It was the same as when they were on the morning this morning, but the man who was left behind had changed.

After Hongli left, Hongshi had been standing quietly aside, not saying anything, quietly breathing the air with a trace of foul smell, he knew that it was far better not to speak at this time than to speak, Tu Lichen would naturally ask him when he wanted to ask, otherwise he would not be left alone.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tu Lichen to say: "Lord Wang, the old man can recognize that those two heads are Ping'er and Hongying, did you kill them?" ”

Hongshi was shocked in his heart, Tu Lichen really believed Hongli's words, how is this good, damn it, Tu Lichen is not a little person like Ping'er, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, he is in an important position, if he kills him like this, he will not escape the investigation, and everything he has worked hard will be ruined; But if you don't kill him and let him tell Huang Ama about this, he will also lose all the chips in his hand!

When he was panicking and didn't know what to do, he suddenly felt a spirit, no, if Tu Lichen really believed in Hongli's words, he would not let Hongli leave, leaving himself here, this is not reasonable at all, it is very likely...... He's trying himself.

The more Hongshi thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, especially when he saw Tu Lichen's gaze at him, which was not full of disgust when he first saw him, but doubts occupied more.

Thinking of this, Hongshi put his mind at ease and said with a face full of grievances: "Boss, I really haven't done it, what do you have to say before you believe it." ”

Hongshi guessed correctly, Tu Lichen was testing him, wanting to see how Hongshi would react, and now seeing Hongshi's blind aggrieved, he couldn't help but mutter, did he really not kill Ping'er and Hongying, but what explanation did the two heads make.

As soon as this thought came out of his mind, he heard Hongshi say: "Boss, you have helped me so much, how can I do unkind and unjust things to you, I can swear that Ping'er and Hongying really left the capital in good shape, and I definitely didn't embarrass them, let alone kill anyone." ”

"What about the two heads that Prince Bao brought? Also, how would Prince Bao know that what Lu Dao Hongying said was not true, no one knew about this matter except for you and me and Hongying. Hearing Tu Lichen ask, Hongshi sighed heavily and said: "Boss, Hongli is the same as his mother, they are both cunning people by nature, since I returned to Beijing from Henan to be reused by the emperor Ama, he looked at me everywhere I didn't like it, felt that I was in his way, and wanted to get rid of it quickly, so it was not unusual for him to go to the mass grave to pick up two heads to frame me." As for the fact that Hongli will know that what Hongying said is not true, alas, I also blame me, I was negligent in talking to him a few days ago, and I leaked my mouth, so that he took the opportunity to make trouble. Seeing that Tu Lichen was still suspicious, he took a deep breath and said: "There is one more thing, I dare not hide it from the boss, the reason why I came here at this time is indeed not a coincidence. Since I vented my mouth a few days ago, I have been worried that Hongli will secretly make trouble, so let people stare at him, but just now someone came to report, saying that Hongli came to your house, I can't rest assured, so come and see, how do I really let me see such a thing, Hongli is too despicable. ”

After listening to Hongshi's words, Tu Lichen was silent for a long time before he said, "You really didn't kill anyone?" ”

"You still don't believe it." Hongshi shook his head, showing a tired look, "That's it, if you believe Hongli's words, it's up to you, in short, I am worthy of my heart." That's all I say, and I take my leave! ”

After a long time, he sighed and called his subordinates to help him to the study, and after the subordinates grinded, he wrote down a letter and handed it to Yinzhen on the second morning.

Whether it is Hongshi or Hongli, when he saw the folds he handed back, his heart was raised, especially Hongshi, until he left yesterday, he couldn't try Tu Lichen's true attitude, saying that he believed that Hongli was not like, but to say that he believed that he was not like it. For this reason, he did not close his eyes all night.

While the two were waiting nervously, Yinzhen opened the fold, and when he saw the content of the compromise, his sword eyebrows suddenly raised, and he raised his eyes and said, "Do you want to be a scholar?" ”

Zhishi? Hongshi and Hongli are both stunned, why is it such an excerpt, shouldn't it be......

At that time, after listening to Yinzhen's words, Tu Lichen bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, his old eyes are dizzy, and his memory is not as good as day by day, and he is not qualified for the errand assigned by the emperor, and the old minister has been away from his hometown for a long time, and he misses his hometown very much, and he wants to go back to his hometown to recuperate. ”

Until Hongshi left, Tu Lichen didn't know which person he should believe, and he couldn't be sure if it was the head of Ping'er and Hongying. Unable to make a decision, he finally made the decision to return to his hometown after several considerations.

In fact, in his selfish heart, he believes in Hongli more, because Hongshi does have many suspicious things; But on the other hand, he didn't believe that Hiroshi, who he had always valued, would do such a cruel thing as killing people and killing people, and if this thing was true, he would indirectly harm two innocent people.

After listening to his words, Yin Zhen said, "Why is it so sudden? I've never heard you mention it before. ”

"The old minister wanted to be a minister last year, but too many things happened last year, so he has been trying his best to hold on until now, and now the old minister's energy is declining, it is really not enough to cope with the errand, and I hope the emperor will be compassionate."

Yin Zhen nodded and said, "Since this is the case, this matter, I will agree." After that, he said to Sixi: "Two thousand taels of silver will be allocated from the inner treasury and sent to Tufu." ”

Hearing this, Tu Lichen hurriedly knelt down and excused himself: "The old minister is ashamed to accept it. ”

Yin Zhen raised his hand and said: "In the past few decades, I have seen what you have done for the Qing Dynasty, and now that you are going back to your hometown, I will give you two thousand taels of silver for the passage is not much." Without waiting for Tu Lichen to excuse himself, he already said: "Okay, this matter is decided." ”

Tu Lichen had to retreat after hearing this, and after he was able to go down, Hongshi was the first to walk to Tu Lichen's side and said with concern: "Boss, do you really want to return to your hometown?" ”

Tu Lichen nodded and said: "Yes, the old minister has made up his mind, and please don't persuade Prince Ding anymore." ”

Hongshi sighed slightly and said: "The departure of the old man is really a big loss to the imperial court, when the old man is going to leave, I will send you when the time comes." ”

"Just these few days, the prince doesn't have to bother, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed, and gathering and scattering is a common thing." Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said: "The old minister has a sentence for the prince, I don't know if the prince is interested in listening to it." ”
