Uncle Xiang didn't seem to understand Li Xudong's words, what a glorious thing it was for his son to die on the battlefield, and now that the pension has not been paid, why can't he say it to others?

"Why, Xiaodong?"

"I can't tell you the specifics now, but you will understand later, anyway, if you believe me, I will definitely help you get the pension for the big victory."

"Okay,"

Li Xudong looked at the position of the sun and said: "It's not too early, the two of you will follow me to the house for a light meal, although my family's food is not as good as the palace, my mother's craftsmanship is still good."

Han Peng: "Where is the brother, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, let's go"

Yang Yong and Han Peng didn't expect that Li Xudong's family didn't look much better than Uncle Xiang's family, and Yang Yong, who looked around, said: "Li Zhutou's father and son were both the heads of the governor's yamen, so they won't earn so little, right?" ”

Li Xudong smiled and said: "Don't hide it, my father has been a head catcher all his life, except for the injury and funeral expenses, he didn't leave a penny for our mother, but I have always been proud of him, if we go to the yamen on an errand just to make black money and forget the original intention of doing things for the people, it will not be good."

Han Peng: "Not bad brother, we didn't make friends in vain with your brother"

Yang Yongdao: "Yes, there are too few officials who are not for money now, you are good"

Aunt Li is a person who is more good at dealing with the world, otherwise the whole village would not like her so much, after hearing that Han Peng and Yang Yong came from the palace, she spent a lot of money to buy delicious food back, which can be said to be paving the way for her son's career, and secondly, Li Xudong is really the first time to bring people back, he has always felt that his son's brain is not smooth enough to deal with the world, so he will have no friends, and now it seems that this is not the case, so she is happy from the bottom of her heart, with his years of experience in reading people, she can also see Yang Yong, Han Peng and the others are not only noble enough, but also humble and polite, and they are definitely worthy of his son's deep friendship.

During the meal, Aunt Li curiously opened the portrait of Song Lingxi next to Han Peng: "Wow.... It's so beautiful, who is this little face that looks like a fairy? ”

"Auntie, this is our Princess Qi"

Li Xudong hurriedly snatched the portrait: "Mother, what are you doing, the portrait of the princess is not something that we people can look at casually, I'm sorry, Commander Han, don't blame my mother."

"It's okay, we came out with the portrait of the princess just to ask someone on the way."

When Li Xudong put the portrait, Aunt Li was in a hurry to apologize but inadvertently knocked another painting next to her to the ground, and when the scrolled scroll fell to the ground, it unfolded a little, just revealing the head of the peony, Aunt Li picked up the portrait of the peony and opened it and said: "Isn't this Hu'er Niang's cousin?" How do you have a portrait of her? ”

"Mother, what did you say? You say this is Hu'er's cousin? You read that right? ”

"No, how could I be wrong, at that time I was bent on telling her to be your daughter-in-law, I looked at it carefully"

Li Xudong hurriedly pulled the corner of Aunt Li's clothes: "Don't talk nonsense, mother, do you know who this is?" ”

Aunt Li hurriedly covered her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Wouldn't this also be the princess, look at my stinky mouth?"

Yang Yong: "She is not the princess, she is the princess's sister-in-law, as long as our princess agrees, it is not impossible to say that she will be the daughter-in-law of Li Zhutou"

Aunt Li: "Really? ”

Han Peng: "Of course it's true, Peony has no marriage match at 16 this year, but the most important thing now is to determine whether Peony has been to Uncle Xiang's house?" ”

Aunt Li: "I'm sure, and Ah Cai's daughter-in-law also saw it, if you don't believe it, you can ask her"

Han Peng and Yang Yong took the portrait of the peony and found Ah Cai's daughter-in-law under the leadership of Li Xudong, and Ah Cai's daughter-in-law also affirmed that Hu'er Niang's cousin was the woman in the painting.

When Yang Yong displayed the portrait of the peony in front of Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang hurriedly denied it in a panic, that is, in this panic, the denial turned into a tacit acquiescence: "I don't know them, they haven't been in my car, and I didn't see any of them that night."

"I only have a portrait in my hand, uncle, why do you talk about them? I didn't say she ever sat in your car, isn't she your daughter-in-law's cousin? Can you please call her out? ”

After Yang Yong slowly put away the portrait of the peony, Han Peng displayed the portrait of Song Lingxi in front of Uncle Xiang: "You should know this, let me help you recall the events of that night, that night you returned to the east of the city from the flower market and met the bearded and fat man on the road robbery, this girl gave the money to the fat man, but the fat man still wanted to rob everyone in the car, and even wanted to insult a certain girl, you came to the rescue but was cut by them, and finally this girl killed the fat man and the bearded man, Later, she also sent her maid to send you money for treatment, and you are grateful to her for hiding the murder for her, right? ”

"No, no, I don't know them, Uncle Xiaodong begs you, tell the two adults that if you want to find someone to bear the responsibility for the murder, you can arrest me, I killed the person, I killed it."

Li Xudong helped Uncle Xiang, who was about to lose his position: "Uncle Xiang, why are you so troubled, tell the truth, this girl is a princess who ran away from home, and the princess is looking for her everywhere now, it doesn't matter if those two people were killed by her, you quickly tell Commander Han and Commander Yang where the princess is, so that the princess and the princess can be reunited as soon as possible." ”

"Xiaodong, are you serious?"

"When did Xiaodong lie to you, tell me quickly"

"But I don't know where they live?"

"You should remember where they got on and where they got off, right?"

"Get on the bus at the flower market, and get off the car five miles east of the city"

"Five miles east of the city is desolate, how could the two girls get off there?"

Han Peng said: "The princess has always been cautious, it is very likely that she deliberately didn't want people to know where she lived, so she would get off there, so I and Li Zhutou will go over first, Yang Yong, you go back and report to the prince to take everyone to the east of the city to search around five miles."

The Bailai people in the Qi Palace's Mansion took the place of getting off the bus pointed out by Uncle Xiang as the center, and searched around for five miles for two days, but no one had seen Song Lingxi

"Lord Wang, no one has seen the princess within a radius of five miles, do you want to see the ruined and ruined temple not far ahead?"

"Tianlong Temple has been abandoned for many years, the temple door is closed, the door is overgrown with weeds and not a mess, it doesn't look like someone has been in and out of the place, we must have missed something and then look for it"

The prince said that if he continued to look for it, he had to continue to look for it, and no one dared to say anything about the guards who were already hungry and dizzy.

When Chu Yiyun was about to get on the horse and follow Han Peng to find it, Zhang Da, the chief guard of the Xiangwang Mansion, ran over on a fast horse: "Zhang Da has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and His Royal Highness the King of Xiang asked His Royal Highness the King of Qi to come to the palace immediately to discuss important matters."
