Chapter 509 Unexpected, Li Jing came to the door

Chapter 509 Unexpected, Li Jing came to the door

When Bai Jingyi heard the guards' message that Li Jing was already outside the door, he wasn't surprised at all.

He had expected that Li Er would soon be unable to sit still, and would come to him to inquire about matters related to the assassin's assassination at this time.

And it must be because he didn't want to meet him face to face, so he sent someone to inquire about the news on his behalf.

The only thing that differed from what Bai Jingyi expected was that Li Er did not send other ministers to visit, but asked Li Anran's father Li Jing to pay a special visit.

If other ministers came, Bai Jingyi might turn them away because he didn't want to see Li Er, or just let the servants say that he was not in the mansion, and let those people go.

If Li Er summoned him and sent someone to deliver the decree, he might pretend not to be there, or he was sick and would not go to see Li Er at all.

However, Li Jing is Li Anran's father, and the relationship between father and daughter is good, so Bai Jingyi will not treat Li Jing coldly, but will treat him well.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingyi understood what Li Er was planning.

Coupled with the fact that Li Er gave Li Jing an imperial edict, someone told him through the system early on, he could easily guess the intention of Li Jing's visit this time.

Although Bai Jingyi was not surprised by this matter, he still cursed secretly: "Li Er, this old fox, just made such a roundabout thing come out."

However, even if Li Jing came to inquire about Li Er's news, Bai Jingyi didn't care.

After all, these bad things in the south have to be dealt with sooner or later, and it doesn't make much difference for him to deal with them early or late.

Moreover, the princes of those southern vassal states have already been beaten by him, and the general situation is firmly in his hands.

Every prince has his eyeliner on his side, and he is not worried at all about what troubles those princes can cause, and he is not worried about what troubles those princes will cause him.

Although the matter in the south has been dealt with, the assassination in Chang'an was quite large and many people were affected, so an explanation must be given sooner or later.

Instead of letting Li Er and those ministers guess messy things on their own, make some unexpected actions, and spoil his good deeds, it is better for him to control the overall situation.

Bai Jingyi was just waiting for the right time to tell Li Er that the person who ordered the assassin had died in his hands, so that Li Er didn't need to worry, and didn't need to continue to investigate.

Therefore, although Li Er's move made Li Jing come to test Bai Jingyi.

This is the means and the best strategy to deliberately make Bai Jingyi unable to refuse, and to reveal all the details.

But in fact, precisely because it was Li Jing who came, Li Er would not have half doubts about the evidence Li Jing had obtained, so on the contrary, it was able to promote Bai Jingyi's plan and make Li Er calm down a bit.

If other ministers came to inquire about the news, Li Er might still suspect that Bai Jingyi would just use some irrelevant evidence to fool himself.

But Li Jing is different, because of Li Anran's relationship, Li Er will not feel that Bai Jingyi will hide anything from Li Jing.

They even think that Bai Jingyi's words to Li Jing must not be half false.

And this is the effect Bai Jingyi wants to achieve.

This round, it can only be said that Li Er consciously catered to Bai Jingyi's plan, just like someone gave him a pillow when he was dozing off, and Bai Jingyi naturally would not let go of this excellent opportunity.

"Master Li, please come to the banquet hall, and then have someone tell Li Anran that Li Jing is here."

"Report to Major General, Mr. Li is already on his way to the study, do you need to invite him to the banquet hall now?"

He didn't find it strange that the attendants would lead Li Jing to the study.

After all, as Li Jing is Li Anran's father, under normal circumstances, he doesn't even need to report.

But it was also because Li Er passed on the imperial decree to Li Jing that Bai Jingyi had to keep an eye on Li Jing.

"Since we're on the way, let's come to the study."

Bai Jingyi didn't mind chatting about these things with Li Jing somewhere, when the guard heard the words, he bowed in a low voice, then turned and left the study.

Li Jing came very quickly, it was not difficult to see that he actually cared about Li Er's orders.

Upon seeing Li Jing, Bai Jingyi immediately softened his expression.

Although Li Jing's trip was definitely to scout for Li Er, he was doing something for Li Er.

But even so, the fact that Li Jing is Li Anran's father has not changed.

Therefore, Li Jing should be treated better than Li Er.

"Please sit down."

Bai Jingyi immediately sent someone to look at the seats, and after serving good tea, he said: "I didn't expect you to be a guest at the house today."

"Hahaha, the old man never thought that if he happened to enter the mansion today, he would meet the King of Beiliang at the mansion."

Li Jing had a smile on his face, but actually he was a little flustered.

He had to do what Li Er told him.

But if he asked so directly, but it seemed too abrupt, it would be easy for Bai Jingyi to sense his intentions.

Moreover, apart from the things arranged by Li Er, Li Jing came here this time with the intention of seeing how Li Anran is doing now.And this idea is as important as what Li Er entrusted to him, he has no intention of destroying this opportunity.

Bai Jingyi drank his tea quietly, waiting for Li Jing to speak again.

After Li Jing was silent for a while, he said, "Anran...how is she doing recently? She shouldn't have caused you any trouble, right?"

Bai Jingyi originally thought that when Li Jing opened his mouth, he must be asking about something related to the assassin's assassination, but he never thought that the question was actually about something related to Li Anran.

Originally thinking that Li Jing's displeasure at serving as Li Er's errand this time suddenly eased a bit, but Bai Jingyi didn't feel disgusted by this unexpected feeling, on the contrary she was more kind: "She has had a good time recently. Well, it should be on the way now."

on the way?
On what road?
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and ten thousand bad endings suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Bai Jingyi knew that he was here to inquire about Li Er?

Could it be that after Bai Jingyi found out about this incident, he flew into a rage and angered his daughter?

Could it be that Li Anran is now...

The more Li Jing thought about it, his complexion became worse and worse.

Bai Jingyi saw that his face was slowly darkening, so he didn't need to guess, he must have misunderstood something.

But now he doesn't want to correct Li Jing's thoughts at all. Anyway, Li Jing himself has a guilty conscience this time, and even if he is frightened, it is his own fault.

Not to mention, Bai Jingyi has already sensed an aura that is rapidly approaching the study room, and the owner of that aura must be Li Anran.

Li Anran ran to Li Jing by himself, which was more useful than any explanation he could give.
