The words were speculative, and the conversation was in the alley, and Jian Huaizhen asked Li Zhiyi intentionally or unintentionally: "Li Gongzi, Ling Zun's body is quite healthy, why did he die of a violent illness for no reason." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's inquiry, Li Zhiyi's complexion changed greatly, and it seemed that there was something unspeakable.

When Jian Huaizhen saw this situation, he said with emotion: "Li Gongzi, Ling Zun's unfortunate death is a tragic thing, but if something is wrong, if the old father does not turn a blind eye and dies at the end of his life, how can he rest assured as a son of man." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Zhiyi seemed to feel a lot of guilt in her heart, and hung her head silently.

Jian Huaizhen saw it clearly, and knew in his heart that Master Li's death was really hidden, but in the current situation, it seemed that the filial son was unwilling to tell the truth, and it was difficult for others to ask questions.

The two hesitated at this moment, and Jian Huaizhen was also silent.

Li Zhiyi's wife was reasonable, and when she saw her husband's situation, she opened her mouth to persuade: "Husband, the eldest princess is an outsider who still remembers her father's death, how can we, who are children, not tell that matter." ”

Li Zhiyi heard his wife's words, so he sighed and said: "What the eldest princess said is very true, the death of the old father is indeed strange, but at this time, it is related to a hot minister in the court, even if Li Zhiyi fights for his own life, he is afraid that he will not be able to fight the other party, so he has to swallow his anger and bear it." ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen's heart sank, and he had already guessed in his heart who the powerful minister who came from Li Zhiyi's mouth was.

"Husband, since the matter has come to this, and the eldest princess is not an outsider, why bother to cover it up anymore, it is better to tell the truth of the matter and inform the eldest princess." Li Zhiyi's wife persuaded from the side.

Li Zhiyi hesitated in his heart, and said: "This matter is very important, what do women know, if they are accidentally heard, I am afraid that everyone in the house will be at risk of their lives." ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Li Zhiyi's words, so he stepped forward and said, "Master Li, this princess only asks you one sentence, whether Ling Zun's death is related to Lord Shi Hengshi. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Zhiyi was a little stunned, and blurted out after being stunned: "This is how the eldest princess learned about this. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly and said: "Although Shi Heng is powerful, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and there will always be news that will leak out." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi was a little skeptical, and still refused to tell the truth about her father's death.

Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "What Li Gongzi said just now is true, if it is Shi Heng, this person is vicious, even if Li Gongzi is unwilling to inform the princess of Ling Zun's death, I am afraid that Shi Heng will not let go of the people in your mansion, even if Li Gongzi does not think about himself, he must always think about his wife and weak son." If you insist on not saying anything and don't talk about this matter, I am afraid that Mrs. and the fetus in Mrs. Niang's womb will be in a catastrophe, and sooner or later they will provoke the disaster of death. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Mrs. Li also moved on, reached out and touched her stomach, and then said to her husband Li Zhiyi: "Husband, what the eldest princess said is not bad at all, my father is in charge of Qiu Cao, and you are the minister, Shi Heng still has no taboos, and he is ruthless. From this inference, if Shi Heng has the idea of eradicating the grass and eradicating the roots in his heart, and wants to deal with us and the other husband and wife, I am afraid that it will be even more unscrupulous, and I am afraid that the two of us will not be Shi Heng's opponents at that time. It is not a pity for me to wait for death, but the fetus in my womb has not yet come to the world, and it is really embarrassing to be wronged by this. ”

Hearing that Mrs. mentioned the fetus in her womb, Li Zhiyi's originally hesitant mind also settled down, and she held his wife's hand with soft eyes and comforted him in a low voice: "There is no need to be like this, how can the death of the old father be the son of man who is willing to endure it all the time, although there is no evidence of guilt at the moment, but the eldest princess has this heart, how can Li Zhiyi bear to hide it." ”

Li Zhiyi said this, and when Jian Huaizhen next to him heard it, he already knew in his heart that the death of Master Li was indeed strange, but the people of the Li Mansion had no evidence, and they couldn't help Shi Heng, so they had to endure it, and wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity in the future to break it.

