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

Chapter 363 Three visits to the villa, copying Xu's family

"Drive, drive!" By the Dongtan Lake, a group of cavalry came galloping from a distance.

Li Xuan rode at the front, followed by a dozen red-clothed and gold-armored Qianniuwei, galloping like the wind.

A mountain villa loomed ahead, and the group of people immediately accelerated their horses.

In a blink of an eye, it has stopped in front of the villa.

Three visits to the villa.

Li Xuan rode on the horse, looked at the plaque on it, and sneered: "You really dare to name it, Sangu Villa, you think you are Zhuge Liang, so who is Liu Xuande?"

"My lord!" Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "When I was in Chang'an, I occasionally met the Duke of England, who was gentle and courteous, absolutely would not have such a similar idea.

Moreover, when the Taiwei was alive, he was highly trusted by His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, and the Duke of England was even more calm.

The subordinate suspects that the British Duke may not know about the Jinhua matter. "

Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji are both extremely speculative figures.

They not only won the trust of the emperor, but also the cronies of Empress Wu.

Li Ji is like this, and Li Jingye is no exception.

"It's one thing whether the British public knows or not, but I have to report this matter. At most, I should be more cautious in terms of words." Li Xuan sighed softly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Li Jingye was talented, good at riding and archery, superb strategy, and won the trust of the emperor. He was the governor of Yizhou before he was [-] years old.

Li Ji's art of war and the rest of his life all fell on Li Jingye.

But who would have thought that Li Jingye would rebel in the future, and it would be Wu Zetian's rebellion.

If at this time, Li Xuan took the initiative to create some conflicts with Li Jingye, then in the future, he might be able to fight for the dominance of Li Jingye's party.

Moreover, Li Xuan faintly suspected that everything here might be a chess piece secretly laid by Empress Wu.

Just like Dongyang Liu's.

……

While Li Xuan was thinking, a figure suddenly appeared at the gate of the villa.

It's Qi Guang.

Qi Guang, who arrived here one step ahead, quickly rushed out of the villa with a knife in his hand.

The blood on the knife was still flowing.

"Reporting to my lord, I found many portraits of Tianyin Goddess in the room of Xu's servants. In addition, when my subordinates were ordered to search the villa, they were resisted by the guards of the villa. Six people were killed and six long spears were seized. Bow, two crossbows, and a collar armor, in addition, a kidnapped woman from a good family was found in the back garden." Qi Guang's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Li Xuan got off the horse, patted Qi Guang on the shoulder, then looked at Wang Bo, and asked, "Mr. Zi'an, how should we deal with such a thing."

Although his face was not good-looking, Wang Bo still said cautiously: "Reporting to the prince, he is suspected of treason. Although there is not much substantive evidence, but he kidnapped a woman from a good family, gathered a crowd to resist the search by the government, hid two crossbows, and one collar. They will be punished together, hanged according to the law, and exiled for thousands of miles in three parts..."

Before Wang Bo finished speaking, the two horses galloped towards him.

Ning Yi, the magistrate of Jinhua County, and Lu Jin, the magistrate of the county, have dismounted at the same time: "I have seen the prince!"

Li Xuan nodded, and asked casually: "You two, is there a missing woman in Jinhua County today?"

Ning Yi and Lu Jin looked at each other, although they came here for Xu Ge's affairs, but when they heard Li Xuan's question, they had to reply quickly: "Report to the lord, there seems to be one thing the day before yesterday."

"Oh, that's a bit unfortunate. I just found it inside." Li Xuan's expression suddenly became sentimental.

The day before yesterday, two days passed.

The expressions of Ning Yi and Lu Jin couldn't help but change. Originally, they came here because Li Xuan copied Xu Ge's Sangu Villa in the name of suspected treason, but now, let's not talk about the treason. Confirmed, that is at once a mortal sin of hanging.

"In addition, we need to check carefully whether he only abducted this woman, or before this time, there were more women who were abducted and trafficked. She checks the British government!"

Li Xuan's understatement completely connected Xu Ge and Li Jingye.

"Here!" Ning Yi and Lu Jin bowed at the same time, not knowing what to say or how to intercede for a while.

"Go in." Li Xuan took the lead and walked towards the villa.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Ge who was tied up and his mouth was gagged to death.

In the open space on the side, weapons, crossbows, and battle armors were all piled up together.

If these things were in normal times, even if they were placed in front of Ning Yi and Lu Jin, no one would care about them, but now, with the abduction and trafficking of women just now, it may even involve the abduction and trafficking of more women.

These things have now nailed Xu Ge to death.

Seeing Ning Yi and Lu Jin walking in from the outside at the same time, Xu Ge immediately struggled violently.

However, to Xu Ge's surprise, neither Ning Yi nor Lu Jin planned to look at him.

Li Xuan stood in the middle of the main courtyard, looked at Wang Bo on the side, and said softly: "Mr. Zi'an, just charge the center according to the charges just now... Wait, add one more, privately filling the lake and occupying the land on the lake beach Two thousand acres, hidden fields, according to the law, twisted, "

In an instant, everyone looked at Li Xuan in disbelief, and then fixedly stared at Xu Ge.

Xu Ge also sat on the ground completely paralyzed at this moment.

For a long time, the truth that he wanted to hide the most was completely exposed to everyone.

Is he crazy to fill the lake privately and hide [-] acres of land?

According to the law, if you have [-] acres of hidden land, you will be sentenced to two years in prison and a hundred rods.

Two thousand acres of hidden fields, at least 80 years in prison, four thousand sticks.

Enough to kill him.

