Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

Wei Zheng's nose is not big, but at the moment he was so angry at Wei Shuyu's words that his nostrils were dilated, and he was about to prick it up.

"Shang lord is the supreme honor. How did it get into your mouth, and it became a bad thing if you stick to your body? Who taught you that if you become a princess, you will not be famous in history. Have you read the history books for nothing? Then you will be honored by Pingyang Chang!" Princess Wei Qing is not as good as you?"

Wei Shuyu listened to his father's arrogance, and honestly lowered his head and remained silent.

"Furthermore, they said they wanted to choose you as a son-in-law? Princess Jinyang said they liked you? It made you feel like you were really going to be chosen as a son-in-law. You seemed unwilling and had to run away. When you go to Anzhou, it is clear that you are asked to investigate the case. You can tell me how much you have contributed to the investigation of the Anzhou case. In the memorandum submitted by King Wu, Fang Yizhi, Yuchi Baoqi and all of them have praised it all over, except you. You said you were delayed on the way and arrived late, a sage may believe it, but I don't believe it!" Wei Zheng hated to scold Wei Shuyu for being insane.

Wei Shuyu has a bright personality since he was a child, smart and sensible.Wei Zheng had always placed high hopes on him, and was very optimistic about him. Knowing that he was a fault-finding person, he usually praised and encouraged him a lot.But he never expected that at some point, this child would become so self-willed and arrogant.

Wei Shuyu continued to sulk his head, letting his father scold him, but he was not convinced in his heart.He felt that it was good for him to plan ahead. If he really waited for others to see him before rejecting him, it would only delay his and his father's future.

Wei Zheng looked at his son's forehead and continued to scold him, "How do you know that the sage didn't intend to train you juniors? If he sent you this time, if he only wanted to give you a chance to show your talents, and select capable ones for future use Important position. Are you a bit worse than Fang Yizhi and the others?

The saint's first-born princess can be honored if you want.Look at who Princess Changle has favored, what are you, you really think that you look better with my light, and you are a sought-after mustache. "

Wei Shuyu still bowed his head, but this time both of them tightly gripped his robe, as if only in this way could he endure his father's ridicule and abuse.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng became even angrier, and was about to scold him for being impolite, but was stopped by Mrs. Pei's support.

"Okay, okay, Shuyu also knows that he is wrong, Mr. Lang, please don't say a few words about him." Pei Shi looked at Wei Shuyu distressedly, waved his hand, and signaled him to leave quickly.

Wei Zheng stared at Pei Shi, shook his hands and snorted coldly, but he didn't call Wei Shuyu to stop him, so he let him go.

Wei Shuyu returned to the room in a fit of anger, and overturned the iced lychees that the maid had just brought.

"Dalang, this thing is precious. It took a lot of trouble to transport it from the South China Sea. Our family got three dishes in total. No matter how others want to eat it, they don't have it." The maid squatted on the ground to pick it up, planning to bring it after washing. .

Wei Shuyu looked at her with lowered eyes, raised his foot and crushed two of them, "Take it as a rarity, take it away!"

"Brother, what are you doing? My mother is only willing to give me ten of such a precious thing, but you got a plate, and you got so cheap here." Wei Wanshu walked into the room and sat down unhappy.

Wei Shuyu took one look at his sister, then sent his maid to wash all the lychees for Wei Wanshu.

"It's what I love. After being trampled on by my elder brother like this, I suddenly don't want to eat it." Wei Wanshu lowered her eyes halfway, expressing displeasure, "Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to you."

"Okay, I won't send you off." Wei Shuyu said.

Wei Wanshu suddenly raised her head and laughed at Wei Shuyu, "Then I'll keep it."

Wei Shuyu looked at her helplessly, his temper calmed down a lot, then he sat down beside her and asked her why she wanted him.

"I heard that elder brother just came back, so I came to take a look. I wanted to ask you if there was anything interesting about your trip to Anzhou this time. Let me listen to it. I didn't want elder brother to be throwing fire, but I just happened to bump into him." Wei Wanshu looked The servant girl brought up the cleaned lychees again, took out a peeled one and stuffed it into her mouth.

After Wei Wanshu spat out her core, she sighed.

"Why, the taste is not right?" Wei Shuyu asked.

"Of course it's not right. This method of storing lychees is to leave a small inch of lychee, seal it with wax, and store it in honey water. After a month or two, it will be transported, and the taste will definitely be different from the original one," Wei Wanshu said. Well, I took the second one, peeled it and stuffed it into my mouth.

