Lihua took several items to look at them in succession and found that they all had traces of rice bran. Sure enough, as the monster said, these items came from the same place.
She was overwhelmed by this pile of treasures before, and then faced Lu Jieyu. She never paid attention to such details, and just thought they were dust.
The monster's eyes are very poisonous, and he doesn't miss even the smallest details, and he can recognize things like rice bran. It's hard to be an emperor.
But here comes the question: "Why do these things come from either rape or theft?"
Can't it be collected by wealthy businessmen? Lihua doesn't understand.
Yuchi Gong smiled and said: "Ordinary people lose so many objects at the same time, and some of them cannot be bought with money. They will search for them with great fanfare, report them to the officials, and offer high rewards. But I have never heard of such news in the past few days, so these objects
It came from a wrong place, and the owner did not dare to tell anyone about it even if it was lost. This is one of them."
Lihua immediately understood what she said before and couldn't help but look at Wu Xue, isn't this a black man taking advantage of others?
This thief cat is quite good at stealing. He is a born thief. How could he teach her? He is obviously very proficient.
It would have been better if she had known she was cheating. After all, this thieving cat came back specially to give it to her.
Wu Xue has an innocent look on her face. She is not picking it up randomly. She has been busy these days just to help her mistress find suitable things.
When Lihua heard the next words, she was surprised and said: "There is another one?"
Her mind turned quickly and she bent down to pick up a pearl bracelet: "Could it be the problem with the beads?"
She had long suspected that the thing above was Dongzhu, but she couldn't be sure since she hadn't seen the real thing.
Dongzhu is a special item for the royal family. Ordinary people have no way to obtain it, let alone wear it easily. Lihua remembers that there is a crime in this regard in the law.
Yuchi Gong nodded: "Well, although it is a low-grade product, it is not obtained by the common people. Because it is a royal thing, some people admire it very much. Even a Dongzhu of this quality is something that is fought for privately." He took Lihua's hand and threw the string of beads back: "Don't look at it, it's dirty."
Lihua was a little speechless. There were still as many evil things about the monster as ever. After watching them for so long, she felt dirty now.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that it seemed that the evildoer really didn't touch these things on his own initiative. She just checked to confirm the rice bran and then followed her to look at it.
This discovery made Lihua feel a little uncomfortable. She remembered that she wanted to take the ball of cloth from the palace maid's mouth in Jinghong Palace, but the monster clearly disliked it, but stopped her from condescending to take it first.
A strange feeling arose in Lihua's heart, and she wanted to say something to quarrel, but the evildoer didn't let go of her hand at all.
Yuchi Gong held her hand in his palm, took out the handkerchief from his arms, and wiped her hands carefully:
"A few years ago, when I was not on the throne, there was a case where someone illegally mined Eastern pearls and withheld tribute in spite of the public disapproval. However, the matter was settled hastily. My father did not let me interfere, and it was not easy for me to interfere." After wiping one hand, he took Lihua's other hand and continued wiping it with focused eyes.
At that time, Lihua couldn't say anything, and her heart was pounding.
The way the monster was wiping her hands seriously at this moment was so beautiful that it made her brain go into chaos.
She tried hard to look away and focus on his words.
This is the first time that the evildoer has told her about the prince's period. Although his tone is flat, he can feel the undercurrent surging in it.
Withholding tribute has always been a serious crime. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is treason.
In history, there was a prince who was deposed. One of the charges was that he was fabricated for withholding tribute. In the end, his own father suspected that he was deposed because of the decentralization of power.
Tributes are a symbol of imperial power, and they are so sensitive that even the prince cannot get his hands on them. The evildoer must be doing it to avoid suspicion.
Looking at it this way, when the evildoer was still a prince, things were not as smooth and carefree as popular imagination.
Lihua thought to herself, yes, there are so many monster brothers, how can everything be smooth sailing? It would be enough for each one of them to stumble.
It is rumored that the evildoer wiped out the families of three would-be father-in-laws. In addition to the guilt of these people themselves, did the evildoer also show the late emperor that he had no intention of forming a clique and seeking power to use the power of the in-laws' family?
Lihua didn't have an answer, but she vaguely heard that a few years ago, the prince oversaw the country and drove away the Xiongnu, and his reputation was resounding throughout the world. This matter is still talked about among the people. At the height of the sun, he suddenly retired from the court until he ascended the throne as emperor.<
/p>
Political battles have always been complicated. In this field, Lihua cannot see through or understand it.
Just when she was thinking about this, Lihua saw that the evildoer was wiping her hands, and naturally wrapped her hands in his big palms and never let go.
Lihua's eyes widened and she suddenly looked up at him.
Wu Xue didn't pay attention to the two people's movements. It was attracted by the string of pearls and plucked them around with its paws, playing with them.
Yuchi Gong wiped Lihua's hand and held it in his hand without looking into Lihua's eyes.
He looked away, cleared his throat, and continued the previous topic seriously: "This string of low-quality Dongzhu may have come from the case of withholding tributes back then. Now it suddenly appeared in Beijing, and the rice bran is new again.
It may have just been transported to Beijing not long ago."
There are so many treasures appearing together, this is not an easy matter.
Yu Chigong's first reaction was that someone wanted to cause trouble in Beijing and was willing to pay such a high price. The motive was not small.
Naturally, he took Lihua's hand and walked out, and told those waiting at the door: "Password to me and tell Hu Feifei to capture the gangster and bring him to justice immediately."
Then he turned around and said: "Wuxue, go ahead and lead the way."
Cases that he could not investigate before could now be investigated. He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to disturb Tai Sui.
The young eunuch on the left prostrates himself and accepts the order: "This slave obeys the order."
Wu Xue dropped the string of east beads and ran out immediately.
Yuchi Gong stopped him: "This group is on guard, so be careful. Wu Xue, I want you and Hu Feifei to arrest them all."
Wu Xue turned around and said "Ouch" to express that she understood, and was about to run out again when another message came from behind: "I will wait until you return to receive your punishment."
Wu Xue suddenly became confused: Meow meow meow?
Its eyes were round and it was madly suspicious of Mao Sheng. It was obviously a meritorious service, so why should it be punished? Did its master make a mistake?
But its master didn't intend to explain to it, so he took the mistress's hand and walked toward the west side hall without looking back.
Wu Xue drooped her ears and looked at the mistress as if asking for help, looking very pitiful.
Lihua couldn't bear to see it, so she helped to speak: "I have taught Wu Xue a lesson, so it will not steal again. Besides, it has done meritorious service, so it should be rewarded rather than punished."
"These are two things and should not be confused. Wu Xue's meritorious service is true, but he relied on his ability to provoke him several times. He did more than he should have done, and he was injured because of his incompetence and deserves punishment."
"It's not an injury, its hair will grow again..."
"Then wait until it grows up before letting it go out."