Li Xuan suddenly looked at Ning Yi and Lu Jin, and said unceremoniously: "You two, under your rule, such a bad hidden field incident happened, you should think about how to report to the court. Explain, how to explain to saints and queens."

"I'll die!" Ning Yi and Lu Jin immediately bowed their hands in awe and apologized.

"Let's check, first check all the properties of the Xu family in Jinhua, then make a general list, and send troops to seal them all. As for how to deal with them, I will talk about it after I report to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven."

Li Xuan walked up to Xu Ge's side, stepped on his shoulder, and asked coldly: "My lord asks you, do you have a letter from the British government at home?"

letter?

When the others heard Li Xuan's question, their faces became completely solemn.

They don't know what Li Xuan wants to do, are they so impatient to turn against the British government?

You must know that although Li Jingye is not his grandfather Li Ji, but the kindness of his ancestors, in the army and in the local area, there are many old students who are old students.

Here, whenever someone trips Li Xuan, he will be in a lot of trouble immediately.

"Woooo..." Xu Ge struggled vigorously, but his voice was strangled by the cloth strip on his mouth and strangled back.

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly patted his forehead, and suddenly said: "Oh, look at this king's memory, I almost forgot, your mouth is blocked, come on, this king will help you untie it." .”

Xu Your Excellency raised his head subconsciously, and in an instant, a sharp sword light flashed in front of his eyes.

"Ah!" Xu Ge suddenly screamed, his whole body rolled and scrambled and kept running backwards.

In a blink of an eye, he ran to the wall and stuck to it tightly.

Like a frightened gecko.

Suddenly, Xu Ge trembled violently, and all reason returned to his mind in an instant.

Only at this time did Xu Ge suddenly realize that the rope on his body and the strip of cloth in his mouth had all been cut open by the sword just now.

Raising his head, Xu Ge looked into the villa. At this moment, he discovered in astonishment that all the officials and soldiers in the villa were looking at him in surprise.

"Come here!" The long sword in Li Xuan's hand had been sheathed at some point, he raised his head casually, and ordered in a low voice: "Record."

Cheng Yan immediately took a step forward, and took out a blue booklet from his carrying belt, as well as a writing brush with a cap on it.

The brush was taken out of the pen case, and the tip of the pen appeared to have been dipped in ink.

In a very short time, Cheng Yan was ready for the secretary.

"After the suspect Xu Ge was arrested, he grabbed his sword and wanted to escape. Qianniuwei ordered him to be killed by the king of Nanchang County." Li Xuan said while looking at Xu Ge with a sneer, and said softly: "In this way, Jinhua County is good, this king is good, and British Duke is also good, but it's a pity that you will become the scapegoat for all this."

As he spoke, Li Xuan raised his right hand.

In an instant, all the Qianniu Guards around drew out their crossbows and aimed directly at Xu Ge...

Under the cold arrow light, Xu Ge slid down against the wall all of a sudden, and at the same time shouted loudly, "No, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll recruit, I'll just find it, what do you think?" Know what I will tell you, please don’t kill me, don’t kill me.”

Under the cruel threat of death, Xu Ge's spirit directly collapsed.

A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, and he put down his right hand, and at the same time put down the crossbows in Qianniuwei's hands.

With his hand on the hilt of his sword, Li Xuan walked up to Xu Ge step by step.

Seeing Xu Ge covering his face in pain, the sneer on Li Xuan's face disappeared instantly.

"Tell me, where is the secret contact letter between you and the Duke of England?" Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious.

It was a surprise to get Li Jingye's handle this time.

Although Li Jingye is quite intelligent and strategic, he is also very ambitious.

How to target him in the future will be carefully considered later, but now we can get Li Jingye's handle and send it to the palace.

So no matter the emperor thought that Li Xuan was selfless, or he really had some selfish intentions, it was definitely a good thing for the emperor just to see that there was a conflict between Li Xuan and the military.

The same is true for Empress Wu.

"At all... there is no secret letter at all." Xu Ge looked at Li Xuan with some fear, and seeing Li Xuan's expression of astonishment for a moment, he quickly added: "Actually... there is actually no relationship with the British Duke. No connection, although my surname is Xu, and although I was born in Caozhou, I am not related to the Duke of England, so I pretended to be."

"Fake it?" Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Behind him, Ning Yi and Lu Jin relaxed at the same time.

Although they are not afraid of Li Jingye, they don't want to have any grudges with Li Jingye for no reason.

Regardless of whether Xu Ge really has nothing to do with Li Jingye, or whether he wants to bear all the blame for all the crimes alone, it has nothing to do with them.

Now, we just need to see how the King of Nanchang intends to end this matter.

At this time, Li Xuan suddenly said in surprise: "You said you have nothing to do with the British government, I believe you."

All the people present looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

Seeing Li Xuan asked calmly: "So, how did you get so many fields now, or more precisely, who owns these fields now, and for whom are you holding them? How did you get the rank of military commander?"

Standing so close, Xu Ge's heartbeat couldn't be hidden from Li Xuan at all.

Whether what he said was true or not, Li Xuan could tell at a glance.

Therefore, he is really not a member of Li Jingye's clan.

Although this made Li Xuan somewhat disappointed, it was only disappointment.

At this moment, a greater doubt arose in his heart, who is the owner behind this property.

What is the purpose of arranging such a person to come here to pretend.

Xu Ge glanced at Li Xuan in fear, and then at Ning Yi and Xu Jin who were solemnly looking behind.

Although his face was a bit embarrassed, he changed his words and said, "It's the Qian family, more precisely, it's Qian Qilang. Right now, these properties belong to him, and he alone."
