Chapter 355 Who is the most suitable?
At this moment, Zhongyonghou finally breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as his nerves relaxed, Wu Yue began to investigate his bad deeds.These days, many have been sent back to Liuli one after another. Some are from the Hou family who bullied others and robbed women and forced them into prostitution. Some evidence, but these are not enough to kill Zhongyonghou. What Liuli wants is the kind of evidence that can kill him within one or two strokes, so Wuyue has to investigate again.

One day in September, when Qi Yunhao came back at night, he said to Liuli, "Jin Xuan found it!"

It has been three full months since they started looking for Jin Xuan. During these three months, Liuli asked him and Lu Zhao about the search from time to time, but the answers were still in progress. Liu Li couldn't help but her chest trembled, and she stood up immediately: "Where is Uncle Jin?!"

"Now at Lu Zhao's mansion, I will send it to Master Xu to meet them in two days."

"Why don't you come here now?" Liuli was a little anxious.Qi Yunhao quickly supported her: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" He helped her to sit down, tried to slow down his tone, and said: "He was injured a little outside Beijing. When we found him He fainted under the White Horse Temple. We happened to be in the White Horse Temple these few days looking for evidence of the prince's slaughter of the temple. We just heard that the prince had secretly sent someone again, so we lurked in the woods and followed them. Unexpectedly, we found him in a ravine. he."

"Then how do you know that he is Master Jin?" Liuli felt a surge of emotion when he heard that Jin Xuan was injured.

"Of course I know." Seeing her anxious, Qi Yunhao softened his voice more and more, "Do you think we've been working in vain these days? Following the clues provided by Mr. Xu, we not only know his appearance , Knowing his usual attire, described his portrait, and even found a very similar voice, even Xu Shishu said it was very similar."

"Then is he seriously injured?"

"Fortunately, it's just a trauma to the head, and I've already woken up. Doctor Liu has examined it carefully, and there is nothing abnormal. I just need to rest in bed for two days, and then I can get out of bed and move around."

Only then did Liuli heave a sigh of relief, hearing that he was injured, she was really afraid that something might happen to him.

"Now the man has been found, but it's a pity that Uncle Xu still refuses to reveal how to cure the poison of the Holy Majesty. The Holy Majesty has been bedridden for a few days. I'm really afraid that he will not insist on it before we capture the cabinet and the Habayashi Army." live."

Qi Yunhao clasped his hands to support his forehead, voicing a trace of worry.

Liuli fell silent. It is said that when he was so worried, she should have done Xu Yuan's job, let him cooperate with Lu Zhao to get the throne smoothly, and then rehabilitate the Dou family.But she really couldn't say it, the family relationship between her and him could not erase the feud between more than 300 people in a family. He might not seek revenge, but if he wanted to save the lives of his enemies instead, wouldn't it? Is it equivalent to forcing him to betray his surname?
"Uncle Xu is not a hard-hearted person. His being able to come to Beijing with you shows that he did not completely refuse to cooperate with Lu Zhao. It is not convenient for me to persuade you at this level. Why don't you ask Lu Zhao to come up with something that is ashamed of the sinful soul of the Dou family?" Come with sincerity and do something to show him. Literati care about face the most. The person he admires and respects the most in his life is my grandfather. He has also learned my grandpa's dignity as a literati in his bones. You must work harder on this aspect Kung Fu, let him see your sincerity, let him see your character, and then let Lu Zhao show up when he can talk to you."

Qi Yunhao listened carefully and nodded, "Actually, I have often been in contact with him these days. You are right, he has a strong scholarly aura, and he is full of praise for my grandfather, but even though I was familiar with the articles when I was young, after all Not proficient in this way, although Lu Zhao has many aides who specialize in learning, but right now it is inconvenient for others to know him, so it is difficult."

A literati who specializes in learning, and a person who must be reliable and confidential - Du Rui?Liuli suddenly flashed to the scene where Du Rui wanted to win the Grand Scholar Hu Mei for them in Du's house that day as a condition for her not to take risks herself!Yes, right now, when it comes to learning and reliability, there is no one more suitable than Du Rui. He is Xinke Tanhualang, the eldest grandson of the eldest princess, and the aunt and nephew of Princess Yitai. Princess Tai still respects her very much. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to have this indirect relationship?
However, if she recommends Du Rui right now, I'm afraid she will be looked down upon by Qi Yunhao again, but Du Rui can do what he can't do, can he feel comfortable?Maybe what's wrong with me.So when the words came to my lips, I still endured them.

Nowadays, Qi Yunhao almost stays at the mansion at night, because he is afraid that Liuli will give birth at some point, so after he goes out the next day, Liuli writes a note and gives it to Jijiaoer, explaining: "Send it to Prince Qing's mansion Go, be sure to give it to the prince himself. If he is not in the mansion, you will wait until he returns to the mansion. If the general is with him, you will give it to him when the general is not in."

Kikyo recounted it again, and took the note to go.

