Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Li Zhi was startled, and suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.

Li Shimin grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, sighed twice, and then asked Li Zhi to calculate how long it would take to get back to Chang'an from Jinyang.

"According to the normal speed of the carriage, it will take half a month. If you ride a horse, it will take about seven or eight days, or it may be faster. But the nineteenth sister is going to play this time, and I think her speed should be slower. It will take at least a month to stay in Jinyang, Jinzhou."

Li Shimin stared: "Does it take that long? I remember delivering the letter from Jinyang, but it only takes one day!"

"Aye, it's eight hundred miles to send a message urgently, and we need to change people and horses. If the nineteenth sister and the others are rushing like this, they will definitely not be able to bear it." Li Zhi knew that his father was a wise king of a country, so he naturally understood how to send messages at post stations. Reasonable, but he is like a child now, he needs to be coaxed.

"Yes, yes, no rush, let her come back slowly, so as not to exhaust her body. But your sister grew up in the palace and is used to the food and lodging in the palace. She travels all the way, and the inn Will there be a rosewood bed painted and carved in gold and silver, so that she can sleep comfortably? The summer is scorching, can ice be used when it is hot? ?” After Li Shimin finished speaking, he looked at Li Zhi with questioning eyes.

Li Zhi pursed his lips, he felt that he really shouldn't have responded to Aye's words just now.

Seeing the helplessness on his son's face, Li Shimin knew in his heart that the answer to this series of questions was 'no', so he sighed resentfully, so that he was not in the mood to read the brochure Fang Qirui presented again.

"Sage, this is Jinzhou's memorial table." Fang Qirui said.

Li Shimin just picked it up to take a look, the content is nothing new, it's just some government reports in the middle of the year, talking about the peace and prosperity of Jinzhou.

Fang Qirui put it down after seeing Li Shimin take a look, and whispered, "It's from Jinzhou."

Li Shimin suddenly realized something, and became happy. He immediately wrote a letter to his precious daughter heartily, and wrote a reply to Jinzhou, and sent the letter to Jinzhou urgently.After expressing his thoughts to his daughter, Li Shimin felt relieved and could do whatever he had to do.

Seven days later, as soon as Li Mingda and others arrived in Jinzhou, they were invited to the mansion by Li Chongyi, the king of Hejian County who also served as the governor of Jinzhou.

Li Chongyi immediately gave the saint's letter to Li Mingda, and then hosted a grand banquet for everyone.After Li Mingda read the letter, he couldn't eat, so he took a rest on the grounds of being tired, and told everyone to just have fun and not worry about her.

Everyone knew that the princess missed her father because of reading the letter, so they all understood, and after accepting the order and thanking her, they all enjoyed Li Chongyi's banquet to the fullest.

Li Chongyi was worried that Li Mingda would be unhappy when he first came to live in the mansion, so he asked the princess of the county to take good care of Li Mingda before enjoying the scenery and drinking with Fang Yizhi, Yuchi Baoqi and others in the garden.When it was very dark, there were countless red lanterns hung inside and outside Qiaohu Lake, illuminating the bright lights on both sides of the lake.The night wind is blowing, refreshing and pleasant, which is completely opposite to the heat of the day. At this time, drinking and enjoying the scenery are the most comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

After the banquet is over, there is a lotus boat on the lake, and there are beautiful dancers in it to dance in response to the sound.The figure is enchanting, flitting lightly, and when the dancing posture is spinning, the silk is flying in the wind, just like the Nine Heavens Xuannv descending to the earth.

Yuchi Baoqi stood in the water pavilion and took a look, his eyes were full of smiles, and his face was full of flair.

"But I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in this land of Jin. It's our good fortune to meet you today."

"Baoqi, just pick whichever one you like, you don't have to be polite." Li Chongyi said.

Yuchi Baoqi glanced around with interest, then pointed to one of the green-clothed women holding a pipa, and shouted: "It's her, none of you are allowed to rob me."

"No one has your hobby." Cheng Chubi said.

Yuchi Baoqi glanced at Cheng Chubi dissatisfied, "Since ancient times, beauties love heroes, if no beauties are willing to be with you, it means that you are not very good, understand?" Yuchi Baoqi lightly hit Cheng Chubi with his fist Bute's chest was particularly firm, like a stone.

