Chapter 41: The Second Day of Astonishment (6)
Regarding this letter from the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An completely lost his temper.
It can only be said that Xie An's wisdom is not up to the level of the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, even if it is a letter, it is led by the nose by this woman, and he has no choice but to finish the complaint of the eldest grandson Xiangyu that is more than ten pages long.
What is sick in bed, what ** is still faintly painful, what is the sound of magpie birds on the eaves that upsets her, this kind of innocuous words, that woman actually wrote almost the whole article, but there is something about Yu He, but there is only a few paragraphs.
However, the thoughts she revealed for Xie An between the lines made Xie An quite moved.
As he said before, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is actually just an ordinary woman, who seems to behave perversely and shocking the world, but in fact, she is also the same as Liang Qiu Wu, she is a well-behaved woman, once she recognizes the person who belongs to her heart and is deeply emotional, she will not hesitate to give everything for it.
In the Great Zhou, which woman has the courage of the eldest grandson Xiangyu to dare to hand over her innocent virginity to her son before marriage?
Of course, if such an affectionate woman is betrayed by her beloved, the consequences are quite serious, especially a woman like the eldest grandson Xiangyu, whose intelligence is comparable to that of a demon.
But then again, how could Xie An be willing to turn her back on a woman like her who is so beautiful and amazingly intelligent?
The reason why Xie An did not visit Changsun Xiangyu was that he was too busy investigating the case in the past few days, and secondly, Changsun Jing had obviously learned that Xie An had smuggled her daughter out of the mansion in some way, so he was more tightly controlled by her daughter.
Ah, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I can't help it......
Thinking of this, Xie An sighed secretly, and from the words of this letter, he concluded that the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was sick in bed, was in a very depressed mood, as if he was a canary in a cage, without the slightest freedom, but what could he Xie An do?
You must know that Xie An is now a thorn in the side of Sun Jing, the head of the military department.
Seeing Xie An silently put away the letter in his hand, Liang Qiuwu asked curiously, "An, did that woman write a reply in the letter?" β
"Hmm!" Xie An nodded, and after glancing at everyone present, he said in a low voice, "Xiangyu deduces that the message that Lord Yu Heyu, the right envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory, wanted to leave before he died was a [Dong] character!" As he spoke, he told the eldest grandson Xiangyu's inference process as it was, and everyone present looked amazed.
"I see...... East? After muttering, Xun's face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Could it be the prince of the East Palace?" β
Xie An shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I saw the crown prince Li Wei yesterday, and his expression was mostly unaware, it wouldn't be him!" β
Liang Qiuwu was slightly stunned, and said in surprise, "If it's not the prince of the East Palace, then what does the Dongzi left by Lord Yu refer to?" β
"Isn't there another one?" Glancing at Liang Qiu Wu, Xie An said word by word, "Dongling Assassin!" β
"East ...... Ridge Assassins? Liang Qiuwu's face was slightly shocked, and then he frowned and said, "Isn't that the same?" - Ann, didn't you say before that the Dongling Assassin was also the person recruited by the crown prince Li Wei? β
"Of course it's different!" Xie An shook his head and said, "Prince Li Wei can indeed command the Dongling Assassins, but on the other hand, Prince Li Wei is not the only one who can command the Dongling Assassins!" ββWu, you should know, the crown prince Li Wei has a very good sibling brother......"
Liang Qiuwu's face changed suddenly, and he muttered, "Fifth Prince, Li Cheng?!" - Are you sure, Ann? β
Xie An nodded, shook his head again, frowned and said thoughtfully, "I can't say it's certain, but the fifth prince is the most suspicious...... In short, I'm going to see Prince Li Wei again! β
Liang Qiuwu looked at Xie An in astonishment for a while, and then nodded slowly.
At the same time, the crown prince Li Wei was still waiting for his younger brother in the confinement room of Zongzheng Temple, the fifth prince Li Cheng.
I have to say that the crown prince Li Wei is not like Xie An thought before, just an arrogant and talented guy, it is undeniable that he Li Wei is indeed arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, but he also has real talent and learning, and he also thought of the real message left by Yu He through his sleeves.
