"I don't think there's anything to settle between us.”Duan Lun forced himself to remain calm.
"Oh? Was that so? Then what about the burning of Cailing Lane? Yang Siqi's leg was broken. What happened?”
"Of course it was an accident. If King Qi were to vent his anger on me because of this matter, that would be too unreasonable! You caused a ruckus in the Ministry of Works today, I will definitely impeach you! If a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished with the common people. King Qi, just wait for His Majesty's punishment!”
"Oh? Accident? That might not be the case! I've already sent someone to find Yang Siqi. When he arrives, what else do you have to say? As for now…Men!"
"Yes!"
"Tie this fellow up for this king first!”
"Here!"
Zan Junmo and Liang Mengbiao didn't care about Duan Lun's identity as the Minister of Works. In their minds, as long as Li You gave the order, they could kill even the heavens. What was the big deal about tying Duan Lun up?
In the blink of an eye, Duan Lun was tied up.
Li Gang had wanted to speak up for Duan Lun, but when he saw how overbearing Li You was, he quickly moved to a corner and tried his best not to attract Li You's attention. He didn't want to lose to a dead friend!
Duan Lun was furious.
"Why did you tie me up? Why did you tie me up?"
"I am the Minister of Works and the Duke of Xinyang County.”
"My wife is Princess Gaomi, your aunt. Little Li You, in terms of seniority, you have to call me uncle!”
"Li You, Li You, you won't get what you deserve for treating me like this!”
……
Li You ignored him. He sat in front of a table and closed his eyes to rest, waiting for Yang Siqi to arrive.
After a while, a minor colonel walked in and bowed slightly, saying,"King Qi Qiansui, Yang Siqi has arrived.”
"Bring him in. As long as he asked, he would know how his leg was broken.”
" Uh..." The minor looked troubled."Yang Siqi's injuries are too serious and he's already unconscious. I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything out of him. I took the initiative to bring his family over.”
"Hmm? She fainted?" Li You was slightly stunned and said,"Bring them all."”
"Yes."
It didn't take long before two soldiers carried a door in. The door was covered with bedding. A middle-aged man was lying on it. His face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut. His thighs were wrapped in layers of white cloth.
It seemed that this person was Yang Siqi.
Beside him was a middle-aged woman and a seven or eight-year-old boy. The woman and child's eyes were red and swollen as they sobbed slightly.
"I, Yang Liushi, pay my respects to King Qi Qiansui! King Qi lived a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!”
The woman seemed to have received instructions. As soon as she entered the door, she quickly brought the child to greet Li You.
"No need for formalities. Rise." "Yang Liushi," Li Youwen said,"I'm asking you." How did Yang Siqi's leg break?”
"This…I don't know."
"Hmm? You don't know?" Li You frowned.
"I really don't know." "Yesterday, my husband came back and happily told me that the King of Qi had sent a letter to the Ministry of Works to recruit him to serve by his side." Yang Liushi said bitterly. King Qi had obtained the recognition of the Clear Sable Divine Sword and was blessed by the heavens. If King Qi thinks highly of me, I'll be rich in the future. It's not impossible for me and my mother to become officials.”
"And then?"
"This concubine is also very happy. She cooked a few dishes for her husband and boiled a pot of wine, preparing to accompany her husband for a few drinks. However, before she could eat, someone came and called her husband away. When he comes back…"
At this point, the woman was already sobbing softly."My husband's leg is already broken. The person who carried him back said that her husband had accidentally fallen. After they left, I asked my husband what had happened. He just shook his head and refused to tell me the details. He only said that it was a pity that his leg was broken and he could not serve King Qi. Originally, I thought that my husband only had a broken leg and would recover after a period of time. Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, her husband had a high fever and was now unconscious. He…he's leaving us behind! How are we going to live?"
In the end, Yang Liushi was already wailing. When she cried, the little boy also started crying, and the room was filled with sorrowful sounds.
Duan Lun was happy. Listen! Duan Lun didn't even mention how she broke her leg. Now, he was unconscious, and the dead could not testify. King Qi, what right do you have to punish the officials? Why aren't you letting me go and kowtowing to me as an apology? Right, isn't your fiancée quite rich? Pay me another million strings of money. If I am in a good mood, I might be able to put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty and be lenient…"
In Duan Lun's mind, Yang Siqi was in a good coma!
He fainted. The dead could not testify. Li You had no other choice but to beg for mercy and be ruthlessly blackmailed.
However, before he could finish his sentence-
Pa!
A crisp sound rang out!
Duan Lun's face was slapped hard.
His right cheek instantly turned red and swollen, and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his mouth.
"What? You hit me? You dare to hit me?" Duan Lun was confused as if he was in a dream.
Li You sneered,"Hitting you? Hitting you is a light punishment!" Duan, do you really think that Yang Siqi will be in a coma forever? Let me tell you, daydreaming! As long as this king uses some tricks, he will immediately wake up!”
"How is this possible?"
Not to mention Duan Lun, even Yang Liushi exclaimed!
It wasn't that she didn't wish for her husband to be safe, but several famous doctors in the capital had already seen him. They all shook their heads and asked him to prepare for his funeral. This kind of high fever after being injured was simply impossible to save.
However, what did Li You just say?
As long as he used some tricks, Yang Siqi would immediately wake up?
How was this possible?
If this was true, then what were those famous doctors in Beijing? A good-for-nothing?
Duan Lun didn't believe it either!
"Li You, Li You, should I say that you're just being one-sided or that you've gone crazy?" he laughed. Although I only know a little about the art of Qihuang, I also know that Yang Siqi's condition is only one breath more than a dead person. You want him to wake up? It's simply daydreaming!”
"Noisy!" Li You was too lazy to talk nonsense with Duan Lun. He slapped him again impatiently and said,""Men! Seal this guy's mouth!"
"Yes, sir!" Liang Mengbiao took off his smelly socks and stuffed them into Duan Lun's mouth.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
A strong stench filled Duan Lun's nostrils.
What was worse than the stench was the humiliation of stuffing his mouth with smelly socks!
Even if he killed Liang Mengbiao or did something to Li You later, stuffing stinky socks into his mouth would be a laughing stock for the rest of his life!
He was already roaring in his heart, Li You brat, just you wait! This wasn't over! This official and you are irreconcilable! When you can't save Yang Siqi, I'll settle the score with you! You underestimate the strength of the great clans. If we join forces, even Li Lao Er won't be able to protect you!
