Chapter 11: Returning in a Hurry
86_86297 Yun Zirao opened the brocade box and saw a silver ticket inside, with a smile in her eyes.
"...... this?" Qingle couldn't help but be curious, stretched out his head to take a look, and gasped, "Ten million taels of silver tickets!" β
Li Mengshi raised his head suddenly, looked at the silver ticket in Yun Zirao's hand, and thought of the last time at the dinner table, the meat bun said that Yun Zirao pitted Ouyang Chenfeng Yinzi's interesting story, and his heart was clear, "Zirao, it seems that this Ouyang Gongzi ...... to you."
"Uncle, Ouyang Chenfeng is probably afraid that I will see him when I go back, and find a reason to dislike the gift he prepared, so he directly exchanged it for a silver ticket, which is considered his acquaintance!" Yun Zirao's domineering appearance made Li Mengshi laugh and shook his head, I don't want to talk about things between young people, and this matter is not a harmful thing.
At this time, it was already sunset, and the tea was not possible, so I had to drive the carriage directly back to Loei.
And at today's plum banquet, Yun Zirao's demeanor spread throughout Lanling City within a day......
Loei is located behind the city lord's mansion in Lanling City, the city lord's mansion is usually the place where Li Peng works during the day, and the east and west courtyards are all government soldiers, which are connected with the Loei behind it, but it is not connected together, it can be said that the Loei is a separate zΓ i.
As soon as the carriage reached the gate of the city lord's mansion, it was blocked from its way, and the noise and noise outside were endless.
"Madam, Miss, the one in front was stopped by the big brother of the City Lord's Mansion, and he can't go, shall we bypass or wait?" The little guy who was driving turned his head to the carriage and asked.
Yun Zirao lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, the streets were full of people.
"Go around and go home!" A few words of discussion in her ears made Yun Zirao feel a little anxious.
"Zirao, what's going on outside? The street in front of the City Lord's Mansion has always been quiet and orderly, why is there so many people surrounding at this time, could it be that something happened to the City Lord's Mansion? Lai looked out of the car window, uneasy.
The Li family has finally calmed down recently, and the arrival of Yun Zirao with the high priest of Qingfeng and Ouyang Gongzi has made the Li family gradually see hope, if something happens at this time, then ...... Li Mengshi didn't dare to think deeply, and his heart beat faster and faster.
The coachman heard the eagerness in Yun Zirao's words, turned the carriage, made a detour and sped up to Loei.
As soon as the carriage drove into Loei, Li Hua greeted him.
"Cousin Zirao, Daddy and High Priest Qingfeng are waiting for you in the flower hall, mother, the child will send you back to the room first." Li Hua's face was a little dignified, and his eyebrows were full of water, obviously something happened.
Li Mengshi knew that she was a housewife and didn't understand the big things in the officialdom mall, so she waved her hand at Li Hua and said: "It's good for me to go back with Qingle, Hua'er and Zirao go and get busy, Zirao don't worry, the things on the carriage, my uncle will help you send them to your room!" β
"Thank you, auntie, then Zirao and my cousin will go to the flower hall first." Yun Zirao hurriedly entered the flower hall, and saw Li Tingxuan and Yi Qingfeng talking in the flower hall, with anger and worry on her face.
"Great uncle, High Priest Qingfeng, what happened, why are there so many people on the street at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion?" As soon as you step into the flower hall, the question will also be released.
"Doctor Zhang and the two people in the dungeon of the other courtyard are dead, and they were killed in one move, and the bodies were sent to the lobby of the city lord's mansion, and some people spread rumors, saying that the city lord of Li killed three lives in order to avenge his personal revenge!"
"Flame King!" Yun Zirao gritted her teeth, her eyes flickered, and she immediately thought of the reason.
"Where is my grandfather at the moment?" When he left Loei in the morning, Li Peng went out to play with the meat buns, apparently not returning yet.
"Dusty Wind took Mozhu to find it, and it should be back in a while!" Yi Qingfeng shook his fan, thinking that Jin Aotian would be able to hold back King Lie's hands and feet, but it seemed that they still underestimated King Lie.