A [east] word!
Also, if he Li Wei is really a straw bag, how can Li Ji indulge him for a long time today?
When it comes to the word [East], I'm afraid most people will think of the prince of the East Palace, but only Li Wei himself knows best that Yu He was not killed by his order, although he Li Wei has always been ruthless, but as his father and son Li Ji said, it seems that Yu He is such an important chess piece, Li Wei does not have the courage to give up easily.
But if this is the case, this question arises, it is not him Li Wei who did it, who is it?
Li Wei was not stupid, he immediately guessed that the east that Yu He was referring to was not Li Wei, the prince of his East Palace, but the Dongling assassin!
Speaking of Dongling assassins, it was precisely Li Wei's younger brother, the fifth prince Li Cheng, who proposed to recruit, in other words, the message left by Yu He before his death was left by his crown prince Li Wei!
Maybe Jin Ling'er is still haunted by it, and the prince Li Wei recruited Dongling assassins to give him advice in addition to her dangerous building assassins, but in fact, the prince Li Wei did not recruit Dongling assassins, he has always felt that Jin Ling'er, who is proficient in disguise and poison, is the best candidate for assassins, after all, Jin Ling'er quietly put down Zhang Chang and other four Li Wei's personal guards, which left a deep impression on Li Wei, even after Jin Ling'er failed to assassinate Xie An and Li Shou.
But despite this, when Li Cheng, his younger brother born to his mother, proposed to recruit another group of assassins, the crown prince Li Wei did not object, after all, Jin Ling'er's attitude was vacillating from side to side at that time, and it was not a bad thing to use the hand of the Dongling assassin to stimulate this woman.
No, after hearing that his crown prince Li Wei had recruited Dongling assassins again, Jin Ling'er's attitude immediately changed, and he took the initiative to contact him Li Wei.
Li Wei didn't want Jin Ling'er to feel that she had to do it, so when Jin Ling'er took the initiative to see him, he deliberately pretended to be cold, and said something to Jin Ling'er, asking her to do one thing together with the Dongling Assassin, whoever does a good job can become the special assassin of his crown prince Li Wei, and when he Li Wei ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, who can become the royal assassin of the palace, but in fact, the crown prince Li Wei did not use the Dongling assassin, whether it was pretending to assassinate the eighth prince Li Xian, Later, he assassinated several ministers of the DPRK and China, such as Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Shilang of the Criminal Department, and the crown prince Li Wei asked Jin Ling'er to do it himself.
But what he never expected was that Li Cheng, the younger brother of his mother's compatriot, would actually give orders to the Dongling Assassins behind his back and assassinate Yu He.
Yu He, the right envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory, is an important chess piece that is not easy to pull in, how can it be easily abandoned?
Thinking of this, the anger in the heart of the crown prince Li Wei could not be extinguished.
And at this moment, the door of the confinement room was pushed open, and a glimmer of light shone into the dim room, accompanied by a slight footstep, the belated fifth prince Li Cheng walked in, chuckled and said, "Brother, you called the little brother, is there something wrong?" β
Among the many brothers of the crown prince Li Wei, only the fifth prince Li Cheng has the qualifications to call Li Wei his elder brother, after all, they are brothers born to the same father and mother, in addition, even if it is the eighth prince Li Xian, he can only be called the second brother, or the honorific title of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Come, come here! - Brother has something to ask you! β
"Yes!" The fifth prince Li Cheng smiled slightly, and walked to the side of the crown prince Li Wei in a few steps.
In the light of the candle flame, it is not difficult to find that the fifth prince Li Chengsheng is quite handsome, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is a talent, seemingly gentle and elegant, but his eyes that sometimes turn are enough to prove that this person is not stupid.
Seeing his younger brother walking to his side, Prince Li Wei casually pointed to the futon beside him and motioned for Li Cheng to sit down and speak.
