My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 199: Every time I see the prince, I bow my head

Dalang has the final say in matters of the mansion. As soon as he finished speaking, the servants standing around immediately pinned down the playboys.

The already frightened people immediately panicked, some cried for mercy, some called on their big brother for support. For a moment, the room was filled with ugly scenes.

As their eldest brother, Li Ji could not just stand by and watch. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly heard a loud shout:
"Shut up!"

Li Guangli's eyes were cold, which frightened Li Ji so much that he shivered and his back, which had just been straightened, shrank back again. Li Guangli glanced at the people behind who were shouting loudly and moved his fingers.

The servant understood, swung up the stick, and hit them in the face.

Not long after.

The noise stopped.

Li Guangli stared at the playboy groaning in pain on the ground and said in a bad tone: "You used to coax that idiot Li Ji into spending a lot of money. It doesn't matter. I don't care."

"You can spend money recklessly, but you can't do things recklessly." He stood up, slowly walked in front of the few people, and said condescendingly:
"Who followed him to the Zuo Nei Shi Mansion to fight, who did he fight, and how did you settle it afterwards?"

"Think about it!"

Those who hung out with Li Ji were all idlers in Chang'an, and they had never seen such a scene before.

The big brother who used to boast loudly has now become a coward. They can no longer figure out who has the final say now, and the sharp knife against their wrist will probably reveal the truth.

"I...we all went." Regardless of the blood foam in his mouth, a skinny young man was the first to lose his courage and said tremblingly: "We beat up a thief Cao and two petty officials. Brother Li said that they didn't give us face, so..."

"I just gave him a lesson."

"Afterwards, we reported our title as Zhong...Zhonglang Jiang, and no one in the Neishi Mansion dared to question us, so they let us go."

The others lying on the ground struggled to kneel up and nodded. Li Ji turned around and said in a hurry:
"Brother, it was that villain Cao who insulted me first, I..."

Snapped!
Before he could finish his words, Li Guangli slapped his brother with his backhand. He did not look at his silent brother behind him, but continued to stare at the people in front of him.

The skinny young man wiped the blood off his face, glanced at Li Ji, and said with evasive eyes: "We saw a beautiful woman on the street earlier. Brother Li wanted to approach her to talk to her, but was stopped by that thief Cao. Afterwards, he was so angry..."

"So you rushed into the Neishi Mansion and beat people up?" Li Guangli continued coldly.

"Yes Yes."

When Li Ji saw that his brother had sold him out, he was angry and afraid. He was angry that his friends were useless, and he was afraid that his brother would fight him again.

He covered his cheeks and wanted to surrender and beg for mercy, but after opening his mouth, he dared not utter a word.

now.

The room was very quiet. Li Guangli did not get angry after hearing this. He just squatted down, straightened the skinny young man's fancy clothes, and said slowly:
"When you guys were causing trouble outside, besides reporting my name, did you also report other names, such as, Mr. Noble, Madam?"

"I have... reported it."

Seeing the General of the Household become kind, the young man forced a far-fetched smile and said tremblingly: "The noble lady of the Li family is so beautiful that everyone has to give her some face. Now that she is pregnant with the heir to the throne, it is even more..."

The following 'noble and unparalleled' was never uttered, and Li Guangli, who was listening quietly, suddenly jumped up!

He grabbed a wooden stick at hand and smashed it hard on the young man's forehead.

boom! boom! boom!
Flesh and blood burst out, skulls shattered, and red and white blood flowed all over the ground. Li Guangli, who was gasping for breath, threw away the stick only after the man was smashed into a bloody mess, unrecognizable as a human, and completely lifeless.

call!
The only sound in the side hall for a while was his panting. Li Ji was stunned with fear. The other playboys wanted to scream, but their mouths were tightly covered by a pair of big hands.

Li Guangli stood up and patted the blood stains on his brocade clothes. "Drag them all out, break their hands, and send them to Zuo Neishi to make amends."

After saying this, he began to sob and struggle again, but it was all in vain.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Guangli sat back in his original position, watching the servants come in and out, clean up the place, and then leave silently.

When there was no one around, Li Guangli reached out and dragged his dumbfounded brother to him, held his neck, and said calmly:
"I know you did something stupid, but I didn't touch you because you are my brother, my biological brother from the same mother. Do you understand?"

"Listen...listen...listen..."

"You don't have to say it." Li Guangli looked at Li Ji who kept nodding and said with satisfaction: "It's good that you can understand it."

"So, do you know how much you've ruined my business?"

Maybe it was because he had seen the murder scene or because he was extremely nervous after seeing his brother's appearance, but Li Ji's body was shaking constantly and he felt like retching.

He endured the discomfort of wanting to vomit but being unable to, first shook his head, then nodded quickly.

"I know! I know!"

"I shouldn't have used my sister's name to ruin her reputation. I was wrong, brother. Woo woo woo, I was really wrong. I won't dare to do that again..."

"Quiet."

As soon as Li Guangli started to speak, the crying stopped. He patted his brother's neck and said, "You know who my family relies on, which means you can still be saved. You are my brother, so don't make things difficult for your brother."

Li Ji's eyes showed fear. He took a few steps forward on his knees and was about to swear an oath to his brother, but Li Guangli interrupted him again.

"My dear, remember this. I will only tell you this once today. Now let's talk about how badly you have ruined my business!"

That’s all I have to say.

Li Guangli leaned close to his brother's cheek, stared into his eyes, and whispered, "You know, today's morning court session was the best opportunity to attack the crown prince, but because of you, the crown prince caught me."

"Because of you, I bowed my head again."

As if the words had touched a sore spot, Li Guangli no longer had the strong murderous intent in his previous calmness, and his words were now filled with surging hostility.

"Lower your head, lower your head, I lower my head every time I see the prince!" Li Guang grabbed his brother's neck and said hatefully, "Because of you, my chance to hold the prince's head down has been ruined by you!"

"Do you know how much I want to kill you right now!?"

Li Guangli followed the way of forbearance and usually would not lose his composure. But today, when he saw Taichang and Shaofu remained silent at the court meeting, he lost his composure.

After returning home, I felt depressed and angry.

He lost his composure again.

Li Ji looked at his angry brother, his heart trembling, and said in a crying voice: "Brother, our life is pretty good now, much better than when we were entertainers, why bother to fight again..."

"What do you know!"

Hearing the word "changyu", Li Guangli grabbed his collar, his face suddenly ferocious and fierce, "You have never been to Xuanshi Hall, you don't know how long and how high the steps there are!"

"How am I worse than those nobles!?"

"Why should I linger at the bottom of society, be a prostitute, and be laughed at by others!?"

"I just want to climb up, to the top! I want everyone to look up to me, and even the prince can't stop me!"

"I said——!"
