Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 474 The Shocking Truth

Li Yifu's happiness really surprised Li Qinzai.

Who is the mastermind? Li Qinzai somewhat has a hunch that Li Yifu is one of his suspects, and the possibility is very high.

Li Qinzai found out Liu Xingzhou and Yuan Gongyu. Just when he wanted to continue to investigate, Li Yifu never expected Li Yifu to come to the door and readily admitted.

This operation really caught Li Qinzai by surprise. For a while, Li Qinzai wondered if Li Yifu had lost his mind, or in other words, behind his voluntary confession, there was a bigger conspiracy waiting for him?
Li Yifu's attitude of admitting his mistakes is very sincere, and at the same time, he also maintains the dignity of the county prince.

"Uncle Li County, listen to me, I really have difficulties..." Li Yifu sighed.

Li Qinzai put down the jug, and glanced out of the hall involuntarily.

At this time, a team of knives and axes should be called to ambush him in the corridor. If Li Yifu's explanation doesn't satisfy him, he immediately throws a cup as a sign, and rushes in to chop him into dog meat sauce, which is very appropriate.

It's better to ask another Xiang Zhuang to come in to dance swords, twist his hips, do splits, etc., to frighten him, and let this old bastard think clearly before speaking, how can he give a perfect explanation.

"Tell me, I'll be waiting." Li Qinzai said with a fake smile.

Li Yifu first snatched the silver pot from Li Qinzai's hand, and carefully placed it on the table. He felt that he was a little close to Li Qinzai, so he simply held it in his hand and took two steps back.

"Uncle Li County forgives the crime, and I have no choice but to put my cousin Li Jingye in jail. This is the plan that I set up. This plan started three months ago."

Li Qinzai was thoughtful: "The prisoner couple in Liuzhou were exiled to Qiongnan. You sent people to kill them, arranged the scene of the murder, and then asked the governor of Danzhou to report to Chang'an quickly and detain my cousin. A hat that kills and kills people, three months is almost enough, isn’t it?”

Li Yifu praised: "It's a joy to talk to a smart person. Mr. Li Xianbo has a clever mind, and this old man admires him."

"Now is not the time to praise me, you continue to talk." Li Qinzai said coldly.

Li Yifu said again: "The rumors about the British government were also spread by the old man. Back then, the British government was ordered to conquer Xue Yantuo in the north. The so-called killing and surrendering was nothing. Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the witness of the accompanying people, and all relevant things are recorded. In the pen of the historian..."

"As for robbing money..." Li Yifu hesitated for a while, then quickly glanced at Li Qinzai, and then said: "Li Xianbo, Yinggong robbed...it is true, but the robbed money will be rewarded to the generals, and this matter will also be recorded." Yu Junzhong secretary."

Li Qinzai snorted, and said, "My grandfather fought so hard, what's the matter with spending some money? Besides, isn't it all rewarded to the generals? It shows that my grandfather is a famous general who is impartial and selfless."

Li Yifu hastily echoed: "Yes, I have always admired Duke Ying, and it is a lifetime honor for me to be a colleague in court with Duke Ying..."

Li Qinzai sneered: "He said he was honored, but he turned around and stabbed him without hesitation, Mr. Li, your words are really hard to convince."

Li Yifu sighed: "The old man said, I have difficulties."

Li Qinzai smiled and said, "I'll wait to hear."

Li Yifu said slowly: "My colleagues in the court secretly call the old man a 'Li Mao', because the old man hides a knife in his smile and harms things with softness, so he is called a treacherous sycophant."

Li Yifu suddenly smiled: "Look, I actually know everything, but I can pretend that I don't know anything. The higher the position in the temple, the more you have to pretend to be confused, and the higher you are, the more you can't help yourself."

Li Qinzai said coldly, "You're off topic."

"Well, the cousin was wronged, and the British government was criticized by rumors. Although it came from the old man, the old man is just a pawn."

As he spoke, Li Yifu glanced at Li Qinzai, seeing his calm look, he seemed to have expected it.

Li Yifu couldn't help laughing: "The old man knows that you are very smart, and you are often praised by the emperor as a peerless talent. The old man guesses, do you think the person behind me is the queen?"

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he didn't change his expression until now.

Judging from Li Yifu's words, it seems that the person behind him is not the queen, but someone else who is targeting the British government.

This is very surprising. Li Qinzai really can't think of anyone other than Empress Wu who would be so hostile to him and the British government.

"Who else could there be? Three princes and nine officials in the court, a vassal king, or a powerful family?" Li Qinzai asked.

Li Yifu sighed lightly, and said slowly: "Prince."

Li Qinzai stood up abruptly and stared at him in shock: "His Royal Highness? Are you confused? The prince is only 12 years old this year! A 12-year-old child would set up this trick?"

Li Yifu said coldly: "The crown prince is indeed 12 years old, but the advisers and staff around him are more than 12 years old."

Li Qinzai was silent for a while, before he said, "Why?"

"I have never met the prince and have never had any enmity. Why did the prince target the British government?"

Li Yifu said: "You have not had any grudges with the prince, but among your students there are two princes, two princesses, and many children from powerful families..."

Speaking of this, Li Yifu paused, lowered his voice and said slowly: "One of the princes, King Li Xian, is also a brother of the same father and mother as the prince, the first prince! Tell me, why did the prince target the British government?"

Li Qinzai's body shook, and he sat down slowly, with a wry smile on his face.

Well, he got it all.

Embrace the guilt.

After a long time, Li Qinzai sighed, "But he... is only 12 years old after all."

Li Yifu sneered: "An ordinary child may be just a child at the age of 12, but you must not treat him as a child for a 12-year-old prince. There are advices from the advisers and staff around you..."

"A 12-year-old living such a life every day, do you still think he is an ordinary child?"

Li Qinzai was speechless.

Yes, if a 12-year-old child is soaked in such a big dye vat every day, can he still be regarded as a child?
Li Qinzai frowned and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince thinks I will help Li Xian win the heir?"

Li Yifu didn't answer and asked instead: "If after a few years, the crown prince accidentally took a wrong step, and your student Li Xian was at the moment when his ambitions sprouted, would you help the crown prince or your student?"

Li Qinzai was silent again, there was no need to answer this question.

Since the day he agreed to accept Li Xian as his disciple, Li Qinzai has become his teacher, but he still has a hidden identity, that is, the counselor.

Except for blood relatives, there is no relationship in the world that is more reliable and trustworthy than the teacher-student relationship.

Li Qinzai suddenly felt exhausted, he sighed, and said, "I never had the idea of ​​helping Li Xian win the heir."

Li Yifu nodded: "The old man believes that you are aloof from the world. I observed you a long time ago. But, does His Royal Highness believe it?"
