Chapter 120: Forced to Return to Beijing (Come on, Wuhan!) Come on, China! )
Chapter 120 was forced back to Beijing (Come on, Wuhan!) Come on, China! )
After Li Wenqi returned home tiredly, he locked himself in the study alone, and it was not until it was almost lunch time that Li Muyang and Li Muqing, brother and sister, saw that they had not come out yet, so they came together with a worried face.
Recently, they had naturally heard of those remarks in the city, and Li Muqing had also gone from the initial resentment of Ning Jun for deceiving him, to the constant worry about him because he was on the battlefield, and then to the current calm acceptance and admiration.
"Father has something on his mind, why is he alone here to hurt his mind?" The siblings naturally knew that their father had been under considerable pressure in recent days.
"Hey, loyal ministers can't tolerate it, the Manchu Dynasty is full of profit, and the people with small belly and chicken intestines are all greedy, and they are also narrow-minded today, and my Eastern Jin Dynasty will be exhausted!" Facing the concerned eyes of the children, Li Wenqi's face was full of helplessness:
"This morning the father has handed in his resignation, and the Holy One has agreed, so you will pack up in the next few days, and when we are done, we will leave this place!"
"Father, did you say that Ning Jun would return to Beijing?" Although she knew that her father was uncomfortable at the moment, she still felt a little reluctant when she heard him say that he was leaving.
"She lied to you, don't you hate her? Do you still want to see her? Father Li looked at his slim daughter with some curiosity.
"Regardless of whether Ning Jun is a man or a woman, I only know that she is the one who pulled me out of despair at the beginning, she is my hero, in my eyes, she is better than all men in this world, even countless times better! So if you can't be a husband and wife in this life, you can still be a sister! Li Muqing is a person who has no scheming, and she can say whatever she thinks in her heart.
"It's hard for you to figure this out on your own, it seems that you have really grown up! Ning Jun should not return to Beijing in this life, since you still want to see her, then let's go to Jizhou first! Li Wenqi was deeply pleased with his daughter's reasoning, and he didn't care about letting his daughter get what she wanted.
"Thank you, Dad!" Li Muqing's eyes were red and she plunged into her father's arms.
Two days later, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Sima Ze once again issued a holy decree for Ning Jun to enter Beijing to be rewarded, but everyone knew the deep meaning behind this holy decree.
Although Sima Ze is no longer obsessed with whether Ning Jun will return to Beijing now, Zhao Jingyun does not want to let her go, so he knows that just relying on Sima Ze's holy decree will not let him return to Beijing obediently.
"Master, it's not good, Mrs. Zhao has taken the officers and soldiers to the periphery of the mansion!" It took a few days for the father and daughter of the Li family to finally pack up and get ready to go on the road, but they didn't want the little maid at the door to run in with a panicked face.
"What? Stay here and prepare, and go out and see for the Father's sake. Li Wenqi had already gained insight into Zhao Jingyuan's character, and when he heard that he was not good, he immediately frowned, comforted his children softly and walked out.
"Lord Zhao, Lord Yan, I don't know what you mean?" Father Li looked at the posture at the door, his eyes deepened, but he still asked politely.
"Lord Li, I think you have also heard the rumors of General Ning's woman today, and now this matter has been full of turmoil in the city, and the world's ladies have spoken out to denounce it, and I also feel helpless about it, I heard that Miss Guifu has a deep friendship with her, and I want to invite you to talk about it today, and I want to look at Haihan where I am disturbed!" Regarding Li Wenqi, Yan Zhengming was still quite polite.
"Lord Yan, haven't you forgotten, how can there be any Lord Li now, what is standing in front of you now is just a common person, when does the government handle a case, when do you have to solicit the intention of a common person?" Although Yan Zhengming is easy to speak, Zhao Jingyuan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so naturally his words are a lot of thorns.
"Indeed, although my Li is a cloth cloth now, some people don't have to use their power to oppress others! Handling? I don't know what the little girl has done? Although Zhao Jingyuan's words made Li Wenqi feel quite uncomfortable, Li Wenqi's momentum did not fall behind at all.
"This ......" Yan Zhengming was already weak because he knew the purpose of Mrs. Zhao, and when he heard Li Wenqi's inquiry at this time, he was even more speechless for a while, and he was at a loss.
"Ning Jun deceived the king in vain, and the daughter had a deep friendship with him, so naturally he couldn't escape the relationship!" Zhao Jingyuan was not afraid of Li Wenqi before, let alone now.
"Oh? Ning Jun bullied the king? How did I hear that Jizhou won a great victory, and the emperor ordered him to be rewarded? Li Wenqi was not frightened, so he naturally would not let him talk about it.
Li Wenqi's eloquence Zhao Jingyuan has seen it a long time ago, and don't look at what they say, but if they want to come up with conclusive evidence, they can't come up with it, and in the end they can only return in vain, but although they left, it is impossible for the Li family father and son and others to leave.
"Miss, there's a secret letter from Rongcheng!" After the war, Xu Mengmeng taught Bai Junning while supervising the reconstruction of Rongcheng, completely ignoring the eyes of the outside world. But although she has been calm, those old people are secretly anxious for her.
Xu Mengmeng, who still trusted Daniel Zhang and the others in terms of character, also guessed the content of this secret letter, and sure enough, after reading it, his heart warmed a lot.
