Li Qi is here, as for the purpose of coming, you can guess without asking.

Sure enough, when Li Zhu and Li Jie's father and son held a banquet to entertain him, Li Qi first congratulated Li Jie on being canonized as a concubine, and then slowly expressed that he hoped that Li Jie would return home.

Hearing Li Qi's request, Li Zhu also looked at his son Li Jie, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it could be seen from his eyes that he still hoped that Li Jian would go back.

I saw Li Jie pondering for a moment but still refusing ruthlessly: "Don't hide it from the fifth uncle, even if I want to go back, I'm afraid I won't have time, today His Majesty just ordered me to inspect the coastal defense with the Duke of Xinguo, and I will set off the day after tomorrow, the time is extremely rushed, and I have a lot of things to prepare tomorrow, so I don't have time to go back at all!" ”

"Jie'er, you have to leave Beijing!" Li Zhu was startled when he heard this, and then he showed a worried look, after all, Li Jie was so old, and he had never left them.

"Father doesn't have to worry, with Xinguo Gong walking with me, there will definitely be no problems." Li Jie whispered comfort.

Although Li Qi felt that Li Jie's words were suspected of shirking, he was thin-skinned and embarrassed to break it, so he didn't force it anymore, but just cared about the purpose of Li Jie's trip.

After dinner, Li Zhu and Li Jie sent Li Qi away, but when they left, Li Qi seemed to want to say something to Li Jie, but in the end he didn't speak, and finally sighed and got into the carriage.

Watching Li Qi's carriage drift away, Li Zhu suddenly sighed, and then said to Li Jie: "Jie'er, I know that you have a grudge against your grandfather, but after all, blood is thicker than water, if possible, I still hope you can go back." ”

Li Jie was silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally took a long breath and said, "Let's wait until I come back!" ”

That night, Mrs. Li learned that Li Jie was going to travel far away, and she was distressed and shed tears, and immediately began to prepare luggage for Li Jie overnight.

Early the next morning, Li Zhu went to the Ordnance Bureau early, Li Jie didn't have to go to the palace, so he got up a little late, just when he was about to have breakfast, he didn't expect Liu Yi to rush in in a panic, and when he saw him, he shouted: "The incident happened, Jinyiwei began to arrest people!" ”

"What's going on?" Li Jie was also taken aback by the startled Liu Yi.

"Hu ...... Hu Prison has been reopened, and now Jinyiwei is arresting people everywhere, and many people have been implicated and arrested! Liu Yi sweated profusely and explained that Hu Weiyong's case was also known as Hu Prison because it was too widely implicated and too many people were arrested, and as long as people who experienced that period, almost all of them changed color when they mentioned Hu Prison, and now this nightmare has come again.

"So fast!" Li Jie didn't show a surprised look when he heard this, after all, he had long known that Zhu Yuanzhang would take advantage of the case of Yu's father and son to set off a bloody storm again.

"Cousin, you already knew about it?" Liu Yi looked at Li Jie's expression and asked in more surprise.

"I heard some rumors beforehand, cousin, let's get in the car and talk while walking!" Li Jie drank all the porridge for breakfast, then grabbed two more buns, said hello to Mrs. Li and left in a hurry.

"Where are we going?" Liu Yi got into the carriage and asked before he remembered it.

"Go to your house, I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, and I need to say goodbye to my uncle!" Li Jie swallowed the bun in a few bites, Zhu Yuanzhang had already done it, and he was not in the capital, so he had to say hello to Liu Ying in advance, and there were some things that Liu Ying also needed to know, first, to prevent him from being involved, and secondly, to let him help take care of the family.

"Where are you going?" Liu Yi also asked in surprise when he heard Li Jie's words.

Li Jie briefly explained that he was going to inspect the coast, and then asked about the current form of the capital, and who Jinyiwei had arrested?

Liu Yi also told what he knew at the moment, in fact, the arrest of Jinyiwei started last night, it was already midnight, and the Jinyiwei in the Zhenfu Division suddenly scattered out, smashed open the door of some people and began to arrest people, until this morning, dozens of families have been arrested, implicated in hundreds of people.

"Now the whole capital is shaken, everyone is scared and afraid to speak, you see that there are many fewer people on the street now!" Liu Yi finally opened the car window and pointed to the somewhat sparse pedestrians outside.

