Upon hearing this, Li Chengyuan said innocently, "Your Majesty, are you blaming me for not kneeling? I haven't made any mistakes recently, have I?"
"You didn't make any mistakes?" Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengyuan sharply and snorted, "How dare you say you didn't make any mistakes?"
"No!" Li Chengyuan said righteously, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that I haven't made any mistakes recently!"
"Ha!" Emperor Qing sneered, "That's fine! Let me ask you, what's going on with Si Lili?"
"Si Lili?" Li Chengyuan asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what is the relationship between Si Lili and me? I have only met Si Lili once, and it was Prince Jing's son, Li Hongcheng, who introduced her to me. After that, I have never met Si Lili again!"
Emperor Qing asked gravely, "You haven't seen him? Then who was it that saved Si Lili at the inn?"
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Just talking to Si Lili at the inn? When did this happen?"
Li Chengyuan had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he really didn't know...
Emperor Qing stared at Li Chengyuan, as if he wanted to see through Li Chengyuan's heart.
But Li Chengyuan's expression did not change at all, not even a trace of guilt.
His face is full of confidence!
Emperor Qing was silent for a long moment before he spoke, "Someone reported to me that you rescued Si Lili and brought her back to the palace. They also said that you keep many talented people in your palace. Do you have any explanation for this?"
The prince and Li Chengze looked at Li Chengyuan. They were also curious about who rescued Si Lili.
"Who else is so wicked as to throw dirty water on me?" Li Chengyuan said angrily, "Your Majesty, I am upright and honest. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to search my house right now. I am honest and have nothing to hide!
If any problems are found in my house, I will be punished twice as much!"
Li Chengyuan is not afraid at all!
He knew that this was Emperor Qing testing him!
Si Lili was brought back by him using a small jade mirror, how could she be seen by others?
Li Chengyuan's "righteousness" also made Emperor Qing feel a little confused.
In the past, the Crown Prince and Li Chengze were always timid in front of him, and even when they were wronged, they didn't dare to say anything.
He is the first one to be as tough as Li Chengyuan!
Emperor Qing really appreciated this.
No matter what, Li Chengyuan's toughness is rare.
Emperor Qing was silent for a while, then said to Li Chengyuan, "Stand aside first!"
"Yes!" Li Chengyuan took a step aside, then looked at the prince and Li Chengze brothers with an expression as if he was watching a show!
Emperor Qing also turned to look at the Crown Prince and Li Chengze, and his voice instantly became three points colder.
"Do you have anything to say?"
The Crown Prince and Li Chengze hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, your son is innocent!", "Your son is innocent too!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing’s eyes became even colder.
"Since you are wronged, then continue kneeling!"
Afterwards, Emperor Qing took out two lists and asked Eunuch Hou to hand them to the Crown Prince and Li Chengze respectively.
When they took it and looked at it, their faces instantly became extremely ugly!
Officials list!
Another list of officials!
And this time there is no cover-up at all, the list above contains all of their respective students and former officials!
Obviously, Emperor Qing was no longer interested in listening to their excuses this time, but directly gave them a "ticket".
Looking at the two men's ugly expressions, Emperor Qing snorted, "Do you know what I mean?"
The two nodded with grim expressions.
Emperor Qing ignored them and said calmly: "Since you like killing people, I will learn from you!
I also want to know whether simply killing people can solve the problem!
Remember, they all died because of you!"
Chapter 102: Fan Xian is taken to the Inspection Office! Lin Wan'er comes to visit!
The Crown Prince and Li Chengze knelt in the imperial study for two hours.
Only when the two men's faces turned pale did Emperor Qing let them go back.
Li Chengyuan watched the whole process.
In addition to punishing them by making them kneel, Emperor Qing simply gave them the list of officials.
Apart from this, there was nothing else, not even a scolding.
But the more this happened, the more Li Chengyuan felt that Emperor Qing was really angry this time.
If Emperor Qing scolded them, it would not be a big deal.
This kind of holding back is the most terrifying.
Li Chengyuan guessed that Emperor Qing's punishment of the Crown Prince and Li Chengze had just begun.
There will definitely be more severe punishments later.
This is also normal.
These two people are indeed a bit too unscrupulous.
If you say kill, kill.
If we don't put an end to their madness, who knows, they might do something even more cruel!
Li Chengyuan was happy to see this happen.
Anyway, these things have nothing to do with him.
Even if Emperor Qing was unhappy, he would not vent his anger on him.
Unless Emperor Qing can find his "criminal evidence"!
...
Li Chengyuan stood in the imperial study with the crown prince and Li Chengze for an hour before being allowed to return home by Emperor Qing.
However, after Li Chengyuan returned home, he found out that his house had been searched!
Emperor Qing really doubted him!
He actually asked Eunuch Hou to personally bring people to the palace to search for people!
Fortunately, Hongshu has a small jade mirror.
As soon as Eunuch Hou entered the mansion, Hongshu had already taken Si Lili and Teng Zijing's family in.
Apart from them, there are no other secrets in the palace.
It can be said to be extremely "clean".
Eunuch Hou sent people to search around, but when they found nothing, they took their people back.
After Li Chengyuan learned about this, he secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, the second jade mirror arrived in time, and fortunately he gave the second jade mirror to Hongshu.
Otherwise today would be really troublesome.
He asked why Emperor Qing had locked them up in the imperial study for two hours. It turned out that he was heading for Cha's mansion.
I just don't know if Emperor Qing only checked Prince Li's Mansion, or did he search the Crown Prince's Mansion and Prince Qin's Mansion as well?
15
......
Royal study room.
After the three princes left, Eunuch Hou walked in quickly holding a memorial.
"Your Majesty! Here are the results of the house search. Please review them!"
Emperor Qing took the memorial, opened it and began to read.
He first looked at the search results of the Crown Prince's Mansion. After reading it quickly, Emperor Qing couldn't help but curse: "Asshole!"
He only watched the search of the Qin Palace again, and after reading it, he cursed again: "Bastard!"
After watching the search of Prince Li's mansion, he asked in surprise, "Didn't find Si Lili?"
"Your Majesty, no!"
"No trace at all?"
"Your Majesty, the Prince's Mansion is not very big. We have checked it very carefully, even the walls and floors, to ensure that there is no secret room!"
"Could it be that Si Lili was really not kidnapped by Li Chengyuan?" Emperor Qing wondered.
Eunuch Hou whispered, “Your Majesty, this matter may really have nothing to do with the Third Prince.
According to the secret report from the Prince's Mansion, on the day of the incident, the Third Prince had been writing a book at home and had not left the mansion all day.
Qingniao, the only ninth-rank master in the mansion, has been shopping in the East Market. Our people have been keeping an eye on her and can ensure that she has not left the city!
And if the Blue Bird hadn't left the city, then the Third Prince wouldn't have anyone else to use!"
Emperor Qing nodded without comment and continued reading.
After reading it, Emperor Qing was surprised again: "Is this all that Li Chengyuan has in his house?"
"Your Majesty, I am also surprised. But Your Highness's residence is really clean, and there are not many treasures. Most of them are items from the palace. They should be given to him by you and the other two princes. Apart from this, there are no other precious items in the Prince's Mansion.
Even the maids and servants in the Prince's Mansion are not many, only about eighty in total, not even a fraction of the number in the Prince Qin's Mansion!"
"Doesn't Li Chengyuan have a lot of shops of his own?"
"This... maybe it's because they don't make much money?" Eunuch Hou laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you know that the Third Prince likes to write poetry, and making money is not his strong point!"
Emperor Qing nodded and felt much better.
No matter what, among his three sons, there is finally one who is "honest"!
