Soon, the evidence that Li Chenggong was a "bandit" was collected, and every item was full of evil.
Unfortunately, Yang Fan did not look happy.
According to Yang Fan's rough estimate, at least several hundred people were killed this time, and as many as hundreds were arrested.
At least half of these people will be killed, and even the best ending will be a lifetime of corvee service.
But this is the tyranny of imperial power, and this is why everyone wants to be the emperor.
Seeing that Yang Fan was not in high spirits and even showed a trace of intolerance, Li Junxian certainly knew what Yang Fan was thinking, so he could only sigh softly and said: "Brothers who discuss good things, the emperor's orders are difficult to deal with. As for how to deal with it, we ministers cannot speak nonsense.
You don’t dare to speak nonsense, you say so?”
Yang Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Thank you, Brother Li, for the advice. It's just that I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me! I feel a little uneasy!"
Of course he knows this.
In this era where imperial power is supreme, there is no reason to speak, and there is no room for compassion.
But some habits of later generations made Yang Fan very uncomfortable.
Li Junxian said nothing more!
In his opinion, this brother's ability to assess the situation is much better than his own, and he can just point it out.
So he said: "Since the main culprit has been caught, let's go back together to report to the emperor?"
With that said, he asked the government soldiers to escort Li Chenggong and others towards Chang'an.
Although Yang Fan didn't want to see His Majesty Li Er at this time, he had no choice but to follow him.
Arriving outside Chengtian Gate, Li Junxian went in first to report back to His Majesty Li Er. Yang Fan was waiting to greet him.
When Yang Fan became impatient with waiting, he walked unsteadily across the palace gate and walked inside.
The soldiers guarding the gate naturally knew about Yang Fan's deeds, and naturally they did not dare to stop the newly promoted Wannian County Duke.
Unknowingly, Yang Fan came to a beautiful garden, where the flowers and plants had obviously been carefully trimmed.
It is spring at this time, and the flowers are in full bloom, making it look full of spring.
A breeze blew by, followed by a strong fragrance of flowers, which made people immersed in it.
But before Yang Fan could slowly appreciate it, the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
Because he saw a little girl running among the flowers like an elf.
He was still holding a net bag in his hand, but he was chasing a colorful butterfly.
The butterfly danced among the flowers, left and right, up and down, as if it was teasing the little girl.
Although the little girl couldn't catch it, she wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed like silver bells from time to time.
After chasing after each other, the butterfly flew out of the flowers.
The little girl chased her out and happened to see Yang Fan standing at the entrance of the garden, smiling at her.
The little girl cheered, threw away the net bag in her hand, ran over quickly, hugged Yang Fan's thigh, and shouted in a sweet voice: "Brother-in-law, have you come to see Sizi? I heard that my mother-in-law said that my brother-in-law is injured. Now
Does it still hurt?"
Yang Fan picked up little Sizi and said, "Look, my brother-in-law can pick up this little fat pig like you. Do you think my brother-in-law's injury is healed?"
Little Sizi hugged Yang Fan's neck and pouted, "Sizi is not a fat pig! If my brother-in-law says that again, Sizi will be angry."
Yang Fan chuckled: "Okay, okay, our Sizi is the most beautiful little princess in the world. She is not fat at all. But if my little princess is not a fat pig, why can't she even catch up with a butterfly?"
Little Sizi then suddenly realized and shouted: "Oh, it's all my fault, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law, hurry up and catch that butterfly, it's about to run away."
Yang Fan looked at the carefree little Sizi, and his somewhat irritable mood calmed down.
After looking at the butterflies that flew back to the flowers and danced freely, Yang Fan suddenly felt a little sad.
Such a beautiful butterfly, but it only has a short life. Isn't this just like the life of the little princess in front of me?
She couldn't help but feel more pity in her heart, and said softly: "Sizi, look, that butterfly is flying freely among the flowers. It's so beautiful. Why do you have to catch it?"
