Chapter 202: Affection

"Was it your own idea to inspect the riverbank that day, or did someone else hint at you?" Li Xun's whereabouts on that day were actually known to many people, and when the prince traveled, the defense must always be proper.

She had already seen the relevant defense arrangements before, and the reason why Li Xun had an accident was indeed due to Xu Huanzhi's mistakes, but the other party's layout was also very clever.

Li Xun's inspection of the river embankment was a decision made the day before, and it is estimated that he received the news from the beginning of such a sophisticated ambush, and even said that he received the news earlier.

"It was my own idea to inspect the embankment, and I can't hide it, this idea was not improvised, I had this plan before this, and I didn't hide it from others." As a prince, it is a matter of people's livelihood, and he always has to take care of one or two.

Li Shengxian lowered her eyes, it was true, she had forgotten, this matter itself was easy to guess. Where do you need others to induce?

"Auntie is suspicious of someone close to me?" Li Xun understood the meaning of Li Sheng's words, and he was a little incredulous, "My cronies were tied to the ship of the East Palace early, if they want to harm me, it will really outweigh the losses. And most of the people around me have relatives in Beijing, so they shouldn't disregard their relatives."

The people around him are carefully selected, and it is unlikely that something will go wrong. Even most of the palace maids and chamberlains are related, not careless.

"If there are those who are worried about Beijing, it may not be impossible for them to have any accidents. Your companion may be more appropriate, but your chamberlains and court maids may not." Li Shengxing shook his head.

Companions, teachers, those people are all big families in Beijing, and under the intertwined roots, it is difficult to fake their identities. But the chamberlain and the palace maid are different.

It's not that Li Sheng's attack is too hearty. It's just that this game has been laid out for a long time, and Li Shengxi herself has been an undercover agent, so for her, sometimes it is extremely simple to get a fake identity.

After Li Xun's accident occurred, Guo Yushi and Li Shengxi went to investigate one after another. And the relevant personnel in Wangjing, Emperor Hongxing, who wants to come to Beijing, will not let go.

But they cast a wide net like this with little effect, so they still have to interrogate Li Xun.

The two talked for a long time, and just as Li Shengxi told Li Xun to have a good rest, suddenly an internal guard walked in, and he leaned over and whispered in Liujin's ear.

Stay here and hurry to report.

Li Shengxi's expression was cold, "Then let them watch it, make sure that everyone gets the stolen goods, so that he has no defense."

"What's wrong? Auntie." Watching the two of them play dumb riddles, Li Xun couldn't help but ask.

Li Shengxing shook his head, "I told you before. The people who hurt you are not Qi people, except that the situation in Northern Qi is not capable of raising secret agents, there are also other reasons."

Li Xun was puzzled.

Li Shengxi told Li Xun about smuggling.

Rong Zhi, who was standing on the side, was slightly surprised, and after listening to Li Sheng's story, his face was a lot more ugly. Li Shengxing had a lot of speculations that he didn't say, but as an investigator with Li Shengxian, there were some things that he could figure out without Li Shengxing talking about it in detail.

"There were people in the Southern Jin Dynasty who smuggled armaments to the Northern Qi, and the people who assassinated me in the first place used the armaments of the Northern Qi. In this way, it makes sense. In this case, as long as you dig up the smugglers in this Hongyin Mansion, you may be able to solve everything." Li Xun analyzed, he paused, and hesitated a little, "Auntie, if someone has been smuggling in the Southern Jin Dynasty for many years, then the Shen Governor's Mansion ......

Li Shengxing nodded, "There's no way he's out of it."

Shen Jichuan is the prefect of Hongyin, although his ability is mediocre, but he is not mediocre to this point. If it weren't for collusion, how could there have been no movement for so many years.

"It doesn't look like it." Li Xun murmured softly, he didn't have much affection for this cousin, but he also knew the mediocrity of this cousin, including the time he came to Hongyin, if it weren't for Shen Jichuan being his cousin, such a mediocre talent, he would want to remove his position as prefect, in the end, the people around him held him down, thinking that Shen Jichuan has been able to sit in this position all these years, in addition to the identity of his relatives, he also has his own ability.

I didn't think about it, and I still violated the law of the country.

"Maybe it's just someone else's pawn. All in all, he's a big part of the game." If it weren't for the Hongyin prefect to cover it up, the smuggling would not have gone so smoothly.

Compared with the harmony of this pair of aunts and nephews, Shen Jichuan is much more anxious.

Ever since the crown prince had an accident and the saint sent Guo Yushi, he had been uneasy. He wanted to destroy something, but when the prince had an accident, the internal guards controlled Hongyin in time, and he hardly dared to make a big move.

It took him a lot of effort to barely destroy some of the evidence. Unexpectedly, Li Shengxian actually came. And the first day he came, he was so vigorous. Obviously assassinated in the morning, she was like a nobody, and took power with lightning speed. Although he now has the name of the prefect, the power is firmly grasped by Li Shengxi.

There are internal guards in the government, and he doesn't even have a chance to intervene.

Now that he finally found a glimmer of opportunity, he found a gap and came out and met someone.

"Shen Zhifu."

"What did your general say? Now that the eldest princess is in power, Hongyin is held in her hands up and down. If the eldest princess finds out about that idea, it will be a matter of the Nine Clans." Shen Jichuan didn't have time to play Tai Chi with that person, he said in a hurry.

The man didn't seem to care, he said half-mockingly: "Shen Zhifu is also the cousin of the eldest princess, he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, there is the love between the late Queen Mother and the prince of the late Pingguo, why should you worry?"

"My favor is already the face of the Queen Mother, if it weren't for the Queen Mother, I wouldn't be the prefect of Hongyin. As for my eldest brother, his affection is naturally reserved for my nephew, what does it have to do with me? Besides, isn't your general also the eldest princess's old department, and when you see the East Window incident, she can't behead your general." Shen Jichuan scoffed.

He didn't think he was that heavy. The eldest brother does have face in the eldest princess. But if he did such a thing, the eldest princess was afraid that she would think that he had insulted the eldest brother's face, and it would be good if she didn't slash him with a knife, but what about the face?

The man was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Shen Jichuan was sometimes too self-aware.

He cleared his throat and no longer had to argue with Shen Jichuan, he said, "The general's side is naturally appropriate, and Governor Shen doesn't have to worry. The important thing is that on the side of the Shen Governor's Mansion, even though the eldest princess is in a high position, she is still out of reach of the general for the time being. But you, Governor Shen, if you don't resist now, I'm afraid that you will never lose the power to resist."

Plus more, a little busy in the afternoon. Thank you very much for the monthly pass and tip. (><)。
