Red waist breaking line

Chapter 134

On the second day, Xiao Yezi dressed up and went to see Queen Mother Zhen.She went there with enthusiasm, but she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zhen didn't want to see her at all, she only dealt with a few words, rewarded a few bolts of silk and boxes of pearls and jade, and asked her to leave the palace.Yun Xi was busy with other things, so she couldn't be distracted to accompany her.She went into the palace alone, but found nothing, and felt even more unhappy.

Xiao Ye Zi resentfully walked out of the gate of the palace, and it happened that Li Li also walked out of the palace.He said lightly that he didn't need to come to the palace to pay homage, but the empress dowager and the new monarch recalled his achievements in recovering the creation building from Ren Qingmei's hands and preserving the royal family and the heavenly king's large amount of tax money and food, so they called him into the palace to give him a little reward .Seeing that Li Li's rewards were more than her own, Xiao Yezi couldn't help but sigh—it's really the uncle who gives the money.

Hearing her conclusion, Li Li chuckled: "What are you thinking about?" He is now Yunxi's subordinate, so he naturally lives in the Prince Regent's mansion, so he asked his subordinates to transport back all the rewards for himself and Xiao Yezi. Fuchu.Last night, after receiving the imperial decree about rewarding Xiao Yezi, Li Li also wanted to ask a lot of questions, so he met Xiao Ye Zi and walked back home, chatting while walking.Among the questions, the most critical one is of course whether Yun Xi bullied Xiao Ye Zi.After all, Yunxi has a dark history, and he is afraid of bringing up the unpleasant memories of Xiao Yezi, even if Li Li asks, he has to be careful with his words.But seeing Xiao Ye Zi's normal expression, he was half relieved.

"So, someone is playing tricks behind the scenes?" Li Li said.

Xiao Yezi nodded: "It should be. But now there is no clue, so I don't know who this person is. For the current plan, I can only take one step at a time."

Li Li nodded: "Since you want to persuade Lu Zheng to surrender..." He took out the wooden pendant from his waist and handed it to Xiao Yezi, "You take this wooden pendant first, or it may be useful in the future. Xi's wife, if Yang Yizhao comes back, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Yezi put the wooden pendant in her purse, and sighed: "I'm not worried about this... I believe Yang Yizhao will not stand by when the Tianwang Gang is in trouble. I just did something for him. Just hurry up If the real culprit is caught and this embarrassing relationship is resolved, then this matter will be over." She didn't want Li Li to be distracted, so she quickly changed the subject, "I met Sister Xue this morning, and I heard that she is going back to Cloud City?"

Li Li nodded and said: "Well, my father-in-law is feeling unwell, she is worried, so she wants to go back and have a look. She originally thought of leaving after attending the gang leader's wedding, and it's time to go on the road now."

Seeing him talking eloquently, Xiao Ye Zi couldn't help joking, "Why, don't you want your daughter-in-law to come back?"

Li Li blushed: "...Nonsense."

Xiao Yezi wanted to say more, when suddenly a person passed her by.Before Xiao Yezi could see the person's appearance clearly, she was knocked to the ground by this person, and she was dizzy.Li Li hastily pulled her up.Xiao Yezi murmured: "Who is this, he doesn't look at the road when he walks..." She touched her waist lightly, and suddenly exclaimed, "My purse! The purse is gone!"

Li Li hurriedly looked for the person who bumped into her just now, but the crowd was vast, but where could he find it?

Xiao Ye Zi lost her wooden pendant and was in a hurry to speak again, when she suddenly heard a scream from the street ahead: "Oops!"

The two men's hearts trembled, they looked at each other, and both of them rushed forward after hearing the sound.

There was a circle of people on the street ahead, not knowing what they were looking at.

Xiao Ye Zi was still outside the circle, when she heard a few bold people poking and pointing secretly among the crowd.

"The world is going down, alas, the world is going down. It's a crime to beat people like this for a pot of wine."

"Shh, keep your voice down, if Young Master Zhen hears it, you will be the one to be unlucky."

"Hmph, isn't it because my sister is the queen mother? Normally, she is domineering and domineering over common people, but now she has won three points, and she refuses to forgive others. With such a person in power, sooner or later the country will fail."

"The emperor's relatives, even the newly promoted regent have to be courteous, what can you and I do?"

Who is so courageous that even the Regent is not in his eyes.Xiao Ye Zi pulled Li Li and squeezed into the crowd, and took a closer look.Several servants surrounded an old man and beat them vigorously, while a young man in brocade clothes was holding a dancer in his arms and shouting and commanding.Li Li recognized that the beaten old man was Uncle Ding, the father of the two hall masters Ding Xiang and Ding Fang in Yunzhong City. He just wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect that Little Ye Zi had already stepped forward and kicked away a servant to protect the old man. He glared and said, "The Son of Heaven is bullying others, is there any law for the king?"

