Records of the King of Xin'an County

With the departure of the King of Chu from the capital, the events that happened in Buzhengfang's other courtyard seemed to be annihilated.In the name of keeping filial piety, Li Qianniang, the head of Yichuan County, no longer goes out at will; Princess Anxing seems to have nothing to do with her, and goes to and from the palace every day on her own. The government hall offered incense and knelt down to Empress Qin.Although they may all hope that this matter can be covered up as soon as possible, how can they get the investigation of Donggong and Sansi?

A few days later, when Li Xin and Li Hui entered the palace to visit the sage, it happened that Prince Li Kun rushed to the Palace of Manna.Seeing the two tall and handsome nephews clustered around the old father, listening to him admiringly pointing out archery and saber skills, his eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly curled up: "I heard that Grandpa said this I often practice archery, originally to teach Bo Yue and A Hui. It's a pity that the boy doesn't have the talent for riding and archery, otherwise he can follow suit."

The saint smiled and called him to his side: "Now it is far from what it used to be - you can only use two stone bows, and you can only hit seven or eight out of ten shots. If the two brothers practice more diligently, I won't need to come What a lesson! However, staying with these children makes me feel a lot younger and more energetic." He didn't know in his heart that the grandchildren's move was just to accompany him and make him laugh ?

"Since that's the case, why don't you call Qianli and Ah Jing together? Yue Niang is also full of thoughts these days to learn riding and archery, so let her learn from Grandpa." Li Kun said, but he didn't mention his own. Two bastards.One is that the two are still young, it is too dangerous to learn to ride and shoot; the other is that the mother of two sons, Yang Liangdi and Zhang Ruzi, regard their children like eyes, and are afraid that they will not bear them to endure hardships for a while.

"Let them all come." The sage said, "Teaching two is teaching anyway, and teaching five is also teaching. Their brothers and sisters are all together, and it is more lively." He stuffed the bow and arrow into Li Hui's arms and ordered him Continuing to shoot arrows, he asked again, "Why is Wulang here?" Because he was not feeling well recently, he ordered the prince to supervise the administration of the country.Li Kun would come here every day to report important matters in the court, but he never arrived in a hurry at this hour.

"Grandpa, the assassination case that happened in Buzhengfang's other courtyard a few days ago has been investigated." Li Kun said.The East Palace has no right to investigate the case, and the assassins, servants, and prostitutes in custody are all transferred to Dali Temple.Due to the appearance of assassins targeting Li Song, Dali Temple applied for a joint trial among the three divisions, linking this case with the previous reverse case.

The rebellious case that was thought to be over long ago has caused another disturbance, how can it not make people angry?After the sage heard about it, Dang even issued an imperial edict, urging the third division to try and close the case as soon as possible.But that female assassin is a dead man, no matter what severe punishment she received, she would not confess.The third department had no choice but to investigate slowly, and finally found out the traitor from among the servants and maidservants in the other courtyard, and verified the definite evidence.

Because Li Hui was almost victimized by this case, the sage called the two brothers to come and listen.Li Kun went on to say: "The third division found out that this case is really related to the previous reverse case. The female assassin was the daughter of a former Eastern Palace guard. Her father was accidentally shot dead by the eldest brother, so she held a grudge. Later, her biological mother died of illness. , she wandered among relatives, was sold as a slave, and has never been seen since then. It should be Huan He's first-class rebel who deliberately found her whereabouts, and trained her as a deadly soldier to help her avenge her."

Li Hui frowned: The so-called "inadvertent shooting" should mean that innocent people were used as targets.This kind of revenge for killing his father, like Huan He's hatred, is indeed endless.However, the female assassin planned to use his barrier knife to stab, obviously not just for revenge, but also for the suspicion of slandering him.At that time, no one else was present, and he was only suspicious. I'm afraid that even if he said everything, he might not be able to win the trust of Sansi.

The saint said indifferently: "It can be regarded as the enmity he provoked by himself, but Ahui was innocently involved. Does the third secretary know why no one reported to Asu and Jueqing for his misconduct in the other courtyard? If their mother and child The two suppressed it, so it shouldn't have come to this!" When he was in Qianzhou, Li Song had never committed any crimes, so why did he go crazy when he returned to Chang'an?As a father, he certainly didn't believe there was no other reason for it.

