Lei Yue Longmen

In the hall, Concubine Xiao, Prince Xiao's son, princess and other people all came to have an audience, and after the worship ceremony, they sat down.Although they belonged to the same clan, these people were not close to Li Jingchen, and it was probably the first time they saw her, so they didn't have much to say about her.Those little ones were dismissed after the meeting, leaving only Concubine Xiao, Prince Xiao's son and a seven or eight-year-old girl in the hall.But because of the ghostly look on the face of the empress dowager, the atmosphere was not harmonious.

Li Jingchen hadn't seen Xiao Wangzhi for a long time in the hall, his face was extremely impatient,

"Yunzhong, you go to see Prince Xiao's illness in person on behalf of Gu Gu!"

"No!" Just as Yun Zhong was about to leave, a middle-aged man in a maroon python robe and black gauze folded over a catty was supported and walked in slowly, with eight house slaves armed with knives behind him.Yun Zhong and Li Jingchen exchanged glances, then retreated back to the original place to guard.

Everyone in the hall stood up except Li Jingbai and bowed to greet him.The little girl next to the princess also ran over and called him "Daddy".It was Xiao Wang Li Pingsu.The visitor was over forty, but his appearance was still upright, with tendrils on his lips, and a pair of slightly sunken almond eyes, quite similar to today's, but not very energetic.When he was convicted and left Beijing, Li Jingchen was still young, so he still had a certain impression on him.I only remember that his skin was slightly fair, but when we saw each other now, his yellow skin was scorched black, presumably because the frontier fortress suffered a lot.He didn't even get rid of the collusion in his bones.

"This is my eldest niece, ouch, I haven't seen you for so many years, and she has turned out to be so iconic. She is three points more beautiful than my queen's sister-in-law back then. My king has been in bed for a long time, and I can't get up. It's a bit far away." welcome."

That King Xiao stooped his waist, and he was not respectful in his words, so he talked about kissing first.Moreover, it is really disrespectful to criticize the former empress in front of the empress dowager.It was strange that Li Jingchen could talk to him.

Seeing that Li Jingchen didn't look sideways and didn't intend to respond at all, King Xiao also felt bored and was about to find a step to sit down.

Yun Zhong suddenly said forcefully: "Prince Xiao County, please pay respects first! Greetings to His Royal Highness the Empress Dowager!"

As soon as he drank, the whole audience fell silent.Originally, it is a matter of getting along with face, but if you have to give some raw rice to eat, don't blame others for caring about you.

Li Pingsu's face froze, and he became a little annoyed, and said: "Forgot, Your Highness is now the empress dowager. This king left Beijing early, and lived in Kangyang for many years. Your Highness, please forgive me."

Pushing away the two people who were supporting him, he saluted reluctantly under the eyes of everyone.

Li Jingchen seemed to have discovered this person suddenly, and said: "Uncle Xiao, why should you be so polite, please sit down." Then Li Pingsu sat in the hall, but his face was very ugly.Li Jingchen turned a blind eye and said: "I have long wanted to visit Xiao Wangshu, but I heard that Wang Shu is not recovering, so I don't want to bother you. Today I have something to worry about, so I have to come to make trouble."

When Li Pingsu heard the words, it was as if he had suffered from being dumb, and his face became more and more embarrassing.No one knew before that the Empress Dowager came here to raise food, visited many meritorious relatives in private, and left Xiao Wang's mansion alone, including all banquets and gatherings.It is tantamount to telling the world that the East Palace regards Xiao Wang's mansion as a smelly smell, and does not want to have any relationship with it.It was slapping him in the face in public.Now that he just lied that he was sick, she went down the donkey and left the deliberate cold treatment of Prince Xiao's mansion. Who can feel comfortable?

This girl and his imperial brother are the same thing in their bones, they are obviously cruel, but they want to put on a hypocritical appearance, deliberately disgusting you.

"Where did your highness say, your highness can still think of Kang Yang and this king's uncle, which can be regarded as flattering this king. If this king is no longer interested, it will be boring for nothing. If you have anything to do, please tell me, How dare this king disobey."

"What Uncle Wang said is that Gu will not go around in circles with Uncle Wang anymore. Gu is here to beg for someone with Uncle Wang today, and I hope Uncle Wang can make it happen." Li Jingchen didn't intend to spend any time with him, and went straight to the point.