Wei Shuyu laughed at her: "I don't know what the original taste is, you just eat it, why bother to think so much."

"It's out of people's control, and the elder brother is the same. Did the elder brother think too much about the Anzhou matter?" Wei Wanshu reminded.

Wei Shuyu's face turned cold when he heard this, "So you came here to laugh at me!"

"But I dare not. I just don't understand why my elder brother has a good straight road instead of taking a bend. I don't even think about it. Heroes have to be useful. No one gives you a chance. How can you show your talent? If you change It's me, I must first grab the heart of Princess Jinyang. She is favored in front of the saint and coaxes her to be happy, don't you worry about having a chance to be famous all over the world?" Wei Wanshu smiled, her eyes full of shrewdness.

Wei Shuyu looked at Wei Wanshu intently, and frowned.

Wei Wanshu knew that Wei Shuyu had listened to her words, so she smiled and asked her maid, Yuan Yue, to take the lychees away, bowed slightly, and left first.

Yuan Yue: "Da Lang is already in a bad mood, why did you say those things to Da Lang?"

"My family, he is honored, and we will all follow suit." Wei Wanshu paused, turned her head and looked at Wei Shuyu's direction solemnly, hoping that he would have an epiphany and not let her down.

……

Jinzhou, Hejian Palace.

The sky was tightly surrounded by dense layers of dark clouds, gloomy, as if about to fall to the ground.Suddenly there was a flash of light between the dark clouds in the northeast, followed by a huge boom.

It is going to rain.

Li Mingda stood by the door, looking up at the sky.

Her eyes are black and white, and because she looks up, her eyes appear bigger, sparkling, and clear to the bottom.She was dressed in a dark green dress, plain and elegant. It was originally an inconspicuous dress, but it did not appear mediocre at all when worn on her, and she had a bit of lightness and elegance.

Fang Yi slowed down his pace until he reached the Banyue gate, then turned his eyes to the guards.

Yuchi Baoqi behind him suddenly passed him in a daze, and bumped into the bodyguard.Yuchi Baoqi came back to her senses, and repeatedly apologized to the guards.

"I'm lost in thought about something important, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Yuchi Baoqi didn't put on airs, the guard sincerely apologized, hurriedly said nothing, and asked again: "But you want to see the princess?"

Fang Yizhi stepped forward, pulled Yuchi Baoqi behind him, and nodded to the guards, "Let me know."

Seeing the guards go in, Fang Yi turned his head and patted Yuchi Baoqi on the shoulder.Yuchi Baoqi smiled bitterly in embarrassment.

"What happened to you?"

"Uh," Yuchi Baoqi glanced at the courtyard, immediately looked away, and looked around nervously, "I still don't feel well, so I won't accompany you to meet the princess, I... I'll go back and rest first."

Fang Yizhi nodded suspiciously, said "OK", and watched Yuchi Baoqi leave.Look at him walking unsteadily, stumbling from time to time, completely lacking the suave demeanor before.

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing this, Di Renjie, who was accompanying him, was puzzled, "He's been acting abnormal these two days."

Seeing that the guard who sent the message has returned, Fang Yi told Di Renjie not to worry about him, and he will recover in a few days.

After Yuchi Baoqi hurried back to the house, he drove away the idlers and others, and then closed the door.Afterwards, he wandered around the room like a headless fly. He spared the table, walked to the bed, turned around and ran to the bed, took off his shoes, and closed his eyes.

After a while, Yuchi Baoqi immediately opened his eyes, and fanned himself on the head with a fan.

"Come here, fetch water for a bath," Yuchi Baoqi shouted towards the door, seeing people talking back and forth, turned around to go, he added, "I want cold water."

Fang Yizhi had explained to Li Mingda about Li Chongyi's decision to go to Cizhou to investigate the case.

"The king of the county sent us a message to invite us to go together. I wonder if the princess is willing to go with me?"

"Go." Li Mingda replied without hesitation, "Since the king of the county invited you all to go, it would be troublesome for me to stay here alone. Why don't we just go together. When the case is over, we will go from Cizhou to Jinyang, and then we will go to Jinyang from Cizhou. Jinyang returns directly to Chang'an."

