Chapter 17: Fighting Alone

Liu Wenlu nodded and continued to ask, "What's wrong?" Why did Li Xun take someone to search the Nine Princes' Mansion? ”

Before Li Chu could answer, Liu Wenlu couldn't hide the question in his heart, and then asked, "You wrote the secret report, right?" It was your idea to send your mother away, right? ”

Li Chu's gaze shifted from his eager face to the box in his arms, and instead of answering, he asked, "If something happens to the Ninth Prince, will you help him at any cost?" ”

Liu Wenlu looked at Li Chu puzzled, not understanding what he meant, Li Chu smiled faintly, and said sincerely: "I mean, your feelings for the Nine Princes ......"

"What do I have feelings for him? Even if six years is enough time to have some feelings, it is before my mother and him, and it has nothing to do with me. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" When Liu Wenlu said this, he had a stubborn look that only a teenager had, and these things could always poke at the softest place in his heart.

Li Chu nodded, and said lightly: "Then say so, you won't ......"

"But if something happens to him, I'll do what I can." Liu Wenlu looked at Shangli Chu with a slightly surprised expression, and said with a firm gaze, "If something happens to him, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in the Western Capital, and even my mother will suffer." ”

Although Liu Wenlu had a hard mouth, it was not difficult to hear the dependence on the Nine Princes in his words, and when Li Chu thought of the plan in his heart, he felt a little sorry for the person in front of him.

In any case, the Nine Princes also single-handedly shielded their mother and son from the wind and rain for six years, how can people talk about ruthlessness?

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, it's not going to be that bad, but you still have to prepare for the worst."

Li Chu then told him in detail how Ding Shi Ding Yue framed himself in front of Li Jingyao and how he died tragically in the moat, and of course he didn't forget to tell him that the few people who infiltrated the Dali Temple were instructed by the money housekeeper.

Liu Wenlu didn't expect that the Wanshou Palace assassination case led by himself would be complicated like this, and the people involved were one after another, but this matter was obviously planned by him, why was it involved so much?

Liu Wenlu thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, and Li Chu didn't give him time to figure it out, so Jin Yuan took him around the west of the city, went to Tingfeng Forest to meet with the people of the Zhu family, and then sent him to the summer resort.

This is the most tiring is Jin Yuan, and when he returned to the Rite Mansion in a hurry, another major event happened in the Nine Princes' Mansion, and Zhao Tianshu and Changpu and others, who were still trembling at the Nine Princes at first, also became rude.

followed the source of the fabrics on several old departments to find out, and sure enough, I found the mastermind behind the ordering of this batch of fabrics in the old Zhuang shop, which is the son of the Nine Princes' Mansion, Liu Wenlu!

Li Xun obviously saw Liu Wenlu enter the palace with his own eyes, and led people to look carefully in the palace but found nothing, and in surprise, a little spy under his own command found that there were two missing, and their whereabouts were unknown.

At the same time, Li Jingyao, who was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, suddenly crumpled the folds in his hand, and the folds really made him unable to hide the anger in his heart.

He never imagined that six years ago, in order to please his newlywed wife, the Ninth Prince would make a trick under his nose and let go of the people of the Chen, Liu and Zhu families!

If these three families survive, after six years of lying on the salary and trying their courage, I am afraid that the power should not be underestimated, and it is difficult to guarantee that the accidents of these days will come from their hands.

This is not what Li Jingyao is most afraid of, he shuddered that the Nine Princes will join forces with these three families, cooperate with them inside and outside, and have a sandpiper to compete for the fisherman's profit!

Thinking about it like this, everything has an explanation, why didn't Ding Shi forget to pull the fourth prince into the water when he framed Li Chu? Why did Ding Shi Ding Yue see Liu Wenlu on the way from the Criminal Department to Dali Temple? Why did all the ladies of the province go to the summer resort before March passed?

And also...... There was chaos everywhere in the city a few days ago, but half of the murderer could not be found, and the words Li Xun said kept echoing in Li Jingyao's mind.

"The city has been searched, but the person who caused the trouble has not yet shown any clues, and the minister wonders if he has escaped from the city? Or is it hiding somewhere? ”

On the same day, Liu Wenlu's father Liu Yan's old ministry was arrested, isn't this Liu Wenlu's attempt to cover up in order to rescue the old department? But somehow, this plan actually failed?

"Little fold!" Li Jingyao got up angrily, saw Sheng Zhi hurriedly entering the hall, and ordered loudly, "Tell Li Xun to increase manpower to strictly manage the Nine Princes' Mansion, and only allow entry and exit!" ”

"Yes."

Sheng Zhi hurriedly responded, and quickly walked out of the imperial study, and in less than a stick of incense, he said back and forth: "Your Majesty, Lord Li asks to see you." ”

"Xuan!" Li Jingyao was shocked, Li Xun should accompany the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to inquire in the Nine Princes' Mansion at this time, and suddenly asked to see him, but he was afraid that things had changed.

"The minister sees the emperor......" Li Xun took off his robe and was about to salute, but saw the person on the dragon chair waving his hand and said straight to the point, "What's wrong?" ”

"Not long ago, news came from the Criminal Department that it was found that Liu Wenlu was the one who ordered cloth for the rebels in Buzhuang, but ...... Unfortunately, he ran away......" Li Xun's heart was beating fast, and he didn't dare to look up at Li Jingyao.

In the past few days, things have surfaced one after another, and Li Jingyao, who has always been peaceful, has somehow gradually become a little irritable, and he is about to smash the teacup and smash the inkstone at every turn.

To Li Xun's surprise, Li Jingyao was silent for a long time before he said with a little tiredness: "What happened to those ladies in his house?" ”

"Also...... I lost ...... too."

The imperial study was so quiet that Li Xun's heartbeat could be heard, Li Jingyao walked in front of him, but only paused slightly, and continued to raise his feet and said: "Prepare the horse, I want to go to the palace in person." ”

"Yes!" Li Xun's answer was so loud.

When Li Xun went to prepare for the horse, the fourth prince happened to enter the palace, but this was not a coincidence, he heard about the Nine Princes' Mansion and rushed to the palace, but he didn't expect to meet Li Jingyao who was about to go out.

"Brother Huang, where are you going? It shouldn't be going to the Nine Princes' Mansion, right? "What is obviously different from Li Jingyao's gloomy face is that the smiling face of the fourth prince has a hint of schadenfreude under careful examination.

Originally, Li Jingyao's reprimand reached his throat, and he was almost about to blurt it out, but he swallowed it hard, thinking that he had wronged him before, so he allowed him to be a little bit of a little temperament, and nodded slightly.

"The younger brother is willing to escort the royal brother!" When the fourth prince said this, he was full of excitement, and he felt too excited, and hurriedly explained, "The palace is full of uneasy and well-meaning thieves, even people who can be trusted on weekdays don't know how many masks they have brought, and the royal brother's dragon body is expensive, so it won't be good if he gets a little injured." ”

"Okay, you can go with me." Li Jingyao lowered his eyes and glanced at him.

The fourth prince hurriedly followed his footsteps, and muttered: "With the courtier's brother here, even if something happens, the courtier's brother is willing to be the first to stand up and block all the dangers for the emperor's brother." ”

Although the fourth prince is not so good, Li Jingyao was still a little moved when he heard him say such a thing, after all, he is the younger brother of a mother's compatriot, how can he harm himself?
