With a "squeak" sound, the vermilion door quickly opened completely in front of Li Xuan.
An old man with white beard and white hair, wearing a purple official robe and a black three-beam hat, walked out of the gate with a solemn expression. For some reason, the courtyard behind him was empty. Read the book
The old man walked to the middle of the street, bowed to Li Xuan who was sitting on the horse and saluted: "Old Li Chongguang has met the King of Nanchang and the prince Qianqiu."
Li Xuan held the hilt of the sword in her hand, turned sideways, and looked past Li Xizhi, directly landing on the entire Li Mansion.
Countless deep breathing sounds came from the courtyard, nervous pacing, women's low sobbing, men's scoldings, children's hands pressing on the door bolt, and the sound of constantly pulling,
Li Xuan lowered his head, looked at Li Xinzhi, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shi'an, it stands to reason that you are the elder of the clan, and I should come to visit you according to the etiquette. This is what I originally planned, but some people don't want me to As long as the king survives, I will have no choice but to act more roughly."
"Someone assassinated the prince?" Li Xizhi, the Duke of Shi'an County, raised his head fiercely and looked at Li Xuan with horror on his face.
Who was so crazy that he assassinated the prince of Nanchang County in Yangzhou City?
Do you think Dou Xuande is dead, or do you think the entire Yangzhou Governor's Mansion is dead?
Wait, is it...that bastard?
Li Xinzhi's eyes suddenly widened as big as bells, although before Li Xuan came, Li Xinzhi had already guessed that the siege in Shanshanfang had something to do with his bastard.
Especially when Li Xuan stopped in front of his house, he lost the last trace of luck in his heart.
All the servants and maids at home were driven back to their rooms, and he was the only one who came out to face Li Xuan.
However, he never imagined that that bastard was so crazy that he dared to assassinate the current county king.
With a "swipe" sound, Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and the Qianniu Guards following him turned over and dismounted at the same time.
Before Li Xizhi could come to his senses, Li Xuan waved his hand behind him, and the next moment, a group of Qianniu Guards quickly rushed towards the Shi'an County Duke's Mansion.
Looking at the Qianniu Guards standing upright on both sides of the gravel road in the center of the mansion, Li Xuan walked slowly to Li Xizhi.
"The Duke moved from Chang'an to Yangzhou and worked hard, but some people thought that everyone in the world owed him, so they linked up with the traitors, assassinated the king and killed the king, and conspired to cause chaos... Duke, you saved him back then. Now, What?" Li Xuan looked at Li Xizhi calmly, with pressure in her eyes.
The expression on Li Xizhi's face was extremely complicated, and he handed over his hands in pain: "Please be merciful, Your Majesty, and spare the life of that traitor."
Li Xuan pressed one hand tightly on the hilt of the long sword at his waist. He looked from Li Xinzhi to the mansion in front of him. His eyes were calm and his voice was cold: "My lord, you only have two people now." The choice is, one is to act according to the law, the other is to violate the law.
Either a person dies or a family dies, Duke, you choose one. "
Li Xizhi hesitated to speak, but finally sighed and backed away.
His younger brother, Li Xiyu, the legitimate son of Ankang County, who inherited the family title, was eventually dismissed from his post and exiled until his death because he was involved in an incident that he should not have been involved in.
If it were true as announced by the Central Government, the most he could do would be to be dismissed from office and demoted to a civilian. How could he even be expelled from the clan, or even be exiled until death.
If not for this, why would his nephew, the eldest grandson of the family, still be just a professor of state studies until now.
If not, why would I keep coming to Yangzhou to watch him? I just hope to see a single branch of my brother's lineage pass on, but now...
Li Xuan walked towards the courtyard. In front of the door, he only sighed: "My lord, I have really thought about how to handle this matter properly so as not to have too much impact on the palace. But …Some people push people too hard.”
Shi Jin, who followed Li Xuan into the Shi'an County Palace, finally understood that although Li Xuan had locked the suspect in the Shi'an County Palace from the beginning, he still had to save some face as they were from the same clan.
However, before he could think of a solution, Liang Fuling was suddenly attacked.
Even later, the demon
Seng Wu'an also personally assassinated Li Xuan, which gave Li Xuan no room to retreat.
"Send the order, everyone must stay in the room and are not allowed to go out. Anyone who acts rashly will be killed immediately." After Li Xuan finished speaking, she strode towards the backyard.
Next to the waterside pavilion in the backyard is a family temple. The family temple is cold and cold, with only an old deaf-mute servant watching it every day.
Now, the deaf-mute old servant has been pushed aside.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on a small door in the northeast corner of the family temple.
Cui Ding had already led his men into the small door, and shouts of killing immediately rang out.
Li Xuan did not immediately enter the Buddhist temple behind the small door. Instead, she stood in front of the family temple of Duke Shi'an, placed three sticks of incense very respectfully, and then turned and left.
If you want to kill someone's descendants, you will naturally burn incense and report.
Li Xuan stood up and walked towards the Buddhist temple.
The moment Li Xuan entered the Buddhist temple, clear shouts of killing came from all directions.
Swords, guns, swords and halberds, bursts of fighting sounds came from every corner.
The Qianniu Guards who entered here and the monks here started a fierce fight.
This is not a Buddhist temple at all, but a bandit's nest.
Wu Sheng Tao has an important stronghold in Yangzhou.
Although Wusheng Tao and Tianyin Sect cooperate, it is based on the cooperation between Donghai King and Tianyin Sect. It does not mean that everything in Wusheng Tao will be included in Tianyin Sect.
