Rong Zhi said at this time: "I don't know how His Highness plans to punish these nobles. ”

"If the situation is serious, they will be killed directly, and if the situation is slightly lighter, they will be exiled, and those who are willing to turn themselves in will be demoted to concubines." In short, if you do something like this, don't think about knighthood.

Rong Zhi was not surprised by this result, and nodded, "Since this is the case, then you can't use a soft method, Yi Weichen's suggestion is to break it quickly and send all the relevant personnel to prison overnight, so as not to cause them to react." ”

"If that's the case, then it's important to know who's involved." Chu Fuchao said.

"It's easy." Rong Zhi looked at Li Shengxun and said, "Let's go all according to our original plan first, and as for the slaves, let's postpone it for the time being, so that they think that His Highness doesn't know about it."

Then, the people were turned into slaves, and eighty percent of this matter was still written by the household department, and the people who had participated in this matter were secretly detained and interrogated.

As soon as the matter of demotion is resolved, we also know about those people who are involved in this matter. Combined, you can lock on to your target and send them to prison. ”

Chu Fuchao nodded when he heard this, "This plan is feasible, in this way, you only need to block today's news, anyway, Hui Guogong was also imprisoned for offending the first emperor." However, the matter of freeing slaves will be put on hold for the time being. ”

When Li Shengxian heard this, he also nodded, this is the best way, otherwise, if these nobles are united and regenerate, it will only affect more people.

After Li Shengxian finished speaking, everyone went to do it, except for Chu Fuchao, who was taken back to his house by Li Shengxian.

"Now let's talk about why you really chose me."

Chu Fuchao looked around, but the smiling expression in the past was a lot more serious at the moment.

"There is one thing that I have never reported to His Highness, and there is an important reason why I chose to serve His Highness."

"Say." Li Shengxian wanted to see what he could say.

"Your Royal Highness, Weichen is a native of Lingzhou, Hongxing 20 years, Weichen's youngest son disappeared in Lingzhou, Weichen entrusted the relationship to find a private search, and finally at the foot of the mountain, found a corner of the cloth hanging on the branches. The result given by the official uniform is that the child is eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.

As a result, Wechen originally believed it, but his wife didn't want to believe it, Wechen had no choice but to ask to patrol the mountain again, but he was told by the government that this place was a Lingzhou mine, and he couldn't set foot at will.

After a year, the life and death of the child may be unpredictable, but the court is so covered, if the child dies and there is another hidden secret, I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the mine. Weichen had no way to ask for help, so he could only come to His Highness. I also hope that His Royal Highness will find justice for Weichen's dead child. ”

In a place like the mine, it is true that you can only go to a place with the approval of the government, but with Chu Fuchao's tactfulness and connections, it is impossible not to get an approval document, and this matter is obviously because someone does not want Chu Fuchao to investigate it again.

If he wants to check again, he must have someone who can help him, and Li Shengxian is indeed a good choice.

"In that case, why didn't you say it at the beginning, why did you choose to show favor first, and then talk about the inside story." Li Shengxun continued to ask.

"Since this matter can be kept secretive by so many people, there must be taboos. Weichen is just a courtier, how can he easily let His Highness commit this taboo. Chu Fuchao explained.

"So, you chose to show your loyalty first?" Li Shengxing narrowed his eyes.

Chu Fuchao nodded.

Li Shengxi looked at Chu Fuchao quietly, such a thing seemed to be something that Chu Fuchao had done. He's good at figuring out people's hearts, and he's good at starting from the pros and cons, and it doesn't seem surprising that he can do such a thing.

"In addition, the matter is very large, and Weichen does not dare to explain it easily."

"Why don't you go and ask King Li for help?" Li Shengxi said.

"Weichen and King Li are not close, not to mention, if you want to choose this matter, Your Highness is the best choice. King Li is powerful, but he is far inferior to His Royal Highness, he is more qualified. Now King Li wants to compete with His Royal Highness more for power, even if he asks for help from King Li, King Li is also lacking in skills. Unless the matter is related to His Highness, he may be willing to look into it. But if you can't find it, it's still two words.

What's more, Weichen didn't dare to determine who had anything to do with it, and the court sent Weichen to come. ”

"And a backhand, right?" Li Shengxing looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

"I can't hide it from Your Highness." Chu Fuchao nodded, and he continued: "Weichen has left someone in Linxi, if Weichen dies in sight, then this matter will be immediately informed to His Royal Highness King Li." ”

It's also in line with his style.

Bet on both ends, bet with your life.

He lowered his head at this time, just to express his respect and humility to Li Shengxian, if Li Shengxian told him to raise his head at this time, maybe he could see the threat and persistence in his eyes.

Li Shengxian finally let Chu Fuchao retreat, she didn't fully trust him for the time being, but at least Chu Fuchao's words were enough to save his own life.

Assuming that what Chu Fuchao said is true, the place where the child's accident happened was in Lingzhou, or near the mine.

And since the Lingzhou incident came out, the Lingzhou assassin history has changed, and this matter is likely to involve Li Rui.

How powerful was the King of Chu back then? She is not much inferior to today.

Li Rui relied on his father, and he himself was quite skillful, so under such circumstances, it seemed reasonable to infiltrate some officials.

And Chu Fu is beyond his body, and he wants to go against Li Rui, which is really a mayfly shaking the tree. Not to mention Chu Fuchao, it is King Li, and it may be difficult to match Li Rui in the dark.

And because Chu Fuchao is the person who the imperial court is about to send to check and balance her, and because the imperial court has been tracking down the old people of the King of Chu some time ago.

So even if Chu Fuchao was suspicious, they didn't do too much, and Chu Fuchao was good at covering himself up and playing with people's hearts, so they probably thought that Chu Fuchao had given up on the matter.

However, there is a premise that Chu Fuchao did not lie about this matter, he said the truth.

Of course, there is another possibility, maybe Chu Fuchao himself is Li Rui's person, and it is impossible to say if he deliberately came to deceive her.

Some things can be sloppy, but this one is definitely not okay.

Li Sheng's eyes dimmed slightly, and she summoned Yue Mingyun and asked her to send someone to check whether Chu Fuchao belonged to the truth.

He also asked someone to help write a letter and sent a letter to Li Xun, asking him to send someone to Lingzhou to check and see if there were any secrets in that mine.
