    When Huang Junming heard Li Shimin's shouting behind him, he turned around expressionlessly, stared at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, since I came to Tang Dynasty from poverty, I have never been so angry. Please forgive me.  The poor Taoist is so arrogant. The blood of the Taoist from Tianxian Palace cannot be shed in vain!"

    As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin suddenly felt that the sometimes lazy, sometimes smart immortal master in front of him became strange.  While he was handling government affairs in the palace, he found out that the Tianxian Palace's money had been robbed and the Taoist's death was reported, so he immediately rushed to the Tianxian Palace, fearing that Huang Junming would do something as a result.

    “The memorial that Li Shimin saw was more than twice as detailed as the letter that Huang Junming saw.  The two Taoists whose money was robbed were not so-called bandits or gangsters, but serious officers and soldiers.  Although Li Shimin still doesn't know which army the officers and soldiers who paid the money and food belong to, there are only a few troops in this line.  It is also quite convenient to check.

    However, it is not a good thing to say that the charity money is intercepted by the own army. At this time when the whole country is working together to prepare for the locust plague in the coming year, if the army intercepts the charity money, it is a huge slap in the face.  On the face of Tang Guanfu.  Neither the local officials nor Li Shimin, the leader of the country, could tell Huang Junming this reason. Some things are the same whether in modern times or in ancient times. Big things are reduced to trivial matters.  The military is the most basic component of a country, and it is supposed to protect national property from loss.  But now they have become gangsters who are greedy for money, steal money and kill people.  If this word gets out.  How do the people view the government?  What do you think of the military?  Now the Tang Dynasty is in a situation surrounded by powerful enemies. If the prestige of the army is reduced, how can we make the people feel at ease?

    Moreover, the prestige of Taoism, especially Tianxian Palace, is at its peak now, and it has considerable influence among all walks of life across the country.  If Tianxian Palace is allowed to investigate on its own, this matter will inevitably be exposed, which will probably arouse the contempt of people from all walks of life, right?  Therefore, this matter of killing people and robbing wealth must be handled by the government, and the first culprits and those who follow the evil will be severely punished.  It is the best solution to arbitrarily accuse the army that robbed the wealth of bandits and rebels, and let the bandits and rebels bear the anger of the people.

    "Master Immortal. Believe me, I will personally intervene in this matter for you, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Master Immortal!" Li Shimin didn't know how to calm down the anger of Huang Junming and the Taoist priest of Tianxian Palace.  I had to say this word for word.

    After hearing what Li Shimin said, Huang Junming felt angry again from the bottom of his heart.  "It seems that Your Majesty knows who the person who committed the murder and robbed the wealth is?" Huang Junming said with a hint of sneer: "It's no wonder that even a poor man can see some clues from the obituary with only a few words. With the government's  You already have a target based on your abilities, right? Your Majesty, can you tell me about it? Who is the thief who is interested in the money from Tianxian Palace?"

    Li Shimin has been in the court for a long time, and he has never heard Huang Junming's joking voice.  But now in order to suppress the matter, I had no choice but to let go of the emperor's airs and explain to Huang Junming: "Master Immortal, although I have some clues, the specific person who intercepted the charity money from Tianxian Palace has yet to be verified."

    It needs to be verified?  Huang Junming sneered in his heart, this is politics.  I'm afraid Li Shimin already knows that it was someone from the Tang army who did it, right?  No one is a fool. The troops in Longyou may be complicated and difficult to verify, but Hedong is the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a place where there is no need to station troops to defend against foreign enemies.  The army is still much smaller than that of Longyou.  With just a few troops, a little search would definitely identify the culprit. Two or three days had passed since the incident.  Huang Junming doesn't believe it if the government doesn't have a clear goal for this matter.

    "Since Your Majesty has a clue, can you tell this clue to Pindao?" Huang Junming put on an unreasonable and unforgiving attitude and asked Li Shimin.  "I, a Taoist, walk in the world of mortals. It is quite convenient for me to interact with the traffickers and lackeys. As long as I have a few clues, it is quite easy to follow the clues. Although your Majesty's officials are also good at investigating, most of the people in the government are respected by the people at the bottom.  If the truth comes out after a lot of torture, Pindao won't believe it."

    After hearing Huang Junming's words, Li Shimin's face suddenly became gloomy and frightening. Huang Junming's words sounded like a government official doing things unfavorably. This was tantamount to a slap in the face for Li Shimin. Originally, Li Shimin had lowered his attitude.  Only then did he come to Tianxian Palace to mediate.  Being slighted several times by Huang Junming, the anger in Li Shimin's heart was also hooked.

    "Master Immortal, it seems you don't trust me anymore?" Li Shimin changed the topic and became dull.

    Huang Junming, who was beside Li Shimin, naturally felt this change in Li Shimin's momentum instantly.  Normally, he still has great scruples about the imperial power, but Huang Junming was so angry that he really forgot about the imperial power.??Huang Junming is a modern Taoist priest who has no big idea about the emperor.  After traveling to ancient times, his identity is extremely aloof. On weekdays, he and Li Shimin have a relatively equal conversation.  After several reasons, Huang Junming forgot about the idea of ??imperial power.  He didn't say much, just nodded heavily to Li Shimin.  I believe that Li Shimin must understand this internationally accepted body language.

    Li Shimin not only understood, but also felt that Huang Junming had no understanding of his earnest persuasion.  The gloominess in his expression expanded a bit more, and he almost gritted his teeth before saying, "Then what does the Immortal Master want me to do?"

    At this time, Huang Junming also noticed that the smell of gunpowder in his conversation with Li Shimin was getting stronger, and he lowered his posture a little and said: "I don't want to make it difficult for Your Majesty, but the Taoist priest who died in Tianxian Palace must not cry out for injustice.  Go, Pindao, all the Taoist priests in the Celestial Palace are eager to kill their enemies with their own hands, that’s all.”

    "Okay! Since Master Immortal said this, can you please listen to my advice again?" Li Shimin calmed down after hearing Huang Junming's tone, and said quickly: "It is undeniable that Taoist influence among the masses, it is very easy to get some information.  , but Taoist priests are not soldiers or government officials! Since you, Immortal Master, are aware of the thieves who kill people and take wealth, I won’t hide it. It’s just that you, Immortal Master, think about it carefully. As a Taoist priest who has nothing to do with the world, can he really  Will the thief be caught and punished?"
