The Cui family, which had been deserted and quiet for a long time, finally became lively again on the first day of June.
Even compared with the splendor of the Cui family two years ago, the lively scene today is really not enough, but the desolation is temporary, and the promulgation of the edict gave everyone a ray of hope.
In the main hall of the Cui family, everyone exchanged cups and cups, and the host and guests had a good time with smiles on their faces.
Chatting during the dinner, some people looked around, put down their wine glasses, and said in surprise: "Why don't you see Mr. Chen and Mr. Zeng?"
Cui Qingming smiled and said: "Master Zeng is not feeling well, Master Chen has some important matters, but he can't come today."
"Is there anything more important than this?"
"Recently, Mr. Chen seems to be a little abnormal..."
"Master Chen is not the only one. I think Master Zeng is even more abnormal. Today, the two of them..."
…
Cui Qingming raised his hand and pressed it down, and said with a smile: "The two adults are my colleagues, it should be really difficult, let's ignore them for now, today you adults should have a good drink..."
Cui Qingming said so, but the smile on his face was a bit forced, and there was a deep shadow hidden in his eyes, which was not noticed by everyone.
"Lord Qin, is there any news about Nephew Qin..." Cui Qingming didn't want to talk about this matter any more, and someone also diverted the topic in a timely manner.
A trace of anger appeared on Qin Yan's face, and he said: "This rebellious son, I don't know where he went, and he didn't even bring any news to the family..."
"Hey, Mr. Qin, here are all our own people, so you don't have to hide it..."
"Yeah, this is not a serious case. There is no need for my nephew to hide, but it makes things more complicated..."
Qin Yan showed a complex look on his face, "I will tell you all, I really don't know where that Nizi went..."
"Everyone is well aware of this matter, Mr. Qin is wrong..."
Qin Yan shook his head, stopped arguing, turned to look at Cui Qingming, and said, "Your Majesty handed over that case to Li Yi, I'm worried..."
Picking up the wine glass, Cui Qingming smiled nonchalantly, and said, "So what if I hand it over to him, not to mention that we have already dealt with the whole case, even if he finds it out, so what?"
…
One month is neither short nor long, but it is still not enough to investigate a case where no clues can be found through serious channels.
Li Yi doesn't think he is better than Bao Gong. In fact, he is not as good as Liu Yishou in terms of normal investigation. On the surface, Liu Yishou is being investigated by Dali Temple, but he has been collecting evidence secretly. Li Yi himself Nothing to do.
For the past half month, it was nothing more than teaching Miss Liu Er to read, playing with Tsundere Lolita and Yongning, accompanying Ruyi...and sleeping with the little guy, and sitting with Zui Mo Ruoqing from time to time, that's all...
During these days, the case was pending. Mr. Xu had a lot of opinions on him. He had a weird temper and rarely cared about anything, but if he cared about something, he couldn't let it go so easily.
"Ten days, wait another ten days." When Li Yi went out, he assured him again and again that if there was no result within ten days, he would use his own method to solve this matter.
In the Hall of Chenlu, the eldest princess who had just come down to court, hadn't come to change her court clothes in a hurry.
She looked at Li Yi, and after a while, she slowly said, "Don't investigate the case that Father asked you to investigate."
Li Yi didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, waiting for her to explain.
"Liu Yishou has been secretly investigating this case for half a month." Li Mingzhu poured him a cup of tea, sat down and said, "The Cui family, the Qin family, and nearly one-third of the dignitaries in the capital are involved. The Cui family has done so many things, the reason why they are still confident is because if something happens to the Cui family, these people will all be dragged into the water... "
"Too many people are involved in this case. This is an extremely large force. Once they counterattack, it will cause great turmoil, affecting the entire capital and even the country."
Li Yi took a sip of tea and said, "Then don't give them a chance to fight back."
Li Mingzhu shook his head and said: "Impossible, as long as you attack one family, the rest of the people will immediately unite. You alone, even if you add me, can't resist..."
Looking out the window, she said wearily, "This capital is already rotten from the root..."
"It doesn't matter if the root is rotten, as long as you dig out the rotten root, you can't give up..." Li Yi smiled, turned and left without saying anything more.
Li Mingzhu walked out of the door quickly: "We will find a way to deal with this matter, don't act rashly..."
Li Yi waved his hand, "Got it..."
When he walked out of the palace gate and was about to get into the carriage, a voice with a smile came from behind.
"Isn't this the famous Marquis of Li County?" A middle-aged man came out of the palace and asked with a smile, "I heard that His Majesty handed over a serious case to Marquis Li County for a period of one month. Now that we have arrived, I wonder how Li County Houcha is doing?"
Li Yi turned his head, looked at the current Patriarch of the Cui family, smiled, and said, "Soon, Mr. Cui may have to make preparations earlier."
Cui Qingming smiled and said: "You investigate your case, what should I do to prepare?"
When Li Yi got into the carriage and put down the curtain, he reminded again: "Master Cui, when you take a bath next time, you might as well wash your neck more, it's best to wash it clean..."
Cui Qingming was startled for a while, and when the carriage was far away, he came back to his senses, touched his neck, and asked, "What does he mean?"
The servant behind him shook his head, Cui Qingming watched the carriage disappear completely, his expression sank, and he said coldly: "I don't know what is good and what is bad, I want to see how long you can be rampant!"
The Qin family.
Qin Yan looked at the drunk fifth master of the Qin family who walked in from the outside, his gloomy face became even more ugly, and he said angrily: "Look at you, you drink alcohol all day long, you know how people outside talk about you , how do you talk about our Qin family?"
Qin He looked up at him and asked, "Is this not good?"
The anger on Qin Yan's face became even stronger, "What did you look like before, and what do you look like now, don't you know in your heart?"
Qin He sighed, looked up at Qin Yan, and asked, "If I become what I was before, the one who should be worried should be elder brother?"
"you… "
Looking at his receding back, Qin Yan's face was startled, and after a while, it became cloudy and uncertain.
Although every time I see his useless look, I can't help but want to reprimand him, but I feel in my heart that his look is much better than before, at least, he won't let him do it again. Feeling the crisis that the whole Qin family is out of his control...
After a while, I suppressed these thoughts in my heart, looked back, and murmured: "It's been almost a month, where did this rebellious son go!"
"It's been almost a month..." In another courtyard of the Qin family, the fifth master of the Qin family washed his face and all the drunkenness disappeared.
Wu Er stood aside, with a square scarf on the ground, and asked curiously, "Fifth Master, why is it almost a month?"
"The deadline for the Marquis of Li County to investigate the case is coming soon." The fifth master of the Qin family took the scarf, wiped his face, threw the scarf aside, looked at Wu Er and said, "I'm running out of time, take me to see you Li County Marquis."
