Chapter 212: Does the Son of the World Know About This?
"General Pei, you were released so soon!" She was a little surprised.
"Thanks to you," Pei Xingli sighed with a smile, "I didn't know you were so powerful that you could find that assassin." ”
"It's just a fluke." Xiling Yue looked around as she spoke, and said nervously, "Why did you come to me at night?" It's too daring, what if someone sees you? ”
Pei Xingli waved his hand: "Don't worry, I am the commander of the guards in this mansion, so I am naturally sure to break the patrol." He didn't say much detail, but said, "The prince came to pick me up from the dungeon at night, and I saw that his face was not very good, did you do the work?" ”
He was referring to Li Heng's idea when he saw the portrait, and this matter was exactly his idea, so that Xiling Yue would make a plan, so as to provoke Li Heng's dislike.
Xiling Yue looked a little uneasy: "Shizi is very angry, he should believe it, but I'm afraid that he will go to confront Ah Luo." ”
"The prince is proud and conceited, and with what I know about him, he will never go to confront a slave or maid." Pei Xingli said firmly, "And King Fu is a guest in the mansion, and tomorrow will be a hairpin banquet, so he doesn't have the heart to think about it." ”
"I hope so." Xilingyue put down her thoughts, and asked again, "By the way, General Pei, you and I meet in Pingshui, why do you want to help me?" ”
Pei Xingli's expression was stunned, and he didn't answer and asked, "What do you say?" ”
Xilingyue actually thought seriously for a while, and replied euphemistically: "I look at you and the prince...... The relationship is not very harmonious, are you ...... Do you hate him very much, so you don't want him to be happy? ”
Pei Xingli did not answer, noncommittal. Xiling Yue sighed: "I understand your situation, the prince of the world...... Too much suspicion. I only said that I would inquire about a person today, and he immediately asked if it was King Fu, and he suspected that I was interested in King Fu! ”
"You can't blame the world, all women will be interested in King Fu."
"I'm a little interested, but it's not what he thinks."
"How much do you know about King Fu?" Pei Xingli asked directly.
Xiling Yue was born in Sichuan Shu, the first time in her life to leave Xichuan, this time she came to Zhenhai to do her homework, so she has a general understanding of Zhenhai, Ziqing and even the trend of the world, but the royal family is not clear. She replied truthfully: "I only know that he is the younger brother of the Holy One, and his status is extraordinary. ”
Pei Xingli saw that she didn't know much, so he told him about the Fu King Li Chengxuan. Only then did Xilingyue know that although Li Chengxuan was weak and good-looking, he had no achievements in political affairs, let alone married a wife and had children, and he had always been criticized by the clan on the two major events of "starting a family and starting a business".
In the eyes of everyone, Li Chengxuan is a "mediocre person", eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is even more common to speak wildly. Not to mention Li Qi, the envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, who is an elder in the clan, he often speaks disrespectfully. The former emperor was accustomed to him when he was alive, and the queen mother and the present also favored him, which made him fearless.
And Li Chengxuan's purpose of coming to Zhenhai this time is also unexpected, he is not for military affairs at all, but because his mother, when the birthday of the empress dowager is imminent, Li Qi spent a lot of money to buy a batch of birthday compendiums, it is said that the antiques and curiosities are better than those in the palace. Li Chengxuan liked to play the most in his life, and after hearing about it, he had to have a sneak peek, so the saint gave him this errand and ordered him to escort Shengchengang all the way from Zhenhai to Chang'an......
According to this, Li Chengxuan is indeed a mediocre person, and he didn't deliberately target her, but he was used to it. But Xilingyue always felt that he was underestimated, and the cold arrows shot out of thin air in Jiang's mansion clearly had a hint of ambergris on them, how could it be so coincidental that Li Chengxuan came to Zhenhai a few days later?
If that arrow was really shot by him, then he was more than just a gentleman. and yesterday he refuted Li Qi's face in public, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an unintentional remark, but more like a meaning. Taking 10,000 steps back, Li Chengxuan has such a face and such a noble body, if he is just a mediocre gentleman, he really lives up to that good skin.
There must be something strange about this...... Xilingyue suddenly realized the potential danger, and felt that this was not a place to stay for a long time, so she was determined to leave.
Pei Xingli obviously thought the same way, and opened his mouth to persuade her: "Since the prince has spoken, you can be regarded as regaining your freedom, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible and don't delay any longer." ”
Xilingyue nodded: "I also plan to leave after participating in the hairpin banquet." ”
Pei Xingli immediately objected: "No! The hairpin banquet will be held for three days in a row, and it is too late. ”
"It's because of the three days in a row that I want to participate!"
Pei Xingli guessed her thoughts: "What do you want to do when you stay?" ”
Xilingyue bowed her head and didn't answer, and only after a while did she ask again: "Who is the person who stabbed Li Fu, have you found out?" ”
Pei Xingli hesitated for a moment: "This is not something you should ask." ”
"Why shouldn't I ask? They were pulled out by me! Xiling Yue Zhengse asked, "Are they all true that Li Fu shot reckless soldiers and killed innocents indiscriminately?" ”
Pei Xingli looked at her and remained silent.
Even if he didn't say it, Xilingyue could guess that if Li Qi's hands were clean, where did the Queen Mother's birthday come from? can let King Fu come to escort him personally, and it is conceivable that the value of those birth gangs is the people's fat and people's ointment in Jiangnan! She struggled in her heart for a while: "General Pei, can I trust you?" ”
Pei Xingli looked back at her watery eyes, his heart softened, and nodded: "Yes." ”
"Then tell me, did Li Fushu deliberately lure the assassin to King Fu after he found out that someone was going to assassinate him?" Xiling Yue did not beat around the bush.
Pei Xingli was surprised by her acuity: "How did you guess?" ”
"It's very simple, those assassins were obviously coming at him, but he deliberately pulled at King Fu, saying that he was blocking the sword for King Fu." Xiling Yue paused, "I once read the codex of Di Liang Gong when he was handling cases in Dali Temple, and I learned some old examples. Those who have failed to assassinate an official of the court and have grievances may be pardoned for capital crimes; But if you assassinate the royal family, there is only one way to die. Li Fu's bloodline is far away, and he cannot be counted as an orthodox royal family, but can only be counted as an official of the imperial court...... But King Fu is different, he is a fellow brother of the Holy One. ”
When Xi Lingyue said this, she took a deep breath, and her voice was already cold: "I guess, Li Fushu already knew who the assassin was, so he wanted to set a trap as King Fu and kill this group of people in the name of assassinating the clan, right?" Pei Xingli wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, he acquiesced.
"So, you were only in prison for a walk, and you were acting for King Fu?" Xilingyue asked again and again, each sentence was sharper than the other, and seeing that he didn't answer, he finally sneered, "Okay, General Pei, I still want to save you, but you are using me!" ”
Pei Xingli shook his head: "You are going to bump into it yourself, if it weren't for you, this case would have been solved within five days." I didn't know you would interfere, and I didn't expect you to find out on your own. ”
Xilingyue was almost crying stupidly: "Does the prince know about this?" ”