Yun Zirao took the tea handed over by Li Hua, took a sip, and said, "My uncle and cousin are here, and my grandfather is not in the mansion, so who is in charge of the city lord's mansion?" β
"It's Lord Meng, and nominally the deputy city lord." Li Tingxuan said that Master Meng's eyes ached, I don't know what he thought, and the aura on his body was a little strange.
"The Meng family, is it my uncle's maiden family?" Yun Zirao asked reflexively, and seeing that Li Tingxuan and Li Hua both lowered their heads and did not speak, it made her feel more and more strange.
The atmosphere in the flower hall was reduced to the extreme, and it was somewhat breathless.
"Mother!" Meat buns jumped into the flower hall, Yun Zirao turned around, and saw Ouyang Chenfeng following the meat buns, her eyes flashed, "Ouyang Gongzi, where is my grandfather?" β
"The city lord of Li insisted on going to the city lord's mansion ......"
"What?" Yun Zirao was shocked, now Li Peng's body couldn't bear these pressures, "High Priest Qingfeng, please take a trip, even if it is a point, or a faint, you have to bring my grandfather back, by the way, you can secretly start, let everyone see that your grandfather has been poisoned deeply, and his life is not long, as long as King Lie's eyeliner sees his grandfather's true physical condition, he should let go of the Li family!" β
Only if Li Peng really "had an accident", King Lie can rest assured, King Lie learned that Li Fu found out the spy and Dr. Zhang he planted in Loei, killing people is certain, but spreading rumors, obviously to force Li Peng to show up, if Li Peng is healthy and appears in front of everyone, then the news that Li Peng has been poisoned is false, and the crime of Dr. Zhang and others died, Li Peng will be difficult to wash away, which is obviously more beneficial to King Lie's plan, just grabbed Li Peng's handle, regardless of whether Li Peng killed Dr. Zhang and the three of them, I'm afraid I have also lost the hearts of the people of Lanling City!
King Lie can just seize the opportunity to support the Wang family to occupy Lanling City, but what makes Yun Zirao feel strange is that at the plum banquet today, except for the prince who came out of the Wang family, it seems that he has not seen the other Wang family, whether he has not come, or what is going on, maybe she can inquire when she sends poems to Mo Gongzi!
If Li Peng is really poisoned, then King Lie will be even more relieved, plus Jin Aotian returns to Beijing, he must be dedicated to confronting Jin Aotian, knowing that Li Peng's life is not long and confirmed, he will naturally not interfere in the affairs of Lanling City again, because what he is waiting for is Li Peng's death!
Yi Qingfeng thought about it, and then understood what Yun Zirao meant, and immediately flew towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Yun Zirao put down the worry about the situation in the City Lord's Mansion at the moment, and looked at Li Hua.
Today, at the plum banquet, she met the people of the Lu family and the Meng family, and her attitude was ...... The reason for this, Yun Zirao knows a little about the Lu family, but ...... the Meng family, Yun Zirao looked at Li Hua, the two ladies of the Lu family will definitely not give up after today's events, of course, Yun Zirao is not afraid, but if she makes a move against the Lu family, I just don't know if Li Hua will ......
Regarding the relationship between Li Hua and Miss Lu, childhood sweethearts, they can be regarded as having a deep affection, whether Miss Lu was forced to be helpless, or whether she was willing to go to the capital, Yun Zirao didn't know, and Li Hua's affection for Miss Lu was deep, she didn't know very well.
The weirdest thing is the Meng family, who was obviously very happy when they saw Li Meng's family, but they wanted to suppress it......
There is also the Shi family, Shi Qinyu, Mrs. Shi, especially Mrs. Shi's eyes when she saw her for the first time, she always felt as if she knew something......
"Ouyang Gongzi will talk to my uncle first, cousin, I have something I want to talk to you, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Hua raised his head, looked at Yun Zirao, looked at Yun Zirao's clear eyes, nodded subconsciously, and followed Yun Zirao out of the flower hall.
Loei Garden, except for the snow that has been swept away on the path where everyone walks on weekdays, the rest of the place is still snow-white, and the branches of the trees are hung with crystal clear ice edges, which are refracted in the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Cousin, can you tell me about you and Miss Lu?" Yun Zirao turned her head and glanced at Li Hua, her voice was tactful, straight to the point.
