Chapter 473 Li Xiang's ambition

As soon as these words came out, Su Guangyuan and the others felt much more at ease, what happened here would soon reach the ears of those people, and they were originally worried that they would make a move on their families, so how could Li Xiang and his family have time to think of themselves?

Su Guangyuan was secretly arguing in his heart, when he saw Li Zhi looking at him: "Take that Emmeni with you, and if you leave him here, you will also be killed by their gang leader." ”

Li had three men and three horses, so he swaggered with Su Guangyuan and his party, led the few remaining horses, carried another seriously injured person, and left the city gate.

The nearly 1,000 people who looked like foreign vassals were surrounded by Li Zhi's eyes, and they all bowed their heads deeply, where did anyone dare to step forward to obstruct them.

That place belongs to the boundary of Nanba Wharf, out of the wharf station, it is the area of Guangzhou City, no one followed, Li Zhi asked Sun Simiao to guard the group to leave, but the Emmeni was left behind.

Carrying the man in his hand, he and Jiyuan flew on the horse, ran in the direction pointed out by Bei Manshan, and galloped quickly.

The Thorn Mansion is located in the southwest corner of the city, and there is a quiet and long, willow-shaded street in front of the mansion.

The mansion building is divided into east, middle and west three roads, each road is from south to north, it is composed of a strict central axis, running through the multi-entry quadrangle courtyard, and the three golden bright characters of the Assassin Mansion are hung at the door of one of the courtyards.

Before the two of them could get off the horse, two of the four soldiers in front of the door stepped forward to inquire, and when Li Zhi said his identity, the other two quickly turned around and went inside to report.

Li dismounted, not forgetting to carry the Emmeni, who had been in a state of semi-consciousness because of his wisps of energy, and had no sense of autonomy.

He just broke in, but the two sergeants were just ordinary people, and they only dared to bury their heads and help the two tie their horses, and they didn't dare to do anything to stop them.

The first-class duke from Chang'an City is a feudal boss in the local area, and he is a real important minister of the court who is several levels higher than his own assassin Shi.

When Li Zhi and the three of them walked to the white marble arched stone gate between the first and second entrances, someone hurried over, and the person in the middle should be that Li Xiang.

Others may not know it, but he knows the power of the Shang Fang Sword in Li Zhi's hand, which is a holy blessing for people in the royal family surnamed Li, and it is a symbol of supreme imperial power.

This fashionable square sword hung from his waist, and the royal golden color on it was shining in the scorching sun.

"I knew that Mr. Li was going to come, and he would not be idle on the occasion of the wedding, so he had to set up a market envoy!"

That person was Li Xiang, and the city envoy was about to set up an office in Guangzhou, which made him unhappy for a while, but fortunately, the elders of Chang'an City informed him that he was actively inserting his own people into the city envoy.

Once the operation is successful, it means that his good life is no more, and only when more of his own people join in, can Li Zhi be slowly squeezed out in the future.

It's a pity that the kind smile he pretended to be didn't get a response, but instead attracted serious words from Li Zhi's mouth: "You are Li Xiang and Li Fangduo, the assassins of Guangzhou?" ”

Taken aback, Li Xiangcai turned his attention to the person in Li Zhi's hands, and while he was horrified, he didn't forget to bow down and say yes.

"It's you Li Xiang!" Li Zhi said in his mouth, and he had already entered the Jiale Hall with everyone, that is, the place where the assassin was in charge.

Ignoring someone giving up his seat, Li Zhijing looked at Li Xiang: "Li Xiang, do you know this person?" ”

"I look at the face of a foreign vassal person, forgive the official for being clumsy, I don't know this person!" Li Xiang replied, but his eyes were clearly dodging.

"It doesn't matter if you know it or not, the key is that this person testified against you, and received a huge bribe from the leader of the Sada gang, Rahman, five thousand taels a month, sixty thousand taels a year, not including a number of treasures that came to him, what do you say?"

The expression on Li Xiang's face had already changed drastically, and as soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he shouted angrily: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect that when you first arrived, you listened to the rumors and listened to the rumors. ”

Li Zhi's expression was unwavering, "Arrest casually?" Do you know that as soon as I entered the gates, I was besieged by hundreds? Behind these people was a group of cultivators from the outer domain, and then Su Guangyuan, who came later, took a bow and shot an arrow without asking Qinghong, intending to kill me, but he did it casually? ”

The faces of everyone present changed drastically, and regardless of the crime arranged by Li Zhi, it was just that the first-class loyal king of the court was innocently intercepted and killed, which was a kind of offensive felony, and coincidentally, this person still had the Holy Gift Shang Fang Sword hanging from his waist.

Many of them knew that Li Zhiben was a cultivator, but they didn't know much about the true realm, and they could get out safely in the siege of hundreds of people, so they must not be ordinary cultivators.

Li Xiang's surprise was real, "How come?" How could such a major event occur under my jurisdiction? ”

Li Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, "The cultivators of the outer domain are members of the Sada Gang, and this person is one of them, named Aimeni, can you allow him to repeat his confession again?" ”

Without waiting for anyone to react, Li Yi patted the back of Aimeni's head, "Repeat what I said before!" ”

No, before Emmeni could say a few words, Li Xiang's expression had changed, his eyes were dark, and after a few passes, one of the last people turned around and left, nowhere to be found.

