Chapter 56 Greed
Chu Shiyu asked Yuan Lu to put away Li Yuchuan's waist badge, but felt that it was not appropriate, so he kept holding it in his hand.He locked himself in the study, looking at the testimony that Li Xunchuan dropped over and over again, still not understanding.

Yuan Lu said softly outside: "Your Majesty, please see me on the right."

Chu Shiyu frowned and said, "I don't see you!"

Yuan Lu was silent, and Chu Shiyu realized that it was the right minister who wanted to see him, and threw the confession and waist card together, walked out of the study quickly, and said, "How is the right minister?"

Yuan Lu followed Chu Shiyu behind, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial doctor said that the right minister will be fine if he stays in bed for a few more days."

Chu Shiyu sighed, and when he arrived in the bedroom on the right, he heard a few low coughs. He frowned, went around the screen and walked in. Xu Zheng was supported on the soft pillow, seeing Chu Shiyu busy Said: "Your Majesty..."

Chu Shiyu only stayed in the room with Xu Zheng. He sat by the bed and said, "Your Prime Minister is not feeling well, please lie down and rest."

Xu Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is fine, please worry about your Majesty."

Chu Shiyu licked the corner of his lips and said: "This matter is my negligence, as long as the right minister is fine."

"I've also heard about the court affairs today. Does Your Majesty really believe that the governor is behind the scenes?" Xu Zheng looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you and the governor are good brothers, but now, you treat him like this." , sooner or later it will be centrifuged."

Chu Shiyu bowed his head and said, "Your Prime Minister, I know that I have gone too far this time, and I have not given the governor a chance to explain, but his confession is full of nonsense, and he just pointed his sword at Li Chengru. If I believe it, I won't be able to restrain all the ministers, so I can only put Chi Yue in prison. Fu Sisi is the new jailer, and she doesn't dare to plot against Chi Yue, I will find out. "

Xu Zheng covered his lips and coughed, Chu Shiyu hurriedly helped him, Xu Zheng said: "Your Majesty... the governor doesn't know what your majesty means, your majesty, let Jiang Rulan go, go to the prison, Jiang Rulan belongs to your majesty, the governor has seen, will understand..."

Chu Shiyu handed the water to Xu Zheng, and said, "I've made a note, Prime Minister, come, drink some water."

Xu Zheng grabbed Chu Shiyu's hand and said, "Your Majesty...too many people have been involved in this matter. Your Majesty must listen to all directions and be cautious."

Chu Shiyu nodded again and again: "I know, the right minister can rest assured."

Yan Chengxuan was playing with the jade tassels around his waist, and looked behind him from time to time. When he saw Zhuo Ran walking slowly, he raised his hand and shook it. Seeing this, Liu Yulin turned his head and smiled at Zhuo Ran, saying, "Xiaqiu is really He is a celebrity, and there are people waiting for him wherever he goes.”

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Let's go back for Jijiu first, Xiaqiu will arrive later."

Yan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows, and said loudly, "I'm in a good mood."

Zhuo Ran walked towards him and said, "Second Young Master's tricks have drawn He Xiyao into his camp."

Yan Chengxuan frowned again when he heard the words, and said, "He Xiyao? Heh, he's not mine."

Zhuo Ran thought for a while, and said inexplicably, "Then he made a knife just now, does Second Young Master really not know?"

Yan Chengxuan sighed, and said: "If you are right, you will be helped if you are wronged. Li Xunchuan has done a lot of crimes on weekdays, so it is only human to come and trample him at this time. Never mind, anyway, Li Xunchuan is now in prison."

"Second Young Master thinks this matter is over now?" Zhuo Ran said.

Yan Chengxuan said, "What do you mean?"

Zhuo Ran smiled slightly, and said: "The centipede is dead but not stiff. Does the Second Young Master know how insidious and cunning Li Yanchuan is? If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue him now, do you still have to wait for him to come out of the imperial prison to trouble us? Li Yanchuan must have known about the incident this time, who is going to deal with him, and if we follow the clues, we will be exposed."

"But he's already in prison now." Yan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "That place is not under our control, so what can we do?"

Zhuo Ran stepped on the leaves on the ground and said: "Let's not say that the prison has nothing to do with us. Now that Li Yanchuan has been hanged, the imperial army is a headless chicken. Who knows where they will touch them. Besides, the second young master, this You haven't figured out the six major cities outside Gaodu, so how can you be so careless at this moment."

Yan Chengxuan didn't dare to be distracted, Zhuo Ran's thinking was too fast, and he couldn't understand what she meant when he was stunned, Yan Chengxuan followed her closely, and said: "But in these six cities, apart from He Xiyao, Wu Xiuting and Yang Huan, a few People, basically no one stays in Gaodu, we can only pull these people over little by little, but this is by no means easy."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "Second Young Master Yan, don't belittle yourself. This time He Xiyao successfully kicked Li Yanchuan down by stepping on Second Young Master Yan with Wang Jitong. You have to ask him to appreciate your kindness."

Yan Chengxuan frowned, suddenly realized: "It makes sense."

"In addition, Er Shao and Liu Jijiu should have more contacts." Zhuo Ran said: "After all, the Imperial College is related to the election of officials. One more way means one more chance, isn't it?"

Yan Chengxuan looked at her and said, "Liu Yulin treats you well on weekdays, why, are you willing to plot against your boss?"

Zhuo Ran nodded, sneered and said nothing.

Yan Chengxuan nodded and said, "But it's about studying, so you don't need to look for me. I'll let Yan Shu meet Liu Yulin later."

Fu Sisi personally found a slightly cleaner cell and sent Li Xunchuan into it.As Chu Shiyu said, she really didn't dare to neglect Li Yanchuan. These matters were handed over to the court. Fu Sisi didn't need to take care of too many things. She put the things on the table and said, "I've wronged the governor, it's shady here It's damp, I'll bring another quilt to the governor."

