Chapter 37

Seeing that Lanling didn't understand, Li Hong continued: "as the saying goes, eating people's mouth is short, holding hands is short. If I accept those gifts, does it mean that I agree with them? Is this not contrary to the father's purpose of suppressing the five surnames and seven families? Further speaking, if I do something in the future, my father and the emperor, because of the five surnames and seven families, are not the words that father and son do not agree with each other? Make people think of that and that. What's more, I haven't spent a cent of my own money to get close to the Xiao family in Lanling. With all the savings accumulated by Xiao Shufei hard, it has become a public praise for them to care for their family relationship, and they have established a relationship with me that is different from ordinary courtiers. What do we get? What do you get out of it? "

After returning from the Ci'en Temple last night, Li Hong pondered for half a night before he thought about the taste. The Xiao family in Lanling was really a traitor. He did everything he could for the sake of profit.

Lanling also vaguely understood that Li Hong's words, beyond the phonetic meaning, that is, he already had the intention of fighting for the crown prince, not that he was not willing to make courtiers now, and what the reasons for his father's suppression of the five surnamed and seven families were just words.

The main reason is that the Xiao family in Lanling can't get into Li Hong's eyes, and their official positions are too low to play any powerful role in his struggle for the crown prince's position. Li Hong will not pay attention to him in the only thing given by Zhongshu province. As for the governor and Sima, Li Hong naturally will not pay attention to him.

Therefore, it is not so much Li Hong's unwillingness to accept the gift from the Xiao family of Lanling. It is more that the chips and sincerity given by the Xiao family of Lanling are far from satisfying Li Hong.

"Do you mean not to help?" After Lan Ling understood the truth, he no longer forced Li Hong. He knew that Li Hong's future was more visible. As expected, the crown prince's position was in his pocket.

"To help is to help. First, I helped because of Yiyang, Gao'an and Li Sujie, and had nothing to do with the Xiao family in Lanling. Secondly, if Xiaoshi in Lanling wants me to feel that they are sincere, at least they have to let my aunt live a happy life. Otherwise, I don't think there is any reason to think that they approached me for the sake of Xiao Shufei. What's more, what does Xiaoshi of Lanling produce

"Lanling wine." Lanling said.

"Yes, Lanling is your fiefdom. This year, the profit share of Lanling wine has been rising, but my aunt can only watch and let her unconditionally help them get close to me. It's really a trick. It's too petty and improper." Li Hong is a real scoundrel.

Lanling listened to Li Hong's words and felt warm in his heart. The little guy still had this idea for himself. He touched Li Hong's head with a smile and said, "OK, my aunt knows what you mean, but it's someone else's own wine. What's the matter with me?"

"Well, that's half of their family business. What's your business? I didn't let them speak out yesterday. I have given them enough face. Can they participate in the Royal affairs? If they still don't have any sincere thanks to you recently, I don't think it's wrong for you to occupy a few percent of their shares. " At the end of the day, Li Hong seemed to be a completely different person, as if he was talking to Lanling as a thoughtful adult rather than a child.

Lanling looked at the villain in front of her and didn't know what to say. But she knew in her heart that Li Hong was good to her. I'm afraid that in addition to being his aunt, Li Hong did not hesitate to take out the Linglong tower and ask him to make amends.

"Hong'er, this can't be blind. Xiaoshi in Lanling is not as simple as you think. Even if you have something, it's not only you who can shake it." Lanling held Li Hong in his arms and reminded him.

"Don't worry. Before I go back to the palace, if they don't go to your house to thank you, don't blame me for my unkindness. Sooner or later, I'll give their Lanling wine the surname of aunt!" Li Hong said in Lanling's arms, but Lanling's body was stiff, and he was afraid.

Originally, her character was to stand aloof from the world, and she was indifferent to these external things. But she didn't expect that Li Hong was willing to do so for her sake.

Li Hong seemed to feel the tightness of Lanling's body, so he comforted Lanling's uneasy heart and said, "it's not because their Xiaoshi's fine wine profits make me envious, but because their way of doing things makes me look down upon. If they use you like this, they must not be allowed to go on like this. They must pay some price and let them have a long memory."

"Dai Wang, Lord Liu is visiting." Xia Zhi went to the side of his lonely nephew and whispered.

"Let him in." Li Hong got up from Lanling's arms, and Lanling went to the backyard to see if there were any ornaments in his workshop that he could follow.

