It was already three o'clock when Ji Yan left home, and this hour was when Ji Yan got up to wash up and go to court, he carefully planned to walk back to the room, no one knew it, but he thought too much, and was stopped by the housekeeper when he was about to arrive at the room.

"I knocked on the door of the young master for a long time just now, but no one answered, thinking that you were sleeping, and the little one didn't dare to disturb, it turned out that the young master went out"

Ji Yanli turned his head and looked at him suspiciously: "It's Uncle Zhang, you haven't slept so late!" I'm not! I ate a lot at night, and my stomach was not very comfortable in bed, and I just came back from Gong."

"Izuku?" Steward Zhang said suspiciously: "Why are you wearing such a formal dress?"

Steward Zhang's repeated questions made Ji Yanli a little impatient, but Steward Zhang watched Ji Yanli grow up, and he was also his elder, so he didn't have a seizure, so he had to pout and play Laipi: "Uncle Zhang, look at the hour It's very late now, what do you want to say and ask questions, if you can't sleep, go and serve my father, he is going to the court now, goodbye or not, I'll sleep in the room,"

This housekeeper Zhang is Ji Muyang's henchman, an old buddy in the family, and he came to find Ji Yanli, it must have been ordered by Ji Muyang, and it was not an ordinary thing.

It seems that the father knows something. Ji tired of centrifugal ways

Ji Yanli pretended to be impatient, put his hand on the door, and planned to push the door open, taking advantage of the fact that he didn't know anything, he immediately opened the door and went in, even if the gods came, he wouldn't go out.

Ideas are always good, but the smart housekeeper Zhang has already guessed Ji Yanli's careful thoughts.

"Young master, you are really smart, I was supposed to serve the lord to the court, but the lord suddenly ordered me to come to you"

"Looking for me?" Ji Yanli pretended to be puzzled and said, "It's so late, is there anything to do with me?" ”

Steward Zhang frowned and thought: "I don't know about this little one, and the master didn't say anything, but he looked very anxious."

"In a hurry?"

As soon as he heard Steward Zhang say these three words, Ji Yanli's legs and stomach were weak, his heart was broken, and he definitely wouldn't survive tonight.

Although Ji Yanli had a hundred reluctant to go, Steward Zhang came in person, and waited at the door for a long time, he couldn't say anything, so he had to follow him.

At this time, Ji Muyang had already put on his court clothes and was sitting in the study, although he was holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand, Ji Yanli could still see that his face was full of anger and fierceness, and he looked like he was going to eat someone.

No one dared to say the first word in the quiet of the room, and after a while, Steward Zhang was the first to break the deathly silence.

"Master, I've already brought my son, I'll go down first if there's nothing to do, if you have something, you can tell me at any time"

On the way from outside Ji Yanli's room to the study, his legs and stomach have always been weak, especially when Steward Zhang turned around to leave, he was almost unable to stand.

"Lao Tzu is the place where the cloud is blessed and the blessings are relied on, and the blessings and disasters are lurking. Who knows the extreme. It's not right. It is strange to be reinstated, and good is to be a demon. The mystery of people is ...... for a long time"

Ji Muyang read the Tao Te Ching aloud and resounded throughout the room, if Ji Yanli was a little bold, he would be scared to death, but his timidity was only for a while, and he forgot about it after a while.

As soon as Ji Muyang's words fell, Ji Yanli applauded and exclaimed: "My father is worthy of reading poetry and books since he was a child, and his knowledge is really profound, and he can say a poem casually, his son is really ashamed!" ”

Ji Muyang put down the Tao Te Ching and looked at Ji Muyang and scolded loudly: "Fart, that's what Lao Tzu wrote"

Ji Yanli replied in surprise: "I know you wrote it, and it's boring for you to repeat it!" ”

Seeing Ji Yanli's clumsy appearance, Ji Muyang almost laughed, but he had to hold back, after all, this matter was related to the lives of the whole family, and he had to ask clearly.

Ji Muyang took out a letter from the gap in the Tao Te Ching and handed it to Ji Yanli, Ji Yanli didn't look at it and asked suspiciously: "Father, if you have anything, just say it directly, why are you writing to me, do you want to say anything terrible to your son?" ”

Looking at Ji Yanli's cynical appearance, the anger in Ji Muyang's heart was originally extinguished by a few jokes from him, but now it is burning again.

He slapped the table and roared: "Since I was a child, your mother and I have taught you to be cautious in your words and deeds, but what about you, you are going around to cause trouble for me like a gentleman all day long, you are seventeen years old, you are an adult, can you think twice about what you will do in the future, this time you are not in trouble, you are still talking nonsense here, you look at what is written on it!" ”

After speaking, Ji Muyang turned around and stopped looking at him, if it was in the past, Ji Yanli would have been able to beat him up, but this time it was different from the past, it seemed that this time it was uncontrollable, and it was not in his expectations.

The letter seemed to have written something very important, and he was already sweating profusely before Ji Yanli could read it.

Although the letter is only a few lines, these lines are like a sharp knife straight into Ji Yili's heart.

"You and I have no grudges in the past and no enmity in the near future, but you followed Caiyi to the Tianwang Temple and killed Li Jiancheng and threw stones into the wilderness, you kill my lord alone, I will kill your whole family, wait for me to come tomorrow night, remember"

"Who wrote this letter, why didn't you even leave a name, how do I know who you are!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Muyang couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, pulled out his saber, and aimed it at Ji Yanli's neck.

