Everyone in the Li family was naturally very surprised to see Xu Jingzhen's arrival. Fortunately, today was the Lantern Festival, and the Li family also invited Dr. Liang and a young boy from Shaoyang to have dinner at home to celebrate the festival.
In this way, Li's father naturally arranged for Xu Jingzhen to sit at the same table with Dr. Liang and the Shaoyang boy.
Due to the assassination of Li Sanniang half a month ago, even if there is no curfew during the Lantern Festival this year, the Li family has decided not to go out to watch lanterns or anything else.
In short, safety comes first.
After all, you can watch the lantern parade every year, so there is no need to join in the fun at this juncture.
In this way, after five dishes and three rounds of wine, Father Li saw that everyone was almost done eating, so he put down his chopsticks and invited Dr. Liang and the others to sit down in the main hall to have tea and snacks.
Jiang Shengnan took Li Sanlang and the others, together with Sister-in-law Li, Sister-in-law Li, Wu Qiaolan, Bao Ya, Song Fuling, and Ling Lan, who came to Li's house for the holidays, to clear away the leftovers from the three tables.
After cleaning up and serving tea and snacks to the people sitting in the main hall, Baoya and Song Fuling took Lu Zhuer, Xiao Wulang, Xiao Liulang and Ping An to play around the four dogs in the yard. .
Song Dalang (the father of Song Fuling) felt that he, a coachman, could not talk to the people sitting in the main hall, so he worked on crafts in the yard with the dim light from the lantern and the moonlight in the sky. Make children happy by making little animals out of straw.
Qiuxiang, Lao Shi and Lao Wu also felt that it was the Li family who wanted to say something in the main hall, so they did not follow Li Sanniang in and found a place to sit in the yard like Song Dalang.
The three of them directed Li Sanlang and Li Silang to fight with wooden swords, testing the brothers' martial arts.
In the main hall of the Li family, Li's father and mother were sitting at the top. Dr. Liang and Xu Jingzhen were sitting opposite each other. There was a young Shaoyang boy sitting on a stool next to old doctor Liang.
Beside Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li, sitting next to them is Li Erlang, and opposite to them sits Li Sanniang.
Xu Jingzhen turned around and looked at Li Sanniang, who nodded to him, so Xu Jingzhen coughed lightly and said slowly: "I'm sorry for you today. First, I was worried about Sanniang, so I came to visit her. ;
Secondly, after today, the saint wrote that the two cases pressing against Sanniangzi (the smallpox poisoning case of Liu’s family, the Duke of Chongqing, and the assassination case of a dead man on the street) should be solved within three days. The sage at Dali Temple will give a verdict within seven days.”
Xu Jingzhen stopped after saying this, giving everyone enough time to think.
Li Sanniang listened to Xu Jingzhen's words and thought about the message Mr. Bu sent before. Judging from the message Xu Jingzhen sent to her door, the bad guys knew more.
“Xu Jing really didn’t know that Duke Yu who was an interviewer in Lihong (now Nanchang, Jiangxi) and Princess Nanping who accompanied Duke Yu had already been reprimanded by Emperor Wu’s decree.
This happened because Mr. Bu saw with his own eyes the edict written by Emperor Wu.
Not to mention that all the dead soldiers given to Liu Chao by Princess Nanping were found out, and Liu Chao is now in Dali Temple. In prison
Because of the dead soldiers in the hands of the princess of the clan, Emperor Wu also took advantage of the situation and asked the guards and bad guys to once again thoroughly investigate the matter of dead soldiers in the families of the clan and the super-ranked princes.
According to what Mr. Ke said, this incident happened to happen. Emperor Wu was about to launch an attack on the clan and the Duke's Mansion, which had serious land annexations.
