Leaving the Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai rushed back to the Gongfu without stopping.

The purpose of entering the palace today is to inquire about Li Zhi's attitude towards Shangguan's father and son, and second, to protect the safety of Shangguan's father and son.

Of course, if Li Zhi's attitude towards Shangguan's father and son is disgusted, or he has murderous intentions, then Li Qinzai will not say anything, only to save the lives of the two children of the Shangguan family.

After all, he didn't have the iron to fight against Li Zhi.

Now that Li Qinzai has got the answer he wants, Li Zhi really wants to save the lives of Shangguan's father and son.

So Li Qinzai suddenly had confidence, and hurried back to the house after leaving the palace.

Back in the house, Li Qinzai immediately called Feng Su and ordered the mobilization of 200 members of the Li family, wearing armor and halberds, to escort Shangguan's father and son out of the city to the south tomorrow.

Li Qinzai's expression was very serious when he gave the order, and he told Feng Su that there would almost certainly be an assassin on the road to assassinate Shangguan's father and son, and no matter who would carry out the assassination, it would be over.

Feng Su clenched his fists in response, turned around and strode out.

Li Qinzai's mood was a little relaxed, and the lives of Shangguan's father and son should be saved, unless the other party dared to mobilize troops to intercept Shangguan's father and son on the road.

If the army was mobilized, the nature of the matter would be different, and under the premise that Li Zhi did not express his position on the annexation of land by the eight wang clans in Jiangnan, no one would do such a stupid thing.

In the eyes of the Eight Great Clans, of course Shangguan and his son deserve to die, especially Shangguan Tingzhi, who dared to name and impeach them on the Golden Palace, this is a great revenge that will never die.

But the attitude of the Son of Heaven is very important, after Shangguan Tingzhi Shangshu participated in the impeachment, the Son of Heaven not only did not adopt his explanation, but exiled their father and son to Qiongzhou when the court, indicating that the Son of Heaven did not want to touch the interests of the eight major families in Jiangnan, and the matter should have been suppressed.

The affairs of the court belong to the affairs of the court, and the affairs of the rivers and lakes belong to the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

I have to admit that although Shangguan Tingzhi's performance was suppressed by the Son of Heaven, it has set off turbulent waves in the court, and many protégés of the Eight Great Clans are officials in the court.

After this incident, the henchmen of the Wang clan must keep a low profile in the court, and it is best to show their faces in front of the Son of Heaven, otherwise they are afraid of evoking the unpleasant memories of the Son of Heaven.

What about the rivers and lakes?

Those who deserve to be killed must be killed.

Shangguan's father and son will not die, and after they arrive in Qiongzhou safely, I don't know how many more tricks they will make to the court, and how many evidences will be cited, and the matter of the annexation of land by the wealthy families in Jiangnan will be completely overturned, and these two people cannot let them live.

The interests of a powerful group are touched, and the consequences are very terrible, the Shangguan family has undoubtedly fallen into a storm, just wait for the father and son to leave Chang'an tomorrow and go to Qiongzhou, there will be infinite killing opportunities waiting for them on the way.

…………

Early the next morning, the door to the prison opened.

Shangguan Yi and Shangguan Tingzhi, father and son, wore dirty prison clothes and walked out of the prison step by step.

Fortunately, because the matter was too deeply involved, the officials of the Criminal Department did not dare to torture the father and son, and the father and son of Shangguan had eaten a little bit in prison except for changing into prison clothes, and basically did not suffer any other torture.

There were many people standing outside the prison of the Criminal Department, and when they saw the father and son coming out, there was a cry immediately, and many people shouted "family master" and "Lang Jun", and wanted to rush up but were stopped by officials.

These people are the women and children of the Shangguan family, the old and weak, Shangguan Tingzhi was dismissed, the father and son were exiled, the sky of the Shangguan family has fallen, today the father and son are leaving Chang'an and going to Qiongzhou, and the women and children in the family are waiting outside the prison of the criminal department to see them off.

Shangguan's father and son did not have any sadness on their faces, but smiled at the relatives not far away.

The four officials followed behind the father and son with expressionless faces, and they were ordered to escort the father and son, for them, of course, this is not a beautiful difference, and it took eight lifetimes to encounter such an errand.

From Chang'an to Qiongzhou, people have to return to the officials, and more than half a year has passed, and they can't get any opportunities to get promoted and make a fortune, and they have to endure the hardships of the road, how can the officials be in a good mood?

Li Qinzai led Shangguan Kun'er and Shangguan Wan'er, and the three of them were also in the crowd of people seeing them off.

The two babies looked at their grandfather and father in prison clothes in the distance, and couldn't help crying.

Shangguan father and son also saw Li Qinzai and the two children, and the father and son's eyes suddenly turned red, and their originally calm mood was disturbed at this moment.

"Grandpa, Dad—" Shangguan Kun'er exclaimed sadly.

wanted to rush to Shangguan Yi, but the two babies were tightly pressed by Li Qinzai's shoulders.

"Don't go over, just say goodbye like this, don't worry, everything is arranged." Li Qinzai said in a low voice.

The two babies stopped struggling and continued to cry.

In the crowd, Shangguan Yi and Li Qinzai's eyes met, and Li Qinzai showed a smile at Shangguan Yi, and then nodded slowly.

The two didn't say a word, but they were as shrewd as Shangguan Yi, and immediately understood what Li Qinzai meant, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded and smiled at him.

From the prison of the Criminal Department to the gate of Chang'an, the four officials escorted all the way, and the crowd followed all the way silently, until they went out of the city gate and traveled ten miles, under the scolding of Shangguan Yi, the women, children, old and weak of the Shangguan family stopped, watching the father and son gradually drift away, and the crying of relatives shook the sky.

After the official start of the exile, the expressions of the father and son did not relax, but became more and more solemn.

When Shangguan Tingzhi looked back uneasily for the first time, Shangguan Yi suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Wu'er, Li Jungong has already made arrangements." ”

Shangguan Tingzhi was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and sighed with a wry smile: "My Shangguan family and the Li family have always had a good relationship, but I didn't expect that Li Jungong would lend a hand......

Shangguan Yi said in a low voice: "Everything in the world has its own fate, you, you still have to thank the old man for sending Kun'er to study under the Duke of Li County on a whim." ”

"This teacher-student relationship is an important reason why Li Jungong is willing to lend a hand, of course, I also want to thank you for giving birth to Wan'er such a lovely and clever daughter, so that Li Jungong loves it and has the heart of two families, otherwise...... Such a catastrophe, Li Jungong is not stupid, how can he act rashly? ”

Shangguan Tingzhi sighed: "In short, to be able to lend a helping hand at this time, the Shangguan family owes Li Jungong too much, and it is the child who is too impulsive and has caused a big disaster for the family......"

Shangguan Yi shook his head: "That's it, everything has been done, why should the old man be harsh on you again, you are middle-aged, but you are still too immature as an official, if you can survive this catastrophe safely, you should learn more." ”

The father and son chatted in a low voice while walking, but they didn't know that on the road behind them, the thick murderous intent had gradually spread.

Since separating from the family, a team of more than ten people has quietly followed Shangguan's father and son.

This team is disguised as a caravan, but the people in the team are all hideous and murderous, and they don't look like serious merchants.

Shangguan father and son left the city gate with their front feet, and the caravan turned into the avenue from a fork in the road outside the city, and followed Shangguan father and son from a distance, and the distance between the two was only three or five miles.
