Seeing that Ma Zhou changed his face very quickly and skillfully, Fang Jun sneered: "You have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you act like a loyal minister and righteous man all day long, but it turns out that you can change your face as skillfully as flipping a book, so you can see that you are not a good person."
Ma Zhou disagreed: "What does this have to do with whether he is a loyal minister or not? When someone dies, it is out of courtesy that we show an expression of condolence and resignation. Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."
The two of them were muttering here, and then they saw that the Korean King Li Yuanjia had led a large number of Zongzheng Temple officials to enter the gate, and even Li Xiaogong came side by side... He quickly stopped talking, and Su Rong stepped forward to salute.
Before Li Xiaogong could return the courtesy, Li Daoli, who was following behind, had already trotted forward and asked urgently: "Where is my son now?"
He saw that all the clan members and noble disciples had been subdued, and knew that something was not right. He wanted to fish Li Jingshu out now. As long as he let go of this old face, the King of Han and the King of Hejian would definitely be able to give him a face.
…
Fang Jun looked sad and sighed: "Shi Zijie mourned that my son accidentally fell down during the chaos and was trampled on, causing multiple rib fractures and injuries to his organs. Although I ordered people to do their best to save him, there was really no way to save him..."
Ma Zhou drooped his eyelids with contempt in his heart. Just now he laughed at himself for changing his face like turning the pages of a book. You can't be less generous.
Li Daoli felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned on the spot and suspected that his ear was broken.
Broken ribs...injured organs...no way to save yourself...dead?
"This, this, this...how could it be like this? How could it be like this? Where is my son now?" Li Daoli's face was dull and his words were incoherent. He hoped that Fang Jun had an old grudge with him and was deliberately joking with him.
Fang Jun pointed to one side: "It's right there, Prince, let's go take a look. We'll send someone to carry him back to the mansion later for funeral." Li Daoli stumbled over and saw his usually lively son lying on the cold ground.
His eyes were closed tightly, his face was black, and there were still dark dried blood stains on the corners of his mouth. Suddenly, his whole body felt like he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
He trembled violently as if struck, and then his eyes went black. He knelt down in front of his son's body, paused his head on the ground, and cried loudly.
The cry is sharp and piercing. Since ancient times, white-haired people have sent black-haired people to grief, which makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.
Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanjia were also shocked. They looked at Fang Jun at the same time. Although they did not speak, their eyes already said the meaning: You did it?
Fang Jun didn't say anything, he shook his head quickly, and then pointed at Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou said: "The situation was complicated and chaotic. After Youjin Wuwei arrived and took control of the situation, he found that Li Jingshu fell to the ground and had no chance of breathing.
The doctor accompanying Jinwu Guard gave him emergency treatment, but the injury was too serious.
, there was no way to save her life, which is very disappointing. The lower official watched the whole process, and the doctor's treatment procedures and methods were very reasonable. Li Jingshu was indeed trampled by someone, which caused damage to her organs and passed away. It had nothing to do with anyone else."
Li Yuanjia nodded repeatedly: "Ma Fuyin is careful and responsible, which is good." Although Fang Jun would ride a horse and break through the palace gate from time to time, break into the palace and beat anyone he saw, but after all, he was still his brother-in-law, how could he be willing to meet him?
He is caught in the dilemma of "murdering the clan"? Now it would be great to have Ma Zhou testify and endorse him
But that's it.
Ma Zhou said calmly: "It's a matter of course, as it should be." Suddenly, Li Daoli, who was crying bitterly on his son's body, suddenly stood up and let out a howl, then ran towards Fang Jun quickly, and the two
The eyes are blood red, the mouth is open and the teeth are exposed, like a wild beast that chooses people to eat.
He was like a beast, which shocked everyone. But before he could rush to Fang Jun, Master Sun Ren had already rushed forward to meet him, kicked Li Daoli in the abdomen, causing him to stop and bend over in severe pain, and then whipped his leg hard.
On Li Daoli's head, the latter groaned
He fell to the ground, and Sun Renshi kicked the opponent in the abdomen again. Li Daoli curled up like a shrimp, vomiting in his mouth, snot and tears streaming down his face, but he couldn't even scream. Li Xiaogong, who didn't say much, frowned.
Sister, after all, Li Daoli is a member of the Li Tang royal family. Being beaten like this by Sun Renshi, a warrior, in public is humiliating and brings disgrace to the royal family. He coughed and said displeasedly: "An old and frail common man.
That’s all, why did General Sun treat you like this? I know you are loyal to Erlang, but Prince Dongping is grieving the loss of his son, and it is understandable that he acted irrationally in a state of sadness, so let’s just let it go.”
"Here."
Master Sun Ren quickly agreed and stepped aside.
"Uncle, uncle, save me! I am Chongxu!" A shout rang out from under the wall on the other side. Li Xiaogong frowned and looked over. He saw Li Chongxu struggling to get out of the control of the soldiers and rushing over. Two soldiers rushed over.
Afraid of Li Xiaogong's power, he did not dare to use force, but he also did not dare to let Li Xiaogong go.
Chongxu, a little hesitant.
Li Xiaogong scolded: "Shut up! You have the guts to do such a stupid thing but don't have the guts to take it? King Cai doesn't have a useless bastard like you! Just stay here and wait for His Majesty to deal with it. If you dare to do anything nonsense again, no one can save you."
