Compared with Wu Mei, Li Zhi doesn't have to worry too much.
According to Wu Chengsi's understanding of him, he should have forgotten who Wang Bo was long ago and would not be blamed for such a trivial matter.
Next, we just need to find a way to collect evidence of Xu Jingzong's crime.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, he told the Wu family's children not to impeach Xu Jingzong for the time being.
Fighting with Xu Jingzong now has no effect. Only when Wu Zetian believes that Xu Jingzong is the culprit and then impeaches him, Wu Zetian will be able to easily remove Xu Jingzong's accomplices.
Not long after the Wu family left, Zhang Long, the steward of the Li Mansion, suddenly asked for an audience, and Wu Chengsi received him in the lobby.
Zhang Long cupped his hands and said, "Sir, my master would like you to come over."
Wu Chengsi was slightly startled and asked, "Why did he invite me over?"
"It has something to do with Xu Jingzong." Zhang Long said seriously.
Wu Chengsi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Li Ji couldn't cure the Korean.
It was expected that Li Ji must have received the news that Xu Jingzong had done something to him, so he sent someone to remind him.
I followed Zhang Long to the British government palace. It was Shenshi.
Under the leadership of Zhang Long, Wu Chengsi came to the study room of the palace. Unexpectedly, in addition to Li Ji, Li Jingxuan and Liu Rengui were also here.
After Zhang Long brought Wu Chengsi in, he exited the study and closed the door.
Li Ji did not exchange much greetings and said bluntly: "Chengsi, Xu Jingzong and Yuan Gongyu want to attack you and me behind our backs. Do you know?"
Wu Chengsi was slightly surprised, Xu Jingzong actually took action against Li Ji? Ah, yes, he must have thought that Li Ji also wanted to reverse Su Dingfang's case because of Su Dingjie's incident.
"I know." Wu Chengsi replied.
Li Ji walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "They both knew they had offended me, and I would never give up in the future, so they struck first. You are the son-in-law of my Li family, and you are also my son-in-law." The DPRK and China’s strong support has actually harmed you.”
Wu Chengsi was stunned again, and soon understood: "Li Ji didn't know that Xu Jingzong was the mastermind behind the frame of Su Dingfang, and thought Xu Jingzong took action this time because of Su Dingjie's matter." He couldn't help but secretly laugh.
Just as he was about to explain, Liu Rengui said solemnly: "Xu Jingzong and Yuan Gongyu have been doing all kinds of things over the years. One is lustful, the other is greedy for money, and their attitude has been very bad. Now that Li Sikong has finally made up his mind, let's get rid of these two people together." cancer!"
Li Ji sighed, cupped his hands and said, "I rejected Brother Liu's proposal to deal with these two people before, but now Brother Liu is willing to help regardless of past grudges. Mr. Li is so ashamed."
Liu Rengui waved his hand and said: "You and I have only a few years to live. If I can do something for the country before I die and leave a better country to future generations, I will ask for nothing."
Wu Chengsi suddenly felt respectful, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Liu is a righteous man, and I respect you for being a late man. However, there is something I need to tell you."
Immediately, the murder cases of Hanlin Academy, Li Yuan, and Gao Funan were discussed in detail.
"...Koryeo people, Khitan people, and Baekje people were all involved in this case. According to my investigation, they all went for General Su, and there was an important official in the court who colluded with them. That person should be Xu Jingzong!"
Liu Rengui slapped the table and said angrily: "It turns out that he was behind the scenes to frame Brother Su. This thief actually colluded with foreigners to frame the pillars of the country. I can't wait to eat his flesh alive!"
Wu Chengsi saw that his eyes were as wide as copper bells, his head was filled with anger, and his beard was raised. He secretly praised in his heart: "He is indeed a fierce general who defeated the Japanese country at the mouth of Baijiang River."
Li Ji's mind was spinning and he thought: "No wonder Wu Chengsi made so much noise in the city today. It turns out that he has been secretly investigating Su Dingfang's case under the Queen's instructions."
He finally understood why Li Jingxuan suddenly came over and took the initiative to form an alliance with him, and he must have known this.
"Chengsi, in that case, you and I will divide our work. You will continue to investigate the case, and the three of us will be responsible for containing Xu Jingzong and Yuan Gongyu in the court." Li Ji said solemnly.
Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you three."
Li Ji patted his arm and said with a smile: "I am waiting for myself, so there is no need to say thank you. By the way, when Zhiying learned that you sent a patient, she offered to treat that person. Her golden needle acupuncture technique If you are not under me, go and take a look."