What Yang Fan didn't say was that this butterfly is just like you. Once caught and locked up, it may die. So what's the point?
This beautiful but short life, why not let it live happily and freely?
Little Sizi blinked, not understanding the meaning of Yang Fan's words. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Brother-in-law is right. If we catch it and lock it up, wouldn't it be the same as Sizi?"
"Little Sizi is very bored staying in the palace every day! Otherwise, little Sizi won't catch it."
"Brother-in-law still owes me three stories. Can you tell Si Zi a story?"
Of course Yang Fan remembered the bet a few days ago.
Looking at the little Sizi's big, shining eyes full of longing, I felt even more pity for him.
Even if His Majesty Li Er continues to favor her, she is a princess after all.
Apart from having fun in the palace, I rarely have any companions and rarely go out.
Now she is chasing butterflies in the palace garden alone. Isn't this a kind of loneliness?
With both hands raised, he directly carried the little Sizi on his shoulders and walked towards the pavilion in the garden.
There is no child who doesn't like being carried on shoulders, especially one like a little one.
Being used to being carried by Yang Fan, little Sizi was not afraid. Instead, she hugged Yang Fan's head and shouted, her little face as excited as a red apple.
As they walked, Yang Fan said: "Three stories are nothing. If you tell my little princess, you have to tell her a hundred or so stories, so that our princess can hear enough."
Yang Fan's words are really not bragging. When it comes to the knowledge reserve in his head, he may not be as good as a erudite scholar.
But when it comes to telling stories, there is really no one in this era who can compare to him.
Soon, the two came to a pavilion in the center of the garden.
The place is clearly well decorated, with coffee tables and screens, and the scenery is even more elegant.
Surrounded by flowers and swaying green trees, it is quiet, elegant and peaceful.
Put Xiao Sizi on a chair and sit next to him.
Looking around, I didn't see any palace maids or tea cups, so I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
I just rushed here from Qinling Mountains in a hurry. After half a day, I felt a little thirsty!
Unknowingly, Yang Fan got used to being served by others.
Besides, you can’t just pick up the teapot and drink directly from it, right?
Xiao Sizi was very smart. Seeing Yang Fan's disappointed eyes, he asked: "Brother-in-law, want to drink tea?"
Yang Fan was not polite and nodded directly: "Yes, why is there a teapot but no teacup here? Also, are you playing here without a palace maid following you?"
They actually let the little princess play in the garden by herself. Those palace maids were really big-hearted.
There are flower ponds and rockeries in the garden...
If little Sizi made a slight mistake, His Majesty Li Er would have to kill them alive?
Xiao Sizi smiled secretly, winked slyly, and said in Yang Fan's ear: "Of course my father and mother will not allow me to come here to play alone. There were several maids here just now!"
"However, Sizi thought they were not having fun at all, so he lied to them and said that my jade pendant fell into the water. They should be fishing for it in the flower pond at the moment!"
As she said this, she found it interesting and burst out laughing.
Yang Fan smiled helplessly, it turned out that this little girl who seemed like a good baby was also a living treasure.
However, this shows the innocence of children even more...
Little Sizi jumped down from the chair, rummaged on the side of the table for a while, took out a teacup, and said softly: "Sizi pours tea for brother-in-law, drink it quickly so that you can tell Sizi a story."
Yang Fan grinned and said, "Yes."
It's just that his casual posture shows no sign of being a minister.
Xiao Sizi poured several cups of tea. Seeing that Yang Fan didn't continue drinking, he sat down next to Yang Fan. He raised his chin with his little hand, blinked his big eyes, and urged: "Brother-in-law, you've finished drinking the tea. Let's talk quickly."
!”
Yang Fan thought for a while and didn't know what to say, so he asked: "What kind of music does our little princess want to hear?"
Because there are too many stories in my mind!
In my previous life, I had read Grimm's fairy tales and ghost stories in order to pick up girls.
For a moment I didn't know what to say.
