finally found a clue, Li Le and the two naturally did not give up, and personally checked the identity of the businessman.

After finding out that the merchant often lived in an inn, Li Le and the others went to inquire about a few nearby shops to see if they knew anything about it.

"You say this merchant, he is a tea seller, but I have bought a lot of tea from their family." A shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

"Do you know anything else?" Li Le continued to ask.

"No, isn't it just a businessman, and is there any other identity?" The shopkeeper felt that Li Le's question was a little strange.

"Alright then, thanks." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Li Le had no choice but to give up.

Then he met with Mu Changjin, and the results were the same, not only the shopkeeper, but even the innkeeper never felt that there was anything wrong with this merchant.

Li Le frowned slightly, since he was able to have a financial connection with Chu Jing, this identity was definitely not ordinary.

Sometimes, the more normal the identity on the surface, but in fact there is a big problem.

"If you continue to investigate, you will definitely be able to find something unusual." Mu Changjin said in a deep voice, this clue can't be broken here.

"Okay." Li Le responded, and the two went to find the owner of the inn again.

The boss saw Mu Changjin go and return, and said helplessly: "Little Hou Ye, I said that I really don't know what other identity this businessman has, what do you want me to say." ”

"Don't worry, I'm just asking a few other simple questions." Mu Changjin responded with a smile and sat down very casually, but he had a sense of not giving up without asking anything.

Li Le looked at the inn and vaguely had a direction.

Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked aloud: "Do you know where this merchant's tea is sold?" ”

The boss thought for a moment and replied, "I seem to have heard him mention that it seems to be sold to other countries, and it won't be long before I have to run outside, but I think it's quite hard." ”

Hearing this, Li Le and Mu Changjin glanced at each other, since this is the case, it is right, this can be used as evidence that Chu Jing colluded with the enemy country to plot rebellion.

"Okay, we've got the answer we want, remember what I said, we can't reveal anything about you to anyone." Mu Changjin said sharply.

"The little marquis has already commanded, how dare I talk more." The boss was busy.

In this way, Mu Changjin and Li Le were relieved, after leaving the inn, Li Le thought about the evidence they had found in recent days, although there was no direct proof, but together, they were already somewhat related.

"I think this evidence is enough, why don't we go and report to the emperor, we can't wait for Chu Jing to make the next move, by that time, but it's too late." Li Le proposed.

Mu Changjin was still a little hesitant, "But if the emperor doesn't believe it, then what's going on?" ”

"No, the emperor has been suspicious by nature since ancient times, and with all the troubles that Chu Jing caused before, it is enough." Li Le said confidently, she didn't believe that she couldn't defeat Chu Jing for such a crime of colluding with the enemy country.

"Okay then," Mu Changjin saw that Li Le had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything anymore and agreed with her words.

After deciding, Li Le took the evidence and Mu Changjin into the palace to meet the saint.

This is the first time that the two of them have entered the palace after returning from the frontier, and the emperor is handling government affairs in the imperial study.

"Why did you come to Beijing in advance, and you didn't say a word, so that I could arrange someone to pick you up." The emperor said with a smile, then looked at Li Le and praised, "I heard about your great achievements on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that your Li family's sons and daughters are so brave and good at fighting." ”

"The emperor has won awards, these are all things that courtiers should do, and it is my duty to share my father's worries." Li Le responded with a salute.

For Mu Changjin, the emperor's face was a little displeased, after all, he had disobeyed the holy decree many times, if it weren't for the merit, he would have been guilty long ago.

The politeness is enough, and Li Le has not forgotten the main purpose of his coming over this time.

"Your Majesty, Changjin and I came rashly this time because we have something important to report to you." Li Le said with a serious expression.

"What's the matter? Haven't all the enemy forces been repulsed, and what else matters? The emperor asked, very unconcerned.

Li Le pursed his lips, handed the evidence to his father-in-law one by one, and said loudly: "On the way to Beijing, Changjin and I heard that the six princes had the intention of colluding with the enemy country to try to rebel, so the two of us simply went to find out, and found these in the mansion of the six princes, which was enough to convict. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's face became ugly, and he was even more disappointed with Chu Jing.

Since the crown prince was deposed, the emperor has valued Chu Jing very much, but he never thought that his son would do such an unsightly thing.

Looking at this evidence, the emperor's expression became more and more gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly, without making a sound.

