Chapter 57 The Jade Pendant Reappears
"Who is he?" Prince Mingyang looked at Tang Li and asked, he knew all the people the Rong family had known in the imperial capital over the years, but Tang Li in front of him had no impression at all.

"He is Tang Li, the son of Mr. Tang's family, Ya'er's apprentice!" After getting along with each other these days, old man Rong likes Tang Li very much.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoya didn't refute Mr. Rong's words, Tang Li knew that she had acquiesced in his identity. He was very excited. After paying respects to King Ming Yang, Mr. Rong and Rong Yao, he obediently stood behind Gu Xiaoya, looking cautiously. look like.

"You want something from me?" As soon as Tang Li stood behind her, Rong Yao turned to look at herself, and glared at Tang Li by the way, Gu Xiaoya felt that it might be difficult to finish the meal smoothly.

Tang Li flinched from being stared at by Rong Yao, but now he was covered by his master, and according to his temperament of taking care of Xiaoya and protecting his weaknesses, he would never let Rong Yao bully him.

"Master, I heard that the weeping blood mandarin duck jade pendant appeared!" Tang Li just told Gu Xiaoya the news a step earlier, and he didn't avoid Mr. Rong and the others. Anyway, most of the people in the imperial capital have got the news now.

Lord Mingyang glanced at Gu Xiaoya and Tang Li, picked up the porridge in front of him and got up and said, "I'm going to see Shaojie!" He didn't want to get involved in these messy things, he just wanted to live his life in peace .

Mr. Rong understood that King Mingyang was most afraid of trouble, and he took the initiative to avoid it, which also showed his attitude towards the case of the Zuo family. It was also good, and it would be safer if one less person participated.

"Let's talk after dinner!" Rong Yao brought some food for Gu Xiaoya. Xuemei said that Gu Xiaoya was most afraid of being hungry, and Tang Li came during the meal, which made him slightly displeased, but he didn't show it. It is natural to take care of Gu Xiaoya at the dinner table.

Gu Xiaoya drank the medicinal porridge she made by herself, took a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and then got up and took Tang Li away. Rong Yao watched the two leave without saying a word, and continued to drink porridge and eat vegetables calmly , but old man Rong frowned.

After returning to the backyard, Tang Li told Gu Xiaoya that someone had found the blood-weeping mandarin duck pendant in the secret compartment of Prime Minister Lu's study with his own eyes, and spread the news in the rivers and lakes. He heard that Prime Minister Lu had been summoned into the palace by the emperor.

"Master, do you think this weeping mandarin duck is really in the Lu's house?" Tang Li was a little suspicious. He didn't see the jade pendant in the Lu's house with his own eyes. The jade pendant can be stolen from Lu's mansion.

"Nine times out of ten it's fake!" This kind of low-level rumors can also deceive people without brains. If the jade pendant related to the treasure is really in the Lu residence, people who know the news will definitely not spread it. Who doesn't want to take the treasure for themselves? , How could he be so stupid as to tell others clues?

"I don't think it's true, but it is true that many people have been eyeing the Lu residence, and even the emperor has been alarmed." Tang Li thought that someone must be deliberately drawing attention to the Lu residence, and the people behind him must have agreed with him. The Lu family has a grudge and wants to make the Lu family restless.

"Whether the news is true or not, rumors are flying all over the sky now, and the current emperor is very suspicious. The Lu family is afraid to follow the old path of the Zuo family." The Lu family has too much power in the Great Qin Dynasty, Gu Xiaoya thought that the emperor should have already With the idea of ​​eradicating the Lu family, even if the emperor doesn't want to, others will not watch the second prince supported by the Lu family become the next emperor.

Tang Li also fell into silence. Although he didn't know much about the affairs in the court, he also knew that the eldest prince Xiang Shao, the second prince Xiang Yun, and Hui Wang Xiangyu, who had been named prince early, were the popular candidates for the crown prince. He said that he was more inclined to Xiang Yu, after all, King Hui's reputation for being virtuous has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Master, should we continue to investigate the matter of the weeping mandarin duck?" The virtuous king's rebellion has the most direct relationship. If the investigation continues, Tang Li thinks that he may get burned.

"Just pay attention to it in secret. By the way, what will happen after Lin Changgui handed it over to Leng Yan?" There should be someone behind the case like Lin Changhai's. I don't know if the prison inspector Leng Yan is able to find out.

Speaking of Lin Changgui's matter, Tang Li was a little angry. He told Gu Xiaoya that he died the night after he was handed over to Leng Yan, and Heshun Hall was also sealed by the yamen. Without clues, Leng Yan could not find anything, but that A prison inspector has not given up and is looking for other clues.

Gu Xiaoya waited for Tang Li to leave, then called Xuemei, Qingxia and Qingyue into her room. These few days Qingxia and Qingyue were doing pretty well with her, but what she was going to do now really needed a lot of manpower.

"Xuemei, go to Rong Lu and ask him to buy me a better shop on the busiest street in the imperial capital, and tell him that I want to open a restaurant. Qingxia, you are good at medicine. Here are some prescriptions for you to get." Zhuang made pills and ointments, and you will help me sit in the medicine village in the future, Qingyue, you can prepare some poison for me, I will be useful in the future! Well, you go to work!" After Gu Xiaoya ordered the three of them, she changed into a men's shirt clothes, and went out.

She walked around the street twice, then entered the backyard of Linlang Fairy Pavilion, and soon the little maid led Xiang Han into the room where she was.

"Ya'er, why are you so anxious to find me?" Since meeting Gu Xiaoya and his sister, Xiang Han has become more careful in his actions. Although Xiang Yu trusts him, Xiang Yu is as suspicious as the emperor. He is now in the tiger's den , have to be careful.

"Brother, I came to you in a hurry. I wanted to ask one thing clearly. When you were in Yonghe Town last time, why did you ask me to be careful of King Hui? Do you know that the person behind the murder of the Lin family in Yonghe Town is not The eldest prince, but King Hui?" Gu Xiaoya thought about it many times, and felt that Xiang Han didn't seem to be telling her that day without end, that she wanted to thoroughly investigate the murder case of Lin Changhai's family, and he went to stop her, And told her to be careful of King Hui, doesn't that mean that this matter has something to do with King Hui.

"Ya'er, how do you know that!" Xiang Han asked eagerly, now that their brother and sister had just been reunited, and each other's identities and statuses were very awkward, and they had no backing, and if they were not careful, they might be eaten to pieces by their enemies .

"I guess! If King Hui is the mastermind behind Lin Changhai's family, then he must have let people spread the rumors about weeping mandarin ducks in the imperial capital during this period. I don't have any counselors, I can't think of such a plan, and I don't have that much ability to handle this matter." Gu Xiaoya uttered all her guesses.
