Best friends reunited, but the air was filled with a strange smell.
Cui Jie was confused and Jinxiang felt ashamed. The two looked at each other in pairs. Jinxiang's face turned red and white for a while, and his mood was complicated and unspeakable.
"Ruier, why did you come to Dali Temple?" Cui Jie looked at her curiously.
Jin Xiang tried to keep his expression calm, but his hands nervously grasped the corners of his clothes.
"I... came to pay a visit to the Minister of Dali Temple." Jin Xiang blurted out.
Cui Jie asked in confusion: "Why are you visiting the temple minister?"
Jin Xiang panicked. It took countless lies to make up a lie, but she was not used to lying and couldn't think of a reason at the moment.
"I...my father asked me to deliver a letter to the temple minister." Jin Xiang finally made up another reason.
Cui Jie quickly glanced at the carriage in Jinxiang and said: "Why did you bring so much food and clothing to deliver the letter? Hey, there are also bedding..."
Jin Xiang blinked rapidly: "I...I'm moving."
After thinking about it, the reason for moving was a genius. Jin Xiang secretly gave himself a thumbs up, and then said with certainty: "That's right, I'm moving and will send a message to the Minister of Dali Temple along the way."
Cui Jie Yanran smiled, took her arm affectionately, and said, "Let's go, I will accompany you to deliver the letter."
Jinxiang panicked again. Where could she get the letter to send? Sure enough, a lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
"No, it's not necessary. The Dali Temple Minister is not here, so I'll leave first." Jin Xiang trimmed his hair and hair to cover up his panic.
Just as she was about to leave, Jin Xiang suddenly remembered, yes, this person in front of her was her best friend. According to normal social etiquette, she should also ask her best friend what she was doing at Dali Temple.
Although she knew that Cui Jie was here to visit Li Qinzai,... social etiquette could not be broken.
"What are Jie'er doing here?" Jin Xiang asked with a smile.
Cui Jie suddenly looked sad and said, "My husband is in jail. I'm here to visit him."
Jin Xiang nodded: "I heard that the Yan Sheng case caused a big commotion in Chang'an City and implicated many people. It is said that County Uncle Li was ordered to investigate the case. The two princesses were framed. It was County Uncle Li who led the people to rush in. Zongzhengji rescued them and uncovered the real mastermind."
Cui Jie hummed and said, "But he is still in jail after all..."
Sighing faintly, Cui Jie said: "After this incident, I still have to advise my husband to stay in Ganjing Village and stop getting involved in court affairs. Just teach students as before, occasionally get some new things, and bring buckwheat with you." Fishing by the river, a family of three has a quiet but fulfilling life, how nice it is."
"The court is too dangerous. My husband should not set foot there again. I am lucky this time and will be able to come out soon. What about next time? It is a dangerous place and if you make one wrong step, you will be doomed and the whole house will collapse."
Jinxiang was silent for a moment and said softly: "No matter what Mr. Li does, he must have a reason why he has to do it. He is a great talent in the country, and his thoughts are very easy to figure out."
"If he is willing to be the hero who turns the tide, you will accompany him through the storm. If he is willing to be ordinary and live in peace, you will be his good wife who will support his husband and raise his children..."
"It is God's mercy to find a beloved in this life. Jie'er, you are a blessed person, so you should cherish your blessings."
Listening to the strong envious tone in Jin Xiang's words, Cui Jie felt something was wrong. She looked her over carefully and said, "Rui'er, you... are a little different today."
Jin Xiang was startled, and said with a concealed smile: "What's different? Don't worry about it. Uncle Li helped my father regain the holy favor. He was kind to me, Prince Teng, so I said a few nice words to him." .”
After saying this, Jinxiang suddenly realized that he couldn't stay any longer, and the more he talked, the more he revealed his secrets.
So Jin Xiang hurriedly made up an excuse, boarded the carriage in a panic and left.
Cui Jie frowned and stared at Jinxiang's carriage walking away. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jinxiang's behavior was a bit strange.
Qiao'er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Auntie, is she the second mother that dad found for me?"
Cui Jie was surprised: "Second mother?"
Then Cui Jie looked at the direction where the carriage disappeared again, with a thoughtful expression.
…………
In the prison of Dali Temple, a family of three reunited after a long absence. Cui Jie and Qiao'er felt heartbroken when they saw Li Qinzai imprisoned in the cage, and burst into tears again.
Li Qinzai comforted him for a long time through the cell door, and swore to the sky that he would be released after serving his sentence in three days.
Li Qinzai's poisonous oath was very poisonous, more poisonous than feces, and his tone of voice when he swore was sonorous, powerful, and quite convincing. Cui Jie and Qiao'er finally believed it.
