What's wrong with being a salted fish?

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Zhao Jingming was leaning against the window, drinking in front of the bright moon, when he heard the noise outside.

There's no need to make quarrels when enjoying fireworks, right?

"I am reporting to the prince because of Mr. Li."

"Oh? Li Hongrui? Why are you here if you're not grounded?" It seems that Mr. Li still loves his son very much, and he has done things that openly resisted the decree.

Master Li: I’m not, I don’t have it!

"What did he do?" Zhao Jingming put down the wine glass in his hand and frowned.

Laifu hesitated, wondering whether he should speak.

"Tell me?" Zhao Jingming didn't understand what Li Hongrui had done that made Laifu unwilling to say anything.

"Well, Mr. Li, you are naked in public, and..."

"And what?" Zhao Jingming never knew that Laifu would be so appetizing.

"And...well...to the sky..." Laifu was too embarrassed to say it.

Zhao Jingming understood what Laifu said and was at a loss for words for a moment.

What should I say, Li Hongrui worked really hard?

"Then Mr. Li tripped over his own clothes and fainted." The corner of Laifu's mouth twitched. He couldn't hold it back and covered his face with his sleeves so that Zhao Jingming could not see his twisted expression.

He was really holding back his internal injuries.

"Where's in charge?"

"Took Mr. Li away. The person in charge said that he did not dare to offend Mr. Li and wanted to ask you, Your Majesty, to help him."

Zhao Jingming held his chin and laughed out loud. He had to admit that Li Hongrui was a bit stupid, and his disobedience would drag Master Li to death.

"Then help him." Zhao Jingming snapped his fingers, and the secret guard appeared in the room.

"See Master."

"Go and tell Mr. Li exactly what happened tonight, don't miss anything." Zhao Jingming ordered.

"Yes!" The dark guard took the order and left.

Zhao Jingming made fun of Li Hongrui in his heart. Fortunately, he was stupid enough, otherwise he might not be able to catch Master Li in a short time. At the same time, I hope Mr. Li will be able to withstand the "blessing of children" when he gets older, and not pass out from happiness.

Li Shangshu was indeed about to faint, he was so angry.

When the secret guard went to Li's house to inform him of the news, Li Shangshu was having sex with his concubine.

When the secret guard passed by the servants of the Li family who were blocking him and kicked open the bedroom door without hesitation, Mr. Li was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack.

Li Shangshu got up from his concubine's bed and looked at the stranger who broke into the room. When he was about to order the servants to arrest him, the secret guard took out Zhao Jingming's token.

Seeing the token was like seeing the prince himself. Li Shangshu was so shocked that he immediately rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground.

After standing up, Li Shangshu put on his coat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked the secret guard why he came.

After listening to the secret guard's detailed and unreserved description of Li Hongrui's actions, Li Shangshu rolled his eyes and was about to faint, but the secret guard choked him in time.

"You traitor!" The first thing Li Shangshu shouted after he woke up was to scold Li Hongrui.

Does this traitor know what he is doing? ! Do you think my father died quickly enough?

Although Li Shangshu was ambitious, he would not have dared to resist the edict openly even if he had a hundred courages. Li Hongrui, on the other hand, resisted the edict even in front of Zhao Jingming. Who in the Li family did he want to kill?

At this time, Li Shangshu began to wonder whether Li Hongrui's previous intelligence had been deceived by him, otherwise how could he do such a stupid thing.

"The prince has ordered Mr. Li to clean up the mess."

The secret guard conveyed Zhao Jingming's message expressionlessly. Seeing that Li Shangshu was still standing there stupidly, he wanted to reach out and grab Li Shangshu's collar and take him away.

"Yes, yes, it's time to go. This uh, good man, wait a moment, I still have some things to deal with!"

What Li Shangshu said he needed to deal with was to find Li Hongrui's mother.

Mrs. Li's residence was far away from her concubine's, so she didn't know what was going on.

When Li Shangshu opened the door and came in, she was half lying on the couch, listening to the maid reading a storybook to her.

When she saw Li Shangshu, she was a little surprised. Didn't the master say that he would go to the little bitch's place today? How could he still have time to come to her place?

Li Shangshu couldn't control that much anymore, so he went up and slapped Mrs. Li, which stunned Mrs. Li.

"You bitch! I clearly asked you to keep an eye on that traitor, but what did you do? Huh? He's going to run outside and break the sky!" Li Shangshu was so emotional that he patted his face with his hand. .