"Huh?!" Li Hua was a little surprised, glanced at Yun Zirao, and then began to be silent, Yun Zirao was not in a hurry, just silently accompanied him for a walk.
When they arrived at the rockery pavilion in the garden, the pavilion was very clean, but it was very cold, the two walked up slowly, Li Hua took a deep breath and opened his mouth quietly.
"For as long as I can remember, I've heard from my mother about me and my dreams...... I made a relationship with Miss Lu, and after Miss Lu and Miss Lu arrived, I came to propose marriage and married her home!
When I was ten years old, Miss Lu was six years old, it was the first time we met, in the tea room, she poured tea for me and my mother, every move, all dignified and appropriate, the etiquette was thorough, and her face was delicate, I was very happy, she seemed to be very satisfied with me, so the marriage of the Li and Lu families was settled......"
Blind date at the age of six! Yun Zirao is a little staggered, is this ancient person a little precocious and a little terrifying!
Rou Baozi is only five years old, and she doesn't understand marriage at all, Yun Zirao really can't imagine that she wants to popularize the knowledge of marriage and love for Rou Baozi when she is six years old? !
Forehead...... The goosebumps on her body fell to the ground, and Yun Zirao was a little cold!
"Since then, as long as someone in Lanling City holds a banquet, my mother will take me there, as the name suggests, to meet with Miss Lu, cultivate feelings, especially the annual plum banquet, and walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms together!
But ......" Speaking of this, Li Hua showed a touch of self-deprecation on his face, which made people feel sad and distressed from the bottom of their hearts for no reason.
"Since the second uncle went to Beijing and had an accident, the attitude of the Lu family has changed, at first it was only a decrease in the number of contacts with the Li family, and then the second lady Lu gradually began to refuse me to meet Miss Lu, and even many banquets were not refused, and Miss Lu was not allowed to go out.
At that time, thinking that the two families had already made a marriage contract after all, there should be no surprises, but Mrs. Lu felt that Miss Lu had grown up and wanted to avoid suspicion, so as not to damage the reputation of the girl's family, so she didn't think much about it.
Until his father returned from an accident on the way to Beijing......" Li Hua showed a little sadness on his face, and Yun Zirao saw it, and could guess some clues.
"The Lu family sent people to visit, but there was disrespect and contempt in the words, my father was the only heir to the city lord of Lanling City, those who used to call my father brothers and sisters, and those who were respectful to me were far away after my father's accident, and the Lu family was no different!
My mother was angry, but when she thought of her father and my future, for the sake of my marriage with Miss Lu, on the day my father recovered and went to the ground, a banquet was held in the house and the Lu family was invited, but the Lu family only sent a housekeeper and sent Miss Lu's Geng post! β
This move of the Lu family is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for everyone in the Li family, once the man and woman exchange Geng posts, they will be considered fiancΓ©s!
"Later, after my cousin exchanged Geng posts with Miss Lu, did I meet again?"
"Yes, yes, but Miss Lu...... I always thought that this was a reserved move of the girl's family, and when I came back to tell my mother, my mother also praised Miss Lu for being knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and knew how to avoid it, but the funny thing is that the Lu family is too good at acting!
The year before last, Miss Lu and Lu, the Li family gave the Lu family a big gift, which naturally means that they want to marry Miss Lu and go through the door, and hire them, regularly, step by step, there is no shortage of everything, and they have enough face, at that time, the whole Lanling City was talking about it, everyone knew that his father was in trouble, and he would not be able to inherit the position of the city lord, and the position of the city lord of Lanling City naturally fell on the head of me, the grandson of the Li family.
At that time, the little maids in the house were all talking in private about Miss Lu, good luck, as soon as she married into the Li family, she would be the wife of the city lord of Lanling City soon after...... It's just that this marriage is just a joke!
A month and a half before the wedding, the Lu family returned all the items such as the dowry of the Li family, as the name suggests, the grandfather heard about it, and fell ill in bed, the father went to the Lu family to reason, but was slandered by the Lu family, and the mother was busy taking care of the grandfather...... So this marriage was settled, and the Li family once became the laughing stock of Lanling City! β
Li Hua clenched his fists, his eyes were full of hatred and anger, thinking that he was a dignified seven-foot man, but he couldn't defend his marriage, and he lost all his face, but he also affected the entire Li family.
