Chapter 248 Summoned by Empress Wu
Chapter 248 Summoned by Empress Wu
When a person's name is mentioned, Cui Sheng can feel a strong discomfort, and can't help but spit it out, which shows that this person really disgusts Cui Sheng.
In fact, Cui Sheng just said this clue casually, and he was not sure.
Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from Weinan County, and the Wang family sent servants to work in secret, so it stands to reason that it has nothing to do with Li Qinzai's assassination.
But Cui Sheng was very aware of the conflict between Li Qinzai and Wang Shi. At the beginning, Li Qinzai interrupted her servant's hands and feet in front of Wang Shi.
For the millennium family, this is a deep hatred.
As for the Wang family whose father was newly married, Cui Sheng was an official in the capital, and on the day his father got married, he also failed to participate because of official business.
This shows the attitude of the two brothers and sisters of the Cui family towards the stepmother.
Back then, the Wang family sent servants to Ganjingzhuang to bully his younger sister. This incident deepened Cui Sheng's dislike for the Wang family.
When Cui Sheng told Wang this clue, he also had some hostility towards Wang in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't do such an elbow-out thing.
Strictly speaking, Cui Sheng's clue to his sister today is considered unfilial, after all, it was aimed at his nominal mother, but he still said it after all.
Because the younger sister is dear, even though the brother-in-law is a jerk, he is also dear.
The stepmother is not relative.
The difference between closeness and closeness decides to stand in line.
Cui Sheng sighed, and said: "Tell Li Qinzai, no matter what the results of this matter are found out, don't spread to my Cui family. My father doesn't know about it. The family is big, and many things are deceived. My father can't do anything about it." .”
Cui Jie nodded silently.
Cui Sheng looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "I'm going to get married soon, and I will live a good life with that bastard in the future. Although Li Qinzai is a bastard, he still has some skills, but his temper is a bit muddy. Temperament, I don't know if he will respect you as a guest after you get married..."
The corner of Cui Jie's mouth curled up, and then she curled her lips: "That man, how does he know what 'respect each other like a guest', I was almost bullied to death by him..."
Cui Sheng hummed, his brows frowned, and his face instantly turned frosty: "Did he bully you?"
Seeing that her elder brother was about to turn his back on him, Cui Jie hurriedly said: "No, he is a bully, but... he is still a good person."
Lowering her head, Cui Jie said shyly, "I... like being bullied by him a little bit."
Seeing his younger sister's shy and timid face, Cui Sheng couldn't help feeling chills.
What kind of mood do these young couple get along with each other?Very abnormal look.
…………
Cui Jie told Li Qinzai exactly what her elder brother said.
Li Qinzai was taken aback immediately. He thought that the masked assassin had something to do with his grievances before time travel. After all, he had already borne a lot of blame.
Unexpectedly, it was the Taiyuan Wang family.
So Li Qinzai hurriedly sent someone to Chang'an to inform Song Sen of the incident.
Although it has not been confirmed whether the Wang family is related to the assassination case, this is an important clue after all, and Song Sen at least has a general direction of investigation.
A few days later, Song Sen came again, and he brought three messages.
First, after a close investigation by Baiqisi, before the assassination, some of the envoys to the Tang Dynasty who stayed in Chang'an had contact with a mysterious person.
Second, on the eve of the assassination, Wang Cong'an, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family who stayed in Chang'an, went out in the evening and did not return until the next morning.
Wang Cong'an later said that he stayed in the brothel and didn't return all night. However, Baiqisi verified that Wang Cong'an did stay in the brothel, but he quietly left the brothel at Zishi and disappeared, and he came back only at Yinshi.
The girl from the brothel who stayed with her woke up at night and found that the people around her were not there, so she confessed honestly after being questioned by Bai Qisi.
Third, Empress Wu already knew about this matter, and secretly ordered Baiqisi to detain the subordinates of the Taiyuan Wang family who stayed in Chang'an, and tortured them to find out what happened.
The third piece of news made Li Qinzai's heart sink.
A simple assassination case has been out of control at this time, and it seems to have been involved in a court battle.
Empress Wu and the Taiyuan Wang family are such natural enemies!Empress Wu back then persuaded Li Zhi to abolish Empress Wang before she came to power.
"Prepare the horse, I want to go back to Chang'an!" Li Qinzai said immediately.
It was too late to inform Cui Jie, Li Qinzai just temporarily entrusted Qiao'er to his grandmother who recited Buddhism, and led the Li family's trilogy on the road in a hurry.
