Records of the King of Xin'an County

When King Peng sowed discord, the saint's car was not far away, and the scene just now naturally fell into his eyes.Regarding King Peng's actions and bumping into a wall, he smiled, and called Li Hui, who had a bitter face, over to him: "Your uncle sees that you are a junior, so he just told you a few words, don't think too much about it. Originally, I didn't want you to Let’s get involved in this matter again, but since he has already said it, it’s up to you to deal with the maids around him.”

"Is my nephew going to interrogate those maids?" Li Hui frowned. "If they are all my uncle's beloved, I'm afraid it's not easy to use punishment. My nephew can't send a group of wounded maids to serve my uncle." Dali Temple is used to it, and when it comes to mobilizing punishment, it's very natural that they don't even frown.

"Apart from torture, you haven't learned any other methods?" The saint smiled and knocked on the handrail, "The maids around him are not important, you just take it as a practice hand. You should spend more time with Dali Temple Minister and Dali Temple Shaoqing Learn a little, let's go." Cheng Qing is also in a false name, these maids may be the Tongfang he is doting on, and he feels a little bit reluctant to get hurt, so he just said it.As for a maid like this, he has changed so many times around him, and he has changed more diligently than Princess Anxing, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be a close friend who knows some secrets.

"Baby leads the decree." Li Hui watched Luan drive away, frowned, and went back to Prince Pu's mansion with a heavy heart.In the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to be worried about the trial of the maid, but in fact he was full of uncertainty about how the case would develop afterward.Of course, failure is nothing. The important thing is that anyone involved in this matter must never let Princess Anxing think about it, and will be retaliated by her or her henchmen in the future.

"Xuan Qi, I heard that Princess Anxing and Cheng Qing have already been summoned into the palace?" The bedroom was still brightly lit, and Prince Xian came up to welcome him. Looking at his tired expression, he guessed that the case was not going well. , "What is the saint's attitude? Among King Jing, King Peng, and King Lu, who is connected with her?"

"Peng Wang blatantly exonerated her, but Lu Wang couldn't see it." Li Hui pressed his brows, and took a sip of the ten sui soup he handed over, "The sage doesn't care about the outcome of this case, he just wants to interrogate An Xing People in the princess's mansion to find clues to other cases. It is impossible to say that she can be charged with treason or other crimes through the pawns placed in the princess's mansion. But, I always feel that An Xing The princess has been prepared for a long time, the trial of this case continues, there is a very high possibility of accidents..."

"Accident? The so-called accident means that she is very likely to bite back?" The prince offered, "Then you have to be careful, maybe she has some arrangements in Luoyang and other places. Didn't it say that someone secretly wrote to Jingzhou The king of Chu, the king of Jiangxia in Ezhou? The kings of Pu and Sipu in Luoyang, and even the kings of Yong'an and Hejian far in the frontier may have received the same letter. Not to mention other things, just The letter itself is enough to make a big fuss."

In the eyes of the sage, no matter how these clan kings responded, just because they did not inform him of the existence of this letter in time, they were indeed suspected of "conspiracy".At that time, it is very likely that the mastermind in Beijing will not know who it is, but every one of the clan kings in other places will become the object of his suspicion.As long as a thorn is planted in his heart, sooner or later it may attack in various forms.

"Zixian, you immediately take the token and go to Luoyang and Jingzhou." Li Hui was never worried about his elder brother Li Xin's response, only worried that his grandfather Li Tai was being used by others without knowing it.In any case, it's never a bad thing to be cautious.Moreover, he couldn't bear the unreasonable disaster for Chu Princess Su and heir Chu King Li Jue who were in Jingzhou.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it immediately." Wang Zixian felt sorry for him, so he half-forced him to drink the soup, and after bathing him himself, he urged him to fall asleep quickly, "You don't have to Do your best so that you don't teach Princess Anxing to hold grudges with her party members. When it's time to rest, you can rest well, don't think too much about it."

