After Li Rui finished speaking, he grabbed Commandant Heruo's hair and lifted him up, saying,""You broke one of my brothers 'arms, and I'll break all your limbs.”
Commandant Heruo's blood was in turmoil from the kick just now. Other than groaning, he could not speak. How could he express his opinion?
"Since you don't say anything, I'll take it that you tacitly agree!”As Li Rui spoke, he threw Commandant Heruo to the ground again. He stepped on his left shoulder with one foot and grabbed his wrist with the other.
For a moment, there was complete silence. Everyone was silent out of fear as they watched Li Rui slowly carry out all of this.
With a crisp crack, sharp bones pierced out from the flesh. Commandant Heruo's arm was fractured. The crowd let out a low cry in unison, then fell silent again.
Li Rui acted according to the law and broke all of Lieutenant Heruo's limbs. Then, he said,""Send a few people to send him and the soldiers of the Left Military Guards to the doctor for treatment. I know that they are seriously injured, but they will not die. Also, send someone to inform the Left Military Guard to pay for the ransom. Each soldier was worth 1,000 strings of silver, while this lieutenant was worth 5,000 strings of silver. Oh right, pull in the four Eight Bull Crossbows at the door and put them away. These are good things, we can't let others take advantage of them.”
"Yes!" A string of replies rang out from the surroundings, not caring at all whether Liu Hongji was present or whether Li Rui had the authority to give orders.
After giving his instructions, Li Rui said,""Everyone who is here today is counted as one. I'll treat you tonight.”
The crowd immediately let out thunderous cheers.
When doing these things, the silkpants and soldiers were very active, crowding around Li Rui as if they were surrounding the general. Liu Hongji, who was a real general, felt his eyes turn red. After standing for a while, he felt very bored and could only stomp his feet and leave.
"Uncle. Li Rui has really gone too far this time. Once Iron Staff Mai starts to investigate, how are we going to deal with ourselves? This isn't something that he can just say he doesn't want us to get involved in.”Liu Hongji told Li Yuan what had happened in the military camp.
Before Li Yuan could say anything, Li Shiming jumped up with a face full of joy,"Brother Hongji! You said that Li Rui alone killed dozens of Left Guards? He even broke He Ruoxiong's limbs?”
"That's right! I saw it with my own eyes!" As Liu Hongji spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Li Shimin's tone did not contain any disgust, but was full of envy and admiration. He hurriedly changed the topic and said," Li Rui is too lawless!”
"Brother Hongji, I think Brother Po Zhu did a very heroic thing!”Li Xiu Ning also spoke up for Li Rui.
Li Yuan glanced at Li Jiancheng and asked,""Jiancheng, what do you think?"
Li Jiancheng stood up and replied," Broken Bamboo was indeed a little rash in doing this. Iron Staff is not that easy to talk to." However, at the same time, I also feel that Po Zhu did this with affection and righteousness. He did everything for his brother, and his father's appreciation of him was not in vain.”
"But now that we've offended Iron Staff, how are we going to deal with this?”Liu Hongji said angrily.
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng again, indicating for him to answer Liu Hongji's question. He was almost fifty years old, and Li Jiancheng was almost twenty. It was time for his son to take charge.
Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and said," Iron Staff Mai values face the most. If Father can bring Broken Bamboo to apologize, I think he will give our Li family face."”
"If you want to go, go. This old man can't afford to lose face.”Li Yuan said unhappily.
"If Father allows it, I'm willing to make this trip for you." Li Jiancheng immediately bowed and said.”
Looking at his son, Li Yuan sighed and said,"I'm tired today. Let's talk about it later.”After saying that, he stood up and walked back, leaving everyone on the spot.
Li Jiancheng and Liu Hongji looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Of course, they could tell that Li Yuan was unhappy, but they didn't know what made him unhappy.
"Big brother, I really don't know what you're thinking. How could you give dad such a bad idea?" Li Shimin said in a sonorous tone. It was clearly the Left Guards who attacked first, and Li Rui retaliated in anger. Why should we take the initiative to apologize?”
Li Jiancheng said helplessly," I don't want to do this either. But Father is hated by His Majesty. It's too late to be careful. How can I cause trouble again?" If he didn't take the initiative to settle the matter, things would be even more troublesome when Iron Staff Mai came knocking on his door. Once the news reached the Emperor's ears, Father would be in trouble again.”
Li Xiu Ning smiled lightly and said,"I don't think so. If this lawsuit goes to His Majesty, we won't lose." On the contrary, if his father took the initiative to apologize to Iron Staff, His Majesty would not like it.”
"What do you mean?" asked Li Jiancheng with a frown.”
"It can only be understood, but not explained in words!" Li Xiuning said with a smile.”
Li Xiu Ning didn't say it, but Liu Hongji, who was next to her, already understood. He wasn't a stupid person. He was just angry that Li Rui had caused trouble and stolen his limelight. Therefore, he was angry and wanted to make things difficult for Li Rui by complaining to Li Yuan.
After hearing Li Xiu Ning's words, Liu Hongji immediately reacted." Although Li Yuan wasn't very successful, he was still a proper Duke, the cousin of Emperor Yang Guang, and a member of the Emperor's family. Yang Guang could do whatever he wanted to Li Yuan, but others could not bully Li Yuan. You could alienate Li Yuan, but you must not bully Li Yuan, because bullying Li Yuan was equivalent to bullying the emperor.
Liu Hongji couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he thought that Li Jiancheng's knowledge was not as good as Li Xiuning's. Sigh, how could people be at ease with such a prince? But if he didn't follow the prince, who would he follow?
Thinking of this, Liu Hongji subconsciously glanced at Li Shimin…
