Chapter 54 I am investigating the case, please cooperate with the prince
After leaving the British government, Xue Yujin was a little scared. If Su Dingfang was really convicted, the British government would probably be implicated.
And the person who brought Su Dingjie to the British government was herself!
Thinking of this, she was filled with horror and regret, spanked her beloved horse's butt as hard as she could, and ran towards Duke Zhou's mansion.
When she arrived outside the mansion, the guards outside recognized her and let her in directly.
She hurried all the way to the lobby. After a while, Qiu Chan came in from the side door and said with a smile: "Miss Xue, why are you here again? My father-in-law hasn't gotten up yet!"
Xue Yujin became furious and shouted: "My butt is on fire, and he is still sleeping!" As he said this, he rushed towards the inner courtyard.
Qiu Chan knew she couldn't stop her, so she ordered a servant to call Han Cheng. Xue Yujin was stopped by Han Cheng halfway through.
Xue Yujin said anxiously: "Don't stop me. Something happened to the British government. Please ask Mr. Wu to follow me to save people!"
Han Cheng was slightly startled, frowned and said, "I understand. Just calm down for a moment. I'll wake the father-in-law up." He turned around and left.
Xue Yujin returned to the lobby and waited.
After a while, Wu Chengsi hurried to the lobby while putting on his clothes. In his anxiety, he even lost one of his shoes. Qiu Chan chased him from behind with his other shoe.
"Miss Xue, what happened to the British government?" Wu Chengsi asked while putting on his shoes.
Xue Yujin hurriedly talked about the affairs of the British government, and missed some small details during the process. Thanks to Tian Cang behind her, she added some words.
After Wu Chengsi finished listening, he folded his arms and remained silent.
"What else are you thinking about? Come with me quickly!" Xue Yujin said eagerly.
Wu Chengsi shook his head: "It's useless for me to go there now. Yuan Gongyu and the others were probably blocked by Li Sikong and did not dare to break into the Duke's Mansion to search. The three prime ministers sent people to invite the prince. Li Sikong and
What you said probably means that you want me to find a way to stop the prince."
"Then let's set off quickly to stop the prince!"
Wu Chengsi waved his hand and said: "It's useless. Even if we block the prince, they can still invite the queen. Based on my understanding of the queen, even if Li Sikong has always supported her, as long as she finds out that Su Dingjie is in the Li Mansion, she will not
I will send Li Sikong to Yingzhou again."
Xue Yujin covered her face and stamped her feet: "It's all my fault. It's all my fault for taking Su Dingjie to Zhiying's house. It was me who harmed her...it was me who harmed her..."
Wu Chengsi glanced at her and thought to himself: "Looking at her normal demeanor, I don't think she has such a fragile side." He waved his hand and said, "Okay, if you have time to cry, you might as well find a way to make up for it!
"
"Who is crying!" Xue Yujin wiped the corners of his eyes and asked, "Is there any way?"
"Let me think about it." Wu Chengsi walked back and forth with his arms crossed, and Xue Yujin's big eyes followed him around.
Not long after, Wu Chengsi's eyes flashed and he ordered: "Guard Han, go find Princess Taiping immediately and ask her to go to the British Duke's Mansion immediately. Butler Wen, go find Uncle Le Shou and ask him to lead a team of Jinwu guards.
, waiting one mile outside the British Government House."
The two of them took the order and went.
"What about us?" Xue Yujin asked.
"Let's stop the prince and delay it!" Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice.
…
On the official road in the north of the city, the carriage of Prince Li Hong was heading towards the British Palace. Inside the carriage, Li Hong worriedly said: "After all, the British Duke is the pillar of the country, and both his mother and father respect him very much. What will happen to our past when we mobilized troops like this?
Wouldn’t it be bad?”
Prince Zhan Shidai Zhide said: "Your Highness, don't worry. If you do this, the Queen and Your Majesty will only be happy."
"Why do you say this?" Li Hongqi asked.
Dai Zhide cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness has always been kind and generous, which is a good thing. However, as a prince, you also need to have the majesty to intimidate the ministers. This incident is a good opportunity."
Li Hong was surprised and said: "Do you want me to take advantage of the British public authority?"
"It's not for use." Dai Zhide said seriously: "The three prime ministers invited you to come together. I believe that Li Ji hid the Su family. The three prime ministers did not invite the empress and your majesty. It was out of kindness that they wanted to I leave you this opportunity to establish your authority."
