Chapter 2486: The Trap

Li Jingnian felt that he was wronged, so he argued loudly.

"I have returned all the family property, and I don't even care about the children at home who are crying for food. I just want to make up for my mistakes. Isn't it enough?"

In the front hall, Li Jingnian stood in the middle, pointing sadly at a boy being held by a woman next to him, and said, "Do you want Li to have his heart dissected?"

Li Ermao glanced at the boy and said, "Li Jingnian, who are you, Li Jingtang?"

Li Jingnian blinked and said in surprise: "Li Jingtang? That's my cousin, but he is far away in Henan, and we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Ermao nodded noncommittally and continued to ask: "Really? Then I ask you, how did Liang Zhi, the colleague of Qingzhou Prefecture, die?"

Li Jingnian said in shock: "Liang Zhi is in charge of grain...didn't he commit suicide?"

Li Ermao said coldly: "We are bringing a widow from the capital. This is probably something you didn't expect."

Li Jingnian still persisted in his defense: "I and Na Liangzhi have not met since the incident. Mr. Li, what do you want me to admit?"

Li Ermao glanced outside and sighed in disappointment: "Do you want to wait for Marquis Taining to come and save you? I am also waiting for him, but looking at the current situation, Marquis Taining has disappointed you and me. "

Li Jinnian felt cold in his heart and asked, "Do Master Li and Marquis Taining have any grudges?"

Li Ermao shook his head and said: "You used Liang Zhi to exchange for your escape, but you sent someone to kill him so that he could not tell the money transactions between you and your cousin. Li Jingnian, you are indeed brave and careful, but You underestimated Jin Yiwei’s ability.”

He wanted to wait for Chen Zhong to come, so that he could be buried in one fell swoop.

What a pity!

Li Ermao said: "The financial transactions between you and your cousin have long been watched by Jin Yiwei. Now that the case has been revealed, do you still want to quibble?"

"That master craftsman is also a member of Jinyiwei. He easily found clues that Liang Zhi was strangled to death. Li Jingnian, now you can't even be exiled!"

…

Chen Zhong didn't come. After his staff came back and said that Li Ermao led people to ransack Li Jingnian's house, he sat in front of the hall and looked at the clear sky quietly.

The three staff members were anxiously discussing countermeasures in the back, hoping that Chen Zhong would not be implicated, but after much deliberation, they did not think of anyone to ask for help.

Chen Zhong suddenly sighed slightly and said: "Who will cause trouble for ourselves at this time? We can only save ourselves."

He turned around and saw that the three staff were a little panicked, so he said: "The peaceful days have been too long. Not only have I lost my fighting spirit, but you have also become inactive. It can be seen that people are still born from sorrow and die from happiness."

An aide said: "Master Hou, are you going to find Mr. Jin?"

Chen Zhong shook his head and said: "Jin Youzi has been bewitching scholars everywhere in Shandong recently. Some people are already calling him an old dog and a madman. He is already going crazy. Let's not get into trouble."

"Master Hou, who else is there?"

The three staff members were racking their brains and could not think of anyone who could help them.

"Once this matter is reported, His Majesty will definitely be furious. Being left out in the future is only the second most important thing. The other is that he is afraid of being grounded. That way there will be little room for improvement!"

Chen Zhong took a deep breath and said: "There is no big conflict between me and Fang Xing. The matter between children is just a matter of meeting and smiling. Prepare your horses!"

"Master Hou!"

One of the staff guessed Chen Zhong's plan and said: "This matter should not be touched lightly! He will retaliate for it. There will be no results from this trip. It is better to talk to Li Ermao directly."

Chen Zhong shook his head and said: "Although I have only met him once, I know Li Ermao's temper to some extent, and he should be more ruthless than Fang Xing.

Go and tell Jin Youzi that I have discovered some problems and want to go to Xuzhou to investigate. "

In the end, only one aide was left. He heard some decadence in Chen Zhong's words, and said: "Master Hou, Fang Xing went south to sea this time to avoid disaster, so I thought he would not dare to go too far. The most important thing is to convince Jin Youzi that it is serious to let him suppress Li Ermao! "

Chen Zhong said calmly: "You don't understand. Li Ermao is holding on to me just to stand up for his junior brother Fang Han, otherwise Fang Xing... is wrong..."

