Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"That's right, it's because of the failure to stay in college that Aye married a woman as good as A Niang, and then he had brothers and sisters." Li Mingda responded cleverly.

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "Sure enough, people have grown up, and their mouths are also clever."

Li Zhi glanced at Li Mingda, without a smile on his face, but he immediately agreed to Li Shimin's words.

Li Mingda squinted at Li Zhi, then continued to ignore him.Li Mingda ran to Li Shimin's side to act like a baby, and told him that he was really handling a big case for the country and the people this time.

"Aye, my son went to investigate the case, not for other things. Compared with the number of times Aye reviewed the memorials all night, it's nothing if he didn't return home once in the middle of the night. As Aye's daughter, Sizi must not embarrass Aye, he must be able to handle things. He can bear hardships."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows pretending to be surprised after hearing Li Mingda's words.He knew that Li Mingda said this on purpose to make himself happy.He wanted to pretend to be serious, pretending that he couldn't understand her voice, and took the opportunity to scare her, but the corner of his mouth couldn't hold back the smile at all.

"From what you mean, Aye should praise you for your hard work for the country?"

"Boasting is fine, but you have a thick skin and can't resist boasting." Li Mingda said while pressing Li Shimin's shoulders.

Li Shimin was amused by Li Mingda and laughed again.

Li Zhi watched from the sidelines, enduring it, and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Has the meal been delivered? What's for breakfast?" Li Mingda asked Fang Qirui.

Fang Qirui hurriedly said yes, and reported the name of the dish.

Li Shimin urged: "Since everyone is full, hurry up, there is a hungry and crazy child who wants to eat."

Li Mingda laughed embarrassedly, and quietly stuck out his tongue at Li Shimin.

After taking his seat, Li Shimin suddenly asked Li Mingda if he had dinner last night.

When Tian Hanshu heard this, his heart pounded and he tightened his neck.

"Eat, eat." Li Mingda said.

Li Shimin glanced at Tian Hanshan suspiciously, and then sternly told Li Mingda, "It's okay to be obsessed with investigating cases, and it's okay to stay out at night, but you must sleep and eat on time, otherwise it will be bad for your health. You will be a tall man." when."

"Xi Zi takes the order, thank you!" Li Mingda knelt down.

"Get up." Li Shimin shouted immediately, "It's so cold on the ground."

Li Zhi's hand holding the chopsticks froze for a moment, and then looked at Li Shimin aggrieved.He has been kneeling diligently in front of his father, but he has never heard his father say such words to himself.

"Eat, you eat too." Li Shimin looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi happily agreed, put a piece of mustard pancake into his mouth, and soon after, he saw his father order the eunuch who served food, ordered five or six nourishing dishes, and gave them to Sizi.

Li Zhi looked at the empty bowl in front of him.At this time, the little eunuch next to him asked Li Zhi in a low voice, "What does Your Majesty want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat anything, I just eat a pancake." Li Zhi gasped.

After Li Mingda dealt with Li Shimin, he heard Li Zhi's words, and saw that he was eating cakes there by himself, so he smiled and winked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin naturally followed and noticed Li Zhi. He was about to speak when he saw Li Mingda staring at the steamed chicken.

"Ninth Brother loves this dish." Li Mingda said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin wanted to reprimand Li Zhi for his lack of temper.But after hearing what Li Mingda said, he thought that although Li Zhi was older, he still needed his father's love.Li Shimin decided not to care about it, and sent the eunuch to serve him the plate of chicken.

Li Zhi froze for a moment when he heard Li Mingda's words. He was about to refute when he heard his father reward him with the plate of chicken.He had no choice but to secretly stare at Li Mingda, unable to scream out of pain in his heart.

Li Mingda didn't show any special expression, he just ate quietly.

Li Zhi looked at the plate of chicken in front of him and was very worried, but since it was a gift from a saint, he had no reason to refuse it, so he had to try his best to finish it.

Finally, when Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, Li Zhi hurriedly stopped.Then the siblings resigned together, and Li Zhi immediately grabbed Li Mingda who was about to go back to the room.

Li Mingda blinked his sleepy eyes and looked at Li Zhi incomprehensibly.

