Empress of Erzhoumu: This plot is wrong!

Chapter 16 Li Xiang is not that kind of person!
Li House.

Liu Quan entered the hall.

"Master Xiang, the wife of the Minister of Punishment is asking to see you."

"Who?" Li Yunsheng was a little puzzled, "Cui Yan's wife?"

"Yes, she is waiting outside the door."

"Let her in."

Not long after, a beautiful woman walked into the hall, followed by a maid.

"My family has seen Li Xiang."

"What is Mrs. Cui looking for from me?"

Mrs. Cui is no longer a secret.

"Shangpin Shop is managed by my slave. Yesterday I heard that Xiangye ordered a dress, and it was specially delivered to Xiangye's house."

She knew what was needed here was urgent, so as soon as it was made, she immediately delivered it herself.

When Li Yunsheng heard that the cheongsam was ready, he raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

"I didn't expect the owner of Shangpinpu to be Cui Shangshu."

"It all depends on Xiang Ye's support."

Mrs. Cui winked, and the maid came forward holding a brocade box.

The brocade box was opened, and there was a dress in the box.

Li Yunsheng got up and picked up the purple cheongsam.

Silky fabrics, gorgeous colors, extremely graceful styles, calm and charming, classic and implicitly sexy.

She is like a beauty who overwhelms the country and the city, so stunning that people can't bear to blink their eyes.

As soon as the head is raised, the beauty of the body is engraved in the heart.

Big purple is not a color that ordinary women can control, but Li Yunsheng is confident that the empress can.

"What a cheongsam."

Madam Cui smiled sweetly.

"As long as Xiangye is satisfied."

"Satisfied, very satisfied, Shangpinpu's craftsmanship really lives up to its reputation."

Li Yunsheng put the cheongsam back into the brocade box, only then did he notice that there were five 1000 tael silver notes in the box.

"Ma'am, what does this mean?"

Madam Cui explained.

"The people below have no eyes, how can Shangpinpu accept money from the prime minister."

"Hey—" Li Yunsheng pretended to wave his hands, "The truth never bullies others, of course you have to pay for things."

"Master Xiang can come to Shangpin Shop in person, making Shangpin Shop even more famous, please don't refuse."

Li Yunsheng took another look at the bank note, this was the first time he received money.

The feeling of someone giving money is a bit wonderful.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be a corrupt official.

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

Li Yunsheng put the cheongsam into the box and covered the banknote again.

At this time, Liu Quan quickly walked into the living room.

"Master, Cui Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, asks to see you."

"Oh?"

Li Yunsheng looked at Mrs. Cui in front of him. The two couples met again today.

"Let him in."

Neither Fei Su nor Fei Su's housekeeper had anything to do with the poisoning, and Xiao Lian, the only one who knew who was behind the poisoning, also died.

But Li Yunsheng didn't just give up on this matter. Once things were done, it was impossible not to leave any traces.

Therefore, he ordered Cui Yan to investigate the person who killed Xiao Lian, presumably there was a result.

After a while, Cui Yan walked in, and he saw his wife standing in the hall at a glance.

"Ma'am, why are you here?"

As if she was afraid that Cui Yan might misunderstand, Mrs. Cui quickly explained.

"Master Xiang ordered a dress at our Shangpin shop, and I'm here to deliver the dress to Lord Xiang."

Li Yunsheng said.

"Cui Shangshu, please sit down."

Cui Yan came to his senses this time and hurriedly saluted.

"Li Xiang, I have found out what you ordered."

"Sit down and talk slowly."

Cui Yan didn't speak immediately, but Mrs. Cui understood.

"Since Xiangye has business to discuss, I will leave."

The maid put the brocade box on the table next to Li Yunsheng, and then withdrew with Mrs. Cui.

After the two left, Cui Yan continued to speak.

"Following your instructions, the officer sent someone to capture the person who tortured Xiao Lian to death.

He confessed only after extorting a confession through torture that he was a secret agent of Weiguo. "

"Wei Guo spies?!"

This result is both reasonable and unexpected.

Li Yunsheng thought that Xiaolian's death might not be that simple, but he didn't expect Wei Guo to be behind it.

