Chapter 364 Li Zhenglong enters the palace
Li Zhenglong thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang, do you want to inform the eldest princess through me?" He shook his head and said, "Although the eldest princess is my aunt, she has a strange temper. I am afraid... this case is better to suppress it."
Yang Ze sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't hold it for a long time. This matter has caused a lot of controversy. Half of Chang'an people know that if the lower-ranking officials have been suppressed for too long, it's a difficult time to explain it in the future. For the reputation of Dugu's son-in-law, the lower-ranking officials cut off a confused case and wanted to get along with the poor, but they were afraid that the victims of the family would disagree. So... they invited them all to the county government and wanted to wait until the limelight was over before they could release them. I guess they could spend some money to block the victims' mouth!"
Li Zhenglong frowned. If his son dies, can he keep his mouth shut with his money? Then he can only pay more money... Hey, why should I find a way for Dugu Baoqiao? He is the eldest princess's son-in-law, not my son-in-law!
Suddenly, Li Zhenglong understood that the taste was coming. Yang Ze used this case to bring him a knife. This was the opportunity to kill Dugu Baoqiao and then become the eldest princess!
As soon as he figured it out, Li Zhenglong knew what to do. It was a good thing. It seemed that Yang Ze was very good. Although he was from the eldest prince Li Yan, he was approaching his sect. Where can I find such a person? Anyway, as long as he was against the eldest princess, the enemy would be his helper!
Of course, Li Zhenglong would not regard Yang Ze as a friend, but only as a helper. Since he had sent all the knife, if he didn't catch it, he would be too stupid. He was not a qualified competitor to the crown prince!
Li Zhenglong said: "You can't blame you for being confused about this. If I had encountered such a case, what else could I do except pretending to be confused? Why not do this? Let me go to the palace to report this to the emperor, explain it clearly for you, and also exonerate the Dugu son-in-law. After all, it was a relative, and he was a member of the emperor's clan."
Yang Ze hurriedly said, "If this can be done, it would be great!" He pointed at He Xiangdong again and said, "Then, the little prince, see how to arrange this person..."
He Xiangdong immediately became nervous. He hoped to enter the Linzi Palace and be a housekeeper for Li Zhenglong. Even if he couldn't become a housekeeper, he would do anything else. In short, he could hold the prince's thick legs. He would not have to worry about his life in the future!
Li Zhenglong glanced at He Xiangdong and thought to himself: "This kind of person can betray Dugu Baoqiao today and betray me tomorrow. I have to arrange it. Humph, why not kill me directly."
He thought so in his heart, but he wouldn't say that. He said, "It's better to do this. You should first arrange him well. This person has made merits and should be rewarded for merits later. How to make arrangements in the future depends on how great his merits have been!"
Yang Ze immediately said, "Yes, you must first achieve merits when rewarding merits." He turned to He Xiangdong and said, "Think about it carefully, what else has Dugu Baoqiao done. Let's talk about it together, so that you can arrange a vocational position for you in the future."
He Xiangdong thought to himself: "I have never seen Dugu Baoqiao. Where did I know what he has done? But anyway, it's nonsense, so let's make more of it. Anyway, the King of Linzi also wants to fix Dugu Baoqiao, so I've seen it long ago!"
Although he didn't know how Li Zhenglong wanted to mess with others, he could do it nonsense!
He Xiangdong said: "The Dugu Prince Consort... likes strong men, but this is just a rumor. The villain has never arranged it for him. This... is hard to say."
Li Zhenglong's eyes immediately widened. He looked at He Xiangdong's expression and said this was obviously nonsense, but if this was processed... it was very good, whether it was true or false, what was important was the word "rumor". Anyway, no one could find out the evidence.
Yang Ze rebuked: "You are talking nonsense, why don't you go out and wait!"
He Xiangdong had to leave the study room and wait outside. He also knew that Yang Ze wanted to say some secret words to Li Zhenglong, so he could only wait patiently outside the door.
Li Zhenglong circled a few circles on the ground and said, "If I go to the emperor to talk about this, I'm afraid it's a bit abrupt. I'll give the emperor a feeling of saying bad things about Dugu Baoqiao. Even if I use the name of pleading for him, this will not work. The emperor will still think that I'm sowing discord. Is there any good way for you?"
Queen Dugu is his emperor's grandmother. He doesn't know anything about his temper. That's the most suspicious thing. He doesn't usually go to the palace. Of course, Queen Dugu didn't summon him. If he went rashly today and talked about this matter, it would have to arouse Queen Dugu's disgust. Then wouldn't he backfire. He could harm others, but he had to benefit himself!
Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Didn't the little prince say last time that he wants to meet the little princess Caicai in advance? Why not enter the palace this time in the name of seeing her and then tell him about this case. Some of these words Caicai will pass on you. At that time, what the emperor asked you again, but you didn't mention it to her on your own initiative!"
Li Zhenglong was overjoyed. This method was a good one. It was a killing two birds with one stone. He could go to see Caicai, the emperor girl, and complain about Dugu Baoqiao, and implicate the eldest princess. How could such a good thing be done?
He thanked him repeatedly, and planned to change his clothes. He went into the palace now, and he couldn't wait.
