Chapter 546: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

Li Chenxi, the eldest son of Li Wenhou, the head of the household department, asks to see!

Liu Chu and Huang Sanlie glanced at each other, and there was some surprise in each other's eyes.

Liu Chu looked up at the night sky, it was late at this time, and this Li Gongzi came at this time...... I'm afraid he just arrived at Chongqing Mansion!

What else could be so urgent?

It must have something to do with Li Chenan.

Liu Chu and Li Wenhou know each other, but their friendship with each other is not very deep, after all, Li Wenhou is a Beijing official, and he also holds the post of secretary of the household department.

He was just a prefect of Guangling City before.

But in any case, this son of Shangshu Mansion must be seen.

"Do you want to avoid it?"

Huang Sanlie pondered for a moment and nodded, got up, and went to a study next to him.

Cai Yutang took Li Chenxi to this pavilion in the backyard, and Li Chenxi bowed, "Hello uncle!" ”

Liu Chu got up and helped him with a smile:

"Good nephew...... Please be seated! ”

"Uncle Xie!"

Li Chenxi sat down, didn't say anything polite, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Xi:

"My father asked my little nephew to send a letter to my uncle."

Liu Chu took it and didn't take it apart immediately, but asked, "I haven't met Master Li for many years, is Lord Li okay in Kyoto?" ”

"Back to my uncle, my father is still busy, busier than before, so I go home late every day......"

He stretched out his hand to take the teacup handed over by Liu Xi, and said: "My father has never complained about state affairs, even if he talks about it occasionally, it is also to his cousin...... That is, some of the regent's national policies occasionally complained. ”

"However, the little nephew can also see that his father is still a little worried."

"I thought that the regent's national policy was too radical, which made my father a little worried about the consequences, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Liu Chu raised his eyes and looked at Li Chenxi, "Then what do you think?" ”

"My father seems to be very worried about my cousin's safety in Shuzhou!"

"For this, I can't even sleep at night!"

Liu Chu's heart sank, and sure enough, it was so.

He didn't say anything, and listened to Li Chenxi say again: "Actually, after my cousin entered Kyoto, I came to the Li Mansion once. ”

"At that time, he was not a regent, and it was not a pleasure to talk to his father."

"My father said a word, he said...... You shouldn't come to Shuzhou! ”

"Then, my father and my uncle even plotted to kidnap my cousin and send him away, but it didn't work, and my cousin still stayed in Kyoto, so he became the regent."

"I thought that my father would be at ease in this way, but unexpectedly, my father was even more worried...... My father asked my little nephew to come and see my uncle non-stop, and I think this is roughly related to my cousin's imminent arrival in Shuzhou. ”

Liu Chu didn't expect that Li Wenhou didn't want Li Chenan to go to Kyoto from beginning to end.

Why is that?

Li Wenhou obviously knows something.

However, although Li Chenan was famous at that time, he was only famous, and he did not pose a threat to anyone.

Where is Li Wenhou's concern at this time?

Liu Chu sighed in his heart, could it be Li Chen'an's life experience?

Could it be that Li Chenan is really not the son of Li Wenhan in Guangling City?

Otherwise, where does Li Wenhou's worries come from?

Later, Li Chen'an became the regent of Ning Kingdom, and he actually had the greatest power in Ning Kingdom, and no one in Ning Kingdom could threaten him!

At this time, Li Wenhou should have been relieved.

But apparently Li Wenhou was even more worried, otherwise, he would not let his son come to Shuzhou all the way.

Liu Chu is now beginning to believe that Huang Sanlie's words have some truth.

Because what can threaten Li Chenan's life is probably Zhongli Mansion in Shuzhou.

Now Liu Chu has four difficult mysteries in his mind:

Whose son is Li Chenan?

Why did Mrs. Fan kill Li Chen'an?

If Old Madam Fan wants to kill Li Chen'an, why didn't she kill Li Chen'an before he became the regent and stayed until now?

Now that Mrs. Fan is dead, where is the bureau where she killed Li Chen'an again?

"I see, why don't you stay with me tonight?"

"Thank you uncle, the little nephew is going to visit someone at the behest of my father."