Ever since Li Mingda saw his father's letter, he didn't want to spend too long on the road. Walking like this would save time.But I was afraid that the case would not be solved, so I discussed with Fang Yizhi and others, hoping that everyone would work together to investigate this case and try to close the case within three days.

Fang Yizhi agreed without any objection, and then left with a shocked Di Renjie.

After leaving the hospital, Di Renjie asked Fang Yizhi: "Within three days? Is it too urgent?"

"If it can be investigated, and everyone works together, it will not be short within three days. If it cannot be investigated, it will take three to five years, ten years or eight years, and it may not be broken. We cannot waste too long on this."

The princess has good eyes and ears, if this case is really caused by Ji Zhiyuan's poisonous hands as Zhang Shunxin said, then three days is enough for them.

Di Renjie nodded half-understood, he still felt it was a bit exaggerated, but since the princess and brother Yi Zhi thought it was feasible, he would be happy to witness their speedy process of solving the case.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie became a little excited.

"Let's go back to each other, it will rain soon." Fang Yi raised his head and said.

Di Renjie was still in a state of excitement. He rubbed his hands, happily agreed, and couldn't wait to go back and ask someone to pack his luggage and prepare for tomorrow's departure.

Fang Yizhi stopped before going back to his own yard, and turned his head to look at the residence of Yuchi Baoqi in the neighboring courtyard.He turned his feet in the direction of Yuchi Baoqi's courtyard, and after walking a few steps, he heard a woman's panting faintly coming from his courtyard.Fang Yizhi immediately stopped, turned around and walked quickly back to his room.

Seeing the thunderstorm falling, people should wait to hide from the rain in the house, but Zhou Xiaohe, who has been lost since yesterday's flower god meeting, can't bear it anymore. She stood up and asked her maid Ruchun to pack her luggage quickly.

"Prepare a few sets of clothes, bring my favorite jewelry, and the two boxes of rouge and gouache that my aunt gave me."

Ruchun was puzzled, "Does Sanniang want to go out?"

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaohe immediately grabbed her skirt and went out, said goodbye to her mother vigorously, and then hurried to Hejian Palace in a car.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Hejian Prince's Mansion, there was another thunderclap, and sparse heavy raindrops began to fall.

Ruchun hurriedly opened an umbrella for Zhou Xiaohe and followed him inside.

Princess Zhou suddenly heard that her niece was coming, she was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly smiled and asked people to greet her.

Zhou Xiaohe entered the house with a gust of wind, and when he saw the princess, he saluted her with joy, and seeing the princess warmly stretched out his hand to her, Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly fell into the arms of the princess, happily saying that she missed her.

"I miss you too. I haven't seen you here for a long time. But there is one thing to explain. I'm naturally happy that you came, but don't go out on a thunderstorm day like today." Zhou took Zhou Xiaohe's hand and said worriedly .

Zhou Xiaohe nodded shyly, "Xiaohe will always remember my aunt's teachings. The reason why today is too late is because I have been preparing for the flower god meeting a few days ago, and I have been too busy all day long. Yesterday's incident was finally over. The more I miss my aunt, the more I can't help but come even in the rain."

After Zhou Xiaohe finished speaking, she held Zhou's arms in both hands and acted like a baby, leaning her head on her shoulder, being extremely intimate with her.

Mrs. Zhou has long been used to Zhou Xiaohe's behavior, so she pinched her cheek with a smile, "Since you're here, let's stay for a few more days before leaving."

"I have this plan, so even if my aunt sends me away, I will not go." Zhou Xiaohe said coquettishly again, and then she lowered her eyes, and her whole body gradually became bored.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou asked puzzled.

Zhou Xiaohe pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. When she raised her eyes again, it was raining with pear blossoms.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou was very distressed. With a cry of "Ouch", she hurriedly hugged her in her arms, "My darling, I have been wronged. Tell me quickly, otherwise my heart will be more stuffy and uncomfortable than yours."

"Xiao He has not been wronged, it is a matter of the Flower Goddess Association, Xiaohe failed to give face to her aunt and parents, and was never selected as a Flower Goddess. I thought I would become a Flower Goddess like my aunt, but..." When Zhou Xiaohe said this, he burst into tears.

Zhou was stunned for a moment before thinking of this incident.It was because the king of the county was disturbed for a while at the flower god meeting yesterday, and he was a little angry when he came back. Mrs. Zhou was only busy with his side, and in addition to arranging the accommodation and food of the distinguished guests in the mansion, she left the big matter of her niece choosing the flower goddess to her. forget.

