Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 420

This is the end of the disgusting case, this is Li Zhi's decision.

Saying it in front of Empress Wu is an implied warning.The case is over, don't use this case as an excuse to clean the palace.

Empress Wu knew better than Li Zhi whether the innocent palace people who were implicated were guilty or not. Most of these palace people who died were Empress Wu who took the opportunity to clean up the palace under the pretext of being disgusted with the victory case.

After all, it was only a few short years since Queen Concubine Xiao Shu was hanged to death. Although the enemy was dead, their party members were still there. Empress Wu had gradually secured her position as queen in the past two years, and she had long planned to clear out the old party members in the palace. The current disgusting case just gave her a reason to kill.

Li Zhi knew it well, but more and more palace people were implicated by Empress Wu, and Li Zhi couldn't stand it anymore.

In the history books a few years later, how will this case of disgusting victory be evaluated?
Li Zhi needs the history books to praise him as a "benevolent king", so this endless slander must be stopped. The murderer is Empress Wu, but the historian will only put the hat of inhumanity on his head. Who told you to marry this Worried mother-in-law.

Empress Wu's face turned pale, she understood Li Zhi's warning.

Biting her lower lip, Empress Wu lowered her head and said, "Yes, the case of Yan Sheng has been closed."

The husband and wife were fighting each other, but Li Xian on the side didn't notice it, and said in a daze: "Father, when will Mr. Li be released?"

Li Zhi said unhappily: "After tomorrow's court meeting, they will be released."

Li Xian said happily: "In this way, the great achievement of saving Mr. Li from the prison is received by one person."

Li Zhi sighed.

I heard that Li Qinzai whipped his disciples frequently, and the two princes were no exception, often making them roll and crawl all over the floor. Why did the more he whipped his disciples, the more filial they became?
Look at this wicked boy's beaming expression of being rewarded for his meritorious service. I'm afraid he wouldn't be so active in rescuing his father even if he was imprisoned?

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more angry he became. This evil boy was not raised, but he always felt that he was about to become someone else's child.

From now on, Li Zhi couldn't bear to ask him who he would save first if his father and husband fell into the water.

Li Zhi was afraid that the answer he got would burst his blood vessels.

Or find a cesspool and try swimming, my children and grandchildren are unreliable, I must learn to save myself.

Seeing Nie Zi's triumphant and high-spirited look, Li Zhi was furious, but he still kept smiling and said, "Xian'er, you can get out."

…………

Cui Jie took Qiao'er back to the British government in a hurry, and went straight to the backyard. After seeing Li Ji, she didn't speak, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she cried until the pear blossoms rained.

Seeing that Cui Jie was crying, Qiao'er, who looked confused, grinned and cried out.

One big and one small cried sadly, Li Ji, even the battle-hardened Li Ji, couldn't help but panic at this moment, and hurriedly comforted him.

As early as when Li Qinzai was first imprisoned, Li Ji heard about the whole story.

Li Qinzai asked himself to be imprisoned at all, in order to avoid the limelight. Tired of the danger of winning the case, Li Qinzai resolutely withdrew and went to prison after catching the mastermind in the layout.

I have to say, this kid really has some skills, just relying on his ability to smell danger beforehand, he can't suffer for the rest of his life.

After seeing the whole incident clearly, Li Ji never made a move from beginning to end, but he still admired Li Qinzai in his heart.

However, Li Qinzai's imprisonment still frightened some people who did not know the truth, including his wife and children.

Seeing Cui Jie crying sadly, Li Ji had no choice but to explain what happened in Chang'an City recently, and why Li Qinzai chose to go to prison, etc. in detail.

Cui Jie stopped crying, and looked at Li Ji suspiciously, she was trying to determine whether Li Ji was lying to her.

Qiao'er also stopped crying, and let Li Ji say that his father was still in prison, so even the five-year-old Qiao'er doubted what his great-grandfather said.

Li Ji explained for a long time, but the elder and younger were still silent, even doubting him, Li Ji couldn't help but feel deeply frustrated.

If this was in the tent of the commander who led the army, the two of them would have been dragged out to fight with military sticks. They dared to doubt the commander of the first army, and they didn't ask about the old man's past history of fighting for many years.

"If the great-grandfather swears, Qiao'er will believe you." Qiao'er crisply said.

Cui Jie's expression widened, and she glanced at Qiao'er in relief. Tong Yan Wuji is really the greatest virtue in human nature, and he said what Cui Jie dared not say.

Li Ji's old face darkened, but looking at his great-grandson's innocence, Li Ji still smiled wryly and said: "Okay, great-grandfather swore that my father will be released from prison tomorrow and come back safely, if great-grandfather breaks his promise, he will teach great-grandfather to walk and wrestle and choke on food. "

Qiao'er pursed her lips, turned her head to look at Cui Jie: "Auntie, can you believe the great-grandfather's oath?"

The corner of Cui Jie's mouth curled up, she hurriedly lowered her head, and said, "Can you believe...?"

"But the oaths made by my great-grandfather were all light and light, not heavy at all. My father's oaths were really cruel. There was a thunderstorm, the ancestral grave was stolen, and the whole family died..."

Li Ji felt dizzy for a while, almost lost his breath, and then said with glaring eyes, "How dare that damn beast swear like that? Old man..."

Qiao'er looked at him innocently, Li Ji's anger dissipated without a trace, he knelt down and said softly: "Forget it, I swear again, if the great-grandfather lied to you, I will discipline your father to fight against you..."

…………

When Cui Jie and Qiao'er left the backyard, the anxious and worried expressions on their faces had disappeared. Although they were still a little worried that Li Qinzai would not be able to eat or sleep well in the prison, at least there was no need to worry about his safety.

Back in the front yard, Cui Jie ordered the housekeeper to prepare some exquisite food and drink, as well as clean bedding and books. Go to Dali Temple.

The young lady of the Li family and Mr. Xiao Lang arrived in front of the gate of Dali Temple. Cui Jie had just got off the carriage and was about to negotiate with the guards on duty to visit Li Qinzai when a carriage suddenly stopped in front of her.

The princess of Jinxiang County Yingying got out of the carriage with the help of her maid, and Cui Jie looked at her in astonishment.

Cui Jie looked straight at the county head of Jinxiang who had just got off the carriage. Jinxiang was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized it, the hair on his back stood on end, and his pretty face turned pale with fright.

A sense of shame of being caught on the spot by the original partner hits my heart instantly, and the original partner is also my best friend...

Confused in his mind, Jin Xiang subconsciously turned around, and regardless of his manners, he struggled to climb onto the carriage. The maid next to him didn't know why, but hurried forward to help support Jin Xiang's fragrant buttocks and push hard.

Cui Jie shouted in astonishment: "County head? Rui'er! Is that you?"

Without turning his head, Jin Xiang said, "It's not me! You've got the wrong person!"

Cui Jie was confused, but still pursued persistently, grabbed Jinxiang's slender calf, and dragged down the county magistrate of Jinxiang who had almost climbed into the carriage.

"Why are you running? You don't know me?" Cui Jie said angrily.

Jin Xiang sighed melancholy, he almost ran successfully just now...

"Rui'er, what are you doing in Dali Temple?" Cui Jie asked curiously.
