This team of officials came straight to the gate of Xingmen Temple, separated a small team to block the back and side gates, and the rest of the cavalry lined up at the main gate and dispersed with astonishing momentum.

This movement naturally disturbed the porter. The Taoist priest at the door saw that these people were aggressive and even tied up the Taoist priest who had just gone out to buy, and immediately knew that the visitor was not good.

But this is the residence of the eldest son of the Li family, who would dare to embarrass him?
He stepped out of the door, stood at the door and frowned, "I don't know what your lords are doing?"

Yan Yan rode his horse in the lead and shouted at him with a voice like a bell: "Jingzhao Mansion is doing business! Jingzhao Mansion Yin is here in person! Why don't you tell the temple masters to come out soon!?"

Jingzhaofu Yin is the prince.But if it is said that it is the prince, it will make people subconsciously think of jealousy, which will not be good for Zhu Rongzhan.It is said that he is the governor of Jingzhao, but he can still try his best to pretend that it is an official business and has nothing to do with personal affairs.

Although this kind of cover-up was a bit deceiving, and it was better than nothing, Yan Yan felt that he still had to try his best to win that shaky reputation for his boss.

The concierge's gaze immediately fell behind Yan Yan.

Under the banner of Jingzhao Mansion, there was a young man riding the most handsome and tallest horse. He was extremely handsome and glamorous.

He hastily bowed down: "Meet His Royal Highness! Xiaodao will report now."

Zhu Rongzhan nodded: "Get up."

The concierge didn't dare to delay, and immediately retreated into the temple, and ran to Li Ying's residence.Seeing that the door of the main room was locked, he had no choice but to go to the side room first, and sure enough, there he found a nanny who was waiting for Li Ying's orders at any time.

"Aunt Dong! It's not good! His Royal Highness brought the officials from Jingzhao Mansion and surrounded our Taoist temple!"

The nanny who was embroidering a purse was taken aback for a moment.

The concierge asked anxiously again: "Is the young master there?"

Of course Li Ying was there.

where is he

Naturally, he went back to accompany Lin Yu again.

He just came out to order the trivial matters, but he felt that he had nothing to do, nowhere to go, and it was best to stay by Lin Yu's side.

It's just that Lin Yu was in a deep sleep. He was worried that he would wake her up, so he stayed in the outer room and asked the nanny to send some more books in, so he could read with her.

However, the concierge's voice was not low, and Li Ying had sensitive ears, so she should have heard it now.

The nanny couldn't help turning her head to look at the main room where the door was closed, and sure enough, the next second, the door opened from the inside.

Li Ying closed her eyes again, appeared at the door, and said calmly, "What happened?"

The nanny hurriedly picked up an umbrella from the side room, went to Li Ying's side and opened it for him to block the sun.

The concierge hurriedly saluted, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Prince has brought people to surround us!"

The nanny glanced inside the door, wanting to ask Lin Yu what's going on now.

Although Li Ying told her not to be suspicious of Lin Yu before, but now that the situation is developing, how can she rest assured?
Did Lin Yu really fall asleep, ignorant of the world, or did he deliberately attract the prince?
Li Ying stretched out her hand and tugged on her sleeve, calling her eyes back. "Since the crown prince is here, it's not good to keep the distinguished guests waiting for a long time, so I'll go to greet you right now."

"My lord!" the nanny said anxiously, "I'm afraid the person who came is not kind!"

Li Ying looked at her, patted her arm reassuringly, and said gently, "I am the eldest son of the Li family."

These words sounded like they were comforting her: "The prince can't be too hard on me."

But the nanny knows that this sentence also means "you can't run away if you run away".

She had no choice but to suppress her worries and accompany Li Ying to the door.

When they arrived at the door, the door opened, and the situation outside the door changed again.

In the open space between the cavalry formation and the Xingmen Temple, a Taoist priest was kneeling under the pressure of two arresters.

Li Ying glanced at him, then bowed to Zhu Rongzhan who was sitting high on the horseback, her voice was soft and non-threatening: "Li Ying pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There are so few distinguished guests, it is really frightening."

Zhu Rongzhan didn't get off his horse. He looked at Li Ying from a distance, squinted his eyes, and thought, this is the eldest son of the Li family?

In the previous life, he lived deep in the palace, and Li Ying did not enter the imperial court. Although Zhu Rongzhan knew that such a person was there, he had never seen him.

