Chapter 66: Inexplicably Feeling Good
Chu Li watched quietly as Madam Guoyue died from excessive blood loss. Zhang Sheng had injured her aorta, and perhaps only the Great Luo Immortal could save her.
After Chu Yue paid attention to the affairs of Zhang Sheng and Madam Guo Yue, she immediately remembered another thing.
She couldn't wait to see who was behind the screen?
Just as she was about to step into the house, Chu Li raised his hand to stop her, blocking her way.
"Eldest sister, a murder just happened here. It's already very suspicious that you appeared here inexplicably. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to explain yourself if you go in now?"
Emperor Qingyuan's heart instantly rose to his throat. Was Chu Yue, such a tactless person, going to expose him?
Fortunately, Chu Li stopped it!
Chu Yue met Chu Li's oppressive eyes and smiled, "Your Highness has a good trick to lure me here to watch this good show. I've seen it, Your Highness did a good job!"
After saying that, she patted Chu Li's shoulder gently, sneered and wanted to leave.
"Same here!" Chu Li also patted her shoulder.
Chu Yue gritted her teeth and left.
Chu Li looked at her arrogant back. She, the eldest sister, was very ambitious and was afraid that everything would be directed against her in the future.
Then we’ll see!
When Chu Yue got on the carriage, Mo Yun nodded and said, "Master, it was my fault that I failed to watch out and was fooled by the prince."
Chu Yue was so angry that her chest hurt. "We underestimated Chu Li. He has been playing the pig and eating the tiger all these years. In fact, he is the most difficult one to deal with among the princes!"
She thought for a moment and said, "Don't stare at her for now."
Since Chu Li was already on guard against her, she would let him relax his guard temporarily and wait for the right opportunity to kill him with one strike!
Mo Yun replied respectfully: "Yes."
......
Chu Li and Zhang Zhilong took Zhang Sheng away.
She asked her father to come here today, one of the reasons was to let her father see the affair between Madam Guoyue and Zhang Sheng.
The second reason is to let my father hear the truth of the case in person.
Now that her goal has been achieved, she will not be so blind as to expose her father who is hiding in the dark.
Sometimes, if you know other people's secrets, not only will you not become friends with them, but you will be hated and targeted by others.
So, even if she saw Emperor Qingyuan, she pretended not to see him.
After Chu Li and his men left, Emperor Qingyuan looked at Madam Guoyue's body coldly, and then left quietly.
Three people walked out from behind the house.
Lan Yi praised sincerely: "Master, the prince has a good plan. He not only took advantage of the ***, but also let Your Majesty see and hear the truth of the Liu Chuang case with your own eyes."
The corners of Ye Hanting's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of warmth appeared in his cold eyes.
Chi Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Master, look at your eyes. The prince has solved the case, why are you so proud?"
"Master, where are you going?" Chi Yan asked Ye Hanting as he followed him.
"Dali Temple." Ye Hanting left a word and got on the carriage.
Chi Yan got on the carriage and asked, "Master, why are you going to the Dali Temple?"
Ye Hanting frowned and looked at him, "The cases of Wu Cheng and Mei Renpin have not been concluded yet."
Chi Yan curled his lips. He thought his master was delaying on purpose just to appear in front of the prince more often.
As soon as Chu Li arrived at the Dali Temple, Ye Hanting arrived.
"The prince is still awake?"
Chi Yan curled his lips and said, "Oh, oh, oh, master, you asked so naturally. If I hadn't followed you the whole time, I would have believed it was an accidental encounter!"
Chu Li was a little surprised when she saw Ye Hanting. It was such a coincidence recently. How come she could run into Ye Hanting wherever she went?
"Sir, what is the matter with coming to the Dali Temple so late at night?"
Ye Hanting said as he walked, "Shenmei Renpin."
"Oh." Chu Li didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Ye Hanting's style of doing things was weird, and he did everything arbitrarily.
Sometimes she even suspected that Ye Hanting was the illegitimate son of his scumbag father.
However, a bad father may not be able to give birth to such a handsome son.
