Chapter 353: Punish No One
Suddenly, I heard someone outside the door shouting: "The Li family takes the order." ”
Mother Li just sat down in the hall, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and thought to herself: "The holy decree has arrived, and the old body will quickly take the decree." ”
The maids were busy washing their faces with their wives, and then they helped her out, just in time for the person who came to deliver the holy decree.
Mother Li hurriedly leaned down and knelt down and said, "The Li family takes the order." ”
That person doesn't matter if it's Lord Li or Mrs. Li, in short, the will will will be passed to their Li family. Therefore, the man stood still, looked at Mrs. Li dressed neatly, and thought to himself: "It's okay now, Miss Cai can't speak ill of me in front of the emperor." ”
As soon as the decree was opened, the man began to read it, from beginning to end, in one go. The sound of the thought is moving, and the power of intimidation is terrifying. After reciting the holy decree, the man then asked, "Mrs. Li, where is your daughter Qingzhao now?" ”
Li Qingzhao also put on his clothes, and he didn't dare to slack off because it was a holy decree, so he hurriedly came over and said from afar: "Li Qingzhao, a folk girl, come to receive the holy decree." ”
Thinking of the woman in her boudoir in the past, but now she has become a people's daughter, Li Qingzhao paused for a moment, but immediately blinked her eyes again, and hurriedly came over and knelt down beside her mother.
The man asked loudly, "Li Qingzhao, where is your child now?" ”
"Kid?" Li Qingzhao muttered to himself and began to cry again.
The man said, "Didn't you hear me just now when I recited the decree?" The Holy Dao, since we want to punish the old party, we must punish it thoroughly. You and Zhao Defu already have children, presumably the lotus silk is tight, and it is difficult to break it off. ”
Li Qingzhao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, my lord." Now that you know, be kind enough to let us go. ”
The man said aloud, "Let you go? The emperor's holy word, who dares to oppose it? It is said in the Holy Decree. Your children will be sent to the capital to be disposed of by the emperor. ”
Li Qingzhao was puzzled: "Little child, what crime did you commit?" ”
The man glared at him and said to Li Qingzhao: "The emperor speaks, do you dare to object?" The emperor said that if the lotus root is broken, it is difficult to connect the silk. That's what you can do. You and Zhao Defu will be separated, and your children will also be sent to the capital. Seeing the holy decree is like seeing the holy one, quickly. Send your children out. ”
Cai Nu was on the side, although she knew the majesty of the holy decree, but at this time she couldn't help but ask: "What is the punishment for sending the child to the capital?" ”
The man smiled at Miss Cai again: "The villain only cares about passing on the decree. Nothing else. ”
Cai Nu secretly clenched her fists. I was nervous and didn't know what to do.
Li Qingzhao just cried alone, but didn't care about anything else.
Mother Li looked back and said to the man: "As soon as the child was born, he was caught in the wind and rain and died. ”
When the man heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he hurriedly pointed at Mother Li and said angrily: "Nonsense, the emperor has already found out." Li Qingzhao and Zhao Defu have children, how could they die young? “
Cai Nu saw that the man was right. I thought to myself, "How can he be so sure?" ”
Suddenly, her eyes suddenly opened, and Cai Nu thought of the scene when she went back to the capital to see her father.
It turned out that Cai Nu was summoned back to Beijing, regardless of the ice and snow along the way, she kept rushing back, and she only thought about going back to the capital to see her father, begging him to open the net and release herself, so that she would never return to Beijing from then on.
But when Cai Nu returned to the capital, she went to see her father. When Cai Jing saw her daughter, she was busy comforting and rejoicing. Cai Nu and her father briefly talked about the old days, and asked her father about things, Cai Jing laughed and said to Cai Nu: "Their Li family is going to be over." ”
At that time, Cai Nu didn't say much, and Cai Jing only thought that her daughter was just a lively child, and she would not participate in political affairs, and she doted on her daughter more, so she told Cai Nu everything she thought in her heart. He explained to Cai Nu that Li Qingzhao, the daughter of the Li family, wrote letters to Zhao Defu several times, and he also knew a thing or two about the content of the letter. So he concluded that Li Qingzhao already had a son.
At that time, Cai Jing also said angrily to Cai Nu: "Li Qingzhao wants to give birth to a child, why is he still giving birth to you?" ”
Cai Nu knew in her heart that her brother must have denounced herself, so she said it badly, which made her father happy. But Cai Jing still didn't give up: "From today on, you have to have less contact with Yuanyou." ”
Thinking of this, Cai Nudeng understood that her father had spoken ill of the Li family in front of the emperor, which made the emperor decree that the child should be sent to the capital.
