Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

The mud was not dry yet, apparently it was made in the past half a day.In the past few days, the area around Chang'an City has been sunny, but there will be heavy dew in the morning, and only when climbing in the morning and evening will I step on some loose places to make such a foot of mud.Of course, it was also possible to step into the pit, but the mud on their feet was mixed with a few unremarkable thin pine branches and broken grass leaves, obviously the latter was unlikely.

What's more, when Li Jingheng repeated the description, he was surprisingly consistent from beginning to end, and the words were spoken without thinking, and the order was not even reversed. Li Mingda always felt that these words were likely to be memorized by him long ago.

When Li Jingheng heard Li Mingda accuse him of lying, the corners of Li Jingheng's mouth stiffened, but he immediately covered it up with a smile.

He pretended not to understand Li Mingda's words, laughed and pretended to be confused, and asked Li Mingda not to make jokes at this time.

"Who would specifically ask you to come back to make a joke." Li Mingda sat down and stared straight at Li Jingheng.

Li Jingheng couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, he suppressed his smile, and looked at Li Mingda seriously.

"Then what does your lord want to hear?"

"I want to hear from you about you and 'Mutual Help'." Li Mingda cut to the chase.

"I've never heard of 'helping each other'." Li Jingheng looked away without saying anything.

"You're lying again." Li Mingda still didn't blink his eyelids, and kept looking at Li Jingheng with his dark eyes, which made Li Jingheng feel like he was on his back.

"How does your lord feel that I am lying? How can I admit that this is something that never happened?" Li Jingheng insisted on denying it.

"If there is no such thing, how did we know about 'helping each other' when we investigated you?" Li Mingda smiled and raised the corners of his mouth, making him look confident.

"Fang Shizi should have told you that both Shi Hongyu and Miao Feifei have been arrested, including the man from Pingkangfang."

Li Jingheng was surprised when he heard the last sentence, and immediately forced himself to look calm.

"I see, you are worried that we are deceiving you." Li Mingda paused, and asked the inspector, "Can he see Shi Hongyu now?"

Fang Yi nodded straight, "It's enough to freshen up."

When Li Jingheng heard that he needed to freshen up, he frowned slightly and went to see the house, asking why.

"A bit dirty."

"It's not that I haven't seen how dirty the cell is." Li Jingheng said with a smile, saying that this is a case trial, and it is not a serious ceremony, so there is no need to be so particular.

"Of course it's not that dirty." Fang Yi said leisurely.

Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something when he met Shang Fang Yizhi's calm and indifferent eyes.

Li Jingheng smiled uncomfortably, "That's not a problem, first, you won't lie to me, and second, you've had enough of that woman, and you don't want to see her. Looking back at her kneeling and begging me, I'm also upset."

"Shi Hongyu, please?" Li Mingda denied with a smile, "It's unlikely."

Li Jingheng raised his eyebrows, "My lord, don't look down on me."

Li Mingda was surprised, "Have you not seen other people's testimony? Shi Hongyu is a 'strange woman', she is never picky when it comes to men. We have already checked, including you, there are already six or seven people Yes. This is only one-sided, and according to her temperament, I'm afraid the number is beyond imagination."

Fang Yizhi immediately told Li Jingheng the identities of the men who had affairs with Shi Hongyu.

Li Jingheng's eyes were stiff, and his expression was no longer as relaxed as before.Originally, Li Jingheng was a little surprised when Li Mingda mentioned the quantity, but he guessed that Shi Hongyu was proficient in matters of men and women.After all, she didn't show any shyness when she was in front of him.But when Fang Yi told the identities of those people directly, such as the dirty cook who cooked in Fengyuelou, and the farmer who chopped firewood, he felt uncomfortable hearing it.It's a bit disgusting to feel like I'm gnawing on the same dirty bone as these lowly people.

"Too disgusting." Li Jingheng scolded in disgust.

Li Mingda: "Then do you still want to protect this woman?"

"I don't know what your lord refers to as 'protecting'. I have already explained what I should explain. I admit that I am lustful, but apart from this, there is really nothing else." Li Jingheng paused, then suddenly trembled and asked Looking at Li Mingda, "Could it be that your lord despises me because of my father's affairs, thinking that he has embezzled so much gold from the treasury, so I must be guilty as his son, isn't it a good thing?"

