Chapter 24
"So, just based on a beggar's words, you suspect me, without any evidence, move your mouth up and down, and want to convict a loyal minister?"

Li Xiaoji knew that Jian Yushi was stupid, but he didn't know that he was so stupid, even if there were really clues, there were really doubtful things, he should investigate secretly, and find enough evidence to make it public.

Being yelled out by him like this is worth looking into, and Shen Yu will not take it seriously. After all, there is no evidence, after all, Li Xiaoji still has some use value.

Therefore, Shen Yu didn't even look at the expectant Jian Yushi, dismissed him casually, and when he left disappointed, he couldn't help saying: "This idiot hasn't made any progress for so many years."

Li Xiaoji said amusedly: "Resentful ministers attract people's hatred, and if you don't want to be simple, Yushi will be so obedient to the wind and rain, eager to convict the ministers."

After all, the monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Jian Yushi seemed to have heard the ridicule of the monarch and his ministers, looked back, gritted his teeth and said: "Although there is no evidence, I just think there is something wrong with you, you must be holding back!"

"Don't tell me to find out, otherwise, you will end up skinning and tearing apart the bones!"

The angry Jian Yushi got into the carriage, ready to question the beggar carefully.

Speaking of today's trip, Jian Yushi's family met a hungry beggar on the road. Seeing that he was young, he couldn't bear it for a while, so he gave him some food and water.

The beggar regained his strength and sighed, "It would be great if that grandpa, the God of Wealth, still came to see us, so we wouldn't be hungry."

Grandpa God of Wealth?Jian Yushi's family kept an eye out, and continued to feed the little beggar while cliche, thinking that they might hear some useful information to help their master.

Then, Jian Yushi's family brought the little beggar in front of Jian Yushi. After listening to the beggar's description to Grandpa the God of Wealth, Jian Yushi's eyes lit up when he remembered a few things that happened in the city before.

Although the little beggar had never seen the true face of "Grandpa God of Wealth", Li Xiaoji's face automatically popped up in Jian Yushi's mind, making him smile excitedly, and ran all the way to the palace.

After being scolded, he returned home in disgrace, and heard from his family that the little beggar had escaped. Now, it really became a farce. Thinking about it, he knew how the courtiers would laugh at him.

Jian Yushi was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, his eyes turned hard, but he sent two men to hunt down the little beggar.

It's just that dragons have their own ways of dragons, and rats have their own way of rats. Beggars have been struggling to survive in the imperial city for so long, and they already have their own escape methods. Therefore, Jian Yushi's men can only return empty-handed.

Jian Yushi, who was so angry, just received an invitation from a colleague. He thought it would be nice to drink flower wine, listen to a little song, and relax.

Different from Li State, which has strict rules, officials of Yi State can go to designated places to drink some flower wine to relax, as long as they don't make trouble in public, they can do whatever they want in private.

"It's not that I'm bragging to you, I've already caught Li Xiaoji's hand, sooner or later I'll kill that bastard, let him be arrogant in front of me..."

Jian Yushi, who was staggering from drinking, was bragging with his tongue, and the people present laughed a lot, so he had to perfunctory him, saying that he looked forward to the day when he would bring down Li Xiaoji.

Jian Yushi, who was sought after, smiled so proudly, and when he was happy, he said: "I invite you for today's meal, as long as everyone is happy!"

The goal was achieved, and everyone praised Jian Yushi's ability as if they didn't want money, and praised him so high, it happened that he was in a hurry, so he staggered to the latrine.

As soon as he untied his belt, Jian Yushi heard a gust of wind, and subconsciously turned his head, but a black shadow flashed past, causing him to pass out before he could make a sound.

In the wing room, the people waited for a long time and mistakenly thought that Jian Yushi wanted to renege on the debt, so they sent out his followers to look for him. After a while, the servants who went out to find someone came crying and said that Jian Yushi had drowned in the hut.

"What?" In the morning, Shen Yu's eyes widened when he received the news, and he didn't know how to react for a while, whether he was laughing at the strangeness of Jian Yushi's death, or suspected that it happened by coincidence.

Li Xiaoji, who was standing beside Shen Yu, also had a distorted face. After a while, he sighed: "Your Majesty, I said that I didn't do this, do you believe it?"

Shen Yu tilted his head, glanced at Li Xiaoji up and down, and said softly: "If you want to kill him, why would you use such a disgusting method?"

Li Xiaoji raised his eyebrows, took a step forward, rubbed Shen Yu's ink as he did yesterday, and said with a smile: "What can't be extinguished, maybe I just want to change my taste?"

"You!" Shen Yu shook her head helplessly, reached out and tapped Li Xiaoji's forehead.

Although Jian Yushi's death made his family grieve, but the strange way of death made his family feel even more embarrassed, so they decided to handle the funeral in a low-key manner.

Dead people also have one or two friends, that is, Jian Yushi has a bad reputation, and no one in the court welcomes him. When the mourning hall rises, there are still people who come to offer incense and funeral rites.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoji also came, and under the watchful eyes of Jian Yushi's family, he quietly offered incense, turned and left without saying a word.

Some people saw it, and had to lament that Jian Yushi's all kinds of actions against Li Xiaoji were really just a joke, and people didn't take him seriously at all.

Coming to Shangxiang is just a matter of saving face, after all, when Li Xiaoji was not killing people, he still understood human relations very well, and he never made mistakes.

Although Jian's family consciously suppressed the news and didn't want everyone to know the cause of Jian Yushi's death, they still leaked the news and became a topic of conversation in the imperial city.

"Hahahaha, why is there someone..." The Eleventh Princess laughed and burst into tears. The grievance of this period of time has dissipated a bit, and the nurse wanted to laugh too, but she still held back, trying to persuade the Eleventh Princess to calm down.

On the other hand, Lu Xiya scolded the laughing maids and forbade them to be presumptuous. It happened that she was going out of the palace to find some folk books, so she ordered a few people to pretend to go out.

In the streets and alleys, people come and go, no matter high-ranking officials or nobles, or traffickers and pawns, they all have their own busy affairs, and no one has time to stay for others.

Lu Xiya looked at the excitement on the street and the loneliness at the end of the street, smiled lightly, and was about to turn around, but almost collided with a man.

The other party reacted flexibly to avoid her, and walked in a hurry. He only said "I'm sorry" to her, and hurried forward.

Looking at this person's back, Lu Xiya felt a strange feeling in her heart, as if she had missed something, but it was fleeting, so she smiled indifferently, and led the entourage to another bookstore.

Qin Xi, who ventured into the city, wanted to find another hidden pile buried in the city, and through them to get in touch with his own people lurking in the court of Yiguo.

If you want to cooperate with the northern border to rescue Li Tian's mother and daughter, you must use the power in the city. The matter is so important that no tokens are trustworthy, so Qin Xi had to go there himself.

But he didn't know that he just passed by a very important person, and he didn't know how this miss would change their fate.

Li Xiaoji, who learned about Lu Xiya and Qin Xi's hasty contact from the mouth of the treacherous minister system, did not take it to heart, and the love-hate entanglement of the protagonist group had nothing to do with him.

Just as he was about to walk out of the rockery and head for the main road out of the palace, he saw Princess Eleven holding a book, so Li Xiaoji had to stop and salute.

Seeing him, Princess Eleven's eyes lit up unconsciously, and she said, "Where is Master Li going?"

 Damn, a little diarrhea.
