Chapter 149: Ji Ming's party(2/2)
Li Xin laughed dryly and said: "Yesterday I was with Huaiguzi, and it was Huaiguzi that Chun Yuyue was chasing. I just happened to be on the way."
As soon as he said this, another servant ran in and said breathlessly: "Madam, I heard about it. After Dr. Chunyu returned home, he kept scolding him. He was scolding Huaiguzi and my general. It seems that, general
Together with Huaiguzi, we took something from him."
Li Xin gave the servant a sharp look and thought, "Before you report the news, can't you see who is in the yard?"
He racked his brains and explained to Mrs. Li: "Chun Yuyue had a piece of beautiful jade. He would show it off from time to time. Huaiguzi was so angry that he stole it yesterday. I didn't know about it in advance, and I was innocently involved.
…”
Just as he said this, another servant ran in from outside.
Li Xin coughed hard and then stared at the servant.
When the servant saw Li Xin, he immediately shut up and stopped talking.
Mrs. Li shouted coldly: "Tell me! What did you find out?"
The servant looked at Li Xin fearfully, and looked at Mrs. Li even more fearfully, and then said: "I heard about it. There is a maid in Chunyu Yue Mansion, named Zhu'er. She is young, beautiful, clever and cute. Yesterday, the general and Mr. Huai
, broke into Chunyu Mansion. Someone saw with his own eyes that the general took out the bamboo and placed it on his horse."
"Then he galloped straight to Shangjun's courtyard. Dr. Chunyu was furious and led his men to chase him. The villain has not yet found out the rest."
Mrs. Li was already livid with anger. She stared at Li Xin and said, "So, you robbed Chunyu Mansion's maid and lingered in Shangjun until now, right?"
Li Xin explained in a panic: "Listen to me, that girl was not snatched for me, but for Brother Huai. This girl has some skills, which Brother Huai can use. I didn't come back last night. There was an assassin who assassinated Your Majesty.
At that time, three hundred assassins sneaked into Shangjun Courtyard at night..."
Mrs. Li stamped her foot vigorously: "That's enough. The more you talk, the more outrageous and outrageous you are. You lie one after another. Come here, get the wooden stick."
Li Xin was about to cry but couldn't find any tears: "It's all true. You can ask Brother Huai."
At this time, Li Jia came over and whispered: "General, would you like to borrow your leather robe? The hem is thickened."
Li Xin sighed and said, "I suddenly feel a little cold, that's all. Let's get the leather robe."

In the palace, Si Dou reported his investigation results to Ying Zheng: "There should be no relationship between Ji Ming and the assassins last night. That group of assassins were armed with a special kind of crossbow. This kind of crossbow once appeared in Shangjun Villa.
.According to the slave's inference, they should be trying to assassinate Huaiguzi. It's just that His Majesty happened to be in Shangjun's courtyard last night and bumped into them."
After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded and said, "I also think that Ji Ming does not have such courage."
Si Dou added: "But it is true that Ji Ming made friends with Zhao Gao. Ji Ming offered a lot of jewels last night, and Zhao Gao accepted them all."
Ying Zheng sneered: "These courtiers all want to put some spies around me. Can you master the emperor's thoughts and move freely in the court?"
He said to Si Dou: "Choose a reliable person to treat Ji Ming's injuries and take good care of him. This person is still useful."
Si Dou agreed and retreated.
Soon after, the small room where Ji Ming was held was opened. Xiao Yi walked in with alcohol and said, "I'm here to see you."
Ji Ming was moved to tears: "Xiao Yi, yesterday I was beaten severely and forced to reveal my accomplices, but I never mentioned your name. Nowadays, everyone is avoiding me, but you are the only one who risked your life to come see me."
, I feel very relieved."
Xiao Yi said: "You endure the pain, I will treat your injury."
Later, Xiao Yi poured alcohol on Ji Ming's wound.