"It hurts my hand." Yuchi Baoqi laughed, "You are as strong as my elder brother."

"Then you should practice more instead of learning kung fu in bed." Di Renjie snickered and said to Yuchi Baoqi half-jokingly.

"That's right, kung fu in bed isn't kung fu anymore? In the future, you'll have to learn from me if you don't keep it all right." After Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, she proudly looked at the one who didn't know much about men and women among them, "Don't On weekdays, I always read and study, practice martial arts, and I don’t even understand the relationship between men and women, so much so that I even forget the important matter of passing on the family.”

When Yuchi Baoqi said this, the first thing he saw was Fang Yizhi, but he didn't dare to look too obvious, so he turned to look at Di Renjie exaggeratedly.

Everyone thought it was Yuchi Baoqi who was making fun of Di Renjie, and hurriedly said that Di Renjie was young and told Yuchi Baoqi not to spoil his good child.

Di Renjie blushed from the noise, "That's right, I still think that I should focus on studying, so I won't be like you."

Li Chongyi laughed happily and said: "When I was as old as Huaiying, I didn't understand anything. What everyone said is very true, Baoqi, you can go back to play, don't spoil her."

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly smiled and said no, then saw the boat coming, and hurriedly asked Li Chongyi to lead him there.Li Chongyi asked Fang Yizhi and others if they would go.

Fang Yizhi: "But I don't have his spirit, and I'm tired."

"Me too, I'll go back to rest with Brother Yi Zhi." Di Renjie said.

Li Chongyi looked at Cheng Chubi again, looking at his sullen face, it goes without saying that he knew that Fang Yizhi would definitely not be with them.Li Chongyi said sensibly first: "Guards tend to spend more energy than others, otherwise you would go back to rest earlier?"

"That's what I mean." Cheng Chubi respectfully saluted Li Chongyi.

Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie also left afterward, and the three left together.

Changsun Huan was leaning against the wooden pillar, smiling silently by the side all the time.When the three of them were gone, he clapped his hands and went straight.

"Okay, what's so good? People are gone, so it's a disappointment." Li Chongyi sighed with a smile.

"It's just that you don't understand. The three of them are the most disappointing. You can keep us to have fun. Now everyone can have a good time." Changsun Huan raised his eyebrows very happily, and said very happily.

"True or not?" Li Chongyi asked puzzled.

"Really." Yuchi Baoqi agreed, and immediately smiled knowingly with Changsun Huan.

"I heard that you children like to get along with Fang Yizhi the most, but why do you two hate him now?"

"We don't dare to despise him. It's just that when it comes to beauty, he will... When we finish talking, the beauties over there should also wait." Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the women on the boat, feeling more and more cheerful.

"Yes, yes, let's talk slowly on board." Li Chongyi said hurriedly.

When the three of them got on the boat, they ordered the singer to play the song.

The dancer Niao Na moved forward, knelt obediently beside the three of them, raised her slender hands, and poured wine with a smile.They are all full of fragrance and full of coquettishness. If an ordinary man gets a little closer to them, his whole body will feel numb, his heart itches unbearably, and he can't help but strike.But what kind of people are Li Chongyi, Yuchi Baoqi and Changsun Huan, they are from noble families, they never lack women around them, and they have met countless beauties, and now these women are the most beautiful, to them, they are just chatting and pastime That's all.They will be like those men who don't go through this way, anxiously thinking only about the lower body.

However, the young man's manners are elegant, and his advances and retreats are measured, which makes these dancers yearn even more. They all intend to conquer, so they frequently wink at him.

The three toasted and discussed, but only when they were free and interested, they would turn their eyes and smile to tease the woman beside them.

Li Chongyi respected Wei Chi Baoqi and Changsun Huan.After drinking, let the two quickly talk about what they hadn't finished before.

"Brother Yi Zhi is not close to women, no matter how many charming and enchanting women you find to throw at him, he will definitely be calm and undisturbed." Changsun Huan said.

Yuchi Baoqi had just put a mouthful of vegetables into his mouth, when he heard this, he shook his head and hummed to express his innocence.

Li Chongyi smiled and said: "Haha, you agree with this, right? Let me just say, there is no man who doesn't love beauty."

