Taiji Palace, Yin Yang Hall.
Li Shi Min was so furious that he punched the table.
"Bastard, do you understand?"
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still petty officials who have no regard for the law and prey on the people.”
"Hateful, hateful!"
"Go and call Pei Ji over. Zhen wants to ask him what he does as a prime minister!”
Seeing that the Emperor was furious, the trusted eunuch did not dare to dissuade him. He responded and left the palace in a panic.
On the other side of the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian's gaze was gloomy as he threw the letter in his hand into the brazier.
"Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling?"
"Good, good, good. Imperial Father's left and right arms are all standing on Li Qin's side. It seems that he is indeed my cheap Imperial Brother.”
This good show was to confirm Li Qin's identity, and now Li Chengqian had obtained an affirmative answer.
After this ordeal, presumably, Imperial Father would definitely strengthen the protection of Li Qin.
Therefore, he did not plan to make a move for the time being to prevent his father from noticing the mistake. At that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Chang 'an County government office.
The two people who were tied up were none other than the two sons of Madam Qian who had left earlier.
Following that, two burly waiters walked out from the crowd. They were the helpers Li Qin had just hired today.
However, he looked miserable and there were many wounds on his body. It seemed that he had been through a fight.
After Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Li Qin greeted him, everyone in the court gasped.
Two of the usually high and mighty big shots had actually come today!
Fang Xuanling glanced at the two waiters, and they began to speak in a low and muffled voice.
It turned out that these two sons of Madam Qian did not go to court, but returned to Li Qin's residence, wanting to poison the brewed wine.
As a result, he sneakily entered the backyard and was discovered by the two burly waiters.
Coincidentally, Fang Xuanling arrived with his subordinates, and after a fierce battle, they managed to take down the two people.
The shop assistant smiled and said," Young Master Li is a good man. We'll only work for five days. Young Master Li will give us 500 wen each."”
"These two birdmen want to harm Young Master Li, we will never agree.”
As he spoke, he walked to the side of the wine jar and opened the lid. In an instant, a unique wine fragrance filled the entire court.
All the wine lovers in the hall swallowed their saliva in unison. This wine fragrance was too rich!
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, in particular, would have rushed down to drink if not for their status.
"Gulp ~"
The waiter took out a water ladle and looked around."You all said that Andu Wine House's wine is poisonous, then we'll prove it to you.”
"I don't know any poison testing methods, so I'll drink it in front of you to see if it's poisonous.”
After saying that, the silly waiter scooped a large ladle of wine, opened his mouth, and drank the full amount of wine in one gulp.
"Hiss ~" The waiter's face flushed red. Damn it, why is Young Master Li's wine so spicy?
He wanted to vomit, but he was afraid that he would be caught if he vomited, so he could only endure it.
After a while, the waiter wiped his mouth with his sleeve and exhaled." Good wine!”
"Didn't you say that the wine in our winery is poisonous?”
"This is the wine I just brewed. Lord Fang personally saw us transport it!”
"Do you think it's poisonous?"
"Burp ~"
Then, his footsteps started to sway.
Eh, how did Young Master Li become two?
Li Qin looked at the bold man and felt even more touched.
They were the most simple people, using their own strength to earn money to support their families.
However, what touched Li Qin the most was…
In the end, they had no obligation to testify for him.
Hence, he hurriedly asked another waiter to help the drunk person sit down.
Madam Qian's face was ashen. No matter how much she calculated, she did not expect Li Qin to have two extra cooks.
He didn't expect Fang Xuanling to bring his men to the Li Family.
In the end, he was still a step behind.
Otherwise, if the poison was successful and the wine was transported to the hall to be tested in front of so many people, Li Qin would definitely be sentenced to death.
Madam Qian lowered her head, her thoughts running. In this situation, it was impossible to convict Li Qin.
He could only think of a way to protect himself.
However, once this dead end was broken, it would be extremely difficult for the mastermind to escape.
Fang Xuanling didn't say anything and slowly walked to Cui Wannian's side. A bailiff brought a chair over and sat down.
Du Ruhui cupped his hands.”
Fang Xuanling smiled and nodded." Lord Du, you've worked hard."”
Cui Wannian, who was in the middle, was sweating profusely. He didn't know whether to sit or not.
Damn it, these two lords were clearly here to support Li Qin.
Fang Xuanling leaned back in his chair and said calmly,"Lord Cui, did you see that? Is there a problem with this wine?"
Cui Wannian laughed dryly and said," I saw it, I saw it. There's nothing wrong with Young Master Li's wine."”
"Sir, you said you have evidence just now. May I ask where it is?" Du Ruhui asked with a smile.”
Cui Wannian felt that something was wrong and smiled apologetically,""The evidence isn't sufficient to prove that Qian Li 'an drank Li Qin's wine and died.”
If he said this, he would definitely offend the Duke of Lu.
But he had to say this.
What a joke. Duke Lu's status was high, but the two beside him were on the same level as Duke Lu.
He could still distinguish between one and two.
Du Ruhui frowned slightly and sneered,""Since the evidence is not sufficient, I wonder why you want to punish him?”
Du Ruhui's eyes turned cold. Cui Wannian broke out in a cold sweat and stuttered.
"This…this…"
"I was reckless, please forgive me.”
Du Ruhui snorted coldly and said with a straight face,"Do you know what crime you have committed by abusing your authority?”
Cui Wannian was so frightened by this shout that his entire body trembled. His mouth was half open and his face was pale.
At this moment, Fang Xuanling interrupted with a smile,""Lord Du, why are you doing this? Lord Cui is just performing his duties.”
Before Cui Wannian could relax, he heard Lord Fang change the topic,""Lord Cui, there is one thing I don't understand. Why do you think these two went to the Li family's courtyard to poison?”
Cui Wannian wanted to die. Why?
Don't you want me to convict the Qian Corporation?
"Then I'll send someone to jail the Qian family?" Cui Wannian asked carefully.”
Du Ruhui glared at Cui Wannian and his heart tightened.
"Lord Cui," Fang Xuanling said with a smile,"our government has always handled cases impartially."”
"We still have to interrogate him before deciding."
Li Qin's face was full of black lines. As expected of an old fox in the officialdom.
One played the good cop, the other played the bad cop, scaring Lord Cui until he was stunned.
This was because Cui Wannian had something up his sleeve.
In addition, these two people held important positions.
That was why Cui Wannian panicked.
"You're right, sir." Cui Wannian agreed.”
"Since you're right, let's use torture then," Du Ruhui snorted coldly.”
"Just now, Lord Du said that he would give Young Master Li forty strokes of the cane?”
"Then why don't we follow this standard? The three of them from the Qian family will each receive forty strokes!”
Hearing this, Madam Qian's expression was gloomy as she secretly measured the distance between her and Li Qin.
A cold light flashed from a distance of five feet.
Madam Qian took out the dagger in her bosom and went straight for Li Qin's heart.
Madam Qian was not the real Madam Qian. She and those two people were originally sacrificial warriors raised by the Lu Public House.
It was no wonder why so many people were needed to subdue the two of them in the Li family's courtyard.
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling's eyes widened in anger. The surrounding bailiffs were far away and couldn't stop them in time.
"It's dangerous!"
Fang Yaoyi was the closest to him, she let out a cry of surprise and subconsciously pounced towards Li Qin.
"Be careful!"
