"The princess escorted the prince-consort into the city, and the horse was frightened and broke into pieces and destroyed your mansion. This is what I have given you!" Li Shimin stared at the eyes of Zheng Zhong, Cui Gan and others, and then spoke his words word by word.

"The horses were frightened!" As soon as Li Shimin said, everyone below was stunned. Even Li Xiu and Changsun Wuji did not expect that he would give such a reason that was not a reason. After all, this reason was too unreasonable. Cui Gan and his mansion were not in the same place. What kind of horses could destroy all the Thirteen Houses' mansions?

"Your Majesty, your statement is a bit too ridiculous, right?" Cui Gan couldn't help but ask with a gloomy face. It would be better for Li Shimin to insult them with such reasons. After all, even a three-year-old child would not believe such words.

"Hmph, I'm not asking for your opinions, and telling you my decision!" Li Shimin sneered and said very domineeringly. From the moment the aristocratic family sent people to assassinate Li Xiu, it was already considered that the aristocratic family had officially declared war on him. Since both sides were already enemies, he would not retreat a step further.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he seemed to have a casual look at Cheng Yaojin standing there next to him. As a result, the old fox, who is known as Li Shimin's number one favorite general, also understood it immediately. He smiled and said, "I have been fighting for life, and I ride more horses than people who kill them. It is very common for horses to be frightened. Today, the princess's horse is frightened. Maybe one day my horse will be frightened, so there is nothing to be frightened!"

When Cheng Yaojin talked about his horse being frightened, he actually bared his teeth and showed a bloody smile to Cui Gan, Zheng Zhong and others. Although he was the son-in-law of the Cui family, he was Li Shimin's confidant, so at such a critical moment, he has always been on Li Shimin's side.

Cheng Yaojin is known as the "Blood-handed butcher". His most famous record is the massacre of the city. Especially last time he and Hou Junji joined forces to throw smallpox in Tuyuhun, which resulted in the complete disappearance of Tuyuhun, which made his reputation reach its peak. Princess Pingyang's horse "feared" and Cui Gan and his mansion were destroyed. If a butcher horse like Cheng Yaojin was "feared", he might end up with a storm.

As the saying goes, when scholars meet soldiers, Cui Gan and Zheng Zhong face Cheng Yaojin's threat. Although they are angry, they can't help but have nothing to do with people like Cheng Yaojin. After all, they are not afraid of the battle in the court, but they are afraid that Cheng Yaojin will really be in trouble. Even if the other party dares to kill people, it will be enough for them to get into trouble with them.

"Okay, since you have no objection, then this matter has been settled. You guys should step back. I have to ask about the assassination of the prince-consort. I really don't have time to pay attention to these little things!" Li Shimin said at this point and waved his hand, not giving Cui Gan and the others a reason to argue.

"His Majesty……"

However, at this time, someone finally couldn't help but stand up, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Shimin and said, "Get back!"

Facing the angry Li Shimin, Cui Gan and others did not dare to say anything else. They could only retreat silently. In fact, the reason why they gave up so easily was mainly because of their lack of confidence. Especially when facing Li Xiu, some people had ghosts in their hearts. Even those who were like Cui Gan, they knew that Li Xiu's assassination had nothing to do with them.

Seeing Cui Gan and others leaving Liangyi Palace, Changsun Wuji suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, although you are relieved to deal with this matter like this, it will make the aristocratic family even more dissatisfied. I am afraid that something will happen in the future?"

"Hmph, they have even dared to assassinate my ministers, and there is nothing they can't do. I will never let go of this matter!" Li Shimin snorted coldly at this time. Since he had decided to completely eliminate the aristocratic family, Li Shimin did not intend to give the aristocratic family a good face.

"How dare they assassinate the prince-consort?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but show a shocked expression when he heard this. Although he vaguely saw something just now, Li Shimin and the others didn't say it clearly, so he didn't know that Li Xiu had encountered assassination.

"Yes, the bookmarks caught fire at the third update last night. Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, but he encountered an attack from a group of men in black outside the city." Li Xiu explained to Cheng Yaojin at this time that the other party was not only Li Shimin's confidant, but also had a good personal relationship with him, so there was no need to hide this matter from him.

"No wonder the eldest princess ruined the homes of Cui Gan and others. If I were me, I would probably really be unable to help but kill him and blood flowed into a river!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but look at Cui Gan and the others in shock and said, "He never dreamed that so many things happened overnight."

"Li Xiu, I think the aristocratic family will definitely not give up so much. I will send you some guards, as well as the book printing office, the money minting office and other places. We also need to be more vigilant!" At this time, Li Shimin ordered again. Although he was very domineering just now, suppressing more than a dozen officials representing the aristocratic family, with his understanding of the aristocratic family, the other party will definitely not be willing to do so, so they must be careful.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will pay more attention!" Li Xiu replied immediately.

Next, Li Shimin and Li Xiu and others discussed the matter again. The search for those men in black has also begun on a large scale. Although there is very little hope of catching people, they cannot give up. In addition, Dali Temple has also joined the investigation into the assassination of Li Xiu, and Li Xiu also received news that Princess Pingyang had already returned home at this time, which made him finally relieved.

I had been struggling for the middle of the night yesterday, and now I have been busy for most of the day, and Li Xiu was injured again, so I was sleepy at this time. Li Shimin also saw it, so he let him go back to rest. Naturally, he and Changsun Wuji will deal with the next thing.

So Li Xiu left Liangyi Hall, but unexpectedly Cheng Yaojin came out as well. He immediately took a few steps to catch up with Li Xiu and said, "Mr. Concubine, you were attacked yesterday seriously? Can you tell me in detail?"

"There are only a dozen guards left in the end. Even I shot and killed a few men in black with my own hands. The injuries on my arms were also left at that time. Old General, are you serious?" Li Xiu smiled bitterly at this time, and then he explained the detailed story of his attack yesterday.

"These corrupt scholars are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but they are more evil than anyone else when they start!" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but curse angrily after hearing this.

"Who said no? I survived this time thanks to General Xiang's rescue, otherwise it would be really dangerous." Li Xiu couldn't help but say with some fear at this time.