Li Hui was lying on the bed, looking at him with a smile: "The person who should be offended has already been offended. Even if I stand behind and keep silent, Princess Anxing, Cheng Qing and King Peng will all see it Not to mention, Cheng Qing casually gave me an errand to deliver a maid, and King Peng tried to sow discord in front of the saint."

Hearing this, Wang Zixian suddenly thought of the chess piece that was trapped before, and pondered for a moment: "Xuan Qi, Cheng Qing's move is an opportunity. The chess piece we put in before disappeared, and the Sun brothers and sisters were anxious Uneasy. This time, I might be able to find out about the chess piece. Another day, I will let the trilogy who knows the chess piece pretend to be your bodyguard, and accompany you to the place where they are held, and recognize them. .As for King Peng—who doesn't have a bad thing or two?"

Since King Peng blatantly assisted Princess Anxing and even dared to sow dissension, he was their enemy, and he was also an enemy who had no good intentions for his family Xuan Qi.Naturally, Wang Zixian couldn't tolerate this kind of person.His mind is very small, if someone takes the initiative to commit an offense, it is not too much to retaliate a hundred times and a thousand times.

"During this time, let's try to behave as much as possible." Li Hui held his palm and urged, "Otherwise, I will always feel a little uneasy..." After a busy day and many things, he No matter how strong the body is, the spirit is already exhausted.He only felt drowsiness hit him, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back and closed his eyes.

Wang Zixian carefully took him into his arms, thinking about what he needed to do tomorrow.Although he has just entered an official position, he is a dignified first-class leader after all, and his ability to handle economic affairs is also quite outstanding.No matter how cumbersome the affairs of Lieutenant Hucao were, they couldn't help him.What's more, how many small officials under him have been submissive?Now, he has enough time to sit in the county seat of Wannian County and remotely control his family to do more things.

However, at this moment, he was still a little bit unwilling—the county lieutenant, his rank was indeed too low.When his Xuan Qi was facing the enemies behind the scenes and bearing the pressure from them, he didn't even have the right to watch.He needs more power, he needs to be promoted faster, and he needs to come to Xuan Qi's side as soon as possible to share his worries and problems, and even shelter him from the wind and rain.

The next day, Li Hui went to Dali Temple early in the morning, consulted the Minister of Dali Temple and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and learned a lot of experience in "interrogation".

Although it was almost noon, he just looked at the sunny sky, and then led a group of guards to Anxing Princess' Mansion.This huge princess mansion didn't seem to have any abnormalities, neither the passers-by nor the people who came to post in front of the palace did not realize that the servants outside the door had already changed.They would not even know that hundreds of Jinwu guards had settled here last night, keeping all the servants in the Princess Mansion under strict supervision.As for the officials such as the family order of the Princess Mansion, they were even quietly taken into the Zongzheng Temple.

Now that the sage has spoken, Li Hui's goal is very clear.He didn't even ask if King Jing had arrived, and he was not interested in the maids around Princess Anxing, so he went straight to Cheng Qing's courtyard.The courtyard where Cheng Qing lived was not on the middle road, but far away on the east road, and there was even a small garden separated from the middle road, which proved that the son-in-law was not very close to Princess Anxing.Rather than saying that they are a couple, it is better to say that they just live together in the same mansion.

The layout of the East Road is quite strange, not as regular as ordinary houses.Cheng Qing's courtyard alone seems to have expanded a lot. It is not a Hui-shaped structure, but more like a Pin-shaped structure, with connected cross-courtyards opened up on the left and right.And in each courtyard, there are at least a dozen Yingying Yanyans, most of them are Tongfang, only a few of them claim to be concubines or personal servants.

Overnight, these women with different identities have naturally learned that something happened to the Princess Mansion.When someone "broke" in, almost everyone looked panic-stricken, with tears streaming down their faces, which really aroused pity.

"..." Li Huizhen didn't know whether to envy this uncle's beauty, or worry about how he should choose when the time comes.Could it be possible to bring these more than twenty women into the palace to "serve" Cheng Qing?He is under house arrest, not to enjoy the blessings.Moreover, these twenty people may not all be the women he is doting on?

