There was such a big commotion outside the city, of course, it had already alarmed King Li Qianli.
When Cui Geng and the others came to the door of Li Qianli's temporary mansion, he had already waited outside the door for a long time with a few staff.
Cui Geng is the king of Fuyang, Li Qianli is the king of Cheng, and their identities are almost the same, but Li Qianli's seniority is slightly higher.
The two sides bowed their hands, and Li Qianli welcomed Cui Geng into the mansion very affectionately. Don't look at Xu Jiong's passionate talk outside the city, but after seeing Li Qianli, he felt quite helpless and hid behind Cui Geng.
When they arrived in the living room of the palace, the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, and the maids who served them offered fragrant tea.
After a few words of greeting, Li Qianli looked at Xu Jiong and said, "You are Xu Jiong, Xu Yan's son, right?" I heard that you sued this king in front of the king of Fuyang? โ
Giggle~~
Xu Jiong's upper and lower teeth fought, and he forced himself to calm down: "It's ...... Precisely. The enmity of parents is not shared...... Dai Tian. Even if you are king, I ...... I will avenge my father, too! โ
Li Qianli nodded and said, "Okay, very good, this king just likes loyal ministers and filial sons like you." But...... How can you be sure that this king is your father's killer? โ
"My dad was in your house, entangled by a big snake! Also, you bite people with a turtle, and everyone knows it! โ
"Oh? Is it? Li Qianli raised his eyebrows and said, "You said that your father was entangled by the king's big snake, who saw it?" โ
"This ......"
At that time, there were quite a lot of witnesses, but who would offend the king for a small official. Xu Jiong was helpless, looked at Cui Geng and said, "Please also ask Cui Qingtian to be the villain!" โ
"Becoming a king Chitose ......"
As soon as Cui Geng got up, Li Qianli waved his hand and said: "King Fuyang doesn't have to worry, this king is not an unreasonable person, Xu Yan died in the palace, I admit it!" โ
"Do you think? So why are you ......?"
"Alas, there is no secret to this matter, I only believe that he died in my house, but I don't believe that he was killed by me."
"What the hell is going on?"
"I have a house slave named Li Fu, who seems to be loyal and honest on the surface, but secretly steals a lot of my belongings. If it was ordinary property, the key was that there was a jade Ruyi, which was a thought left to me by my mother, but he sold it. This king has been looking for a long time, but he has not found it. Finally, in a fit of rage, I found a giant turtle and bit him on his body, leaving him to cry and wail. โ
Cui Gengdao: "The legend of daring to become a king and biting people with a turtle came from this. What happened to Xu Yan's father? โ
"This king is kind-hearted, and although he bit Li Fu with a turtle, he did not kill him, but only punished him slightly. But this man had a grudge, and not only spread rumors that were unfavorable to the king, but also made a mistake when the king was entertaining, and put a huge serpent on the place where the guests must pass. You don't want to hear people say that this happened in the living room, but it wasn't like that at all. In addition, after the king found out that Xu Yan was entangled by a giant snake, he immediately ordered someone to save him, and he didn't bring the concubines to laugh at all. โ
Really? Cui Geng will be skeptical.
Li Qianli didn't wait for him to ask questions, so he patted his hands twice and said, "Someone!" Bring the Plum Hair in! โ
"Whoa!"
Someone outside the door agreed, pushed and shoved, and brought in a middle-aged man with a lot of flowers. He was of medium stature and loyal, and did not look like a bad person.
Li Qianli said: "He is Li Fu." Xu Yan, if you want to take revenge, just look for him. โ
"Xu Gongzi spares his life!" Li Fu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "At the beginning, it was the villain who was blinded by lard and wanted to ruin the reputation of King Cheng Chitose, so he put the big snake on the place where Ling Zun must pass." However, I can guarantee that I just want Ling Zun to suffer a little, and I never want to kill him! โ
Bang bang bang ~~
Li Fei knocked his head a few times, and blood was dripping on his forehead.