"I went to find Miss Lu, the Lu family was closed, for several days, I finally found an opportunity, Miss Lu went to the largest jewelry store in Lanling City to buy jewelry, when I saw her, she was smiling and Mrs. Lu was picking jewelry, in this life, I can't forget the dazzling smile on her face!
Xu is my gaze is too hot, she saw me, a trace of discomfort flashed on her face, I thought she was sorry for appearing with such an expression, but the second lady Lu said a word, let me sweep the face on the street of Lanling City again, and she just nodded in agreement! β
Yun Zirao looked into the distance, what was what Second Mrs. Lu said, it is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than that Miss Lu has a better candidate, and she wants to marry to the palace of King Lie in the capital as a side concubine or something, Yun Zirao knows very well, even if Miss Lu stops her a little, Li Hua will never lock himself up in Li Mansion for nearly two years, it is obvious that Miss Lu has no affection for Li Hua, and the previous one is just a play.
And the purpose, right now, combined with the matter of King Lie, the corners of Yun Zirao's mouth hooked, the Lu family must have colluded with King Lie's Mansion for a long time, and the reason why Miss Lu was acting with Li Hua was either to find out the news of Li Mansion from Li Hua's mouth, or to anger Li Peng! Hit the Li family!
King Lie poisoned Li Peng, coupled with the blow of the Li family's trivial matters, Li Peng's body will only get worse and worse, and his life will pass slowly, in this way, if Li Peng dies, in the eyes of outsiders, it will only be worry and worry, such a step-by-step method, and the most important reason is that King Lie did not have enough grasp and ability at that time to push the Wang family to the position of the city lord's mansion in Lanling City after Li Peng's death!
But now it's different, King Lie's wings are getting fuller, and he has begun to poison Jin Aotian, not to mention the Li family, the Li family finally has hope now, and they have regained their vitality, Yun Zirao doesn't want the Li family to have another accident!
Before, King Lie frequently shot and sent people to assassinate, Yun Zirao thought that if she didn't live in the Li family, she would not bring disaster to the Li family, but she didn't expect that King Lie's heart to deal with the Li family had already started many years ago!
Now, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion must have also received a flying pigeon message, today at the plum banquet of Fengmo Xuan, the relationship between her and the Li family was also exposed, and the Lie King would soon receive the news, Yun Zirao only hoped that Jin Aotian could contain the Lie King and prevent him from having any more energy to disperse to Lanling City! Give the Li family a chance to breathe!
"Cousin, it is said that the world is as black as a crow, Miss Lu is actually the same, I would rather be a black crow flying on the branches than be the golden phoenix in your heart, in this case, you don't have to be sad, the rejuvenation of the Li family is in sight, my cousin is the grandson of the Li family, the burden is on his shoulders, and he will have a successful career in the future, so why worry about not meeting a sincere person!"
Yun Zirao patted Li Hua's shoulder, and the words she said shocked Li Hua's heart!
"My cousin is a woman, but she has such knowledge, it really makes my cousin ashamed......" A few red clouds flew on Li Hua's face, with a little embarrassment and inferiority.
"Cousin is praising me, or is he hurting me, the so-called bystanders are clear, the authorities are fascinated, my cousin is in a fascination and doesn't know it, but he is still humble, today my cousin followed Ouyang Gongzi to prepare to open a fried chicken restaurant, and there will be an income in the future, if you are suitable, my cousin will be very unhappy, and when my cousin earns money by self-reliance, I will first compensate my cousin for a thousand taels of mental damage! Okay, that's it, my cousin can't refuse, skip the Lu family's affairs, and my cousin will tell me about the Meng family......"
"......Forehead" Li Hua's expression has not yet been reflected, so he inexplicably owes Yun Zirao a thousand taels of silver, looking at Yun Zirao with tears and laughter, sitting by the pavilion, leisurely and proud, which makes Li Hua feel helpless, but the haze and inferiority complex in his heart have been swept away, but he is a little embarrassed for Yun Zirao to ask about the Meng family.
"Today at the plum banquet, I was fortunate to meet Mrs. Meng and the two young ladies of the Meng family, both of whom are lovely, Zirao came to Lanling City, and she hasn't made a good friend yet......" Yun Zirao noticed Li Hua's embarrassed expression, and immediately pouted and pretended to be pitiful, Li Hua couldn't see a woman so "coquettish", and immediately raised her hand to surrender.
