Chapter 82 Great Memory Restoration Technique
Li Xiang briefly explained the matter to Sun Simiao, and Sun immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
This is really a big deal. If it gets serious, he might even be implicated in it.
Li Chengqian did not dare to be negligent, as it concerned the life safety of his two younger sisters. His eyes almost popped out and he stared at the door of Shang Pharmacy with bloodshot eyes.
If it wasn't inappropriate, he would have wanted to pick up a sword and chop everyone in Shang Pharmacy to pieces.
After several people entered Shang Pharmacy, Li Xiang ordered his men to take control of all the people in Shang Pharmacy.
Several eunuchs and imperial doctors in the Shang Pharmacy didn't know what was going on and looked at the prince who suddenly appeared in confusion.
"Where are the residues of the medicine given to the two princesses this morning?" Li Xiang asked in a deep voice.
"It's all here." Qian Shu didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately knew that this matter was related to the princess, so he immediately took out the medicinal residue that had been filed.
In order to prevent the imperial physicians from tampering with the procedures, in the Shang Pharmacy, prescribing, picking and decocting medicines were done by the imperial physicians and eunuchs respectively. The two groups were not subordinate to each other and no one had any control over anyone else.
The medicinal residues are kept separately after each decoction, and detailed records are kept. They are cleaned up together every once in a while. This is also a means for the imperial doctors to protect themselves.
If something really goes wrong, you can check the drug residue and the prescription separately, and find the person who has the problem.
Li Xiang glanced at Sun Simiao. Old Sun stepped forward and after a careful inspection, he said to Li Xiang: "This medicine is not right. There is a little more cinnamon twigs than what is written on the prescription!"
When Qian Shu heard this, he fell to his knees.
"Your Highness is wise, I...I really don't know!"
He immediately took out the prescription from the side, handed it to Sun Simiao and said, "The prescription written by Master Sun is right here. I dare not change it at all!"
"Whether you know or not, you have to torture them to find out."
Li Chengqian snorted coldly.
When Qian Shu heard this, he felt dizzy.
Torture, damn, this is unfair...
This matter has nothing to do with him at all, it's completely an unprovoked disaster!
Li Xiang stopped his father. After all, Qian Shu had met him once before and had also spoken for Li Mingda in the Lizheng Hall before.
Besides, due to the rules of Shang Pharmacy, if there was a problem with the drug residue, the blame could not be put on the imperial physician.
Even the eunuchs were not under Qian Shu's supervision, but were managed by the foreman of the Shangyao Bureau among the eunuchs.
So he asked Qian Shu softly, "Who prepared this medicine today?"
"It's Liu Li, the foreman of the eunuchs at the Shang Pharmacy." Qian Shu said immediately.
"Where is Liu Li?" Li Xiang looked up and asked.
Everyone looked at each other, Liu Li was not among them.
Seeing that Li Chengqian's face looked worse and worse, everyone's heart was in their throat.
Just at this moment, a eunuch walked in from outside.
When Qian Shu saw him, he shouted, "Prince! This is Liu Li!"
Liu Li was stunned when he heard Qian Shu's accusation. He looked more carefully and saw that the prince was taking Sun Simiao to the Shang Pharmacy, and next to them were the dregs of medicine left over from the morning decoction.
broken!
Something happened!
His heart skipped a beat and he turned and ran.
"catch him!"
Li Xiang roared and started chasing after him.
Originally, I was having a headache about how to interrogate them. Although the problem was with the eunuchs, there were more than ten eunuchs in Shang Pharmacy. If I interrogate them one by one, it would be a waste of time. The mastermind behind the scenes might get wind of it and slip away early.
As soon as Liu Li ran away feeling guilty, he knew who had committed the crime.
After all, Liu Li was an eunuch in the Shang Pharmacy, and he was not good at running. He ran only a few steps before he was pinned to the ground by the brothers Li Jingren and Cheng Chubi.
"Tell me! Who ordered you to do that?" Li Chengqian went up and kicked him, but was stopped by Li Xiang before he could hit him.
But we can't let him kick randomly. What if he kicks someone wrong and causes internal injuries and death?
Under Li Chengqian's puzzled gaze, Li Xiang pulled out the long sword from the waist of a black-armored guard beside him, grabbed Liu Li's ear, and cut it off with one sword.
"Ah-ah-it's the King of Wei! It's the King of Wei!"
Liu Li cried out in pain, pointing at Li Tai at random.
Hearing Liu Li's words, Li Chengqian smiled disdainfully.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
You said that the King of Wei harmed my elder brother, and I could still believe it, but you said that he harmed his two sisters who were born to the same mother?