"Then I have to ask Yichuan." Li Kun said, "At that time, she was in charge of the internal affairs of the other courtyard, and my sister-in-law was busy preparing for Jueqing's marriage, so she had no time for him. All the stewards in the other courtyard confessed, and she bought them with a lot of money Let them go to Pingkangfang to buy prostitutes, and they are not allowed to report to Sister-in-law and Jueqing." Even the third division cannot rashly arrest and interrogate the Yichuan county head who is a noble daughter of the clan.What's more, she is now behind closed doors, and it is said that no one wants to see her.Therefore, it is not possible to call her out for the time being, and listen to her explain more details.

Neither Li Xin nor Li Hui thought that Li Kun would speak so bluntly, telling all the things Li Qianniang had committed.However, he did not mention the cause and effect and other hidden matters, probably Du Shi did not mention it to him, or it was inconvenient to explain it to the saint.He never mentioned Princess Anxing, so there should be no definite evidence.

The sage's impression of this concubine's granddaughter is very ordinary, and he has never gotten along with him, never understood, and there is not much friendship between grandparents and grandchildren.Now that I hear this, I feel very tired: "Then you should ask her carefully. Since it is a scandal in your own family, there is no need for the third division to interrogate it. You can preside over it with Erlang. If you really make a mistake, you can depose her as an interrogator." Common people are just that." The things that he can't hear or see the most are things like brothers fighting against each other, father and son turning against each other, and so on.He has always been extremely displeased with such scheming women.

After hearing the progress of the case, the sage lost interest in continuing to teach archery, and simply went back to Ganlu Hall to rest.Li Kun then took Li Xin and Li Hui to travel, and asked many details along the way.Li Huijie answered one by one without hesitation, and did not hide anything.Since I couldn't find any evidence, I made my uncle suspicious and continued to investigate, which may more or less solve the fog behind the case.

"Yichuan has ulterior motives, so it's really time for a trial." Li Kun said, with a cold smile on his friendly smile, "As for the rest, don't worry, she will definitely make decisions for you, and you can't let her do anything wrong."

The two brothers Li Hui knew each other well, he should be referring to Princess Anxing.Come to think of it, the reason why he pushed Li Qianniang out was to force her to confess to Princess Anxing.With such testimonies, we can have the opportunity to teach Princess Anxing a lesson.Otherwise, we still don't know what plots Princess Anxing has behind the scenes, and what relationship she has with those exiled families, this uncle of the crown prince is probably very afraid in his heart.

The next day, Li Kun sent a maidservant as an envoy to bring Yichuan county lord Li Qianniang out of her husband's Xu family in the name of kneeling down to the Lizheng Hall.Along the way, Li Qianniang felt terrified and tried several times to find excuses to go home to escape, but the palace envoy seemed to have never heard of it.Thinking of what she had done, she felt even more afraid, and complex hatred rose in her heart again.Under such intermingling of fear and hatred, the originally graceful and gentle face was distorted several times, and it was full of resentment again.

Not long after, the palace maid took Li Qianniang to the Daji Hall on the right side of the Lizheng Hall.Except for the Du family, Zhou family, and Princess Anxing who needed to take care of themselves, all the blood of the Tian family sat in it.Sitting on the right are Prince Li Kun, Yue Wang Li Heng, Pu Wang Li Tai, and on the left are Wang Shi, Yan Shi, Princess Linchuan and Princess Qinghe.Li Xin, Li Hui and other juniors sat down one by one and looked at her coldly.

Seeing such a battle, Li Qianniang almost fell to the ground.The servant girl next to her quickly supported her and took her to sit on the mattress in the center of the hall.Everyone sat on the couch, looking down at her condescendingly, like a trial court, appearing more solemn and solemn.

