Chapter 38 The Breaking of Yizhou
Just as Li Fangcheng was about to open his mouth, a sad scream came. Everyone looked for a sound, and the female assassin's face was black, her eyes rolled, and black and red blood flowed from her mouth.
It was Zeng Min who just screamed, and she fell backwards in a trance. Shen Sirong held her quickly. Her eyes were half open and half open. Suddenly, her pupils suddenly contracted. Zeng Min pointed to the assassin's body and shouted, "It's not her, not her..."
"What's not her? My sister still made it clear. Xiao Yuanqi did not ask her, but motioned Shen Sirong to go forward to talk to her. Zeng Min trembled and whispered, "This is not the maid of honor at Chen's place. I remember once I went to Sister Chen's place, and the maid knocked over the tea cup. As a result, I saw that hers had a mole on the right side of her neck, but That's it. This person is not the maid of honor. No..."
After saying that, Zeng Min looked nervously at the maid beside her, and her suspicion was full of suspicion. Shen Sirong was afraid that she would lose her, and he also sent someone to send her back to rest.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Li Fangcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and he arched his hand and asked Xiao Yuanqi.
The assassin committed suicide by taking poison and was searched for nothing. Xiao Yuanqi asked in a cold voice, "Lord Li, this Yizhou under your jurisdiction is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger... My concubine actually recruited assassins, and what puzzled me more was how the assassins could understand the habits of Chen Meiren so much and pretend to be Chen Meiren's maid. How can this reassure me? Aiqing, what do you think?
Li Jingwan held her breath and didn't dare to come out. She quietly looked up at Xiao Yuanqi and suddenly lowered her for fear of being found. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanqi took her hand and gently rubbed it thoughtfully.
"Li Meiren, how should we deal with this matter?"
Li Jingwan wanted to open her mouth, but she couldn't say anything anymore. She suddenly found that her father must be involved anyway.
Xiao Yuanqi allowed her to be silent and did not look at the eyes full of these moist eyes. He pushed her aside with a little strength and turned his eyes to the black gauze hat on Li Fangcheng's head and said, "Lord Li, there is an assassin in this house, but you have not checked it out and almost hurt the life of the concubine. Today is the concubine, so when will it be my turn?"
"The emperor forgives his sins, and Weichen is frightened." Li Fangcheng listened to Xiao Yuanqiming's secret questioning words and confused his emotions with a drumbeat on the tip of his heart.
Shen Sirong did not make a sound, but listened carefully to the movement around him.
"You really should be panicked. Come on, show me a seat for Li Meiren.
Xiao Yuanqi's sudden words made people confused what it meant. Li Jingwan's frightened appearance and Li Fangcheng's unclear look were really ridiculous. Presumably, no one present knows what will happen next except Shen Sirong and Xiao Yuanqi himself.
"Your Majesty, Weichen voluntarily received the punishment." Li Fangcheng was always an old man. He saw a trace of unusualness from Xiao Yuanqi's eyebrows, so he knelt on the ground and lay prostrated. At this time, admitting mistakes is the wisest choice.
Xiao Yuanqi actually laughed when he saw the situation. He clapped his hands, and the servant beside him stood beside Li Jingwan left and right.
"Lord Li is flat, I have never blamed you, but I want to ask Lord Li something. Lord Li, please retreat to one side first.
Li Fangcheng was anxious and worried. He stood aside and looked at Li Jingwan, and his eyes were empty.
Thinking that such torture was enough to make them panic, Xiao Yuanqi clapped his hands again, and two bodyguards pressed a blindfolded man in. The blind man couldn't help staggering under his feet, but there was no scolding from his mouth.
Shen Sirong looked at the white lips. Li Jianchang must have suffered a lot these days...
The bodyguard pressed Li Jianchang to stand in front of Xiao Yuanqi and Shen Sirong, and reached out and pulled away the black cloth in Li Jianchang's eyes.
The light in front of Li Jianchang made him unable to open his eyes. He covered his eyes and did not wrinkle tightly. Li Fangcheng beside him did not dare to speak easily when he saw this man who looked like his son.
"Is that you? Why, do you know who I am? Humph..." Li Jianchang looked at Xiao Yuanqi in casual clothes, only as when Xiao Yuanqi wanted to let him go and looked at him with his head held high, revealing his arrogance.
After saying that, Li Jianchang saw Shen Simong standing beside him, and his eyes were shining. He took a step forward and spit out dirty words: "Little lady, follow me back. I will carry an aunt for you to do it?"
Shen Sirong sneered, and Li Jingwan beside her was so scared that she couldn't speak. Her younger brother was killed. Li Fangcheng opened his mouth to wake up the son who was talking nonsense, but before he opened his mouth, he was touched by the bodyguard beside him. He couldn't move and couldn't speak.
"No, I don't care about it." Shen Sirong said to Li Jianchang's face without any panic.
"What? Not rare? Humph, I don't know how to praise." Li Jianchang loosened his wrist and wanted to move forward. Xiao Yuanqi did not get up. He raised his foot and kicked him to the door.