Yuchi Baoqi hurriedly swallowed what was in her mouth, and said to Li Chongyi: "I don't agree with his so-called 'not having a different color', it is clear that his face is full of 'disgust'. He is not good at being romantic, Forbidden to get close. It's quite confusing, so when you're looking for a woman to have fun, don't look for him, it will definitely spoil the fun."

"It's really like that?" Li Chongyi was somewhat amazed.

"That's it. Speaking of his temperament, I think it's because of his mother's strict education." Changsun Huan speculated.

Li Chongyi thought of Fang Xuanling's wife, and hurriedly sighed: "The name of the vinegar altar is indeed famous all over the world."

"But apart from this kind of thing, it's good for you to find him for other things. After spending a while with him, you will get some useful advice from him, a lot of principles of life. Somehow, from his mouth What he says is more listenable than others. After two visits, you find that what he said is right, and you naturally feel like making friends with him.”

"It's very rare to make this friend, and it's a blessing." Li Chongyi nodded.

Changsun Huan responded with a smile, and asked Li Chongyi to go back and contact Fang Yi twice more, so he would naturally know how powerful this person is.

"Hearing what you two said, then I have to give it a try." Li Chongyi finished laughing and raised his glass again.

When the wine was half drunk, Li Chongyi couldn't help feeling that he had stayed in Jinzhong for a long time, and he rarely knew anything new about Chang'an, so let the two of them talk about it.With this opening, there is more to say.

So the three of them went boating in the lake until late at night, and when they had the most fun, the three of them went to rest separately.

The dancers who served Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoqi called Lianye and Lianhua respectively.The lotus flower is slightly more beautiful, and it also has some singing talents.After disembarking, the two followed Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoqi back to their rooms respectively.

After Lianhua helped the dazed Yuchi Baoqi to the bed, she wanted to take off her clothes and went to bed with her.In the end, she didn't know that as soon as one of her legs rested on the edge of the bed, Yuchi Baoqi stretched out her hand and directly pushed and pressed her chest.

Lianhua froze for a moment, then blushed, smiled and turned around as if shy.

Yuchi Baoqi's eyes slowly opened a slit, "Go back to your own room and rest, it's no trouble to wait on me for so long."

After Yuchi Baoqi finished speaking, she touched her waist, pulled out a jade pendant and put it on the lotus flower.

Lianhua saw the jade pendant was cold and moistened her hands, she knew it was very valuable, she thanked her quickly, but she didn't want to leave, so she insisted on serving Yuchi Baoqi.

"Don't be ignorant."

"Erlang, what's the matter, before in the lotus boat, you loved and caressed my concubine in every possible way, and now my concubine is willing to be with—"

"roll."

Lianhua suddenly thought that she had heard wrongly, she was stunned for a while, and then went to look at Yuchi Baoqi, but she didn't see his original pair of drunken and blurred eyes, the eyes were pitch black, cold and a bit scary.

"This--"

"roll."

Lianhua was so frightened that she turned pale in panic, saluted hurriedly, and retreated in embarrassment.

……

The next day happened to be the Qiqiao Festival. Jinzhou City had a flower god meeting during the day and a lantern show at night.The streets are crowded with people, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere, which is very lively.

In order to make Li Mingda happy, the princess of the county specially sent the maid beside her to lead the way for Li Mingda, so that she could have a lively and lively time at the flower god meeting, and it happened to be a chance to have a look at the flower god selection.

"What is the flower god?" Li Mingda asked.

"That's what you are asking. Since the beginning of the year, the unmarried ladies of each family have been preparing for this event, just to make a splash today." The county concubine Zhou said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law still hasn't explained it to me." Li Mingda pulled her arm affectionately, telling her to speak quickly.

Mrs. Zhou: "Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you briefly. Today, all the unmarried ladies in the city can bring a pot of flowers they raised, and everyone will judge, whoever grows the best and most beautiful flowers will win the prize." Potted flowers can be named this year's Flower God. And the little lady who raises the Flower God will be called the Flower Goddess and will be admired and praised by everyone."

"It's interesting, but what's the benefit of being a flower goddess? Everyone is fighting like this? Just for praise?"

