The messenger came back soon. The Li family had always cared for this grandson. Even if something happened this time, the grandson was a capable person and there were still many days to come. They knew the ups and downs, so they still did not neglect him.
After reading it, Li Shao felt as if he was falling into an ice cellar. It was clearly not the coldest yet, but he could already feel the cold starting from his feet, so cold that even his teeth were chattering.
He Wenyuan is actually from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
Then it really was a trap set by He Wenyuan and the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
On the surface, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was completely cleared of all the crimes without leaving any trace, and became a victim. This tactic of luring the enemy into a trap was followed by a counter-espionage plan, and the Dingbei Marquis Mansion only sacrificed one person, He Wenyuan.
Even He Wenyuan was just demoted one level, and he may be reinstated in the future.
The one that suffered the disaster was none other than Princess Changying's mansion.
He narrowed his eyes and for a long time forced a sneer out of his throat.
Don't think this matter will end like this. He wants to make the Dingbei Marquis's mansion a mess! Pay him back tenfold!
By now, he had figured out some clues. This matter was probably mostly caused by Wei An's fault. No matter how fast the Wei family acted, it would only take a day and a night. He didn't believe that the Wei family would react so quickly. In the villa that day, there were only two people who could make the decision, Wei Jie and Wei An.
But he knew Wei Jie's character. He was smart and decisive. But he was just ordinary smart. He could calm down so many farmers at once, and he was thoughtful and meticulous in everything. He also had to start planning from that time to lure him out and let the Li family take the letter. This was not something Wei Jie could do.
That's Wei An.
Wei An was a very strange girl. Such a young girl, who had never been known for her talent, could make a stunning debut and overshadow the Zhuo family, becoming famous overnight.
He can talk and laugh freely in front of the emperor and empress, and even take the opportunity to curry favor with them...
If she said she did these things, Li Shao could still believe it to some extent.
A little girl...
Li Shao never took Wei An seriously before, but it was this little girl whom he despised and who he condescended to deal with just to vent his anger for his sister, who had plotted against him and led to his current fate.
This time even he couldn't swallow this anger. He felt like the knife above his head was cutting his flesh.
He Wenyuan...
Others may not know Li Shao's temper, but Xie Liangcheng knows it very well. He stood in a house near the City God Temple, looked up at the tree full of persimmons, and then put his hands behind his back to look at the goldfish in a large blue and white vat under the eaves. After Wei An came out, he asked Wei An: "Why did you deliberately leak the news to him? What's your plan?"
It is a plan to eradicate the problem completely.
Wei An has never been a good person.
In her previous life, Princess Changning often said that she was black from the root.
She refused to admit it at first, but when her hands were covered in blood and she was climbing up step by step on corpses, she didn't care to admit it anymore.
After all, she is not afraid of going to hell, so she will naturally take revenge.
In this life, I originally wanted to change my ways.
But Princess Changning was not her biological mother, and her hands were stained with human blood.
Once this kind of thing starts, it can't be stopped.
Li Gui Niang kept pestering her, and she originally wanted to let her go, and finally let her learn a lesson, but she didn't expect that they would never let her go.
She then began to get annoyed.
The Princess Changying's Mansion is now in a state of collapse, but the same is not true for the Jinling Li Family.
As long as Li Shao, a promising young man, exists, the Jinling Li family cannot completely cut off ties with Princess Changying's Mansion.
But if Li Shao died, the situation might not be resolved - the Prince Consort Li had other children, so how good could their relationship be
When the promising son, the only bond between them, died, they would have worn away their affection on their own without anyone else having to do anything.
What's more, among this family, Li Shao was the most sinister and the one who loved to give advice.
Since he was smart, I just gave him a discount and he never came up with those bad ideas again.
However, she was just killing someone for fun and ruining their reputation. When Li Gui Niang really wanted to chop off her hands, I'm afraid Li Shao would chop off her hands and feet without hesitation to please his sister.
But they all thought wrongly.
People thought Wei An was a civet cat raised for fun, but they didn't know that she was actually a carnivorous fox. She looked pretty, but she was always the most ruthless when it came to biting her prey.
"This time I'm sending He Wenyuan's resume, next time... I'll send him a secret letter." Wei An never hid anything from Xie Liangcheng. He looked up at him without even raising his eyebrows: "Let him go back the way he came."
He was driven away by the emperor and could not return to the capital without his order, but Wei An insisted on bringing him back.
Xie Liangcheng understood, glanced at her, but didn't say anything, just shook his head and sighed: "Don't think too much."
A few days later, another incident of some importance occurred in the capital.
The young master of the Li family who was driven out of the capital and returned to his ancestral home in Nanjing to study, somehow managed to sneak back to the capital. He had already changed the waterway, so he let his ship go back to Nanjing, but he hired another ship and sneaked back to the capital in the opposite direction.
Who knew that he would run into the Jinyiwei group of evil spirits who were going to Dengzhou for business. The Jinyiwei asked him to reveal his identity, but he couldn't, so he asked his men to take action, and he fell into the water when he was not paying attention.
After he fell into the water, his servants revealed their identities in panic, saying that they were servants of Princess Changying's mansion, and the one who fell into the water was Li Shao.
The Jinyiwei were also a little frightened and quickly pulled the man out.
But after all, it had been in the water for too long. Even after being fished out and kept for more than ten days, it still didn't recover. After taking a few doses of medicine, it died.
Because of this, the Li family of Nanjing cried and reported the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei to the emperor, saying that they had always been vicious and must have acted violently on purpose this time.
But the Jinyiwei were not easy to mess with. The deputy commander asked why he secretly returned when he was clearly driven to Jinling. If Li Shao had not refused to reveal his identity at the beginning, there would not have been that conflict, and naturally he would not have fallen into the water.
This sentence reminded Emperor Longqing of Li Shao's crime of disregarding the emperor's order and secretly sending cannon fodder to the capital.
Although the Li family was not punished, the Jinyiwei were not punished either. They turned a blind eye and described the incident as an accident. They only gave some funeral rites to Princess Changying's Mansion and the Li family.
When the news reached the princess's mansion, Princess Changying's condition became even worse. It was said that she vomited blood and was about to die. This time, the palace asked Confucius to come out and treat her.
