Chapter 702 Goodbye Di Guangyuan
Chapter 702 Goodbye Di Guangyuan
In the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, Li Cunxi and Wu Sansi sat together for a rare occasion. Although neither of them spoke, there was no strong smell of tension.
Wu Sansi crossed his legs and drank a bowl of tea, making "tsk tsk tsk" sounds from time to time.
As the prince second only to Wu Chengsi among the kings of the Wu family, Wu Sansi did not have the dignity and etiquette that a prince should have.
In this regard, even Wu Yizong, the Prince of Henei, was much stronger than Wu Sansi.
Perhaps noticing Li Cunxi's strange look, Wu Sansi put down his tea bowl unhappily and glared at Li Cunxi.
"What's that look in your kid's face?"
Li Cunxi remained calm and said, "I just want to see the elegance of King Liang."
"Hmph, elegance?" Wu Sansi sneered, "You, Li Cunxi, don't mock me. I know I'm a little lacking in etiquette."
"Hehehehe."
Li Cunxi laughed dryly.
He remembered that when he first met Wu Sansi, this guy followed Wu Chengsi, walking in a crooked manner, and could not imitate Wu Chengsi's grace in any way.
All I can say is that although Wu Chengsi, who changed his surname to Mang and then back to Wu, was an exile for many years in his early years, he was still better off than most princes.
And Wu Sansi...
It's hard to say.
Wu Sansi felt the perfunctory attitude and immediately wanted to have a big quarrel with Li Cunxi for three hundred rounds.
Before he opened his mouth, Wu Sansi saw someone coming in.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, and to His Royal Highness the Prince of Liang."
The man who came was Qi Hu, one of the eight military leaders of Qianniu Guard.
"Qi Hu, what happened? Aren't you on duty at the gate today?" Li Cunxi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Your Highness, the heads of many Luzhou families are outside, hoping to see you two, and they're even willing to bribe us."
Qi Hu was quite honest. He took out his share of gold and silver and was about to hand it to Li Cunxi.
"Since it's a bribe, just take it. How much money can you get from your salary?"
Wu Sansi turned his face away, looking as if he didn't care about this little bit of silver.
"I didn't expect that someone as greedy and lustful as King Liang could actually say such words. It's really not easy."
Li Cunxi clapped his hands and turned to Qi Hu:
"Since His Royal Highness Prince Liang has said that you can take these things, then take them all and improve your family's life."
Qi Hu's face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed:
"Thank you, my Lords."
Wu Sansi hummed indifferently and said:
"You can accept these bribes, but you can't let all of them in. Just let one of them in."
When Qi Hu heard this, he immediately thought of the large amount of gifts brought by the clan leaders.
He said bravely:
"Your Majesty, the clan leaders also brought gifts. They must be extraordinary items..."
Wu Sansi was extremely happy and interrupted Qi Hu directly.
"what?"
"And each of you brought gifts?"
"That would be great. Let them bring in all their gifts. It wouldn't be a bad idea to meet them."
Li Cunxi looked up at Wu Sansi, with the corners of his mouth raised.
"Prince Liang, I leave this place to you. Remember not to go too far. These people will die in the end. If you make promises to them carelessly, I'm afraid it will end badly."
Wu Sansi's eyes were full of cunning.
He naturally knows what to do and what not to do.
He just wanted to collect a substantial bribe before these people died.
If these people were finally killed for treason, their property would be confiscated and he would not be able to get even a single ounce of silver.
"You can go in peace."
"After all, I also want to clear myself of suspicion, so I certainly won't try to trip you up from behind."
Li Cunxi nodded lightly, turned and left.
……
Half an hour later, in a small courtyard in the west of the city.
Shadow, who had been waiting here for a long time, finally saw Li Cunxi and hurriedly welcomed Li Cunxi in.
Di Guangyuan and Lu Dayou, who had been waiting for a long time, heard the noise outside and came out with smiles on their faces.
"Cunxi."
Di Guangyuan cried out with a slight sob in his voice, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Li Cunxi stepped forward and hugged Di Guangyuan, then reached out and patted Di Guangyuan on the back.
"It's okay, brother, it's okay."
"Don't worry, these big families in Luzhou will be wiped out in a few days. I will let them know the consequences of causing trouble for us."
When Di Guangyuan heard this, he burst into tears again.
He learned what happened in the court last night, and he also knew that Di Renjie had fainted.
The old man was already very old, how could he withstand such torture? The fact that he didn't die of anger on the spot showed that he had strong psychological endurance.
If it were an ordinary person, if something happened to both of his sons in a short period of time, he would definitely die of anger on the spot.
"My father is old. If anything happens to him..."
Li Cunxi patted Di Guangyuan again and said:
"There's no news from Luoyang yet, so I don't think anything serious will happen."
"Besides, don't you and I understand my uncle's character? He will definitely not be defeated by something like this."
After some consolation, Li Cunxi turned to Lu Dayou and gave him a wink.
Lu Dayou understood what he meant and quickly took the document he had written last night and handed it to Yingzi.
"Shadow Pavilion Leader, please quickly send this item back to Luoyang and present it to His Majesty."
"Revenge will be taken in these two days!"
Shadow and Zhao Hai almost made a big mistake before, now it’s time to make amends and win the emperor’s favor.
He immediately took the document, put it in his arms, bowed to everyone, and then turned and left.
at the same time.
Far away in the Di Mansion in Luoyang.
Di Renjie, who had recovered as before, sat behind the desk, looked up at the guests who came to visit him, and unconsciously revealed a look of fear.
The guest saw that Di Renjie was safe and sound, then looked at Li Yuanfang who was watching him covetously, and suddenly sneered.
"I've often heard that Judge Dee always worships Emperor Taizong. I'm also a descendant of Emperor Taizong. Why does Judge Dee look at me this way?"
The man strode in, his expression gradually turning into one of amusement.
When Di Renjie heard this, he felt a little uneasy.
He didn't expect that after finally finding a reason to take a few days off and just wanting to relax for a few days, an uninvited guest suddenly came.
And this uninvited guest is someone he can never refuse.
After a long time, Di Renjie stood up and bowed to the guest.
"Di Renjie, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Successor Prince Pu."
The visitor looked at Di Renjie intently and finally smiled.
Just then, another voice was heard outside the door.
"Master, another gentleman has come to visit."
Di Renjie had a bad feeling and quickly looked at the panicked Di Chun.
"Which lord is it?"
Di Chun shook his head like a rattle.
"I don't know, sir. The gentleman doesn't want to say."
