Seeing that the people around him were silent, Lin Xi asked, "What do you think of this matter?"
Lu Yan: "If it was really done by the Lu family, it would be a good thing. He was instructed by the Zhao people. If Li Guo is dissatisfied, he will only express his dissatisfaction with the Zhao people."
Lin Xi: "You are right."
I'm afraid that both the emperor and the ministers will think so.
Now it is very necessary to push someone to take the blame and settle the matter.
Therefore, even if the evidence is not that sufficient, everyone will agree that it was the Lu family.
Moreover, no one can afford to investigate a family that has been around for many years.
Something is wrong once you check it out.
The Lu family had taken refuge with King Duan before, and King Duan loved money. The Lu family had done all kinds of immoral things to help King Duan make money.
People from the Lu family who were officials in the court often participated in her uncle's music.
Lin Xi didn't care who killed the third prince of Li Kingdom.
Evil people will have worse trials. As long as it doesn't affect her, don't influence the Duke's government to care who he is.
This matter is a bit unfair to the Lu family, but looking at the evil things the Lu family has done before, it is not an injustice.
This is the result that everyone hopes for, and she naturally has no objection.
As long as there is no fight, everything can be easily discussed.
The group of civil servants in the imperial court clearly organized their three-dimensional defense.
If my uncle wins this battle, he will be victorious and must be careful.
Damn it, if he loses in the end, he will be even more guilty. It is estimated that the top ten crimes have been listed before he returns to the capital.
After Lin Xi listened to the guards' report on the recent events in the capital, he sent someone to prepare hot water.
She hadn't washed herself properly during the past few days on the road, and she felt disgusted that she was dirty.
She turned to look at Lu Yan: "Do you want to take a bath too?"
Lu Yan raised his head and was about to say that we could come together. I heard Lin Xi say again, I'll wash first, you come in line behind me.
So he calmed down his thoughts and nodded calmly.
After taking a shower and putting on clean, scented clothes, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that he was alive.
I can't go back, and I can endure the dirty environment during my two years in the army.
Now I know what it means to go from extravagance to frugality.
Lu Yan naturally took the handkerchief from Lin Xi's hand and helped him wipe his hair.
Her hair was dark and thick and felt like satin.
After wiping her hair until it was half dry, Lin Xi moved a small stool and sat in the yard to bask in the sun and dry her hair.
Looking at Lu Yan's face, Lin Xi waved to him: "Come here, I'll shave your beard first, and then you can wash up."
On the road for days, he had neither time nor conditions to cleanse his face every day.
Lin Xi still likes the look of his fair face with a smooth chin.
Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked over and sat on the small stool in front of her.
Obviously he shouldn't go, but he went anyway.
Lin Xi bent over and shaved his beard carefully. Although it was her first time doing such a thing, luckily she was good at using a knife, so it wasn't too difficult.
She leaned closer, and their heads were very close to get a closer look.
Lu Yan was still thinking wildly at first. The razor blade was extremely sharp. As long as the other party applied a little force, it could cut his throat.
Too dangerous.
But looking at her face coming closer, he couldn't think about anything else. His neck gradually turned red, and he closed his eyes gently, his eyelashes trembling all the time.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the last stab.
"I think my skills are pretty good, are you satisfied?"
Lu Yan touched his smooth chin and said with a smile: "It's very good. It didn't scratch me. Can I still ask you for help in the future?"
Lin Xi had a sudden idea today and subconsciously refused: "Don't even think about it, just do your own thing."
Lu Yan: "How about I give you money?"
Lin Xi: "...This can be considered."
"So, how much does Madam charge?"
"Can one tael of silver be enough?" Lin Xi thought for a while. They were a couple anyway, so they couldn't make a clear calculation. Then he added, "If you think it's expensive, I can lower the price, even half a tael of silver is fine."
Lu Yan looked at her without saying anything. His light-colored pupils looked extremely beautiful under the sunlight.
