Chapter 1044: No such person found
Xu Jin's heart skipped a beat and asked, "How do you say this?"
Li Mu explained: "I and my old acquaintance Li Bingcai are actually fellow townsmen, and they are childhood friends from the same village. In their early years, they worked together in business together. However, after the business grew bigger and bigger, they had conflicts with each other. As soon as we all decided to break up and do their own things. Later, I went south to Guangzhou Prefecture, and the two families cut off contact. It has not been seen for ten years."
Xu Jin was not surprised to hear this. This phenomenon was normal. In his previous life, he had seen many examples of partnership entrepreneurship. In the early stages of entrepreneurship, the partners were still very united. Once they started making money, conflicts appeared one after another. After all, the interests were at the end of the day. In the face of interests, no matter how strong the friendship was, it would become vulnerable. Even if the childhood friend who had a good relationship in the past could turn against each other, it would be a matter of time before. It would be a matter of time before.
Li Mu and Li Bingcai at least had a good time to get apart. Everyone politely divided the money and did their own things. However, Li Mu suffered losses because he was responsible for sailing in the past, while Li Bingcai was responsible for contacting the source of goods and buyers, which is the so-called salesperson.
So when the two broke up, Li Mu realized that he had lost a lot because his connections were in Li Bingcai's hands. He had no source of goods or buyers, so he couldn't play with it. On the other hand, Li Bingcai had his connections, and even if he broke up, he still had a good time.
Li Mu had no choice but to come to the door with a shameless face to ask for some resources in his past relationship, but when it comes to his own interests, he has no favors to talk about his own father, let alone a competitor, so Li Bingcai refused without hesitation and said some sarcastic words.
In this way, the former childhood friend finally turned against him. Li Mu began to go to business with a shameless face and establish his own connections. However, Li Bingcai came out to interfere, slapping and doing a lot of stumbling things.
Li Mu was angry, bastard, just forget it if you don’t give up on your brothers, but you still do anything bad. True Tama lacks great virtue and smoke!
The angry Li Mu casually copied the kitchen knife and went to ask for an explanation. If it weren't for being stopped, it would have been bloody. After the beating, the conflict between the two families became even deeper. In a fit of anger, Li Mu sold his property and land, and went south to Guangzhou Prefecture with all his savings to start a business. Since then, the two families have never had any contact with each other.
At this time, Li Mu continued: "Although I haven't contacted Li Bingcai for ten years, I still know him very well. I just asked about it and was 80% sure that Li Bingcai was the one who was Li Bingcai. But the blame is that Li Bingcai does not have a son named Li Chun at all!"
Xu Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Can it be a change of name?"
Li Mu smiled dryly and said, "The name can be changed, but Li Bingcai's two sons have already started a family and have a family, and they are over 20 years old. Even if they divorce their wives, they are not qualified to run for the prince-consort. Unless they are concealing their age, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."
"Is it not allowed to give birth to a son later?" Miko Orishinobu behind suddenly interrupted.
Li Mu smiled and said without a smile: "Miss Miko was joking. When I left, Li Bingcai had only two sons. Even if he was born again later, the oldest was only ten years old. Even if he had not grown up with ten years old, he would not have grown up all the children. How could he run for the prince-consort?"
Orishinomiko's face was a little embarrassed, and she glared at Li Mu in anger, shut her mouth and stopped talking!
Xu Jin's brows were twisted into the character "chuan". Could it be that Li Bingcai deliberately recognized a son to cheat his marriage in order to win the favor of the dragon and the phoenix? Well, this is not impossible. According to the true records of historical books, the poor Princess of the Ming Dynasty did encounter several cheating marriages.
For example, Jiajing's sister Princess Yongchun was said to have been cheated of marriage and eventually married a bald man. The bald man handled the matter and bribed the ministers and eunuchs responsible for the marriage selection. He passed the hurricane and entered the final election. In the end, the empress dowager and the emperor were attracted by the empress dowager. Because he was wearing a hat at the time, neither the empress dowager nor the emperor actually found out that this guy was bald.