Li Qianniang barely concealed the panic in her heart, slowly raised her head, and greeted the elders timidly as usual.Li Kun and Li Heng responded indifferently, but Li Tai ignored it with raised eyebrows.As for the Wang family and the Yan family, they were even more indifferent, not as kind and gentle as usual.

"Yichuan, do you know why you were called into the palace?" Li Kun asked without intending to greet her.

"I don't know... the palace maid said that uncle arranged for the whole family to bow down to grandma... and my son came." Li Qianniang replied with an innocent look on her face.

None of the elders in the hall had piercing eyes, and they could see through the tension and fear she was trying to cover up with a single glance, and they all laughed in their hearts.At this point, she still thinks that she can hide herself from the sky and pick herself out, which is indeed vicious and stupid.With a bad temper, and being fascinated by Chang'an's wealth and splendor, it is not surprising to do anything.

"Since you don't want to take the initiative to admit it, then explain it to us. Why did you hide the fact that your grandfather had no intention of killing the servants? Why did you pay a lot of money to buy the stewards of other courts and let them go to Pingkangfang to buy prostitutes? Why do you condone the daughters? The assassin's instigation caused your grandpa to go crazy? Why did you lure your cousins ​​to visit another courtyard? Don't you know that your grandpa has always held a bow and arrow, and it is very dangerous for them to go here?" Li Kun asked again and again. , actually with the meaning of deterrence.

Li Qianniang burst into tears almost instantly.She was unwilling to admit her selfishness and viciousness, and racked her brains to find an excuse: "My grandfather killed the servant girl... I was also terrified when I heard it for the first time. A Niang handed over all the internal affairs of the other courtyard to my son. It is to believe in Er's ability. If A Niang finds out about this, wouldn't she feel extremely disappointed? Therefore, Er was confused for a while, tried every means to suppress this matter, and bought a prostitute to supplement the needs of other courtyards. Who Knowing that the trickster has malicious intentions, grandpa's madness has become even more severe."

"I didn't mention this matter with my mother and brother before, and I didn't dare to mention it again. At that time, my brother's wedding was approaching. If something happened, wouldn't it ruin my brother's marriage? So, I thought Come on, after my elder brother gets married, it will not be too late to kneel in front of my mother and elder brother to explain."

"As for that day, Er was also worried that Grandpa would hurt my elder brother, so I wanted my cousin to go and have a look. Er was too flustered, and thought in my heart that my elder brother was not skilled in martial arts and could be easily injured, but first cousin and second cousin They are all outstanding in martial arts, and they will definitely be able to bring elder brother and grandpa back to the palace safely. But I never thought that the last ones to go would be Cousin Jue and Cousin Jing... It was also not thoughtful..."

Li Hui thought about it carefully, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: This woman does have a talent for lying, and she is actually very coherent when she speaks back and forth, not full of loopholes.If she insisted that she suppressed the matter just because she was confused for a moment, and then became flustered because she was only worried about her brother, of course she would not be punished too severely.After all, she is indeed still young, so she doesn't seem to be the culprit who can link up with the traitor.

On the contrary, if she admitted that she harbored evil intentions, even if she confessed to Princess Anxing, her own status might not be preserved.Therefore, she will try her best to quibble at this time, and it is absolutely impossible to admit what she has done.

Before that, they all underestimated her a little bit.Once thinking about their own interests, they are short-sighted and stupid people, and they also have the determination and means to protect themselves.

The author has something to say: Li Qianniang: TAT, I was young, I did some wrong things in a moment of confusion, it was really not intentional! !

Xiaojun Wang: You really know how to pretend, tsk tsk, real people don't show their faces.

King Sipu: Pretend, you continue to pretend.

King Siyue: It looks... like crying a bit pitifully?

Prince Tianshui: It's cruel enough to be able to hide this kind of thing and buy someone to be killed by the elder father.It would be pretty good if she could be made a general?

His Royal Highness Yue Wang: →→, I feel that my son is a bit worrying. Could it be that his limbs are developed and his mind is simple?

His Royal Highness Prince Pu: (╯－_－)╯╧╧, confess to me quickly! !My son can't be bullied by you for nothing! !

His Royal Highness: ...don't worry, don't worry...
