In the main palace of the Valley of Fantasy, a gentle and elegant middle-aged woman sat in the most upright position of the palace. Apparently there was only one person who could sit in that position - Lady Feng, the head of the Feng family.
Tian Linyu held a piece of paper in his hand, knelt down in front of Lady Feng with a plop, and reported with tears in his eyes: "Master, this Li Changqiu is so brave, he actually inserted this note outside my door. He is trying to harm me." Kill me!"
Lady Feng took a sip of tea. She didn't sleep well last night and came out early in the morning. She felt very sleepy and couldn't help but yawned. She asked without energy, "Oh? Bring it up."
Tian Linyu raised the note and the short blade in his sleeve above his head with both hands, waiting for the judgment of the Feng family leader. He believed that the Feng family leader and the elder Chang would be able to clear his name. The content on the note was purely fabricated.
Yesterday, his attitude towards Li Changqiu was indeed a bit naughty. There has always been a relationship of interest between the two, but he has never done the things on the note. Even if the head of the Fangfeng family brought Li Changqiu to confront him, he was not afraid because he had already prepared a speech.
The paper was made of crude material, and only the outer disciples of the Feng family could use it, but the ink was high-quality Hui ink, which ordinary people couldn't afford. Among these outer disciples, only Li Changqiu has this strength, and the evidence is conclusive and he cannot rely on it.
Besides, this dagger was undoubtedly Li Changqiu's personal possession. The word "Autumn" was engraved on the dagger, which made it useless for him to argue.
Lady Feng’s personal guards took those two things and presented them to Lady Feng on a tray. Lady Feng did not pick it up and look at it, but took a cursory look, then waved her hand to her bodyguard to present it to Elder Chang, who was sitting next to him.
The grown-up veteran picked up the note and read carefully what was written on it. He frowned instantly. It clearly read: Brother Xie Tian, help me invite Miss Feng.
Feng Siniang is the youngest female member of the Feng family. People in Fantasy Valley will call her Miss Feng in private. This note clearly states that it was Tian Linyu who facilitated his secret meeting with Feng Siniang.
If this matter is true, then Tian Linyu's crime is very serious. As a disciple of the Valley of Fantasy, he cannot have private contact with the children of the Feng family. This matchmaking thing is even more sinful. Expelling him from the Valley of Fantasy is considered a crime. The lightest punishment.
But what was written on the paper was too straightforward, and the intention to frame Tian Linyu was too obvious. If it was really Li Changqiu who did it, then Li Changqiu would be a complete fool. Growing up, I couldn't figure it out. What was the intention of the person who did this?
Lady Feng didn't say anything. She only waited for the elder to check the two things before she asked, "What do you think of the elder?"
Elder Chang did not hesitate and replied directly; "These two things are enough to convict Li Changqiu, but he does not have the ability and is not that stupid."
Lady Feng nodded. She also agreed with Elder Chang's statement. Although she didn't know much about Li Changqiu, the outer disciples were all inconspicuous idiots and could not do such shocking things.
Tian Linyu was very unhappy when he saw the two people protecting Li Changqiu in their words. In his opinion, Li Changqiu did this. Li Changqiu just wanted to vent his anger, that drunkard couldn't do anything after drinking too much. Today he issued a warning with a dagger in a sinister manner. Tomorrow the dagger might be inserted into his chest. For the sake of his life, he will definitely pursue this matter to the end.
Although Tian Linyu was angry in his heart, he could only endure everything in front of the head of the Feng family, but he was not willing to give in. He wanted to drag Li Changfeng into the water. He hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Even if Li Changqiu didn't do it, these things are all his." Yes, he has nothing to do with it!"
Lady Feng agreed very much with Tian Linyu's words. Now that the matter has come out, Li Changqiu should be invited to ask clearly. If it was really not Li Changqiu, we could figure out whether those things belonged to Li Changqiu, and we could also figure out how they were lost by following his retelling. It would not be difficult to deduce a few suspects.
Elder Chang didn't say anything more, just sat there sipping tea. Seeing that Elder Chang didn't care about this matter anymore, Lady Feng spoke according to her own thoughts: "Go and call Li Changqiu over, don't mention this to him yet." thing."
Lady Feng's personal guard received the order and took people to the front hall to look for Li Changqiu. At this moment, he should be waiting for his shift outside the front hall.
Antechamber, in front of the palace.
Li Changqiu was still hungover and extremely dizzy. Wang Yuanting quietly walked over and handed Li Changqiu a heart-clearing and refreshing pill. He lowered his head and said timidly: "My lord, Wang Xi, I just came to Fantasy Valley yesterday. This is my filial piety to lead the team."
"Ouch! It's a waste of money!" Li Changqiu took the elixir and grinned. Although the Qingxinxingnao elixir is not an expensive elixir, this is the first time someone has honored him. It feels really good. No wonder Tian Linyu always treats him with filial piety. The basket he poked was straightened out.
At this time, Li Changqiu didn't know that the "basket" given to him by the person in front of him was Tian Linyu, who worked for him all day long.