"Brother still doesn't like someone to be condescending to brother," with a chuckle, Li Cheng sat down on the futon, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile, "Brother, just say anything, those beautiful ladies in the little brother's house are still waiting for the little brother to go back and linger with them!" β
In Li Cheng's words, there is not too much respect and restraint, it seems quite casual, if he were someone else, the prince Li Wei would have been annoyed, but in the face of his own brother who has been spoiled since childhood, Li Wei has no choice but to do nothing.
Taking a deep look at his younger brother who had been sheltered by him since he was a child, Prince Li Wei did not hide the displeasure in his heart, frowned and said, "Cheng, tell my brother the truth, Yu He, did you ask someone to kill him?" β
"......" was suddenly questioned by this, Li Cheng had a stiff smile on his face, and said with a strange expression, "How could my brother have this idea?" β
Li Wei knew his own brother too well, and when he saw the expression on Li Cheng's face, he knew that there must be something greasy in it, his eyes widened, and he reprimanded angrily with the gentleness that he didn't treat his own brother as usual, "When did you learn to lie to your brother?" - Yu He left a message before he died, saying that you secretly sent Dongling Assassins to do it...... So far, you still haven't told me the truth?! β
Seeing that his own brother, who spoiled him more on weekdays, was so angry, a trace of panic flashed in Li Cheng's eyes, and he said urgently, "Impossible! -- Those people in Dongling clearly said that Yu He had never written anything......" Speaking of this, his face froze when he was speechless, and he subconsciously lowered his head.
"Good things you did!" The crown prince Li Wei scolded angrily, for the first time, he became angry with his doted brother.
"Brother, the little brother knows that he is wrong...... Li Cheng lowered his head timidly, and said pitifully, "The little brother just wants to help the elder brother and help the elder brother sit on the throne......
"Help? That's how you help? Looking at his own brother, the crown prince Li Wei scolded angrily, "Do you know that as soon as Yu He dies, Yushitai will be owned by the eighth child!" ββHow much effort did my brother make to push He to the position of the imperial envoy of the right capital of the Imperial Historical Observatory, you don't know it! β
Li Cheng shrank his head and said in a low voice, "Brother is angry, the younger brother went back to ask the concubine for peace, and the concubine said that only if my brothers work together, can my brother become the son ......of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Seeing his younger brother mention his brother's mother and concubine Chen, Prince Li Wei's tone softened unconsciously, and after looking at his younger brother angrily for a long time, he shook his head and sighed, "Even if it is the meaning of the concubine, you can't carry your brother behind your back...... How many times has my brother said it? The matter of the throne, it is enough to have a brother to fight for, you don't need to show your face, just play with your wives and concubines in the house safely, with your brother here, no one dares to do anything to you! -- Why do you want to cause more trouble? β
"Brother is angry, let the little brother say something...... The younger brother just felt that Zhan Shi Zhou Zheng of Zhan Shifu alone was not enough to clear his brother's suspicion of sending someone to assassinate the Shangshu of the Execution Department and the Squire of the Criminal Department, unless, Yu He also died that night...... Brother think about it, after Yu He's death, can anyone in the court suspect that his brother assassinated the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shilang of the Criminal Department? ββIf you can bring down the eighth child in this way, there is only one Yu He, why pity? β
"You ......" Prince Li Wei was speechless, frowned and looked at his own brother, secretly thinking in his heart.
It is undeniable that Li Cheng's words do have their truth, speaking of which, it is precisely because no one believes that he Li Wei will abandon Yu He, which makes the ministers of the DPRK and China turn the suspicion of assassinating the more than ten ministers to the eighth prince Li Xian, and on the other hand, if Yu He is still alive, I am afraid that this will not be possible.
"Cheng, you are more ruthless than your brother...... Looking at his younger brother deeply for a long time, the crown prince Li Wei sighed tiredly, then rubbed his head and shook his head and sighed and said, "The imperial historian of the third grade, you will give up if you say that you will give up, and you will not discuss it with your brother...... Thanks to you, my brother was scared of the six gods and had no owner, and thought that Huang Que was behind, not only hurriedly united the third, sixth, and seventh children, but also gave the post of Shangshu of the Criminal Department to that Xie An in vain, alas! The bamboo basket fetchs water for an empty ...... I wanted to take this opportunity to accept the criminal department, but I didn't want to be given by you...... Alas! - You want to help my brother, my brother doesn't object, but you have a good relationship with your brother, what have you done! β
Li Cheng shrank his head when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "How did the little brother know that there would be such a fork......