Liu Rengui took out some letters from his sleeve pocket and put them on Li Hong's case table. He said, "the court officials originally wanted to report this matter to his majesty. His majesty said that this case was handled by you on behalf of the king. Therefore, he asked you to continue to handle the case before returning to the palace."

Li Hong looked at several letters, one of which was the instruction of his father's emperor, and the others were letters from Liu Shuang's family with Wei Ying. However, there was no mention of their relationship in the letters. It was only through vague ability that Liu Shuang used the position of Zhongshu order to open up some convenient doors for Wei Ying.Put down the letter in his hand, since the father wanted to try his ability as a four-year-old, he wanted to ignore it.

So Li Hong asked, "Mr. Liu, what did you find out last night?"

"Daiwang, after taking the suspects from the Ci'en Temple last night, I interrogated Mr. Duan one by one, but there was nothing valuable. I just got some answers from those people you said were imprisoned in the backyard, and then beat around the Bush to find out. It seems that they have been carrying out population Trading, but the specific woman named Ya Rou denied it Liu Rengui frowned and said.

"We can make a breakthrough from Wang Jing. He should be the best one to be interrogated. As for Liu Shuang, he should be held in custody first, without any interrogation. That vixen should know the cause and effect of everything, it depends on your ability Li Hong pondered and said.

"Dai Wang Congying, the minister is also planning to do so, but there is one more thing. What should the woman do? The minister judges that this woman should have a high status. I'm afraid it is not as simple as an ordinary woman. "

"That's natural. It's impossible for an ordinary woman to make the middle letter order of the Tang Dynasty her guest of honor. Her identity is absolutely not simple. For the sake of safety, she can't use punishment or force. It's very difficult." After that, Li Hong himself laughed.

Liu Rengui echoed with a smile and said, "today, Li Yifu asked the minister about the case. I don't know if he can..."

"No, the people from the provinces under the gate are joining in. It's not disorderly." Li Hong knew that Liu Rengui was testing his relationship with Li Yifu and his dependence on Li Yifu. I just don't know if there is a father's meaning in this trial.

"In that case, there is only one way left." Liu Rengui's exquisite eyes swept over Li Hong's face.

"What can I do?" Li Hong felt a hint of conspiracy.

"Then you can only interrogate in person, so even if this woman's status is more noble, can she still have your dignity? Even if someone asks for someone from Honglu temple or intends to intervene, we will not insult this woman's identity, right? " Liu said.

Li Hong looked at Liu Rengui warily. Several thoughts flashed through his mind and asked, "whose idea is this? Father's? Or who gave you advice? "

"Ha ha, Dai Wang is really brilliant. I really admire him! Yes, it's really the idea of others. I don't know, Daiwang. Can you guess who said it Liu said.

Li Hong's head is lying on the table. He thinks about it and thinks about it. Few people are familiar with him in the court? No way. He couldn't let him know about it. Li Yifu? It's impossible. Liu Rengui's words just now have rejected Li Yifu.

Who else, father? My father let himself judge? It's not likely that the father and the emperor are afraid that they will mess around and will not let themselves judge.

Then there is only one person. This person is Xu Jingzong. I'm afraid he is the only one who can come up with such a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Li Hong didn't tell Liu Rengui about his guess. It's better to pretend to be confused about some things. As a child, if his mind is too deep and he knows too much about the courtiers, he may not be good for himself.

"Well, I'll take it. Where is the man now? Did I go through the trial or did you bring someone in? " Li Hong changed the subject and said.

Liu Rengui was stunned at first, then bowed his hand to Li Hong and said, "in the afternoon, I will send people to your house, but I hope the Daiwang will be careful. You can't let her escape from you. The case seems small, but I'm afraid that after finding out, there must be a big secret behind her. I'm afraid this woman is also a key figure. Please be careful and strict It's better to take care of it. "

"Don't worry. Let Bailu and Xiaoxue and Xiaohan take close care of them. Besides, there are a hundred thousand guards outside and inside the mansion. They are not wood."

"Yes, the Daiwang said so. Your majesty ordered his ministers to bring 200 thousand cattle guards to guard Prince Pu's residence. It should be solid and hard to fly. "

After repeated instructions from Liu Rengui and Li Hong, they left Prince Pu's mansion, and Lanling turned back from the workshop in the backyard. Looking at Liu Rengui's departure, he looked at Li Hong and asked, "how did he come here?"

"Auntie, I ask you if you have an affair with monk naweiying Ah Pain, wrong, it's friendship, no, it's Stop pinching. Listen to me Li Hong's ear was pinched by Lanling, whose face was iron green, and he jumped to his feet in pain.
