It is better to cut off one of the enemy's fingers than to injure ten. This time, Li Yi will completely capture Li Cun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, take back the Ministry of Industry, and vent his anger on Lu Mu!
Imprisonment.
There was an air of gloominess in the dark cell, and from time to time, one or two horrifying screams could be heard, which shocked people.
The entire prison was surrounded by black soil, covered with lime, barren of vegetation, and filled with gloomy air, which was terrifying.
There was a "click".
The chain fell to the ground.
Li Yilong walked in with fierce steps, his slightly opened eyes emitted a burning light, and in the corner of the cell, squatted a dark species that we could temporarily call a human.
"Get out of here!" The internal machine supervisor stepped forward and kicked him hard.
The man slowly raised his head. His face was covered with blood, and his pupils were lifeless. He didn't know what he had gone through, and he looked like a walking zombie.
"Isn't this the butler of Li Cun, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry? How did he become such a virtuous person?" Li Yi sneered, his eyes like daggers.
Hearing this, he looked at Li Yi, his dry lips moved, and his hoarse voice said, "Who are you? No matter what, at least let me know whose hands I died in?"
"I am the emperor of the day!" Li Yi revealed his identity.
"What did you say?" His pair of cloudy eyes suddenly changed, and then he shook his head and said: "Joke, impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you be today's emperor? I have seen today's emperor, although it is far away, but The emperor I saw at that time did not have the domineering attitude you possessed to look down on the world."
Li Yi snorted coldly and took out a golden dragon token, "Who dares to pretend in this day and age."
He looked at the token, was stunned for a while, and finally smiled miserably, "No wonder, Master Li Cun and the others did not lose unjustly. Today, we are the best among men. Even those rats like them are our opponents. They deserve to die."
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, you can kill or behead him as you please. I accept it."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows, "You are really brave, but do you think it's worth it?"
"As far as I know, you have been missing for a few days. Why don't you see Li Cun coming out to look for you? Even if a dog is lost at home, I'm afraid I have to go out to look for you, right? Is it possible that you are not as good as a dog from the Li family?"
He trembled in shock and lowered his head, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Don't think you are so important. In Li Cun's eyes, you are worse than a dog!"
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of pain, but he had nothing to say. He was indeed not as good as a dog. He had served the Li family for two generations with all his heart and soul, but in the end he was not even as good as a dog. In his heart Why don't you know, you are just deceiving yourself.
Li Yi shook his head and sighed, "If Li Cun knew that you were arrested by me, what do you think he would think, whether he would try to save you or try to silence you. As for your family..."
"My family..." He shook his head vigorously, and the chains on his body rattled, "No, no, I, Bai Laosan, have served two generations of the Li family conscientiously. Without credit, there is still hard work. ?”
"Besides, when the old man passed away, he told Lord Li Cun to treat me well. How could he kill me? He wouldn't."
Li Yi's thin lips curled slightly, "Are you still deceiving yourself? If Li Cun really cared about you and wouldn't have stopped looking for you for so long, he would have given up on you long ago."
"Li Cun doesn't know that you were captured by me. If he knew, would you still be alive now?"
"I know you don't believe it!"
Li Yi turned around and waved, and Cao Qingyan came over and took out a piece of ancient jade. It was very small, but it was just a good thing.
As soon as he saw Gu Yu, Bai Laosan was immediately confused and his expression became unnatural.
This piece of ancient jade belongs to Bai Laosan's youngest son. It was passed down from three generations of the Bai family. Finally, he gave birth to a child with a handle. Bai Laosan really held it in the palm of his hand. He was afraid of touching it and holding it in his mouth. He was afraid that it would melt and give away all the heirlooms of the Bai family. The younger son.
"I don't need to say more about what this is. To be honest with you, it was found among the refugees outside the city. Since you disappeared, your Bai family's house has been taken back by the Li family, and all your family members have been driven out of the capital."
"You have risked your life to be loyal to such a person even if you die. Don't you feel chilling?"
Bai Laosan's teeth chattered loudly, his whole body shivered like chaff, he bit his mouth tightly and refused to speak.
Li Yi knew that the old boy was shaken, so he continued to gradually defeat his last psychological defense bit by bit. This was his specialty.