Even when they were at loggerheads, Li Chengqian never doubted Li Tai's feelings for Li Lizhi.
Li Xiang stuffed the ear into Liu Li's mouth with an expressionless face and pushed it away with the hilt of his sword.
Everyone looked at Li Xiang's expressionless face and felt a sharp pain in their hearts.
Li Jingren and the other two looked at each other, and all of them felt sincere admiration in their hearts.
Although my brother is only twelve years old, his ruthlessness... is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If I only admired Li Xiang before, now my respect is mixed with a bit of fear.
He was not in a hurry to interrogate him, but said to Li Jingren: "Jingren, take off his pants!"
Li Jingren didn't know what Li Xiang meant, but he still obeyed and did as he was told.
Li Xiang calmly stretched out his finger and flicked the sword, making a crisp sword sound.
He chuckled and said to Cheng Chubi, "Chubi, go get some salt!"
Cheng Chubi obeyed the order and soon got a bag of salt from the Shang Pharmacy.
"Press it!" Li Xiangqing shouted.
Several black-armored guards did not dare to delay and immediately held Liu Li down.
Li Xiang scraped Liu Li's thigh with his long sword, scraping off a layer of skin. He sprinkled salt on Liu Li's tender skinned flesh. The pain caused by the salt on the wound made him feel so painful that he screamed in pain and begged for mercy.
Fortunately, the four black-armored guards were very strong and prevented him from breaking free.
Li Chengqian, who was standing by, saw the terrifyingly calm Li Xiang and suddenly felt that this son was very strange...
Even if he was as hot-tempered as he was, he couldn't torture others without changing his expression, let alone the fact that the boy in front of him was only twelve years old?
I'm afraid that only my father had such a mentality back then... Li Chengqian muttered in his heart.
Li Xiang grabbed Liu Li's hair and said in a cold voice: "I will ask you one question, and you answer it. If you tell the truth, I may be able to give you a quick death. Otherwise, I have ninety-nine ways to make you suffer unbearably."
Liu Li nodded hurriedly.
Damn it, how dare you murder my aunt?
Li Xiang really wanted to skin him alive.
He is not bragging. To be honest, he knows more than ninety-nine memory restoration techniques.
"Who sent you here?" Li Xiang asked.
"It's the King of Wei, it's the King of Wei..." Liu Li replied immediately.
"What's your name?" Li Xiang asked again.
"Liu Li." Liu Li replied.
"What position in the palace?" Li Xiang asked again.
"The head manager of Shang Pharmacy..." Liu Li replied.
"In which year did you enter the palace?" Li Xiang did not give him any pause and asked questions like a string of bullets.
"The sixth year of Wude." Liu Li replied.
"How many years have you been in the palace?" Li Xiang asked with narrowed eyes.
"Twenty years." Liu Li answered again.
Li Xiang asked more than ten questions and then asked, "What position do you hold in the palace?" "The head waiter of the Shang Pharmacy..."
Before he could finish his answer, Li Xiang suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Who sent you?"
"King of Han..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Li's eyes widened.
He lost his mind and inadvertently sold out the King of Han.
"No, it's the King of Wei! It's the King of Wei!" He still wanted to make amends.
Li Xiang smiled and reached out to pat Liu Li on the face.
It seems that this memory recovery technique is still very useful...
He learned this from the KGB in his previous life, and paid ten bottles of Sulianhong vodka and two boxes of caviar for it.
The interrogation method is the basis of torture. This intermittent and repeated interrogation involves asking the same question again after a period of time, or repeatedly interrogating the same question from different angles, so that the target cannot take too many things into consideration and thus reveal his true colors.
When Liu Li mentioned the King of Han, he already believed it 70%.
Apart from this evil BYD, no one would be disgusting enough to harm two princesses.
He also had his own calculations in mind. In history, Li Yuanchang was the mastermind who instigated Li Chengqian to rebel, and Li Lizhi and Li Mingda were the decisive figures in bridging the relationship between the emperor and the prince. This was his motive for committing the crime.
Even if it wasn't Li Yuanchang, Li Xiang would take this opportunity to smear shit on his ass.
You're the one who always encourages my dad to rebel, right?
You just want to force a little boy girl on my dad, right?
As for Li Tai...
Even Li Chengqian, whose IQ was reduced by 100 due to his high state, didn't believe his nonsense, let alone Li Xiang, who was so cunning.
He did not comment on Liu Li's words, grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on Liu Li's wound again.
Accompanied by a burst of howling, Li Xiang started a new round of interrogation.
It was still the same old question. When the questions were almost the same, Li Xiang suddenly asked again: "Why did the King of Han send you here?"
"Change the prescription..."
