Hearing Ye Li say that he wanted to report to the official, King Yu nodded, "It's okay, this time we have a certificate in our hands, and the words of the official are extremely advantageous." Without further ado, I'll accompany you to the Criminal Department. "When encountering such a major event as an assassination, and a person who has died in one place, he can't say that he will sleep until the next day and then report to the official slowly.

The two did not ride horses, but sat in the carriage together, and Ye Li also happened to rest. King Yu said to Ye Li again, I can't say that I already knew the layout of Ye Chengxun and the killer, because then I can't explain why Ye Li killed so many people, so I said that my guards saw Ye Li hurriedly riding away, It seems that there is something urgent, King Yu is not at ease, and sent the palace guards to chase after him.

When the night guard of the Criminal Department heard that Jiping Hou Shizi had been assassinated, His Royal Highness King Yu accompanied him to report the case, and he was so frightened that he called the head of the Criminal Department who was sleeping in the yamen from the bed.

The head of the criminal department heard Ye Li tell him about his assassination, and said that there was still a living mouth, and the guards of the king of Yu were guarding there, and he hurriedly gathered his men and horses, and went to the valley leading to Baique Mountain. When all the dead and living thieves are brought back, and the person who deceived Ye Li with a jade pendant caught by the guards of the Yuwang Mansion is also brought back to the Criminal Department, the sky is almost dawn.

In the rhetoric of King Yu and Ye Li, they didn't know that Ye Chenghun was the mastermind behind the scenes, so according to the law, they first interrogated those living mouths. Those minions saw that their companions were killed by Ye Li, and they almost died under the sword, and they were already frightened, and before they could be punished, they confessed Ye Chenghun out.

At this time, the sky was also bright, the officials of the Criminal Department had arrived, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the left and right servants heard that it was King Yu who came to report the case, and without saying a word, they sent someone to arrest Ye Chengxun and put him in prison, and detained him together with those living mouths, preparing to formally file the case for trial.

The Jiping Marquis Mansion suddenly blew up the nest.

Ye Chenghun was arrested, and the crime was suspected of buying a murderer to assassinate Jiping Hou Shizi, and Ye Li's distress could not be hidden.

Ye Li returned to the Jiping Hou Mansion from the Criminal Department, and before he arrived at the second gate, he heard his sister's surprised and happy voice: "Brother! He raised his eyes and saw that Ye Qian's two calves were moving fast, and the little golden bell tied to the girl's bun jingled and ran towards him.

Ye Li's star eyes showed a gentle smile, God has eyes, he is back to his sister. He bent down and stretched out his arms, ready to catch his sister who threw himself into his arms.

Ye Qian didn't throw herself into her brother's arms as usual, she ran to Ye Li, and stopped in time, her big apricot eyes quickly filled with a layer of moisture, and her little pink mouth pursed hard, but she still couldn't hold back, big tears fell down her white and tender cheeks, and she also cried as soon as she opened her mouth: "Brother is injured, brother, do you hurt?" ”

No wonder I didn't pounce, I was worried about my injury. Ye Li laughed, stretched out his hand and hugged her, "Qianqian, don't worry, my brother is just a little slightly injured, and he will be fine soon." "He was just hurt by those thieves, and he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and the deer doctor was giving him medicine last night, and he didn't feel it anymore.

"Brother." Ye Qian's little arm wrapped around Ye Li's neck, "Brother, was it very dangerous last night?" Aren't those bad guys fierce? ”

"It's nothing, those people are not good, my brother beat them down in three or two strokes." Ye Li didn't want to scare his sister, so he hugged her and comforted her while walking, but he saw that his mother was anxiously pacing back and forth in the second gate, and when he saw him coming, his beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Ye Li put his sister down and led her into the second gate, "Mother, my son is not filial, so my mother is worried." ”

"It's okay." Meng Shi looked up and down, and saw that the clothes he was wearing were obviously not his own, and the bandage on his arm could be seen from the cuffs, which showed that he was injured. Meng's heart lifted, last night King Yu sent someone to say that Ye Li would not come back, she was a little faintly worried, she wanted to let Qianqian go over to take a look this morning, but she didn't expect Ye Chengxun to be arrested. Thinking that her son must have experienced some danger last night, she gritted her teeth with hatred, Ye Chengxun and the old lady harmed her lord, causing her to not be able to get up for seven years, and now she is hurting her son again.

"Let's go into the house." Meng took his son and daughter back to his Siyuan Hall.

Ye Li briefly recounted the incident, and did not say how thrilling his situation was, only that King Yu knew in advance that Ye Chengxun was buying the murderer, so he sent guards over to clean up the thieves together. He took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Meng, "Mother, you see, this is the jade pendant I gave to my father back then, and he wore it on his body when he had an accident. ”

Meng Shi took the jade pendant, tears almost fell out, and he took a deep breath, "That's right, this is your father's jade pendant, since this jade pendant is in their hands, then what happened to your father must be related to them, presumably it was to harm your father before he fell off the cliff, and he snatched this jade pendant, just planning to use it to continue to harm us." ”

Ye Qian listened carefully to what her brother had said, and her round fingers touched the word "砺" engraved on the jade pendant, and asked strangely: "Since my father fell off the cliff and my mother didn't find it, how did they know that my father was not dead?" "It's just that King Yu knows, after all, in her heart, King Yu is extremely powerful, how do the people in the second room know?

