Chapter 95 Inquiry
After hearing Li Lijun's words, Li Shen was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was saying, clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Wonderful... This statement makes a lot of sense! Maybe... it's the truth?"
If the Pei family is really nailed to the pillar of shame on the charge of "disrespect to the eldest princess Xue", it will be difficult for him to stand up again. If the Pei family wants to defend their children, it is easy to end up as a bad person who allows the children to neglect the eldest princess.
reputation.
The most important thing is that the Pei family's contempt for Princess Xue is proven. No matter how he shirks his responsibility, he can't deny the fact that he passed by the imperial mausoleum drunkenly during the tomb sweeping, not to mention that his carriage contained several
A jar of strong wine. The wine was not completely destroyed by the fire. I guess God couldn't bear it and didn't want to let that playboy continue to be arrogant, right?
Ever since Li Shen knew what Pei Jiazi had done to Lin Jiulang, he had been looking forward to teaching him a profound lesson. Now that Li Lijun has given him a good excuse, how could he not know what to do next?
Li Shen called an attendant and ordered him to go to another corner of the lobby to invite Lin Silang to come and talk.
Lin Silang was already in the lobby before Li Lijun came out, and was entertaining his three colleagues. The four of them were talking in low voices. Li Lijun turned around and looked over, and found that among the three guests, except one with a square face, he had a strange face.
, the other two are somewhat familiar. They are the last two soldiers on patrol in Qiaoling whom I saw last night. One looks like a careless ruffian, and the other is probably the grandson of the Pei family. He also asked Pei
The family attendant revealed Lin Silang's address in Fengxian County.
Lin Silang came to Qiaoling not long ago, but with his family background, ability and character, it is not unusual for him to win over a few close colleagues in a short period of time. His close colleagues knew that he had a rift with the Pei family,
Knowing that something happened to the Pei family, it is normal to rush over early in the morning to report to him. The problem is that the grandson of the Pei family betrayed Lin Silang just last night and traveled thirty miles to find him this morning.
What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd? Is he here to find out information for the Pei family, or does he have other plans?
Li Lijun glanced at the man a few times, but without saying anything, Lin Silang had already arrived at their table.
Lin Silang greeted both Li Shen and Li Lijun. After Li Shen asked people to sit down, he asked: "Silang met your colleagues in Qiaoling. I know the news about the Pei family. Do you know why he passed by the mausoleum late at night?"
Why did you bring so much wine in the carriage?"
Lin Silang raised his eyebrows and answered his question without hesitation. According to the news brought by his colleagues, the chief had already interrogated the servants of the Pei family. It was said that yesterday evening, their group planned to enter the county directly.
, I met a wealthy businessman on the way, and he warmly hosted them for dinner at a nearby manor. There were not only fine wines and delicacies, but also beautiful orchids and maidservants. Several children of the Pei family lingered so much that they almost spent the night in the manor. They were still accompanying them.
The servants reminded the leader of the Pei family that they would pay homage to Princess Xue the next day, so he left with his cousins.
The wealthy businessman had a request from them, but seeing that he could not keep them, they refused to take Hu Ji Mei away on the spot, so they had to promise to send him to the place they designated, and also send a carriage of wine and spices.
The leather goods and silks and satins were said to be the daily expenses of several beauties. But in fact, everyone knew that it was a bribe. Several children of the Pei family had already agreed to the wealthy businessman's request and would arrange a marriage for him.
Opportunity to become an official.
Li Lijun interjected with a puzzled expression: "Is the rich businessman's manor far away from Qiaoling? Otherwise, why don't the Pei family just spend the night there and go to Qiaoling early in the morning, but they have to rush to the county seat overnight? Even if they come
The city gates can’t be opened, so they still have to stay in an inn outside the city?”
Lin Silang answered her with a smile: "I don't know about this either. My colleagues all think that the servants of the Pei family don't want the young masters to stay in the rich businessman's manor and delay this morning's sacrifice.