Galloping all the way, a few hours later, they arrived outside Chang'an City. Li Qinzai and his followers were about to dismount and enter the city, but they saw an eunuch in crimson clothes standing outside the city gate.
The eunuch saluted Li Qinzai with a smile, and said in a soft voice: "The Queen knows that County Uncle Li will return to Chang'an, and specially ordered servants to wait here. The Queen invites County Uncle Li to come to the palace to see you."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched.
Empress Wu...it really wasn't easy.
Following the eunuch into the Tai Chi Palace, Empress Wu summoned him alone behind the curtain.
This time there was no Li Zhi in the palace, only Empress Wu and Li Qinzai, and there were several court ladies standing beside them, obviously they were the confidantes of Empress Wu.
Through a beaded curtain, Li Qinzai couldn't see Empress Wu's face clearly, but only vaguely saw her still charming figure.
"Minister Li Qinzai, pay homage to the queen." Li Qinzai did not have time to think about it, and paid respects according to the ceremony.
Empress Wu's smiling voice came from behind the bead curtain: "Jing Chu doesn't need to be too polite, the curtain is drawn to avoid suspicion, so don't be surprised by Jing Chu."
"Yes, I understand."
After a moment of silence, Empress Wu suddenly asked, "How are the two princes studying?"
"It's still the same, the ministers are not good at teaching, the fourth prince is a little better, and the seventh prince, His Royal Highness, is really..."
Empress Wu smiled: "It has nothing to do with your teaching. It's because the princes are not talented enough. Jing Chu is still reluctant. You have a peerless knowledge, which must not be lost to the world. The two princes inherit your mantle. They don't want to be born out of blue. Disciples with high talents can also carry forward their knowledge."
After a pause, Empress Wu said again: "The school is a place for learning, and it should be clean. I have never said a word about Jing Chu's teaching, but this time it has nothing to do with the school. I heard that, In the assassination case a few days ago, Taiyuan Wang was also involved?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "Song Zhang of Baiqisi just found clues, maybe it is related to it, but there is no real evidence at present, so I dare not talk nonsense."
Empress Wu's tone became colder: "One hour before you returned to Chang'an, Baiqisi was ordered to torture the members of the Wang clan who stayed behind in Chang'an. Wang Cong'an has already confessed."
Li Qinzai was surprised: "Is it really..."
Empress Wu said: "Yes, in the assassination case, the masked assassin was the dead man of the Wang family in Taiyuan."
Li Qinzai remained silent.
The Taiyuan Wang family had a grudge against him, so it was reasonable to send assassins to retaliate.
But the matter is no longer a simple assassination case, which involves open and secret struggles between the imperial palace and the aristocratic family, so Li Qinzai has to think twice about the authenticity of everyone's words.
Each has its own purpose, and each has its own calculations. The first thing Li Qinzai thought of was, what role did he play in this incident?
cannon fodder?Or pawns?
In short, the matter has come to this point, and he is no longer under his control. The players in this game are getting richer and richer, and they are getting more and more expensive, which is no longer something he can afford.
If you can't afford it, just cancel the account and uninstall it. Can I play another game?
After pondering for a long time, Li Qinzai suddenly said: "My fate is great, I am not stabbed to death, my wish is enough, I just go back to Chang'an today to visit grandpa, after all, it is not easy for an empty-nest old man to live alone..."
Looking up at the jingling bead curtain, Li Qinzai smiled innocently: "As for the culprit behind the assassination case, it will be judged by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment, so I don't care about it."
Empress Wu was obviously surprised by Li Qinzai's answer.
What about the bastard and dandy who beat up people and smashed the house when he didn't agree with him back then?Once a group of envoys sent to Tang Dynasty just stopped your car and threw a few rotten eggs, and you ordered their legs to be broken in the street.
Now that someone is going to kill you, you just let it go like this?
Empress Wu stared at Li Qinzai's blurred face through the bead curtain for a long time, then suddenly smiled: "Jing Chu is much smarter than I imagined. times."
Li Qinzai sighed: "Queen, I don't want to cause trouble, and I really hate trouble."
Li Qinzai didn't say anything else, which was very rude.
That is, he hates being treated as a chess piece even more, moving around on the chessboard, maybe becoming a discarded piece.
Seemingly seeing what Li Qinzai was thinking, Empress Wu smiled lightly and said, "Jing Chu was too worried, you are the successor of the three dynasties, and your ancestors have made countless contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and you have also made a lot of contributions to your majesty." , is an indispensable pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tian family has never had any bad thoughts about your Li family."