"Zirao, the matter of my grandfather's family...... In fact...... Alas......" Li Hua opened his mouth twice, but he didn't know how to tell Yun Zirao, and finally sighed deeply and said: "Zirao, you also heard what your father said, today's accident in the City Lord's Mansion is handled by Lord Meng, Lord Meng is actually my uncle, my mother's half-brother, my grandfather married two wives in his life, but he didn't live long, outsiders say that my grandfather is a wife."
In fact, the Li family and the Meng family have no entanglement, but their mother and grandfather...... When my father had an accident, it happened that my uncle had taken the merit test and was promoted to the deputy city lord of Lanling City, and my grandfather saw that the Li family had frequent accidents, and he had suspicions that someone was deliberately attacking the Li family, so he moved his mind and wanted his grandfather to temporarily hand over Lanling City to his uncle to divert the other party's attention.
My grandfather was a cold-hearted person, and he didn't want to say a lot of things, and his grandfather was shaken at that time, but unfortunately his mother didn't know the truth, misunderstood his grandfather, and returned to the Meng family to make a big fuss, and broke off the relationship with the Meng family in a fit of anger, and never stepped into the door of the Meng family again, and no one was allowed to mention the Meng family at home, and the grandfather and father were useless to persuade them, so they simply ......"
No wonder...... Yun Zirao actually understood a little bit of Li Meng's psychology at that time, Li Tingxuan had just been born, and the Meng family, as her maiden family, should have been cold and warm, and cared about it, but unfortunately Grandfather Meng was ...... Li Mengshi didn't know the inside story, so he naturally thought that Grandfather Meng had bad intentions, and Li Hua said that Grandfather Meng married two wives, and Master Meng was not Li Meng's own brother, so he was somewhat distrusted by Li Meng's family, and this back and forth deepened Li Meng's anger......
"Cousin, is it true that Grandfather Meng hasn't come to the Li family since then?"
"Well, my grandfather was hurt by his mother, not only did he cut off contact with the Li family, but he almost lost his uncle's official title as deputy city lord, and later my grandfather came forward to ......"
This is a misunderstanding...... Grandfather Meng was obviously kind, but because he didn't explain the situation in advance, he was misunderstood by his daughter, obviously it was just a trivial matter, but because of the situation at the time, the so-called heredity, Yun Zirao estimated that Li Meng's stubbornness must be the same as Grandfather Meng's, hurtful words came out, and the two of them were stubborn and stubborn and unwilling to turn back, and when they wanted to redeem themselves, they found that it was too long, and when they thought about it again, they had not forgiven before, and after a long time, they must have been even more unwilling to forgive, so they ......
"Cousin, I have a way to get my aunt and Grandfather Meng to reunite, but you have to help me!" Since it is a misunderstanding, it is good to solve it, Yun Zirao remembered that Li Mengshi saw Mrs. Meng's expression today, and knew that Li Mengshi regretted and was sad in his heart! Presumably Grandfather Meng is the same!
Li Hua's eyes were happy, "Cousin, do you really have a way?" β
"Of course, you'll have to wait and see!"
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, as soon as Li Peng appeared, he was besieged by the people, Meng Lingfeng saw Li Peng, his face was even darker, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "City Lord Li, why are you here, look at this ......" Meng Lingfeng looked at the people gathered outside the City Lord's Mansion, and for a while, he was helpless, and wanted to persuade him, but he had no chance to speak at all.
Li Peng nodded to Meng Lingfeng, first walked to the three corpses, checked them, turned his head and asked the servant on the side, "When was this corpse found, and what was the cause of death?" β
"If you go back to the city lord, the body was sent to the lobby of the city lord's mansion at noon, and the three of them were poisoned, this is the murder weapon!" He brought over a white porcelain bowl with three purple needles in the bowl.
In the past two days, because of the company of meat buns and the conditioning of Yi Qingfeng's medicine, Li Peng's complexion looked quite normal, and this scene fell on the eyes of the King of Lie outside the city lord's mansion, which was really bad!
"City Lord Li, it is rumored outside that you have been deeply poisoned and your life is short, why do you look like nothing at the moment?"
