Outside the Meridian Gate, Li Jinglong sneezed heavily again.
"It's not over yet!" Li Jinglong cursed.
Li Xiaowai, the soldier driving the carriage, smiled and said, "Sir, you have good things come in pairs!" After saying that, he saw two bright and transparent liquids hanging on Li Jinglong's nose and quickly took out a handkerchief from his waist.
Li Jinglong took it over unceremoniously, smelled it first, and said with a smile, "Oh, mandarin ducks playing in the water, that's fine!"
"My mother-in-law made it for me!" Li Xiaowai looked happy when he mentioned his wife.
He first helped Li Jinglong into the carriage, then jumped up and sat on the carriage frame, waving his whip and smiling, "My wife, you are so kind to me! She is wearing clothes, socks, handkerchiefs, and winter bibs and ear-covering gloves."
She made them all. She gets up early in the morning to cook for the little man, and at night she boils the wine without waiting for the little man."
"The villain does the eating and drinking while she makes the bed, and drives away mosquitoes in the summer and warms the bed in the winter. The villain is just like the elder at home, doing nothing. If there is evil in his heart, he will follow the family rules...
."
Li Jinglong nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Well, this is how we live our lives!" As he said that, he suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao Wai!"
"You say!"
"Aren't you tired of being the only girl you have been like this whole day?" Li Jinglong said with a bad smile.
Li Xiaowai was stunned, "Then why are you tired of it? I don't even get tired of looking at villains!"
Li Jinglong laughed loudly, "I will go back to my house later and ask my wife to send you two girls. You are also a decent person in my house. How can you do it with only one woman?"
"No way!" Li Xiaowai was so frightened that he jumped out of the car and waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't dare!" He said, hesitating, "The villain has a bad temper at home. If another woman comes in,
I’m afraid I won’t let this villain get on the kang for the rest of my life!”
"Hahaha!" Li Jinglong laughed heartily, "I'm just kidding you!"
Li Xiaowai also followed suit with a silly look on his face.
After being so amused, the gloom in Li Jinglong's heart dissipated a lot. He looked back at the majestic Forbidden City, waved his hand and lowered the car curtain.
But the next second the carriage started to move, a person was chased out of Miyagi City.
"Mr. Cao Guo, walk slowly!"
Li Jinglong opened the curtain and smiled gently, "What's the matter, little father-in-law?"
The person who came was Li Buquan, the eunuch running errands in front of the Qianqing Palace.
Li Jinglong was such a well-rounded person, he wished that the emperor would be friends with everyone in front of him. The other person was just a little eunuch, and he had no airs of a prince at all.
Li Buquan was in his early twenties, with a round face and small eyes that looked innocent but fair, and he was fair and chubby.
"This slave has met Duke Cao."
"Hey, why are you so polite?" Li Jinglong smiled, "What did you call me for?"
"The emperor has a decree!" Li Buquan stood up straight.
Then seeing Li Jinglong about to get out of the car, he quickly said, "The emperor has said, just listen!" Then, looking around, he stepped forward and whispered, "The emperor has said, the third master of your house will be kept for now!
"
"Huh?" Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, quite puzzled.
Then, Li Buquan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and whispered, "Long live this for you!"
After saying that, he stepped aside, bowed and stepped back.
~~
The horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone, making a clattering sound.
The carriage shook slightly, Li Jinglong held the emperor's handwriting in his hand, his face uncertain.
"Let me just say, the emperor is not that easy to talk to. His cousins were killed when they committed crimes, and many members of the Li family are begging for mercy! Of course, that silly boy from the Chang family sold horses to the King of Chu, which is a taboo.
, had to die. This time... did the third child pick it up?"
Li Jinglong sighed, put the book in his sleeve, and frowned in thought.
Zhu Yunxi's meaning is very simple. Your third brother does not need to die. He can be left to continue to associate with the people who planned the illegal salt sale, and then sell them all.
"This way, my third child will be more uncomfortable than dying!" Li Jinglong thought to himself.
The most important reason why the Huaixi nobles are so huge that even the emperor has to take them into consideration is their unity.
