The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.

There are many people in the world who take risks for the sake of profit. In the history books, those who do stupid things for the sake of illusory fame and fortune are also successors. But Li Hui absolutely could not accept that the assassination incident that had stirred up the royal family was actually tossed by a group of self-proclaimed fools. If the lives of the great father and grandfather were lost in the hands of such a fool, it would be even more ironic!

He almost laughed angrily, and the more annoyed he was, the calmer his heart became. He believes that the people who provoked this group of families to ignore one thing are the real planners of this matter. Even, perhaps, even this person is just a chess piece, because the rumors that have "coincidentally" spread in Beijing have made it clear that the object of suspicion has been clarified. The real murderer behind the scenes decisively abandoned this person, and filled in so many lives and families with one hand, which shows that the plan is very big.

However, the matter once again returned to the knot that he had been puzzled with. Li Song, the father of the great world, and Li Tai, his grandfather, failed to seize the heir, and they have completely lost the position of the East Palace, and there is no threat to the crown prince and the king of Yue. They don't need to do such superfluous things at all, and it is easier to show their tolerance and kindness by keeping them. What kind of interests did the murderers choose to assassinate them? Will he give up on this idea after this defeat? Or are you still unwilling to give up and are determined to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots?

Taking 10,000 steps back, if the crown prince and the king of Yue really had any ideas, it would be impossible to instruct a fool like the Luo Nantian clan to do it! Not only did it not work out, but it caused a lot of trouble, making the matter bigger and bigger! They're all smart people, and they're definitely not going to do such stupid things.

At this time, Li Kun's eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly: "The friendship between our brothers is so unbearable to be speculated by this group of wolf-hearted bastards. I can't spare them! Obviously, he is the "real dragon" that the small family wants to "follow" - he was implicated for no reason, damaging his reputation for filial piety for many years, and even His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been gentle, couldn't help but change his face.

"The prince doesn't have to be angry with this kind of person, it's not worth it." Li Heng said, "There are still many doubts about this matter, and it is impossible to make a conclusion for the time being. Wait a few more days, I can't say that Ah Xin will send new evidence, doesn't it mean that someone has been sent to hunt down the traitor? In addition, interrogating a few other small families may also lead to new discoveries. ”

Li Hui's eyes flashed slightly, and he took the initiative to mention the rumors: "Compared with these irrelevant people, my nephew believes in the rumors that come out of these Tianjing more. Uncle, father, is it possible that the family that was exiled back quietly came back and said that those small families were motivated to act for him? There are only a few dozen people who besiege my grandfather, and there are hundreds of assassins who assassinate the great father, obviously more like the enemy of the great father. ”

Li Kun bowed: "Only in this way can we explain the treacherousness." These little families are just being taken advantage of. The reason why I called you here is also to ask you to ask the third brother. After all, there were a lot of families involved when they won the heir, and it was time-consuming and laborious to investigate them one by one. If your grandfather remembers something suspicious, just let us know. After all, Li Tai is a first-hand witness, and his understanding of the matter of seizing the heir at that time is indeed much better than others.

Li Hui thought for a moment and replied calmly: "Yesterday, Grandpa accidentally heard Yan Jialangjun mention this rumor, and I have been thinking about it in my heart. After he went home, he worked hard all night and wrote down the names of his enemies. I've been helping him sharpen his ink, and I probably remember a few. So, early this morning, I sent someone to find out the whereabouts of these people. ”

Of course, the crown prince and the king of Yue were aware of the movements of the Pu Wangfu, and the arrangements were not enough for outsiders. After listening to the nephew and the confession, the two had their own ideas in their hearts, but they were all impressed by the nephew's "frankness". If Li Xin was in Beijing, the two elders might need to work hard to get some specious news from him. Li Hui is different, this child is not defensive against his own family, which is reassuring, and at the same time, people can't help but pity and love.

