87. Defend your home and the country
"Did the killer you caught that day confess?" Liu Yue folded the letter and asked.
"It was the dead who couldn't ask anything, so they killed them, but all the people who assassinated that day were eunuchs."
Eunuch? Liu Yue was silent, eunuchs are only available in the palace, and the mastermind behind a series of events caused by the water and gold case turned out to be people in the palace, which had to make Liu Yue think deeply, who took such a big risk to assassinate a city lord and then arranged to assassinate a prince.
Just for tens of thousands of taels of gold? The amount of gold is indeed huge, and it can even buy half a city, but as a member of the royal family, as long as the rules and regulations are right, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, so why take such a big risk?
Unless the people behind the scenes wanted not only gold from the beginning, but also the lives of these people, what Liu Yue couldn't understand was why he killed King Zhou, a powerless prince, why did he kill him?
"The main thing right now is to find that batch of gold, and put the rest aside." Li Hongjing took a deep look at Liu Yue and said with a faint smile.
"Can there be news of gold before I leave?" Liu Yue asked.
Li Hongjing was very sure: "Yes, it should be available tomorrow at the latest." ”
Liu Yue nodded, as Li Hongjing said, the most important thing at the moment is the whereabouts of the gold, as long as the gold is found, the king of Zhou can be sentenced lightly, Li Hongjing will go around again, His Majesty will probably read the performance of the king of Zhou in the past and sentence Feng Feng and stay in the mansion to think, at least it will not endanger his life.
Liu Yue sighed, "Although I have known for a long time that the case of water and gold is not so simple on the surface, I am extremely afraid to think about it after all, and you will have to be more careful in Shangjing in the future." ”
"Qingqing don't have to worry, I have been fighting with these people openly and secretly for all these years, and I already know how to resolve it, and I won't easily do what they want."
"I know that you have always been cautious and resolute in doing things, but I will still be worried, after all, you are in the open and they are in the dark, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, only a thousand days to be a thief."
Li Hongjing said with a smile: "There are only a handful of people in the capital who can move me here, and they will not take action easily if they don't catch the handle of a move to kill me." ”
Liu Yue knew that at least in the past five years, no one would be able to shake the status of the Yuwang Mansion, and the Yuwang Mansion would not have any mistakes for the people in the shadows.
Especially if this water consumption case can be brought to an end, King Zhou does not have to die to resolve a catastrophe for Li Hongjing in the future, she doesn't have to watch him go to heaven to suffer criminal law, and she doesn't need to watch him be broken leg, thinking about this, Liu Yue is already very satisfied with this trip to Beijing.
After knowing that King Zhou and King Xian were the escort officials of the water consumption gold that day, Liu Yue thought of the clues in the previous life and knew that the king of Zhou was the prince who died in the water consumption gold case in the previous life, so he tried his best to help him, for the sake of Li Hongjing, of course, as long as the king of Zhou was ensured, Li Hongjing would not be in trouble in the prison.
"You can let me live in peace." Liu Yue sighed, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Li Hongjing, has the Yuwang Mansion ever thought about one day?" ”
So a day? Li Hongjing's eyes were as sharp as an eagle falcon in an instant, his handsome face turned cold, his smile froze, and he didn't reply for a long time.
How could he not know what Liu Yue said, but this was too early and too embarrassing for him, and he didn't know how to answer.
He has been taught by the old prince since he was a child, that is, the Yu Wangfu is the pillar of Nanyue, the sword of Nanyue, extremely sharp, and is bound to kill all the people who endanger the Nanyue court and the people of Nanyue, and the Yuwangfu will never betray Nanyue, but since his father died in the north ten years ago, his heart has changed unconsciously.
Now that Liu Yue insinuated to ask, the abnormal movement that had been suppressed in his heart sprouted again, and he was not sure whether it was good or bad, and he couldn't give a conclusion.
In the end, Li Hongjing still said lightly, "The world has been beneficial in the past, the country is like this, and the Yuwang Mansion is also the same." ”
Hearing Li Hongjing's words, the big stone in Liu Yue's heart finally fell to the ground, she understood that Li Hongjing, as the prince of Yuwangfu, the future King of Yu's consideration of the future, also understood the deep meaning of his words.
"The so-called tree is a big move, the palace of the king of Yu has been established in Nanyue for a hundred years, after five kings of Yu, hundreds of thousands of iron horses under his command, how can the emperor's side allow others to sleep soundly, you can say that I live in peace, but I don't want any future accidents when we are unprepared." Liu Yue clenched Li Hongjing's hand under him, her eyes firm.
Li Hongjing took away the sharpness in his eyes and said lightly: "With me, I won't let the Yuwang Mansion lose one day." The tone was light but resolute.
Liu Yue lowered her eyes and asked, "Will there be any changes in the northern border of South Vietnam in the past two years?" ”
When she was analyzing the memories of her previous life, she vaguely remembered that there was a small battle in the north two years later, when she had just married Li Hongjing, and he didn't go to that battle, but since she was reborn to the present, many things have changed in the dark, and she can't judge whether the future battle will be advanced or whether it won't happen at all.
Li Hongjing nodded lightly, Beicang has always been ready to move on the northern border of South Vietnam, and in recent years, he has wantonly harassed the border cities, and Beicang and South Vietnam are bound to have a tough battle to fight, as for when the horn of this battle will be sounded, it is still unknown.
"What would you do if war reignited in the North? What should be done in the palace of King Yu? Liu Yue asked.
Li Hongjing looked at her deeply, "Since I have been defending my family and defending the country, I have led the troops to the battle." Thinking in his heart, his face couldn't help but show a little embarrassment, "If you have married me by then, I will send you to a safe place before I go on the expedition, if I... You take care of yourself. ”
Liu Yue frowned unhappily, what does it mean to be sent to a safe place? Isn't it just about what might happen in the future, but shouldn't we think about how to prevent it? Why did you talk about leaving her alone?
"Do you think I'll be able to get out of it then?" Liu Yue sneered, and then said with some anger, "No matter whether Beicang will send troops to the north in the past two years, whether I married you at that time or not, you just need to remember that I will be where you Li Hongjing is, and you don't have to worry about my safety." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Li Hongjing's reaction, he withdrew his hand and suddenly got up and walked out of the room, taking the tray on the table with him when he left.
Watching Liu Yue leave in a bad mood, Li Hongjing was silent, alone like a stone in the vast deep sea, covered with cold coldness, and bloodthirsty stars could not help but rise in the deepest part of his eyes.
Liu Yue returned to her room with a tray and threw the things in her hand on the table, her current anger can burn down the whole house, if nothing else, just for Li Hongjing's last sentence, what does it mean? Think she's going to hold him back? And get yourself to safety?
Liu Yue couldn't help but sneer, is it him Li Hongjing's bad brain? Or is her ear forked? Doesn't he know what it means for her to marry into the Yu Palace? Half of her body has already entered the coffin, even if she has only been Li Hongjing's wife for one day, she can be killed by the royal people for this alone, how can the person who will be on the throne in the future easily let go of any opportunity to torture Li Hongjing? Knowing that she was his weakness, he still mercifully let her go? That's why she laughed at the innocence of Li Hongjing's words just now.
