Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 231 An angry Li Xu summoned by the prince

After receiving this reply, He Zhaojun's face darkened, disappointment appeared on her face, and Li Xu, who saw this scene, was both distressed and angry.

It's all that damn pretty boy's fault, Zhaojun has never felt so sorry for himself, why should he? Why should he? No, I must not let him go!

Although he was very angry in his heart, he naturally couldn't show it in front of his sweetheart, so he said with an embarrassed look, "Zhaojun, don't be sad, I will feel bad if you do this."

"At worst, this is better. I'll go to Tingwei's Mansion in person tomorrow. Although I can't let Ling Buhuo release him, it should still be possible for you to meet him."

"Really? That's great, um, thank you, you are such a good person." He Zhaojun said happily

Good guy? What kind of person? What good guy? Your whole family is a good person! At this time, Li Xu only felt that a hat with a special color appeared on his head.

"Haha, that Zhaojun, you don't have to be so polite. As long as you are happy, I can do whatever you want me to do. By the way, it's almost time. How about we go have a meal?" Li Xu asked

"Ah? No, don't bother. I, I can't eat now, so I'll go back first. You can eat by yourself." After hearing this, He Zhaojun's internal organs trembled, and he suppressed his nausea and said

"Oh, okay then, I'll take you out now. Be careful on the way." Li Xu said

He Zhaojun nodded after hearing this, then got up and was escorted by Li Xu to the gate of the Hou Mansion. Li Xu watched He Zhaojun get on the carriage and then gradually go away.

When the carriage was completely out of sight, he turned around and walked back, suppressing the anger in his heart. After returning to his room, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Damn, damn pretty boy, I must make you look good!" Li Xu said through gritted teeth.

When he thought of this, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he stepped out of the room, then rode his horse and galloped straight to Tingwei's mansion.

When Li Ze learned about his son's actions, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly sent someone to follow him to the Tingwei Mansion to keep an eye on him to avoid causing any big trouble.

At this time, Li Xu galloped on his horse and had arrived at Tingwei's Mansion. After getting off his horse, because this was Ling Buhuo's place, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

He followed the gatekeeper and walked inside, and soon arrived outside Ling Buhuo's public house.

When Ling Buhuo saw Li Xu's look, he knew that he was very angry about this matter, so he sent the yamen away directly, and then said, "What's going on? Who made you so angry?"

"Who else could it be? It's not because of that damn pretty boy. You know, Zhaojun went to see me today. I should have been happy, but do you know what she begged me for?"

"She wanted to come and meet that pretty boy. She actually came to beg me to help her meet this pretty boy. It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable!"

"In all my life, I have never been so angry with such a useless person!" Li Xu said angrily.

"Haha, didn't you ask for this? Who asked you to treat He Zhaojun like this? If you want to eat well, of course you have to suffer a little. This is normal, isn't it?" Ling Buhuo said

"I said Ling Zichen, what do you mean by this? Are you laughing at me too? Don't forget that this idea was yours. You are too ungrateful!" Li Xu said dissatisfied

"I said, can you please stop being so excited? I didn't say anything? Aren't what I said the truth? Besides, are you confused? Why are you still angry when you're here?"

"Isn't there a ready-made punching bag in the prison? Why are you sulking here?" Ling Buhuo explained.

"Yes, why did I forget about this? Isn't that why I came here? Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I have to vent my anger." Li Xu said

"Hey, wait, you have to vent your anger, but I have something to say before. Although His Majesty has not returned from the Western Tour, there is a prince who is supervising the country after all. There is no way I will not report such a big thing."

"So don't blame me for selling you when the time comes. After all, your Li family is so big that I can't carry it with my small body." Ling Buhuo said

"You, you really don't suffer at all, okay. Anyway, I have gotten into trouble more than once or twice. I have been punished no matter what. This time is no different."

"If I can't get out this tone today, I will die of suffocation!" Li Xu said loudly

"Haha, okay, let's make an agreement then. As long as no one is killed, you can fight however you want. I will never stop you, but people must not die!" Ling Buhuo ordered.

"I know, you are really annoying. Where is he being held? Find someone to take me there." Li Xu said impatiently after hearing this.

