He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Father-in-law Li...... His Highness suddenly asked me about the pigeon harrier brought to the blue sea...... "As he spoke, observing the other party's face, "He also said that he had to make up his mind for the Holy Lord, such as removing the traitorous ...... near the Holy Lord."

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu only guessed that there was a connection between the pigeon harrier and the prince's idea of wanting to kill, and he didn't know the details, but he guessed that Gonggong Li must know, so he connected the two things together, as if he knew it.

When Gonggong Li heard this, his face changed.

Traitor...... It turned out that he wanted to kill people while the saint had not returned!

Since Gonggong Li knew that Li Chongyan did not have the Li bloodline at all, the original feeling of maintenance had long been gone, even if Emperor Wen favored him, he could only be wary of this person who had nothing to do with him.

However, he was just wary of the prince, and the prince wanted to put himself to death...... Vertical son dare!

After all, he is an old and spicy person, and at this point, Gonggong Li can endure his anger and still remain calm. He felt a little unnatural about Ye Zhiqiu's words, and asked rhetorically: "Then Lord Ye is going to talk about it, Your Highness thinks that I am a traitor, where is the traitor?" ”

"That's ...... His Highness didn't elaborate, maybe His Highness just wanted us to do something, and didn't want us to know too much. ”

Ye Zhiqiu was hinting to Gonggong Li that the prince knew the secret of his life experience, but he didn't say it, so they just killed people for the prince and didn't know why.

The difference between high and low deception is that low-level deception only directly reverses black and white, while high-level deception hints at people's hearts and makes the other party misunderstand black and white.

Gonggong Li was already skeptical, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, because he didn't think that the prince would be so stupid.

The most important thing is that he noticed a strange thing, since Ye Zhiqiu kept saying that he was taking his life for the prince, since Cao Feihu was in front with so many people, since he was already a fish on the board and could be slaughtered at any time, but they didn't do it, so what were they waiting for?

They...... No, at least this Ye Zhiqiu must have other plans!

Gonggong Li decided to carry it to the end, he shook his head and said, "No matter what Lord Ye says, as long as there is no evidence, I will not admit this trumped-up charge." I have been loyal all my life for this Zhangren Palace, and I have no dissent, how can I be guilty of adultery? If Lord Ye wants to take my life today, there is nothing to do, but when the saint returns in the future, I am afraid that you will not end well! ”

Ye Zhiqiu frowned unconsciously, the two looked at each other for a while, and then didn't speak, but in private, they were secretly thinking about each other.

One thought: he really didn't admit it.

One thought: he really didn't dare.

Ye Zhiqiu dusted off his sleeves, looked out the door and said, "Since Gonggong Li must have a certificate, it is not difficult. Let's just wait for half an hour, and then we will tell Gonggong Li to take it by mouth. ”

As he spoke, he went out without looking back.

There is no evidence to hold this face out, Ye Zhiqiu has done his best, he secretly wonders what will happen in the future, it depends on whether the straw bait prince is willing to bite the bait.

The clever soldier sent to the palace should be able to explain the general situation clearly, and the prince will definitely not let go if he has the intention of killing.

What he hadn't told Cao Feihu before was that in addition to teaching the soldier what to say, he also quietly handed the soldier a list.

"Someone reported that Gonggong Li privately embezzled foreign tributes, and all the tributes were hidden in Haiding Village, and the details of the tributes and when and when the tributes were paid by what country are all on this list, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take a look!"

The things that are paid by the Gentiles are first made into the treasury of the Ministry of Rites through the Ministry of Rites, and then it is decided which ones to go into the treasury of the Great Inner Department according to the holy will. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu knew about the tribute hidden in the Great Inner without much effort.

Before he went out in the middle of the night yesterday, he deliberately screened some tributes that Emperor Wen had given to the crown prince in advance and recorded them into this list.

As long as the soldier gave the list to the prince, the prince would surely realize that today's play was a step he had built for him, and he only needed to choose a few items from the list and give them to the soldier to bring back, and it was done......

However, at the moment, it seems that these alone can only help Li Chongyan kill Li Gonggong justifiably, but he can't force out the secret, and it seems that he has to spend some more effort to hide it......

Ye Zhiqiu lowered his head and thought as he walked, and unconsciously walked to the outer courtyard, where Cao Feihu was standing.

When he saw Ye Zhiqiu coming out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How is it?" Is that old thing still obedient? ”

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head: "It is also expected that he will not admit his guilt, let's only act according to the previous plan and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's instructions." ”

Lao Cao scratched the back of his head and said, "It's really worthy of being an old man in the palace, and he doesn't leak." I sent my brothers to search the house, but I didn't find anything suspicious......"

"If he can let you find something, can it still be Gonggong Li in front of the emperor?" Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"But...... But I found something, and I don't know what it means, but it was hidden in such a secret way that if it weren't for the cleverness of my men, I would have almost not noticed it. ”

"What is so secret?"

"A portrait of the Holy One."

