When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 160 Nanshan County

The next day, Li Shun temporarily put aside his doubts and found Concubine Yang.She is playing chess with Yu Bingqing.The arrival of Li Shunde made Yu Bingqing a little cautious, fearing that he would do something outrageous in front of his junior sister, which would be embarrassing.

Li Shundao: "Senior Sister Yu, I'm so excited. Pei'er and I have something to talk about. Please step aside first."

Yu Bingqing left immediately if she was granted amnesty.

When Concubine Yang saw Li Shun driving Yu Bingqing away, she knew that he must have something important to say and was all ears.

Li Shun got straight to the point: "How much do you know about the Yang family?"

Yang Pei'er has been sent to practice under the master Yuhu since she was seven years old, and she doesn't know much about the Yang family.Her father is the younger brother of the head of the Yang family. The relationship between the brothers is very good, and the uncle treats her as his own, which is rare in aristocratic families.Li Shun felt relieved when he saw that Yang Pei'er didn't know about the Yang family.

"I have something, I don't know whether I should say it or not. Just don't say it. In the future, my concubine will inevitably feel resentful towards me if she finds out. If I say anything, I'm afraid that my concubine will be embarrassed."

"Your Majesty, we have been together for so many years, what else can't be said?" Over the past year, the resistance in Yang Pei'er's heart has gradually decreased, and now it is completely gone.Especially after Hu Yuelian, Zhuge Xuanyi, Feng Lan and others entered the palace, Li Shun was also busy with government affairs, and he no longer received special favor.Sometimes you don’t know how to cherish until you lose it.

Li Shun told the truth about the case of the Nanshan County Magistrate and the death of the real person in Yuhu.The former surprised her, the latter shocked her.She confirmed again: "The emperor said that the master was killed by the Yang family and the Shenmu Sect? But my mother is the master's junior sister. That's why the concubine entered the master's sect."

Li Shundao: "I can't say for sure. Now I have sent people to investigate, and there are many big things involved. I can't say more. My dear concubine, if the Yang family really does something disobedient, what do you want me to do?" "

Yang Pei'er is in a dilemma, with her husband's power on one side and the kindness of her parents on the other.She knelt on the ground and said: "If the Yang family really does something treasonous and unethical, please deal with it in accordance with the law and give me a white silk ribbon."

Li Shun narrowed his eyes slightly and said in disappointment: "You are threatening me."

Yang Pei'er quickly shook her head: "The Yang family has disobeyed, and I have no shame in continuing to serve the emperor."

Li Shun said angrily: "We, a young couple, have been in love for many years, and you don't miss them at all?"

When Yang Pei'er heard Li Shun's words, she trembled and threw herself into his arms weakly, sobbing: "What did the emperor ask me to do? If the master really killed the Yang family, I would be unjust. If the Yang family really betrayed the imperial court, If my parents obey the law and I cannot protect them, then I am unfilial. If I ask the emperor to show favoritism to me, that is disloyalty. In this case, how can I have the dignity to live?"

Li Shun was also helpless. The best way to deal with this matter was to hide it from her. When the results came out, everyone would be happy, but it would be handled secretly.However, there is no airtight wall in the world.Concubine Yang will know sooner or later.Unless Li Shun executes all the insiders.Killing innocent people like this is not the answer.

"You go with me to Nanshan County and personally participate in the investigation. If you feel that the Yang family's crime is not worthy of death, I will forgive them. Sometimes, people are easily confused by appearances. You have left home since you were a child. What is the Yang family like? You have to feel it for yourself. I am on your side. As for what Ci Ling said, I just pretend I didn’t hear it. If you say it again, you will be betraying me. You are mine in life, and don’t even think about leaving me in death."

Yang Pei'er thought for a while and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Li Shun changed into casual clothes with her, opened the door to the spiritual world, wrapped her whole body with dragon energy to prevent her from being harmed by the spiritual light, and stepped into the earth temple beside the Nanshan County Yamen.Li Shun has long felt strange that in this world humans and immortals are at odds with each other, so what is going on with these lands and other temples?Later I learned that these were gods established by dynasties through the ages. According to the sorcerers, they were human spirits. Some were useful, and some had long since disappeared.

Shenjiwei worked very quickly and buried the target here so quickly.Originally I just planned to find the nearest place, but I didn't expect that Nanshan County was also buried.The Earth Temple in Nanshan County has long been in ruins, and the human spirits inside have also disappeared.Yang Pei'er finally recovered from the weightlessness and looked at the changed environment around her in disbelief.I can't see through him anymore.

"Husband, where are we going now?"

"Find an inn to rest first, and then get some news."

As soon as the two of them left the temple gate, they found a group of people kneeling in front of the Yamen, holding complaints in their hands and crying out for injustice.The two stopped to watch. After a while, a group of people dressed in servants' clothes rushed out from the street corner, holding sticks and trying to beat the people.Li Shun's eyes turned cold, but he didn't step forward to stop him.Yang Pei'er recognized these servants as members of the Yang family at a glance, and immediately turned pale and held Li Shun's hand in fear.

At this time, the yamen door opened, and Bao Mingtong hurried out and scolded the servant who beat him.The group of servants turned a deaf ear and continued to commit murder.Bao Mingtong's face turned red with anger, and he asked the government officials to come forward and capture the thugs.The officials didn't dare to move.

He had no choice but to step forward to block the people in front of the people. The servants stopped beating him and shouted: "You, a small county magistrate, dare to interfere in the affairs of our Yang family. You also dare to incite troublesome people and publish lists to collect evidence of crimes. Let me tell you! Concubine Yang Your Majesty is the emperor's favorite concubine! We, the Yang family, are relatives of the emperor. Don't say that you are a small magistrate, even the magistrate and the feudal lord must give face to our master."

Bao Mingtong said angrily: "I am the official of the imperial court! I am in charge of the government orders of this county, and I am responsible for rewards and punishments. The imperial court implements the method of apportioning people into acres and needs to measure the land. Some of the properties under your Yang family's name are of unknown origin. I have repeatedly asked you to submit You ignore the evidence, and now I can only act in accordance with the law! Since the founding of our country, the harem has not been allowed to interfere in politics! As the family members of Concubine Yang, you are not cooperating with the emperor's will! I will definitely submit a copy of your book to the emperor. !”

The servant laughed wildly: "You can participate, you can participate! If you can participate, I will kneel down and ride on you as a horse." After saying that, they walked away.

Bao Mingtong turned around and glared at the yamen officer fiercely, deciding that he must be replaced later.He wanted to help the people.The people waved their hands one after another: "Sir, we will not sue, we will not sue."

Bao Mingtong tried to persuade him again, but the people fled away like the god of plague.

Seeing this, Li Shun took Yang Pei'er and turned to leave.Yang Pei'er was hesitant to talk along the way. When she arrived at an inn, she asked for a room.As soon as she entered the room, Concubine Yang knelt on the ground: "I am guilty. I never thought that the Yang family would use the name of relatives of the emperor to discredit the emperor and prey on the common people."

Li Shun pulled Yang Pei'er into his arms: "Don't rush to conclusions, let's take a look at the situation first." With that, Li Shun picked up a tea cup, opened the window, turned the tea lid over on the windowsill and put it under the tea cup. .After waiting for about a stick of incense, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

A man wearing civilian clothes came in and asked Li Shun, "Who is your lord?"

Li Shun took out the magnolia jade pendant he carried with him.

The man immediately knelt down and bowed: "Yuelang Guan, the Seventh Squadron of the Guards Department of the Chen Shen Machinery Building Office, respectfully wishes to pay my respects to our Emperor."

Li Shun said calmly: "I'm fine."
