In the end, the news of Jiang Yan's death was not covered up.
In the end, it reached Li Shi Min!
This made Li Shi Min furious. As an official of the imperial court, there was actually such a traitor who killed him just like that. Moreover, it was a deliberate murder.
This was simply a challenge to the dignity of the imperial court. During Li Shiming's reign, such a situation rarely occurred.
Jiang Yan had been killed by the Emperor, but the soldiers outside didn't notice anything wrong. This made Li Shiming feel that there must be something strange about it.
There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation!
He immediately summoned the official in charge of Jiang Yan's case and the coroners.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Yan died because his throat was directly broken.”The coroner answered carefully. His body trembled. After all, he was facing a Saint.
Even if he was the most outstanding wise ruler in history.
However, it still made him feel afraid!
"So, it was a person with strong martial arts who attacked.”The coroner continued," Before the deceased died, his face was filled with shock and fear. Therefore, he must have felt a great shock when facing this person."”
"Moreover…"
The coroner looked troubled.
The official stood at the side, his expression ugly as he glanced at Li Shimin.
Li Shi Min saw some clues and waved his hand,"Tell me clearly. Don't hide anything!”
The coroner trembled and looked at the official. The official hesitated, but he nodded in fear of the Emperor's wrath.
The coroner immediately took out a roll of rice paper from his pocket. It seemed to have been soaked by water.
"Your Majesty, this commoner dissected Jiang Yan's corpse. It's in his stomach. It seems that he was afraid of being discovered, so he ate it directly.”
Li Shi Min raised his eyebrows and looked at the expressions of these people. He was puzzled.
Then, he ordered the eunuch to go and get it!
The eunuch immediately took the Xuan paper over. Because it had already dried, the Xuan paper appeared a little rough.
However, because it had been eaten, the words on it were a little blurry, but they could still be seen vaguely.
"This handwriting."
Li Shi Min looked at the handwriting on it and found it familiar.
Then, he carefully read the contents of the note." Go and tear down the Sparrow Immortal's Restaurant. I guarantee that you will be promoted to a second rank official position. This matter will be known to the heavens and the earth, and you and I will know. If you dare to reveal anything, kill without mercy!”
The last signature was a little unclear.
However, those who dared to call themselves this prince were definitely his sons in the palace.
Li Shiming frowned. This matter actually involved his sons, but he stared at the note carefully.
The name had been erased, but the word 'Tai' could be vaguely seen.
Li Tai!
A name flashed in Li Shi Min's mind without hesitation.
It was no wonder that the officials and coroners were in such a difficult position. They must have seen through some of the problems, but they could no longer care about it.
That was why they claimed that they couldn't find the murderer. It was probably a vendetta.
He didn't want to involve the princes in this problem.
Li Shi Min had a flash of inspiration. He was wondering why the handwriting was so familiar…Now that there was a hint, the handwriting was exactly the same as Li Tai's.
As his most beloved son, how could he not be familiar with Li Tai's handwriting?
It was confirmed to be Li Tai!
However, why would Li Tai get involved in this matter? Moreover, what kind of thing was the Sparrow Immortal Restaurant? Why would Li Tai hate it so much?
He even used his authority to order the Minister to tear down the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant.
"Do you know what the Vermillion Bird Immortal Tower is?”
Li Shi Min gestured for the eunuch to keep the note and then asked those people.
"I don't know."
The coroner shook his head.
One of the officials stood out."I heard that the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant is owned by a shopkeeper surnamed Yang. It was unknown before, but later. The business in his shop suddenly started to pick up. Moreover, it was bustling with noise and was welcomed by countless guests. Rumor had it that the food in his shop was delicious. If you eat it once, you will have no regrets in life."
"Unfortunately, the prices inside are quite shocking, so I have never been there.”the official explained.
"There's such a thing?" Li Shi Min was surprised.”
"Indeed. I heard that the shopkeeper has many rules in the shop. If they did not abide by it, they would never receive them. Even so, there were still countless people who rushed over.”"That's why the business of the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant has been thriving," said the official.”
He was smart enough not to mention Li Tai. Li Shiming had suddenly brought up the Sparrow Immortal Tower because he wanted to know more about it.
Li Shi Min nodded. The Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant had indeed piqued his interest. Only the food was extremely delicious.
However, no matter how delicious the food was, could it compare to the delicacies in the palace?
However, this matter had already implicated Li Tai.
Li Shi Min's expression was calm, but he was thinking about Li Tai in his mind.
Why would he have a conflict with a restaurant like the Vermillion Bird Immortal Restaurant?
He even asked people to tear it down.
Moreover, Jiang Yan's death was also directed at Li Tai.
Although Li Shiming didn't have much evidence, he could basically guess.
"This Li Tai…"
Li Shi Min let out a deep breath. He thought of the clever and clever Li Tai in front of him, but what he was doing now made him feel a little unfamiliar.
Such ruthlessness!
It was true that the emperor was ruthless, but it also depended on the target. He still needed to have a benevolent heart towards the people.
He could already understand what Li Tai was thinking.
Originally, Li Tai's status was extremely high in Li Shiming's heart, but now that this matter had been stirred up, Li Shiming was extremely displeased.
However, he didn't call Li Tai over to ask about it for the time being. Instead, he wanted to see what kind of magical place this Sparrow Immortal Restaurant was.
Perhaps he could gather some clues there.
