Diligent government affairs building.
Wu Huaishi walked into the side hall and glanced up, only to see Gao Lishi looking through the files.
"Grandpa."
"Let's talk about the case first." Gao Lishi asked: "Who kidnapped Xi Liuniang and killed the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"It was Xue Bai who did it, really."
"Why did he do that?"
"He is investigating the death of King Ruyang." Wu Huaishi saw Gao Lishi glance over with blazing eyes and said truthfully: "I don't dare to lie to you. Xue Bai really told King Ruyang that 'Li Qian is still alive', Ruyang The king told King Shou."
This sentence is enough. Xue Bai did have a way to kill himself by exploring the secrets of the palace and killing people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Gao Lishi did not ask any more questions and continued to look through the file. Amidst the occasional rustling of pages turning, he turned to the last page.
"Even if there are facts, why not provide all the evidence?"
Wu Huaishi was surprised and replied: "The right prime minister has promised that he will find out."
With a "bang" sound, Gao Lishi threw the file on the ground and said calmly: "Read it yourself."
Wu Huaishi picked it up, looked through it, and looked through it again with some disbelief, his eyes showing surprise.
Li Linfu said that the matter should be left to Du Youlin. If evidence is found, or even Xi Liuniang is found, Xue Bai can be convicted; if no evidence is found, it means that Du Youlin colluded with Xue Bai. In addition, various yamen also Evidence will be prepared to finalize the case, including King Ruyang and a final letter.
But these did not appear in the dossier at all.
"Perhaps the officials in the court are too slow..."
"fool."
Gao Lishi scolded, interrupting Wu Huaishi's speech, and scolded: "Don't say it's useless. I only see that you are not as smart as Xue Bai. He persuaded Li Linfu."
"Xue Baizhen reached out to the chamberlain. He is investigating what happened back then. Who knows what kind of evil intentions he is hiding! Grandpa, think about it again, why did Xue Xiu adopt such an adopted son?"
Hearing these words, Gao Lishi fell silent.
Wu Huaishi said hurriedly: "Master, let me go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again..."
Just as he was talking, there was a young eunuch outside the door who poked his head here from a distance, and Gao Lishi called him over.
"Aweng, Guo Qianli, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, wants to see you."
"Bring him here."
After giving the order, Gao Lishi pointed at Wu Huaishi and cursed: "Look at their methods, and then look at yours."
Wu Huaishi made a bitter face, raised his hand and slapped himself, saying: "My child is useless. Although I have found out his thoughts, I can't find any evidence."
Gao Lishi put his hands into his sleeves and sat still. After waiting for a while, Guo Qianli came in.
"Hey, General Wu is here. Can I report to General Gao alone?"
"No." Gao Lishi put on airs and said, "You don't want to talk about it."
Guo Qianli touched his belly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Xue Lang asked me to bring a message to General Gao."
"Say it."
"What's going on? He got into trouble again and was caught, but he said he was wronged. He must have offended someone by fulfilling his duties as censor. By the way, he is an official of the imperial court and should be in charge of the affairs of the imperial court. .”
Guo Qianli finally relayed Xue Bai's words and added another sentence: "General Gao, I understand Xue Lang's character. Although he can easily offend others, he will not lie."
"I know, let's go."
"Here."
Guo Qianli turned around to leave, but suddenly realized that he still missed a sentence and exclaimed.
"Wait a minute, one more thing, Xue Lang said that he has never been involved in palace affairs."
Wu Huaishi heard this and retorted directly: "He lied!"
"Did I lie?" Guo Qianli said, "Xue Lang asked me to tell you one sentence, so I will tell you one sentence. What did I lie about?"
"You... don't mess around here!"
"Huh? Am I messing around again?"
The matter was originally about whether there was enough evidence to kill Xue Bai, but because of Guo Qianli's words, it might become a question of who Gao Lishi believed more. Wu Huaishi couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Shut up, everyone."
Gao Lishi waved Guo Qianli away and said calmly to Wu Huaishi: "You are no match for Xue Bai. You have made many mistakes and stayed in the palace."
