People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 289 Father and son are different, turn against each other

Yunde Building is located in the west of Dongyang City, with luxurious buildings and a vast area.

In addition to the board and lodging pavilions in the front, there are exquisite small courtyards in the back.

In the courtyard, the corridors and pillars of the courtyard, the waterside pavilions and wooden bridges, the emerald trees and bamboo forests, the rockery and boulders, and the Jiangnan water town are fully displayed in a square inch.

At this moment, on the steps of the main building and behind the pillars, there are more than a dozen red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei standing all the way to the entrance of Yunde Building.

On a sunny day, there were few people on the long street, but all kinds of carriages were parked outside Yunde Building.

People who are familiar with it can tell at a glance that today, it can be said that almost all the prominent and respectable people in Dongyang have come.

In the distance, an elm-wooden carriage came from a distance, and while the blue curtains were shaking, a pair of sharp eyes watched everything outside Yunde Building through the gap.

More than a dozen Dongyang County conscripts stood solemnly on both sides of the building, but the most eye-catching ones were the two Qianniuwei with knife handles in their hands and solemn faces at the door.

The carriage stopped, the green curtains were lifted, and a smiling middle-aged fat man, somewhat bloated, got out of the carriage.

Dressed in a lake blue silk robe and wearing a black pu cap, the figure who smiles like a smiling Buddha is Liu Ji, the head of the Liu clan, one of the most wealthy clans in Dongyang County.

Liu Ji straightened his collar, then turned his head, looked at the guard at the side, and said in a low voice, "Stay here honestly, don't go anywhere."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji paused for a while, and said in a low voice, viciously: "If you and I can't get out, you will give you and me to go into the cell obediently, and with your current appearance, people will not see it." Knowing that you are my son... In this way, you may still be able to escape."

"Aye, don't be so careful." Liu Dao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "As long as you and my father and son are of the same heart, the whole Dongyang will be turned upside down in an instant."

"Shut up!" Liu Ji turned around, looked at Yundelou in front of him, and said coldly: "I don't ask much, you old man, before you act, take a step, just one step, think more, You know how dangerous you and I are now."

After speaking, not daring how his son Liu Dao would react, Liu Ji walked directly to the gate of Yunde Building.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Ji heard waves of familiar greetings.

With a sweep of eyes, everyone in the building has been swept into sight.

Although there are only a dozen or so people in Qianniuwei, they are here. Although these prominent figures in Dongyang are whispering, their voices are very low.

"Brother Yanji, it's been a long time!" A middle-aged man with triangular eyes in a black water ripple silk robe came over from the side at this time and greeted Liu Ji in a low voice.

"Brother Jian An, it's been a long time!" Liu Ji hurriedly cupped his hands, then moved to Xu Zhuo's side, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on today, why is your brother who never goes out come here today?"

"Can you not come? If you don't come, you will be killed..." In the middle of speaking, Xu Zhuo stopped talking, pointed to the direction of the door and said, "Brother Yanji, look, your prospective in-law is here!"

Liu Ji turned around subconsciously, and saw a thin middle-aged man in a light blue unmarked official robe walking in, with a solemn expression and unwavering eyes.

This person is none other than Cheng Zipu of Dongyang County School of Sacrificial Wine. Cheng Zipu's eldest daughter is already engaged to Liu Ji's son. By September of this year, the two families will get married.

Liu Ji subconsciously walked towards Cheng Zipu, but Cheng Zipu didn't look at him at all, just walked past him, and went straight up the stairs on the second floor.

Qian Niuwei, who was standing at the entrance of the building, acted as if he hadn't seen it. He didn't even look at Cheng Zipu, and let him go directly.

"Brother Yanji, what's going on?" Xu Zhuo approached in surprise.

Liu Ji shook his head with a look of ignorance, but there was a glint of haze in his eyes.

After recovering for a while, Liu Ji looked at Xu Zhuo and said in a low voice, "Brother Jian An, there are some things that people in the officialdom are completely different from what you and I know, just like what happened last night..."

What time does Liu arrive? Last night's incident is a taboo for everyone. No one dares to mention it casually, lest it will cause disaster.

Xu Zhuo nodded silently, then cupped his hands, turned to look at the others, and went to greet others.

Liu Ji stood where he was, looking at the entrance on the second floor.

Cheng Zipu, the county school's sacrificial wine, didn't think highly of him in the first place. Even though he is now one of the most powerful people in Dongyang, he still rarely gives him good looks.

This is not surprising. Although Cheng Zipu only served as a priest in Dongyang, he still had many old friends serving in the court in Luoyang and Chang'an.

If Liu Dao really wants to go official, he must ask Cheng Zipu's head.

Even if Cheng Zipu is his son's future father-in-law, the attitude of the Liu family has to be lower, after all, Cheng Zipu didn't agree with this marriage at the beginning.

It was the Liu family who found matchmakers from one family after another. The officials and wealthy businessmen all over the city could ask for almost all the matchmakers. It was the daughter of the Cheng family who finally nodded, and Cheng Zipu reluctantly agreed.

Looking at the back of Cheng Zipu who disappeared on the second floor, Liu Ji couldn't help guessing that now that something happened in Dongyang City, this old man would inevitably have some crooked minds.