It was not until the cave-room flower candle that Princess Yongchun was shocked to realize that her prince-consort was actually a bald man, and the bare Mediterranean above her head was so dazzling that she could not even tie her hair up.
Being fooled, being fooled!
Princess Yongchun wanted to cry but the rice was already cooked. This bald man was already his husband. He could not cut him off with one knife and then become a widow himself? Well, it would be better for a bald man than to be a widow. In the end, Princess Yongchun could only accept his fate, knocked off his front teeth and swallowed it into her stomach.
Xu Jin naturally did not want Princess Yongfu to be cheated of marriage. Even if she decided to send someone to Cixi County, Ningbo Prefecture to confirm, it was only a few hundred miles away, and she could get back and forth in one day by riding a fast horse, and the investigation would take at most two or three days.
Mr. Li immediately volunteered to act as a guide, so that would be better. So Xu Jin sent Pi Shiyi and Xie Sanliang to take action. Mr. Li went to Ningbo Prefecture to confirm the identity of the prince-consort.
At that moment, Xie Sanqian, Pi Shiyi and Li Yuanwai rode a fast horse and left Hangzhou City and rushed towards Cixi, Ningbo Prefecture.
The reason why Mr. Li is so active is that he should be a credit for finding out this matter, and Mr. Li feels that his chance to take revenge on Li Bingcai has come. Hehe, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He was forced to leave Zhejiang. If he hadn't had two tricks, he would have starved to death on the streets of Guangzhou. Now he doesn't get the chance to punish him twice, and he would be sorry for the suffering he suffered back then.
Mr. Li took Xie Sanliang and Pi Shiyi excitedly to Ningbo Prefecture. Xu Jin did not stop in Hangzhou. He had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, so he set off early the next morning to leave Hangzhou and headed north while rushing to the end. After all, a large army of thousands of people, even if everyone rides a horse, the speed cannot be faster than a single horse, because this involves coordination issues, and more people will definitely slow down.
Sure enough, five days later, when Xu Jin arrived at Nanjing's prince close to him, Xie Sanqian, Pi Shiyi and Li Yuanwai caught up with him. The latter was as excited as if he had chicken blood. As soon as he met, he reported to Xu Jin: "Mr. Xu, it's amazing, it's amazing. Li Bingcai, this dog evil spirit, took the courage of the bear heart and leopard, and actually cheated on the princess' head."
Xu Jin hurriedly asked the reason, and Li Mu told him everything he had found.
It turned out that Li Mu returned to Cixi County, Ningbo, and did not need to deliberately inquire to confirm that his young man Li Bingcai was the emperor's "in-law". After all, such a major event had been spread in the local area, and the mission sent by the Ministry of Rites had just left Li Bingcai's house.
Li Mu found a familiar fellow villager and found out that Li Bingcai claimed to the public that Li Chun was his lost son in his early years. Because he was weak and sick, he was worried that he could not support him, so he gave it to a Taoist priest You Fang. Now that his son has grown up and returned home.
After hearing Li Mu's retelling, Xu Jin couldn't help but frown and said, "Since that's the case, how can Mr. Li decide that Li Bingcai cheated on his marriage?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "The problem is here. Li Bingcai did have a son who was almost useless not long after he was born. He asked someone to send him to a Taoist temple in Xiangshan County for foster care, but that person was a mediocre person. Li Bingcai's son still couldn't survive after being sent to the Taoist temple and died in less than a month. Not many people know about this, but I happen to be one of them."
Xu Jin's face was slightly dark. Since Li Bingcai's son had long died, how did Li Chun come from? What was the purpose of cheating the princess? Is it for wealth? Or was there another intention?
A strong sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in Xu Jin's heart, and his intuition told him that he had to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and that he had to arrive before Princess Yongfu got married, otherwise he would regret it.
