Liaozhai Great Sage

"Why did Zhang Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, also appear in the harem, and happened to meet Li Xiuyuan who killed Hu Meiren? How did the commander of the forbidden army arrive in the first place?"

"Although there are many tricks, what does it matter? Most of the civil and military officials are here. As long as Li Xiuyuan is punished with one voice, his charges can be true even if they are false. What's more, he did kill someone and escape from the palace. Go." Du Ze said; "Didn't Master Yang want revenge? Li Xiuyuan personally beheaded your only son in the Jinling City incident."

Master Yang's old face twitched: "He beheaded my son on the charge of treason and defection to the enemy. This is an indisputable fact. I want to deal with him in my own way. What do you want to do with such nonsense? Don't you know that Li Xiuyuan is supporting troops in Yangzhou? Self-respect? He has more than [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. If you use this method to force him to confess his crimes, are you not afraid that he will escape from the capital and raise the flag to rebel? You must know that the Jiangnan area is rich in money and food. Li Xiuyuan has money and food. There are also elite soldiers and mighty generals, even if Taizu is still alive, he only dares to drink wine to release his military power, and it is a big taboo to be executed without planning."

"That's not how an official is. If this wrecked ship of the Song Dynasty sinks, everyone will be ruined. What kind of power struggle and scheming are all just a daydream."

Having said that, he turned around and said, "The old man suggested that Li Xiuyuan be dismissed from office and sent to the north."

"No, Li Xiuyuan has to die today. I won't let him have the opportunity to leave the capital. If he dares to rebel, that's exactly what I want. I will mobilize the Imperial Guards to kill him directly," Du Ze said.

Master Yang sneered: "Don't you bully this old man who doesn't understand military affairs? The number of Taizu built the imperial army was 80, but now excluding those who are paid for nothing, there are still some old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as the descendants of high-ranking officials. It's less than five thousand, and the capital is so big, not to mention that Li Xiuyuan has already left the capital, even if he hasn't, it will be too late by the time you dispatch your troops."

"Master Yang, don't worry, he won't leave." Du Ze said with a smile.

"How can you be sure?"

"Because Fu Tianchou and the two ladies from the Fu family have already invited to the palace. They are Li Xiuyuan's old father-in-law and wife who has never been married. When discussing matters later, Mr. Yang can suggest that the officials send Fu Tianchou and his two daughters to the palace. My daughter was killed with a stick outside the imperial city, if Li Xiuyuan heard about it, he would definitely come to save her, and then he only needs to besieged and killed, and the job will be done."

Du Ze said: "Of course this is the worst possible outcome. Master Yang said before that the Taizu had a drink to release his military power, so you can give him the wine first, and see if Li Xiuyuan is willing to take the blame alone. If not, then we can plan later .”

Hearing this, Lord Yang's expression was moved: "You lunatics don't think about national affairs at all. You just want to use the power of the court to kill that Li Xiuyuan."

He already felt that something was wrong now, what was there about this Li Xiuyuan that was worthy of being murdered by the civil and military ministers above the court at all costs.

It would be fine if Li Xiuyuan had a high position and authority, but he is only a rising star who followed his achievements in quelling the Nine Mountain King Rebellion, and he is far from worthy of being targeted by these ministers.

But Mr. Yang knew very well after being an official for many years. Although he didn't know why these people had to die for Li Xiuyuan, he guessed that Li Xiuyuan must have a huge meaning of existence that he didn't know about, otherwise he would never have been murdered by such a joint effort.

"The matter has reached this point and there is no room for turning around. Once Li Xiuyuan dies, the country will live in peace and the people will be safe. If he doesn't die, we will be the ones who die. You know in your heart that Li Xiuyuan has the ability and strength to rebel, and you don't want to see the man who changed the dynasty again." A moment." Du Ze said, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the other adults.

At this moment, the other officials all looked at Mr. Yang in unison, their dark eyes were full of coldness and viciousness.

Master Yang was cold and shivering, his palms trembled, and he said slowly, "Understood, I understand, but if Li Xiuyuan dies, can I allow this old man to return home?"

"I can't make the decision, it depends on what the national teacher wants, but you can be sure that Master Yang's family is worry-free." Du Ze said.

Master Yang's complexion became even uglier.

He already had a premonition that once Li Xiuyuan died, he would follow in his footsteps, and all he could get was that the people of the clan were safe.

But what he didn't know was that after the evil retribution of murdering a saint in the world, it would only be a matter of time before the Yang family behind him would decline and be destroyed.

The national teacher naturally didn't want to bear such a big karma, so he borrowed a knife to kill people, and Mr. Yang was the best knife.

Soon, the golden bell rang in the palace, and the officials entered the palace to discuss matters.

What is strange is that it takes at least several hours to convene the ministers on weekdays, but today the decree has not been issued for a moment, even the officials themselves have just arrived at the Zichen Palace, and all the civil and military officials have already arrived. Things are very abnormal on weekdays, but today when the officials heard what happened today, they didn't care so much.

However, while the palace was discussing matters, Li Xiuyuan, who had left the imperial city, had already arrived at the magistrate's yamen, and summoned all his cronies around him.

