Chapter 15: The Royal

Li He almost knelt down: "Prime Minister, you can't do this, you called me... ”

Li Cai interrupted Li He's words and said to himself: "Zheng Shaoji is the number one demon woman in the world, the so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, Li Gongzi can't hold it, it's also human nature." ”

Li He saw that Li Fu reversed black and white, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, and knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he had to say helplessly: "You have to be driven by the prime minister, and the villain has the responsibility to do it." When it comes to solving the case, the villain will definitely complete the task successfully. ”

Li Fu stroked his beard: "Li Gongzi deserves to be my right-hand man, and the old man is very pleased... Your stomach doesn't hurt anymore? ”

Li Heqiang smiled: "It doesn't hurt, I don't know what's going on, listen to the prime minister's words, the villain's illness is all cured." ”

Everyone laughed next to them and almost turned their backs.

Li He said to Li Cai: "Prime Minister Qiyu, the villain is not very good at investigating cases, please be sure to appoint another master of case solving to help me." ”

Li Feed: "In this investigation, Song Hui, who is engaged in the Tingwei Mansion, will assist you." Song Hui has solved countless cases, and you can ask him for advice at any time. He has already inspected the scene of the royal palace, you go. Li He took the order and left.

Li He came to the palace and followed the eunuch to the scene of the fire. But seeing the ruins of the wall and a piece of scorched earth, Song Hui was investigating the scene. Li He stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Song, below is Li He, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Prime Minister specially ordered me to come here to assist you in thoroughly investigating the case of the palace fire." ”

Song Hui returned the salute: "Xia Guan has seen Master Li. This is the first scene of the fire that day, and it is also the concubine's bedroom. As you can see, the place has been burned to the ground, and the concubines, eunuchs, and palace maids have also been burned to death. I have ordered the bodies of the deceased to be transported back to the Imperial Palace, where an autopsy will be conducted later, and if any findings are found, they will be reported to you. ”

Li He: "Lord Song doesn't need to be polite, you are a master of case investigation, I am a layman, and I have to ask you for more advice." ”

Li He wandered around the scene, but saw that it was full of devastation. Inadvertently, Li He saw a ribbon on the ground that looked like burnt, so he picked it up and looked at it, and asked Song Hui: "Lord Song, what is this?" ”

Song Hui: "Lord Hui, this is the charred intestine of the deceased. ”

Li He grabbed the root of the wall and vomited several times. Song Hui stood aside quietly: "Master Li, are you okay?" ”

After a while, Li He finally vomited it clean: "It's okay." It's okay, Lord Song, to make you smile. ”

During the conversation, I overheard a voice from the eunuch: "His Royal Highness the prince has arrived." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a prince walking slowly in fluttering clothes, surrounded by everyone.

Li He and Song Hui hurriedly saluted. The prince said, "You don't have to be polite. I also happened to pass by here, I don't know what the two of you found? ”

Song Hui: "Your Highness, the fire has burned the scene completely, and nothing has been found yet, and it will take some time to investigate in detail." ”

Prince: "You two, then I won't bother the two adults to investigate the case." After speaking, surrounded by everyone, his clothes fluttered away.

Li He asked, "Who is this?" ”

Song Hui: "This is the eldest prince Ji Ying." His Royal Highness King Yu has two princes, and there is a second prince named Ji Huan. ”

So, Song Hui first went back to the Tingwei Mansion for an autopsy. Li He also returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and reported the situation to Li Feed.

On the second day, Li He came to Ji Shangfu early in the morning. Ji Shang has already gone to the lecture hall, and Ji Yue is in the house. Li He followed the attendant into the backyard and saw Ji Yue playing the piano. Li He listened silently on the side, but felt that the artistic conception was far-reaching. After a while, Ji Yue finished playing the song, and Li He praised: "Miss Ji Yue, you play so well, it's really around the beam for three days." ”

Ji Yue: "Li Gongzi is also proficient in music? ”

Li He: "I just know a thing or two. ”

Ji Yue asked, "Can Li Gongzi play the piano?" ”

Li He: "I won't, I still hope that Miss Ji Yue will teach me." ”

Ji Yue readily agreed. In the quiet courtyard, one teaches the piano and the other learns the piano, which is so comfortable.