Ling Buhuo didn't say anything after hearing this, but just smiled, and then asked Lu Cheng to take Li Xu to the cell where Prince Xiao was imprisoned.

After everyone left, a playful smile appeared on Ling Buhuo's face.

At this time, Li Xu had already arrived outside the cell where Xiao Shizi was being held. When he saw Xiao Shizi inside, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

When Xiao Shizi saw him, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Lu Cheng, "Why is he here? Where is Ling Zichen? Where is Ling Zichen? I want to see Ling Zichen, but he doesn't keep his word!"

"Okay, stop shouting. Ling Zichen won't come. I am the only one who has the final say here today. Your life is in my hands now. If you beg me now, I might consider letting you go later. Suffer less." Li Xu said with ill intentions.

"Hmph, stop dreaming. Just use whatever tricks you have." Xiao Shizi said forcefully.

Li Xu was very angry after hearing this, so he said directly, "Come here, loosen up Xiao Shizi's muscles and bones, and see if his other muscles are as hard as his mouth!"

After hearing this, Lu Cheng winked at the jailer on the side. Soon Prince Xiao was tied to the rack, and then the first course of dipping a whip in cold water was arranged.

Xiao Shizi had not exercised for many years, how could he withstand it, so the screams started immediately, but unfortunately, Li Xu did not hear the begging for mercy he wanted.

And this surprised Li Xu. After all, he thought, it was impossible for a dandy like Xiao Shizi to resist. Why didn't he beg for mercy like himself?

But in fact, it was because Xiao Shizi was not stupid. He knew that even if he begged for mercy, Li Xu would not let him go. After all, he had dealt with these women who stole women from him.

So he was very familiar with this kind of mentality. The more he begged for mercy, the more punishment he would receive and the more excited the other party would be, so he did not beg for mercy.

He was sure that Li Xu did not dare to kill him. Even if he was temporarily carried away, Lu Cheng would never watch him act recklessly.

In fact, this was indeed the case. After changing several hard dishes one after another, Lu Cheng stopped Li Xu in time, and Li Xu's eyes were already blood red.

"Little Marquis, my Marquis has made an agreement with you that this person cannot die, so you can't continue. If you continue, this person will die." Lu Cheng bowed and said

After hearing this, Li Xu turned to look at Lu Cheng with a fierce expression. With those blood-red eyes, it was really scary, but Lu Cheng did not flinch, but stood there with a calm face. Seeing the calmness on Lu Cheng's face, Li Xu calmed down completely, and the blood in his eyes gradually faded. Put on a lot of fatigue.

He didn't say anything, but glanced viciously at Prince Xiao, who was already somewhat out of shape, and then left unwillingly.

Xiao Shizi was not unconscious at this time. After seeing Li Xu leave, a smile flashed across his face, and then he fainted. After that, the jailer called for a doctor to treat him.

Li Xu on the other side had returned to Ling Buhuo's apartment at this time. Ling Buhuo looked at Li Xu who looked tired in front of him, shook his head and said, "Why do you think you are doing this?"

"You don't understand. This matter has developed so far. It's not just because of He Zhaojun. It now involves my position in my clan and my dignity as a man."

"So I have to do this. Today's affairs will probably be very troublesome. I owe you a favor, and I will find a way to repay you in the future." Li Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Secondly, it was only at this time that Ling Buhuo really understood what kind of person this playboy, the eldest son of Xiuyuan Hou Mansion, was in the eyes of outsiders.

"It doesn't matter. It's just trouble. I've been through a lot. It's nothing. Compared to the possible trouble, your favor may be more valuable. I won't lose this time." Ling Buhuo said

"Haha, I won't say any more. Anyway, thank you very much this time. I have to go back to deal with my father, so I'll leave first." After finishing speaking, Li Xu stood up and left.

Ling Buhuo looked at his leaving figure and slowly fell into deep thought. After all, he was the eldest son of the family. How many people were as useless as Wang Long?

Ling Buhuo, who was still deep in thought, was quickly interrupted by Lu Cheng's words: "Master Marquis, someone is coming from the East Palace. They say that the prince wants you to go to the East Palace immediately. The prince has something to ask you."

