Chapter four hundred and seventy third death without proof
"The palace maid has been taken away by the prince, and we have been exposed."
In Li Anyan's house, a young man sat on the main seat, with Li Anyan below him looking respectful.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
The young man sighed and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that we can't kill all Li Shimin and his family in one go!"
Li Anyan hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, since the plan failed, Li Shimin will never let me go. To protect the safety of Your Highness, please leave Chang'an as soon as possible!"
"Back off!"
"Your Highness?"
"Don't worry, I have a way."
"In that case, take care of yourself, Your Highness!"
Li Anyan had no choice but to deal with this young man. His eyes were full of worries but he couldn't speak out, so he had no choice but to leave.
After Li Anyan had left, the young man knocked over the tea cup in front of him and all the tea in the cup fell on the carpet.
"Since I can't destroy your whole family, then let's do what happened with the Xuanwu Sect again! Li Shimin, I will make you regret it!"
"..."
Where did this person come from, and why did Li Anyan obey his advice?
Your Highness?
Could it be related to Prince Yin?
But what kind of bloodline does Prince Yin have? He must have died in the Xuanwu Gate Incident more than ten years ago!
The trouble in the palace was not over yet. Princess Wei had a miscarriage, and the four young princes and princesses also died from the poisonous "soup" because they were not treated in time.
Li Shimin was so angry that he ordered Li Daozong to arrest Li Anyan and blockade his mansion in order to destroy his entire family.
By the time Li Daozong arrived, everyone in Li Anyan's mansion had already dispersed, and only Li Anyan was waiting in the mansion with disheveled hair.
"Li Anyan?"
"Brother Daozong."
"Confused! Who did you suffer from? Why don't you tell me quickly so that His Majesty can spare the children of your family?"
Li Daozong pointed at him, his face looking very ugly.
Li Anyan smiled and said: "It's now too late."
Li Daozong shook his head and said, "If you don't tell me, I'm afraid that none of the women and children in your family will survive."
Li Anyan picked up the wine glass next to him and said, "In that case, Anyan will go ahead and drink with my brother in the next life!"
"Li Anyan! What are you going to do?"
Before he could stop him, Li Anyan had already drank the poisonous wine. When Li Daozong ran to him, Li Anyan had a look of pain on his face and lay on the ground rolling unbearably.
"Quick! Get a doctor!"
The doctor arrived late, but Li Anyan had already passed away. The poison had entered the seven holes in his abdomen and he bled to death.
When the news came back to the palace, Li Shimin scolded Li Daozong for his incompetence in doing things, and issued an imperial edict to arrest the remaining members of Li Anyan's mansion. No one could be spared.
Brothers Li Chengqian and Li Fangchen, who also received the news, were also very angry.
Li Anyan died so happily, and it is impossible to find out who was the instigator behind it. He wished that his bones and blood would be eaten by others.
After Li Tai learned about it, he closed his eyes and fainted.
White cloths were hung in the palace, white lanterns were lit in the palace of the Prince of Wei, the prince passed away, and the whole world mourned.
Li Shimin withdrew from court for three days and did not conduct state affairs.
There were thirty-seven members of Li Anyan's family. Except for the eldest son Li Chengde, all the others were captured and beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.
All ministers of civil and military affairs in the DPRK who were close to Li Anyan were implicated.
His wife, Mrs. Zheng, is the sister of the "Hidden Crown Princess" Zheng Guanyin.
Behind this, the Zheng family was the most unlucky. Among the Zheng family left after the Sui Dynasty, the highest official rank was no more than the fourth rank, and all of them were implicated.
Except for Zheng Guanyin, no one else could escape death.
The one who also had a hard time was naturally the "Hidden Crown Princess" Zheng Guanyin.
Now that he has lost his reward, he lives alone in Chang'an Gate, taking care of the children of Li Jiancheng who were lucky enough to survive under Li Shimin. Little did he know that a catastrophe was coming from heaven. Li Anyan, the former Yin Prince's general, wanted to carry out a treacherous strategy, but later hanged himself in the palace and died without any symptoms.
According to Li Shimin's cautious view, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Yin's lineage.
Investigate! Investigate the whole world!
As long as they are related to Prince Yin, all of them will be imprisoned and sentenced to death.
For a time, everyone in Chang'an was in danger, and the people even closed their doors for fear that their families would be implicated.
At the same time, a young man dressed as a beggar knelt down outside Prince Qin's palace.
"Young man Cheng De, please see His Highness the King of Qin!"
The guard outside the gate of Prince Qin's Mansion cast his cold gaze on this person, "Prince Qin, you are here to meet me when you meet me. Look at your shabby appearance, hurry up and get as far away as you can!"
But Cheng De never stood up, and was still kneeling like this, as if the person the guard was talking about was not him.
"What's the fuss about?"
A steward with a broken leg came out of the mansion and scolded the two guards.
The guard lowered his head and did not dare to answer. He only waited for the steward to finish scolding him before he explained: "Third Master, this beggar from whom I don't know where he came from is kneeling outside our Prince Qin's palace, shouting and asking to see His Highness the Prince of Qin."
The steward, who was called the Third Master, looked at Cheng De who was kneeling outside the mansion and said coldly: "Do you want to see His Highness King Qin?"
"Yes!" Cheng De was neither humble nor arrogant.
But the third master sneered, "You're worthy?"
Cheng De said: "Please let me know, sir. Cheng De does have something important to report to His Highness the King of Qin."
The third master shook his head, walked to Cheng De on crutches, and looked at him condescendingly, "Didn't you hear what the guard said just now? Get as far away as you can!"
A beggar of unknown origin actually wanted to see His Highness the King of Qin, and I don’t know who gave him the courage.
"Master Steward, I..."
The third master shouted: "No matter what you ask for, just the words "your origin is unknown" are enough for people to take you to prison and torture you severely. What's more, you obviously have hands and feet, but you are dressed like this.
People have to wonder what your purpose is!"
Cheng De shuddered. Just the words "go to prison" really made people a little scared.
The third master hit him with a cane angrily, "Why don't you leave quickly?"
Cheng De let out a long sigh and could only stand up and prepare to leave.
"Wait!" Third Master called to Cheng De, took out a small bag of money and put it in his hand.
"Take the money, change your clothes, and find a job for yourself."
"This...?" Cheng De didn't expect that this manager would still give him money.
"It's the third master's good intentions. If you ask me, a guy like this with unknown origins should be sent to prison!"
"Third Master, why are you doing this?"
The guard outside the door obviously couldn't bear to see the money given to Cheng De by the third master. He was just a beggar, lying at the door of Prince Qin's mansion. Who knew if he was someone with ulterior motives?
The Third Master chuckled at the two guards and said, "We are all hard-working people. It is not easy."
One of the guards curled his lips and said: "Third Master, you are the Duke of His Majesty. I don't know what kind of luck this beggar must have to meet this great good man like you."
The third master smiled and said nothing. A good person? He is not considered one.
Who is this third master? There is only one one-legged Duke in Chang'an. He is the "No. 3" of the Prince of Qin's Palace and a brave general on the battlefield!
Cheng De also heard the conversation between the guard and the third master. He had heard about this "third master" for a long time but had never seen him before.
Now that he saw it, he was a little surprised.
