Chapter 53: Killing

The housekeeper wanted to cry without tears, important things, this kid didn't know to say it earlier, no way, he had to stand up and want to see if there were any passers-by in the vicinity, but after a glance, he remembered that this road is connected to the study, and there is no emergency on weekdays, so he is not allowed to pass through here.

In desperation, he could only crutches and move forward little by little, and finally a quarter of an hour later, when he had already seen the prince's study, the bastard also appeared.

There was also a person behind him, who was the house doctor.

"Butler, what are you running around when you're injured, and the little one has been looking for the doctor for a long time."

As soon as I saw this little guy, I blamed the housekeeper, and I was so angry that the housekeeper slapped him no matter where he was.

"You little bunny, have you forgotten what you're here for?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then remembered this, and jumped up immediately, "Oh, the little one is going to tell the prince." ”

The sound here was not small, and it had already alarmed the guards guarding outside, and strode over, "The study is heavy, why is it noisy?" ”

If it weren't for the housekeeper's sake, this kid would have been kicked out of the way.

Only then did the little guy know that he was afraid, and immediately told what had happened, and the guard got the news, turned around and left.

After a while, the king of Huainan appeared and strode away.

Li Jingzhi was brought in, and he shook his head and sighed frequently along the way, this Huainan King is too good at enjoying, look at how beautiful this pattern is, small bridges and flowing water, the rockery is unique in the west of the mountain, pavilions and pavilions are everywhere, and the whole image has walked into a garden.

Secluded and poetic.

"Alright, don't look at it, forget what we did here?"

Li Jingzhi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've already let people pass." ”

The two came to the flower hall together, the king of Huainan was already seated in the main seat, the two went to see each other, and the king of Huainan was not embarrassed, but only said the purpose of their trip.

Li Jingzhi came forward and said: "A few days ago, Xiaguan caught the bandit leader who robbed the disaster silver, according to that person's confession, it was instructed by the prince, and there are your correspondence, Xiaguan specially came to the door today, is to ask the prince to assist in the investigation, so as to give an explanation to the people of Huai'an, and give an explanation to the imperial court." ”

King Huainan sat there with a big face, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of disdain, and he didn't answer his question, but looked at Li Jingzhi and asked, "I heard that General Li has a cloud talisman on his body?" ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant, but he still replied cautiously, "Thanks to the emperor's trust, I will give you a cloud talisman." ”

"The cloud talisman that can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five states, my emperor's nephew actually gave it to you, this king has heard that when he was in the court, he was not close to you."

King Huainan opened his mouth calmly, Li Jingzhi didn't know what he meant.

Could it be that he already knows the emperor's whereabouts?

"Xia Guan is an official of the Celestial Empire and a courtier of the emperor."

I didn't say much about the rest of the words, and I always felt that this King of Huainan was a little strange.

His inexplicable eyes fell on him, which made Li Jingzhi very annoyed, he was a military general, and he didn't like these vain, and I heard that this prince also led soldiers, but only later when the emperor ascended the throne did he hand over the military power.

It's so annoying to talk about it and turn around like this.

Seeing that Li Jingzhi was defeated soon, Master Taifu immediately pulled him by the hand, stepped forward and said: "Lord Wang, there is still something important for the officials to come here, if the prince wants to understand the affairs of the court, he can wait for Yuan Chu to return to Beijing with his relatives." ”

"It's just that the 100,000 taels of gold is not a small amount for today's imperial court, and the disaster in Huai'an still needs to be treated, so please tell the prince where the 100,000 taels of gold are? Otherwise, please ask the prince to plead guilty and return to Beijing to be tried! ”

Taifu spoke, it was quite strong, he was a good friend of the first emperor, and he was the head of the royal academy of the previous dynasty.

There are countless students under his disciples, and if it weren't for the request of the emperor, he would not have entered the court as an official.

"This king received two secret reports this morning, one is the reply from the queen mother in the palace who asked for instructions to marry the Queen Mother of the West."

Taifu was stunned, but he didn't expect King Huainan to say this to the surface, he pursed his lips at the moment, and didn't ask him what the result was.

And the king of Huainan didn't seem to need them to ask, he directly exposed the matter and mentioned the second secret letter.

"Another secret letter said that the emperor is not in the court now."

"The emperor was infected with a cold a few days ago and is recuperating." That's what they've been saying since dawn.

However, it was impossible for King Huainan to believe it, staring at Li Jingzhi, who was already angry, and said, "How does this king feel that the emperor is very close to this king?" ”

The two of them were horrified in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

At this moment, someone outside told him that the king of Huainan asked him to come in, and the man walked to the king of Huainan and was bowing down to tell him in his ear, so he heard the king of Huainan say: "Let's talk about it here, Mrs. Li, they are not outsiders." ”

Speaking of this, King Huainan also deliberately glanced at the two of them.

When the guard heard this, he said loudly: "Tell the prince, the Queen Mother of the West is gone, and there is a young lady." ”

Mrs. Li and Li Jingzhi both put their minds at ease and were ready to leave after a few more shabby words.

The two of them didn't think that such a small piece of evidence could make King Huainan subdue.

"Send someone to find it, Niangniang is the side concubine that the Queen Mother gave to this king, you must find it, if someone stops it, you will be killed."

