"No, I'm not leaving!" Li Dingguo said categorically.

"Dingguo?" Liu Wenxiu suddenly became anxious, "Killing people pays for life, and you have to think clearly about the consequences of staying." ”

Li Dingguo resolutely said: "I know the consequences, but it's just a death." But the eldest husband does things alone, and if I escape, you will not be able to escape the crime of cover-up. ”

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly said: "At most, we will be hit by a few military sticks......

Li Dingguo shook his head: "This is just one of them, I don't want to be sorry for Your Majesty!" ”

"When we were in northern Shaanxi, we saw that our family was going to starve to death, and we all became bandits, but it was Your Majesty who came to northern Shaanxi and brought us disaster relief food, and it was Your Majesty who killed those inferior gentry and corrupt officials who bullied us, and divided the land for our family, so that our parents and family members lived a good life.

When I signed up for the martial arts boys' camp, I vowed to be loyal to Your Majesty for the rest of my life and fight bravely for Your Majesty! If I run away like this now, how can I be worthy of Your Majesty's kindness? ”

"Ugh." Liu Wenxiu shook his head anxiously, but he also knew that he could no longer persuade him.

After having been friends for so long, he knew that whatever Li Dingguo had decided, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

"Murderer, Li Dingguo of the Martial Arts Boys' Battalion is also!"

In order to avoid causing trouble to Cheng Laoer's family, Li Dingguo stood on the street and shouted. Then, under the shocked eyes of the onlookers, he walked in the direction of martial arts.

In martial arts, the person in charge of the boy camp is Xu Yunzhen, the prince of Dingguo. Among the sons and daughters of the nobles who were trained at the beginning, only a few Zhang Shize remained in the Praetorian Guard to lead the troops, and most of the other sons and nobles were placed in the Beijing camp and stayed in Beijing. Most of these people are not able to endure hardship, and their abilities are not very good. But after being trained by the Praetorian Guard, it's still good to be an instructor.

When the martial arts school in Beijing was first established, there was a shortage of people, so Zhu Youzhen summoned Xu Yunzhen and others back, and let them serve as instructors in the martial arts school to be responsible for training new students, and Xu Yunzhen was in charge of the children's camp.

Hearing that a boy student had killed someone and returned to school to turn himself in, Xu Yunzhen was shocked, and hurriedly ordered Li Dingguo and others to be brought in to interrogate the incident in detail.

"So, you killed someone because of the injustice of the road? Kill the people of the Xiangcheng uncle's family? Xu Yunzhen touched the stubble on her chin and said in surprise.

The Li Dingguo in front of him was just a teenager, he hadn't grown up, and he had the courage to kill someone, which surprised Xu Yunzhen.

"Instructor, Dingguo was also forced to be helpless, the Hao slave of the Jiading Bo family forcibly robbed the fields of the Praetorian Guards, beat the families of the Praetorian Guards, Dingguo couldn't look past it, so he came forward to stop it, who knew that the Hao slave was going to kill Dingguo with a wooden stick, and Dingguo was just forced to fight back." Liu Wenxiu hurriedly said.

Xu Yunzhen shook her head: "Killing is murder, whether it is according to the law of the Ming Dynasty or the military discipline of the Praetorian Guard, it must be punished." Come on, lock up Li Dingguo first. ”

Several pacification soldiers in charge of military discipline came over and took Li Dingguo down, and Li Dingguo did not struggle.

"It's a pity that he's a good man who dares to act." Xu Yunzhen shook her head and said.

Not to mention anything else, just because Li Dingguo killed the family of the national abbot Jiading Bo Zhoukui, this matter is not over. Even if Li Dingguo does not pay for his life, he will be severely punished!

"I'm afraid that the only one who can save Li Dingguo is Your Majesty." Xu Yunzhen said secretly.

But one side is the queen's father, who is the head of the court, and the other side is just an ordinary boy camp student, so it goes without saying how the emperor should choose.

As an instructor from a noble background, although Xu Yunzhen sympathizes with Li Dingguo, she has no intention of thinking of a way for Li Dingguo, in Xu Yunzhen's eyes, although Li Dingguo has some ability, he is just a civilian child from a poor background, Xu Yunzhen does not want to offend Zhou Kui, the national abbot, for him.

However, Xu Yunzhen couldn't stay out of the matter after all, and at noon, a large number of Jiading Bofu Haonu and Shuntian Mansion servants suddenly blocked outside the martial arts gate, and kept asking Wuxue to hand over the murderer.

"What do you do? This is a place of martial arts, can you rebel? Xu Yunzhen came to the door of the martial arts school when she heard the news, and said coldly to the people outside.

"It turned out to be Xu Shizi, Zhou An, the steward of Xiangcheng Bofu, had seen Shiziye." A middle-aged man in a robe came out of the crowd and said to Xu Yunzhen with a smile.

Xu Yunzhen's face softened: "Steward Zhou, how is the old man?" ”

Zhou An shook his head and said: "Guozhang is in a very bad mood, I heard that the domestic servant was beaten and killed, and I didn't even eat at noon in anger, so I asked me to bring someone to lock up the murderer." Xu Shizi, please also ask you to give Jiading Bofu a face and hand over the murderer. ”

Xu Yunzhen shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid this won't work, it's the martial arts students who make mistakes, and naturally according to the military regulations of martial arts, even Jiading Bo has no right to take people." ”

Zhou An smiled and said: "Who said that Jiading Bofu wants to take people, don't you see that the people from Shuntian Mansion are also there?" The location of the crime is under the jurisdiction of the Shuntian Prefecture, and you only need to hand over the prisoners to the Shuntian Prefecture officials. ”

"Zhang Hu and Zhao Long, the fast shift servants of Shuntian Mansion, have seen the prince of the world, and asked the prince to hand over the prisoners to the Shuntian Mansion." Two people in soap clothes walked over and said to Xu Yunzhen with a smile on their faces.

Xu Yunzhen hesitated.

"Can't give it to them!" Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, but it was Liu Wenxiu and the others who arrived.

"Instructor, you can't hand over Li Dingguo to them, they are in the same group as Jiading Bofu." Liu Wenxiu said solemnly to Xu Yunzhen.

"You can't give it to them." More boy students poured out and stood behind Liu Wenxiu, confronting the Hao slaves in Jiading Bofu.

Xu Yunzhen's face changed, and she felt a little tricky, if she handed over Li Dingguo like this, she would definitely lose her prestige in the Martial Arts Academy. But if you don't pay it, you will offend Zhou Kui.

......

"What? A riot at the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy? Zhu Youzhen was teasing his son, and he was stunned when he heard the report.

"Yes, the emperor, just now the letter from the Jinyi Guard's people came, and now the two sides are still facing each other at the gate of the martial arts." Cao Huachun quietly glanced at Empress Zhou, who was teasing the prince, and said respectfully.

"Queen, I went first, and I'll come to see the queen and the emperor another day." Zhu Youzhen said to Queen Zhou.

Empress Zhou smiled slightly: "Your Majesty's state affairs are important. ”

On the way back to the Qianqing Palace, Cao Huachun had already told the story of the matter, such an important place as martial arts, naturally there were the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei and Dongchang everywhere, and the people from Jiading Bofu had just arrived at the gate of Wuxue, and the Jinyiwei spy had already returned to the city to report the news. Because it involved the national master and martial arts, no one dared to delay and quickly reported to the palace.

Hearing what had happened, Zhu You's whole body trembled.

"Daring, lawlessness! Spread my will, and ordered Xu Xianchun to immediately lead Jinyiwei to martial arts to arrest people! Arrest them all! ”
