Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 127 The person who knows the current affairs is Junjie
"Weichen, thank you Queen Mother! Weichen, thank you Queen Mother!" Liu Xiaochun immediately reacted, and hurriedly kowtowed a few times to express his gratitude.

Yuan Che frowned and agreed, "That's fine, the Empress Mother can rest assured, and Supervisor Liu can also be exempted from punishment."

Liu Xiaochun retreated profusely in sweat, and Sheng Shaoqing grabbed Yuan Che and taught him a lesson before it was over.

The exhausted Sheng Shaoqing fell asleep, and Lu Qingfeng rushed to Fengchun full of lawsuits.

Mrs. Cui had just found out what he said, and he was so dizzy that he only understood one sentence: He should be responsible for his previous actions.

What did he do before?
Why can't he understand what Miss Cui is saying?
If Aning, who came in a hurry, interrupted Cui's questioning, he might not be able to escape for a while.

Lu Qingfeng, who returned after stepping on the moon, conveyed the Queen Mother's order to Xia Yuhuai, and Xia Yuhuai just waved his hand to let Lu Qingfeng go to rest first, while he sat in his original position and spoke to the letter paper and medicine pot with only a few words on the table. Stayed all night.

The next day, Xia Yuhuai sent someone to invite the Tianshi envoy from the Tiancai Festival to come over to the house for a talk.

As soon as the envoy in a black robe with a red ribbon appeared in the front yard, it caused quite a commotion in the county office.

"Isn't he the one who was kicked out by Lord Li before? Why did Lord Xia invite him back the moment he arrived?"

"Could it be that Lord Xia has also converted to the disciple of the Stone God?"

The yamen servants gradually gathered together, and the yamen servant who was sweeping the floor couldn't stand it anymore, and kept waving the broom in his hand and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it!"

All of a sudden, the courtyard was filled with dust.

"You! Lift your feet!"

"And you!"

The rest of the people immediately turned back, "Li Da, you just need to sweep your land well, what do we do?!"

"You all gather here, how do you want me to sweep the floor properly?"

"Tch", I don't know who chuckled contemptuously, "When Mr. Li was here, you could barely be regarded as having the same family name as others. Now that Mr. Li is gone, I don't know who you are still here to blame. .”

"You!", Li Da opened his big cloudy eyes and wanted to argue a few words with those who mocked him, but after thinking about it, he gave up and continued to sweep his floor on the other side.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, the man became even more reluctant.

He stepped on Da Li's broom and said provocatively, "Da Li, let me ask you, what did you do the night your lord was assassinated?"

"Don't say that you went to relieve your stomach after eating badly that day."

"I asked several brothers, you were not in the county office at all that night, and it was not your rotation that day, where did you go?!"

Li Da only sneered, looking at the man with a sharper gaze, but still refused to make a sound.

The people nearby were also attracted attention, and they were not curious why Master Xia invited the Tianshi envoy, they only cared about the dispute in the courtyard.

"Okay! I have long suspected that those assassins came here. How did they know the layout of the county government office, and how did they directly touch Mr. Li's bedroom? By the time we heard the news, it was already too late. Out of a traitor like you!"

Li Da raised his head and stared coldly into the eyes of the person who questioned him, and said sonorously, "Hu Xun, if you have evidence, you have to expose me in front of Mr. Xia, why do you have to jump here?"

"You! Don't you dare to think that I am?"

"Brothers, you can testify for me!"

Hu Xun turned his head to look at the people who had helped before, but those people shrank their necks and refused to answer.

"You cowards!"

When talking about Li Da's eccentricity behind his back, they are not bad for them, but when they are asked to come forward, one by one hides farther than the other!

"I'm going to find Lord Xia now!"

Those few people saw that Hu Xun didn't seem to be lying, so they quickly stopped his footsteps and persuaded, "Brother Hu, wait!"

"Look at your donkey temper! You must have drunk too much last night!"

Those people pulled Hu Xun into a corner and kept persuading, "Why are you in such a hurry?!"

"Don't you see how arrogant he is?"

One of them whispered in Hu Xun's ear, "Have you forgotten how weird Li Da is? Don't you be afraid if you still provoke him like this?"

Hu Xun immediately became anxious, "I'm afraid of him? What am I afraid of?"

That person really couldn't reason with him, so he had to raise Xia Yuhuai, "What's more, Mr. Xia is seeing guests, how can he have time to meddle in such trivial matters!"

"Hmph! What ghost guest did you see?"

