Chapter 55: Raiding the House
"Father!"
"Help me!"
He stared in amazement at the mirror condensed by purple light in mid-air, and his daughter's heart-rending cry for help was faintly heard inside.
Yongdinghou stretched out his hand towards the mirror, and just wanted to stand up, only to see Li Qianyin's hand raised, and the mirror disappeared into the void in an instant.
The sound of soldiers outside the hall gradually calmed down, and several Liaodan soldiers captured the leading soldiers of the Central Plains and surrounded them.
"Your daughter, I remember it's called ...... Zhao Ranxi? Right? β
Li Qianyin's fingertips stopped at the butterflies that had been purple.
"Miss Zhao is both talented and beautiful, and her heart is extremely high, presumably it must be that Master Hou raised the girl very well at home, so she gave birth to such an arrogant temperament."
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do to Ran Ran?! β
Looking at the increasingly amplified smile on Li Qianyin's face, the man shuddered, and rushed forward with both hands clenched into fists.
Two silver needles were nailed to his legs, and Yongdinghou, who had always been unexpected, weakened his knees and knelt in front of Li Qianyin's feet.
Li Qianyin hooked her toes, lifted the corner of the opponent's forehead that was bleeding faintly on the ground, and kicked it away in the opposite direction.
Looking at this man who was about the same age as his father, lying on the ground and struggling to stand up, but was repeatedly pressed down by the Liaodan soldiers behind him, Li Qianyin snorted lightly and said in a lazy tone:
"Presumably the Hou Ye doesn't know it, just a few days ago, when the Hou Ye was showing off his martial arts in Linhuang, the emperor issued an order, dozens of people in the Yongding Hou Mansion, the direct men in the mansion were beheaded, and the rest were all exiled, the men were used as official slaves, and the female dependents were sold to the flower buildingββ"
"I don't know if this concubine of the Hou Mansion, who used to insult me, can stand a pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, and a little red lips for ten thousand people. Well? β
The mournful cry of his daughter continued to echo in his ears, thinking of the huge house of people who died and sold for sale, Yongdinghou almost collapsed!
"Impossible...... No way! He roared like crazy, "Your Majesty said that if you help him kill the first emperor, kill General Zhaonan, and then secretly kill the crown prince, he will definitely be able to protect me with power, glory and wealth...... Why ......"
"Master Hou wants to know? Oh, I almost forgot, I can't call you Hou Ye anymore. β
Li Qianyin walked over to Elder Lonely's already cold corpse, opened her slender five fingers, and clasped the old man's dead face.
"But it's a long story, what does Master Hou think I am doing in the north in a good manner?"
Yongding Hou watched the girl, his pale fingertips scratching at the blood stains on the dead man's skin, and his expression was calm and terrifying.
"Isn't it that you and King Yi should cooperate with each other, want to protect Pingzhou, and by the way, find me to avenge the murder of my father?"
"Master Hou is too worried."
The corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc, one hand brushed away the broken hair blocking her eyes, and her tone was a little brisk, but what she said next was extremely terrifying and weird:
"What's there to ask for the life of Master Hou alone, hehe...... If Elder Lonely Xuan was still alive, he would know that my favorite thing in my life was to slaughter people. β
He was chilled from head to toe as if he had fallen into an ice cave, but his mind was still a little clear.
The man tried his best to stabilize his voice and no longer tremble, and spoke in a steady voice:
"What a big breath, Luoyang, the eastern capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow a ruined orphan girl to have the final say?!"
"That's right, naturally His Majesty has the final say."
Li Qianyin concentrated on Qi, only to feel that the continuous internal force from her fingertips was pouring into her body from outside her body.
It's so dangerous, if it takes a while, I'm afraid that the internal force of the exercises in this lonely Xuan's body will dissipate.
"On the way from Luoyang to Pingzhou, Cangzhou Henghai Judge Lu Yan, can you know Master Hou?"
Hearing this name, Yongdinghou's heart trembled, but he didn't squeak.
After Li Chen entered the camp that day, he quietly sent someone to Cangzhou, and it is said that Lu Yan died a tragic death, and there was no flesh and blood on his body, only a human skin hanging on the skeleton.
He couldn't help but look at the movements in the girl's hands, and the corpse that had been emaciated by the naked eye, and had an epiphany.
Li Qianyin caught a glimpse of the man's retreat due to extreme fear, sneered, and continued:
"The two of you secretly colluded to privately establish a "slaughtering business", encroaching on the people, using human flesh as military rations, and then selling the original grain and grass at a high price and putting it into your own pockets."
"This matter was handed over by a piece of paper, and it made a lot of noise in the court, and the people of the world all wanted to cramp and rip your bones - even if the emperor wanted to protect you, there was nothing to do."
No wonder...... No wonder Li Chenjin suddenly went to Cangzhou, and then went to the north to keep an eye on him......
It turned out that everything had been foreshadowed!
However, this business has been done for a year, and many local officials have heard about it but dare not speak out......
He suddenly looked up at Li Hebiao, who was sitting on the low desk opposite, and the long knife was sheathed to the ground, and he slowly took a sip of the wine cup.
"Could it be you? King Yi? I didn't expect you to be in the north, but your arms are so long - even with the identity of a dead man, you can turn the clouds and rain in the middle of the court? β
Hearing his name called, Li Hebiao raised his head with an "ah".
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and shook his head, "Master Hou guessed wrong this time, I didn't expect this, it's all Qianyin's ability alone." β
"How is that possible...... You're a helpless orphan girl......"
Li Qianyin straightened up, a black-purple mist lingering in her hands.
She shook off the deflated corpse, untied a light blue handkerchief from her weak-looking wrist, and carefully wiped the dirt from her fingertips.
The righteous path exercises are pure, and they are far smoother to inhale than the turbidity of Lu Yan's body.
"There are still many things that Master Hou doesn't know."
She raised her eyes to meet the man's eyes, and her original brown and brown eyes were pitch black and bottomless.
Of course, Li Qianyin would not tell him that the day before leaving Luoyang, she asked Ming Ji, the young general, to check on her father's affairs for her.
At the peach blossom banquet, listening to Li Chenjin's meaning, she vaguely guessed that General Zhaonan was killed by the Son of Heaven and the Marquis of Yongding, but it was not him who died in the fire, and the real cause of death is unknown.
However, Li Yunyao held the coffin for a ceremony that day, and how could the corpse that even Li Heyang couldn't find was found by a princess who hadn't even been out of the palace gate a few times?
She felt strange, but she never found out the true cause of her father's death.
However, just when she was at a loss, Ming Ji found out about the shady affair between Yongding Hou and Lu Yan.
As soon as this incident came out, people and gods were angry, even if Ming Ji did not intend to promote it, they could not escape the crime of raiding their home.
In addition, the two capable female envoys sent by the Gu Mansion, Bai Zhi and Zhu Ling, fanned the flames in the city and spread them, and overnight, the Yongding Marquis Mansion became the target of public criticism.
Li Qianyin stretched out her finger again and tapped it lightly.
The void rippled like ripples on the surface of the water, and the purple mirror grew larger.
Zhao Ranxi, the daughter of the Marquis of Yongding, was gagged and tied to a dark room, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mouth screamed "whining".
Her father, the half-hundred-year-old general, dragged his limp legs and struggled to crawl towards Li Qianyin.
"Slut, you are the same as your father and your mother! Damn it! β
