When mentioning a person's name, Cui Sheng can feel strong discomfort, and he can't help but spit out, which shows that this person really disgusted Cui Sheng.

In fact, Cui Sheng only said this clue casually, and he was not sure.

Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Weinan County, and the Wang family sent a slave god to do mysterious and secret affairs, which is logically unrelated to Li Qinzai's assassination.

But Cui Sheng was very aware of the contradiction between Li Qinzai and the Wang family, and Li Qinzai broke her slave's hands and feet in front of the Wang family.

For the millennium gate valve, this is a deep enmity.

As for his father's new continuation of the Wang family, Cui Sheng was an official in the capital, and on the day his father got married, he also took advantage of his official duties and failed to participate.

This shows the attitude of the two brothers and sisters of the Cui family towards the stepmother.

At the beginning, the Wang family sent slaves to Ganjingzhuang to bully his sister, which deepened Cui Sheng's evil feelings towards the Wang family.

When Cui Sheng said the clue of the Wang family, he also had some hostility towards the Wang family in his heart, otherwise he would not have done this kind of thing of turning his elbow out.

Strictly speaking, the clue that Cui Sheng said to his sister today is already unfilial, after all, it is aimed at his nominal mother, but he still said it after all.

Because my sister is pro, although my brother-in-law is a bastard, he is also pro.

The stepmother is not pro.

The difference between intimacy and alienation determines the side.

Cui Sheng sighed and said: "Tell Li Qinzai, no matter what the result of this matter is, don't affect my Cui family, my father doesn't know about it, the family is big, many things are deceived and hidden, and my father can't help it." ”

Cui Jie nodded silently.

Cui Sheng looked at her with a little smile in his eyes: "I'm about to get married, and I will live a good life with that bastard in the future, although Li Qinzai is a bastard, he still has some ability, but his temper and temperament are a little muddy, and he is still the gentleman of the year, and I don't know if he will respect you like a guest after you get married......

The corners of Cui Jie's mouth hooked, and then pursed her lips: "That person, where does he know what 'respect is like a guest', I am about to be bullied to death by him......"

Cui Sheng snorted, his brows furrowed, and his face was instantly covered with frost: "He bullied you?" ”

Seeing that her brother was about to turn his face, Cui Jie hurriedly said: "No, he bullied and bullied, but ...... The people are still good. ”

Lowering her head, Cui Jie said shyly: "I...... I kind of like to be bullied by him. ”

Looking at his sister's shy and timid face, Cui Sheng couldn't help but feel a chill.

What kind of mood does this young couple get along with on weekdays? It's not normal.

…………

Cui Jie relayed her brother's words to Li Qinzai as they were.

Li Qinzai was immediately taken aback, he thought that the masked assassin had something to do with his previous grudges, after all, he had already carried a lot of pots.

I didn't expect it to be the Taiyuan Wang family.

So Li Qinzai hurriedly sent someone to fly to Chang'an to inform Song Sen of the matter.

Although it has not been confirmed whether Wang is related to the assassination case, this is an important clue after all, and Song Sen at least has a general direction of investigation.

A few days later, Song Sen came again, and he brought three pieces of news.

First, after a close investigation by the Hundred Cavalry Division, before the assassination, some of the Tang envoys who stayed in Chang'an came into contact with a mysterious person, and only after coming into contact with him did the Tang envoys spread the news that they wanted to assassinate Li Qinzai.

Second, on the eve of the assassination, Wang Cong'an, the head of the Taiyuan Wang clan who stayed in Chang'an, went out in the evening and did not return until the early morning of the next day.

Wang Cong'an's later statement was that he stayed in the Qinglou and did not return all night, but after checking and verifying, the Baiqi Division confirmed that Wang Cong'an did stay in the Qinglou, but he quietly went out of the Qinglou and disappeared at the end of the hour, and only came back at the end of the day.

When the girl in the Qinglou who stayed with her woke up at night, she found that the people around her were not there, and she confessed honestly under the questioning of the Baiqi Division.

Third, Empress Wu already knew about this and secretly ordered the Hundred Cavalry Division to detain the upper and lower people of the Taiyuan Wang clan who stayed in Chang'an, and torture them to interrogate the original situation.

The third piece of news made Li Qinzai's heart sink.

A simple assassination case, but at this time, it is out of control, as if it has been involved in a court fight.

Empress Wu and the Taiyuan Wang family, this is such a natural enemy! The Empress Wu of that year only ascended the throne after Li Zhi abolished Empress Wang.

"Prepare the horse, I want to go back to Chang'an!" Li Qinzai said immediately.