Before I knew it, it was dusk, and Li He and Ji Yue said goodbye. As soon as Li He left Ji Shang's Mansion, he saw a carriage parked at the door, and a slave stepped forward to salute Li He: "Master Li, my Lord Mi Wu invites you to come over the mansion." ”

Li He was surprised, but he felt that Mi Wu was a celebrity in the world, and he would be an official in the same dynasty in the future, so it was difficult to refuse, so he had to get into the carriage and go to Mifu.

Li He followed the servant into the side hall of Mifu, only to see that the wine and food were ready, but there was no one. The slave retired, leaving Li He to wait alone. After waiting for a while, Li Hezheng was impatient and saw Zheng Shaoji walking out of the back room.

Li He was even more surprised: "Master Mi invited me to come, dare to ask Madame, where is Lord Mi?" ”

Zheng Shaoji smiled charmingly: "Don't worry, son, sit down for a while, my lord was summoned by His Royal Highness King Yu to discuss matters." ”

Li He had no choice but to sit down. The two sat opposite each other, Zheng Shaoji persuaded him to drink, and at the same time secretly sent Qiu Bo to Li He, and also teased him with words from time to time. Li He had to pretend to be stupid and bury his head in eating and drinking.

Seeing that Li He was indifferent, Zheng Shaoji couldn't help but feel disappointed, and asked, "Does Li Gongzi like to listen to the piano?" ”

Li He: "Could it be that Mrs. Fei can play the piano?" ”

Zheng Shaoji: "I know a little bit about it, please listen to it, don't laugh." So, Zheng Shaoji called the servants and put the piano on the table. I saw her plucking her slender jade hand and playing. Li He listened carefully, and only felt that there was a lingering affection in the sound of the piano, charming and not gaudy.

Li He was secretly surprised, looked up at Zheng Shaoji, and saw that Zheng Shaoji was also looking at him with coquettish eyes, and Li He didn't feel that his heart was rippling.

At the end of the song, Zheng Shaoji came to Li He's side and was about to lean into his arms. Li He hurriedly got up to avoid it and bowed: "Madam, it's getting late, and it's inconvenient for Xiaosheng to stay for a long time." Today, I missed the invitation of Master Mi, which is a rude faux pas. If he meets in the court one day, Xiaosheng will make amends to Lord Mi. Xiaosheng said goodbye, and Mrs. Don't send it. After speaking, Li He fled and left Mifu.

Li He got into the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I already have a place in my heart, otherwise I would really want the peony flower to die today." ”

In the Mi Mansion, Zheng Shaoji stood alone in the hall, looking at the direction where Li He was going, and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, a voice came from the back room: "Madame, how can you let him go?" ”

Zheng Shaoji looked back and saw that it was Tian Cuo. Zheng Shaoji hurriedly saluted and apologized: "Blame me for not doing well, let Li He run away." ”

Tian Cuo made a straight face: "Madam, you have to work harder, but don't forget the agreement between us." Zheng Shaoji bowed her head and was silent.

Li He returned to the mansion and lay on the bed, recalling the brilliance in Ji Yue's eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

On the second day, Li He came to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Li Fu urged again and again: "You go to the Tingwei Mansion to find Song Hui, he has made a major discovery." ”

Li He hurried to the Tingwei Mansion and found Song Hui. Song Hui led Li He into the mortuary room, only to see dozens of corpses placed in the room. Song Huiyu reported: "All the bodies are charred and extremely difficult to identify. Fortunately, I found the eunuchs and palace maids in charge of the palace, and finally recognized it. Master Lee, follow me. You see, according to identification, this corpse wearing earrings is the concubine Niangniang. ”

Li He asked: "During the autopsy, what was found on the body of the concubine?" ”

Song Hui: "Concubine Niangniang was murdered. ”
