reborn son

Chapter 355
After all, the emperor didn't do anything wrong, so King Qing and the third princess were responsible for the reception work, but King Qing was the main one, because everyone had the impression that men had the final say, and the seventh princess was just here to make soy sauce at best.

If the emperor knew that the seventh princess was also a spy boss, he probably wouldn't think so, and wouldn't let the third princess act as a receptionist.

After the court meeting ended, King Qing was very happy. It was not easy to win King Huai. Duke Zhen was about to start a fight with Duke Jing. He wondered in his heart whether Duke Zhen might vote for him.

It can only be said that King Qing was thinking too much, and none of Duke Zhen's disciples would vote, he was only loyal to the emperor.

The first time King Qing left the palace was to recruit his staff to discuss the reception work. This job was hard-won, so it couldn't be messed up, and he had to show his strength.

Zhen Guogong also went back to the mansion for dinner. Since Li Dongyang returned, Zhen Guogong would go home for dinner as long as he had time, and seized every opportunity to collude with his son.

At the dining table, Li Dongyang took a piece of chicken and delivered it to Lao Zhen Guo Gong's bowl.

Duke Zhen looked at him and put his job bowl in front of Li Dongyang, which meant very clearly, you can figure it out.

Hehe, Li Dongyang sent a mocking look, still took a piece of braised pork, and asked: "Is there any good show in court today?"

"Is it possible not?" Duke Zhen asked back, swallowed the meat in one gulp, took a few gulps from the soup bowl, and then continued: "Mr. Jingguo wanted King Huai to be the receptionist, but I sabotaged it."

"Even if you don't destroy the emperor, you will still do it. The relationship between King Huai and Duke Jing is so good that the emperor is not at ease." Li Dongyang categorically stated that he had never been optimistic about King Huai.

Zhen Guo agreed with this point of view, but instead of arguing with Li Dongyang, he asked, "How do you think they will react when they take it up?"

"Either rebel as quickly as possible, or assassinate you." Li Dongyang raised his soup bowl and took two sips, then said leisurely: "We can lure them to Laiyang."

"What's the matter with Laiyang?" Duke Zhen didn't understand, isn't the matter of Laiyang resolved? How could he bring it up?

"Laiyang is very knowledgeable. Jinyi has stayed in the Little Prince's Mansion in Laiyang County for many years. There must be secrets there, but they haven't been found yet, and the opponent's forces have been lurking all the time. It's better to let Lord Jingguo and the others go to find out."

After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he continued to eat. He already had an idea in his mind. Duke Zhen scratched his head. Is it interesting to keep half of what you said?Obviously he is Lao Tzu, but this bastard does things behind his back.

The old Duke of Zhen didn't say a word, he was thinking about the meaning of Li Dongyang's words while eating. The strength of the eldest son caught the attention of the old Duke Jinguo.

The old boy will definitely not give the eldest son a chance to grow up, so the possibility of encountering assassination is really high, and then poisoning.

At present, the spies in Duke Zhen's mansion have been cleaned up, and it's not easy to poison him. The old Duke Zhen is stroking his beard and smiling, thinking about beating up the old Duke Jinguo, so that he can't kill him.

After the meal, Duke Zhen went to work again, and Li Dongyang returned to the study of Mingxinyuan. Mo Zhu went to the door and wanted to come in to serve him, but Li Dongyang stopped him, which made Mo Zhu very sad.

Li Dongyang didn't care what Mo Zhu was thinking, but picked up Meng Kexin's case file and studied it again, intending to understand the case file thoroughly.

Zhang Sanniang came in to offer tea and snacks, Li Dongyang raised his hand and pinched Zhang Sanniang, smelling the fragrance in his hand and smiling a bit obscenely, Mo Zhu standing at the door tasted even better.

"Master, why are you looking at this file again, haven't you read it many times?" Zhang Sanniang leaned on Li Dongyang's shoulder, and whispered the orchid fragrance in Li Dongyang's ear.

Li Dongyang shook his body, the chicken skin was blown out, it seemed that the wind in his ears was really deadly.

"Xiao Niangpi, what do you know? After reading the words and books of a sage a hundred times, the meaning comes out. Although this son is not a sage, if he reads the case files a few times, he might be able to find the difference."

Li Dongyang flipped through the contents of the case files while talking, and soon saw the copy from Laiyang, which clearly stated that there was indeed something wrong with Jin Yi, and the owner of the cloth shop also disappeared.

Li Dongyang focused on the description about the cloth shop, and his finger landed on the description about the well platform, which was two feet above the ground and was rough in workmanship.

Tapping the table with his index finger, Li Dongyang suddenly looked at Zhang Sanniang and asked, "Is the well platform in ordinary people's homes built by ourselves or by others?"

"It's hard to say. If it's a rich family, it's natural to hire someone to build it. If it's a poor family with no money, it's just to move a few stones and build it there, not necessarily build it."

When Zhang Sanniang said this, her eyes also fell on the position where Li Dongyang's finger was pointing, and her eyes rolled quickly.

"Does the merchant build the well platform by himself or by someone else?" Li Dongyang asked again.

Zhang Sanniang didn't speak, she gave Li Dongyang a coquettish look first, and then said: "Master, you are embarrassing Nubei, Nubei's family has never been a businessman, and they have never heard of such things."

Oh, Li Dongyang nodded slightly, instead of grasping this topic to continue to ask, but staring at the case files and thinking, Hu Zhong is a member of a mysterious organization, and it is said that he will not be short of money, so there is a problem with this well platform.

If it is not so rough to hire someone, it will be even more problematic. Why would a person who is not short of money and not know how to build a well platform do it himself?

"Is there something hidden in this well?" Li Dongyang muttered to himself, put away the file, and called out: "Jia Lin come in."

"Master, what are your orders?" Jia Lin was waiting outside, and immediately walked into the study after hearing the call.

"Take a few people to the backyard of Hu's Cloth Store in Laiyang County, and smash the well platform in the backyard for me to see if there are any secrets in it." Li Dongyang did it when he thought of it, and immediately issued the task.

Jia Lin took the order to leave, Li Dongyang leaned on the chair with a meaningful smile, Zhang Sanniang worked hard on the massage, and Mo Zhu had already left the door, saying that he was helping Jia Lin prepare the horses.

"Okay, you go down." Li Dongyang felt comfortable for a while, then waved Zhang Sanniang away, picked up the case file and continued to read it, apparently intending to read it hundreds of times.

Zhang Sanniang led the order, and the study fell into silence, occasionally wanting to make the sound of paper turning.

Tomorrow is the Zheng Guo envoy's entry into the city. Longcheng is very busy. The guards on the street are vigorously waving their brooms. The streets are not clean enough and they need to be swept again. This is the order of Prince Qing, so dare not carry it out.

The post house is also busy cleaning up and down, tidy up the room, replace all the window paper with new ones, and check the roof for any leaks.

If the envoys came in and found the rain was leaking, they would be humiliated. If they were really thrown abroad, the envoys would definitely laugh at the fact that the Long Yuan Kingdom was too poor, and even the post house was broken.