Li Fangcheng was very anxious, but his bastard son saw him at this time...
"Dad, you are here too. This..." Li Jianchang just remembered to get angry, but he glanced at Li Fangcheng standing beside him. He saw Li Fangcheng's eyes bulging desperately and staring at him. He called out "Dad" and found that Li Fangcheng was firmly suppressed by the two bodyguards around him.
"Shit, why don't you kneel down?"
Before I had time to think about it, a trembling voice was particularly loud in the room.
"sister?" Li Fangcheng looked at Li Jingwan, who was sitting in a chair and couldn't help but ** between her eyebrows.
Li Jingwan looked at her brother so lawless that she was not only unreasonable to the emperor, but also flirted with Shen Sirong. Any action was enough for their Li family to die 10,000 times.
Xiao Yuanqi knocked on the table with a sneer, and Li Fangcheng suddenly rushed to the center of the room. When Li Fangcheng stood firm, he opened his hand and slapped Li Jianchang.
Li Jianchang became arrogant and retreated: "What is this..."
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine, there is no way to teach your son." Li Fangcheng was very sad. At this moment, he could feel the head on his neck shaking and fall down at any time.
"What? Emperor...Your Majesty... Empress?"
Li Fangcheng, who suddenly woke up, subconsciously ran out of the door. The bodyguard at the door slapped him in. Under gravity, Li Jianchang spit blood.
Seeing this red, Li Fangcheng and Li Jingwan were anxious. Their father and daughter looked at each other and knelt down to beg for mercy. Li Jingwan crawled at Xiao Yuanqi's feet, and Lihua pleaded with tears.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yuanqi has come to let them go easily: "Lord Li, I'm not such a mediocre king. Even if you sit down, it will certainly not hurt your life.
"Your Majesty..."
Li Fangcheng, who is middle-aged, suddenly seemed to be 20 years old, and the folds on his forehead became deeper and deeper, revealing a few gullies.
Get up and hold Shen Sirong in his arms. Xiao Yuanqi's eyes were cold and sharp: "Li Fangcheng, in addition to your son, I have another gift for you."
"Come in."
There were bursts of footsteps outside the door, and the people who came were Ye Su and Xu Qing. After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Qing looked much better than when he first saw him. Shen Sirong smiled. Xu Qing held the corners of his mouth, but never smiled.
He held an account book in his hand, and the words on his face were very neat. When Li Fangcheng saw Xu Qing and the things in his arms, he clenched his hands and seemed to have a faint murderous intention in his eyes.
How's it going? Li Fangcheng, are you satisfied with my gift? It seems that you know this child, so you should know what is in his arms.
Li Fangcheng sat down and knelt on the ground. Li Jingwan unconsciously shrank aside when she saw this. She closed her eyes and did not look at Li Fangcheng and Li Jianchang. If she still wanted to keep her beauty position, what she should do now was to "be alone".
"Your Majesty, Madam, this was found from the ruins of the Xu family." After saying that, Ye Su patted Xu Qing on the shoulder, and his eyes were firm and shining.
He handed over the things in his hand to Xiao Yuanqi, and then took a step back to worship Shen Sirong. Despite Shen Sirong's obstruction, Xu Qing abruptly knocked on three heads.
"Thank you."
Shen Sirong pulled him up and wiped his red forehead with a handkerchief: "Will you be my brother in the future?" With that, Shen Sirong looked at Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi turned over the account book in his hand and said, "Yes, Xu Qing will be the adoptive brother of the noble concubine and will be raised by Meng Yuan and his wife for the time being."
The hand hidden in Shen Sirong's hand gradually became warm. No matter who persuaded him, he would never retreat, but wanted to see how Li Fangcheng was dealt with.
......
Placing the account book on the table, Xiao Yuanqi looked at Li Fangcheng and his son who had been tied up. Li Jianchang's stupid and fearful appearance made people tired of him. Looking at Li Fangcheng, he was thinking deeply: "Li Fangcheng, you must have too many people who don't understand. I can remind you that what did Li Jianchang's disappearance in Japan do before? "
Li Fangcheng's eyes lit up and knew that the emperor had already visited Yizhou in private.
"I know my guilt." Li Fangcheng closed his eyes.
"You don't know that Li Jianchang whipped people that day, wanted to rob my noble concubine, and murdered me. How do you think it should be punished? Xiao Yuanqi's words were all death sentences. Li Fangcheng said in a panic, "Your Majesty, I am willing to die. Please forgive this unfilial son..."
Li Fangcheng fainted under a harsh scolding, and only Li Fangcheng's eyes were filled with tears. Xiao Yuanqi was not moved by tears. Xiao Yuanqi threw the account book in front of Li Fangcheng and said, "You might as well take a good look at so many lives in the Xu family, the disaster relief food of the people of Yizhou, and the inexplicable taxes added by the ordinary people. Li Fangcheng, Li Fangcheng, if I give you a way to live, I'm afraid I'm sorry to the world. Last name."
A few words of depression extinguished the last firelight of Li Fangcheng's heart.
