The situation was just like when they went to court this morning, but the person left behind had changed.
After Hongli left, Hongshi stood quietly aside without saying anything, quietly breathing the air with a hint of stench. He knew that it was better not to speak at this time than to speak. Tu Lichen wanted to ask
I would naturally ask him when I was there, otherwise I wouldn’t have left him alone.
Sure enough, not long after, Tu Lichen said: "Your Majesty, I recognize that the two heads are Ping'er and Hongying. Can you kill them to silence them?"
Hongshi was shocked. Tulichen actually believed Hongli's words. What could he do? Damn it, Tulichen was not a little person like Ping'er. He was a veteran of two dynasties and held a high position.
If you kill him like this, you will not be able to escape the investigation, and everything you have worked so hard for will be ruined; but if you don't kill him and let him tell Huang Ama about this, you will lose everything.
Chips!
Just when he was panicking and not knowing what to do, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body. No, if Tu Lichen really believed in Hongli, he would not let Hongli leave and leave him here alone. This is completely unreasonable.
, it is very possible that... he is testing himself.
The more Hongshi thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility, especially when he saw the way Turichen looked at him. His eyes were not filled with disgust when he first saw him, but rather filled with doubt.
Thinking of this, Hongshi felt relieved and said with aggrieved face: "Sir, I really have never done this. What should I say before you will believe it?"
Hongshi's guess was correct. Tu Lichen was just testing him, wanting to see how Hongshi would react. Now that he saw Hongshi crying aggrieved, he couldn't help but mutter, did he really not kill Ping'er and Hongying?
But what's the explanation for those two heads?
As soon as this thought passed through his mind, he heard Hong Shi say: "Sir, you have helped me so much, how could I do something unkind and unjust to you? I can swear that Ping'er and Hongying
I really left the capital in good condition, and I definitely did not embarrass them, let alone kill anyone."
"What about the two heads that Prince Bao brought? Also, how did Prince Bao know that what Hongying said was untrue? No one knows about this except you, me and Hongying." Listen.
When Detu Lichen asked, Hongshi sighed heavily and said, "Sir, Hongli is just like his mother.
They are all cunning people by nature. After I returned to Beijing from Henan and was put in the important position of Emperor Ama, he always disliked me and felt that I was blocking his way. He wanted to get rid of me quickly, so he went to the mass graves to pick up two
It is not unusual for someone to frame me with a human head. As for Hongli, will he know what Hongying said?
It's not true. Alas, it's my fault. I was careless when talking to him a few days ago and let him take the opportunity to cause trouble." Seeing that Tu Lichen still looked suspicious, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright.
There is one thing that I dare not hide from my lord. The reason why I came here at this time is indeed not a coincidence.
.Since I leaked the news a few days ago, I have been worried that Hongli will secretly cause trouble, so I have people keep an eye on him. But just now someone came to report that Hongli came to your house. I was worried, so I came over to take a look.
, I never expected that I would actually see such a thing, Hongli is really too despicable."
After listening to Hongshi's words, Tulichen was silent for a long time before saying: "You really didn't kill anyone?"
"You still don't believe it." Hongshi shook his head, showing a tired look, "That's all, if you believe in Hongli, it's up to you. In short, I am clear in my heart. I will say this and take my leave!"
Turichen did not call Hongshi and allowed him to walk out of the yard. After a long time, he sighed and called his servants to help him to the study. After the servants polished it, he wrote a memorial and wrote it on the third chapter.
On the morning of the second day, he handed it over to Yinzhen.
Both Hongshi and Hongli became excited when they saw the coupons he handed back and forth. Especially Hongshi, until he left yesterday, he couldn't try to find out Tu Lichen's true attitude.
It was unlike him to believe in Hongli, but it was also unlike him to believe in himself. For this reason, he never closed his eyes all night long.
While the two of them were waiting nervously, Yinzhen opened the brochure. When he saw the contents of the brochure, his eyebrows suddenly raised and he raised his eyes and said, "You want to become an official?"
To become an official? Both Hongshi and Hongli were startled. Why was there such a letter? Shouldn't it be...
On that side, after hearing what Yinzhen said, Tu Lichen lowered his head and said: "To inform the emperor, I am old, my eyesight is dim, and my memory is getting worse day by day. I am not qualified for the errands entrusted by the emperor. Moreover, I have been away from home for a long time, so I am not very good at it."
I miss my hometown very much, and I really want to go back to my hometown to take care of myself in old age. I also hope that the Emperor will take care of my old age and grant my request."
Until Hongshi left, Tulichen didn't know which person he should believe, and he was even less sure whether those were the heads of Ping'er and Hongying. Unable to make a decision, he finally made a decision after much deliberation.
The decision to return home from work.
In fact, privately, he believed in Hongli more, because Hongshi did have many suspicious things; but on the other hand, he did not believe that Hongshi, whom he had always valued, would do such a cruel thing as murder and silence, and if this happened
It's true, he indirectly killed two innocent people.
After listening to what he said, Yinzhen said: "Why is it so sudden? I have never heard you mention it before."
"I wanted to become an official last year, but too many things happened last year, so I have been struggling until now. Now that my energy is declining, I am really not able to cope with the errands. I hope the emperor will be considerate."
Yinzhen nodded and said, "In that case, I agree to this matter." After that, he said to Sixi: "Allocate two thousand taels of silver from the inner treasury and send it to Tufu."
Hearing this, Tu Lichen quickly knelt down and declined, saying, "Old minister, I am too ashamed to accept it."
Yinzhen raised his hand and said: "I have seen what you have done for the Qing Dynasty in the past few decades. Now that you are going back to your hometown, it is not too much for me to give you two thousand taels of silver for travel expenses." No.
When Turichen declined again, he already said: "Okay, this matter is settled."
Hearing this, Turichen had no choice but to thank him and retreat. After he could go to court, Hongshi was the first to walk up to Turichen and said with concern: "Sir, do you really want to return to your hometown after serving as an official?"
Tu Lichen nodded and said: "Yes, I have made up my mind. Please don't try to persuade Prince Ding."
Hongshi sighed slightly and said: "My lord's departure is really a great loss for the imperial court. When is my lord ready to leave, I will see you off then."
"That's all for the past few days. Your Majesty, don't bother me. There is no banquet in the world that never ends, gathering and separation is a normal thing." At this point, he suddenly sighed and said, "I have a message for you.
Your Majesty, I wonder if your Majesty would be interested in hearing this."
