Chapter 1507 Pearl Has Become His only Goal at This Time!
As Liu Wei expected, after Ji Nanzheng took Xiao Li back to the room, the little guy smacked his face a few times and he stopped crying.
Ji Nanzheng asked Xiao Li to sit on a chair and asked, "Why do you want to go to the National Elephant Prison?"
On the carriage during the day, he spoke clearly, and Xiao Li clearly agreed without hesitation, but when he turned around, the child ran away to the most dangerous place. As a parent, Ji Nanzheng wanted to know what Xiao Li was thinking.
Simply naughty? Or is there some other purpose?
In Ji Nanzheng's eyes, Xiao Li is a little genius. Maybe a genius's ideas are different from ordinary people's?
Xiao Li didn't know how to explain it. His great-grandfather had clearly stipulated that he could not contact the National Master in private, but he still knew it. Although it was out of curiosity at first, but after thinking about it carefully, how worried would his family be if he was trapped in the National Elephant Prison? .
Not to mention anything else, it was his mother who, although she beat and killed him, was definitely worried at first. Uncle Rong was even more serious. He brought so many soldiers and surrounded the National Elephant Prison.
From this point of view, no matter how much trouble his wanton behavior caused to the adults, it was still unnecessary trouble.
He also felt guilty, tears welled up in his eyes and rolled down silently.
Ji Nanzheng said hurriedly: "My great-grandpa just wants to know what you think. I don't blame you. Don't cry. Just know that you are wrong. My great-grandpa will go to your mother's place and tell you. Don't be afraid."
Xiao Li shook his head, stood up and ran to his grandfather's arms, buried his face in his arms, and choked with sobs: "I'm sorry..."
Ji Nanzheng hugged him distressedly: "Just don't do it next time. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Xiao Li raised his head, sniffed and looked at Grandpa. After hesitating for a while, he still said: "That Imperial Master did indeed do bad things. Grandpa is right. I shouldn't be conceited and want to save him."
Ji Nanzheng was stunned and asked the child to sit on his lap: "Speak slowly."
Xiao Li bit her mouth and explained what she saw and heard, even analyzing it step by step. "At first, I didn't know what the Taoist priest and the woman were talking about. They were just whispering, but they were very wary of their surroundings. I was found on the roof, and then the whole hospital searched for me. Brother Yunmi said, Guoxiang The prison is divided into outer hall and inner hall. The outer hall is like an ordinary Taoist temple for believers to enter.
It was not fortified when I came out, but the inner palace was indeed under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it had the atmosphere of an official court. When my mother and uncle Rong picked me up, I heard the imperial master calling himself "my official", that is to say, the imperial master. He is an official. "
Ji Nanzheng asked Xiao Li to sit up straight, and then asked: "You said he did do bad things? Did you see anything?" Xiao Li shook his head: "I didn't see it, but I can infer it. I just said it, the national elephant is outside the prison The looseness of the temple and the thoroughness of the inner temple are extremes. It is normal for me to eavesdrop in the inner hall and be found and be searched. But Pearl told me that even the outer hall is sealed, and all believers are not allowed to enter or exit, and all must be searched. , then is this battle too big? Put yourself in my shoes, Grandpa, if it were you, as a Taoist, you were talking freely with a female believer in your room, and then someone passed by your door, you You may be curious if someone is eavesdropping or if someone wants to do something wrong to you.
Li, but will you seal off the entire house without saying a word? Great Grandpa, this is no ordinary house, it is the National Elephant Supervisor, a department of the imperial court. "
Ji Nanzheng frowned: "So you suspect..." "This is a reasonable suspicion." Xiao Li said: "The National Elephant Supervisor's overreaction made me have doubts. Only when secrets are eavesdropped will they do whatever they can." The arrest of the murderer happened, so I thought about it and thought that what I overheard might be secrets, although I don’t know what those contents are.
