Chapter 13: second floor

Views:

Li Ye was tricked by Li Yao in his previous life, not to mention losing the prince, he also lost his status as the son. When he was kicked out of the palace, Li Yao was surrounded by a group of officials of Prince An's palace. Angrily, he stepped into the gate of the palace, and even taunted him.

Those flattering faces that greeted Li Yao with smiles were all deeply engraved in Li Ye's mind.

Li Ye wanted to get rid of these people, so he had to get rid of them.

One is to use this to establish absolute prestige in the palace, and the other is to eliminate stumbling blocks and completely control the palace.

It's just that he has been suffering from lack of evidence, so it's not easy to act rashly. If he kills people casually, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public, and it will be difficult to explain to Chang'an Mansion.

It just so happened that Li Ye knew that Li Yao would not just sit idly by when he achieved Qi training, so he deduced that Li Yao would definitely take action.

So the plan fell into place.

The reason why he brought the Taoist priests from Taixuanting back to Prince An's Mansion, and did not hand them over to Chang'an Mansion immediately, was to give Li Yao time to react and lure Li Yao to make a move, and he had earlier ordered Shangguan Qingcheng to send her elite Manpower, secretly monitoring the movement of these people, in order to use this to catch these people.

It can be said that Li Ye dug a big hole for Li Yao and the officials of the royal family who took refuge in Li Ye.

Li Yao asked Song Ziwen and others to set fire to Li Ye's arms.

While the banquet was in progress, Shangguan Qingcheng arrested Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, and Qian Zhong's confidantes one by one. It was an action aimed at the target, and naturally there would be no big disturbances. Evidence of arson by three persons was obtained.

Those petty officials, sergeants, and servants had already been severely tortured and interrogated by the soldiers under Shangguan Qingcheng's command. At this moment, they were brought to the yard, and they all fell to their knees, crying and begging for mercy.

"It was all ordered by Song Canjun, and the lowly position is also a last resort. Follow orders, my son, please spare me!"

"Zhao Dutou has two ambitions in his heart. He has repeatedly asked us to betray the palace. If we don't follow our humble positions, we will be beaten to death. There is really no way..."

"Guan Qian took advantage of Li Yao's fellow, all of this was his idea, the little one wanted to expose him a long time ago!"

Listening to these people talking to each other, Song Ziwen, Zhao Xingyuan, Qian Zhong and others were already pale, trembling, and couldn't even stand firmly. How could they not know that a catastrophe was imminent.

Looking at these people coldly, Shangguan Qingcheng said: "What else can I say now?"

Song Ziwen fell to his knees with a thud, sweating profusely, Qian Zhong had already collapsed on the ground, but Zhao Xingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "The winner is the king and the loser, today I fell, there is nothing to say!"

Sitting behind the food table, he looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. I have a military position, and you can't use lynching to kill me. When you hand me over to the government, Li Yao will still mean to save me .

Although the eight hundred armored soldiers are the royal family's own army, they are not private soldiers after all. The power of life and death lies with the imperial court, not the palace.

Seeing Zhao Xingyuan's appearance of "would rather die than surrender", Song Ziwen calmed down a little, and thought to himself: Yes, Li Ye is just the eldest son, and I am an eighth-rank official, and he can't kill me. To be punished, I have to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. I'm afraid of him What to do, as for arson... If I beat him to death and refuse to admit it, what can Li Ye do? After a few days, Mr. Yao will definitely not just sit idly by.

Thinking of this, Song Ziwen's complexion returned to normal.

"Damn it! You still don't know how to repent!" Dutou, who had expressed his loyalty to Li Ye earlier, stepped forward and kicked Zhao Xingyuan in the face, knocking him to the ground.

Zhao Xingyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the other party indifferently, and did not give in.

Seeing his appearance, Li Ye naturally knew what he was thinking.

Shangguan Qingcheng was already furious, wishing he could draw his sword and kill Zhao Xingyuan, so he couldn't help but look at Li Ye.

Li Ye sneered, and only said one word: "Kill."

Shangguan Qingcheng got the permission, immediately his expression brightened, he drew his saber out of its sheath, walked up to Zhao Xingyuan in two steps, raised his saber and slashed at him: "I don't know how to live or die!"