"In the past, all the women who were named Flower Goddesses had both ability and political integrity, and they were role models for all women. After a long time, this Flower Goddess was naturally considered as the most dignified woman selected. So every year, the Flower Goddess will It is considered to be a grand event for the selection of the first Defang woman in Jinzhou. No matter who the woman is, as long as she has the status of a flower goddess, it is not difficult to marry. Afterwards, the suitor will definitely step through the threshold. This is related to women Do you think it's important for a lifetime event?" When Zhou said this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "I have also been in it."

"I didn't believe it at first, but seeing my sister-in-law like this, I think it's right. My sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and she has all the talents and virtues, but she deserves it." Li Mingda praised.

Mrs. Zhou was coaxed by Li Mingda to laugh from ear to ear, "Sister-in-law likes to hear what you said. But I can't join in the fun at the Flower God Meeting. Would you like to try it? There are still some beautiful flowers in the palace. , you just take a pot, and based on your appearance and talent, you will definitely be selected."

Li Mingda nodded in approval, and said without self-effacing: "I think so too."

Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and pushed Li Mingda, "You girl!"

Li Mingda laughed and said: "Just teasing my sister-in-law, the flowers are not raised by myself, so what's the fun of falsification and meddling. Besides, the competition in the Flower God Association must be very fierce, why bother to block the good opportunity of finding a son-in-law?" .”

"My younger sister sees clearly." Mrs. Zhou held Li Mingda's hand strangely, feeling that she also wanted a daughter, and it would be best if she was as sweet and considerate as her.

"Then I want one." Li Mingda joked.

Mrs. Zhou froze for a moment, shook her head with a wry smile, "I'm old but I can't afford it, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. Your cousin and I have long been married. How can we have such interest."

"When my mother gave birth to me, she was as old as my sister-in-law, and later she had a 21-year-old sister." Li Mingda thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and said, "But the most important thing is to take care of your body, live a long life, and watch your children get married. Wife married..."

Knowing that Li Mingda must be thinking of Empress Changsun, Mrs. Zhou felt regretful, so she hurriedly reassured her, and led the conversation to the Flower God Meeting.

"If you don't go out, you will miss the best excitement. The selection of the flower god is on the flower god stage in the east of the city. If it is later, it will be crowded and you can't get in."

"Well, I'll go early. After watching the Flower God Meeting, my sister-in-law will take me around Jinzhou City. I'll eat something good and have fun. I'll leave as soon as possible." Li Mingda said.

Mrs. Zhou raised her eyebrows, "I just stayed here for a day, and you want to leave?"

"Father misses me, and I miss him too." Li Mingda smiled sweetly at Mrs. Zhou, and said goodbye to her, but prepared to travel with the maids that Mrs. Zhou had given her before.

Everyone loves beauty, especially men.

This Huashenhui is a place where beauties gather, and it is not comparable to those vulgar fans of Fengyue.All of them are from good families, knowledgeable and reasonable, and each has its own talent.

Li Chongyi's love of beauty follows his father Li Xiaogong's. Although he has kept many beautiful women in the mansion, he is a person who is not lecherous, rather than possessing beauty, he prefers to appreciate beauty.

Therefore, for today's Flower God Meeting, Li Chongyi booked the best seat in Jinzhou city as early as three months ago.Auspicious restaurant, Tianzi No. [-] private room on the third floor, the location is not too far, not too close, condescending just right.Knowing that Fang Yizhi, Cheng Chubi and others were not good at this, Li Chongyi only invited Yuchi Baoqi and Changsun Huan to watch it today.

After Yuchi Baoqi went upstairs, she saw the grand occasion downstairs, it can be described as crowded with people and noisy.Looking at the Huashen Terrace, there is a large wooden platform, three feet square, with green gauze screens on the left and right sides, behind the screen is a rectangular table with low legs, and behind the table are rows of seats.The seats are naturally used for the women participating in the meeting to rest temporarily, and the table should be used for placing flower pots.

There is still a full hour before the flower god meeting starts, but people have almost gathered in front of the stage. There are restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street here, with private rooms.

These excellent viewing places in the shop have been fully booked as early as January.If you want to temporarily get a place today, it will cost a lot of money.

When Li Mingda rode over at this time, seeing the lively scene, he realized that what the princess said was not an exaggeration at all.

The maids of the princess of the county then went to the Dewang tea shop, found someone, and immediately a private room was vacated.Li Mingda didn't know that it was difficult to get a room, but thought that the teahouse belonged to the princess, so she asked her maid to come here to deal with it.

