Gao Feng, but also directly seized food as the sky. They are confronting our people!"

"Well? The Chang'an County Magistrate should know that food is your and my property, right? Where did he get the courage to seal the restaurant?"

"I don't know either, and I have seen it myself and told the county magistrate. Unfortunately, they don't give me such a face at all. They insist on sealing the restaurant, saying that our restaurant is suspected of a family massacre!"

"Well? Destroy the family? Is it not only Zhao Er who died?" Li Chengqian said in confusion.

"Oh, I can't explain it clearly for a while. Come with me and have a look!"

"Okay, then go and have a look!" Li Chengqian also felt something must be strange, so he got up and left the East Palace, and went to Shiweitian Restaurant in Dongcheng City with Li Ke.

When he arrived at the scene, Li Chengqian saw many yamen runners dressed in mistresses confronting the staff of the restaurant. The yamen runners were headed by an official who had three-inch green beard and looked at him about 30 years old, while the restaurant was headed by Zeng Mingyi.

"I advise you to give up resistance, otherwise no matter who is behind you, you will not be able to save you!"

"You are so brave. Even though you know whose industry this is, you still dare to directly seal the store without any discretion!"

"Hmph, I am doing everything based on the laws of the Tang Dynasty. If you are suspected of intentional murder, why can't I beg me to seal it?"

"Based on the one-sided words of a few irrelevant people, do you conclude that my food is related to Zhao Er's death?"

"Of course it's not their one-sided statement. I have mastered the conclusive evidence that you are a waste of life! I advise you to give up resistance again, otherwise..."

"What else?"

"Ah? You are down, pay homage to the Crown Prince!"

"The emperor has met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Greetings to the Crown Prince!"

Li Chengqian walked to the official with an unpleasant face and looked straight... It should be said that he looked up at the other party, his height was only as high as the other person's shoulders... and the other party looked at Li Chengqian without fear, as if he was not afraid of him, the prince!

"You just said that you have obtained conclusive evidence. Is it true that the lonely restaurant is careless?"

"Yes!"

"What you call human life is Zhao Er?"

"It's not just him!"

"Oh? Who else?"

"Including Zhao Er, his whole family, including two children who had just learned to walk, all five died of life!"

"Well? All the family is dead?"

"yes!"

"How did you die?"

"On the surface, it seems that the fire broke out at home, but in fact someone deliberately set fire and deliberately killed someone!"

"Are you the magistrate of Chang'an County?"

"It's the official!"

"May I have your name?"

"Secretary Liu Rengui!"

"Your name is Liu Rengui?" Li Chengqian was surprised when he heard the name of the county magistrate.

“That’s right!”

Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at him carefully again, nodded for a long time and said, "No wonder! But..."

In Li Chengqian's impression, Liu Rengui was a very important celebrity in the late Zhenguan period and even the Wu Emperor period. Wu Zetian even compared him with Xiao He, saying, "In the past, the Han Dynasty relied on Xiao He for his affairs in Guanzhong. Now, the Duke is still in the past. He wants to be virtuous and respectful, and sincere." This shows how capable he is.

But...How come Liu Rengui appears at the position of Chang'an County Magistrate?

Although he was puzzled why Liu Rengui was already the magistrate of Chang'an County at this time, Li Chengqian did not ask for the doubts in his heart, but turned around and said to Zeng Mingyi and others: "Okay, since the magistrate Liu said he had conclusive evidence, let him seal the shop!"

Li Chengqian's words made everyone stunned at first, and then looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, "Your Highness..."

"Does the words of the Lord work?" Seeing that everyone did not make way out of their words, Li Chengqian deliberately said with a stern face.

Although Zeng Mingyi and others were puzzled, they still retreated one by one. Liu Rengui also waved his hand, and the yamen runners behind him immediately stepped forward to guard the shop!

Li Chengqian looked at Liu Rengui and said seriously: "Since you said you have conclusive evidence, Gu will not ask more questions. However, Gu hopes that you will not let Gu down and finally give Gu a satisfactory explanation!"

Liu Rengui was a little surprised, not understanding why the prince said this, and he seemed to have confidence in himself in his words. However, despite his doubts, he still replied calmly: "I will handle it impartially!"

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Can Gu go and see the scene?"

"Okay, Your Highness, please follow the official!" Liu Rengui did not refuse Li Chengqian's request. He had reason to have evidence for the sealing of the store and would not be afraid of Li Chengqian. However, it does not mean that he really doesn't care about Li Chengqian's identity at all.

Check out this small request on the scene. For a prince, no one can refuse it in person!

"You can go home, you will be dealt with by yourself!" Li Chengqian turned his head and said to Zeng Ming and others, and then followed Liu Rengui to the murder scene behind the restaurant.

At this time, the scene was surrounded by many yamen runners, and Gao Feng, who was regarded as a suspect, was also taken aside. Seeing Li Chengqian coming, he immediately said anxiously: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I did not kill anyone, I did not kill anyone!"
