Chapter 743(1/2)
Li Fan only felt his scalp numb.
The uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.
If you don’t believe in evil, move the bed and table.
I almost dismantled the bed and banged on the cellar wall for a long time, but I still couldn't find the person who was supposed to be there.
Li Fan struggled down there for half an hour before he came up with a nervous look on his face.
The eldest princess continued to sneer, "Master Li, as a servant, do you want to interrogate me to see if I am the remnant of the former prince you mentioned?"
A few days ago, she had sent someone to send away the mother and son who were hiding underneath.
But this cellar cannot disappear for no reason.
It cannot disappear, and the evidence that someone has lived in the cellar for two consecutive years cannot be completely erased.
Then he thought of a way to let the servants of the mansion live in him.
It was originally just for safety reasons, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.
Li Fan was stunned and almost nodded in agreement.
He raised his head and met the eldest princess' cold and sinister gaze, and suddenly came back to his senses.
If it really comes out, it might be okay, but if it doesn't, it's over.
Judging from the current situation.
Since the people have been changed, it proves that no matter where the eldest princess got the news, the people have been moved away.
If the other party is prepared, he will never wait for others to follow suit.
If he interrogates himself, the possibility of finding out the whereabouts of the former prince's remnants is very slim.
The most important thing is that he is not good at investigating cases.
This fifth-grade official position in Dali Temple was originally arranged by Duke Yun as a transitional position.
Li Fan pursed his lips and said nothing.
The eldest princess snorted coldly.
"Whether Mr. Li interrogates or not, the matter has reached this level, and I should still explain it to the emperor."
"Huang San, tell yourself, why are you here?"
The man named Huang San was the man who was brought up from the cellar.
Seeing the emperor and the eldest princess blocking the entrance to the cellar, they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
At this time, I heard the eldest princess speak and quickly explained.
He and the housekeeper's sister are married. Because of the housekeeper's support, the sister has a bad temper. It would be an exaggeration to call her a tigress.
His hobby is to go out and take out some small colored manuscripts and read through them with his wife at night.
As a result, his wife thought he was obscene and wouldn't let him watch.
But he has always had such a hobby, and his wife didn't allow it, so he had to come secretly.
The cellar under the rockery was originally used to store wine, but later it became abandoned, so he sneaked in.
I bought some simple things and sneaked over every time I wanted to read.
Over time, it developed into his secret little garden.
The scraps of money and rare gadgets I secretly saved are also placed here.
Until Li Fan discovered it.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed some scattered silver and manuscripts below."
The guard took out a book and handed it to the old man beside the emperor.
The father-in-law took the dark book stained with some unknown liquid.
The sensible person did not hand it to the emperor directly, but turned it over and held it at a distance where the emperor could clearly see the content above.
The emperor just glanced coldly and looked away.
"Li Aiqing, what else do you have to say?"
Li Fan knelt down nervously.
My palms are sweating.
I didn't expect things to turn out like this.
When did the eldest princess realize that there was a traitor around the third prince?
Otherwise, why would the other party be defensive?
But the most important thing at this time is that he has said everything.
At this time, I discovered that I had wronged the eldest princess, and I was guilty of slander and offending the royal family.
According to the law, you can directly ask for execution.
Li Fan was so scared that his forehead was covered with sweat, and he almost used all his strength to keep himself from shaking.
"Yes... some clues misled me before, and I misunderstood the eldest princess." Li Fan smiled uglier than crying.
"Since the eldest princess knew it was a misunderstanding early on, why didn't she tell her..."
"If I tell you, will Mr. Li believe it?"
Li Fan looked even more embarrassed.
He really wouldn't believe it.
At this time, she could only turn to the eldest princess and kowtow three times.
"It's my fault. I wronged Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and deserves death."
Without waiting for the eldest princess to say anything else, Li Fan quickly continued.
"However, when Cai Chen was checking the cellar below, he accidentally discovered an important clue, which is related to the safety of the entire capital and the palace.
I will never shirk my offense against the eldest princess, but it is related to the safety of the emperor and the people of the capital, so I ask for your permission to report it to Your Majesty."
Li Fan understood that now he must show his greater value in order to save his life.
The emperor's face was too gloomy to look at.
This is threatening him with the lives of the entire people in the capital. If he is not allowed to speak, does it mean that he has no regard for the people and has no tolerance?
"Li Aiqing, I hope you can tell me why. Otherwise, I will never forgive you lightly."
Li Fan kowtowed fiercely, "Yes, Your Majesty."
As long as there is still a chance to talk, that's fine.
Li Fan took a deep breath. Fortunately, history books recorded that a major earthquake would occur in the capital in more than a month, causing considerable casualties.
Li Fan spoke again.
"When I was in the cellar just now, I discovered that the hardness of the soil layers not far apart was very different. Moreover, this should not be the hardness that the ground should have thirty feet above the surface.
The humidity of the soil layer also varies greatly. Generally, the occurrence of this situation is a sign of violent movement of the earth's crust and that the earth's crust has reached a limit.
Based on what I just saw in the cellar, Wei Chen can conclude that there will be a strong earthquake in the capital within as little as one month and as many as three months..."
People and things may change due to the butterfly effect, but large-scale natural disasters will not change easily.
Li Fan quoted a passage from modern scientific research and looked at everyone's eyes, which were getting weirder and weirder, and they were more and more surprised but unable to speak.
I thought they didn’t understand what I said.
It’s okay if you don’t understand. He is making nonsense anyway. Could it be that these ancients really understood geography?
What does it matter if he talks nonsense?
As long as the prediction is correct.
At this time, the emperor's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
Just treat him like a fool and jump around in front of him with something in the book.
Will come twice more.
Do you think this emperor is too easy to deceive?
And it can be seen from the fact that the mother and son are no longer in the imperial sister's cellar.
If the contents of the book are all true, then maybe he is not the only one to possess the book.
If he is still led by Li Fan.
All civil and military officials in the dynasty laughed at him.
The emperor let out the cold air all over his body.
Li Fan automatically understood that the emperor did not believe in him.
To be continued...
