In the bright room, the corners of Liu Ji's mouth twitched slightly, if it wasn't for Li Xuan, I'm afraid his face would have been completely gloomy.

Li Xuan's sentence "How did you make everyone hate you", which immediately reminded Liu Ji of Cheng Zipu and Xu Ying who went out of the room before.

The attitude of the two men towards him says it all.

Cheng Zipu is his son and daughter's family, and Xu Ying, over the years, Liu Ji has always been respected, and a lot of gifts are sent to his home every year.

But at this time, these two people took the lead in running out and stabbing him.

The root of Liu Ji's teeth that he hated early in his heart was itchy.

Li Xuan sat on the stool and looked at Liu Ji calmly.

[Liu Ji, a native of Dongyang, Wuzhou, forty years old, the former hall master of the Wuzhou Dongyang Branch of the Tianyin Sect, the peak of the congenital true race. 】

Li Xuan's gaze was not sharp, and there were not too many personal likes and dislikes expressed, but Cheng Zipu always had a feeling.

Everything in his body was completely seen through by Li Xuan's scrutinizing eyes.

Just then, there was a knock on the door twice, and then a note slipped through the crack in the door.

Yu Ze, who was standing at the door, took it, and after taking a look, he immediately came over and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan just glanced at the note in his left hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he raised his head, looked at Liu Ji, and said playfully: "Do you know, now those people below have gathered in one place, and they are counting the illegal things of your Liu family in Dongyang over the years, and many people seem to have evidence hidden in their homes."

The wall fell and everyone pushed it.

Since his family knows about his own family affairs, Liu Ji has long understood in his heart that today's pass is very difficult.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his face was full of wry smiles, and he earnestly bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and said, "The prince doesn't know, this year, the various families in Dongyang have used the means of loan deeds to encroach on the people's land, and the people are miserable, and the people are complaining...... Although the Liu family is also doing the same thing, my Liu family's profit is the lowest in the entire Dongyang."

"Can this king say that you are inviting people to buy hearts?" Li Xuan's fluttering words, Liu Ji's face changed greatly, and he immediately hurriedly defended: "The villain has no such intention, and I hope the prince will see it."

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, turned sideways, picked up the teacup on the side, and then took a sip lightly, and then said, "There is no basis for what you say!"

"There's evidence." Liu Ji did not hesitate to take out the small brocade bag from his body, took out a pile of paper from it, and handed it directly to Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, this is the loan deed certificate signed by the Han family with the people in the past few months...... Lord Wang, the villain didn't break the rules."

Sometimes, making money is not a problem, but breaking the rules will kill people.

Li Xuan glanced behind him, and Yu Ze on the side immediately stepped forward, took the IOUs, and then began to flip through them one by one.

Liu Ji, who was standing there, changed his face slightly, but then he became indifferent.

At this time, Li Xuan spoke again, so that Liu Ji had to concentrate his attention.

"This king has heard that your family and Liu Gong, a scholar from the north gate of the Zhongshu Sheren, are Lianzong?" Li Xuan leaned over slightly, staring at Liu Ji with a faint gaze. Chinese Net

The North Gate Bachelor is a group of talented young talents that the Empress Wu has gathered since more than ten years ago, and they all have top-level knowledge and strategy.

Among them are Liu Yizhi, Yuan Wanqing, Fan Lubing, and Miao Chuke.

Among them, Liu Yizhi's talent is supreme, even above Yuan Wanqing.

These scholars of the North Gate, with the special permission of the Empress Wu, participated in political affairs and shared the power of the prime minister, just like the cabinet of later generations, with great power and responsibility.

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Liu Ji's face immediately softened, nodded and said, "It was when Xia Guan went to Suzhou last year that he met Xiao Langjun of the bachelor's family, and after some conversation, he continued the family tree."

Li Xuan nodded, looked at Liu Ji calmly, and asked indifferently: "This king also saw Liu Gong when he was in the Yue Shuo Dynasty, if you heard that Liu Gong still has this in Dongyang

relationship, this king must ask Liu Gong to write a letter, come to Dongyang, and ask Captain Tuo Renyong for help!"

"Don't dare, the villain's ability is shallow, and he doesn't dare to do the prince a favor." Liu Ji's face immediately changed slightly.

Li Xuan's voice was suspicious, and he was almost about to rush directly into his face.

Li Xuan put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, walked past Liu Ji, and walked to the window outside.

From here, if you look diagonally to the east, you can see the vegetable market entrance in the distance on the east side very clearly.

Li Xuan looked at the direction of Caishikou and whispered: "Captain, do you know, although Duke Liu was born in Changzhou, his roots are in Pengcheng Liu, Captain, you know what Pengcheng Liu's means, right?"

Liu Ji's face changed slightly, and he said with some sneering: "I know, I am a descendant of Han Gaozu."

"So, your family is also a descendant of the imperial family?" Li Xuan's fluttering words made Liu Ji's face turn white.

Descendants of the imperial family, can anyone wear this title on their heads?

If you don't pay attention to it, you will immediately put a hat on your head that pretends to be the emperor's family, and then you will raid the family and exterminate the clan.

"Don't dare!" Liu Ji immediately bowed his hand, bowed respectfully, and did not dare to say more.

Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji calmly, and said softly: "In the court, there are not a few descendants surnamed Liu, such as the right minister in the early years, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Xiangdao, the prince of Guangping County, and the former Duke of Pengcheng, Liu Dewei and Liu Gong, the secretary of the Criminal Department. Captain, that's Pengcheng County Prince."

Pengcheng County Gong, Pengcheng Liu's family, what is the relationship between this, there is no need for Li Xuan to say.

