I made the villain right.

The passers-by in front of the mansion stopped to watch when they saw the excitement.

Qin Yixian, on horseback, stared at Li Muchi with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

He dismounted from his horse, and the guards behind him followed closely.

He walked forward and stopped two meters away from Li Muci, looking at Li Muci with a fake smile, looking like a smiling tiger, extremely cunning and insidious.

"What is the prince doing?"

"Can't you see? I'm stopping people, people like you who come uninvited."

After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he swept the broom back and forth at the oncoming people, causing Qin Yixian and his guards to retreat repeatedly.

When the guard captain Yan Cheng saw his master being kicked out, his face turned pale and he glared at Li Muci angrily: "Prime Minister Qin will not allow you to be so rude, don't blame us for being rude to you!"

As soon as Yan Cheng finished speaking, the guards behind him drew their swords and pointed them at Li Muci. The swords flashed with murderous intent.

Li Muci was not afraid at all. A hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. He snorted and said, "You guys keep coming to my house to cause trouble, and you still expect me to be respectful to you. Do you think I'm a watchdog like you guys?"

Hearing this, Shi Jin couldn't help but smile.

When it comes to arguing with people, this guy can really make people angry to death.

Yan Cheng's face was extremely dark, while Qin Yixian had a blank expression, showing no emotion at all.

"Sir, do you really think that you can stop me with a broom? I will take it as a sign that I am showing you some mercy. I have something important to discuss with the Marquis, so please make way." Qin Yixian's voice came out coldly, making people realize that he was obviously angry.

"Mu Ci, don't be rude!" a loud shout was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Zhi walking quickly towards them from not far away. When he walked up to Li Mu Ci, he glared at him, snatched the broom from his hand and threw it away.

With just such a throw, the handle of the broom hit Shi Jin's feet directly.

She looked down at her feet, speechless.

This is innocent people being shot.

She moved her feet and gently moved the broom away from her feet.

"It was okay for you to act up in the past, but now that Prime Minister Qin is visiting you, it's disrespectful for you to behave like this," Li Zhi scolded.

Li Muci looked a little aggrieved and unwilling, and turned his head away proudly, not looking at Li Zhi and Qin Yixian.

Li Zhi turned to Qin Yixian and said apologetically: "My son was rude, I hope Prime Minister Qin will forgive me."

Qin Yixian shook his head with a gentle smile on his face: "No problem"

After saying that, he gave Yan Cheng a look. Yan Cheng understood and immediately asked his men to put away their swords.

When Li Zhi saw the group of guards, his eyes changed slightly. He had expected that today would not be smooth.

"Prime Minister Qin, let's go into the mansion and talk." Li Zhi turned his head and made an inviting gesture to Qin Yixian.

Qin Yixian nodded, and the two of them walked in together, followed closely by Yan Cheng and others.

Only after they had all gone far away did Shi Jin and Fan Hua raise their heads.

Fan Hua glanced at Shi Jin's feet and asked with concern: "Is your foot okay? Does it hurt?"

Fan Hua saw it when the broom hit Shi Jin's feet, but it was not convenient to ask because of the situation at that time. He could only ask now that everyone had left.

Shi Jin smiled, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

Fan Hua looked at their figures that had already walked away, his expression slightly complicated, "Looking at their posture, if I'm not mistaken, it may be related to the Thunderbolt."

"We have been planning for a long time in order to deal with today's situation," Li Muci said with his eyes lowered.

Then he looked up at the two of them and said, "Let's go in and see what tricks he is up to."

In the main hall.

Li Zhi and Qin Yixian sat opposite each other, and they were polite to each other on the surface.

Li Muci sat next to Li Zhi, separated by a chair. He looked a bit lazy, but still maintained the elegance and grace of a child of aristocratic family.

Shi Jin and Fan Hua had changed into servants' clothes and were standing behind Li Muci, one holding cakes and the other holding tea, looking very high-profile.

In addition to being on guard against Qin Yixian, Li Muci also tried his best to call Fan Hua to serve him whenever he got the chance.

"Xiao Huazi, pour me a cup of tea."

Shi Jin raised an eyebrow.

Xiao Huazi?

He literally has a new nickname every day.

She glanced at Fanhua curiously, wanting to see his reaction.

There was a hint of displeasure and forbearance between his brows, and he obviously hated this nickname.

Fan Hua suppressed the urge to beat up Li Muci and respectfully stepped forward to pour him tea and water.

Li Muci took the teacup and said with a smile: "Today's tea is really fragrant."

Fanhua just feels a headache towards this childish cousin.

He sighed helplessly in his heart and tried hard to convince himself as a brother not to argue with him.

After Fan Hua returned to his original position, Qin Yixian also got down to business.

"When we were besieging the rebels in Yunxiang some time ago, we could have wiped them out in one fell swoop, but Fan Hua used the Sky-shaking Bomb to escape."

Li Zhi understood it in his heart, but he pretended to be shocked.

“Is this true?”

Suddenly he realized something, and then asked in confusion: "This thunder is in the hands of King Jing'an, so Prime Minister Qin should go to him, why is he here?"

Qin Yixian didn't intend to beat around the bush with Li Zhi, and said directly: "Although the Thunderbolt is a property of the royal family and is managed by King Jing'an, as far as I know, it originally belonged to your Li family."

"I am ignorant and don't understand what Prime Minister Qin means." Li Zhi pretended to be confused.

Qin Yixian didn't care about Li Zhi's attitude and said directly: "My Lord, you know what I am talking about."