The staff also thought of something and said with a shocked expression: "Master Marquis, is this... a trap?"

Chen Zhong said with a pale face: "Impossible, Fang Han's incident happened not long ago. How could Fang Xing know the relationship between me and Li Jinnian?"

The staff member said with an ugly expression: "Master Marquis, if Fang Xing has been digging a hole for you from the beginning, then... where is your Majesty?"

"He first needs to know the relationship between you and Li Jingnian, and then he needs to get His Majesty to assign you to handle this case, Mr. Marquis... Your Majesty."

Chen Zhong's expression remained unchanged, and he forced himself to be calm and said: "This is what I thought of, so I went after Fang Xing."

"After the Feng family incident, Fang Xing died down. I thought he was afraid of me... but now it seems that he is looking for an opportunity to bury me without anyone saying anything."

"He is indeed well-meaning and has a fatherly heart."

Chen Zhong ordered: "Let people return to Beijing to report and deal with Zhou Dong!"

The staff immediately wrote a letter, and soon Jin Youzi also agreed that Chen Zhong went to Xuzhou to investigate, so Chen Zhong set off on the road with a group of servants.

But when he chased all the way to the seaside, he could only look at the ocean and sigh.

"Master Marquis, His Royal Highness the King of Han, Xing Hebo and his party went to sea yesterday."

"Are you hiding from me?"

Chen Zhong was a little desperate, but the waves gently lapped the shore, but there was no response.

…

The fleet moved forward slowly on the sea, not very fast. But compared with horseback riding, sailing does not need to worry about the fatigue of the people and horses. As long as there are no problems with strong winds and ocean currents, you can continue until the end.

Zhu Gaoxu was in a low mood and drank all day long.

There are many ways to drink wine. The one used by the most powerful people is Hongxiu pouring wine, which means that everyone will get drunk even if the wine is not intoxicating.

Boom!

The small jar was smashed to pieces on the deck. Zhu Gaoxu kicked the boat and cursed: "Where's the wine?"

He turned around and saw Fang Xing, then his eyes averted for a moment and he said, "Why are you here if you don't want to watch the fleet?"

Fang Xing raised his head slightly and looked to the side, and said, "Your Highness, drink less."

The sea water was blue and the sun was warm, but Zhu Gaoxu cursed: "How can we have fun without drinking? Get out!"

This was one of the few times when he scolded Fang Xing. According to Fang Xing's urine, he should have treated him with a cold face.

"Your Highness, have some wine."

Zhu Gaoxu has been drinking since departure, and he always drinks high-strength liquor.

Fang Xing waved, and someone brought a jar of wine and a large bowl of ice cubes.

"This wine tastes sour when you drink it. It's better to add some ice. At least it won't hurt your teeth."

Zhu Gaoxu stared at Fang Xing with some anger.

"Some people say that wine is so noble, but after drinking a lot of it, I think it's just fruit wine, and it's also sour. It's far worse than white wine."

Fang Xing filled the glass with wine, added a piece of ice, and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu.

He also picked up the wine glass, sniffed it pretendingly, then took a sip and said: "The sour taste is not very obvious, but it is still fruit wine, and..."

"taste not good!"

Zhu Gaoxu drank it all in one gulp, then chewed ice cubes and said disdainfully: "Only women drink this kind of wine."

"Call her!"

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shouted loudly, and Chang Jianxun immediately went to the cabin.

Later he came out with a woman.

The woman was wearing a crimson robe. The robe was simple. In Fang Xing's opinion, it was just a piece of fabric cut out, barely covering her body.

"I've met His Highness, I've met my uncle."

In early summer, the spring breeze comes leisurely.

The woman was slightly curt, leaning forward, and her V-shaped collar was filled with white greasy.

Fang Xing looked at the white greasy mass indifferently and said, "Is Your Highness planning to eat and wait to die?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything, he just picked up the jar and poured wine.

Purple wine slipped from his chin, like blood shining in the sunset.
