In front of Du's house, Feng Wang Li Heng walked back and forth extremely irritably, the other kings were not as impatient as him, most of them sat in the car, and some of them pretended to flip through the books, but from time to time they raised their heads to pay attention to the movements at the door of Du's house, but they revealed their concern and anxiety about the fact that Cui's had not come out so far. Even Li Li, the king of Nanyang, who had been silently counting in his heart and forcing himself to pretend that nothing had happened, scolded in a low voice when it had been half an hour since the servant reported it.

If I knew this, I should have asked my mother-in-law to come forward and directly grounded Cui's mother and son at home, so as not to delay the big event!

"It's out!"

As soon as this voice came out, I don't know how many pairs of eyes looked at the door of Du's house from all directions. People saw Cui Shi come out with a miserable face, and behind him was Azler holding Li Puppet and a team of guards. Under everyone's gaze, Azler put Cui's mother and son into the carriage, and he also turned over a horse that had just been pulled out, then glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is very sympathetic to Princess Guangping's plight, and specially ordered me to take someone to escort Princess Guangping back, and then go to the palace to ask someone to handle the funeral of Princess Guangping's young son." ”

After Azler had said this, he escorted Cui's ox cart away with a team of guards.

As soon as he left, a burst of discussion erupted all around. Some people are speculating whether Du Shiyi and Cui's mother and son have reached any exchange conditions, some people think that Du Shiyi is just talking and will not really investigate this case thoroughly, and some people think that Du Shiyi will not care about the old relationship with the Yang family at all, after all, Yang Taizhen is dead. As for the kings with their own thoughts, they forced themselves to temporarily abandon their concern for the Cui family's mother and son, because the real purpose of their coming here today was to find out Du Shiyi's attitude!

But soon, they were all disappointed. After Azler personally escorted Cui's mother and son back, the door of the Du Mansion was opened, and then the elite soldiers rushed out, looking at the posture as if there was some big battle. Feng Wang Li Heng couldn't help it for a long time, so he simply stepped forward to inquire in person, but the answer he got surprised him. Du Shiyi is going to visit Li Yi, the king of Wu who has just been promoted to Zong Zhengqing, and ask him to thoroughly investigate the death of the young son of the Cui family, the princess of Guangping!

Seeing Li Heng coming back in despair, the other kings also wanted to know what was going on in front of the Du family, so they had to go forward to inquire. Li Heng was not in the mood to sell Guanzi, so he said this straightforwardly, and saw that the faces around him were all panicked, he thought to himself that he was not afraid of shadows, and he didn't attack a child at all, so he sneered and said: "No matter who did it, ask for more blessings!" Du Xiangguo came forward, and King Wu, who served as Zong Zhengqing, had received his life-saving grace, even if he just dealt with it, he would definitely focus on pursuing it. Even if the person who started it gets promoted at that time, but if such a scandal happens, don't think about sitting firm! ”

Speaking of which, Fengwang Li Heng knew that it would be a waste of time to stay here today, so he immediately got back into the car and walked away. As soon as he left, the others glared at me, and gradually dispersed.

When Du Shiyi came out, he saw that more than half of the traffic and people that had blocked the street in front of the door had dispersed. He didn't know why, and quietly rushed to King Wu's mansion with a large number of followers.

Zongzheng Temple is not a busy yamen, and the clan doesn't care about any weddings and funerals these days, and they are all busy fighting for promotion, so Wu Wang Li Yi is not in Zongzheng Temple at this time, but in a private house. He was originally not an extremely important clan, but he was the younger brother of Li Yi, the king of Xin'an, and this time he had a meritorious role in resisting the rebels in Dongping Taishou, and his prestige was greatly increased, so he was appointed as Zong Zhengqing before he was seriously injured. As a result, Wu Wangzhai also gathered a lot of people to inquire about his style, but most of them were less important characters such as the emperor and grandson. Therefore, Du Shiyi's unexpected and sudden visit made everyone who asked to see him suspicious.

It must be known that the Son of Heaven once planned to appoint Li You, the king of Wu, as the marshal of the matter was rumored, although Li You's life was saved by Du Shiyi's army, but there was really such a friendship between the two?

During Du Shiyi's visit here, many people who heard the wind gathered outside King Wu's house to peep at the movement. You must know that Du Shiyi came back this time, and even the Cui Mansion of Pingkangfang only passed through its door and did not enter, but this time he visited Wu Wang Li You but no one came out for a long time, until the sun was in the sky, and more than an hour had passed since the time passed, and the gate of Wu Wang's Mansion was opened again, and the people outside saw that it was Wu Wang Li Yi himself who sent Du Shiyi and his party out!

"If the king is seriously injured and has not healed, just pick a few safe and careful people to investigate thoroughly, and don't force it."

"It's just a traumatic injury, and after two months of recuperation, it's almost better. Since it was Du Xiangguo who came to entrust me in person, as Zong Zhengqing, I should do my best! When Li Yi said this, he arched his hand solemnly and said, "I will go to Zongzheng Temple in person, no matter what, the son of the Cui family is also the bloodline of King Guangping, and he should always be given justice!" ”

The two of them spoke intentionally or unintentionally at the gate of King Wu's mansion, not avoiding those who were waiting to be seen, so when Du Shiyi returned to the private house surrounded by Hu Servants, and Wu Wang Li Yi rushed to Zongzheng Temple with his entourage, the people who had just gathered here immediately dispersed, and they were busy reporting the news they had just heard to the people behind them. In half a day, from Cui's visit to Du Shiyi to cry about the death of his young son, to Du Shiyi's personal visit to Zong Zhengqing's Wu Wang Li Zhen, asking for a thorough investigation of the cause of Cui's young son's death, Li Yi convened his subordinates in Zongzheng Temple, and instructed Jingzhao Mansion and Wannian County Party to assist in the investigation, this series of things spread loudly.

