Chapter 125: Follow Me
"Pass the order, investigate the matter thoroughly, catch the real culprit, but don't spread it to the outside world!"
Yan Shanggong said to a group of female officials.
"Yes, sir!"
The female officers replied together.
"Sister, leave this matter to me, I will definitely handle this matter!"
Li Shanggong said with a smile.
Li Shanggong has always been ruthless, Yan Shanggong is not unaware of this, but if this matter is not handed over to her, no one can really handle it. She thought for a while, looked at Li Shanggong and said, "It's okay, then this matter will be fully entrusted to you, but remember not to make any more branches!" ”
"Yes, sister, sister will handle this matter well!"
After Li Shanggong saluted Yan Shanggong, the corners of his mouth tilted, revealing a mysterious smile.
"Then my sister will take her leave first!"
Li Shanggong looked up at Yan Shanggong and said.
"Hmm!"
Yan Shanggong nodded, looking at her departing back, she was still relieved.
"Yuting!"
Yan Shanggong shouted.
"Yes, sir!"
Yuting stepped forward and said.
"Give me a good look at Li Shanggong, and report it to me as soon as there is something!"
Yan Shanggong said.
"Yes, sir!"
Yuting said.
"Let's go down......"
After Yan Shanggong finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the door, looking at the fine willow in the distance and fell into deep thought.
Li Shanggong naturally knew the cause and effect of this matter, so she was not in a hurry, but gave Zuo Chunqiu enough time to prepare.
"My lord, it's time for us to go, otherwise what if Zuo Chunqiu runs away?"
The old mother who led the way for Zuo Chunqiu urged Li Shanggong.
"Don't worry, he won't leave!"
Li Shanggong's evil smile made people really can't figure out what she is thinking.
"Adult, is there something unknown about the little one?"
The old mother asked.
"Say!"
Li Shanggong said.
"Why do we want to arrest Zuo Chunqiu? He doesn't have much to do with us......"
As soon as the old mother's words fell, Li Shanggong took the case and reprimanded sharply: "Fool, then Zuo Chunqiu is especially important to us!" ”
The old mother was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.
"Get up!"
Li Shanggong said helplessly.
"Thank you, sir!"
The old mother got up from the ground, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
"That Du Wanjun is going to be the first male concubine of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and Zuo Chunqiu is her old friend, we are here to invite, not to arrest!"
Li Shanggong's words were intriguing, and the evil smile on her face was revealed again.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
The old mother immediately patted her ass.
......
"Wanjun, it's me who is incompetent, it's me who is incompetent......"
Chunqiu sat down in his chair in a trance, his expression dazed, and his deep self-blame made him unable to forgive himself.
He had said that he would find him and take him away, but now he could only sit here weakly and hurt himself.
"No, I'm going to find him, yes, to him!"
He thought about it and stood up, ready to go to Du Wanjun.
The uncle grabbed Chunqiu's arm and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to find Wanjun!"
Chunqiu lowered his head and said sadly.
"You can't go anywhere!"
Uncle said.
"I have to go, I have to go to him!"
Chunqiu took a step forward, but was caught by the uncle and couldn't move.
"Let go of me!"
Chunqiu's mournful voice screamed hard.
The uncle's hand was still holding Chunqiu's arm, he didn't plan to let Chunqiu go out, because it was already full of wind and rain in the city, and if people knew that he had been to Jin Yulian, it would really be impossible to tell.
"Let go of me!"
The green tendons on Chunqiu's forehead flared up, and his anger was not because he was caught, but because he was blocking him from looking for Wanjun.
In fact, even he may not know what is wrong with him, he has never been so fanatical, but this time he told him in his heart that if he finds Wanjun, he must take him away.
"Chunqiu, you can't go out!"
The uncle persuaded him hard, hoping that he would not be so reckless.
"Please, let me go to him!"
Tears flowed down the cheeks. There is always a sense of crisis in his heart, he is afraid that he will never see Wanjun again, and he is even more afraid of losing him.
Suddenly, there was a loud laugh outside the door.
"Hahahaha......"
The uncle immediately became vigilant, and he pulled Chunqiu in a panic to let him hide.
"Zuo Chunqiu, where do you want to go?"
Just when the uncle was pulling Chunqiu around looking for a place to hide, Li Shanggong walked in laughing.
"She's the devil, let's go!"
The uncle was still holding Chunqiu's hand, wanting to leave here quickly.
"Liu Xiu?"
As soon as the uncle heard Li Shanggong call his name, he immediately became nervous and kept shrinking his head to his neck.
"Hahahaha, Liu Xiu, why aren't you dead yet?"
Li Shanggong laughed, walked over, looked at him and said.
"Thanks to the big ones, the little ones are still alive!"
Liu Xiu let go of Chunqiu's hand, glared at Li Shanggongdu's eyes and said.
"Yo, I really forgot, you were castrated by Grandpa Wei......"
Li Shanggong sneered, walked to the chair and sat down.
Liu Xiu knew that this Li Shanggong was a ruthless character, and she must have some purpose for coming here.
"What are you doing here?"
Liu Xiu asked.
"Yo, you have committed a capital crime by hiding a man in Taichang Temple, what's wrong? Shouldn't you be Lord Li's bones are not cold, so you have found a young and strong singer again, right? ”
"Phew, you can still speak, say, what are you doing here?"
Liu Xiu took a sip of Li Shanggong, his eyes as wide as copper bells.
