Carefree Scholar Chapter 902: Successive visits
It seemed that the princess and Shizi were not expected to be here. After sitting down, Zeng Shichun lowered his head to drink tea without speaking.
Li Xuan glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there something wrong with this adult?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Master Zeng, you can talk about it."
Li Xuan looked at him, then looked at Zeng Shichun, it seemed that he understood something, then frowned, and asked: "You actually asked me what's the matter, don't you know why we came to you? ?"
Li Yi shook his head, "For what..., tell me in advance. If the Academy of Sciences has no funds, I won't find me. I will borrow from Mingzhu. My family spends a lot of money, and she can't spend her money."
"Qingjun side!"
Li Xuan patted the table and said: "Then Old Man Chu will take the lead to clear the emperor's side for the emperor's uncle, Zhu Ningchen, you are the one who is clear, are you still sitting here and drinking tea?"
He said with some irritation: "Although the old man Chu is respected and the Chu family has an extraordinary influence in the official Lin, there is almost no flaw in it, but you can't just sit and wait..."
"It's not impossible to find any flaws." Zeng Shichun put down the tea cup, looked at Li Xuan and said: "His Royal Highness did not know. The disappearance case of the woman that was solved a few days ago was in Peng's house. I was captured on the spot, only because someone exerted some force on it, it didn’t stop..."
Li Yi and Li Mingzhu did not show much unexpected expressions, but Li Xuan was taken aback, stood up suddenly, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Zeng Shichun nodded. Seeing the expressions of Li Yi and the princess, he knew that the Cui family had taken it for granted last time. Even if he did not speak, he could not hide it from them.
Li Xuan frowned, paced in the hall, and muttered: "But this alone can't bring down Chu's family. In case it annoys Old Man Chu, it's not a good thing... , This old guy, what kind of "textuality" it is, shitfulness!"
"What if another murder case is added?" Zeng Shichun stood up and said, "Unfortunately, the murder case in the Miaoyin Pavilion on the night of the Lantern Festival is also related to that Young Master Chu."
The murder case was raging in Kyoto, and it hasn't been detected yet. Li Xuan also had some impressions of it, and asked: "What do you mean, it's not that the criminal was meant to be with Tai Fu's grandson. Harm..., you mean, that case was originally done by the surname Chu?"
Li Xuan walked up to him and asked: "If this is the case, why is there no news?"
"That's because Jing Zhaoyin Zeng Shichun, with Taifu Chu’s acquiescence, concealed the case and planted it on a roaming imperial criminal. Besides, the woman’s sister felt that the case was strange and was in Beijing. Zhaofu’s yamen redressed grievances, and he is still in prison."
Li Xuan was startled, with a puzzled and shocked expression on his face, pointed at him, and said, "You, aren't you Zeng Shichun?"
Zeng Shichun tidied his clothes, knelt in the direction of the princess, and said loudly: "The minister is guilty!"
"You..." Li Xuan pointed at him, speechless in shock, and in the end he just suffocated one sentence, "You traitor-------good traitor!"
"It turns out that you locked the woman in jail for this reason." Li Yiyi stood up, looked at him and asked: "Why didn't you talk about this matter before?"
Zeng Shichun raised her head and slowly said, "Time is not up."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked: "Do you know what the crime is?"
Zeng Shichun lowered her head and said: "No matter what the crime is, it is better than following the Cui family to a dead end."
Li Mingzhu looked at him and waved: "Get up and talk."
……
After listening to Zeng Shichun's words, the princess shook her head and said: "No wonder, no wonder he is so radical. There is no other way for Mrs. Chu to keep the name of Chu family."
Li Xuan slapped on the table and said angrily: "Cui Jiaran used such a despicable method, why didn't he tell Old Man Chu about this matter..."
Zeng Shichun shook her head and said, "The Chu family can no longer look back. Whether it was designed by the Cui family or not, Chu Ping committed the case. From the beginning to the end, the Cui family stayed out of the incident. On the one hand, it is impossible to bring down such a powerful family. What's more, the Cui family is far less simple than His Royal Highness on the surface."
