After seeing Qin Fan, he was stunned and asked, "You." Why are you here?"

"I'm here to talk to you about something." Qin Fan said vaguely.

"Oh."

Li Yuanyang smiled in a trance, "I don't know if there is something that adults want to discuss with me?"

Qin Fan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Li Yuanhao is?"

"Huh?"

Li Yuanyang was stunned and said in surprise, "Why did Lord Qin suddenly remember to ask Li Yuanhao for the news?"

Qin Fan glanced at Li Yuanyang and snorted coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, tell this official about his Gu *** position."

Feeling the unkindness in Qin Fan's tone, Li Yuanyang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Qin, don't be angry, let me think about it."

"Don't think about it."

Qin Fan said, "Li Yuanhao has surrendered to the royal family, and your Li family will have to perish sooner or later."

"But before that, I want you to introduce me to the royal family."

"This."

Li Yuanyang hesitated.

After all.

He used to be a general of the Tang Kingdom, and he knew very well what imperial power represented.

If he really took Qin Fan to see the royal family, I am afraid that something bad would happen.

Qin Fan squinted his eyes and said, "Li Yuanyang, do you think that this official will not dare to kill you?"

Li Yuanyang trembled with fright, fell to his knees, and begged, "My lord's life, my lord's life."

"You are a minister, how can you kill a weak-crowned son?"

"Moreover, this crime of slandering the captain is enough to punish you for a capital crime."

"Capital offense?"

Qin Fan sneered and said, "So what?"

"This official is the official of the Tang Kingdom, and he has the right to investigate and picket hundreds of officials."

"Now, the official suspects that you are colluding with the royal family and attempting rebellion."

"This official, I am ordered to seal up the Li Mansion and arrest you."

After speaking, he raised his hand and said coldly, "Take it for me."

Suddenly.

More than a dozen black-armored soldiers drew their swords one after another to cut off Li Yuanyang's limbs.

"Ahh

Li Yuanyang howled miserably, and fainted in pain.

"Your Excellency."

The head of the Li family was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "My lord, you have misunderstood, my Li family has no intention of rebelling."

"Huh?"

Qin Fan turned his head to look at the Li family master and asked, "Don't you think that Li Yuanyang's whereabouts today are very strange?"

"This."

The head of the Li family hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the Li family is willing to hand over the Li family's treasure house."

"It's just that the adults must promise me that they can't implicate the rest of the Li family."

Qin Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry. As long as you do what the official says, the official will not hurt any innocent."

Hearing this, the head of the Li family breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Fan nodded and said, "Lead the way."

Soon, the head of the Li family took Qin Fan and came to the outside of the secret room.

"My lord, my father is imprisoned here, please follow the little old man in."

Saying that, he opened the secret door and walked in with Qin Fan.

The Li family's treasure house is full of all kinds of rare medicinal materials, pills, etc.

The head of the Li family pointed to Li Yuanyang in the corner and said respectfully, "My lord, my father is there."

"Hmm." Qin Fan walked over.

When he came to Li Yuanyang, he found that Li Yuanyang had fallen into a coma.

"My lord, the little one didn't lie to you, did he?" The head of the Li family said bitterly.

Qin Fan nodded, took out the silver needle, and stabbed it on Li Yuanyang's body.

A breeze blew.

Li Yuanyang slowly opened his eyes.

After seeing Qin Fan standing in front of him, his eyes widened, and he shouted in a lost voice, "Why are you here?"

"This sentence should be Ben

The judge asked you, right?"

Qin Fan smiled contemptuously and said, "Why are you here? How did you become the young master of the Li family?"

When Li Yuanyang heard this, he was completely stunned.

He sat there dumbfounded, muttering, "How is that possible? Only my father and I know about this matter, unless my father betrays the Li family."

"But he didn't."

Li Yuanyang shook his head, not believing it at all.

"Impossible."

"Absolutely impossible."

Li Yuanyang shook his head frantically and shouted hysterically: "It is impossible for my father to betray my Li family, let alone help the royal family."

Qin Fan slapped Li Yuanyang's head off with a slap, and said coldly, "If you dare to question the judgment of this official, don't blame this official for being polite."

"Someone."

Qin Fan shouted, "Put him in the prison of the Criminal Department and keep him under strict guard."

"Yes."

A group of black-armored soldiers stepped forward, set up Li Yuanyang, and dragged him out.

"Your Excellency."

The head of the Li family wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you want to say?"

Qin Fan said indifferently.

"No, no."

The head of the Li family swallowed his saliva and sneered, "Little Lao'er has nothing to do, so he will retreat first."

"Wait."

Qin Fan suddenly said, "Do you have any evidence for Li Yuanyang's collusion with the royal family?"

"Me."

The head of the Li family turned pale, lowered his head, and did not say a word.

Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that he really had no evidence.

"Hmph."

Qin Fan snorted coldly and said, "Master Li, for the sake of you being a first-time offender, this official will give you a chance."

"If you can produce strong evidence, perhaps the official can consider forgiving your mistakes."

"Otherwise." He looked at the Li family master coldly.

The head of the Li family directly collapsed to the ground, and said with a sad face: "My lord Mingjian, the little old man is just an ordinary person, how can he know any evidence?"

"Huh."

The corners of Qin Fan's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Since that's the case, then don't blame the official for being ruthless."

"Someone."

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "Immediately send someone to search the Li family's mansion and confiscate all the valuable items of the Li family, including the grain in the granary."

"Yes."

The black-armored soldiers received the order and quickly dispersed.

Looking at their departing figures, the head of the Li family collapsed to the ground, tears and snot flowing, crying bitterly.

"Your Excellency, you can't do that."

"All that grain is disaster relief food saved during the food shortage, if all of it is taken away, how will the people live?"

"And all my Li family's property has been confiscated, and those slaves will starve to death on the streets."

His voice was hoarse and full of deep sorrow.

"Food shortage?"

Qin Fan frowned and said, "This official remembers that the Li family has provided grain and grass for the royal family for generations, and the annual output is extremely high, why did it become a food shortage?"

"Your Excellency."

"You just came to the Imperial City, but you don't know that in recent years, there have been frequent wars on the border, resulting in famine among the major families, sects, and other forces."

"Because of this, the royal family issued a decree to impose a mandatory grain tax and force the major families and sects to pay."

"Over time, in order to make a living, the major families and sects had no choice but to take risks and loot wealth from the imperial city."

"As for this Young Master Li, he is a private soldier raised by the royal family, who specializes in robbing rich businessmen for the royal family and collecting money."

After listening to the explanation, Qin Fan's anger rose.

The head of the Li family continued to explain, "In the Li family's treasure house, there are more than 6,000 gold coins, all of which are here."
