"My lord, see your majesty!"
Li Zexuan followed the chamberlain to the inner hall behind Tai Chi Hall and saw Li Er eating and drinking wine on the tables above. Li Zexuan couldn't help but curse, "You can just eat what you want. Why did you call me over?" Am I here to watch you eat
Li Er swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded to Li Zexuan: "Without courtesy, I asked you to come here to show you something. You will definitely be very interested."
After saying that, he asked the chamberlain beside him to deliver a note to Li Zexuan. Li Zexuan took it with both hands and opened it curiously. He saw densely packed small characters on it, without even punctuation marks for broken sentences. Li Zexuan forced himself to endure the discomfort and read it word by word.
After reading it for less than half, Li Zexuan realized that what was written on it was actually the investigation report on the kidnapping of Han Yuxi yesterday.
Li Er was right. Li Zexuan was really interested in this thing. What happened yesterday was not over yet. There was still a mastermind behind the bandits who had not been caught.
He mustered up his energy and read the entire memorial. Then he returned the memorial to the chamberlain, but he was extremely shocked. Yun Xilou hired bandits to kidnap Han Yuxi in order to get the new wine formula. Li Zexuan expected this, but it was just for profit. What really made him unexpected was that this The owner of Yunxi Tower turned out to be Wang Renyi from the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Although this booklet didn't say anything about the relationship between Wang Renyi and Wang Renbiao, Li Zexuan himself could guess that the last time Wang Renbiao came to seek cooperation, he said that the reason why he came to do business was because of his family. A trial for my disciples.
Then the relationship between Wang Renyi and Wang Renbiao is obvious. Even if they are not brothers, they are probably close family relatives.
Li Zexuan's face was filled with uncertainty. He had a good impression of Wang Renbiao before, so he cooperated with him. But in this matter, he didn't know what role Wang Renbiao played.
"Have you finished reading? Is there anything you want to say?"
Li Er wiped his mouth and asked casually while watching Li Zexuan's expression change.
Li Zexuan bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, I would like to know how Your Majesty plans to deal with this bandit and the people behind the scenes?"
Li Er said calmly: "Han Yuxi is Shu Bao's adopted daughter. These lawless people should be severely punished. The bandits in Xuefeng Village gathered in the forest of Xiaoshan Mountain and committed many illegal things. The leader of the bandits should be beheaded in public, and the remaining accomplices should be exiled. He should be exiled and dismissed. I have ordered Dali Temple to arrest the shopkeeper of Yunxi Tower. As for Wang Renyi, hehe, what do you want me to do with you?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said one word with a cold expression: "Kill!"
If you dare to touch his woman, no matter if you are the King of Heaven or I, you will have to pay the price. Although the Wang family has been a long-established family for thousands of years, if he is offended, the worst he can do is get a few carts of black powder and burn the entire Wang family to the ground. Besides, Wang Renyi is just one person, and he may not be able to represent the entire Wang family.
Li Er raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. The Wang family is a wealthy family. Wang Renyi's biological mother comes from the Cui family in Qinghe. If Wang Renyi is killed because of this, the Wang family and Wouldn’t the Cui family fall out with me? Wouldn’t everyone in the world of nobles be in danger because of this?”
Li Zexuan was unconvinced and said: "Your Majesty, as the king of a country, we have so many powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty. How can you still be afraid of these aristocratic families?"
Li Er glared and said: "How presumptuous! The affairs of the aristocratic family are far from as simple as you think. How much do you know about this? Don't use these words to provoke me. Wang Renyi's biological father, Wang Yu, married my imperial aunt. I will definitely give him some bad treatment. This Wang Renyi cannot be killed. At most, I will let him never appear in Chang'an City. Wang Yu will also come to Chang'an in the near future, and he will talk to you about this matter."
Li Zexuan refused to give up and said: "Your Majesty, is it really impossible to kill?"