But at this moment, Third Sister Hu said, "My lord, you shouldn't stay in the capital any longer. Since the imperial court hasn't convicted you, you should leave the capital immediately and return to Yangzhou. No one will dare to treat you when you arrive in Yangzhou." how's it going."

Li Xiuyuan looked at the red fox beside him and said, "I want to go, I can go now, if I use the spell, I can return to Yangzhou within a stick of incense, but this is not what I think, when I return to Yangzhou, the only thing I can do is to separate myself and become king. There are two ways to raise troops and rebel, but neither of these two ways is the way I want to go, and even if I want to go, how can I go without killing the national teacher?"

As soon as he spoke, the cronies who had been summoned rushed to the magistrate's yamen.

Sha Jin, the escort of the Escort Bureau, Wu Xiang, Xia Houwu, Hu Lanyu, Yan Chixia...he called everyone he trusted.

"Everyone, everyone has been destined to meet in the capital for nearly half a month, but there is no permanent banquet in the world. I think today is the time for everyone to say goodbye." Li Xiuyuan stood in the lobby and looked at the crowd with a little emotion.

Everyone was a little puzzled and a little puzzled.

"You scholar, why are you saying such sad things in such a good manner? If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Why do mother-in-law and mother-in-law cover it up?" Yan Chixia said in a loud voice, very straightforward.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Since Yan Chixia said so, then I won't be inked anymore."

As he spoke, he untied a cloth bag from his waist, opened it, and found a beautiful woman's head inside.

Although his face was pale, his eyes were still open, staring at everyone coldly, looking very angry.

"Wow, what a powerful demon, where did you hunt this scholar? This is a thousand-year-old demon who has cultivated the Dao. She can't die even if her head is beheaded. I'm afraid she is already a first-class demon." Yan Chixia couldn't help being surprised when she heard this. .

Such a monster is no longer a monster, it should be called a fairy.

"Eldest sister?" Hu Lanyu paused immediately when she saw this head.

Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "Yan Chixia, your eyesight is very good. This is a thousand-year-old fox spirit who has attained the Tao. Now she is a fox fairy. Because she wanted to harm me, I chopped off her head with a sword and brought it back. But she Her identity is not simple, besides being a Fox Immortal, she is also an official beauty named Hu Meiren in the imperial harem."

"Leaving aside her identity as a fox fairy, everyone, I entered the palace today and killed an emperor's woman. I also beheaded a few officials who were manipulated by goblins. What would be the consequences of committing such a thing?"

After speaking, he calmly glanced at everyone.

Chapter 762

The identity of this fox fairy is an official beauty in the palace?

And it was Li Xiuyuan who not only killed a few Hu beauties in the palace, but also killed a few officials who were manipulated by spirits?

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Even if they don't know anything about the court affairs, they know that no matter what the crime is, it is serious enough to behead their heads, and maybe even ransack their families and exterminate their families.

"It's a good kill. Why can't the witch hide in the palace? The evil spirit should be killed wherever it hides in the ends of the earth. Could it be that the old emperor can protect these evil demons?" He laughed, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it: "It's just killing a few evil officials, it's not a big deal, scholar, you are making a fuss over a molehill, I also killed several corrupt officials when I was in the rivers and lakes."

"Because of this, the six gates have issued a list to arrest me, and now I am fine and have nothing to do."

"Yan Chixia, you're out of your mind. You wander the rivers and lakes alone without official status, family members, wife and daughter, and your own martial arts are not bad. Naturally, no one can do anything to you, but Mr. Li has both As an official, there are parents on the top and wives and concubines on the bottom. How can you get away without worrying about anything like you? If Mr. Li walks away, the imperial court will go to Li's mansion to arrest him. This is a disaster for the family , you alone will not understand." Xia Houwu glanced at the side and said.

"Killing an official or a concubine is a serious crime, and killing a concubine in the imperial city. If it is considered minor, it will be dismissed and sent to exile for three thousand miles. They are all villains, and they can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, but if you think about it, Master Li can't get away with it. Master Li should have made preparations earlier."

Li Xiuyuan was not in a hurry, he said: "I already know what to do, but the next thing is very involved, I don't want to involve you, so I want to tell you, I hope you will take care of yourself and leave here, so as not to worry about me because of me. I lost my life for no reason when I was involved in the battle of the imperial court because of the reason, I am very grateful for asking you to come to the capital for help this time, and I can’t implicate you because of my private affairs.”

"So you guys leave now."

After speaking, he took out a jade jug from the ghost king's bag and threw it to Yan Chixia, and then took out a box of gold, silver and jewelry and put it on the ground.

Yan Chixia took it subconsciously, only smelling a strong aroma of wine.

"Scholar, what do you mean?"

"This is the fairy drunk that promised Yan Chixia to you before. This wine was originally used to celebrate after the event. Now it seems that it will be difficult to drink it again. You like to drink this wine for you." Li Xiuyuan said : "This box of gold, silver and jewels is a reward for you, and you will share it, so let's leave the capital."

A box of gold, silver and jewelry is full of beautiful things in eyes, including heavy gold ingots, pearls of the East China Sea, and beautiful jade and gemstones, which can be said to be priceless.

If you grab a handful, you can eat and drink for a lifetime without any worries. If several people divide it up, you will be rich no matter where you go.

"Scholar, are you humiliating me?"