Cai Nu thought about it for a long time, but suddenly came back to her senses, and heard her sister-in-law say: "Qingzhao and Xianggong did have a child, and they gave birth to Miss Cai." Miss Cai, did you say yes? ”
Cai Nu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Li Qingzhao then cried: "It's a pity...... The child is frail and sickly, and he died a few days ago......"
Later, Li Qingzhao couldn't cry, in fact, when it came to the "premature death" of the child, Li Qingzhao was thinking in his heart: "Where did Daddy send the child?" I don't know if the child has woken up now. ”
The man held the holy decree in his hand, only surprised, looked at Li Mu and Li Qingzhao, muttered in his heart, and secretly thought: "No, what they said makes people feel absurd and grotesque when they hear it, and it is hard to believe." But under the divine decree, who dares to tell lies? This is a crime of deception. ”
After pondering for a long time, it was difficult for the man to determine.
Cai Nu looked at that person, saw him holding the holy decree in his hand, his eyes turned in circles, and thought to herself, "He is still wondering." ”
So he took the initiative to go over and shouted boldly: "Hey, the emperor can say, what should I do if the child has died?" ”
The man was stunned, turned to look at Miss Cai, and shook his head helplessly.
Li Qingzhao looked up at Miss Cai, feeling a little happy in his heart, knowing that Miss Cai was helping him, he thought: "Lord Cai's status is noble, and Miss Cai also has the confidence to dare to speak like this in front of the Holy Decree, which is really bold." ”
Cai Nu nodded, put her finger to her mouth, as if secretly thinking, and said, "Oh, according to what you said, what should I do?" Now that the child is gone, can't you send another one to the court immediately, right? ”
When the man heard this, he always felt that Miss Cai's words were joking with himself, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Ridiculous, how can there be such a practice?" ”
Cai Nu nodded, and then leaned down as well. Then he fell on his knees, and knocked his head three times, and said to the man, "So so." Yun'er also invited the saint to open the net. ”
The man looked left and right, and didn't know what to do, but he looked at the holy decree again, and in desperation, he nodded and said, "The little one will play the emperor." But...... And what about Zhao Defu? Where did the others go? Why don't you come to the order? ”
Cai Nu said: "Zhao Gongzi is not here at all, where can I come to receive the order?" ”
The man said: "Ridiculous. Lord Zhao said in front of the emperor that Zhao Defu went out of Beijing without permission and did not know where to go. So to speak. If he doesn't come to Qingzhou, where can he go? ”
Cai Nu kowtowed again and said, "Holy and sage." It's just that there is really no Zhao Gongzi here. ”
The man was surprised, and thought to himself, "Miss Cai is also bold. dared to refute the emperor's decree. This, that...... Prime Minister Cai is below one person and above 10,000 people. Miss Cai relies on her father's high position, so it is reasonable to be so presumptuous. But what can I do? ”
Cai Nu looked at the man, her face was nervous, and then she said again: "Seeing the holy decree is like seeing the emperor, Yun'er doesn't dare to talk nonsense." Zhao Gongzi has been gone for many days and is not in Qingzhou City. ”
Li Qing looked at Miss Cai. At this time, the desire jumped out of his heart, and he secretly thought: "Such a big lie." Does Miss Cai dare to lie too? ”
Scared in his heart, Li Qingzhao put his hands on the ground, lowered his head directly, trembling all over, and didn't know why.
Cai Nu was naturally flustered, only feeling that her heartbeat was violent, but she restrained herself strongly, and secretly thought: "Zhao Gongzi can't come out, if he comes out, he will inevitably be punished by the emperor." In order to maintain his majesty in front of the hundred officials, the emperor naturally had to punish Zhao Gongzi heavily, in order to show that the emperor refuted the heart of Yuanyou's old man. Therefore, no matter what, Zhao Gongzi can't come out. Yun'er is really bold, but bold is bold, with Daddy's support, I will be fine. ”
The man looked down at the decree and thought to himself, "What should I do now?" The two meanings explained by the emperor have not come to pass. The child died young, and Zhao Defu is not there, how can I go back to the republic? ”
Li Qingzhao slowly raised his head, looked at the man, saw his panicked expression, and thought in his heart: "Forget it, even if it is a big lie, you should tell it." Xianggong has now offended the holy wrath and cannot return to the capital. ”
Therefore, he slapped his hands on the ground, only to feel a chill from the palm of his hand to his heart, Li Qingzhao kowtowed: "What Miss Cai said is true, he has been gone for several months and has not returned." ”
When Mother Li heard this, her heart trembled, and then she also said: "Yes, Mingcheng never came back." ”
The man: "This, that ......"
Cai Nu said to the man: "If you don't believe it, just send someone to search." ”
Li Qingzhao stared at Miss Cai, and thought to himself: "Xianggong is at home, wouldn't it be found out if people came to search for it?" ”
Cai Nu looked at her sister-in-law, her eyes were a little more confident, Li Qingzhao looked at Miss Cai's eyes, and thought to herself: "Miss Cai is here to help us, her approach must be right, Qingzhao doesn't need to interject." ”
Therefore, Li Qingzhao hurriedly lowered his head again and kowtowed silently.
