After arranging these, there is no rush for the next thing, all you have to do is wait.
Liu Hanyan was playing the piano in the yard. While listening, Li Mu peeled off the tangerine that the Queen had just given and put it into her mouth. He turned around and saw Wanwan and Xiaobai watching eagerly, and also fed them a few.
valve.
After the song ended, Liu Hanyan turned around and asked, "How's the matter with Capt. Li?"
Li Mudao: "The imperial court has asked Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple to jointly conduct a re-investigation. Everything is going according to plan."
Liu Hanyan suddenly asked: "She left you just to avenge the family, right?"
This question caught Li Mu off guard.
From the moment Li Qing appeared in Shendu, she never asked Li Mu where he went or what he did every day, nor did she ask him any questions about Li Qing.
But Li Mu knew that she must care in her heart.
If there is anyone else in this world who can make her feel a sense of crisis, it is only Li Qing.
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "She quit the Fu Lu Sect and didn't tell all her friends. She just didn't want to drag down the sect or us."
Liu Hanyan was silent for a while and whispered: "If Capt. Li hadn't left at that time, would it be..."
Li Mu hugged her from behind and said, "What if? We are already husband and wife. I have given you the Yuanyang that I have treasured for twenty years. What are you worried about?"
Liu Hanyan whispered: "I'm worried that after you meet Capt. Li, you won't want me anymore. It's obvious that she was the first one you met and the first one you liked..."
Li Mu suddenly realized that he might have been too busy with Li Qing's affairs in the past few days, thus neglecting her.
Liu Hanyan seems to be strong and very independent, but in fact, the experience of being abandoned by her parents when she was a child made her easily lose her sense of security.
As it happened, Li Qing was the person who made her feel most insecure.
Li Mu felt a little guilty in his heart and hugged her tighter, saying: "What are you thinking about? If I don't want you, where can I find another pure girl who is so young, so beautiful, so versatile, and can be in the hall or in the kitchen?"
With your body, you will always be the eldest wife of the Li family? No matter who enters this family in the future, they will listen to you..."
After being comforted by Li Mu, Liu Hanyan's feeling of worrying about gains and losses in the past few days has disappeared, and he seems to have realized something in his heart. He asked: "Who else will come into the house in the future?"
"I'm just making an analogy..."
"When you were making an analogy? Who were you thinking of?"
Li Mu winked at Xiaobai, who immediately ran over and held Liu Hanyan's hand, saying: "No matter before or in the future, sister Wanwan and I will listen to sister Liu..."
Li Mu took the opportunity to escape and said: "I will go to Lao Zhang's house to ask about the progress of the case..."
Zhang's Mansion is also in Beiyuan? It's not far from Li's Mansion. Li Mu walked out of the house and walked more than a hundred steps to get there.
Within the Zhang Mansion.
"You don't want to think about it either? How old are you? Why don't you find a husband and stay at home all day? When will you be able to get married?"
"Is it okay if I don't get married?"
"How dare you talk back?"
…
Hearing the quarrel coming from the inner courtyard? Zhang Chun looked helpless. At a certain moment, he noticed the footsteps approaching in the inner courtyard, and immediately picked up the broom and started cleaning the yard.
Mrs. Zhang walked out of the inner courtyard. She wanted to find a place to vent her anger. When she saw Zhang Chun cleaning the yard honestly, she felt relieved. She turned back to the inner courtyard and said loudly: "You think I can't hide in the house?"
I told you, open the door..."
As soon as Li Mu walked into Zhang's house, Zhang Chun threw down the broom and said, "You're finally here. If anything happens, let's talk outside..."
Not long after, at a wine shop on the streets of Shendu, Zhang Chun drank several drinks and complained about his disobedient daughter and middle-aged irritable wife, and then said: "You are here to ask about the progress of Li Yi's case, right?"
Li Mu nodded and asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Zhang Chun shook his head and said: "It is easy to prove a person's guilt, but it is harder than going to heaven to prove his innocence. Besides, although the court compromised this time, it was only a superficial compromise. Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple did not make any compromise at all.
It would take too much effort. If those few petty officials who left the Ministry of Personnel were still alive, it would be possible to find a breakthrough from them, but they had all died in the hands of Capt. Li, and just yesterday, only
An old official who had been in the official department for more than ten years was found dead at home, passing away..."
