Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 411 Asking for Imprisonment
Outside the gate of Zongzheng Temple, the footsteps became more and more dense. Hearing that Li Qinzai led his troops into the backyard, the soldiers on duty could not remain indifferent, and the soldiers patrolling the city had already been dispatched to help.

Li Qinzai and Li Yifu were completely torn apart, and the two confronted each other, swords drawn.

The eunuch who came with Li Yifu was frightened, holding a pot of poisonous wine in his hand, and stood still with a face of horror.

Li Yifu was furious. He came here at the order of Empress Wu. He only needed to give the two princesses poisoned wine and watch them die. The two princesses from the ghost gate were dragged back.

If the two princesses don't die today, how can he report to Empress Wu?

"Li Qinzai, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, I hope you think twice! The court and the public are shocked by the case of disgust. The two princesses are the masterminds. If you intervene, not only will you be questioned, but even Zu Yinggong will be punished by you. Injury." Li Yifu said with a gloomy face.

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes: "I have stepped into Zongzheng Temple today, so the two princesses are not allowed to die. For other things, you can report to the emperor and queen, and I will take care of it."

Li Yifu sneered and took a few steps back, turning his head to look at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch held a pot of poisonous wine in his hand, hesitantly looked at Li Yifu, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, the eunuch said softly, "Uh, Duke Li, what do you say about the current situation?"

Li Yifu said coldly: "You are the person next to the queen, and if the queen's instructions are not handled quickly, she may not treat this old man well, but you are a servant, hehe..."

The eunuch froze, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. He stared at Li Qinzai with a pale face, then gritted his teeth fiercely, and raised his voice, "Where is the imperial army? According to the queen's orders, I will give poisoned wine to the two princesses of Xuancheng, Yiyang!"

Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows, heh, he dared to confront him...

The two guards stepped forward arrogantly, took the poisoned wine from the eunuch and walked towards the two princesses.

As soon as he took two steps, Li Qinzai's face darkened, and he stretched out his palm and waved it in the air.

Liu Ah Si immediately shot, the scabbard slammed on the guard's wrist, the guard let out a scream, the jug in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the poisoned wine seeped into the soil.

Li Yifu was taken aback: "Li Qinzai, do you really dare to attack the Imperial Army?"

Li Qinzai sneered and said, "Didn't you see it? That's right, I really dare to do it."

Then Li Qinzai cupped his hands towards Li Yifu: "Mr. Li, you have offended me!"

Immediately, Li Qinzai yelled violently: "The Li family listens to the order and drive them all out of the backyard of Zongzheng Temple!"

"Li Qinzai, Shu Zi Er dare!"

When Li Yifu was terrified, Liu Ahsi and Buqu took up the scabbard and waved it at the head of the imperial army without thinking.

There are nearly a hundred members of the Li family, but there are only more than ten soldiers in the imperial army, they are not opponents at all.

As soon as Liu Ahsi and the other trilogy started, the forbidden army retreated steadily. In the chaos, even Li Yifu was beaten several times, screaming and fleeing.

One of the imperial guards finally couldn't take it anymore, put his right hand on his waist, and with a clang, the horizontal knife was half out of its sheath.

Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and he took a step forward and shouted loudly: "Do you dare to draw the sword? Think about it clearly, the nature of the matter will be different if you draw the sword!"

The guard who drew his sword halfway was startled, his face turned pale immediately, and the knife at his side quickly returned to its sheath, and even though more than a dozen guards were screamed and screamed by Liu Ah Si and others, they never came back. People dare to draw their swords.

Driven and beaten one-sidedly, Li Yifu and the officers and men of the Imperial Army were driven out of Zongzheng Temple by the tribes.

At this time, outside the gate of Zongzheng Temple was already full of patrolling soldiers who heard the news, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yifu and the guards retreated out of the gate in embarrassment.

Li Yifu pointed at the gate of Zongzheng Temple and cursed endlessly, but Li Qinzai blocked the door alone, facing everyone's eyes fearlessly.

"Hejian County Lord Li Yifu intends to kill the two princesses. I rescued the two princesses in a critical situation. That's how it happened. They are all gone!"

Speaking of which, Li Qinzai turned his head and said to Liu Asi: "Please move the two princesses to the British government, and wait for me to enter the palace to ask for orders."

As he spoke, Li Qinzai waved his robe sleeves and walked towards Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yifu stared at Li Qinzai's back with a livid face, gritted his old teeth, but he dared not move under the watchful eyes of Li's Buqu.

…………

Outside the gate of Taiji Palace, Li Qinzai asked the imperial guards to report to Li Zhi.

Not long after, an eunuch came out and led Li Qinzai into the palace gate.

When he came to Anren Hall, Li Qinzai removed his shoes and entered the hall to salute.

Li Zhi was reading the memoir with his head bowed. When he saw Li Qinzai coming in, he put down his pen and said with a smile: "It's rare that Jing Chu took the initiative to come into the palace to see me. I should be very clear, come and have a banquet..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinzai suddenly knelt down in front of Li Zhi, bowed his head and said, "I have committed a capital crime, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi was taken aback: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Li Qinzai said: "I am proud of being favored and arrogant. I led my troops to break into Zongzheng Temple, clashed with Li Yifu, Lord of Hejian County, and wounded several imperial troops. Your crime cannot be pardoned. Your Majesty please punish me severely."

Li Zhi was shocked: "You, you... why did you break into Zongzheng Temple?"

Li Qinzai bowed his head, but kept silent.

Li Zhi was so angry that he questioned him a few more times, but Li Qinzai still didn't speak.

After a long time, Li Zhi seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized: "The two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng have just been imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple. Jingchu, are you doing it for them?"

Only then did Li Qinzai slowly say: "The two princesses have been wronged by Zhao. Before the truth of the Yansheng case is revealed, I must protect them."

Li Zhi's expression became cold: "Someone wants to kill them?"

Li Qinzai was silent again.

Li Zhi asked again: "Did Zongzheng Temple get the confessions from the two princesses?"

Li Qinzai shook his head.

"Jingchu, can you find out the real mastermind of the Shengsheng case?"

Li Qinzai looked straight into Li Zhi's eyes and said, "The truth of the case is about to come to light. What I can assure you is that the case of Yan Sheng has nothing to do with the two princesses."

Li Zhi sighed, and said: "You...why didn't you tell me first, but you led your troops into the Zongzheng Temple impulsively, and even wounded the imperial army, Jing Chu, you did a bad job in this matter."

Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's why Chen Te came to plead guilty to His Majesty."

Li Qinzai didn't say a word about the death of the two princesses by Empress Wu.

Although he had already offended Empress Wu, Li Qinzai still hoped that there would be room for change with her. Li Zhi would definitely know about the death of the princess from other sources, and Li Qinzai would not be guilty of suing Empress Wu face to face.

In short, first correct your attitude, only admit your own mistakes, and don't need to say anything else.

Li Zhi stomped his feet angrily, and paced back and forth in the hall with only his feet on his clothes. After a long time, Li Zhi said, "The dignitaries lead private parties to attack the government office. This is unheard of since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. The courtiers will soon participate in impeachment. Jingchu, you Do you know how serious this is?"

Li Qinzai said: "My crime cannot be pardoned. I ask to be imprisoned in Dali Temple. After the punishment of the third division, I am willing to accept the punishment."
