After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 192 Send you on your way
He Shanshen nodded in agreement, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Lingyue.

"Princess, this is a letter that Governor Wen accidentally lost when he came to Zhechong Mansion to find a humble job and drink. It records the real cause of death of Xie Shiji, the previous captain of Zhechong Mansion!"

Li Lingyue took it over doubtfully. Li Lingyue was not familiar with Xie Shiji. She only knew that after his death, Emperor Wu recommended He Shan to Li Zhi and appointed him as the new captain of Zhechong Prefecture.

After reading the entire letter, combined with the confessions of Li Changxiao and Lingyun sister and brother, Li Lingyue roughly clarified the context of the matter.

This Xie Shiji had been helping Li Changxiao before and had dispatched more than 20 soldiers to guard the dam.

Since he is a guard, he is bound to kill.

Some of the drained coolies were buried alive under the embankment by these soldiers. It was originally done neatly, but after returning to the camp, someone got greedy and threatened Xie Shiji with this matter and demanded hush money. Xie Shiji approached Li Changxiao to discuss it. They simply stopped doing nothing and planned to silence all the soldiers who had participated in guarding the river embankment.

Under Li Changxiao's instruction, Xie Shiji pretended to be drunk and whipped the soldiers, deliberately causing the soldiers to mutiny, thinking that he would send troops to quell the rebellion when the situation became more serious. However, it was self-defeating and he was killed by his subordinates.

Li Lingyue handed the letter back to He Shan, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Uncle, you must have noticed it. With Wen Deju's shrewdness, he would not have left the letter with you so carelessly!"

He Shan patted his thigh and said, "Yes! This is something that I can't figure out. Ordinarily, he can just write a statement and submit it to the court, which is considered a credit. There is no need to be so clever in front of me!"

Li Lingyue smiled coldly and said without thinking: "This old fox is not playing tricks, he is killing people with a borrowed knife and rising higher and higher!"

"Why do you see it?" He Shan asked.

Li Lingyue did not hide her humiliation and analyzed patiently: "The captain of Zhechong Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture. If anything happens to Xie Shiji, the former captain of Zhechong Prefecture, it will definitely involve the governor Zhao Weiting. Once Zhao Weiting falls, he, the governor, will become the biggest Beneficiary. Because of this, Wen Deju obviously had evidence to overthrow Zhao Weiting, but he could not report it to the court. Firstly, he was my mother's man, so coming forward to expose it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Secondly, his subordinates exposed him. The boss is a taboo in official circles and has a bad reputation. Thirdly, if Zhao Weiting cannot be defeated, his position as governor will become very passive. So no matter what, he must avoid suspicion in this matter! You are also the inspector, so it is most suitable for you to be the villain. You can report Zhao Weiting's incompetence and help him avoid suspicion, which is the best of both worlds!"

Hearing this, He Shan slapped his thigh and cursed angrily: "Grandma, this scholar has so many evil intentions!"

Li Lingyue was noncommittal, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: It's not just Governor Wen who is very arrogant. Maybe the real manipulator behind the scenes is my harmless old lady!
When she thought of Empress Wu, Li Lingyue suddenly had mixed feelings. When she designed Li Changxiao to be imprisoned, Empress Wu, who had always doted on him, did not stand up to help her immediately. Instead, regardless of her own feelings, she took the opportunity to make a political deal with Prince Yu. Through the transaction, we obtained the important position of 'East Capital Stay'.

Facts have proved that when it comes to issues involving rights, this doting mother can make her daughter suffer some injustice.

Now that he wants to completely overthrow Prince Yu's Mansion, I'm afraid he can't let this mother get involved, otherwise, what awaits him may be another ruthless power transaction.

Thinking of this, Li Lingyue told He Shan all the causes and consequences of the Wei family's tragedy, and finally warned:
"Uncle, since Governor Wen is willing to give you some credit, then you will accept his favor and bring the Xiao family and the Wei family siblings to Chang'an to meet my father and let him make the decision himself!"

Li Lingyue's plan was very simple. Since the laws of the Tang Dynasty could not kill the "privileged king", he would expose the crimes of Prince Yu's palace. As long as Li Changxiao was demoted to a commoner, he would find a way to kill him later.

She had even thought about it. The old man named San Ye still owed her a wish. When the time came, she made the request to kill Li Changxiao, and she believed that the other party would not refuse.

However... at the same time that He Shan rushed to the Taoist temple, in the Luoyang City Prison, under the supervision of two soldiers, the prison leader Sun Kui carried a wooden bucket filled with rice porridge and distributed food one by one.

When he reached the innermost prison, Prison Leader Sun waved the wooden ladle in his hand, knocked on the fence hard, and shouted to the prisoners inside with an impatient expression:

"Hey, who can put out the bowl for me and give me some food!"

On the straw mat in the prison, a graceful woman was lying on her side. When she heard the call from prison leader Sun, she quickly stood up, picked up a wooden bowl next to her, poured out the water in it, then pinched her sleeves and carefully Wiped the bowl.

"Hurry up!" Sun Laotou spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm and urged the woman again.

The woman's ears turned red from being scolded, and she hurriedly walked to the fence, stretched out her white wrist, and handed the wooden bowl out.

With a "hurrah", Sun Laotou scooped up a large ladle of hot porridge from the wooden bucket, and then poured it into the woman's wooden bowl.

The small wooden bowl could not hold a large ladle of hot porridge. In an instant, the scalding hot porridge overflowed the wooden bowl. The woman was so burned that she screamed, and when she shrank her hand, the wooden bowl fell off and fell to the ground.

"You damn little bitch, how dare you embarrass me!"

Sun Laotou was instantly angered. He threw away the wooden ladle and stretched out his left hand to grab the woman's hair. Seeing this, the two soldiers behind him quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"What are you doing? Let her go!"

Just as two soldiers stepped forward to grab Sun Laotou's left hand, Old Man Sun grabbed his right hand, pulled out a saber from one of the soldiers' waist, and chopped the other soldier to the ground with one blow.

"Someone is robbing the prison!"

Another soldier hurriedly drew out his saber, resisted, and shouted outside.

Sun Laotou had quick eyes and quick hands. He slashed the opponent's shoulder with his knife and killed the two soldiers in two strokes.

Then he used all his strength to split open the cell fence, raised his knife and squeezed in.

The sudden scene scared the woman back and asked in a trembling voice:
"You...you...you...are you here to save me?!"

Sun Lao shook his head at the blood on the knife, and ignored the footsteps coming from the corridor. He cracked the corner of his mouth, revealing a row of yellowed teeth, and smiled at the woman who was forced into the corner:
"Princess! I'm here to send you on your way!!"
