207.Chapter 207
When King Peng sowed discord, the saint's Luan was not far away, and the scene of Fang Cai naturally fell into his eyes. Regarding King Peng's actions and encounters, he smiled and called Li Hui, who had a bitter face, over: "Your uncle saw that you were a junior, so he casually told you a few words, don't think about it." Originally, I didn't want you to get involved in this matter again, but since he has already said it, you can dispose of the maids around him. ”
"The nephew will judge the maids?" Li Hui frowned, "If they are all uncle's beloved, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be punished." My nephew couldn't send a group of wounded maids to serve his uncle. "He is used to staying in Dali Temple, and when he talks about the execution, he doesn't even move his brows, which is very natural.
"You haven't learned any other means than to be tortured?" The sage smiled and knocked on the armrest, "The maid beside him is not important, you just treat it as a practicer." Learn more from Dali Temple Qing and Dali Temple Shaoqing, and go. Cheng Qing is also famous, these maids may be the Tong Fang he is pampering, and he is a little reluctant to hurt it, so he just said it specially. And a maid like this, he doesn't know how much stubble has been changed around him, and he is more diligent than Princess Anxing, and he can never be a cronie who knows any secrets.
"The child has the order." Li Huimu sent Luan away, frowned, and returned to King Pu's mansion with a heavy heart. To outsiders, he seemed to be worried about the trial of the maid, but in fact he was unsure of what would happen after the case. Of course, failure is nothing, the important thing is that no one involved in this matter can not let Princess An Xing worry about being retaliated against by her or her henchmen in the future.
"Xuan Qi, I heard that Princess Anxing and Cheng Qing have both been summoned to the palace?" The lights in the dormitory were still bright, and the prince greeted him, looking at his tired expression, and guessed that the case was not going well, "What is the attitude of the saint?" Among King Jing, King Peng and King Lu, who is connected with her? ”
"King Peng openly exonerated her, but King Lu couldn't see it." Li Hui pressed his brows and took a sip of the ten soups he handed over, "The sage doesn't care about the outcome of this case, he just wants to interrogate the people in Princess Anxing's mansion to find clues about other cases." I can't say that when the time comes, I will be able to use the chess pieces that Guò has planted in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anxing, and charge her with rebellion or other crimes. It's just that I always feel that the eldest princess of An Xing has been prepared for a long time, and if this case continues to be tried, it is very likely that there will be accidents......"
"Accidents? The so-called accident means that she is very likely to bite back? "Then you have to be careful, maybe she has something to arrange in Luoyang and other places." Didn't you say that someone secretly wrote to the king of Chu in Jingzhou and the king of Jiangxia in Ezhou? The King of Pu and the King of Pu in Luoyang, and even the King of Yong'an and the King of Hejian County in the far frontier are likely to have received the same letter. Not to mention anything else, the letter alone is enough to make a fuss. ”
In the eyes of the sage, no matter how these clan kings responded, just because they did not inform him of the existence of this letter in time, they were indeed suspected of "rebellion". At that time, it is very likely that the mastermind in Beijing will not know who it is, but every one of the clan kings who are in other places has become the object of his suspicion. As long as a thorn is planted in his heart, sooner or later it is possible to attack in various forms.