Seeing that he was anxious, Yang Ze hurriedly said, "Little Prince, you can't go into the palace like this. Even if someone informed me, Princess Caicai may not meet you. She has not been officially recognized by the emperor yet, so it seems that no other relative has seen her except the eldest princess!"
Li Zhenglong said, feeling a little difficult, but then he became happy again. No other relative had ever seen the little princess Caicai, and he could go and talk about family affection in advance!
He looked at Yang Ze and smiled and said, "How can I see the little princess Caicai? Brother Yang also needs to teach me!"
With Yang Ze, Cai Cai's good friend, he still needs to worry about how to meet Cai Cai. Of course, Yang Ze has to think of him.
Yang Ze said: "The little prince can ask someone to tell the little princess Caicai, and he said that Yang Ze was in trouble and wanted to ask him what he meant. The little prince was asked by the Xiaguan to pass the message on behalf of the Xiaguan. In this way, the little princess Caicai will definitely meet the little prince, but it made the little prince a runner-up, but he raised the low official, and the low official felt very sorry!"
Li Zhenglong laughed and said, "I am willing to run for you with this leg. I want to see Cai Cai early. So, I will say that when I enter the palace!"
Yang Ze said a few more words, discussed with Li Zhenglong how to "please" for Dugu Baoqiao. Then he said goodbye, took He Xiangdong out of the royal palace and rushed back to Wannian County.
He Xiangdong was anxious. He betrayed the eldest princess's faction. If he could not successfully join the Princess, his life would not be saved. He asked tentatively: "Master Yang, villain... I don't know what the King of Linzi wants to do, no matter what the villain does. The villain will definitely work hard!"
"The little prince said you don't see other people first. I told him that you want to go to the royal palace to be a manager, but the little prince said that the manager is a servant after all, and it is not enough to repay your contribution, so I plan to give you a small official. Of course, it is impossible to be too high, but the county magistrate is still okay. He is not an official in the capital, and the water here is too deep. Let you stay away from the place of right and wrong and go to a wealthy county town in another place... Alas, I forgot to ask you if you want to be an official?"
He Xiangdong was ecstatic. He never expected that he would have an official job, and this was the smoke from the ancestral grave!
He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, thank you Lord Yang for your kindness. I will always remember it in my heart and never forget it!" He was so excited that he couldn't think of any good words, so he could only keep thanking him.
Yang Ze nodded, encouraged him a few words, and took him back to the county government. At this time, Fu Bingrong had already interrogated the Feng family and Li family members clearly. Both families were taking money. Now that something happened, it was impossible to be too stubborn. Of course, if they knew that the person behind the scenes was the eldest princess, then their mouths would be very hard. With a big backer, they would not believe that Yang Ze, a small county magistrate, would dare to do anything to them.
But the problem is that they don’t know who the person instructed behind them is, so Fu Bingrong ordered the Xibing of Zhen to send his fists and boards down, and they would say whatever they had. The whole case was almost no different from what Yang Ze expected, and even who the lover was said. It was not the turn of the lover to appear yet, but it had been prepared long ago. Fu Bingrong was happy to do things and immediately ordered someone to arrest the lover, and had already captured the lover.
Yang Ze did not interrogate himself. He just asked Fu Bingrong: "That lover and new wife, the case is solved to the end, but they are going to be beheaded. They are considered adulterers and adulters. Even if they give a lot of money, they won't be able to pay their lives. Do they have any intention of regret?"
Fu Bingrong shook his head and said, "It seems that they both seem to be indulging in life. I guess they are too poor to live. If they die, the money they get can make their families live well, then they also think it is worth it."
Yang Ze nodded and said, "It's easy to say about money, we have to let them redeem their confessions!" He gave this order.
Fu Bingrong heard this and smiled and said, "This is a sure thing. What are they doing for? Isn't it just for money? Now that they are giving them money, they don't have to die. How could they not be willing to turn over the confession and bite Dugu Baoqiao? It's really nothing. I don't want my life anymore. Are you still afraid of biting people!" He went to do his business.
Yang Ze felt a little tired, so he went to bed to rest. He estimated that around the afternoon, someone would come to the palace to ask him.
Let’s talk about Li Zhenglong. When he came to the gate of the palace, whether it was the guards guarding the gate or the small eunuchs in the palace, there were all his people who were usually fed.
As soon as Li Zhenglong arrived, a guard leader immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Prince, why did you come to the palace today? I'll inform you now!"
Li Zhenglong said, "The emperor did not summon me, so why did I enter the palace rashly? In fact, I came here today to see the emperor's sister Caicai. She is a little princess and lives in the palace, right?"
The guards' foreman was stunned and looked embarrassed. There was a little princess Caicai in the palace. Of course he knew, but it has not been officially announced yet. He didn't know if Li Zhenglong could enter the palace to see her.
Li Zhenglong knew that he was in a dilemma and said, "You sent someone in and told the little princess that Yang Ze had difficulties. It was just because it was difficult to come to the palace to find her, so I asked me to come to see you. It is inconvenient for me to enter the palace. Can you invite her here to talk?"
