Li Xuri met with Sun Hechuan to discuss matters, and he clearly knew Sun Hechuan's whereabouts and the people around him. He could even trick Sun Hechuan into carrying out his assassination plan.
Moreover, Li Xu was familiar with Sun Hechuan's martial arts moves and could take advantage of Sun Hechuan's unpreparedness and catch him off guard.
The more Yu Zheng thought about it, the more his heart sank. He asked seriously, "Have you ever told anyone else about this?"
Sun Yijun shook his head: "I didn't even tell my mother, and I didn't tell Mr. Zhang when he went to the Sun Mansion to inquire about it this morning."
Not telling Zhang Ting is a sign of distrust.
Not telling her mother would save her from worry.
Yu Zheng nodded: "You did a good job. Let me and Zhou Boxu investigate this matter. Don't interfere, so as not to be in danger."
Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun nodded in agreement, trusting Yu Zheng wholeheartedly.
The two understood that Sun Hechuan's assassination was related to the court and was not something they could resolve.
All they can do is provide clues so as not to cause trouble for Yu Zheng.
Without further ado, Yu Zheng stood up immediately and said, "I'm going out."
Jiang Shu and the others knew that he must have thought of something and wanted to check it out.
"Yijun, are you okay?" Jiang Shu asked caringly.
Sun Yijun nodded and said quietly: "I'm fine."
Yu Yuan was right. Her father was gone, but her mother still needed her support and support. She couldn't fall.
Although she had no appetite, she had a good meal and rest every day.
It's just that the sadness in my heart cannot dissipate in a short time and needs time to dilute.
I have known Sun Yijun for such a long time, and every time I see her she smiles, as bright as the sun. But now there is unbreakable grief in her eyes, which makes people heartbroken.
Jiang Shu said warmly: "I see that you have lost a lot of weight. You should take good care of yourself after you go back. If you feel uncomfortable and want to talk to someone, just ask your servant to send a letter, and my sister and I will go with you."
No words can heal the pain of losing my father, only time can heal it. What they can do is accompany her when she needs it.
"Okay, take care of yourself and your children, don't worry about me." Sun Yijun agreed and stood up to leave.
Firstly, she has no intention of chatting now, and secondly, since they haven't returned to Prince Rong's Mansion for a long time, Prince Rong and his wife must also be worried.
Jiang Shu did not hold back, got up and walked them to the gate of the hospital, repeatedly telling Yu Yuan to take good care of Sun Yijun.
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, I will do it." Yu Yuan held Sun Yijun's hand and spoke in a calm and firm tone.
His Yijun is the only one he can rely on.
The two of them took a carriage back to Prince Rong's Mansion.
As expected, Prince Rong and his wife had been worried about Sun Yijun. When they saw the two coming back, they asked a few questions and made sure that Sun Yijun and Sun's mother were eating and lodging as usual and were fine, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"You've been tired these past few days. Go back and rest." Princess Rong said considerately.
"Thank you, concubine, for your understanding." Sun Yijun was greeted by the blessing.
This funeral was all handled by Prince Rong and his wife, for which Sun Yijun was extremely grateful.
"Good boy, the whole family doesn't talk about this." Princess Rong said with a loving look on her face.
family.
Hearing these two words, Sun Yijun's eyes turned red.
King Rong and his wife knew that she must be thinking of her parents again, so they quickly asked Yu Yuan to take her away to avoid getting hurt.
The warm spring sun shone gently on the two of them, and Sun Yijun's thin figure stood upright. Yu Yuan walked calmly and calmly, as if he had become mature and steady in an instant, and no longer looked like a playboy or frivolous person.
"After this incident, both Yuan'er and Yijun have grown up. I don't know whether it's good or bad." Princess Rong sighed with emotion.
It’s hard to teach people, but it’s easy to teach people instantly.
King Rong said: "Life experiences, whether good or bad, are all growth."