Her words were a little strange, there was a vague wrongness, Meng Shi and Ye Li both recalled it in their hearts a few times, and their faces changed greatly at the same time, Meng Shi grabbed one of her little fat hands, and Ye Li grabbed her other arm.

Ye Qian was taken aback by her mother and brother, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Li's hand trembled a little, but Meng Shi barely squeezed out a smile and asked softly, "Qianqian, isn't your father dead?" ”

Ye Qian just wanted to nod, but his little head nodded halfway, and suddenly remembered that he promised King Yu that he would not say it, so he hurriedly changed his head to shake his head, and his big black grape-like eyes blinked twice, "I don't know either." ”

Not to mention her half-dotted little head, the "I don't know" sentence alone is a big problem. Because in the Jiping Hou Mansion, in fact, everyone thinks that the Hou Ye is dead, and Ye Li has brought her sister since she was a child, and she also told her so. If she really didn't know anything, she would definitely say "my father is dead" instead of "I don't know".

Meng Shi and Ye Li glanced at each other, and they both saw shock, surprise, excitement, and disbelief in each other's eyes......

The two thought of King Yu at the same time, and also thought of when King Yu deceived Qianqian to be the princess, and promised her a condition, at that time, Qianqian said "an excellent thing"......

Meng Shi stood up suddenly, Ye Li also got up, Ye Qian looked at the two strangely, Meng Shi said: "King Yu saved Brother Li'er, we have to go over and thank him." "Whether Master Hou is still alive or not, she must ask in person.

Ye Li nodded heavily, "That's right, I have to thank him well, mother, let's go now." He couldn't wait to hear from his father.

Ye Qian was led by her mother with one hand and her brother with the other, and followed the two out of the door blankly.

King Yu tossed with Ye Li all night, and just after making up for sleep, he heard that Ye Li was here again. He greeted him with a smile, "Ah Li was injured and didn't sleep all night, why didn't he rest for a while?" Hey, my mother-in-law is here too? Qianqian is also here? ”

welcomed the three of them into the house, and when Gonggong Kang saw that they had something to say, he had the sight to let the little attendants retreat, and he also retreated outside the door.

"Thank you for saving Brother Li'er." Meng Shi bowed and decided to get straight to the point, "Does the prince know the news of our family's marquis?" ”

King Yu raised his eyebrows, and his black phoenix eyes looked at Ye Qian, seeing her dazed look, he knew that the little girl didn't leak secrets on purpose, she was defenseless in front of her mother and brother, and it was possible to accidentally say that she leaked her mouth.

Ye Li also gave a deep salute, "If the prince knows the news of my father, please tell me the truth." ”

Ye Qian looked at her mother, then at her brother, and finally looked at King Yu with big black grape-like eyes, and blinked innocently, she didn't know why her mother and brother came to ask King Yu this question, it wasn't what she said.

"Qianqian, come." King Yu saw the little girl staring at him and stretched out his hand to her.

Ye Qian ran to King Yu's side, hooked his neck, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Brother Yan, I didn't say it, I don't know how my mother and brother knew." ”

"It doesn't matter." King Yu chuckled and held her little hand, Ye Li was deceived by someone with his father's news last night, and he would definitely tell Meng Shi and Qianqian when he went back, Qianqian accidentally said that he missed his mouth in the process, which is also normal.

Meng Shi and Ye Li watched their baby whisper intimately to Prince Yu, but they didn't care about it, the most important thing now is whether Hou Ye is still alive.

King Yu pondered for a moment, and said, "Ji Pinghou is indeed alive." Since his mother-in-law and eldest brother both asked about him, and if he didn't know, it was not a concealment, but a lie, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on the two.

Hou Ye is not dead! Meng Shi covered his mouth tightly with a handkerchief, for fear that he would cry. Ye Lixing's eyes widened, and he asked excitedly, "Then where is he now?" "If my father is still alive, why hasn't he come back after seven years? Has he forgotten his wife, his son, his daughter?

"This matter is not very easy to handle, if it is distorted and used by people with intentions, it will be a great crime of treason if it is not done well." King Yu glanced at Ye Li, he was not worried about Meng, after all, she was scheming and thoughtful, he was worried that Ye Li was too impulsive and would ruin his layout for so long, "If you want me to tell the whereabouts of the Hou Ye, Ah Li must promise me first, no matter what, I will never go to him." I also promised Ah Li that I would always bring Hou Ye back. ”

"The great crime of treason? Father is not in Daqi? After Ye Li was surprised, he immediately understood King Yu's concerns. 's father is the head of the household of Daqi, if he runs away to another country, it's okay if he doesn't become an official, but if he becomes an official, then it's really unclear. "Father, he...... Are there any dangers? ”

"He's not in danger for the time being, but if Ah Li runs away, it won't be necessary." He was arranging to get Ji Pinghou back, if Ye Li ran over regardless of it, then things would become complicated, whether he could bring Ji Pinghou back, he was really not sure.

"Okay, I promise you not to go to him." After such a long period of contact, Ye Li still trusts King Yu very much, knowing that he is not as unscrupulous as he seems, and the forces in the dark are not as harmless as they seem on the surface, since he said that he would bring his father back, he is willing to wait.
