Chapter Seventy-Four

Zheng Tongju couldn't help frowning when he heard Mrs. Li's words, he knew that Mrs. Li's background, famous family, and the support of the noble concubine in the palace, but no matter how hard the backer was, how could he actually confront the king in person, that is, the royal concubine, and speak in person, I am afraid that he would be polite, and he would never be as arrogant and domineering as Mrs. Li.

However, Zheng Tongju only muttered a few words in his heart, and the king did not have his own share in this hall.

"Then Madame means that the king wants the king to call the princess to confront Madame?" Wu Zhi looked at Mrs. Li with a smile.

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "It's not that the concubine wants the prince to be, but according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, Chitose should judge the case like this." ”

Wu Zhi nodded slightly: "What Madam said is that this king should indeed call the princess to come." ”

Mrs. Li was overjoyed when she heard it, why didn't your king be overwhelmed by his own words in three or two sentences? Hmph, today I summoned the princess to humiliate her, how could a princess beat someone on the street? Isn't it disgraceful to the royal family that the person who beats is still an official of the imperial court?

"But today, the princess was seriously injured on the street, and she is still bedridden, if the lady wants to see the princess, she can follow the king into the palace! But before I see the princess, I want to ask Madame, what is the appearance of the husband? Wu Zhi's tone was stern every time he said a word, and by the end he was already full of expression.

Mrs. Li listened to Wu Zhi's words and was stunned for a moment, and the princess was injured? Didn't you meet a murderer on the road after beating my father-in-law, so it's good to be injured! Just as he was gloating, he suddenly heard Wu Zhi ask him about his father-in-law's appearance, and said casually: "My father-in-law's face is white, and there is a black mole on the left side of his face, ......" As soon as she said this, Mrs. Li suddenly woke up, her eyes looked at Wu Zhi, but she saw Wu Zhi's expression grim and said coldly: "Go on." Have a mole on the left side of your face? You can't go wrong! ”

"Your king, Chitose, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you are saying that my husband hurt the princess? "How could Mrs. Li, who is such a prince and so open-mouthed, was simply confused by Wu Zhi and shouted loudly.

Wu Zhi snorted: "Is it the injury caused by the honorable husband, and when I saw the princess, I knew that I went with me to get Li Zhizhou!" ”

The official shouted. And the messenger was ordered to go out.

"You...... You don't have to turn black and white upside down,......" Mrs. Li pointed at Wu Zhi so angry that she couldn't say anything.

"Bold!" Wu Zhi slapped the startled wood and scared Mrs. Li into trembling, but Mrs. Li was loved by Wang Guifei. The Li family made her three points and always used to being domineering, although she often heard the name of your king, but she was confident that she had the support of Wang Guifei, and she was not very afraid of Wu Zhi, she retracted her hand stupidly, and still said loudly in her mouth: "Your king Mo blood spews people, making the world laugh." ”

Wu Zhi listened to her unrelentingly, and his anger gradually rose. I wanted to scare her, if she was a little interested, she would withdraw the situation, even if she wanted to be angry, she would ask the Li family or Wang Guifei to come forward, and then she would find a way to say that she didn't want to, Mrs. Li didn't know what to do, and even reprimanded herself three times and twice, Wu Zhi sneered in his heart, and his eyes slowly turned cold.

"You...... You...... Also, you go to Guangcheng Street to look for human evidence, as for the physical evidence, it is in the palace. Lord Zheng bothered you to go to the back hall to inform Shi Xiu. Ordered him to go back to his house and get physical evidence! "Wu Zhi doesn't know those officials. casually pointed out a few people and ordered them to go down, and the assigned officials rushed to lead the order. Go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, and you have to do a good job of the things that the prince has explained, what is the human certificate? Today's Beiping Mansion ground speaking of the king to be a witness, those businessmen and the people are not breaking their heads, rushing to come, to be able to compete for this person's certificate, the land is the blessing of the ancestors to protect the green smoke on the ancestral tomb.

Mrs. Li listened to Wu Zhi's series of commands, her face turned pale, although she was arrogant, she was not an idiot, she knew that the so-called human and material evidence was effortless for your king, as for the injury of your princess, not to mention pretending to be casual and then the doctor diagnosed any serious injuries to internal organs.