Li Mingda found that Li Jingheng was very good at taking advantage of loopholes and finding excuses to pretend to be innocent, which was a bit difficult.

Li Mingda looked at the boys accompanying him again, and then at Li Jingheng's shoes, which were clean and free from wet mud.

"There are still some confidential matters to interrogate you, can you let your entourage wait outside."

Li Jingheng was unprepared, thinking that Li Mingda and others were targeting him, so he immediately nodded to his followers.

Li Mingda winked at Tian Hanshan.Tian Hanxi hurried over to listen to the order.

At this time, Fang Yizhi realized the princess's intentions, and sent away all the other idlers in the house, leaving only a few cronies, and Cheng Chubi.

After Li Mingda finished instructing Tian Hanshan, he raised his volume slightly and told Tian Hanshan, "Prepare more roasted lamb legs for lunch. Prince Jingheng likes to eat this."

Tian Hanshu agreed with a smile, and then respectfully withdrew.

Li Jingheng smiled at Li Mingda, "I didn't expect your lord to remember my preference, thank you very much, Jing Heng felt an indescribable touch in his heart."

"King Jiang Xia was demoted because of my exposure. Brother Jing Heng doesn't hold grudges against me in his heart. I'm already thankful." Li Mingda said politely.

Li Jingheng shook his head.

"If you say that, I really have no face to stay here. What happened to my father was his own fault, and he was the first to embezzle. If I don't even understand the principle of distinguishing right from wrong, I really don't deserve to be called by your lord." Say 'Brother'. I have persuaded Aye a long time ago, we must learn the lesson for our own mistakes, and don't make them again in the future, no wonder others."

What Li Jingheng said was beautiful.

"Let's be smart people don't say dark words, you are involved in the 'mutual help' matter, you should explain everything that needs to be explained." Li Mingda asked directly.

Li Jingheng was still immersed in the polite words, Li Mingda's sudden blow caught Li Jingheng by surprise.But Li Jingheng was still the same as before, he quickly covered up his panic, and then tried his best to deny what Li Mingda said.

"Since I'm going to deny it, I have nothing to say." Li Mingda signaled Fang Yi to continue, and she turned to drink tea.

Li Jingheng was busy apologizing, but Li Mingda ignored him.Fang Yizhi smiled gently and told Li Jingheng not to mind the princess's straightforwardness.Seeing that Fang Yizhi was gentle and polite, Li Jingheng gradually chatted with him.

Fang Yi directly led Li Jingheng to comment on Shi Hongyu.When a man mentions women, especially a lecherous man like Li Jingheng, he always has endless energy to talk about a beautiful and slutty woman like Shi Hongyu.Because of Li Mingda's presence, Li Jingheng deliberately sat closer to Fang Yi, and whispered the details to Fang Yi directly, starting with Shi Hongyu's figure, and going deeper step by step.Fang Yi didn't change his expression, his mind wasn't there at all, but he could still focus on two things.And Fang Yizhi can always cater to Li Jingheng in just the right place.This just satisfies Li Jingheng's need to be eloquent and want to be echoed, so it makes him talk more and more.

At first, Li Jingheng only described Shi Hongyu as beautiful and slutty, etc. Later, when he talked more and more, he mentioned Shi Hongyu's cleverness, calculation and very restrained temperament.He didn't say it directly, but everything that Li Jingheng said can reflect what kind of temperament Shi Hongyu is.Shi Hongyu is not only beautiful, but also knows how to measure. When she was with Li Jingheng, no matter how clingy Li Jingheng loved her, Shi Hongyu would still insist on visiting Li Jingheng's residence every twelve days.She neither yearns for the wealth and honor of the palace, nor listens to Li Jingheng's promises, everything she does follows his own rules.

But Li Jingheng still didn't say what Shi Hongyu's purpose of approaching Li Jingheng was.But compared to Shi Hongyu, Li Jingheng is better at dealing with it.

