"Master Li, let me just say that I have never done anything to disgrace the prefect..."
Professor Zhao looked at Li Yong and then at the soldiers searching the governor's hall.
"I also know that Ye Yongjia has shown some evil intentions."
"Has a bad heart?" Professor Zhao was puzzled, "What do you think he wants to do?"
"He just covets your position and wants to monopolize power." Li Yong saw Ye Yongjia's purpose so simply.
"He used this method even though he knew I had never done it. Is he really a fool?"
Li Yong suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed with inspiration, but he remained motionless, his mind seemed to be racing rapidly.
"I'm telling you!" He slapped his forehead excitedly, watching the censor's visit, leaving the banquet, and now the matter of asking for talismans, the whirling in his head made all the facts come together.
Li Yong hurriedly left the Governor's Hall, and Professor Zhao caught up and asked, "What is Ye Yongjia's intention?"
"He's crazy! He has wanted to overthrow us for a long time! This move is to create trouble for the troops and delay time!" Li didn't have time to turn around, mounted his horse and cracked the whip, "You guys! Come with me to tell the story.
Yamen! Hurry up!"
Before the soldiers could react, there were no more people on the street, and dust started to rise.
The door was slammed against the wall. Li Yong glared at him, and he was somewhat afraid.
"Li... Li Gong...?" Ye Yongjia asked with trembling breath.
"Stop talking useless words," Li Yong was not polite to him at all, his voice was cold. "Come with me to see Mr. Lu. How can you still defend yourself to this day?"
"What made you so angry?" Ye Yongjia asked with erratic eyes and a guilty conscience.
"I've seen through you. But I think you're crazy."
"crazy?"
"You have done so many dirty deeds, and you must know that only Mr. Lu would hide them all. But now you have colluded with the censor to report the situation to the court?! I don't understand what you want to do.
"
Ye Yongjia saw that the context of the matter had been grasped tightly by him, as if his throat was being strangled, and there was no chance to argue. He put down his cover up, stood up and said, "That's because... I don't want to be Lu Deguang anymore.
Puppet, I just want to make up for my mistakes, the evil I have done."
Li Yong smiled helplessly and shook his head, "You are still young. Even if you get rid of Lu Deguang, there are still a lot of people in the officialdom who firmly control you! Your faults are too numerous to describe! This is even harder than mending the sky.
Ten times more!"
Ye Yongjia lowered his head silently and remained speechless.
"But it's useless to say this, your life is in my hands. Let's go." Li Yong sneered.
"The imperial army is coming." Ye Yongjia seemed to be talking to himself, but to Li Yong, these words were like a lightning strike.
"What?"
Ye Yongjia looked at him and said, "I'm talking to the imperial court. The imperial court has received news of the censorship and has sent troops to attack Chenzhou in large numbers."
Li Yong's plan was so easily shattered. He understood Ye Yongjia's methods and saw that his colleague was about to die, but he was unable to stop him. Because he made a wrong calculation at the beginning, he regarded his humanity as
It was too humble and insignificant. He didn't know that Ye Yongjia was struggling from beginning to end, although this struggle was more or less mixed with that kind of twisted hatred.
He knelt down.
Ye Yongjia had never seen him look so groveling, not even in front of his master.
He also kowtowed to him; after kowtowing three times in a row, Li Yong looked at him with a sad look: "I don't want to die with Lu Deguang... I am willing to offer you countless good strategies, and I am willing to serve as the leader from now on."
Your staff...as long as you spare me!" As he said that, he dragged one leg and slowly approached Ye Yongjia.
But this does not bring about forgiveness easily. Ye Yongjia is extremely angry. What he hates is that such a ruthless person who cares about human life is so afraid of death. He strode forward, holding his collar tightly with both hands, almost
Lifting him up, the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were thick and red.
"What harm did you do to Lu Deguang! You first taught him to take bribes, and then you taught him to kill people and silence them!...Look at me again!" Ye Yongjia shouted sharply, his voice was sad. "I saw with my own eyes that my conscience is slow.
Tortured by my pride, I saw Wu Renyun in such despair outside Xihua City, I saw people being burned alive in the fire, and I also saw how Liu Shuban was framed to death by my perjury!"
Li Yong did not dare to speak, his face was pale. When he saw Ye Yongjia, he suddenly laughed: "But now you are afraid of death! Since you are not afraid of the souls of those who died unjustly, how are you afraid of your own death?! How can your life be worth anything!"
Li Yong wiped the spit on his face and said in a low voice: "I admit that I am a wicked person... whatever Mr. Tongzhi says is whatever he says..."
"You are more than just a villain...you were simply born to express the evil in the world!" His hand tightened.
Li Yong was unmoved by his disparagement and was used to it. He just said softly: "Please let go..."
Ye Yongjia's hand suddenly loosened up. Li Yong immediately fell to the ground, causing a "dong" sound, which can be said to be a solid fall.
But his face turned from the frightening pale white to an iron-blue color, and then gradually turned rosy again. He fell to the ground without moving, took a good breath, and then slowly got up.
"You can scold me, as long as you can feel better, you can scold me however you want... I just want to save my life..."
"I……"
He was speechless for a moment, as if he had just realized that these accusations of his were useless and were just to comfort his heart. So, it was time for him to end his talk as Ye Yongjia, and he would think about the situation as a fellow intellectual.
"I have to consider cutting off Lu Deguang first." He calmed down and said.
"Then we have to follow your method of delaying time."
"What can you do? You have found out that Professor Zhao is fine!"
"No, no. There are far more deadly tricks here than this. I just rely on Master Tongzhi to make a wise decision."
Ye Yongjia looked into his eyes, ready to accept his cruel and vicious methods; but it was no longer suitable for him to be angry anymore, because he was Ye Tongzhi of Chenzhou, 'Lord Tongzhi'.
But Li's words are very reassuring.
"Your Excellency, all you have to do is send people to the army to spread the news that 'Lu Deguang is going to rebel', and the whole city will be in trouble. By then Lu Deguang has lost people's hearts, and the uprising will fail, and he will just sit there and wait to die."
After hearing this, Ye Yongjia rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a while. "I still have to think about it. You should go back first, so as not to arouse people's suspicion."
"yes."
Li Yong dusted off the dust on his body, straightened his messy clothes, regained his composure, and left the study. This chapter has been completed!