Young Master Jin Yi saw a beautiful lady standing in front of the old man, his eyes lit up immediately, he dismissed the servants, and said with an evil smile: "Where did the young lady come from, she is so beautiful."

Xiao Ye Zi helped Uncle Ding up, heard Mr. Zhen's rude words, immediately gave him a sideways glance, and said coldly: "Where did you come from, you little bastard, he's evil-minded."

Hearing her sarcasm, Mr. Zhen immediately changed his face, and with a wave of his hand, immediately a servant stepped forward and wanted to push Xiao Yezi: "You are so bold, you dare to be rude to our Mr. Zhen..."

Before he finished speaking, a red shadow flashed past, and the servant was punched to the ground before he could react.Xiao Yezi turned her head to look, and saw that Li Lihao patted the dust on his hands in a leisurely manner, and snorted: "What is Mr. Zhen and Mr. Fake, I don't know him."

Master Zhen Yi trembled angrily, pointed at Li Li tremblingly with a finger, and said, "Don't give it to me yet!"

The servants shouted, seeing that Li Li rushed forward one after another.Li Li stood on the ground, neither dodging nor avoiding, just took the snow on his body and held it in his hand, without drawing the knife, he bowed slightly, and swiped the scabbard lightly from left to right.The servants couldn't see exactly what kind of tricks Li Li was using, but felt that they were knocked down one by one by Li Li's scabbard, writhing on the ground and screaming in pain.

Mr. Zhen lost his servant's protection and saw Li Li's superb swordsmanship. He was frightened out of his wits, and the dancer also pushed aside and said tremblingly: "You... who are you? If you have the courage, leave your name! Wait for the young master to go back and bring all the troops, and then come to settle accounts with you!"

Li Li snorted: "My name is Li Li. Please remember."

Young master Zhen didn't dare to stay, turned around and ran away.Seeing that Li Li and Xiao Yezi chased Mr. Zhen away, everyone applauded.Li Li hastily cupped his hands in thanks and asked everyone to disperse, then stepped forward to help Xiao Yezi lift Uncle Ding up, and said softly, "Uncle Ding, are you alright?"

Uncle Ding shook his head: "Alas... I have suffered such an accident for no reason. Thank you Li Shaoxia and the girl for their righteous rescue."

Li Li smiled slightly, and said humbly: "It doesn't have to be like this, it's our job."

Thinking of the news heard in the crowd just now, Xiao Ye Zi was not only puzzled, but asked immediately: "Just now, I heard people say that this incident started because of a pot of wine?"

Uncle Ding nodded and said: "This matter is also strange... The small shop is not big, and it has been able to operate in the capital for several years, all relying on the wine making method passed down by the ancestors. Thanks to the ancestors, the wine of the small shop is also located in the capital. He has made some famous names, and sometimes some dignitaries are willing to come to the shop to drink. This Mr. Zhen is also one of the distinguished guests. Today he came to the shop to drink as usual, and I also prepared his favorite seven-year-old wine for him as usual. Who would have thought that Mr. Zhen said that the taste of the wine was not right under the first grade. Mr. Zhen is a relative of the emperor, so I dared not offend him, so I hurriedly bought another pot for him. But after Mr. Zhen tasted the wine, he became even more furious, saying I put medicine in the wine to amuse him... But I am really wronged. The small shop has been open in the capital for so many years, and it has been operating honestly. He is used to running amok in his daily life, and he can't suffer at all, so he won't listen to my explanation, and he made a move at the slightest disagreement..."

Xiao Ye Zi greeted Xiao Er, and brought up the wine that Mr. Zhen detested just now.She smelled it first, then put a little bit of it on her tongue and tasted it, and said: "This is not a medicine, it's just some sour plum powder, non-toxic and harmless, it's just mixed with the smell of wine."

Li Li thought about it: "Maybe some people are dissatisfied with Mr. Zhen's domineering and do some pranks to play tricks on him. It's not important. Let's find a doctor to bandage Uncle Ding first."

Xiao Yezi said bitterly: "Why are you so unlucky today, first you lost the wooden pendant, and now you have encountered such a bad thing, it's enough."

Li Li comforted and said: "After I return to the mansion, I will look for the wooden pendant after drawing pictures. This thing is not gold or jade, and it will not be resold if I think about it. It's just a matter of persuading surrender. We need to find another way gone."

After a while, the doctor sent by Li Li arrived.Seeing the doctor's diagnosis and treatment for Uncle Ding, Xiao Ye Zi and Li Li just left the inn and returned to the Prince Regent's Mansion.Li Li said that there were still government affairs to be dealt with, so Xiao Yezi let him go.But for some reason, the incident at the inn just now still lingers in Xiao Yezi's mind, but she has no clues, and she can't find any connection between the incidents.Speaking of it, it was just a trivial matter, or as Li Li said, it was a prank.But these strange things happened one after another around her, so she couldn't help worrying that it had something to do with Yunxi.Or wait for Yunxi to come back and talk to him, maybe Yunxi will know the answer.