"Zixian, you immediately take someone with the token and go to Luoyang and Jingzhou." Li Hui never worried about his brother Li Xin's response, but he was worried that his grandfather Li Tai was being used but he didn't know it. In any case, it's never a bad idea to be cautious. Moreover, he couldn't bear to feel that the princess of Chu, Su, and the heir of Chu, Li Ju, who were in Jingzhou, suffered an unjustified disaster.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately." Wang Zixian felt a little sorry for him, so he half-forced him to drink ten soups, and after bathing him himself, he urged him to fall asleep quickly, "You don't have to do your best in this matter, lest you teach Princess Anxing and her henchmen to hold a grudge." When it's time to rest, it's good to rest, don't think too much. ”
Li Hui lay on the bed, looked at him and smiled: "The person who should be offended has already offended." Even if I stood behind me and was silent, Princess Anxing, Cheng Qing and King Peng would all see it. Not to mention, Cheng Qing casually gave me an envoy to send a maid, and King Peng also tried to sow discord in front of the saint. ”
Hearing this, the prince suddenly thought of the chess piece that had been trapped before, and pondered for a moment: "Xuan Qi, Cheng Qing's move is an opportunity. The chess piece we put in before was gone, and the Sun brothers and sisters were so anxious that they couldn't sit still. This time, I might be able to find out the news of the chess piece. Another day, I'll have the men who know the chess pieces pretend to be your guards, and accompany you to the place where they are being held, and recognize them. As for King Peng, who doesn't have one or two bad things? ”
Since King Peng blatantly helped Princess An Xing, and dared to sow discord, he was their enemy, and he was also an enemy with ill intentions towards his own Xuanqi. For this kind of person, Wang Zixian naturally can't tolerate it. His heart is very small, and if someone takes the initiative to commit it, it is not too much to retaliate a hundred times and a thousand times.
"During this time, we try to be as disciplined as possible." Li Hui held his palm and admonished, "Otherwise, I will always feel a little uneasy in my heart...... "I have been busy all day, and I have experienced many things, that is, no matter how strong my body is, my spirit is already extremely tired. He only felt sleepiness come over him, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back and close his eyes.
Wang Zixian carefully took him into his arms, thinking about what he needed to do tomorrow. Although he has just joined the company, he is a dignified leader after all, and his ability to handle economic affairs is also quite outstanding. No matter how cumbersome the affairs of the county lieutenant of Hucao were, it was difficult for him. What's more, how many obedient officials are there under him? Now, he has enough time to sit in the county party of Wannian County and do more things by remote control.
It's just that at this time, he is still a little unwilling - the county lieutenant, the rank is indeed too low. While his Xuanqi was facing the enemies behind the scenes and bearing the pressure they bringed, he was not even qualified to be a bystander. He needs more power, needs to be promoted faster, and needs to come to Xuan Qi's side as soon as possible to share his worries and solve problems, and even shelter him from the wind and rain.
The next day, Li Hui went to Dali Temple early in the morning and consulted Dali Temple Qing and Dali Temple Shaoqing, and learned a lot of experience in "interrogation".
Although it was almost noon, he just looked at the sunny sky, and then took a group of guards to the Anxing Princess's Mansion. This huge princess's mansion didn't seem to be anything unusual, whether it was the passers-by or the people who came to the chamber to post posts, they didn't notice that the servants outside the door had already changed. They wouldn't even know that hundreds of Jinwuwei had already settled here last night, guarding all the slaves of the princess's mansion tightly. As for the princess's family order and other officials, they were quietly escorted into the Zongzheng Temple.
Now that he has the sage's message, Li Hui's goal is extremely clear. He didn't ask if King Jing had already come, and he was not interested in the maids beside Princess Anxing, and went straight to the courtyard of Cheng Qing. The courtyard where Cheng Qing lives is not on the middle road, but far away on the east road, and even separated from the middle road by a small garden, which is enough to prove that this concubine and the eldest princess of Anxing are not very close. It's not so much that they're husband and wife, but that they're just living in the same house.
The layout of the East Road is quite strange, and it is not as regular as ordinary people. Cheng Qing's courtyard alone seems to have expanded a lot, not a hollow-shaped structure, but more like a pinzig-shaped, with cross-courtyards on the left and right. In each courtyard, there are at least a dozen warblers and Yanyan, most of whom are through the room, and only a few of them claim to be concubines or personal maids.
After a night, these women with different names naturally learned that something had happened to the princess's mansion. When someone "barged" in, almost everyone was stunned, with tears on their faces, which was very pitiful.
"......" Li Huizhen didn't know whether to envy this uncle's good fortune, or to worry about how to choose when the time came. Could it be that these more than 20 women were brought into the palace to "serve" Cheng Qing? He's under house arrest, not to be happy. Moreover, each of these 20 people may not be the woman he is favoring?