"My face will be completely humiliated by this traitor! He didn't listen to what I said to him! Why didn't you tell me that he ran out? Why didn't you tell me!"

Li Shangshu looked ferocious, he really wanted to be mad at the mother and son. If it was a trivial matter, maybe he could handle it. But now it’s okay, maybe everyone will have to finish it!

"Master, Master, I don't know! I just feel sorry for Rui'er and didn't ask him to do anything harmful to God?" Mrs. Li covered her face with tears and looked at Li Shangshu with red eyes.

She was full of grievances. She was just afraid of suffocating her son, so she asked him to go out for some air.

"You feel sorry for him and let him go out to have fun. Look at the trouble he has caused now. Who are you offending! Do you think it was me who locked him up? Wrong. It was the emperor who asked him to reflect and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. , you’d better let him run out unscrupulously and disobey the emperor’s order, how many heads do you have enough to cut off!?”

Li Shangshu now regrets very much. He should not have trusted the mother and son in the first place, and actually teamed up to deceive him. Now it's okay, the scandal has come out, and he can't even save his own head.

Li Shangshu sat down at the table helplessly and sighed heavily.

It's too late to say anything now, let him first think of a way to bring his legitimate son back from the prince safely.

......

Li Shangshu followed the secret guard who led the way tremblingly.

After boarding the boat, he had been very nervous and kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief, trying to calm his mood.

"Your Majesty, Master Li is here." The secret guard knocked on the door first and entered. After receiving a positive reply, he stretched out his arm to signal Li Shangshu to come in. After Li Shangshu entered the room, he closed the door and disappeared again.

"See you, Your Majesty." Li Shangshu thought he was calm enough, but he didn't expect that he would stutter when he opened his mouth.

"Master Li, there is no need to be polite, please sit down."

Zhao Jingming's calm expression gripped Li Shangshu's heart. He could only smile and awkwardly sat on the chair next to him.

Then, Zhao Jingming made two cups of tea and pushed one of them in front of Li Shangshu.

"Come, Mr. Li, have a drink."

Master Li did not refuse and picked up the teacup with trembling hands.

"I wonder what the prince is looking for?" Mr. Li took a sip of tea and looked at the motionless Zhao Jingming opposite him. He felt that he was under a lot of pressure.

"Nothing, I just want to talk to you about Mr. Li." Zhao Jingming said.

"Did Quanzi do something?" Li Shangshu pretended to be dumbfounded, saying that he had never heard of it and didn't understand what Zhao Jingming was talking about.

Ah.

The secret guards have come to the door, so he still wants to pretend that he doesn't know anything?

Zhao Jingming didn't bother to play such a drama with him and directly ordered his men to drag Li Hongrui out.

"Master Li, take a look for yourself." After Zhao Jingming said this, he stopped talking.

Master Li seemed to be frozen. Seeing Li Hongrui like this, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

His proud son was lying naked on the ground like a boy in Yiyuan. He couldn't accept it.

Although I had heard from the secret guards before, seeing Li Hongrui naked with my own eyes had a huge impact on Li Shangshu.

The last time he stole someone's clothes, this time he went naked and went crazy in public. Li Shangshu's old face turned red with embarrassment.

But what frightened him was what Zhao Jingming said next.

"It seems that Mr. Li is not very good at teaching children? If I remember correctly, Mr. Li also went to school. How come he doesn't even know what he can and cannot do?"

Zhao Jingming crossed his legs and crossed his hands on his lap: "What do you think, Mr. Li?"

"Yes, yes, the prince taught me a lesson because I failed to discipline this rebellious son well. I wonder..." Can I return his son to him?

With a look from Zhao Jingming, his men dragged the unconscious Li Hongrui to Li Shangshu's feet.

Li Shangshu quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around Li Hongrui. He couldn't help complaining in his heart that Zhao Jingming was so unkind, why he didn't even give him a piece of clothing, and let his son stay naked for so long, and was dragged around for nothing. dignity.

"Master Li, I hope you can explain everything that happened today to your brother when you go to court tomorrow, do you understand?"

Li Shangshu looked at him in horror, indicating that he wanted to tell the emperor about this.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Before he could say anything to beg for mercy, he was choked back by Zhao Jingming's fierce eyes.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Jingming asked again.

"Ming, I understand." Li Shangshu lowered his head feebly. It was useless even if he resented Li Hongrui. It was a fact that he resisted and disobeyed the order.

Li Shangshu wished he could go back to the past few days, when he would personally take good care of Li Hongrui and prevent him from causing trouble, but now it is too late to say anything.