Mrs. Li couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to kill the majesty of your king, let the king know that she knew that she was in love with the most favored concubine in the saint, if the sisters were not the characters that the king could pinch casually, she didn't expect Wu Zhi to be a scoundrel, and she wanted to make this a shocking case.

Mrs. Li panicked, although she said that this matter was in the king, but she made her own initiative and came to the Beiping Mansion to make trouble, if she really made a fuss about the matter, Li's father, Wang Guifei, and she couldn't explain it.

"That's it, I won't sue this case!" Mrs. Li retreated, and said that she would repair the book and go to the capital to do some more considerations.

"Nonsense! How can it be child's play in the court? Wu Zhi snapped and stopped Mrs. Li.

Seeing that the official Lian Zhu was ordered to go, Mrs. Li was completely panicked, if it was really as Wu Zhi said, the matter would inevitably come to the front of the saint, no matter how it ended in the end, Wang Guifei and the Li family would not spare themselves.

"Your ...... Chitose ...... Concubinage...... The concubine ...... "Mrs. Li pondered the words, not knowing how to bring the words back.

Wu Zhi sat in the lobby expressionlessly, as if he would not stop until he broke the matter.

"Chitose, please cure the ......concubine for the crime of slandering the princess in vain," Mrs. Li lowered her head and said this, her face was hot, and her heart was indescribably annoyed, she had not spoken soft words to anyone since she entered the Li family.

"Huh? Madame can't talk nonsense, Madame is an example for a hundred women, how can she do wanton nonsense in court? This king will definitely investigate this matter, please understand! Wu Zhi looked serious.

"The concubine did recognize the wrong person, the prince...... The prince forgives ...... sin," Mrs. Li said dejectedly.

"Oh? Madame is it serious? Wu Zhi was surprised.

Mrs. Li nodded: "It's really ......"

Wu Zhi sighed, "This ...... What shall I tell the king to say? After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said: "Alas, Madame wants to come, I am worried about my husband's thoughts, and I don't make a mistake in my busy life, and this king will not blame you, but you falsely accuse the princess, although it is said that the complaint is an insider, and the king can not pursue it, but if it is so hasty, it will hinder justice, and this king will repair the book and respect the husband, and order him to discipline him strictly, and Mrs. Wangwang will take this as a warning, you must know that the edict is heavenly, and Madame will not disgrace the Son ......of Heaven."

Wu Zhi's words were serious, and he hated iron but not steel, and Mrs. Li responded. I was angry and ashamed in my heart, and now the matter is actually messing around, and the princess who is beating people has nothing to do, but she "disgraces the Son of Heaven", and even more listens to Wu Zhi's words, which seems to be quite magnanimous, forgiving herself, the general king, him...... It's clearly a scoundrel!

Wu Zhi continued: "Think about it, Li Zhizhou, as an official of the imperial court, will not commit murder and hurt people, but in order to avoid suspicion, after the lady returns home, he will draw a picture of the respected husband and send it to the insiders for identification." ”

Mrs. Li was already a little numb. I only knew that I nodded again and again, and Wu Zhi smiled and said: "That's very good, then Madame, please go back to the house, so that the king can accept it, and always be vigilant to supervise the family of this king, so as not to really make trouble about the kind of thing that Madame said." ”

Mrs. Li nodded silently, turned around and walked out, and when she walked to the front steps of the hall, she stepped on the air carelessly, and fell into the mud with an "oops". The officials in the hall have never seen such an embarrassing scene of a noble lady, although the noble king sat in the hall and did not dare to laugh out loud, but the low laughter still reached the ears of Mrs. Li, who blushed and ran away with the support of the maid.

Wu Zhi looked at her back and smiled, put away the shape in his hand, got up, and walked to the back hall.

Wu Zhi, who had changed into civilian clothes, had just walked into the backyard of the palace, and a yellow shadow came from behind the rockery, and Wu Zhi subconsciously caught the fragrance and was soft. It was Qiqiao's delicate body that Qiqiao grinned in Wu Zhi's arms and said, "Xianggong has finished rectifying the shrews of the Li family?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "No matter how much you splash, it's not as spicy as you." ”

Tangram smiled silently. Buried his head in Take-sik's chest.