"When things have reached this point, you should be able to see your own ending. Even if you insist and refuse to tell me, then I can still kill Li Cun. I just have to pity your youngest son of the Bai family. I'm afraid it will happen in the future. We can only struggle at the bottom, whether we can survive or not is a matter of course."
"Oh, this is what a noble family says. To be honest, I don't even think it's worth it for you."
Sure enough, when his youngest son was mentioned, Bai Laosan became really angry, his eyes turned red, and his grievance and unwillingness were aroused.
I have worked hard and served two generations of the Li family for decades, and yet I ended up like this.
Since you were unjust first, don't blame me for being ruthless!
Li Yi had guessed the change in the other person's mind and smiled faintly, "Bai Laosan, if I told you that I would arrange errands for you, and they were errands for the imperial court, so you no longer have to look at people's faces, what would you do?"
"What?" He raised his head suddenly, his two pairs of pupils full of panic and disbelief, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Li Yi did not answer, but stood up and took a few steps back. Cao Qingyan stepped forward and winked, "Bai Laosan, you are so smart. You were confused for a moment. Don't you understand what His Majesty means? As long as you submit to His Majesty, you From now on, the Bai family will be eating a share of the royal rations, why don’t you thank Your Majesty quickly.”
"Bang!" Li Yi threw the ancient jade to Bai Laosan. He held the ancient jade in both hands and stared at the ancient jade, his heart suddenly rippled.
I have served the Li family all my life, but in the end I ended up like this. It makes me sad to think about it. Li family, it was you who failed me first!
After struggling with his thoughts for a moment, he nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I promise to surrender to you and tell you everything I know. I may not be allowed to see my precious son. Please, your majesty."
Li Yi suddenly changed his face and snorted coldly: "You think I'm negotiating with you, right? I'm giving you the last chance. I might as well tell you that if you don't surrender today, I don't need to take action. I just need to release you." Feng Qu, you betrayed the Li family and surrendered to me, what do you think will happen to you, and what will happen to your family?"
Bai Laosan reacted instantly and immediately fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly, and shouted urgently: "Your Majesty, I say, I say everything!"
"Since these bastards are unkind and unjust, I have nothing to say. I don't ask for favors from your Majesty, I only ask for your Majesty's protection of my family's safety."
Li Yi nodded in agreement.
Cao Qingyan and Qinglong behind him all showed knowing smiles of admiration. Your Majesty is too strong. This old dog is Li Cun's die-hard loyalist. He can't be invaded by oil and salt. As a result, when His Majesty came, he instigated rebellion. .
We couldn't help but admire Li Yi in our hearts!
Li Yi nodded in agreement, and an invisible coercion suddenly fell from his body, and he said in a deep voice: "I am today's emperor, how can I make a mistake? Don't worry, I will never leave you and your family behind as promised from now on. , they will all eat a portion of the royal food, and your little son will get something that others cannot get in their lifetime."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!" Bai Laosan was moved to tears.
Li Yi asked: "Tell me now, is Li Cun secretly colluding with Longmen and taking bribes and perverting the law? And who is Li Cun's boss? Is it Young Master Yan?"
Bai Laosan nodded fiercely at first, and then shook his head, "Your Majesty, Li Cun is indeed corrupt and perverting the law, and he is not clear with the people in Longmen. I also know where he hides his money."
"It's just that the person above Li Cun is not Mr. Yan, but a woman."
Li Yi was surprised, his face changed a few times, and finally he let out a long sigh, "A woman, who is she?"
"I don't know about this either. Li Cun is very careful and has always been wary of me, so I just passed by that woman. As for her appearance, I have never seen her. However, Li Cun respects her very much."
Li Yi squinted his eyes, filled with surprise. Besides Mr. Yan, there was another woman? This was far beyond his expectation.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I will never lie to you. If I tell you a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die!" Bai Laosan swore hastily.
Li Yi knew that the ancients attached great importance to oaths and would never make fun of them easily.
But equally, this also shows that there is another mysterious woman.
Who is it?
With such great energy, could Li Cun be respected by a minister of the Ministry of Industry?
It's really weird.
"Your Majesty, I know where Li Cun has a very precious account book."