"Son, how did I give birth to such a thing as you, I don't know that loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom only know how to cause trouble for the family, and cause such a monstrous disaster, tomorrow night is the death of the whole family, but you are still laughing here, I don't think I need to wait for the killer to come, I will kill you now, and apologize to the former prince!"

Ji Muyang's saber was just about to stab into Ji Yanli's neck, when he heard a voice outside the door that seemed to be very urgent.

"Don't hurt my son's life!"

This voice was Ji Wang's family, she hurried to protect Ji Yanli in front of Ji Yanli and yelled at Ji Muyang: "Master, you dissipate your anger, there must be some misunderstanding in this, even if Li'er really did something, please come to me and don't hurt my son."

Ji Muyang saw that the Ji Wang family was still protecting Ji Yanli, and he said angrily: "You gave birth to a good son to my Ji family!" In the past, you protected him, and I didn't care about you, because he caused small trouble, but now if you don't care, our whole family will die! ”

Ji Wangshi looked at Ji Yanli with a look of fear: "What's going on!" Tell your mother, and your mother will give you an idea."

Ji Yanli was so scared that he couldn't say a whole sentence, he trembled and pointed to the letter he threw away on the ground, Ji Wang's family looked very calm after reading it, but he was not as angry as Ji Muyang.

Ji Wangshi looked at Ji Yanli and said carefully: "You tell me the truth about this matter, when did you follow Caiyi, when did you go to the Tianwang Temple, and what happened after you went to the Tianwang Temple!" ”

For Ji Yanli, her mother Ji Wang is simply a god-like existence, she can always turn the tide when Ji Yanli feels that she is about to die and has no place to be buried, so Ji Yanli trusts Ji Wang very much, and he is very close to his mother, and he will tell her anything, and this time is no exception.

When he told everything that happened yesterday until midnight, Ji Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"If I'm not wrong, Li'er should have been tricked and harmed"

"Pit me?" Ji Yanli looked at his mother suspiciously: "No! I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary! ”

Ji Wang's family went back and forth in the room like a puppet and analyzed it from beginning to end, as if it was really like that.

"The person who gave you the silver said that he was a dart master, and his dart was robbed and asked you to take it in the Temple of the Heavenly King, why should you take it, he can't go himself? Maybe he was the murderer of Li Jiancheng."

"But I obviously saw Li Jiancheng in the Tianwang Temple, and I still talked to him!"

Hearing Ji Yanli's doubts, Ji Wang walked to the place where the candles were placed in the study, put a candle in his hand, blew out the other candles, and walked back to Ji Yanli and put the candle in his hand in front of him.

"If I don't speak, do you know who I am?"

Ji Yanli suddenly realized.

Ji Wangfu lit the candle in the study: "He said that he is Li Jiancheng, so have you seen what Li Jiancheng looks like?" ”

"How can Li'er see it, don't mention him, I've only seen Li Jiancheng once, I remember that it was when I was in Xuanwu Gate"

When the three words Xuanwumen blurted out, Ji Muyang and Ji Wang glanced at each other, and they probably knew what was going on.

"Since that's the case, what's in the bucket, when was it taken away, and how did the killer kill Li Jiancheng?" Ji Yan was full of doubts and muttered to himself.

Ji Wangshi looked at Ji Yanli, who was in a depressed mood, and comforted: "It's okay, things are already like this, where can it be bad, it's a big deal for us to face it together, as parents, we can't give you the ability to distinguish the true from the false, it's our fault, but in the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not be nonsense, after all, your parents can't guard you by your side for a lifetime."

Ji Wang's family is a strong person, he didn't look very weak when Ji Muyang was holding a knife to kill Ji Yanli, because she knew that only she could save Ji Yanli, and after Ji Yanli told the truth of the matter, she shed tears and showed her weakness in front of her husband and son, because she knew that Ji Muyang would not kill Ji Yanli, and Ji Yanli would rely on herself more.

She is indeed a very smart woman.

The air has mixed flavors, and everyone has unspeakable bitterness.

When the whole family was still in grief, there was a sudden commotion in their ears, and there were many bustling people talking about something, and this voice was not far away and not close to the gate of Ji Mansion.

Ji Muyang came back to his senses and sorted out his appearance: "It's not too early, I should go to court, when I come back, I will bring two hundred thousand cow guards to guard the door, I don't believe that the killer dares to come!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay," after a pause, Ji Wangshi said suspiciously: "It's not right!" Today is not the day of the last dynasty! ”

"I forgot to tell you, today is indeed not the day of the court, it is the day of His Majesty's draft, and as the head of the Ministry of Rites, I should have gone early, otherwise I would have fallen into the hands of others."

"Draft! Isn't it fun" Ji Yanli seemed very interested: "What kind of woman does the emperor choose in the general draft!" ”

Ji Muyang glanced at Ji Yanli: "Your Majesty sent eunuchs to the public secretary and the beauties selected by the common people's homes are generally virtuous and talented, and there are generally people who have committed serious crimes, and their family members and children will be sent to the Yeting Palace as slaves and maids, and then there are some ministers who are obsessed with their careers in order to be promoted, and they will also dedicate their talented daughters into the palace in order to be promoted. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Ji Yan leaving his legs, like a frightened dog, running out of Ji's mansion and going straight to Gao's house in a panic, because he knew that Caiyi would be the emperor's woman later.
