Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 402

"Don't cause trouble, don't be afraid of trouble" state, in fact, most people don't have it.

People in the world are busy, there are always arrogant people who are aggressive, and there are also cowardly people who swallow their anger. People who can truly avoid trouble and are not afraid of trouble are at least famous figures in this world.

Li Qinzai didn't have this quality either, if he had, he wouldn't have been just a social animal who had accomplished nothing in his previous life.

Faced with Li Sujie's begging, Li Qinzai fell into a struggle. He really didn't want to get involved in this matter, because it would kill him.

"Sujie, I..." Li Qinzai opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say no.

In this day and age, teachers and students are like father and son. If such a big incident happened to the disciples, if the teacher turned a blind eye, how could he be ashamed to teach them knowledge and the principles of life in the future?

"Sujie, calm down first. When you get flustered, you will only beg others for help. Is this what a man should do?"

Li Sujie lowered her head and quickly wiped away her tears.

Li Qinzai was full of irritability, scratched his head vigorously, and sighed: "You go back first, I'll think of a way."

Li Sujie immediately raised his head when he heard the words, his eyes revealed a gleam of surprise: "Really? Sir, can you save my two sisters?"

Li Qinzai closed his eyes: "Get out, don't show your face in front of me, I'm afraid I can't help but change my mind."

Li Sujie didn't even dare to say more words of thanks, and disappeared in place with a whoosh.

Li Qinzai sighed, and got into a big trouble again, what exactly was he trying to do?
Sitting alone in the yard, the roasted geese were already cold, and Li Qinzai completely lost his appetite.

How to save the two princesses and at the same time protect themselves, Li Qinzai kept thinking about this question in his mind.

This time, his opponent is Empress Wu.

Different from the Bingzhou food case last time, if Li Qinzai saves people this time, it will touch the core interests of Empress Wu.

The empress dowager's purpose is not only to clear her suspicion, but also to eradicate all the descendants of the former enemy.

Li Qinzai could even guess that if Li Sujie hadn't worshiped him as his teacher, even Li Sujie would be implicated in this case this time.

But now it was no longer a matter of offending Empress Wu, even if he wanted to save people, he didn't know how to do it.

The real mastermind is still lurking in the palace, and the two princesses have become scapegoats. The mastermind is too late to be happy and will not show up.

Wanting to save someone, Li Qinzai had no idea how to take the first step.

There were soft footsteps behind him.

"Uncle Li, you can't get involved in this matter!" The voice of the county magistrate of Jinxiang came from behind.

Li Qinzai looked back, after the hangover last time, Jin Xiang stayed at Li's house temporarily, and his father went away to work and build roads, and Jin Xiang became a left-behind child.

Caring for left-behind children is the duty of dudes, so Li Qinzai let her stay temporarily.

"Have you heard everything?" Li Qinzai asked.

Jin Xiang nodded: "I didn't overhear."

After a pause, Jin Xiang said seriously: "Uncle Li, you can't get involved in this matter, it will kill you."

Li Qinzai revealed the evil charm of a domineering president: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Jin Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then raised his brows, and was about to get angry when Li Qinzai suddenly changed his style of painting.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I made a mistake in the role substitution. I thought you were Cui Jie... Well, thank you for reminding the county magistrate, I appreciate it."

Jin Xiang gasped: "At this time, you are not serious!"

"The disciple has something to do, and the teacher will do his best. I can't help it..." Li Qinzai smiled wryly.

Jin Xiang rolled his eyes at him: "'If you have something to do, the disciple should do his job', you have reversed it. There is no reason in the world for a teacher to do his job."

"Teachers and students are father and son. If the son is in trouble, can the father turn a blind eye?" Li Qinzai sighed, "For example, if you accidentally fell into the latrine, the only person in the world who would not dislike you. The only person who picks you up and really thinks that you can still have it after washing is your father, His Highness King Teng, right?"

Jin Xiang was stunned for a while, and then flew into a rage: "Li Qinzai, can you speak human words with your dog's mouth? You just fell into the latrine, and you are covered in shit!"

"The county magistrate, please calm down. I'm just making a metaphor. It doesn't mean that you are really... huh? You look so angry and angry. Could it be that you really...?"

"No! Li, don't go too far. I kindly advise you not to do stupid things. Is this how you arrange me?"

Li Qinzai yawned, and said perfunctorily, "Thank you county magistrate for your kindness, I will remember it."

