"Don't talk about anything else first. Let's talk about what to do next."
Lu Qingtang took the initiative to sit next to Mo Zeshen and changed the topic.
As expected, Mo Zeshen turned his attention to Lu Qingtang and said, "Although it is now clear that King Zhennan may have been framed, there is no proof after all. We still have to start with Li Zhi. In order not to alert the snake, I turned around and asked Yuan Lang put the letter back to its original place and pretended that he didn't know anything. Let's see Li Zhi's next move first."
"Then you can go on a date with Li Jingshu tomorrow." Lu Qingtang said, "Maybe we can get some useful information out of her."
Mo Zeshen's expression immediately turned ugly. He looked at Lu Qingtang with a cold expression, "Do you really want me to be intimate with other women?"
Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment, then laughed dryly, "I know you keep a clean mind, but sometimes you have to resort to some extreme measures. For example, to deal with a nymphomaniac like Li Jingshu, a beauty trap is the best way to deal with it."
After saying that, he pointed at Zeng Ke and said, "She doesn't like Ouyang Ke. If she does, I will ask Ouyang Ke to replace you immediately."
Mo Zeshen snorted coldly, his face turned livid, he stood up and left the room without looking back.
Lu Qingtang looked surprised. She looked at Ji Wenzhan and asked, "Did I say something wrong?"
Ji Wenzhan shook his head, "This matter is originally a matter of the government. We helped him with suggestions. He should be grateful. Why should he be angry? Isn't the prince great? I sympathize with you now. I have been with him before. What day?"
Zeng Ke, who was on the side, suddenly laughed. He squinted at Lu Qingtang, then turned to Ji Wenzhan, and sneered: "She is so stupid, forget it, why are you stupid too? I think you two are a family. , why don’t you two become sworn brothers, one is a silly brother and the other is a silly sister, how wonderful!”
After saying that, Zeng Ke turned around and left with a very cool stride.
But what did he mean, and why was it so hard to understand?
Lu Qingtang turned his face and shouted at his back: "Zeng Ke, stop for me, what do you mean? If you dare to scold me, it will be your fault if you rebel!"
However, Zeng Ke didn't even look back and quickly disappeared into the night.
In the room, Lu Qingtang and Ji Wenzhan were left staring at each other, unable to understand the meaning of Zeng Ke's words.
…
At dawn the next day, Lu Qingtang was woken up by a scream.
"Who is it? It's so noisy early in the morning!"
Lu Qingtang rubbed his eyes, got up and washed himself. It was learned that the three babies had already had breakfast and were now being taken by Su Mu to look at flowers in the garden with Mo Xinyu and Shui Lingxun.
After washing, she took a look at Wang Biao who was still sleeping.
She asked Yu Bai about Wang Biao's condition yesterday, and told him to go back to bed quickly, after all, he stayed up all night.
It's just that enduring like this is not the answer. You have to think of another way. No one can waste time with a living dead like this.
Yu Bai poured her a cup of tea, and the two chatted for a while. Not long after, Kou Dan hurried to the room and said, "Sorry, madam, Li Zhi is dead."
Lu Qingtang was just about to lower her head to drink tea when she heard Kou Dan's words. It was like a bolt from the blue. The tea in her mouth almost choked her to death.
"What did you say? Li Zhi is dead!"
Koudan quickly took the tea cup, put it on a convenient cabinet, and then carried it for her, "Be careful, madam."
Lu Qingtang was choked and coughed until tears came out, but he still didn't forget to ask about Li Zhi, "What happened? How did he die? We had dinner together last night, wasn't it nice?"
Kou Dan said: "It was said that he was hanged. Early in the morning, Mrs. Li went to the study to find Li Zhi, and she found that the person was hanging from the beam. He was hard."
Lu Qingtang got the general idea, gave Yu Bai a few random instructions, and hurried to Li Zhi's study.
Outside the study, many government servants were standing outside, looking inside. Li Zhi's wife and daughter Li Jingshu cried so hard that their faces were completely pale and looked very sad.
In the study, Mo Zeshen was talking to Li Zhi's master, the magistrate and the county magistrate of Fangcheng County.
Lu Qingtang walked into the study room. At this time, Li Zhi had been put down from the beam. She stepped forward to take a look and took the autopsy record from Mo Zeshen's hand.
"It was actually suicide?" Lu Qingtang was a little surprised.
Mo Zeshen gave her a helpless look, "I didn't expect that he would commit suicide."
Lu Qingtang glanced at the furnishings in the room, "There must be a reason, right?"
Mo Zeshen raised his chin towards the position of the county magistrate, who immediately presented a piece of paper to Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang took the piece of paper. The general meaning on it was that his wife had cheated on her. He couldn't think of it at the moment, so he committed suicide.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and then she looked at Mo Zeshen in disbelief, "That's it?"
Mo Zeshen spread his hands, "What else?"
Lu Qingtang immediately threw the "suicide note" to the county magistrate, "Are you sure it is Li Zhi's handwriting? Is there any imitation, or ghostwriting or something like that?"
The county magistrate replied: "Hui Niangzi, it is indeed the handwriting of the magistrate. The writing is smooth and there is nothing unusual."
Lu Qingtang glanced at Li Zhi's body again, "This is too outrageous. Who is this person? He dares to even be the daughter-in-law of the county magistrate... I'm a little curious."
At this time, Mo Zeshen heard a cold snort in his ears, "Who else could it be besides your good friend with unknown origins?"
Lu Qingtang was stunned for a moment, "You mean Ouyang Ke?"
Ji Wenzhan had always been prudent, not to mention that he was still the prince of Zhennan and would never do such a thing, so she subconsciously said Zeng Ke's name.
But if you think about it carefully, Zeng Ke is a bit glib and seems to be as dishonest as a playboy, but he is not so depraved.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingtang immediately denied it, "Mo Zeshen, what are you talking about? I know I don't like Ouyang Ke, but I can't slander others like this. Besides, Mrs. Li is old enough to be a mother, don't think nonsense. .”
Mo Zeshen sneered. He leaned into Lu Qingtang's ear and breathed hot air, "Why are you so anxious? I didn't say it was him. Why are you so protective? Do you like him?"
Lu Qingtang immediately smiled and glanced at him coldly, "How do you know? He was lying under my bed yesterday? I didn't expect that King Tangtang Chen had such a hobby. It's really disgusting."
Mo Zeshen: "..."
He was so angry that he kicked the study door and strode out of the study.
Wu Zuo and the county magistrate both looked confused, wondering why he suddenly became angry.
Lu Qingtang also followed him out of the study, and happened to see Zeng Ke coming back.
He was carrying pancakes and steamed buns wrapped in oil paper, and he was accompanied by Miss Xin'er and Dong Chengbin. It seemed that the three of them went to buy steamed buns together.
What's strange is that Dong Chengbin's clothes are wet.