Things have come to this point, and the emperor doesn't know what to do.

The crown prince, who had high hopes before, made all kinds of mistakes, and at the suggestion of many courtiers, the prince was deposed.

And Chu Jing is deep in mind and has the ability to serve as the emperor, but he is not in the right place, he has framed his siblings many times, and he has tried to shake the foundation of the country.

The Nine Emperors have no imperial power, and they have no intention of doing this court, even if the emperor intends to recommend it, he can't support Adou on the wall.

The other princes are even more unbearable, each more incompetent than the other.

Now in the face of the evidence that Li Le came up with, the emperor sighed, he didn't want to kill Chu Jing completely, otherwise this Western Chu would probably have to change his name and surname in the future.

I had to choose to turn a blind eye and speak: "I know that the two of you are dedicated to the court, but in my opinion, these don't prove anything. ”

"Your Majesty, although these are not fatal enough to be fatal, they are enough to illustrate the fact that they have dealings with the enemy, and as the prince of Western Chu, he has intersected with the enemy country many times, which is fundamentally abnormal." Li Le said, wanting the emperor to believe the evidence they had found.

But the emperor has made up his mind and does not intend to treat Chu Jing's crimes, "You say so much, it's just a guess, and there is no definite evidence." ”

"But isn't it all evidence that you just saw, do you need anything?" This time, even Mu Changjin couldn't bear it anymore and said out loud.

"You two are just too suspicious, don't worry about these things or not, don't say more." The Emperor waved his hand, not intending to say anything more to the two of them.

Seeing the emperor's performance, Li Le and the others were very disappointed, this evidence had been placed in front of the emperor, but he still acted as if he hadn't seen it.

After knowing that the emperor had such an attitude, Li Le sighed and said, "Since this is the case, Changjin and I will retire first, and I hope that the emperor can think about it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the emperor's orders, he pulled Mu Changjin and opened the imperial study.

After leaving the palace, Mu Changjin saw that Li Le's mood was not high, reached out to hug her, and said softly: "Actually, the emperor is also embarrassed, no matter what, Chu Jing is also a prince, his son, and it is difficult to attack his own son." ”

"I know what you said, but once Chu Jing succeeds and colludes with the enemy country, then the people of Western Chu will inevitably be doomed, and will that situation be what the emperor wants to see?" Li Le said in a deep voice, the reason why she desperately wanted to bring down Chu Jing was not only for herself, but also for those people.

"But they are in the royal family, and those of us who are courtiers are bent on helping, but we are also powerless." Mu Changjin sighed.

He didn't have the same mind as Li Le, but he knew that the situation facing the emperor was even more difficult, and he could understand it.

"Forget it, we have all fulfilled our duties as courtiers, even if something happens in the future, I will not feel guilty in my heart." Li Le said with a serious expression.

The two had the same idea, since there was no way to convince the emperor, there was no need for them to continue to investigate, so they could only leave.

The soldiers who came back had not yet entered the city, and Li Le and Mu Changjin knew that they could not be exposed, so they made a detour and re-entered the team.

Mu Changjin asked the soldiers who had been arranged in advance, and said, "Didn't anything happen when I was away, right?" ”

"No, everything went uneventful all the way, and no one noticed that you and Miss Li were not in the team." The soldier said truthfully.

"That's good, keep going." Mu Changjin commanded.

Together with the team, the two returned to the capital openly.

Knowing that this time they had won the battle and defended their homeland, the people of the capital left their homes without exception and gathered at the gate of the city, waiting one after another.

Finally, the city gate was opened, and Li Le and Mu Changjin led the soldiers in.

In an instant, the whole city cheered, and the people all praised: "They won the battle and protected us." ”

"Yes, Miss Li and Little Marquis are really a match made in heaven, and they will not lose to any general on the battlefield."

"These are people we deserve respect." All the people spoke were praise.

Li Le and Mu Changjin walked in the front, watching the people on the side cheering, and their hearts were also moved, it was because of these people who supported them that they could win on the battlefield.

The soldiers were also extremely happy, waving to the people, and even seeing their wives and children, they ran over with great excitement, hugging their wives and children, their faces full of happiness.

Looking at these people who admired and loved them, as well as the soldiers who reunited with their families, Li Le was a little shaken.

Fighting with Chu Jing to the end will inevitably kill more people, and Li Le wants to give up targeting Chu Jing to avoid bloodshed in the war.