Then Li Xuan continued: "The captain may not know, this king and the son of the Duke of Pengcheng County, the Duke of Pengcheng County, now have a good relationship with Liu Xianli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, before leaving Luoyang, he also visited Duke Liu, and Duke Liu recommended a few old relatives and friends who served in the southeast to this king, but for some reason, there is no captain among them!"

Liu Ji's face turned pale for a while, and in the face of Li Xuan's questioning, he could only reluctantly say, "Peng Chenggong's family has a high scepter, how can a villain climb it."

Aside from the title of Duke of Pengcheng County, Liu Xianli is just a third-grade Ministry of Works, which is not something that ordinary people can easily look up to.

"Do you mean to say that the people of the Middle School are inferior and have low authority?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Ji with a smile.

"The villain doesn't dare." Liu Ji immediately confessed his mistake.

Zhongshusheren, even if he is not a bachelor of the North Gate, is also a position on the fifth grade, and he has always been by the emperor's side, which is something that a wealthy family in Xiaxian can question.

Li Xuan snorted softly and continued: "In the Liu family tree of the Liu family in Pengcheng, there is no you, and there is no you in the family tree of the Liu family in Nanyang, captain, so which family are you?"

The Pengcheng Liu family is now in charge, naturally it is Liu Shenli, and the Nanyang Liu family, who is now in charge, is Li Xuan's Yue Weng, Lecheng County Gong Liu Renliang.

Pengcheng Liu is a descendant of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Nanyang Liu is a descendant of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

"Villain, villain......" Liu Ji didn't know what to say for a while.

If it was someone else, he would have been crushed to death by the relationship background of the Liu family, such as Gu Tan, the county Cheng, although he was born in the Gu family of Wu County, but as a marginal child, when he met someone like the Liu family who was connected with the bachelor of the North Gate, he had to be afraid of three points.

But Li Xuan is different, he not only has a deep relationship with Pengcheng Liu's and Nanyang's Liu's.

Not to mention, he was born in the Li family of Longxi, a royal family, and he himself was the king of the county.

Liu Ji now regrets coming here to see Li Xuanlai, and his own mentality has been a little broken.

Looking at Liu Ji's appearance, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, it seems that he really has nothing to do with Liu Yi's family, and he is not a chess piece that the Empress Wu put into Wuzhou.

If it weren't for this worry, Li Xuan wouldn't have told her so much.

"Bang bang!" Just then, there was another knock on the door, and a note was inserted.

Yu Ze hurriedly took it, and after taking a look, he sent it to Li Xuan's hand.

Li Xuan glanced at it, then turned his head to look at Liu Ji, his indifferent and deep eyes made Liu Ji's heart jump in his heart.

Liu Ji couldn't remember how many times this was, and whenever a note was sent in from outside, Li Xuan's gaze became even colder.

After several times, Liu Ji was even a little sensitive.

"Here you come!" Li Xuan beckoned to Liu Ji, although Liu Ji was a little afraid of Li Xuan, he didn't dare to refuse Li Xuan's order.

Liu Ji walked to the window, and then followed the direction of Li Xuan's finger and looked east.

Then I saw one prisoner car after another, coming from the east, and then turned from the intersection in front of me to the direction of the vegetable market.

Standing in the prison van were one prisoner after another in handcuffs and shackles, gray and white tattered prison clothes, numb faces, and blood stains on their bodies.

Liu Ji knew that these were the Tianyin cultists who were arrested last night.

Because a stupid woman left a secret roster with her, and was finally served by the government.

The power of the Tianyin Sect in Dongyang County, if you want to subdivide it, can basically be divided into four categories.

One of them is the Tianyin Sect elites who were killed by Li Xuan in the ancient tower and are now arrested, they are all Tianyin Sect elites who have received rigorous training in the mountains.

The second is that the Tianyin Sect either threatened or bribed, and was eventually adopted for their own use, such as people like Li Dingyi and Huang Ziming.

The third is Su Fang, the bustard mother of Lichun Courtyard, which is placed in Dongyang City by the Tianyin Sect and used to contact the forces of all parties.

The fourth is that in Dongyang City, there are many ordinary believers and fanatical believers, which are the foundation of the Tianyin Sect's uprising.

The first three were basically destroyed by Li Xuan, and now Li Xuan is targeting the fourth part of the manpower.

When he entered the city today, when he saw the post posted at the gate of the city, when the yamen was going to behead the Tianyin cultists who were caught last night at the entrance of the vegetable market today, Liu Ji had already regretted it incomparably.

If it weren't for the fact that yesterday it was to prevent being served by the king of Nanchang, their father and son chose to go out of the city, and even dispersed their people to hide, but they couldn't have imagined that this was giving Li Xuan an opportunity to take advantage of.

led to the final scattering of hidden manpower, which was broken by Li Xuan one by one.

After one night, the situation in the entire Dongyang City was completely reversed.

Now, Li Xuan is even more eyeing the last part of the Tianyin Sect's power in Dongyang City, and he wants to use the way of killing people to shock people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji's heart became even heavier.

He couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know if the villain is wrong, according to the laws of the imperial court, the punishment of the offender, Dongyang County must report to the Assassin History Mansion, and then submit it to the Criminal Department for approval, and finally approved by the Dali Temple, after the sage approves it, Dongyang County can be punished after the autumn...... If the prince does this, he will not be afraid of being sued by the imperial history."

Li Xuan smiled faintly, and looked at Liu Ji with deep eyes: "The captain still has a very thorough understanding of the imperial court decrees, but the captain may have forgotten one thing, that is, a case similar to rebellion, in wartime, it is completely simple to follow, and today's Dongyang, since last night, has entered the wartime, captain, do you say that what this king said is right?"

"Therefore the murder of this king is within the limits of the laws of the court."
