With the departure of the King of Chu from Beijing, what had happened in the courtyard of Buzheng Fang seemed to have been annihilated. Li Qianniang, the county lord of Yichuan, no longer goes out at will in the name of filial piety; Princess Anxing seems to have nothing to do with her, and she goes back and forth in the palace every day, but she goes to visit her biological mother, Concubine Yang De, and occasionally goes to the Lizheng Palace to offer incense to Queen Qin. Although they may all hope that this matter can be covered up as much as possible, how can they help to get the investigation of Donggong and Sanji?

A few days later, when Li Xin and Li Hui entered the palace to visit the saint, it coincided with the crown prince Li Kun hurrying to the Ganlu Palace. Seeing the two long-bodied nephews huddled around the old father, listening to him with admiration on his face as he instructed him on archery and knife skills, his eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked: "I heard that Grandpa often practices archery these days, originally to teach Boyue and Ah Hui." It's a pity that the child doesn't have the talent to ride and shoot, otherwise he can learn from it. ”

The sage smiled and summoned him to his side: "Now it is far from what it was back then—you can only use a two-stone bow, and you can only use seven out of ten shots." If the two brothers practice a little harder, they won't need me to teach anything! However, being around these children made me feel much younger and more energetic. Why didn't he know in his heart that the grandchildren's actions were just to accompany him and make him laugh?

"In this case, why don't you summon Qianli and Ah Jing together. Yue Niang is also full of thoughts about learning to ride and shoot these days, so she asked her to learn from Grandpa. Li Kundao did not mention his two concubines. One is that the two are still young, and it is too dangerous to learn to ride and shoot; The mother of the two sons, Yang Liangdi and Zhang Ruzi, looked at the children as if they were eyeballs, and they were afraid that they would be reluctant to suffer for a while.

"Let them all come." The saint said, "Horizontal and vertical teaching two is also teaching, and teaching five is also teaching." Their brothers and sisters are all in one place, and it is more lively. He casually stuffed the bow and arrow into Li Hui's arms, ordered him to continue shooting, and then asked, "Wulang is here, why is it here?" "Because he has been unwell recently, he has made the crown prince in charge of the country. Li Kun would come over every day to report important matters in the court, but he had never rushed to this hour.

"Grandpa, the assassination case that occurred in the courtyard of Buzheng Fang some time ago has been investigated." Li Kundao. The East Palace did not have the right to investigate cases, and the detained assassins, servants, and servants were all transferred to Dali Temple. Due to the emergence of assassins targeting Li Song, Dali Temple applied for an interrogation by the three divisions, linking the case with the reverse case some time ago.

I thought that the reverse case that had already ended had already started a storm again, how could it not make people angry? After hearing this, the sage immediately issued an edict, urging the three divisions to try and close the case as soon as possible. But the female assassin was a dead man, and she refused to confess no matter what punishment she suffered. The three divisions had to investigate gradually, and finally found the rebels from among the servants and maids in the other courtyard, and verified the exact evidence.

Because Li Hui was almost victimized by this case, the sage called both of them to come and listen. Li Kun continued: "The three divisions found out that this case is really related to the previous reverse case. The female assassin was the daughter of a former East Palace guard, and her father was inadvertently shot dead by her eldest brother, so she held a grudge. Later, when her biological mother died, she was exiled among her relatives and sold into slavery, and her whereabouts have not been known since. It should be Huanhe's first-class rebel who deliberately found her whereabouts, so he trained her as a dead soldier to help her take revenge. ”

Li Hui twisted his brows: The so-called "unintentional shooting" should be innocent and used as an arrow target. This kind of hatred for killing his father, like the hatred of Huanhe, is indeed endless. However, the female assassin intended to use his blade to assassinate him, apparently not only for revenge, but also for the suspicion of slandering and framing him. There was no one else present at the time, and he was just suspicious, and I am afraid that even if he said it, he might not be able to win the trust of the third division.

The sage said lightly: "It can be regarded as the enemy he provoked himself, but he innocently implicated Ah Hui." Can the three divisions know, why did he do anything wrong in the other courtyard, and no one reported to Asu and Ji Qing? If they had been suppressed by their mother and son, it shouldn't have come to this point! "When he was in Qianzhou, Li Song didn't do anything, why did he go crazy when he returned to Chang'an? As a father, he certainly didn't believe there was no other reason.

"Then I'm going to ask Yichuan." Li Kun said, "At that time, she was in charge of the housekeeping of the other hospital, and my sister-in-law was busy preparing for the marriage of Ji Qing, so she had no time to take care of it for a while. The stewards in the courtyard all confessed, and she bribed them with a lot of money, let them go to Pingkangfang to buy servants, and were not allowed to report to her sister-in-law and Jiqing. "Even the three divisions can't rashly arrest and interrogate the county lord of Yichuan, who is a noble daughter of the clan. What's more, she is now closed, and it is said that no one wants to see her. Therefore, I could not summon her out for the time being, and listen to her explain more details.

Li Xin and Li Hui never thought that Li Kun would be so outspoken and tell everything Li Qianniang had done. However, he did not mention the secret things such as cause and effect, thinking that Du Shi did not mention it to him, or it was inconvenient to explain it to the sage. He also did not mention Princess Anxing, so there should still be no definite evidence.

The saint's impression of this granddaughter was extremely ordinary, and he never got along with him, never understood, and did not have much friendship between grandparents and grandchildren. Now that I've heard this, I'm even more tired of it: "Then you can ask her well." Even if it's your own ugly thing, you don't need to let the third division interrogate, you can preside over it. If she really made a mistake, she was abolished as a concubine. "The things he can't hear or see the most are things like brothers' rivalry and father-son rebellion. For such a conspiracy and calculating woman, she has always been extremely disliked.