Mrs. Zhou felt ashamed, and felt sorry for Zhou Xiaohe even more, so she hurriedly explained: "It's not your fault, I heard what happened that day, it's because the princess is here. Let's not worry, there is still next year."

After Zhou's words, she picked up the handkerchief and wiped away Zhou Xiaohe's tears.

Zhou Xiaohe nodded obediently, "The princess has never shown up before, but she used the name of Defang to overwhelm the audience, which made Xiaohe admire. Xiaohe couldn't help yearning for it, so today, one is to see her aunt, and the other is to see her." In order to pay homage to the princess, learn from her well."

Zhou shook her head with a smile, "Forget it, I think your one is incidental, and the other is sincerity. But after you mentioned it, I am even more surprised. Since the princess has never shown up, why did everyone suddenly call the princess?" ?”

Zhou Xiaohe shook her head, "I also find it strange that I was the loudest, but suddenly a group of people called out Princess Jinyang, and then everyone followed suit."

Mrs. Zhou: "Forget it, don't worry about it. We, Xiao He, are both talented and beautiful, but we won't be selected this time, and there will be a next time. You are like a flower, so lovely, and you will definitely be selected next time."

Zhou Xiaohe was so shy after being praised, she nodded and smiled sweetly, a little embarrassed.

At this time, the torrential rain came suddenly, like pouring.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohe felt very regretful, "I was going to greet the princess, but now I can't."

"The weather is bad today, wait and see, if the rain stops in the evening, I will take you there."

Immediately, Mrs. Zhou described to Zhou Xiaohe how the princess is a person with both talent and appearance, and a wise personality.Hearing Zhou Xiaohe's admiration even more, she begged Zhou Shi admiringly to take her to meet the princess, which was considered her wish come true.

At dusk, the east wind suddenly blew up, and then the heavy rain gradually stopped.

As Zhou said, Zhou Xiaohe was lucky to have the opportunity to meet the princess.

Li Mingda just took advantage of the heavy rain and the oppressive darkness to sleep, but he slept soundly. After waking up to freshen up, he was very refreshed.Then he heard that Mrs. Zhou was going to bring her niece to visit him, so Li Mingda went to greet him.

In fact, the two talked on the way before they arrived, and Li Mingda overheard a few words.Feeling a coincidence in his heart, he saw Mrs. Zhou bring Zhou Xiaohe into the door.

Zhou Xiaohe was very polite. After seeing Li Mingda respectfully, he half nodded his head in a very humble manner.

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly told her not to be rigid, "Princess is the kindest person. You look like we will eat you."

Zhou Xiaohe raised his head slightly and looked in Li Mingda's direction, waiting for his order.

Li Mingda had a pair of eyes with her, but he was attracted by her big watery eyes, which was very cute.Li Mingda also said: "You don't need to be too polite."

Zhou Xiaohe hurriedly thanked Li Mingda, turned around with a sweet smile on her face, and stood beside Zhou's side obediently.

"Yesterday you were outstanding at the Flower God Meeting." Li Mingda said to Zhou Xiaohe.

Zhou Xiaohe hastily saluted and said that he did not dare, "Xiaohe has a mediocre appearance and a stupid temper, and she is not as good as the princess with a finger."

"If I have a finger as 'mediocre' as you, I must thank God." As soon as Li Mingda said this, he immediately reconciled the atmosphere present, and everyone laughed.

Zhou Xiaohe was not as reserved as before, and chatted wittily with her aunt and Li Mingda.

Just when it was time for dinner, the three women gathered at the table, made some delicious side dishes, and drank some wine, which was quite lively.

After chatting, we talked about the Flower God Meeting.

Li Mingda expressed his attitude directly, she didn't want to be shouted like that by everyone yesterday.Ask Zhou Xiaohe again, do you know why those people suddenly called her.

Zhou Xiaohe was startled for a moment, then shook his head, hesitant to speak.

Li Mingda could tell at a glance that she was hiding something, and told her to tell the truth.

"I can guess, but I may not be sure," Zhou Xiaohe immediately talked about the young lady of the Sun family, and then wanted to explain the origin of the young lady of the Sun family to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda smiled, "I think the wife of Jinzhou Governor Shi, who is in charge of the Flower God Association, seems to be very familiar with this young lady Sun."

