Early the next morning, Li Xiuwen officially set off and escorted the prisoners back to Beijing.

This time, the encirclement and suppression, only the White Lotus Sect members of Wang Qing's lineage were arrested, and Li Xiuwen specially instructed Xu Guiyun and Ge Tiancheng to restrain their subordinates, and not to rob the criminals, so that it would be difficult to clean up.

The escort of more than 1,000 people was drawn from Jinan Weili, which is equivalent to the strength of a guard. Ten soldiers guarding one prisoner should not be a problem.

Shandong is mountainous, and dry roads are not easy to walk. Li Xiuwen escorted more than 100 prisoners, and the journey was much slower, and he arrived in the capital on November 13.

Li Xiuwen first arranged for someone to escort Luo Yanran home, and then sent the prisoner to the prison of the Criminal Department, and without even going back to change his clothes, he entered the palace to see Zhu Youzhen in the dust.

In fact, officials who go out on business to return to Beijing to resume their lives are not immediately able to enter the palace to see the driver, unless they have the permission of the emperor.

Li Xiuwen didn't care so much, anyway, he had a palace card, and he could directly enter the palace to ask for a meeting. The reason why this is so is to deliberately show the image of being hardworking and doing errands, which is a face-saving project.

The previous rebellion has already made him lose his holy grace, and if he doesn't try his best to redeem some, it will be difficult to move an inch in the capital in the future. Of course, you also have to pay attention to your appearance when you see a driver, it's one thing to ask to see yourself, and it's up to Zhu Youzhen to decide whether you see or not.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen looked at him in civilian clothes and his face full of dust, but he had a good impression of him.

Originally, there was no evidence of rebellion, and it could not be shown that Li Xiuwen must have the intention of rebellion, it has been so long since the incident, and the anger should be dissipated.

Li Xiuwen only went to Jiangnan to see a doctor on this trip, but as soon as he encountered a cult, he immediately eliminated it for himself. Zhu Youzhen, as a monarch, although he would not admit his mistake, he was embarrassed to show him a face again.

After reporting the matter, Li Xiuwen was about to retire, but he heard Zhu Youzhen ask: "Li Aiqing is going to Jiangnan, has he found a good doctor and healed his body?" ”

Li Xiuwen replied respectfully: "The doctor said that he was cured, and the minister felt that he should be fine." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever complained about me in your heart about the previous incident?" ”

He didn't say what it was, but Li Xiuwen could understand it, and immediately raised his head and said calmly: "Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en!" ”

Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en!

Everybody can say that, but there's no credibility to it. From Li Xiuwen's expression, Zhu Youzhen couldn't see the slightest flattery and perfunctory, which couldn't help but make him wonder, this courtier really thought so?

Quietly staring at Li Xiuwen for a long time, Zhu You's prosecutor waved his hand and said, "I know, I will work hard in the future, let's go down." ”

Li Xiuwen walked out of the Qianqing Palace and was walking outside the palace, when he was about to go home, a sharp voice came from behind him: "Lord Li stays, Her Royal Highness the princess is invited!" ”

Her Royal Highness the Princess? What am I asking for?

Li Xiuwen was stunned, not knowing what this little princess was looking for. He had already heard something from Wang Chengen's mouth about the previous things, and knew that it was Princess Kunxing who begged for herself, not the prince.

The princess was in the palace, so he naturally didn't have a chance to thank him in person, so he just asked Wang Chengen to do it for him. Since the other party wants to see him now, he can also thank him again in person.

Zhu Yujiao is still young, and she lives in Kunning Palace with her biological mother, Queen Zhou.

Li Xiuwen was the first to come back to this harem, and it is said that he is a foreign minister, and it is not very in line with the rules to come to the harem. But this is a summons from the princess, so naturally she can't disobey her order.

The princess wanted to see herself, and Queen Zhou had no reason to come out to meet her, Li Xiuwen only saw Zhu Yujiao alone. Plus, of course, two little eunuchs.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Xiuwen saluted, and then said: "I was able to save my life by interceding with the princess before, and I always wanted to thank ...... person in person."

"Alright, alright, get up and speak. What's so thankful for a little thing? ”

Zhu Yujiao pursed her lips, interrupted his words of thanks, and then asked curiously: "I heard that you have made great contributions in Shandong this time?" ”

"It's just that I've arrested some cult members." Li Xiuwen said modestly.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't wait to urge: "Then tell me quickly, how did you catch them, I heard that you arrested more than a hundred people, and also captured their sect leader, hehe...... It's interesting to think about. ”

Li Xiuwen finally understood, dare to love this little princess who wants to hear the story?

"What are you doing? Let's talk about it! ”

"Uh-"

Li Xiuwen organized his language, cleared his throat, and said: "I came back from Jiangnan that day, and I was going to take a break from the south of the road, but I never thought that I would discover a shocking secret!" ”

Li Xiuwen deliberately whetted her appetite, and began to beautify and process her heroic deeds in Shandong in a way similar to storytelling.

Tale? As long as I want to speak, I can blow for three days and three nights!

Sure enough, Zhu Yujiao saw him stop and urged again: "Then what?" Found the White Lotus Sect's stronghold? ”

"Not really."

Li Xiuwen continued: "Just because I have learned some kung fu and my hearing is different from ordinary people, I actually met two disciples of the White Lotus Sect on the street, and I happened to hear their whispered conversation, and heard the words of the young master from their mouths. ”

Seeing him stop again, Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but roll her eyes and complained: "You hurry up, why did you stop just saying two sentences?" ”

Li Xiuwen smiled, but he didn't continue to hang her appetite, and then described it vividly.

At first, he still stood up and spoke in a regular manner, but later he added various gestures, and the expression on his face changed with the ups and downs of the story, which was very like a storyteller.

It took more than an hour to talk about how he anticipated the enemy and captured the two assassins, which was the result of his best efforts to condense it, which shows that his nonsense skills are extraordinary.

Of course, in the part where the assassin was released, he simply changed it to himself leading people to encircle and suppress Wang Qing, so that the assassin escaped. Anyway, it's a story, just make it up, as long as it's exciting.

As for the details, it's not a question anyway, who cares about this?

Seeing that it was not early, Li Xiuwen had to shorten the content as much as possible, and it took more than two hours to finish the story.

Zhu Yujiao was excited when she heard it, as if she was there.

After listening to the story, she smiled and said: "A few days ago, Wang Chengen praised you for your clever tongue, but I still don't believe it." Now, I've really seen it, giggle......"

Is this called insight? Give me a bottle of two pot heads, and I can blow it!

Li Xiuwen smiled and said goodbye: "Your Royal Highness Princess, if there is nothing to do, minister."