Liu Li had already accepted his fate. He struggled and said, "What do you want to know? I'll tell you. I just want to die quickly!"
"Is the eunuch who delivered the medicine your accomplice?" Li Xiang asked in a deep voice.
Liu Li was stunned: "The eunuch who delivered the medicine?"
Li Xiang told him what happened in the morning. Liu Li angrily cursed: "You damned bastard, you are so cowardly and ruined my plan!"
"Is he your accomplice?" Li Xiang asked again.
Who would have thought that Liu Li would laugh bitterly and say: "I thought that letting an uninformed person deliver the medicine would reduce some flaws and reduce your suspicion. I never expected that the matter would be ruined by him..."
Li Xiang:?
So that guy doesn't know anything at all?
Then he has nothing to hide, why is he so panicked...
His first reaction was disbelief, but looking at Liu Li's expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it at all.
Forget it, let Wang De deal with this matter. He is only responsible for interrogating Liu Li and finding out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Besides, if there is a thief in your eunuch team, you can't let me, a grandson of the emperor, clean up your mess, right? That's so inappropriate!
Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had discovered that the mastermind behind the scenes was the King of Han, Li Yuanchang, he could go and ask Li Shimin for instructions to close the net.
When he looked up, he found that Li Chengqian was gone.
"Where is my father?" he asked Li Jingren.
"I don't know." Li Jingren scratched his head.
"The prince just left, and he said he wanted to find Li Yuan... and settle accounts with the King of Han."
Cheng Chubi took back his words halfway through. After all, King Han Li Yuanchang was a prince and he could not call him by his name.
Fuck...
Li Xiang's heart tightened and his head buzzed.
Why are you going to settle accounts with Li Yuanchang? You let him run away again...
He didn’t even bring a guard, but Li Yuanchang did have guards!
Can you fucking beat him?
He immediately stood up and said to Li Jingren and others, "Take this beast away first and keep him under strict guard here. I will go find Aung!"
After saying that, Li Xiang turned around and ran away.
There is no time to lose, we must not let Li Yuanchang slip away...
When passing by Qianhua Gate, Li Xiang heard someone calling him, and when he looked up he saw Li Zhi.
Seeing that Li Xiang was covered in blood and looked anxious, Li Zhi couldn't help but shudder. He stepped forward and asked with concern: "Xiang'er, what happened to you?"
"Uncle Yao?"
When Li Xiang saw Li Zhi, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior.
"Hurry, there's no time to explain. My father just left the palace in a hurry to settle accounts with the King of Han. Go and stop him!"
When Li Zhi heard this, he immediately thought of Li Chengqian, who was in a state of chaos. His elder brother's furious look made him shudder again.
"Me? I stop my brother?"
He didn't want to go at all. What did the Prince beating the King of Han have to do with him?
When gods fight, mortals suffer. He knows his elder brother's temper best. When he is angry, you can't try to persuade him. Anyone who tries to persuade him will be beaten.
"This is inappropriate, isn't it? Why did my elder brother want to fight the King of Han? He is my uncle. On one side is my elder brother, and on the other side is my uncle. I can't afford to offend either of them..."
Li Zhi still wanted to shirk responsibility, the main reason was that he didn't want to die from an unknown AOE.
"Why?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he said it, Li Xiang got angry: "Uncle, you don't know that Li Yuanchang ordered someone to tamper with the prescriptions of the two aunts. If it weren't for my nephew's vigilance, I'm afraid that Aunt Changle and Aunt Jinyang would have been killed by the thieves..."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head.
He stared with disbelief and asked: "What did you say? Say it again?!"
Li Xiang thought he didn't understand, so he repeated it to him again.
Li Zhi listened halfway and turned and ran.
When he ran to the door, he snatched the sword from the palace guard's waist, forced the guard to dismount, and then jumped onto the horse's back with a somersault. His movements were so quick and neat, without any delay.
There is no trace of the grumpy look from before.
Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Zhi leaving the palace.
Uncle Yao should have some sense of propriety and be able to stop the furious father, right?
Now that Li Zhi had stepped forward, Li Xiang felt relieved.
As the saying goes, brothers fight together to fight a tiger. Even if Li Chengqian is in trouble, he will have a helper when he faces the guards of the King of Han.
——The guards of the King of Han wouldn’t be so arrogant as to dare to beat the Crown Prince, right?
He did not dare to delay and immediately ran towards the Liangyi Palace.
People still need to be captured. The most urgent task is to let Li Shimin know about this matter as soon as possible, whether by sending troops or in any other way, the main culprit Li Yuanchang must be brought to justice as soon as possible.
He was still wondering in his heart while running.
Is it really that simple?
Is there really only one Li Yuanchang?
