wealthy lord

Chapter 867 Testing Zong Ling Li Chun
Li Qingyue was shocked: "No! Husband, Li Mu is not the kind of person who will give up easily! We have offended him so much this time! If we give him a chance to turn things around, in the future..."

Lin Yun said: "Okay, Qingyue, you should understand! Your husband's hands have been stained with the blood of too many people! So, for the sake of the future, I can't easily get bloodstained again!"

Li Qingyue heard the hidden meaning and raised her eyebrows: "So what does my husband mean is... to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

"You can put it this way! When the Li family is driven to Hanzhong County to take root, the journey will be long and the sky will be high. It will be normal for something to happen, and no one will gossip about it anymore!"

Li Qingyue thought about it and realized that this was the truth. With Lin Yun's current skills, he would only need to issue a secret order in the future to make Li Mu shut up forever without anyone knowing.

Ever since their last breakup and severance of relationship, Li Qingyue has made up her mind to kill Li Mu.

Soon, the sedan stopped in front of the clan house.

The guards had already sent the message in advance, so Zong Ling Li Chun had been waiting at the gate of the yamen for a long time.

When he saw Lin Yun and Li Qingyue walking out of the sedan chair, he immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the Regent!"

Lin Yun smiled and helped him up, praising him: "Haha, should I call you Ninth Brother together with Qingyue? Or should I just call you Lord Li?"

Although Li Chun is almost fifty years old, he has maintained himself quite well and looks very young. There is not a single white hair on his head and no wrinkles on his face.

It is said that the eyes age first as people age, but Li Chun's eyes are not cloudy at all, and his whole person looks extraordinary.

However, although he was smiling, Lin Yun could still feel a hint of melancholy.

Perhaps it was due to his special experience.

"Hey, Your Majesty, please don't say that! You are the regent and the future king. How dare I act like a senior in front of you?"

Li Chun was very clear that his relationship with the Regent was not as good as he had imagined.

Especially because of his own background, strictly speaking, he is still a thorn in Lin Yun's eyes.

It was only thanks to this youngest sister that he was able to avoid being implicated and continue to hold this position.

At this time, Li Qingyue smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, where is my sister-in-law? Why didn't she come out with us?"

Li Chun's eyes light up when he mentions his beloved woman.

"Qingyue, you are the prince's woman, can't you be more stable? Why call me sister-in-law? It's your fault that you always call me that, making Bing'er embarrassed and afraid to show up!"

Li Qingyue curled her lips and said, "Tsk, Brother Jiu, please don't wrongly accuse me! Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to go find my sister-in-law!"

Having said that, she rushed into the mansion carelessly and soon disappeared.

Lin Yun saw this and cursed the girl in his heart for being unreliable. He had asked her to follow him in the first place just to introduce her to him and avoid embarrassment.

She just ran away in a flash.

Li Chun quickly stepped aside and said, "Your Highness, please stop standing there and come in!"

Afterwards, the two of them came to the reception room in the back hall, took their seats, and were served tea by maids.

At this time, Lin Yun took a sip of tea and looked up at him.

"Master Li, do you know why I came here?"

Li Chun smiled bitterly: "Of course! I have heard from Qingyue that the prince is planning to take action against the Li family clan!"

Lin Yun put down his teacup and raised his head slightly. "Then I wonder what Lord Li means..."

Li Chun sighed, "Hey, I know what Qingyue and the prince mean. They want to wipe out the roots! I naturally have no reason to refuse! I believe Qingyue has also told the prince the specific reasons! However, if the prince is willing to listen to me, it's better not to do this!"

Lin Yun said playfully: "Oh? Tell me about it!"

He had just told Li Qingyue that he was not planning to kill any members of the Li family for the time being.

But out of caution, he still wanted to hear the attitude of Li Chun, the former ninth prince.

It can also be regarded as a test of Li Chun.

If he showed a side similar to Li Mu who endured humiliation, Lin Yun would not have the same attitude as now.

Li Chun pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, the reason is very simple! The prince has everything now, and the most important thing to do is to appease him and use a gentle strategy. This will not only win over the civil and military officials of the court, but also leave a good reputation!"

"Otherwise, although the prince's massacre can wipe out the roots, he will also leave the whole court with the stigma of a tyrant! At that time, everyone will be in danger, which may not be a good thing! After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers, and these officials are also afraid of being liquidated!"

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and it cannot represent everyone! If there is anything inappropriate in what I said, I hope Your Majesty will not blame me!"

Lin Yun stared at him for a long time with deep eyes, then suddenly lowered his head and picked up the teacup, gently scraping the tea leaves in the cup with the tea lid, and said meaningfully: "Lord Li is right, and I have also considered this! However, what you said is just a sequelae! Even if I really kill people after changing the dynasty, it is reasonable! It is better than leaving the Li family as a future trouble, which will cause trouble in the future, right?"

Li Chun's heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Yes! This is my humble servant's inconsideration! Then let's do as the prince wishes! I am willing to cooperate fully!"

As he spoke, he pulled out the secret letter he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.

Lin Yun took the secret letter and opened it. It contained a list of all the members of the Li family and their relatives.

Li Chun knelt on the ground with sweat already starting to form on his forehead. He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but when it really came, he still got nervous.

After all, what he is doing now is betraying the Li family. If Lin Yun really goes on a killing spree, then he would be an accomplice.

At this time, Lin Yun threw the secret letter on the table and said in a deep voice: "This list will be kept by Lord Li for the time being! When all the relatives of the Li family move to Hanzhong County, I will handle it impartially!"

Li Chun thought he had misheard and suddenly looked up at him.

"Your Majesty means..."

Lin Yun said playfully, "For the sake of Lord Li and Qingyue, I will not be the bad guy! However, Lord Li will be responsible for monitoring the Li family's every move from now on. If there is any mistake, Lord Li can't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Li Chun knocked his head to the ground.

"Thank you, Regent... I will definitely not let you down!"

He really thought that it was because of his own reasons that touched Lin Yun and made Lin Yun change his mind.

This is exactly Lin Yun's imperial power strategy. This pulling and tugging made Li Xiang grateful to him and also made him obedient.

Moreover, there was another deeper meaning behind Lin Yun's matchmaking to help Li Xiang and Qi Bing get together, and that was to maintain balance.

The Qi family is now powerful, and both father and son are in high positions of power. Naturally, Lin Yun will not accept it.

By throwing Li Chun, a son-in-law with a sensitive identity and a criminal record, to the Qi family, it would be easy for Lin Yun to find a reason to get rid of him in the future.
