Compared with the small milk bag, she was favored by seven uncles

"All fathers make mistakes, are you Lu Yunsheng's father?"

"Of course I am!"

"I mean his biological father!"

"I am! I...I'm not...I'm his adoptive father. Everyone knows that he is the son of Prince Qing's mansion, and I'm just his adoptive father!"

When Princess Lianchun asked Lu Zezhong a question, she deliberately played tricks on it.

Lu Zezhong was in a hurry. He wanted to erase the fraud in the examination room, but Princess Lianchun turned the question to Li Yunsheng's identity.

So he accidentally leaked his thoughts!
Princess Lianchun stared at Lu Zezhong, Xiao Suisui handed her a letter paper with three words written on it.

【careless】

"You just said that everyone knows that you are Lu Yunsheng's adoptive father?"

Princess Lianchun asked coldly.

"Of course, Princess Lianchun, you, a princess who has been living abroad for more than ten years, suddenly came back and intervened in court affairs, I don't know what your intention is?

Could it be that you want to learn from Emperor Wu to ascend the throne? "

"Lu Zezhong, you are presumptuous!"

Almost as soon as Lu Zezhong's voice fell, the emperor slammed the imperial case and shouted angrily.

Lu Zezhong suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Damn it, Your Majesty knows that I have no choice but to adopt a child by accident in the spring of 13 years ago.

After waking up from illness, he lost his memory and forgot who he was, so the minister adopted him.

Anyone who has some friendship with the old minister knows about this matter!

Later, he followed the old minister to Yunhang for disaster relief, found out Wu Li's conspiracy, and also remembered his past. Only then did everyone know that he was the orphan of Prince Qing's mansion.

Similarly, it was at that time that the minister knew his true identity! "

Lu Zezhong knelt on the ground, pretending to cry for grievances.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged!

Princess Lianchun wants to put a hat on Weichen's head, and doesn't want to admit that I am an orphan of Prince Qing's mansion, Lu Yunsheng like me! "

Lu Zezhong cried out for injustice, and Liu Yuheng also knelt on the ground and cried out for injustice.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is also wronged!
These years, the old ministers are also conscientious, seeking their own government in their positions, forgetting to eat and sleep all day long, always ignoring public affairs and selfishness, the wife of my family is about to go back to her mother's house to abandon the old ministers.

I didn't expect that the veteran had worked so hard for Dahan, and he would be suspected by others!
The minister is really wronged!

I beg Your Majesty to be the master for the old minister! "

Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng sang together, knelt on the ground and cried loudly, and the whole imperial study room was filled with crying!
Princess Lianchun's face darkened, but she is really good at acting!
"The two adults are like this, it really makes Master Li a joke!"

Ji Youzhi walked in, followed by Li Xu outside!
Li Xu didn't know what happened?
He was doing his business well at the Yamen, but he didn't want Ji Youzhi to come in with two big inner guards and tell him that the emperor had summoned him.

When he saw Ji Youzhi, his heart skipped a beat, wondering what Ji Youzhi had found out.

But after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible. The members of the Li family were always cautious in their affairs, and it was impossible to leave anyone with a clue.

Even if there is an accident, it should happen first on the second side.

If something really happened to the second child, it is impossible for the family not to send him a letter.

Although he has been restless today, he has not received any letters from his family.

This means that everything is safe at home.

Thinking of this, Li Xu felt relieved.

So he asked Ji Youzhi what happened instead?

What was His Majesty the Emperor summoned him for?
Why was he the one who came to deliver the oral order instead of Eunuch Ling?

Ji Youzhi didn't answer, but said that he knew it when he got to the palace, anyway, it's not a bad thing!

When Li Xu heard that it was not a bad thing, he immediately felt relieved.

All the way to the gate of the palace, he didn't see the Li family, so he felt more at ease.

How did Li Xu know that the people in the yamen had already been ordered not to let anyone pass information inside, otherwise it would be a matter of losing their heads.

Li Xu happily followed Ji Youzhi into the palace, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the imperial study, he heard a series of rambling words from Lu Zezhong, and he almost died of fright.

He knew about Ji Youzhi's investigation into the fire and extermination of Prince Qing's mansion, but he didn't expect...

But he has been secretly paying attention to Ji Youzhi for a long time, and he has not seen any action from him.

The whole day is either checking their files or files of the Yamen!
Anyway, no one has said who is the suspect seriously!

