Empress Dowager Guide

Chapter 130 Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Prosperity

Hu Xun also sighed heavily, "Master Li..."

"Master Li's murder must have something to do with the Tiancai Society. I have a small suspicion that Li Da is the internal agent of the Tiancai Society in the county government!"

"That night he lured wolves into the house under the pretense of abdominal pain, and then went in and out of the county government office pretending to be nothing. How could there be such an ungrateful person in this world?!"

"You said this Li Da is a member of Tiancaihui." Xia Yuhuai questioned a little later, "Then...why does Master Li still leave him to work in the county government office and take care of him repeatedly?"

Hu Xun was also annoyed, "Who knows! It's not up to us to intervene in the affairs of adults, but once I persuaded adults, Li Da is lonely and eccentric, and he is not young at all, so why let him stay in the county office?" It is better to let him retire as soon as possible, so that he can have a clear vision."

"But the adults just don't agree, and told me not to mention this matter again, so I had no choice but to give up."

Xia Yu asked suspiciously, "But Li Datong has no relatives, Master Li has no relatives, so he can barely be regarded as the same clan, so why does he bother to take care of him like this?"

Looking at Hu Xun's expression of incomprehension, Xia Yuhuai patted Hu Xun's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I understand everything you said, don't conflict with him for now, I'll care about the rest."

Hu Xun was excited and turned to leave, while Xia Yuhuai sat at the table in a daze.

The water in Fengchun seems to be getting muddier.

"grown ups!"

Before Xia Yuhuai could be cleansed for a moment, Lu Qingfeng rushed in, "My lord, this cloth is really weird!"

Lu Qingfeng gently peeled off the interlayer of the money bag that was just removed, and walked forward with the candlestick on the side.

"You are..."

"My lord, just watch!"

Lu Qingfeng put the interlayer on the fire and slightly roasted it, only to see a line of small characters gradually appeared on the white cloth.

"Ordered by heaven, you will live forever."

Lu Qingfeng's hands trembled when he saw those words, and seeing that the piece of cloth was about to fall off, Xia Yuhuai hurriedly picked up the culprit who made Lu Qingfeng's expression change drastically.

"What is written on it..."

Before Xia Yuhuai could say "What" out of his mouth, he was startled by these eight words and trembled.

"This………"

"This kind of thing, how...how did it appear in the Li family?!"

How could they... have such a rebellious heart? !

The jumping candlelight reflected on the faces of the two people, and the strange eyes of the two people overlapped together, flickering in the dark night with the candlelight.

"It was the medical worker who told me that this cloth seems to be coated with a special layer of paint, which will only develop color when exposed to high temperatures..."

"My lord..." Lu Qingfeng looked at Xia Yuhuai with difficulty, only to see Xia Yuhuai frowned, turned his head and stared at the cloth in his hand without saying a word, "My lord, what should we do now... Here is the evidence, this one That's enough for the whole family of the Li family to be beheaded."

"This is indeed Li Xiaobao's purse, but I see that his eyes are clear and pure, it doesn't seem like he has any objections."

Lu Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "But his brother and father, that's not necessarily the case..."

"Just now Hu Xun said that Li Da seems to be very convinced of the Tiancaihui, and I heard the implication of what the Tiancaihui envoy said to me, and they may have rebelled, but..."

Lu Qingfeng fell silent when he heard the words, the lack of investigation on this matter is even more frightening, from the evil association at the beginning to the rebellious rebels now... If these rebels have a backer again, then... Great Liang...

"But there's one thing I don't know."

Xia Yuhuai thought for a while before continuing, "Lord Li had a lot of quarrels with the Tiancaihui before, but he treats Li Da, a person who respects the Tiancaihui, more preferential treatment. Isn't this contradictory?"

"The envoys of the Sky Color Society insisted again that Master Li's death had nothing to do with them..."

"Qingfeng, who do you think I should trust?"

Lu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "No matter what the truth of the matter is, the most urgent thing is to let the court know that the matter of Fengchun is no longer a small matter that was previously estimated. Let the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Prime Minister make preparations early."

Xia Yuhuai also nodded and agreed, "I'll write a letter to Chen Liu right away, and you will deliver the letter tonight."

"Yes, and Li Da, bring him to the front yard tomorrow for questioning."

Since Sheng Shaoqing arrived at Chen Liu's mansion, he ignored the system's warnings and slept hard for two days before recovering. This long-distance trip in a carriage was really an old crime.

After unfolding Xia Yuhuai's handwriting that Lu Qingfeng brought, Sheng Shaoqing was also a little startled after roughly reading it.

I thought that Li Dabao was only engaged in some economic crimes, but I didn't expect that people had already set their sights on the chair under her buttocks.