Fang Yi observed that Li Mingda raised his eyebrows over there, and knew that she had something to gain.The corners of Fang Yizhi's raised mouth couldn't help showing a trace of pride.

……

Besides, Tian Hanshan took several of Li Jingheng's attendants to the west wing to rest, and before leaving he asked them if they had breakfast.Knowing that there was no, he was busy and arranged for someone to deliver breakfast, and then Tian Hanshan left.As soon as he went out, someone ran over and told Tian Hanshan outside.

"Your Majesty has made a confession, and the attendants in the house also participated. Your lord and Fang Shizi want to be sent to the prison, and the verdict will be judged as soon as possible later. Anyway, the lives of a few lowly slaves are worthless. Deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to occupy the prison room Location."

Tian Hanshan agreed, and immediately opened the door and entered the west wing.

When Li Jingheng's servants heard this, they put down their chopsticks in fright, and hurriedly knelt down to beg Tian Hanxi to spare his life.

"The slaves don't know anything, you are wronged!"

"You are still lying, none of you can escape the responsibility! Who is Li Jingheng, the son of the county prince, if our master has no solid evidence, how can we have the confidence to recall him." Tian Hanshi paused, and then spoke in a tone of voice Even more severe, "We have sent people to watch you a long time ago. Do you really think that no one knows what you did this morning?"

Several attendants were stunned for a moment, all shivering and shrinking their necks.There were only two calmer servants who seemed to be of a higher rank.

"Don't talk? Okay, come, send me to the prison!" Tian Hanshu said, and several attendants hurriedly kowtowed and begged not to.

Tian Hanshu winked and ordered the two loyal servants to be taken away first, and imprisoned in the firewood room in the backyard.

When the rest of the people saw this, their attitudes became more relaxed, but they still hesitated or dared not.

"King Jiangxia has made great achievements. If the sage wants to deal with him, why not deal with him as usual? What are you guys? Now it's just to see if you are sensible. I beg you pitifully, so I will give you a chance. If you don't say anything, go to the prison as soon as possible. , I don't have the patience to deal with you."

After Tian Hanshan finished speaking, he was about to leave, and several attendants hurriedly held Tian Hanshan back, expressing their willingness to explain.

"The slaves are just third-class attendants running errands in the county palace. The prince never sends us to do secret affairs. But this morning, the slaves followed the prince back to Chang'an. The prince was surprised and deliberately detoured to a forest. Nearby. The prince sent the documents, Wenzhu and Wenzhu went up the mountain, and we waited with the prince on the road. Who would have thought that the two of them would shout after a while. Then the prince asked us to go up the mountain to check the situation, and it turned out that the two of them were mistaken. fell into a deep pit and could not climb out. After we rescued the two of them, they sent them down from the mountain. After a while, they came down from the mountain, and we rode straight to Chang'an City is here, we have arrived here." Among the attendants, a sharp-tongued representative told everyone what had happened.

"That's all? After Wenshu and Wenzhu came down from the mountain, did you bring anything to your son?" Tian Hanxi asked.

"Ah, I remembered that there was something. It was made of rolled sheepskin. It was originally wrapped with a piece of dead tree bark. After giving it to the prince, the prince threw the dead tree bark away."

Tian Hanshan nodded, which means that the roll of sheepskin is now on Li Jingheng's body.

Tian Hanshu carefully asked where the forest was, and listened to his description of the direction. There was a sorghum field beside the forest.Tian Hanshu suddenly realized that it was the place where Yuchi Erlang 'met' Shi Hongyu back then!

woodshed.

As soon as the Yachai locked Li Jingheng's personal servants, the documents and asparagus, into the firewood room, someone came to deliver food to them.The two yamen simply went to sit on the corridor not far away with the food delivery person, chatting and eating.

The document and asparagus looked over there through the crack of the door, and after confirming that there was no one at the door, they glanced at each other a few times, and couldn't help discussing the current situation.

"What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know, but looking at Eunuch Tian's posture just now, he wanted to start with us and force him to ask something."

"It can't be said. We are different from those few. Our wife and children have gone south with the county king. If the two of us confess something that is not good for the son, it will not mean that the two of us will die, and the family will die with us!" The document said .