As the king of Xin'an County, he naturally doesn't have to deal with these Yingyingyanyans.So, he asked several guards to bring all the women to the center of the courtyard, knelt all over the ground, and selected one of the women who was said to have stayed with the son-in-law the longest—the so-called longest was only three years That's all, and it is said that he has long since fallen out of favor.

Fortunately, this woman was literate, so she wrote down everyone's names and handed them over to the guards.The guards checked everyone's names, and when "Aping" was pronounced, a petite maid raised her head timidly and agreed.A certain guard beside Li Hui almost trembled—in the eyes of those who knew her well, this kind of demeanor was simply too lethal, no different from a burly man pretending to be a woman! !

Li Hui's gaze didn't stay on the maidservant for long, and then he casually moved away.Afterwards, the guards announced loudly that they were required to tell the likes of the son-in-law Cheng Qing, details of what they were busy with every day, or any special things that happened on a certain day.If you talk a lot and speak correctly, you can go back to your room to rest and enjoy food; Rest and eat; if you point out the faults of others, you can also rest and eat.

The girls were stunned, and after hesitating for a long time, they finally couldn't survive the scorching sun, and gradually someone opened their mouths.At first, some women glared at those who spoke.However, they are no longer rough envoys and servants who need to work. They have already lived a life of rich clothes and fine food, so how can they withstand the sun exposure and hunger and thirst?After kneeling for three or four hours, except for a very few people who were still a bit stubborn, everyone else spoke a lot intermittently.

Li Huizhen sat under the shade of a tree, drinking iced ebony juice, and listened casually to the details they said.These testimonies were fragmented and trivial, and they only related to Cheng Qing's daily habits, and even his hobbies at certain special times, and had nothing to do with the real business.This son-in-law is indeed a dandy who is proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, and he is not close to Princess Anxing, even if the girls want to say it, they can't say anything.

To be honest, he was not disappointed, because he had already expected it.Princess Anxing and Cheng Qing must have been prepared, and there will be no useful news in the retrial.It's just that, watching the guards beside him and the palace servants sent by the sage have been writing hard, the pens are almost bald, and the hands are almost stiff, and some feel that they are not worth it.

This half-day seemed extremely long, and after the sunset finally set, Li Hui motioned for those women who had told a lot of truth to go back to their rooms to rest, while the rest continued to kneel.Suddenly there was a sound of weeping in the courtyard, and some women saw the people beside them staggeringly got up and left, and couldn't hold back any longer, and said a lot of words.

When the night was dark, even the remaining women couldn't talk much, so Li Hui mercifully let them go.Of course, we have to continue tomorrow.After one night, what did someone think of?

After the recorded palace man saluted, he went back to the palace to report, and he also left the courtyard with his guards.When he came to the gate of the Princess Mansion, he happened to meet King Jing who was about to leave.Li Hui went forward to salute, and reported: "Uncle and uncle, all the servants in uncle's yard have been interrogated, and nothing was found. The time they stayed with uncle was very short, the longest was no more than three years, and the shortest was no more than three years." For a month or two, I really can’t say anything.”

"The same goes for the servants around Xi Niang." King Jing nodded, still indifferent to him, "Since the errand assigned to you by the saint should be considered complete, you don't have to come back after a day or two of interrogation. That Yao Xiaolang in Dali Temple needs to be tried again carefully. Don't wrong the noble lord of Tang Dynasty just because of a young man with resentment in his heart."

"...Yes, my child understands." Li Hui agreed and watched him go far: How far has Princess Anxing's power or party feathers reached?Why does King Jing still favor her at this moment?Maybe, just in case?Indeed, if you want to pretend to have a gap with a saint, you must pay attention to your words and deeds all the time, and even be able to deceive everyone around you.

He looked around, glanced at those Jinwu guards, and walked out of Anxing Princess' mansion unhurriedly.