Lu Qingfeng saw that the empress dowager looked pale, but he didn't react in any other way, he couldn't help but sighed that the empress dowager was really strong in her heart.

"Master Lu, in your opinion, can this Tiancai Society succeed?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head resolutely, "Such crooked ways are deceiving people, and they use the people to oppose the imperial court. It's really abominable. If they can succeed, do they really think that the rules and laws of the world are just a show?!"

Sheng Shaoqing shook his head and said, "Then why do so many people believe in it?"

"Yesterday, I read that when Nan Jing changed his dynasty, there was a time when the Taiping Dao was raging. Didn't Emperor Jingming at that time rely on the destruction of the Taiping Dao to make his way to the ranks of the General Hussars?"

Lu Qingfeng hesitated and said, "But at that time, the Taiping Dao was indignant because of Xiao's inhumanity, and was used by the rebel Sun En to bring about the disaster of the Taiping Dao. and die."

Sheng Shaoqing turned around and stared at Lu Qingfeng and asked, "Then what is the difference between the God of Water back then and the God of Stone today?"

"If the people have no complaints against the imperial court, how can they follow the god made of stone?!"

Lu Qingfeng was speechless when asked, Sheng Shaoqing continued, "Check! Let me check!"

At first she thought it was Li Dabao who brainwashed people, a small misfortune, nothing to fear, but now it seems that Li Dabao was just used as a knife, there must be someone behind him making trouble.

"Da Li's family is the most suspicious. If we start with them and follow the vines, I don't believe that we can't find their lair."

"Yes!"

Lu Qingfeng turned back overnight and only entered Fengchun territory at dawn. As soon as he arrived at the county government office, he saw Xia Yuhuai interrogating Li Da in the front hall.

After Lu Qingfeng whispered a few words into Xia Yuhuai's ear, he stood aside and watched the trial.

"Li Da, do you see what this is?"

Xia Yuhuai spent the night looking for someone to sew up the money bag, and now it was thrown in front of Li Da again.

Li Da was flustered looking at the purse with the traces of mending, but in an instant he changed into an indifferent expression and said, "This...isn't it a purse?"

"Then do you know whose purse is this?"

Li Da grabbed the money bag and really looked at it carefully for a moment, "Well... Although the money bag is damaged, it is not difficult to see that the workmanship is fine. It must belong to a rich family in the city, right?"

"I remember, Mr. Li, your family is also a well-known wealthy family. How can you be wronged to do these rough jobs every day in this small county government?"

Li Da's expression froze, "Where is it, the villain's family is just a little surplus, a little surplus."

"What's more, those are all earned by the youngest son's business. How can they be compared with the wealthy households in the city?"

Xia Yuhuai patted the gavel and said angrily, "The evidence is convincing, how dare you deny it?!"

Li Da seemed to be terrified, "Sir, what do you want the younger one to recognize, and the younger one recognizes everything."

"you!"

"This purse clearly belongs to your youngest son, why are you denying it?"

Li Da frowned and argued, "Your Excellency, you don't know, most of us in Tiancai Town have similar wallets..."

"And..." Li Dayi patted his head as if remembering something and said, "This seems to be the money bag of the villain Thirteenth Uncle!"

"A few days ago, Thirteenth Uncle happened to lose a purse, and it was somewhat similar to the one in front of him. He just couldn't find it everywhere, so how could it be here?"

Xia Yuhuai knew that Li Da was cunning, so he snorted coldly, "Are you talking about Li Shisan?"

"That day, when your youngest son lent the money bag to his thirteenth uncle, I was there, and your thirteenth uncle is in the post house at the moment, do you want me to bring someone to meet you face to face? Confrontation?"

Li Da was stunned on the spot, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that it was his little treasure who lied to him.

"Bao... you!"

"Why... Do you recognize it now, or not?"

Hu Xun watched from the sidelines to relieve his anger, and added fuel and jealousy, "My lord, if he still refuses to admit it, why don't you just reward him with twenty big boards, the young ones don't believe that this old thing has such hard bones, and he can bite him to death if he refuses to recognize it?"

Li Da bowed his head and said, "This is indeed Gouzi's purse."

"Can………"

Xia Yuhuai then threw the cloth with treasonous words written on it in front of Li Da.

"Then you should explain it to me, why is this in your son's purse?"

"What dissatisfaction do you have with the current imperial court?"

Hu Xun gloated even more at the side. He didn't expect that before he found evidence, Li Da would come to his door by himself, and such a big clue would fall into Mr. Xia's hands.

Li Da just kept silent, Xia Yuhuai asked again and again, but Li Da kept his lips tightly shut, refusing to speak any more.

