Murong Shi entered the Yuguo Mansion, and the two things that the Duke of Yuguo and Mrs. Li were furious about, naturally did not hide from Yang Qiqi.

Zhuzhi got the news and immediately gave it all back to Yang Qiqi.

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Seventh and the Guogong Mansion know about the matter of the Qinling Gold Mine, and I don't know how they will deal with it. The left and right seven princes came out not long after entering the door. ”

Yang Qiqi smiled faintly, and said in a manly voice: "Do you think that His Royal Highness the Seventh will be involved in this matter?" A shrewd person like him just went to the Yuguo Mansion to clear up his involvement, and he would not let Mrs. Li implicate him because of this matter! ”

Zhu Zhi sighed, shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh is really an unreliable person, if there is a good thing, he will stand forward, and if there is something bad, there will be no one!" ”

Yang Qiqi smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "It's not a good thing, the Seven Princes will all stand forward." He is a person who has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but he is first-class. was said that something bad was coming, and he wanted to hide. But if there is anything difficult to say or ambiguous, His Highness the Seventh will hide out first. He's not unreliable, but he can't be relied on at all! ”

Zhuzhi nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "What the girl said is really accurate!" If you don't say it, the slave hasn't felt it yet. That's what you say! ”

Of course, what Yang Qiqi said was accurate, and he didn't say anything else. In his previous life, Murong Shi did not appear for such an earth-shattering event as leading troops to force the palace to rebel, but let Yang Yuyan and Zhang Zongsi come forward to do it. Yang Qiqi also felt that it was amazing, Yang Yuyan and Zhang Zongsi were willing to work so hard for him.

"Anyone like Qinling Gold Mine, the fire is burning in front of me, I'm afraid that the Seventh Prince is very angry in his heart. However, a hypocritical and righteous person like him, even if he is angry, it is difficult to show it. But no matter what, as long as Li Yuanzhong confesses. Whether it's the Yuguo Mansion or the Seven Princes, don't even think about retreating! ”

Zhu Zhi asked Yang Qiqi in a slightly surprised whisper: "Girl, isn't this private gold mine a big crime of beheading and stealing the family?" If the Yuguo Mansion is explained, then what are you going to do? ”

Yang Qiqi smiled and said unhurriedly: "You are really a fool with solid eyes!" Could it be that you really think that the Yuguo Guild is sitting still? With Yang Fu here, the Yuguo Mansion will not be guilty, it's just a big deal to provoke a commotion. ”

Zhuzhi was surprised: "Can this black become white?" ”

Yang Qiqi seemed to be smiling, and said slowly: "What's wrong with this!" You have to watch it and see how Yu Guogong said that the black is white and the white is black. ”

About two days later, the guards sent by Emperor Yonghui to Qinling took Li Yuanzhong and Yan and Cao into Luoyang.

Early in the morning of the third day, Emperor Yonghui was furious in the court, denouncing the powerful people in the court for daring to defy the royal law and open gold mines privately. But Emperor Yonghui didn't say who it was in the palace at all, but only scolded these kings and grandsons for bending the law for personal gain, and didn't say anything other than ignoring people's lives, and immediately let people retreat from the court.

When Yang Fu and Murong Shi heard Emperor Yonghui's words, they were as if they were all right, and they were extremely indifferent.

However, when Li Guifei heard this, she called Murong Shi extremely nervously to ask.

"Your father didn't say anything in the court, did he know it in his heart? What are we going to do? You and I must not expose this matter. When Li Guifei encountered such a thing, the first thing she thought of was to kill everyone in the know. When she looked at Murong who was extremely calm, she asked anxiously, "What do you think!" That Li Yuanzhong has been dug up by the emperor's people, as well as the official Cao Yanming. Do you know that Yan Ming is a protégé of the Marquis of Dingyuan! And that Thangon! ”

Murong Shi felt bored in his heart, Concubine Li Guifei had been in the palace for a long time, and she would only have the methods of those women fighting for power. When encountering such a thing, it is inevitable that I will panic first.

He coughed lightly, despising Li Guifei in his heart, but with a gentle smile on his face, he comforted Li Guifei and said, "Mother, don't worry." Yu Guogong knows this matter best, as long as you don't ask anything, don't care about anything. Just leave this matter to Yu Guogong! No matter how this matter is calculated, it can't be related to us. ”

Concubine Li will be skeptical, but if she doesn't believe Murong now, she obviously has no better way. had to follow what Murong Zhao said, when she didn't know what to do, she lived her life as usual.

The same is true of the Duke of Yuguo, the emperor does not ask him for questions, no one asks him for questions, he goes to his yamen and his court as usual.

As a result, Mrs. Li asked Li Kangping's family to find someone to go to the post house at night to assassinate Chang Gon.

However, at this time, the people that Yang Qiqi had arranged earlier to protect Chang Gon came in handy. Just as the Assassins entered the door and nearly stabbed Chang Gon to death with a sword, the men broke through the window. not only saved Chang Gon safe and sound, but also showed his identity as the Thirteen Princes' Mansion.

Although Chang Gon was very strange, the Thirteen Princes had already left Beijing, how could they send someone to save him. After thinking about it, I thought about it again, and I thought of those princes' mansions, and there was also a kind of stewards and staff who could be the masters of the house, so I also received the love of the thirteen princes.