When Princess Rong heard this, she thought it made sense.
Not only Sun Hechuan, they will also leave sooner or later. No one in this world can stay with someone forever. Yu Yuan and Sun Yijun always have to grow up to be independent.
In the morning of the next day, Yu Zheng sued Li Xu for killing Sun Hechuan.
The sudden accusation shocked Li Xu, Cao Qian and others, and they quickly came to their senses and hurriedly defended themselves.
"The prince said that the official was the murderer of Lord Sun. Is there any evidence?" Li Xu asked angrily.
Li Xu firmly believed that the assassination was clean and neat, leaving no traces, and it was impossible for Yu Zheng to find anything.
But at the same time, he also understood that Yu Zheng would not talk in vain. What was the mistake?
"Of course I have evidence." Yu Zheng looked at Li Xu with stern eyes and gave evidence one by one.
"The first proof is the gesture left by Mr. Sun, which is recorded in the autopsy book of Dali Temple."
Yu Zheng clarified the meaning of the gesture.
Zhang Ting frowned when he heard this. Yesterday he went to Sun Mansion, but Sun Yijun didn't say anything to him. It seemed that he didn't trust him.
"The second evidence is the knife marks on Master Sun and the bodyguards. After inspection, it was found that there were knife marks on the left hand. And the knife you used was the left hand."
Everyone in Dali Temple knows this.
"Certificate Three, when Mr. Sun was assassinated, you were not in Dali Temple, and you were not on errands. Your whereabouts are unknown."
As Yu Zheng finished speaking, all civil and military officials in the court turned their attention to Li Xu.
"It was you who killed my lord!" the new Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple angrily accused Xiang Maoyan.
Xiang Maoyan was Sun Hechuan's confidant. He was highly regarded by Sun Hechuan and respected Sun Hechuan very much.
A flash of panic flashed in Li Xu's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said plausibly: "It would be too far-fetched and hasty to conclude that I killed Mr. Sun based on just an inexplicable gesture and the use of a knife in my left hand."
"As for their whereabouts, there were many people whose whereabouts were unknown in Dali Temple that day. Could it be that they were all murderers?"
After hearing Li Xu's strong words, Zhou Boxu said coldly: "Master Sun has great martial arts skills. It is not easy to kill him. The assassin must have been injured when he fought with Master Sun. Do you dare to take off your clothes and commit suicide?" certificate."
After discussing with Yu Zheng yesterday afternoon, he and Yu Zheng conducted separate investigations and found that Li Xu was missing and injured.
It's just that his injuries were not serious and he hid them well. He had not used force in recent days and no one noticed.
"I am the fourth-ranking Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Just based on speculation, I was asked to take off my clothes to verify it. Mr. Zhou has such great official power." Li Xu clenched his fists, as if he had been humiliated.
"You clearly have a guilty conscience!" Xiang Maoyan said.
Li Xu snorted disdainfully, cupped his hands towards the emperor and said: "A serious crime such as killing a third-grade court official requires real evidence to be convicted. It is difficult to convince the public based on just vague speculations. Please make a clear decision."
Cao Qian's group spoke out in support.
The Emperor's eyes coldly glanced at the ministers below, and said solemnly: "Master Sun is a minister of Hu Gu and a pillar of the imperial court. His death makes me very sad and regretful. The murderer will be found and punished severely. Anyone who is suspected will not be punished. Let it go.”
After a pause, the emperor looked at Li Xu and said: "If Li Qing feels that it is inappropriate to take off his clothes in court, then he should go to the side hall and have the imperial physician examine him."
"Come here, send the imperial doctor!"
As soon as these words came out, panic appeared on Li Xu's downcast face.
Although many days have passed and the wound has basically healed, the imperial doctor can still detect that it is a new injury suffered recently.
Li Xu never expected that Yu Zheng would suddenly attack the court.
This move may seem impulsive and reckless, but it catches people off guard and leaves them with no way to escape.
