When the black-robed man heard this, he said, "My subordinates have personally carefully inspected the clothes and clothes of the stump, the size, and the traces next to the carriage and horses......"

"I'm sure you're doing things, but these can be confused." King Rong said: "There are always doubts in this matter. ”

This is undeniable, this man in black has always been trusted by the Rong King, and at this moment he answered: "If it is not Yu Zeng who died, then someone took advantage of the chaos to take him away and forged the illusion of being killed for him...... But who would do that? ”

"If you go to such great lengths to create an illusion, it will definitely not be Ming's." Li Yin said slowly: "At this moment, she has probably decided that Yu Zeng is dead, and I have successfully succeeded." ”

The illusion created by the person behind it was not only for him, but also for Ming.

It's just that in this matter, he has the advantage of distinguishing the truth from the false than the Ming clan, because he knows very well that his people have missed.

The black-robed man twisted his eyebrows and pondered, "Could it be that Yu Zeng had prepared in advance and pushed the boat down the river to get out of chaos?" ”

King Rong shook his head: "Outside of the Jingshi, he shouldn't have such great ability, which can be enough for him to quietly get out of the eyes of this king and the Ming clan." ”

If you want to know who did it, you have to think carefully, who is better off to keep Yu Zeng? In other words, what is the value of Yu Zeng's life?

broke away from the heavy identity of Si Gongtai, and the only thing left of Yu Zeng was secretly implicated with him...... And the heaviest part of this layer of implication is probably the incident about Ah Shang back then......

Li Yin can think of this, not out of thin air-

He thought of the jade shavings that mysteriously disappeared in Beijing two years ago.

He had long wanted to get rid of the jade dust, but he had never been able to find the opportunity, the jade dust was confused, but he was extremely vigilant, and he never wanted to take half a step out of the eldest princess's mansion. In those years, he was still subject to the Ming clan, and any action in the capital master had the possibility of causing trouble, and Jade Dust was not the one who knew the whole truth, and the threat she could bring could still be controlled by Yu Zeng.

Under this premise, if he stretched out his hand to the eldest princess's mansion to take risks, if he was not careful, it would be easier for him to take the initiative to expose the events of the year, which would only backfire and outweigh the losses.

So he only secretly asked people to take turns monitoring the movements of the jade shavings near the eldest princess's mansion, one to control the movement of the jade shavings, and the other to wait for an opportunity to make a move that would not arouse suspicion.

And just two years ago, the jade shavings suddenly made an unusual move, took the initiative to leave the eldest princess's mansion, and fell into the river "extremely coincidentally", dodging the kill, and since then there has been no clue, and even the Ming family has not been able to track down anything.

Everything happened on that day by coincidence, even seamlessly.

In the past two years, he would think about this from time to time, but everything was calm, and there was not the slightest suspicious rumor.

He was even thinking that the disappearance of the jade shavings was just a coincidence...... To this day, Yu Zeng's incident has also given him the same strange feeling.

Therefore, can he guess that two years ago, someone had learned about Yu Zeng's secret letter from the jade shavings, and found Yu Zeng, so he took the opportunity to take Yu Zeng away this time?

If this assumption is true, who would this person be?

Who would have unwarranted suspicion of Ashan's death? After many years, still trying to explore the past? And have the ability to take away Yu Zeng?

Ashan's old ministry?

Li Yin pondered for a moment, and Chang Kuo's face appeared in his mind.

In the battle with Beidi that year, Chang Kuo was the commander of the troops, and it was he who brought back the remains of Ah Shang...... Did you see or hear something at that time, so you were suspicious?

And now Chang Kuo's daughter rules the entire Huainan Road, and Tangzhou has just come out of the boundary of Huainan Road...... If Chang Kuo had been prepared, then he did have the ability to take Yu Zeng away.

As this speculation gradually took shape in his heart, Li Yin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing that he no longer spoke, as if he had reached a conclusion, the man in black felt uneasy and bowed his head again to plead guilty.

"The enemy is dark and I am clear, and the yellow finch is behind...... It's inevitable to miss. There was still no anger in Li Yin's voice, and he only said: "Retreat and take ten rods yourself, just be careful next time." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The black-robed man was moved and ashamed, and bowed and retreated.

Li Yin looked at the scene in the garden, and after a while, a respectful voice sounded from behind: "Father." ”

"Lu'er is here." Li Yin smiled and sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, and raised his hand to signal Li Lu to sit down as well.

There was a chessboard on the stone table, and Li Lu understood, and after sitting down, he played against his father.

