"I! No!"
After Dou Yuande finished speaking, he slammed his head onto the ground, feeling extremely vexed.
"However, I will tell you today that the so-called demon weapon you mentioned can be done with this item in my hand.”
Li Er excitedly continued and suddenly stood up."The reason why I was able to unify the great cause was because of the trust I have with my brothers in front of the hall. If I have even a sliver of suspicion towards them, the Great Tang will not be unified, and there will be no Great Tang in this world.”
Li Er's reprimanding voice echoed in the hall as he continued,"Dou Yuande, your unfilial son has been running amok in Chang 'an City all day long, causing chaos under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Do you think I don't know? Three years ago, if it wasn't for your unfilial son's rape and murder of a virtuous wife, which aroused public anger, you wouldn't have sent your unfilial son to the Andong Military Governor's Office in the name of training, but in fact, to seek refuge. Now, not long after you returned to Chang 'an, you have nothing to do all day, running amok in the countryside, bullying men and women. If it wasn't for your contribution to the Imperial Family, I would have killed your unfilial son long ago.”
"Your Majesty…"
The shocked Dou Yuande suddenly raised his head. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"What's wrong? Is what I said wrong?" Li Er asked with a dark face.
"My…my son has a million faults, but…but he shouldn't have been killed by Jiang Yi and humiliated my entire family in my manor, right? Your Majesty…"
Dou Yuande kept calling out 'Your Majesty', his voice was so sad and despairing that he looked like he was about to cry.
"I will not pursue today's matter on account of your relationship with Imperial Father. If you still refuse to forgive me, don't blame me for being ruthless.”
Li Er turned to look at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was stunned and quickly cupped his hands."Your Majesty!"
"Zhen is also saddened by your brother's death, but you have already killed Dou Jinghui, so this matter will be dropped. If anyone dares to pester you in private again, Zhen can only get rid of them.”
Li Er started to act cool.
Jiang Yi refused." Your Majesty, it's a small matter that my tavern was smashed. However, after my brother was killed, my wife was left alone. She still has to live from now on. I hope Your Majesty can let Dou Yuande compensate my brother's wife for her living expenses from now on."”
What was that?
Dou Yuande's eyes bulged once again. F * ck, you're trying to trick me again.
"Jiang Yi, do you really think I don't know that you took away 100,000 taels of silver?" Li Er laughed. Why? Isn't that 100,000 taels of silver enough to feed your sister-in-law for the rest of her life?”
"Your Majesty…"
"Jiang Yi!"
Jiang Yi was about to speak when Li Er interrupted him.
It was boring. Damn it. He wanted to extort more money. It seemed like there was no hope. Forget it.
This matter could be considered settled, but it was so settled that Dou Yuande wished he could smash his head against the pillar next to him. However, his so-called asking the heavens with his death did not really die in the end.
How was this possible?
He still had his wife and children at home. If he died, all hope would be gone.
Were they counting on their sons or brothers? Stop fooling around. He had the highest reputation in the Dou Family. Once Dou Yuande died, the royal family of Chang 'an City alone would destroy the Dou Family without waiting for Li Er to make a move.
Dou Yuande left Taiji Palace like a walking corpse.
The family who were waiting outside the palace gate knew what was going on when they saw him come out. Only the third son, Dou Jingyuan, was unwilling to give up. He shouted at the top of his lungs,"Father, what does His Majesty mean? Could it be that my second brother died in vain just like that? Why? I can't accept this! I can't accept this…I want to seek an explanation from His Majesty…"
"Come back! Unfilial son!"
Dou Yuande was shocked. He turned around and slapped him. He gritted his teeth and said,"From today onwards, if you dare to mention this matter again, I will kill you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the few juniors were so frightened that they trembled violently.
Only Dou Yuande's eyes were red. He turned around and looked at Taiji Palace."Jiang Yi, I swear that if I don't tear your entire family into pieces, I'll never be human again.”
The family left just like that.
As for the waiter of the tavern, he was also carried away. It was so dark that they would not be able to leave Chang 'an City if they did not leave soon.
Moreover, she hadn't eaten yet, and the acting was almost done.
However, Jiang Yi was left in the hall by Li Er. A group of old fellows were discussing the so-called ranking of aristocrats, craftsmen, and merchants.
Jiang Yi didn't participate in these topics. He stood alone in a corner, feeling anxious.
No way.
If he let the Dou family leave just like that, wouldn't he leave behind a future trouble for himself? Even if he didn't exterminate his family, Li Er would have to raid his house, right?
F * ck, in the end, nothing happened.
Jiang Yi couldn't take it anymore. He rubbed his chin with one hand and rolled his small eyes.
He had to think of a way to get rid of the Dou family. He felt disgusted and flustered no matter how he let it go. Moreover, it was not his style of doing things.
"Jiang Yi, what are you thinking about? Why didn't you answer His Majesty?"
Just as he was deep in thought, his body was pushed twice by Zhangsun Wuji. He immediately came back to his senses and looked at Li Er."Your Majesty, this commoner is pondering how to improve the Great Tang's current predicament, so I didn't hear what Your Majesty just said.”
"Oh! Then what did you think of?" Li Eryi smiled.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Yi was really a thief. Everyone could tell that this fellow had deep thoughts and was always showing off his cleverness.
But now that he needed Jiang Yi for almost everything, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, Jiang Yi had no power, so Li Shimin and the others didn't see him as a scary character.
"Your Majesty, I think that the most important thing now is to order the Ministry of Works to expand steel mining and strengthen the country. With steel, he could recruit craftsmen from all over the world, allowing the people of the world to come up with creative ideas. Anyone who had the ability could join the Ministry of Works.”
Before Jiang Yi could finish, the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, panicked.""Jiang Yi, do you think mining steel is as simple as fishing water from a well?”
