Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 409 Poke a hole in the sky
Empress Wu was still standing in the garden, smelling the refreshing fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and took a deep breath.

Li Qinzai had already left the Tai Chi Palace, but the disappointment on Empress Wu's face became more and more intense.

She admired Li Qinzai very much, he was a national treasure who could change the Tang Dynasty, and she had always been looking forward to Li Qinzai doing something for the Tang Dynasty.

Those new gadgets that seem to come out unintentionally, the gunpowder that has the power to destroy the world, the cement that can make cities and roads impregnable, and even the cooking dishes he made by himself are also the reasons why she admires him.

There are so many places worthy of her admiration, she really doesn't want to see such an important person get involved in the muddy waters of the palace, she really doesn't want to.

Li Qinzai should be teaching and educating people in the school of Ganjingzhuang, should be living his small life in the other courtyard of Li's family, should be chatting and laughing with the emperor, playing cheap tricks, and being slick is harmless.

Chaotang's muddy water really shouldn't get involved.

From the bottom of her heart, Empress Wu did not want to have an enemy with Li Qinzai. If such a person became her enemy, it would be a huge loss to her.

However, he just stepped into this muddy water and couldn't get out.

Behind him, a court lady carefully reported that Li Yifu, Duke of Hejian County, asked to see him.

Not long after, Li Yifu came to salute in front of Empress Wu.

To Li Yifu, Empress Wu had no extra greetings or nonsense.

"Your Majesty ordered Li Qinzai to review the case of arresting Yan Sheng, and the two princesses may overturn the case." Empress Wu said coldly.

Li Yifu didn't waste any extra nonsense, he bowed his body and said, "The empress means..."

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Empress Wu's face: "Close the case immediately before Li Qinzai overturns the case. Nights are full of dreams."

Li Yifu bowed: "Yes, I will do it right away."

…………

Li Qinzai left the palace and arrived in front of his new house. Just as he was about to get off the carriage, he stopped suddenly, retracted one leg, and told the coachman to go to the Duke's mansion.

When the carriage arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai entered the door and went straight to the backyard.

Li Ji was squatting in the backyard to loosen the soil, when Li Qinzai stepped forward in two or three steps, and suddenly began to cry miserably.

"Grandpa, someone is bullying grandson, help grandson beat her up!"

Li Ji turned around and glanced at him, and said contemptuously: "How old is he, he is ashamed to go home and complain to his elders when he is bullied outside, the more he lives, the more he goes back."

Li Qinzai cried: "This man is too powerful, my grandson can't afford to offend him, but my grandson can't swallow this breath..."

Li Ji hummed: "Is there anyone in this world that my British government can't afford?"

Li Qinzai blurted out praise: "Grandpa is domineering!"

Immediately, Li Qinzai wept bitterly, "Our British government really can't afford this man."

Li Ji raised his eyebrows: "Who?"

Li Qinzai stopped crying immediately, leaned close to Li Ji's ear and whispered: "Queen..."

Li Ji's eyelids jumped suddenly.

"Naughty beast, have you offended the queen?" Li Ji's face darkened.

Li Qinzai saw that Li Ji's expression was not right, he hurriedly returned to normal, and forced a smile: "No, haha, how could it be possible, my grandson is just joking with you."

Li Ji stared at his face, and said slowly: "The old man has heard about the Yan Sheng case. Qin Zai, this case is very dangerous, you should think twice, and don't get yourself into trouble."

"Grandpa, don't worry, grandson is a calm person, and he will not be impulsive when encountering anything." Li Qinzai said seriously.

Li Ji nodded, and said: "This case is very involved. Your Majesty ordered you to review this case. You must have doubts about the result of the Dali Temple's verdict. If you take on this important task, you must pay attention to your Majesty and Queen's thoughts, and don't offend because of it." If you choose any party, you can control it by yourself."

Li Qinzai said respectfully, "Yes."

Just as he was talking, Wu Tong, the housekeeper, hurried over and said: "Fifth Young Master, the fourth prince is begging to see him. It seems that something serious has happened. The fourth prince is kneeling in the front yard and crying."

Li Qinzai was stunned, and hurriedly walked to the front hall.

In the flower garden in the backyard, Li Ji frowned and murmured, "This is a dead move..."

The emperor ordered Li Qinzai to re-examine the case of Yansheng, obviously he did not want the two biological daughters to be the masterminds, but the queen was determined to make the case an iron case, obviously she intended to kill the two princesses.

The empress and empress had different opinions, and there was no conflict on the surface between the husband and wife, but all the conflicts were transferred to Li Qinzai.

What can Li Qinzai do?
…………

In the front yard of the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai rushed over. Li Sujie, who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, couldn't help crying and knocked his head heavily on the ground when he saw Li Qinzai.

"Please sir help!"

Li Qinzai said in a deep voice, "Get up first, and tell me what's going on."

Li Sujie wept and said: "Just now I heard that Li Yifu, Lord of Hejian County, led several eunuchs from the palace into Zongzheng Temple, and wanted to give death to the mastermind of the case, sir, the lives of my disciple's two elder sisters are at stake! "

Li Qinzai's expression darkened immediately: "Li Yifu? What has he to do with this case? What right does he have to kill the two princesses?"

Li Sujie cried: "It is said that he was ordered by the queen."

Li Qinzai's heart skipped a beat, and his face became more and more gloomy.

He had just come out of the Tai Chi Palace and had a very unpleasant quarrel with Empress Wu.Unexpectedly, she acted so quickly, and immediately decided to execute the two princesses. This was to settle the case before he overturned the case and completely eradicate it.

Li Sujie knelt in front of him and cried loudly: "Sir, after the death of the concubine, the disciple only has two older sisters in this world. If they are given to death, what face does the disciple have to live alone in the world."

Li Qinzai knelt down, stared into his eyes, and said slowly: "Su Jie, I said that I want to save the lives of the two princesses. If I can't keep my promise, I won't have the face to ask you to call me Mr."

Li Sujie cried for a while, and said: "Sir, the emperor's order to kill the two sisters comes from Tai Chi Palace..."

Li Qinzai said coldly: "Even if it comes from Lingxiao Palace, I will beat this reckless life back!"

Picking up Li Sujie from the ground, Li Qinzai said, "Go, follow me to Zongzheng Temple!"

Li Sujie wiped away his tears, the two of them were walking when they suddenly heard an old voice behind them saying: "Qin Zai, bring the first part."

Li Qinzai was taken aback, then turned his head to look, and saw Li Jizheng straightened up and looked at him.

Li Ji's gaze was as calm as a lake. The killing and bloodshed of the past seemed to have been washed away by the years, but a heroic spirit that had not yet been washed away could be vaguely seen in the calm.

"Grandpa..." Li Qinzai showed hesitation. He knew that if he went out today, he would be against Empress Wu. He really didn't want to involve the British government.

Li Ji smiled and said: "Take the next part. Those who come from the British government don't have to be afraid of anyone or anything. Even though I am old, I can afford it."

Li Qinzai hesitated, but under the screen outside the courtyard, Liu Asi and a group of trilogy strode up to him, bowed together and said, "Fifth Shaolang, Li's trilogy is on standby."

Li Qinzai gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Okay! Let me poke a hole in the sky today!"
