As soon as Li Jingzhong returned to the mansion, several guards rushed up, pushed him to the ground, tied him up with his hands and feet, gagged him, and carried him into Li Heng's room.

"Lord Wang, he has this." A guard searched Li Jingzhong's whole body and found the secret decree on his body.

Li Heng took it and opened it to take a look, the content inside had changed, and the handwriting was even more different, and it no longer made any sense, "Where did you get my things?" Say! ”

Li Heng's face was unusually pale, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, Li Jingzhong woke up not long after he left, but found that the things had been lost, and in a shock, he immediately guessed that it was taken by Li Jingzhong.

"I always suspected that you were the one who told the secret back then, but now it seems that it was really you!" Li Heng's anger was gone, and his gaze was terrifyingly cold.

A guard stepped forward and took off the rags from Li Jingzhong's mouth, Li Jingzhong's face was pale, like a ball of meat and mud lying on the ground, trembling all over, so frightened that he couldn't say a word, he knew very well in his heart that his life would not be guaranteed.

"If you don't say it, I also know, you went to the house next to you, and when you saw that I was falling, you voted for the new master, what will he reward you for this time, is it the future inner chamberlain or the chief of the inner house?" Li Heng sneered for a while, then ignored him, and walked into the inner room quickly, there were several big men standing by the door of the inner room, and there was a person sitting in the room, drinking tea leisurely, but it was Li Qing. It turned out that Li Heng found out about the incident and immediately sent someone to the Si Ning Palace, Li Qing persuaded him not to worry, although the secret decree was lost, but the matter did not change, besides, in this way, it would force King Qing to a dead end, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

Seeing Li Heng coming in, Li Qing smiled slightly and asked, "Did he take it?" ”

"Look at this!" Li Heng handed the secret decree to Li Qing.

"It seems that this is the true will of the emperor. The little prince was named the king of Chu and ordered to enter Beijing immediately. Li Qing stood up happily. He bowed deeply to Li Heng and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness." The little prince is already ten years old. ”

Listening to Li Qing's words, Li Heng's heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, there were both sweet and sour, and he was abolished from being a concubine. When his life was at the bottom point, fate seemed to play a bitter joke on him, and his son was about to be established.

He waved his hand hurriedly and said gratefully: "In the future, Yu'er will have to rely on the support of the general, and this king is here, please!" After speaking, he was about to kneel down, but Li Qing hurriedly supported him. The prince doesn't have to be like this. Kill Li Qing. ”

Li Heng gradually calmed down. He looked at the secret decree on the table, and his heart was in turmoil again. "General, what should we do now?"

He was most worried that the evidence would be gone, and Li Cong would deny it.

Li Qing paced slowly in the room with his hands behind his back, as if talking to himself, and as if he was telling Li Heng to know, "Although the false transmission of the holy decree is a big deal, there will always be a day when it will be exposed, how can they not do it, I doubt it.

Li Qing suddenly turned his head and stared at Li Heng with blazing eyes, "I have always suspected that their subordinates are attacking the emperor!" ”

Li Heng was taken aback, "Is the general saying that they are going to force the palace?" ”

"It is possible to force the palace, and it is also possible to assassinate, if not, how can they seize the throne?" Li Qing walked to the door, glanced at Li Jingzhong, who was lying on the ground outside through the cracks in the curtain, turned around and said with a smile: "This person is kept, I am worried that this secret decree cannot be proved to be committed by Li Cong, and now it is not bad to have multiple witnesses." ”

At this time, a family member came running from outside and whispered to Li Heng: "Lord Wang, there is a person outside the gate, saying that he is looking for Li Jingzhong." ”

Li Heng was stunned, and hurriedly turned around and asked Li Qingdao: "General, what's going on?" ”

Li Qing suddenly thought of something, his face changed abruptly, he tilted his head and was silent for a long time, and finally he slowly turned around, glanced at Li Heng deeply, and said with a faint smile: "The most urgent thing for them now is naturally to prevent His Highness from going to Huaqing Palace tomorrow." ”

"Is Li Cong going to kill me?" Li Heng's eyes narrowed into a slit, "Then I'll go to Huaqing Palace now." ”

As soon as he turned around, he saw Li Qingzheng looking at him quietly, with a trace of pity in his eyes, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "What?" Do you think it's inappropriate? ”

"Your Royal Highness, the overall situation of the little prince has been decided, what kind of climate can Li Cong's few clowns who jump off the beam become? Now that the matter is revealed, they will inevitably be in internal chaos, and you can leave them alone, but you.

