After Li Yuan received Zhong Shiqing's invitation, he immediately went to the Criminal Department. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhong Shiqing pulled Li Yuan into the living room, closed the door, and said, "You must know about Kong Wuli's execution. ”

"Well, it was outside the execution ground." Li Yuan nodded.

He saw Kong Wuli's parents walking past him with the bag containing Kong Wuli's head, crying and crying.

It can be seen that they are very sad.

Zhong Shiqing pulled Li Yuan to sit down, and continued: "Your Majesty has instructed the disposal of Feng Hong, Fang Wendong and Bai Zekui - all of them will be beheaded. ”

Zhong Shiqing had just received this instruction, and he guessed that Li Yuan should not know about it yet.

Sure enough, Li Yuan was greatly moved when he heard this, and looked at the sky outside the window with tears in his eyes: "Daddy, the three people who framed you back then have all been beheaded, and you can look at them under Jiuquan." ”

He wept as he spoke, looking rather embarrassed.

It was the first time since his parents died, that he cried so fiercely and so freely.

Zhong Shiqing smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

When Li Yuan finally regained his composure and turned his face to Zhong Shiqing, the latter said, "Then, it's time to deal with your participation in the scientific expedition under a false identity." ”

At the mention of this, the expressions of both of them instantly became serious.

The worst result is to be beheaded, Li Yuan is not unaware.

On that day, many old ministers such as Miyazawa Tetsu and Yun Yiting made a request to the emperor about this matter in the early dynasty, but the emperor did not accept everyone's opinions.

In that case, the fact that he was going to be cut in half is irrevocable.

Li Yuan didn't want to die, he was still so young, he hadn't even kissed a woman's mouth, and he hadn't started a family yet, of course he was unwilling to die. However, his original action did violate the law, and he had nothing to say about this punishment.

He estimated that he might have to face this matter in less than three days. He planned to meet Wen Yingsu tomorrow morning.

But what made him wonder was why the emperor knew about this and gave instructions, but he didn't arrest him for a long time?

He didn't know that it was because the prince had made accommodation.

But when he was talking to Zhong Shiqing like this, he was vaguely aware.

"If so, do you have anything to say? Or is there anyone else you'd like to meet? Zhong Shiqing asked with concern.

Zhong Shiqing admires Li Yuan very much, so he is happy to do his best for him.

Li Yuan shook his head.

"You should still have relatives in the capital, right?" Zhong Shiqing asked.

"Yes, yes, but the relationship is very average, and besides, I don't want them to see my current situation." Li Yuan said, his eyes were a little gloomy.

Zhong Shiqing sighed, unable to do anything about this matter.

Suddenly, Zhong Shiqing thought of something, took Li Yuan's hand and asked in a low voice, "Your sister...... Have you checked her whereabouts? ”

As far as Zhong Shiqing knew, after the Buxun case occurred, the imperial court sent people to the lower reaches of the Dawang River to inquire, but no one had heard of anyone finding a body drifting around.

Therefore, Zhong Shiqing boldly guessed that Li Yuan's sister might still be alive. Moreover, he found that Li Yuan never checked his sister's whereabouts. This made him even more suspicious.

What Li Yuan is most worried about now is that his sister's identity will be exposed, so he shook his head and said, "No." My sister doesn't know how to be water-based, so it's supposed to be gone. ”

"But her body hasn't been found downstream, don't you think you should go and check it out?" Zhong Shiqing said again.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Forget it." Even if she did survive, Zai Xia didn't want her to be known by others. That would be bad for her after all. ”

"I understand, I'm just trying to say - if you really want to find her, I'm here to help you." Zhong Shiqing smiled.

"Thank you! But no. ”

Zhong Shiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, according to the procedure, my side will interrogate you tomorrow, so you should be ready." ”

In fact, the emperor has already given instructions, and the three divisions just symbolically go through the process.

However, Zhong Shiqing still hopes to take this opportunity to delay as much as possible to see if things have taken a turn for the better.

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

"His Royal Highness has also secretly made a lot of efforts for this matter, but the final judgment is up to His Majesty, and he can't help it." Zhong Shiqing looked at Li Yuan and said.

Li Yuandao: "I know that His Royal Highness has done his best, and I am very grateful to him." ”

Zhong Shiqing smiled. It's good that Li Yuan can think so.

Li Yuan suddenly remembered the letter sent by the prince to him secretly this morning, in which the prince said that when Li Yuan got the results of the trial of the three divisions, he would arrange for him to secretly flee to the small island in the southwest, and the expression in Li Yuan's eyes changed slightly.

If he really escaped according to the prince's arrangement, then the emperor would have quickly thought that this was the prince's doing, and the prince would not have to suffer a heavy punishment at that time. So, didn't he even tire the crown prince?

If the prince had three long and two short, Wen Yingsu's life would not be easy.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's heart ached faintly.

Their family has been ruined, and their brother and sister finally survived, and finally overturned the case for their parents with the help of the prince and a group of good people, and after these hardships have been overcome, he hopes that his sister can always live happily and steadily.

There is nothing more desirable for their brother and sister than happiness and stability.

Therefore, Li Yuan decided to make an appointment with the prince tonight.

After saying goodbye to Zhong Shiqing, Li Yuan returned to his residence and picked up a pen to write a letter to Wen Yingsu.

As soon as he finished writing, he sent someone to deliver the letter.

The place where he lived was not very far from the East Palace, so he estimated that Wen Yingsu would receive the letter before the sun went down.

Indeed, Wen Yingsu received the letter before the sun went down.

At that time, the prince had not yet returned, so she waited while making cloth shoes for the unborn baby.

When the prince returned, it was already dark, and Wen Yingsu immediately showed the prince the letter written by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said in the letter that he was waiting for them in the Xinghua Village teahouse not far from the East Palace at this time.

The prince immediately took Wen Yingsu to the Xinghua Village teahouse.

Li Yuan had been waiting inside for a long time, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

After the three of them sat down, Li Yuan said to the prince: "Your Highness's letter has been received below, and after careful consideration, you still decided not to escape." ”

Wen Yingsu realized that the prince had a way out for Li Yuan, and she was immediately grateful and relieved, and her gaze at the prince became even more tender. However, when she thought that Li Yuan would only die if he didn't escape, she couldn't help but feel sad.

My brother is her only relative in this world, how can she be willing to let him die?

But what could she do? She was deeply sorry for her powerlessness and felt deeply helpless.

Dear friends, the second watch is here.