Meaning, but since it is a secret, and it is a large secret that can seal the inner and outer halls with labor, it means that this is very important, so important that I have become a key figure. "
Ji Nanzheng took a deep breath: "It's too dangerous, it's really too dangerous!" "Actually, it's not that dangerous. After all, I can still fight." Xiao Li added, "The national master has seen me, and I didn't want to at first. Although I am just a child, no one will think that I am an assassin even if I show up due to my appearance. However, because the Imperial Master has seen me, my suspicion index will inevitably increase greatly, which is disadvantageous. So I couldn't show up. Even Pearl offered to let me leave with Gugu's eagles, but I refused. My face was seen in the clear sky. Even if I could escape immediately, the national master would point suspicion at you, Grandpa. This pair is too
Grandpa will be a trouble to my mother, Uncle Rong, and I can’t bring the trouble home. "
Ji Nanzheng was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he said excitedly: "You should come back, just run away. If they want to cause trouble, I can't be afraid of your great grandfather!"
Xiao Li lowered his eyes: "But I don't want to..." After saying that, without waiting for Ji Nanzheng's reply, Xiao Li said again: "After Pearl was attacked, I had to show up. When I appeared in front of the national master again, I I was worried. I thought that I would be pinched by him and that he would use me to suspect my great-grandfather. But to my surprise, although the Imperial Master recognized me, his attention was not on me. When looking at Gugu, he was afraid of Gugu. This is a psychological activity that I don’t quite understand. Gugu is just an eagle. So what is the source of the national master’s fear? Then, the national master’s attention shifted to On Pearl, I was holding Pearl, and he looked at us. In his eyes, there was possessiveness for Pearl. My appearance in his eyes was strange, but he was more interested in why I was with Gugu. , Pearl together, in other words, it doesn’t matter whether I am the assassin who eavesdropped on the wall. When the Taoist priest sent people to search for me in the whole palace, the state master was very concerned about whether the inner palace broke into the eavesdropping bandits. I There is reason to suspect that what I overheard was very important in the eyes of the Taoist priest and the woman, but insignificant in the eyes of the Imperial Master. And because of this insignificance, the Imperial Master was only interested in pearls.
curious. "
Ji Nanzheng was also confused: "What does Zhenzhu and Gugu have to do with the National Elephant Supervisor?" "It just doesn't matter." Xiao Li didn't understand either: "Zhenzhu and Gugu are both exotic birds, not local birds. The National Elephant Supervisor does not I may have seen them, but the strange thing is that Pearl's eyes turn golden when she is angry, or when she is emotional. I have witnessed it with my own eyes, and it cannot be fake.
"
Ji Nanzheng was stunned: "Is there such a thing?" Xiao Li waved his hand: "Pearl has always had some problems. Suddenly one day, it became fond of the wild. Even before coming to Xianyan Kingdom, I clearly remembered that Pearl was in the waves. It had drowned, but later, it came back to life. I thought I had seen it wrong, but if I think about it carefully, there are too many doubts about Pearl's resurrection from the dead, its change in temperament, and even its eyes. , and the Imperial Master seemed to know the source of these doubts. Through the pearls, he saw something important that none of us knew. This was also his motive for capturing the pearls, and even Uncle Rong and his mother
When he picked me up, he had no time to keep me. My existence was obviously so suspicious, but he couldn't care less. What he wanted became very clear after Pearl appeared. "
Ji Nanzheng: "This... what is this..." Xiao Li added: "So through this series of appearances, I came to several conclusions. First, I may have overheard very important content in the National Elephant Prison, and second, This content is not very important in the eyes of the imperial master, but it is very important in the eyes of the Taoist priest and the woman in the room. Let’s boldly assume that if these three
Individuals are colluding. What I heard poses a threat to Taoist priests and women. They can’t wait to catch me. But in the eyes of the national preceptor, he doesn’t care whether Taoist priests and women are finished. Taoist priests and women are okay with him. Abandoned. "
This guess, when the content of the matter cannot be determined, this superficial guess is somewhat inconsistent with logic. It can be deduced in reverse. Such a conclusion is not impossible. Xiao Li continued: "Third, pearls and Gugu are very important to the national master. This importance is higher than Taoist priests and women, and also higher than me. Then I will put everything in order, and it will be: The master conspired with the Taoist priest and the woman, and I overheard it. The Taoist priest and the woman were very scared, so they made a fuss about arresting me. But at this time, the national master discovered the pearl. The matter between the Taoist priest and the woman became unimportant, and the pearl became his life. The only goal at the time.”