After Li Ming arrived at the private room, he inspected the room and found that there were many famous calligraphy and paintings in the room, and some literati inscribed poems, knowing that this place is very popular with elegant people.

Since it was to watch the fun, of course Li Mingda had to sit by the window and take a good look at the scenery outside the window.

Where Li Chongyi was located was diagonally opposite Li Mingda.

At this time Li Chongyi ordered wine and dishes, intending to have a drink with Yuchi Baoqi and Changsun Huan first.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Mingda immediately recognized Li Chongyi's voice clearly amidst the noise.Li Mingda followed the sound and saw the three people upstairs diagonally opposite.

Afterwards, Li Mingda heard Li Chongyi talk about the origin of the Jinzhou Flower God Association, and then told Yuchi Baoqi how the women who had won the name of Flower God over the years had their own merits and differences.

Li Mingda was bored anyway, anyway, even if she didn't want to hear these voices, she would hear them, so why not listen carefully, maybe there is some fun in it.But in the end, Li Mingda still felt bored, so he kept tapping on the window sill with his fingers, making a small thumping sound.

Seeing this, Tian Hanshu knew what his princess was thinking, so he asked if the sencha was not to the taste, or the fruit was not to his liking.After all, this is a small teahouse, and the things prepared are not as fine as those in the Wangfu.

"This man likes to talk about women when he gets together?" Li Mingda asked Tian Hanshan.

Tian Hanshu was stunned, and then thought about it seriously, "I should talk about it occasionally, but not every time."

"How many times out of ten?" Li Mingda asked.

Tian Hanshan pondered for a while, "But it also divides people. If you are a young and energetic boy, you will say at least five or six times. If you are older, reduce it appropriately."

"Then the king of Hejian must have rejuvenated." Li Mingda couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Rejuvenate?" Tian Hanshan calmed down and asked the princess how she knew.Since he arrived at the palace, he has been by the princess's side and never left. How did the princess know that King Hejian likes to talk about women?

"It's a coincidence that he appeared again." Li Mingda stared downstairs, and locked his eyes on a man in white in the crowd.

Tian Hanxi hurriedly looked over, but only saw countless black heads moving, his eyes were almost dazzled, but he still couldn't tell which one was familiar.

"Zhang Shunxin, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, the dim sum he made is something I will never forget." Tian Han said.

"It's him, he also came to see the Flower God's Meeting. What we said before, his family may be outside Bianzhou City, but now it seems that he is really following us." Li Mingda found that Zhang Shunxin's attention did not seem to be on the Flower God's Meeting. , didn't look at the situation on the stage, but turned his head and looked around, as if looking for something, and then he kept moving towards Li Mingda's direction.

Finally, Zhang Shunxin arrived in front of the Dewang tea shop, suddenly looked up, his eyes wandered between the windows on the second floor, and finally found Li Mingda, and made eye contact with her.

Zhang Shunxin was astonished, and hurriedly looked away, like a child who admitted his mistake, stood there with his head bowed and motionless.

Li Mingda ignored him for now.

She drank the tea in her hand immediately, then turned around and leaned against the window, and found that Zhang Shunxin was still standing there as before.

Looking at him like this, he is extremely stubborn, he probably won't leave unless he sees someone.It just so happened that she was waiting for the flower god meeting to start, and she was bored, so she ordered Tian Hanshan to go downstairs and ask him what was the matter.

After a while, Li Mingda heard Tian Hanshan's voice reprimanding Zhang Shunxin downstairs.

Zhang Shunxin lowered his head deeply, and Hetian Hanshan said frankly: "I guessed that the identity of your master must be different, and I was really moved by selfishness. I wanted to meet by chance and walk together all the way. When I want to get along with some feelings, I will do it again." implore him."

"Oh, you're really full of calculations. Tell me what you want." Tian Han said.

"But you have to tell him yourself."

"Then you wait here, no one cares about you." Tian Hanshu said, turned and left.

Zhang Shunxin knelt down with a plop, begging Tian Hanshan.Due to the crowds around, Zhang Shunxin's actions immediately attracted the surrounding people to watch.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi was even more angry, turned around and went upstairs, intending to tell Li Mingda what had happened.

