Li Yu waited for the two children to fall asleep and came out of the room. He saw that Nanny Chen was still doing needlework. It looked like she was making small clothes for the children. She smiled and said, "It takes too much time to do needlework at night, Nanny." Get some rest early.”

Grandma Chen smiled and said, "I am older and sleep less. Madam, please go and rest first. I will keep an eye on the young men."

"Yeah!" After Li Yu agreed, he went to the next room to take a look at Yang Yang who was sleeping soundly, then turned back to the room and took a handkerchief to dry his hair.

In the study, Jixiang told Zhou Jia about the shooting of Lao Lin and the arrival of gangsters in Zhuangzi. He said angrily: "Master, those people are so heartless that they even brought torches during the night attack. They planned to Set fire to Zhuangzi."

After Zhou Jia pondered for a moment, he said: "They are already coming to us. When you go back, tell Ruyi and Zhaocai to check all your servants again and send out the wrong people as soon as possible."

Ji Xiang nodded, "Yes, sir, I will tell Brother Cai and the others to investigate the origins of those people."

"You're tired too, go back and rest first!" Zhou Jia said.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the study, Ruyi also came back from the Ministry of War warehouse. Zhou Jia looked at his exhausted look, patted his shoulder, and said warmly: "Go! Go back and have a rest for the night. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Ruyi and Jixiang agreed and left together.

Zhou Jia sent Ji Xiang Ruyi away and quickly returned to the room. He saw Li Yu sitting in front of the dressing table and wiping his hair with a handkerchief. He walked forward and looked at Li Yu with burning eyes.

Li Yu felt Zhou Jia's gaze and turned to look at him with a bright smile, "Fool, why are you just staring?"

"I just want to take a good look at you." Zhou Jia smiled and stepped forward to take the handkerchief from her hand. He gently wiped her hair. Looking at his daughter-in-law who was smiling beautifully in the bronze mirror, her heart suddenly felt empty. fully.

Li Yu grabbed his hand, leaned against him, and said softly: "Xiao Xi, I made you worry."

Zhou Jia leaned over to hug her and kissed her. After a while, he said in her ear: "Yu'er, I miss you. You have to make it up to me."

Li Yufen looked at him with a spring face, was picked up by Zhou Jia, and walked towards the bed.

Shen Zhong handed over the weapons that Good Luck had brought back, returned to the palace to see Chu Yuhao, and reported the situation in Liangjiacun.

Chu Yuhao originally thought there were only a few hundred weapons, but he was shocked when he heard that there were tens of thousands of weapons hidden in Liangjiacun.

Tens of thousands of weapons cannot be made in a short time. Judging from the time, when the second brother let people occupy Liangjia Village, it was the time when the two brothers worked together to deal with him.

At that time, the second child was secretly preparing these things in Liangjiacun. From this point of view, even if the eldest brother was established as the crown prince, the second child had no intention of giving up the fight for the throne. The brothers and sisters were doing it for others to see.

Chu Yuhao then thought again: Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the royal family. For the sake of this supreme power, no matter what kind of things the second son does, it is not surprising.

Shen Zhong stood there with a bow. Seeing that Chu Yuhao was deep in thought, he did not dare to disturb him and stood there quietly waiting for instructions.

After a while, Chu Yuhao said: "Let Sihai send someone to find a job in Tongfu Inn and monitor Tongfu Inn. Also, Li Hanlin mentioned the cold arrester of Jingzhao Yamen and felt that something was wrong with him, which made people feel uncomfortable. Keep an eye on him for a few days, hand over the people brought back from Liangjiacun to Chu Sihai for interrogation, and ask him to meet Mrs. Li tomorrow morning."

Shen Zhong bowed and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Shen Zhong came out of the palace, took Dashi and Chi Zhuangtou to Sihai Bank, handed them over to Chu Sihai, explained Chu Yuhao's words, looked at Chu Sihai and said: "Big shopkeeper, those weapons in Liangjiacun are fighting It is very well made, and there is a lot of grain stored in the village. I am worried that the man is hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble."

"Alas!" Chu Sihai sighed, "To tell you the truth, Kyoto is not stable these days. Over at the Chunwei examination room, I have people watching me so closely, but something happened."

Shen Zhong looked at Chu Sihai in surprise, "Who dares to tamper with Chunwei and risk his life?"

Chu Sihai pulled Shen Zhong into the room and sat down. He frowned and said, "Today at Youshi, we caught two people who were acting suspiciously from the examination room. After interrogation, they finally confessed that there were people from them among the guards in the examination room. The inspection at that time was just a formality, and they also said that those cheat sheets were provided by Mrs. Li’s cousin-in-law, Li Fengqi.”

Shen Zhong frowned, "Then they can't just bite whoever they want! Even if that person is Mrs. Li's cousin-in-law, he can't get the answers to the Chunwei test questions!"

Chu Sihai looked at Shen Zhong and said, "You don't know something. One of the examiners in charge of the exam this time is Bachelor Lin. He is Mrs. Li's natal uncle. As far as I know, Mrs. Li's aunt's family has never been satisfied with candidates named Li. , felt that he was too utilitarian, and even sent a letter to Mrs. Li, asking them to ignore her brother-in-law’s family and not to promote him.”

"Last time, Mr. Ningxiang bribed a man named Li with answers from previous years' examination papers, and found out from him the family to which Mrs. Li had divorced. He also sent people to Tongzhou to bring that family to Kyoto. When this failed, he sent someone to He went into the Imperial College to seduce him and asked him to kidnap Mrs. Li's child. Unexpectedly, he failed to harm others but harmed his own child. I think those two people confessed Li Fengqi just to drag Mrs. Li's family into trouble and kill Bachelor Lin by the way. "

Shen Zhong curled his lips and said: "For such a greedy person, the Liu family should not betroth their daughter to him. You should arrest him."

Chu Sihai shook his head and said: "It was not the parents who made the decision for the daughter of the Liu family to marry a man named Li. It was his daughter who wanted to marry a man named Li. The girl was devoted to the man. Mrs. Li's family was also jealous of this man. This The first time we wanted to use him for fishing, we didn't catch him on the spot. We got some laxatives and took him out of the examination room, and asked people to keep an eye on him until I asked him clearly."

"Alas! Every family has one or two relatives who are worried," Shen Zhong said and stood up, "I'm going back too, and I have to go to Liangjiacun tomorrow morning."

Chu Sihai stood up and nodded: "Okay, you go back and have a rest. I'll have someone keep an eye on Leng first."

Chu Sihai sent away the manpower Shen Zhong had arranged to monitor Capt. Leng, and called for a secret guard. He told her what Chi Zhuangtou had told her, and said to her: "Yanniang, go to Shanyang County to work with Capt. Fu Inn, try to find something to do.”

Yan Niang glanced at Chu Sihai and nodded in agreement.

After Chu Sihai made arrangements, he went to the dungeon where Dashi and Chi Zhuangtou were imprisoned, and said to the guards: "How are those two people?"

The guard replied respectfully: "One was sitting against the wall with his head downcast, and the other was expressionless and lying there silently, without any movement."

Chu Sihai stood at the doorway, glanced at Chi Zhuangtou who fell in the haystack, and then went to the next room to look at the big rocks curled up in a ball, "Watch them carefully."

"Yes, big shopkeeper." The guard bowed and responded.