It is even more troublesome that no relevant persons involved in the case have been found.

Even the organizer of the year didn't ask about it.

When the emperor once ordered Liu Yuheng to come to Beijing to report on his duties, he had wondered if it was because of the extermination case of Prince Qing's family back then.

Later, when his wife came out of the palace, she said that it was the queen mother who had sent Miss Liu Jia's portrait into the palace because of her wife. The queen mother was so happy when she saw it that she smiled crookedly, and agreed to her wife's recommendation as a guarantee.

The Empress Dowager mentioned that she would ask the emperor to transfer Liu Yuheng back and let Miss Liu's family enter the palace to choose a concubine.

So he dispelled this layer of doubts.

Later, after Liu Yuheng entered Beijing, he also made people stare at Ji Youzhi, but his subordinates always replied that Ji Youzhi had never contacted Liu Yuheng!

Li Xu took a deep breath in his heart.

For a moment, the whole body was numb, and I even forgot whether to step on the left leg or the right leg first when entering the imperial study.

Especially when I saw Lu Zezhong and Liu Yuheng kneeling and trembling in the back, it looked like they were being pricked on the edge of life and death!
As soon as Li Xu came in, Xiao Suisui's gaze was locked on him, not for anything else, because she heard a very special inner message.

【what happened?Why did Lu Shangshu and Master Liu kneel here? 】

【Could it be that what happened back then was exposed】

When Princess Lianchun saw the letter paper Xiao Suisui handed over, her pupils shrank!
Staring at Li Xu who was kneeling to pay his respects, his eyes seemed to be staring at a dead person.

Little Suisui tugged at Princess Lianchun's clothes, and said cautiously, "Auntie, I'm out of ink, can I find someone to grind ink for Suisui?"

"Uncle Eight is grinding, you write obediently."

Ji Youze came over.Immediately squatted down to grind ink for Xiao Suisui, and reached out to take the wastebasket next to Princess Lianchun to the back of the Phoenix chair, and hid behind the wide Phoenix chair to watch Xiao Suisui write everyone's inner messages.

Ji Youzhi also walked over, and showed Ji Youze the results of the interrogation in the morning with a smile. By the way, he communicated with him in a low voice about the investigation results and process of the entire Qing Palace extermination case, and showed him all the files.

After watching it, Ji Youze also had a splash in his heart. It's really amazing. If Xun Yang is to be a counselor, he must be a schemer!

The kind with unparalleled schemes!
"After I came back, I sorted out the news on the dark web. It is said that Concubine Rou is very similar to the dead Princess Qing. They are half-sisters!

Concubine Rou's mother gave birth to Concubine Rou and her husband died. Later, she left her daughter to Kung Fu and remarried to a businessman who was walking. He took his daughter to the door and became the second wife directly.

In the eighth year after the merchant married her, he had a daughter, Princess Qing. "

After receiving this information, Ji Youzhi was dumbfounded.

After a long time, Ji Youze continued to whisper, "It's a coincidence that Lu Zezhong and Concubine Rou also had a relationship when they were young. Concubine Rou knew Lu Zezhong before entering the palace. She was sold to the Lu family since she was a child. Maid, I heard that he once begged the elders in the family to marry him!"

Ji Youzhi opened his mouth wide.

"how so?
Since Lu Zezhong likes Concubine Rou, why would he enter the palace? "

"This requires you to go to the Lu Mansion and ask the old Fengjun of the Lu Mansion!"

Ji Youzhi: "..."

Both of his legs were broken today.

Seeing the disheveled look on his face, Ji Youze couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "I have sent someone to go, I believe there will be an answer soon."

The two brothers were whispering here, although the voice was very low, but Princess Lianchun, who was close, still listened.

She clenched her fist tightly, and the nails were almost embedded in the palm of her hand.

It turned out that the concubine mother had such a past.

She only knew that her concubine mother was a court lady, but she never mentioned her concubine's natal family and her past.

She asked about it before, but the mother concubine said that her natal family members were all dead.

I don't want to mention it.

did not expect.

Over there, the emperor had been staring at Li Xu who was kneeling on the ground for a long time.

If he didn't speak, Li Xu would feel flustered. When he flustered, there would be a lot of mental activities in his heart, so Xiao Suisui wrote several more papers.

【Why does Your Majesty look at me like this?What happened today?]