"Mrs. Kim is dead......"
When Li Shanggong spoke, he moved his gaze to Spring and Autumn.
"Mrs. Kim is dead, what are you doing here?"
Liu Xiu asked.
As if he remembered something, Chunqiu looked at Liu Xiu's back and said, "Uncle, I've been there!" ”
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, both remorseful and uncomfortable. She had killed Mrs. Jin after all, and if it weren't for him, how could she have died?
"Don't be afraid, don't be intimidated by her lewd threats. What does it have to do with us when Mrs. Kim is dead......"
As soon as Liu Xiu's words fell, I heard Zuo Chunqiu muttering to himself: "It's me, it's me who hurt her!" ”
"Liu Xiu, did you hear it, he admitted it himself!"
Li Shanggong looked at Zuo Chunqiu's low and panicked expression and said with a smile: "Chunqiu, someone saw you coming out of Mrs. Jin's room, and soon after you left, she committed suicide!" ”
Li Shanggong had been observing Chunqiu's expression, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that something was not quite right with him. Not because he killed someone, but because he blamed himself for not being able to find Wanjun. Now coupled with the death of Madame Kim, his heart must be on the verge of collapse.
Of course, Mrs. Kim's death has nothing to do with him, but it's not entirely true. It was he who went to Madame Kim, stripped him of his clothes, and provoked her. In addition, Li Shanggong went to add oil and vinegar, so she couldn't think about it for a while, so she hanged herself on the beam.
"It's me, it's me who killed her!"
Chunqiu still lowered his head and kept blaming himself.
"Chunqiu, what's going on until you die?"
Liu Xiu turned around, looked at her and asked in the eyes.
"I, I, I was brought to Lady Kim by a maid of the court, and then I saw her come out of the house. I asked her where Wanjun was, but she wouldn't tell me. In a hurry, in a hurry......"
Spring and Autumn wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something hidden in the words.
"What's wrong? You say! ”
Liu Xiu saw that he was talking heavily, so he asked anxiously.
"I, I stripped off her clothes to get where Wanjun is from her mouth!"
Chunqiu said dejectedly. He knew that he had done something extremely stupid and irresponsible, but he was forced to do so. If he hadn't been in a hurry to find Wanjun, he wouldn't have been so, so reckless.
"Confused, you're so confused! Mrs. Kim regards chastity as more important than her own life, you, you are really confused......"
Liu Xiu shook his head helplessly, he didn't even know that he had done such a stupid thing.
"Zuo Chunqiu, do you know why I came to you now?"
Li Shanggong's eyes revealed an evil charm all the time, although this evil charm was not Wei Zhongxian's kind of shuddering, but it was enough to make people throb for a while after seeing it.
"However, I'm not here to arrest you, but to invite you to sit in the Shanggong Bureau!"
Li Shanggong never changed his face when he spoke, unless she was angry and angry, otherwise, you really wouldn't show off in front of others. However, her calmness is only under the premise that she is scathing, that is, she has no expression except for a snarky and cannibalistic appearance.
"Please? Stinky woman, what are your intentions? Don't think I don't know what bad medicine you have in your gourd! ”
Liu Xiu naturally knew Li Shanggong's character, after all, they also entered the palace at the same time. It's just that at that time, all the big girls who entered the palace went to the Shanggong Bureau, and the boys went to Taichang Temple.
"Yo, Liu Xiu, after so many years, you are still the same. Do you really know what medicine I have in my gourd? ”
Li Shanggong glanced at him and mocked.
"Hmph, what can you do if you know? What if you don't know? Li Shanggong shouldn't do things that don't benefit him, right? ”
Liu Xiu shouted at Li Shanggong.
"I don't have the same knowledge as you, Zuo Chunqiu, let me ask you if you want to go with me? Come with me, you may still be able to meet Du Wanjun, stay here, you don't even have a chance! ”
After speaking, she moved her gaze to Chunqiu's eyes, waiting for him to reply.
Chunqiu is still repentant for Madame Kim's death, it was he who killed Madame Kim, and insulted her before he died.
"Zuo Chunqiu, I gave you time to think about it, I'll tell you one last time, I'm here to invite you, if you want to go with me, leave now!"
Li Shanggong frowned, and the odds of winning in his heart began to diminish as time passed.
She has been calculating the time in her heart, as long as she shouts to stop at any time, then her trip will be in vain.
Liu Xiu also held his breath and waited for Chunqiu to answer. Of course, he knew that there must be fraud in this, and there was a lot of danger lurking here.
Time was passing little by little, and Li Shanggong's heart began to panic. Now it has far exceeded her expectations, and if he is unmoved, then she is really going to lose.
Just when she was about to give up, Chunqiu suddenly said, "I'll go with you!" ”
After Chunqiu's words were finished for a long time, Li Shanggong still couldn't believe his ears. She first glanced at Chunqiu, and then at Liu Xiu's expression, and she was sure that Chunqiu had indeed agreed to go with her.
"Very good, sure enough, the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!"
Li Shanggong laughed and walked out.
Chunqiu bowed to Liu Xiu and went out behind Li Shanggong.
Liu Xiu stood behind, silently chanting "can't go, can't go, can't go......"
But it can't change anything, even the fact that Zuo Chunqiu has the opportunity to meet Wanjun is enough for Chunqiu to abandon everything and follow him, not to mention that Li Shanggong does have the ability to let him see Wanjun.
