Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 866 The Dust Settles
Li Qinzai has many identities. He is a county lord, an important official of Li Zhi, a son, a husband, and a father, but he also has another important identity, that is, a teacher.

In Li Qinzai's eyes, all the titles and official positions in the world are actually just icing on the cake, and sometimes the titles and official positions will bring troubles to his life.

I was so tired from work in my previous life, and I planned to lie down completely in this life, but human beings are social animals after all, how could it be possible to really lie down and not care about world affairs?

Those so-called hermits who have retired to the mountains and forests may have to go to the market to buy vegetables with their vegetable baskets every morning.

If a person must have a profession in this world, Li Qinzai has no aversion to the profession of teacher.

There were not so many intrigues in the school, and although the little bastards were a little stupid, they were still very cute occasionally, and Li Qinzai was the only king in the school, and he didn't need to forcefully put on a smiling face to please anyone.

This may be the only profession that Li Qinzai does not dislike and does not feel tired.

Therefore, Li Qinzai was very happy to be able to do something for his students. A genius like Princess Xuancheng suddenly appeared among his disciples. In fact, Li Qinzai also wanted to know how great her future achievements would be and how far she could go. .

The monarch and ministers had finished what they should have said, and Li Qinzai didn't ask a single word that he shouldn't have said.

For example, Li Qinzai didn't want to ask how Li Zhi would deal with Li Youdao and the Zhaojun Li family. He knew that Li Youdao would not survive, and Li Zhi was determined to use him as an example to scare other aristocratic families.

…………

Tang Ji was silent for a moment, and said: "This is what the Li County Marquis wants villains to do..."

After entering the door, I returned to my yard, and found a person standing quietly in the yard.

Li Qinzai's eyes turned hot, as if he had seen himself in his previous life. He is not a master at all, he is clearly a social animal.

Tang Ji's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "In the early years before the home was broken, the villain learned a little from a wandering Taoist priest. After the home was broken, the villain often hid in the wild mountains and forests to avoid being hunted down. There are so many beasts, and the villain has to fight with the beasts in order to survive."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I'm not ashamed at all. If I had this skill, I would wake up laughing in my dreams. I can't see the light. As long as I can defeat the enemy, I will win. The winner is the king, understand?"

The amazing thing is that before the intention to reprimand the Li family of Zhaojun came out of Chang'an, the Li family of Zhaojun had already taken action.

"I always think that only those who have eaten together are considered friends, and we can be friends."

"Skills were probably developed during that period of time. You couldn't fight wild beasts face to face, you could only ambush them in secret. Over time, you have developed this sneaky and shady martial art. I'm ashamed."

After bidding farewell to Li Zhi, Li Qinzai went back to the Duke's mansion after leaving the palace.

Li Zhengzao, the owner of Nanzu's first family, knelt in front of the Taiji Palace to plead guilty. Li Zhengzao kowtowed to the palace gate, his head was bleeding, and he wept for a long time on the trombone.

The emperor decreed that Li Youdao should be dismissed from his position as a young minister, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice should conduct a strict trial. Li Qinzai participated in Li Youdao's four crimes at the court meeting, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice must confirm the evidence.

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I heard from Old Wei that your skills belong to the art of an assassin, who did you learn from?"

It doesn't matter, the future is long, as long as Li Zhi is still alive, the monarch and his ministers will always have a chance to suppress the family.

Tang Ji clasped his fists and saluted him: "I will return at noon."

Tang Ji lowered his head and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, thanks to the Marquis of Li County."

Li Qinzai happily hooked Tang Ji's shoulders and walked into the room, and said with a smile, "You used to be the son of an official, we have a common language, let's go, let's have a few drinks together, and exchange the valuable experience of doing evil in the past..."

Tang Ji bowed his head and said: "Things are different, people are different, ups and downs, after the family is broken, I have sworn not to drink."

Tang Ji hurriedly resumed his posture, and even tiptoed one foot quietly to raise his shoulders a little higher, trying to make Li Qinzai feel comfortable when taking pictures.

"Of course it's a different table. If you don't drink, sit at the table for the children."

Putting his hand on his shoulder, Li Qinzai patted him vigorously, and said with a smile, "You did a good job this time. If there is such a thing in the future, I will trust you."

Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes, then laughed: "Tang Ji, when did you come back?"

An hour later, the palace gate opened, and the emperor summoned Li Zhengzao.

Not only that, the decree also ordered the closure of Li Youdao's mansion, and all those who interfered in the mansion were sent to prison for interrogation. At the same time, a decree was issued to severely reprimand the Li family of Zhaojun, accusing the Li family of Zhaojun of being incapable of raising their children, and the head of the family must take responsibility.

Tang Ji paused, Li Qinzai hooked his shoulder but didn't move him, and looked at him curiously.

"Others kill thirteen horses at the entrance of my village, and you kill thirteen of them. This is a very relieved job, and the effect is not bad. Tang Ji, you are a talent, but your strength is weaker. If I meet more A powerful enemy, no matter how much you can ambush him alone, you won't be able to accomplish anything."

I don't know what Li Zhi and Li Zhengzao talked about in the palace. Outsiders only saw that Li Zhengzao left Beijing in a hurry after leaving the palace. As for what happened to Li Youdao, Li Zhengzao didn't ask, let alone ask anyone to take care of him, as if he had given up on him.

As for the Li family of Zhaojun, it is unrealistic for Li Zhi to overthrow the entire family. The family is so easy to be overthrown, why would it take Li Zhi his whole life to weaken it.

Tang Ji finally showed a smile: "The villain understands."

The skillful and well-behaved appearance makes people feel distressed.

Tang Ji's heart warmed, but he still refused: "The villain's status is humble, and he dare not eat at the same table with Li County Marquis."

"So, you might as well recruit a few people with similar skills as you to work for me. The conditions can be negotiated. If you want money or goods, you need to promise. We can all discuss it."

Li Qinzai seemed to see what he meant, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's all shady things, no matter success or failure, I will not admit that it has anything to do with me, but you are not a dead man, I don't need you to die for me, Run if the wind direction is not right, and look for another opportunity next time."

Li Qinzai was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I won't force you. If you don't drink, why don't you eat? I drink, you eat. In short, today we must make do."

After another hour, Li Zhengzao walked out of the palace gate in a daze.

Just as Li Qinzai was drinking with Tang Ji, another news spread from Chang'an City.

Li Qinzai stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, and when his hand was about to fall on his shoulder, Tang Ji suddenly subconsciously sank his shoulder, and then realized that the person in front of him was the leader and the patron.

Tang Ji nodded: "The villain understands, so I will follow Li Xianhou's order to find talents."

The next day, another news came out.

Li Youdao, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, committed suicide in prison.

The suicide was decisive. Li Youdao hit the wall and died. When the jailer heard the movement and came, Li Youdao's head was deformed.

Before committing suicide, Li Youdao left a suicide note. In the suicide note, he admitted all the crimes, and even the several crimes involved in the case of the Li family in Zhao County were taken on him. Because, it has nothing to do with the family.
