Chapter 289 The Free Spy
Chapter 289 The Free Spy
Li Mingsheng felt even more dissatisfied when he felt Su He's naked contempt.
"You're talking nonsense. I'm very sad that Su Hong died, but my parents are already like this. If I don't stay strong and take care of the children, this family will be in chaos. You're a woman, and you don't stay at home to take care of your husband and children, but run out to show your face in public. You have no sense of shame."
Su He frowned and looked at Li Mingsheng. Why did these words sound so familiar?
"I don't plead guilty. I didn't kill him."
"You, a gigolo, can come out and embarrass yourself, so why can't I come out? You don't think you're a good actor, do you? It's just a piece of shit!"
Su He put her hands on her hips and scolded Li Mingsheng, "You are so ugly, I don't know what Wu Suhong likes about you? I don't think you are worthy of marrying into the family! The women in Dayong are very powerful, much better than gigolos like you."
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a woman as outstanding as me in your thirty years of life?"
"Stupid woman, I'm only 25! I don't bother telling you that a woman's place is at home."
Su He rushed forward and slapped him twice, saying it was another bastard from Dali.
Li Mingsheng was most proud of his face, which now had two slap marks on it.
After the fight, Su He wanted to kick down a few more times, but was stopped by Liu Bai.
Su He pouted and didn't insist, then turned around and complained to Liu Qi.
"Sir, I report that this is a spy sent by the Dali Kingdom, and he is the lowest level. I think Li Mingsheng is just a small fry. He is too stupid. Basically, I can't get anything useful out of him, so I just chopped him off."
Zhao Qingwen looked at Su He blankly. He had experienced so much in just half an hour.
Liu Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Take him away, I will personally interrogate him later."
When Su He saw that the matter was resolved, he immediately went to apologize to Wu Xian.
"Minister Wu, I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope you won't hold it against He Hua."
"I know you want to find the real murderer. I don't blame you."
Wu Xian smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that Li Mingsheng was a spy. When he thought about how he had instigated his daughter to come to the Ministry of War, he broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't agree to his daughter's request.
Otherwise, even if he is unaware of it, he will still suffer the consequences.
Thinking of this, Wu Xian said to Liu Qi above him.
"Aqi, I will go and explain to the emperor myself."
When it comes to the secret struggle between the two countries, Wu Xian consciously showed his loyalty to the emperor.
"Okay, Wu Suhong's house will be sealed first, and I will return it to you after the investigation is complete."
Wu Xian waved his hand, "Nothing, what's the point of me coming here, just go ahead and check it out. I won't make things difficult for you, Ah Shi, let's go, you accompany me to see the emperor."
Chen Shi had exactly this in mind, and was about to leave while the two were talking.
"Um, Minister Wu, have you forgotten something?"
"Lotus, don't disturb the adults from doing their work!"
Zhao Qingwen covered his chest with his hands. This girl was really brave. No wonder her mother wasn't worried at all.
Wu Xian was still immersed in the feeling that the murderer had finally been found and he had escaped a disaster, when he was suddenly stopped by Su He and was a little confused for a moment.
"what's up?"
Chen Shi beside him laughed out loud.
"Minister Wu, you haven't given Su Hehua the travel expenses you promised."
The people in the court looked at Chen Shi in surprise. They didn't expect him to be so nosy. This was not like Chen Shi's style.
"Su Hehua is a painter in our Guangyuan government office. She is one of my subordinates."
Chen Shi uttered this sentence slowly, explaining why he helped Su Hehua.
"So that's how it is. I've prepared the travel expenses, Miss Su. I'll have the servants deliver it to the Zhao residence tomorrow?"
"Okay, besides the travel expenses, there is also a shop, right?"
Although Su He felt that a second-rank official would not cheat her, it was still better to ask clearly. Chen Shi was an acquaintance of hers, and with his testimony, no one would dare to deny their reward.
Wu Xian nodded helplessly, "Miss Su, I will do what I say, so don't worry."
After receiving a positive answer, Su He suddenly smiled, "Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, everyone, take care, hehehe."
Liu Qi looked at Chen Shi with interest, glanced at Su He, and led the way.
"I'm going to interrogate the prisoner. You leave immediately."
Chen Shi also took Wu Xian away.
After Su He and the others had all left, he asked Liu Bai to find an inn.
"Master Zhao, you haven't left yet, let's go together."
Zhao Qingwen was so angry that he laughed. This girl was really not shy at all. How did her mother find this funny guy?
"It's getting late today. You two should follow me back to the Zhao Mansion and stay in the guest room."
Su He originally wanted to stay in an inn, but Wu Xian said that the reward would be sent to the Zhao Mansion, and it would not be appropriate if they were not there, so he decided to stay for one night.
"Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Su He bowed her head slightly and saluted modestly.
This time he was much more obedient, Zhao Qingwen complained in his heart, and led the two of them out of the Dali Temple quickly.
When the three arrived at Zhao's house, it was already past the usual dinner time, but the master could eat anytime he wanted.
Su He and Liu Bai also benefited from this. After eating and drinking, they went to bed in the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard respectively.
Here, Wu Xian and his companion rode fast horses for half an hour to reach the palace to meet the emperor.
Chen Dou was still reviewing memorials at that time, and when he heard Wu Xian's apology, he did not blame him.
"Wu Aiqing, please get up. This matter cannot be blamed on you. Ah Shi, go to Wu Suhong's house and check it out in the next two days. If there is no problem, this matter will be over."
Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that the emperor stopped talking, he tactfully took his leave.
Chen Dou waited until Wu Xian left, then looked at Chen Shi and spoke gently.
"Ashi, after we finish searching the house, I'll give you half a month off. Go back and have some rest."
Chen Shi refused without thinking.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I don't want to rest."
Chen Dou simply put the memorial down and looked at Chen Shi with a sullen face.
"Ashi, this is an imperial decree. Do you want to disobey it?"
Ordinary people would have been scared to death if they saw the emperor angry, but unfortunately Chen Shi did not follow the ordinary path.
"Mind your own business."
After Chen Shi finished speaking, he wanted to leave, and Chen Dou quickly stood up to try to stop him.
"You little brat, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. I heard that you like a little girl? If you really like her, it's not impossible to let her serve you, but you can't have children for the time being."
Chen Shi frowned and looked at his cousin who was nearly fifty years old and still so troublesome.
"You are so free? I heard that the eldest prince has been in contact with civil officials recently. The second prince took three concubines in one month, one of whom was a skinny girl from Yangzhou, and spent nearly five thousand taels of silver. The third prince didn't spend money recklessly. I heard that he has been very close to those scholars recently. The fourth prince..."
"Okay, okay, if you have nothing else, just go."
Chen Shi snorted coldly, bowed hastily and left.
Chen Dou's face turned green with anger after hearing what he said. None of these unfilial sons are worthy of being in public.