"Why? Are you going to talk to me?" Li Mingda asked.

Li Zhi glared at her, "You plot against me, can I not talk to you, I always have to ask you why."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You know that I don't like to eat steamed chicken, and I even hate it. Why did you say that in front of my father just now?" Li Zhi reasoned puzzled.

"Ninth brother knows that I hate people who break the law, why do you let me let Li Jingheng go?" Li Mingda asked, "Compared with my practice of forcing Jiu brother to eat chicken, which one is more serious?"

Li Zhi was stunned.

"Ninth brother is the majestic king of Jin, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at every word and deed. If you beg for mercy and let one go, how many people will think that the law is useless, and think that in the future, they can do whatever they want as long as they curry favor with the powerful? I will come out next time." If the fourth brother also opens his mouth to say something like this, should he or shouldn't he? Then what's the point of tea, is it to forgive criminals!"

"Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"You think I'm teaching you a lesson?" Li Mingda asked, "Then I'm teaching you a lesson. You heard me right."

Li Zhi glared at her, he seldom lost his temper with Si Zi, but this time he couldn't ignore what happened to Li Jingheng, he was his good brother. "Si, why did you become so ruthless? Brother Jing Heng is the one who has played with us since we were young. King Jiang Xia also watched our uncle who grew up with us. You forgot that the uncle carved for you with his own hands. Love for the wooden horse? Then if one day you make a mistake and fall into my hands, don’t you want me to let you go.”

"I will make mistakes, but I will not commit crimes. Brother Jiu, don't equate the two. But if I really made a big mistake and the evidence proves true, I have no objection to you punishing me." Li Mingda looked at Li Zhi, "This is not I'm ruthless, it's because Brother Nine is soft-hearted and can't figure it out. If their father and son were truly affectionate and righteous to us and their father, they wouldn't do anything like steal the treasury. You know how many starving refugees can be saved by those gold. Can the carved wooden horse be exchanged?"

Li Zhi frowned and muttered, "King Jiang Xia followed his father to conquer the country, and made great contributions. These achievements will always be worth it."

"Yeah, I didn't deny the credit he made, and neither did my father. He only enjoyed such kind treatment from the nobles. Otherwise, it would be ordinary officials and ordinary people who were greedy for so much money. It has already been executed."

"Now he has been reprimanded, punished, and demoted to another place. Sooner or later, he will turn around and come back. This mistake is not fatal at all, but you have offended people with your thankless efforts. I also helped to ease the situation. The relationship between you and King Jiang Xia."

"It turns out that the most important thing is the relationship between us. I don't know whether it is true or false. The human life that died because of his case is nothing, and the black and white "Law of Zhenguan" that Aye personally approved is nothing, and a huge amount was stolen. The treasury of gold is nothing." Li Mingda sneered, and looked at Li Zhi, "Brother Jiu and Sizi used to study and play in the Lizheng Hall, it was not like this, Brother Jiu is more upright than anyone else. How is it now? gone?"

Li Zhi's heart shook for a moment, he still wanted to argue with Li Mingda, but when he heard his words suddenly, Li Zhi also suddenly realized that since he became king, he seemed to care too much about fame and popularity, Blindly accommodate others too much, regardless of right or wrong.

Li Zhi calmed down, and sat down in a random place in Li Mingda's room.

Li Mingda brought him tea himself.

Li Zhi glanced at it, knowing that Li Mingda was coaxing her, "I don't like drinking."

Li Mingda didn't say a word, took the tea away, and brought him grape juice again.Li Zhi's sister treated her patiently, and most of her anger dissipated.Then he took it and put it in his mouth to take a sip.

Immediately, Li Zhi and Li Mingda expressed emotion that he really cared too much about his reputation during this time, and forgot his own duty.

"Maybe Brother Nine has grown up. I'm still young and ignorant, so I only care about my own feelings when I do things." Li Mingda saw that Li Zhi had finally come to his senses, so he began to back down.After she was hardened, she softened just right, giving Li Zhi enough face.

Li Zhi was very useful, but he also understood the truth, and denied Li Mingda's statement, "Although you are young, you understand the truth better than me. All the books I have read over the years are really wasted."