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "The jailer is really polite. How can I be treated like this when I am locked up here?"

The place Fu Sisi was looking for was at the innermost part of the prison, and the guard was only the jailer in the corridor, so she was relieved enough, she looked at the rushes on the ground, and said: "The humble official will investigate the matter with the governor, of course I know that the governor is wrong. will do these things, and the innocent are always innocent.”

Li Xunchuan sighed and said, "Don't touch my guards."

Fu Sisi said: "Don't worry, governor, His Majesty only asks them to stay in the mansion. Except for Vice General Gu, who can go to the school grounds to watch over the imperial army, His Majesty has not explicitly prohibited them."

Li Xunchuan nodded upon hearing this, and said, "Thank you, Prisoner Fu."

Fu Sisi smiled, and said: "Governor, you're being polite. I will step down from the humble position first. If you have any orders, just call Xiao Fugui. He's in the porch."

Li Xunchuan looked at the table, the candle started to flicker, he stared at the flame and nodded, Fu Sisi withdrew.

Luo Ling came back from outside and whispered in Fu Sisi's ear, "My lord, the Heavenly Master is here."

Fu Sisi squeezed the smile from the corner of her eyes, and said: "Understood. You go get the quilt and send it to the governor, and then go about your own business, there is no need to follow."

Luo Ling nodded and said, "Yes."

Tian Wuruo and Fu Sisi entered the wing room, Tian Wuruo was relieved to see that she was fine, he sighed deeply, and said, "I was scared to death, I thought you would be investigated like the governor."

Fu Sisi straightened his skirt and said, "I'm just a petty official anyway, and I won't be able to touch me when things happen, so you don't have to worry."

Tian Wuruo nodded and said: "The governor is in the prison, you have to be careful in everything, there are people who want the governor's order."

Fu Si thought for a while, and said, "Ah Cheng, I still feel that something is wrong. I checked with the governor, and I didn't see anything wrong with the governor at all. He won't have anything to do with Liuli, and he won't indulge his subordinates." There are people who do these things, so I think someone must have framed it, and they have evidence that what they say is true."

Tian Wuruo understood that she was talking about He Xiyao, he took Fu Sisi's hand and sat down, and said: "He Xiyao is a boy from a poor family who climbed up all the way, he said that he saw the governor and Liuli with his own eyes, so he used his usual If you work hard and fulfill your duties, His Majesty will believe what he says, and He Xiyao said this because he knows that His Majesty believes him."

"You mean that He Xiyao was bribed?" Fu Sisi frowned, and said, "He was promoted by the left minister, how could he do that?"

Tian Wuruo smiled, and said: "He Xiyao is really a man of the wind, I understand it."

Fu Sisi sighed quietly, and said: "These people's hearts are too complicated. I really don't understand why they have to be like this. Isn't it better to live in peace? Besides, the matter of the right minister is over, so they will be married again. The matter of Li Chengru has been revealed."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Li Chengru for a long time." Tian Wuruo thought about it for a while, and said, "He didn't come to the sacrificial banquet that day, and he didn't come to the morning yesterday. What is this man doing?"

Fu Sisi frowned and said, "I always feel that there is something wrong with Li Chengru, but I don't know where the problem is."

Tian Wuruo said: "I will pay attention to this person in the near future, and you too, pay attention to the movement of the imperial prison. Learn to be smart."

Fu Sisi frowned and let out a "hum".

Tian Wuruo nodded between her eyebrows and said: "Okay, okay, things will get more complicated once we return to Gaodu, and we won't see each other for a few days, you have to be good, I will find you when I have time."

Fu Sisi hugged him and said: "You are also in the palace, His Majesty's thoughts are changeable and difficult to guess, these things are too messy so you don't want to interfere."

Tianwu hugged her tightly, buried her forehead in Fu Sisi's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "I must take you out alone when I find a chance, it's always sneaky..."

Fu Sisi smiled and said: "There will always be a chance. Stay a little longer, and I will talk to you."

Tian Wuruo nodded.

***
He Xiyao plunged into Li Chengru's yard, and he couldn't bear it any longer. Li Chengru, an old man, doesn't mean anything, and his wife and children haven't come back yet.

Li Chengru was still at Yushitai, and when he heard the people under him say that He Xiyao had come, he was not in a hurry, and just sat there, waiting for He Xiyao to rush into the room with a face full of anger.

Li Chengru knocked on the teacup and said, "What's wrong, Mr. He is in such a hurry?"

He Xiyao widened his eyes and said, "Where's my wife and children?"

Li Chengru blinked his eyes. There was no one around. He walked up to He Xiyao and said, "Didn't I say that I will return them to you after the thing is done?"

"Li Yuchuan is already in prison, what else do you want?" He Xiyao saw dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he said with a trembling voice, "You won't, you don't want to..."

Li Chengru raised his eyebrows and said, "You guessed right, I just want Li Yanchuan to die."

He Xiyao took two steps back and said, "You must be crazy! Li Chengru, who is Li Yanchuan? He is the champion of Beili, the governor of the imperial army, and your Majesty's good brother. Do you think you can kill him?"

"That's why I need your help!" Li Chengru turned to him and said, "Master He, you must be reasonable in doing things. If you promised me that things will come true, you must do it. Otherwise, I will take care of their life and death." It's gone."

"You!" He Xiyao raised his eyes and said, "Then...then at least let me meet them first..."

Li Chengru gave a "tsk", patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I said as long as you finish the matter, I will return them to you."

He Xiyao staggered. He looked at Li Chengru and was speechless for a long time.

Li Chengru waved his sleeves and said, "You are a smart person, you can think of a way."