But before he could speak, the princess said, "Let him come up."

Tian Hanshu choked, and had to lead Zhang Shunxin up.

When Zhang Shunxin saw Li Mingda, he humbly confessed his crimes, and before Li Mingda questioned him, he took the initiative to admit that he really intended to follow Li Mingda and the others along the way.

Seeing that he was honest, Li Mingda asked him why.

Zhang Shunxin knelt down to Li Mingda first, "Although I don't know the identity of the nobleman, I know that the nobleman must be someone who can help me solve my problems. After I sold dim sum that day, I heard everyone talking about a nobleman from Chang'an at the post station, so I worried I remembered this. Later, when I encountered some accidents and heard that the nobles were going to Jindi, I decided that it was God’s will and asked the nobles to help me. So I set up a coincidence and wanted to go with the nobles, but I failed gone."

Zhang Shun paused for a moment, and then said: "As soon as I arrived in Jinzhou, I found out that the nobleman lived in the Hejian Palace, and I became more and more sure that the nobleman's identity is different, and it really helped me. I was impatient, and I offended you just now. !"

After Zhang Shunxin finished speaking, he saluted Li Mingda and apologized.

"It's a little awkward to be a nobleman. I told you earlier. Just call me Nineteen Lang." Li Mingda looked at Zhang Shunxin seriously, and saw that he was surprised when he heard the words, and he seemed to have a thousand words, and then sent Tian Hanshan to prepare paper and ink , and ordered people to record everything Zhang Shunxin said.

"I was originally from Cizhou, Jin. I escaped from my home in order to avoid my father in the early years. Then I traveled around and found that Taiwu County has a very beautiful scenery. I lived there for five years. These years, my family didn’t know where I was, and I didn’t tell them that I was in Taiwu County. The more time passed, the more I missed my family, so at the beginning of June, I sent a letter to Brother. Unexpectedly, when I received another reply, my elder brother and sister-in-law would already be dead."

"Your brother died suddenly, you should go to the funeral, why are you following me?" Li Mingda asked puzzled.

"That's the way it should be. We should go to the funeral well. But it doesn't make much difference if you go to the funeral sooner or later. If they die unjustly, finding out who killed them is more important than anything else."

"Why do you think you died in vain?"

"The housekeeper said in the letter that my brother was bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was blue, and his lips were deep purple. This was obviously a sign of poisoning, but because the children in the family were afraid of villains, they didn't dare to delve into the matter, so they had to swallow their anger and bury the two of them." .”

"If someone reported his death in vain, why did you come to me because of this?" Li Mingda asked.

"Because the murderer who killed my brother was Ji Zhiyuan."

"Ji Zhiyuan?" Li Mingda raised his eyebrows.

"His uncle is Li Daozong, who is the same great-grandfather as today's saints." Zhang Shunxin explained.

Li Mingda understood.

Zhang Shunxin: "Ji Zhiyuan is frivolous and brutal. He was a bully in Cizhou's generation. He used the strong to bully the weak and the many to tyrannize the few. He ran rampant in the village. I heard that he had already killed several people, but because of his uncle's face , can still get away with it and live freely. I am not convinced!"

How could he do such a rebellious thing just because he was associated with the royal family?Li Mingda is a little hard to believe, but there is a saying that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake. After all, Cizhou is no better than Chang'an, and it is possible to have some bullies.Li Mingda asked Zhang Shunxin about his identity, and only then learned that he was actually the second younger brother of the governor of Cizhou.

Only now did Li Mingda understand why he came to him.The governor is a high official in Cizhou, if he really died in vain, if someone wants to make decisions about it, he should find someone higher than the governor to take care of him.

Li Mingda looked at Zhang Shunxin, and asked why he suspected that the sudden death of his brother and sister-in-law was related to Li Zhiyuan.

"The steward told me in the letter that Li Zhi Yuantian's house was overrun, and my elder brother repeatedly advised him to restrain himself, but he knew how to sing and dance all day long, and he didn't care about it at all. So my elder brother ordered someone to demolish his house. The house, the land was confiscated, so that he took revenge for it, came to his brother several times, fed the poison to the fresh chicken on the spot, and warned my brother that if he controlled him, he would end up like the chicken. Two days after this incident, My father died of poisoning and bleeding from seven orifices. Tell me, does this matter have anything to do with him?"

