Chapter 407
The eldest prince glanced back at Mr. Li, only to see that his brows were deeply frowned, it seemed that this matter was not groundless.

As far as Princess Ke herself is concerned, she has never made any mistakes.

It's just that her natal family is always making trouble for them. Originally, she thought that the Li family would be flourishing with many people, but now she felt that it would be better if there were no people, so that she could just let him clean up the mess every day.

Just about to open his mouth to intercede for him, he saw that Emperor Qi was getting impatient.

"Now the northwest has just returned from a victorious battle, and the southwest is facing floods. As the imperial court official of the Jin Dynasty, I don't want to share my worries, and at this time, I want to provoke people's resentment. It's really audacious!"

Facing Feng Jinxu, he shouted loudly, "I will leave this matter to you. You must find out those corrupt officials who are fish and meat. I will punish you severely!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Hearing that this matter was entrusted to Feng Jinxu, he was really happy and sad at the same time.

With his uprightness, the First Prince was afraid that he would reveal all of Li's shady collusions. On the contrary, Mr. You, who just spoke, was full of complacency.

Feng Jinxu is now an official appointed by Emperor Qi to investigate the forced surrender case in the suburbs of Beijing, so it is useless for anyone to intercede.

The members of the Li family came to Prince Ke's mansion early to discuss, the eldest prince's face was ashen, and the princess sitting next to her was also full of sadness at the moment.

Although she has the emperor's eldest grandson by her side now, if she loses the favor of the eldest prince, she will be different now.

He glanced at his brother resentfully, as if he hated iron but steel.

Master Li did not speak righteously in the court at this moment, but said to Prince Ke that he wanted to cry without tears.

"My lord, I really didn't ask them to pay by force. I just casually said that it's fine as in previous years. Who knew that I would be caught by You!"

"Confused! What has the rain been like for the past six months? Are you blind? Even if you are blind, what are the people raised below doing for food? They will only cause trouble for the king all day long!"

Prince Ke is quite critical of them now, and he is not even willing to say anything round.

After being scolded, Master Li didn't dare to open his mouth to defend himself.

Instead, he quarreled with Princess Ke to wink desperately, hoping that she could maintain one or two as before.

Hey, no matter how you say it is my brother, Princess Ke can't really see him being involved in this matter, so she can only bite the bullet and say to her husband.

"My lord, this matter is also unintentional, and besides, the food that was forcibly confiscated has already been returned, can you please tell me about it in front of Lord Feng, because it is a family that has been an official for a while. If you really beat down the Li family, it won't be of any benefit to Prince Yu."

She has been by Prince Ke's side for many years, so she naturally knows what words can move him the most.

So he continued, "In a few days it will be the wedding day of the Nine Emperor Brothers. At this time, they are deliberately making trouble because they are thinking about their plan against the prince. If they really let the Li family be dragged into the water, wouldn't it be possible for them to succeed?"

The Ninth Prince is Prince Ke's heart disease, just in order not to make the Ninth Prince proud, he wants to keep the Li family.

Otherwise, what majesty can he say in this court, and how can he make others follow him.

Seeing that he was a little moved, Master Li immediately stepped forward and said.

"My lord, I have one more thing to say. On the night Wei Guogong was assassinated, we arranged for spies outside his mansion to report that someone inside had brought out a corpse. As for who it was, we haven't found out yet. The lower official guessed that this person might be related to the assassin."

Hearing what he said, Prince Ke put away the anger just now, and asked instead.

"Where's the corpse?"

"It was dismembered by the People's Congress of Duke Wei's Mansion and thrown into a mass grave, so I didn't see her appearance."

What kind of deep hatred is worthy of the Wei family's action, it seems that Mr. Li's guess is right.

"Check! Check all the people who may be bribed that day, but I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Wei family!"

In a few words, the topic of conflict is shifted.

Prince Ke promised to intercede for him, but Feng Jinxu's "notoriety" was out of the question, and he was not fully sure that he could persuade him.

The concubine Wang and Master Li thought, if the prince speaks, no matter how ruthless Feng Jinxu is, he will be more afraid.

Feng Jinxu has always handled cases with lightning speed, and he has not waited for Prince Ke to open his mouth.

Mr. Li has been "summoned" into Dali Temple, and there has been no news since then.

Prince Ke was shocked when he heard the words. Anyway, the Li family is his wife's family. If they were dismissed and investigated, everyone's faces would be ugly, so they rushed to Dali Temple.

After staying for less than half a stick of incense, Prince Ke came out with a pale face, stared fiercely at the word Dali Temple for a long time, and then walked away.

When Wei Dalang told Wei Guogong about this as a joke, he was indifferent.

The left eye is recovering well now, the pain is a bit painful, but it is lucky to be able to save his life.

"The matter of forced payment is nothing more than making a fuss out of a molehill. It won't save the life of the Li family. But have the affairs in Jinling City been properly arranged? That's the big deal."

Now that he is weak, many things have to be handed over to Wei Dalang and the people below, but he is always worried.

Wei Dalang finally got some opportunities in front of Wei Guogong, how could he let it go, naturally he said with assurance.

"Father, don't worry, my son has urgently sent a secret letter telling them to deal with Liang Quanbin, and then all traces of us in Jinling City will also be erased. Even if Bai Chaoan detects something, there will be no evidence."

"That's good, it's just a pain for Lan'er."

Wei Guogong didn't finish his words, but the meaning was very clear.

Since they took action against Liang Quanbin, they naturally abandoned the entire Liang family, Liang Pan and Liang Luo could not stay.

Otherwise, if their brothers and sisters find out, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future.

Poor Wei Lanxuan is still immersed in the dream of being a mother and being held in the hands of the Liang family, but she doesn't know that her end will be so miserable in the future!
In Dali Temple, although Mr. Li was imprisoned, no one lynched him.

But there is a shocking secret on Feng Jinxu's desk at the moment.

In the past few days, they have been investigating matters in the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, the Li family is really not a big deal. On the contrary, it is a bearded man in his village who is particularly arrogant and unreasonable.

Not only beat and scolded the tenant farmers below, but this time, in order to forcefully pay the grain, a family was forced to sell their sons and daughters. In the end, the couple hanged at home.

The investigation of this bearded man is very clear on the paper. In fact, these crimes are not difficult to find. Now that he has the evidence, it is easy to catch this man, but what makes him suspicious is a name he has never heard of before.