"It's not in vain, it must be useful." Li Mingda smiled, and then raised his eyebrows mischievously at Li Zhi, "Then we are reconciled now? We don't need to be cold when we meet in the future, and we can greet each other?"

Li Zhi felt even more guilty when he heard Li Mingda's words, "Brother Jiu is not to blame. In this way, you can make requests at will, and Brother Jiu will compensate you."

"Really?" Li Mingda tentatively asked, "If Li Jingheng comes back, would Brother Nine be willing to interrogate him for me?"

"This..." Li Zhi pondered for a while, then took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind and made a decision, "Yes!"

"I'm just kidding, Brother Nine doesn't have to take it seriously." Li Mingda said happily.

Li Zhi blushed, "You girl, dare to tease me?"

"Dare, why don't you dare?"

Li Zhi moved his eyeballs and asked Li Mingda, "You are really brave enough to even scold me. Are you not afraid that I won't talk to you for the rest of my life because of Li Jingheng?"

"I'm too close to you, so I dare to say anything. I also know that even if Brother Jiu cares about Li Jingheng, it can't compare with our brother and sister. What's more, the truth is on my side, and I deeply I know Brother Nine must be a sensible person, so I'm not afraid at all." Li Ming stuck out his tongue at Li Zhi, "Brother Nine?"

"Huh?" Li Zhi looked serious when he saw Li Mingda talking, and he also became serious.

"Is the steamed chicken delicious?"

"Sis, I really want to hit you."

Li Mingda chuckled, "I will never forget about taking advantage, tell me about Li Jingheng, do you think there is anything strange about her recently?"

Li Zhi smiled wryly, hurriedly bowed to Li Mingda and said: "Return to your lord, he has always been unrestrained, just like usual."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting me know." Li Mingda also responded exaggeratedly.But because of you, there is a question in my heart that deserves to be answered.It is said that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black.His eldest brother likes to get along with the bohemian Li Jingheng, does he also...

After Li Zhi got up, he looked at Li Mingda and immediately laughed out loud.Because he was going to court soon, he couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda was also tired, and after breaking off the cold relationship with Li Zhi, he took a bath and went to bed without thinking about it.Li Mingda didn't wake up until noon, and got a message from Cheng Chubi that he had sent spies to Pingkangfang to find a man with a mole on his mouth and a Jinzhou accent.

Li Mingda nodded, praising Cheng Chubi for his thoughtfulness.She immediately remembered what happened in the palace and asked Zuo Qingmei how she was doing.

"The news about the renovation of the Longshou Canal has already spread out. As long as that person can't let go of those treasures, he will definitely come to get the things after he gets the news. At present, people have been sent to ambush there, and there is no movement yet." Zuo Qingmei said.

"Send more people to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Zuo Qingmei agreed, and simply withdrew.However, Li Mingda hesitated and couldn't figure it out, Anzhou prostitute Qingniang, Jiangxia king Li Daozong, and someone unknown in the palace.In the three places, the three people who could not be connected with each other at all, why they have the same method of hiding money.

Li Mingda really couldn't understand the reason for this, and what would connect these people together.Could it be really a coincidence, but these coincidences happened to be met by them?

Indeed, as Fang Yizhi said, the possibility of such a coincidence is too low.

In the afternoon, Fang Yizhi sent a message to Li Mingda that he and Wei Shuyu would continue to interrogate Shi Hongyu, and as soon as the result was obtained, someone would be sent to inform him.

Li Mingda knew in his heart that Fang Yizhi's remark was to euphemistically tell her that she didn't have to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice during this period. Obviously, he planned to continue to use some special methods to interrogate Shi Hongyu.

"Why Wei Shuyu?" Li Mingda remembered that she had discussed with Fang Yizhi that Di Renjie was the one who would help.

Tian Hanshan hurriedly said: "I also find it strange. I went to inquire about it just now. It seems that it was arranged by the sage yesterday. He took some reason that Xiao Erlang's aunt was ill and he wanted to be filial, so he removed Xiao Erlang and replaced him with Wei Shizi."

Her father's reason was really far-fetched, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he made such an arrangement to choose a son-in-law.