But at this moment, Liu Ji can no longer control so much.

He couldn't even figure it out now, it was just one night, what happened to completely change the color of Dongyang overnight.

According to the news from the county government last night, Huang Ziming, who joined the army as a facao, was found out. Under the order of the director Li Dingyi, he directly killed people with poisonous snakes, and then sneaked out of the county government immediately.

Afterwards, he had just escaped to the abandoned tower, and Qianniuwei's people had already chased him down, as if they had been following him closely.

Such thoughts made Liu Ji hardly sleep well all night.

He even worried that when he was sleeping soundly at night, the officers and soldiers would directly enter Zhuangzi, burn, kill and loot...

But the situation is okay, the officers and soldiers did not come, and the son also hid all the people in Zhuangzi who shouldn't exist,

In this way, on the second day, after receiving the invitation from the county government, Liu Ji had no choice but to go to the city.

Once in town, he received more news.

All the elite Tianyin Sect deployed in the entire Dongyang City lost most of them last night.

The person who spread the news only knew a rough idea, and he didn't know much about more information.

The curfew started very early in the city last night, and there was no news about some secret passages.

Driving slowly in the city in a carriage, Liu Ji felt inexplicably being watched all the time.

Looking around nervously, Liu Ji suddenly discovered that his son Liu Dao had sneaked into the city with Huahua's guards.

He scolded his son without leaving a trace, and Liu Ji took him by his side firmly, not daring to let him act rashly.

Perhaps in Liu Dao's view, his own Aye was a little too timid and worried, but only Liu Dao knew how terrifying the people in the court would be once they got serious.

When they were in Muzhou back then, their army of tens of thousands of people completely fell apart overnight.

The originally extremely powerful chief executive, Shang Shupushe was directly defeated and died in the end.

Even if it wasn't for the chief executive who dragged her back with his life in the end, even the Holy Lord and her old man might not be able to get away.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Ji was so afraid of the court, especially after Li Xuan arrived last night, their layout in Dongyang was mostly torn apart in just one night.

……

In the quiet and elegant room on the easternmost side of the second floor, the door opened a gap, and a note was sent in silently.

Yu Ze took the note, glanced at it, and then delivered the note to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, who was standing by the window, took the note, glanced at it, and crumpled the note into a ball.

His eyes fell on the tall and mighty middle-aged guard with beards who stopped at the westernmost side of Yunde Tower.

[Liu Dao, a native of Dongyang, Wuzhou, the head of the Dongyang branch of Tianyin Sect, is the pinnacle of innate talent. 】

Liu's father and son came together!
Li Xuan had to admit that the actions of the two father and son were indeed somewhat unexpected.

But that's about it.

Originally, he thought that both father and son would come today, indicating that Li Xuan's previous judgment was completely wrong; or that only one of the two father and son would come, after all, eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

However, he never expected that the two father and son would make the worst choice.

Both father and son actually came to Dongyang City, but one appeared and the other hid secretly. Even if Li Xuan didn't prompt the entry, it was enough to prove that the two father and son were Tianyin followers.

In this way, as long as Li Xuan is willing, he can completely crush the two father and son to death with a backhand.

"Xiaguan Dongyang Sacrificial Wine Cheng Zipu, please see Nanchang County King Qianqiu." A peaceful voice sounded outside the door, causing Li Xuan's expression to turn serious.

The long-awaited person finally arrived, Li Xuan turned around, tidied up a little, and then said, "Please come in for the sacrificial wine!"

The door opened, and a county school sacrificial wine wearing a light blue official robe from the ninth grade came in from the outside. He was slender and elegant, and when he saw Li Xuan, he arched his hands forward and saluted seriously: "Xiaguan Dongyang County Xue Jijiu Jiucheng Zipu, I have met the king of Nanchang County, the prince for thousands of years."

"I've seen you yesterday, sir, please get up." Li Xuan stretched out her hand slightly, with a sincere expression on her face.

Dongyang County Jiaoyu is a figure on an equal footing with Liucao Canjun, and is in charge of all imperial examination and cultural matters in Dongyang.

The county school is the highest school in Dongyang. The county school's Jijiu is in the same field of Confucianism, and its status is second only to the teaching.

Even if Li Xuan is the king of the current dynasty, when it is time to respect, he still needs to be respected.

"Your official is guilty!" Cheng Zipu waved his hem, and unexpectedly knelt down in front of Li Xuan.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Li Xuan was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped aside, while looking at Yu Ze in surprise, her eyes full of inquiries.

"No matter what's the matter, sir, get up first." Yu Ze hurried over to help Cheng Zipu up, but who would have thought that Cheng Zipu shook his head and refused.

Cheng Zipu looked at Li Xuan with a serious face, knelt straight, cupped his hands, and said, "Your official is guilty. I knew the Liu family's wolf ambitions early on, and even married him as a son and daughter... The lower official is guilty. If not pardoned, please ask the prince to punish him!"

A trace of doubt appeared in Li Xuan's face and eyes, but with a flash of inspiration in their minds, they understood.

This is the direct impact of the bloody killing last night.

People's hearts have been turned around.
