Chapter 214: Old Acquaintances
Chu Lingyi returned to the prince's mansion and told Mu Li that the emperor agreed to Xu Tianhong's participation in the imperial examination, and Mu Li was extremely happy.
"Look, I know that the emperor is a reasonable person." Mu Li is sincerely happy for Xu Tianhong, now he can realize his dream.
"Yes, yes, the princess is right." Speaking of this, Chu Lingyi was a little displeased, after all, how could he praise other men if he was his own princess, even if it was the emperor.
Mu Li immediately noticed that Chu Lingyi was unhappy, "What, have you found out who wants to murder Xu Tianhong?" ”
"The clouds will be back in a moment."
This time, Liuyun deliberately went to the place where Xu Tianhong was injured to investigate, and after seeing it for a few days, he finally got clues, which was different from what Chu Lingyi thought at first, it was not done by someone in the court, but the housekeeper who escaped before.
The housekeeper happened to have come to the capital recently, and he met Xu Tianhong on the road, and Xu Tianhong didn't find him. The housekeeper blamed all his hatred on Chu Lingyi, since Xu Tianhong was the county magistrate arranged by Chu Lingyi on his deathbed, he naturally couldn't let him have a good time.
So he wanted to kill Xu Tianhong halfway, and hit Xu Tianhong on the back of the head with a wooden stick, and Xu Tianhong fainted. I didn't want to kill him, but I happened to meet a villager who was chopping wood coming down from the mountain, and the housekeeper had to beat Xu Tianhong with a stick.
The housekeeper thought that no one would find out about this, but who knew that he accidentally hung his clothes on a branch on the side, which made Liuyun find out.
Gu Cun has its own unique characteristics of making clothes, and the patterns on it are also unique.
"Lord Qiqi, my subordinates have found out, and he is the housekeeper of the former county magistrate of Gu Village."
"Is that him?" Chu Lingyi never thought that it would be him, just a housekeeper, and in Chu Lingyi's eyes, he was not dangerous at all. Now it has become a problem for Chu Lingyi.
"Lord Wang, people have found out that they are in the capital, do you want to implement the shop?"
"Catch, this kind of scum that plagued the people let him escape last time, and it will be his fate, and this time it will definitely not make him feel better." How could Chu Lingyi let go of such a bad guy as the housekeeper.
"Why did he come to the capital?" Mu Li is very strange, the butler's courage is really big.
"It's called self-defeating."
After the housekeeper learned that the owner of the village had died, he embezzled the owner's money and fled in all directions. I didn't make a friend who said that I could make a big deal in the capital, so I followed, and I accidentally found that Xu Tianhong had bad thoughts.
The butler was drinking with his friend in a tavern, and Liuyun was guarding outside, and once he came out, he would be captured, and this time he would not show mercy to his men.
"Lao He, I'm really sorry for you, I've never been to the capital in my life, it's really different." The butler raised his glass and drank with him.
"There is money to earn together, so you have to follow me, I will definitely not lose you." Lao He is also a charlatan, and he took a fancy to the money in the housekeeper's hand, so he lied to him that there was a big business in the capital.
"Come, don't say anything, it's all in the wine."
The two of them had a very happy chat.
After drinking, Lao He left first, and the housekeeper was still dreaming about the wine. He also really believed Lao He's words, saying that there was some big business waiting for him.
"Shopkeeper, check out."
"Here, four taels of silver in total, guest officer."
"Give, the more will be rewarded for you." The housekeeper was in a good mood and gave the shopkeeper a silver reward.
The housekeeper drank a lot of wine, stumbled when he walked, and almost fell when he came out of the restaurant. "his uncle, this broken threshold, what are you doing with such a high level, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will tear it down for you." The butler held on to the pillar at the door.
"I believe it." Liuyun led a few people to surround the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper opened his eyes, he turned out to be an old acquaintance. "You, what do you want to do, I'm here to drink, if you want to arrest me, you have to ask for evidence, this is the capital." It seems that the housekeeper is not drunk and confused, and he still knows that he is in the capital.
"Evidence? No evidence will arrest you? That's right, this is the capital. "The housekeeper's words are really funny, I thought that no one would dare to attack him in the capital." Take. ”
"Let go of me, let go of me." The butler struggled, but how could he struggle to get away.
The housekeeper was put in prison.
"Lord Wang, the person has been arrested, do you want to interrogate him?"
"Don't worry, lock him up for a few days first, let him be anxious. By the way, Xu Tianhong's side, you have to pay more attention, don't let irrelevant people get close, seeing that the imperial examination is coming, he has to review his homework with peace of mind. Chu Lingyi cares about Xu Tianhong very much, since the emperor promised to let Xu Tianhong take the exam, Xu Tianhong also cherishes this opportunity very much.
After the housekeeper was imprisoned, he had been waiting for Chu Lingyi to interrogate, and he had already thought about killing him and would not admit it. This is the capital, if the prisoner is killed, but he will be held responsible, and the housekeeper knows this very clearly.
Chu Lingyi would not be afraid of such a small person, he didn't pay attention to it at all. also specially instructed the cell boss to take care of the housekeeper more.
No, the butler kept begging the cell boss for water. "Warden, I'm dying of thirst, why don't you even give people saliva to drink, I haven't been convicted yet."
"What's the noise, give you water, you're arguing, be careful I treat you." The cell boss poured a soak of urine in the bowl and handed it to the butler.
The housekeeper smelled it, "What kind of smell is this, this is how you treat prisoners, this is the capital, be careful that I go out to sue you for the royal complaint." ”
"If you like to drink or not, you have to sue you to go now, but sue me to see." The cell boss didn't bother to take care of him, so he turned around and left.
The housekeeper threw the bowl directly on the ground, and he was also a character who had been in the limelight, how could he be reduced to drinking human urine. "Look at how I clean you up when I'm out."
The housekeeper thought that he was in Gu Village, and he really thought he was a character.
Mu Li has been busy helping Xu Tianhong collect exam materials these days, although Mu Li has a headache with reading, but she doesn't want to watch Xu Tianhong study with his head covered. She found a lot of books and listed some test points for Xu Tianhong that she thought she would inevitably take.
"Princess, can you do this?" The test questions of the imperial examination are different every year, and the green kite is a little unconvinced, how can she say that she is also a person who has not seen the imperial examination, how can she be pressed into the test questions.
"Oh, how do you know if you don't give it a try, don't forget that I'm Mu Li, and I'm your extremely smart princess." Mu Li was holding a brush in his mouth and holding one in his hand, as if he was everyone. "Quick, bring me that too."
At this moment, Mu Li wants to have a computer in it, as long as Mu Li doesn't know about everything, she will ask Du Niang, but at this time, she can only use her own cleverness.
"Princess, it's not too early, let's rest early, there are so many books, I can't finish reading them at all." The green kite looked at the large stack of books in front of her, and her head was dizzy.
"It's okay, I don't watch them all, I only pick the key points." Mu Li's previous exams only looked at the key points, and she didn't know if it was her luck or what, she could guess it every time.