Wu Zhi walked towards Cuiyun Pavilion with Qiqiao in his arms. "Do you know that the Li family is suing?"

Qiqiao nodded slightly: "Listen to what Shi Xiu said...... "In Wu Zhi's arms, Qiqiao will become extremely well-behaved." It's not like to talk much, I just like to curl up on Wu Zhi's chest like a kitten and enjoy the warmth of Wu Zhi's arms.

Wu Zhi smiled and strode into Cuiyun Pavilion, and Chiba was the first to run over and pull Qiqiao's hand, but Qiqiao had no intention of teasing her at this time, and shook Chiba's hand away, and shrunk into Wu Zhi's arms comfortably, Chiyozi looked at Qiqiao with wide eyes and some grievances, not knowing why Sister Qiqiao was not interested in herself.

Jin Lian shook her head with a smile and said, "Xianggong is about to spoil Qiqiao to lawlessness, is Mrs. Li okay?" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "What can it be?" The words put Qiqiao into Jin Lian's arms, Jin Lian exclaimed, pushed Qiqiao away, and Qiqiao almost fell to the ground, glanced at the two of them dissatisfied, and turned to tease the sullen Chibazi.

"Who are the new palace ladies in the Golden Lotus Mansion?" Gong E's matter was handled by the princess, and Wu Zhi didn't ask about it, but thinking of Xiao Yudi's matter, Wu Zhi couldn't help but be alert, and it was not good for Xiao Wall to cause trouble.

"What's wrong everywhere?" Jin Lian asked strangely.

Wu Zhi asked again: "Can you check your hometown, please understand?" ”

Jin Lian said: "Well, these are the envoys of Yishan in the house, there should be no problem." ”

Wu Zhi nodded, turned his head, and saw Qiqiao pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation between himself and Jin Lian, and said with a smile: "You don't make nonsense and scare the palace maids in the mansion." If you don't tell me, I'm really afraid that Qiqiao will make a big fanfare to find out what to do, Qiqiao smiled and nodded.

A few days later, Wu Zhi looked at the note in his hand, his brows furrowed, Shi Xiu looked at Wu Zhi with admiration on his face, he couldn't help but admire the noble king, who originally sent him to make people keep an eye on Xiao Yu, although Shi Xiu was meticulous, but he muttered a little in his heart, he really couldn't see anything unusual about Xiao Yu, who knew that this morning, after Xiao Yu walked around the south city, he followed a guard with a guard who was watching him out of the city, and when he saw him sneaky, he immediately took it down and searched for this note, although the note only wrote "Something is urgent" Four words, but Shi Xiu knew that Xiaoyu must have something strange.

"What do you say, man?" Wu Zhi put down the note and asked.

He ...... He killed himself......" Shi Xiu sighed.

"Well, it looks like it's time for us to visit Miss Xiaoyu!" Wu Zhi smiled.

Wu Zhi greeted the girls, changed their clothes, took Shi Xiu and Mu Hong and went straight to the Immortal Residence, the afternoon sun was warm, the people were drowsy, Wu Zhi also entered the Immortal Residence with a lazy expression, and the guy obviously remembered this distinguished guest and came over to greet him with a smile: "The official is so early!" ”

Wu Zhi smiled: "The old place will call Xiaoyu again." ”

The guy had a sad look on his face and said with a smile: "The official still calls other girls today, Miss Yu has a distinguished guest." ”

Wu Zhi frowned slightly, "Which pavilion is she in?" The guy pointed to the third floor. Wu Zhi pedaled upstairs, and the guy trotted behind and said with a smile: "Xiaodi will introduce you to a few handsome girls to ensure that the officials are satisfied." ”

Wu Zhi waved his hand, Shi Xiu pulled the guy over, and with great strength, he almost pulled the guy into a somersault, and the guy was full of anger, and he just had a consistent hand in front of him. The anger suddenly came to naught, and when he heard Shi Xiu's order, "Go down", he immediately smiled and retreated.

Go up to the third floor. There is no need to deliberately look for a pavilion, the cold sound of the piano has already told Wu Zhi where the small jade land is, Wu Zhi listened to the cold piano sound, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, this feeling he hadn't had for a long time, it was a wonderful feeling, like the intuition of a beast, which can only be faintly felt when it is really threatened.

