Lu Xiao read the letter, and his face suddenly turned cold.

Five years after the collapse of Shinto, it seemed to have disappeared all overnight, and the imperial court had never searched for any trace of Shinto cultists in the past few years, so how could they suddenly appear in Shengjing City at this time?

Lu Xiao twisted his eyebrows, remembering that he had not been involved in the Divine Dao in his previous life, and faintly felt that this matter was not quite right......

Li Taiwei also asked about the stinging injury and Li Wenxiu's details in the letter, Lu Xiao hastily took the letter into his arms after reading it, lowered his voice and said to Dafu:

"Go back and tell Li Taiwei, tell her to relax, and I'll ask someone to tell Bai Lu later."

Dafu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Bai Lu was a flower smoke, so he said:

"Huayan left the house early in the morning, it seems to be ordered by the county lord......"

Lu Xiao frowned, sighed nonsense, turned over neatly on the horse, and took Gu Yu to the Soldiers and Horses.

................

In the imperial study, the emperor was furious with a stiff face, and slapped the table and scolded Li Sheng:

"See for yourself! You're leaking like a sieve! ...... You are the face of my country! How do you entrust you with the responsibility of supporting the country? ”

Li Sheng bowed:

"The minister is guilty of negligence, please punish your majesty."

Lu Qing is a rough man, and every once in a while, he will be pulled into the imperial study by His Majesty to raise his face, this slapping the table and smashing the imperial pen are common things! Speaking of which, it's the first time I've seen Li Sheng deflated!

Lu Qing smiled in his heart, and then saw His Majesty pointing at his nose and scolding:

"And you!"

"I haven't asked you to go to war in the past few years, and you can't even reach the horse's nose?"

"I entrusted the safety of Shengjing City to you, and this is how you share your worries about me? All Shinto people can sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion...... You didn't even notice it! ”

Lu Qing choked for a moment when he heard this, thinking that Lao Tzu would be in charge of a forbidden army, and no one would enter the capital...... Besides, these things of catching spies are not in Lao Tzu's care! Why don't you scold those old things in the Gyeonggi Camp and the Terracotta Division?

Naturally, he only dared to think about it in his heart, Lu Qing stepped forward with a solemn face, hugged his fists and said:

"The minister is ineffective, please let Your Majesty calm his anger......"

The emperor vented his anger a little, rubbed his swollen forehead, and stared at the two with a gloomy expression.

The prince hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for the emperor personally, and glanced at Li Xiang and Lu Hou who were standing dryly below, and said slowly:

"Father, there are many Shintoists, although they were all strangled back then, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net...... If this matter is really related to Shinto, it is no wonder that Xiangye and Lu Hou are not to blame. ”

"Fortunately, Aunt Showa is safe and sound, if it weren't for the Chonghua County Host Police this time, I'm afraid that we will suffer heavy losses in the future......"

At the mention of Li Taiwei, the emperor eased his face and raised his eyes to glance at Li Sheng.

This girl is really good, not only does she look good, but what is even more rare is that she is the same as her Lao Tzu, she is smart and smart! Behind her stood the Xiliang royal family, if she married the crown prince, it would be the most suitable. But in the past few years, he has secretly mentioned a few words to Li Sheng, and he has asked the old fox to block back without a trace.......

As soon as he remembered that his daughter-in-law had not been able to turn into the door, the emperor felt a little weaker, cleared his throat, and said to the two:

"The herald ordered the Gyeonggi camp to investigate secretly, don't alarm the people of the capital and cause panic! The Soldiers and Horses Division and Jingzhao Mansion have strengthened their vigilance in the past few days, and they can't be called to take advantage of the loopholes, if there is any news, they will be sent directly to Li Xiang. The forbidden army is here...... Lu Hou should pay more attention, and guard the capital for me, and send him at any time! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Obey the order!"

The emperor bowed his head and asked Lu Qing to go back to set up defenses first, leaving Li Sheng alone to speak.

"I already know what is going on in your house...... Although Li Shilang is innocent in this matter, he also has the crime of not managing his family, and his official position needs to be moved, do you understand? ”

Li Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, and said in a deep voice:

"The minister understands ......"