Facing their nephew's trusting gaze, Li Kun and Li Heng both smiled very kindly. One said: "Let's see if there are any suspicious people in the list of the third brothers." The other couldn't help but remind: "It should be the enemy of the eldest brother, not the enemy of the third brother, and there may be some discrepancies." ”

However, Li Kun and Li Hui's uncle and nephew had already started writing without hesitation. Such a tacit action seems to be saying wordlessly: His Royal Highness King Pu has worked hard to list the enemies all night, and it must have reference value, at least one or two suspicious people can be screened out. Moreover, the most miserable end was the people who followed Li Song, who turned from respect to hatred, and such a crazy revenge seemed more reasonable. Compared with Li Song, who intended to rebel and lose everything, Li Taiyu was just an object to be eliminated by them.

Li Heng seemed to understand something, shook his head, approached to take a closer look, and then was shocked by the names that were completely unrelated - "Why did I never know, when did your grandfather add so many enemies?" Is this to wipe out all those who have spoken ill of him?

Li Hui, who was busy writing his name, raised his head, his eyes full of innocence. Li Kun was still calm: "It's okay, continue." ”

Li Hui did not hide his secrets, and wrote down all the lists intermittently. Looking at the names on a piece of paper, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yue were silent.

They found that His Royal Highness King Pu's memory was really excellent: he remembered many petty officials who they didn't remember at all. They also found that His Royal Highness King Pu had indeed made a wide range of friends: many of the scribes they had no impression of at all, he actually remembered the names. Of course, more importantly, His Royal Highness King Pu's ability to make enemies is too strong, and they can't tell what hatred these "enemies" have for him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carried the list, and after being silent for a long time, he patted his nephew on the back: "Go, go and let your grandfather take a look." ”

"......" Li Hui rubbed his sore arm, and said in his heart: Uncle, it may be more convincing if you say "let your grandfather have fun".

On the other hand, Li Xin finally placed Li Song's family in the home of a wealthy family in the nearest county town. The family of four who suffered a lot was finally able to clean up all the wolves, and also restored the appearance and bearing that the dragon son and phoenix grandson should have. Although they are all just the identities of the common people, they are no different from Li Xin, the king of Pu. Especially Li Song, he doesn't pretend to anyone, and the majesty of the former prince seems to have turned into a gloomy dark fire that will never fade, and it has been burning in his heart.

After the doctor checked their pulse, Li Xin was finally much more relieved. Li Song's sprains on his legs and feet are a little strict, but they are just kinks in the muscles and veins. Li Ju has some internal stasis, just drink medicine to disperse, and at the same time, he is also a little depressed, which is also easy to cause illness; The fainting little lady was only frightened, and it was enough to drink a few pills; Su Shi is rarely safe and sound, obviously a woman with an extremely strong will, which makes Li Xin can't help but think of her mother Yan.

As a junior, it may be a bit inappropriate to say this kind of thing - but he does feel from the bottom of his heart that his grandfather and grandmother have a very good eye for picking their daughters-in-law. The Su Clan and the Yan Clan have fallen into such a situation now, and it is indeed extremely rare to be able to retain such a mentality. Of course, His Royal Highness King Sipu also believes in his own vision, and his beloved wife Zhou is also a woman who seems to be weak but is actually strong and proud. As for Adi's vision, he will not comment for the time being.

Wang Zixian, who perfectly embodies the vision of the king of Xin'an, has been visiting this small county town for both days. It was the first time he had come to Wanzhou, a southwestern hinterland, and he was very interested in the customs and folklore here that were completely different from those of the Central Plains. The land of Bashu and the land of Wuyue are different from the land of the Central Plains. There are even some mountain barbarian relics left in Wanzhou, regardless of men, women and children, their temperament is exceptionally straightforward and straightforward. As a result, every time this handsome young man goes out, he always returns with a full load, which makes all the guards in the Pu Wangfu extremely envious.

Because the people were too enthusiastic, Wang Zixian no longer went out at will, but listened to the old women talk about the ancient times in the wonton shop opposite the rich family's house where he temporarily lived. Listening to it, he wrote it down, polished it in his mind, and planned to tell Li Hui after returning to Chang'an. It's not that he has never shared what he saw and heard when he traveled with others before, but when he talked about it with Li Hui, he felt very comfortable. So, when he listened to such anecdotes, he became more attentive.

