Li Jianbi's heart ached, he lifted the curtain of the car, and the rain outside seemed to be getting heavier.His robe was wet when he went to Fan's residence, and sitting in the car at this moment, his whole body was icy cold, like it was winter.

It took half an hour for the carriage to arrive at Li's Mansion. The servant opened the curtain for Li Jianbi and helped him out of the carriage. Someone touched Li Jianbi's palm, and he couldn't help but feel distressed: "My lord, why is it so cold? It's raining so hard. The people of the Fan Mansion didn't ask the adults to change clothes before coming back."

Li Jianbi said indifferently, saying nothing.

San Yue took the umbrella from the slave's hand, and said that my lord should go back to the house quickly, it's past time, I should rest early, and I have to go to court tomorrow.As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and someone called from a distance, "Master Li!"

Everyone turned their faces away when they heard the words. In the moonlight, rain and mist, the man was not wearing a coir raincoat, but dressed like a man from the Captain's Mansion.The man immediately went to the mansion, before he could even stand on his feet, he said: "Master Li, someone accused you of treason tonight, His Majesty has issued an order to come to the Qing mansion to arrest someone!"

Several house slaves were distracted by his words, and they stood in place without making a sound.Seeing that Li Jianbi didn't respond, the messenger stepped forward and said, "My lord, this matter is not trivial, and I'm afraid there is nothing we can do to recover it. Quickly pack up your things and run away!"

Li Jianbi stood still, with raindrops in his ears, he glanced at the man for a long time, and said, "Is it the letter from Mr. Feng who sent you to report?"

The man's eyes were full of anxiety, and he didn't answer, he just said: "The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring, and that's all he can do. Sir, please go quickly." The token was stuffed into Li Jianbi's hand and said: "You take this out of Chang'an, and hide in any place where the sky is high and the earth is wide. After a while, we will discuss it later!"

Li Jianbi took it over and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Feng, for me." He glanced at the man again and said you should go quickly, His Majesty's people should be coming soon.

The man responded, got on his horse and turned his head away. Before walking, he said, "Your Excellency, you don't have much time, so you must move quickly." After speaking, he flicked his horsewhip and quickly disappeared.

Li Jianbi stood still for a while, then slowly turned around and walked into the mansion.

Sanyue was still in shock, so she called him twice, but Li Jianbi didn't respond, so she couldn't help but said anxiously: "What's your plan, my lord? Do you want this servant to pack your things for you?"

Li Jianbi went to the study, and said calmly: "No need." Sanyue didn't know what he was thinking, and at the moment, he didn't care too much, put the umbrella into the hands of others, and said: "I will clean it up for you now!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned her head and went to the household room, but Li Jianbi didn't stop him, and just went straight into her study.The servants behind him looked at each other in blank dismay, holding their breaths and daring to say a word.

Li Jianbi went to the closet, opened the hidden compartment with a golden lock, and took out the letters he had exchanged with Meng Pingshan in the past few years. He stood still in front of the case, and ordered the house slave beside him, "Light up the lamp."

The house servants were stunned for a while, and it took a long time for someone to respond. They hurriedly took the fire folder from the drawer, and lit the incense candles on the table.

Li Jianbi took the incense candle in his hand, walked to the charcoal basin behind the door, and threw the candle stub into it with one hand.He works until late at night all year round, and his servants know that he is afraid of the cold, and silver bone charcoal is often burned behind the door.

Li Jianbi dumped the letters in his hand, and watched as each letter was slowly burned in the charcoal fire.

He had only stood there for half an hour, when there was a loud banging on the door of the mansion in the distance, and the clash of swords and reprimands could be heard carefully.Li Jianbi raised his head and said: "Go and open the doors and windows of the mansion. Don't stop them from searching anywhere." He added, "Tell the commander of Jin Yiwei that I am in the study."

The nearby servant responded and hurried away.But within a few minutes, there were chaotic footsteps rushing towards the study room, a person stepped into the rain, wearing a dark red python suit and heavy boots, he was the leader of Jin Yiwei Xue Gang, he saw Li Jianbi as soon as he entered the room , asked: "Master Li?"

Li Jianbi said: "Yes."

Xue Gang shouted, "Take it down!" Immediately, two Jinyi guards rushed out from the side, each of them grabbed Li Jianbi with the other and pinned him to the ground.

Sanyue saw people blocking the door of the study from a distance, she was in a bad mood, she walked a few steps closer and saw Li Jianbi, she couldn't help but said: "My lord, be merciful, my lord is not in good health..." The commander of Jin Yiwei glanced at her , took out half of the sword light in his hand, and shouted: "Bold!"

San Yue was stunned by his glance, all the servants of the Li Mansion outside the door all took a step back, holding their breath and not daring to do anything wrong.Xue Gang turned around and took a look at Li Jianbi, unfolded the edict in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Li Jianbi, the leader of the Lantai, deceived the emperor and tried to rebel. Now he will be dismissed and investigated. He will be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment and handed over to Dali Temple Way! Qinzai!"

He withdrew the summons and asked, "Master Li, do you have something to say?"