"I see that you are old, you'd better not force me to torture you."

Xia Yuhuai saw that Li Da really didn't get in, and just when he was about to throw away the order in anger, he suddenly heard someone report, "The messenger of Tianshi has arrived!"

Li Da seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this sound, his waist stiffened a bit, and he knelt up straight beside him.

Xia Yuhuai had no choice but to put on a welcoming look and greeted him with a smile because of his previous plan, "The envoy is here today, what's your business?"

The emissary said proudly, "Your Excellency's decision on the case should not have been interrupted by the emissary, but Stone God has an order to take this Li Da back to serve, and I hope you will hold your hand high."

After finishing speaking, the messenger fixed his eyes on Xia Yuhuai's face.

Xia Yuhuai gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Do you know what crime Li Da committed?"

"It seems that adults still don't understand our Sky Lottery Club."

"A believer in the Tiancai Society, no matter how big a mistake he has made, as long as Stone God says he is innocent, then he is innocent."

"you!"

Xia Yuhuai had no choice but to whisper to the messenger, "You... make it difficult for me to do this."

"In this way, if your lord releases Li Da, your lord's membership fee will not have to be paid, how about it?"

Seeing that Xia Yuhuai was still hesitant, the messenger said impatiently, "My lord, please don't keep Stone God waiting."

Xia Yuhuai had no choice but to nod, and let the messenger let the people behind him take Li Da away.

Hu Xun looked aggrieved, and the messenger rushed to Xia Yuhuai as soon as he left the house and said, "My lord, why did you let Li Da go?!"

"Now... now... Li Da has gone to the Tiancai Club, but it will be even more difficult to catch him!"

Xia Yuhuai shrugged and said, "Then... is there a better way?"

Lu Qingfeng was also a little annoyed at the side, and whispered in Xia Yuhuai's ear, "It seems that Master Xia is really not simple, he is really good at pretending to be a grandson."

"If it weren't for Master Xia's righteous words in front of the Empress Dowager to wipe out the Tiancaihui, I really thought that Master Xia had already followed the Romans and followed the Tiancaihui."

Xia Yuhuai looked to the left at the wronged Hu Xun, and to the right at the angry Lu Qingfeng, smiled and said, "Could it be that in your eyes, this official is so useless?"

Hu Xun lowered his head and didn't dare to answer, but he also acquiesced to Xia Yuhuai's statement, but Lu Qingfeng nodded directly, and those who agreed could not agree anymore.

"Let me ask you, what is Fengchun's biggest disaster now?"

Hu Xun and Lu Qingfeng said in unison, "Of course it's the Tiancai meeting."

"Li Da is not only related to Tiancaihui, but also inseparable from the death of Master Li. Whoever comes to rescue him at this moment means..."

Xia Yuhuai looked at Hu Xun and Lu Qingfeng again, and they also reacted, "Who killed Master Li!"

Hu Xun excitedly said, "I knew Sky Cai would do it!"

"I'm going to kill this messenger to avenge my lord!"

After Hu Xun finished speaking, he picked up the machete on the side and was about to go away single-handedly.

Lu Qingfeng immediately stopped him and said, "Just you?"

"With Tiancaihui, against the countless people who have been deceived?"

Hu Xun was discouraged by Lu Qingfeng's words, "Then... what should I do..."

Xia Yuhuai suddenly asked from the side, "But what's the reason for the Tiancai meeting?"

"Master Li has been at odds with Tiancai Society for a long time, why did you let them kill them?"

"grown ups…………"

Lu Qingfeng suddenly thought of something, "My lord, do you feel that the eyes of the emissary who just left..."

Hu Xun also reacted after being taken aback, "It's also the first time I've seen this messenger, but I feel like I've seen his eyes before."

Xia Yuhuai thought about it carefully, "He covered his face twice when he came here, and never showed his face to others."

Hu Xun excitedly said, "I know!"

"The villain knows!"

"Li Da has broken eyebrows and triangular eyes, and the emissary is also like this, but it's because Li Da is old and his eyebrows are white, so it's hard to see, but if Li Da is a few years younger, I'm afraid it will be the same as that emissary's eyes. It's exactly the same!"

Xia Yuhuai glanced at the money bag on the ground, looked at the pattern embroidered on it, and thought of the flower pattern on the emissary's cuff. When he saw him yesterday, he asked what kind of pattern the cuff was. Why had he never seen such a strange decoration? The pattern looks like a sand fruit, but there is another gap missing.

Xia Yuhuai said in a deep voice, "It seems that Tiancailou must go today."

Lu Qingfeng and Hu Xun looked at each other, "The villain (lower official) is willing to go with the adults."
