Nirvana is alluring, nine thousand years old, please respect yourself

Chapter 31
Due to his status, Ji Li had to sit at the place closest to the emperor. At this time, he leaned on the seat without any regard for his image, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, his expression became languid.

Did you start early?
Lian Qingcheng sipped the wine on the table, and glanced lazily at Su Lingxiao.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, a commotion outside caught everyone's attention.

"Who is making noise?" Ji Li, who had been languid all this time, suddenly asked.

General Shen Nanfei, who never made a sound on weekdays, stood up for the first time today, "My Majesty, my lord, it seems that some people are gathering a crowd to make trouble."

Ji Li glanced sideways at the emperor, but saw that the emperor was looking at him with a smile, but his eyes were deep and cold, and there was no trace of a smile at all.

"Bring him up to me." Since Ji Li wants to do something, it's better to accompany him.Thinking about it, the emperor's smile grew stronger.

I saw that those people were really pitiful, unkempt, skinny, covered with whip marks, kneeling in front of civil and military officials and envoys from all over the world.

"I don't know what day it is today, is there anyone?! If there is no big event but you startle the holy car, believe it or not, the king will peel off your skins and use them as drums?"

Ji Li said coldly, Lian Qingcheng felt that there was a reason why everyone was afraid of Ji Li.

Just the killing intent gushing out in that instant is enough to make people shudder.

The kneeling man began to cry and tell what had happened to him.

It turned out that the family members of these people were all laborers who supervised the production of Wanguotai. It is said that it was fine at first, and the wages were subsidized to the family every day, but then the money became less and less, and finally they disappeared.

The man said that her man asked someone to write a letter on his behalf, with some silver taels attached. He only said that a high-ranking official liked his skills, and it was not easy to make it to the top. He asked her to wait for news, but he disappeared.

In short, the nearly 40 or [-] people who supervised the production of Wanguotai gradually disappeared. This is not counting those who did not come, at least hundreds of people.

The emperor couldn't help being a little puzzled, "Is there still such a thing? You have been missing for more than half a month, why are you here now? If you tell half a lie, I will not forgive you."

The last woman holding a child couldn't help crying. It turned out that at the beginning, there were people who sent taels of silver to their homes every day. , Then waited left and right and no one came.

But what I received was a message, saying that the person is gone, and the money will not be sent again, and no one will pay attention to these poor ghosts. If you want to sue, you can sue.

At first they were reluctant to send money, but after a long time, they seemed to get used to it, thinking that they had it every day anyway, but suddenly they stopped giving money, and those who were used to money coming out of hand couldn’t sit still.

Later, they learned from an embroidered lady that Wan Guo Qi Si was about to start, and they joined forces and chose a date to go to Beijing together, thinking that it would be best to meet the emperor, otherwise who would dare to mess with the young master of the Su family.

The more Su Lingxiao heard it, the more frightening she became. Who sent someone to give them money? !Who encouraged them to enter Beijing? !Every step is directed at oneself, who is it? !

Although everyone who knelt down was crying, Lian Qingcheng knew clearly when she saw the inconspicuous Xiuniang kneeling in the corner.

May I ask which embroidered mother has calluses that can only be worn out by a person holding a knife at the tiger's mouth?As expected, Ji Li was still worried, and played tricks among this group of people.

Lian Qingcheng looked coldly at these common people crying about their misfortune, but his heartbroken expression could not draw Lian Qingcheng's sympathy at all.

If their money hadn't been broken, how could these people care about whether their relatives were missing?Do you care if your loved ones are doing life-threatening things?

The emperor sneered coldly, "Su Aiqing, can you explain to me?"

Su Lingxiao's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Report to the emperor, I... I am guilty..."

The emperor smiled coldly, "This matter is of great importance, we can't just listen to one side's opinion, come here, and take Su Aiqing down first," then turned his head and glanced at Ji Li, "Let's hand it over to Mrs. Lian to handle this matter personally. Good. ?”

The emperor laughed more and more gloomy, but his heart was clear.

"Observe the order." Lian Huanzhi secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up, saluting respectfully.

Lian Qingcheng looked at the emperor with a smile that was not a smile. He was worthy of being the lord of a country, and he easily shook the relationship between the Lian and Su families.

"Okay, I'm tired." The emperor seemed a little strange, the maid at the side immediately brought a cup of something, and the emperor said after drinking it.

The officials sent them off respectfully, and Ji Li took a deep look at the cup that the maid handed over just now, and while walking down, beckoned Lian Qingcheng to go over.

Seeing Xuan Yuheng walking a few steps to grab Lian Qingcheng, Ji Li's expression tightened, and several guards immediately stood in front of him, "Prince, please stay."

Xuan Yuheng just laughed and didn't speak, but the hand holding the jade bone fan tightened and tightened.

It is getting farther and farther away from the capital, and Wanguotai is already in the suburbs, but now it is getting more and more remote.Ji Li and Lian Qingcheng's carriage walked unhurriedly.

"What do you think of today's events?" Ji Li watched the tea stem in the cup float and sink, thoughtfully, and suddenly said something.

Lian Qingcheng paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "The emperor is the emperor, that is, I have given you enough face, but also quietly disintegrated the alliance between the Lian and Su families. On the one hand, the emperor, on the other hand, the Su family. About Su Lingxiao This matter, Grand Tutor Lian, can neither be serious nor light, but it really threw a hot potato into the hands of the Grand Tutor."

"There is one thing you read wrong." Ji Li's hand holding the teacup tightened, and the teacup shattered at the sound, and the tea mixed with blood slowly dripped on the carriage. Who is the biggest beneficiary? If the king's guess is correct, the next imperial decree is to let the Su family contribute money to subsidize the national treasury."

Beichen and Eastern Zhou are only separated by the Bauhinia Pass, and Eastern Zhou and Western Xinjiang have been in close contact for the past few years, and Nanhan has always been on the sidelines. Therefore, it is necessary for Eastern Zhou to protect itself and expand its military strength. It's silver.

"I have something to say... I don't know if I should ask it or not."

Ji Li smiled, "Why am I so similar to the emperor, isn't it?"

Lian Qingcheng picked up the teapot, Yuanyang poured a cup with three nods, and filled it up to [-]% for Ji Li.

Still waiting for Ji Li to continue speaking, a sudden change occurred.

"Who! How dare you block the way of Lord Qiantui?!"

Ji Li said, "Stay here, don't come down no matter what you hear."

"You..." Lian Qingcheng hesitated, "Be careful."

Ji Li smiled, "Relax."

There was a sound of weapons colliding, and no screams could be heard, only the sweet blood that slowly filled the air told Lian Qingcheng how fierce the battle outside was.

The horse became frightened and went mad, the carriage ran more and more bumpy, Lian Qingcheng firmly held the carriage, although she was afraid, she forced herself not to make a sound.

Seeing that the carriage fell to one side, Lian Qingcheng jumped out, his face was covered with bruises, and was about to get up, when Ji Li shouted, "Lian Qingcheng, bow your head."