Li Changqiu swallowed the elixir in one gulp, feeling extremely happy, and most of yesterday's resentment was gone. Li Ergou glared at Wang Xi angrily, and said softly to Li Changqiu without giving up: "Master, you really don't want to go back to Liangzhou City. Already?"
Just when Li Changqiu was about to take action, Li Ergou shrank his neck in fright and cried for mercy: "Master, I'm not worth it for you. The person named Tian is not high in cultivation and not popular, so why should he be in the outer sect?" I’m going to crush you!”
Li Changqiu retracted his hand and cursed with a smile: "Er Gouzi, you have been with me for many years. You don't know who I am, Li Changqiu? Am I someone who allows others to bully me? If I get a chance, I must give him a good look!" "
"Li Changqiu! You are so bold and talkative. It seems that you are underestimated!" The person who spoke was Lady Feng's personal guard. He came with four inner disciples and invited Li Changqiu to go to the main hall to discuss matters.
Li Changqiu's heart skipped a beat, but he was not an inexperienced person, so he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Oh, why did Protector Zhang come to our front hall in person? He is so brilliant!"
This Protector Zhang was a popular person around the head of the Feng family. Li Changqiu naturally knew that his enthusiasm was three points higher than when he saw Deacon Tian. The two of them had never interacted with each other. If they suddenly came to look for him in the front hall, something must have happened.
"Be careful, don't dislike it." Li Changqiu didn't dare to be vague and started to get started directly. The few words that Protector Zhang heard just now were enough for him to drink a pot.
Zhang Hufa looked at the brocade box in Li Changqiu's hand and felt that it looked very familiar. Tian Linyu had given him one this morning. I wonder if the things inside were the same?
Li Changqiu saw that Protector Zhang didn't answer, but his eyes never left the brocade box, and he stuffed the brocade box directly into Protector Zhang's arms with understanding.
There is no reason to refuse to accept things that are forced upon me. Protector Zhang has always been very grateful and immediately replied: "I won't do this next time."
"Absolutely." Li Changqiu gave up half of his mental arithmetic. Since accepting his gift was a life-threatening matter, money can make things worse, and even things that were not life-threatening would turn around in his eyes.
Protector Zhang has been following the head of the Feng family for many years, and he still knows the thoughts above. Although Tian Linyu was reasonable about what happened this morning, the Feng family didn't want to let go of this "money tree."
Li Changqiu really has no qualifications in the field of cultivation, but no matter how bad he is, he is still the second son of the richest man in Liangzhou, and he pays the most generous tribute to the Feng family every year.
After all, no one wants to have trouble with Qian. Protector Zhang knows the situation of the Feng family. Lady Feng’s intention in the main hall just now is that she doesn’t want to offend both sides, but this scene still has to happen.
"But then..." Protector Zhang raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and immediately said: "Leader Li still wants to follow me. The head of the family and the elder are still waiting for you in the main hall!"
"Patriarch? Elder Chang?" Li Changqiu's expression turned ugly upon hearing this. He had met Elder Chang once in the past two years, but he had never seen the Patriarch of the Feng family. Could it be that the "stench" yesterday was still punished?
"May I ask Protector Zhang, why are you looking for me?" Li Changqiu was really panicked. He looked at Protector Zhang eagerly, hoping that the person in front of him could give him some hints.
Protector Zhang will naturally not forget the instructions of the family head. He will say what should be said and not say a word of what should not be said. This has always been his rule. But now that he had collected Li Changqiu's things, he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to urge: "You'll know when you get there, let's go!"
Li Changqiu knew what was going on here, and when he saw Protector Zhang accepting the gift but talking about him, his heart, which was already on edge, was completely chilled.
But he had no choice but to step forward and follow Protector Zhang to the main hall. He thought that if he was really allowed to die, he would have to see Mrs. Feng, otherwise he would die in peace.
"Master..." Li Ergou looked at his master's back as if he was dead. His heart dropped, but the friendship between master and servant was still there, and he couldn't sit idly by.
As soon as Li Ergou shouted, the front hall suddenly became lively. Even Tian Linyu's men came over to watch their excitement, smiling brightly.
Li Ergou's heart went completely cold when he saw it. No matter how stupid he was, he could see that what happened today was Tian Linyu's behind-the-scenes manipulation. This time, his master couldn't escape. He was so excited that his eyes turned red.
"Zhang Hufa, please be merciful..." Li Ergou shouted and rushed forward. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else.
The execution disciple standing at the end of the team stopped Li Ergou according to the rules. He usually couldn't stand Tian Linyu's behavior. At the moment, he wanted to help this team of masters and servants, and then whispered to Li Ergou: "Follow me, don't cause trouble."
Li Ergou followed Li Changqiu, and he knew a lot about it. When he saw the executive disciple opening his mouth, he immediately thanked him profusely: "Thank you very much, I understand."
"Brothers, who wants to go with Ergou and me?" It's easy to do things when there are many people. Li Ergou quickly looked at the guards behind him and felt that his young master was usually very good to them. He was probably eighty-nine if not fifteen, but the fact was No one stood up...
