Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 488 Sensational
Tongfu Inn, small courtyard kitchen.

The fire in the stove reflected Liu Li's tears crystal clear.She could imagine how dangerous her father's situation was at that time.But he never revealed a little bit in his letters home...

The crackling sound of firewood crackling brought her back from her trance.

"Can you tell me what the secret is?" Liu Li asked softly, wiping away tears.

"I don't know yet." Zhu Zhen sighed, "But judging from Xiong Qitai's reflection, it should be a big secret."

"My father fought with them to the last moment, right?" Liu Li asked again.

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded, briefly told Liu Li what he had learned, and finally said in a deep voice, "I can say responsibly that senior brother died heroically for the country and the people."

"En." Liu Li nodded heavily, wiped her tears with the back of her hand, took a deep breath through her nose, and said, "Take me with you when you handle the case later. Father's enemy is still there, and I will continue to fight for him."

Her gaze was so resolute that Zhu Zhen couldn't refuse.

"Okay." He nodded and said, "Let's avenge Senior Brother together."

"Well, little uncle is the best." Liu Li smiled through tears, and then exclaimed: "Oh, the pot is burnt!"

~~
During the evening meeting, Zhu Zhen really called Liu Li to join him.

"Everyone understands the situation, and I have been thinking about it for a while." He looked at his uncle and Luo Guanzhong, and asked in a deep voice, "Let me tell you what you think."

"Your Highness, please reveal your identity." His uncle said worriedly: "The fact that Xiong Qitai dared to kill the imperial envoy shows that he has lost his mind and there is no one he dare not kill.

"Besides, since Liu Kongna is a traitor, he must have revealed His Highness's identity to him. Now that Ma Jing is missing, he might jump off the wall in a hurry!"

"He jumped a fart!" Zhu Zhen sneered and said: "He is not the only one who knows the identity of the king, but also Zeng Tai. Does he think he can repeat the old trick, just like he did with my elder brother, silently?" Destroy this king? Go ahead and dream!"

"If a son of a thousand pieces of gold can't sit still, it's better to be careful." Hu Quan insisted.

"Having said that, it's really a pity to show the card at this time." Luo Guanzhong pushed up his glasses. As a novelist, he couldn't bear the sudden mechanical descending in the middle of the story... That's a kind of unskilled storytelling Technique, because it destroys the internal logic of the story, is a clumsy plot device that only third-rate novelists will adopt.

Well, it's a bit much to talk about. In short, Teacher Luo hopes that the sixth child can continue to use the current role to finish singing this scene.Of course, he wasn't trying to trick Lao Liu, but was actively making suggestions.

"This scene is not big enough, and the drama conflict is not intense enough. We can use that Liu Kong to make a fuss, push this scene to its climax, and then His Highness will reveal his identity and make a beautiful appearance. Wouldn't the effect be better?"

"Mr. Luo, it's not a good word to appear on the stage." Liu Li reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, really? I really don't know, haha." Luo Guanzhong smiled sarcastically, thinking that it was bad, and he couldn't sneer at the semi-literate in the future.Hastily changed the topic and said:
"Also, if we close the net now, we may never know what the big secret is."

"That's true..." Zhu Zhen nodded. They had already inquired from Bao in the teahouse next door, and learned that Pang Yi, the case officer who was responsible for the big brother, was sent to Jiangxi on his way to work in the mountains at the beginning of the first month of the first lunar month. The bandit has died in the line of duty.

"Besides, it is not reliable to arrest a provincial chief envoy based on the confession of only one person. What's more, there is an imperial envoy Shen Liben, and His Highness can't do whatever he wants... Then Xiong Qitai can say whatever he wants? There is no way to verify his confession. If the confession is retracted when he is sent to the capital in the future, His Highness will be ashamed."

"It makes sense." Lao Liu was finally persuaded, nodded heavily and said: "This king is here waiting for him to come to the door, as long as he sends troops to arrest me, I can naturally put down the rebellion, right?"

"Yes..." Everyone is sweating, His Highness is obsessed with suppressing the rebellion.

"In addition, we still have to try to find that guard." Lao Liu said without much hope: "If we find it, won't things turn around?"

"Well, I'll send someone to look for Bao on Hama Street tomorrow to inquire about the purchase," Hu Quan nodded.

"There's also Second Uncle's concubine...uh, Ah Fang. Second Uncle has been working hard for a few days now, should she help?" the sixth child said again.

"Understood." Hu Quan said with a wry smile, "I'll go over there myself."

~~
In that room, imperial envoys go to the gate.Silk and bamboo are leisurely, lively and fragrant.

Shen Liben was being served by several stunning beauties, enjoying a luxurious dinner while admiring the beauties playing flute.

During the banquet, we laughed and talked about the banquet, playing the flute here, playing the wonderful song there, everything is silent, and the fish come out to listen, it is really like a fairyland on earth.

But the sound of hurried footsteps broke the harmony of this picture scroll, Shen Liben frowned displeased, and after seeing clearly that it was Xiong Qitai who came in, he endured the attack.

"What's the matter, in a panic?"

"My lord, it's too bad. Three of me were arrested by Mr. Zeng Tai." Xiong Qitai said in a low voice.

"Is it an official who was in Cao Shenzheng's house that day?" Shen Liben couldn't understand Xiong Qitai's mood, so he asked slowly.

"Yes, but he has already agreed to let me interrogate. The humble officer took them back, and after interrogating them overnight, he let them go." Xiong Qitai said angrily:

"Who would have imagined that that insidious guy Zeng Tai would actually lure them back to the Procuratorate under the pretext of closing the case and arresting those three people in the signing room.

"What's even more shameless is that he asked them to enter the signing room one by one through the front door and leave through the back door. As a result, the rest of them didn't notice, and didn't even know that the three of them had been arrested!
"It wasn't until the family members of the three of them disappeared in the evening and went to each house to search, only to find that they hadn't come back at all!" Xiong Qitai said furiously: "It's shocking that the magistrate actually kidnapped my chief secretary's imperial order! Make him pay the price!"

"What are you yelling for? You just want him back?" Shen Liben said displeasedly, digging out his ears.

"The next official went to ask for someone right away! But the one surnamed Zeng firmly refused to admit it, insisting that they had already left the Yamen of the Chasi Yamen." Xiong Qitai said depressedly: "I asked Deputy Envoy Feng, the messenger who guards the gate I didn't even see the three of them leave!"

"My lord, please make an order to hand him over, otherwise we will search the yamen!" Xiong Qitai clasped his fists eagerly as he said.

"Do you have anything against those three people? Are you in such a hurry?" Shen Liben was still slow.

"There is someone who knows..." Xiong Qitai said with difficulty.

"Didn't you say that no one knows about it?!" Shen Liben was furious.

"My lord, don't be angry, I have even more outrageous news to report..." Xiong Qitai said and waved his hands, signaling those beauties to back down.