Ye Zhiqiu let out an "oh" and said, "What's so strange about this, since he serves the saint closely, he wants to put a portrait of the saint at home and bow in the morning and evening, and he must have obtained the royal permission." ”

Lao Cao thought for a while and said, "It's also ......" and wanted to put it aside.

Ye Zhiqiu suddenly had a change of heart and asked, "Where is the portrait, you might as well take it and let me see it." ”

Lao Cao waved his hand, and immediately a soldier came over with a scroll.

Ye Zhiqiu stood in the courtyard and ordered the soldier to slowly unfold the scroll.

The portrait is depicted exquisitely, and the face of the painting is also lifelike, and it is a famous handwriting at a glance.

Ye Zhiqiu is proficient in calligraphy, and naturally knows some danqing. He didn't look at this portrait anything special, but he always felt a little strange. It's just that the technique used in this method is not at all like the style of the painter in the Cangwu Palace, and the coloring and blending are a bit similar...... The brushstrokes of the blue sea country.

The picture scroll slowly unfolded, and finally appeared in front of Ye Zhiqiu and Lao Cao's eyes in its entirety. Ye Zhiqiu suddenly saw the words "Laiyi Imperial System" in the inscription, and his face suddenly changed.

Coming to the Imperial System?

Although he didn't think of the reason for a while, he knew that there must be an article, so he immediately stepped forward and rolled back half of the scroll, covered up all the money, and said casually: "Sure enough, it is a portrait of the saint." ”

He turned to Lao Cao and said, "Lord Cao, this and this...... I like calligraphy on weekdays, this portrait of the saint is indeed exquisite, such a masterpiece on weekdays I don't have much chance to take a closer look, anyway, His Royal Highness the Prince's side of the news will take some time, why don't I find a secluded corner to enjoy it, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Lao Cao thought to himself, you haven't seen enough of the real people in Hanyuan Hall every day, you haven't seen enough, and you still have to hold the portrait to see it? Isn't it just a portrait, if you're happy.

He replied immediately: "Lord Ye just take it and see it, I'll watch it here, Lord Ye can see it for as long as he wants, once there is an echo from His Highness's side, I will immediately send someone to report it." ”

Ye Zhiqiu picked up the scroll, nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Okay." ”

He immediately found a room where no one was there, and carefully closed the door, and then reopened the scroll.

The ink is clear, the paper is white, and it is clear that this painting is new, not old. Except for the four words of the imperial system, there are no other words.

Why is it something that comes to the Ritual Palace?

The more Ye Zhiqiu thought about it, the more strange it became, and he looked carefully at the person on the painting.

Strange, if this is a portrait of Emperor Wen, why is the golden crown he wears not the dragon crown of the four seas, but just an ordinary blue and gold crown?

Ye Zhiqiu is in the Ministry of Rites, and he treasures the ceremonial costumes in the courts of various countries.

The green gold crown is generally a crown used by nobles of the king rank of the blue sea, such as Lu Xingyuan, the prince of Peiguo, or Zhao Wuyun, the horse of the Qing Dynasty. How could Emperor Wen wear such a golden crown?

And the color of this costume is not right, although it is embroidered with a golden dragon, but it is a pattern of hiding claws and covering the tail in auspicious clouds, this is definitely not the emperor's royal robe...... It's a colt!

Speaking of colts...... Ye Zhiqiu suddenly had a thought in his mind, this person is not the Jinquan Horse of Bihai Country?!

This, how is this possible?

No, it's possible!

If everything was done by that Wen Lan......

It must be Wen Lan! Back then, Emperor Wen's twin brother Li Houcong was inexplicably lost and could not be found, and he was able to do this mysterious trick, which seemed to be enough for him.

How did he plan for a rainy day?

Ye Zhiqiu's forehead was dripping with sweat.

According to this, the crown princess turned out to be the queen of the Mu Yun clan?

This conspiracy...... In the past twenty years, it has grown from an inconspicuous vine to a dense jungle, and hidden secrets everywhere.

Since this portrait is in Gonggong Li's house, it means that Gonggong Li must know about it, and the prince wants to kill him and doesn't want people to know, which means that the prince also understands the implications.

If it's such a big secret, it's really worth such a heavy hand from the prince!

I see...... I see!

It's just that all this is still speculation, and I don't know whether it's true or not, so we have to be cautious and tentative!

In the quiet room, there was only the sound of Ye Zhiqiu gasping for breath, and at this moment, he was already in a thousand places, and his mind was in chaos.

Calm down, the man sent to see the prince is probably coming back, and he must think about how to use this matter before he returns......

Ye Zhiqiu paced around in the room, and his mood was difficult to calm down.

After a while, it dawned on him.

Yes, maybe by doing so, we will be able to catch all of these people......

He looked around and saw that the four treasures of the study room on the table were complete, and his heart was happy.

He spread out his pen and paper, pondered for a moment, and then wrote a book. When I put pen to paper, I changed my usual cautious appearance, which was quite frivolous.

After a while, he put down his pen and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Madam, thanks to the teaching, the effort spent has not been in vain, and it should be possible to deceive it by writing it like this.