Wenzhu nodded, "I think this matter may not be as serious as we thought. If it was really the son who was taken as evidence, they would not have treated the son so politely in the hall just now, and they would have lost their identity a long time ago." Clear."

"You mean they are defrauding us? They want to start from us and get evidence to deal with our son?" asked the clerk.

Asparagus gave him a meaningful look, then nodded slowly, "I'm afraid so."

"Then what to do! The two of us are alright, so we will definitely not tell about Shizi and Shi Hongyu, but those who were left behind by Eunuch Tian, ​​they are all..."

Wenzhu: "They don't know about it. Every time Shi Hongyu meets or communicates with Shizi, it is you and me who are secretly in charge, and outsiders don't know. As long as we are stable, there will be no problems with Shizi. "

"That's good, that's good. But it's not something shameful and unspeakable for the son to join in the 'mutual help'. I don't understand why you should be evasive." The document scratched his head, very puzzled .

"Shh, be careful that the walls have ears." Wenzhu put his index finger on his lips to signal the clerk to pay attention, he looked outside the door and lowered his voice, "The reason why we can't say it is because our sons did something for 'mutual help' A lot of shady 'efforts'."

"How can you be shameless? I also work with you, why don't I feel that our son has done anything shameful." The document scratched his head, but couldn't think of anything.

"That's because you are stupid! Anyway, remember not to open your mouth indiscriminately, and do our duty as servants." The clerk instructed.

Asparagus nodded quickly, and kept his mouth tightly shut, expressing that he would not speak nonsense.The clerk also closed his mouth and stopped talking.

After Li Mingda finished listening with his left ear, he listened again with his right ear.After she finally listened to what the West Wing Room and Chai Fang had said, when she looked at Li Jingheng again, she became a little more determined.

After Fang Yizhi observed Li Mingda's changes, he waited to watch the show.

"Brother Jing Heng, you lost your sheepskin map." Li Mingda suddenly said to Jin Li Jingheng, who was talking eloquently over there.

Li Jingheng instinctively touched his chest while looking at the ground.Immediately, he felt what he was looking for on his chest, then raised his eyes to look at Li Mingda and Fang Yizhi, and suddenly realized that he had been fooled.His flustered emotions, as well as the sheepskin map, were all exposed before their eyes.

Li Jing stabilized his mind, narrowed his eyes, and focused his attention on Li Mingda again.As if curiously looking at a stranger he had never met.

Li Mingda looked back at Li Jingheng with the same curiosity.But she didn't look at Li Jingheng's face, but his chest.

"Should we search or hand it over yourself?" As for the prince's son, only Li Mingda dared to speak like this and order him.

Li Jingheng reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, and replied in an unfriendly tone: "I am the heir of the imperial prince, if you want to search me, is there an imperial edict?"

"No, that's why I'm asking you. If you don't want to take the initiative to hand it over, I don't mind the trouble. I will order someone to guard you here for now, and then I will go to the palace to ask for orders." Li Mingda explained.

Hearing this, Li Jingheng was so angry that his facial features were a little hideous.

"Princess Jinyang really deserves to be the most favored princess raised by a sage. I really can't compare with other little people, and I can't offend you." Li Jingheng laughed helplessly, full of emotion, and then took out a bag from his arms. "I have a roll of sheepskin maps, but this is the map of the state capital my father is about to go to. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can take it and have a look."

After Li Jingheng finished speaking, he handed the map to Li Mingda.Li Mingda opened it and saw that it was really not a gold mine map.

Li Mingda lost his mind and froze for a moment.

After Li Jingheng saw Li Mingda's surprised and miscalculated reaction, he couldn't help showing a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

Fang Yi glanced sideways, then turned to look at Li Mingda seriously.

Seeing that Fang Yizhi's eyes were wrong, Li Mingda guessed that there might be something tricky on the map, she turned her eyes to look at the sheepskin map again, and found that the leather edge of the map was covered with a layer of white lines.

Li Mingda then twisted the thickness of the map with his fingers, then reached out and handed it to Fang Yizhi.Fang Yizhi did the same thing as Li Mingda, and then asked someone to fetch the scissors.

