Chapter 59: Temporary Closure of the Case

Li Qianniang's sophistry, how can she win the trust of everyone present? Even the brothers Li Wei and Li Jing, who didn't know her true temperament, seemed to be a little shaken, and all the elders, as well as Li Xin and Li Hui, were still cold. Li Tai couldn't help but shout angrily: "You still dare to quibble? On the day you got married, Ah Hui and Yue Niang kindly gave you a kiss, what did you say to them?! Don't think that you can pass the blame away by talking nonsense!! ”

Hearing this, Li Qianniang cried more and more, trembling all over her body, with tears dotted, looking extremely delicate: "At that time, it was just a momentary angry speech, where did you really do it?" Er was indeed jealous of Sister Changning, and also felt that Cousin Hui had ruined his marriage...... However, no matter what, I don't dare to do anything to murder Grandpa, Cousin Hui! Otherwise, what kind of person has become of him? Is it a villain who doesn't recognize his relatives for some small grudges? Because of these trivial things, he offended the elders and peers of the clan, and was rejected by the clan, so why bother? ”

Yes, you're such a villain. Li Hui silently slandered: At such a time, he still dares to reverse right and wrong, and his courage and heart are really extraordinary. Moreover, at this time, it was too late to justify that he did not want to offend the clan. How is it possible to think that a few words can turn the tide and deceive the elders?

Li Tai suddenly shot up, like a heavy mountain of meat suddenly rising, vaguely as if there was a rumbling sound, quite powerful. Seeing this, Li Qianniang made a frightened appearance, crying more and more pitiful, as if she had been bullied by some wicked person, which made Li Wei and Li Jing feel a little unbearable.

Seeing that the murderer pretended to be a disguise and became an innocent girl, but Yeye, who was angry for his beloved son, was regarded as a "wicked person", Li Hui was a little helpless. If there are more people present who don't know the past, I'm afraid that my grandfather will become the target of everyone. Should he be glad that Zong Zhengqing and the other clan elders were not there? They already have a lot of complaints about Grandpa, if they see the current appearance of the two of them, I am afraid that they will involuntarily speak for Li Qianniang!

And Li Tai didn't realize that Li Qianniang was using him to win sympathy, thinking that he had the majesty of an elder, and he even showed a bit of pride. He was about to say a few more words, but Li Heng grabbed the corner of his robe and shook his head gently.

At this time, Li Kun suddenly smiled slightly, very kind: "I see, I didn't expect that there was such an inside story in it, but we elders thought about it for a while." Good boy, get up, go to the Lizheng Hall and bow down, and then go home to recuperate for a while. Today's incident is that we elders have misunderstood you, and we all have to send you some good things to make you feel so frightened. ”

Li Qianniang was stunned, although she was a little surprised in her heart, Furong's face was naturally full of gratitude, and she choked up and saluted him: "Thank you uncle for your understanding." With that, she looked around with tears in her eyes, and saw that the other elders looked a little surprised, and she didn't dare to stay here to be questioned any longer, so as not to find anything wrong, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Seeing her walk away, Li Tai was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Prince, brother, what do you mean?" She caused Ah Hui to be almost seriously injured, how can you believe her side of the story? ”

"She can betray her family and clan for the sake of interests, but she can grit her teeth for the sake of interests." Li Heng said with relief, "We underestimated her lust for profit before, and we didn't expect that she was also a quick and wise person, and there was no big flaw in the lies she told." If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, I'm afraid she wouldn't have pleaded guilty. And we, as elders, persecuted her so much, but what persecuted us was full of lies, and it would be useless to question it further. With that, he glanced at his second son lightly. Li Wei and Li Jing originally opened their mouths to intercede with Li Qianniang, but when they saw this, they were stunned, and they suppressed their doubts and said no more.

"What the second brother said is very true." Princess Qinghe answered, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and her eyes sparkled, with a little coldness, "What's more, if we force her to tell the truth, and she retorts in front of Grandpa, won't she teach us to give up our previous efforts?" When the time comes, it will be our elders who will be left behind. The reputation of persecuting the younger generation spreads, and I don't know what kind of discussion will arise in the clan. ”

"That's fine. If Grandpa knew that this matter was just a misunderstanding and had nothing to do with our own family, he would be happier in his heart. Li Kun sighed with a smile, "It's also that I'm a little impatient, and I'm tired of my brothers and sisters." However, the third brother doesn't have to worry, the days are still long. And keeping her may not be beneficial. "It turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Li Qianniang's cunning, and his mind changed sharply, but he had another plan.

Hearing this, Li Tai still frowned, as if he didn't quite understand what he said. However, several other elders all smiled, and even Li Hui suddenly realized. So, when the king of Xin'an looked at his grandfather again, he felt more and more that he was far from being his uncle's opponent. As his grandmother said, being an idle king in this life is the most comfortable for him.

After that, the princes, princesses and princesses took their respective children to the Lizheng Hall and knelt down to worship the spiritual seat of Queen Qin. When he wanted to visit the saint again, the saint told them to go back and rest, and only left their grandchildren to accompany him. Thinking that Li Kun had already relayed Li Qianniang's lies, the sage was pleased that his children and grandchildren were all filial, so he was interested in teaching them again.