Li Mu picked up the wine glass and slowly twirled it on his fingertips.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? When the imperial court was investigating the old case of Li Yi fourteen years ago, the only person in the official department who witnessed the incident passed away.
I am afraid that even if Li Qing did not kill those people in revenge, they would die unexpectedly due to various reasons in the next few days.
There are too many people who don't want them to find out the truth about the incident that year.
Li Yi's main crime at that time was collaborating with the enemy and treason. People, led by officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, accused him of leaking important secrets of the imperial court to a certain demon country, which caused the enshrining department to suffer heavy losses in the battle with that demon country.
, the entire army was almost wiped out. Because of this case, Li Yi's family was confiscated and his entire family was exterminated. Only one woman escaped because she was not in the capital of God...
The truth of what happened back then is nowhere to be found, and even the most powerful practitioners cannot divine any secrets.
It is too difficult to reverse his case...
Ministry of official affairs.
Chen Jian, the left minister, cupped his hand to a middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Shangshu, even if we ask them to re-examine, they still can't find anything..."
Standing in front of him at this moment is Xiao Yun, the Minister of Civil Affairs. At the same time, he is also the king of Nanyang County and the core of the old party.
More than ten years ago, he was still the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and now he has become the head of the Ministry of Personnel.
He looked at Chen Jian and asked, "Are you sure there is nothing missing?"
Chen Jian smiled and said: "There were quite a few originally, but later they were killed by Li Yi's daughter. Is this like shooting a rock in the foot? I would like to know if she knew this."
What kind of expression would it be if something happened..."
The Minister of Civil Affairs nodded and said: "That's good..."
At Zongzheng Temple, Li Qing lowered his head in self-reproach and said, "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, maybe there would still be a chance..."
Li Mu comforted her and said: "You don't have to blame yourself. Even without you, they wouldn't be able to survive these few days. It's impossible for those people to keep them alive. Don't worry, I'll think of a solution for this matter..."
What Li Mu is most worried about is that Li Qing will feel guilty and blame himself for this.
After comforting her, he walked out of Zongzheng Temple and met Zhou Zhong outside Zongzheng Temple.
Zhou Zhong looked at him indifferently and said, "Give up. If you continue like this, Li Yi's end will be your end."
Li Mu glanced at him, turned and left.
Zhou Zhong asked: "Are you really unwilling to give up?"
Li Mu looked back at him and said in a deep voice: "I am not you, I will never give up on her, ever!"
Zhou Zhong watched Li Mu leave. It wasn't until his back disappeared from sight that a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
From a distance, you can see his figure, slightly stooped, as if he has unloaded something important.
Ziwei Palace.
There were no other major events in the morning today. The case of Li Yi, which had been causing a lot of fuss in the past few days, became the focus of the court discussion.
Regarding this case, although the court has ordered a re-investigation, even the joint efforts of Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple have not been able to find even a single clue.
After all, fourteen years have passed since this case, and almost all the clues have been lost in the long river of time. Finding any new clues is extremely difficult.
In the main hall, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the evidence for Li Yi's case was conclusive back then. Now if we investigate again, it is an exception. We cannot continue to waste the resources of the imperial court because of this case..."
Zhou Chuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also stepped forward and said: "The Fu Lu Sect wants to investigate this case. The imperial court has satisfied them and has given them an explanation. The imperial court has the majesty of the imperial court and cannot be forced by them anymore..."
Officials from the new party and the old party have already spoken. Their wishes represent the wishes of most of the court. If your majesty still insists, it will undermine the dignity of the court, and no ministers in the court will agree.
At this moment, Zhou Zhong, the minister of punishment, also stood up.
Officials in the DPRK and the Central Government already knew in their hearts that the old and new parties were probably uniting to thoroughly characterize Li Yi's case.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou Zhong walked to the middle of the court, took off his official hat, and slowly knelt down.
When the courtiers saw this, they were all stunned.
"Master Zhou, this is..."
"What is he kneeling down for?"
"Why did you even take off your official hat?"
…
While the courtiers were in an uproar, in front of the crowd, King Shou looked blankly at Zhou Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and murmured: "Good guy..."
Zhou Zhong knelt on the ground, put his official hat beside him, touched his head to the ground, and said loudly: "I am guilty!"