Tian Hanshu hesitated to speak, and looked at Li Mingda eagerly.

Li Mingda: "Say what you have to say, don't hesitate."

"I don't dare to say it, it's really because of the rumors outside, it's too much."

"Don't worry, I won't be angry. I've heard all kinds of bad words." Since Li Mingda's ears are particularly sharp, he has heard some dirty words more or less every day, but he's already numb to hearing this morning, so it's not surprising.

"In fact, rumors have already started going viral. The saint is anxious to find the best consort candidate for your lord. It can be said to be one in a million. Not only must he have a good family background and good looks, but he must also have both talents and virtues, and he must be consistent. The first two things are easy to say , but this last point has aroused the opinions of many people. Now more and more people say that Princess Shang Jinyang is a big trouble, and they also take Fang Shizi's previous words as an example, just to It proves that this princess is really not worthy of honor. Recently, it has become even more powerful, and there is even a saying that it is more comfortable to marry a servant girl than to honor the master, and at least she will not be a worthless man." After Tian Hanshan said this, he Grinding his teeth, he wanted to kill these people who spread rumors.

"Some groundless nonsense, it doesn't matter. After a while, it will naturally dissipate."

"But your lord's reputation..." Tian Hanshan gritted his teeth again, and continued, "To tell you the truth, there are already quite a few descendants of the aristocratic family, because of these news, they have traveled abroad under the pretext of not wanting to be a candidate for the reserve consort. They feel that If a man only spends his life with one woman...it would be embarrassing to the ancestors."

After Tian Hanshan finished speaking, he looked at Li Mingda with some worries, worried that his words would irritate your lord.

"I think this harmless discussion is good for me. If you are only afraid because of this rumor, then this person is really not suitable to be a concubine. And...why should I share a man with other women? What follows is not a rumor, it is true." Li Mingda commented, holding his chin.

Tian Hanxi was stunned for a moment, and quickly agreed, what the Lord Daoist said was very true.

"My family understands, it's like sifting beans, sifting out the small ones, the bad ones and the shriveled ones, and only the good ones remain in the end."

When it was mentioned that the rest is good, Tian Hanshu was very happy, as if he was the one who could find a good son-in-law.

Seeing him like this, Li Mingda couldn't help laughing, and asked him if he had anything else to report.

"You have been well-informed recently, but suddenly you are much better."

Tian Hanshan scratched his head and smiled smugly, "To tell you the truth, it's because the slave joined...uh...he has a lot of helpers."

"Helper? Where did so many helpers suddenly come to let you know so much news?" Li Mingda asked curiously.

Tian Hanshan's eyes wandered, and he hesitated with embarrassment.

Li Mingda immediately glared at Tian Hanshan sternly, "He kept saying that he would be loyal to me, but now I ask a random question, and you just hide it."

Tian Hanshan hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't answer, it's just that I don't know what to say about this matter. I just ask for help to find out the news, so that I can be a really useful person in front of your lord."

"You have always been a useful person in front of me. If you are useless, I will let you take the position of the great eunuch and serve me personally." Li Mingda looked at Tian Hanshan seriously, "Do you recognize me as the master?" , just tell the story honestly, and stop talking nonsense to me."

Tian Hanxi hurriedly made amends, and said honestly: "Eunuch Zhao from Wude Palace quietly told me the method. Just write your name and date of birth on a piece of paper, and then quietly go to the stone forest on the east side of the West Sea, and find someone from the east. Count to the cave behind the third stone, stuff it in, wait [-] days to get it, if someone replies, then it’s done. If there’s no reply, it’s not passed.”

"It's done? What happened?" Li Mingda asked.

"Join Mutual Help, everyone can help each other in the future. People who join, if they encounter any small troubles or difficulties in the future, as long as they succeed in asking them for help, everyone will help. There are many people with great strength, and everyone's situation Depending on the location, there will always be someone who can help. If I have difficulties, I can speak up and ask everyone to help? If others have difficulties, I can choose to help if I can help. Of course, these help They are all limited to doing things casually, on the premise of not sacrificing themselves. People who join the mutual help for the first time are like slaves, who can ask for help directly. In the future, they will have to work hard three times to change a chance to ask for help." Tian Han He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Actually, it's just a popular trick among young eunuchs and maids. I also said that it is not allowed to spread to the outside world. Please forgive me and don't tell it. It is said that there are people in the mutual help who know witchcraft. If If someone betrays, they will use the date of birth of the betrayer to curse him to death."