After hearing the progress of the case, the saint lost interest in continuing to teach archery, and simply went back to the Avatar Hall to rest. Li Kun then took Li Xin and Li Hui to go out, and asked many details along the way. Li Huijun answered them one by one without hesitation, and he did not hide anything. Since he couldn't find any evidence, he made his uncle suspicious and continued to investigate, or more or less solve the fog after the case.

"Yichuan has ill intentions, and it really should be tried well." Li Kundao, with a little more coldness in his kind smile, "As for the rest, you can rest assured, she will make the decision for you, and you can't let her do anything wrong." ”

Brother Li Hui and the two knew that he should be referring to Princess Anxing. Thinking about it, the reason why he pushed Li Qianniang out was to force her to confess Princess Anxing. With such evidence, I can have the opportunity to teach Princess Anxing a lesson. Otherwise, I never knew what Princess Anxing had in secret, and what she had to do with those exiled clans, and this prince uncle was probably very jealous in his heart.

The next day, Li Kun sent the palace maid as a messenger, and brought Li Qianniang, the lord of Yichuan County, out of her husband's Xu family in the name of kneeling down to the Lizheng Palace. Along the way, Li Qianniang felt frightened, and tried to find excuses to go home several times to escape, but the palace envoy didn't hear it. Thinking of what she had done, she felt more and more afraid, and complex hatred rose again in her heart. Under such a mixture of fear and hatred, the soft face that was originally quite graceful was distorted several times, and it was once again full of resentment.

After a short time, the palace maid took Li Qianniang to the Daji Hall on the right side of the Lizheng Palace. Except for the Du family, the Zhou family, and Princess Anxing, who need to be nourished, are not there, and the blood of the Heavenly Family is sitting in it. On the right are the crown prince Li Kun, Yue Wang Li Heng, Pu Wang Li Tai, and on the left are Wang, Yan, Linchuan and Qinghe princesses. Li Xin, Li Hui and other juniors sat down in turn, and they all looked at her coldly.

Seeing such a battle, Li Qianniang almost fell to the ground. The palace maid next to her quickly supported her and led her to sit on the mattress in the center of the hall. Everyone sat on the couch, looking at her condescendingly, just like the court where the case was being tried, looking more and more solemn and solemn.

Li Qianniang barely managed to hide the panic in her heart, slowly raised her head, and greeted the elders timidly as usual. Li Kun and Li Heng responded lightly, but Li Tai raised his eyebrows and ignored it. As for the Wang family and the Yan family, they were even more indifferent, not at all as kind and gentle as usual.

"Yichuan, do you know what happened to summon you into the palace?" Li Kun didn't intend to greet her and asked.

"I don't know...... The palace maid said that the uncle arranged for the whole family to kneel and worship their grandmother...... And the son came. Li Qianniang replied, with an innocent look on her face.

Which of the elders in the hall was not sharp-eyed, and he could see through the nervousness and fear that she tried to hide at a glance, and his heart was all stunned. At this point, she still thinks that she can hide from the world and take herself out, which is indeed vicious and stupid. The heart is not good, and he is blinded by the wealth and glory of Chang'an, so it is not surprising that he does anything.

"Since you don't want to admit it, then explain it to us. Why do you want to hide that your grandfather has no intention of killing the slave maid? Why did you pay a lot of money to bribe the stewards of other hospitals and make them go to Ping Hong Fong to buy servants? Why did you connive at the female assassin to provoke and cause your grandfather to go crazy? Why did you make a remark that day to lure your cousins to visit the other house? Don't you know that your grandfather has been armed with a bow and arrows, and it is very dangerous for them to go? Li Kun asked again and again, with a sense of shock.

Li Qianniang burst into tears almost instantly. She didn't want to admit her selfishness and viciousness, and racked her brains to find an excuse: "Grandpa killed the slave and maid...... When I heard about it for the first time, I was also very frightened. A-Niang handed over all the housekeeping of the other courtyard to her son, which is to believe in her son's ability. If Teach A-Niang to learn about this, wouldn't she feel extremely disappointed? Therefore, my son was confused for a while, and did everything possible to suppress this matter, and bought a servant to supplement the needs of the other hospital. Who knew that the trick had bad intentions, and Grandpa's madness became more and more powerful. ”

"I haven't mentioned this matter to my mother and brother before, and I don't dare to mention it again after that. At that time, it was close to my brother's wedding, if something happened, wouldn't it ruin my brother's marriage? Therefore, the child thought that after the marriage of the elder brother, it would not be too late to kneel in front of the aunt and the elder brother to explain. ”

As for that day, my son was also worried that Grandpa would hurt his brother, so he wanted his cousin to take a look. The child was too flustered, and he only thought that his brother had no martial arts and was extremely easy to be injured, but the eldest brother and the second cousin were both outstanding in martial arts, and they would definitely be able to bring the elder brother and grandpa back to the palace safely. But I never thought that the last people to go were cousin Ji and cousin Jing...... It's also not thoughtful......"

Li Hui thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This woman does have a talent for lying, and she is actually very coherent when she says it before and after, and it is not full of loopholes. If she had bitten her nerve and suppressed the matter only for a moment of confusion, and then she panicked only because she was worried about her brother, of course the punishment she would have received would not have been too severe. After all, she is indeed young, and she doesn't seem to be the culprit who can collude with the traitor.

On the contrary, if she admits that she harbors evil intentions, even if she confesses Princess Anxing, she may not be able to maintain her own status. Therefore, she will try her best to quibble at this time, and it is impossible for her to admit what she has done.

Previously, they all underestimated her a little. Once you think about your own interests, you are short-sighted and stupid, and you also have the determination and means to protect yourself.
