Chapter 53: Hexi (6)
Early the next morning, Li Mingsheng and others went to the mansion of Li Tao, the prefect of Hexi.
Li Yu, who had long known that Li Mingsheng was coming, ordered his subordinates to prepare breakfast early in the morning for Li Mingsheng and others.
"I don't know what is the important matter for the emperor to come to Hexi in person?" Seeing that Li Mingsheng stared at him without speaking, Li Tao hurriedly opened his mouth to break the deadlock.
Mo Hong on the side chuckled and said, "Lord Li is really sitting at home, and disaster comes from the sky." Yesterday, as soon as the emperor arrived in Hexi, he was assassinated. Look, how can this be? ”
"Oh? The emperor was assassinated? Why didn't Wechen know? Li Tao said solemnly.
"This is not about Lord Li, but this assassin keeps saying that Lord Li sent him to assassinate him, what do you think?" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Li Yi was shocked and hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor is a good man, Weichen has always been loyal to the emperor, and he will never dare to deceive the emperor, let alone send someone to assassinate the emperor!" ”
"Whether what Master Li said is true or false needs further investigation. It's just that you are a suspect at the moment, so naturally you can't stay here. Li Mingyue added.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't imprison Weichen. Wechen still has to work, if he goes to prison, how can Wechen explain to the people. Li Tao pleaded.
Li Mingsheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, coughed lightly: "Well, since that's the case, you can stay in your mansion for the time being!" Ah Chang, go and send some guards to guard, without my permission, he is not allowed to leave the mansion for half a step! ”
"Yes, the minion will do it." Ni Chang took the order and withdrew.
"Master Li, I hope what you said is true, and I don't want to let you be wronged for no reason." Li Mingsheng said coldly.
Li Yi nodded and got up from the ground tremblingly.
Not far away, a servant girl witnessed all this and quietly retreated through the back door. Who knew that as soon as he went out, he was blocked by Jiang Yan and Li Mingyue.
"Yo, where do you want to go?" Jiang Yan looked at the servant girl's dodgy eyes and couldn't help but ask.
The maidservant trembled and said, "Slave maid...... Didn't go anywhere, it's just ...... It's to buy something you need for the mansion. ”
"What do you need to buy and eavesdrop on your family? And acting so sneaky? Li Mingyue raised her tone.
"Two girls, let the slave and maid go, the slave and maid don't know anything." The maidservant fell to her knees suddenly.
Jiang Yan smiled: "It's not impossible to let you go, but you have to tell me, who asked you to inquire about the news here, and who did you report to?" ”
"This ......," the maid hesitated.
"Say it quickly, or I'll take you to prison!" Li Mingyue threatened.
The maidservant closed her eyes and said truthfully, "Yes...... Chunyulou is the best-looking girl, to ...... asked the slave to tell her about the current situation of our adults, and she gave the slave and maid some money. The slave couldn't stand such a big temptation, so she agreed. ”
"The girl from the Spring Rain Building? Sister-in-law, isn't this Spring Rain Building just ......" Li Mingyue suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan coughed to hide her embarrassment: "Okay, we will go to Chunyu Tower in person." Now, when you go back to the house, you are not allowed to go anywhere! ”
"But the slave's money ......," the maid whispered.
"If you want to go to Chunyu Tower to get money, leave your life behind!" Li Mingyue looked at the maid with a smile.
The maidservant was startled and stopped talking.
"Yue'er, you will go back with Master Mo to check it later. Your brother and I went to Chunyu Tower to inquire about the situation. Jiang Yan said to Li Mingyue.