"Grandpa, I..."
"I have found out clearly and will naturally take action."
Gao Lishi had no expression on his face and ordered Wu Huaishi to be taken to the residence in the palace. After thinking about it, he asked someone, "Is Princess Hezheng here?"
"Just entered the palace gate."
"I will personally go to greet..."
~~
Gao Lishi had such a high status in the palace that the saint called him "General", the prince called him "Second Brother", and other princes and princesses also called him "Aweng" to please him. Although Li Yuetu was of lower rank, he also called him "Aweng". Weng".
"Aweng, is it the saint who summoned me today?"
"The saint has rested. This old servant has something to ask the princess. Please come here."
After entering the side hall, Li Yuetu immediately said a blessing and said: "Thank you Aweng for buying me a house. Thank you Aweng for helping me cover it at the Taichi Banquet."
Gao Lishi saw her well-behaved, a smile appeared on his old face, and he asked: "Is the princess satisfied with the house arranged by the old slave?"
"satisfy!"
Li Yuetu nodded vigorously, then shook his head for a moment, and whispered: "It's just...it's too close to Xue Bai. It's right next door, inviting people to gossip."
"This is what the old slave thinks. The prince and Xue Bai are not on good terms, but there is no unsolvable knot in the world. As the saying goes, 'Leave a ray of favor in a favor so that we can meet each other easily in the future.' The princess is just a ray of favor, and it will definitely be beneficial in the future. Stable for the country."
"In Aweng's eyes, is Xue Bai so important?"
Gao Lishi said: "I have been watching people all my life. I have never seen a young man as capable as him, but I have only seen two."
Li Yuetu couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Who is the other one?"
Gao Lishi smiled and raised his hand to point to the sky.
"saint?"
Li Yuetu reacted, quickly covered his mouth, smiled apologetically, and looked around so that no one else could hear him.
Gao Lishi also smiled, obviously liking this royal granddaughter very much.
There are many granddaughters of the saint, and many of them please him, but only Li Yuetu's sincere and sincere letter when he interceded for Crown Princess Wei Shi moved him and he knew that she was a person worth helping.
Li Yuetuo was not Webster's biological child, but was raised by Webster, and was willing to repay with his life. This was nothing more than "repaying a favor", which seemed very simple. But Gao Lishi had watched the palace all his life and knew that there were countless descendants of the royal family, but there were really very few people who could "repay the favor". Far fewer than the world expected, it can be said that there were almost none.
Over the years, it was he who allowed Li Yuetu to visit Webster in Yeting Palace.
Therefore, during the Taichi Banquet, Yao Siyi would secretly open the Jiayou Gate every time and would not raise the matter to defend himself; Li Longji also did not pursue Li Yuituo, and did not even pursue Xue Bai openly and went with Li Yuituo... all because of this. In Gao Lishi's face.
"Aweng, why did you call me here today?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't want to get married yet." Li Yuetu pleaded.
Gao Lishi nodded and said: "Then I will ask the saint to grant you another year of mercy, and you can choose a sweetheart."
"Thank you Aweng. I will provide for Aweng in his old age from now on."
"Don't be obedient. I have one more thing to ask you. Can you promise not to lie to me, an old slave?"
"I dare not lie to anyone, Aweng."
"Okay." Gao Lishi straightened his face and asked, "That day, Xue Bai went to Yeting Palace with you. Who did he go to see?"
Li Yuetu was stunned for a moment, his face looked troubled, and he couldn't answer.
Gao Lishi was an experienced man and could tell at a glance that something was wrong with her.
"What? Did you promise that he wouldn't tell?"
Li Yuetu was indeed in a dilemma.
Before she came, she had just promised Yan Yan not to tell others that Xue Bai went to Yeting Palace to meet Princess Boping, lest he be involved in the case of the three common people. At that time, Yan Yan said, "My husband was adopted by Xue Xiu. He is curious about the past, but he has no bad intentions."
