But when they arrived in the inner chamber, they were greeted only by a corpse.

A dead body dangling on the beams of a house.

"Xiao Langjun, the county order Zhou Li has committed suicide by hanging the beam!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Li Siwen also dismounted and rushed in directly.

Looking at Zhou Li's corpse, Li Siwen also ordered someone to put him down.

Glancing at the official clothes placed next to him, Li Siwen also frowned.

"It seems that this Zhou Li also knows that he is sorry for this official robe, and he is sorry for the trust of Datang and the people in him, so he will strip and commit suicide."

"Xiao Langjun, what now?"

Zhou Bin walked to Li Siwen's side, his eyes full of depression.

"What to do? Collect the corpse first and wait for the court to send it down. ”

For a dead man, Li Siwen is really out of temper.

If you had such ambition before, would you still end up like this?

It's really a confused official, a confused official.

"Then bring me all the people in Lindu."

"Whoa!"

Soon, Lin Du and the others were all escorted over.

"Lindu, are you guilty?"

Glancing at Lin Du who was kneeling in front of him, Li Siwen asked them directly.

"Xiao Langjun, what is the crime of us acting according to the order and fighting to the death on the city wall?"

Lin knew what Li Siwen meant, and he also avoided the important and said the matter lightly.

After all, Zhou Li said that he would bear all the responsibility, and he believed that the other party would definitely not betray him.

"Doing what you are told? Can I think that even if Zhou Li asked you to hand over this envoy, you would do it? ”

Li Siwen sneered and replied to him in a low voice.

"How is that possible, Xiao Langjun is His Majesty's special envoy, even if you lend me ten guts, I don't dare to touch a single hair of you."

Lin Du was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to the other party.

"Then you dare to send my Datang people out casually? Is it because they're just plain-headed people? And say that you are not guilty?

The crime of mastermind, accomplice is also unforgivable.

One counts one, and all of them are pulled out and beheaded for public display! ”

Li Siwen also smiled cruelly and directly gave his own order.

"Special Envoy Li, even if you want to kill me, you have to underwrite the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War before you can do it, if you do this now, aren't you afraid of being impeached by the imperial history for abusing your power?"

Hearing that Li Siwen was going to take the knife on himself, Lin Du was stunned.

Originally, he thought that the other party would not make a big move, after all, although he was at fault, he could be regarded as holding the pestle.

Aren't you afraid of being troubled by those Imperial Historians like this?

"You don't have to worry about this, this envoy adheres to the emperor's order, and His Majesty has given me the right to cut first and then play.

If you want to say that I kill an assassin Shi Zhoumu, there may be a problem, but if you cut a small county lieutenant, who dares to say anything! ”

"Pull it down and cut it!"

"Whoa!"

Le Qing glanced at Li Siwen and directly asked the guards left behind to pull the other party out.

Although the dragon gate dart master is powerful, he is not an official family in the end.

With Li Siwen's expedition, forget it, if you really want the other party to cut people in the right way, you can't say anything.

"The rest of these fire chiefs have all been pushed out and cut down, and it is also a great crime to help the abuse!"

"Envoy Lee's life!"

"Special Envoy Li, we are also acting on orders, spare your life!"

Hearing that Li Siwen still didn't give up, Li Bu and several fire chiefs also cried wolf howls and begged each other for mercy.

But Le Qing didn't listen to them, and directly asked them all to be escorted out.

After a while, someone came to report it, and they were all beheaded.

"Okay, Zhou Bin, I'll leave you a hundred cavalry, and you can rest and continue to march in the direction of Chang'an."

After cleaning up Lin Du and the others, Li Siwen also called Zhou Bin over.

"Zhou Bin understands, it's just that I have one more thing to ask Xiao Langjun!"

Zhou Bin crossed his hands and saluted, gritted his teeth and said to the other party.

"You say!"

"I also hope that Xiao Langjun can collect those robed corpses well, and if he can, send them back to Lishan!"

Zhou Bin sighed, this time a hundred people came out with him, and now there are only eighteen people left, including him.

Seventy-two people died in this small pestle city.

He really felt that these people had died unjustly.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to transport those brothers' bodies back!"

"Zhou Bin thanked Xiao Langjun for those brothers!"

Zhou Bin saluted again, then turned to leave.

"Envoy Li, what are we going to do next?"

Le Qing came from outside and glanced at Li Siwen, not knowing what he was going to do next.

"What to do? Settle all the captives and let the soldiers rest! ”

"Envoy Xie Li!"

Hearing that the other party let himself rest, Le Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Li Siwen would send troops to pursue those fleeing bandits, in that case, he would really die.

Li Siwen got up directly and walked towards the inner room.

He's also tired, and if he doesn't sleep anymore, let alone those soldiers, he won't be able to withstand it.

Besides, most of those bandits have been wiped out, and Li Yanran's strategy has been completed.

If you pursue it again, it will be thankless and in vain.

Looking at the bed in front of him, Li Siwen also fell asleep without hesitation at all.