Li Qianli sneered: "You said that you had no intention of killing, who can prove it?" Now regret it, it's too late! โ
As he spoke, he took off the saber on his waist and handed it to Xu Jiong's hand, saying, "To relieve the hatred in your heart, draw your sword and kill the enemy!" Xu Jiong, do it! โ
"I ......"
Xu Jiong is not a resolute person, let him kill people with his own hands, he really doesn't dare. Besides, if you think about it carefully, Li Fu is manslaughter at best, and he has not committed a capital crime!
He hesitated for a long time with the sword, and finally sighed and said, "Li Fu, get up, I won't kill you." You have your own guilt. โ
Li Fu knocked his head like chicken broken rice, and said, "Thank you Gongzi Xu, thank you Gongzi Xu!" You can rest assured, the small ones will go to Luoyang County to defend themselves. No matter what crime Luoyang Ling convicts the little one, I admit it! โ
Li Qianli said to Xu Jiong again: "Anyway, Ling Zun died in the king's mansion, and the king is to blame." So be it, come on! โ
"In!"
A little guy said yes and walked in with a tray.
Li Qianli picked out the red cloth on the tray, but it was a gold ingot neatly arranged together, and there could be seventy or eighty taels.
He continued: "This money, let's mourn for Ling Zun. โ
"The villain doesn't dare to accept it."
"What are you polite to this king? Let you take it, and you will take it. In addition, the king heard that Ling Zun had always been loyal to his duties and was ready to perform the imperial court, and gave him a Confucian Lang. โ
Although Ru Linlang is only a nine-rank official, for the little official Xu Yan, it can be regarded as extremely glorious.
When it comes to filial piety, Xu Jiong didn't dare to be hypocritical, knelt on the ground, and said, "Thank you to the prince, thank you to the prince." I misunderstood you before, I thought you were my father-killing enemy, and I sued Cui Qingtian about you, I'm really ashamed to think about it! โ
"Where, it is human nature for you to avenge your father, impulsively, and misbelieve rumors."
"No...... No! Xu Jiong was deeply moved, and as soon as his brain was hot, he blurted out: "Actually, the villain also felt that his father's death was not so simple before, and he didn't want to go to Cui Qingtian to complain." The point is that someone instigated ......"
"Huh? Who is that man? โ
"It's my father's colleague Wang Yaming."
Li Qianli frowned and said, "No, among the people invited by this king that day, there was no such name at all." โ
Cui Gengdao: "The official felt that something was wrong outside the city today, as if someone deliberately provoked the conflict between the official and King Cheng, and this Wang Yaming may be the breakthrough." โ
"It is really bold to dare to calculate the king of this and the king of Fuyang at the same time!" Li Qianli slammed a few cases and said, "Come on, arrest Wang Yaming for this king!" โ
"Whoa!"
His own guards said yes and went to fetch people.
The effort was not great, and Wang Yaming was taken to the house. This is a middle-aged white fat man, who was already trembling with fright at this time, and bursts of fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
In his thoughts, Cui Gengguan has a very good reputation, and now even if he doesn't get into trouble with Li Qianli, he can keep Xu Jiong safe. Unexpectedly, it was not an hour before Xu Jiong recruited himself.
Li Qianli sneered and said, "Wang Yaming, I heard that it was you who asked Xu Jiong to sue the king?" โ
"Yes...... Oh, no, it's not...... The little one has never said half a bad word about you in front of Xu Jiong. It's all his ......" Wang Yaming became more and more fluent the more he spoke, and said: "Yes, it must be that he Xu Jiong is afraid that you will punish the crime, so he slanders the villain, which is called the cause of trouble!" โ
"Woe to the East?" A playful smile appeared on Li Qianli's face, and he said: "Is it a disaster to the east, it doesn't matter if you say it, it doesn't count if the king says it, it has to be counted!"
"Huh?"
Wang Yaming looked in the direction of Li Qianli's finger, but saw a turtle the size of a basin, sticking out his head and looking at him!
This turtle is so famous in Luoyang, Wang Yaming was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Don't mind, don't use the punishment, I'll recruit!" I'll recruit you! โ