Listening, his gaze inadvertently swept the side of the street, and he found an unusually tall man. Most of the locals in Wanzhou are thin and short, and they are easily recognizable. This man was born with a tiger's back and a bee's waist, beard, and a hood, and he looked a head taller than a person, and his bearing was also unusual, which was very eye-catching.

The prince's gaze only swept over, and the man looked over with some caution. His heart moved slightly, lowered his head to avoid the other party's Suo Xun's gaze, and instructed Cao Shilang next to him: "Look carefully, if there are any Nanban with darker complexion and flat nose and thick lips in the county." ”

Cao Shilang was stunned and hurriedly agreed. However, he was busy for a day or two, but because of the language barrier, he didn't hear anything.

Wang Zixian didn't blame him, but just mentioned the matter to Li Xin. Although he has no definite evidence, because of his previous outstanding appearance, Li Xin trusts his judgment: "We will leave tomorrow, and we must strengthen our vigilance on this way." There should not be many people who can be used by the thief, so it doesn't hurt to be careful. ”

Li Ju was also beside him, and when he heard this, he said: "Just in case, it's better to let Grandpa and me exchange an ox cart." I'm young and strong, I'm quicker to dodge, and I'm less likely to get hurt. Temporarily wronged Grandpa took the car in the back until there was no trace of the traitor, and it was not too late to change back. ”

He has always been filial, Li Xin hesitated for a moment and agreed. Li Song was silent, but Su Shi gently told the two cousins a few words, and it was difficult to hide the worry in his eyes. She also had only one child, and she was worried that he would be injured. But Li Ju has made up her mind, Li Song does not object, and she has no reason to stop her.

The next day, the Pu Wangfu guards and Jin Wuwei escorted the convoy of Li Song's family, slowly drove out of the mansion and headed towards the gate of the county seat. It was rare for the people to see such a magnificent long procession of carriages and horses, and they flocked to the streets to watch, and for a time it was a surging crowd, and no matter how much they drove it, they could not stop their enthusiasm.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some commotion in the crowd, and they were pushed around. The situation was obviously not right, and the guards of the Pu Wangfu and Jin Wuwei immediately redoubled their vigilance and tried to leave the place at a faster pace. However, several civilians accidentally fell into the carriage procession, and the motorcade had to be temporarily stopped to avoid stampede.

In an instant, the people who were rolling on the ground and screaming in pain jumped up, drew their swords, and stabbed at the gorgeous ox cart headed by them. The guards hurriedly drew their swords to resist, and there was chaos around the ox cart. The rest of the guards were about to shoot with their bows, and some of the people shouted for them to kill, causing the crowd to stir up, and the convoy became more and more disorganized by the panicked and frightened crowd.

General Jin Wuwei sweated on his forehead, raised his knife and shouted angrily, but it had no effect. Li Xin was worried about Li Ju who was trapped in the car, so he simply didn't care if he hurt anyone, so he drove his horse hard. Just when the ox cart was close at hand, a burly figure held a horizontal knife to fight his way out of the encirclement, rushed into the ox cart with blood on his face, and raised his hand to cut it down.

The prince followed as if he were a shadow, and the horizontal knife swept over, trying to resist. However, the Assassin's body moved slightly, and he reluctantly put away his sword, and a harrier rolled over to dodge the attack, and then retreated without hesitation. And Li Ju sat in place a little dazed, as if he was a little distracted.

Wang Zixian didn't catch up, glanced at a few black shadows who had fled, and said in a low voice: "Is it someone you know?" "This man is very well skilled, and the assassination location and disruptive countermeasures are just right. If it weren't for Li Ju sitting in the ox cart, he would have hesitated, and he would have almost taught him to succeed! Must be a pivotal figure among the traitors!

Only then did Li Ju retract his mind, bowed his head slightly, and his voice was full of amazement and bitterness: "The friend of the horn." ”

The prince was stunned, and was speechless for a while.

When the names of this person and his father and brother were transmitted to Chang'an, Li Hui immediately showed a strange look on his face. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhurriedly unfolded the list, and sure enough, he found his father's name in the corner, so he specially circled it with a cinnabar pen: "The third brother is really as wise as a torch." ”

"......" Li Hui deeply felt that it was not easy for his uncle to use this word.
