"Let's not talk about digressions, it's better to get straight to the point." Chu Changle changed the subject, "I wonder what Mr. Li can offer in exchange?"

Li Chong tapped lightly on the table and said in a low voice, "Is there enough evidence of corruption and bribery?"

"Not enough." Chu Changle shook his head and laughed.

"It's not enough!" Li Chong stood up angrily, "The crime of embezzlement and bribery is enough to bring him down, how can he stand up, why is it not enough!"

Chu Changle said without changing his face: "Corruption and bribery are the most exile, but I want him to die!"

"You...what else do you want..." The hand that fell by her side tightened quietly.

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, intending to rebel!"

"This is impossible!" Li Chong exclaimed in shock, "The two crimes you mentioned are both serious crimes of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Even if you can save me, my wealth will be lost forever!"

"You're such a selfish person."

Li Chong laughed self-deprecatingly, "People don't kill themselves, and I couldn't bear suffering since I was a child, and I don't want to lose my life at a young age, so I want to live, live freely, and I also want my family to live. "

"So you found the prince, intending to save your lives and wealth." Chu Changle answered.

"Yes!" Li Chong replied without hesitation, "Your conditions are too risky. Even if the regent can save our lives, we cannot keep our status and wealth."

"But what if both His Majesty and the Queen Mother agree?" Chu Changle said slowly.

Hearing this, Li Chong was stunned for a moment, and a trace of excitement surged up in his heart, "You...can you guarantee it?"

"Naturally." Chu Changle nodded and smiled, "After Li Taichang is removed, as long as you abide by your duties, the imperial court will treat you as it treats other people, and will never treat you differently."

Li Chong lowered his head and remained silent, Chu Changle saw his hesitation and struggle from his small movements.

After a long time, Li Chong let out a long breath and said, "What do you want us to do..."

Chu Changle said: "You don't need to do anything else, all you need is to act out a scene of killing relatives with righteousness."

"But, but I have never had children since ancient times..."

"You have been unfilial since the moment you decided to surrender to us." Chu Changle interrupted Li Chong's hesitation in a silent voice, "But..."

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Li Chong said anxiously.

"If you don't want your Li family to be regarded as unfilial by the world, you can push one person to take the place of the dead ghost, and let him bear the name of unfilial, and we can guarantee the previous promise for the rest."

"This..." Li Chong took a step back, unable to make a decision, "I...can I go back and discuss it with my father..."

After all, it's just a son...

Chu Changle hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"Farewell!" Li Chonggong cupped his hands and left without looking back.

As soon as Li Chong walked away, Chu Changle knocked on the table with his back foot, the sound was quite rhythmic, as if it was a secret signal.

After a while, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man came from outside the house.

"Spy on him, if you have the intention of betraying him, kill him!" Chu Changle spat out a cold and ruthless decision.

"No." The man responded indifferently, without any surprise from the beginning to the end.

Afterwards, the man left in front of Chu Changle.

"Miss Wang..." Not long after the man left, Qing Huan spoke hesitantly.

"Are you afraid of Qing Huan?" Chu Changle looked back and smiled, the smile was a little confusing.

Qing Huan shook her head and said without hesitation: "Qing Huan is not afraid, Miss will always be Miss!"

The undoubted firmness makes Chu Changle quietly relieved, just like what Qin Yixiao said to Liu Mei, Qing Huan is like a sister without blood relationship to Chu Changle, and her concern for her should be at the forefront.

"Then what does Qing Huan want to say?" Chu Changle got up, smiled and pinched Qing Huan's nose.

Qing Huan puffed her cheeks, and said coquettishly, "Miss~! You're teasing your servant again!"

"Qing Huan is angry? Can the young lady make an apology to you?" Chu Changle said, with his hands folded on his belly and his knees slightly bent.

Qing Huan hastily retreated to the side and supported Chu Changle, "Miss, no! There is no reason for a lady to plead guilty to a servant, if the prince finds out, he will definitely call Liu Changshi to bully me again!"

"Why did Meier bully you?" Chu Changle raised his eyebrows curiously.

"You don't know! Liu Changshi... She's so bad!" When mentioning Liu Mei, Qing Huan seemed to have started a chatterbox, and the words were full of grievance and anger at being bullied.

The more Chu Changle listened, the more the smile on his lips faded. He looked at Qing Huan with unclear meaning, and after a long time he let out a long breath and patted the back of Qing Huan's hand and said, "If she dares to bully you again, just come and tell me I, I will punish her!"

"Really?" Qing Huan's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately climbed to the corner of her mouth, vaguely feeling like she was paying attention.

"Really!" Chu Changle repeated it helplessly, and then said: "Okay, let's go too."

"Miss, do you want to go home?"

"No, let's go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion first."

……

"I said, what are you doing to make such trouble, just use a knife."

The closed door still couldn't stop the voice coming from inside, it sounded like Hu Mei's impatience, followed by Chu Changle's explanation from inside, it took a while to hear Hu Mei's impatience again humming.

"By the way, Rong Niang, how is the situation over there?"

Rong Niang put down her pen, thought for a while and said: "The person who arranged it has already connected with the person Li Taichang sent to investigate. In a few days, Li Taichang will be able to get the truth that has been covered up for nearly 20 years."

Rong Niang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Chang Le, is your method effective? With Li Taichang's cunning, he shouldn't be easily baited. Even if he believes it, he should find someone to replace him."

Chu Changle smiled lightly when he heard the words: "I have considered Rong Niang's concerns. If I had never chosen this bad strategy in the past, but now there is no time for me to take it slowly. Li Wei also can't wait too long. As long as I If he dares to take the bait, he will be eager to bite and take the bait, and I will not let him take the bait and escape."