Liu Chao will be exiled thousands of miles this time, and he will definitely not end well. "
Xu Jingzhen looked at Li Sanniang with no surprise in her eyes. After thinking about it, she said: "I know that Sanniang is a bad person, and I must have known about it. I just don't talk too much." Just one sound. "
" Mr. Xu Sanlang is right. I owe it to my Sanniang to thank you.
For the sake of our past friendship, you can come and tell us at this moment. We only want to say thank you, so why are you talking too much? "
Before Li Sanniang said these words, Li's mother directly followed Xu Jingzhen's words and said it.
"Yes, Aniang is right. If you can come and let me know, this is a sign of affection, and I would certainly like to thank you. ”
Xu Jingzhen waved his hand, seeing that Li Sanniang meant that he knew more than what he had found out at Dali Temple, so he felt relieved, knowing that Li Sanniang’s safety was guaranteed. , he changed the topic and talked about the lantern parade in Chang'an City this year.
In this way, Xu Jingzhen stayed at Li's house for another half an hour before getting up and saying goodbye.
Old doctor Liang was getting older. After Xu Jingzhen left, he was helped back to the backyard residence to rest by the young boy from Shaoyang.
At this moment, only the Li family was left in the main hall of the Li family. The children had long been tired from playing, and they all lay down on the low couches in the side hall and fell asleep.
“According to what Mr. Ke said, Liu Chao will not end well, and at worst he will be exiled thousands of miles away.
In this case, Qiuxiang’s injury finally found the mastermind behind it. Let it be punished
It's similar to what Xu Jingzhen said. I should still go to court to testify about the Tianhua poisoning case. I think I will be able to understand both of these matters within seven days. "
After Li Sanniang said this, she stood up and saluted everyone in the Li family. Just when everyone was confused about what she meant, Li Sanniang stood up straight and said, "This gift should be my apology to everyone. of.
If I hadn’t been involved in this case, it wouldn’t have affected my family and you wouldn’t be able to go out during the Lantern Festival.
I should pay attention to these things in the future. I also told Mr. Bu to send extra manpower to our neighborhood. I believe that after this incident, there are not many people in Chang'an City who dare to attack me. That's it.
In this way, the safety of our family is also guaranteed.
However, you'd better be more careful in the future. I will still offend a lot of people as an official. Who knows if some crazy people will take it out on you. ”
After that, Li Sanniang saluted again to express his apology.
Just as Li Sanniang and the others expected, on the fifth day after the Lantern Festival, the brothers of the Liu family of the Chongqing Government came to Qianqiang. The smallpox poisoning case came to a conclusion under the verdict of Dali Temple.
Li Sanniang also went to court as a witness that day. Liu Chao was told the truth by Wang Sanlang and used the death sentence given by Princess Nanping before he came to Chang'an City. The assassination of Li Sanniang and his attempt to cover up the fact that he secretly poisoned his brother Liu Tong also came to fruition.
". The title of Duke of Chongqing was inherited by Liu Qi. Liu Chao ignored the law and committed suicide. For the sake of the clan, the crime was increased to one level and sentenced to hanging to correct the law. ”
No one expected that Liu Chao, the son of a princess, could not even save his life and was sentenced to death.
After Li Sanniang came out of Dali Temple, she was blown by the cold wind outside and her forehead felt cold. Then she felt that the fine sweat on her forehead had been dried by the wind.
"Master!"
Song Fuling stepped forward and helped Li Sanniang. After getting on the carriage, Li Sanniang closed her eyes and leaned on the cushions, thinking about everything that had just happened in the court hall of Dali Temple. .
“Sure enough, just as Mr. Bu said, Emperor Wu is going to take action on the clan and those superior princes.
This is to take advantage of the fact that the land annexation has not yet reached the uncontrollable stage, directly overturning the table, breaking all this, making domestic conflicts less severe, and also going further on the road to prosperous maritime trade, and making domestic development more Better.
It’s just that the will of the supreme ruler in this feudal society can really affect everything. If one day we strangers have any ideas, I’m afraid we will also be sent to the gallows. ”