If the third son of the Li family dies because of the secret affair, it will be his own fault. But if he betrays others just to stay alive, he will be a bad person in the Huaixi noble circle in the future. To put it bluntly, in the future
It is not easy for his sons to find wives.
However, in Li Jinglong's view, it is easy to eliminate death in the world.
"Fate is great!" Li Jinglong thought about it again, "It is probably because the Supreme Emperor was thinking of his father and grandfather's affection, and saved the Emperor from the death of the third child!"
"Hiss!" He suddenly took a breath of cold air and then laughed, "But, we can't let him go so lightly."
Brothers are brothers, and calculations are calculations.
If the third child, Li Fangying, is released from the Hall of Enjoyment lightly, with his 250-year-old temper, because Long Live the Lord cannot bear to kill him, he will cause trouble in the future.
Secondly, if you just let him go, wouldn't that make your brother look too incompetent?
You have to tell him that the reason why he is alive is because of me!
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong squinted his eyes and thought in his mind, "Let him live, he will be the bad guy. Does he also want to repay me, my brother, for saving his life? My brother will settle the score!"
Even though Li Fangying was just Li Wenzhong's concubine, when Li Wenzhong was seriously ill and dying, the family property was distributed according to the heads of his sons.
He, Li Jinglong, has known how much stuff his family has since he was able to settle accounts at the age of five or six. His father, Li Wenzhong, conquered Meng Yuan's Xanadu, which was Meng Yuan's companion capital outside the Great Wall, and there were many good things in it.
The Mongolians are so honest. Even the toilet is made of gold, with rubies as big as eyeballs inlaid around it.
The noble warriors of Huaixi are more down-to-earth. They don't like porcelain and silk, and they only pick out yellow and silvery things to grab...move!
"I remember that the third child has a piece of land at Nanguan Water Gate Pier, and there are seven or eight large warehouses!" Li Jinglong thought to himself, "Now the emperor attaches great importance to shipping, so he asked for that land to Brother Qi, and then contacted the Postal Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs
Say hello to be a warehouse. Well, since then, the money from unknown sources at home has become money earned by the warehouse, and its reasonableness and compliance can be traced..."
~
Thinking in his mind, Li Jinglong got off the carriage seemingly full of worries.
After entering the mansion, I did not go to the backyard, but walked directly to the outside of Li Wenzhong Hall.
Several Li family soldiers were guarding the door, and a weak and hoarse shout came from inside, "I want to see my eldest brother, let me out..."
Li Jinglong sighed, waved his hand and said, "Open the door!"
With a creak, the heavy door was opened.
A figure crawled out, hugged Li Jinglong's thigh and wailed, "Brother, please help me!"
"Originally, you are dead. I will enter the palace today...Hi!" As he said this, Li Jinglong sat slumped on a stool.
Hearing this, Li Fangying's heart skipped a beat, and she still hugged Li Jinglong's thigh, "Big brother, big brother, you can't ignore your younger brother. Your younger brother and you are brothers from the same father!"
"The emperor's cousin just trafficked a few horses with the King of Chu, and disappeared without a trace. You said you are a selfish person... How can our family be compared to the Chang family?
"Li Jinglong seemed heartbroken.
"Woo!" Li Fangying cried loudly, "My brother was confused for a moment! Besides, it was not my brother who initiated this matter, he was also harmed by others!"
"Today I entered the palace, and the emperor was furious!" Li Jinglong said again, "I just gave you four words, the worm of the country!"
With a pop, Li Fangying fell down, her body went limp and her limbs were weak.
"You also said that not killing is not enough to thank the world. Commander He Guangyi of the Jin Yiwei is so skilled... Hehe!"
Sweat dripped down Li Fangying's forehead.
"You're a good-for-nothing, how dare you still think about trying to trick him all day long?"
Li Jinglong cursed secretly in his heart, and then said, "The emperor summoned me and scolded me for an hour." As he said that, he shook his head and said, "You know, since my father left, I have never been reprimanded in front of the emperor, nor has the emperor.
No matter how good the emperor is, he doesn’t say a harsh word!”