After comforting his wife for a while, Li Zhiyi said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is true, the death of my father is indeed related to Shi Heng's thief, but I don't know the specific situation, and I can't talk about it. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "Shi Heng has always been ruthless in his work, but he is also cautious and cautious, and it is extremely difficult for others to grasp his handle. Li Gongzi might as well tell what he knows in detail, so that the palace master can refer to one or two. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi opened his mouth and said: "What the palace master said is not bad at all, from the current situation, it seems that this is exactly the case, Shi Heng is vicious, and he is even more unscrupulous in doing things, and his father's life is bad in the hands of this person nine times out of ten." ”

Hearing Li Zhiyi's words, Jian Huaizhen said: "What Li Gongzi said is not bad at all, Shi Heng is insidious and vicious, so I can't help it, so I ask Li Gongzi to inform this princess of what he knows." ”

Li Zhiyi said: "A few days ago, my father visited Shi Heng, and after returning home, he brought a sword and some family members of Shifu. The eldest princess, you also know that my father has been promoted over the years, and he has spent most of his life in the officialdom to get to his current position. Therefore, he is quite persistent in his career. Although the son of man has been repeatedly admonished, it is a pity that my father's temper is stubborn, admits death, and reprimands me, saying that I don't know how to improve, and I only know how to be obsessed with diction and poetry all day long. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyi was a little embarrassed.

Jian Huaizhen bowed slightly from the side and said: "Everyone has their own aspirations, judging from the current situation, judging from the current situation, this princess feels that Li Gongzi has not explained the mistake, the sage cloud, meritorious service, words and virtues, and rhetoric and literature are also not easy to do, why must you learn from fame and fortune." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhiyi was quite pleased to say to Jian Huaizhen: "Thank you for the kind words of the eldest princess, the contemptible people also think like this, but the old father ......, alas, don't say anything about it." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "Li Gongzi, please continue to talk about Ling Zun Shiheng's past friendship." ”

Li Zhiyi nodded and said: "Actually, this matter is usually tight, now that Shi Heng is in charge, my father will inevitably have some attachment for the sake of his career, who would have expected that this would bring death to my father." ”

Jian Huaizhen asked urgently: "The disaster of killing, how can you say this." ”

Li Zhiyi opened his mouth and said: "The day before yesterday, my father and some people from Shifu went to Drunken Yunju to drink and came back, but in the evening, I suddenly had abdominal colic, and I hurriedly ordered the servants at home to invite Langzhong, but Langzhong had not yet arrived, and my father ignored it. ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen understood that Master Li was probably done something in the wine and put a poison to delay the attack, and after an hour passed, it would have an attack.

There was nothing wrong in Drunken Cloud Residence, and after returning to the mansion, there was nothing to do, and it only happened at night, so that the people of Shifu could not be suspected.

Jian Huaizhen thought in his heart that Shi Heng was ruthless in doing things, and he didn't leak anything, but he would naturally do such a big thing seamlessly, it seemed that the people of the Li Mansion couldn't find such a flaw, and there was no way to settle accounts with Shi Heng.

"In this way, even if Ling Zun's death is caused by Shi Heng's secret order, he can't hold Shi Heng's handle?"

When Li Zhiyi heard this, he sighed and said: "What the princess said is not bad at all, the current situation is like this, Li Zhiyi also suspects that his father was killed by a traitor, but he has no evidence and can't make a noise." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he also sighed: "Ling Zun passed away for no reason, but the son of man can only endure it, which is really a big tragedy in the world." ”

Li Zhiyi had to speak: "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, because of this, she didn't dare to come forward or speak out about it." ”

Jian Huaizhen also felt desolate when he heard this, so he reached out and patted Li Zhiyi's shoulder and said, "The matter has come to this point, and there is only temporary forbearance." ”

Li Zhiyi understood this truth in her heart, so she burst into tears and said to Jian Huaizhen: "What the eldest princess said is a good word, and now we can only swallow our anger, so that we can find out about this matter when we have the opportunity in the future." ”

Hearing Li Zhiyi's statement, Jian Huaizhen nodded solemnly in agreement, and then spoke: "Things always have to come step by step, if Li Gongzi wants to find out the truth about Ling Zun's death, he should do so." ”

Li Zhiyi also nodded and said: "What the eldest princess said is not bad at all, judging from the current situation, things are exactly like this, if you want to avenge your father, you can only endure it." ”

"Gongzi Li, do you know what the sword your father retrieved is?" Jian Huaizhen suddenly thought of this.