The complacency on Li Jingheng's face immediately disappeared, and changed to panic.

At this time, Tian Hanshan entered the door and whispered to Li Mingda, and after he finished speaking, he took a special look at Li Jingheng.

"Brother Jing Heng, you don't have to pretend. Your subordinates have already confessed that you went to Shi Hongyu's 'hunting' cabin this morning." Li Mingda sighed.

Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, and realized that he had been completely exposed this time, so he smiled helplessly, "Your lord, you don't need to ridicule me anymore. Forget it, forget it, I admit it. Apart from the flesh and blood relationship between Shi Hongyu and I, there is also this layer of sheepskin map." relationship. That’s why we’re talking about ‘mutual help’.”

"I just wanted to hear this." Li Mingda finally heard what she most wanted to hear.

"This time I will confess well, princess, please listen to me. If I confess well, let's see if you can give me a chance to correct my mistakes." Li Jingheng sighed.

Li Jingheng then spoke eloquently.The reason why Li Jingheng joined "Mutual Help" was because he was too lustful to withstand the temptation of Shi Hongyu.His obsession with beautiful women is like some people like to collect famous calligraphy and paintings.If you are obsessed with it, you want to possess it.

When he met Shi Hongyu by chance two years ago, he only got a sweet smile and a beautiful image.I never forgot about this, and searched all over the city, but found nothing.Then he suddenly remembered a letter from a fake name he had received before, which said 'help each other'.At that time, Li Jingheng thought it was funny, so he put it aside.Later, because of this matter, he tried it out, but he did not expect to get a response a few days later, which led him to find Shi Hongyu.After a brief encounter with Shi Hongyu, Shi Hongyu disappeared again, and he was even more itchy and greedy, so he agreed to join the 'Mutual Help'.He can get "color" and enjoy the "help" that people provide him with beauty, and he can provide the other party with some court news in time as "contribution".

"Are you willing to be tricked?"

"No way, she was the only one on my mind at that time."

"What information did you provide?" Li Mingda asked again.

"It's nothing important. Some criminal cases, the list of death row inmates, the transfer of personnel from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, etc. It's not a confidential matter anyway." Li Jingheng said.

Fang Yizhi: "But for some people, it's a big deal."

"What big things can happen, such as the list of death row inmates, what can they do with it? Could it be possible to rob prison and save people?" Li Jingheng looked at Fang Yizhi in confusion.

"The mountain is high and the road is far away. If Li Daitao is stiff, it is not impossible. Besides, the desperadoes who are on the verge of death are easy to use." Fang Yi said straight.

Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, "How can it be as terrible as you said. It seems that our Tang Dynasty's "Zhenguan Law" has become a decoration in various places, and those villains can't do whatever they want."

"No matter how good the law is, it can't stop the viciousness of the world. Even the sons who live at the foot of Chang'an City, aren't they also not bound by the "Law of Zhenguan"!" Fang Yi said with emotion.

"I'm confused!" Li Jingheng hit his head with a fan.

Fang Yizhi chuckled lightly. He picked up the scissors and picked up the edges of the sheepskin map. Sure enough, he pulled out a thinner and softer map. What was drawn on the map was what they had been looking for before. 'Gold Mine Layout'.

Li Jingheng apologized to Li Mingda in embarrassment.

"Can I admit that it was you who ordered Shi Hongyu to seduce Yuchi Erlang and seize the map of the gold mine on him, and it was you who ordered people to search for the map in Yuchi's mansion, and then killed the Princess of Japan in the backyard of Yuchi's mansion." Li Mingda Seriously elaborated.

"Wait, why did you kill the princess of the Wa country? Could it be that the princess of the Wa country died? Why didn't I know when it happened?" Li Jingheng asked in surprise.

Li Mingda: "She died a long time ago. When we were investigating the Qujiang water ghost case, she died by the backyard wall of Yuchi Mansion. It seemed that she was about to leave Yuchi Mansion, but she was stabbed to death by a surprise attack. It was also scratched."