"That's it, Dr. Zhang has always had an excellent reputation in Lanling City, how could he do something poisonous? Why did he only enter the City Lord's Mansion yesterday and die in Huangquan today, isn't it the City Lord of Li......
"And those two, I heard that they have been in Loei for five or six years, they are both honest people, why ......?"
"City Lord Li, you have always been righteous in the eyes of the people, but you are all pretending, such a hypocritical and righteous person is not worthy of being the city lord of our Lanling City!"
"Yes, unworthy, unworthy!"
"Unworthy ......"
The voices of the people outside the city lord's mansion were higher and higher, Li Peng heard these words, his heart was cold, and his steps were a little vain, when Yi Qingfeng arrived, he saw Li Peng's face pale, hidden in the dark, and looked outside the city lord, and sure enough, he saw several eyeliner staring at Li Peng, and quickly took out a small pebble from his arms, and in the blink of an eye, it bounced to Li Peng's vest acupuncture point......
"Poof!" Immediately after, his body fell limply.
The inside and outside of the City Lord's Mansion were instantly quiet, everyone knew that normal blood was bright red, but the blood that Li Peng spurted out was purple-black, it was obvious......
Meng Lingfeng immediately stepped forward, helped Li Peng's body up, and handed it to the government soldiers on the side, "Send the city lord of Li back to the Li Mansion first!" β
"Everyone has also seen it, the body of the city lord of Li...... Today's matter, why don't you think about it carefully, the city lord of Li was obviously poisoned by Dr. Zhang, the human and material evidence is there, if you want Dr. Zhang's life, you only need three sessions of trial, conviction and beheading, why do you have to go to such great lengths to poison, and these two subordinates of the Li Mansion have signed a deed of sale, but they have betrayed the master's family, even if it is a random stick to death, it is not an exaggeration, but the city lord of Li is just put in prison......"
"Yes, City Lord Li has been a city lord in Lanling City for decades, and he has always been fair and honest......" Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally someone stood up.
"Yes, you can see the blood stains on the ground, they are purple and black, it is obvious that the body of the Lord of Li City is highly poisonous, it is not ......fake at all."
"yes, yes......"
As Li Peng vomited blood and fell, in an instant, the words of the people outside the city lord's mansion changed, and several eyeliners hidden in the crowd left one after another, they had already got the news they wanted, and they didn't need to fan the flames!
Meng Lingfeng's face turned from worry to joy, and when he saw the change in the attitude of the people, he immediately spoke again to persuade him, and finally returned Li Peng's innocence for pretending to be poisoned and murdered.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Yi Qingfeng flew away from the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and watched the two government soldiers send Li Peng to Li's house, and followed him in.
Li Tingxuan, Li Hua and Yun Zirao saw Li Peng coming back in a coma, they had expected it a long time ago, and they were anxious, but they were a little less afraid, everyone sent Li Peng to the East Courtyard, Yi Qingfeng appeared, and immediately gave Li Peng a pulse.
"The city lord of Li is fine, but he can't be stimulated anymore, he must stay in bed these days to recuperate!" Yi Qingfeng knew very well the strength of his attack, but it just made Li Peng spit out the mouthful of blood that was suppressed in his heart, and it was not a big deal for Li Peng's body.
"Mother, when will grandpa arrive? And Daddy, when will you come back? Seeing Li Peng lying on the bed, the little guy's eyes were full of worry and fear, Yun Zirao hugged the meat bun into her arms and comforted: "Daddy sent a message to grandpa, grandpa will be able to come soon, as for daddy, when the Chinese New Year comes, he will be back!" β
"Chinese New Year? Today, my great-grandfather told me that there are still ten days to go before the New Year, so will my father come back in ten days? Meat bun blinked with big eyes and anticipation in his eyes.
"Hmm!" Yun Zirao nodded, although in her heart, she was not sure whether Jin Aotian would be able to rush back by then, but in her heart, she was as hopeful as the meat buns.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, the news of Li Peng's poisoning and dying spread again in Lanling City, this time it was different from before, this time it was seen by many people, many people who had received Li Peng's favor began to send things to the Li family, and the Li family closed the door and put it at the door of the Li family.
