Chapter 123 Filial Piety
"Since Mr. Li has nothing to say, he should be sent to the prison first, and the trial will be retried at another day." Gu Yunxi said directly.

Li Wenzhong raised his head suddenly, his face was full of panic, he rushed forward to hug Gu Yunxi's leg and said:
"My lord, I have been wronged! I have been wronged!"

"Whether wronged or not, I will know after checking."

After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, she kicked Li Wenzhong away.

Looking at the stains on the robe, I was extremely disgusted.

"Take the heavy cloud down."

Gu Yunxi's ears hurt from the wailing of his father and son, so she ordered in a cold voice.

Chongyun walked up to the two of them, and said in a cold tone:

"Master Li, Mr. Li please!"

"minister"

Li Wenzhong still wanted to defend himself, but Chongyun immediately pulled out his long silver sword with a "chuckle".

Jianfeng pointed directly at Li Wenzhong's throat.

He could clearly feel the cold air emanating from the blade.

Cold sweat trickled down his face, and he didn't dare to say another word.

"Master Li has something to say, let's save it for the trial." Chong Yun said.

"Yes yes yes." Li Wenzhong replied stiffening his neck.

He looked at the long sword lying in front of his neck, not daring to move half a cent.

"Master Li, let's go." Chong Yun looked at Li Wenzhong and said lightly.

Li Wenzhong gently pushed the long sword away with his fingers.

The long sword was sharp, and immediately cut a bloodstain on his finger.

Even so, Li Wenzhong didn't say anything, and obediently followed Chongyun out.

"Caomin has a grievance, and I beg the regent to avenge Caoming's grievance."

As soon as Li's father and son walked to the door, some people in the crowd knelt down and begged.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yunxi asked.

"Caomin wants to sue Master Li's son, Li Cheng, for killing my son with his horse."

When the man said this, he was already sobbing.

"It's a pity that he was only three years old, and he died under the hoof of a horse!"

Hearing this, Li Wenzhong trembled violently and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxi sneered, looked at everyone and said:
"Any more?"

"Yes, yes." Many people stood up and said.

"My leg was beaten by Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li buys and sells by force, and buys grass people's grain at extremely low prices."

"Young Master Li has taken over the fertile fields of grass-roots people."

When someone took the lead, more and more people stepped forward to accuse Li and his son of their crimes.

To sum it up, burning, killing, looting, all kinds of evil.

"If you have any grievances, just sue. Tomorrow there will be officials in charge of the case, and we will definitely give everyone justice." Gu Yunxi said.

It's over, it's over!

Li Wenzhong's fingertips turned white, and he clung to the pole on the second floor to stabilize his body a little.

"Father, think of a way!" Li Cheng said anxiously, "I don't want to die yet, father!"

"The evil you did yourself has caused the entire Li family to suffer, you still have the face to cry!"

Li Wenzhong looked at his son, the expression in his eyes changed again and again.

He never expected that his children would become dragons and phoenixes among the people.

I just want them to grow up carefree and healthy.

So these years in the court, he formed a clique for personal gain, step by step, just to climb a little higher.

I don't want my children to be like me back then, bowing down and being patient everywhere.

But now seeing Li Cheng crying bitterly, Li Wenzhong felt very disappointed.

"Father is blaming me?"

It's not that Li Cheng didn't notice that Li Wenzhong looked at him strangely.

But for so many years, he has no resentment in his heart.

"In the whole of Kyoto, except for the prince and princess, no one else needs to pay attention."

"Father forgot this sentence?"

After Li Cheng finished speaking, regardless of the strange eyes of everyone, he laughed wantonly.

Li Wenzhong's hand holding the railing had bulging veins.

He suddenly remembered that 16 years ago, relying on Prime Minister Yao's relationship, he was promoted again and again.

It was the time when the spring breeze was in full swing, but when he returned home, he saw blood was streaming from his son's head.

After some questioning, I learned that it turned out that a child from the family of a fifth-rank official had smashed his head.

At that time, he looked at his son's aggrieved expression.

Immediately, he thought of the days when he was a young man who was under the aunt's hand, earnestly earning a living.

So angry, he said this to him.

Since then, Li Cheng has changed his appearance and become arrogant and domineering.

But he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, as his son Li Wenzhong should.

But now it seems that he was wrong.

Li Wenzhong closed his eyes in despair, feeling a little regretful and guilty.

Looking at the pained expression on Li Wenzhong's face, Li Cheng seemed to feel that it wasn't enough.

He continued to speak:

"Father thinks I'm stupid now, but I remember that when I was a child, I was able to read a hundred characters at the age of three and poetry at the age of seven."

"Why did I become like this now, father, you are the most responsible, aren't you!"

"It's you who said that studying is too hard, and your heart aches."

"It's also you who said that even if I don't take the imperial examination, you can keep my life safe and smooth, and I will be rich and honored forever."

"With my father's guarantee, I will act so recklessly. Now my father actually blames me for harming the entire Li family."

"Aren't you the one who harmed the entire Li family!" Li Cheng asked loudly.

Li Cheng looked at Li Wenzhong with resentment in his eyes.

If his father hadn't said so, how could he have given up the imperial examination.

Maybe he has become a Jinshi now, so he doesn't have to be ridiculed behind his back every day.

There was silence around, and no one expected Li Cheng to be so emotional suddenly.

Li Wenzhong listened to his son's accusations against him, and regretted more than being sad.

He always thought that he was doing it for his own good, but he didn't expect to hurt him in the end.

It also harmed the entire Li Mansion!
The depression in Li Wenzhong's heart was hard to dissipate, and the depression was entangled in his heart.

In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a puff, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

Li Chengzhuo looked at his father lying on the ground in a state of distress, and did not bend down to help him.

Instead, he stood aside indifferently, as if he didn't see it.

"Mr. Li, is that enough?" Gu Yunxi asked lightly.

Li Cheng's eyes fell on Gu Yunxi, and his mood was very complicated.

Both of the parents of the regent died in the early years, and in just five years, he changed from an unknown person to a regent with great power.

And my father is obviously an important minister in the court, so there are many ways to choose.

But he chose the bottom path.

"Enough." Li Cheng replied.

He looked at Gu Yunxi with envy and yearning in his eyes.

He has been on this road for too long, and he has forgotten that he once had a high-spirited appearance.

……

At this time, in the private room on the second floor, Zhao Jin heard that a man in black was fighting with Mr. Li.

"Crack." He put down the chopsticks in his hand.

Without saying a word, he picked up the big knife in his hand and rushed out of the house angrily.

"Where are you going?"

Ping'er stood up, tugged at his sleeve and asked.

"Of course to protect the king...my father."

Zhao Jin didn't know that Gu Yunxi's identity had been exposed, so he replied in another way.

"Your father?" Ping'er asked in shock.

"He saved me, I will respect him like a father." Zhao Jin explained.

When Ping'er heard this, he chuckled lightly.

"Then go quickly."

Then he stood in place and looked at Zhao Jin's leaving back, with a little smile on his face.

After so many years, he really hasn't changed at all...

 I don't know what I ate today, my head hurts and I vomit.

  Let's update a chapter first, and I will make up for everyone tomorrow if it gets better.
