Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 574 Innocent
Everyone didn't think anything of it yet, but when Li Jiye and Li Qingnu saw the man's face clearly, their expressions suddenly changed.

The two brows squeezed together, and a "chuan" shape appeared between the eyebrows, and at the same time, his eyes flashed.

This person was the deputy envoy of Liang State whom they had not found before they went to Zhu Xiuyuan's invitation!
Although Deputy Liang's head was full, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and he seemed to have a limp in his calf, his whole appearance was greatly changed.

However, the brothers Li Jiye and Li Qingnu recognized him at first sight!

The reason why the deputy envoy of Liang Guo ended up in such a miserable situation was because Na Yan Dashan was still angry after lighting the string of firecrackers, so he caught him and beat him up to relieve his anger.

The deputy envoy of Liang State colluded with an assassin to assassinate King Qian of Liang State in the street. No matter what, he was a capital offender.

But after all, he was from the Liang Kingdom. If he wanted to kill him, he had to let Li Jiye come.

So while Yan Dashan beat him violently to relieve his hatred, he also paid attention to his hands and feet and never killed him. He looked miserable, but in fact he only suffered some superficial injuries.

"Prince...Princess..."

Liang Guo's deputy envoy had a gray face and messy hair. He was pulled by Yan Dashan and gradually came to the center of the courtyard, where Li Jiye and Zhu Xiuyuan were approaching.

He raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Jiye and Li Qingnu, unable to say anything more.

The movement to resist Yan Dashan's tug also disappeared, like a dead dog.

He was dragged over by Yan Dashan.

He probably also anticipated his next fate, he would inevitably die!

Next to Li Jiye, Zhu Xiuyuan had a faint smile on his face. He raised his head high and looked down at Deputy Ambassador Liang with squinted eyes...

The two masters and servants, Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu, hid behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

Four big eyes appeared on Zhu Xiuyuan's left and right shoulders at the same time. After seeing clearly that the person was the deputy envoy of Liang Guo, Dong Shuzhen's big eyes narrowed and she secretly clenched her fists.

But it seemed that she had just made her father Dong Cheng unhappy, so now she didn't dare to move around and could only gnash her teeth behind Zhu Xiuyuan.

Then he glared at Yan Dashan and blamed him for not putting Deputy Liang Guo on the ground earlier so that she could trample on him...

On the other side, Dong Cheng, Shao Sikou, and hundreds of police officers around them all stared unblinkingly at Yan Dashan and the deputy envoy of Liang State who was dragged by Yan Dashan.

Everyone present is smart. Needless to say, the deputy envoy of the Liang Kingdom appeared here and was beaten like this by Yan Dashan...The result is obvious!

Dong Cheng, in particular, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The boulder pressing on his heart was finally completely removed.

Now that the assassin has been arrested and brought to justice, he accidentally captured the deputy envoy of Liang State here... The person who colluded with the assassin was Liang State's own people. Not to mention what happened to Liang State, at least one thing is certain -

His virtuous son-in-law Zhu Xiuyuan has nothing to do with this case.

And Zhu Xiuyuan was still the victim and was almost stabbed to death at the same time!
Dong Cheng couldn't help but feel proud, as the tension he had felt over the past few days relaxed at this moment.

"My lord! My benefactor!"

When everyone was thinking differently, Na Yan Dashan had already walked up to Li Jiye, dragging the deputy envoy of Liang State like a dead dog, and threw him to the ground with a casual flick.

The deputy envoy of Liang State was lying on the ground, his hair unkempt, his nose bruised and his face swollen, shivering.

Yan Dashan first handed over Li Jiye and Zhu Xiuyuan respectively, and then said to Li Jiye: "Your Majesty, the deputy envoy of your country, lived in the same place with the assassin, and was caught on the spot by his subordinates and Master."

"Now the evidence is conclusive. The person who colluded with the assassins is your deputy envoy! Please, Your Majesty, clear my benefactor's name!"

Yan Dashan spoke loudly, as if his mood had not yet calmed down, so his words sounded very aggressive, with a smell of gunpowder, and a hint of anger towards Li Jiye.

"Dashan, don't be rude, stand down!"

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand, then raised his hand to Li Jiye and said, "Brother Li, Dashan is out of his words, so please bear with me!"

"Brother Zhu, please get up quickly!"

Li Jiye was very excited. He first helped Zhu Xiuyuan up, and then raised his hand to Yan Dashan: "Don't worry Dashan, now that the evidence is conclusive and both the person and the person have been stolen, I will definitely wash away Brother Zhu's unjust injustice!"

