Chapter 588: When a person dies, it's better to die
With a "squeak", the vermilion gate quickly opened completely in front of Li Xuan.
An old man with a white beard and white hair, wearing a purple official robe and a black three-beam temple, walked out of the gate with a solemn face, and the courtyard behind him was empty for some reason. Look at the book
The old man walked to the middle of the street and bowed to Li Xuan, who was sitting on a horse: "Old Li Chongguang has seen the king of Nanchang and the king of the county."
Li Xuan held the hilt of the sword in his hand, turned sideways, and his gaze crossed over Li Xianzhi's body and fell directly on the entire Li Mansion.
Countless muffled breathing sounds came from the courtyard, the sound of nervous pacing, the low sobs of women, the shouting and scolding of men, the sound of children pressing their hands on the deadbolt and clasping,
Li Xuan lowered his head, looked at Li Xianzhi, and said in a deep voice: "Shi'an Jungong, it stands to reason that you are an elder of the clan, and this king should come to visit according to etiquette, originally this king also planned to do so, but some people don't want this king to live, so this king has to be rough."
"Someone assassinated the prince?" Li Xianzhi, the prince of Shi'an County, raised his head fiercely and looked at Li Xuan with a shocked face.
Who is so crazy to assassinate the king of Nanchang in Yangzhou City?
Is it when Dou Xuande is a dead man, or when the entire Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is a dead man?
Wait, yes...... Is that bastard?
Li Xianzhi's eyes suddenly widened as big as a copper bell, although before Li Xuan came, Li Xianzhi had already guessed that Shanshanfang was surrounded and said that it was not related to his bastard.
Especially when Li Xuan stopped at the door of his house, he lost the last trace of luck in his heart.
All the servants and maids in the family were driven back to the room, and he was the only one who came out to face Li Xuan.
However, he never thought that that bastard would be so crazy that he would dare to assassinate the king of the dynasty.
With a sound of "brush", Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and the Qianniu guards who followed him turned over and dismounted at the same time.
Without waiting for Li Xianzhi to come back to his senses, Li Xuan waved his hand behind him, and the next moment, a group of Qianniuwei had already quickly rushed towards the Shi'an County Mansion.
Looking at Qian Niu Wei, who was standing straight on both sides of the stone road in the center of the house, Li Xuan slowly walked in front of Li Xianzhi.
"The county prince moved from Chang'an to Yangzhou, and he worked hard and lonely, but some people thought that everyone in the world owed him, colluded with traitors, assassinated the king, and conspired to cause chaos...... Princess, you saved him back then, and now what?" Li Xuan looked at Li Xianzhi calmly, his eyes full of oppression.
The look on Li Xianzhi's face was extremely complicated, and he arched his hand a little painfully: "Please also ask the prince's subordinates to show mercy and spare the life of the rebel."
Li Xuan pressed one hand tightly on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his gaze looked from Li Xizhi into the mansion in front of him, his eyes were calm, and his voice was cold: "Jungong, you only have two choices now, one is to act according to the law, and the other is to violate the law.
If one person dies, or a family dies, the county lord, you can choose one."
Li Xianzhi wanted to speak and stopped, but finally sighed and retreated.
His own brother, Li Xiyu, the prince of Ankang County, who inherited the family title, was finally dismissed and exiled to death because he was involved in an incident that should not have been involved.
If it is really as announced by the DPRK and China, at most it will be dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner, so why will he even be expelled from his clan or even exiled to death.
If it weren't for that, why would his own nephew, the eldest grandson of the family, still be just a professor of state studies.
If it weren't for that, why would he keep coming to Yangzhou to watch him, it was nothing more than hoping to see that there was a single seedling in his brother's lineage to pass on, but now, ......
Li Xuan walked towards the courtyard, and in front of the door, only a sigh was left for him: "County Lord, this king has really thought about how to properly handle this matter so that the mansion will not be affected too much, but ...... Some people are too pushy."
Shi Jin, who followed Li Xuan into the Shi'an County Mansion on the side, now finally understands that although Li Xuan locked the suspect in the Shi'an County Mansion from the beginning, he is also a clan, and he always has to save some face.
However, before he could figure out a way, Liang Poria was suddenly attacked.
Even after, demons
Monk Wuyi also assassinated Li Xuan personally, which made Li Xuan have no room to retreat.
"It is decreed that all people should stay in their rooms, and that they should not go out, and that those who act recklessly will be immediately beheaded." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he strode towards the backyard.
By the water pavilion in the backyard, there is a family temple, the family temple is cold, and only a deaf and dumb old servant is watching every day.
Now, the deaf and dumb old servant has been pressed aside.
Li Xuan's gaze fell on a small door in the northeast corner of the family temple.
Cui Ding had already led people into the small door, and the shouts of killing suddenly sounded.
Li Xuan did not immediately enter the Buddhist temple behind the small gate, but stood in front of the family temple of the prince of Shi'an County, put on the three pillars of incense very respectfully, and then turned to leave.
If you want to be a descendant of the same line, you naturally have to burn incense and make a confession.
Li Xuan stood up and walked towards the Buddhist temple.
At the moment when Li Xuan stepped into the Buddhist temple, a clear shout of killing came from all directions.
Swords, guns, swords, halberds, and bursts of fighting sounds came from all corners.
Qianniuwei, who entered here, and the monks here, launched a fierce battle.
This is not a Buddhist temple at all, but a bandit's nest.
Wushengdao is an important stronghold in Yangzhou.
Although the Wusheng Dao and the Tianyin Sect cooperated, it was based on the cooperation between the East Sea King and the Tianyin Sect, which did not mean that everything in the Wusheng Dao had to be subsumed into the Tianyin Sect.