Daniel Zhang and their group of men spoke more directly, that is, no matter what, they would support Ning Jun to the end, and even Ning Jun didn't believe that he also gave her the talisman in his hand.
Daniel Zhang's secret letter was also mixed with a secret letter from Ye Ting, in which he expressed surprise and admiration for her status as a woman and wished her all right.
There are 1560,000 soldiers and horses on the Jizhou side, plus more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Daniel Zhang's hands, and now Xu Mengmeng has nearly half of the troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he can rest assured after he goes in the future.
The day after receiving Rong Cheng's letter, Xu Mengmeng received a reward decree from the capital, and this time she had already guessed Sima Ze's intentions, and still chose to refuse unceremoniously.
"Ryukin, how is Miss?" The door was opened, and a tired Liujin walked out, and Lixing, who had been standing outside the door all night, hurriedly greeted him.
"The fever has subsided, I coughed all night last night, and I didn't go to bed until dawn, do you have something to report?" Seeing that Lixing's face was slightly eager, Liujin pulled him away and asked.
"Well, An Qingyuan sent someone to deliver a letter this morning!" Lixing nodded, a slight hesitation on his face.
"An Qingyuan? What does the letter say? Hearing this unexpected name, Ryujin's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in her heart.
"Well, indeed, something happened in the capital, Li Yushi resigned, and he wanted to leave the capital with his children, but he was detained in the capital by Mrs. Zhao and others on the grounds that Miss Li had a great relationship with Miss Li." Lixing didn't expect such a change.
"So the emperor's so-called reward is actually trying to trick the young lady into going to the capital to ask for the crime, right? It's just that why did this letter come from An Qingyuan? What is his purpose? There were more and more questions in Ryukin's mind.
"No matter what, An Qingyuan is not a good person, and the holy decree just came two days ago, and Sima Ze did not show any threat, so it needs to be verified at this time!" Lixing knew that his young lady hated An Qingyuan very much, so he was a little wary of him.
"Well, you're right, even if the truth is as he said, this matter has to be hidden from Miss!" Ryukin's eyes darkened.
"Hide it from her? Have you forgotten the last time you broke into Zhao's Mansion? Lixing looked at him with some disapproval.
"At this time and that time, this time Miss's body is not as strong as last time!" Seeing that Lixing's face was hesitant, Liujin directly blocked him with a word.
In the Li Mansion in the capital, the three of Li's father sat in the study with bitter faces.
"I'm only afraid that Ning Jun is in danger now! Originally, I still trusted His Majesty's character, but I didn't expect him to be so unscrupulous and planned to use us to coerce Ning Jun! Father Li didn't expect that the Holy Lord would treat him like this today, and he felt unspeakably disappointed and uncomfortable.
"Father, Ning Jun is a smart man, how could he not guess that what was waiting for him in the capital was a Hongmen banquet, do you think he would really take risks for us?" It's not that Li Muyang is sophisticated, but he really doesn't believe that there are such righteous people in the world, after all, they are just ordinary people now.
"She'll definitely come!" No matter what, Li Muqing always had a kind of mysterious trust in Ning Jun.
"Yes, she'll be here! Everyone in the world says that Ning Jun is affectionate, but in fact, she is even more important to the court! From the original military case to the later reversal of the case for Baifu, all the things she has done seem to be out of order, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, they are all working hard for the clarity of the court, how can such a righteous person let us be implicated? I have to say that Jiang is still old and spicy, Li Wenqi immediately saw her thoughts.
"Well, Ning Jun has never been a person who is afraid of danger, we are friends, in the past, she could never abandon her subordinates in Qingzhou City, and she would risk her life for me in the future, besides, she had already done this kind of thing once last time!" Thinking of what happened last time, the only uncertainty in Li Muqing's heart also disappeared.
"Hey, if I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have resigned in the first place!" Father Li's face was full of regret.
Xu Mengmeng, whose troubles were still in the dark of the people of the Li Mansion, naturally had no way of knowing, at this time, she had just recovered from her illness and was using her limited life to do more for the people.
It was Sima Ze's expectation that the holy decree was rejected again, of course, Zhao Taifu and he naturally heard about what they did, but because of his own little selfishness, he turned a blind eye to all this!
"Liujin, the person sent to the capital to inquire about the news has returned, the truth is indeed as An Qingyuan said, Li Wenqi resigned and went into hiding, and Zhao Taifu and Yan Zhengming led the people of the Criminal Department to besiege the Li Mansion!" Lixing pushed the door and entered, and said with a look of urgency.
"What did you say?" Before Liujin could speak, Xu Mengmeng, who was standing at the door, was already surprised, it turned out that she had just seen Lixing in a hurry from a distance, thinking that something big had happened, so she rushed over, but she didn't want to hear the news.
"Miss, don't worry, tomorrow I will personally take someone to the capital to rescue them!" Seeing that his young lady was in a hurry, Liujin hurriedly spoke.
"No need, send a letter to the capital immediately, and in two days I will leave for the capital to receive the holy reward!" Although she knew that Liujin was for her good, she suddenly realized that she still had one of the biggest hidden dangers that she had not solved, so this trip to Beijing was something she had to do.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Liujin and Lixing couldn't persuade her to do anything, so they had to hurry down to prepare.
