When the carriage passed by, there was a violent coughing sound inside the carriage. Li Mingzhu turned back and looked at Li Yi, "What did you say to Taifu?"
Li Yi shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
Li Mingzhu glanced at the carriage in front of her again, her coughing gradually faded away, and she continued to look at him with a look that made you believe it or not.
"I swear on the honor of a sycophant." Li Yi raised four fingers, "I really didn't say anything to him."
The main reason why the Chu family died was not actually the Cui family.
Under normal circumstances, the two cases Chu Ping committed, according to the laws before Jingguo, were nothing more than a superior man killing a low-class man and paying some silver as compensation. Even Chu Ping himself might not be severely punished.
punish.
The real reason lies in Taifu Chu.
From the initial inaction or protection to the subsequent intensification, Taifu Chu could not turn back, and neither could the Chu family. All of this was caused by Taifu Chu who cherished his reputation and had a high reputation. The Chu family was ruined by his reputation.
It took a century for a wealthy family to fall into such a state.
He once asked the other party the question of whether it was worth it or not. Taifu Chu did not answer, but gave the answer with his actions.
But no matter what, this old man was once prominent and is still watched by countless people. If he were told that the King of Shu was not your Majesty's biological son and that he wanted Mingzhu to be the queen, the Taifu would have a sudden heart attack or cerebral hemorrhage.
If he rides a crane carefully, the grievances he has suffered cannot really be washed away.
The two of them did not get on the carriage again and walked back leisurely.
When I was about to walk past the ancestral hall, two figures walked towards me.
The middle-aged man walking in front raised his head, was slightly stunned, and immediately raised his hands and said: "I have met Her Royal Highness, I have met Mr. Li."
Li Mingzhu looked back at Li Yi, with obvious doubts in her eyes.
"Qin He, the fifth son of Prime Minister Qin." Li Yi explained to her, then looked at Qin Fifth Master, pointed at his hair, and showed confusion.
"Oh, this..." The fifth master of the Qin family smiled and said, "I am old, so naturally I am not like you young people..."
Li Yi nodded, and then slightly cupped his hands, "Thanks to Prime Minister Qin for his dealings in the court, I thanked him on my behalf, and I will visit him in person to thank him another day."
"My father is just doing what he thinks is right. We can't say anything." The fifth master of the Qin family shook his head and said, "However, I will bring Mr. Li's words to you."
Li Yi looked at the ancestral hall behind him and asked, "Are you also here to worship girls Shuangshuang?"
Qin Wuye nodded and said: "Although Miss Shuangshuang is no longer here, her death is meaningful. There are so many people who remember her and countless people who are grateful to her. Her death alone has made the whole dynasty successful."
What even the ministers cannot do is worthy of worship..."
…
On the way back, Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "Is he Qin He, the Qin He that Uncle Wang mentioned?"
"Why, it doesn't look like it?"
She shook her head and said, "I just feel that anyone who deserves Uncle Wang's evaluation should never be like this."
"Don't look at this fifth master of the Qin family who is slovenly and unkempt..." Li Yi smiled and said, "This is a truly powerful person..."
In the ancestral hall, after the two people lit incense in front of the stone tablet, they came to the ancestral hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a statue of a normal-sized woman. Below the statue was a spacious platform. After people burned incense outside, they would put the things they brought for worship here.
The big man asked mysteriously: "Fifth Master, the person next to Mr. Li just now is the princess?"
"Why, doesn't it look like it?" Qin Wuye put the plate of pastries in the box on the table and asked casually.
"To be honest, it doesn't look like it." The big man nodded. Just when he was wondering why he hadn't noticed it before, he suddenly heard a click in his ear.
He turned to look at the Fifth Master next to him and said in surprise: "Fifth Master, where did the apple in your hand come from?"
Qin Wuye pointed to the fruit plate on the table that was obviously missing an apple, "It tastes pretty good there, do you want it?"
"This..." The big man looked at him in disbelief, "This was given to Shuangshuang by someone else. Fifth Master, you..."
"Shuangshuang..." Mr. Qin Wu shook his head and said, "She doesn't like eating apples. It would be a waste to keep them."
Click.
Another sound.
"What are you doing over there?" At this moment, there were many people in the ancestral hall. Some people looked up and saw this scene, and immediately stood up angrily.
"You even dare to eat something dedicated to girls Shuangshuang. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"What, who did it!"
"Catch them and bring them to the officials!"
…
The big man took an apple in his hand, grabbed the fifth master of the Qin family's arm, and said hurriedly: "What are you doing standing still? Run!"
A moment later, in an alley in Kyoto, Qin Wuye gasped for air, patted a footprint on his body, and asked: "What, how do you like this apple?"
The big man took a bite and nodded: "It's crispy and sweet. Why don't girls Shuangshuang like it?"
Qin Wuye leaned against the wall, sighed, and said, "Yeah, I can't understand why she doesn't like to eat..."
He was silent for a while, and after the big man finished eating the apple, he said, "Wu Er, how long have you been following me?"
The big man was stunned for a moment, then threw away the apple the next moment, clapped his hands, and said solemnly: "Fifth Master, tell me, what do you want me to do this time?"
"Why don't you go follow the young master and see what he is doing these days?"
"I'm the best at tracking this kind of thing." The big man patted his chest, "Fifth Master can rest assured that I will do the work."
…
"The clue is broken." Li Yi sighed and said, "Why is it broken..."
Liu Yishou shook his head and said: "Neither the Criminal Department nor the Secret Service can find out. The person behind this case must have great power in Kyoto."
Li Yi rubbed his brows and suddenly felt a headache. He turned his head and looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and said helplessly: "The Cui family is the only one left now. Otherwise, should we choose another path?"
Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked doubtfully: "What way?"
"I know there is a road that leads directly to the central lake of the college. You will definitely not be discovered if you walk at night. Why don't we take advantage of the dark moon and high wind..."
"Sink the Cui family into the lake?"
"You also think this method is good, it is simple, convenient and saves trouble..."
"Do you want me to help you kidnap Concubine Cui out of the palace?"
"It would be great if you could help..."
…
Li Yi and her looked at each other, and Liu Yishou hurriedly looked out the window. After a while, Li Yi shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's dark and I can't see the road. Let's think about it long term."
"If the Cui family could be overthrown so easily, my father would not have waited until now." Li Mingzhu shook her head and said: "More than twenty years ago, their power penetrated into every corner of the court, and it was unparalleled among the people.
What kind of bad reputation, although it is no longer what it used to be, it still has a legacy that cannot be underestimated..."
Li Yi sighed: "So I said it would be more convenient to choose another way."
Lao Fang strode in from outside, handed an envelope into his hand, and said, "Uncle, there is news from Wu Er."
Li Yi opened the envelope, looked at it, handed it to Liu Yishou, and said with a smile: "Isn't it already accepted..."
