Chapter 41 Hua Ming (6)

The children of the royal family in the village were quickly surrounded and killed by the attackers. With Wu You and Li Jing'an's entourage, these monks with low Qi training could not even escape.

Because the attack tonight was mainly aimed at Li Ye, other clans did not have much trouble. Even Li Ji, who was already injured, survived by chance, but his injuries worsened a lot.

After experiencing two wars in one day, the royal family members who gathered together again lost their previous spoilingness and honestly sat together in a slightly spacious farmhouse courtyard, not daring to separate.

After listening to Wu You introduce the true identity of the attacker and the sinister plot of Duke Xing Li Guanshu, the children of the royal family were indignant and shouted that they would tear Li Guanshu apart.

They were originally the pride of heaven, but this time they were used by Li Guanshu as a fool, but they were really deceived by him, and it was inevitable that they would become angry and embarrassed.

Li Ji was most angry because he suffered the most losses in the attack and even his entourage died. He kept scolding Li Guanshu angrily, wishing he could eat his flesh and sleep with his skin.

After scolding Li Guanshu for being so bloody, everyone thanked Li Ye one after another.

If Li Ye hadn't noticed Li Guanshu's plan in time, he would have to count the money for him if he was sold by Li Guanshu, it would not be a shameful problem, but would have been tied up by Li Guanshu onto a pirate ship and would have to be coerced by the other party in the future - after all, the identity of the traitor in the Niu Shoushan Taoist Temple was confirmed through their hands.

Therefore, everyone's gratitude to Li Ye was sincere and had no moisture at all.

After taking Li Jing'an's Peiyuan Pill, Song Yuanqiao finally came back from the Ghost Gate. However, his complexion was not good, so he was stronger than dying. However, his life was temporarily saved and everyone could interrogate him.

Everyone was exploited by Li Guanshu and inexplicably fell into the battle between Li Guanshu and Niu Shoushan Taoist Temple. Of course, they had to find out the whole story of this matter.

"I won't say it!" Song Yuanqiao's breath was weak, his eyes were very cruel, and he looked like he was ready to die. "If I said it, Li Guanshu would not let me go!"

Li Ye said contemptuously: "If you don't say it, you will have to die now."

Song Yuanqiao stammered his neck and said, "If you kill me, no one can prove Li Guanshu, your grievances will be in vain!"

His thinking is quite clear.

"Zhi Mom! I torture him, peel off the skin and cramps, and I won't say anything if I don't believe him!" Li Ji shouted. He was now hating Song Yuanqiao and Li Guanshu.

A look of panic flashed in Song Yuanqiao's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said with a ferocious expression: "At worst, I can commit suicide by exploding my own Qihai. No one can get it!"

Li Ji was furious and wanted to say something. Li Ye waved his hand and asked Song Yuanqiao: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Song Yuanqiao was stunned: "What does King An mean? Want to bribe me?"

Li Ye sneered and said, "Don't be stupid. Li Guanshu is dead. Even if you die, there will be witnesses in the Niu Shou Mountain Taoist Temple. Besides, we have princes, princesses, and princesses. Which one of them says is not very important? When we return to Chang'an City, Li Guanshu cannot beat us. The reason we ask you to explain is because your words are indeed somewhat important, but if you insist on dying, we will not let you be a mere county magistrate and wantonly violate our majesty."

Song Yuanqiao's lips moved.

Li Ye continued: "You have seen it just now. If I hadn't saved you, you would have died under the sword energy. It can be seen that the visitor was about to kill you and silence you, and they had abandoned you. After all, you are just a small official. The reason why I am willing to talk nonsense to you now is because you know what I want to know is not how important you are. Li Guanshu can kill you at will, and I can do it even more."

Speaking of this, Li Ye took out Lu Jujian: "Li Guanshu is dead. If you confess honestly, everyone with status present will be willing to have a bright future. If you don't explain, then die now."

As he said that, Lu Jujian fell.

"I'll tell me!" Seeing Lu Jujian approaching her, Song Yuanqiao shouted hurriedly because he saw Li Ye's determination and indifference to his life and death.

Lu Jujian had already reached his forehead and touched his eyebrows. If his shouting just now was one step later, he would really die.

Song Yuanqiao was so scared that his face was bloodless. Li Ye's decisive killing made him frightened.

"Your Highness An... Can you really save my life after this? May I have a bright future?" Song Yuanqiao swallowed. Of course, he was not afraid of death, nor was he a dead soldier. He said so much, but he just wanted to get more chips for himself. To put it directly, it was actually what he said before, which made Li Ye bribe him, but the price was higher.

Song Yuanqiao also figured it out. If Li Ye and others could return to Chang'an, Li Guanshu would really finish it.

"I am the prince of the dynasty, and I still have to doubt my words?" Li Ye raised his jaw slightly, and he looked very arrogant, and then he showed impatience again. "If you want to say it, just say it quickly. I have never been very patient."

Song Yuanqiao had no room for struggle, so he had to be obedient. He quickly explained the whole story clearly.

The officials in Wu County were all promoted by Li Guanshu, so this is his land, and he has a lot of land here - Li Guanshu is Wei Baoheng's right-hand man, with huge power, and has been accumulating money and annexing fertile land.

Some time ago, Li Guanshu fell in love with a thousand acres of fertile land on the bank of the Laoshui River. The landlord was a Fang Yuanwai, a small landlord. He forced himself to sell it at a low price, but the other party refused to agree. He was surprisingly tough. He even insulted Li Guanshu as a treacherous minister in his words, which angered Li Guanshu. So he sent monks to assassinate several farmers in the other party's manor, colluded with officials from the county, framed Fang Yuanwai, and put him in jail.