You!" Li Xiaogong's grandfather, King Cai Li Wei, had two sons together, King Li Zhe of Jinan and King Li An of Xiping. Li Zhe's son, King Li Yuan of Lujiang, was close to Prince Yin Li Jiancheng. He was defeated and killed during the "Xuanwumen Incident", leaving three sons, Li Chongxu.
That's it
The youngest one. Li An has four sons, and Li Xiaogong ranks second... The relationship between the two brothers Li Zhe and Li An is not good. They are loyal to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin respectively, and they have experienced a life-and-death fight, so the two families have very little contact. However,
After all, Li Chongxu was his nephew, although he couldn't be saved on the spot.
But I can remind you that since "no one can be saved if you dare to do whatever you want", it means that something may not happen this time...
Li Chongxu's side became quiet. Li Yuanjia rubbed his temples and looked at the clan members and noble disciples in the courtyard who were wailing and begging for mercy. He sighed and said, "How should we handle the matter here?" Li Xiaogong pondered for a moment and said, "There are so many clan members.
, Honorable disciple, if we deal with it in accordance with the law, it will definitely cause an uproar. The law does not blame everyone. The struggle between the monks and Taoists is currently in full swing, causing unrest in Guanzhong. If it happens again,
If you cause trouble, it will not end well, so you might as well deal with it as a common crime of making trouble, with a yoke, a fine, and a reprimand, that's all."
Li Yuanjia also tended to let it go so lightly. There was already an undercurrent in the clan. If a big fight was launched at this moment, who knows if someone would be unable to sit still and do something disloyal. Fang Jun didn't see it that way. He
Pointing to Li Jingshu's body, he reminded: "If we just attack Jingzhao Mansion, that's it, let's put things to rest. But now that a clan prince has died, I'm afraid it's not something you two can do."
It’s decided, I’m afraid it’s up to His Majesty to make the decision, and even if everyone refuses to pursue it, I’m afraid even the Duke of Dongping won’t do it, right?”
"Bitch thief! You must have secretly plotted to kill my son. Give me my son's life!"
After regaining his breath, Li Daoli fell to the ground and still glared at Fang Jun with eyes split open and his teeth grinding loudly, as if he wanted to eat Fang Jun alive. Li Xiaogong was dissatisfied and yelled: "What does this matter have to do with Erlang? He doesn't care at all."
Not present! Moreover, the situation at that time was so chaotic that we didn’t know who was responsible. In the end, it must have been ignored without any evidence. On the contrary, if it caused a huge storm,
Do you think the Dongping County Prince's Palace will be safe and sound as the waves involve more people? Why don't we just let it go and let me come forward and ask all those who participated in the attack on Jingzhao Palace to pay huge compensation to make up for the losses of the Dongping County Prince's Palace." "Fart! You
This old thief has no time to put on a fair face. You are all colluding together. I fell into your trap. You secretly murdered my child. I, the Prince of Dongping County, have nothing to do with you.
I will fight to the death! Ah! Evil thief, give back my son’s life!”
Li Daoli cried and howled, yelling at the top of his lungs, with tears streaming down his face. His whole body was tortured by the tremendous grief of losing his son, and he was in a trance.
Li Yuanjia sighed sadly, and when he saw Ma Zhou sitting quietly at the side, he asked: "Prince Bin, you have witnessed the whole thing and know it in detail. How do you think it should be dealt with?" The one who was attacked was the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. This is
The source of all things, so Ma Zhou is qualified to suggest how to deal with this matter. As long as Ma Zhou expresses his willingness to let go of the past, Zongzheng Temple can put this matter aside and finally achieve the goal.
Deal with it in a low-key manner.
He believed that Ma Zhou could understand the hidden dangers and risks behind this matter, and that Ma Zhou could take into account the overall situation. However, Ma Zhou had a solemn look on his face: "The noble prince of the clan died violently in my official office, and I cannot resign."
How dare you ignore the blame? Besides, Erlang led his troops to maintain order just in time for the meeting. I'm afraid he won't be able to clear away the relationship.
It would be best to inform His Majesty as soon as possible, and then Zongzheng Temple, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department can all participate in investigating the case."
Li Yuanjia and Li Xiaogong looked at Fang Jun at the same time. Li Jingshu died in such a strange way. Is this guy really innocent? But no matter what, since Ma Zhou didn't want to settle the matter, Li Jingshu also had to get the truth, so he could only report it according to the rules.
, and then the Majesty issued a decree instructing the Three Law Divisions to conduct a joint trial and the Yushitai to supervise it. The Crown Prince of the County Prince's Palace was not
Kittens and puppies, these are blood children whose names are listed in the royal family's genealogy. It would be extremely difficult to cover up the news of their death.
Li Yuanjia had no choice but to say: "I will enter the palace to ask for your Majesty's instructions. I will ask the three of you to stay here temporarily to control the situation. Don't let the chaos spread to the whole of Chang'an, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"These are our responsibilities, so I don't need to worry about His Highness the King of Han. You can just do your job well."
Fang Jun didn't treat his brother-in-law with much respect, and his speech and behavior were very casual. Li Yuanjia couldn't do anything with him. Although his words didn't sound right, he still understood the meaning of "mind your own business" and understood that it was definitely not that simple behind the matter.
, he nodded, turned out of the gate, and led his entourage to ride horses along the golden light.
Men Street went all the way east to Chengtian Gate. Li Xiaogong glanced at Ma Zhou and pulled Fang Jun aside. Seeing no one around, he asked in a low voice: "What on earth is going on? How dare these bastards attack Jingzhao Mansion?"
