After Zi Nu left in a hurry, Li Qinzai and Song Sen slowly walked out from the bushes not far from the backyard.
Staring in the direction where Zi Nu left, Li Qinzai looked thoughtful.
Song Sen walked into the bedroom without saying a word. After checking for a long time, he came out, walked up to Li Qinzai and whispered: "Uncle Li, she didn't move the pile of papers."
Li Qinzai hummed.
Song Sen hesitated for a moment and said: "If this woman really has other intentions, the three-eyed gun of our Tang Dynasty is the most attractive thing. No matter whether she is sent by Tubo or Tuyuhun, we should not turn a blind eye.
"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "Maybe she found that today is not a good time to steal the drawings."
"Uncle Li County, I have sent people to keep an eye on her secretly in the past few days. I found that she has never even left the governor's house. In addition to practicing dancing every day, she cooks soup. She gets along with other dancers very naturally. It seems that she has never left the governor's house.
There is nothing suspicious. Did Mr. Li make a mistake?"
Li Qinzai looked at him with hurt eyes: "You don't believe me? Would you rather believe an outsider than me?"
"Uh..." Song Sen's eyelids twitched.
Why do you speak the lines of this bloody triangle of sadomasochism so fluently?
"Of course I believe you. The dancer named Zi Nu will send people to keep an eye on her until she shows her flaws."
"We also sent people to keep an eye on Guanyi. That's the key point. The two missions will definitely cause trouble."
"Don't worry, Uncle Li. Half of the staff in Guanyi have been transferred to Baiqisi. We are keeping an eye on them every day."

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace.
Li Jingheng, son of King Li Daozong of Jiangxia, stood outside the palace gate and lingered for a long time, hesitating.
Yesterday, two horses entered the capital. One of them carried a letter from Princess Honghua and delivered it to Li Jingheng's house. The letter was filled with heart-wrenching words and full of tears. The whole letter was about how the emperor's envoy Li Qinzai bullied, looted, and acted tyrannically in Liangzhou City.
Tuyuhun Khan and his queen were bullied so much that they dared not speak out. They thought that they were princesses of the Tang Dynasty, but they were bullied by the little county magistrate when they were today's sisters. In the dead of night, the couple thought of their bad luck, so they hugged each other.
I have a headache and can't stop crying.
The entire complaint was made miserably. In short, the emperor's envoy Li Qinzai committed a heinous crime in Liangzhou, which was so outrageous that the officials and people of Liangzhou and his good neighbor Tuyuhun were bullied by him.
Not only did he send troops to plunder and massacre the Tuyuhun tribe many times, he also scolded and lectured her, a princess of the Tang Dynasty, at every turn, showing her arrogance and arrogance.
Li Jingheng was the eldest son of the late King Li Daozong of Jiangxia. Speaking of Li Daozong, he was a big shot. He and Li Shimin were cousins, serious royal family members, and were given the title of King of Jiangxia. Later, he was implicated in the rebellion of Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang, and was
Chujue was exiled and died on the road.
Li Daozong was quite upright when he was alive. When he was involved in Fang Yiai's rebellion, it was purely because Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang had a grudge against him and took the opportunity to take revenge.
After the death of Changsun Wuji, Empress Wu was registered as the queen. In recent years, Empress Wu gradually stabilized her position. There were rumors in the court that Li Daozong's title was to be restored. As Li Daozong's eldest son, the restored title would naturally be given to Li Jingheng
On the body.
Therefore, the family business of the King of Jiangxia has been gradually recovering in the past two years. As long as the children of the family do not make any big mistakes, the family business can basically be revived.
So at this moment, Li Jingheng stood in front of the palace gate and was hesitant. He was hesitating whether to speak for Princess Honghua and meet Li Zhi to impeach Li Qinzai.
Princess Honghua is the daughter of Li Shimin. Before she was sent out for marriage, she had a deep relationship with the King of Jiangxia. They were all clansmen and they often played together when they were young.
Li Jingheng and Princess Honghua had been reading and reading together since childhood. Princess Honghua was older than Li Jingheng. Before their marriage, this sister often took him around Chang'an. The relationship between sister and brother was deep.
When Li Daozong was involved in the rebellion, Princess Honghua, who was far away in Tuyuhun, also went to Chang'an to defend Li Daozong and plead for mercy.
These are all feelings, and feelings should come and go. So when Princess Honghua was wronged, Li Jingheng could not pretend to turn a blind eye.
After standing at the palace gate for a long time, Li Jingheng finally gritted his teeth and decided to enter the palace.
When the eunuch led Li Jingheng into the Anren Hall, Li Zhi was reading the memorials in the hall. At this moment, he frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Jingheng paid his respects, and Li Zhi came back to his senses. He smiled at Li Jingheng and said, "My cousin hasn't come to see me for a long time. It's unusual today."
Li Jingheng lowered his head and said: "I am ashamed to see the face of heaven when I am punishing you."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. The court has already explained what happened back then. Your father has been wronged. When Zhaoxue sees the light of day again, I will return your family's title to you."
Li Jingheng's eyes turned red, and he knelt down and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of my late father. I do not ask for reinstatement. I only hope that Your Majesty will know about my father's injustice. My wish is enough."
Li Zhi lowered his eyebrows and sighed. Since he came to the throne, he has done many things against his will in order to compete with the Guanlong Group. When he dealt with Li Daozong, didn't Li Zhi know that Li Daozong was unjust? He even knew the truth of the matter better than Li Daozong.
However, in order to stabilize Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi still expelled Li Daozong and exiled him, because this is bloody politics, and politics must have a price and abandonment.
Now Changsun Wuji has finally fallen, but Li Daozong could not wait for the day to rehabilitate Zhaoxue. The power of the Chaozhong Guanlong Group still exists. Even if the title of King Jiangxia is restored, Li Zhi will still have to make plans.
In terms of blood relationship, Li Zhi and Li Jingheng can be considered cousins. Despite all the grievances and grudges over the years, the relationship between these cousins has grown a lot.
After the two chatted for a while, Li Jingheng revealed the reason for entering the palace today.
According to Princess Honghua's letter, Li Jingheng listed Li Qinzai's crimes in Liangzhou City one by one.
Li Zhi listened patiently at first, but as a result, Li Jingheng spoke more and more, his words became more and more sharp, and Li Zhi's expression also changed.
His eyes gradually became colder, but he still let Li Jingheng finish speaking calmly.
Of course, Li Jingheng was not a fool. As he spoke, he observed Li Zhi's face. Seeing that his eyes were getting colder, Li Jingheng's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.
Obviously, the emperor did not like to hear what he said today.
For a person who is still waiting for the imperial court to restore his title and treatment, Li Jingheng should not come at all today.
So Li Jingheng, who had already experienced most of Li Qinzai's crimes, suddenly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, I am just telling your Majesty what I heard from hearsay. Please don't mind it."
Li Zhi's expression finally softened a little, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Jing Heng, do you know which clan member you are today to come to lobby me?"
Li Jingheng said in surprise: "There are other clan members today..."
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Yes, they are all here to persuade me to change the envoys, and they are all counting Li Qinzai's crimes. Haha, Li Qinzai, who is far away in the world, actually worked with so many clan members in Chang'an City to participate in the impeachment, which is considered a good thing.
What an honor.”
