Chapter 109: The Arrogant Prisoner
Wang Quan, Lin Taiqi and others tied up the three people with spirit ropes, escorted them to the Li family's meeting hall, and began to interrogate the three people.
Before the interrogation began, Cao Shaoshuai said: "If you dare to arrest us, you have caused a big disaster! Do you know who we are? We are members of the Cao family, the eight major families of the Imperial City. We were ordered by the eldest prince and the patriarch of the Cao family to go out of the mountain city to punish the Li family. The people of the Li family had better accept our punishment obediently, and the rest of the people who have nothing to do with it had better not get involved, otherwise you will all die. ”
When Wang Quan and the others heard this, they were really frightened: Is this true? The eldest prince and the Cao family actually sent people out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family, why is this? Did Li Yuan commit any crime in the capital? Or offended the eldest prince and the Cao family? If Li Yuan committed any crime in the capital, it should be that the government should have sent troops and officers and soldiers to destroy the Li family, and it should not have sent these three people. If they offended the eldest prince and the Cao family, and the eldest prince and the Cao family wanted to destroy the Li family, then these three people should not expose the eldest prince and the Cao family so blatantly.
Although in the eyes of the eldest prince and the Cao family, a small Li family out of the mountain city is nothing at all, and killing the Li family is as easy as swatting a mosquito to death, but as the eldest prince and the Cao family, such a blatant and blatant extermination of a family should damage their reputation, right?
Could it be that Cao Tao of the Cao family invited the eldest prince and the Cao family to destroy the Li family. I heard that Cao Tao of the Cao family is doing well in the capital. But no matter how good it is, it won't make the eldest prince and the Cao family send someone to destroy the Li family!
And what worries everyone is that since the eldest prince and the Cao family have sent people to eliminate the Li family, what is happening to Li Yuan now?
Everyone didn't even dare to imagine what was happening to Li Yuan now.
Seeing the arrogant appearance of these three people, Wang Quan and the others really didn't dare to do anything to them, Wang Guangming and the others gathered together and discussed for a while, and finally decided to escort the three of them to the prison of the City Lord's Mansion, clean up the three cells, equip them with bedding, tables, chairs, benches and other items, put the three of them in, and entertained them with good food and drink.
Then Wang Guangming sent people to the county seat quickly to report the matter to the city lord Lin Yinghao.
In fact, Cao Shaoshuai and the three of them also have bitter words, and they are very arrogant on the surface, but they all know that things are messed up. If they don't lift out the eldest prince and the imperial city Cao family, the three of them will have endless hardships, and they will even be hacked to death with knives. But when the eldest prince and the Cao family in the imperial city were brought out, how should this matter end? At that time, Cao Shao had asked them to simply kill the Li family. Now that the matter has been exposed, what kind of bad impact will this have on the eldest prince and the Cao family?
Such a major event happened in Izuyama City, and all the families naturally got the news. The patriarch of the Cao family was overjoyed when he got the news; This must be Cao Tao asking the eldest prince and the imperial city Cao family to send people out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family! This is great, although the three people from the capital did not destroy the Li family this time, but a small Li family is nothing at all in the eyes of the eldest prince and the imperial city Cao family. Cao Tao can let the eldest prince and the Cao family send people to destroy the Li family, which shows that Cao Tao is very good in the capital. People and families like the eldest prince and the Cao family are impossible for ordinary people to get acquainted. For a period of time, the patriarch of the Cao family and the Cao family have been aggrieved, seeing that Wang Quan and Lin Taiqi are sitting in the mountain city, the cultivation of the Wang family and the Li family has all been miraculously improved, and they have left their Cao family far behind. Now that the Cao family has destroyed the Li family and the Wang family, they are not even the opponents of the two families at all.
Li Tianan, the patriarch of the Li family, and Wang Guangming, the city lord of the Wang family, are both fifth-level martial artists. And the number of people at the martial arts level of the two families is very large. Their Cao family will never even be able to sit on an equal footing with others, let alone want to destroy the Li family and the Wang family. The days when the Cao family used to show off their might and be arrogant and domineering in the mountain city will no longer appear.
Now that Cao Tao of their family suddenly invited people from the imperial city to come out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family, who would dare to be disrespectful to the Cao family in the future! The Cao family no longer has to shrink their heads and handle things cautiously in the mountain city.
After the patriarch of the Cao family reported this matter to the ancestor of the Cao family, the two immediately decided to send a martial artist-level clansman to the imperial city to report to the Cao family and the eldest prince that the three people who came out of the mountain city were arrested.
So Cao Liang, a martial artist-level warrior of the Cao family, sneaked out of the mountain city and rushed to the imperial city in the starry night.
Let's say that the next day, the city lord Wang Guangming sent a martial artist-level warrior to rush to the county town to report to Lin Yinghao about what happened in Izuyama City.
It was almost noon that day, Zhao Tiejun rushed to the mountain city.
When he came to the gate of the city, he was stunned when he saw the battle at the gate: he saw rows of guards standing at the gate and on the city wall, as if they were facing a great enemy.
What's going on?
How can a small mountain city be so tightly defended? This is very abnormal, is something wrong?
He said very kindly to the guards guarding the city gate that he was from the imperial city and wanted to see the lord of the mountain city.
The guards guarding the city saw that there was a martial king! The guards did not dare to slack off, and while sending people to rush to the city lord's mansion and report to the city lord Wang Guangming, others led Zhao Tiejun to the city lord's mansion very respectfully.
Before he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Wang Guangming, Lin Taiqi and others, and greeted them from afar.
Lin Taiqi looked at Zhao Tiejun and knew that it was Zhao Tiejun who welcomed Li Yuan from the county town to the imperial city.
Everyone saluted, and Lin Taiqi and others welcomed Zhao Tiejun to the city lord's mansion.
When they arrived at the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone sat down, and Lin Taiqi told him about the fact that the Great Prince of the Imperial City and the Cao family sent people out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family last night. Zhao Tiejun was shocked after hearing this: How could such a thing happen? There is no contradiction between the eldest prince and Li Yuan. I haven't heard of any contradiction between the eldest prince and Li Yuan? As the future monarch, Li Yuan has made such a great contribution to the Great Xia State, and it is too late for the great prince to win over and thank him, how can he send someone to destroy the Li family?
Zhao Tiejun thought to himself, there must be something going on in the middle that he didn't know.
Zhao Tiejun asked Lin Taiqi and the others to take him to the prison of the City Lord's Mansion to see the three prisoners.
Everyone came to the prison of the city lord's mansion and saw these three people.
Zhao Tiejun looked at these three people, he knew them all.
Young Marshal Cao hurriedly greeted Zhao Tiejun and threatened Lin Taiqi and the others: "Look at us, we are really from the Cao family in the imperial city! General Zhao Tiejun can testify! In the past, we were good friends with General Zhao, and he and I were both martial arts rank nine. Now congratulations to General Zhao on his promotion to King Wu. ”
Zhao Tiejun asked the three of them why they came out of the mountain city to destroy the Li family, and the three of them told Zhao Tiejun the reason they knew: the eldest prince asked Li Yuan to be his follower, but Li Yuan refused, and the eldest prince was angry, so he ordered the Cao family Cao Shaoben to send them to destroy the Li family.
Zhao Tiejun was speechless for a while after hearing this: As the eldest prince, the future monarch, so narrow-minded and short-sighted, how can he be a good king of a country in the future?