"They're all cursed to death, and you still say it's a trick?" Li Mingda sighed, "It's not easy."

"I just heard what Mr. Zhao said, and I don't know if it's scaring me, but this kind of thing is more believable. I beg your master to help the servant and don't leak this matter." Tian Hanshan told Li Mingda kowtowed and pleaded.

"Then how long did it take you to get the news after your first request, and who told you the news?"

"At that time, I waited twelve days to go to Shilin to check as promised, and I got a reply. It said that I asked the slave to write down what I wanted to plead and stuff it in the tree hole of the old willow tree behind the Lizheng Hall. I’ll go to see it in a few days. I didn’t believe it very much before, so I just wrote it casually, saying that I want to know about the rumors about your lord outside. Yesterday was the eighth day, and I went to see the results this morning, and I actually got some news.”

"Let me take a look." Li Mingda said.

Tian Hanxi hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and presented it to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda opened it and saw that the paper was much larger than ordinary letter paper, with a square of seven inches. The characters on it were not big, but very beautiful, and there were many rumors about her written on it densely.The results of its investigation seem to be true and reliable at present.

"The font on it looks like it was written by a woman, and it looks like it was written with her left hand." Li Mingda pondered while watching.

"Your lord, this word is so neatly written, how can it be seen that it is left-handed?" Tian Hanshan said in shock.

"After the last word is finished, there is a slash on the left side below the word."

Li Mingda immediately picked up the pen and drew an "eight" on the paper in the way of comparing his left and right hands respectively.Tell Tian Hanshan that if the pen is drawn with the left hand, the slash should be the left style, and the right hand style should be the right style.

Tian Hanshan looked at his piece of paper again, the thin oblique line he accidentally drew was indeed in line with the pattern of the left hand that your lord said.

"I see." Tian Hanshan sighed.

"It's not easy for this person to write with his left hand so smoothly and beautifully." Li Mingda sighed.

"Maybe she was born left-handed?" Tian Hanxiu said.

"No, since the way of contacting you is so obscure, how can she not know how to hide her handwriting. This must be the reason why she writes with her left hand." Li Mingda concluded.

Tian Hanshu nodded, feeling very reasonable. "Although it says burn after reading, there is no guarantee that those who receive the information will not abide by the regulations and leak it. If you are a smart person, you must always be more careful."

"If this gang that helps each other absorbs you and Eunuch Zhao, it must have developed a lot of other palace people. They can get news from outside the palace to the palace and pass it to you within eight days, which is enough to show that the inside of the gang The number of people is strong. And not only in the palace, but also outside the palace." Li Mingda exclaimed, "If this gang absorbs all the little people inside and outside the palace, it seems inconspicuous, but as you said, there are many people. ...powerful...great."

Tian Hanshan nodded, "Fortunately, everyone's intentions are good, but whoever encounters difficulties, please help each other."

"Three 'contributions' can be exchanged for one 'help'. The numbers are not equal, and there is obviously a problem." Li Mingda stared at Tian Hanshan deeply.

Tian Hanshan was furiously looked at, and then he suddenly understood, "Your lord, don't you want to check 'mutual help'? Then Nu Ke became a traitor, and Nu Ke did that because he trusted your lord. Truthfully confessed, this... your lord, slave's birth date is still in their hands!"

Li Mingda didn't respond, and stared at Tian Hanshan quietly for a long time.

Tian Hanshan was so scared that he shrank his neck and dared not speak, for fear that the noble lord would sell him out.

"Forget it, I'll let you go. I'll check on others, don't worry, I won't expose you." After Li Mingda finished speaking, he asked Tian Hanshan if he had received any other news before, telling him how to help others in the future.

Tian Hanshan shook his head.

"Someone will contact you later, just remember to tell me."

Li Mingda immediately sent Tian Hanshan to serve him tea, then called Zuo Qingmei and asked her if she knew about 'mutual help'.