Lin Xi: "...Do you think half a tael of silver is too expensive? The minimum you have to give me is five copper coins. The Qiaotou barber charges five copper coins each time."
The corners of Lu Yan's mouth kept rising, and finally he laughed.
They are willing to accept only five copper coins. I think I still have some affection for him as a husband.
His wife is very cute even when she is fussing over everything.
She has a face that is so beautiful that it is fresh and refined, but her temper is very ferocious, and she wishes she could have both black and white.
It's so rare to have such a face with such a temperament. It looks cute no matter how you look at it.
She was not someone he would like passionately, but he was still hopelessly in love with her.
Lin Xi raised his chin: "Why are you laughing? Are you not willing to give me five copper coins?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows: "I'm willing to give it. How can I refuse such a worthwhile deal?"
Seeing that her hair was almost dry, Lin Xi returned to the room.
She was going to catch up on her sleep.
She has not had a good night's sleep these days. Although her sleep quality is good, in terms of comfort, it cannot be compared with the bed in the Duke's Mansion.
When she turned around and left, the hem of her skirt brushed Lu Yan's finger.
Lu Yan was in a better mood and quickly went to the bathroom to wash up.
No matter how noisy it was outside, now he just wanted to take a nap with his wife.
Lin Xi was pulled into someone's arms in a daze.
She reached out and pushed, but the other party didn't move at all and didn't let go.
Thinking that sleep was more important, he ignored it and continued to sleep.
The afternoon sun shone through the window on the floor in the room. The two men slept in each other's arms with their heads pressed against each other.
Texue wanted to give the young lady a cup of bird's nest and her uncle a bowl of tonic.
When he walked into the door and saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment and then retreated back the way he came.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas in the afternoon, Ta Xue thought about how close the eldest lady and her uncle were to each other.
Maybe next year the Duke's Mansion will have a baby.
——
With the help of all parties, the Lu family was quickly convicted.
Although He Chirang knew that this matter had nothing to do with the Lu family, he did not object.
Even if it hadn't been for this matter, the Lu family's past actions would have been punishable by death.
If no suspect is found, once a war breaks out between the two countries, many people on the border of Zhou State and the Duke's Mansion will be affected.
He is not a rigid person, and he naturally has concerns in his heart.
The Li State envoy accepted the investigation results, but said that since the third prince died in the capital of Zhou State, Zhou officials were involved.
Although it would not start a war, Zhou could not escape the blame.
All the officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is no war, everything will be easy.
If a general is appointed during a war, the ministers will express their physical discomfort and refuse in every possible way.
But if you want to appoint a minister, everyone will naturally fight for it.
This time, the head of the ministers is the prince and the fu.
The negotiations were quickly completed, and Zhou and Li became allies and would not invade each other. In the next ten years, Zhou gave Li 80,000 pieces of silver and 50,000 pieces of silk every year.
The land of Zhou State is fertile and the products are rich, so these silver coins are naturally nothing. Emperor Zhou was also very satisfied with the result.
After all, although Li is a barbarian land, the cavalry is very fierce.
If a fight breaks out, the imperial court will suffer even more losses. Even if he wins, there will be pros and cons for him as the emperor...
Liang Jingan, who won the war, became even more famous.
If you want to subvert the world... it's not difficult.
Emperor Zhou trusted Liang Jing'an as always, but there was more and more fear in his trust.
His health is getting worse and worse. One of his three sons has died, one is infertile, and the other has a disease in his legs.
The son is much weaker than the minister, how can he not be afraid or anxious.
Besides, these supplies are actually for support to Li State. Support them in starting a war with Zhao.
Li Guo and Zhao Guo were fighting, so they had no time to find trouble with Zhou Guo.
Most of the high-ranking families in the court supported taking money to settle matters. This way you can continue to have fun.
However, most of the officials who were promoted through the scientific examination objected, why would they give away so much money?
It's just that their official positions are not low, and they are insignificant.
Ignoring the objections, the matter was quickly settled.
Lin Xi knew that talking was useless, so he remained silent.