"You dare to kill me?!" Zhao Xingyuan's eyes widened, he roared angrily, his neck was stuck, and he looked like an old man who was not afraid of threats.

With a puff, in Zhao Xingyuan's unbelieving eyes, in the inconceivable eyes of everyone, the horizontal knife fell, a cold light flashed, blood spurted, Zhao Xingyuan's head flew up, blood spurted from the neck in an instant, and the head rolled out a few steps away, There was still a look of "do you dare to kill me" on his face.

The blood on the horizontal knife kept dripping, Shangguan Qingcheng put the knife back into the sheath cleanly, squinted at Zhao Xingyuan's body, and didn't say a word of disdain, as if he had done nothing, he clasped his fist at Li Ye as his return.

This scene left everyone outside the hall speechless in shock.

Everyone did not expect that Li Ye really dared to order the killing, nor did they expect that Shangguan Qingcheng would do it as soon as he said so.

Song Ziwen, who had already recovered a bit of blood, trembled in fright when Zhao Xingyuan's head fell to the ground, and fell limp on the ground again, but this time he couldn't get up again.

Li Ye looked around at the crowd, and said calmly: "I can't rub the sand in my eyes. If you dare to show off your prestige in front of me, I will dare to kill you. You are a traitor, and you still take yourself seriously?"

As he said that, he glanced at Song Ziwen and Qian Zhong: "As a member of my royal family, but colluding with outsiders to murder my son, I thought my son would not dare to kill people. Is it true that I am a bully?" You are not the only ones who want to attack, now I give you a chance to confess to your accomplices, and I will spare you."

Song Ziwen touched Li Ye's eyes, his heart trembled, he quickly knelt down on the ground, and kept kowtowing: "My lord, please forgive me, I was just confused for a while..."

Qian Zhong, who was outside the courtyard, saw that Song Ziwen didn't speak, and didn't dare to say anything, so he knelt down and kept kowtowing.

Li Ye sneered, "You are challenging this prince's patience, unfortunately, this prince has no patience, kill him!"

Shangguan Qingcheng's face darkened, he drew his saber again, stepped in front of Qian Zhong in two steps, and cut him off with a single saber.

A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org

"Hiss!" This time, everyone gasped.

Song Ziwen saw that Qian Zhong's head was in a different place in the blink of an eye, and his crotch was so frightened that his crotch was wet. He didn't dare to play tricks to waste time, so he lay down on the ground tremblingly crying: "Sun Shouli, Wei Dangguo, Xu Zhiyuan... . . . ”

He announced the names of more than a dozen people in one breath.

Li Ye sneered: "There are so many talented people, let's arrest them all!"

Shangguan Qingcheng waved his hand, and the armored soldiers with knives swarmed up, swiftly escorting those people, and there were some people in the middle who tried to resist, but they were all knocked down to the ground.

From time to time, more than a dozen people with status were detained and knelt down in the courtyard.

Li Ye came to the gate, and cast a cold look at these people: "Hit me until you lose consciousness, and then throw you into the firewood room for custody. The prince will hand you over to Chang'an Mansion tomorrow."

"Decree!"

All the armored soldiers heard the words, without hesitation, fists and feet rained down, and there were screams in the courtyard for a while.

When these people were beaten enough and pushed out, Li Ye returned to the main seat in the hall, looked around at the people in the hall, and said calmly: "Under the rule of this son, no villain will be tolerated, but he will not treat loyal people badly." scholar!"

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, Shangguan Qingcheng ordered the soldiers to bring in a few large boxes.

"Soldiers who follow this son to Taixuanding will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver if they have served as guards in battle. Those who are wounded will be rewarded with an extra fifty taels of silver. Those who died in battle will be given two hundred taels of silver to their families. Those with immediate family members can make up for it Enter the palace as a guard!"

Li Ye waved his hand, "I'm overjoyed that my son has accomplished Qi training. People in the palace and officials will reward you with twenty taels of silver, and servants and maids will reward you with ten taels of silver!"

One should be rewarded, it can be said to be extremely rich, far exceeding the ordinary standard.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, all of them were convinced, and they all bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The way of the master, in short, is only strict rewards and punishments.