"Pleasuring people? Who are you begging for?"

"Princess, please avoid it for now!" That Xiao Wang didn't know that Li Jing was still showing some kind of thin face to him, after hearing this, he thought to himself what kind of mystery was she trying to play?

After everyone left in order, Li Jingxuan went straight to the point and said, "Hua Qing, the oiran lady of Konggulou, I heard that she has recently fallen into Uncle Wang's hands, Uncle Wang should let her go!"

Li Pingsu's face suddenly changed, and he refused to admit it: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person! When did you see a lady in the palace?"

Li Jingchen expected that he would not let him go easily, and said: "It's not an important person at first, but when it comes to raising food, I have to talk about the ugly things first. I also listened to the case of Lu Chaisheng's invasion of fields." , who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice, it is clear to everyone. The Ma county magistrate is confused in his errands, thinking that he can deceive the world, Uncle Wang, please don't be confused with him. Don't make trouble with the officials, and everyone will look bad .”

When Li Pingsu heard the word "Yanguan", he was still afraid, "How could such a small oiran have something to do with His Highness raising food? Could Your Highness be joking with this king?"

Li Jingchen said: "Gu never jokes with others."

Li Pingsu sneered in his heart: "Huh, that's true." Her niece said with a serious smile when she was young, a half-year-old doll has a deep-hearted look before she walks steadily, and there is no vitality and vitality on her face.Brother Huang also said that she has some Yiyin talents. According to him, this family has abnormal people in their minds.

Li Jingchen continued: "Now the senior official of Qin is in the palace with the lonely dignitary. Originally, the lonely didn't want to get involved in such matters, but he offered 30 shi of grain to avenge the oiran lady. In other words, Wang Shuruo can also take out 30 shi of grain is given to Gu, so Gu can still ignore it."

Naturally, Li Pingsu couldn't get it out, but he was unwilling to let the duck fly away. He clapped the case and said, "How can Your Highness be blackmailed by this person? Since the lady Huakui has switched to Lu Chaisheng's family, it has nothing to do with him. He did it for this." It's against the heavens for a woman who can do her best to dare to threaten the empress dowager."

Li Jingchen's expression darkened when he heard those unsavory words, and he looked at him coldly,

"If you ask him to come to me in person, I won't believe it. A small oiran is worth such a big fight."

"Uncle Wang still doesn't understand what Gu means. Gu didn't come here today to be a lobbyist. Gu came here for the court's plan to raise food. Since he came, he didn't plan to return empty-handed. As for you and Qin Daguan Disputes, you can resolve them in private. This person must be taken away." She also accidentally discovered the advantage of Qin's absence, and it is easy to use, and no real person will come out to refute.

Li Pingsu understood what she meant, in order to complete the mission assigned by the emperor, she would take her away at all costs.This damned Qin Zhuo actually resorted to such insidious tricks to spoil his good deeds.It just doesn't make sense.

He thought over and over again, this oiran lady is the one he wants to present to the emperor, and he will point to her to restore the title in the future, so he must not let go.You might as well delay it for a while before saying: "Your Highness is late, the county magistrate of Nama did send me a beauty, but I rejected him in person, and she must have been taken back to the Yamen by now!"

"Oh, is that so?" Li Jingchen heard that he was inconsistent, he would not eat or drink fine wine when toasting, and said with a blank expression: "Then Uncle Wang, would you mind if I search the palace?"

"Your Highness, why do you insist that the lady Hua Kui is in this king's mansion, this king is the county king proclaimed personally by the emperor, your uncle, even if you don't look at this king's face, you must look at the queen mother's face. Even When the Metropolitan Procuratorate searches this king's mansion, it must first produce evidence! Which law are you relying on to search the mansion for no reason like this?!"

Li Jingchen stretched out his hand to the side, Yun Zhong took out a stack of deed papers from his bosom, and handed it to her.Under Li Pingsu's hesitant gaze, Li Jingxuan showed him a piece of paper: "How many fields Uncle Wang has plundered in Kangyang these years, do you still remember clearly? Don't think that you have been taken out of the case of Lu Chaisheng." , it can be completely wiped out. The deeds are clearly written in black and white. Do you really think you can’t find out who swallowed the land, resold it to whom, and framed it to whom? To tell you the truth, it’s not that the imperial court couldn’t find out, it’s that the father wanted to give Uncle Wang a chance to sincerely repent for the sake of the old queen mother, and didn’t let them continue to investigate. The deed is handed over to Dali Temple, Uncle Wang thinks he can still be a prince in Kangyang safely?!"