She sat in the living room waiting for Yunxi to come back, but she didn't want to wait until the next night.Following the notification from his family, Yun Xi walked in from the door with a tired look on his face.Xiao Ye Zi originally wanted to tell Yun Xi directly what happened today, but she couldn't bear to see him so tired, so she brought him a bowl of hot soup that had been prepared before, and brought it to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi has been dealing with political affairs for two days and one night, already physically and mentally exhausted, at this moment, smelling the aroma of hot soup, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Ye Zi a few more times, a little pleasantly surprised: "This is you made?"

This question made Xiao Ye Zi blush and feel guilty - in fact, it was prepared by the housekeeper, she just picked it up, she didn't expect Yun Xi to be so happy.She had no choice but to say frankly: "Actually... no. But if you like it, I can do it for you too."

Yun Xi smiled slightly: "...Okay."

His smile was so gentle that it made her heart beat faster.She hastily coughed to cover it up.

Yun Xi looked at her with interest for a while, then lowered his head to finish the soup, and said with a smile: "You waited so late, did you need me?"

It can be regarded as a chance to talk, Xiao Yezi quickly jumped up, and told Yunxi exactly what happened today: "...Do you think I am supercilious? But I feel that these two things seem to be related .But I can't find anything in common."

Yun Xi pondered for a moment: "These two things seem to have nothing to do with each other on the surface. But the enemy is dark and we are clear, so we must not take it lightly. Just continue to pay attention to see if there are other things..."

Before Yunxi finished speaking, the housekeeper suddenly ran over in a panic: "It's not good, it's not good, Li Tianwang taught Master Zhen to take it."

As soon as Xiao Yezi heard that Li Li had something to do, she immediately got angry: "What's going on? Are you talking about Li Li? What Zhen Guozhang? What did you take away?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Today the salary office routinely distributes the regular silver, and I took the cashier to get the bill for our lord. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw Zhen Guozhang coming out of the palace in a panic with a Biao Yulin army. So I came to our mansion. I was afraid that Mr. Zhen had something to do, so I hurried back, but when I arrived at the mansion, I saw that Mr. Zhen had left. I asked the guard at the gate, and the man said that Mr. Zhen came to look for Li Tianwang. But At that time Li Tianwang was not in the mansion due to business, Zhen Guozhang rushed to nothing, scolded a few words in front of the mansion, and then left. I was still thinking why Zhen Guozhang didn't look for the prince, but only looked for Li Tianwang. I know, it is said that Zhen Guozhang led the imperial army to search and arrest on the street overnight, and finally caught Li Tianwang in a wine shop, withheld his weapon and took him back to Dali Temple. My lord, did this Li Tianwang commit a crime and offend him? Zhen Guozhang? If this is the case, the prince must be careful. Zhen Guozhang is powerful and deeply rooted. Although the prince is in the regent, he is still a newcomer, so it is better not to confront Zhen Guozhang head-on."

"Master Zhen... Mr. Zhen... Could it be that they belong to the same family? Li Li was arrested and taken to Dali Temple? Where is Dali Temple? Are they trying to kill Li Li?" Xiao Yezi asked urgently.

The steward shook his head and said, "This... I don't know... but there must be a reason for arresting him to Dali Temple."

While Yun Xi was thinking about it, a disciple of the Heavenly King's Clan hurried over and bowed respectfully in front of Yun Xi: "I have met the Clan Master. The villain came here at the order of Chai Tianwang, and I have something urgent to report to the Clan Master."

Yun Xi nodded and said, "Speak."

The disciples of the Tianwang Gang bowed their heads and said: "Li Tianwang is suspected of killing Zhen Yan, the son of Zhen Guozhang, and has been ordered to be imprisoned by the Queen Mother. Seven days later, the three ministers of Dali Temple will have a joint trial. If there are all witnesses and material evidence at that time, they will be convicted and sentenced."

"Li Li killed Young Master Zhen? How could Li Li..." Xiao Yezi said anxiously, "This Young Master Zhen bullies others, and there must be many enemies. Why do you say that Li Li killed him?"

The disciple of the Tianwang Gang said: "The details here are unknown to the subordinates. Chai Tianwang has rushed to the vicinity of Dali Temple to inquire about the news, please be safe and calm."

Xiao Ye Zi said anxiously: "How could it be possible to stay calm? This..."

Yun Xi nodded, dismissing the steward and disciples.He watched Little Leaf pacing back and forth in front of his eyes like ants in a hot pot, without changing his expression.

Xiao Ye Zi couldn't help but said: "It's impossible for Li Li to kill people..."
