Suddenly, the door to the wing was kicked open, and Tian Hangnan rushed in wearing armor and holding a sharp sword.
Behind him were Wei Gang and Tang Yun. Looking back, there were all neatly equipped Imperial Guards outside.
Jiang Yue and the scholar were stunned. Before they could react, Tian Hangnan knelt down on one knee and said to Li Qi: "My lord, I am late, please forgive me!"
Grandma, you are finally here!
Li Qi took a breath and said: "Colonel Tian, there is no need to blame yourself, get up."
"yes!"
After Tian Hangnan stood up, he focused his attention on Jiang Yue and the scholar.
When he saw him like this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and he still couldn't calm down.
"Bold!" shouted the scholar, "Who is it? How dare you break into the prefect's mansion!"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Let me introduce to you. This is Captain Tian, who is also the logistics general of the Imperial Guard. Didn't you just say that you can mobilize thousands of people from Zhoushun?"
With that said, Li Qi glanced at Tian Hangnan: "Colonel Tian, how many people did you bring here?"
"Reporting to your lord, 30,000 Imperial Guards have been stationed outside the city, and 5,000 have entered the city!"
Upon hearing this number, the scholar's feet softened and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Master Jiang, it seems that there is a huge disparity in our military strength?"
"Li...Master Li...you rashly lead troops into the city. Aren't you afraid that I will report to the Holy One that you are rebelling?"
"Rebellion?" Li Qi said with a smile, "Master Jiang, did you forget what I said just now? I told you that the emperor sent me here."
"No...impossible! How could the emperor send you to Zhoushun?" Jiang Yue said.
"The emperor did not send me to Zhoushun, but the emperor had other important things for me to handle. It's a pity that I was caught by you when I was passing by Zhoushun, which delayed the emperor's important affairs. Today I will kill you!" Li
Qi said coldly.
"You...you..." Jiang Yue was too anxious to say a word.
"How dare you! Mr. Jiang is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court. What rights do you, a small fifth-rank official, have?" the scholar gritted his teeth.
Li Qi looked at him: "Then what grade are you in?"
The scholar was stunned, licked his lips and said: "I...although I have no rank or rank, I am Lord Jiang's adviser..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qi said to Tian Hangnan: "Colonel Tian, drag this guy out and chop him down."
"yes!"
Tian Hangnan himself is Li Qi's man, not to mention that he is Li Qi's subordinate this time.
Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the scholar and dragged him out.
"Master Jiang! Save me! Master Jiang!!!"
No matter how the scholar shouted, it had no effect at all.
Jiang Yue sat on the chair, his legs a little weak.
He never expected that things would develop like this. He, who had always been a local emperor, was completely confused by this sudden incident.
After the scholar was taken away, Li Qi said to Wei Gang: "Monk, go out and close the door and stand guard at the door. No one can come in without my order."
"yes!"
Wei Gang clasped his fists and said, then went out of the house and closed the door.
In an instant, only Li Qi, Tang Yun, and Jiang Yue were left in the room.
Li Qi found a chair and sat down leisurely, and took out a small medicine bottle from his arms. The "magic pill" contained in it was used once since he came out of Feiyan Village.
Passing it to Tang Yun, he said: "Give him one."
Tang Yun took the medicine bottle and nodded, then walked towards Jiang Yue.
"You...what are you going to do? What are you going to give me to eat? I won't eat! Do you know who is behind me? If you dare to touch me, the person behind me will definitely not let you go!!"
Jiang Yue roared, but it was of no use at all.
Tang Yun went over and pinched his mouth and stuffed the magic pill into his mouth.
After a while, Jiang Yue's consciousness began to drift.
Probably because he was afraid that Li Qi would forget the efficacy of the magic pill, Tang Yun reminded: "Sir, you can only ask him three questions. If you ask too many..."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "I know, I haven't forgotten what happened to the bandit Jiang Fei last time... Grandma, why are these guys named Jiang? They can't be the same group, right?"
Tang Yundao: "Sir, Jiang's surname is the common surname of Daxia, and one of them is in the south and the other is in the west, so it obviously doesn't matter."
"I'm just talking casually." Li Qi smiled.
Seeing that Jiang Yue's medicine was almost done, Li Qi approached him and asked, "Who is the person behind you?"
"Marquis Yuwen..."
Hearing this name, Li Qi was a little surprised. He wanted to ask more questions, but he held back.
Grandma, there are only three questions. You still need to think about them first before asking them.
"Were the things you did in Zhoushun ordered by Marquis Yuwen?"
"no……"
"Then why do you do whatever you want in Zhoushun?"
"In order to hand over Yuwen Hou's money and keep his official position."
After asking the three questions, Li Qi glanced at Tang Yun with some hesitation, and then pulled her aside: "You said he won't fail if you ask another question, right?"
Tang Yun shook his head: "I don't know either."
"How many questions did we ask last time?"
"Forgot...it seems like there should be six or seven."
"It takes six or seven to ask someone to death. If I ask four, there should be no problem."
"What do you want to ask, Master?"
Li Qi rubbed his hands and said, "Didn't you hear that he said he had to pay money to the superior every year? Naturally, I wanted to ask him where he hid the money."
Tang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "What expression are you looking at? I am doing this for the sake of the prince. If I steal Yu Wenhou's money, wouldn't it be equivalent to weakening his strength in disguise?"
Tang Yun smiled and said: "Okay, sir, I didn't say anything. If you want to ask, just go and ask."
"I'm afraid that you will think that I am greedy for money. In fact, I am not a greedy person." Li Qi said seriously, "Money is not a good thing. Look at how many people work hard for money. What am I doing?"
Do good deeds...let me bear all the pain."
After saying that, Li Qi sighed: "If being rich is also a mistake, I would rather make the same mistake again and again..."
Tang Yun couldn't stand listening any longer and gently pushed Li Qi over: "Young master, go and ask, the medicine will be gone after a while."
"Yes yes yes!"
Li Qi hurriedly went to Dao Jiang Yue and said, "Where are you putting the money you plan to pay to Marquis Yuwen?"
"They are all in the cellar of the mansion..."
After answering this question, Jiang Yue obviously felt a little uncomfortable, and his whole body twitched slightly.
Li Qi was afraid of asking him to death, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
Although Li Qi felt that he deserved his death, he was still a fourth-rank official after all. He asked Tian Hangnan to lead so many people into the prefect's mansion this time. If he died, Marquis Yuwen would definitely take part in his death.