When the man heard this, he muttered in his heart: "Let me send someone to search, I came to Qingzhou alone, where can I find someone?" ”
Looking around, apart from the people of the Li family, where else are there people? The man was helpless, lowered his head and thought, "Since Miss Cai said so, there must be no mistake." But why did she stop me? ”
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and the man thought to himself, "Miss Cai can't really lie to me, right?" ”
Cai Nu looked at that person, knowing in her heart what the person was muttering, so she said: "The soldiers in Qingzhou City, but the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they are loyal, and naturally they will not favor the Li family." If the adults don't believe me, then go to them and search them. ”
The man nodded, feeling that what Miss Cai said was reasonable, and was somewhat flattered to hear that Miss Cai called herself an "adult", so he nodded and smiled: "Okay, just follow what Miss Cai said." ”
Cai Nu nodded and said, "Then the adult will write to Zhizhou and ask him to send someone in person, so it won't be wrong." ”
The man nodded, then took a pen and paper to write the letter, and found someone to send it to Zhizhou at will. The new governor was appointed by the imperial court, so there must be no mistake.
After a short time, Zhizhou personally led people to search. But I searched inside and out, but I still couldn't find anything, and I searched several times, but there was still no figure of Zhao Gongzi.
Cai Nu said to the man: "My lord, there is no shadow of Zhao Gongzi here, do you believe it now?" ”
The man wondered, "What's going on?" Could it be that Zhao Defu is really not here? ”
But why did Miss Cai stop it?
The man really didn't know what to do, but he couldn't figure it out, so he asked Miss Cai again, "Why is Miss Cai here?" ”
Cai Nu shrugged her shoulders and said, "Daddy sent me, do you care?" Since Zhao Gongzi has not been found, then you ...... my lord"
That person can't find the child, and he can't find Zhao Defu, how to reply to the will? I was very angry in my heart, and when I saw Miss Cai's sluggish face, but there was a hidden smile, I was even more resentful in my heart, and said bluntly: "Since Zhao Gongzi is not here, it may not be impossible for him to hide anywhere." ”
Cai Nu nodded and said, "What the lord said is that if Yun'er catches him, he will definitely send him to the capital, and he will not dare to slack off." ”
When the man heard this, in desperation, he asked again, "Where is Master Li?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Cai Nu looked at her sister-in-law.
Li Qingzhao nodded hurriedly and said, "Daddy went out of the city to visit relatives, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
The man thought to himself: "Because of Miss Cai's face, I have been holding back and not asking. Why isn't Master Lee here? There must be something strange about this. Now that Li Qingzhao says this, who believes it? It's just that I don't have the evidence and can't say it anymore. ”
After looking down and thinking about it, the man nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, the little one will go back to his life." ”
Cai Nu stepped forward and said, "Yun'er will send you off." ”
Li Qingzhao stared at them closely behind Miss Cai, and when they walked out of the house, they saw that the Zhizhou generals had received the soldiers, so they hurriedly returned to the house, and searched for a long time, but they still couldn't see Xianggong's figure, and he was strange in his heart, and secretly thought: "Xianggong is still here, why is there no one all of a sudden?" ”
However, Li Qingzhao also breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "If the minister is not there, it is better than being arrested by the imperial court." ”
Suddenly, Li Qingzhao felt gloomy again, his heart was full of mixed tastes, looking at the emptiness in his room, and recalling the scene of himself and Xianggong playing with the child yesterday, his heart was sour, and he thought: "It only takes one day's work, and it is a matter of things and people." Xianggong, where are you? Child, are you awake? Do you want to clear the picture? ”
Suddenly weak, Li Qingzhao reached out to hold the door and tried to hold it, so he barely managed to prevent himself from falling, the bed in the room in front of him was neatly made, but there was no longer the happy family of the past, how to make himself gloomy.
Haoyue came over and hurriedly shouted, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”
Reaching out to support the young lady, Haoyue said to the young lady: "Miss, do you want to call the doctor?" ”
Li Qingzhao waved his hand and said, "No, Qingzhao just sighs about life." Hmph, I can only be sentimental. Haoyue, why are you here? ”
Haoyue said: "Miss Cai and Lu Gongzi sent that person away outside the city, but they quarreled with each other. ”
Li Qingzhao's eyes widened, he was full of energy, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
Haoyue hurriedly helped the young lady and said, "Miss, you go slowly, don't hurt your body." ”
Li Qingzhao shook his head, for fear that they would have another misunderstanding, so he said, "Let's go quickly." Don't hesitate. Where are they? (To be continued......)