[It's too terrible, I'm so panicked just kneeling here without knowing anything. 】

【Being stared at by His Majesty is as nervous as being pointed at my heart with a sharp sword! 】

【God, who will tell me what happened? 】

Looking at the messages written by Xiao Suisui, Ji Youze said, "It's getting late, you go to ask questions, and go back to eat early when you're done, I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back."

As soon as Ji Youze said this, Ji Youzhi, who felt sorry for his younger brother, immediately went away.

Xiao Suisui quietly took out two pieces of snacks from her purse.

"Eight Uncle eats, Suisui's snacks and cakes, you will share two pieces!"

Ji Youze: "..." Swallowing, he still ate the pastry.

Next to the emperor's imperial case, Ji Youzhi's voice finally came to mind.

"After investigation, during his official career in Zhongshu Province, Li Xu accepted bribes, bought and sold officials, and cheated in the imperial examination. The evidence has been corroborated. Now the news base of Li's family has been found in Pangan Pharmacy and Li's Gambling Shop. , The Liyuan on Xiping Street was seized, and 54 people including mistresses, actors, and related personnel from the gambling house were arrested.

Li Erye, who was in charge of the general affairs of the Li family, was detained. Li Erye explained all the problems clearly and signed them.

The evidence is also submitted to His Majesty, please Your Majesty to decide! "

Li Xu was dumbfounded, his body trembled, and he muttered, speechless for a long time!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"Li Xu, what else do you have to say?"

The emperor's calm and furious voice sounded above Li Xu's head.

Xiao Suisui's last stroke fell, Ji Youze and Princess Lianchun looked at it together, it said.

【So...you know everything, why did the second child recruit you】

[Does he know that this is a serious crime of quarreling and exterminating the clan?]

"Li Xu, the first number one scholar hand-picked by me after I ascended the throne, I never expected that you would do this for your own selfish desires. You have disappointed me so much."

The emperor was really disappointed at this time.

Because Li Xu was the first number one scholar hand-picked by him after he ascended the throne, he never deliberately suppressed Li Xu's promotion and appointment.

Every promotion and appointment is so logical.

He knew that Li Xu used to specialize, but he didn't expect that he would buy and sell officials, accept bribes, sell court news, and even dare to cheat in the imperial examinations!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

"You don't need to quibble, I have seen all the evidence, and I will convince you to die."

Li Xu knelt on the ground and shivered.

The emperor shouted "Friends"!
"Chen is here!"

"You ask, today I will definitely hear all his crimes from his own mouth!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Ji Youzhi took out several envelopes and opened them in front of Li Xu.

"Master Li, are you familiar with it?"

Li Xu's expression changed when he saw those envelopes.

Then seeing that the letter paper Ji Youzhi pulled out was blank, all her heart retracted into her stomach.

There is nothing on it, it seems that Ji Shenchui has not deciphered the secret above!
"What did Ji Shen catch me? There's nothing on it? You're teasing me!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, listen to it, what's on it?"

Ji Youzhi squatted down and put the letter under Li Xu's nose.

"Do you smell it? What does it smell like?"

Li Xu pretended to smell it, and finally asked with pretended doubts: "Is this... the smell of herbs?"

Ji Youzhi laughed.

"That's right, it smells like herbs. Do you think it's strange, Mr. Li? This is an ordinary piece of letter paper, but it smells like herbs. Do you know why, Mr. Li?"

Hearing this, Li Xu opened his eyes wide to look at Ji Youzhi, and asked deliberately, "Why?"

The corners of Ji Youzhi's mouth curled up.

The old fox is still pretending!

"Lord Li, I don't have much time. Today is a good day. Your Majesty has appointed the top three in Enke. Do you think one or two of them are from your Li family?"

Li Xu shook his head without thinking!

"no!"

Just kidding, taking the imperial examination is not eating white rice, can you do it with a head?

"So sure, it seems that Mr. Li is very self-aware!"

As soon as Ji Youzhi said this, Li Xu instinctively felt something was wrong.

"I usually care about the children of my Li family, so I know their standards. It is quite reluctant to be a Jinshi. How can we talk about the top three?"

"Sure enough, Master Li really cares about his children!
It is precisely because Mr. Li knows that his children are not of a high standard, so he decided to know how to test the questions, and he is in the same boat as Lu Shangshu? "

When Ji Youzhi said this, Li Xu's head buzzed.

He instinctively turned his head and looked at Lu Zezhong!
