"Who is it?" Li Xiu didn't expect Ma Ye to know about this, which also made him hurriedly ask, after all, Zhang's father and son died too strangely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The eldest princess of Tong'an!" Ma Ye sighed at this time, and then slowly spoke.

"How is that possible?" Li Xiu was immediately shocked when he heard Ma Ye's answer, in his impression, although the eldest princess Tong'an had some shortcomings, she was still a very kind old lady on the whole, and she really couldn't be involved in the murder.

However, as soon as the words came out, Li Xiu suddenly calmed down, because he suddenly thought that the eldest princess of Tong'an did have a reason to kill Zhang's father and son, and the reason was that Zhang Ju provoked Hate'er, although he had been driven out of Chang'an by Li Xiu, but the eldest princess of Tong'an has always been bold, and timid people will definitely be very cautious, so in order to completely eliminate the threat of Zhang's father and son's reputation to Hate'er, killing people is naturally the most suitable way.

"Got it, their Li family not only has men who are powerful, but women don't have a fuel-efficient lamp!" Ma Ye saw the change in the expression on Li Xiu's face, and said with a smile at the moment, he once told the county lord of Guanghua about hating, and it is estimated that the county lord of Guanghua told the eldest princess of Tong'an again, but he didn't expect this old lady to be so ruthless, for the sake of her granddaughter's reputation, she killed someone without even blinking her eyes.

"Who said that, our family Xiuning is very good, if this matter is replaced by her, she will definitely not care about human life like the eldest princess!" When Li Xiu heard Ma Ye's words, he disagreed very much, of course his wife had to defend it.

"Haha~, the princess is such a little woman who will only behave in front of you, but you don't want to think about it, the princess on the battlefield was able to command thousands of troops and horses, and it is far from enough to rely on kindness, when it comes to killing decisively, the princess is no worse than her brothers!" Regarding Li Xiu's words, Ma Ye laughed and said, he watched Princess Pingyang grow up since he was a child, so he naturally knew Princess Pingyang better.

"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little speechless when he heard this, because what Ma Ye said was indeed the truth, and as a husband, he also found that although Princess Pingyang was usually gentle and virtuous, but whenever she encountered a major event, especially when leading the troops, the whole person immediately seemed to be a different person, cold and impersonal, which made Li Xiu also a little suspicious of whether his wife was a little schizophrenic, fortunately, as long as she did not go to the battlefield, Princess Pingyang was very normal.

"Okay, I won't talk to you more nonsense, Qi Niang said that she was bored at home, and asked me to take her to play in Qujiangchi, so you don't have to wait for us for lunch!" Ma Ye seemed to be very busy, patted the new clothes on his body at the moment, straightened his beard and prepared to leave.

"Qi Niang and you go to Qujiang Pond? What about hate? Li Xiu heard Ma Ye's words but felt that something was not right, and casually asked about the whereabouts of Hate'er.

"Ahem~, Hate'er didn't come today, I guess it's at the eldest princess, right?" Ma Ye heard Li Xiu's rhetorical question, but he coughed dryly, and then spoke, but his expression when he spoke was a little unnatural, and after he finished speaking, he left quickly, not giving Li Xiu a chance to ask again.

"Qujiangchi? It's a great place to go on a date! Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper when he saw this, and then showed a somewhat ambiguous expression, he didn't expect that Ha'er and Qi Niang really got things done, and if they continued at this rate, maybe they would have to drink the wedding wine of Ma Ye and the county lord of Guanghua after the New Year.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, Li Xiu's house is also very lively, in addition to preparing for the festival, there are also many guests who come to visit every day, in fact, the main thing is to give gifts to Lala, Li Xiu has always been very fond of these things, so except for acquaintances, he is generally reluctant to meet, of course, he can't see so many guests at all, and these people also know that it is difficult to see Li Xiu, usually after drinking a cup of tea and leaving, there is no need for Li Xiu to meet.

However, on the afternoon of the twenty-eighth, there was a guest who surprised Li Xiu to visit, and he personally went out to greet him, because this guest turned out to be Wang Renbiao, who had met twice before, that is, the father of the girl who liked Xuanzang, and at the same time he also had a great son Wang Fangyi, of course, Wang Fangyi was only a young child now.

"Why does Brother Wang have time to come to my house today, is the family okay?" Li Xiu immediately invited Wang Renbiao to sit down and serve tea, and then said with a smile.

"Hehe, in fact, I came to see the horse today, on the one hand, to pay New Year's greetings to the horse in advance, and on the other hand, to say goodbye to the horse!" I saw Wang Renbiao smiling and saying to Li Xiu at this time, looking at his face full of spring breeze, it seemed that he had encountered some happy event.

"Farewell? Brother Wang, where are you going? Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Wang Renbiao in surprise when he heard this.

"That's the case, there was a vacancy in Qizhou some time ago, so His Majesty appointed me as the assassin of Qizhou, and asked me to take office after the New Year!" Wang Renbiao said with joy at this time, although he was born in a noble family, but he has not been reused, and can only take on an idle position in the household department, and now he finally has a chance to be released, he is naturally very happy.

"Qizhou? Why is it so remote? Li Xiu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, Qizhou is located in Hubei in later generations, although Hubei was not remote in later generations, but in the era of the Tang Dynasty, most of the south has not been developed, and the imperial court's governance over there is weak, so it is not easy to be an official in the south.

"In fact, it's not particularly remote, at least it's much stronger than Yizhou, Zhangzhou and the like, and the land in the south is fertile, as long as it is properly governed, it will definitely be like the Central Plains in the future, and it will definitely become a prosperous place for my Datang Dynasty, it just so happens that I am not young, if I don't become an official, I am afraid that I will have no chance in the future!" Wang Renbiao was very satisfied at this time.

In fact, Wang Renbiao also knew that some time ago, the eldest princess of Tong'an found her daughter Guanghua County Lord, and her attitude towards him was no longer so bad, which gave him the opportunity to be released as an official, so he also had to seize this hard-won opportunity.

Seeing Wang Renbiao so happy, Li Xiu can also understand his feelings, after all, he is a scholar, and he also wants to make contributions, and this release as an official is his opportunity to show his talents, so he is so happy, Li Xiu can't say anything about this, he can only tell him to take care of his health, and Wang Renbiao said that his wife and son will still stay in Chang'an, and wait until he has a firm foothold in Qizhou before taking them over, so during this time, he also asked Li Xiu to take care of him, and Li Xiu naturally agreed.

The lively Spring Festival has finally arrived, followed by a more lively Shangyuan Festival, unmarried men and women in Chang'an City are looking forward to this day, and married people are also planning to take their families to enjoy the lanterns, but in this lively festival, there are people whose hair is almost gray.