If others asked, Li Yuetu would definitely not tell her, but Gao Lishi was too kind to her.
Gao Lishi said: "If the princess is in trouble, I can ask a few questions. If so, the princess will nod, okay?"
"Aweng, can you promise me not to embarrass Xue Bai?"
"I'll try my best, old slave."
"Well."
"Xue Bai arrived at Yeting Palace, but met Princess Boping?"
Li Yuetu was stunned. He didn't expect that Gao Lishi would find out the truth when he asked, so he nodded, and then hurriedly explained: "He is an orphan and was adopted by Xue Xiu..."
Gao Lishi asked: "Did Xue Bai have a private chat with Princess Boping?"
Li Yuetu lowered his head and nodded lightly.
"Old slave knows."
"Aweng, what happened?"
"This matter has nothing to do with the princess." Gao Lishi said, "After the princess returns, she will not mention it to anyone again. This can be regarded as keeping her promise."
Li Yuetu was still waiting to speak.
"Go." Gao Lishi said, "Don't worry too much, if the prince is involved again, the country will be shaken."
This sentence frightened Li Yuetu, and she had to leave quickly.
~~
Dongshi, Fenghui Bank.
This place is not far from Xingqing Palace. Du Jin sits here and can receive the latest news as soon as possible.
"Sister, don't worry."
While waiting for the news, Du Jin took Du Mei's hand and patted it gently, saying: "Almost no one in the court realizes how much gold, silver and copper coins Fenghui Bank controls in Chang'an. They don't even know that once Fenghui Bank goes into trouble, What will happen? If Xue Bai is good or bad, I will make them regret it."
Du Wei was only slightly worried at first, but was surprised when she heard this.
"What's wrong? Is it dangerous this time?"
"some."
Du Wei said: "What on earth are you doing? Are you still unwilling to tell me?"
"It's not that I want to hide it from sister, it's just... the matter is a bit big."
Du Jin thought about it and thought that it was indeed time to tell Du Mei, so she faced Du Mei's anxious and curious eyes and slowly opened her mouth.
"Xue Bai is actually the son of the deposed prince Li Ying."
Du Jin was stunned for a while, and then she gradually understood why Xue Bai and Du Jin had done those things that she thought were extremely crazy.
"You...do you want that...position?"
"yes."
"Give me a moment."
Du Jin came forward and asked in a low voice: "If sister knew that she was going to become a traitor, would she still go to his room that night?"
"Stop making trouble and talk to me about business. What happened?"
"good."
Du Jin was still close to Du Wei, and when she couldn't see it, he raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth.
She concealed Xue Bai's impersonation of the prince, but wanted to see if she could hide it from her sister.
"To put it simply, Xue Bai's identity was discovered..."
The two sisters talked for a long time.
There were hurried footsteps on the corridor, and there was news coming back.
"Er Niang, the news is back. Gao Lishi invited Princess Hezheng to the palace."
"good."
Du Jin turned to Du Wei and said, "Sister, please go to Xue's house and ask Yan Sanniang to ask Princess Hezheng whether she has kept her promise. This matter is very important."
"good."
Soon, another message arrived.
"Er Niang, Guo Qianli said that he had relayed Lang Jun's words."
"Where is Wu Huaishi?" Du Jin asked, "Did he go to Youxiang's Mansion?"
"I haven't seen him leave the palace yet."
"It's our turn to fight back." Du Jin ordered: "Send a message to my grandpa and ask him to reverse the case and take the Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion into custody to testify that Wu Huaishi framed Xue Bai."
"Here."
"Are you ready to deal with King Shou's witnesses?"
"Nothing is wrong. He is terminally ill. We gave his children a large sum of money and let them go to Yangzhou."
"Bring it here and I will examine it myself."
"Here."
~~
Jingzhao Mansion.
After hearing the news, Du Youlin breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded, called Li Qijun, the legal officer of Jingzhao Mansion, and said: "We have got the murderer."
"So fast? But the guards didn't go to get anyone today..."
Du Younxi stroked his beard and said enigmatically: "How can we rely on these people who are eating nothing but corpses?"
