Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My lord, the younger ones have long heard that the lord is a virtuous person. That day when the lord was in charge of overseeing the work, the young people knew that the lord was just and selfless, caring for the common people, and that the lord was a member of the royal family. The younger ones wanted to ask the lord in private. I sued Li Yi, but I never expected that he would even dare to arrest the prince. The little ones prepared for several days before rescuing the prince. Now that it is urgent, the prince should return to the capital quickly and send someone to rescue us !"

Jia Jun stepped forward, "My lord, it's not too late. Li Yi's people are everywhere now. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back. At that time, the court will believe whatever Li Yi plays."

Defang nodded, "Okay, let's leave the city right now."

But the accident happened inadvertently. When Defang was worried, the door was suddenly opened. How could it be sudden?Because the door was knocked open, a few wine workers ran in. They looked at Defang and the others who were sitting on the ground, and untied the rope when they got up, pulled them and ran away. Defang didn't understand what was going on. I just feel dizzy in my head, but Jiajun, Chongming, and Shang En often practice martial arts after all, and their health is better, and they don't talk much, so they run out afterward. It was night when they went out, and I don't know how long they ran. They brought Defang and the others to a dilapidated house. Defang couldn't bear to run, and sat on the stool panting for breath. The wine worker lit a weak candle, and gradually saw the faces of several wine workers clearly. What Defang saw before was different, the faces of these wine workers were not indifferent, but looked at him anxiously.

The wine worker saw Defang watching them, and immediately knelt down, "My lord!"

Defang took a few deep breaths to calm down her breathing, and asked, "Are you wine workers?"

"The little ones are," answered the bartender

"Thank you for saving the king"

"My lord, hurry up, or you won't be able to leave." The wine worker was very anxious

"My king is going to dispatch troops! I have to arrest Li Yi and others!" Defang was very angry.

"My lord, there are Li Yi's people everywhere in Qinzhou. He bribed the government and reached out to the high officials of the court. Even the military officers in Qinzhou are his eyes. Your lord, you can't even reach the military station where the soldiers are dispatched. You should take advantage of it." They haven't found out at night, so hurry back to Beijing."

"If the king leaves, what will you do?"

"The villain...the villain...the villain is no longer alive!" the wine worker suddenly cried

The wine worker told Defang that Li Yi was a native of Changdao County, and the Li family itself was not rich, but Li Yi used all his family property to buy the current winery official to do it. He is very flexible and earns a lot of money. Wan Jiachan, he doesn't want to be a high-ranking official, he just wants to be a rich man, and then use money to buy many officials to support him. There are hundreds of servants in the Li family, and Li Yi wants to buy the guard Wang Tongda, but Wang Tongda I ignored it, so I turned to bribe the lower-level military officers, magistrates and yamen servants. These people also relied on Li Yi's connections and power to bully others and do all kinds of evil. And there is one more thing, the good wine in Chengjing was not made by Li Yi, but by Qin Li. It was brewed by Zhou Liqiang, the direct disciple of Baidaotu, the state wine celestial being. Li Yi put Zhou Liqiang's family members under house arrest, forced Zhou Liqiang to brew wine for him, and obtained a gift from the court through his hand.

Hearing this, Defang was furious, "Hateful! Damn! A little Li Yi can make the officials work for him, go up to the court, suppress the people, and bully the king!"