"Princess's discerning eyes, I saw it right away. They are familiar, they are mother and daughter!" Zhou Xiaohe said a little displeased, "The little lady Sun sent me a message before, as long as I give up, as long as she has Good things, I’m willing to give anything to me. I don’t want to, and I told her that everyone competes according to their abilities, and she was dissatisfied with me. Seeing that I was about to win yesterday, she must be unwilling. I don’t know why It's not that Xiao He is suspicious, Xiao He thinks that if there is an inside story about this matter, it must be her doing."

"So she can't get the name of Flower Goddess, why bother?" Zhou asked puzzled.

Zhou Xiaohe: "I heard that she plans to get engaged this autumn. The other party's family is in Gyeonggi-do, and it's a good official family. But it's hard to find out who it is. People over there must have heard about our customs. I want Miss Sun to gain the reputation of being a Flower Goddess, she has a long face. Yesterday's victory was obvious, if Miss Sun didn't want to lose face and called the princess to be a Flower Goddess, she would have a reason to lose."

"So that's how it is." Li Mingda smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that girls like Zhou Xiaohe and Sun Xiaoniang would live a leisurely and comfortable life. He didn't expect that they would have such intrigues in private.

"If the young lady of the Sun family really offended the princess, she should be taught a lesson." Zhou Xiaohe said angrily.

"You don't need to do this, it's just a trivial matter, and it's going to lose our demeanor." Li Mingda paused, then turned to Zhou, "In the future, this little lady will still be tricky, but you can mention it in private. Say something to her."

The princess of the county spoke to a lesser extent than hers.This matter is not a big deal, if Li Mingda mobilizes people to teach others about it, his words are awesome, and he will definitely ruin the life of that little lady Sun afterwards.

Seeing that Li Mingda agreed with her statement, Zhou Xiaohe couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, thinking that the young lady of the Sun family had lived to the bottom of her life this time.Unexpectedly, the princess knew the 'evil deeds' of the young lady of the Sun family, but chose to ignore them, and only let her aunt say a few words in private.

In private?What's the use of that, it won't damage the reputation of the young lady of the Sun family at all, it's really annoying.

After Zhou Xiaohe and her aunt resigned from the princess, she felt very upset.

But Mrs. Zhou praised with a smile: "Princess understands things well, has a benevolent heart and kindness, and she really has an extraordinary bearing, which is not comparable to that of a woman like you and me who grew up in the market."

"My aunt is self-effacing, what a market, but our Zhou family is also a noble family for generations, and it has been like this since the previous dynasty." Zhou Xiaohe said.

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Xiaohe amusedly, reached out and gave her a hard nod on the head, "You girl! Compared with the noble background of the princess, you and I are not born in the market, where else are we born?"

Zhou Xiaohe pouted unwillingly.

In the early morning of the next day, the heavy rain that had rested overnight began again.Li Chongyi and others had to postpone their departure for one day.

It was also because it was raining heavily outside and there was no fun, so Li Chongyi discussed with Mrs. Zhou that it would be better to gather everyone together and gather around the table for a drink order, and let everyone have a good time together, which just drives away the rainy weather. Depressed.

Mrs. Zhou quickly responded and said, "Good idea, I'll go to Zhang Luo right now."

It didn't take long for the food and wine to be prepared in the Pinglan Pavilion of the Wangfu.Everyone was invited to come here and board the attic.Watching the rain from a high place, drinking and composing poems is not a lot of fun.

Li Mingda was not interested in this, and she also knew in her heart that with her around, Li Chongyi and those teenagers who were reserved would feel uncomfortable.Because Li Chongyi likes to be accompanied by dancers and singers when he invites people to drink, but Li Mingda doesn't like to watch those, so Li Chongyi sent three groups of people to invite him, but Li Mingda still firmly refused.

Li Chongyi didn't think much about it, he just felt that Li Mingda didn't come, and he seemed to be neglecting her, so he asked Princess Zhou to invite her.

But Zhou was unwilling, "Since the princess means this, wouldn't it be disgusting if we force it? Besides, I understand the princess' concerns, so you just have to play to your heart's content."

"I don't call those who shouldn't come." Li Chongyi said hastily.

"You were not like this in the past. I think the princess has seen through you. Why don't you just enjoy yourself, why do you suddenly have to invite her today, but there is something wrong?"