"You!" Looking at his own brother who has always been spoiled, Prince Li Wei was angry, but he couldn't bear to scold, after all, his mother and concubine Chen taught him since he was a child that as an elder brother, he should protect his younger brother.
Maybe noticing the anger on his brother's face, Li Cheng begged for mercy and said, "After all, it's not exactly a bad thing, is it?" -- Brother was on the morning that day, but he severely frustrated the spirit of the eighth child......"
"......" Prince Li Wei was silent, he really didn't want to scold this younger brother, not to mention that he had always spoiled Li Cheng, just that Li had suffered grievances, and found his brothers' mother Chen Guifei to cry, causing Chen Guifei to question, most likely in the end, he Li Wei had to apologize to his younger brother.
Maybe others wouldn't think of it, but in fact, the crown prince Li Wei was extremely filial to his biological mother Chen Guifei and did not dare to be disobedient at all.
I have to say that if someone else harmed Yu He, the crown prince Li Wei would definitely have to pay for the debt with blood, but now that he learned that it was his own brother who sent someone to attack, he was really at a loss.
After all, it is his own brother who has always been spoiled, how can Li Wei bear to push him out and ask for guilt?
Thinking of this, Li Wei rubbed his head and said tiredly, "Cheng, you don't have to meddle in this matter anymore, my brother will deal with it, and ask the people in Dongling to give me some peace!" ββIt's enough to have [Onihime] Jin Ling'er! β
Li Cheng whispered when he heard this, "But brother, that woman is not trustworthy!" - Last time, my brother asked her to assassinate Xie An and Li Shou, but as a result, what did the woman say about it...... According to the little brother, there must be a cat in it! β
"Okay, okay," Li Wei waved his hand impatiently, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned his head, frowned at Li Cheng, and said in a deep voice, "Cheng, Yu He's incident aside, why did you kill Zhang Ji, the waiter of the middle book, and Cai Jin, the servant of the door?" -- You lack experience, you don't know the affairs of the court, and my brother doesn't blame you, but even my brother doesn't dare to touch that kind of thing! β
"Medium...... Zhang Ji, the Chinese scholar, and Cai Jin, the servant of the door? Li Cheng's face changed slightly, and he said urgently, "Brother, those two people were not killed by the younger brother!" β
"You still have to quibble?" The crown prince Li Wei was furious when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Swear to tell each other, no matter what is big, my brother will keep you safe, but if you quibble again, don't blame my brother for being ruthless, let you come to Zongzheng Temple to try the taste of confinement!" β
Seeing his brother's suspicions, Li Cheng was even more anxious, shook his head again and again and said, "What the younger brother said is true, that night, the younger brother only asked the Dongling assassin to kill Yu He, which made up for the omissions in the elder brother's plan, as for the two of them, Zhang Ji, the servant of the Chinese book, and Cai Jin, the servant of the door, even if the younger brother is young and ignorant, he also knows what is very important in their hands, at a glance, most of them will even come forward with their father, so, how dare the younger brother do such a thing?" β
"......" Looking at the eagerness on his younger brother's face, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of Prince Li Wei, and he frowned and said, "Really? β
Seeing that his brother was still suspicious, Li Cheng raised his right hand and swore to the sky, "Even in front of the concubine, the younger brother still says this!" - Little brother, I definitely didn't kill Zhang Ji, the waiter of the middle book, and Cai Jin, the waiter of the door! β
The status of his biological mother Chen Guifei in the minds of his two brothers, the crown prince Li Wei is clear, seeing that his younger brother actually raised the biological mother of his two brothers and swore an oath, the prince Li Wei has already believed it in his heart.