There was no time to inform Cui Jie, Li Qinzai just temporarily entrusted Buckwheat to his grandmother who was chanting Buddha, and led the Li family to hurry on the road.

galloped all the way, and after a few hours outside Chang'an City, Li Qinzai and his subordinates were about to dismount and enter the city, but saw a eunuch wearing a silk robe standing outside the city gate.

The eunuch smiled and saluted Li Qinzai, and said softly: "The queen knows that Li Xianbo has returned to Chang'an, and the special slaves and maids are waiting here, and the queen invites Li Xianbo to enter the palace to see him." ”

Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped.

Empress Wu ...... It's not easy.

followed the eunuch into the Taiji Palace, and Empress Wu was summoned by the curtain alone.

This time, there was no Li Zhi in the hall, only Empress Wu and Li Qinzai, and there were several palace maids standing next to them, who were obviously Empress Wu's henchmen.

Through a beaded curtain, Li Qinzai couldn't see Empress Wu's face clearly, and only vaguely saw her charming figure.

"Minister Li Qinzai, meet the queen." Li Qinzai didn't have time to think about it, so he paid homage according to the ceremony.

Behind the bead curtain came the smiling voice of Queen Wu: "Jing Chu doesn't have to be polite, the curtain is to avoid suspicion, Jing Chu is not surprised." ”

"Yes, I understand."

After a moment of silence, Empress Wu suddenly asked, "How are the two princes studying?" ”

"It's still the same, the ministers are not effective, the four princes are slightly better, and the seven princes, His Royal Highness the King is really ......"

Empress Wu smiled: "It has nothing to do with your teaching, it is the princes' talent is not enough, Jing Chu is still reluctant to make it difficult, you have peerless knowledge, you can not be lost to the world, the two princes inherit your mantle, do not seek to be blue, if you meet a talented disciple in the future, you can also carry forward the knowledge." ”

After a pause, Empress Wu said again: "The school is a place to do learning, it should be clean, how is Jing Chu's teaching, this palace has never said much, but this time it has nothing to do with the school, this palace heard that the assassination case a few days ago, Taiyuan Wang was also involved?" ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "Song Zhangshi of the Hundred Cavalry Division just found clues, maybe it is related to it, but there is no empirical evidence at the moment, and the minister does not dare to talk nonsense." ”

Empress Wu's tone became colder: "An hour before you returned to Chang'an, the Baiqi Division was ordered to torture the Wang clan who stayed in Chang'an, and Wang Cong'an had already confessed. ”

Li Qinzai was taken aback: "Is it really ......?"

Empress Wu said: "Yes, in the assassination case, the masked assassin is the dead soldier of the Taiyuan Wang clan. ”

Li Qinzai was silent.

The Taiyuan Wang clan had an enmity with him, and it was reasonable to send assassins to retaliate.

But now the matter is no longer a simple assassination case, it involves the open and secret struggle between the imperial palace and the family gatekeeper, so Li Qinzai has to think twice about the authenticity of what everyone said.

Each has its own purpose and its own abacus, and the first thing Li Qinzai thought of was, what role did he play in this incident?

Cannon fodder? Or a chess piece?

In short, things have come to this point, and they are no longer under his control, and the players of this game are becoming more and more tyrants and more and more kryptonite, which is no longer something he can afford to play.

If I can't afford to play, I will cancel the number and uninstall it, can I change to another game to play?

After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly said: "The minister's life is big, he was not stabbed to death, his wish is enough, the minister returned to Chang'an today just to visit his grandfather, after all, ......it is not easy for empty nesters to live alone."

Looking up at the jingling bead curtain, Li Qinzai smiled innocently: "As for the main culprit behind the assassination case, there is a trial by the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, and the minister doesn't care." ”

Empress Wu was obviously a little surprised by Li Qinzai's answer.

What about the bastard who beat people up and smashed their homes if they didn't agree with each other? Once a gang of Tang envoys just stopped your car and threw a few rotten eggs, and you ordered to break their legs in the street.

Now that someone wants to kill you, you just let it go so gently?

Empress Wu stared at Li Qinzai's blurred face through the bead curtain for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Jing Chu is much smarter than this palace imagined, you are not only outstanding in learning, but you are also ten thousand times stronger than before." ”

Li Qinzai sighed: "Empress, the minister doesn't want to cause trouble, and he hates trouble. ”

Li Qinzai still hasn't said a word, which is very rude.

That is, he hates being used as a pawn and moving around on the chessboard, and he may become an outcast.

As if seeing what Li Qinzai was thinking, Empress Wu chuckled and said: "Jing Chu is too worried, you are after the meritorious service of the Three Dynasties, Ling Zu has made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and you have also made a lot of contributions to Your Majesty, and you are an indispensable pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and the Heavenly Family has never had bad thoughts about your Li family." ”