"you……!!!"

When Xiao Wang heard the words, he even forgot to pretend to be sick, and jumped up from his seat with a bang, and wanted to snatch the deed paper to see.Li Jingchen took back the deed paper decisively and handed it over to Yunzhong for safekeeping.Li Pingsu was in vain, and exasperated: "What exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple, exchange someone for it!" Li Jingxuan held the tea and said, "I don't want to disobey the wishes of the emperor and the queen mother, but some people want to make things difficult for Gu. What does Uncle Wang think Gu will do?"

Li Pingsu thought and thought with a sullen face, and hammered down the table, "Tell Qin Zhuo that this king will give him a [-]% discount. This king will take five, no, ten women will exchange this one with him, you can ask him if it is okay?" !"

He was almost a bit of a rascal, Li Jingchen almost laughed, rolled his eyes and said: "Substitution? Does Uncle Wang think it is necessary to go to such a troublesome effort to change a niece?"

Li Pingsu thought about it too, Qin Zhuo could even move the empress dowager here, but considering the importance of this woman in his heart, it might be difficult to settle this matter.He thought and thought with a sullen face, it is tempting to get promoted and get rich, but he can't trade his wealth and life, his brother is really ruthless, and his relatives don't recognize him, and the most important thing is to save his life, the future will be brighter.So as soon as he gritted his teeth, he sent his maid to the attic to bring him back.

But the housekeeper secretly stopped him, found an excuse to call Xiao Wang out of the house, and reminded: "My lord, don't be intimidated, the land we passed on was handled by the old slave himself, and the chain of evidence has long been taken care of." After destroying it completely, how could she still have a second piece of evidence, she probably took a fake deed to deceive you!"

When Li Pingsu realized it, he was really startled into a cold sweat, "You are right, she hid the deed paper from this king to see, it's not because of a guilty conscience, this king almost fell for this little girl." Just about to return She turned back to the house, but turned back again, "But if she insists on taking someone away, what should she do? What if soldiers from outside break in..."

"Don't worry, my lord, she doesn't dare to search the mansion. Where is the mansion? How can she search it as soon as she says, don't forget, the queen mother is standing above you! As long as you insist that the oiran is not in the mansion, she will not dare to do it What happened to be out of courtesy. Take a step back, if she really searches the house, we will hide the oiran and let her go to nothing. Afterwards, you can sue her in front of the Queen Mother. Guess what the Queen Mother will do Do?"

"The Empress Dowager has always disliked this girl, so she must be scolding her like a bloody ass." Thinking of this, King Xiao couldn't help but straighten his waist, and immediately returned to the room angrily, "Your Highness really played a good trick, Lied to the king that there is some kind of contract paper, probably it is a piece of waste paper."

Li Jingchen frowned when he heard the words, but he didn't refute immediately.That Xiao Wang became more and more sure that her deed paper was fake, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him on the spot.

"Okay, okay, Your Highness is looking at the king who has left the frontier fortress, and his life is too comfortable, so he rushed to find it for the king. For the sake of being a low-ranking person, he did not hesitate to fabricate charges and frame the uncle, even if he is sued. Where is the emperor, this king will never let it go!"

Li Jingchen saw him pacing up and down the hall, like a bloated clown.Losing his patience, he put down his tea bowl and said, "Will you not let it go? Well, since Uncle Wang insists on talking to such a nasty level alone before letting him go, let's go to the court to settle this matter together. Let all the officials come to comment on the great achievements that Uncle Wang has made among the people over the years! Come, search the house!"

With a sound of "bang", the gate of the palace was kicked open, and five hundred palace guards from the palace poured in one after another, surrounding all the people in the palace, disarming and knocking down.

Everyone in the room huddled together in panic, Li Pingsu didn't expect that she would really dare to search the house, and took two steps back, "You, how dare you..."

