The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the prince will personally hear the case. By then...

When Zhao Chen said this, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Even Dai Zhou was stunned for a moment.

He didn't hear any news about the prince's involvement in the case.

How did Zhao Chen know?

The Crown Prince and I have always had grievances, and Duke Chen Guojunji will not let this matter go easily.

During the interrogation, you will be tortured severely. When the time comes, I hope you...

Zhao Chen! Dai Zhou suddenly shouted loudly, his expression cold and stern.

I hope you won't hold on. The person they want to deal with is me. No matter how you defend me, it won't change the fact that you have to surrender.

So, you can answer whatever he asks. Just say yes and put all the responsibility on me.

Understand! Zhao Chen's voice echoed in the interrogation room.

The angry look on Dai Zhou's face had already turned into a look of surprise.

Just now, he thought that Zhao Chen wanted these people in front of him to shoulder all the responsibilities.

Get him and Zhao Chen out of this matter.

Dai Zhou really didn't expect that Zhao Chen would let these people put all the responsibilities on himself.

Boss, we can't do this! the old shopkeeper and Zhao Chen shouted.

I'm the boss. Whatever I say is what I say. Don't forget, you all have to listen to me.

Don't worry, I'll be fine! Zhao Chen said to a few people, got up and walked out.

Boss! the old shopkeeper's shout came from behind.

…

Zhao Chen, do you know the consequences of doing this? Outside the cell in Dali Temple, Dai Zhou blocked Zhao Chen's way.

You said it yourself, the prince has a grudge against you, and Hou Junji wants to get rid of you quickly.

When you ask those people to interrogate them, they will answer whatever the prince asks. Then you may be charged with any crime.

You are looking for death! Dai Zhou was very angry and pointed at Zhao Chen

snorted.

Even Dai Zhou himself didn't understand why he was so angry.

Dai Shaoqing, I made you lose a lot of face before, why are you still caring about my life and death today? Zhao Chen asked Dai Zhou with a smile, looking at the buildings in front of him.

Me! Dai Zhou's expression froze.

Thank you! Zhao Chen and Dai Zhou cupped their hands and left with a smile.

Dai Zhou stood there, looking at Zhao Chen's back getting further and further away.

He didn't know why he cared about Zhao Chen's life or death.

Logically speaking, he is the one who has a grudge against Zhao Chen, and the most important thing is to prevent Zhao Chen from having a good death.

But unfortunately...

Lord Shaoqing, do you want those people to be tried first with punishment? A Yamen servant and Dai Zhou asked.

No need, wait until the prince comes to interrogate. Dai Zhou waved.

…

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Li Tai went to the palace.

After paying homage to Queen Changsun, Li Tai hurried to see the emperor.

Otherwise, we will not be able to catch up with the opportunity when the time comes.

In Ganquan Hall, the emperor was planning his next tour to the south of the Yangtze River.

Hou Junji and several officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment stood below for a long time.

Your Majesty, the news that Wangyou Baozi's buns poisoned people to death has spread throughout the city.

Relevant personnel have also been arrested in Dali Temple...

Since everyone is under control, it is natural that Dali Temple will try the case. The Ministry of Punishment is so concerned about this matter. The emperor stopped writing and looked at Li Daozong, the Minister of Punishment.

Your Majesty, the relevant personnel are under control, but the owner behind Wangyou Baozi Shop is Zhao Chen.

I'm worried that Dali Temple will not strictly examine this matter. Li Daozong cupped his hands and said.

Li Daozong came to talk about this matter at Li Tai's request.

As Jiangxia

Li Daozong, the king of the county, worked hard for the stability of the Tang Dynasty throughout his life.

Prince Li Tai asked him for help, but he had no reason to refuse.

Of course, Li Daozong had no good impression of Hou Junji.

Just like now, Li Daozong was standing far away from Hou Junji.

Dali Temple will not strictly examine this matter, so who do you think will strictly examine this matter? the emperor said, without any expression on his face.

The emperor had already heard about this matter yesterday.

The buns from Wangyou Bun Shop can kill people, which is a big deal.

The emperor also wanted to deal with it strictly and quickly, but the truth of the matter has not yet come out.

If this was handled incorrectly, would Zhao Chen still be able to cause trouble for himself?

This matter concerns Zhao Chen. It would be best if your Majesty strictly examines it.

I don't have time. The emperor waved his hand.

How could he have time to review this matter?

He was leaving Chang'an in a few days, so he couldn't explain the political affairs?

Then please ask the prince to interrogate this matter! Li Daozong said.

Prince?

Did Li Tai ask you to come? The emperor's eyes swept over the people in front of him, and he could not hide his sharp edge despite his calmness.

yes.

Your Majesty, as the crown prince, the prince always has to go through some things. How can he take charge of such a huge country in the future if he can't even solve a case?

I ask your Majesty to allow the prince to have full authority to handle this matter! Li Daozong and the emperor advised.

What about you, did you come here today to talk about this? the emperor asked the others.

I would like to ask your Majesty to allow His Highness the Crown Prince to have full authority to handle this matter. Hou Junji and others all shouted with the Emperor.

Okay, okay. The emperor said three good words in succession, but there was still no expression on his face.

Your Majesty, the prince wants to see you! A eunuch said to the emperor.

It came at just the right time.

Let him in.

…

When Li Tai walked into Ganquan Hall, he felt that there were many people in the hall.

The atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

He also expected that the emperor would be angry once he was asked to deal with the matter of poisoning people in the bun shop.

Everyone knew that he had conflicts with Zhao Chen.

If it was really him, Li Tai, who was interrogating the case, then Zhao Chen would definitely be implicated.

Could the emperor not be annoyed by such a blatant act of revenge?

My son, I pay homage to my father. Li Tai and the emperor shouted.

Prince, are you willing to go to Dali Temple to interrogate the bun poisoning case? The emperor looked at Li Tai and said calmly.

Li Tai was a little surprised. He thought he would be greeted by a violent storm from the emperor.

Don't you think the emperor would be so indifferent?

Could it be that the emperor no longer cares about Zhao Chen?

This is great news.

Li Tai thought to himself, and said to the emperor, My son also wants to take care of his father's worries, so he asked the emperor's uncle to be his lobbyist.

Share the worries? The emperor glanced at Li Tai, nodded, and said, Even so, I will agree with you and go to Dali Temple to interrogate the case.

Chen Guogong, please go with the prince.

My son, take your orders.

I obey the decree!

…

Li Tai was very surprised.

The emperor actually agreed to interrogate the case so easily.

Not even a word of caution.

Li Tai couldn't help but think that the emperor had given up on Zhao Chen.

In this case, then...

Your Highness, please don't take it lightly. It doesn't matter if we get the result of this case. If there is no result, His Majesty will not be able to explain it! Hou Junji poured cold water on Li Tai.

result?

They are just a few ordinary people. Let them resist the torture instruments of Dali Temple first. Li Tai said with a smile.

As long as we get the confessions of those shopkeepers and clerks, we can frame Zhao Chen.

How can Zhao Chen still struggle when the time comes?