Zuo Qingmei shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."

Li Mingda observed that she was not suspected of lying, so he felt relieved to entrust her with monitoring Eunuch Zhao.

It was night, and the guards lurking near the Longshou Canal in Wangyun Palace finally caught the eunuch who came to salvage things at midnight.

Coincidentally, the arrested person was Eunuch Zhao, the chief executive of the Wude Palace.

As soon as Eunuch Zhao saw Zuo Qingmei carrying a lantern and bringing someone to pick him up, with ice in his eyes, he knew that his affairs had been exposed long ago, and Zuo Shanggong was waiting here.

Zuo Qingmei interrogated Eunuch Zhao first, and then brought him to Li Mingda when it was too bright.

As a palace man, embezzling so much valuable property must be executed according to the palace rules.

In order to keep a whole body, Eunuch Zhao can be buried in the ground after death instead of being left in the wilderness, so he honestly explained everything.

Li Mingda didn't care how he got greedy for money.Humans die for money, birds die for food, such things happen everywhere, due to human nature, there is no need to delve into them.Li Mingda only cares about why Eunuch Zhao must sink his belongings under the water.

So Eunuch Zhao mentioned 'helping each other'.

"I don't get my money from the righteous way. And if there are too many things at first glance, I feel very uneasy when I put them in my residence. Especially after I became a steward, there are often people in the house walking around and answering, which is more likely to be exposed. I thought of the earlier time Those who joined the "Mutual Help" followed the rules, asked questions, wrote their signatures, and put them in the crack of the wall behind the Wangyun Temple. They just wanted to ask for a way to hide the treasure. Later, I got a reply, and I searched for it in Longshouqu. I found a place. By helping each other, I got two small iron boxes, and then followed the method they suggested to sink my baby in the water. After that, it really saved me a lot of worry."

Tian Hanxi was puzzled, "If you hide your money in the water, you are not afraid of being found out?"

"The Longshou Canal in the palace is different from Qujiang Pond. In the river outside the city, there may be many people playing in the hot weather. But in the palace, there are rules everywhere, and no one will go to the Longshou Canal. Go into the water. So hiding things in the water in the palace is actually the safest thing to do." Eunuch Zhao explained.

Tian Hanshan: "That's right, I almost forgot about this rule. I only thought that the Qujiangchi case would be reassured by guards, so I wonder how you can be at ease..."

Li Mingda also asked Eunuch Zhao if he had messaged with Mutual Help at other times, if she had "contributed", and how to contact her.

"There was a 'contribution'. They took the initiative to contact the slaves, wanting to know something about Concubine Yang. Because I worked as a sweeping eunuch for a year in front of Feifei Yang. I told them what I only knew. " Eunuch Zhao replied truthfully.

"If you want to be more specific, how did you contact me? And how did you inform me?" Tian Hanxi asked.

Eunuch Zhao glanced at Tian Hanshan meaningfully, and immediately looked away from Tian Hanshan, not daring to look directly at him.

"I don't know what method they used. I just remember that when I woke up that day, I saw a letter next to my pillow. In the letter, I told me that if I wanted to help, you should write what you know on the paper and sign it. Just a word representing my identity, and then quietly put the things in the old place, which is the crack in the wall behind the Wangyun Temple. I did as I said. After that, I made a few more "efforts", It’s all the same way. It’s the same when I got the iron box. The box was hidden in the woods near Xihaichi. I just went to the corresponding place to find it according to the news they sent. I asked for two boxes before and after, and they were all like this Passed by." Eunuch Zhao recalled and explained.

In the crevice of the stone behind the Wangyun Hall, in the willow tree hole behind the Lizheng Hall...

Li Mingda pondered for a while, and took a pen to record it himself.

And the reason why Eunuch Zhao recommended Tian Hanshan to join was also because some time ago, he wanted to increase manpower for "mutual help".If you can successfully introduce a person and pass the review, it will also increase the chance to ask for help.

"That is to say, because of Tian Hanshu, you have another chance to ask for help, so did you use it?" Li Mingda asked.

Eunuch Zhao shook his head, "I plan to use it when something really happens in the future."