Looking at it now, it looks like a ghost in white, not too thin, and blindfolded, probably sick.

Why does this person argue with me about Ayu?

How could Ayu fall in love with this kind of person?
In terms of appearance and physique, am I not thousands of times better than this sick man?
How could Ayu not want to marry me, but said that she was in love with Li Ying?Like that fever, I'm afraid, it's just a pretense.

He suppressed the resentment in his heart, said "hmm", and said lightly: "Get up."

Afterwards, Zhu Rongzhan raised his horsewhip and pointed at the Taoist priest kneeling on the ground: "Is this person a Taoist priest in your eyes?"

Li Ying was blindfolded, with a dazed and innocent look on her face. The nanny next to him confirmed it, and told him something in a low voice, before he said to Zhu Rongzhan, "It's the Taoist priest in charge of purchasing in the temple."

"It turns out that he is really the person next to the eldest son." Zhu Rongzhan sighed in disappointment: "The eldest son is such a humble gentleman, but he was deceived by the evil servant?"

Li Ying asked puzzled, "Evil servant?"

Zhu Rongzhan glanced at Yan Yan, and Yan Yan immediately scolded him: "This man is really a monk? It's unbelievable! Does the eldest son know how powerful he is? When I met officers and soldiers on the road, I didn't avoid being disrespectful. When I saw Jing The banner of the Zhaofu said that Quanzhi Jingzhaofu Yin is here, and he has to be polite to him-everyone says that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this is so that people who don't know see it, and think Li's elder The young master is even more powerful than the prime minister, and a servant who is in charge of purchasing by his side doesn't even look down on the second-rank official of the imperial court!"

Li Ying's body couldn't help shaking. He already looked thin, but now he looked even weaker.

The nanny hastened to hold him tighter.

But seeing Li Ying covering her mouth, coughing a few times, she looked exhausted, and a sickly blush appeared on her face: "There is such a thing!"

He took a hard breath, as if he was about to faint in the next second: "It's all because of my lax discipline for such an arrogant person... From now on, I will definitely reprimand and discipline him severely."

Yan Yan said: "How to control the young master is the young master's business. He offended His Highness, and how His Highness punishes it is His Highness's business."

Li Ying lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Yes. It should be so."

Zhu Rongzhan said: "Ten lashes, does the eldest son have any objections?"

"... Cough...! Don't dare."

Zhu Rongzhan nodded: "Then execute the sentence."

Ten lashes doesn't sound like much, but only those who have been tortured know how cruel it is.

The first time the whip came down, the Taoist let out a scream.By the time of the second and third lashes, the taoist robe on his body had been ripped apart, exposing his flesh and blood.

The two arresters who were pressing him back had already backed away. His hands were tied behind his back, and his feet were tightly bound by ropes. He rolled uncontrollably on the ground, trying to avoid the next whip.

After a while, there were bloodstains all over the front of the Xingmen Temple.

At the third whip, the Taoist couldn't help but started screaming, and at the fourth whip, tears flowed from the pain, and he wailed for help: "Young Master! Young Master, save me!"

But soon, he couldn't even yell, and after the seventh whip, he fainted to death.

He yelled so terribly just now, but there was a sudden silence, against the view of the star gate, the atmosphere between the two groups of people was particularly grim and chilling.

Both sides are very clear that this is Zhu Rongzhan's slaying power and killing power.

He is killing chickens to warn monkeys, and he is also pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Did the Taoist really disrespect him?That is not important anymore, what is important is that he has a reason to make use of it.

Li Ying proposes marriage to the prince's sweetheart, openly challenging the prince's majesty, he is the biggest disrespect.

Xiangzhuang's sword dance is intended for Peigong.

Li Ying's voice was still soft, but perhaps because the surrounding environment was too quiet, everyone could hear clearly: "Your Highness, if you beat him any longer, he will die. Your Highness did not execute him directly, but whipped him." Ten blows must be kind and generous, and they don't want to take his life."

"Punishment should be based on enlightenment. If he can turn back astray, it is naturally better than losing his life." Zhu Rongzhan said calmly: "If he has already realized his mistake, the remaining three whips will naturally be avoided. But..."

He raised his eyes to look at Li Ying, and smiled slightly: "Young Master, do you think he is wrong?"