Could it be that Ye Hanting has some leverage over my scumbag dad?
Or does the scumbag dad need Ye Hanting to help him do something unspeakable?
The two walked up the stairs together without saying a word.
Suddenly, Ye Hanting looked at the bailiff who was escorting Zhang Sheng and asked Chu Li, "The crown prince is also going to try the case?"
"Yes, the Liu Chuang case is about to be solved."
"Oh, then Master, I want to sit in on the class, is that possible?"
Chu Li nodded, "Of course."
She even wished Ye Hanting was here, so that when she bullied Lu Dongchen later, she could also let her partner have some fun together!
Ye Hanting followed Chu Li into the Dali Temple.
Lu Dongchen, who was worried and fearful, had been staying overnight in the Dali Temple these days. When he heard the servant's report, he immediately put on his clothes and went out to greet the two people.
When Lu Dongchen saw Chu Li and Ye Hanting, he bowed to them first.
"The Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor are still awake late at night, are they going to interrogate the prisoner?" Lu Dongchen asked with a smile.
Chu Li hooked his finger behind him and said, "Bring an old friend to Lord Lu!"
Lu Dongchen narrowed his eyes and saw Zhang Zhilong and two yamen runners escorting a man towards them not far away.
As the man got closer, he felt that the man looked familiar, but there was a lot of blood splattered on the man's face, so he couldn't see clearly.
When the man stood in front of him, he suddenly felt like a poisonous snake was crawling on his back.
“Zhang…Zhang…”
He trembled but did not dare to say Zhang Sheng's full name.
Chu Li smiled and said, "Master Lu, please be more confident. He is Zhang Sheng!"
Lu Dongchen's face suddenly changed and his scalp went numb.
It has been ten years. Didn’t Zhang Sheng promise that he would never return to the capital?
How does Madam Guiyue do things?
How could she make such a low-level mistake!
After all, Lu Dongchen had been in the officialdom for many years. He quickly calmed down and asked in surprise, "Zhang Sheng is not dead?"
Zhang Sheng's eyebrows were drooped, without any expression. Anyway, he was caught and would die sooner or later.
Zhang Zhilong, who was standing behind Chu Li, couldn't stand it any longer. He was furious, "Lord Lu, stop pretending. Madam Guoyue has confessed everything!"
Lu Dongchen's heart sank, but he pretended to be calm, "Confess everything, Madam Guoyue, what did you confess? I don't understand what you are saying!"
Zhang Zhilong said angrily, "Lord Lu, I just realized that you are such a hypocritical villain. Madam Guoyue bribed you with 100,000 taels of silver, and you imprisoned Liu Chuang in the Dali Temple for ten years and refused to let me overturn the case. You are unworthy of the trust of His Majesty and the people, and you are unworthy of Liu Chuang!"
When Lu Dongchen heard this, he was immediately furious. "What 100,000 taels of silver? Madam Guoyue is talking nonsense!"
Since he became an official, he has never accepted bribes from anyone!
He was furious and shouted at Zhang Zhilong, "I am an upright official and have never accepted a single ounce of silver from anyone!"
Zhang Zhilong went against him and dared to slander him. Tomorrow he will report him to His Majesty!
Seeing that Lu Dongchen was very arrogant, Chu Li said coldly, "Lu Dongchen!"
When Lu Dongchen heard Chu Li calling his name, he was frightened by his aura and stopped talking.
"Lu Dongchen, even if you didn't take the money from Madam Guoyue, you did help her conceal the truth of the case. You helped Liu Chuang to be wrongly accused for ten years. Do you admit it?"
Ye Hanting was fanning himself leisurely as he looked at Chu Li who had a tough attitude. The girl's angry look was quite funny.
Unlike her usual timid and cunning appearance, she was a little fierce and strong.
However, when he saw Lu Dongchen being frightened by Chu Li, he felt inexplicably happy.
Lu Dongchen's face turned pale, his Adam's apple rolled, and his breathing became rapid.
How should he explain what happened back then?