Li Jie found out that there are indeed more than half of the pedestrians on the street today, and at this time in the past, the street was already full, but now there are only three or two big cats and small cats on the street, but there are a lot more people patrolling the streets, and even occasionally you can see the murderous brocade guards riding horses galloping on the streets.

Looking at the scene on the street, Li Jie couldn't help but gasp, he finally understood what the anger of the Son of Heaven was now, Lao Zhu's thought could silence the whole country and everyone was in danger, and he even ran into him in front of him yesterday, and it was really his fate to survive.

"Cousin, what else do you know, will this incident involve us?" Liu Yi asked worriedly again at this time, although his father was just an Anle Marquis and never got involved in the affairs of the court, but under this kind of heavenly authority, no one dared to say that he was absolutely safe.

"Don't worry, my uncle should have been prepared, I will tell him a few more words, there should be no problem." Li Jie smiled and comforted that he had been preparing for this day since he crossed over, and although he had experienced many twists and turns, he had generally achieved his goal.

Hearing Li Jie say this, Liu Yi was also a lot more relieved, when they came to the Yihui Hou Mansion, Liu Ying was really waiting for them, and at that moment Li Jie told Liu Ying some of the inside information he knew, and told him what he needed to pay attention to, with Liu Ying's cleverness, he immediately understood what Li Jie meant.

At noon, Liu Ying set up a banquet, which was regarded as seeing off Li Jie in advance, and in the afternoon, Li Jie went to the glass workshop and the clairvoyance workshop, although there were officials in charge here, but he also participated in a lot of things, so he also needed to explain before leaving.

In the end, Li Jie came to the Ordnance Bureau again, and there were also some things that he needed to deal with over there, but when Li Zhu learned that he was coming, he immediately came, and Li Jie also smiled bitterly when he saw Li Zhu: "Father, have you heard about it too?" ”

"It's hard for me to know about such a big thing, now everyone in the city is in danger, do you think this matter will involve your grandfather?" Li Zhu also showed a worried expression in the end, no matter how bad Li Shanchang was to him at the beginning, he still couldn't give up his flesh and blood affection.

"I don't know!" Li Jie was silent for a moment before replying, obviously he lied, if nothing else, Li Shanchang should soon be involved, to be exact, it should be Li Shanchang who jumped in by himself.

"Jie'er, I know you still have some complaints about your grandfather in your heart, but he is also your grandfather anyway, so if possible, I still hope you can help him!" Li Zhu also felt that Li Jie was not telling the truth, and persuaded him again at the moment.

"Father, I've done enough, but there are some things that can't be done by others alone, the key is to depend on his own choice!" Li Jie also defended himself very helplessly, he had warned Li Shanchang to let him leave Beijing early, but he himself dragged his feet and refused to leave, but now it is good, it is too late to leave.

"But ......" Li Zhu seemed to want to defend his father, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, after all, what Li Jie said was also the truth, if his father left Beijing earlier, why worry about the current situation?

Looking at his father's painful expression, Li Jie was also a little unbearable, and after hesitating again and again, he finally sighed, then walked to the bookcase, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter and put it in an envelope.

"Father, this is the last thing I can do for him!" Li Jie turned around and handed the letter to Li Zhudao.

"Great, I knew you wouldn't sit idly by!" Li Zhu was also ecstatic immediately, and was about to open the letter after receiving it.

However, Li Jie stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Father, this letter is not for you, but for grandfather, but you must promise me two conditions!" ”

"You say! Not to mention two conditions, even twenty conditions are fine! Li Zhu also nodded immediately when he heard this.

"First, you are not allowed to peek at this letter! Second, you can't give the letter to your grandfather until I leave tomorrow, and you can't give it to him personally, but to the fifth uncle, who will then pass it on to him! The two conditions put forward by Li Jie are also for Li Zhu's sake, especially the second one, if Li Zhu personally sends the letter, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"No problem, I made a note of it!" Li Zhu immediately put away the letter when he heard this, and these two conditions were not difficult to achieve.

Li Jie also believes in his father's character very much, as long as he agrees, he will definitely do it, so he is also relieved, and then he told Li Zhu some words, although he has already asked Zhu Yuanzhang for a guarantee, but the premise is that Li Zhu himself does not jump into that whirlpool.