"I trust Prince Jing'an and he will not betray the royal family. As for your Li family..." Qin Yixian said, glancing at Li Zhi with a hint of meaning.

Hearing this, Li Zhi's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "What does Fan Hua's Sky-shaking Thunder have to do with our Li family? All the ancestors who knew how to make Sky-shaking Thunder were killed, and the method of making Sky-shaking Thunder has long been lost. Moreover, our Li family has sworn with the lives of our clansmen since our ancestors that we will never make Sky-shaking Thunder again, let alone such nonsense as colluding with Fan Hua."

Li Zhi spoke excitedly, with anger in his voice, expressing his dissatisfaction with Qin Yixian's groundless suspicion.

Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Li Zhi didn't feel guilty at all when he lied, but was very confident.

What a great acting! If I didn’t know this, I would have believed it.

Both of them are cunning and experienced characters. When two masters fight, the slightest mistake will result in defeat, so they will not let the other side see their flaws.

Qin Yixian turned a blind eye to Li Zhi's anger.

"This is all the Marquis's one-sided words."

"You!" Li Zhi's heart was burning with anger.

After a short while, Li Zhi put away his anger. He glanced at Qin Yixian with an obscure look in his eyes.

"I don't think Qin Xiang has bad intentions towards our Li family. Maybe he believes the slander of the villain and becomes suspicious of our Li family."

Qin Yixian smiled gently and walked along the steps given by Li Zhi.

"I did hear some rumors, and I came here to verify them, but I also believe that any rumors are not groundless."

After Qin Yixian finished speaking, he suddenly turned his gaze towards Li Muci: "I heard that your son is close friends with Fanhua and Shijin. The prince is eager to save his friend, so he extended a helping hand. It might not be a bad idea to lend the Thunderbolt to Fanhua."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.

Shi Jin was shocked.

His guess was so accurate that I even suspected he had a God’s perspective.

Li Zhi's palms felt cold when he heard that. He calmly hid his hands in his sleeves. He lowered his eyes and thought, as if he was thinking about how to refute.

Suddenly, a burst of sneers resounded throughout the room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Prime Minister Qin was joking, right? I was so amused that I got internal injuries," Li Muci said with a smile.

Qin Yixian frowned and looked at Li Muci coldly.

Under Qin Yixian's cold gaze, Li Muci continued, "I didn't even know that they and I were close friends."

He realized it later, as if he understood something, and suddenly realized: "Could it be that Prime Minister Qin went to Yunshuijian to listen to a story? I have also heard that story, and I was very angry when I heard it. How could a handsome and elegant man like me lose to such an ordinary person?"

If Li Muci's knowledge was not limited, he would have wanted to say all the words of praise.

After many trainings, Fan Hua can now turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to some of Li Muci's words and deeds.

"I have indeed met them a few times, but this is not enough for me to gamble the lives of my entire family," Li Muci said seriously.

"Everyone in Kyoto knows that they are traitors, and we all want nothing to do with them. Yet, someone is spreading rumors about my son and them at this time. It is clearly an attempt to frame my son and mislead Prime Minister Qin. I hope Prime Minister Qin can thoroughly investigate the truth and clear my son's name."

Qin Yixian's eyes revealed a complicated look when he heard this.

In fact, he had already seen through the fakeness of this, but he didn't expect this point.

After Li Zhi said this, it was pointed out to him that it was not impossible.

After a moment, Qin Yixian said, "Your Majesty is right, but I don't doubt your son just based on this."

"Last night, someone found more than a dozen corpses in the sinking pond in Jiuqu Alley. They were the imperial guards who were responsible for searching the area around Jiuqu Alley. They had been missing for some time. I didn't expect that they had been killed..."

Li Muci snorted coldly, "What does this have to do with me? Prime Minister Qin thought I killed them, but everyone knows that I have weak muscles and bones and cannot practice martial arts. How can I kill them?"

Qin Yixian glared at Li Muci, slightly dissatisfied.

"I haven't even finished what I'm saying yet, but you're already rushing to deny it. Could it be that you're feeling guilty?"

"I'm just afraid that Prime Minister Qin will wrongly accuse a good person," Li Muci said angrily.

Finally, he made a gesture of shutting up helplessly, and made a gesture of invitation, indicating Qin Yixian to continue.

"Killing them is fine, but why go to so much trouble to sink the bodies into a pond? Who would do that? What's the purpose? I thought about it all night and I think it was Fan Hua who did it. He wanted to hide his tracks. So many bodies would definitely leave suspicious traces. As long as we ask the neighbors nearby, we will definitely find clues."

Qin Yixian paused briefly, he stared at Li Zhi, his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

"According to investigation, the Marquis has a house there, but few people know about it."

His gaze turned and he looked at Li Muci with a sharp look, which was very irritating.

"Neighbors have told me that there is a man and woman living in the house, they are sneaky and their whereabouts are very suspicious, and the prince often comes in and out. I have asked people to focus on patrolling Jiuqu Lane and several nearby neighborhoods. I believe there will be results soon."

When Shi Jin heard this, he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Du Xuan is still there. They won’t be able to find him if they raid like this.

Du Xuan has always been smart, I hope he can turn danger into safety.

Shi Jin pondered for a moment, a look of doubt forming in his eyes.

We seldom go out and are very careful when going out, so how come we were seen by our neighbors?

If Qin Yixian wanted to deal with someone, he would usually spread rumors, confuse right and wrong, and pin false charges on people, and then get rid of them. The General's Mansion was well aware of this.

If the testimony of neighbors is used to convict the Li father and son, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.

A Yu and his men have been planning for a long time, are they going to fail at this point?
