Chapter 359
Li Jing looked at Mr. Cheng's haggard appearance with a mocking smile on his lips. He never expected that Mr. Cheng would hand over the evidence to her.
He gestured through the account book, and after seeing the contents inside, a gleam of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He thought that what Cheng Shi had in his hands was enough evidence to overthrow the fifth prince, but after seeing the contents inside, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
What Cheng Shi came into contact with was still too superficial. It could only be said that he would make the fifth prince suffer a bit, and the cold winter would not affect his muscles and bones. What Li Jing wanted was to kill the fifth prince with one blow.
It's no wonder that even after the fifth prince found out that Cheng Shi had been captured by him, he only sent someone over to check on him, but did not follow up.
Li Jing has always wondered why the Fifth Prince knew that Cheng Shi had evidence against him, why he didn't completely eradicate the root cause at the best time to settle the culprit. Now it seems that the Fifth Prince was too confident and knew that These things don't work at all.
Even if the emperor knew that the five princes were obstructing the food escort during the locust plague in Jiangbei, the emperor would be very angry and punish the fifth prince, but when the emperor's anger subsided in the future, the fifth prince would still be fine.
This is not what Li Jing wanted. What he wanted was to uproot the Fifth Prince so that he would never recover. Now it seems that it is too early to be happy.
"it is good."
Li Jing agreed indifferently, and it was considered as a favor to Master Cheng. After all, he was also a small favor. These evidences can also add a bargaining chip to the fifth prince's crime in the future.
Even though it's tiny, it's better than nothing.
Mr. Cheng thanked him again and again, kowtowed a few times in gratitude, and then left.
Li Jing looked at his stumbling back as he left, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
He hooked his fingers towards Xing Chuan, and Xing Chuan came over. After Li Jing gave a few words of advice, Xing Chuan went to make arrangements.
That afternoon, Mr. Cheng received the body that Xing Chuan sent back to Cheng Shi. Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng couldn't help crying when they saw Cheng Shi's death so miserable.
After Mr. Cheng expressed his gratitude, Xingchuan handed over some money to Mr. Cheng.
"Bury your son well."
After he finished speaking, he turned and left. Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng thanked him gratefully, and after watching Xing Chuan leave, they returned to the yard to hug their heads and cry.
Xingchuan returned to the palace and reported to Li Jing.
"My lord, the matter is settled."
Li Jing nodded, "Tell me what happened last night."
Xing Chuan explained the matter from beginning to end in detail, Li Jing sneered, yes, the neighbor who went to report to Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng last night was hired by Xing Chuan Hua Yinzi, Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng Sure enough, people believed it. They deliberately created the illusion that the fifth prince wanted to get rid of Cheng Shi. Sure enough, Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng believed it.
I thought they would take the things left by Cheng Shi to Dali Temple, that way, they would tear off the fifth prince's hypocritical mask without a single soldier.
As a result, he never expected that Mr. Cheng came to Li Jing with the account book.
But that's good too, he has the evidence in his hand, and he can be regarded as holding onto the fifth prince. In the future, as long as he has troubles, he can be used in the account books to clamp him down.
"Okay, you go down."
Li Jing waved his hand, and Xing Chuan left.
Cui Yuexi watched him finish talking, and walked in with a tray. On it was pork ribs and lotus root soup that she had just cooked. This was Li Jing's favorite. She kept it in her heart, and would cook it for him every now and then.
Li Jing took it with distress, and looked at Cui Yuexi with distress in his eyes.
"Let Huanyue and the others do these things in the future."
He carefully looked at Cui Yuexi's hand, reluctantly making her work hard.
Cui Yuexi smiled happily. In her opinion, being able to cook and make clothes for her beloved is a very happy thing. When she thinks of her lover wearing the clothes she made by herself, she is unconsciously happy.
"I'm used to doing it myself and they have their thing too."
Cui Yuexi treats her servants leniently, after all, they have accompanied her through ups and downs, and it is this feeling that is worthy of her pampering them.
Li Jing raised his hand and poked her on the forehead, "You, just let them get used to it."
Cui Yuexi just smiled and said nothing, his people will naturally be pampered.
Li Jing drank two bowls of soup with Cui Yuexi, at this moment, the butler hurried in.
"My lord, the Fifth Prince is affectionate."
The housekeeper looked at Li Jing with a solemn expression, and the latter didn't care about Xiao Xiao.
"My fifth brother, I finally think of my fourth brother."
Li Jing laughed mockingly, then got up to appease Cui Yuexi, and then left.
Cui Yuexi looked at the back of him leaving, her eyes were full of worry, she thought that the fifth prince knew what happened last night, this time it was equivalent to Li Jing putting the shit bowl on his head, although the fifth prince didn't He was wronged, but he would not let Li Jing go easily if he was plotted against.
Cui Yuexi was a little worried, and asked Xing Chuan and Xing Bai to follow Li Jing, and come to inform her whenever there was anything.
The two took orders to leave, Cui Yuexi was chatting with Huanyue and others in the corridor, at this moment, she saw the female guard who was in charge of interrogating Cheng Shi last night walking over with a pale face.
"Qingfeng, are you feeling unwell? Why are you so pale?"
Cui Yuexi was worried about asking. After all, she was someone who had been with her for a while. Seeing her like this, Cui Yuexi was naturally worried.
Qingfeng forced a smile, "Princess, my subordinate is fine." After Qingfeng finished speaking, he stood by the side, dedicated to protecting Cui Yuexi's safety.
Cui Yuexi keenly smelled the smell of blood floating in the air, her eyes circled around several people, Hong Xing looked at her suspiciously and asked.
"Princess, what's the matter, is there something wrong?"
"Which one of you is injured, there is such a bloody smell?" After Cui Yuexi said, the other people looked at each other, and they all saw that they were not each other's expressions in each other's eyes, and finally everyone focused their eyes on Qingfeng.
"Qingfeng, could it be that you were injured when you went out last night?" Cui Yuexi asked, Qingfeng's body froze suddenly, and his face became even more ugly.
"Princess, last night, my subordinate was not doing well. I didn't see that the Fifth Prince's subordinates had sneaked in, so Cheng Shi died. It was all due to my negligence. After finishing the matter last night, my subordinate went to the mortification room to receive the punishment."
Qingfeng said it calmly, as if they did something wrong, and taking the initiative to receive punishment has become a discipline engraved in their bones.
"You are injured, so go back and rest quickly. I don't need your protection here. Who else can come in and fuck me at home?"
Cui Yuexi urged, but Qingfeng was unmoved.
"It's the subordinate's responsibility to protect the princess, not to mention, this little injury is fine."