Li Zhiyi nodded and said, "My father mentioned that it is the sword of Shang Fang given by the current saint. ”

Hearing Li Zhiyi's words, Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "I see, it seems that Shi Heng said that the emperor was moved." ”

When Li Zhiyi heard this, he asked casually: "The words of the eldest princess, the contemptible people don't understand, Shi Heng said that the emperor was moved, and Shi Heng said that the emperor wanted to do something?" ”

Jian Huaizhen understood in his heart how clearly Li Zhiyi must know about his father's order to capture Lan Jing, who was shaking red with the candle shadow.

The old man has just passed away, and Jian Huaizhen doesn't want Li Zhiyi to fall too deep into this matter, so as not to be too sad for this filial son.

"Li Gongzi doesn't need to know about this matter, it should be one of Shi Heng's tricks." Jian Huaizhen mentioned it lightly, not wanting to get involved too much in this matter.

Li Zhiyi is also a sensible reader, and when he heard Jian Huaizhen's words, he opened his mouth and said: "What the eldest princess said is extremely true, Shi Heng is a hot-hearted and vicious person, and he is really a treacherous villain. ”

Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "What Li Gongzi said is not bad at all, if you want to fight with Shi Heng, you must be cautious, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that you will lose all the games." ”

When Li Zhiyi heard this, he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Li Zhiyi is teachable. ”

Jian Huaizhen said: "Depending on the situation, Ling Zun's death has a lot to do with Shi Heng, and this princess is determined to check Shi Heng for Li Gongzi, hoping to find out the cause of Ling Zun's death one day." ”

Li Zhiyi hurriedly said: "If the eldest princess can help Zhiyi get to the bottom of the matter and find out the cause of her deceased father's death, Li Zhiyi will repay the eldest princess in the next life." ”

After saying that, Li Zhiyi knelt down in front of Jian Huaizhen.

When Mrs. Li saw her husband like this, she also knelt down.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them and said, "You don't need to be polite, this matter is also related to the life and death of one of the princess's friends, why do you bother to make such a big gift." ”

Li Zhiyi opened his mouth and said: "That being said, it is absolutely necessary to be not polite enough. ”

As he spoke, he knelt down again.

Jian Huaizhen pretended to be a little angry and said to Li Zhiyi: "If Li Gongzi is really like this, this princess is ashamed, so please ask the two of you to get up first." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's insistence, Li Zhiyi and his wife had no choice but to follow Li Zhiyi's meaning and said to Jian Huaizhen: "Okay, okay, don't thank you for your kindness, if the eldest princess needs my wife to work together in the future, but please tell me." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, Li Zhiyi and his wife, who were very happy, said: "It's best if the two of them don't give a big gift. It's not an easy thing to deal with Shi Heng, and you still need to try carefully, and it's not easy to do it quickly. ”

Li Zhiyi responded: "The villain also knows this, and it is clear that Shi Heng's treacherous and cunning old puppet is indeed not easy to deal with. Please also ask the eldest princess to bother more. ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "I only know this matter clearly, and the two of you can rest assured." I hope that what I say today will not be said to the people in the house, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Li Zhiyi and his wife bowed their heads together and said: "The eldest princess has this admonition, how dare we and the couple not take it to heart." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "That is the case, then it is the best, the two of you have a good rest, and Jian Huaizhen will go back first." ”

Li Zhiyi and his wife heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and wanted to come out to send them off, but Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "There is no need to send each other, Mrs. is pregnant with Liujia, don't get angry." ”

Li Zhiyi and his wife were unmoved, and insisted on sending it, but Jian Huaizhen couldn't resist the two of them, so they sent them out of the second door, and then said: "It's better to hide people's eyes and ears this time, just send it here, no need to send it." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Li Zhiyi and his wife had no choice but to watch Jian Huaizhen leave.