The officials of Jingzhao Mansion change every year, but those police officers are tough. A bad commander like Wei Chang will not be easily manipulated, but Du Youlin has his own bad commander.
When he returned to Beijing, Du Youlin wanted to ask Fan Lao to be the commander who caught bad guys, but he was decisively rejected. It didn't matter, it didn't work out clearly, but he could use Fan Lao as the commander who caught bad guys secretly.
"Pass this official's orders to ascend to the throne!"
"Bang the drum!"
"Dong dong dong dong..."
Amidst the sound of drums, Du Youlin walked into the courtroom, straightened his official robe, sat down on the main seat, and glanced around the hall, only to see a beautiful and charming woman in her forties kneeling.
"Who is there?!"
"Nujia, Xi Liu Niang."
With one sentence, everyone in the hall was shocked.
Du Youlin asked: "I'm asking you, is it related to the murder case outside the city at the beginning of this month?"
"yes."
"Whatever happened, tell the truth."
"I dare not say..."
"Come here, first use the twenty-killing staff."
Xi Liu Niang's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately kowtowed and said, "The slave family was recruited. The slave family was arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stay in the Prince Ruyang's Mansion. After the death of the king, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent the slave family away from Chang'an, but they were kidnapped on the way."
"Who kidnapped you? And why did you kidnap you?"
"The Nu family doesn't know either. He keeps asking the Nu family if King Ruyang has... the prophecy drawn by King Shou when he was keeping filial piety for King Ning."
"What is it?" Du Youlin was startled and leaned back, "A prophecy?!"
It's not that he acted, but he really suffered greatly because of his prophecies.
At the same time, some of the officials who were on the jury realized something was wrong and shouted: "Xi Liu Niang, who asked you to bite King Shou?"
In fact, Wu Huaishi's method of framing Xue Bai before was more crude. This time, Du Youlin had his own arrangements.
"You are not allowed to interrupt in court. Xi Liu Niang, tell me, who hijacked you?!"
"It's him."
Everyone turned their eyes and saw an ordinary man.
"Who is in the hall?"
"The villain Miao Mao is a guard of Huiling. He is affiliated with the right-leading army guard. The identity of the villain can be checked in the military register."
"Miao Mao, but you killed someone and kidnapped Xi Liu Niang?"
Miao Mao hesitated slightly and responded: "Yes."
"Recruit from the truth!"
"The villain was greedy for her beauty and took her to Huiling..."
"Come here, give me thirty punishments!"
No matter how beautiful Xi Liu Niang was, she was still in her forties. Du Youlin didn't believe that Miao Mao would kill someone for her, so he just gave the order.
The officers immediately knocked Miao Mao down and used their canes.
After ten strokes of the stick, Miao Qing couldn't stand it any longer, so she gave up.
"The villain is... he was ordered by King Shou to kidnap Xi Liu Niang."
"You still dare to talk nonsense? Keep fighting."
"Shang Guan, please spare my life. I'm not talking nonsense. Everything I say is true!"
"How could King Shou order you to do such a thing?"
"I really know King Shou. In November of the 29th year of Kaiyuan, I was in Huiling to let the emperor, Prince Ning, guard the mausoleum. In the first year of Tianbao, King Shou also came to Huiling as the adopted son of Prince Ning. , saying that he wanted to observe mourning for Prince Ning for three years, the villain was very confused at first, but later, after drinking in private, Prince Shou explained the reason."
Having said this, Miao Mao paused and looked back at the big staff in the courtroom. He saw no one beating him or asking questions.
No one said anything, just like no one wanted to know why King Shou had to observe mourning for three years. After all, if you heard this, you would get into big trouble.
The officials outside the door began to retreat.
Miao Mao decided to tell everyone.
"King Shou said that he didn't want the saint to make Yang Taizhen his concubine, so he kept his mourning for three years and refused to allow the saint to marry him. He would rather be the son of Prince Ning than the saint..."
"Shut up!" Du Youlin was shocked.
