When the carriage passed by, there was a violent coughing sound from inside the carriage. Li Mingzhu looked back at Li Yi, "What did you and the Tai Tuo say?"
Li Yi shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
Li Mingzhu glanced at the carriage in front again, the sound of coughing gradually faded away, and she continued to look at him with a look that you can believe it or not.
"I swear by the name of a courtier." Li Yi raised four fingers, "I really didn't tell him anything."
The main reason why the Chu family died was not actually the Cui family.
Under normal circumstances, the two cases committed by Chu Ping, according to the previous laws of Jingguo, were nothing more than the superiors killing the inferiors and paying some silver taels. Even Chu Ping himself may not be severely punished. punish.
The real reason lies in Mrs. Chu.
From the inaction at the beginning, or the protection, to the intensification later, Mr. Chu could not turn back, and neither could the Chu family. All of this was caused by the very famous Mr. Chu who cherished his reputation. From the beginning, but also tired of the reputation, the century-old clan has been reduced to such a field.
He once asked the other party the question of whether it was worth it or not. Taifu Chu did not answer, but gave the answer with actions.
But no matter what, this old man has been famous before, and he is still watched by countless people. If you tell him that the King of Shu is not His Majesty's own, he wants Mingzhu to be the queen, and the Tai Tuo has a heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage. Be careful driving the crane, the grievances on him can't be washed away.
The two of them didn't get into the carriage again, and walked back at a leisurely pace.
When he was about to pass through the ancestral hall, two figures walked towards him.
The middle-aged man walking in front raised his head, was slightly stunned for a moment, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness, and I have seen Master Li."
Li Mingzhu looked back at Li Yi, with obvious doubts in his eyes.
"Qin He, Prime Minister Qin's fifth son." Li Yi explained to her, then looked at Fifth Lord Qin, and pointed to his hair with puzzled eyes.
"Oh, this..." The fifth master of the Qin family smiled and said, "Of course I'm old, so I'm not like you young people..."
Li Yi nodded, and then cupped his hands slightly, "Thanks to Prime Minister Qin's dealings with the court, he thanked the old man on my behalf for the recent incident, and I will come to the door to thank him in person some other day."
"My father is only doing what he thinks is right. We can't say anything." The fifth master of the Qin family shook his head and said, "However, I will take what Master Li said."
Li Yi looked at the ancestral hall behind him, and asked again: "Are you also here to worship Miss Shuangshuang?"
Qin Wuye nodded and said: "Although Miss Shuangshuang is gone, her death is meaningful. There are so many people remembering her, and countless people are grateful to her. Her death alone has achieved a full court. Things that even the officials can't do are worthy of worship... "
…
On the way back, Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Is he Qin He, the Qin He that Uncle Wang mentioned?"
"Why, not like?"
She shook her head and said, "I just think that a person who deserves Uncle Wang's evaluation should not be like this."
"Don't look at this sloppy and unkempt fifth master of the Qin family..." Li Yi smiled and said, "This is a real powerful person..."
In the ancestral hall, after the two burned incense in front of the stone tablet, they came to the ancestral hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a statue of a woman the size of a normal person. Below the statue was a spacious table, where people put the things they brought for worship after offering incense outside.
The big man asked mysteriously: "Fifth Master, the person next to Mr. Li just now is the princess?"
"Why, doesn't it look like it?" Qin Wuye asked casually as he put a plate of pastries in the box on the table.
"To be honest, it doesn't look like it." The big man nodded, and when he was wondering why he hadn't noticed it before, he suddenly heard a click in his ear.
He turned his head to look at Fifth Master beside him, and said in surprise: "Fifth Master, where did you get the apple in your hand?"
Qin Wuye casually pointed to the fruit plate that was obviously missing an apple on the table, "There, the taste is not bad, do you want it?"
"This..." The big man looked at him in disbelief, "This is dedicated to Miss Shuangshuang, fifth master, you..."
"Shuangshuang..." Qin Wuye shook his head and said, "She doesn't like apples, it's a waste to keep them."
click.
Another sound.
"Over there, what are you doing!" At this moment, there were still many people in the ancestral hall. Some people looked up and saw this scene, and immediately stood up angrily.
"You even dare to eat something dedicated to Miss Shuangshuang, has your conscience been eaten by a dog!"
"What, who did it!"
"Catch them and bring them to the officer!"
…
The big man took an apple by hand, grabbed the arm of the fifth master of the Qin family, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing in a daze, run!"
A while later, in a certain alley in the capital, Qin Wuye panted heavily, patted a footprint on his body, and asked, "Why, how about this apple?"
The big man took a bite, nodded and said, "It's crispy and sweet, why doesn't Miss Shuang Shuang like it?"
Qin Wuye leaned against the wall, sighed, and said, "Yeah, I don't understand why she doesn't like to eat..."
He was silent for a while, and when the big man finished eating the apple, he said, "Wu Er, how long have you been with me?"
The big man was stunned for a moment, then threw away the apple the next moment, clapped his hands, and said solemnly: "Fifth Master, tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"
"You go follow the young man and see what he's doing these days?"
"I'm the best at keeping track of things like this." The big man patted his chest, "I'll take care of things, fifth master don't worry."
…
"The clue is broken." Li Yi sighed, and said, "Why did it break..."
Liu Yishou shook his head, and said, "Both the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Secret Service Division can't find out. The people behind this case must have great influence in the capital."
Li Yi rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly felt a bit of a headache. He turned his head to look at Her Royal Highness, and said helplessly, "Now the Cui family is the only one left. Otherwise, we should choose another way?"
Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked doubtfully, "What way?"
"I know there is a road that leads directly to the central lake of the School of Mathematical Sciences. If you walk at night, you will never be discovered. Why don't we take advantage of the dark moon and the high wind..."
"Sink the Cui family into the lake?"
"You also think this method is good, it is simple, convenient and trouble-free..."
"Do you want me to help you tie Concubine Cui Gui out of the palace?"
"It would be great if you could help..."
…
Li Yi and her looked at each other, and Liu hurriedly looked out the window with one hand. After a while, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's dark and you can't see the road clearly, let's think about it in the long run."
"If the Cui family could be overthrown so easily, father would not wait until now." Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "Twenty years ago, their power penetrated into every corner of the court, and there is no such thing as a civil war." What kind of bad reputation, although it is not as good as before, it still has a foundation that cannot be underestimated... "
Li Yi sighed: "So I said, it's better to choose another way."
Lao Fang strode in from the outside, handed an envelope into his hand, and said, "Master, there is news from Wu Er."
Li Yi opened the envelope, looked at it, handed it to Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just connected..."