After Jian Huaizhen learned the truth about Lord Li's death from Li Zhiyi, he was even more suspicious of Shi Heng in his heart, and felt that Shi Heng must be responsible for this matter.

After coming back, he summoned Nangong Jiuzhong, the master of the confession gate, and went to see Li Zhiyi, the son of Lord Li, today, and asked him about the situation of Lord Li before his death, and who he had met with and so on, so he prevaricated Li Zhiyi at first, and then moved him with affection and reason, and wanted her to tell the truth. But Li Zhiyi still had scruples, and in the end, as long as he pointed out that if Li Zhiyi refused to tell the truth, maybe the two wives would not be able to escape the disaster. Fortunately, Mrs. Li, who was pregnant with Liujia, persuaded her from the side and begged Li Zhiyi to tell the truth for the safety of her flesh and blood in her abdomen. In order to avoid disaster to the pond fish, Li Zhiyi finally told that Shi Heng had met with Master Li, and the two of them seemed to have written a deal.

After Nangong Jiuzhong listened to Jian Huaizhen's story, he also decided that Shi Heng was the most suspicious.

"Miss, according to the words of Li Zhiyi and his wife, Lord Li's death has a lot to do with Shi Heng, but the people of the Li Mansion can't testify to this?" Nangong Jiuzhong opened his mouth and said.

Jian Huaizhen bowed his head slightly and said: "What Jiuzhong saw is good, the people of the Li Mansion really have no evidence, so Li Zhiyi and his wife can only swallow their anger, wanting to wait until they have the opportunity to verify this matter in the future." ”

Nangong Jiu replied to a sentence and said: "Li Zhiyi and his wife are not bad, but they found the wrong person, Shi Heng is ruthless, I am afraid that before they find out the evidence of Shi Heng's crime, Shi Heng's family will be ruined." ”

Jian Huaizhen said with great relief: "What Jiuzhong has seen is extremely true, so I summoned you today, and I also hope that some people can be sent under the confession door to secretly protect Li Zhiyi's family house, and don't let people go to Li Mansion to make trouble, so as to protect Li Zhiyi and his wife." ”

"Secretly protect, this is no problem, as long as the young lady has an order, the confession door can send people to protect Li Zhiyi and his wife." Nangong Jiuzhong said to Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen then opened his mouth and ordered: "Okay, this matter will be handled by you." ”

Nangong Jiuzhong replied: "Miss rest assured, the confession door will never sit idly by, and will definitely send people to protect the two of them." ”

Jian Huaizhen said: "Yes, that's right, Li Zhiyi and his wife have Lao Jiuzhong to bother you." Tomorrow I am going to go to Shi Heng's mansion, if I can find out what Shi Heng really wants, and whether there are any conspiracies, so that no matter what the situation, I can always deal with it. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Nangong Jiuzhong was shocked and said: "Miss has such a statement, does she want to risk her life and go deep into the tiger's den in Longtan?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "That's right, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." If you want to expose Shi Heng's private affairs, the only way is to go to Shi Heng's lair, and the current situation is like this, if you can't know yourself and your opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue Lan Jing. ”

Nangong Jiuzhong smiled slightly and said: "It's still Miss who is kind-hearted, Lan Jing doesn't listen to your advice at all for ignoring her, but the candle shadow shakes red and causes such a big disaster, but Miss wants to save her from prison wholeheartedly, Lan Jing is really lucky, and there are nobles to help her in this life." ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he also smiled and said: "Jiuzhong, no matter what, Lan Jing is also a strange woman who is as vicious as hatred, if she is really killed by the emperor this time, it will be a great loss for Candle Shadow Shake Red, I asked her to go out to fight for the position of the master of Candle Shadow Shake Red that day, I think this woman has a strong temperament, evil like hatred, and is a rare hero." ”

Nangong Jiuzhong said: "What Miss said is not bad, although Lan Jing is a little annoying, she is also very clear in front of the big right and wrong, and she is not like an ordinary woman in the rivers and lakes, this kind of talent, if it can be used by me, it can also benefit the martial arts." ”