Liu Rengui also took a few steps forward, patted Wu Chengsi on the shoulder and said: "I heard a lot of rumors about you before, and thought you were a playboy. When I met you today, I realized that many of the rumors were untrue. I will be needed in the future. Just ask." After saying that, he strode out of the study.
His slap was much heavier than that of Li Ji. Wu Chengsi was shaken in place by the slap, and felt a burning pain in his shoulder. If he didn't respect the old man as a human being, he would have promised to slap him back.
Li Jingxuan bowed his hands to Wu Chengsi and Li Ji, and said with a smile: "But if you have an assignment, just send someone to inform me. In addition, according to the news I have received, General Su will arrive in the capital tomorrow."
After leaving the study, Li Ji took Wu Chengsi to a private room in the backyard. The Korean was lying on the bed. Li Zhiying was giving him an acupuncture while Zheng Lingxuan and Li Siwen were watching.
After the two entered the room, Li Siwen was about to speak when Li Ji made a silent gesture and slowly walked to the bedside to watch.
Wu Chengsi looked around and saw more than a dozen golden needles inserted into the back of the Korean woman. Li Zhiying continued to insert the needles with full concentration. There were beads of sweat on her glistening forehead. It could be seen that this treatment method was extremely labor-intensive.
After about a stick of incense, Li Zhiying said tiredly: "His life has been saved. He will wake up after two more days of injection."
She took the handkerchief handed over by Hong Ming and was about to wipe her forehead when Li Zhiying realized that Wu Chengsi and Li Ji had both come over. She was surprised and said, "Grandpa, Mr. Wu, when did you come?"
Li Ji smiled and said: "I just came here a while ago. Yes, it seems that the medical skills I taught you are not in ruins."
"Thank you so much, Miss Zhiying." Wu Chengsi cupped his hands and thanked her.
Li Zhiying's cheeks turned red and she whispered: "Young Master Wu, you're welcome. I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest." She slowly left the room.
Li Ji took Wu Chengsi's arm and said with a smile: "Chengsi, how about you go for a walk with me?"
Wu Chengsi responded, winked at Zheng Lingxuan, and followed Li Ji out. The two walked in the large garden in the backyard. Li Ji didn't speak, so Wu Chengsi followed behind silently.
Soon, the two walked through the flowers and came to a corridor in the middle of the lake.
Li Ji looked at the calm lake water and sighed: "Zhiying was born with a strange disease. Her body was several times weaker than that of ordinary children. A cold wind could almost kill her. Her parents passed away early. In order to cure her disease, I almost traveled all over the country."
Wu Chengsi was slightly surprised, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this?
Compared with these things, he was more concerned about the case at hand and thought: "I wonder how Zhugenan's interrogation went. Have those foreigners been recruited?"
Li Ji continued: "It's a pity that all the doctors couldn't figure out the cause of her illness. In order to treat her, I read medical books and searched for precious medicinal materials everywhere. Unknowingly, I went further and further in the medical field. Later, some famous doctors I can also cure incurable diseases, but it’s a pity that I am still unable to do anything about Zhiying’s disease.”
So this is how you got your medical skills? Wu Chengsi was secretly surprised.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he wanted to go back to the case and thought to himself: "Even if there are testimonies from foreigners, it may not be possible to convict Xu Jingzong. When Xu Jingzong contacted these people, it was definitely not him. With his cunning, he would never leave evidence."
"One winter, the weather was extremely cold, and Zhiying caught wind and cold again. No matter how much medicine I gave her, her health became worse and worse. Just when I was desperate, Sun Simiao came to see me!"
Hearing Sun Simiao's name, Wu Chengsi was slightly startled and asked: "So it was Master Sun who cured Miss Zhiying?"
"No, even Master Sun couldn't find out the cause of Zhiying's disease, but he had seen a patient before who had the same condition as Zhiying. He treated that patient for ten years and finally cured him using the technique of passing golden needles through acupoints." Li Ji replied leisurely.
Wu Chengsi was shocked. Sun Simiao actually spent ten years of his life just to treat one patient!
Thanks to his long life, he lived for more than 140 years. Otherwise, how many more decades would there be in his life?
Li Ji added: "Mr. Sun learned about me and Zhiying from others, and took the initiative to come to treat Zhiying. I would watch every time he performed acupuncture, and he never avoided me. Three years later, I learned how to use his golden needles to pass the acupuncture points, so I no longer bothered Mr. Sun and applied the acupuncture myself."
Wu Chengsi had to lament that the ancients were indeed very perseverant in doing things. Li Ji's technique of passing golden needles through acupuncture points was actually learned in this way.