Li Zhi seemed to be ignorant of any of this, and patiently waited until Emmeni finished speaking, and then looked at everyone:

"It's not just this person who confesses and testifies, but at present, don't drive Su Guangyuan, Changshi Bianping, Sima Ortai and others have all confessed! For example, Li Xiang's tampering with the staffing of the imperial court, the monthly income of the official Yufang Taiping of the long history came from, the bad intentions of the hundred cultivators of the foreign domain who were transported to Pengtian, and Gong Chengren, who joined the army, was the largest organizer of Guangzhou City, this is only a very small part, and I still need to come out one by one? ”

In ancient times, the law punished the crime very severely, and ordinary adultery would be punished with imprisonment of less than two years, tampering with the staffing, private arming, etc., not only the crime of killing the head, but also the felony of destroying the whole family.

Li Zhi looked at Li Xiang with self-care: "Especially you, Lord Thorn Shi!" Although the assassin is only a temporary position, although he is directly appointed by the imperial court, but he is not directly in charge of taxes, you are good, but you are actually the original imperial history responsibilities in one, and some people in the imperial court even change the policy for you, so that you can borrow and borrow for the successor, and are interested in setting up such local inspectors and transforming them into permanent entrenchment, which can be used to strengthen the centralization of power, consolidate the political power, and ensure stability for your own use. Assassin Shi Banxuan, Zhou Xing Junguo, Provincial Investigation and Governance, Can You Judge the Unjust Prison, and ask the matter with six questions, but you, the Assassin, have abused his power and interfered with local government affairs, which has led to the complete loss of control of the supervision power, what do you want? ”

At this point, he had already noticed that someone had quietly led several people to come, and the people who came were all second- and third-level master realms.

Li Xiang also knew the situation of the comer, and retreated a few steps back as if he didn't know, and the condescending demeanor on his face was replaced by a rebellious look.

He sneered, "Yes, Mr. Li's online accusations are not all false, but they are only partially true, at least I have no intention of establishing an independent kingdom." As long as no one interferes with my desire to seek wealth, my loyalty to the court will not change. It's a pity that you are so well-intentioned, but you overestimate your own ability and underestimate the strength of the Guangzhou Thorn Mansion. Now that you know so many secret things, we will not be able to tolerate you, so we can only kill people and kill people. ”

But seeing that this person waved his hand, everyone retreated, leaving only the six masters, and with the number of three, Li Zhi and Jiyuan were hunted separately.

Li Zhi laughed angrily, "Li Zhishi really deserves to be a hero, he does things neatly, he is decisive and ruthless, he doesn't do it, he doesn't stop fighting, and he doesn't spin his heels!" But before I get started, may I repeat a few words? ”

"You just have to say it, in the face of dying people, I, Li, have always been generous!"

"That's good! If I guessed correctly, Lord Assassin Shi is not just a means of wanton accumulation of wealth, I am afraid that the entire city of Guangzhou has already been built like an iron wall of copper coins, otherwise those who hold the power of the military, such as Mi Yuanzhong, can control the Lingnan Province and several provinces, but how can they not help the city of Guangzhou? ”

"You guessed it again! It is true that Mi Rui has a huge military power, but it is difficult to set foot in Guangzhou City for half a step, because the boundary of Guangzhou is still inferior to the Lingnan Road directly under several provinces, but there are also tens of thousands of soldiers who are willing to die for me. Why do you say that the little Guangzhou Assassin has no military power in his hands, where did the tens of thousands of diehards come from? Interests, all driven by interests, backed by the huge Guangzhou Port, not only the Assassin Mansion family profits, but also dozens of large and small families have interests. With such a large amount of foreign trade circulating goods, is the relevant tax only with the small Thorn Mansion to extract and dedicate, or is it provided to the entire imperial court with a large consumption? Which is more important, these families know in their hearts, so the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it has become a consensus, and each family has handed over a small part of the guardian force for the assassin mansion to escort them, of course, it will be natural, right? ”

"It seems that I really guessed correctly, you are ambitious enough, but it seems that there is something wrong with your IQ!"

"Hehe, what did Mr. Li say about this?"

"Look, what if you have tens of thousands of die-hard soldiers? Can you keep your advantage all the time? Once the court is really angry, and would rather start a civil war than eradicate you, how long can you escape? ”

Li Xiang laughed genuinely this time, "Mr. Li, you said that it would be a civil war, but what if it evolves from a civil war to a foreign war, or rather, the Tang Dynasty and several countries go to war at the same time?" ”

"Lord Thorn Shi might as well say it clearly." Li Zhi's face showed a solemn expression.

Li Xiang shook his head and sneered, "Mr. Li, your status is not low, but you are still too young, embarrassing and heavy!" It's very simple, if the military comes to attack, I will kill all the foreign merchants in Guangzhou, and the civil war will not become a foreign war? ”

"This is contrary to the legacy of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, and you are a descendant of the royal family surnamed Li, how can you ignore the safety of your own imperial power?"

"Shit! If I were to be the crown prince, maybe I would have a lot of scruples, otherwise why would I think more about those wine bags and rice bags? ”

"Also, you have such ambitions, no wonder you refuse to bend to others, no wonder you are willing to act so recklessly, not afraid that the court will know!"

"Alright, you've talked enough to me, I can send you on your way!"

The smile on Li Xiang's face suddenly changed, and his face changed to a hideous face in an instant, and under the gesture of his eyes, the six master-level figures had been activated in an instant.

This move was replaced by Li Zhihaha's laughter, but it did not affect his swift action, and with a burst of dazzling white light, a majestic momentum around him turned into coercion and poured out.

Where the light flashed, it was his violent energy cyclone that burst out, accompanied by a light step without raising a trace of dust, and countless silver filaments flew out suddenly, and the target was the direction, enveloping the three of them.

The three of them immediately felt a suffocating colossal crisis coming, and hurriedly stopped moving forward, and their bodies wanted to dodge as quickly as swimming fish.
