Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 363 Resolved
"Hmph! Farewell!" The Patriarch of the Ma family cupped his hands and left with his sleeves shaken, but no one stopped him.

Since these people here are unwilling to do it, then he will do it himself. They are afraid of Li Ke, but he is not afraid of Ma Kuang.

A bunch of eggless cowards, isn't it just a prince who killed him without anyone noticing, who knows who did it, the court can kill them all.

There is a strong dragon that does not overwhelm the local snakes. In Qingxi County, they are the local snakes. No matter how strong he is, Li Ke comes to Qingxi County. If it is a dragon, he will coil up, and if it is a tiger, he will lie down.

Don't think it's a great thing to be a prince. If you dare to touch the interests of his Ma family, you will make him regret coming to this world. Even the king of heaven is useless.

"Look, this horse maniac, what kind of attitude is this?" A wealthy businessman yelled.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just like this, let's discuss what to do next? How should we make up for this loss." said the wealthy businessman surnamed Zhang.

While everyone was discussing countermeasures and trying to make up for the loss, the Patriarch of the Ma family summoned his servants to guard the courtyard, and after nightfall, he launched a surprise attack on Li Ke, trying to kill Li Ke.

As for the consequences of Li Ke's death, he has also thought about it carefully, and has arranged the way out, even finding a way for the dead ghost.

Ma Kuang had to admire his own wisdom, he was able to come up with such a wonderful solution, after Li Ke was dealt with, he saw who would dare not take him seriously in Qingxi.

After the third watch, Ma Kuang took his family guards and went straight to Li Ke's residence. Ma Kuang knew the surrounding terrain and how many guards there were.

Ma Kuang and others came to Li Ke's residence. Except for the candlelight in one building, the other places were pitch black, and a figure was reflected on the window paper.

"Go!" With a wave of Ma Kuang's hand, the guards followed the planned plan and rushed towards the attic.

When they rushed halfway, countless torches lit up all around, and countless soldiers with helmets and armor and sharp knives surrounded them like a tide.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, not daring to act rashly, for fear that the other party would charge and hack him to death.

"Bold and rebellious officials and thieves dare to attack the residence of the current prince late at night. It is a death penalty. All the soldiers obey the order and immediately shoot and kill this group of thieves!" Long Zhi gave orders while standing in the corridor on the attic.

The archers immediately opened their bows and set up their arrows, and aimed at Ma Kuang and his group. These people were so bold that they dared to attack the residence of King Wu. He was an imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty himself.

It represents the imperial court, His Majesty the Emperor, and attacking the prince is tantamount to attacking the imperial court, which is tantamount to treason.

"Everyone, don't be stunned! Come on, kill Li Ke, I will reward you ten thousand taels." Ma Kuang shouted, standing here can only lead to death, it is better to kill to the attic, maybe there is still a glimmer of life .

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

When the benefits are enough, they can even give up their own lives. Following the heavy promise made by Ma Kuang, many people continued to rush to the attic. When others saw someone taking the lead, they followed and rushed to the attic.

"Let go!" Following an order, the archer shot out the arrow in his hand.

Under the blow of a strong bow and crossbow, all the guards brought by Ma Kuang were shot and killed on the spot, leaving only Ma Kuang trembling with fright.

Seeing this, Long Zhi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waved his big hand, and someone stepped forward to take him down immediately.

"Take him down and ask him what we want as soon as possible." Long Zhi turned to his opponent and said.

"No!" The subordinate clasped his fists and saluted.

Long Zhi turned and entered the attic to report the situation to Li Ke.

"See you, my lord!" Long Zhi saluted Li Ke.

"Commander Long, how are things going?" Li Ke asked.

"The man has already been taken down, and the humble official has ordered someone to take him down for strict interrogation. I believe that the answer and their crimes will be obtained soon." Long Zhi said.

"That's good! After he confesses, everyone will be arrested and brought to justice immediately. You don't need to ask me for instructions. You can do it directly!"

"I have been in Qingxi for a few months, it is time to end, return to Beijing to report to His Majesty!" Li Ke said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I know how to do it! However, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on these people in my hands, so I ask my lord to adjust the troops." Long Zhi said.

"Understood, you don't have to worry about the soldiers and horses. There will be a large army marching into Qingxi tomorrow morning, and you will be fully responsible for this." Li Ke said.

"No! I will resign from my humble position!" Long Zhi saluted and retreated.

After a night of interrogation, Ma Kuang fully explained everything he knew and participated in.

Without a trace of reservation, the punishment here was too unforgettable for him, and even left an indelible shadow in his heart. He really didn't want to experience these punishments again.

After getting the criminal evidence of Qingxi officials and wealthy businessmen, Long Zhi immediately issued orders in place of Li Ke, and dispatched troops to arrest all relevant people.

When the county magistrate and others learned that their affairs had been exposed, they united together and wanted to fight against the imperial army.

In the end, under the attack of the army, it was completely wiped out, and all the participating officials and wealthy businessmen were executed and ransacked their homes.

Li Ke immediately wrote a memorial and sent the situation of Qingxi to Chang'an in eight hundred miles to report to Li Chengqian.

……

Chang'an City, Tai Chi Palace, Liangyi Hall.

"Di Qing, how is the investigation going?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Your Majesty has already investigated everything. This case of concealing the flood in Qingxi has a lot of ramifications. It involves the family members of many high officials in the court. This is the file of the case. Your Majesty, please have a look." Di Renjie said.

Li Chengqian ordered him to thoroughly investigate the matter, and he did not dare to delay for a moment. After his careful investigation and verification, he finally obtained evidence and convicted him.

It's just that the involvement is so wide that it can be said that it will affect the whole body. He was worried that it would cause shocks in the government and the public, which would destabilize the government, so he came to report to Li Chengqian.

"No matter who it is, they will be beheaded if caught, and there will be no mercy!" Li Chengqian said while flipping through Di Renjie's file.

For this group of black sheep, the soul of the crime of daring to deceive the king must not be tolerated.

Now they can unite to conceal the disaster in Qingxi, and continue to extort violently from the people who suffered from the flood.

In the end, it led to complaints from the people, and they rose up one after another.

In the future, it will be able to shake the foundation of Datang and put Datang on the road to destruction.

There is absolutely no tolerance for this group of black sheep, and they must be killed.

"Your Majesty! I beg your pardon to say it bluntly. If you kill them all, it may be inappropriate. Many of these people are just accomplices, and they are not qualified to be executed according to the law." Di Renjie said.

"As the emperor, don't I have the right to execute this gang of souls?" Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty naturally has this right, but in this way, the justice of the law will be violated. There are many people here who deserve to die." Di Renjie persuaded.

After Di Renjie's explanation, Li Chengqian was no longer obsessed with killing everyone.

"The principal offender and the person with the heaviest crime will all be confiscated and their property will be confiscated, and everyone else will be exiled." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Di Renjie said.
