Chapter 658: Seeing Flowers in the Mist
Li Yier didn't expect Li Hongyu to ask her this question suddenly, and she panicked unprepared, and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
"Slaves and maids deserve to die, I hope your lordship will forgive your sins!"
But when she saw Li Hongyu's kind expression and didn't seem to blame her, Li Yier's heart couldn't help but tremble, swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and then knelt on the ground with her legs bent and pleaded guilty.
Obviously, Li Yier is a smart person, and Li Hongyu will never mention this matter for no reason, so her best choice now is to admit it, because since Li Hongyu asked her like this, it was to give her a chance to mend her ways
It would be a very stupid act to deny it, not only would it lose this hard-won opportunity, but it would also make Li Hongyu feel estranged from her.
Although Li Yi'er was the person sent by Li Hui to monitor the Ming mission, she knew very well that Li Hongyu was the noble person in her life, and the reason why the Ming envoy gave those prostitutes the opportunity to compose poems that day was Li Hongyu's proposal, otherwise where would she have a chance to get ahead.
Moreover, after this period of getting along, Li Yier is now a gentleman who acts upright, and she obviously believes in Li Hongyu more than Li Hui.
"Get up."
A smile appeared on the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth when he heard this, Li Yi'er really didn't disappoint him, and then said in a deep voice, "You are just a weak woman who can't control her own destiny, how can this official care about you?" ”
"Master Xie." Li Yi'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up nervously, it seemed that her choice just now was correct.
"If someone asks you that the Ming envoy views Li Yuanyi's assassination in this way, you tell them that the Ming envoy is extremely angry about this, thinking that someone is deliberately provoking the Ming Tianwei by doing this at this time." Li Hongyu glanced at Li Yi'er, who looked nervous, and asked.
"The slave understands." Li Yi'er nodded again and again when she heard this.
She knew that Li Hongyu was doing this to confuse the outside world, but as for the reason for this, she didn't know why, and she didn't dare to investigate, her heart was pounding: no wonder she couldn't get close to the Ming envoys, it turned out that the people of the Ming Dynasty had long known that she was the eyes and ears sent by Li Hui.
Li Yier is a little curious now, since Li Hongyu also thinks that the person who assassinated Li Yuanyi is not from the North Korean officialdom, then who is the other party, and what is the deep hatred with Li Yuanyi?
Although Li Hongyu didn't say it, Li Yier vaguely felt that Li Hongyu seemed to know the answer, but it was inconvenient to disclose it now.
Li Hongyu had indeed guessed the identities of the assassins who assassinated Li Yuanyi, and then went to Zhao Xin to discuss this matter, and told Zhao Xin the speculation in his heart.
"Brother Li, I also think that this matter is related to Jiannu, no one except Jiannu will provoke such an incident at this time, and it is still a Shilin leader like Li Yuanyi."
Zhao Xin pondered after listening to Li Hongyu's speculation, and said with a smile, "It seems that Jiannu doesn't want us to live in peace in North Korea." ”
"Since Jiannu can't wait to send someone to North Korea to make trouble for us now, then there is a chance that Liaoxi is in danger!"
Li Hongyu sighed helplessly when he heard this, and couldn't help but reach out and beat his forehead, Nurhachi was worthy of his old scheming, and clearly realized the danger of two-front warfare, so he was ready to take Liaoxi in one go to relieve the crisis that Houjin is now facing.
"We can't quench our thirst now, we can only wait and see what happens, maybe Wang Huazhen can defend Guangning City." Zhao Xin knew that Li Hongyu was worried about the soldiers and people in Liaoxi, but now that they were far away in North Korea, they couldn't reach it, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"I hope so." Li Hongyu sighed when he heard this, and then shouted outside the door, "Someone!" ”
"My lord, what do you command?" A guard guarding the door hurriedly came in when he heard this, bowed down and asked.
"Send someone to secretly check if there are any people from the north these days, and you can't let go of any of them." Li Hongyu commanded in a deep voice, if calculated from the time, the person sent by Nurhachi should be Seoul from a recent period of time.
Since the Ming envoys came to Seoul, the gates of Seoul were guarded by Korean soldiers and Ming soldiers, and outsiders entering and leaving the city gates were registered.
Therefore, if you can check the registration records and know which people from the north are coming from these days, and then look for them, you will definitely find clues.
"Brother Li, what should you do with those people if you find them?" Waiting for the guards to leave, Zhao Xin asked.
"Since those people dare to come to North Korea, they must have put life and death aside, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch the dead soldiers sent by Jiannu."
Li Hongyu's brows furrowed, and then he said lightly, "They're just some inconsequential pawns, since they want to cause trouble in Seoul, let them do it, as long as you can monitor their actions." ”
"The chief would never have imagined that he would help us invisibly, and the more chaos he made in Seoul, the better it would be for us."
Zhao Xinli laughed when he heard this, Nurhachi would not have thought that Li Hongyu was hoping that North Korean officialdom would become chaotic, so that Li Hong would be able to fish in troubled waters and get the most out of it.