Xiao Sizi held her fingers in her mouth and thought for a while.
Yang Fan told her stories such as Snow White, the dwarfs, etc.
These stories were obviously of a foreign style, so Xiao Sizi said: "Brother-in-law, can you tell us the story of the Tang Dynasty?"
Maybe he was afraid that Yang Fan wouldn't be able to tell the truth, so he had to test it cautiously.
Yang Fan was amused by her expression, reached out and touched her head, and said, "Of course, my brother-in-law knows a lot of stories!"
"In the Tang Dynasty, when it came to telling stories, my brother-in-law came second. No one dared to say he was first. So, my brother-in-law told our little princess a story about monkeys."
"Okay, okay, I just like little monkeys." Xiao Sizi clapped his hands with a look of anticipation.
Yang Fan pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"In the distant ancient times, when Nuwa was patching up the sky, she forgot about a colorful sacred stone in the human world. As time went by, this colorful sacred stone absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and gradually showed signs of life. Finally one day, this sacred stone gave birth to a child.
A stone monkey, the stone monkey came to a gathering place of monkeys. Because of the stone monkey's infinite power, he gradually became the monkey king here. Unfortunately, he was not satisfied with this...
In his previous life, Yang Fan often told stories to people and knew best how to capture people's focus.
So the story was very interesting to tell. Little Sizi listened with great interest and was completely lost in the mythical story.
When it was said that Stone Monkey went overseas to learn the art of immortality, the little princess couldn't help but feel ashamed that she was tired of studying.
When talking about the stone monkey being thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun, little Sizi was also worried and frightened.
As the plot deepens, Xiao Sizi completely immerses himself in it.
What kid doesn't want to be a hero like that?
When it was mentioned that the Stone Monkey had been suppressed for 500 years, his eyes burst into tears and he was very sad. The little Sizi called the great monk a bad guy!
Of course, Yang Fan modified this story for the purpose of educating little Sizi.
What she did just now to push away the palace maid was actually very dangerous, and he didn't want to put the little princess in danger.
Yang Fan held her in his arms and said softly: "This is just a fairy tale, but this story tells us that we must be brave enough to take responsibility when we do something wrong."
"However, little Sizi is not as naughty as a monkey. You just need to be happy and don't have any regrets. Remember, you can't play alone next time. It will be dangerous."
Little Sizi nodded tangledly: "Sizi knows that he was wrong. My brother-in-law is right. A naughty boy is not a good boy. Sizi will never tease those palace maids again!"
"So good!" Yang Fan chuckled, stroked her hair lovingly, lowered his head and kissed her white forehead.
This intimate gesture made Xiao Sizi so embarrassed that she crawled into Yang Fan's arms.
Yang Fan found it interesting, but subconsciously hugged Xiao Sizi into his arms.
This little girl is very sensible, and Yang Fan doesn't want her to have an accident because of her playfulness.
Although this little girl withered like a flower in the original history.
But Yang Fan hopes that by paying attention to every aspect, the little princess can grow up healthily.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk!
The sunlight slanted through the screen and shone on the desk, scattering countless tiny spots of light.
At this moment, a cough broke Yang Fan's feelings.
I saw His Majesty Li Er walking in slowly with a gloomy face and his hands behind his back.
Xiao Sizi immediately cheered, jumped up from Yang Fan's arms, ran towards His Majesty Li Er, hugged Li Er's thigh, raised his little face and said: "Father, you are here, my brother-in-law just gave me
Telling the story of the Stone Monkey is really fun!"
"Oh?" Your Majesty Li Er's face twitched, and he wanted to get angry.
But when I saw my daughter’s bright smile, I immediately suppressed my anger!
Yang Fan quickly got up from his chair and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty!" But he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The emperor's face was very dark. Could it be that he was menopausal?
Just when Yang Fan was thinking wildly, His Majesty Li Er glanced sideways at Yang Fan and suddenly became angry.