Li Tingxuan had no choice but to promise the people, only accept this time, it was enough to have their hearts, which stopped the people from giving gifts.
Liewang's Mansion.
After receiving the news of Li Peng's critical illness and the news of Yun Zirao's true relationship with the Li family, King Lie was summoned into the palace by a holy decree of Emperor Jin.
On the Jinluan Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on one side, the Jin Emperor was high, his eyes were like torches, looking at the two corpses in the center of the hall, I didn't know what he was thinking, Jin Aotian put his hands in his sleeves and stood at the head of the important ministers.
"Lord Lie has arrived!"
"Xuan!"
"Long live the emperor when you knock on me!" King Lie bowed and bowed, unhappy, since he can remember, he was not allowed to go to the court, unless summoned by the emperor, he could only stay in the palace, and was placed under house arrest in disguise, but now...... King Lie sneered in his heart, Li Peng was about to die, he caught Jin Aotian's weakness again, and it won't be long before the world of this Jin Kingdom will be his!
The old immortal in the harem drugged him, but he still couldn't stop him from having a son!
"King Lie, let's be flat!" The majestic voice of the Golden Emperor was very cold and faint, which made King Lie's heart skip a beat.
Although he is constantly moving in the palace, they are all very secretive, even if Emperor Jin and Jin Aotian have suspicions, but they have not been able to catch the handle so far, except for Feng Zhenwei's time, but a few days ago he has found the whereabouts of Feng Zhenwei and others, as long as the bloodthirsty comes back from Lanling City, let alone one Feng Zhenwei, even if it is ten Feng Zhenwei, he will not put it in his eyes!
"Emperor Xie!" After King Lie got up, he lowered his head and stood at the end of the courtiers, as always respectful and humble, which made Emperor Jin's eyebrows wrinkle deeper, and the courtiers in the hall did not dare to come out, and when he came to the court early in the morning, he saw two corpses in the center of the hall, and after quietly asking, he learned that it was brought by the regent, and the dead person was the person sent by the king of Lie to assassinate the regent and Feng Zhenwei!
Even if there are many henchmen of the Lie King in the court at this moment, they don't dare to open their mouths lightly, and today everyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor and the regent are going to make a move against the Lie King, so they are caught off guard, they are too late to protect themselves, how dare they intercede with the Lie King.
"King Lie, I summoned you to the palace today to let you identify two people!"
"Please also ask my emperor to announce that the person who needs to be identified by the minister will come to the palace." The Liewang's voice was gentle, and no one could feel his disloyalty in the slightest.
Emperor Jin's eyes flashed, and he exchanged a look with Jin Aotian, and said, "King Lie can see it as soon as he looks up!" β
From beginning to end, King Lie entered the main hall, all bowed his head and obeyed, at this moment listening to Emperor Jin let him raise his head, his heart beat again, a smile appeared in his eyes, he raised his head, his face was humble, and he was afraid and obedient to Emperor Jin, but when he saw the two corpses lying in the center of the hall, King Lie's eyes widened, and several dark rays flashed under his eyes, and his face also darkened.
"Bloodthirsty, wolf-devouring, the two generals under the command of King Lie, or the shadow guard given to you when the emperor was alive, King Lie, what else do you have to say?"
"General Xuanfeng goes to the palace!" Without waiting for King Lie to speak, Jin Aotian shouted outside the door of the main hall, and Feng Zhenwei, who had been waiting for a long time, wore armor and a big sword at his waist, and went up to the main hall.
In the Jin Kingdom, the generals above the third rank can wear weapons to the palace, such a regulation naturally has a certain threat to the safety of the emperor, but it is also for this threat that the emperors of the Jin Kingdom are required to practice martial arts diligently.
"Minister Feng Zhenwei knocked on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Feng Aiqing, please, is the injury okay?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the minister's body is only a skin injury, and it has long been fine, but the minister is not angry!"
Emperor Jin naturally knew what Feng Zhenwei was talking about, and he didn't stop it, Jin Aotian gave Feng Zhenwei a look, Feng Zhenwei understood, and immediately continued: "As early as three years ago, the minister was coerced and lured by the prince of Lie, and let the minister take refuge, the minister is a rough man, he can only fight soldiers, don't care about other things, King Lie saw that the minister was dead, so he asked Zhao Xuan, the city lord of Qingcheng who was named with the minister on the gold list, to lobby, the minister has not agreed, and the king of Lie has a grudge!" Knowing that the regent appeared in the Peach Blossom Niangzi Temple in Yucheng, he sent someone to assassinate him, and his subordinates devoured wolves, beheaded the concubine who had just become pregnant, and used his corpse as bait......"