"Yes."

Li Jingzhi frowned when he heard this sentence, and he didn't know how capable the emperor's secret guards were.

Can you protect the Queen Mother of the West.

The result of their discussion at that time was that he and Taifu attracted the attention of King Huainan, kept him here, and let the emperor's secret guards rob people.

With Qiuchan by her side, it should be simpler.

But as soon as this sentence came out, how did you hear that this King of Huainan was still a lord who did not recognize his six relatives.

At this moment, news came from outside again, this time King Huainan hurriedly got up, looked at the two of them, and said: "If the two of you want to ask this king for their guilt, let the emperor's nephew come in person, you two are not qualified enough." ”

"Drop-off,"

That's not at all polite.

Master Taifu's face turned black directly, but thinking about this little one. wandered on the rivers and lakes, and later helped the emperor fight the lord of the world, he was really bold and dared to say anything.

Li Jingzhi doesn't care, he is a young general, and he is indeed a few grades behind the prince, and he is not angry at the moment.

"Looking at King Huainan like that, he must have suffered a big loss, let's hurry up and go back to meet the emperor!"

The two returned to their temporary accommodation, only to find that it was empty, and even the gatekeeper was gone.

was a little speechless at the moment, "Where did the emperor go?" ”

"Let's go, let's go back to Huai'an City first, I'm afraid that the emperor knows that the king of Huainan will definitely send someone to follow, so he left first." Master Taifu guessed that he immediately informed the dozens of people behind him to prepare to return to Huai'an.

Not long after they left the city, Li Jingzhi found that someone was following and said a word to Taifu, but Taifu said: "It's okay, just treat it as an escort for us, let everyone who went out come back, and we won't look for the emperor." ”

In this way, he rushed to Huai'an City.

They have a lot more to do.

It's just that what Li Jingzhi didn't expect was that as soon as the people arrived at the post station in Huai'an City, the post Cheng trotted over with a smile on his face.

personally stretched out his hand to help Master Taifu out of the carriage, and sent someone to lead Li Jingzhi's horse, and welcomed the two of them in with a smile and a smile all the way.

Li Jingzhi is a big grinning character, and when he glanced at Taifu, he felt strange.

They had been staying at the inn for a long time, but the lord had only shown up once, said a few kind words and left.

They knew that this man had heard that the plague had been robbed, and that he had lost his interest in entertaining them.

It's just that what is the purpose of such enthusiasm now?

The two were welcomed into the hall together, Yi Cheng ordered someone to prepare wine, what two adults have worked hard all the way, and the lower official thanked Yunyun for the people of Huai'an, and said a bunch of good things.

Finally stopped talking, Li Jingzhi was able to interject, squinted at him, and said: "Lord Yicheng has a lot of opportunities, how can you have time to meet us idlers?" ”

Yi Cheng naturally remembered that this was the word passed down by the people below when Li Jing first arrived in Huai'an.

There was some embarrassment at the moment, but that look was fleeting.

After his explanation, Taifu and Li Jingzhi knew what had happened.

"What do you say? 100,000 taels of gold? ”

Taifu was a little dumbfounded.

And Li Jingzhi stood up directly, didn't taste the tea, stared at a pair of copper bell eyes, and asked excitedly: "What about the gold?" Where? ”

Yi Cheng realized that these two people didn't know at all, as for how things came from?

said that it was sent by a carriage, and the seal on it was still there, and they were asked to hand it over to Li Jingzhi in person.

After Li Jingzhi saw it, the first thing he did was to activate the cloud talisman and surround the entire post station, and Taifu was the next post to go directly to all the officials and gentry below the city lord.

Invite them to the post station.

Begin to counsel over what the money will be used.

The two of them had already investigated the disaster, and knew that the silver would not be used at all.

It wasn't until two days later that the matter began to be carried out in an orderly manner, and the flooded villages were reported by the village chiefs layer by layer, and finally the silver taels were distributed according to the heads, and the officers and soldiers were sent everywhere to help rebuild their homes.

And Li Jingzhi went to the scene to supervise in person, but there were too many places, and he couldn't finish it.

Besides, Qiu Jue was walking around the house with Qiu Chan, and he overheard two news, one was the arrest of Xing Zhongtian, and the other was the arrival of Li Jingzhi.

When Qiu Jue heard this, he pulled Qiu Chan and walked back.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Mo Yi with an anxious face.

Then he left with them.

According to Mo Yi, someone helped him, so that he could enter the palace smoothly.

Qiu Jue had an idea in his heart, but he didn't have time to care about the others at that time, so he could only leave first.

When the little emperor saw her, he directly flattened his mouth, ran over to her, and hugged Qiu Jue directly.

Seeing this, the others hurriedly retreated into the distance.

This is a dense forest, Qiu Jue was also a little embarrassed by his actions, although she had been in love in her previous life, but, to put it mildly, she talked about spiritual love, and her boyfriend rarely even pulled her little hands, not to mention hugging, she was really not used to it.

It stands to reason that the emperor is a generation younger than her, and she can't think of that place, but she can feel that the little emperor is lying on her shoulder, twitching and sobbing as if crying, Qiu Jue's heart is unspeakably uncomfortable, twisted.

"Alright, alright, stop crying."