Wu Zhi walked over and opened the curtain with a snort. There were more than a dozen people sitting on the big table in the pavilion, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and drinking hotly, Xiaoyu sat behind the small table by the window and stroked the piano to help the fun.

"Xiaoyu, come here." Wu Zhi smiled and beckoned to Xiaoyu.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and when Xiaoyu saw Wu Zhi coming to find her, she happily ran to Wu Zhi and smiled affectionately: "Big brother." You've finally come to see Xiaoyu. ”

Everyone in the cabinet was stunned, and a rough voice shouted: "Hasn't my brother returned to Yunzhou yet?" ”

Wu Zhi looked up. It was Wang Qing's subordinate Yuan Lang who spoke. smiled and said: "Brother Yuan is also here, little brother borrowed the little jade girl." ”

"Who are you?" A man in a brocade robe at the table was obviously drunk. Dangyo stood up. The rest of the crowd was also clamoring.

Yuan Lang smiled and comforted everyone: "Master Cheng, don't be impatient, don't be ......impatient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient," and turned his head to Wu Zhi and smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't be embarrassed, brother, all of you here today are the brothers of Beiping Mansion, let's come to find the jade girl another day." ”

Wu Zhi was slightly surprised when he heard Yuan Lang's words, and the adults of Beiping Mansion? Looking up, he didn't recognize Xiaoyu's hand: "Let's go!" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded sweetly.

Wu Zhi pulled Xiaoyu and went straight to the pavilion last time, and he heard a commotion behind him, and then someone screamed, obviously Mu Hong made a move, and then there was Yuan Lang's persuasion, after all, no matter whether it was the official of Beiping Mansion or Li Zhizhou's housekeeper, he couldn't be offended, and he couldn't be offended.

After entering the pavilion, Wu Zhi let go of Xiaoyu's hand and smiled: "Sit down!" The pavilion is not big, the four corners are placed with flowers and trees, there is a beautiful screen by the window, and the picture of the yellow oriole spring cry on the screen is painted vividly.

Wu Zhi sat down on the soft couch under the screen, and Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Doesn't the eldest brother listen to the piano today?" ”

Wu Zhi shook his head and smiled, "I want to ask you a few words today." ”

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "If the eldest brother has something to say, even if you ask the younger sister, you will know everything, and you will not be able to say anything." ”

Shi Xiu hurriedly walked in and bowed slightly: "Master, the names and surnames of the officials of the Beiping Mansion outside the villain have already remembered that there are a total of three officials below the middle level and seven officials......

Wu Zhi nodded: "Tell Mu Hong to go and tell Yuan Lang that I will not accompany him if I have important matters with Miss Yu today." ”

"What's the matter with my eldest brother?" Xiao Yu saw Wu Zhi looking up and down, and his heart was rough and uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have poison in your mouth, do you? Or to put it this way, do you have the courage to kill yourself? Wu Zhi smiled.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and forced a smile: "What do you mean by this, big brother?" ”

Wu Zhi waited for another matter, Shi Xiu had already turned around, and the door of the pavilion was slammed shut, and no sound outside could be heard.

Wu Zhi smiled: "The pavilion is also strict, I want to come here, what are you doing inside, and I can't hear it outside, right?" ”

Xiao Yu moved her body uneasily, her face a little ugly.

"I don't like to talk nonsense, who are you, who sent you to approach me for? What did your careless boss tell you to do? Wu Zhi said with a smile.

Wu Zhi's few questions were like a few muffled thunders, which shook Xiao Yu into dizziness, and her face changed dramatically, and she said, "I...... I'm Xiaoyu, big brother, I don't know what you're talking about? ”

"I repeat, I don't like to talk nonsense." Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Ask you again, who sent you?" ”

"Big brother, I really don't know what you're talking about?" Xiaoyu's face gradually returned to normal, and she smiled and recalled.

"Shi Xiu!" Wu Zhi threw a dagger to Shi Xiu and said lightly: "One finger." ”

Shi Xiu: "Huh? "Yes. Holding the dagger for a while, Xiao Yu smiled and stammered, "Big ...... Eldest brother...... You ......"

Wu Zhi stood up, took the dagger from Shi Xiu's arms, and slowly paced in front of Xiao Yu, and said slowly: "Say it......"