"Everyone..."

Li Jiye went to the middle of the yard again, bowed his hands to everyone, and then said loudly: "This thief colluded with assassins and almost stabbed me to death in the street! In fact, I hate this thief more than anyone else in my heart!"

"Everyone has worked hard in the past three days. You are all very tired in order to capture the assassin. Now, not only have you captured the assassin, but you have also uncovered the devil in Liang. I would like to thank you all!"

After Li Jiye finished speaking, he bowed his hands and gave a long salute!
"Your Majesty, please stop being like this..."

Dong Cheng and others were shocked. After all, Li Jiye was the envoy of the Liang State. In the past, it was not an exaggeration to say that the envoy of the Liang State was the local emperor of the Chen State!

The prestige is still there!

Therefore, everyone could not bear Li Jiye's gift.

"In order to thank you all, I have decided to give everyone a big gift to express my feelings. Please don't refuse!" Li Jiye added.

All the detectives and others said they didn't dare.

Their trip was, to put it bluntly, their official business.

Just get your own salary, don't you dare ask for a big gift from King Qian of the Liang Kingdom!

But Li Jiye insisted, and said: "Besides, there is an inner ghost in Liang Guo, and it is not good to hear about it. This king hereby asks everyone, don't spread this matter..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that the great gift sent by King Qian of the Liang Kingdom also meant "hush money".

So everyone declined a little and agreed.

"Waste! Waste! Waste!"

At this time, a cry suddenly sounded in the room, which seemed to be quite heartbreaking.

Everyone was stunned and hurriedly looked inside the house.

I saw the old beggar standing next to the fire pit, holding a piece of barbecue in his hand, stroking it and shouting...

This is?

Everyone was confused. Why was this master barbecuing there?

"That's it, that's it!"

The old beggar shook his head and shouted twice, threw the piece of barbecue into the fire pit, clapped his hands, turned around, walked out of the house, and came to the middle of the yard.

Seeing everyone staring at him, the old beggar stopped and wanted to say something, but at this time he was addicted to alcohol. While holding back his words, the old beggar groped for the huge wine gourd.

As everyone watched, they were all anxious for him, wanting to come over and help him find the wine gourd, and then remove the stopper...

Goo, goo, goo!

Finally, the old beggar took out the wine gourd, took two gulps, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Then he said: "You are busy, you are busy, the old beggar left first, haha, I will be drunk for three days and three nights when I go back this time..."

Before he finished speaking, the old beggar jumped up and disappeared into the night.

Only a whole courtyard of people was left, looking at each other.

……

The news of the assassin's capture spread throughout the capital that night, as if it had wings.

The reactions of various forces in Beijing and China are also different.

But most of them shook their heads and sighed, because once the assassin is caught, nothing will happen to Zhu Xiuyuan!

Their idea of ​​using this to trick Zhu Xiuyuan was completely ruined.

Forbidden City.

Be careful.

Emperor Chen summoned all ministers overnight to discuss the matter.

In that court, Li Jiye cleared Zhu Xiuyuan's injustice.On this basis, Emperor Chen was asked to reward and appease Zhu Xiuyuan.

Chen Huang was overjoyed and immediately agreed to Li Jiye's request for comfort.

And the appeasement reward was determined on the spot: thousands of acres of fertile land, countless gold and silver property, hundreds of slaves...

The reward this time can be described as generous!

Emperor Chen's move made most of the ministers depressed.

Not only did Jiang Chengbo not be defeated this time, he actually benefited greatly in the end.

They almost vomited blood.

After settling the issue of Zhu Xiuyuan's grievance, Li Jiye asked for his resignation to Emperor Chen in the court hall. He planned to return to Liang Kingdom tomorrow.

...In the blink of an eye, the second day has arrived.

The assassination of the Liang State envoy has been settled.

Early in the morning, at the dock outside the city.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, Dong Cheng, Dong Shuyu and others sent Li Jiye and Li Qingnu under the big ship at the dock.

The salutes and other things were all prepared overnight last night and have been loaded onto the ship.

Among them were many specialties of Chen State, as well as gifts sent by Zhu Xiuyuan and others.

Everything is ready, just waiting for Li Jiye and Li Qingnu to board the ship, they can set sail.

On the pier, everyone was saying goodbye.

"Brother Li, I wish you a smooth journey and an early arrival! As for the internal affairs of the Liang Kingdom, I am inconvenient to say more. After you have dealt with everything, Brother Li, you should write a letter to report your safety!" Zhu Xiuyuan cupped his hands.

