First of all, Li Hao didn't believe that Zhang Yao could do this. How could a Yulin deputy general from a good family in six counties have the ability to spread the news to everyone in one day? There must be someone behind this incident. The powerful ones hide behind them.
So what is the purpose of this man? Let’s not talk about the truth or falsehood of this matter. Since he is in a high position, he should understand that Emperor Wen is partial. He was only demoted half a rank when he was good at killing King Yong.
Although King Yong made a mistake first, the people who died now were all ordinary people, and the number of people was nothing, at least compared to Wu Han, it was dwarfed.
Therefore, even if Ling Buyi is really found out, his life will not be in danger. It is more likely that he will be demoted and left. But after the matter is resolved, Emperor Wen will still call Ling Buyi back, so the final result is more likely to be Send Ling Buyi out for a while.
But who needs this? Li Hao then thought of Xiao Yuehou. After all, Ling Buyi should be getting closer to the truth about Gucheng back then.
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yuehou, Peng Kun and Ling Yi are the most nervous, but judging from the current progress, Xiao Yuehou is obviously more urgent.
After all, there is not much evidence that Xiao Yuehou and Peng Kun colluded with the remnants of the ruthless emperor. After all, Wu Han was the first to enter the isolated city to rescue them.
After this guy broke through the city, he carried out a massacre in the city with the idea of avenging Huo Chong. In the process, almost all those who knew that the two were colluding with foreign enemies were eliminated.
On the other hand, in Xiaoyuehou, this guy used the miasma to delay the rescue of the isolated city, and did not deal with it from beginning to end, so that all the military doctors who knew the details at the time survived, so naturally he became more anxious.
Of course, it is also possible that this matter is not as complicated as Li Hao thought, and it may really be just an accident, but it is always right to think more about it.
However, when facing the prince's question, Li Hao didn't say much, he just advised: "Master Ji has always been fair and strict. Since he is investigating this matter personally, he will definitely make the prince innocent in the future, so the matter of Tingwei Mansion Your Highness does not need to worry about it.
On the contrary, it is time to go to the palace and speak more for Zicheng in front of His Majesty. Although Zicheng may not necessarily care about the impeachment of those officials, His Highness's presence can always save him some trouble. "
Speaking of which, begging for mercy from this group of people can be regarded as the prince's specialty, but he has never been able to tell when he can beg for mercy and when he cannot beg for mercy.
For example, this time he had to beg for mercy, and if he begged for mercy, Emperor Wen would be happy.
The prince also believed in the ability and character of the old man Ji Zun, so he said: "Okay, then I will go to the palace later to plead for mercy, but should I go to Zicheng's place?"
Li Hao replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will go to Zicheng's house later to see if he needs any help, but most of it won't be needed, otherwise he would have sent the message long ago.
After all, given the brotherly relationship between His Highness and Zicheng, he would not hide anything from His Highness when something happened. "
Feeling that Li Hao's words were reasonable, the prince immediately got up and went to see Emperor Wen. As for Li Hao, he also immediately left the palace and went to Ling Buyi's mansion.
But this time, Li Hao was rejected in front of the Ling Mansion. Liang Qiufei stood guard in front of the mansion and blocked Li Hao, saying that he wanted to thank guests behind closed doors before the matter came to light.
So Li Hao could only go back angrily, but on the carriage back, Li Hao felt more and more that this was not normal.
It is said that Yiling's character is not suspicious. If he is really framed, he will definitely be hit hard. How could he be so quiet? Therefore, Li Hao has reason to believe that he must be planning something secretly. He is even involved in the matter itself. Adding fuel to the flames from behind.
When he returned to his house, Li Hao called Yuan Wo over and asked him to bring up all the information about Ling Buyi that he had found during this period and see for himself whether there was anything wrong in it.
After all, they may have overlooked some things, so it's better to check them in person to make people feel at ease.
Then during this investigation, Li Hao really found out something. He pointed to one of the lists of people who had gone in and out of the Ling Mansion and said: "Is this doctor famous? It is said that there are doctors in the Ling Mansion who were given by the palace. There should be no shortage of them." The right talent."
Yuan Wo replied: "The details of this person are
We had also investigated and found out that he was a doctor from the countryside of Hedong County. He was very good at treating bruises, so we had no doubt that there was something wrong with this person. "
At this time, Li Hao was already sixty-seven sure that this doctor should be Han Wu, the escaped herald of the Huo family army.
