269 key people
Liuli was moved by this sudden discovery, such speculation is reasonable, but what about his house deeds?
After a big turn, I finally got back to the question. In her study that day, he said that none of this was in his hands, was it true or a lie? If it's true, then in whose hands?
She suddenly felt that she really needed someone who understood to tell her all this. She didn't need the title deeds, she needed to know their whereabouts, to determine the truth of his words, and then to decide how she was going to continue with him!
However, can she ask Qi Yunhao directly? Lily of the valley's face changed when she heard her ask about Mrs. Ye, it can be seen that it is rare for someone to mention it in front of him on weekdays. She took the liberty to ask him, and he said that it was better not to say it or second, so that he could directly ask about these things that seemed to have nothing to do with her, was it really good?
"Grandma, what are you thinking?"
Rui'er waited by the side for a long time, and when she saw her in a trance, she couldn't help but ask.
She propped her forehead and asked, "Is there really no one in the mansion who has seen Mrs. Ye?" ”
Rui'er thought for a while and said, "If grandma is really entangled in this problem, why don't you go to Lao Qifu to take a look?" ”
"Old Prayer Mansion?" Ruri looked up.
Rui'er nodded: "Lao Qifu is naturally where the Dingbei Wangfu lived before it moved over. It is the ancestral home of the prayer house, and the ancestral hall is also located there, and there are still some people guarding it there. ”
Liuli was immediately enlightened, and suddenly realized! Rui'er reminded her right, the old prayer mansion is the prayer mansion where she stayed with He Yuhua in her last life, I remember that there are a lot of old people in the mansion, and now none of those people have appeared in the palace, so they must stay there. And even if the insiders of the year are gone, the people who guard the ancestral hall are all old people, and they will definitely know!
But she's faking illness right now. It's only been lying down for half a month, but it's not so easy to go out injured.
Rui'er said, "Let Kikyo go." ”
Liuli thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No." The bellflower is too eye-catching. You let the bellflower take the time to go to the Zhuangzi and let Lai Wu ask. No matter what you ask Mrs. Ye about. Come and tell me. Tell him not to reveal me again. ”
Rui'er nodded: "I'll go tell him." ”
The affairs of Kikyo and Lai Wu here are arranged by Rui'er. In fact, she didn't know what she could find, after all, it was very old, and it was in the mouth of a descendant, even if it was handed down, it was probably out of taste.
But it's better than not asking and not understanding the history of the Qi family, she is in front of Qi Yunhao. You'll always be like an outsider. If she didn't know about his experience, she wouldn't know his heart - especially after the little concubine knew that their father and son had formed a hatred for so many years, she wanted to know what he had experienced over the years, and why he treated his father and stepmother like this. Of course, I want to know more. Why did he suddenly say the phrase "a child without a mother is the most unfortunate"?
In the past two days, she got out of bed, and occasionally walked around under the porch, but after more than half a month, the imperial doctor also went around the house from time to time. Or the one who received her money in the Zhongcui Palace. Let him run back and forth so many times, he must always put on some effect, otherwise how can he explain it to the queen?
The weather has also quietly cooled down in the days when she pretended to be sick, and she can see a white layer of frost under the locust tree in the morning.
According to Rui'er, this season is the busy time for the autumn harvest. Lai Wu should be busy letting the farmers harvest the crops, and busy sowing the next year's vegetable seeds in the field. I shouldn't have time to go to Lao Qifu.
She wrapped her cloak and fought against her opponent under the locust tree, and Rui'er hurriedly ran over: "Grandma! There is your letter! ”
Liuli thought it was Uncle Xu, since the last time Uncle Xu wrote that someone had gone to her grandfather's house to rummage through things, she had also replied to a letter, but she never heard back from him.
Take a look at it, it's actually Ji Xiaoquan!
Ji Xiaoquan has been gone for nearly two months, and finally there is news!
She opened the letter almost tremblingly, was about to read it, closed it again and asked Rui'er, "Is he okay?" "If he has a letter to her, he must also have a letter to Rui'er. He didn't know how much heart he had to bear when he went, how could she not care about her mood at all?
Rui'er's eyes moistened, nodded and smiled: "Okay!" He said it was good! Grandma, read the letter! ”
Liuli looked down again, it turned out that in the past two months, he pretended to be a trader in the south, rented a house to live in the south of the city, and had already mastered important clues, but the evidence of He Lili and the Nie siblings' conspiracy to embezzle bribes was still not found, because all the people and evidence in the know were taken away. The meaning of his letter is to ask whether to continue the inquiry or return to his home?
In the end, it was still a step too late. Ruri closed the letter, her brow furrowed.
"How did he get this letter in?"
"There's a little Hanako who came in at the door." Ruier said.