"If you didn't kill you, who was that?" Standing up unconsciously, the crown prince Li Wei was thinking about it, while pacing back and forth in the confinement room, just thinking about it was full of cold sweat, and muttered with a shocked face, "In this way, my brother's premonition that day was not wrong, and there was indeed someone behind ...... behind."
Speaking of this, suddenly there was an announcement from outside the house.
"His Royal Highness Qiqi, Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department and the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, ask to see you!"
"Xie An?" The crown prince Li Wei is now dizzy by his own brother's shit, how can he have the leisure to wait to see Xie An, and when he heard the words, he waved his hand and said, "I don't see!" - Prince Ben is not in the mood today! β
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the guard Zhang Chang came from outside the house.
"Your Highness, that Xie An said that he has learned of the murderer of Lord Yuhe!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Li Wei and Li Cheng brothers in the house changed greatly, especially Li Cheng, who had always been sheltered under the wing of his brother Li Wei, and now that he learned that what he did might happen, his expression was panicked.
"Brother, he'...... He said that he learned about the murderer of Yu He, which ...... What to do? β
Looking at his younger brother's panicked expression, Prince Li Wei secretly shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "What are you panicking about?" Could it be that the elder brother will push you out and ask if you are guilty? As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the screen in the confinement chamber and whispered, "Get in!" - No matter what you hear, don't make a noise, your brother will take care of you! β
"Oh oh......" Li Cheng nodded again and again, put on his flirtatious robe, and hid behind the screen.
Seeing this, the crown prince Li Wei straightened his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice outside the house, "Zhang Chang, please Xie Shaoqing enter!" β
"Yes!"
With the door creaking open, Xie An strode into the house, and saw the crown prince Li Wei waiting with his hands behind his back, his eyes were stunned, and then he bowed his hands and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the prince looks good today!" β
Li Wei nodded and said lightly, "Xie Shaoqing's complexion is also good!" ββHow did Xie Shaoqing have time to visit His Royal Highness who was suffering from confinement today? β
"Well, naturally, it's for Lord Yuhe's case!"
"Oh?" Prince Li Wei raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "So, there has been progress in Yu He's case?" β
"A lot of progress!" As he spoke, Xie An raised a somewhat inexplicable smile on his face, arched his hand, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, regarding the assassination and murder of Lord Yu He, the lower official brought two pieces of news this time, one good news and one bad news, and I don't know which one His Highness wants to hear first?" β
"......" Looking at Xie An's eyebrows, Prince Li Wei had a bad premonition in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said, "Let's listen to the good news first!" β
Xie An smiled and arched his hand and said, "The good news is that the lower officials have deduced the murderer of Lord Yu He!" β
Hearing this, Prince Li Wei's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he barely showed a smile, nodded and said, "Xie Shaoqing is really an expert here!" ββIn just two days, the murderer has been deduced, and it is really my big Zhou Junjie! can resolve the conflict with Xie Shaoqing, this prince is a relative in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that this prince is still in prison at the moment, he will definitely have a few drinks with Xie Shaoqing......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award," Xie An smiled and continued, "There is also bad news, I don't know if His Highness wants to hear it?" β
"......" So far, in fact, the crown prince Li Wei has guessed a few points, but he is not good at interrupting Xie An's words, so as not to arouse Xie An's suspicion, after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Is there any worse news than that this prince is locked up in the confinement room of Zongzheng Temple?" Let's do it together! β
"Of course there is, for example, after His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Li Cheng, the fifth prince who is protected and spoiled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on weekdays, most of them will also go to the confinement room of this Zongzheng Temple to suffer from this confinement, maybe, after that, I will have to go to my Great Prison Temple for a while......" Speaking of this, Xie An put away the smile on his face and said word by word, "The lower officials have found out that the assassin who killed the imperial envoy Yu He Yu, the right envoy of the Imperial Historical Stage, is the mastermind behind it, is the younger brother of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Li Cheng, the fifth prince!" β
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of rapid breathing behind the screen, and this rapid breathing alarm Xie An, making Xie An subconsciously turn his head, and a few doubts flashed in his eyes.
Worst!
Prince Li Wei secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good.