Between the sons, Li Lu said warmly: "My father has rarely had such a quiet time recently. ”

"Yes, you and I, father and son, haven't sat like this in months."

"These days, my father is really hardworking." Li Lu showed shame on his face: "The son is incompetent and unfilial, and there are few times when he can share his father's worries." ”

King Rong shook his head when he heard this, and sighed slightly: "My son is sensitive and wise, but there is only one bad ......."

As he spoke, he left a son before continuing: "Treat yourself too harshly, and you don't know how to cherish yourself. ”

"Over the years, you have been trapped in Jingshi, and you have helped your father a lot." King Rong's face was kind, and his eyes were full of fatherly love: "You can return to Yizhou safely, and your mother and I are already satisfied." ”

"As for those trivial matters, how can my son's health matter? When you take care of your body, there will naturally be no shortage of opportunities to help share your father's worries in the future. ”

Li Lu then replied "yes".

Compared with the Confucianism that is now admired, his father Li Yin prefers Taoist cultivation, so he always gives people a sense of casual and casual appearance, and he never treats him with a strict attitude and pressure from patriarchal scrutiny, and never hesitates to appreciate his strengths and affirm his contributions.

Before his father was transferred out of Beijing, his father often carried him on his shoulders as a young man, taught him to blow the flute, carried him on horseback, and carved wooden swords for him......

And his father never had any children, and he respected his mother very much, and he was the only son, who gave him all his eyes as a father.

In this way, he seems to be lucky to have the best father in the world.

He used to think so, so even though he was forced by circumstances to become calculating, he never divided between you and me with his father in his heart, so he did his best, obeyed his father's advice, and really regarded his father's affairs as his own, and never complained......

But now, he is far less certain than he once was.

Li Lu slowly exhaled in his heart, his face did not show any difference, and he was still polite and peaceful.

During the game, Li Lu took the initiative to talk to his father about the current situation, and King Rong was not perfunctory.

At the end, King Rong said: "The most commonly heard thing in recent days is that Chang Suining, the capital of Jiangdu, was promoted to the assassin of Huainan Province——"

Hearing Chang Suining's name, Li Lu's eyes changed slightly: "Yes." ”

"Before that, you asked your father to wait and see for a while, calling him a rare genius in a thousand miles...... Now, it seems, that is. ”

King Rong smiled in his eyes and looked appreciative: "She is indeed very good, she has such amazing achievements at such a young age, and she is both wise and brave, which is comparable to my nephew Li Xiao." ”

As he spoke, he smiled and asked Li Lu: "You should have written to her more than once to try to persuade her, has she ever responded?" ”

Li Lu lowered his eyes slightly: "Back to my father, there is no response for the time being." ”

The faint smile in King Rong's eyes did not change, and his tone was casual but determined: "It seems that this person will not be willing to be used by my Rong Wang's Mansion." ”

"Father's ......" Li Lu hurriedly said: "It was her son's inappropriate behavior and improper methods before, which made her feel disgusted and estranged, and she may not be able to ...... after a while."

King Rong shook his head slightly, interrupted Li Lu's words, and said, "She is not the only one involved, but also her father Chang Kuo. ”

"She's still young, or maybe there's a chance of convincing her. But her father is always broad and upright, and once he decides, it will be difficult to change it-"

Li Lu was keenly aware of the change in his father's attitude, and couldn't help but say, "But my father was willing to give the Chang family more time before......"

As far as his father is concerned, even if the Chang family can't be used by the Rong Wangfu, if there is one more force that divides the world, it will not be harmful to the Rong Wangfu.

"That was what I thought before, and now it seems that things have changed." King Rong said: "One, that Chang Sui Ning rose much faster than ordinary people, in just two years, he was in the position of the envoy of the festival, and now he has more than 100,000 troops. What's even worse is that she is now quite famous among the common literati, and not long ago, Zheng Chao in Xingyang was also under her disciple...... Those Jiangnan families were also quite convinced by her. ”

"Moreover, judging from her actions, although she has ambitions, she is not the talent I need in troubled times." King Rong's eyes seemed to see the change in the situation due to the girl through the chess game: "She killed Xu Zhengye, pacified Jiangnan, killed the Japanese enemy, and helped Dongluo sweep away the civil strife...... even set up a bureau to kill Kangding Mountain, helping Cui Jing to solve the problem of Kanto for the imperial court with the method of not cutting blood. ”

When King Rong said this, his eyes overflowed with admiration and regret at the same time: "The piles and piles she has done are for the sake of the situation, not the troubled times." ”

It is extremely rare for such people to have outstanding ability, but refuse to conform to the general trend, but choose to go against the general trend.