Liuli nodded, thought about it, walked into the study and wrote a few lines by handwriting, put it in the envelope and handed it to her, "Look at the little Hanako is still there, give him some money to bring back." ”
Rui'er quickly wiped her eyes and went out.
It's useless to look any further, so it's better to ask him what the clues are.
The south of the city is only a dozen miles away, and he will receive the letter today at the latest, and he will be back tomorrow.
The next day, Liuli got up early, Rui'er came in and pushed the window, she couldn't hide her joy from the corner of her eyes, and said, "Ji Xiaoquan came back last night and asked grandma when she would be able to see her." ”
She was not on duty tonight, so she lived in the small house that Liuli rewarded them, just outside the east wall on Camel Street, since Ji Xiaoquan came back last night, she naturally went home. Liuli glanced at her, raised her lips and said, "Let him have breakfast." He said, "I let him go out for so long, do you blame me?" ”
Rui'er blushed and said, "How can it? If the slave does not do things for the master, then why should he occupy this position? ”
Ruri smiled and asked her to dress herself.
After breakfast, Ji Xiaoquan came with Rui'er. I haven't seen it for two months, and I'm dark and thin, but my eyes are still bright. Seeing Ye Tong and Liu Wei at the door, he naturally showed some surprise, but as soon as Rui'er whispered to him, he nodded knowingly.
Liuli gave him a seat, and then let Yuegui serve tea.
Ji Xiaoquan thanked him, sat down and went straight to the point.
"Grandma's paper explained several places, the small ones have all walked through, just as I told my grandmother in the letter yesterday, basically there is no conclusive evidence. But after checking along the way, I also found one thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Ruri is waiting for this.
"It's about the people who collect this evidence." Ji Xiaoquan paused and said, "All the evidence was searched by the man and the woman, and the little one found that these two people had mentioned He Fu several times during the search. According to them, they spoke as if they were very familiar with He Fu, especially the long house of He Fu. So a small speculation, these two people may be acquaintances of Master He! ”
"He Lili's acquaintance?" Liuli frowned suddenly, his acquaintances were collecting this evidence, so what was his intention? Was it collected to prevent it from being obtained by others, or was it to be used as a lever to manipulate him, or, like her, to prove against him? "Is there anything else?"
Ji Xiaoquan thought for a while and said: "Grandma mentioned the name of the eldest master, but it made the little one think about it again, and they all said that every time the woman asked about the evidence of the abuse of power by the eldest master, she would also directly say the name of the eldest master, not the honorific title. ”
If a woman directly mentions the name of the Sanpin Commander outside, what is the possibility besides being dissatisfied with him? As a result, Liuli suddenly ruled out the possibility that the man and woman collected evidence to destroy the evidence for him. Since he is dissatisfied with He Lili and is very familiar with He Fu, who will it be?
Liuli's fingers picked at the teacup, her eyes tangled in the marks on the cup. There are many people in this world who meet these two conditions, at least in addition to herself, there are Yu, He Pusong and Aunt Su.
The Yu family is still locked up in the Hefu Buddhist Hall and has not seen the light of day, but she herself is also involved in this, so it shouldn't be her. And He Pusong is possible, if it weren't for He Lili and Ruan's initial step, the Qi family would not have died, He Pusong hated He Lili to the bone, and he served in the Zhan Mansion, and he also had the convenience of secretly investigating.
As for Aunt Su, not to mention her hatred for He Lili, He Lili gave the position of wife to the Yu family regardless of her feelings, and she was a concubine and was killed by the Yu family with three children, He Lili finally not only wanted to release the Yu family, but also used Aunt Chen to embarrass her, she has enough reasons to do so, and with her means, such a big situation is definitely something she can do.
Will it be He Pusong or Aunt Su?!
Liuli tightly picked the edge of the table, and the truth was about to come out, but unfortunately there was no way to start! If it's Aunt Su, it's okay, if it's He Pusong - he and He Lili are brothers, plus Old Lady He is still alive, it is very likely to use evidence to pinch him, and the possibility of reporting evidence is almost equal to none. And the purpose of Liuli is to get these evidences, if it is really in his hands, it will be difficult to spit it out.
Aunt Su's side, should she go back and ask her directly? If it was in Aunt Su's hands, then she would definitely give it to herself. But since she smashed He Li's yard and left her no longer recognize him as her father, what is the matter with her going back? In his mouth, it became a trespass. Of course, she can also go back regardless of everything, can He Lili let her in? If you go with the soldiers in the name of Qi Yunhao - yes, there are two outside the door, and it is enough to break into the He Mansion with the two of them. However, before the matter is decided, she doesn't want to reveal the news too early, even if it is the person who prays for Yunhao.
Besides, even if he forcibly entered, wouldn't He Lili let people look at Aunt Su? At that time, even if Aunt Su really held his evidence, she would definitely not be able to bring it out.
What to do?
She propped up her forehead and had a headache.