I slept until noon the next day, found Cheng Youyong of Pestle County, and after arranging everything, he also took his own people to Luoyang.

"Li Siwen led people out of Luoyang, or hundreds of cavalry? Immediately inform Liu Hui that they should be on guard and that there must be no problems. ”

Cui Shiqing received the flying pigeon summons, and the whole person became nervous.

Recently, they have suffered a lot of losses, not only in terms of money, but also in the hands of those affiliated forces.

If Liu Hui and the others are taken down by the other party again, they will have no one available in a short period of time.

And now they have surrounded people in the pestle city, if they are attacked by the other party and lose people again, he really doesn't know what the consequences will be.

"Whoa!"

Cui Qun nodded and walked directly outside.

The carrier pigeon flew out, and Cui Shiqing was also nervously waiting for news.

Finally in the afternoon of the next day, Cui Qun rushed in front of Cui Shiqing again.

"Uncle clan, I just received the flying pigeon biography from Pestle City Zhouli!"

"Quick, get it!"

Cui Shiqing snatched the flying pigeon book, and after tearing it open, the whole person collapsed on the chair.

"Uncle Clan, what's wrong?"

Looking at Cui Shiqing's appearance, Cui Qun also frowned.

He didn't know what had happened to make the always light-hearted clan uncle like this.

"Li Siwen led the cavalry to attack Pestle City, Liu Hui and others collapsed, and Zhou Li also committed suicide!"

Cui Shiqing's eyes were a little confused, he had thought that something might happen to the city of Pestle, but he didn't expect such a big loophole.

Not only was his own power completely defeated, but even Zhou Li, a pawn of the Cui family, committed suicide, and the most important thing was that the person he wanted was not taken.

This triple attack really made Cui Shiqing a little unacceptable.

"How is this possible, how can Li Siwen be so fast?"

Hearing this, Cui Qun also took the legend of flying pigeons, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"There are also problems with carrier pigeons, we are already lagging behind.

Now we are slow and slow, and we have been beaten by the other party. ”

Cui Shiqing frowned, things have already happened, there is no need to think about how the other party did this.

Instead, you should think about what to do next.

"Uncle Clan, I don't think we can get entangled over there, we should immediately send people to set up defenses around Chang'an, and we must not let them in!"

Cui Qun thought for a while, and after the pestle city, his encirclement was gone.

If you want to take down the other party outside, it is no longer possible, and now you can only gather all your strength and ambush near Chang'an.

"Well, immediately fly the pigeon and pass the book to Cui Yuqing and others in Chang'an, and ask them to stop people for me no matter what.

No, it's just that the flying pigeon doesn't work, and immediately send someone to Chang'an on a fast horse, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Cui Shiqing sighed, this would be the only way they could do it.

"I'll arrange for someone to come over right away!"

Cui Qun nodded and went straight to the outside.

"Wait!"

"Tell Wang Shiping those old guys, how much ability do you have to give me, if the other party really enters Chang'an, they will weigh the consequences themselves!"

"Whoa!"

Li Yanran has also been a little restless these days, and Hou Qi and the others don't know if they can catch up.

If they fail to support in time and Zhou Bin is killed, then they will immediately understand that it is bait.

At that time, Lin Cheng's side may encounter unexpected dangers, and if they are stopped by the people of the four great families, all of this will be done in vain.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

Di Renjie came to Li Yanran's side, his eyes full of mystery.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yanran was stunned, not knowing what happened to this guy.

"Your Highness, knowing that you like to eat fruits, I bought all the fruits in the world, and some of them were shipped from the south."

Di Renjie clapped his hands, and his own servant sent two flower baskets in.

"Fruit?"

Hearing this, Li Yanran also hurriedly walked over.

Looking at the dazzling array of melons, fruits and vegetables, Li Yanran also glanced at Di Renjie.

"You don't know what lemons and citrus are, so you brought me everything you could buy."

"Your Highness Shengming, Di Renjie really doesn't know lemons and citrus, and after discussing it with Pei Xinqi, he can only make this decision!"

Di Renjie also scratched his head embarrassedly, facing Li Yanran, he really had no secrets at all.

"It's a life trick!"

Li Yanran smiled, directly grabbed a large citrus and put it aside, and then began to gouge in the flower basket again.

Finally, she found a lemon that was similar to the later life.

"These two are citrus and lemon."

"So this sweet seed and citron!"

Di Renjie was also relieved, fortunately he found it, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain it when the time came.

"Is this called Ganzi and Citron?"

Now Li Yanran is also insightful, it turns out that this thing is called this name.

"Then I'll let people prepare."

"Wait."

"Is there anything else going on with Your Highness?"

Di Renjie was stunned, not knowing what else the other party had to order.

"What happened to the Japanese merchants, and they discussed when to go to sea."

"Your Highness, I heard Pei Xinqi say that it will take at least three months to do it, so we still have plenty of time."

Di Renjie thought for a while and directly said Pei Xinqi's guess.

"Three months? Need to prepare for so long? ”