Chang Gon's assassination undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of the illegal gold mine.

When Murong Shi learned of this, he was extremely vigilant, and immediately ordered Gao Ling to investigate thoroughly to see who did it to Chang Gon and why. Although he couldn't say it well for a while, he secretly felt in his heart that it was mostly Mrs. Li's hand. Thinking of this, Murong Shi immediately asked people to find an opportunity to tactfully remind Yu Guogong, asking him to be optimistic about Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li didn't know that she had sent someone to assassinate Chang Gon. Not only did he fail to extinguish Chang Gon, but he also added another layer of trouble to himself and the Yuguo Mansion.

On the evening of the second day of Chang Gon's assassination, the Duke of Yu was summoned to the palace by Emperor Yonghui alone. At that time, Li Yuanzhong was also detained in the palace and confronted Yu Guogong in person.

Yang Fu listened unhurriedly to Li Yuanzhong's words, then smiled slowly, and said to Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, Weichen and the insiders are wronged. If Wechen is guilty, it is a crime that is not strictly governed, and Wechen can admit it. But there is such a thing as letting people open gold mines privately, and Weichen dares to swear to the sky, which has never happened. ”

Emperor Yonghui slowly spoke: "Zhizheng, this person is a servant of your family. He also took the lead in digging the gold mines. You said that it had nothing to do with the Yuguo Mansion, but he kept saying that he had won the master's life. ”

Yang Fu knelt on the ground, his back straight, and said calmly and calmly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen didn't know about him going to dig for gold, and he hadn't heard of it. But please ask again, did he ever tell Weichen about the mining operation? ”

Emperor Yonghui raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yuanzhong, but did not make a sound.

Li Yuanzhong was only thinking about his own and his family's lives at this time, where could he take care of the Yuguo Mansion, "Yes, the slave didn't talk to the Duke of the Kingdom, because this matter is ......" Li Yuanzhong originally planned to tell everything that Mrs. Li asked him to go.

"Your Majesty! You also heard it, he really didn't tell Weichen. Weichen has been an official for many years, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do. Once the illegal gold mining is discovered, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the family! Why did Weichen ruin the reputation of the Yuguo Mansion for this! You know what to do! ”

"If you don't have your backing, how can such a small steward get through the gates of all parties. Even after being discovered by Chang Gon, he colluded with the local official Cao, wanting to cover the sky with one hand and suppress this matter? When Emperor Yonghui said this, his smile was full of suspicion, "Besides, that Yan official Cao has some relationship with your Yue family's Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

Although Yang Fu was beating a drum in his heart, his face was still very flat, with a little bitterness, and he also smiled reluctantly, and said, "Your Majesty, the seventh official of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Metropolitan Province." In order to have a way to enter Beijing and enter the court, those local officials could not talk to us, so they naturally listened to the words of the officials in charge of the government. I'm afraid that this Li Yuanzhong is swaggering and deceiving everywhere in the name of the Yuguo Mansion, and he is a fake tiger. Only then did anyone really believe him. Now that his conspiracy has been exposed, he is afraid that he will be charged with opening a mine without permission, and his family will be exterminated. That's why it is said that it was instructed by Weichen and insiders. But Your Majesty, the Yuguo Mansion has been rich for many years, how could Weichen be hot-headed and do such a thing? ”

Emperor Yonghui nodded slowly, and asked Yang Fu again: "Then this Li Yuanzhong has been taken into prison by me, and who is so capable that he dares to assassinate the imperial court officials?" ”

Yang Fumu shook his head and said in a daze: "Weichen really doesn't know. ”

Emperor Yonghui pointed at Li Yuanzhong and asked Yang Fudao: "Is it possible that a housekeeper in this small land in your mansion has reached this level with his hands and eyes?" If he really has such a ability to turn around the tricks of our people, then what else are you, the prince of the country, and I, the emperor, doing? ”

Yang Fu's heart trembled, but he was afraid that this time it would not be so easy to tide over the difficulties. He immediately kowtowed, fell to the ground deadly, and pleaded aggrievedly: "The emperor is a clear guide! What is he capable of? If he has the ability, how can he let Your Majesty's forbidden army escort back. ”

As soon as Li Yuanzhong heard that Yang Fu was going to apologize for himself, where could he sit still, he immediately risked his life and confessed to Emperor Yonghui: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to deceive the emperor at all. This gold mine was dug by Mrs. Li for the grass people. In addition to Mrs. Li, there are also His Royal Highness the Seventh and the Imperial Concubine Niangniang who support the grass people. Yu Guogong really didn't know about this. That's because Mrs. Li saw that she had turned over 100,000 taels of silver from her father-in-law, and she was afraid that Duke Yu would stop her, so she didn't dare to tell Grandpa Guo at all! But what the grass people say is true! ”

Yang Fu's heart was nervous, and his eyelids jumped unconsciously. He turned his head and angrily rebuked Li Yuanzhong: "Bold minion! Who are you bribed, not only did you come to wronged the Yuguo Mansion, but you even dared to slander the Seven Princes and the Imperial Concubine! ”
