Chapter Seventy-Four: Something to Do Before Leaving

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of things that don't make sense.

It's not impossible for a housekeeper to open an inn.

In the circle of nobles in Chang'an City, there are many housekeepers who do a good job, and loyal servants have been cared for by the master for many years and have savings to run a business outside.

There are just two doubts.

First, if the Qinglou was opened by Li Qinglan, the third princess, then her housekeeper would not open a big inn opposite.

After all, the Qinglou merges with the wine, which can be regarded as a competition with the inn. How can a loyal servant compete with his master's house?

Therefore, either the Qinglou is not the property of the Three Princesses, or the inn is not the property of the housekeeper.

Second, if the inn is really opened by a housekeeper.

Why did the housekeeper's wife give it to the five princesses for nothing? is a business, who will not resell.

Giving it away for nothing will only show that the owner is in a hurry and is in a hurry to get rid of it, which can only prove that there are ghosts in it. And the facts have indeed proved that on the day the housekeeper lady sent them out of the inn, she asked the five princesses to escort their mother and daughter away, paying attention to the escort. This proves that there are still forces behind her that have not been completely removed.

Afterwards, the housekeeper's lady died, and the inn caught fire for no reason, which proves that there is still power behind it, so the case is not over at all to the housekeeper!

On the contrary, it made her more sure that the inn was opened by the three princesses, and the housekeeper was just taking the blame for others.

Zhong Chuyue thought of this, and her righteous and sharp eyes shot straight at Li Qinglan.

Li Qinglan panicked, but she still remained calm on her face.

Zhong Chuyue told her the doubts in her heart and asked her to explain them one by one.

Li Qinglan explained that she had long been out of harmony with the housekeeper. He usually does things contrary to the law, including the murder case in coastal counties, which he planned behind his back, with the purpose of trying to bring himself down. She even suspected that the butler was an eyeliner that someone else had inserted.

Well, after feeling that this reason was very feasible, Li Qinglan made a big deal about it.

Considering the matter of the inn, there are still many things that have not yet been investigated, Li Qinglan is the princess again, although the princess is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but since the founding of Daqi, which royal relatives and nobles have been imprisoned before being convicted.

Therefore, Zhong Chuyue decided to let Li Qinglan stay in the mansion obediently, and she would send someone to monitor her. If she leaves the mansion for half a step, it will be evidence of the crime, and she will immediately issue an arrest document, and it will be useless if the empress comes.

Li Qinglan didn't speak, and obediently returned to the mansion.

Zhong Chuyue considered that a thorough investigation of the inn would lead to a thorough investigation of the truth about the death of the housekeeper's lady, and the last person to contact her was the guard of the Five Emperor Daughters Li Qingqing, so Zhong Chuyue wanted to go to the Five Emperor Daughters' Mansion.

Here, Li Qingqing knew that she would come, so he had already instructed his subordinates to ask and answer whatever she wanted, and be on call.

And she herself went out fishing with Gongsun Fu in order to avoid suspicion.

Avoid suspicion, avoid the suspicion of the three princesses.

After all, the case was investigated by her, and the holy decree was also passed down by her, and for the three princesses, it was she who joined forces with the princess to harm her.

For outsiders, it was her Li Qingqing who was dealing with the three princesses.

And the princess's hands were clean from beginning to end.

Li Qingqing once again deeply realized the power of the princess.

A fish caught it and landed on the lawn on the shore, its black tail flicking vigorously and trying to break free from the hook.

Li Qingqing was in a good mood, threw away the fishing rod, caught the black fish with his bare hands, and threw it into the bamboo basket.

Gongsun Fu turned his head to look at her, turned around, and continued to fish calmly.

Haw, a small crucian carp was caught by Gongsun Fu, Gongsun Fu glanced at the small fish and threw it into the frame slowly.

Then he said endlessly, "Do cats like to eat fish?" ”

Li Qingqing didn't know why, "You want to have a cat?" ”

"Tingwei Zhong Chuyue, doesn't there be a roaring cat that claims to have raced the dog's nose?" As he spoke, he smiled at Li Qingqing, and his bright eyes became brighter and farther in the smile.

Li Qingqing glanced at him deeply, and reacted after a long time, "You mean to let me please her cat and win her over instead?" ”

Gongsun Fu smiled with relief and snapped his fingers at Tianyi, "Yes! ”

Li Qingqing shook her head and sighed, "Come on!" It's not like I haven't thought about this idea, but her cat is too edible, and she has a face that everyone owes it money for, and she can't eat enough to send a box of fish, and the cost is huge.

Moreover, Zhong Chuyue is notoriously upright and has a bad temper. He didn't listen to the political affairs of the court, and only did his own internal affairs.

Such a person is difficult to win over. ”

Of course, the main thing is that it's boring. If it's interesting, Li Qingqing doesn't recommend shaking this mountain.

The main thing is that it's too boring, it's said that she's still losing weight recently, and she's taller than her. Such a tall and thin woman stood in front of her, and she would not be in the background.

Li Qingqing snorted indignantly, and lay on the lawn and simply lazily played Hache.

Gongsun Fu was very interested in this Zhong Chuyue.

"She is a loyal party loyal to His Majesty, and she can be regarded as a neutral.

If you can win over such a person as a helper, Your Highness will not be untenable in the court.

What's more, among the neutral faction, the female prime minister is the most difficult to woo, does His Royal Highness want to challenge the high difficulty? ”

"Hahaha!" Li Qingqing couldn't help but want to laugh, "It's hard to pull a woman, but the daughter of a woman is my close friend."

The person she likes is under my command again, and Mr. thinks, who of these two people is better to win over? ”

"Do you really think so?" Gongsun Fu raised his eyebrows, the smile on his slender face was like Xu, the pear vortex was shallow, the stiff back dragged a straight diagonal line in the sun, and the hat was shining in the sun, so at a glance, it looked like an unfathomable hermit, but in fact, his tone and smile were unfathomable, and it was really similar.

However, Li Qingqing was unmoved and still insisted on his own ideas.

I thought that Gongsun Fu was going to preach again, but this time he was unexpectedly easy to talk to, saying whatever she wanted.

Is this casual, really casual, or fake casual?

Li Qingqing didn't understand, but Gongsun Fu didn't say anything more, got up and prepared to pack up the fishing nets.

"Calculate the time, Zhong Tingwei should also go, Your Highness, let's go back."

"Good!" Li Qingqing nodded, since she had Gongsun Fu, she didn't have to bother in many things, as long as she followed him.

It is rare to eat grilled fish for a while in the palace today, it is a few people sitting together, by the artificial lake in the palace, pretending to sit in the wild, and then skewering the fish with bamboo skewers and roasting them on a bonfire.

When the roast was in full swing, the servant sent a letter to him, saying that it was left by Prince Changming.

Li Qingqing thought that it was full of sour texts, telling the bits and pieces of the past, but he didn't expect to open the envelope and see that it was a gunpowder drawing, Li Qingqing frowned, and instantly felt that something bad had happened, so he immediately sent someone to inquire.

"Go and inquire, have you ever received such a letter in the Imperial Princess's Mansion."

His subordinates immediately came to report, saying that at the same time, Prince Changming also sent someone to send something to the palace of the crown princess, but it is unknown what it is.

Li Qingqing felt that most of them were also gunpowder drawings.

This Nangong Changming, who came to send drawings with such a swagger, didn't it make it clear that the mother emperor thought that she was going to usurp the throne according to firearms?

"Quick, get this letter to the Mother!"

His subordinates were instructed to do so.