Li Qijun also looked ugly and stepped forward to cover Miao Mao's mouth.
But the more Miao Mao talked about it, the happier he became, and he felt excited about taking everyone to die together.
"Once, King Shou got drunk and said that although he did not want to be the son of a saint, he should inherit the throne because the throne originally belonged to King Ning, and he was King Ning's son, and he was to repay King Ning's kindness for the saint. "
"do not talk!"
Li Qijun stretched out his hand.
Miao Mao dodged and laughed.
"King Shou also performed a ritual ceremony, asking King Ning's spirit in heaven to bless him. He asked a magician to draw a prophecy, but the prophecy was taken away by King Ruyang. King Ruyang died a while ago, and King Shou found me and asked me to retrieve it. As for the prophecy, I had no choice but to kidnap Xi Liu Niang and ask..."
"Kill him with the stick! Give me the stick and kill him!"
"Hahaha, everything I said is true. You can go check it out and ask King Shou to confront me. Check it out. I guarantee it's all true..."
"Don't fight! It's not our turn to decide whether to kill him or not."
Li Qijun finally covered Miao Mao's mouth, and was sweating profusely at the same time.
"Shao Yin, this case... Jingzhao Mansion can no longer investigate."
~~
"Improper claims of prophecies, the construction of King Shou, and the criticism of Chengyu."
Li Linfu read it and said with emotion: "Xue Bai is now eighty percent of his true self."
Listening to this, Li Xiu felt scared, thinking that it was too risky to do this.
"Do you know which two points are missing?" Li Linfu asked.
"The child doesn't know."
"He's not ruthless enough." Li Linfu said, "It's time to kill Xi Liu Niang, cut her body into pieces, and let the officers follow the clues to find Miao Mao. This will make it easier to establish the case."
"This is."
However, Li Xiu felt that it was too cruel to directly conflict with King Shou and fight to the death.
"Wu Huaishi chose the most useless friend this time, just to see if things would go wrong with King Shou. However, Wu Huaishi has other options."
"But the child feels that both sides are biting too hard. Once the saint becomes angry, he will kill both sides."
"Xue Bai can afford to lose, he..."
Li Linfu said and suddenly stopped.
Li Xiu waited for a long time, but received no answer, so he asked doubtfully: "Grandpa?"
"What do I want to say?" Li Linfu knocked his head and murmured: "Du Youlin made false predictions and constructed the East Palace..."
~~
At night, Xingqing Palace.
Wu Huaishi was taken to Nanxun Hall, and when he looked around, he saw the saint's gloomy face, which was extremely terrifying.
The case was originally handed over to Gao Lishi, but the saint was unexpectedly alerted, and a big change may have occurred.
Wu Huaishi was very worried and stepped forward to prostrate himself.
"My slave, please wish the saint good health."
"Answer me honestly, did Li Jing investigate the case of three common people or hide the prophecy of King Shou? You have to force him to drink medicine and commit suicide."
"I would never dare to deceive a saint! There is no prophecy at all, it was fabricated by Xue Bai to frame..."
"Bang."
Another pile of files was pushed to Wu Huaishi's feet.
"Open your eyes and see if this is a forgery?"
In terms of ability to forge evidence, eunuchs like Wu Huaishi were still inferior to foreign ministers.
He flipped through the confessions, books, and prophecies with trembling fingers, and his heart sank, knowing that he was not good at overturning the evidence.
However, he could make the saint distrust Xue Bai.
"Sage, this slave is useless, this slave has been plotted against!" Wu Huaishi cried loudly, "These are really Xue Bai's false accusations against this slave!"
"Is it because he dealt with your 'father-in-law' in Yanshi?"
"This slave dare not hide anything from the saint." Wu Huaishi knelt down, resting his head on the ground, and said: "This slave is guilty of death and death. If you are willing to tell the truth, you will die... On the night when the imperial concubine left the palace, Xue Bai was at Mrs. Guo's house, with The noble concubine... stayed in the same room all night long."
There was silence in the hall.