The emperor nodded, took a sip of tea, and said:

"The end of Yongping Bofu...... You look at it yourself, this matter is related to your official reputation, it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, ask Jingzhao Mansion to deal with it cleanly......"

Li Sheng saluted gratefully and thanked His Majesty.

Out of the imperial study, seeing that Lu Hou was still waiting outside, Li Sheng took two steps and raised his eyebrows to look over.

Lu Hou smiled at Li Sheng, and came to him in a hurry:

"Lao Li...... What happened in your house, but is it true? ”

Li Sheng raised his eyelids, looked at Lu Qing's gossip appearance with his eyes shining, and became angry in his heart, and glared at him with his sleeves:

"What are you doing?"

After that, he left without looking back.

Lu Qing was not angry, squinted and twisted his beard, and said sourly towards Li Sheng's back, "Yes!" ”

How much this old boy stole the limelight from him when he was young, let's see...... Now that everyone is old, they can still get into a peach blossom debt...... Tsk, isn't that what it should be!

..................................

In Fangfei Garden, Nian Xia personally commanded the maids to clean up the fragments of the screen, and the three or five people carefully carried the broken Xiushan marble screen out of the courtyard.

Mrs. Li was a little upset when she saw the mess in the house, so she took Dafu along the small garden and walked to the flower gallery near the north wing to relax.

Dafu listened to Lu Xiao's words to Li Taiwei, Li Taiwei shook the fan and didn't make a sound, silently thinking about what had happened in the house recently, a little distracted.

"The slave has seen the county master!"

The two maids passed through the flower corridor with a few stacks of books in their hands, and bowed to Mrs. Li to say goodbye.

Mrs. Li came back to her senses and asked:

"Where did you get this book?"

The maids said:

"Mr. Wen Xiu has been staying in the north wing for the past few days, saying that the books are a little tidal, and he asked the slaves and maids to take them out to dry."

As soon as she heard that it was Li Wenxiu's book, Li Taiwei slapped a fan in her hand and beckoned to the little maids.

The maids went over with the books, Li Taiwei took out one or two books casually, opened them and looked at them carefully, they were all strategies, but there was nothing special, so she lost interest, handed the books back to the maids, and asked a word or two about Li Wenxiu's daily life.

The maids answered one by one, and they bowed and withdrew.

"Wait!"

Mrs. Li stared at the sachet on the waist of one of the maidservants, and asked slowly:

"Where did you get this sachet?"

The color and style of this sachet Li Taiwei are very familiar with, and it was the day she went back to the Jin Yushi Mansion that the fourth girl asked her to take it back to the mansion.

There were a total of about 40 bags in the baggage, and when they were handed over to Nian Xia that day, they were equally divided into Hua'an Hall and Qiutang Temple. There wasn't much left in their long house, and she vaguely remembered that Nian Xia talked about it, and only gave it to the people of Yunshuiju and Fangfeiyuan. The little maid in front of her is on an errand in Beiyuan, so she shouldn't be able to get it.

Sure enough, the little maid subconsciously lowered her head and glanced at the sachet on her waist, and hurriedly knelt down and said:

"The county lord...... This sachet was picked up by the slave maid from the grass outside Mr. Wen Xiu's house, and the slave and maid also asked Mr. Gentlemen, and it was indeed Mr. who didn't want it......"

"The slave and maid will never dare to steal the things in the house, and ask the county lord to see ......"

Mrs. Li smiled slightly and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'll just ask casually."

As soon as the words fell, something suddenly crossed in his mind, and the fast Li Taiwei almost didn't catch it!

She stood up suddenly, her eyes widened, and she asked the little maid word by word:

"You just said...... This osmanthus sachet was thrown on the ground by Mr. Wen Xiu without it? ”

The little maid's face turned white in surprise and nodded:

"The gentleman said that he didn't like cinnamon, so he ...... And he threw it outside, slave...... The slave saw that this sachet was very delicate, so she picked it up......"

"That's ......"

Mrs. Li took a slow breath, looked at the roof of Beiyuan from afar, and her eyes lit up.
