Happy Little Scholar
Chapter 919: Game within a game
"Tell me, do you know the girl from the Xiao family?" Fang's sister-in-law looked at Lao Xu and asked aggressively.
Lao Xu secretly glanced at Lao Fang, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and trembled and said: "I..., I..."
Fang's sister-in-law put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Tell me!"
Lao Fang sighed, and just as he took a step, a sigh came to his ear.
The woman next to Fang's eldest sister-in-law sighed leisurely and said: "Cousin, don't worry, I won't cause trouble to your family. I will go back in a few days."
After saying this, everyone present was stunned there.
Lao Fang pursed his lips, confused, and Lao Xu stood there in a daze.
The sister-in-law of the Fang family reacted first, pointing at Old Xu and asking the woman, "Sister, is he the distant cousin you are talking about?"
The woman nodded and said, "If it weren't for the disaster in my hometown, I, I..."
The sister-in-law of the Fang family was already furious, pointing at Old Xu and scolding, "You are so heartless, you forget your poor relatives when you have money, sister, you will stay in our house from now on, we won't bother this heartless guy..."
No matter how stupid Old Xu was, he reacted at this moment, smiling and saying, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I went to Qing'an Prefecture recently, and I just missed Xiaohong. Now that I'm back, I naturally can't bother you anymore..."
But the eldest sister-in-law of the Fang family He ignored her, took her arm, and said, "Come on, sister, ignore them, let's go back and try on the new clothes..."
After that, he glanced at Lao Fang again, paused, and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?"
Lao Fang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up, and sighed, "Today's sun is so strong that my eyes... are sweating."
Miss Liu Er retracted her gaze and said in surprise, "I have been in the village for so many years, why have I never heard that Lao Xu has any distant cousins?"
Li Yi glanced at her, "If they say there are, then there are, why are you worrying about it..."
Miss Liu Er turned her head and looked at him, her expression did not change, but she clenched the sword in her hand.
Li Yi touched his forehead: "Oh, I have to think about it, when will we go to Wuguo to visit my nephew..."
Her chest rose and fell a few times, and after a moment, a forced smile appeared on her face, "I will go to the alliance to train the newcomers and come back later..."
The reason why the martial arts masters who joined the Liu League improved their martial arts skills so quickly is because there are many masters in the alliance. After obtaining enough points, they can exchange for the guidance of these masters. Of course, if these masters are in a good mood, they will also train the newcomers for free. Miss Liu Er is obviously very depressed. Although she doesn't know the reason, the newcomers in the alliance should be careful.
When she was about to go out, a servant of the Li family came to report that Lord Liu from the Ministry of Justice was visiting.
Liu Yishou has been investigating that important case recently. It seems that there has been progress. He gave up the plan to go out, poured two cups of tea, and sat down in the hall.
"Lord Li."
After Liu Yishou came in, he first bowed to him and saluted, and at Li Yi's signal, sat opposite him.
Li Yi picked up the teacup and asked, "But there has been progress in that case."
Liu Yishou nodded and said, "I have had people follow Qin Yu these days. Your Excellency is right. There is indeed something wrong with the Qin family."
"What did you find out?"
"Outside the capital, there is a manor owned by the Qin family under the name of Qin Yan. There are some problems." Liu Yishou's eyes were sharp and he said, "The manor is heavily guarded. Even the masters of the Secret Service Department cannot sneak in. It doesn't look like a private garden for entertainment. On weekdays, those who go in and out of the manor are all dignitaries in the capital. The more so, the more suspicious it looks."
Li Yi was surprised and said, "Even the masters of the Secret Service Department can't sneak in?"
Although there are no masters at the master level in the Secret Service Department, there are many guest officials who are only one step away from the master level. Even they can't sneak in. From this, it can be seen how strict the guards there are. In the whole capital, I am afraid that only the palace and the Heavenly Punishment Department can compare.
Liu Yishou shook his head, thinking of something, and said, "I found some suspicious points in the process of investigating Qin Yu."
"What suspicious points?"
Liu Yishou thought for a while and asked, "Do you know, a few years ago, Qin Yu raped his aunt and committed the crime of adultery, which led to a lot of condemnation in Kyoto..."
Li Yi nodded and said, "I heard that the woman he raped committed suicide because she couldn't bear the humiliation. The Qin family later suppressed the matter..."
"For such a far-reaching matter, even if Qin Xiang is the right prime minister of the dynasty, he can't influence the people's opinions. How can the Qin family suppress it?" Liu Yishou shook his head and said, "This matter is that the Cui family used the power of the Shu King's family, together with countless dignitaries in the capital, to suppress this treasonous matter. Even the queen in the palace made a lot of efforts."
Li Yi knew that Liu Yishou would not bring up this matter for no reason, and waited for him to continue speaking.
"The woman he raped was named Lin Lian. Before entering the Qin residence, she was a famous actress in Kyoto. Later, she was spotted by Qin He, the fifth son of Prime Minister Qin, and taken into his room. Not long after that, that incident happened."
"Lin Lian is not the girl's real name. She was just a student of an actress named Lin in Kyoto. She changed her surname after becoming his apprentice. The actress died early in her life, and the several disciples she accepted in her life had different fates afterwards..."
"That girl Lin Lian is the eldest among her disciples, and has inherited her acting skills. Her youngest disciple has completely inherited her piano skills, and is even better than her own. Therefore, he is very famous in Kyoto..."
…
Li Yi sighed and said: "Her youngest disciple, the girl with outstanding piano skills, should change her stage name to... Lin Shuangshuang, right?"
Liu Yishou nodded and said: "It is the dead girl Shuang Shuang, the girl Lin Qin who was complained by the Ministry of Punishment, and also their fellow sister."
"The people only know that Chu Ping killed Shuangshuang, but they ignore one thing. Shuangshuang was already seriously ill. Even if nothing happened that day, she would only have a few months to live..." Liu Yishou shook his head. , said: "This is not all the doubts. Mr. Zeng said that there was no imperial culprit at all. This matter itself was a trap set up by the Cui family for the Chu family. The Cui family bribed Shuangshuang girls in advance, but their original intention was not To threaten the Chu family with the death of both girls... That night, someone saw Qin He, the fifth master of the Qin family, getting drunk in the restaurant opposite the Miaoyin Pavilion... Your Excellency once said that there are many coincidences. It’s not a coincidence.”
Li Yi shook his head and said, "So, this is not a trap set by the Cui family for the Chu family."
Liu Yishou looked at him, nodded and said, "This is a trap set up by someone for the Cui family and the Chu family."
"The Chu family has been deposed, and the Cui family has lost an arm." Liu put down the tea cup and said, "Although Prime Minister Qin has not had much contact with the Cui family in the past year, the connection between the two families is still inseparable. Qin If something happens to the family, the Cui family will really lose their hands..."
He raised his head and murmured: "This Fifth Master Qin, what does he want to do?"
…
Fang family.
The Fang family's sister-in-law and the woman walked into the house arm in arm, and Lao Fang came in carrying large and small bags.
"Close the door." Fang's sister-in-law said suddenly.
"It's broad daylight, why are you closing the door?" Lao Fang muttered, put down the things in his hands, and closed the door.
The Fang family's sister-in-law let go of the woman's hand, looked at the two of them, and asked with a cold face: "When did you start?"