From it, he vaguely saw a little bit of the old image of Ashan...... This obviously does not bode well.

"Such a person, if she is strengthened, will only be an obstacle in the future." King Rong said: "Don't raise a tiger because of a momentary talent." ”

His tone was not heavy, but Li Lu had already glimpsed the murderous aura from his father's chess move.

Li Luwei clenched the chess pieces in his hand, raised his head and said, "Father, son thinks ......"

"Lu'er." King Rong also raised his eyes, his gaze was still peaceful, but Li Lu was subconsciously silenced.

"No matter how powerful you are, there are always things in this world that cannot be tamed by birth." King Rong said in a tone of earnest instruction: "My father knows that although you are weak, your mind is better and stronger than ordinary people. But sometimes if you are too attached to one thing, that thing will become a demonic obstacle in your heart, making people lose the ability to see things objectively, and if you can't tame them, you will become the puppet of the other party——"

Facing the pair of eyes that were not sharp, Li Lu suddenly had a feeling of being completely seen through.

King Rong turned his gaze back to the chess game and devoured a son again: "In the face of such uncontrollable and uncontrollable people and things, the only way to eliminate all hidden dangers can we only kill them as soon as possible." ”

At this point, Li Lu knew that he could no longer speak out to stop him, and after a moment, he responded in a teachable tone: "Yes, thank you for your father's teachings, Lu must be remembered." ”

King Rong also had a reason that he didn't say clearly, that is, he suspected that Chang Kuo had taken Yu Zeng away and touched the inside story of Li Shang's death back then-

For him, that incident really did not fit to be brought up again.

With all these unfavorable hidden dangers in front of us, it is the safest choice to get rid of Chang Kuo's father and daughter as soon as possible.

At the end of the game, the winner has been divided on the chessboard.

Li Lu smiled ashamedly: "The father is far-sighted step by step, and the son loses." ”

King Rong smiled and said, "When my father was your age, he was not as good as you. ”

The father and son gossiped a few words, and King Rong reminded: "If you are free, go and see your mother more." ”

Li Lu responded with "yes", after staying up on a winter day last year, his mother's body had just improved, but now it is not as good as one day.

Knowing that his father was busy, Li Lu got up at the right time to give a salute, and before leaving, he thought about it and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask my father, how will Ma Wan deal with ......"

King Rong obviously didn't care about the existence of Ma Wan's chess piece, and only smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Although there are contradictions in the position, but she is the wife you are marrying, how to deal with it, keep it or make good use of it, you can make your own decisions." ”

Li Lu lowered his eyes: "Yes, thank you father." ”

His father had always been like this, and within the bottom line, he would always give him enough power to make his own decisions, so he never felt oppressed before.

On the way out, Li Lu's mind flashed Ma Wan's uneasy face.

Yes, he should have left people to good use.

After all, there are too few things that he can really control and use now.

Princess Rong believed in Buddhism for many years, and King Rong built a Buddhist hall in the palace for his wife.

Princess Rong is now terminally ill and it is difficult for her to get out of bed and walk around, but there is still incense in the Buddhist hall.

An extremely thin figure is kneeling in the Buddhist hall at the moment and copying scriptures. The maid who was grinding for her on the side looked numb and stunned, her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't know how many times she cried.

The person who copied the scriptures was none other than Ma Wan.

Since the end of last year, after she acted according to the instructions of her grandfather and the saint, Rong Wangfu let her stay in this Buddhist hall for four months on the grounds that she had asked her daughter-in-law to copy scriptures and pray for her mother-in-law.

She knew that this was house arrest in disguise.

In the past four months, her words could not be transmitted from here, and the news from outside could not reach half a sentence.

This kind of behavior, which did not even ask questions and clarify the fate of the situation, and did not give her any chance to speak, made her more and more tormented. Out of self-preservation, she didn't dare to take the initiative to have radical words and deeds before the attitude of King Rong's mansion was clear, but day after day, she didn't know how long such days would last.

She thought about it a lot and looked forward to it for a long time, but she never looked forward to the person she wanted to see.

Could it be that Rong Wangfu plans to trap her for the rest of her life? And what about him? What did he think?

Ma Wan absentmindedly copied the scriptures, and outside the normally quiet Buddhist hall, there was a sudden movement.

"I've seen the ...... of the world"

The salute of the person in charge of the guard reached Ma Wan's ears.

Ma Wan's pen copied the scriptures, and a cloud of ink was spilled under the pen, she put the pen down, and immediately stood up—it was him!