"Huh? What is supposed to come has finally come. Okay, since the prince has summoned him, let's go quickly. We can't let the prince wait in a hurry." Ling Buhuo said with emotion after hearing this.

After hearing this, Lu Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. At this time, Ling Buhuo said, "Okay, since I dare to let Li Xuchu mess around, I have the confidence, so don't worry."

After saying that, he strode away. At the same time, the prince was discussing with Taifu Lou.

"Taifu, why on earth did Ling Zichen do this?" the prince asked.

"Your Highness, this minister is unknown, but come to think of it, there must be some other connection between Ling Zichen and the Li family that you don't know about.

"The case Xiao Shizi committed this time is really unbelievable and unreasonable at all. It is very likely that there are some unknown secrets in it." Taifu Lou said

"Well, what the prince said makes sense. Everything will be clear when he comes." The prince nodded.

In fact, the prince did not agree with what Taifu Lou said at all, because it seemed that Taifu Lou had been talking for a long time, but in fact what he said was all nonsense.

These words seem to make sense, but in fact they are just specious words. It may be said that it is useless, but it is somewhat useful. It is said that it is useful, but it is really not much, and it is very useless.

At this time, Taifu Lou was also in a dilemma. After all, the people involved this time were different from the past. Ling Buhuo was Ling Buhuo's younger brother and his confidant.

There was no guarantee that what happened this time was not Ling Buyi's plan. If he said something extreme and it reached Ling Buyi's ears, it would be undesirable to make enemies out of nothing.

The most important thing is that if we really talk about the level of trust, His Highness definitely trusts Ling Buyi more, so he will never express an opinion on matters that may involve Ling Buyi.

At this time, Ling Buhuo came. As soon as he came in, Ling Buhuo was a little surprised. Tutor Lou was also there, but he soon realized it and bowed directly to salute.

"Okay, get back on your feet. Someone, please give me a seat." The prince said gently.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo naturally bowed again and then knelt down.

"Zi Chen, I'll call you that. In fact, I called you here today. I want to ask you something. I heard that you are currently trying the case of Prince Yong?" the prince said.

"Yes, Your Highness, because all the witnesses and material evidence are available, the prince has already confessed his crime." Ling Buhuo said.

"Huh? But how did I hear that Li Xu of the Li family lynched Prince Yong today? Do you have anything to explain to me about this?" The prince asked again.

"Your Highness, this matter, this matter..." Ling Buhuo said and glanced at Taifu Lou who was standing aside.

"It doesn't matter, Taifu Lou is the Taifu of the dynasty, there is nothing he cannot know." The prince said

"It's Your Highness. In fact, this case seems quite ridiculous to me. The Prince Yong has a decent appearance and a prominent family background, even if he really has a crush on some girl."

"He had many ways to get hold of people, so why did he need to rob them? And he was caught red-handed? It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it, but this case just happened."

"Moreover, there is sufficient evidence, including both witnesses and material evidence. Even if Crown Prince Xiao does not draw a bond, it is enough to convict him. This is not a coincidence no matter how you look at it." Ling Buhuo said.

"Zi Chen, please go on and talk about Li Xu of the Li family." The prince said

"It's your highness. In fact, I originally ignored Li Xu, but he had it in his hands. I had to agree to his request." Ling Buhuo said with an embarrassed look at the end.

"What? What does Li Xu have in his hand? What do you think?" the prince asked.

After hearing this, Ling Buhuo knelt down on the ground and said, "My lord, I beg you to punish me for my dereliction of duty."

When the prince saw Ling Buhuo suddenly kneel down and confess his crime, he couldn't react for a moment, but Taifu Lou beside him was very aware of it.

This Ling Buhuo is such a supercilious person. Who else can make him confess his crime without speaking out? Besides his eldest brother?

So Taifu Lou coughed directly, and the prince reacted after hearing this. After all, he had heard of Ling Zichen's reputation, and he would rather have himself punished than talk about it, so what?

Thinking of this, the prince's face was a little complicated, but he quickly said, "Okay, okay, since the evidence is conclusive, why did you neglect your duty? Why should I punish you?"

"According to the laws of our court, this man who raped a common woman would have been sentenced to castration, but now he is just beaten, which is considered a light punishment. Okay, get up quickly."