"Who?"

"Wen Weng Xue Palace's Mei Fang Ximei Boss Confucian!"

Liu Chu bowed slightly, this Mei Lao Ru and Mr. Chunfu are old, and now he is not a courtyard in the Wenweng School Palace, but a teacher.

But this old man's prestige in the entire Shuzhou is extremely high, after all, the Wenweng Palace is the highest institution of learning in Shuzhou.

Coupled with Mr. Mei's erudition and the name of Confucianism, in the past few decades, Taoli has at least been full of Shuzhou.

Li Wenhou asked his son to visit Mei Fangxi again, and it was obvious that Li Chen'an's entry into Shuzhou had exceeded what Liu Chu had thought before.

Li Chenxi got up to say goodbye, Liu Chu got up and watched, and Cai Yutang led him out.

Liu Chu's eyes were also full of worry at the moment, he looked up at the bright night sky, did not sit down, and did not open the letter for the time being.

He tucked the letter into his bosom and turned to walk to the study next to him.

Huang Sanlie is making tea.

At this moment, he raised his eyes and asked: "Also here for Li Chen'an's safety?" ”

Liu Chu nodded and sat opposite Huang Sanlie, and repeated what Li Chenxi said to Huang Sanlie, and then asked:

"What is the second point of what the old marquis thinks is unreasonable?"

Huang Sanlie poured tea and said, "The second point is the change in Kyoto!" ”

"At the time of the Kyoto Change, the old lord was not in Shuzhou, but was on his way to Huaishan County with 30,000 Shu soldiers on the ship of the Guangling Water Division."

"Regardless of the strangeness of Kyoto's changes...... At that time, it was winter, and the third lady had just recovered from a serious illness, she was not suitable for a long journey at all, let alone to come to this cold Shuzhou! ”

"The best way is to let the third lady go to Guangling City, or send it to Jiangnan."

"But the old lady didn't do this, but asked Sikong Leopard and others to escort the third lady and the rest of the young ladies from Zhongli Mansion to Shuzhou!"

Huang Sanlie raised his eyes and looked at Liu Chu, "The love between Li Chenan and the third miss is stronger than Jin, the third miss went to Shuzhou, according to Li Chenan's character, he will definitely come to Shuzhou!" ”

"Although he came to Shuzhou to welcome the emperor's eldest son, in the eyes of the master, the third lady in Shuzhou is the key to Li Chen'an's coming to Shuzhou!"

He leaned over, and his face became more serious: "The master thinks that the third lady is one of the most important bait, and it is Li Chen'an who wants to catch this fish!" ”

"Li Chen'an, this fish is here!"

"But what method is going to be used to kill Li Chenan...... The master doesn't know yet, as you said, in Zhongli Mansion and Zhongli Garden in this Chongqing Mansion, all the people in Zhongli's house don't know at this time! ”

"But the master thinks that the place where Li Chen'an was killed will not change!"

Liu was taken aback, "Where will it be?" ”

"On the west mountain of Yinping County, in front of Jishan Temple!"

“…… Why did you choose this place? ”

"Because this place is where Li Chenan wants to meet the emperor's eldest son!"

"Why didn't the old lady kill Li Chenan when she was alive?"

"The lord thinks that when Li Chenan goes to Xishan, Xi Wei will definitely appear!"

Liu Xi was stunned for a moment: "Two birds with one stone? ”

"Yes, it's for this two-pronged game! Li Chenan and Xi Wei are dead, and the eldest son of the emperor can ascend the throne as the emperor unharmed! ”

“…… Who is the eldest son of the emperor? ”

Huang Sanlie shook his head: "I'm afraid that except for the old lady and He Xishan, no one knows!" ”

Liu Chu was shocked again, and asked in a low voice: "So, on that winter night in the third year of Zhaohua, the disappearance of the emperor's eldest son, was the old lady involved?" ”

Huang Sanlie sighed three times, "That's right! ”

"What can I do for the Regent?"

Huang Sanlie raised his glass and took a sip of tea, "I also have some old people in Shuzhou, after the regent arrived in Chongqing Mansion...... You can invite him over for a cup of tea. ”

“…… Good! ”