As the king of Xin'an County, he naturally doesn't have to deal with these warblers and Yanyan. So he had a few guards take all the women to the middle of the courtyard, kneel on the ground, and choose one of them, who is said to have been with the colt the longest—the longest, by the way, but only three years, and who is said to have fallen out of favor long ago.
Fortunately, the woman was literate, so she wrote down everyone's names and gave them to the guards. The guards read everyone's names again, and when they read "Ah Ping", a small maid timidly raised her head and agreed. A certain guard beside Li Hui almost trembled - in the eyes of those who are familiar with her, the lethality of this demeanor is simply too great, no different from a big man pretending to be a woman!!
Li Hui's gaze didn't stay on the maid for long, and he looked away carelessly. Then the guards loudly announced that they would tell them what they liked and what they were busy with every day, or what special things had happened on a particular day. If you say a lot and say it correctly, you can go back to your room to rest and eat and drink. If you don't know anything, you will continue to stay up under the sun; If he deliberately tells a lie and is pointed out, he will not rest for a day or a night. If you point out the mistakes of others, you can also rest and eat.
The women were stunned, and after hesitating for a long time, they finally couldn't survive the scorching sun, and gradually someone opened their mouths. At first, some of the women glared angrily at the openings. However, they are no longer rough slaves who need to work, they are used to the days of fine clothes and fine food, how can they withstand the sun exposure and hunger? After kneeling for three or four hours, everyone else spoke a lot of intermittent words, except for a few who were still a little stubborn.
Li Huizhao sat under the shade of a tree, drinking chilled black plum syrup, listening nonchalantly to the details of what they said. These testimonies are fragmentary, all trivial, only related to Cheng Qing's daily habits, and even his habits at some special times, which really have nothing to do with business. This colt is indeed a gentleman who is proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, and he is not close to the eldest princess of Anxing, even if the girls want to say anything.
To be honest, he wasn't disappointed, because he had expected it. Princess An Xing and Cheng Qing must have been prepared, and there will be no useful news in the retrial. It's just that seeing that several guards on his side and the palace people sent by the saint have been working hard to record, the pen is about to be bald, and the hands are about to stiffen, and some of them feel that it is not worth it.
This half day seemed extraordinarily long, and it was not easy to survive until the sunset finally set, Li Hui motioned for the women who had told a lot of truths to go back to the room to rest, and the rest continued to kneel. Suddenly there was a sound of sobbing in the courtyard, and some women saw the people next to them staggering up and leaving, and they couldn't hold back anymore, and said a lot of words.
When the night was dark, even the rest of the women couldn't say much, so Li Hui let them go with great mercy. Of course, tomorrow has to continue. I can't say that after one night, someone remembers something?
After the recorded palace people saluted, they returned to the palace to report, and he also left the courtyard with the guards. When I came to the gate of the princess's mansion, I happened to meet King Jing who was also leaving. Li Hui stepped forward and saluted, and reported: "Uncle and grandfather, the maids and maids in my uncle's courtyard have all been interrogated, and nothing has been found. The time they spent with their uncle was very short, the longest was only three years, the shortest was only a month or two, and it was really impossible to say anything. ”
"The same is true of the maidservants beside Xi Niang." King Jing nodded, still indifferent to him, "Since the envoy sent to you by the sage should be considered completed, you don't have to come over again after a day or two." However, the Yao Xiaolang who was locked up in Dali Temple had to be carefully interrogated again. Mo wronged the noble lord of the Tang Dynasty because of a resentful young man. ”
“…… Yes, the child understood. Li Hui agreed, and watched him go away: What is the extent of the power or henchmen of the eldest princess of Anxing? Why does King Jing still favor her at such a moment? Perhaps, just in case? Indeed, if you want to pretend to have a gap with the saint, you must naturally pay attention to your words and deeds at all times, and even be able to deceive everyone around you.
He looked around, his eyes swept over those Jin Wuwei, and he walked out of Princess Anxing's mansion unhurriedly.
