Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1228
On the seventh day of the prince's funeral, Li Qinzai and Pei Xingjian met several times in the East Palace.

The occasion at that time was not suitable for talking about other topics, especially topics with a color of hatred, so Li Qinzai never had the opportunity to chat with Pei Xingjian face to face.

Now that the crown prince's funeral is over, there are some things that must be said. In fact, Li Qinzai did kill the members of the Pei family in Hedong, and he personally ordered it.

Pei Juxian was shot like a hedgehog, and died in a miserable state. One can imagine how angry the Pei family must be when Pei Juxian's body was sent back to Pei's family.

Li Qinzai didn't care about Hedong Pei's reaction, but Pei Xingjian was different.

One is to respect him as a famous Tang Dynasty virtuous minister in history, and the other is to respect him and Pei Xingjian in Tuyuhun back then.

Li Qinzai had to give an explanation for killing the Pei family, otherwise he would be ignorant.

When the letter was delivered to Pei Xingjian's residence, Li Qinzai seemed to let go of his worries.

Next, let's look at Pei Xingjian's attitude, Li Qinzai will accept whether he wants to eliminate or form a grudge.

The prince's funeral is the emperor's standard. Li Zhi bestowed the title of "Honor the Emperor", and the funeral etiquette and rules are also based on the emperor's death.

Therefore, since the death of the crown prince, the sound of silk, bamboo, lute and flute can no longer be heard in the entire Chang'an city, and there are no entertainment activities in the city. When it gets dark, the city is completely dark. Looking from above, it looks like an empty city that is completely silent.

The Li family didn't have any recreational activities either. The music troupe and kabuki that the family raised were on a long vacation, and they lasted for a whole year. For some reason, Li Qinzai suddenly envied them.

He is good-looking, he can sing and dance, and he can eat and drink for free during the one-year vacation, and he can receive a monthly salary, which makes Li Qinzai feel an urge to go to sea.

When the envy turned into jealousy, Li Qinzai decided to find some work for these stunning beauties, and sent them to the backyard to pick manure and water the vegetable garden. The visual contrast between the beauty and the stench is exciting to think about.

When I was a social animal in my previous life, I never had the good thing of being paid for a year off. Just because I was exposed to the rain, I had to tear up other people's umbrellas, which was fine.

Li Qinzai was exhausted after guarding the imperial guards for seven days.

After I got home, I slept for twelve hours, and I didn't get out of bed when I woke up halfway. The maid brought the meal to the bed, and I was dazed for a while after eating, and fell back to sleep again when sleepiness hit.

Twelve hours later, Li Qinzai was finally fully charged, and he was revived on the spot full of blood and blue. In a word, it was very cool.

It had been a day and a night since the letter was delivered, but there was no response from Pei Xingjian. Li Qinzai couldn't figure out what Pei Xingjian was thinking, so he had to continue to wait in the Duke's mansion.

He secretly made a decision in his heart, wait two more days, if Pei Xingjian still doesn't respond, Li Qinzai will set off to return to Ganjing Village.

The mother-in-law and children are all in the Zhuangzi, so Li Qinzai has no time to waste time with outsiders.

Li Qinzai, who had gotten enough sleep, was bored in the mansion, so trouble came to his door.

Butler Wu hurried to the backyard, and told Li Qinzai with a panicked expression that there was trouble outside the house.

Li Qinzai was very surprised when he heard this.

How many years!

How many years have I not seen such a short-sighted person, dare to make trouble in front of the British government, is it too long?
"The trilogy on duty at the gate eats dry food? You beat them out with sticks." Li Qinzai didn't even bother to go out to look.

Butler Wu said with a look of embarrassment: "Wu Shaolang, Buqu dare not do anything, the troublemakers are not small."

"What's the matter?"

"Princess Concubine, and more than a dozen members of the Pei family from Hedong..."

Li Qinzai was startled, then frowned.

Is it finally here?
People from the Pei clan in Hedong can ignore it, but the crown princess... Li Qinzai weighed it up for himself, as if he couldn't afford to offend her.

Especially after the death of the crown prince, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty sympathized with the newly widowed crown princess. She personally came to make trouble, and Li Qinzai really couldn't beat or scold her.

As for why the Crown Princess, who had never had any contact with her before, came to make trouble, Li Qinzai knew better.

Killing the uncle of the Crown Princess is not an easy matter, even for the British government, which is a meritorious family. Others can't offend the British and Liaodong County Dukes, but the Crown Princess can.

Sighing, what should be faced will eventually be faced, and this shit should be resolved.

So Li Qinzai straightened his clothes and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Outside the Duke's mansion, the members of the Li family silently blocked the gate of the mansion. Outside the gate was a young woman in plain white clothes, surrounded by more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly men.

The woman's pretty face was frosty, and she stared at the lintel of the British mansion without saying a word, while a dozen men pointed at the closed mansion door and cursed. The Li family members seemed to know the identities of this group of people, but they just blocked the door and refused to let them in. They broke in, and faced with their yelling, the followers chose to endure in silence.

This is what Li Qinzai saw when he walked out of the mansion.

It was a mess outside the gate, surrounded by many spectators not far away, perhaps there was a furtive surveillance censor inside, this kind of people were like mice, they liked to hide among the common people, snooping on the wind and public opinion secretly. Hate.

Seeing Li Qinzai leaving the house, the rioting crowd suddenly fell silent, and then an old man pointed at him and shouted: "He is Li Qinzai, and he ordered Pei Juxian to be shot! Pity my Juxian boy, he died so badly! "

After scolding and crying again, the Pei clan nearby were filled with righteous indignation and quickly surrounded him. They were so angry that they were about to attack Li Qinzai.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Jiabu immediately moved across and stood in front of Li Qinzai.

Li Qinzai waved his hands and said, "Get out of the way."

After looking at each other in dismay, the Li family moved away hesitantly.

Li Qinzai immediately grinned at the members of the Pei family: "Leave today's talk here, and I'll stand here. Anyone who dares to touch a hair on me, I will kill him."

The members of the Pei clan who were about to rush forward to beat him froze for a moment, their outstretched fists were only half a foot away from Li Qinzai's face, but as if they had been immobilized, their fists froze in mid-air.

After hearing what happened to Pei Juxian before his death, no one in the Pei family dared to doubt the authenticity of Li Qinzai's words.

He said that if you want people's lives, you will definitely kill people. This is the sincerity of killing people.

The members of the Pei clan were angry but silent. Li Qinzai slowly looked around the crowd. Except for the crown princess, the other faces were relatively unfamiliar, and they should have never met each other.

The strange thing is that Pei Xingjian is not among them.

With Pei Xingjian away, Li Qinzai felt much more relaxed. If it really came to the point of doing something, he would have no scruples.

Stalemate, confrontation, time slowly passed.

After a long time, Princess Pei finally spoke, her voice was extremely indifferent.

"Li Qinzai."

Li Qinzai hesitated for a moment, but still bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess stared at his face and said coldly: "Outside the gate of the East Palace, you ordered to shoot and kill my uncle Pei Juxian. You must give an explanation for this matter."

Li Qinzai said without hesitation: "Pei Juxian tried to break into the palace with bad intentions. The minister is ordered to guard the palace. Anyone who dares to cross the thunder pool will be killed without mercy."

"Pei Juxian didn't listen to the warning, and still committed suicide. I don't need to give an explanation, he deserves to die."