Weiguo is a country bordering the sea and bordering Dachu.

In recent years, although there have been occasional frictions on the border between the two countries, it is generally considered peaceful.

In the plot in the original book, Wei Guo didn't appear much, so Li Yunsheng didn't care.

Unexpectedly, the poisoning incident had something to do with Weiguo.

Weiguo!

For a moment, Li Yunsheng suddenly remembered something, and he interrupted Cui Yan who wanted to continue talking.

"Liu Quan, go and chase Mrs. Cui back!"

Hearing this, Liu Quan, who was waiting on the sidelines, quickly ran to the door.

Cui Yan was a little nervous and puzzled. As soon as Wei Guo spy was mentioned, Li Xiang chased his wife. What is the meaning of this?
"Master?"

Li Yunsheng didn't explain the reason: "It's okay, just keep talking."

Cui Yan was a little skeptical that his wife might also be a spy of Weiguo.

He rolled his throat and continued.

"As Li Xiang expected, the death of the maid named Xiao Lian was not an accident, but that person did it on purpose."

"What else was found?"

"That person is also following orders, and he doesn't know much.

As for the reason for killing such a maid, he is not clear. "

Li Yunsheng remained silent, and began to think about the ins and outs of the whole matter.

Fei Su has always had prestige in the army, but his subordinates are all concentrated on the southwest border, which is the border with Weiguo.

The person who poisoned him was not Fei Su, but someone made him think that it was Fei Su who did it.

Murder with a knife!
Therefore, I became a knife in the hands of others.

If someone used his hands to get rid of Fei Su, the soldiers on the southwestern border of Great Chu would also hold grudges against him.

In this way, the southwestern border is unstable, and Weiguo will wait for the opportunity to move.

However, the death of Fei Su alone would not cause the southwestern defense line to be defeated.

Wei Guo must have other plans.

Poison!

Reminiscent of the poison in his body, the whole thing is connected in series.

The two auxiliary ministers of Da Chu, one dead and one injured, Wei Guo made a good plan.

If he didn't have his own system, he would definitely be manipulated by Weiguo.

In that way, Weiguo indirectly controlled the court of Dachu.

"Who contacted him, did you catch him?"

Cui Yan shook his head, a little ashamed.

"The contact person is extremely cunning. When the subordinate officials sent someone to go, he had already run away."

Li Yunsheng closed his eyes and put one hand on the table.

Although he knew that Wei Guo was playing tricks, but the clues were cut off again.

Moreover, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

If it was in Dachu, no matter who the poisoner was, he could find that person with his power.

But it would be different if people were in Weiguo, he couldn't force Weiguo to hand over people.

Weiguo spies, this matter is very likely to be done by the Weiguo court.

It is not so easy to get the antidote.

Cui Yan asked curiously.

"Li Xiang, why are you so concerned about this matter?"

Such things as spying are actually not uncommon in the capital.

Great Chu, Northern Qi, Weiguo, each country has spies from the other side.

Even, spies have infiltrated into the court.

It's just that he didn't understand why a little maid would disturb Li Xiang.

Although the maid came out of Li's house, she was just a maid who died, so it was worth asking the Lord Xiang personally to ask him to investigate.

Moreover, it doesn't make sense why Wei Guo's spy wanted to kill a maidservant.

Li Yunsheng did not answer Cui Yan's question.

"Okay, this matter ends here, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Yes."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cui Yan didn't dare to ask more.

Li Yunsheng suddenly thought of the Empress.

"By the way, did something happen this morning?"

"It's nothing important. His Majesty seems to have something to do, so the court left early."

Li Yunsheng nodded and did not speak again.

After a moment's pause, Cui Yan looked outside from the corner of his eye, at this time Mrs. Cui followed Liu Quan into the hall.

"If Xiangye has no other orders, the next official will leave first."

Although he really wanted to know why Xiangye called his wife back, he was afraid that it would involve the matter of Weiguo.

Even, a ridiculous idea popped up in his mind.

Madam is a mature woman and beautiful, Li Xiang is young and handsome, they will not...

No, no!
Li Xiang is not that kind of person!