After the old grandfather had fun, Li Hui and the others rode back home. At this time, the 30-day national filial piety period has passed, and because it is close to the Double Ninth Festival, it is lively again. In the palace of King Pu, a variety of treasures of chrysanthemums are also prepared, and there are red and bright dogwoods for climbing. In previous years, the maids would skillfully make dogwood chains like ruby strings, which they wore in a bun or tied around their wrists. This year, the whole house is filial piety, and there can be no bright colors on the body, and the dogwood has not been used for decoration.

Back in the house, Li Hui and Li Xin went to the main courtyard on the middle road to greet Yan and Li Tai. The Yan family has always respected Empress Qin, so they don't want to hold a chrysanthemum feast, nor do they want to go out to the banquet during the Double Ninth Festival. The two brothers also felt that this was appropriate, so they mentioned that it was enough to only have a family banquet. In addition, it is impossible to say that the grandfather in the palace may summon them to feast, and the palace only needs to make a little preparation.

After saying this, Yan Shi said: "Ah Hui's grievances can't be brought back to you for a while, and I feel very unhappy in my heart. Fortunately, your uncle and second father have the same mind this time, and they will not spare the culprit of this matter. Moreover, men have men's plans, and women have women's plans, and the three of us will not teach them to have a good time. Wait, good boy. She has always been gentle to others, but at this time, for the sake of her beloved son, she is even more majestic.

Li Hui replied: "The child understands, but in fact, he doesn't feel wronged. The child just felt that if he could find out the truth of this matter, he might be able to avoid some future disasters. After all, the successive assassinations are all aimed at the great father and ours. If the malice is purely due to the case of the past, there are many doubts. It's Grandpa, who seems to feel more wronged than a child. ”

"Isn't it? He complained to me a lot along the way. Yan said, "I don't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually has the intention of appeasing Li Qianniang." I told him about it, but he was still upset, and was probably sulking in his bed. ”

"I'm going to comfort Grandpa." Li Xin took the initiative to take the messenger, "Ah Hui just shot a lot of arrows, and went to rest." ”

So, the two brothers said goodbye to the Yan family, one went to comfort Grandpa, and the other went back to the courtyard on West Road. The servants and maids of the palace have already arranged the west road, strolling in it, all kinds of precious chrysanthemums compete with each other, or double petals like flowing gold and falling, or single petals like flames stretching, or curly and complex, or elegant and light, and so on.

Li Hui walked slowly in it, and inadvertently looked back, but saw the prince standing quietly in front of a pot of ink chrysanthemums, as if he was looking down carefully, and seemed to be distracted. These days, the two of them had had more opportunities to see each other, but his heart still quickly welled up with pure joy. It seems that as soon as you see your friends, you will be pure joy, pure comfort, pure relaxation.

"If Zixian likes this chrysanthemum, he will bring it back." Even though Mo Ju is precious, at least worth a thousand gold, it is not comparable to the status of a close friend.

Hearing this, Wang Zixian raised his head and smiled slightly: "It's just waiting for the king here." I don't know how to appreciate flowers and cherish flowers, so don't bury it. What's more, there are only Cao Shilang and Qingsuo around me, and neither of them can take care of any precious flowers, wouldn't it harm this flower? ”

"That's it, I'll let someone pick a pot for you that is easy to survive, and raise it to suit the occasion." Li Hui said, "As for the rest, if you are interested, you can go to the vine garden to see." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." The prince said, "I heard the king mention two days ago that His Royal Highness the Prince's trial has been decided, and he plans to inquire about Li Qianniang. I wonder what progress has been made so far? "There are too few people under him, and more than a dozen subordinates have been transferred from Shangzhou, and just staring at Princess Anxing and Li Qianniang is not enough at all. Even if he followed closely behind the third division, he only picked up some bits and pieces, and he couldn't deduce anything. However, even temporary solicitation is not immediately available, and trust must be built up slowly before all kinds of matters can be delivered to them.

Li Hui told him the results of the trial of the three divisions, and described the turning point in today's interrogation: "Uncle has his own calculations in his heart, and this case will be closed if he can't say it." ”

The prince's eyes moved slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the intention of luring the snake out of the hole?" When Li Qianniang relaxed, she said that she would no longer hook up with Princess Anxing and ask her for the benefits she had promised before. At that time, maybe Princess Anxing would give her some small benefits, stabilize her temporarily, and order her to continue to serve her; Or perhaps, Princess Anxing was impatient with her entanglement, so she would teach her a lesson, and the two of them would have a bad relationship. In any case, as long as Li Qianniang moved, Princess Anxing had to move. ”

"That's true. If you don't move, you're invulnerable; If you move, you will eventually show flaws. Li Hui said, "Uncle Crown Prince doesn't care about the little Li Qianniang at all, pointing directly at Princess Anxing, you really have to be a little patient." ”

“…… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care, but we can't be careless. The prince said, and a chuckle sounded in his heart at the same time: Some people are unwilling to give Ah Hui a head, and some people are willing to avenge Ah Hui, all of which have nothing to do with me. is that no one cares about Li Qianniang and Princess Anxing, but I will not let them go.

Of course, Li Hui didn't know what he was thinking, so he just bowed his head and said, "There is labor to give." ”

As a result, the case of the Buzheng Fang Courtyard was temporarily closed with the traitor assassinating the abolished prince out of hatred. The female assassin was the culprit and remained on death row in the Dali Temple cell. It was claimed that the Assassin must find clues about the other traitors before she could be put to death.

When such news came out, I don't know how many people couldn't sleep at night, and how many people were ready to move.
