Ji Yunshu knew who the murderer was!
The glowing powder had proved her guess.
Jing Rong watched as the powder spread far into the distance …
It gradually disappeared.
It was obvious that Ji Yunshu didn't sprinkle much powder.
The murderer would only drop powder when he was exercising vigorously.
Li Cheng quickly lit the extinguished lantern and pointed anxiously into the distance. "What are we waiting for? Hurry up and look for the light spots! We can find the murderer this way. "
Following the powder was the right choice!
They could find the murderer this way.
But …
Jing Rong said, "There isn't much powder, and there is wind here. The powder will definitely be blown away by the wind. There is no way to follow it."
"Then what should we do?" Li Cheng turned to look at Ji Yunshu. "Didn't you say that you already know who the murderer is? Then let's hurry to the yamen and ask Lord Zhuo to arrest the murderer! "
He was very anxious.
Ji Yunshu was worried.
She said, "So what if I know who the murderer is? There are still a lot of things I don't understand. "
"What do you mean?"
"I want to confirm one more thing!"
…
Hu Yi calmed down.
At Marquis Pingyang's mansion.
Marquis Pingyang, Li Wenshi was entertaining a guest in his mansion.
The guest was none other than his old friend, Gong Chi.
Gong Chi was now an internal minister of Huyi and was given the title of Left Prime Minister! Decades ago, he and Li Wenshi were in the same military camp. They were both young generals and good brothers who went through life and death together. They went to the battlefield together and weathered the storm together. Twenty years ago, he and Li Wenshi were both important ministers who helped the current King of Huyi. They could be said to be the founding ministers of the country.
！ Therefore, when the King of Huyi ascended the throne, he was given the title of Left Prime Minister. He was equivalent to the head of the civil officials and directly answered to the King of Huyi.
Now, the two of them were very important officials in the court.
Even the King of Huyi had to give them face.
The two of them could be said to be of the same breath in the court and controlled most of the court.
Today, Li Wenshi specially invited Gong Chi to his mansion for tea. Although he said it was for tea, he had another purpose.
A servant brought a pot of hot tea from the kitchen to the pavilion in the courtyard.
He poured tea for the two of them.
Li Wenshi waved his hand and said, "You are not needed here. You can leave now."
"Yes."
The servant put down the tea and left.
Li Wenshi smiled and said to Gong Chi, "General Gong, then this matter is settled."
Gong Chi was also grinning from ear to ear. "Naturally, this matter is settled! Wen Shu is a good girl, it is Shilin's good fortune to have her as his wife. "
"General Gong, what are you saying? Your family's Shilin is a scholar with great talent and looks. Many girls from prestigious families want to marry into your Gong family. But my family's Wen Shu, I'm afraid, is not worthy of Shi Lin. "
"You and I don't need to be so courteous to each other. Now that we have become in-laws, we will be a family from now on."
"Yes, yes, yes." Li Wenshi raised the teacup in his hand. "Come, let's replace wine with tea."
The two of them drank a cup.
Gong Chi put down the teacup and asked with some doubts, "By the way, why haven't Wen Shu and Li Cheng come back for so long?"
Li Wenshi said in a low voice, "It is said that they encountered something on the road and may be delayed for some time. They will probably come back in a few days. You know, Cheng 'er has a wild temper. If he doesn't cause enough trouble on the road, he will feel uncomfortable."
A tone of exasperation at iron not becoming steel!
After listening, Gong Chi said, "In fact, Cheng 'er is very smart, but his temper is a little eccentric. After all, he is still young and doesn't think too much about many things. But after a few years, he will be fine! At that time, he will definitely calm down. You don't have to worry too much. "
"That is true, but … ah, let's not talk about this. Anyway, I just hope that he doesn't cause trouble outside!"
"Cheng 'er knows his limits. He won't cause trouble."
"I hope so!" Li Wenshi sighed.
After Gong Chi finished tasting the tea, he said worriedly, "Wen Shu has stayed in the academy for so long. I don't know if she will adapt after coming back."
"Don't worry about this. Although she left Gao Ding for two years, she is not pretentious like other girls."
"That's true!" Gong Chi said, "If Wen Shu is a man, he must be your right-hand man."
Speaking of this, this was the biggest regret in Li Wenshi's heart. He sighed, "Isn't that right? Wen Shu is not only smart, but also more ambitious than many men. It's just that God is blind and gave her a female body. But since it has come to this, there is no other way. It's just that Cheng 'er is too useless. If he is half as sensible as Wen Shu, I won't do anything for him.
He is so worried about me. "
Li Wenshi had a total of three children! The eldest son, Li Qiao, now held an important position in the court, responsible for protecting King Huyi and the safety of the palace. It could be said that he was the person closest to King Huyi. King Huyi even wanted to recognize Li Qiao as his godson, but at that time, many things were squeezed together, so it was delayed, and King Huyi did not mention it again.
。
Li Wenshi's favorite daughter was Li Wenshu, and the one he worried about the most was his youngest son, Li Cheng.
Gong Chi suddenly asked again, "By the way, have you mentioned this marriage to Wen Shu?"
Li Wenshi shook his head, "Wait for her to come back."
"Will she be unwilling?" "The marriage of children has always been arranged by the parents. Wen Shu has always been a well-behaved child, so she will definitely agree. Moreover, Shilin is a great scholar. Wen Shu likes to read and has liked scholars since she was a child. So, what's wrong with it?" Li Wenshi thought that he understood him very well.
His daughter.
Gong Chi said, "I told Shilin that he has always liked your Wen Shu. When I mentioned this matter, you don't know how happy he was."
"Then when Wen Shu comes back, let's settle this matter as soon as possible, lest a long delay brings trouble."
"That's right."
After talking about the marriage of the two families, it was naturally time to discuss politics.
Gong Chi said, "By the way, recently the King's health has been getting worse and worse. He has summoned me to the palace many times to discuss the succession of the Crown Prince. I dare not mention it too much. I can only listen and say a few words, lest the King becomes suspicious and thinks that I already have an idea." Li Wenshi stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a while, "The King has always been partial to the Third Prince, but the Second Prince is the most suitable candidate for the Crown Prince. This is something everyone knows. In addition, in the past few years, the Second Prince has made countless contributions, and there are more and more people standing behind him.
Although the Third Prince has the King's preference, he is still not as good as the Second Prince in some aspects. The King is not confused. He is just still considering it. There is a great possibility that he will make the Second Prince the Crown Prince. "
"But, you and I are on the Third Prince's side."
Gong Chi said with a warning tone.
