"Drive, drive, drive!" By the Dongtan Lake, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance.
Li Xuan rode at the front, followed closely by a dozen Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor, running like the wind.
A villa appeared faintly in front of them, and the group immediately accelerated their horses.
In a blink of an eye, he had stopped in front of the villa.
Three visits to the villa.
Li Xuan was riding on the horse, looking at the plaque on it, and sneered: "How dare you name it, Sangu Villa, you are thinking that you are Zhuge Liang, then who is Liu Xuande?"
"Your Majesty!" Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "When I was in Chang'an, I occasionally met the British Duke. The British Duke was gentle and respectful, and would never have such similar thoughts.
Moreover, when the Taiwei was alive, he was highly trusted by His Majesty and the Queen, and the British Duke was even more calm.
The lower official suspected that the British Duke might not know about this Jinhua incident. "
Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji were both very good at speculating.
Not only did they have the emperor's trust, they were also Empress Wu's confidants.
Li Ji is like this, and Li Jingye is no exception.
"It's one thing whether the British people know it or not, but I have to report this matter. At most, I should be more cautious in my words." Li Xuan sighed softly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
Li Jingye was a man of intelligence, good at riding and shooting, and superb in strategy. He won the trust of emperors and empresses. He was appointed governor of a state when he was less than forty years old.
The British Duke Li Ji's military skills and the rest of his life all fell on Li Jingye.
But who could have thought that Li Jingye would rebel in the future, and he would rebel against Wu Zetian.
If Li Xuan takes the initiative to create some conflicts with Li Jingye now, then he may be able to strive to eliminate the dominance of Li Jingye's party in the future.
Moreover, Li Xuan had a vague suspicion that everything here might be a chess piece set by Empress Wu Anbu.
Just like the Liu family in Dongyang.
While Li Xuan was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the villa.
It's Qi Guang.
Qi Guang, who arrived here first, quickly ran out of the villa with a knife in his hand.
The blood on the knife was still flowing down.
"Reporting to the prince, many portraits of the goddess Tianyin were found in the servants' rooms of the Xu family. In addition, when my subordinates were ordered to search the villa, they encountered resistance from the guards of the villa. Six people were killed and six commanders were seized. Bows, two crossbows, and a collar. In addition, a kidnapped woman from a good family was found in the back garden." Qi Guang's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, patted Qi Guang's shoulder, then looked at Wang Bo on one side and asked, "Mr. Zian, how should we deal with such a thing?"
Although his face was not good-looking, Wang Bo still said cautiously: "Reporting to the prince, he is suspected of treason. Although there is not much actual evidence, he kidnapped a good woman, gathered a crowd to resist the government search, hid two crossbows, and a collar, all crimes They will also be punished by being hanged according to the law, and they will be exiled thousands of miles for the third time..."
Before Wang Bo finished speaking, two horses were already galloping over.
Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi and County Magistrate Lu Jin dismounted at the same time: "I have seen the prince!"
Li Xuan nodded and asked casually: "You two, is there any missing woman in Jinhua County who has been reported to the police today?"
Ning Yi and Lu Jin looked at each other. Although they came here for Xu Ge's matter, when they heard Li Xuan's question, they still had to reply quickly: "Reply to the prince, there seemed to be something happened the day before yesterday."
"Oh, that's a bit unfortunate. The person was just found inside." Li Xuan's expression suddenly became sentimental.
The day before yesterday, two days passed.
Ning Yi and Lu Jin's expressions couldn't help but change. Originally, they came here because Li Xuan raided Xu Ge's Sangu Villa on suspicion of treason. But now, regardless of the treason, if a good girl is kidnapped and trafficked, If confirmed, it will immediately be a serious crime of hanging one's head.
"In addition, we need to check carefully whether he only abducted this one woman, or whether there were more women abducted before this time. If so, I should really write to the Queen of Heaven to let him She checks the British government!"
Li Xuan's understatement completely connected Xu Ge and Li Jingye.
"Here!" Ning Yi and Lu Jin bowed at the same time, not knowing what to say or how to plead for mercy.
"Go in." Li Xuan took the lead and walked towards the villa.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Ge who was tied into a ball and his mouth was gagged.
In the open space on the side, weapons, crossbows, and armors were all piled together.
In normal times, no one would care about these things even if they were placed in front of Ning Yi and Lu Jin, but now, with the incident of abducting and trafficking of women just now, it may even be involved in the abduction and trafficking of more women.
These things have now nailed Xu Ge to death.
Seeing Ning Yi and Lu Jin walking in from outside at the same time, Xu Ge immediately started struggling violently.
However, to Xu Ge's surprise, neither Ning Yi nor Lu Jin had any intention of looking at him.
Li Xuan stood in the main courtyard, looking at Wang Bo on one side, and said softly: "Mr. Zian, just report to the central government according to the crimes just now... Wait, add one more, privately filling the lake and occupying the beach land Two thousand acres, hidden fields, according to the law, "
For an instant, everyone looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, and then stared at Xu Ge. Chinese website
Xu Ge also completely collapsed on the ground at this moment.
The truth that he wanted to hide most all this time was completely exposed to everyone.
He secretly filled in the lake and hid two thousand acres of farmland. Is he crazy?
According to the law, if you hide fifty acres of land, you will be sentenced to two years in prison and a hundred canes.
To hide two thousand acres of farmland, the minimum sentence is eighty years in prison and four thousand canes.
Enough to kill him.
