Chapter 108: How to Give Favors
Although the prince was also puzzled by Ling Budo's behavior, in the face of Wang Chunde's blame, it was quite natural for him to defend Ling Budo.
"Zicheng also wants to know the truth of the year too much, and he can't think about it for a while, you also know him, and the matter of the lonely city has been in Zicheng's heart for more than ten years.
Now it's hard to catch up with the people behind the scenes, but the result is a failure, so we also have to think about it from the perspective of Zicheng."
When Wang Chun heard this, he couldn't argue with the prince, so he could only slow down and say, "Of course I can understand Zicheng's feelings, but now that these people have fallen out, how should they end?"
The prince didn't have any good ideas about this, so he also began to make peace: "Now Zicheng and Ziyang have been called by their father to the palace to give a lecture, and I think that my father will appease one or two.
After waiting for Zi Yang to leave the palace, I will also ask you to go to the Yuan Mansion to persuade Zi Yang and Shanjian, so that they don't make it difficult for Zi Yang, I think they are also open-minded people, and they will not be entangled in their experiences.
As for Zicheng's side, I will also persuade him, and after a long time, this matter will be over."
The prince didn't have any constructive opinions about what he said, but Wang Chun had no choice but to listen.
But Emperor Wen's situation here is really different from what the prince thought, because as soon as Li Hao and Ling Budo arrived in the palace, they directly confessed to Emperor Wen.
Of course, when there is no one around, anyway, Emperor Wen wants to teach Ling Budo a lesson, and he will always transfer people away, leaving only Cao Cheng to serve nearby.
This is all a common practice, so Ling Budo has already made a calculation in his heart.
After all, this matter was judged above board, and now the Yue family has been dug out, and there is no Emperor Wen who cares too much about the rest of the people, so there is naturally no need to hide Emperor Wen from him.
After Emperor Wen learned the truth, he was just as the two of them imagined, and he was not upset by this incident, but took the initiative to help the two of them cover up.
directly began to magnify the scolding, scolding from the palace to the waiters and palace maids who were waiting outside.
scolded Li Hao for being unfavorable and incompetent, scolded Ling Budo for his perverse and unreasonable temperament, and almost went straight to his feet while scolding.
If Cao Cheng hadn't come forward in time to stop Emperor Wen, I was afraid that the two would have to be kicked a few times.
In the end, Emperor Wen pretended to be angry, so he directly drove the two out of the palace and ordered the two to think about it for half a month behind closed doors.
Naturally, the two did not argue, obediently received the will, and went home from the palace with a discordant face.
But to be honest, Li Hao always felt that Emperor Wen was not pure acting, but was talking from his heart under the pretext of saying what he had said before.
Of course, Li Hao thought that he must have done nothing, and he was purely affected by Ling Budo.
But this also has an advantage, that is, the focus of this eucalyptus has been led to Ling Budo and Li Hao, and Yuan Shen was really let go lightly and was not affected too much.
After returning to the mansion, Li Hao directly implemented Emperor Wen's will and thought about it behind closed doors, and by the way, all visitors were rejected, such as Wang Chun, who wanted to come to the door, but he was also stopped back.
And doing this is also to cooperate with Ling Budo, so that he can interrogate Peng Kun quietly in the mansion.
That day, he deliberately made a disturbance on the road, that is, it was convenient for him to pick up the people naturally, and now the people are in his hands alone, anyway, no one will stop him from checking them anymore.
It's just that he doesn't go out and doesn't see guests, it doesn't mean that Li Hao doesn't care about things outside at all, after all, some things, such as the East Palace, are nothing, but some things have to be done quickly, such as finding the whereabouts of Wucheng.
This guy is really good at hiding, Li Hao mobilized all his manpower in the capital, and almost turned over the capital, but still didn't find the shadow of this guy.
Therefore, Li Hao wanted to change his thinking, so he pulled Yuan Shen down to discuss it together.
Yuan Shen said, "Actually, according to what you just said, in fact, most of the capital has been searched, and the rest is the imperial palace, or the mansions of some important ministers in the court.
According to the information from the investigation, Wucheng has no friends in the DPRK and China, so will he return to the mastermind behind the scenes?
After all, according to Ling Budo's speculation, this mastermind behind the scenes is also a powerful person in the court, so isn't this just right!"
Li Hao heard the words and replied: "Actually, I thought about it before, but it doesn't seem to make sense, the mastermind behind the scenes also took action to kill those assassins, how could they come to protect the fifth percent."
"What's so incomprehensible about this, maybe the fifth percent is the henchman behind this scene, that is, he presided over the extermination, after all, what he has done in the middle for so many years, we don't know very well."