"So the reason you came to me is to make decisions for you? Do you know who I am?" Li Mingda asked.

"I know, the grass people pay their respects to the princess!" Zhang Shunxin hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, "Because of making dim sum, I met someone from the post station in Taiwu County. After detailed inquiries, I found out your identity as the princess."

"Knowing that I am a princess, but at the beginning, I pretended not to know." Li Mingda was quite dissatisfied with Zhang Shunxin's "princess". If you praise me a few words for being powerful and wise, I will intervene in this matter? The murder case is a matter for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. You also know that I am a princess, so if you don’t change to meddle in local government affairs, I can help you report your matter, but as for Others, sorry I can't help."

Hearing this, Zhang Shunxin hurriedly kowtowed to Li Mingda, begging her to help him, "The officials in Ji Zhiyuan and Jin had a good relationship, and the head of the village drank and had fun with them on weekdays, and they were in cahoots. If the princess can't decide for me, My brother and sister-in-law will die in vain, and let the culprits run free!"

Zhang Shunxin yelled loudly, which made Li Mingda's ears ache.

"You need to calm down." After Li Mingda said, he asked Tian Hanshan to take him down.

At this time, Zhang Shunxin suddenly took out a knife from his chest and pressed it against his neck.He was very cruel to himself, he only took a knife to measure Bo's neck, blood was seen on his neck, and a shallow gash was cut.

Zhang Shunxin looked deathly at home, "If the princess doesn't help me, I will die in front of the princess."

"Are you forcing me?" Li Mingda narrowed his eyes, his tone full of displeasure.

"If my death can be used to exchange the princess's attention to my brother and sister-in-law's murder, I will not die unjustly." After finishing speaking, Zhang Shunxin raised his hand fiercely to stab the knife in his neck.

Li Mingda opened his eyes slightly.

Seeing this, Cheng Chubi leapt forward and grabbed Zhang Shunxin's knife-holding wrist, then knocked the knife off his hand heavily, telling him not to be impulsive.

"I'm not impulsive, I've thought about it a long time ago, if the princess doesn't agree, I will die here." Zhang Shunxin burst into tears, like a madman who lost his mind.

Li Mingda frowned.

At this time, because of the loud noise from Li Mingda's side, Li Chongyi and others diagonally opposite were alarmed.

He, Yuchi Baoqi, and Changsun Huan then rushed over with others. Seeing this situation, the three of them were stunned, but even more angry.

Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie also came at some time, and then went upstairs.When the two saw that Li Mingda was well, their nervousness eased a little.

"Who is this person?" Li Chongyi frowned and looked at this man who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly, with no dignity at all.

"It is said that he is the second younger brother of the governor of Cizhou, Zhang Shunxin." Li Mingda said.

"Cizhou governor? Didn't he die last month?" Li Chongyi asked in surprise.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shunxin shivered.

Li Mingda looked at Li Chongyi intently, wanting to listen to his next words.

"Earlier I heard that their Zhang family has a son who has not heard from home, could it be you?" Li Chongyi lowered his head and asked Zhang Shunxin.

Zhang Shunxin raised his eyes to look at Li Chongyi, but with an attitude of being too lazy to answer his words, he lowered his head, then kept kowtowing to Li Mingda, crying bitterly, asking her to help him find the real culprit who killed his brother and sister-in-law.

At this moment, everyone could see that Zhang Shunxin even dared to disrespect the king of Hejian, he had the guts.

"Why should the princess agree to you? What are you! Someone, detain him!" Li Chongyi became angry when he saw that he disrespected him.

Zhang Shunxin glanced at Li Chongyi, and sneered, "Okay, you want to kill me right now? You can't ask for it, just let the princess see how you Jin officials persecute good people!"

Li Chongyi was so angry that he turned around and ordered his followers to take the crazy Zhang Shunxin into prison.

Li Mingda immediately heard a tearing sound, and then there were hurried footsteps rushing towards the window.

Then, with a bang, something fell from the second floor.

Li Chongyi and others hurriedly went to the window to look, when they heard screams coming from downstairs.

Li Mingda stood motionless by the window, and suddenly looked directly at Fang Yi standing at the door.