"You still have such a thing, I really don't know! And I didn't know that the map of the gold mine was related to the Yuchi Mansion, and it was even more impossible to send someone to the Yuchi Mansion to search the map." Li Jingheng saw that the two did not believe him at all. , hurriedly said, "I am willing to swear on my life!"

"Then why did you go to the mountains to get this map today? How did you get the news?" Li Mingda asked.

"It was Shi Hongyu who sent someone to send me a message. She has an ordinary appearance, and at first glance she looks like a young man in 'Mutual Help'. She was going home to visit relatives, so she happened to be walking the same way as me, so she sent the message for her. In the letter, she told She hid my map in the cabin. She said that she was being watched by someone and couldn't get away. When she heard that I was called back, she asked me to help forward it and asked me to hand it over to Wantanlou. Feng. I was very reluctant, and I no longer wanted to have any contact with her. But I was curious about what she said, and I thought about it in my heart along the way, and finally decided to get it. After entering Chang'an, I originally There was a chance to give this thing to that Ah Feng, but I didn't."

Seeing that Li Jingheng was quite sincere, Li Mingda asked him if he had explained everything he knew.

Li Jingheng nodded, looking at the ground in front of him.Li Mingda also found that his little finger was slightly bent.

Li Mingda remembers playing with Li Jingheng and Ninth Brother Li Zhi when he was a child.Brother Jiu wanted to climb a tree because of his willfulness, but he accidentally fell from the tree and kept crying.This incident later attracted Aye's attention, and Li Jingheng took it upon himself, saying that he wanted to climb the tree.

Li Mingda noticed at that time that when Li Jingheng told a lie, his little finger would bend slightly.Later, when he got older, Li Jingheng gradually learned the essentials of lying.Although he can lie skillfully with a natural expression.But Li Mingda will still notice that his habit of bending his fingers when lying has not changed.

Because he noticed this at the beginning, Li Mingda would always observe his little finger curiously afterwards, and he was deeply impressed by it.So much so that she still clings to Li Jingheng's little trick.

Li Mingda couldn't help but think that the habits she found many people display when they lie are most likely due to the enlightenment that Li Jingheng must "bend the little finger" when lying.

"Brother Jing Heng still has something to hide." Li Mingda said leisurely.

"Hiding? What else can I hide. My good cousin, even if my cousin begs you, please let me go, and someone else will keep an eye on you. I've already admitted my mistake to this point, What else can I do?" Li Jingheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I believe what you said about Shi Hongyu giving you the map is true. But you didn't explain all the information that was revealed to others, and there are still things to do." Li Mingda said firmly.

Li Jingheng looked at Li Mingda in astonishment, how could she know everything?It seems that he can see any small thoughts at a glance.It's fine if she finds out by lying and fooling around, but now he doesn't explain a little bit, and she was caught by it.

Li Jingheng even felt that Li Mingda was not a princess at all, but a god who saw through everything.Anyway, she is beautiful and has such great abilities, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairy who sees everything.

The matter has been confessed to this point, and the other party still does not intend to let it go, and is vigilant, then there is no need for him to hide anything, anyway, sooner or later it will be found out, it is better to admit it now.

Li Jingheng immediately admitted frankly that in fact, the news he "contributed" also included the situation of the Ministry of War, the number of food and grass personnel of the Datang army at various borders, and the specific situation of stationing.

Li Mingda stood up suddenly, and looked at Li Jingheng in surprise, "You even said such a thing?"

"I... I was also dazzled by her beauty at the time. I don't know why I was rushed by her instigated words and agreed to this matter. It was just a joke at the time, as if each other guessed that Tang was stationed How many people are there in total at the border. She told me 70, and I told her it wasn't that many, but he didn't believe it, and said that she would only believe it if she lost, and he would serve me well, three times in a row God, it’s not like before, just come for a day and leave.” Li Jingheng recalled, “So I got a file for her to see. This was already a year ago, and I realized it afterwards Sometimes I also regret it a little bit. But there has been no movement, and I gradually forgot about it."

"If you forgot, how could you still remember this matter so clearly today. You should have realized that Shi Hongyu was using you afterwards, but why didn't you immediately sever ties with her and continue to associate with her?" Li Mingda continued ask.