Lu Zhao happened to be in the mansion at the moment, because Imperial Physician Liu came to give Jin Xuan another follow-up consultation.Hearing that Liuli asked someone to deliver letter paper, she asked someone to bring in Ji Jiaoer.

After Lu Zhao finished reading, the corners of his lips turned up unconsciously, and he was rewarded with orange stalks, then he pondered for a moment, and called someone to say: "Go to the next post to Master Du, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and just say that I am here tonight. Invite tea in the mansion, so he must go to the mansion to talk about it."

After Liuli sent Jijiaoer away, Ruier came with the child in her arms.

Rui'er's child is now more than two months old, named Xu Ge'er, just because her aunt in one of her clans died of her husband, I heard that Rui'er is now a decent lady in charge in Dingbei Palace, so a few days ago She also brought her children to Beijing to seek refuge, and Ruier also planned to return to Chaoqingtang in a few months, so she thought about bringing the child to her aunt, and then begged Liuli for a baby when the child was older. errands.

Although Rui'er is respectable, she is still a servant of others, and when a servant comes to the house, she naturally has to say hello to Liuli.What's more, he plans to work in the palace in the future?So today's visit is to bring people here for Liuli's purpose.

Liuli looked at brother Xu first, but he was fat and cute, so he was carried down, and then she looked at the woman again.He is about thirty years old, not outstanding in appearance, but he can be seen to be a particular person. He is neatly tidied up and down, and even the patch stitches on the cuffs are extremely well-proportioned and fine.The eldest son of a pair of children is Lu Ke, who is 12 years old, and the youngest daughter is Lu Xiuzhu, who is only six years old.Apparently they have never seen anything in the world, they bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound when they entered the glazed room, and Ruier kowtowed when they asked them to kowtow, but their eyes were very peaceful, and they did not look around.

Liuli thought about it, Ji Jiaoer should not be older than Lu Ke by a year or two, but she stayed to do errands with him.So he said: "I'm short of an errand runner here, so Lu Ke will follow Ji Jiaoer."

Sister-in-law Lu didn't know what the errands were for, but it was rare for such a young child to be spotted by Liuli, so she knelt down and thanked her.Rui'er said happily: "Auntie should be a great gift. Don't look at what grandma said so easily, but you don't know that those who run errands for grandma in our Chaoqingtang are all important confidantes. Just look at your sincerity. Dishonesty."

Rui'er, that's what it means to make a point.After hearing this, Mrs. Lu quickly knelt down with Lu Ke to thank her.Coincidentally, Ji Jiao'er came back from the palace to return, holding the reward from Lu Zhao in his hand and showing it to Liu Li: "My lord rewarded five taels of silver and two gold coins." The five taels of silver are worth half a year's expenses of the Lu family. , plus two gold clasps, this is a whole year's expenses!
The mother and son of the Lu family next to them saw that Liuli waved her hand and asked Ji Jiaoer to accept it. If they hadn't understood the superiority of running errands before, they didn't understand anything now.The respect in his eyes at the moment just added another layer.

Rui'er saw these subtle movements, but Liuli didn't pay attention to them, these facts are too common.Every time she sends Jijiao'er out on errands, he can reap a lot of benefits, and she doesn't know that, she herself rewards him with some wine money from time to time, and it is precisely because of this that Jijiao'er puts so much effort into doing things for her , and would unreservedly tell her the rewards he got every time she went out, she would not want him anyway, but she could also see the other party's attitude towards the people around her from it.For example, Lu Zhao's actions are gold and silver, at least it shows that the other party thinks highly of her, otherwise, who would spend so much money on a servant?
"This is Lu Ke, and I'll follow you from now on. You take him to see Steward Fan first, and you can arrange for him to do some unimportant things first." Liuli sipped the warm soup, pointed at Jugeng and said.There are more and more places around her to employ people, and after Lu Ke gets started, she will transfer Ji Jiaoer to other places.

Ji Jiaoer glanced at Lu Ke, nodded and said, "I obey."

Lu Ke followed Ji Jiaoer.Mrs. Lu kowtowed again before getting up.

Liu Li felt a little relieved that she was so respectful, it would be nice to have such a person beside Rui Er to take care of her house.Liuli is about to give birth, and she really needs Ruier by her side. Although Yuegui Haitang is very capable, they have different personalities. Their fearlessness is very suitable for leading the charge, while Ruier's introverted and carefulness is very suitable for taking charge of internal affairs.

She is already pregnant at this time, so she can't make any more mistakes. There is still a Mei family in the house. Although she didn't dare to hurt her child when she was pregnant, it doesn't mean she won't do anything to kill her at the critical moment of her birth. She is a mother-in-law, and she has to be present when she gives birth regardless of emotion or reason.If Liuli died in childbirth, let alone the fact that her cause of death is difficult to determine, just say that after her death, Qi Yunhao will have a reunion, and then her child will have to suffer the same fate as Qi Yunhao did when she was a child?