I don't know how many people have bitten their silver teeth, and as for the precious things that have suffered because of the owner's casual anger, there are countless of them!

That night, the roads that crisscrossed the Sixteen Princes' Mansions were quiet, but many of the mansions were still lit up all night, apparently urgently discussing how to deal with this unexpected situation. As the moon gradually disappeared into the clouds, and the dark shadows in the night were longing, several people exchanged glances with each other after passing through the wall adjacent to the prince's courtyard and turning into a remote courtyard. Although they only communicated silently like this, everyone was extremely tacit and quietly hid in the house.

When he came into the house, he saw that the curtains were hanging low, and it was evident that a woman was sleeping with her child in her arms, and the maidservant was sleeping soundly, and one of them went to the oil lamp and took it up, and then nodded to the others, and so did he turn the lamp down. Seeing that he had suddenly ignited the wooden case under his head, he gestured to the others, and everyone immediately withdrew the same way.

When he climbed over the wall again and reached the street, someone said in a very low voice: "Although I have already used medicine in advance to make the Cui family fall asleep, but in case someone in the courtyard comes to put out the fire......

"Cui's trouble today is self-defeating, everyone wants her mother and son to die! She died, and the sixteen kings' mansions were only afraid that everyone would celebrate with their hands. Now that the time has passed, the virtuous king will be elected tomorrow, even if Zongzheng Temple investigates thoroughly, it will not be able to find a famous hall, as long as it does not delay the big event! ”

"Shall we go back then?"

"Let's go to the ruined wall of King Feng's house first and hide in case!"

At that moment, the group quietly hid in the shadow of the high wall and went to the ruins of King Feng's mansion that had not yet been cleaned up. Soon a fire rose within the high wall, and when the fire grew louder and louder, there was a cry for help from inside, and then there was an uproar, and the sound of the fire came and went, but the other houses next to it seemed to be dead, and no one came out to check the movement.

One night later, the sudden crowd of the Prince's Courtyard was extinguished, and a small half of the courtyard was burned to the ground. There was a pungent smell of burning in the fire, among them, the courtyard where the Cui family lived was all burned down, and even the neighboring Nanyang King Li Li and his concubines were also affected, and it is said that Nanyang King Li Li himself was lucky to escape. Seven or eight corpses were found in the fire, all of which were unrecognizable, and there were also three corpses left in Cui's courtyard, one large and one small, almost separated by two corpses.

As a result, there were different opinions when he went around. Yesterday, the Cui family went to appeal to Du Shiyi in person, and there was such a fire at night, no one would think it was a coincidence. Otherwise, among the dead and injured in the prince's courtyard, why is it that only Cui's mother and son are noble, and the rest are slaves and maids?

Just when the fire in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion was like adding fuel to the fire, raising the already tense atmosphere in Chang'an City to the top, the Chang'an Chunming Gate in the early morning, the queues entering and leaving the city gate were also passing slowly. On an inconspicuous mule cart, a young woman dressed plainly without powder couldn't help but open the curtain and look at the towering city wall, her face full of reluctance.

After all, this is where she grew up, got married, and had children, but now she is going to stay away, and she doesn't know if she will be able to come back in this life!

"A-Niang, I will protect you in the future!" Li Puppet sensibly hugged his mother's arm and said in a low but firm voice.

"Good boy!" As soon as Cui's hand slipped, the curtain immediately fell from his hand. She hugged her son in her arms and muttered to herself, "I abandoned your brother who just died, and escaped with you like this, it's me who is too ruthless to be a mother, but you also saw the fire, if we don't escape, there is only one way to die!" As long as we're still together, it's enough! ”

As for what Du Shiyi said, she lost those relatives who were better than not, but she would get a relative who could really be relied on, Cui Shi didn't take it to heart. These clans of the husband's family are eager to kill her mother and son, and the Yang family, her mother's family, has long been in decline, and her mother doesn't care about her, let alone others. Otherwise, the world is so big, why would she go to Du Shiyi? Fortunately, Du Shiyi really agreed to help her, otherwise she would just let her mother and son die in the fire last night, so why bother?

When Du Shiyi reported that Cui's mother and son had left Chang'an City, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Wang Rong beside him: "I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." In any case, I am also responsible for the death of Cui's youngest son. Others may think that my idea is a young lord, but they have mistaken me, Du Shiyi! ”

"The bait thrown by Du Lang is too big, so some people do not hesitate to take risks, and Cui's has the least power to protect himself, so he has become a target." Wang Rongyu comforted Du Shiyi incorrectly, but a baby appeared in his heart. It was her own lost child, comparing her heart to her heart, Cui's didn't even have time to handle the funeral of her young son who had just died, and she escorted her eldest son away, how decisive it was!

"I sent Cui's mother and son to Yunzhou, so that I could also talk about the loneliness of the Guan Lord and the Yu Nu. It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I'm very familiar with it. Hehe, others will not know that there are many people who are said to be alive in the world, but in the history books, they have already become dead. ”

From the earliest Gongsun Aunt, to the later Yunu, then the crown prince Li Ying, the king of Hubei Li Yao, the king of light Li Ju, and the crown princess Xue and Xue Dynasty, and then to the later Princess Yuzhen, and now the Cui mother and son. If it weren't for the size of the world, where there was no place for them, or if they were disheartened and willing to escape, how could so many people be willing to die? Moreover, how many people have the audacity of Du Shiyi, and dare to arrange for them to escape?

"Rest assured, this farce is coming to an end." Du Shiyi hugged his wife, who had been with him for many years, and said in a calm tone, "I've already tried to see the dagger!" ”