Speaking of this, Li Qing shook his head lightly, sighed and said, "I also just thought of it, I advise Your Highness to take the opportunity to die once!" Otherwise, Li Yu will be the prince, and the emperor will also give you death. ”

.

The people outside the gate waited for a while, Li Jingzhong walked out of the door, his face was calm, as if nothing had happened, he looked at it from a distance for a long time, and asked, "Who are you, what are you looking for our family?" He didn't know the person on the other side, so he didn't dare to get too close.

"Father-in-law Li, don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Seeing that there was no one behind Li Jingzhong, the man stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Borrow a secluded place to talk, King Qing has something to tell you!" ”

"You come with me!"

Li Jingzhong looked back, then walked down the steps, crossed the street, and turned into a secluded corner, "What's the matter with King Qing?" ”

The man looked at Li Jingzhong and suddenly asked, "Are you okay when you come back?" ”

Li Jingzhong shook his head and said, "Now the prince hasn't woken up yet, it's okay for the time being, but it's hard to say after waking up." ”

The man nodded, "It's best if you don't wake up." He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, stuffed it into Li Jingzhong, and said, "If he wants to drink tea when he wakes up, just pour a drop into his teacup." ”

"You want me to kill the prince! How can this work? Li Jingzhong was shocked and hurriedly returned the cork to the man, "I can't do this!" ”

The man's face sank, and he said coldly with his hands: "Do you dare not listen to King Qing's words and don't want to live?" Seeing that Li Jingzhong lowered his head and stopped talking, he took out another counter ticket, tore it in half, handed him half of it and said with a smile: "This is a 10,000 yuan counter ticket, after the matter is completed, King Qing will give you the other half." ”

"I don't want money!"

"And what do you want?"

Li Jingzhong hesitated for a moment, and suddenly mustered up the courage to say: "I want King Qing to promise to make me the post of internal supervisor in the future." ”

The man smiled. patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to take the money!" And you can also rest assured that this medicine will not attack until two hours later, you have enough time to leave, and as for the future official position, King Qing will never treat you badly. ”

Li Jingzhong nodded silently, squeezed the vial tightly and left the corner, trotting quickly towards the door of the mansion, the man watched his back disappear before he smiled coldly, leaning against the wall to observe the movement of Li Heng's mansion. About half an hour later, there was a sudden chaos in Li Heng's mansion. Roars and cries shouted, but Li Jingzhong started

Come out.

"This idiot. I have to bother the prince again! The man cursed under his breath, turned and disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning, the news of Li Heng's sudden violent death suddenly spread throughout Chang'an, and people talked about it. are speculating about the death of the former wife, and then a small piece of news circulated in the market that Li Heng died of poison, and some people saw him festering all over his body, and the smell was incomparable, and his personal attendant also died of medicine. It is estimated that he committed suicide in fear of sin.

The news soon spread to Huaqing Palace. Li Longji was furious. ordered Yang Guozhong to crack the case within three days, otherwise he would be dismissed. He then drove back to Beijing and summoned Geshuhan to meet him.

And said that Yang Guozhong rushed to Chang'an in a hurry, he had stayed in the Huaqing Palace, and did not know what happened last night, but he vaguely guessed that this matter was very likely to be related to Li Yu's matter, but Li Longji did not allow him to communicate with King Qing again, so in the name of investigating the case, he personally took Jingzhao Yin Xian Yu Zhongtong and a group of high-ranking officials such as the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai to station in Li Heng's mansion, and invited the kings who lived around to talk, including King Qing Li Cong.

"What the hell is going on?" In Li Hengdi's old study, Yang Guozhong asked Li Cong in a very corrupt manner, "You did this?" ”

"Yes, it was the king's doing, so what?"

—

Yang Guozhong's reproachful tone made Li Congxin extremely dissatisfied, he killed Li Heng beautifully last night, and Li Jingzhong also committed suicide in a funny way, saving him a lot of effort, he was proud, but he was reprimanded by Yang Guozhong, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Yang Xiangguo, to be precise, we did this matter, and you were also involved, have you forgotten?" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Yang Guozhong was furious, pointed at Li Cong, and trembled with anger, "I wasn't in Chang'an at all last night, what does this matter have to do with me?" ”

"Humph! Have you forgotten our oath that night? ”

Yang Guozhong was stunned, he suddenly remembered that he still had a signature in his hand, so he had to hold back his anger and whispered: "You should discuss this matter with me, how can you make your own decisions, do you know how much of a big drain you stabbed?" ”

"You? I came to see you last night, but you're not there? Do you know what happened before I killed Lee Hyung? Tell you, the matter of the false holy decree has been revealed, Li Heng already knows about it, if he doesn't kill him, he will report to the emperor today, and the emperor will force Yu Chaoen to ask again, and we will be finished. ”

"What? Exposed! ”

Yang Guozhong was taken aback, then in such a way, Li Yu will inevitably enter Beijing, isn't that the same end? He saw a flash of smugness in Li Cong's eyes, and seemed to be confident, and hurriedly asked, "Does Your Highness have a countermeasure?" ”

"Kill Li Heng, we already have time, and if we kill Yu Chaoen again, then we will really have peace of mind."