On the contrary, in many cities, there are actually independent branches of lifeless dao.
An ancient sage once said that in this world, there are only two professions that have been passed down from ancient times to the present day.
One is a prostitute and the other is a killer.
The way of lifelessness is the latter.
Under the command of Shi Jin, countless Xinlin soldiers rushed directly into the Buddhist temple from the street in front of the Buddhist temple.
The sound of fighting in the Buddhist temple was completely muffled in a very short period of time.
Li Xuan's gaze fell directly in front of the meditation room on the easternmost side of the backyard of the Buddhist temple, and Zhou Qian had just walked out of it.
Zhou Qian walked quickly in front of Li Xuan, and bowed his hand slightly: "Lord Wang, the person is dead."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, people are dead, it's good to die.
Li Xuan walked quickly to the meditation room, and the Qianniu guards on both sides got out of the way.
There was a middle-aged man dressed in white lying on the floor of the meditation room, whose face was somewhat similar to that of Li Xianzhi, the former prince of Shi'an County.
"Let the subordinates of the Li Mansion come to recognize the people, and at the same time put all the servants and maids in the Yangzhou Prefecture School Professor to prison, and inform the Shi'an County Duke that other people in his mansion, including himself, are not allowed to leave the mansion as soon as they are opened, and as for the rest, he will deal with it himself." Li Xuan glanced sideways at Zhou Qian, and as soon as Zhou Qian gave up his hand, he left immediately.
Li Xuan still let go, but whether he could grasp this opportunity or not, even Li Xizhi himself.
As for Li Huainian's servant, then I'm sorry, Li Xuan still needs other clues.
Li Huainian has been in contact with the King of the East China Sea for many years, his residence, and among his subordinates, is there any clue that Li Xuan can find out who the King of the East China Sea is.
Whether there is it or not, Li Xuan must look for it, and only in this way can Li Xuan give an explanation to the DPRK.
Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would find it, if he didn't find it, he would be in trouble.
"Wu Yan should have come back, otherwise he wouldn't have died." Li Xuan looked at the corpse on the ground, frowned, and turned to look at the courtyard.
The sound of fighting in the entire Buddhist temple was already undetectable, Cui Ding, who was holding two small hammers in his hand, walked quickly from the front yard, and when he saw Li Xuan, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this Shuanglin Temple is full of killers, and there are a few pilgrims who are blocked here, and they are also taken hostage by them, but then they are killed by those killers."
Li Xuan looked at Cui Ding, shook his head slightly, and said, "You didn't do this clean enough."
After speaking, Li Xuan looked sideways at Su Baotong and said softly, "Send an order to go down and thoroughly check the list of all pilgrims and people who come and go in this Buddhist temple, but anyone who is involved in it will be examined
In the background and the court, the results were gathered in the city book and sent to the hands of the Hundred Cavalry Division."
"Subordinates obey orders." Su Baotong bowed in agreement, and then turned away.
Li Xuan glanced at Cui Ding deeply, and said solemnly: "Learn a little, if you don't say some things, it doesn't mean that others can't see it, if someone really wants to trouble you, you just have to find a way, and it's a step late."
"Your Majesty, we really didn't kill people." Cui Ding looked at Li Xuan helplessly.
"Your word, this king's letter, but do those family members believe it?" Li Xuan glanced at Cui Ding angrily, and then said in a cold voice: "This place itself is a place where Wushengdao hides itself, who knows if they have used this place to do business, you must know that they are killers."
"Can you tell who is a pilgrim and who is a customer?" Li Xuan's words made Cui Ding stunned, he really never thought about this problem.
Li Xuan turned around and looked towards the entire backyard.
Now the entire Shanshanfang has been completely blocked by them, but it is basically impossible to completely seal a master like Wuyi, who has the ability to come and go, ordinary people can't stop them.
However, the prompt entry without anger disappeared directly into this Buddhist temple, and did not appear in other places in this Shanshanfang, nor did it appear in other places outside Shanshanfang.
Then it means that although this person has returned here, he has left here through other channels.
A well on the east side of the courtyard suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's sight, and he walked towards the well without thinking about it.
Standing on the edge of the well and looking down from above, it was pitch black inside.
A small pebble fell into the water from above, and almost instantly, it was already heard from the water with a "bang".
Li Xuan's brows jumped instantly, and he looked up at Zhou Qian, who had come back, and said, "This king remembers that all the underground secret passages in Yangzhou City have been sealed before?"
Zhou Qian immediately bowed his hand and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, after the Shendu incident, the central government has issued an order that all the underground secret passages that exist must be completely blocked immediately, and Yangzhou Mansion has done the same."
"In this way, then these underground tunnels, the original map, Yangzhou Mansion and the Hundred Cavalry Division should have a copy, go and get the map immediately, and we will chase people." Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the outside of the Buddhist temple.
After walking a few steps, Li Xuan stopped and said in a deep voice, "Order the catchers and servants of Yangzhou Mansion to go down from here, explore the secret passage, and see if there are any people hiding inside."
"Whoa!" Zhou Qian promised.
Li Xuan chuckled lightly and walked towards the outside of the Buddhist temple again.
Although this kind of underground secret passage had been blocked before, the Tianyin Sect used the principle of darkness under the lamp to reopen and reuse them.
However, it was probably not just the Tianyin Sect that thought of reusing these secret paths.
Wushengdao is a clear example, and in addition to Wushengdao, the Cao Gang, the Gongmen, and the family, who would let go of such a secret line.
Even Li Xuan once thought about using this channel.
Now, through the matter in front of him, he has completely mastered this secret passage in his own hands.
But before that, anyone who knows the existence of this secret passage must first clean it up.