"I heard that the princess has contributed a lot to the Anzhou case, and now there is another inside story about the death of the governor of Cizhou. Since it has been reported, it is a matter that has to be solved on my shoulders. Otherwise, the sage will still There are many people in Jinzhou who will look down on me."

Zhou smiled and shook her head, she just felt that Li Chongyi was thinking too much, so just let him do his best.

"You have never seen the way those common people look at me, as if I killed that Zhang Shunyi couple." After Li Chongyi finished speaking, he turned to Zhou, "Yesterday I personally interrogated Zhang Shunxin, It was found that the clues it provided were not useful, so it was a letter from the housekeeper."

"Because of a letter that I don't know the authenticity of, I went to jump off the building in public, forcing the county king to bail you out of this case. There are some tricks to this liking." Zhou sighed, and then told Li Chengyi to go to the merciful place. Zhou must be extremely careful to prevent the murderer from using the same method against him again.

"It's good that he's coming. I'm still worried that I won't be able to get him." Li Chongyi said fiercely.

Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I heard that Yuchi Erlang has been abnormal for the past two days. He is always lethargic and listless. It is not a strange disease. If he is not feeling well, he must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor as soon as possible. Don't wait too long."

Li Chongyi laughed loudly when he heard this, "What's the matter, I think he is ready to go. I just got the news this morning. After Lianhua accompanied him last night, he couldn't even walk when he got up early. You said he was still dying. Is it?"

Zhou blushed, and blamed Li Chongyi for saying everything.Since Yuchi Baoqi had nothing to do, Zhou didn't care about it.

On the morning of the third day, the heavy rain finally stopped.

As soon as it was dawn, Zhou Shi was woken up by Zhou Xiaohe who was sleeping in the same room.When Zhou saw Zhou Xiaohe kneeling on the ground with her arms resting on the edge of the bed, blinking her eyes and looking at herself pitifully, she knew that she had something to ask of herself.

Mrs. Zhou collected herself, then yawned, sat up, and asked Zhou Xiaohe to speak as soon as she had something to say.

"Auntie, I also want to go to Cizhou with my uncle and the others. The princess will not give in to her husband, and go to investigate the case, I also want to."

"Bullshit."

"Auntie, haven't you been praising the princess all the time? What's wrong with Xiao He wanting to learn from her? You just agree to give Xiao He a chance to see the world."

"Even if I agree, your uncle may not agree, and he is still determined." Zhou immediately vetoed it.

However, Zhou Xiaohe heard these words, but they were hopeful words, "Xiaohe has already asked my uncle, and he allowed me to go."

Zhou didn't expect this to happen, but she still didn't want to let her go.Unexpectedly, not long after, Li Chongyi came to say goodbye, and when he saw Zhou Xiaohe here, he directly called her and left together.Li Chongyi never said "no" to this beautiful niece's request.

Zhou wanted to stop her, but was dismissed by Li Chongyi with a few words.

"It's rare that she has such a heart, so don't hold her back. I'll send someone to explain to his parents later." Li Chongyi said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou, and before leaving, he held Mrs. Zhou's hand.Tell him not to be at home these few days, so she should take good care of herself.

Mrs. Zhou smiled and nodded, and said that Li Chongyi was not rude, and then took Zhou Xiaohe to see Li Mingda for him.After she presented the many gifts she had prepared, Zhou Shi and Li Mingda made it clear that Zhou Xiaohe was also going to Cizhou together. "She just went to Cizhou to visit her relatives, and she happened to be able to go with everyone. This is something I just thought of and decided, so I came here to ask the princess for instructions."

"Okay, we have a companion when traveling together, we can both take care of her." Li Mingda had no reason to refuse Zhou's polite inquiry.But this week, Xiaohe joined in the fun at this time, which is indeed a bit strange.String relatives?This reason lies with Li Mingda, but he can't pass the test.

When it was time to set off, the teenagers saw that there was another boy in men's clothing, which was a little strange.Later, seeing Zhou Xiaohe cupping her hands with a blushing face, everyone knew that she was the niece of the princess of the county.

Because Zhou Xiaohe performed very well on the day of the Flower God Meeting, everyone did not hesitate to praise her.Zhou Xiaohe enjoyed these things very much, so talking and laughing along the way was a joy.

In the afternoon, the group arrived at Cizhou, and after storing their things at the post station, the group went to the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Shunxin was carried into the carriage as early as midnight, sent to Cizhou ahead of schedule, and then placed in Cizhou Governor's Mansion.Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, such an arrangement can just facilitate the arraignment.