Li Jianbi was pressed halfway to the ground, his jet-black hair hanging down on both sides, covering most of his face.He was silent for a while, and only said: "I have nothing to say."

"When we arrive at Dali Temple, it's up to you to say or not." Xue Gang cast a cold look, waved his sleeves and said, "Take it away!"

That night, Li Jianbi was thrown into Dali Temple, all his slaves were imprisoned, his family property was confiscated, and his mansion was seized.

Ten years of trust has been overturned.As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger, but the tiger's mouth and sharp teeth are not sacred, but brothers of the same dynasty.Prosperity, wealth, high position and power make people willing to walk away from the tiger's mouth, even to the point of being smashed to pieces without regretting the original.

Fan An was worried, the heavy rain outside the window kept falling, which made him upset and unable to fall asleep.Until Choushi, the servant he sent out to watch Li's mansion came back, stood outside the door with his body wet, and said, my lord, Lord Li of Lantai was taken away by Jin Yiwei.

Fan An was lying on his stomach on the bed, when the house slave finished speaking, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the night sky, shining white light at night, and Fan An's heart jumped out of shock.He was stunned for a while, and asked: "What? It was raining too much, I didn't hear clearly, come here and say it again."

The slave took a look at him, approached the bed, and said, "Return to your lord, Master Li of Lantai was taken away by Jin Yiwei! Li's mansion has been sealed up now!"

"How did this happen?" Fan An almost jumped up, he reached out and grabbed the slave's sleeve and asked, "Why was he taken away so well? What happened?!"

The slave looked at his face, trembling and unable to speak steadily: "Young...you don't know. I only saw him being escorted out of the house... Hundreds of servants in Li's house were all taken away." Shackles. I don’t dare to step up and ask the reason!” He swallowed and said, “Don’t worry, my lord, the court official will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for deliberation first, and my lord will know about it early in the morning.”

But Fan An couldn't wait until dawn, he was anxious and got up to get out of bed.But he forgot that his buttocks were still bloody and bloody, and he couldn't even walk. As soon as he stood up, he felt a stabbing pain, forcing him to lie down again.

Fan An tugged at the corner of the quilt, meditating calmly and calmly, he knew nothing about Li Jianbi's situation at the moment, even if he went to Dali Temple overnight, he would not be able to find out anything.It won't be too late to figure out Li Jianbi's charges when the papers come out tomorrow.

He held on to this thought until dawn, he was wounded by a stick, and his servant asked for leave early for him, so he didn't have to go to court today.Fan An was waiting in the official hall of the Ministry of Punishment, and sure enough, a paper was delivered from Dali Temple early in the morning.

Li Jianbi, the leader of Neishu Lantai, was tried by Dali Temple for the crime of treason, and then handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for judgment.Fan Angai submitted the paper, and asked Si Zhi who delivered the paper loudly: "Where is Li Jianbi?! The court official committed a serious crime of treason, and before the trial, why didn't he hand it over to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? He sent it directly to Dali Temple? When I Is the Criminal Department a display?!"

"This is the Holy Majesty's will." Nasi glanced at him and said with a sudden smile, "The friendship between you and Mr. Li is known all over the court. If you hand it over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation, it is obvious that you will be protected? Dali Temple Shaoqing Bai Hezhou You are just and wise, and you will not wrong Mr. Li."

Fan An was furious. He was lying on the Luohan couch in the official hall, but when he heard this, he stood up, gritted his teeth, walked in front of Na Sizhi, grabbed his skirt, and asked, "What did you say?!"

Na Sizhi was frightened by his expression, and hurriedly said that the official papers had been delivered, and he wanted to leave first!He made a few bucks, turned away from Fan An and ran away.

Fan An didn't stop him. Seeing the man exiting the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he turned to the chief officer beside him and said, "Bring me my official uniform. I want to go to Dali Temple myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of people and horses were suddenly heard outside the mansion.Fan Anding stared at it, and it turned out that several imperial guards walked in. The leader looked up and saw Fan An, and said with a smile: "Master Fan, there are yellow paper documents."

Fan An was in a daze, and the leader had already handed over the paperwork to Fan An, saying: "Master Fan, you are injured and cannot take care of yourself. Within two months from today, Xu Tong, the prime minister of Dali Temple, will take over temporarily. You have the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, so you can rest in peace and recuperate, and put aside your criminal duties for now."

"What?!" Fan An unfolded the document and took a look, "Ask me to temporarily suspend my execution? Whose idea is this! Your Majesty?"

"It's the document drawn up by Mr. Liang. I'll plead for you early in the morning, and then I will approve it." The man smiled, "Mr. Liang is very caring for you, so I asked for this decree in the morning, so we can't wait for a moment. It kept coming."

Fan An was holding the document, his inner anger burst into flames, and he either tore it up or tore it up, so much that he almost burst into tears.

"Lord Fan, you don't have to be so moved." The man said, "This yellow paper document is the dispatched official document. You keep a copy, and the Ministry of History keeps a copy. Xu Tong, who will replace you, will be here soon."

For the first time, Fan An understood what it means to be scheming and calculating, to cover the sky with one hand but not to see the sun.