All these things were handled by Song Yuanqiao. He thought that after arresting Fang Yuanwai, the other party's family would surrender. However, Fang Yuanwai had a clan brother who practiced in the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple. After hearing this, he rushed immediately and wanted to take Fang Yuanwai's family to Chang'an to file a lawsuit.

Of course, Li Guanshu and Song Yuanqiao would not allow such a thing to happen. Li Guanshu sent a confidant from the fifth level of Qi training, that is, the official servant of the soap-yield, to ambush the Taoist priest in Niushoushan halfway. This was a sure thing. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest was also a thoughtful person, and actually let his fellow disciples follow him secretly. In the last melee, although the official servant of the soap-yield killed a lot of Fang Yuanwai's family, he asked Fang Yuanwai's wife to run away with the Taoist priest.

Afterwards, Song Yuanqiao went to the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple, hoping to rely on Li Guanshu's power and power to make the other party hand over Fang Yuanwai's clan brother and wife. However, the Taoist temple did not buy it at all, and it was almost like to catch Song Yuanhai's Taoist Temple and threatened to escort Fang Yuanwai's wife to Chang'an.

There were several powerful monks on Niushou Mountain, but Li Guanshu was not sure of being able to surround them and not let one person run away.

Li Guanshu was furious and simply did not do anything. On the one hand, he sent people to imprison the Niu Shou Mountain Taoist Temple, while on the other hand, he sent people to block the Niu Shou Mountain Road, and planned this conspiracy, which was to use the power of the court to eradicate the Niu Shou Mountain Taoist Temple and not give the other party the opportunity to tell the truth. As long as the other party's identity as a thief is determined, no one will listen to what they say at that time.

After hearing Song Yuanqiao's confession, everyone was very indignant and condemned Li Guanshu's shameless behavior of corruption and abuse of power and taking human life.

"Li Guanshu is so bold. He bought it at a low price and wanted to annex other people's land, but he even dared to send people to pretend to be a thief and harm hundreds of people in several mountain villages! He really thought that with Mr. Wei behind his back, he could do whatever he wanted, turn black and white, and ignore the king's laws?! Such a treacherous minister is really undeniable!" Li Jingan was so angry that his veins burst on his forehead.

"This kind of person should be cut into pieces!" Wu You also clenched his fists and said angrily.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but Li Ye's heart was not in a state of turmoil.

The so-called struggle for power and profit is just a common phenomenon. Which powerful minister has never harmed the public and benefited privately, and has never accumulated money?

It would be fine if it was a peaceful and prosperous era, but the behavior of the ministers would be much restrained, but in the current Tang Dynasty, the government is dark and the treacherous and the power is abusing, this phenomenon will naturally intensify to the point of "shocking" - if the officials and the people are at peace, the powerful and the civilians are in harmony, and everyone lives well, and the world will not be in chaos.

"Why doesn't Your Highness An talk?" Seeing that Li Ye was silent and looked calm, Li Jingan was a little surprised.

Li Ye said: "If there is no such land annexation in the world, the equal-land system will not be destroyed, there will be no such refugees in the Jiuzhou, and there will be no such many vassal states. They will often gather people to chaotic and expel the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Jiedu governors. This matter is caused by forcing land to buy land, which is not worth making a fuss in nature."

When he said this, everyone looked confused.

Of course, the children of the royal family who have not yet become officials and have not experienced much experience in the world will not know that the soldiers and generals in the vassal states are actually mainly refugees. These people who have been rich and powerful, who have lost their livelihoods after occupying land with various skills, and are forced to leave their hometowns will of course develop resentment and hostility. After being recruited as soldiers and generals by various vassal states, they will not be very kind, and it is natural to become arrogant soldiers and powerful generals.

Li Ye has no plans to say much about these current affairs secrets. That is the problem he will face after Sunrise comes to conquer the other side. At present, he said to everyone: "Let's discuss the matter of going to the Niushou Mountain Taoist Temple. I always feel that Li Guanshu will not give up so well."

In a valley thirty miles away from Luoping Village, the official soapy who had been following Song Yuanqiao was standing respectfully behind a man. The man carried his hands on his back and faced the deep and empty valley on the rocks, and was silent for a long time.

It is Li Guanshu.

"I really didn't expect that Li Ye could see through the arrangement of the Duke of the Kingdom. In a very short period of time, he set up a bureau for his subordinates and others, so that the children of the royal family were involved in this matter and stood on his side." The official sent a soap-clothed officer clasped his fists to Li Guanshu, "I am not doing anything well, so I ask the Duke of the Kingdom to punish him!"

Li Guanshu didn't speak for a while, he was angry and thought.

After a long time, Li Guanshu said in a deep voice: "Wei Tianhe, I have always trusted you, so I sent you to Xianxian County to deal with the matter here. But now that the more than a month has passed, you have failed one after another, which disappointed me. If I hadn't been worried this time, I decided to come and take a look, and the situation was out of control!"

Wei Tianhe, who pretended to be an official, changed his expression slightly. He knew that he had failed to intercept and kill the Taoist priest of Niu Shoushan and Fang Yuanwai's family. He was now in Luoping Village and asked Li Guanshu to rescue him. The other party was already very dissatisfied with him.

"Damn it!" Wei Tianhe knelt on one knee.

Li Guanshu was silent for a while and asked, "It's over now, what should we do next? What do you think?"

Wei Tianhe gritted his teeth: "I also asked the Duke of the State to ask for a few masters from Duke Wei. He would do it all without stopping, and he would surround and kill King An, Princess Li and others, as well as the Taoist people in the Niu Shou Mountain Taoist Temple, all of them would be surrounded and killed in this mountain!"