Yuan Shen still insisted on his judgment and gave evidence.
In fact, Yuan Shen's words sounded fine, and it did make sense, after all, Li Hao was hindered by Yuan Pei's stop, and he really didn't know what Wucheng had done in the past few years, maybe he really got involved with Ling Yi.
After all, this guy's brain is too bad, and he really can't stand Ling Yi's essence alley.
It's just that in the past, in Li Hao's mind, the two people couldn't play together, so they deliberately ignored this.
After determining the new direction of exploration, Li Hao turned his head and found Yuan Wo, and refocused on the Ling family, especially the heavily guarded Chengyang Hou Mansion.
Because from the perspective of security alone, if it is really Ling Yizang's person, then the most likely place to be resettled is still in the Hou Mansion.
Anyway, Ling Budo doesn't go back much, there are basically no outsiders in the house, and others have to be notified in advance if they want to enter, so it is impossible to trespass.
It's just that the arrangement is like this, but Li Hao doesn't have much confidence in this, after all, he has checked the Chengyang Marquis Mansion so many times in the past, but he has not turned over the evidence that the Chun Yu clan hid Ling Yi and collaborated with the enemy.
Now facing Ling Yi, who is even more sophisticated than Chun Yu's clan, this hope is naturally even more slim.
In this follow-up, Li Hao didn't pay much attention to it, so he could only follow fate, anyway, Li Hao was bound to kill the fifth percent, and this time let him escape, so he continued to investigate.
Anyway, you can't let this bane make trouble for your own family, even if Yuan Pei speaks, it's not easy to use, it's a big deal to pull Yuan Shen to take the blame together, Li Hao doesn't believe that he can really do anything to his two sons, it's a big deal to be sad alone for a while.
As for Chun Yu's evidence, it doesn't matter now, originally he wanted to find out to sell some favors to Ling Budo at a critical moment, so that he could support some of his decisions.
But now that Peng Kun is not dead, Ling Budo will naturally be able to get the truth from him, and whether there is such evidence or not is not so important.
After putting his mind down, Li Hao felt at ease to live a few days of rare leisure, without having to be busy dealing with official business and intriguing with others.
However, before that, Li Hao still had to spend some time to appease Xia Qu Lengjun and Wang Ji, especially Wang Ji.
After all, she was not as calm as Qu Lengjun, and she was not as far as Qu Lengjun, so after seeing Li Hao being punished by Emperor Wen, she began to get anxious.
Because she was deeply aware of Ling Budo's status in Emperor Wen's heart, this time the two had a bad relationship, so she was naturally worried about Li Hao's situation.
I had to ask Wang Chun to help, and I spoke to Li Hao at Emperor Wen and the prince, Li Hao received this intention, but the problem was that it was not needed, but Li Hao was not good at explaining it specifically.
Fortunately, in the end, Li Hao and the prince discussed the return of donating money and food, and the prince personally wrote a plaque of the Great Good House, which made Wang Ji feel a lot more at ease.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
But then I was a little disappointed, if I could have gotten how much earlier, how could this icing on the cake be compared to charcoal in the snow.
But disappointed to disappointed, although the timing was a little worse, but thinking that mosquito legs also have meat, Li Hao still ordered someone to find a way to get this Nuwa statue.
Of course, Li Hao didn't plan to come hard, Princess Ruyang was Emperor Wen's uncle after all, and it was definitely not appropriate to grab it directly.
And because of his arrival, the development line of this matter has changed a lot, and Li Hao is not completely sure that the letter conspired by Ling Yi and Peng Kun is in that statue of Nuwa.
Therefore, Li Hao asked people to cast a statue of Nuwa to replace it with the statue of Nuwa sent by Chun Yu's family, anyway, the shape is much the same, Princess Ruyang has just started for two days, and she can't think about it carefully.
For this reason, Li Hao also deliberately asked people to make the craftsmanship rougher, after all, the workshop of Chunyu's mother's family, the craftsmanship is not worse than the Yuan family's workshop, if it is really too good, it will be really fake.
It took two days to get this Nuwa statue right, and the rest was to send someone to replace it, and this was not difficult for Li Hao.
After all, Li Hao has a lot of specialized talents, among which there are also a few masters of this rooster and dog thief, and he moved the statue of Nuwa back to Li Hao that night.
And Li Hao was also waiting in the courtyard, waiting for the moment of the lottery, so Li Hao spent a lot of determination to get rid of the warm fragrance of nephrite.