The candlestick reflected Li Longji's figure, casting a shadow on the blanket.
Wu Huaishi knelt in the shadow and shivered.
"The slaves will never dare to trap the imperial concubine. As soon as the imperial concubine arrived at Guo Guo's wife's house, she sang Xue Baitui's song. Many people in the palace heard it. The sage will know it once he investigates."
Li Longji said nothing.
Wu Huaishi took courage and said again: "Xue Bai went to Yeting Palace and found King Ruyang to find out the secret relationship back then. He was so close to the imperial concubine. This son... has ulterior motives. Even the slaves felt confused when they saw him. The earth is timid, so I want to get rid of him.”
"roll."
Wu Huaishi quickly retreated half crawling and half rolling.
Li Longji sitting there was not as angry as he imagined, but was extremely calm.
"General Gao, do you know why I gave this matter to you to investigate?"
"This old slave can handle it well."
"I believe you." Li Longji said, "I don't want to make a decision on this matter myself, so General Gao will make the decision for me again."
"The old slave accepts the order."
Gao Lishi bowed in salute, stepped back, and left the palace. The night wind dried the sweat on his back and made him feel cool.
He felt that the saint's murderous intention was very serious.
~~
Mrs. Guo's Mansion.
Mingzhu rushed from the kitchen to the main room and quietly handed a note to Yang Yuyao's hand.
Yang Yuyao saw it and burned it on the candle.
"How?" Yang Yuhuan asked.
"The truth has been found out." Yang Yuyao considered it and said, "Those two eunuchs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not killed by Xue Bai."
"I said it was impossible. Who killed him?"
"I don't know."
Yang Yuyao did not say that Xue Bai put all the blame on King Shou.
She has never been clear about, nor dared to ask, how Yang Yuhuan feels about Li Long now.
"Anyway, it's been found out. Xue Bai is fine. Don't you need me to put in a good word for him?" Yang Yuhuan said with a smile, "I don't have to rush back to the palace. I just want to stay with Third Sister for a while."
"I'm just afraid... there will still be trouble."
The paper windows reflected the figures of the two sisters, forming a very beautiful picture in the moonlight.
Suddenly the sound of footsteps disturbed the night.
"Your Majesty, General Gao is here."
"Come here now?"
"Yes, they also surrounded Mrs. Guo's mansion and summoned all the palace officials."
"I'll go see him."
Yang Yuhuan and Gao Lishi have always had a good relationship. When they arrived in the hall, they were smiling like flowers.
"General Gao is here to take me back to the palace?"
In a word, it's like taking the upper hand in a game of chess.
Gao Lishi shook his head helplessly and said: "I came tonight to ask the imperial concubine a few questions. If the answer is good, the old slave can still speak for the imperial concubine. If the answer is not good..."
Yang Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, and the sparkle in his beautiful eyes dimmed a little.
"I understand that the king's love will never last forever."
"The imperial concubine must not be like this. It's just a misunderstanding." Gao Lishi sighed slightly, considered it, and asked: "I want to ask the imperial concubine, what is her relationship with Xue Bai?"
"Isn't it clear, General Gao?"
"It's true that I don't understand. This old slave really doesn't understand the relationship between men and women."
"The love between men and women?" Yang Yuhuan asked in surprise, "Why do you say this?"
"Then, on the night when the imperial concubine returned to Madam Guo's house, she met Xue Bai here."
"Of course not."
"Really not?"
"There was a curfew in Chang'an, and the third sister didn't hold a banquet that night. Who could I see coming?"
Gao Lishi pondered: "The imperial concubine sang a song that night, can you explain it clearly?"
"I knew it." Yang Yuhuan smiled, "Nian Nu taught me to sing it. If General Gao doesn't believe it, just ask her to sing it again."
"Old slave, I believe it."
"I'm afraid General Gao still doesn't believe it, right? But it's true. My birthday is on the first day of June. Niannu asked Xue Bai to compose a song and practiced it for a long time. That night, I happened to hear it. I thought it was novel, so I learned to sing it. I tried it several times, but I don’t know who is talking about it, even this little thing can cause trouble."