"Yes, but Li Sikong has made great contributions to the court after all. Let's negotiate with him secretly and ask him to hand over the Su family. Why bother to go to war?" Li Hong hesitated.
"Your Highness, think about it carefully. If Su Dingfang is really treasonous, Li Ji's behavior is treasonous. This man is very prestigious in the army. If he causes rebellion, he will cause great harm!"
Li Hong sighed and said: "Well, Li Sikong has always known the way forward and retreat, and is shrewd and cautious. How could he do such a thing this time?"
At this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the carriage, and then the carriage stopped. The voice of Prince Zuowei led Qi Feng sounded outside the carriage: "Your Highness, Duke Zhou Guo and the Lord of Pingyang County are stopping the carriage to ask for an audience?"
Dai Zhide said: "Let them get out of the way quickly, Your Highness has urgent matters to deal with!"
"Slow down." Li Hong interrupted: "It's rare for my cousin to come to see me. There must be something important. It's better to meet him."
Dai Zhide advised: "Your Highness, there are priorities, let's go to the British government first, and then deal with other things when we come back?"
"This..." Li Hong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay then." He opened the curtain and said to Qi Feng, "Tell Duke Zhou that I have something important to do right now, so that he can go to the East Palace to wait. "
Qi Feng took the order, but not long after, he returned to the carriage and said: "Your Highness, Duke Zhou said that he is here to investigate the case."
"What case are you investigating?" Li Hongqi asked.
Dai Zhide said angrily: "Your Highness, you have seen that just because you have been too generous for a long time, these ministers have begun to pay less and less attention to you, and they actually investigated the case and found your fault!"
He turned to Qi Feng and said: "Go and tell Wu Chengsi to get out of the way quickly. If you dare to block the car again, Your Highness will punish him!"
Qi Feng glanced at Li Hong and saw that he didn't speak, so he took the order.
Soon, he came back and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, Dai Zhan is concerned. Duke Zhou showed the gold medal given by the Queen and asked us to cooperate with him in investigating the case!"
Both Li Hong and Dai Zhide were taken aback. Dai Zhide hurriedly asked: "What kind of important case is it that has alarmed the Queen?"
Li Hong was always most afraid of Empress Wu, so he got off the carriage directly, and Dai Zhide followed him out. When they came to the front of the carriage, they saw Wu Chengsi and Xue Yujin leading a group of cavalry blocking the way.
Seeing Li Hong coming, Wu Chengsi and others dismounted their horses together, bowed their hands and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Dai Zhide said with a livid face: "Duke Zhou, what case are you investigating, and it has been found on His Highness?"
Wu Chengsi glanced at Dai Zhide and remembered that when eating in the East Palace, the old man often made things difficult for him, so he ignored him and said with cupped hands: "Excuse me, Your Highness, is there an official named Gao Funan in the East Palace?"
Li Hong nodded and said: "Yes, he is the school secretary of this palace. What's wrong with him?"
Wu Chengsi said in a deep voice: "He is dead."
Li Hong was stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment. Dai Zhide was shocked and angry: "Who killed him?"
"It was very likely that he was killed by An Yuan Wang Yuan's son." Wu Chengsi replied.
Dai Zhide snorted coldly: "In that case, as a young minister of Dali Temple, why are you here if you don't want to capture Yuan Nanchan?"
Wu Chengsi said calmly: "According to my investigation, Gao Funan is secretly communicating with Prince An Yuan, and Prince An Yuan is likely to be related to General Su's case. Therefore, I think it is best for His Highness the Crown Prince to know about this matter in advance."
Li Hong was stunned and said: "Cousin, what do you mean..."
"Gao Funan is probably a craftsman sent by Goryeo!"
Dai Zhide said sternly: "That's nonsense. Gao Funan is a proton sent by Goryeo. How can it be possible that he is a traitor?"
Wu Chengsi sneered and said: "If I didn't have important evidence, how could I say nonsense? I wanted to kindly remind the prince and let you make preparations. Since the prince doesn't appreciate it, then I don't have to worry too much!"
After saying that, he got on his horse, waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Xue Yujin glanced at Wu Chengsi and was secretly surprised by his attitude towards the prince.
Li Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to hold his reins and shouted: "Cousin, don't be angry, don't be angry, what is going on, please tell me in detail!"