And judging from the number of times this person came in and out of the Ling Mansion, it was obvious that Li Hao was in the middle this time, which allowed this guy to temporarily escape Xiao Yuehou's sight.
The question now is, has this guy collected any evidence related to Xiao Yuehou? If he has, Ling Buyi's hands and feet are likely to be involved in today's matter.
"You will know if you have checked. Send people to Hedong quickly and secretly check this person's details one by one to see if he has been in Hedong before.
In addition, let someone trace his current whereabouts and see what he has been busy with recently. "At that moment, Li Hao ordered Yuan Wo.
After receiving the order, Yuan Wo went down to arrange things, while Li Hao was thinking about the next steps.
If Xiao Yuehou is really going to be unlucky this time, should he add fuel to the fire and get rid of the people he wants to deal with?
For example, the third prince who is dormant now, after all, the third prince is still strict with himself.
It is too difficult to open a gap in him alone, so it is better to use other things to fit him in.
It just so happened that Xiao Yuehou himself was related to Tian Shuo, so he took advantage of Ling Buyi's opportunity to attack Xiao Yuehou to bring this matter out.
Xiao Yuehou was bound to be unlucky anyway, so how could the third prince, who had always had a close relationship with Xiao Yuehou and received his strong support, be able to completely escape his involvement.
There is no need to prove whether his evidence is conclusive. As long as there are some specious things, he will not be able to escape the relationship. By then, he will probably not have much to do with the position of prince.
After all, colluding with the remnants of the ruthless Emperor was definitely a taboo in Emperor Wen's heart.
Of course, this may not guarantee stability. After all, Concubine Yue and Ling Buyi were still too important in Emperor Wen's heart.
There was nothing Li Hao could do about Concubine Yue, but Ling Buyi might not be able to use all his strength to separate the two of them.
Since Tian Shuo has already colluded with Xiao Yuehou, it is normal for him to secretly contact Ling Yi and Peng Kun.
If this news was known to Ling Buyi by then, and it was related to Ling Yi, the enemy who killed his father, Ling Buyi would still be able to fully trust the third prince in his heart.
Li Hao didn't think so, because Zi Ling Buyi saw Ling Yi kill Huo Chong with his own eyes, and this incident became a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't get over. It was a deep-seated hatred that he had remembered for more than ten years.
This also caused him to always be impulsive when faced with matters related to Ling Yi, and he was not as carefree as usual.
After determining the general idea, Li Hao began to carefully plan the specific action plan. After all, this matter was too important. Although Li Hao had confidence in his subordinates, he did not want to take advantage of others.
But fortunately, if this matter really needs to be started, it needs to wait until the truth of this complaint is clear, after all, just in case this matter is different from what Li Hao thought.
If Ling Buyi really fell into trouble, then releasing the news early would not necessarily be a good thing, but would instead alert Xiao Yuehou and the others.
At this time when everyone was paying attention, Ji Zun set a time for the trial of this case and wanted to try it in person.
Li Hao was already concerned about this matter, so after Yuan Shen came back, he went over to ask about the progress of this matter in Tingwei's mansion.
As a result, Yuan Shen didn't know anything about this matter, which made Li Hao couldn't help complaining: "What do you, the minister of Tingwei, do for a living? How can the eucalyptus of Tingwei Mansion not know anything?"
After hearing this, Yuan Shen replied: "Who do you think I am? Your Majesty is keeping an eye on this matter, so why should I get involved and cause trouble.
Ling Buyi would just pay it back if nothing happens after the trial. If something really happens, there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not express his anger on others, so it is better to stay away. "
Although Yuan Shen's words were indeed reasonable, Li Hao felt unhappy and replied: "Why, it seems that you don't have much confidence in Ling Buyi. Could it be that you also think that he might do this?"
Yuan Shen refused to admit this. It was not because he was afraid of Ling Buyi, but because he felt that if Emperor Wen found out about this, he might not get any good results.
So although he didn't think Li Hao would really want to harm him, based on his past deeds, it was still very possible for Li Hao to seize the opportunity and trick him.
He quickly explained without giving Li Hao a chance to use the topic: "No, I have never said this. I am willing to believe him, but since others dare to throw dirty water on him, they will naturally be prepared. He wants to I’m afraid it will be a little troublesome to clear the suspicion.”
Seeing Yuan Shen's cautious look, Li Hao knew that there was no chance to take advantage of the situation, so he simply changed the topic. Anyway, there were many ways to trouble Yuan Shen.