"There is no need to be too polite." Li Ye raised his hand, "Although dozens of people have been eliminated today, I know that there are not only people in the palace who have two ambitions. .As long as you are of one heart and one mind with this son in the future, this son will definitely live up to you!"

Everyone was convinced, and they all bowed: "We are loyal sons, and we will never have two ambitions!"

A master who is strict in rewards and punishments and is not stingy, a master who is strong and promising, is naturally a master worthy of allegiance.

At this time, everyone's hearts were completely attached, and Li Ye truly controlled Prince An's Mansion in his hands. As long as there were no accidents in the raid, he would always be the master of the Prince's Mansion.

In Li Ye's body, the haze on the dragon's aura was swept away, and the dragon's aura swam around, emitting bursts of golden halos.

In Li Ye's field of vision, streams of white or red airflow representing everyone's natal destiny rose from the top of everyone's heads, gathered towards him from the halls, courtyards, and mansions, and entered through his nostrils. The meridians flow into the sea of Qi.

The sea of qi continued to expand, and after a while, the sea of qi swayed, and there was the faint sound of ice breaking.

Li Ye's expression changed for a while, and a look of joy flashed across his eyes.

Qi training second floor!

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Ye's mouth.

If Li Yao hadn't instructed Song Ziwen and others to set fire to the palace tonight, Li Ye would not have been able to catch Song Ziwen and others' criminal evidence, and would not have been able to investigate them immediately. However, it is impossible to know the detailed list of Song Ziwen's party members.

Without this incident, Li Ye would not be able to use rewards and punishments to get everyone in Prince An's Mansion to return to his heart so quickly, successfully gather everyone's luck, and achieve the second level of Qi training.

Li Yao's behavior, to Li Ye, was like offering a pillow when he was sleepy.

Of course, for Li Ye, this was not enough. What he wanted was to completely bring down Li Yao.

At this time, outside the small courtyard, in the small forest not far away, several white-clothed monks were gathering together, looking at the small courtyard where there was a lot of noise from a distance from the treetops, there are two Qi training first floor, two Qi training second floor.

They are not Li Ye, and they don't have dragon spirit, so they can't see the scene of Li Ye gathering everyone's luck, but they can see other things clearly.

Sent by Li Yao, they took advantage of the chaos to rob the Taoist priests while Song Ziwen and others set fire to them. At this moment, they all looked solemn and full of surprise.

"The pawns arranged by Mr. Yao were all pulled out by Li Ye without fail... How could this guy be so shrewd, and find out Song Ziwen and others after a single investigation? He acted so quickly and effectively, one by one. It's unbelievable to catch one right!" the monk on the second floor of Qi training said in amazement.

"This Li Ye actually said that killing people would kill them. He acted so resolutely. He was really insane. He didn't think about the consequences?" Another second-level Qi training monk gritted his teeth.

"Song Ziwen and others were arrested, what should we do with our plan? Without Song Ziwen and others setting fire to create chaos, do we want us to rush into the palace to snatch people openly?" a monk at the first level of Qi training worried.

"The matter has developed to such a point that it has exceeded our previous expectations. Now it is not something I can decide casually. I have to report to Mr. Yao..." The second-level Qi training monk who spoke first said solemnly, his name is Xue Shaoli, He took out the communication jade slip and quickly informed Li Yao of the matter here.

After Xue Shaoli finished speaking, there was a long silence from the communication jade slip. He waited for a long time, but what he waited for was Li Yao's roar: "Song Ziwen and others have done more than fail, they are nothing! They are stupid, so are you?"

"Then Li Ye is a waste who has just started practicing Qi training. Most of the monks who have a little strength in the palace are drunk now, and there are only a bunch of useless guards left. You two Qi training second floor bring two Qi training On the first floor, it is enough to smash through the palace a few times, why are you still hesitating, cover your face, and let me rob people!"

Xue Shaoli was startled, and felt that what Li Yao said made sense, but he still hesitated: "My lord, we don't know where those Taoist priests are hiding."

"Bastard!" Li Yao became even more angry when he summoned the jade slip, "You won't arrest someone for questioning? Ordinary people don't know, wouldn't they just arrest Li Ye? Who can stop you? When he killed someone Isn't it crazy, catch him, teach him a lesson, and see how crazy he is!"