When Gao Lishi heard this, his heart trembled.
Although the imperial concubine is outside the palace today, she seems to be framed by a few rumors, but no one can guarantee that the saint will not be soft-hearted towards her. Her birthday is coming soon, and preparations for various celebrations have been started since the beginning of the year. The saint has never said that she will stop.
"The old slave has written down what the noble concubine said, and will explain it clearly to the saint."
"But I wonder who is harming me?"
Gao Lishi did not dare to answer, so he confessed and left Madam Guo's house, but he was still under strict guard.
By now, he had clearly seen the methods used by Xue Bai and Wu Huaishi. The sage likes cockfighting, and he has watched it for so long that he is very familiar with these pecking skills. Xue Bai still fought well this time, and he counterattacked several of Wu Huaishi's attacks.
But there were still a few things hidden in his heart that Xue Bai didn't expect.
For one thing, Xue Bai made a miscalculation regarding his relationship with Princess Hezheng. The handsome boy thought that the princess would help, but unexpectedly he had a better relationship with the princess.
Secondly, the saint's quarrel with the concubine and the expulsion of the concubine from the palace were actually intended to test him. Then, when Wu Huaishi sued the concubine for being in the same room with Xue Bai, it was difficult to explain the matter clearly, even if the concubine said everything. Fact... Of course, it is still possible for a saint to be soft-hearted.
Thirdly, this matter cannot be cleared up by backbiting Wu Huaishi and King Shou...
Thinking of this, Gao Lishi looked at the sky and reined in his horse.
"General, aren't you going back to the palace?"
"Go to Yeting Palace."
"But you can't enter Yeting Palace at night."
"Then I will wait outside the palace."
~~
The next day, it was dawn.
Du Jin woke up as soon as there was any movement outside the door. When she turned around, she saw that Du Jin was not asleep at all, she still looked worried.
Du Jin didn't have time to comfort her sister, but she heard the news first.
"Gao Lishi went to Mrs. Guo's house last night."
"What was the result? Did he let him go?"
"Lang Jun is still locked up by him."
Du Jin frowned and said, "Where are the Gaolishi people?"
"Went to Yeting Palace."
"Keep exploring."
Du Wei watched the spies go away and asked, "The result is not good?"
"I'm sure the opponent won't have any other tricks. We have fought back every time." Du Jin bit his fingers and murmured in a low voice: "We have accused our opponent of a bigger crime, and the evidence is complete and the facts are clear. What the opponent said is ridiculous, and coupled with the relationship between the noble concubine, Gao Lishi should help us no matter what."
"Don't worry, he hasn't made a decision yet."
"No, I've taken risks too many times. I'm afraid I've really annoyed the saint this time. No matter how favorable the evidence is, it can't compare to the hearts of the people."
Du Jin took two steps and secretly made up his mind.
It would be best if she could get Gao Lishi's help this time, but if not, she would have to make the worst plan.
"Sister, have you taken the things I asked you to take from Xue's house?"
"Take it."
"show me."
Du Wei then took out a scroll and spread it out.
It is a painting, but it is completely different from the paintings in the world. There are many small paintings in a scroll. The first painting shows a couple, the man is a general, the woman is pregnant, and there are small words below.
"Li Jing, the chief military officer of Chentangguan, was married to the Yin family. He had two sons, the eldest named Jin Zha and the second named Muzha. Mrs. Yin later became pregnant again. It has been three years and six months..."
From then on, each painting is the story of Nezha, including scenes of Nezha's rebirth after death.
Du Jin sat and looked at it for a long time, then put away the scroll and placed it on his lap.
She wrote an invitation and told people: "General Gao's residence has been changed into Baoshou Temple. He promised that the courtiers will go there today. You can go there with my post and wait for him. Be sure to invite him over." trip."
"Here."
"Today's dine-in must be rich, so that everyone is full. Add half a bottle of wine to each person, but don't get drunk..."
(End of chapter)