When Li Shangshu and Li Hongrui were preparing to return home, he and Lin Zhuo collided head-on.

Li Shangshu was very embarrassed. Normally, he would wait for several juniors to say hello to him, but now, he wished he could disappear immediately.

Without saying a word, he quickly left with Li Hongrui.

Lin Zhuo and the others didn't stop him, as it would be bad if they made him angry.

"Brother, who is Master Li resisting?" Lin Yuhe tugged on Lin Zhuo's sleeves, stood on tiptoes and said close to his ear.

"I don't know, maybe it's Mr. Li." Lin Zhuo wanted to laugh when he saw Li Shangshu running wildly with his son at such an old age.

"But wasn't Young Master Li punished and grounded by His Majesty?" Lin Yuhe was very confused. She must have remembered correctly?

"Maybe he is brave." Yang Shilan snorted disdainfully. With Li Hongrui's virtue, she was not surprised by anything he did. What's more, he usually stared at Lin Yuhe with a sly look, which made her very repelled.

Lin Zhuo touched Lin Yuhe's head. Every time he saw Lin Yuhe, he would think of his native family. They were both brothers and sisters. How come there was such a big gap between them.

Oh, maybe not a kiss? But in fact, he and Lin Yuhe are not biological siblings.

Thinking about this, Lin Zhuo actually felt a little sad. He didn't know how the Lin family would feel if they knew that he was not their son or brother, but a fox.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Let's go back!" After Lin Yuhe and Yang Shilan waved goodbye, they saw Lin Zhuo standing there in a daze.

"Ah, it's nothing, let's go." Lin Zhuo smiled and shook his head, telling himself not to think so much.

"Mr. Lin, oh Mr. Lin, wait a minute, little man!"

As they turned to leave, a slightly high-pitched voice came from behind them, as if someone was pinching their throats.

Lin Zhuo turned around and saw Laifu, who was panting. This person seemed to be next to Zhao Jingming? What to do with yourself?

"Mr. Lin, call, let me take a breath." Laifu didn't expect them to leave so fast. He went to their private room but couldn't find anyone and quickly caught up with them.

After Laifu regained his breath, he took out a paper bag from his body and handed it to Lin Zhuo: "This is what our prince gave you."

"what?"

"Sweet dessert." Laifu wanted to win favor with his prince, and continued: "The prince specially asked the chef to make it. I hope the young master will like it."

He bent slightly and handed the thing to Lin Zhuo, but Lin Zhuo could only accept it.

"Excuse me, please go and convey my thanks."

"No trouble, no trouble!" Laifu wiped his forehead and smiled.

Why doesn't this person come by himself? You've changed your mind, right?

......

On the way back, Lin Yuhe couldn't control her mood and poked Lin Zhuo: "Brother, what does the prince mean?"

Why did she suddenly give something to her brother? She felt something was wrong.

"Maybe the prince appreciates me more? I don't know." Lin Zhuo pretended to be stupid.

"Really?" I've never heard of King Jing giving sweet desserts to others before?

"Do you want to eat?" Lin Zhuo asked her.

Lin Yuhe shook her head like a rattle: "No, no, no, that was specially given to you by the prince. I feel so embarrassed to eat it."

Lin Zhuo pinched her face: "He doesn't know, let alone you still argue with me about this?"

"Then I'll only eat a little bit, hehe." Lin Yuhe said cheerfully. She really wanted to try it, but she wasn't afraid that her brother wouldn't be able to finish it.

......

The next day, Ayun hurried into the house and whispered something in Lin Zhuo's ear.

"Oh? Really?" Lin Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes."

Lin Zhuo touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that Li Hongrui would actually leave the Li family and run away.

Today, Li Shangshu bowed his head and knelt in the main hall, obeying the emperor's orders.

The Li family openly resisted the decree, and Li Hongrui was ungrateful. This was a serious crime of beheading.

Zhao Jinchao had a kind heart and was given a lenient sentence. The entire Li family was exiled for three thousand miles. Li Shangshu was demoted to a commoner, and his children could not enter the officialdom in the future.

As a result, when the officers and soldiers came to the door, Mr. Li's legitimate son Li Hongrui was missing. After investigation, it was said that he had escaped and he has not been found yet.

Lin Zhuo held his head with one hand and said nothing.

I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him, but I was naive.

"Wow, he is so brave!" 0617 said.

"Indeed, I didn't expect him to dare to escape, but he will definitely come back."

He believed that Li Hongrui would never give up. The next time he took action against Lin Yuhe would be when he sent him to see the King of Hell.