Yang Guozhong listened to him one by one, he was really annoyed, but he was helpless, time did not allow him and Li Cong to stay longer, so he said perfunctorily: "You can watch and do this matter!" I have no opinion. Li Cong stared at him deeply, turned around and went out.

Yang Guozhong was the only one left in the room, he sat down dejectedly, the matter of the false transmission of the holy decree was exposed, and the catastrophe was coming, but this Li Cong also made the matter bigger and bigger, and actually killed Li Heng, which is completely different from killing Anqing, doesn't he know?

'To put it lightly, if you kill Yu Chaoen, can you really sit back and relax? Is Yu Chaoen so stupid? He must have a back hand, and this matter cannot be hidden from Li Longji at all. Yang Guozhong was desperately tearing his hair, and Li Cong threatened him with his signature at every turn, and he regretted his rashness in the first place.

"What can I do about this?" He walked around the room with his head in his hands, muttering to himself, "No, I can't be killed by him!" ”

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through his mind, "Yes! I was just loyal to him, and I didn't write that I wanted to rebel with him, and the emperor already knew about my relationship with him, so what am I afraid of? ”

After figuring out this section, Yang Guozhong was in ecstasy, "As long as I deny everything, and there is no evidence of my participation, and then ask the concubine to intercede for me, this level may not be impossible." ”

He couldn't sit still anymore like a fire burning his buttocks, so he jumped up and ran towards Yang Huahua's mansion.

Yang Huahua is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, a woman has reached this age, the traces of aging have quietly emerged, the skin is loose, crow's feet crawl on the forehead, and the gray hair increases, Yang Huahua is no exception, at this moment, she can be called the first rich woman in the Tang Dynasty, the crazy accumulation of wealth in the past few years has made her forget how much wealth she has, her family treasury is limited, but her ** for money is unlimited, "men are unreliable, only money can protect themselves", therefore, the older she gets, the more important she looks at money.

It's a pity that Li Longji is no longer interested in her, without the emperor's favor, and the money that she takes the initiative to send to the door is much less, so she has to think about buying a property and seeking commercial interests.

She still has a privilege left, that is, she can enter the palace to find Yang Yuhuan at any time, but it is this privilege that makes her fly a big windfall today, Yang Guozhong cried to her about her stupidity, and begged her to enter the palace to let Yang Yuhuan save herself.

"If the crime is confirmed, this is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family, and the third sister will also be implicated." Yang Guozhong had ignored Xiangguo's identity, squatted in front of Yang Huahua and cried.

Yang Huahua really didn't understand why he was afraid, what kind of raid and extermination, would the emperor kill Yuhuan? But she didn't say it, now in her eyes, she couldn't see Yang Guozhong's tears, she only saw the piles of yellow gold in Yang Guozhong's treasury.

"Third brother, I have lost money in business in the past two years, and you know that I am strapped for money, since you want me to help you, then why don't you help the third sister first?"

For Yang Guozhong, Yang Huahua has no need to be subtle, she has already said plainly, 'If you want me to help you, take the money in exchange.' ’

Yang Guozhong wiped away the extra tears, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, it was not the first time, what are you crying about! "Third sister, make a price! How much? ”

Yang Huahua smiled slightly, compared her hand on her bucket waist, and said: "I heard Hui'er learn a saying the day before yesterday, saying that if you wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane down to Yangzhou, I want to know, what is this 100,000 yuan?" ”

"100,000!" Yang Guozhong almost bit her tongue, and her appetite was too great.

"Third sister!" He was just about to bargain, but Yang Huahua stretched out her hand to stop him, "It seems that the matter is not as serious as you said, so why bother to beg me?" Third brother, let's go back early! ”

After speaking, she got up and walked outside, Yang Guozhong stomped her foot fiercely, "100,000 is 100,000, and you are the only one who is so dark to your brothers and sisters!" ”

Yang Huahua looked back and smiled, her face was not born, only a cash cow was born, "Then we will make a decision, I will enter the palace now!" ”