I just persuaded people to leave."
Comrade Lin Silang at the other end of the hall said loudly: "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case? Maybe they are still thinking about Brigade Lin's little brother, thinking that his servants have captured him, so they rush to beat him for fun.
Woolen cloth!"
Li Lijun followed the sound and saw that it was the ruffian-looking soldier. He blinked: "How did you know?"
The ruffian soldier smiled and hugged the grandson of the Pei family next to him: "My brother is the smartest, he guessed it!"
The grandson of the Pei family flickered, and he broke away with an uncomfortable look on his face: "Shut up! Don't say anything to anyone!" He glanced around vigilantly, as if he was worried that someone would notice what his companion said.
The ruffian soldier didn't care. He really felt that his brother was very smart and his reasoning was the most accurate.
Li Lijun felt that this was probably true. It was not necessarily an inference. Instead, it was possible that the grandson of the Pei family had heard something from the Pei family's entourage. He was secretive, probably because he wanted to hide his relationship with the Pei family.
He wanted to tell the truth, so that Lin Silang wouldn't be suspicious, and he was afraid that the Pei family would hear what he said and bring bad luck to him. They are really not human beings.
Lin Silang just smiled at his comrades, then turned around and said to Li Shen and Li Lijun: "Brothers said this, it's probably true. The Pei family wanted to bring bad luck to my ninth brother. Only after returning to Qiaoling did he discover that my ninth brother
He had escaped safely a long time ago. He was already angry because he could no longer harm my ninth brother, and because the carriage caught fire, he knew that things would get serious. He was so angry that he started talking rudely and nonsense. "
Li Shen sneered: "No matter what the reason was, he was ordered by his elders to come to visit Princess Xue's grave, but he ended up drinking and engaging in sex. He passed by the imperial mausoleum and wanted to kill people. Aunt Xue knew it in heaven, and
How could she not be angry? These are not her direct descendants, but just common people in the Pei family who want to succeed in order to gain the status of a princess descendant. The princess of this dynasty has no worries about having no one to sacrifice her body, so how can she be so strange?
Such a dandy?! Seeing that man repeatedly using his own name to dominate others, I will naturally teach him a lesson!"
Hearing this, Lin Silang understood what Li Shen meant and said with a smile: "The late Emperor must have been unhappy when he saw Princess Xue being so wronged. He sent the fire dragon to burn down a carriage of the Pei family, which was just a warning to the Pei family.
From now on, you just have to observe etiquette. This is because the Pei family has been a high-ranking family for generations and has made a lot of contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, how can those unfaithful and unfilial dandy children survive under the wrath of Thunder?
Are you alive?"
This is even more harsh.
Li Shen felt great that he had met a close friend. He took Lin Silang's hand and smiled and said: "Wonderful! I'm planning to consult with the Pei family. Why don't Silang come and consult for me?"
Lin Silang was very happy, but now he had to entertain his colleagues and inquire for more information, so he asked Li Shen to forgive him for not being able to provide advice to Li Shen until later.
How could Li Shen care? He simply let him go, already thinking about how to draft the memorial.
At this time, Aunt Cui brought a bowl of hot soup cakes to Li Lijun and reminded her in her ear: "The steward sent by the prince is winking at the young lady outside the door. He must be reminding the young lady not to forget
Ask Erlangjun of Prince Zou's Mansion about the old prince's condition."
Li Lijun looked outside the door, and sure enough she saw the middle-aged manager winking. She curled her lips, cleared her throat, and tried to interrupt Li Shen's meditation: "Uncle Shen, are you planning to send someone back to Beijing to deliver that
Are you going to write a memorial or write it after returning to Beijing? You came to Qiaoling this time because you have something serious to do, right?"
Li Shen came back to his senses slightly: "Ah? Ah... yes, I do have business to do. Aweng's tomb has been vacant for many years, and some places are in danger of collapse and need to be rebuilt."
