"What? As long as your state official sets fire, I'm not allowed to fight back?"
Hearing Cheng Yi's words, Chai Lingwu suddenly became even more insane. He kept panting heavily, his eyes completely dyed scarlet, and stared at Cheng Yi firmly.
"I'm fighting with you!!!!"
Before everyone came back to their senses, Chai Lingwu jumped up and rushed towards Cheng Yi like crazy, looking as if he wanted to die with Cheng Yi.
"In front of adults! How can you allow yourself to be presumptuous!"
After the words were finished, Li Feng stepped forward and kicked Chai Lingwu who was rushing forward.
Immediately afterwards, people saw an afterimage flying past in front of their eyes, and when they fixed their eyes again, they saw that Chai Lingwu was so painful that he could not make a sound and fell to the ground.
Of course, it would be unavoidable to directly kick people to death, Li Feng grasped the measure very well.
But despite this, Chai Lingwu felt like his internal organs were beginning to turn upside down with his kick.
"Bold criminal! How dare you attack the imperial court official in court! Hurry up and put him in prison!"
Kuang Shulai, who was in a cold sweat from the fright, yelled and ordered people to arrest Chai Lingwu again after he came back to his senses.
Of course, even without his order, Chai Lingwu, who was kicked by Li Feng, couldn't even crawl.
Chai Lingwu, who vented more air than he took in, was dragged by the yamen guards like a dead fish to the prison.
At this point, Kuang Shulai finally finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After disposing of Chai Lingwu, Cheng Yi bid farewell to Kuang Shulai, let Li Feng return to the Shence Army camp, and went to Daming Palace alone to meet Li Shimin.
……
Tai Chi Temple.
Li Shimin looked solemnly, looking at Cheng Yi in front of him.
Cheng Yi, on the other hand, looked indifferent, holding a small teapot and pouring himself a drink.
"Chai Lingwu really can't live anymore?"
After a while, Li Shimin finally asked.
Cheng Yi put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Li Shimin seriously: "Your Majesty, it's not because I don't want to forgive him this time, it's because he has sinned deeply."
In Cheng Yi's case, a dozen or so lives would never be treated as if nothing happened just by talking about it.
"Back then, Sister Huang was the root cause of my illness for the Southern and Northern Wars of the Tang Dynasty. After great difficulty, she gave birth to two sons, but she left early."
Li Shimin sighed.
"Sister Huang has always loved her little son like a treasure. If she is told that Ling Wu will not end well, I am afraid she will be heartbroken."
Cheng Yi cast a sideways glance at Li Shimin.
He naturally knew that Li Shimin and his elder sister who climbed out of the same mother's womb had always had a deep sibling relationship, but this was not enough reason for Cheng Yi to let Chai Lingwu go.
"It is precisely because of Princess Pingyang's bottomless love that Chai Lingwu is what he is today."
Cheng Yi straightened his back and looked at Li Shimin, with a cold light in his eyes.
"If Princess Pingyang hadn't come forward to cover up the murder for Chai Lingwu because of her own selfish desires, Chai Lingwu would not have become as mad as she is today."
Li Shimin understands Cheng Yi's temperament, and understands what Cheng Yi's bottom line is.
If Chai Lingwu was only targeting Cheng Yi, he might not be so angry, but Chai Lingwu violated his big taboo.
"Your Majesty, Chai Lingwu's life is life. Isn't the life of the common people not life?"
Cheng Yi said in a deep voice.
Li Shimin was startled, and immediately felt ashamed.
He indulged in the guilt for Princess Pingyang, but completely ignored the people who died at the hands of Chai Lingwu.
"I know."
Li Shimin nodded, and his expression gradually became solemn.
Cheng Yi let out a breath and relaxed again.
But to be honest, even if Li Shimin really made up his mind to protect Chai Lingwu, he would have his own way to kill Chai Lingwu.
However, in this way, it is more or less troublesome.
"I will make the decree myself, lest people in the Duke of Qiao's mansion think that you have tampered with it."
Li Shimin said to Cheng Yi again.
Cheng Yi shrugged indifferently, and said, "Even if the people in the Duke of Qiao know that I did it, I won't be afraid."
Qiao Guogong's mansion is about to collapse, and Cheng Yi is at the height of his power, so what is there to be afraid of?
"His Majesty."