"With Brother Zhu's good wishes, I will definitely write to Brother Zhu when I arrive in Chang'an!" Li Jiye also handed over.

"Eh!"

Zhu Xiuyuan turned sideways and looked at the river view outside the pier. It was now bright and bright, and the wide river was still covered with a layer of mist.

"Brother Li, we say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other next time..."

"The days are long. I believe that I will be sent as envoy to Chen State soon. However, maybe next time it will be your turn to come to Liang State, Brother Zhu."

Li Jiye was calm, and he looked sideways at the misty river.

At this time, a gentle morning breeze suddenly blew, and the two of them felt refreshed and refreshed.

But in Zhu Xiuyuan's heart, he was not very refreshed and felt a slight sense of loss.

It is true that although Li Jiye is the Qianwang of the Liang Kingdom, he still likes to bother him and always asks some weird questions...

But people are so mean. After more than half a month of getting along with each other, Zhu Xiuyuan has almost adapted to this annoying life.

But now, it's time to be relieved, and he should feel happy.

However, in my heart...

the other side.

Dong Shuzhen, Dong Shuyu, and Li Qingnu, there is no such light-hearted feeling between the three of them.

They held each other's arms, shed tears and said they would cherish each other...

Finally, it was time to go.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Shuzhen, and Dong Shuyu stood on the pier and watched Li Jiye and Li Qingnu go to the big ship.

The backs of the two of them were getting farther and smaller, and there was also some mist on the pier, which affected their sight to a certain extent.

Until their two figures disappeared into the white mist.

After a while, a voice came from the side of the big ship: "Brother Zhu, goodbye!"

Then, there was another female voice: "Senior brother, junior sister, Shuyu, let's play together next time..."

The fog was really heavy this morning. The side of the big ship was almost hidden in the mist, and the scene above was invisible.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others only heard the voices of Li Jiye and Li Qingnu.

Such heavy morning fog is actually not suitable for taking a boat.

However, although Zhu Xiuyuan picked out the assassination of the Liang State envoy, in fact, its influence has become more and more powerful, making people feel more and more frightened.

Last night, Zhu Xiuyuan had discussed this topic with Li Jiye, but Li Jiye looked very sad and did not want to say more about it.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan can roughly guess that the assassination case may involve the internal disputes in the Liang Kingdom——

The fight for the crown prince's position!
In addition, after interrogation last night, we learned from the deputy envoy of the Liang Kingdom that the Tibetan Empire on the southwest plateau was indeed involved in this assassination incident.

In this case, this matter becomes even bigger.

Li Jiye ignored the morning fog and left immediately, which was actually not allowed.

"Brother Li, take care along the way!"

"Sister, remember to write a letter!"

They exchanged a few words through the morning mist. At the same time, the big ship had set sail and gradually moved away, disappearing into the morning mist.

In the end, even the sound couldn't travel that far...

Li Jiye and Li Qingnu have completely left.

Zhu Xiuyuan and the others stood silently on the pier for a while. Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Let's go back too!"

……

……

Time flies, like a white horse passing by.

In the blink of an eye, nine days have passed.

During these days, the Chen Kingdom's court was at peace, like a pool of stagnant water without a single ripple.

However, this is only the case on the surface.

As news from the Liang Kingdom continued to arrive, Emperor Chen and his ministers began to frequently hold court meetings in the Jinshen Hall.

Judging from the news in the past few days, as expected, the situation seems to be getting worse.

Sure enough, Liang Guo became hostile to Dafan.

The two sides have hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at their respective borders. When they confront each other, it seems that with just one trigger, a fierce battle will break out between the armies of the two countries.

Soon, another conclusive news came, saying that the Zhennan King of the Northern Yuan Empire, stationed in Shengzhou, named "Wuchi Buhua", was also making frequent moves.

So far, the dark clouds covering the entire land of China have formed.

It enveloped the three kingdoms of Liang, Dafan, and Beiyuan.

Although now, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Yan State and Chen State.

However, the countries on the land of China have always had an impact on the whole body.

Furthermore, the "Threat Theory of the Yan State" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the Chen State. The Yan State is eyeing it, and the Liang State is struggling to deal with it. The situation of the Chen State is getting worse and worse!
Zhu Xiuyuan naturally attended every court meeting held by Emperor Chen in Jinshen Palace.

Coupled with the letters exchanged between him and Li Jiye during these days, Zhu Xiuyuan felt even more clearly that this land of China might really be in chaos again.