"I think this Master Xia is also a coward who can't be more cowardly, but in just two days, I forgot why Master Li died, and was so anxious to please that bastard!"

Those people hurriedly covered Hu Xun's mouth to prevent him from talking nonsense, "What are you talking nonsense about?!"

Hu Xun was so angry that his eyes widened and he said, "Master Li's bones are not cold yet, have you forgotten how he treated you before?! You have forgotten such bloody enmity?!"

Those people waved their hands again and again, "How is that possible!"

"Could it be that people are leaving tea to cool off? Now that Master Xia is trying to please the Tiancaihui, you are going to change course and vote for that evil society?!"

Those people said in unison, "That's even more impossible!"

"Count your acquaintances."

Hu Xun pushed away the people who stood in front of him, walked in front of Li Da and suppressed his voice and said angrily, "In the past, Master Li saw that you both belonged to the surname Li, and your ancestors may have relatives, so that's why he treated you so favorably. , but when the accident happened that night, we were all there to rescue, only you, only you! The whereabouts are unknown, and I slipped back from nowhere the next day. Now I have no evidence to prove that you are involved in this matter, but You better hope I don't catch you."

Hu Xun paused, and said bitterly, "If I find out that you have something to do with the murder of your lord, I will kill you!"

After speaking, Hu Xun left angrily.

"What are you all doing here?"

Lu Qingfeng, who had been listening halfway in the corner, suddenly came out from the darkness and asked the crowd, but his eyes were focused on Li Da.

Li Da ignored Hu Xun and just swept his own land.

Seeing that something was wrong, everyone would flee if they were charged with a crime.

Lu Qingfeng had just received Xia Yuhuai's order to come to the county government office to look for the servant surnamed Li.

Yesterday, the old farmer Li Shisan took Li Xiaobao's purse and was about to sneak away. As soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Lu Qingfeng who had been hiding in the crowd. Daisa Yazi ran away.

Lu Qingfeng was concerned about Xia Yuhuai's safety, so he didn't go after Xia Yuhuai again, but the money bag was not good, so he left it where it was, so he had to put it away for safekeeping temporarily.

This morning, after a little inquiring, he found out that the yamen servant with the surname Li who lives in Tiancai Town and has two sons is Li Da. He heard from the yamen servant who lived across the street from him that Li Da has a weird and withdrawn personality. He went back and forth, so he moved to the most remote woodshed in the county government office to live alone.

It happened to be his turn to sweep the courtyard today, and he should be in the front yard at this moment, so he took advantage of the opportunity to find this place, but he didn't expect to hear this good half show.

"You are Da Li?"

Li Da turned his head in response, bowed and saluted, "Returning to the adults, the villain is right. I don't know why the adults are looking for the villain?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Li Dahe's completely different quiet appearance just now, and it seems that Taoists really have two faces.

"It's nothing, I just came to you to inquire about the assassination of Mr. Li before."

Li Da's complexion suddenly turned cold, and he returned to normal in an instant. Lu Qingfeng still thought that he had not rested all night and his eyes were blurred. This Li Da's face change is really faster than many people.

Li Da frowned and said, "Did your lord hear some rumors?"

Lu Qingfeng didn't comment, just asked, "Do you still remember what happened that night?"

Li Da shook his head, "The villain ate badly that night and squatted in the hut for a long time. When he came back, the yamen was already in chaos. The villain was assigned to put out the fire in the outer courtyard, so what happened in the inner courtyard?" , the villain has no idea."

Lu Qingfeng pointed to the direction where Hu Xun left and said, "Then why did he say that you were related to Master Li's murder?"

"Responding to my lord, since lord Li took good care of the villain before, Hu Hu Xun felt resentful."

"Later, the villain was supposed to be on duty on the night of the adult's assassination, but the villain was delayed for a long time because of a bad stomach, which made it impossible for everyone to rush. Master Li was assassinated and died. The villain is indeed responsible, but there are three urgencies for the villain. I really can't control it."

Lu Qingfeng felt a little strange, "I heard you said Master Li took good care of you, but how do I see your reaction to Master Li's murder being mediocre?"

Li Da wryly smiled and said, "People who eat whole grains will always have a day of birth, old age, sickness and death, not to mention that the villain is already at this age, and the matter of life and death has been regarded quite lightly. Although Master Li said that his death was tragic, in other words , Mr. Li is now in the bliss early, to enjoy the blessing of the immortal."