"That's because she knew a secret about our county palace and threatened me with it."

"What secret?" Li Mingda asked.

"It's no longer a secret. It's the gold that your lord found in Qujiang Pond earlier. I don't know what method she used. In short, she knew about my father's embezzlement of the treasury. I also knew that she was behind the scenes. Someone, killing her is not a problem, but someone will directly expose my father's scandal. Only then will I know that I have also boarded her thief ship and cannot get off. "

Li Jingheng immediately said that when he was alert, he had sent someone to follow Shi Hongyu, but Shi Hongyu was very shrewd. At first, his daily life was nothing special, and he really looked like a hunter woman hiding in the mountains.Li Jingheng immediately gave up, but later he sent someone to follow him again, this time for a longer time.He immediately found a suspicious man who seemed to be connected with Shi Hongyu, but he was not sure if it was.

Li Mingda knew very well that with Li Jingheng's character, he would not just investigate this step and then stop.

"Did you find out where the man she connected with lived?"

"Your lord, I did ask the servant to follow that man. After following him for a long way around, I found that he went to the wanton building in Pingkangfang."

Wanton floor?

Li Mingda was surprised, this wanton building was actually the property of her fourth brother King Wei.

"And then?" Li Mingda continued to ask.

"My people have been guarding the vicinity for a few days, and have not seen any changes inside. I don't think I will say who owns the wanton building, but your lord knows it well. So I'll think about it, If you can't figure it out, you won't get to the bottom of it. Why don't you just enjoy the moment, beautiful scenery, beautiful people and good wine, it's rare to be confused." Li Jingheng smiled, his words and face were a little free and easy.

Li Mingda squinted at him dissatisfied, "It's not that you are always confused, but you are afraid of causing trouble, so you have to pretend to be confused."

Li Jingheng was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bow to Li Mingda in admiration, "Princess, it's true."

"Forget it, you are confused about this matter, and I am also confused when I ask you." Li Mingda thought for a while, "I really want to know who came up with the idea of ​​your father sinking the gold into the Qujiang pond? Shi Hongyu and you Did you tell your father again?"

Li Jingheng shook his head, "Of course not. She pointed me at the matter of gold. I wouldn't be in the mood to listen to her advice on hiding gold. Besides, when she mentioned gold to me, the money had already been put in the water." .”

"And hiding so much gold in the water, especially the eye-catching Qujiang Pond, I think this is a stupid and stupid way. It is a trouble to put so much gold in, and it is also a trouble to take it out. It is too eye-catching. Maybe you will feel uncomfortable when I say this, but it is my true thoughts. My father is really greedy for money. The idea of ​​​​hiding gold in Qujiang Pond is really stupid Only then will the decision be made.”

Fang Yi smiled and nodded.He always felt that King Jiang Xia hid a very heavy gold in Qujiang Pond, which was really not a very smart way to hide money.Even in the vicinity of the capital, digging a hole in a random place on the mountain and burying money in the soil is much easier than sinking into Qujiang Pond to get money.

"So it's not just me, Fang Shizi also felt strange." Li Jingheng smiled wryly, "I always feel that my father was plotted by someone in this matter. Of course, it is his fault to be greedy for money. But people, always reluctant to let go Seven emotions and six desires, if you can't control it when you are faced with temptation, it is unavoidable."

"King Jiangxia has never seen any gold and silver treasures. I feel incredible to be tempted by a mere ten thousand taels of gold." Li Mingda couldn't help feeling, "It's good to have enough money to spend, and he is not short of money."

"My father has a very deep attachment to gold, because a Taoist woman once came to my house. He said a lot about my family, and they were all very accurate. My father believed in her very much, so he often asked her to come to the house to see Feng Shui, practice, and transfer Once my father got a strange disease, and she said that the family was short of gold, and that three hundred catties of gold bricks should be used as a town in the southeast to suppress the evil wind. You also know that gold and silver are not easy to get except jewelry. All the female relatives and gold bottles in the family were melted together. It really cured my father's illness. At that time, my grandmother's golden phoenix crown was also melted. My father was filial and healed. After hearing about this I have been sad and depressed for a long time, and I blame myself very much.”