"Big brother...... What do you want Xiaoyu to say? Xiaoyu knelt in front of Wu Zhi with a sad face, "Ah! The woman's screams were so piercing. The screams stopped abruptly, Xiao Yu covered her severed finger and fainted in pain, Wu Zhi sighed. took out a roll of white silk from her arms and threw it to Shi Xiu: "Help her wrap it!" ”

Shi Xiu was stunned, the prince was ready for everything? Walked over to help Xiao Yu firmly wrap the broken little finger of his left hand, and when he got up, he saw Wu Zhi looking up and down, and he lowered his head in a panic.

"Saburo's center of the earth is getting softer and softer......" Wu Zhi sighed.

Shi Xiu said in a low voice: "Subordinates can kill women and torture women, but they can't do it......"

"Woman?" Wu Zhi smiled and shook his head: "Is there a difference between men and women in San Lang's opponents?" ”

Shi Xiu hung his head and was silent, Wu Zhi stood up and looked out the window at the white clouds. I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Huh" Xiao Yu slowly woke up, and the sharp pain at the broken finger made her moan again, Wu Zhi turned around and looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Say it......"

Xiao Yu shuddered, and shrank back, her face full of fear.

"You've got nine fingers left." Wu Zhi slowly walked up a few steps.

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life......" Xiaoyu kowtowed again and again.

"Don't say it yet?" Wu Zhi said indifferently.

"Yes...... Be...... Folk Girl. The Minnu is the King of Wei...... The righteous daughter of the king of Wei ......"

"King Wei? Jeluchun? En continued. Wu Zhi sat back on the soft couch. Smiled and picked up the tea.

Xiaoyu is telling in fits and starts. She was originally from Zhuozhou, and later was killed by the Khitan nobles. These are similar to Shi Xiu's investigation, what Shi Xiu can't find is that Xiaoyu was sold into the Qinglou, and soon met Yelu Chun, Ye Lu Chun saw that she was smart and clever, and immediately cultivated and invited a famous teacher to pass on her piano skills, so that a few years later, she entered the immortal residence and immediately became the Oiran of Youzhou.

It's just that no one knows that Xiaoyu at this time has worshiped Yeluchun as his father-in-law, and the Khitan family was also removed by Yeluchun in the first year, Xiaoyu was grateful and began to help Yeluchun do things, she was in the immortal residence to help Yeluchun spy on the secrets of some officials, originally Yeluchun also used her ** The idea of winning over some important Khitan officials did not want to be carried out before the change of ownership of Youzhou, Yeluchun retreated to Xijing, and when he left, Yeluchun left a large number of fine oaks in the city, including Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu's priority was to win over the officials of the Song Dynasty, and it would be great if he could have a relationship with the king.

"What does it mean to be in a hurry?" Wu Zhi asked suddenly.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and bowed his head and said, "I mean that the matter of getting acquainted with the prince is urgent......

Wu Zhi nodded slightly, it sounded like there was nothing threatening to him, but Yeluchun sent some fine works in Beiping, and these don't need to think about it, if the Khitans don't leave fine works in Youyun, it will not be normal, this book is reprinted, but why do you still feel faintly uneasy?

"Didn't you hide anything about me anymore?" Wu Zhi looked at Xiaoyu and asked.

Xiaoyu shook her head again and again, "No...... The folk girl no longer dared to deceive the prince's ......"

Seeing that her panicked appearance didn't look like a fake, Wu Zhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Since retreating, Xijing Yelu Chun has ever had a letter with you?" ”

"The king of Wei wrote two letters to the people's daughters...... But...... But the folk girl has already destroyed it for the sake ......of secrecy," Xiaoyu's face turned pale, and she was afraid that Wu Zhi would blame her.

Wu Zhi nodded, this is also a human feeling, he naturally will not be angry, "Then do you remember the content of the letter?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Remember...... It is to ask the people to step up their efforts to explore the temperament of the prince, and the people have said to the prince......"

"Inquire about my temperament?" Wu Zhi smiled: "Doesn't he know my temperament?" ”

Xiaoyu lowered her head and didn't dare to estimate.

Wu Zhi looked at Xiao Yu and said, "You tell me the details of the letter!" ”
