Chapter 57: This bullshit seems to be a bit exaggerated
"Sister Huang, why are you here?"
It was really surprising to see Xiao Li coming to the door so early in the morning.
Xiao Li's expression was not as energetic as in the palace, and the physical fatigue hit her, making her look a little haggard, but it did not prevent her from torturing Xiao Jingyi.
"There is something I would like to ask King Wei to clarify."
Xiao Jingyi: "."
I thought Xiao Li didn't care about it, but he chased him to his house early in the morning. Is that what happened?
Finally, Xiao Jingyi invited people in, served breakfast, and talked while eating.
Xiao Jingyi's targeting of Zhang De was indeed not a whim, otherwise where would he have gotten so much well-prepared evidence?
And his grievances with Zhang De must start with his grandfather's family.
Xiao Jingyi's grandfather was the last Minister of Justice. If not for an accident, he would still be in the court at this moment. Because of his upright character, he offended many people, but he was one of the few honest officials praised by the people.
However, he was stabbed to death by a gangster on the way to handle the case. Then his home was broken into, and all his property was looted. His uncle was killed, his aunt was humiliated, his grandmother was seriously ill from fear, and she died soon after, and the young children at home were frightened. Silly, the whole family is ruined.
And Zhang De was the later Minister of Justice. Although the evidence at the time had nothing to do with him, Zhang De had an absolute motive for committing the crime.
Zhang De was a widower who suppressed his wife. At that time, he killed two wives in a row and had no children.
The third wife he wanted to marry back then was Xiao Jingyi's mother. He fell in love with her at first sight on the street, and then stalked her, forcing Xiao Jingyi's grandfather to send her to the palace to avoid trouble.
Later, Zhang De married two more wives, but they still died soon. Many people only remember ridiculing him for being wife-killing, and no one can remember that he had ever thought about Xiao Jingyi's mother.
Xiao Jingyi didn't know it until his biological mother died of a serious illness four years ago. She told him this secret before she died, hoping that when he grew up, he could avenge his grandfather's family.
Since then, Xiao Jingyi has been keeping an eye on Zhang De. So far, he has still found no evidence that Zhang De killed his grandfather, but he has other evidence about him in his hands. Zhang De is a scumbag. Judging from his various methods, he had every reason to suspect that he had killed his grandfather in the first place.
It was not that he deliberately took advantage of Xiao Li that day, but it happened that the person Xiao Li beat was Zhang De's nephew, who was very important to Zhang De, and Zhang De happened to be so aggressive that he complained to the emperor.
Sue Zhang De to save Xiao Li from the siege and at the same time hide his true purpose.
The opportunity was right in front of him and he couldn't help but seize it.
He couldn't use his grandfather's case to convict Zhang De, but as long as Zhang De was dusted off, he would always know the truth. Anyway, as long as Zhang De died in the end, it would be the same destination.
Xiao Jingyi's boyish face rarely revealed deep sadness. It may have been an act, but more of it was true emotion.
Xiao Li thought that in the so-called plot, the King of Wei had always been a playboy who was eating, drinking and having fun without any ambition.
He hid very well and lived very well. When Xiao Jingyun was in power, he was an idle prince. After King Chen Xiao Jingyu came to power, he was still an idle prince living in idleness.
However, according to his true nature revealed now, even if he is not a great person, he will definitely be able to fulfill his thoughts and avenge his relatives.
The original person also lost his biological mother and lost his maternal family, but the original person never thought about avenging his biological mother, nor did he think about doing something on his own. Instead, he only had one Lu Yanzhi in his love brain. As a result, he was too selfless, and Lu Yanzhi was the only one. The thought destroyed her.
"Then you got the truth you wanted?"
Xiao Jingyi shook his head: "No, Zhang De is currently being held in the Sky Prison, and his charges are still under review. I cannot enter the Sky Prison at will, let alone question him."
Xiao Li casually put the gold token on the table: "This, can I go in as I please?" Xiao Jingyi's eyes instantly went straight when he saw the token, but Xiao Li held it down and looked at him with a malicious smile: "King Wei, if you want this princess to help you, you have to do me a small favor first."
King Wei was shocked, stunned, and laughed.
"Sister, please tell me. I know everything I know." This sentence was sincere from the bottom of my heart.
Xiao Li actually didn't care about the affairs of King Wei and Zhang De. The reason why she asked was just to test Xiao Jingyi, or his abilities. Now she knew.
If Xiao Li wants to deal with the Lu family, she must first understand it, but she is an outsider, and there is not much description of the Lu family in the plot, so now she is blind. She needs someone who can help her explain clearly the interests of the Lu family, and finally What a person who knows the shortcomings of the Lu family.
She didn't know anyone else, so King Wei became the best candidate.
It's easy to talk to smart people. When Xiao Li mentioned the Lu family, Xiao Jingyi told him everything he knew.
There were many aristocratic families in the current dynasty, and there were more than a hundred aristocratic families that could be ranked as such. In fact, these aristocratic families, which were considered the highest in the world, were divided into three, six, and nine levels.
Third-rate aristocratic families are just aristocratic families with a large number of people and a lot of property. The only difference between them and wealthy businessmen is that their ancestors once served as officials and were distinguished, and they consider themselves scholars.
Most of the second-rate aristocratic families were developed from relatives of the emperor. They had a somewhat special status, their heirs were quite worthy, and they had a certain say in the court.
A first-class aristocratic family is like the Lu family. Many of their children are officials. They have accumulated wealth, power, and prestige. They have a pivotal position in the court and can even directly threaten the imperial power.
The first-rate aristocratic families dominate the court, the second-rate aristocratic families wander around and want to climb up, and the third-rate aristocratic families rely on the first-rate aristocratic families.
So the Lu family is not just the Lu family, it also has vassal in-law families.
Gao family, Liu family, Pang family, Meng family, Li family, Liu family
For example, Mrs. Lu comes from the Pang family, Mrs. Lu comes from the Liu family, and Lu Chengzhi's wife Gao Lan comes from the Gao family.
The Lu family is a big tree, and other families are no different. They become its thick branches and form a towering tree, majestic and unshakable.
Because of Xiao Li's trouble before, the emperor scraped off the Lu family's body, which was just drizzle, and even the skin was not injured.
It is simply impossible to overthrow the Lu family.
Xiao Li was a little shocked after hearing this, but not particularly shocked. This kind of big family has been like this throughout the ages, coming back from the dead and starting again and again.
However, taking down the behemoth Lu family in two months seems to be a bit exaggerated.
So, why did the emperor agree to give her the golden order?
Was he lame because of her deception, or did he have no brains?
But yes, before the emperor suppressed the Lu family and got some benefits, he was very happy, which shows that his mind is like that.
If he had not been born by the Queen Mother and the late emperor had left a legacy to pass the throne to him, it is another question whether he would have been able to secure the throne.
Of course this is not important now, what is important is that she must make it.
I'm late, I apologize, ::>_<::I'm sorry.
I went to see the Blacksmith last night and there was a sea of people. I have never seen so many people crowded together in my life. It was full of heads as far as I could see.
The snack street is even more crowded and packed with people.
I almost suffocated, ~~~~(>_<)~~~~I will never join in the fun again.
