Chapter 164: Li Ji's reply!
All the way over, Li Hong's face was thoughtful.
made Pei think that he was dissatisfied with Qian'er's disposal, after all, Qian'er used to be Li Hong's personal maidservant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Li Hong's treasure.
"No ......"
Li Hong was awakened by Pei's soft voice and said with a wry smile.
"Qian'er, that girl is careless, she can't be the boss of the company, not to mention that she has a pure mind, and she can't deal with those intrigues, so it's more appropriate to be a personal servant girl by your side."
Pei Shi calmed down and said softly.
"Well, it was the concubine who didn't think about it before, but today's matter is clearly a trap designed by Liu Zhangyan, bullying Qian'er who doesn't know the way, and it has just gotten to such a point, the concubine should have thought that Qian'er is not qualified enough, and her subordinates will definitely disobey her ......"
"Huh? How did Wanying know? ”
Li Hong asked with some confusion.
Today, he did see that Liu Zhangyan was wrong, but first, he had no evidence, and second, he didn't specifically see what was wrong.
Why was Pei's ability to determine so quickly that it was Liu Zhangyan who was playing tricks?
"Hee-hee, Your Highness doesn't know anything about ......"
Pei Shi proudly straightened his chest, formed a perfect arc in the air, and continued.
"Their plan is very thorough, and it may not be obvious to another person, but the concubine has been doing business with her father since she was a child, although the account book is decent, but the concubine knows where they did it at a glance, so Liu Zhangyan must have taken advantage of Li Zhangzang's greed......"
After a pause, Pei said.
Seeing Pei Shi talking eloquently, Li Hong's eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, Pei couldn't help but step forward and hug the latter. Kissed hard.
"Wanying, do you know those strange accounts?"
Pei Shi was blushing from Li Hong's surprise attack. Suddenly heard his question, stared at Qingli's big eyes, and said innocently.
"Weird? Your Highness, those things are easy! ”
"Wanying, shall we visit my father-in-law in a few days?"
Li Hong was stunned, and then said with some excitement.
"Visiting Father?"
Pei Shi felt that she couldn't keep up with her husband's leapfrog thinking, but since she was able to go home to visit her parents, it was naturally good.
didn't hesitate and agreed.
"Everything is up to Your Highness!"
Li Hong was about to continue talking. saw Wang Fusheng hurriedly walked in.
"Your Highness, General Cheng is back!"
Li Hong hesitated, then turned to Pei Shi and said.
"Wanying, you go to rest first, I'll go back to ......"
With that, he left the inner palace.
Front hall.
"Cheng Wu, can you do what Gu asked you to investigate?"
As soon as he sat down, Li Hong asked in a deep voice to His Highness Cheng Wu.
"Back to Your Highness, the origin of that charlatan warlock has been investigated, and it is currently in perspective. Nothing out of the ordinary! ”
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Wu said.
"Is he really for those twenty times?"
Li Hong frowned and continued to ask.
Although today in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the performance of that Du Yuanji is not abnormal. But Li Hong still has to be cautious, after all, there are so many coincidences in the world.
If it was just for a little money, why did Du Yuanji target him?
What's more, today's Du Yuan Era is not all the level of ordinary charlatans. Li Hong can't be suspicious!
Therefore, after Du Yuanji left the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Li Hong ordered Cheng Wu to find out his origin.
"Back to Your Highness. This news came from Miss Helan, and she also sent someone to verify it. It should be true, this person is innocent, and he usually makes a living by unsigning the lot, the only thing that is a little suspicious is that he practiced with an unknown Taoist priest for a period of time when he was a teenager, and there is no other abnormality! ”
Cheng Wu was not in a hurry and said in a deep voice.
After a pause, Cheng Wu took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over.
"This is the life of Du Yuanji, please take a look at it."
Obviously, Cheng Wu made a lot of preparations before coming back.
Li Hong took the pamphlet and was silent for a moment.
I have to say that Helan Minyue's intelligence network is really powerful, and in a short period of time, he has figured out the identity of Du Yuanji, although this information is not detailed, but at least the basic information of his person is available.
"That's it, this matter is over, there is no need to continue the investigation."
Li Hong pondered for a moment and said.
"How about the other thing that Lone told you?"
This time, Li Hong's tone was a little nervous, and it was obvious that the matter was not small.
For Li Hong, Du Yuanji is just a small episode, and it is not worth his too much trouble.
What's more, when Li Hong left, he deliberately handed him a jade pendant, thinking that if he had any other purpose, he would definitely come again, and when the time came, the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, and Li Hong would not be afraid of a little warlock!
Cheng Wu will not leave Li Hong alone just for such a trivial matter, and the investigation of Du Yuanji is just piggybacking.
"Back to Your Highness, this is a reply from the Duke of England!"
Cheng Wu took out a letter from his sleeve again and handed it to Li Hong.
After a pause, Cheng Wu continued.
"Your Highness, rest assured, you are very careful when you go to the humble position, and you are also going to see the British Duke directly, and no fourth person knows about this matter!"
Li Hong nodded slightly.
Obviously, he was very satisfied with Cheng Wu's cautious attitude.
In fact, the biggest task he sent out today was to send a letter to Li Ji for him!
After the court meeting that day, Li Hong knew that his relationship with the military had aroused Li Zhi's vigilance, so he was more cautious in his words and deeds, and did not have contact with the military.
Even Pei Xingjian, who had received Li Hong's great favor, only expressed his gratitude in Hanyuan Hall in a slurred manner.
That's what it takes.
But what worried Li Hong even more was the letter that appeared rashly at the court meeting, and those too generous conditions made Li Hong very uneasy.
And now Pei Xingjian has returned to the Western Expedition Army to preside over the overall situation, so Li Hong had no choice but to find an opportunity to secretly ask Li Ji what happened.
This time accompanying Pei Shi to worship the Buddha is an excellent excuse, Donggong's usual every move will be noticed by everyone, even if Li Hong does it secretly, it will be known by some people.
Therefore, Li Hong simply went to Ci'en Temple with Pei Shi generously, and at the same time secretly sent Cheng Wu to deliver the letter.
Looking at the well-sealed letter in his hand, Li Hong no longer hesitated, and reached out to open the envelope.
His Royal Highness Cheng Wu looked at His Royal Highness the Prince's face for a while, and he couldn't help but have some speculation in his heart.
It wasn't until Li Hong came to his senses that he waved Cheng Wu back down with an ugly face.
After a while, Li Hong sighed and called softly.
"Wang Fusheng!"
"The slave is here!"
Wang Fusheng was already waiting on the side.
It was the first time he had seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look like this, and he couldn't help but be a little careful in his words.
"Early tomorrow morning, you go and ask Master Dai and Master Zhang to go to the East Palace in the evening to discuss matters."
After a pause, Li Hong seemed to be a little hesitant and added another sentence.
"Also, invite Lord Xu too!"
"Yes!"
Wang Fusheng is really a little uneasy now, Dai Zhide and Zhang Wenqian are both people in the East Palace, if it is natural to invite them over, but Xu Jingzong is the right-hand man of the Empress Wu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even wants to invite him, could it be that something terrible happened?
Wang Fusheng was curious, but his face was not revealed, and after respectfully agreeing, he quietly retreated.
He knows the current situation very well, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid that he needs to be quiet.
After Wang Fusheng retreated with a group of palace maids, Li Hong was the only one left in the empty hall.
The latter looked at the letter in his hand with a complicated expression.
After a long time, he sighed deeply and turned back to the apse...... (To be continued.) )