The family of three gathered in the prison for a long time, until it was already dark, Cui Jie and Qiao'er reluctantly left, agreeing to come back to accompany him tomorrow.
Looking at the backs of his wife and children leaving the dark corridor of the prison, Li Qinzai smacked his lips, suddenly not wanting to go to jail.
Wouldn't it be nice to go back and live with your wife and children? Why do you have to stay in jail?
At first, I wanted to avoid the limelight, but I could actually hide back in Ganjingzhuang. Why was I so crazy that I wanted to go to jail?
Once the idea came to his mind, Li Qinzai suddenly realized his stupidity.
Damn it, miscalculation! I spent several days in jail in vain!
I wish I could cut my wrists, dip them in blood, and write a big word "Stupid" on the wall of the prison.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't calm down. Li Qinzai suddenly jumped up, grabbed the fence and shouted outside: "Come on, I want to escape from prison!"
This loud roar immediately aroused great resonance from other prisoners in the prison, so the Dali Temple Prison exploded, and countless prisoners followed suit and roared.
Some people yelled that the food was poor, some yelled that they were wronged, and some even yelled at the jailers for their bad torture skills.
Soon, the jailer came in angrily and found out that the person who was leading the trouble was actually Li County's uncle. The jailer immediately changed his expression and put on a bitter look. He squatted in front of the cell door and begged Li County's uncle to stop making trouble.
"Oh, there is no one to talk to me. My mouth is too lonely. I just yell a few times." Li Qinzai said lightly.
The jailer's face turned green. You can shout whatever you want. What does it mean to shout that you want to escape from prison?
Then the jailer respectfully told Li Qinzai that the fourth prince wanted to see him and was waiting outside, along with the two princesses.
Li Qinzai thought for a while and decided not to see him. He asked the jailer to tell Li Sujie that it would not be too late to see him again when he was released from prison.
He cannot be seen in prison, and his great and glorious image has been destroyed. How can he be whipped in the future?
…………
The next day, there was a meeting in Tai Chi Palace.
Li Zhi sat in the Taiji Hall and announced that the case of Yan Sheng had been investigated and solved, and the mastermind committed suicide out of fear of crime. The case was over.
Not only that, Li Zhi also ordered the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment to review the palace officials and officials involved in the case, and all the innocent people involved were overturned and released.
As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials in the court heaved a sigh of relief.
This damn case is finally over!
For many days, countless officials in Chang'an City were on tenterhooks, fearing that they would be implicated. After such a big incident happened, people inside and outside Chang'an Palace were in panic. Even passers-by on the streets felt inexplicably uneasy.
Fortunately, the emperor was kind and did not follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in killing people. Not only that, he also issued an order to overturn the verdict of the innocent.
So all the civil and military officials of the court saluted Li Zhi and praised our emperor's benevolence.
This time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty truly praised Li Zhi sincerely, without any trace of hypocrisy.
If nothing else, just because the sword hanging above his head has disappeared, and the whole family no longer has to panic.
Li Yifu, who was standing in the courtroom, quietly observed Li Zhi's face, then suddenly stood up and praised the emperor as usual, and then talked about Weinan County Bo Li Qinzai's attack on Zongzheng Temple with his troops.
Of course it was wrong to attack the government office, but in order to save the two innocent princesses, Li Qinzai followed the authority in a hurry. Strictly speaking, not only was he not guilty, but he was meritorious. The minister with meritorious service is still in jail in Dali Temple, which is really unjustifiable.
So Li Yifu expressed impassionedly in the Golden Palace that the emperor's benevolence should not chill the hearts of the heroes, and asked the emperor to issue an order to release County Uncle Li.
This time the courtiers were strangely silent and no one expressed any objection.
As early as after Wang Fusheng committed suicide, the truth about the Weisheng case came to light. The court officials already knew that the two princesses were innocent. Uncle Li rushed into Zongzheng Temple to rescue the Tian family's flesh and blood. It was indeed not his fault. Even if he was wrong, they were already squatting in Dali Temple. for several days.
What's more, the emperor just announced that the Weisheng case is over, and Li Qinzai's imprisonment is also part of the Weisheng case. Since it is over, Li Qinzai should be released.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what Li Yifu played today was basically the emperor's intention, but it was just pretending to say it through Li Yifu's mouth.
The emperor has made it clear that he wants to protect County Uncle Li, who would be so ignorant as to stand up and oppose him?
If I dare to oppose you and try it, the emperor will be annoyed. I will continue to investigate the case by saying that I am tired of winning. If the investigation lasts forever, I will ask you if you are afraid.
So as Li Yifu's words came to fruition, not only did no one in the civil and military administration of the Manchu Dynasty object, but they unanimously agreed with Li Yifu's advice and asked the emperor to issue an order to release Li Qinzai.