Originally, Li Junxian said that Yang Fan was waiting outside, but Li Er sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him after searching for a long time.
There have always been others waiting for him, so how could the emperor wait for others?
What's more, this guy put the queen in danger a few days ago, and she hasn't given him an explanation yet!
Seeing Yang Fan at this time, Li Er was naturally angry, so he said to Xiao Sizi in a deep voice: "You go and play with the palace maid for a while. My father has something to talk to Yang Fan."
Little Sizi blinked his big eyes and immediately realized that his father was angry.
Could it be that my brother-in-law has offended his father?
Little Sizi stuck out his tongue, feeling very interesting.
Her father was so angry every time. She felt that this brother-in-law was too bold.
Turning around to look at Yang Fan, I saw that he was secretly sending out a distress signal.
Little Sizi understood the idea and hugged His Majesty Li Er's thigh without letting go. She said in a coquettish voice, "Sizi doesn't want to go out. Sizi wants to play with his brother-in-law."
"Father, if your brother-in-law has made you angry again, then you can just beat him. Sizi will never plead for brother-in-law!"
"My brother-in-law just said that if you do something wrong, you must be brave enough to take responsibility. This is what Xiao Sizi learned from the story of Stone Monkey. If my brother-in-law does something wrong, then beat him!"
After saying that, he secretly winked mischievously at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan was dumbfounded!
This is really a little ancestor!
I just told that story mainly because I want the little princess to pay attention to it and not to wither due to accidents.
Who would have thought that these little girls would teach me a lesson in return? It’s true!
I was counting on you to save my life!
Isn't this a good thing? Not only do you refuse to save someone, but you also add insult to injury and give him a severe blow?
OMG!
If Li Er was serious about his abduction of the queen, he would be in big trouble and it would be a fatal matter.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er did not get angry. Instead, he ruffled his daughter's hair and said helplessly: "Why, you actually went against your father to an outsider?"
Princess Jinyang lowered her head and said sheepishly: "Where is Si Zi? Didn't Si Zi say that you can beat your brother-in-law if you want? Besides, he's not an outsider either!"
In other words, the daughter is her father’s little cotton jacket. She has a very good grasp of His Majesty Li Er’s emotions!
She said this deliberately and didn't leave on purpose because she believed it deeply.
As long as she is here, His Majesty Li Er will not beat Yang Fan.
At this time, Yang Fan also understood!
Secretly he gave a thumbs up to the little princess!
As expected, my pain for this little girl was not in vain, so generous.
Being pestered by little Si Zi, His Majesty Li Er had no choice but to suppress his anger. Then he glared at Yang Fan and gritted his teeth and said: "You are really good at it. You actually coaxed Si Zi to plead for you. Did you think so?"
Can I let you go for putting the queen in danger?"
Yang Fan quickly said: "I don't dare. The reason why the Empress was in danger that day was actually because the hot air balloon was difficult to control and was blown off course, so it landed in the territory of the remnant of the former prince."
"Besides, the humble minister accidentally discovered the lair of the remnant of the former crown prince. There is no credit but hard work."
"However, fortunately, His Majesty has clever calculations, wise and powerful skills, and wiped out the remnants of the former crown prince in one fell swoop. He is indeed a wise king rarely seen in the history."
This flattery is so flattering that little Sizi can’t bear to look at it!
He made a face with an expression of disgust, which was obviously his secret contempt for Yang Fan.
Your Majesty Li Er also sounds a little disgusting!
Although he could see Yang Fan's thoughts, His Majesty Li Er did not intend to let Yang Fan go just like that. He turned to little Sizi and said, "You go and call your sister Gao Yang over first. Don't worry, my father is sensible!"
Seeing His Majesty Li Er being so determined, Xiao Sizi could only show a helpless expression.
With a look that was asking for blessings, he hurriedly called Princess Gaoyang.
She hoped that this seventeenth sister could persuade her tyrannical father to make her cheap brother-in-law suffer less.