Thinking of this, Cheng Yi looked at Li Shimin again.
"Some things may happen in Qiao Guogong's mansion in the future, and I hope His Majesty will not obstruct it."
Hearing his words, Li Shimin couldn't help being taken aback.
"Hasn't Chai Lingwu been arrested? You still want to attack Duke Qiao's mansion?"
Cheng Yi sighed softly, and said: "Except for Qiao Guogong and Qiao Guogong's son, the current Qiao Guogong's mansion is completely rotten from the inside to the outside. They will continue to commit many crimes in the future."
Indeed, judging from the evidence collected by Shen Zihe and Li Feng earlier.
Except for Chai Shao and his eldest son Chai Zhewei, there is not even a clean person in the entire Qiaoguo mansion.
After a long silence, Li Shimin finally sighed and agreed to Cheng Yi's request.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Cheng Yi said a few more words to Li Shimin, and then left the palace.
Coming out of the palace, Cheng Yi strolled all the way to the General's Mansion.
The next morning, facing Li Feng and the others who came to ask if they wanted to continue attacking Duke Qiao's mansion, Cheng Yi naturally said only two words.
"continue."
Cheng Yi glanced at the people in front of him, his face darkened.
"Find out all the guilty people, and this time the matter will be completely over."
Cheng Yi said seriously.
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately took orders and left.
In the next half month, Duke Qiao's Mansion suddenly became the most precarious place in Chang'an City.
Whether it's the old in-laws or the people in the mansion, people start to panic all day long.
No one knew when the guillotine hanging above their heads would come down.
After a whole month of turmoil, the huge Duke of Qiao's mansion finally lost its former glory.
Before this turmoil, there were a lot of people in the city, but after the dust settled, there were a lot of people in Qiao Guogong's mansion, although in the whole process, Chai Shao and Chai Zhewei were not even in the slightest.
However, the Chai family, who was a hero in the founding of the country, has become an existence that no one in Chang'an city wants to mention anymore.
For this result, Cheng Yi naturally expected it long ago. Although many Chai Shao and Chai Zhewei were implicated, as the drivers of this behemoth, they were not innocent anyway.
On this day, after everything was settled, Cheng Yi unexpectedly went to Duke Qiao's mansion alone.
"It turned out to be General Cheng."
When he came to Duke Qiao's mansion, the first person Cheng Yi saw was Chai Zhewei.
He squinted at the other party, clearly seeing the sarcasm and unwillingness in the other party's eyes.
Cheng Yi didn't argue with Chai Zhewei. After all, no one who encountered such a thing, right or wrong, could face the culprit calmly.
Not long after he sat down, Chai Shao also appeared in front of Cheng Yi.
However, in just one month, the originally high-spirited General Youwei looked as if he had aged a full ten years.
Looking at Chai Shao's white hair, Cheng Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"General Cheng."
Chai Shao and Cheng Yi nodded in greeting, and immediately waved Chai Zhewei back.
"Is Duke Qiao okay?"
Cheng Yi asked.
Hearing his question, Chai Shao couldn't help laughing bitterly, he spread his hands and looked at Cheng Yi: "General Cheng thinks, is this old man good or bad?"
Cheng Yi shrugged and chose not to answer the question.
Chapter 78
"Why is General Cheng here?"
After the series of events between Chai Lingwu and Qiao Guogong, Chai Shao never thought that he would see Cheng Yi again.
Of course, he didn't have much chance to meet Cheng Yi before again.
After all, when Cheng Yi was in Chang'an City, he was very in-depth and simple. Except for the occasional morning court, he never even attended some social gatherings on weekdays.
Of course, there were also many people who chose to come to make friends, but without exception, Cheng Yi rejected them all.
It is also because of this that many people in Chang'an City now feel resentment towards Cheng Yi.
However, he occasionally heard that as long as Cheng Yi was free, he would take his wife out of the city for an outing.
When these news came out, countless noble ladies in Chang'an city turned red with envy.
"I just want to see Duke Qiao."
Cheng Yi said with a gentle expression.
Chai Shao sighed softly, because of frequent frowning, a deep crease had formed between his brows.
"Now in the entire Chang'an City, I am afraid that no one except General Cheng will dare to set foot in this Duke Qiao's mansion."
Cheng Yizai carefully scrutinized Chai Shao's expression, and found that there was no trace of resentment in his eyes or expression.