On the contrary, in many cities there are actually independent branches of Wushengdao.
An ancient sage once said that there are only two professions in this world that have been passed down from ancient times to today.
One is a prostitute and the other is a killer.
The path of no life is the latter.
Under the command of Shi Jin, countless Xinlin soldiers rushed directly into the Buddhist temple from the street in front of the Buddhist temple.
The sound of fighting in the Buddhist temple completely subsided in a very short period of time.
Li Xuan's eyes fell directly in front of the Zen room on the easternmost side of the backyard of the Buddhist temple. Zhou Qian had just walked out of it.
Zhou Qian walked quickly to Li Xuan and slightly cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the person is dead."
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to die.
Li Xuan walked quickly to the meditation room, and the Qianniu Guards on both sides got out of the way.
Lying on the floor of the Zen room was a middle-aged man dressed in white. His face was somewhat similar to that of Li Xizhi, the former Duke of Shi'an County.
"Ask the servants of the Li Mansion to come and identify him, and at the same time put all the servants and maids in the Yangzhou Xuexue Professor Academy into prison, and inform the Duke of Shi'an that other people in his manor, including himself, will not be allowed to do so at the beginning. Leave the mansion, and he will handle the rest by himself." Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Qian sideways, and Zhou Qian handed over his hand and left immediately.
Li Xuan still let go, but whether he could seize this opportunity or not was up to Li Xizhi himself.
As for Li Miss's servant, I'm sorry, Li Xuan still needs other clues.
Li Xuan has been associated with the King of East China Sea for many years. In his residence and among his servants, are there any clues that can help Li Xuan find out who the King of East China Sea is?
Regardless of whether it is there or not, Li Xuan must look for it. Only in this way can Li Xuan explain it to the DPRK.
Although he knew that it was unlikely to find it, if he didn't find it, he would be the one who would be in trouble.
"Wu'ai should have come back, otherwise he wouldn't have died." Li Xuan looked at the corpse on the ground, frowned, and turned to look into the courtyard.
The sound of fighting in the entire Buddhist temple could not be detected. Cui Ding, holding two small hammers in his hands, walked quickly from the front yard. When he saw Li Xuan, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this Shuanglin Temple is full of The killers, some of the pilgrims who were blocked here were also taken as hostages by them, but they were later killed by the killers."
Li Xuan looked at Cui Ding, shook his head slightly, and said, "What you did was not clean enough."
After saying that, Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Su Baotong, and said softly: "Send the order to thoroughly check the list of pilgrims and people coming and going in this Buddhist temple. Anyone involved with it will be scrutinized."
The middle background and the imperial office finally gathered the city records and sent them to Baiqisi. "
"I obey your orders." Su Baotong bowed in agreement, then turned around and left.
Li Xuan took a deep look at Cui Ding and said solemnly: "Learn something. Just because you don't say something doesn't mean others can't see it. If someone really wants to cause trouble for you, just think of a way." It’s a step too late.”
"Your Majesty, we really didn't kill people." Cui Ding looked at Li Xuan helplessly.
"I believe what you said, but do the family members believe it?" Li Xuan glanced at Cui Ding angrily, and then said in a cold voice: "This place itself is a place where Wu Sheng Dao hides himself. Who can You know if they use this place for business, they are killers."
"Can you tell who is a pilgrim and who is a customer?" Cui Ding was stunned by Li Xuan's words. He had indeed never thought about this problem.
Li Xuan turned around and looked at the entire backyard.
Now the entire Shanshanfang has been completely blocked by them, but it is basically impossible to completely block a master like Wu Ai. With their ability to move up and down, ordinary people cannot stop them.
However, the prompt entry of No Anger disappeared directly in this Buddhist temple and did not appear in other places in Shanshanfang, nor in other places outside Shanshanfang.
Then it means that although this person returned here, he left here through other channels.
A well on the east side of the courtyard suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's sight, and he walked towards the well without thinking.
Standing by the well and looking down from above, it was pitch black inside.
A small pebble fell into the water from above. In almost a moment, a "crash" sound was heard from the water.
Li Xuan's brows jumped instantly. She looked up at Zhou Qian who had returned and said, "Do you remember that all the underground secret passages in Yangzhou City were sealed before?"
Zhou Qian immediately raised his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, after the incident in Shendu, the central government issued an order to all places to immediately and completely seal all existing underground secret passages. Yangzhou Mansion also did the same."
"So, Yangzhou Prefecture and Baiqisi should have a copy of the original map of these underground passages. Go get the map immediately, and let's go chase them." Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the outside of the Buddhist temple.
After walking only a few steps, Li Xuan stopped and said in a deep voice: "Instruct the Yangzhou Prefecture's policemen and officers to go down from here and explore the secret passage to see if anyone is hiding in it."
"Here!" Zhou Qian agreed.
Li Xuan chuckled and walked towards the outside of the Buddhist temple again.
Although these underground secret passages were blocked before, the Tianyin Sect used the principle of darkness under the lamp to reopen and reuse them.
However, I am afraid it is not just the Tianyin Sect family that thinks of reusing these secret passages.
The Wu Sheng Dao is an obvious example, and besides the Wu Sheng Dao, who among the Caobang, Gongmen, and aristocratic families would let go of such a secret line.
Even Li Xuan once thought of using this passage.
Now, through the incident in front of him, he has completely controlled this secret passage in his own hands.
But before that, anyone who knows about the existence of this secret passage must clean it up first.