"Then you have to earn a chance to survive with me first." Li Mingda asked.

As soon as this remark came out, Eunuch Zhao's eyes lit up immediately.He quickly and excitedly kowtowed to Li Mingda, vowing that he would perform well.

Li Mingda gave Zuo Qingmei a wink and asked her to continue to take charge of the matter.The tactic is naturally changed from "waiting for the rabbit" to "leading the snake out of the hole". Let Mr. Zhao make a request to see who will appear in the "mutual help".Li Mingda wanted to see who was behind the trick.

After Zuo Qingmei agreed, she took Eunuch Zhao away and arranged follow-up matters.

Li Mingda is still thinking about this mutual help and the treasure hidden in the underwater iron box.The three things she thought were completely unconnected before, but now she found out, probably because of the relationship of 'mutual help'.

The people in "Mutual Help" are not limited to Chang'an City inside and outside Taiji Palace, but also Anzhou.If so scrutinized, it is very likely that it has developed to the whole country.

If "Mutual Help" absorbs many people like Zhao Gonggong and develops to the whole country, it will be a terrible thing.What's more, the people involved in the Mutual Gang are only small people, such as the Qujiang Chishui ghost case, the person who hid the gold was the county king Li Daozong, and the person who was in charge of guarding the transportation of the gold was Wang Changshi and his wife Du Shi.And Qing Niang, who hid the things in Baizhao Lake in Anzhou, was also Pei Concubine's bedside person.If those who have access to the lifeblood of the imperial court also join in the 'mutual help', the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Mingda recorded all the results of the previous interrogation in detail, and put the paper handed in by Tian Hanshan into the envelope.

Not long after, news spread from outside the palace that Li Jingheng, the prince's son, had returned.

Hearing this, Li Mingda immediately changed his clothes and went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to interrogate him.

When Li Ming arrived, Li Jingheng was sitting in the side hall drinking tea, chatting with Fang Yi about Shi Hongyu.Li Mingda slowed down when he heard this outside the door.Li Jingheng's words sounded calm, she easily admitted his previous relationship with Miao Feifei, and told Fang Yizhi without any embarrassment that he and Miao Feifei had been playing "games" for half a year '.

"But it's a pity that beautiful women are always proud and refuse to fully cater to my preferences. What can I do, I can only take a step back and let her go."

As for Shi Hongyu, Li Jingheng also directly admitted that he was just greedy for her lust.

"The beautiful woman has already been delivered to my door, so there is no reason not to sleep. But she is very temperamental. When I met her two years ago, I promised her to take her to be my concubine and protect her in the future. Wealthy, well-fed and well-fed. She just refuses, but fortunately she is not a chaste and strong woman, and she played a lot of tricks with me. Since she made me happy and helped me get Miao Feifei, I think she is better than ordinary women. She is sensible and interesting, so I keep in touch with her.”

"Do you know her identity? Did she ask you to help her?"

"I met this beauty by chance on the side of the road. She said she was a hunter girl, so I took her as a hunter girl. As for help, she didn't ask me for anything, but she helped me a lot. For example, she helped me coax my father Happy, helped me get Miao Feifei out. She is a person who comes and goes mysteriously, and likes to ask me about the court news, and nothing else. Anyway, the court news I know is not a secret, so I simply Told her."

Li Jingheng said with a laugh, and then he deliberately told Fang Yizhi that Shi Hongyu's bed skills are very good, and I am afraid that no man in this world can conquer her.Li Jingheng still didn't forget to joke with Fang Yizhi and asked him if he was interested in giving it a try.People in prison, it is estimated that it will be more interesting.

Li Mingda was disgusted, so he looked at Tian Hanshan and asked him to report.

After Li Jingheng heard the transmission, he sighed in a low voice, "I can see the beauty again", and then got up without saying a word, ready to welcome the princess.

After Li Mingda entered, he glared at Li Jingheng and asked him to repeat his relationship with Shi Hongyu.

Li Jingheng repeated what he said to Fang Yi just now.

"Brother Jing Heng's testimony must have been prepared for a long time, and he memorized it quite well." Li Mingda sighed, and then glanced at the few followers behind Li Jingheng, whose shoes were covered with wet mud.