Jin Xiang took a deep breath, secretly persuading himself not to be as knowledgeable as him, Li Qinzai's mouth is cheap, he has already heard a lot of deeds from Cui Jie, and to be fair, this time he is not the cheapest.

After calming down his fury, and resisting the violent thought of strangling this disciple and stuffing him into the latrine, Jin Xiang tried his best to speak in a serious tone: "Li Qinzai, for Jie'er's sake, don't do anything stupid. You can't get involved in this matter, you have a wife and children, what should you do if something happens to your wife and children?"

"I've heard about the Shengsheng case. It is said that no less than a thousand palace officials were implicated. It was only three days after the incident happened, and hundreds of palace officials were implicated and killed. The disaster of witchcraft has always been tabooed by emperors. To bear the thunder and thunder, Li Qinzai, you can't afford to get involved."

Li Qinzai's eyes were as calm as a lake, and he said indifferently: "I just want to do my disciple a favor. I don't want to get involved in things like winning witchcraft."

Jin Xiang said with a more serious tone: "You've already been caught in it after you've done this favor, don't you understand?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "Teachers and students are like father and son. It's still the metaphor. For example, you accidentally fell into..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Xiang was furious: "Li Qinzai, you bastard!"

After speaking, Jin Xiang turned around and left.

The courtyard was quiet again. Li Qinzai sat blankly for a long time, sighed desolately, and said, "Come here, change my clothes."

Li Qinzai, who had put on his official uniform, went out, boarded the carriage and headed straight to the Tai Chi Palace.

Until Li Qinzai's figure disappeared into the courtyard, Jin Xiang's figure turned out under the pillars at the corner, staring at the direction of the gate, his hateful eyes still lingering.

"I've never met someone who insists on courting death! He dares to get involved in such a big disaster, do you really think his horoscope is tough?" Jin Xiang said bitterly to himself.

He kept cursing, but Jin Xiang's expression became more and more struggling.

After a long time, Jin Xiang suddenly stomped his feet fiercely: "Bastard, bastard, apprentice, shameless person! If it wasn't for...for Jie'er, I wouldn't help you!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Xiang didn't hesitate anymore, and after straightening his temples, he ordered the maid to prepare a car and go out.

…………

Tai Chi Palace, Anren Hall.

Li Qinzai knelt down in front of Li Zhi, the two of them looked serious and stared at the chessboard in front of them.

Black and white are scattered on the chessboard, but it is not Go, but backgammon.

This is the way Li Qinzai taught Li Zhi to play when he was on vacation at Ganjingzhuang in the past.

After Li Zhi learned it, he felt that chatting was more fun than a Go player. It needed to use his brain, but it would not consume too much brain power. It was very suitable for leisure and stress relief, and he would never tire of it after returning to the palace.

On the chessboard, Li Qinzai held the white, and Li Zhi held the black. Seeing that Li Zhi had the upper hand, one piece fell, four stars in a row, and the victory was set.

Li Zhi was very happy, and looked at Li Qinzai with a smirk on his face, waiting for him to make another move to win the round.

Li Qinzai was absent-minded, and when he wanted to be serious, he was at a loss for what to do. He pondered for a long time, and suddenly stretched out his hands to randomly move the black and white pieces on the chessboard.

Li Zhi's smile froze, seeing that a game of chess that was a sure win was messed up by him, but he was too late to stop it.

"You, how can you play a rogue!" Li Zhi said angrily.

Li Qinzai's expression was straightened, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have heard that 'proficiency in work is more important than leisure'. Your Majesty is the hero of the Tang Dynasty, Mingjun. How can he be addicted to playing trails? I must advise Your Majesty. Mingjun can't just play around. Why don't you read the memorials carefully."

Li Zhi was furious: "If I play backgammon with you, then I am not a wise king? Besides, you taught me to play this backgammon. If I am a foolish king who is addicted to playing, you are a sycophant."

Then Li Zhi smacked his lips: "'Professionalism lies in diligence and waste in play', hey, this sentence is not bad, Jingchu often has deafening warnings in his mouth, kindness."

Li Qinzai didn't answer, he hesitated for a while, and finally went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I heard that the mastermind of the Shengsheng case has been found?"

Li Zhi's expression froze, and he sighed bitterly: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be my two daughters..."

Li Qinzai thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to investigate this case secretly, but I got nothing. I have failed Your Majesty, and I have neglected my duty."