Lu Qingfeng was quite shocked by Li Da's remarks, but he heard Li Da continue, "To tell you the truth, my lord has already prepared a coffin at home, and I just wait for the day when I die, so I can go west as soon as possible to get rid of this worldly troubles."

Before Lu Qingfeng came, he knew that Li Da was weird, but he didn't expect to see the real person, and then he realized what others said was true.

How can ordinary people be so indifferent to their own life and death? !
Li Da lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the money bag hanging around Lu Qingfeng's waist, his expression tightened suddenly, and he murmured, "My lord, this money bag"

Thinking of Xia Yuhuai's advice, Lu Qingfeng took off the purse and said with a smile, "Yesterday I went out with Mrs. Xia for a stroll, and I picked this up on the road. It seems that it is made of high-quality materials, and the embroidery patterns are also ingenious. , there are not many people who can use this kind of material in this Fengchun, if one day meets the owner and returns it to him, it can also form a good relationship."

"Why, do you know the owner?"

Li Dalian shook his head and waved his hands and said, "I don't know him. The villain looks very familiar at first glance, but he didn't recognize him just now. The villain is getting old, and it's common for the villain to be confused."

"If the adults don't give other orders, the villains will go to sweep other yards."

As soon as the words fell, Li Da ran away without a trace.

Lu Qingfeng looked at the half-swept front yard in front of him, thought for a moment, and immediately chased in the direction Li Da ran away.

in the inner courtyard.

Xia Yuhuai invited the masked Tianshi envoy into the room, and asked someone to bring some high-quality tea, and said with a smile, "Why hasn't the envoy shown his true face to others? He has already entered the inner courtyard, and his confidantes are all around. Wouldn't it be better if I were honest with each other so that I can admire the demeanor of the envoy?"

The envoy said proudly, "We are all the chief envoys under the Stone God, and we never show our true colors to others in order to better serve the Stone God. Therefore, I can only refuse my lord's request, and please bear with me."

Xia Yuhuai resisted the urge to complain, and thought to himself, are you really pretending? !

"I don't know if my lord invited me here today, what's the matter?"

Xia Yuhuai paused and said, "I was an official in Xia Yi before, and I have heard of the name of the Tiancaihui for a long time. This time I came to Fengchun for the first time, and I also wanted to pay a visit to the famous envoy of the Tiancaihui, but I was delayed by some trivial matters. yes, that's it"

The envoy smiled and said directly, "My lord was delayed by the matter of my predecessor Li."

Xia Yuhuai did not expect that the envoy would dare to get straight to the point, and his words were even more direct than his.

The envoy looked at Shang Xia Yuhuai and said decisively, "It is widely rumored that the stone god committed crimes on Lord Li and took his life, but this envoy can tell the Lord responsibly that the death of Lord Li has nothing to do with the Tiancaihui."

"Oh?"

"Stone God is merciful and has always cared about helping the world, so how could he wantonly convict others? What's more, Lord Li died in a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster. Am I right?"

Xia Yuhuai said solemnly, "After that night, the official ordered to block the news, how did the messenger know?"

"Master Xia, have you ever heard a saying: Fire cannot be contained in this paper?"

"So, Lord Xia, feel free to investigate, if this matter has anything to do with Tiancai, then I don't need to sit under Shishen's seat.

Xia Yuhuai frowned subconsciously, and the emissary continued to ask, "Apart from that, is there anything else your lord has to do?"

"Isn't it just to invite this envoy to drink this tea?"

The messenger shook the teacup in front of him, looked at the quality of the tea and said with a smile, "No one in the envoy's mansion would drink this kind of tea."

"you!"

The messenger said apologetically, "Lord Xia, it's not that I mocked you on purpose. This is the truth. In front of Stone God, how dare I tell lies?"

"The stone god can tell you that this world belongs to today, not your stone god?"

"Lord Xia, be careful, if Stone God hears this, he will be unhappy."

Xia Yuhuai sneered, "Since the envoy said that the Stone God is merciful, so what if I say so?"

The messenger shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's true that nothing will happen, but my lord...you have to make room for a little bit."

Xia Yuhuai thought of the Queen Mother's letter, so he could only swallow his anger, and softened his tone, "The envoy should stop joking. I am well aware of the fact that those who are responsible for current affairs are heroes, so..."

Only then did the envoy become a little interested and said, "Does your lord want to join my Tiancai Club?"

Xia Yuhuai nodded heavily.

The envoy looked at Xia Yuhuai's face and said, "But the envoy doesn't really want to join because of your lord's expression?"