Feng Zhenwei's words were vigorous, reasonable, and the matter of his complaint in Beijing had already been known to everyone, and when everyone heard the real reason at this time, their eyes were a little shocked when they looked at King Lie.
Just because he didn't surrender, he even killed the pregnant concubine, it can be seen that King Lie is a ruthless person, such a person took refuge in him, and there will be no good end in the future! For a while, the ministers above the hall who had become under the command of King Lie were all cold.
"After listening to General Feng's words, after reading the corpses of the bloodthirsty and wolf-devouring corpses, is there an explanation?" Emperor Jin's eyes were like a sword, shooting at Jin Zhongshu, recalling in his mind that the seven-year-old King Rui just accidentally pushed him, and he was thrown into the lotus pond in the imperial garden and drowned, seeing the young corpse of King Rui, but the corners of his mouth sneered, such a smile, cold, evil, no humanity at all, but it is a pity that he has a good mother concubine, for him to apologize......
"Hahaha...... Emperor Jin, are you making a move against this king in an open and honest manner? Jin Zhongshu raised his head and laughed arrogantly, his previous disguised face was all torn apart, revealing a hideous face.
The courtiers in the main hall trembled with fear when they saw King Lie like this, especially Wenchen!
"Come on, take down the Lie King!" Emperor Jin saw Jin Zhongshu going crazy and directly issued a holy decree.
"Who dares, this king has the holy decree of the first emperor!"
Emperor Jin's eyes shrank, and a trace of severe pain flashed in his eyes, "What about the holy decree of the first emperor, the holy decree only said to protect your life, but it did not say that you should not be punished, from now on, the Liewang Jin Zhongshu will deprive him of the title of the prince, confine the Liewang Mansion, and will not leave the palace for life, except for Jin Zhongshu's wife and concubine, the Liewang Mansion shall not leave a superfluous person!" β
"You ......" Jin Zhongshu pointed at Emperor Jin, his eyes showed a fierce light, and in the future and resistance, he was stepped forward by Jin Aotian and clicked on the acupoint.
"Take it away!"
The left and right Imperial Forest Army went to the hall and carried Jin Zhongshu out of the main hall.
There was silence in the main hall, and only fast and slow breathing could be heard......
"Retreat!"
In the imperial study, Emperor Jin and Jin Aotian sat facing each other, and they did not relax at all about the confinement of King Lie.
"Aotian, it is indeed the best policy to attack its unpreparedness by surprise, but ......"
"The emperor doesn't have to worry, those 50,000 hidden soldiers will eventually be exposed to the blue sky and white sun, and now he will not dare to act rashly, he is not completely sure, he can only stay in the Liewang Mansion in peace!"
Emperor Jin nodded, indeed, the two arm-like subordinates of Bloodthirsty and Wolf Devouring have died, and all the secret guards and killers have been eliminated in the past few days, except for the 50,000 hidden soldiers, he has no hole cards, and those ministers in the court should also be cleared!
"Your Majesty, the royal family of Lanling City!"
"Aotian, the holy decree of the Wang family has been sent to Lanling City, Wang Shigui has neglected his duties, and he is disrespect......ful to the decree" Emperor Jin's eyes burst with fine light, Jin Aotian ignored it, holding the letter sent by the goshawk in his hand, and his heart was warm.
"Your Majesty, since the affairs of the capital have come to an end, the ministers ......"
"Aotian, I heard that Miss Yun is the concubine of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, but this Zhongyi Hou and him have also been very close, you have to be careful!" Emperor Jin had a little worry on his face, from the bottom of his heart.
Jin Aotian glanced at Emperor Jin, didn't make a sound, stood up directly, and left the imperial study.
Back at the palace, the goshawk landed in front of the window of the study, Jin Aotian walked to the desk, quickly wrote a creed, and stuffed it into the bamboo tube on the goshawk's feet, and there were only four words on the creed.
Soon!.