However, it is obvious that other people may not understand Li Hao's mood, so before and after putting the Nuwa statue on Li Hao's body, the person who came directly reported: "Childe, this Nuwa statue is not the right weight, there should be something hidden in the middle."
These words suddenly destroyed Li Hao's expectation of winning the lottery with his own hands, which feels like buying scratch tickets for many years, and has not moved, and now he is about to win the lottery, but he was directly scraped by a hand owed.
Although this award is still his own, the sense of ritual is gone, so the guy who spoke was glared at by Li Hao.
Seeing this, although this guy didn't know what he was wrong, he still honestly shut up and retreated.
After retracting his gaze, Li Hao also lost interest in breaking it with his own hands, so he asked Yuan Wo to come over and smash the Nuwa statue and take out the contents inside.
Yuan Wo didn't ask much after hearing this, and directly asked someone to take a hammer and began to knock on the statue of Nuwa.
After all, he only knows that there is something hidden in it now, and if he doesn't know what it is, it will be troublesome to rashly break and destroy the contents inside.
Although the efficiency of slow crushing is slower, the safety is also guaranteed.
Start from the top of the statue and go down step by step, finally revealing the large hole in the middle of the statue.
After confirming that you only have a few pieces of bamboo slips, Yuan Wo is no longer so cautious, and the last few hammers will solve the battle, completely take out the bamboo slips, and hand them to Li Hao.
Li Hao took a look, this should indeed be evidence of collusion between Ling Yi and Peng Kun, but Li Hao didn't know the handwriting of these two people after all, and could only confirm it through the titles on the bamboo slips.
But it doesn't matter if Li Hao doesn't know it, I don't know how many of these two people usually handed to the palace, and these two people don't have the ability of Lou Niu, they can write more than ten or twenty fonts, as long as they turn it out and compare it, it will be clear.
However, it is somewhat inconvenient to go directly to the palace to find Song Shu to see without explanation.
Fortunately, this is not only in the palace, but also in the east palace, so it is much easier to see things there.
It's just that Li Hao is inconvenient to go out now, so he asked Yuan Shen to call him and let him see these bamboo slips.
After Yuan Shen saw it, he was immediately shocked: "No, the Marquis of Chengyang is actually the culprit who caused the destruction of the lonely city in the first place, and he and the Huo family are in-laws!"
Li Hao replied: "It's really harmful these days, and you still care if it's a relative, what you said is so unreasonable.
However, I can't be sure that this is the truth yet, after all, I can't be sure that this is what Ling Yi wrote.
I came to you to ask you to find an excuse to go to the East Palace and look through Ling Yi's recitals
, right to handwriting."
Yuan Shen did not object to Li Hao's request, and directly agreed, because he himself wanted to know the truth of this matter.
Immediately, he didn't even ask about the origin of this thing, so he took one of the bamboo slips signed Ling Yi and went directly to the East Palace.
Li Hao waited in the mansion for more than an hour, and Yuan Shen returned to the mansion with a solemn expression, and said to Li Hao: "Confirm, this is indeed the handwriting of the Marquis of Chengyang, there is no doubt that he is really the culprit of the destruction of the lonely city."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Shen let out a long sigh, and Li Hao asked curiously when he saw this, "What's the matter, what are you doing with so much emotion when Ling Yi committed a crime?"
Yuan Shen replied, "It's not for myself, but I thought of Ling Zicheng, if he knew that the mastermind behind the investigation would be his father, I don't know how sad he would be in his heart."
Seeing that Yuan Shen was worried about Ling Budo, Li Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "You are selling cloth in the dyeing workshop - worrying blindly, as far as the current relationship between Ling Zicheng and Ling Yi is concerned, why do you think that he will be sad because of this, and Ling Zicheng really doesn't know anything about this matter......
Hearing this, Yuan Shen was stunned for a moment, as if he was living the relationship between Ling Yi and Ling Budo in his mind, and then replied, "If you want to say that, Ling Zicheng is indeed too distant from Ling Yi, could it be that he really knows something.
But if he knows the truth, then why don't he ask His Majesty for advice, with His Majesty's favor for him and his feelings for General Huo Chong, he will definitely investigate this matter strictly."
Although Li Hao knew that this was the reason, there was no need to tell Yuan Shen, and this time there was no Cheng Shaoshang to reveal Ling Budo's identity, and he didn't know how he would explain Ling Yi's sins, and revealed that he was Huo Chong's son.
So he just said, "I don't know about this, and it has nothing to do with us, now you have to think about how to get this thing into the hands of the right person, after all, after a busy day, this favor has to be earned."