"Forget it, since you don't know anything, I won't ask you. But if you can't handle the official business well, how about the private affairs? Now that my second bride is married, you and Cheng When can Shaoshang be finalized?
How about I ask Leng Jun and Ah Yang to help you with your work? After all, you are not young now, so you should not learn from Ling Buyi in this matter. "
When the topic came to this point, it was really hard for Yuan Shen to refute. Indeed, compared to Li Hao's progress, he was indeed much slower.
But no matter what, Yuan Shen would not let the two of them help, because Qu Lengjun would just pay it back, but Wang Jiao had always had conflicts with Cheng Shaoshang.
Don't let Wang Jian do something wrong when you have nothing to do, but you are just on the verge of making a mistake. You will really regret it later.
So I quickly refused and said, "No, I can take care of my own affairs, so I don't need the concubines to worry about it."
Li Hao could roughly guess Yuan Shen's possible thoughts, so he said, "Are you worried that if Ayao meets Cheng Shaoshang in the past, it will have the opposite effect and make her shrink back?"
Yuan Shen didn't say anything after hearing this, obviously acquiescing, so Li Hao came up with another idea: "Actually, I think you are wrong. I don't think Cheng Shaoshang is the kind of person who goes with the wind, and the rain falls smoothly. People of water flow.
On the contrary, you are the kind of person who becomes stronger when encountering difficulties. You would rather die fighting on the road than sit back and wait for death. Otherwise, your marriage would have been done long ago.
So it may not be a bad thing to ask A-Yang to meet Cheng Shaoshang. If it can really stimulate her competitive spirit, she may be more proactive than you. "
"Is that so?" Although Yuan Shen was smart, he had not done much research on the personal affairs of his children, so he was really frightened for a moment.
So Li Hao quickly continued his efforts and instilled in Yuan Shen: "Of course, you carefully recall how you and Cheng Shaoshang got along in the past.
Is there often something that you object to, but she does it very enthusiastically and likes to go against you? "
Yuan Shen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then replied: "It seems to be true, but how do you know so clearly? Didn't you send someone to keep an eye on me?"
Looking at Yuan Shen's vigilant eyes, Li Hao said angrily: "As for me, I sent people to keep an eye on you two getting along, how can I have that free time.
And there’s no need to keep an eye on it. Most little girls have just a few personalities. You can think of them with just a little thought. Do you think I’m so useless to you? "
Li Hao's explanation made Yuan Shen relieved, but he still had no intention of asking Li Hao for help.
Seeing this, Li Hao thought to forget it. He just wanted to have fun anyway, and if it didn't work, it didn't matter, so he said, "If you don't want to, forget it. I'll go do other things."
But before Li Hao got up and walked far away, he was stopped by Yuan Shen and said, "Let them go to Cheng's house, but they must be together."
Obviously Yuan Shen still had some distrust of Wang Yao, so he wanted Qu Lengjun to follow him. After all, Qu Lengjun's character was still worthy of trust.
With her watching, even if Li Hao wanted to make some trouble, he wouldn't make any big fuss.
However, Li Hao didn't pay attention to this, and just said lightly: "Okay, I will tell them two when I get back."
Then he returned to his courtyard, called Wang Jian and Qu Lengjun over, and told them to go to the Cheng Mansion.
thing.
Only then did Wang Jiao realize that Yuan Shen, the man who was admired by half the young girls in the capital, turned out to have a marriage proposal, and it was also the Cheng Shaoshang whom she had always looked down upon.
Immediately he couldn't help but ask: "The Cheng family is just a new military general, and Cheng Shaoshang lacks supervision and education. How can such a person marry into the Yuan family?"
When Qu Lengjun saw Wang Yao talking about his little sister, he immediately said: "Although Mr. Shao Shang did not receive a good education because General Cheng and his wife were fighting abroad in their early years, his temperament is resolute, tenacious, kind and righteous. He is definitely not as good as those in the city." The rumors are so unbearable.
Moreover, this time it is the young businessman that the uncle-in-law has taken the initiative to like. You should always trust the uncle-in-law's vision. "
After hearing this, Wang Jiao would naturally not belittle Cheng Shaoshang again. After all, she had already married into the Yuan family, and it was hard to offend her husband-in-law just for a moment of anger.
Then he said: "My uncle-in-law's vision is certainly not wrong, but I was a little surprised when I suddenly heard the news.
It just so happened that I had some misunderstandings with Shao Shang before, so I went to Cheng's house this time to clarify them all. "