"Qin He..." A suspicion appeared on Li Yi's face, and after moving his lips slightly, he looked at Zeng Shichun and asked, "What happened to the victim's sister?"
Zeng Shichun said: "In order to prevent the Cui family from killing her mouth, I have kept her in jail, but this time, if she is released, she will no longer be able to knock on the drum of Jing Zhaoyamen."
"Uncle, Liu Yi from the Criminal Ministry is here." Lao Fang came in from the outside a little strangely. What happened today? It's not a holiday. They all ran home...
Zeng Shichun looked back and said, "I will go back first."
"If there is anything, I will let someone contact you." Li Yi nodded, beckoned to Lao Fang, and said, "Send Master Zeng out the back door."
"Master Li." After Liu Yishou entered the door, he saluted Li Yi first, and was about to speak, when a voice rang in his ear.
"In your eyes, is there only Master Li?"
Liu Yishou was stunned. When he saw the two people behind Li Yi, he immediately bowed and said: "The official has seen the princess and the son!"
When he raised his head again, his mouth opened, but he didn't know if he should speak.
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the princess and the eldest son are his own, let's go, how is the case investigated?"
Liu Yi nodded and said: "The two missing women can already be confirmed that they have nothing to do with the Peng family. During the investigation, they accidentally discovered that they were missing near Gyeonggi in the past one or two years. Women and women are far beyond the past, but the places where they disappeared before are more scattered, involving more than a dozen counties, and there are not many missing persons in each county, but if they add up, it is an extremely terrible number..."
Li Yi frowned slightly, "So many people, are there no clues?"
Liu Yi shook his head and said: "All the clues were inexplicably broken after they extended to Kyoto. There is no useful discovery yet, and there is no direct evidence that these are related to the Cui family."
Li Xuan looked at him in surprise and asked: "Do you suspect that the Cui family is also engaged in abduction and sale of women?"
"I don't know..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether it is related to the Cui family, the two missing women should always be found with all their strength, otherwise, the case will not be over. "
He turned his head and looked at Liu Yishou, and said, "This case, you can continue to follow up."
"The subordinates will go back first." Liu Yi nodded, after walking a few steps, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, and then turned around and said: "My lord can deal with the corrupt confucians with all his strength, ignore the Cui family... …"
Li Xuan looked at the back of Liu Yishou leaving ~IndoMTL.com~ and turned around and said: "How do I feel that there is something in his words?"
Li Yi looked at him in surprise: "Can you still hear something in the words?"
Without waiting for Li Xuan to ask back, Lao Fang walked in with a look of surprise, looked at Li Yi, and said, "Auntie, someone is here again. It's the old man named Qin Xiang who visited last time." /
Li Xuan and Li Mingzhu looked at each other. The eldest princess in the regent was with the rumors of the country’s traitor, but it was not easy for the prime minister to see. Li Mingzhu looked at him and walked to the side of the screen with Li Xuan. .
The gray-haired old man stepped into the hall and said: "Sure enough, you are young and fearless. There are rumors from the outside world. You can actually sit still..."
Li Yi got up and clasped his fists: "Qin Xiang, please sit down."
"Sit and not sit, the old man came over today, just wanting to bring you a word." Qin Xiang stood at the door, looked at him calmly, and said, "Hold on what you think is right. Above, there are many discerning people, they will not watch, everything you and the princess do for these countries is ruined in the hands of those with unpredictable intentions. Although the old man is old, but with this old bone, he can For you young people, stand in a block..."
If it was a sentence, there was only one sentence. After speaking, he turned around and went straight away.
I have to say that Li Yi once misunderstood the old man in front of him, but some things that happened later changed his impression of Qin Xiang.
Regardless of what the Qin family is like, in terms of Qin Xiang alone, this is an old man who lives purely, an old man worth admiring.
He watched Qin Xiang's figure disappear, and Lao Fang's big face appeared in front of him again.
Lao Fang's face was extremely puzzled, "Uncle, what festival is going on today?"
Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Who is here again?"
"Old Liu of the county government."