Li Er angrily threw a book on the table at Li Zexuan, but Li Zexuan "wittily" dodged it. Li Er said angrily: "Why is your kid more murderous than me? Fortunately, you are from the Taoist lineage." . But having said that, Han Yuxi was not harmed in this incident, and no one else is in a hurry. Why are you so anxious? "
Li Zexuan said: "Your Majesty, Han Yuxi is already my fiancée. Of course I am worried, hehe."
"I see, no wonder you are jumping around like someone stepped on your tail. Okay, let's end this matter! Don't think about killing people in private to vent your anger, unless you don't want to be a baron anymore and want to take it with you Your family will be on the run for the rest of their lives."
Li Eryi made the final decision, bringing this matter to a not-so-perfect end.
Li Zexuan was helpless. He really thought about killing Wang Renyi after he left Chang'an, but he was blocked by Li Er's last slightly threatening words.
"Your Majesty, if Wang Renyi threatens Xiaochen's family again in the future, even if His Majesty does not kill him, Xiaochen will definitely take action. Even if the Wang family and Cui family jointly retaliate afterwards, Xiaochen is willing to shoulder the responsibility. The minister and tens of thousands of people from his family perished together! I definitely have this ability."
Since he cannot be killed this time, he must be vaccinated. If Wang Renyi does not give up and continues to commit suicide, then Li Zexuan will not be polite.
Li Er squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile: "Hey, you are a small talker, but don't worry, after Wang Renyi returns to the Wang family, he will definitely not be able to get ahead again, let alone have the ability to go there again. against you.
Oh, by the way, I watched the interrogation in Dali Temple before and found that the bandit from Xuefeng Village also committed a case two months ago. You were also present at that time, right? It is said that you were also attacked and fell off a cliff? "
Li Er paused for a while and then continued. But his eyes were completely full of gossip and teasing.
Li Zexuan had a dark look on his face. This Li Er was so shameless and exposed his shortcomings.
"Back to Your Majesty, when I came down from the mountain for the first time, I didn't realize the dangers of people's hearts. I was careless and was succeeded by the villain."
Li Er laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that a son of a fairy like you would almost fall into the hands of a group of bandits, haha."
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened to that woman in the end? Was she kidnapped by bandits?"
Li Zexuan's heart moved and he changed the subject.
"That's not true. Later, the officers and soldiers arrived and the bandits fled. The officers and soldiers took advantage of the chaos and captured the second and third bosses of the Blood Wind Village. What? You hero saved a beautiful girl. Could it be that you have fallen in love with the girl?"
Li Er asked with a smile.
Bah, bah, bah, Li Er is really old and shameless.
Li Zexuan quickly shook his head and said: "What did your Majesty say? When you saw an injustice on the road, you drew your sword to help. This kid drew his sword to save others. I haven't even seen that woman from front to back. How can I like her?"
Li Er said in surprise: "Haha, I didn't expect you to have some chivalrous heart. A few days ago, I heard that you gave Shu Bao two bottles of medicinal wine. I saw that Shu Bao's complexion has improved greatly in the past two days. , your boy did a good job in this matter."
Li Zexuan said hurriedly: "Uncle Qin treats the boy like his nephew. This is what the boy should do."
Li Er nodded happily: "Okay, then you can step back!"
Li Zexuan suddenly remembered something, licked his face and asked: "Uh, Your Majesty, I want to ask, does this Imperial Academy doctor need to go to court in the morning?"
Li Er thought this kid was pretty good just now, but when he heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He really wanted to pull him out, chop him up and feed him to the dogs.
Li Er waved his hand impatiently and said, "No, get out of here!"
Doctors of the Imperial College belong to the fifth rank, and only officials above the fifth rank are eligible to attend the morning court every day. Li Zexuan just missed the threshold.
Hearing that he would no longer have to go to court in the future, Li Zexuan didn't mind His Majesty Li Er's harsh tone at all. He saluted Li Er with a smile: "I'll excuse you, little minister!"
Then he backed out in a hurry.
Li Er looked at Li Zexuan's back for a long time. He suddenly shook his head in a funny way and murmured: "This kid, too. Why should I be on the same level as him when I have nothing to do?"