Li Xuan suddenly looked at Ning Yi and Lu Jin, and said unceremoniously: "You two, such a bad incident happened under your rule. You two should think carefully about how to report to the court. Explain, how to explain to the saints and the Queen of Heaven.”
"I will die!" Ning Yi and Lu Jin immediately handed over their hands in fear and apologized.
"Let's check. First, check all the properties of the Xu family in Jinhua. Then we will make a general list and send troops to seal them all. As for how to deal with them, we will wait until I report them to Your Majesty and the Queen."
Li Xuan walked to Xu Ge's side, stepped on his shoulder with one foot, and then asked coldly: "I want to ask you, do you have any letters at home with the British minister?"
letter?
When the others heard Li Xuan ask this, their expressions became completely serious.
They don't know what Li Xuan wants to do. Are they so eager to fall out with the British government?
You know, although Li Jingye is not his grandfather Li Ji, he has many disciples who have been favored by his ancestors in the military and in the local area.
Here, whenever someone stumbles Li Xuan, he will immediately be in a lot of trouble.
"Woo..." Xu Ge struggled hard, but his voice was strangled by the cloth strip on his mouth.
At this time, Li Xuan suddenly tapped his forehead and said suddenly: "Oh, look at my memory, I almost forgot that your mouth is blocked. Come, I will help you untie it." .”
Mr. Xu raised his head subconsciously, and in an instant, a sharp sword light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
"Ah!" Xu Ge suddenly screamed, rolling and crawling backwards.
In a blink of an eye, it rushed to the wall and clung to it.
Like a frightened gecko.
Suddenly, Xu Ge's whole body trembled violently, and all reason returned to his mind in an instant.
At this time, Xu Ge suddenly realized that the ropes on his body and the cloth in his mouth had all been cut open by the sword just now.
Raising his head, Xu Ge looked into the villa. At this time, he was shocked to find that all the officials and soldiers in the villa were looking at him in surprise.
"Come here!" The long sword in Li Xuan's hand had been sheathed at some point. He raised his head casually and ordered in a low voice: "Record."
Cheng Yan immediately stepped forward and took out a blue booklet from his belt, as well as a writing brush with a pen cover on it.
The brush was taken out of the pen case, and the nib appeared already dipped in ink.
In a very short time, Cheng Yan was ready to become a secretary.
"After the suspect Xu Ge was arrested, he grabbed the sword and tried to escape. The Qianniu Guards killed him on the order of the Nanchang County King." As Li Xuan spoke, she looked at Xu Ge with a sneer and said softly: "In this way, Jinhua County is good, this king is good, and the British Lord is also good. It’s just a pity that you have to be the scapegoat for all this.”
As she spoke, Li Xuan raised her right hand.
In an instant, all the Qianniu Guards around them drew their crossbows and pointed them directly at Xu Ge...
Under the cold light of the arrow, Xu Ge suddenly slid down against the wall. At the same time, he shouted in a broken voice: "No, don't kill me, don't kill me. I'll do it. I'll just find him. What do you think?" I tell you whatever you know, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”
Under the cruel death threat, Xu Ge's spirit collapsed.
A slight sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and she put down her right hand. The crossbows in the hands of the Qianniu Guards around her also put down at the same time.
With her hand on the hilt of the sword, Li Xuan walked step by step in front of Xu Ge.
Seeing Xu Ge covering his face in pain, the sneer on Li Xuan's face disappeared instantly.
"Tell me, where is the secret communication between you and the British Duke?" Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn.
It was an unexpected surprise to be able to get Li Jingye's handle this time.
Although Li Jingye is quite intelligent and strategic, he is also very ambitious.
How to target him in the future will be carefully considered later, but now we can get the handle of Li Jingye and send it to the palace.
So whether the emperor thought Li Xuan was selfless or he really had some selfish motives, it was definitely a good thing for the emperor that there was a conflict between Li Xuan and the military.
The same is true for Empress Wu.
"There is no secret message at all." Xu Ge looked at Li Xuan with some fear. Seeing Li Xuan's extremely shocked expression for a moment, he quickly added: "Actually... in fact, there is no secret message between him and the British father-in-law. There is no connection. Although my surname is Xu and I was born in Caozhou, I am not related to the British Duke. I am pretending to be so."
"Fake?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Behind him, Ning Yi and Lu Jin relaxed at the same time.
Although they are not afraid of Li Jingye, they do not want to have a grudge against Li Jingye for no reason.
Regardless of whether Xu Ge really has nothing to do with Li Jingye or he wants to bear all the blame alone, Duhe has nothing to do with them.
Now, we just need to see how King Nanchang plans to end this matter.
At this time, I suddenly heard Li Xuan say with some surprise: "You said you have nothing to do with the British public, I, Wang Xin."
Everyone present looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Li Xuan asked with a calm look: "So, how did you get so many fields now? Or, to be more precise, who owns these fields now? Who are you holding it for? How did you get the honorary title of Military General?"
Standing so close, Xu Ge's heartbeat could not be hidden from Li Xuan at all.
Whether what he said was true or false, Li Xuan could tell at a glance.
Therefore, he is really not a member of Li Jingye's tribe.
Although this made Li Xuan a little disappointed, it was just a disappointment.
At this moment, a greater doubt arose in his heart, who was the owner behind this property.
He actually arranged for such a person to come here to disguise himself. What is his purpose?
Xu Ge glanced at Li Xuan fearfully, and then looked at Ning Yi and Xu Jin who had solemn expressions behind them.
Although his face looked a little embarrassed,
But he still changed his mind and said, "It's the Qian family. To be more precise, it's Qian Qilang. These properties now belong to him, and he alone."