The assassination of Li Yuanyi caused an uproar in Seoul, and no one in the government and the opposition expected that the highly respected Li Yuanyi would encounter such a thing, so they demanded that the murderer be severely punished.
There were two murderers who assassinated Li Yuanyi, because of their sudden sneak attack and quick action, when the people around them reacted, the two had already fled, leaving only Li Yuanyi who fell in a pool of blood.
Although the assassin escaped, fortunately Li Yuanyi escaped with his life after being rescued by the doctor, and Zheng Inhong and other officials of the North Korean officialdom all came to visit early the next morning, and Li Hui also sent his inner servants to send supplements, and the whole city of Seoul searched for the attackers.
On the third day, Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin came to visit the injured Li Yuanyi on behalf of the Ming Mission, which made the pale Li Yuanyi flattered and wanted to get up from the bed to thank him but was stopped by Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu got the news that Li Yuanyi was seriously injured, but when he saw Li Yuanyi, Li Yuanyi was only stabbed in the arm and in the stomach, no matter what, Li Yuanyi had also been in the army, and had an instinctive reaction to the sudden danger, and then luckily avoided the other party's fatal move.
The attacker attacked Li Yuanyi on the way to the latrine, Li Yuanyi was stabbed twice and fled in a hurry covering the wound on his stomach, followed by the two entourages next to him who desperately blocked the two attackers, and gave their lives for this, but also bought Li Yuanyi enough time to escape for his life, otherwise Li Yuanyi would die on the spot.
"My lord, although the wound of Wanping Mansion is no longer serious, but now the high fever continues, and we are trying to find a way to reduce his fever."
Li Yuanyi's body was very weak, Li Hongyu comforted him and left the room after a few words, and in the living room of the Li family, the doctor who treated Li Yuanyi bowed down to report to Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin.
"Is there a way to cure the Emperor of the Peace House?" Li Hongyu asked quietly when he heard this, he knew that Li Yuanyi's high fever was due to the infection of the wound, not to mention the doctor in North Korea, even the imperial doctor of the Ming Dynasty had no choice.
"This ......"
Several doctors at the scene couldn't help but look embarrassed, this kind of condition was out of the scope of their diagnosis and treatment, and it was not something that could be solved by modern medical technology.
"You do your best, if you can successfully save the Pingfu Yuanjun, then this official will have a heavy reward." Seeing this, Li Hongyu opened his mouth and said, not being too harsh.
"Master Xie." Several doctors were relieved when they heard this, and left with great gratitude.
"There are clues to the murderer." After the doctors left, Li Hongyu asked Zheng Renhong, who was sitting in the lower seat.
Although Zheng Renhong had already come to visit Li Yuanyi yesterday, how could he sit idly by when Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin, the liaison officers of the Ming Mission, came, so he led the civil and military officials of the DPRK to accompany him to visit Li Yuanyi.
"Back to my lord, the messengers in the yamen are searching the whole city, and because the murderer is prepared, the situation has not progressed yet."
Zheng Renhong bowed to Li Hongyu when he heard this, and replied with a serious expression, the two perpetrators seemed to be steamed in the world, and the official messenger almost turned over Seoul without any clues.
"This matter was born under the nose of the envoy, and the envoy was quite angry, hoping to find the murderer as soon as possible and severely punish the main messenger behind the scenes."
Li Hongyu frowned and looked at Zheng Renhong when he heard this, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the attack on Li Yuanyi, after all, the Ming envoy was still in Seoul, wouldn't this be a provocation to the Ming envoy?
"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will do their best to track down and severely punish the murderer." Zheng Renhong could clearly feel Li Hongyu's dissatisfaction, so he bowed solemnly and replied, and he was extremely angry about this matter in his heart, and he lost people in front of the Ming envoys.
Li Hongyu did not stay in Li Yuanyi's house for a long time, and after comforting the Li family, he returned to the guest house.
In fact, not only Li Hongyu, but also those civil and military officials in Seoul have also strengthened their security vigilance, and many people protect them when they travel to avoid being assassinated like Li Yuanyi.
Although the Korean envoys did not find any clues, Li Hongyu's men had already found clues from the records of the enthronement in and out of the city, and the spearhead was a caravan from the north a few days ago.
Li Hongyu's men were not suspicious of this caravan for no reason, because the number of outsiders who entered the city after the year was the largest number of people in this caravan, and the situation was the most complicated.
According to the verification of Li Hongyu's subordinates, this caravan has been doing business in Seoul for many years, and there is nothing suspicious at first glance, but because many of the employees of the caravan to transport goods are hired temporarily, there is great uncertainty, so they cannot rule out the suspicion of those employees in the caravan, so the caravan is the first object of suspicion.
Li Hongyu did not let people move the caravan, but let people secretly monitor and investigate secretly.
Li Yuanyi's attack has already made the officialdom in Seoul panic and speculation, and there are already rumors in the market that this incident is linked to the fact that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to abolish Li Huili's son, Li Zhen, so there is no need for Li Hongyu to expose the mystery at this time.
Anyway, the caravan was already firmly under Li Hongyu's control, so no matter whether the caravan was involved in Li Yuanyi's assassination or not, as long as Li Hongyu wanted to, he could arrest the caravan at any time.