As soon as Li Chongyi, Li Mingda and others arrived at the governor's mansion, Li Chongyi couldn't wait to interrogate the housekeeper Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui confessed that he wrote a letter to Zhang Shunxin. As for the content of the letter, Zhang Rui stammered that he had indeed seen it with his own eyes.He was so afraid of recalling the original scene that when he thought about it now, his face still showed fear and his body trembled a little.

Li Mingda and the others then met Zhang Shunxin's son and daughter. The siblings looked very similar, with round faces and big eyes, very cute.The two children are three years apart. The boy is older, eight years old, and his name is Zhang Lingyun.The girl is five years old and her name is Zhang Feixue. She is thin and thin, and has been hiding behind her brother in fear.

"Don't be afraid, the county king and others are here to make decisions for us." Zhang Lingyun grabbed Zhang Feixue's arm, looked at her seriously, and whispered to her.

Zhang Feixue nodded, and obediently, like Zhang Lingyun, bowed to the nobles.

Yuchi Baoqi was suddenly distracted at this moment, and looked towards Li Mingda.For the past two days, doubts have been lingering in his mind, making him listless.Last night he tried to call Lianhua back to try again, closed his eyes and didn't think of the person who shouldn't be thinking, so he felt a lot more relaxed now.Now that he has experienced a fierce battle all night, he is refreshed, and he can still face the princess normally, which is very good.

The princess wore a men's suit made of soap-colored ordinary material today, simple and refreshing, full of heroism.And standing behind her at this time is the little lady of the Zhou family, who is also dressed in men's clothing, but it can be seen that the material of the clothes is very elegant, and there is a jade belt around her waist, which is smooth and beautiful, and her wealth is compelling.

This week Xiaohe's appearance is quite gorgeous, but Yuchi Baoqi's eyes can't stay on her for a second, and she still instinctively wants to move her eyes to the princess.

In an instant, Yuchi Baoqi's peeping was caught by the princess. The moment the two looked at each other, Yuchi Baoqi's heart jumped.

This is……

He must have been afraid.

For example, when facing the saint, if his little eyes are caught by the saint, his heart will also be pounding because of nervousness.

After Yuchi Baoqi finished comforting herself with these words, the worries in her heart suddenly sank, and the corners of her mouth twitched, giving Li Mingda a coquettish smile.

Seeing that Yuchi Baoqi had finally returned to normal, Li Mingda immediately shifted his gaze and continued to observe Zhang Lingyun and Zhang Feixue.

The housekeeper immediately explained: "After the death of Mrs. Lang, Ji Zhiyuan came to the door several times, and wanted to return the land deeds that Mr. Lang had confiscated before. The slaves refused, and had to wait for the next governor to take office before transferring them. Ji Zhiyuan would not do it." , leading people to threaten us several times.”

"Since there was bleeding from the seven orifices, why did he bury it hastily and not report the abnormal situation to the official?" Fang Yi asked directly.

When the butler mentioned this matter, he was even more sad and breathless, crying and kowtow, imploring all the nobles to help make decisions.

"The lord and the lady died in this bedroom behind the main hall. They were found in the morning. At that time, the two of them were lying on the bed and their bodies were already cold, and there was no bleeding from the seven orifices. Seeing this, the little lord and the lady At that time, I almost died from crying, and the slaves persuaded me for a long time. Because the lady has gone, only the young man and the young lady are the masters in the mansion. The slaves asked the two young masters , Mr. Xiao Lang asked the slaves to bury him as soon as possible, and put him in peace.

The slaves did the funeral, but they didn't expect that when the corpses were put into the coffin the next day, they found that the faces of the husband and the wife were bleeding from the seven orifices, which was very scary. "

"So you just buried him quietly?" Di Renjie said a little angrily.

"The younger generation asked the butler to bury it." Zhang Lingyun's body trembled, but his voice was calm, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chongyi and others, "The younger generation and my sister are terrified of this matter, and I don't know who the murderer is. Even if we have suspicions in our hearts, we can't afford to offend that person, so we swallowed our anger and didn't dare to make it public."

"Nonsense, the majestic governor's mansion, to be forced into such a situation by a man without official title, how ridiculous!" If Li Chongyi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Feixue looked tremblingly at his elder brother, then at Li Chongyi with extreme fear, and suddenly burst into tears, his face pale.
