Chapter 317
Mrs. Li glanced at Wu Mingyi and said expressionlessly, "You go back first."

Wu Mingyi also wanted to beg his mother, begging her to find ways to facilitate this marriage.

But after meeting his mother's cold gaze, Wu Mingyi swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Facing Mrs. Li, Wu Mingyi felt a little apprehensive.

Although they are mother and daughter, they are not as close as other mothers and daughters, and they talk about everything.

In Wu Mingyi's impression, Mrs. Li seldom smiles towards her, but always has a cold face.

Other people's families are loving mothers and strict fathers, but Chengguo's mansion is just the opposite. The eldest son of Chengguo's mansion treats children much more gently than Mrs. Li.

It's just that the eldest son is not often in the mansion, and the children don't have many opportunities to see their father.

This is also the reason why Wu Mingyi is willing to get close to Mrs. Cui, but not Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li saw Wu Mingyi hesitated to speak, thought she had something to say, and fixedly looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Wu Mingyi blessed Mrs. Li, turned around and left.

Mrs. Li looked at the back of her daughter leaving, and sighed slightly. She didn't turn to leave until her back disappeared into the garden.

Chen Wang's mansion, Chen Wang held the head above him, listening to Lu Ming's report with a sullen face.

"My lord, I have come to report the information of the son of the Weiyuan Houfu, Shizi returned to the capital the night before yesterday.

After returning to Beijing, Shi Shizi went straight to the teahouse opposite Liu Xiangfu, and stayed there for about half an hour.

Shi Shizi left the teahouse and went to Mingyuan in Minghui Lane.

Coming out of Mingyuan, Shi Shizi made a detour to the Chengguo mansion, but did not enter the Chengguo mansion, only stood by the wall of the Chengguo mansion for a while, and then left.

Yesterday, Shi Shizi went to Duke Cheng's mansion first, and then to the East Palace.

Coming out of the East Palace, Shi Shizi went to Mingyuan in Minghui Lane.

In the evening, Shi Shizi went to the East Palace again, stayed at the gate of the palace until it was locked, and left the palace.

After leaving the palace, Shi Shizi went to Minghui Lane again, and left Mingyuan to go back to the Marquis Mansion at the appointed time.

Until this morning, I left the city and returned to the barracks. "

After hearing this, King Chen turned his head to look at Zhou Jiawei, the staff member on the left, and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Zhou Jiawei leaned forward and said, "There were a lot of people gathered around the prime minister's mansion the night before, Shi Shizi appeared in the teahouse, maybe he was just watching the fun, not related to this matter."

Wang Chen turned his head to look to the right, and asked, "Where is Mr. Xu, what do you think?"

Mr. Xu in Chen Wang's mouth is called Xu Huazhen. He was recommended by his grandfather Liu Xiang and entered Chen Wang's mansion as an aide the year before last.

After Xu Huazhen was called, he put down the cup in his hand, bowed to King Chen and said, "My lord, I have the opposite opinion from Mr. Zhou.

I believe that there must be a driving force behind the incident of the day before yesterday and such a big commotion.

After Qiu Xi came back, the East Palace began to fight against the prince in everything. It can be seen that the East Palace has already regarded the prince as the biggest opponent.

Therefore, I believe that the hand behind what happened the day before yesterday, the East Palace was the first to bear the brunt.

Shi Shizi didn't come back early or late, but he came back the day and night before.

It can be seen from Qiu Xi's trip that the prince has great trust in Shi Shizi.

Furthermore, I inspected the collapsed dormitory of the Guozijian, and the materials used were indeed not in accordance with the specifications..."

When Chen Wang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he interrupted Xu Huazhen, "Sir, do you know engineering?"

Xu Huazhen leaned forward and said, "My lord, I have liked all kinds of construction since I was a child.

Zeng aspired to be a good craftsman, so he read many books about construction.

But my mother is eager for her son to become a dragon, and her old man is looking forward to studying hard and taking the imperial examination.

One day, I will be named on the gold list and raise the lintel of my family.

In order not to disappoint my mother, I gave up my will, studied poetry and books hard, and took the road of imperial examination. "

King Chen nodded and said, "So that's the case, Mr. continued."

Xu Huazhen leaned back and replied: "Yes! I inspected the collapsed teaching dormitory of the Guozijian. Although the materials used are not up to standard, it will not collapse in a heavy snowfall.

The house collapsed strangely. "

Chen Wang straightened his back, fixed his eyes on Xu Huazhen, and asked, "According to what Mr. Xu said, is this disaster man-made?"

Xu Huazhen nodded, "Returning to my lord, let me see that someone tampered with the load-bearing pillars, which caused the house to collapse."

Chen Wang squeezed his chin, and after a little thought, he asked, "Can you write a note on this matter, sir?"

Xu Huazhen leaned back and said, "Go back to the lord, I can write the booklet, but it's not very useful when the booklet comes out."

Chen Wang questioned: "How do you say that?"

Xu Huazhen replied: "Although the collapse of the teaching dormitory was man-made, the construction of the dormitory did cut corners.

This is also a fact. The other party dared to do this, and they also grasped this point. "

Wang Chen thought for a while, nodded, and said to Xu Huazhen: "Sir, you are right, sir, please continue."

Xu Zhenhua said: "Judging from this matter, the collapse of the house was planned by the other party in advance.

However, the other party's purpose was simply to target Liu Jijiu, or to target Ning Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Industry.

After checking, the construction of Guozijian was inherited from Ning Yuanwailang. "

Xu Huazhen stopped to explain.

Chen Wang nodded, "Sir, continue."

Xu Huazhen nodded, and continued: "Who is the other party trying to target? I don't know.

Or, the other party wanted to kill two birds with one stone, pulling down Liu Jijiu and Ning Yuanwailang.

Liu Jijiu is the prince's uncle, and Ning Yuanwailang is the side concubine's father, both of them have a very close relationship with the prince. "

Chen Wang picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea, then put the teacup heavily on the table, and said coldly: "The other party's purpose is to target this king!"

Xu Huazhen didn't answer, but what Chen Wang said was right, whether it was aimed at Liu Jijiu or Ning Yuanwailang, it was all aimed at Chen Wang.

Zhou Jiawei said: "Since Shi Shizi returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, he has been in and out of Mingyuan in Minghui Lane many times for two consecutive days.

And Mingyuan lived with Mrs. Qian, the mother of Ning Yuanwailang, the second son Ning Yu, and the eldest daughter Ning Wei.

And the relationship between Ning Yuanwailang and Ning Yu and Ning Wei is tense. Is the other party's purpose this time to pull Ning Yuanwailang down? "

Lu Ming on the side leaned towards King Chen and said, "My lord, according to reports, Ning Yu was assassinated by gangsters on his way back to the city from Baoen Temple a few days ago, and it was Princess Changle who rescued him.

Ning Yu was seriously injured and returned to Baoen Temple that day, and returned to the city with Princess Changle's convoy the next day.

Chen Wang frowned, knocked on the table with his fingers bent, and said angrily: "Why are you reporting such a big matter now?"

With a "plop", Lu Ming knelt down, leaned over and said, "The information was reported on the day Princess Changle returned to the palace. It was a small negligence. Please punish me, my lord!"

King Chen said angrily, "Go down and get the ten army sticks."

Lu Ming bowed to thank him, "Yes, the young one will go and receive the punishment."

Lu Ming stood up, ready to receive his punishment.

"Wait! Haven't you finished your question?" Chen Wang raised his voice to stop Lu Ming.