"Why don't you dare?" Li Jingchen jumped up against the case, "Does Uncle Wang think that with the support of the Queen Mother, he can do whatever he wants in Kangyang County? I will tell you clearly, don't even think about it. You can let this person go." I have to let it go, and I have to let it go. Whoever dares to stop the raising of food, Gu will lift his head to see Imamami. You can go to the Queen Mother and her old man to sue me, and let her abolish me as the queen. As long as her old man I’m still willing to listen to the words of your unfilial son and grandson who sells officials and nobles.”

"You... you, you, you dare to make arrangements for the Queen Mother, you dare to disobey!" Li Pingsu got angry and pointed at her.Yun Zhong instantly grasped his wrist and turned away, only to hear a click, the Xiao Wang twisted his body and let out a cry of pain, and the eight palace guards outside the door drew their swords at the same time and rushed towards Yun Zhong, But the next moment, they were controlled by Ouchi's guards, and they fell to the ground one by one.

"Dare to commit crimes in front of the empress dowager, I think you don't want to live anymore! Pull them all out and execute them on the spot!" Yun Zhong shouted loudly, and the guards of the palace turned pale with fright, and fell to the ground begging for mercy.

Li Jingchen waved his hand and said, "I don't want to see blood today, so take it back and deal with it separately."

"No!" Yun Zhong waved his hand, and he was escorted out.

Li Jingchen walked out of the main hall, looked at the palace compound, and made up her mind, she knew that there was no turning back now.

"Cloud Seed!"

King Xiao stood up and pushed away everyone's support, "His Royal Highness, if you can't find anyone, even if I fight to the death, I will go to the Queen Mother and sue you for framing the emperor's uncle!"

Li Jingchen squinted at him: "Then let's talk about it after searching! Search!"

"Yes." Yun Zhong led a group of people to the backyard.

Seeing this, King Xiao didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly followed.

When they searched the attic, they accidentally saw two maidservants lying at the door, one of whom was stripped of her clothes.Yun Zhong stepped in and saw the housekeeper and two servants inside, his expression was extremely flustered.The cloud planted people to control them and went into the inner room, but no one was seen.There was only a pile of scattered clothes on the bed, and the long dress with pear blossoms and white embroidered purple cloud pattern was exactly what Hua Qing usually wore.

Li Pingsu rushed in in a hurry, seeing this situation, thinking that the butler had successfully transferred the person, he clapped his hands and laughed.Even the housekeeper tried his best to wink at him but didn't see it. He just talked quickly, "I have already said that the oiran is not in my mansion, but you don't believe me. Your Highness came to search my mansion without evidence, even if it is a disturbance." To the emperor's brother, this king also has a reason to say."

Li Jingchen, who came in afterward, saw the clothes in Yun Zhong's hands, and understood everything, his face was suddenly as cold as a millennium's frost.

Yun Zhong suddenly grabbed Xiao Wang by the collar, pressed him against the bed rail, and said through gritted teeth, "What did you do to her?"

Li Pingsu's chest was filled with joy, and his eyes showed a lustful look, "Heh, little general Mu asked this question, this king is a man, what else can I do to her?"

"you!!!"

"Yunzhong!" Li Jingzhu suddenly shouted coldly: "Let him go!"

"Your Highness..."

"I told you to let him go!"

Unwillingly, Yun Zhong let go of it and threw it on the ground, clenched his fists and turned his back, the regret in his eyes was clearly visible.

"Let's go!" Li Jingchen coldly gave Xiao Wang a look on the ground, his murderous aura made the surrounding people terrified.Li Pingsu got up without stopping, and said, "Just wait, the king has suffered such a great humiliation today, and he will definitely sue you at Zongzheng Temple!"

As soon as the words were finished, a guard rushed upstairs, "Your Highness, Miss Hua Qing has been found."

A strange look flashed across Li Jingchen's eyes, "Where is the man?"

"It's in the fake cave in front, it seems to be in a coma."

"Lead the way." Li Jingchen glanced back at Li Pingsu, then threw his sleeves away.The latter staggered, as if someone had choked his throat, unable to utter a sound.

"What's going on? Isn't it already transferred in advance?"

The butler supported him with a sad face, "Before the old servant had time, when he arrived, the oiran ran away first."

"Run... run?"

Li Pingsu seemed to have been hollowed out, his knees gave way, and he fell down on the bed.
