A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Another impromptu lyric? Another timeless masterpiece?

Li Yin rushed forward, grabbed the paper by the neck, and looked at it.

After looking at it for a moment, Li Yin said anxiously.

"What kind of writing is this? I can't even understand it, and that's not the point!"

The main problem is that Li Rui killed Feng Yu's son. What should we do now?

Li Song fell into deep thought, when suddenly his eyes lit up!

"No, no, no, this poem is the key point!"

Before Li Yin could ask any questions, he was left speechless.

Li Song then quickly went to the table and neatly copied the poem down.

He wrote it down and read it aloud as he wrote it.

"Before the young master, I saw the jade flute, and under the silver lamp, a melody was so beautiful and enchanting."

Who can blame me for getting drunk while singing? The wine hasn't worn off even after I've finished singing and returned home.

Spring arrives quietly, the night stretches on, and the azure sky and the distant Chu Palace meet.

My soul, accustomed to unbridled wandering, once again treads upon willow catkins as I cross the Xie Bridge.

After finishing the poem, Li Song exclaimed in sincere praise.

"What a beautiful line, 'Treading on willow catkins again across Xie Bridge,' it's so well written."

Li Yin couldn't understand the lyrics and wasn't interested in whether they were well-written or not; he only cared about one thing.

Why is this poem the focus? What is its purpose?

Li Song handed the copied poem to his attendant and gave him instructions.

"Quickly send someone to make multiple copies, and spread them throughout the city along with the story of Yu Xiao and Li Rui's mutual affection but their near rape by Feng Hao."

The attendant hurriedly left and did as instructed.

Seeing that Li Yin didn't quite understand, Li Song explained.

"The key to this matter lies in the four words 'handling the case impartially.' The deceased was Feng Yu's son, who was also the nephew of the reigning empress."

If the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice were to handle the case, Feng Yu would very likely manipulate things and use private punishment to avenge his son.

Therefore, to ensure Li Rui's safety, the first step should be to force the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice to handle the case impartially, preventing Feng Yu from taking any underhanded actions.

Upon hearing this, Li Yin seemed to be deep in thought.

"I think I understand now. The reason you had the story spread was to let more people know about this murder."

The more people who know, the greater the pressure on the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice, and the less likely they are to use torture without authorization.

Li Song nodded.

"That's right, the imperial court still has some sense of shame, and the key to spreading the story lies in this poem."

"How so?"

Li Song clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"It's...exquisitely written! Anyone who has read this poem will have no doubt that Li Rui and Yu Xiao's feelings for each other are genuine!"

Li Yin said in astonishment.

"That's amazing?"

Li Song nodded firmly.

"Yes! If it were a lie, how could such beautiful words be written?"

Speaking of it.

Li Song was a little confused.

Was this poem really composed by Li Rui on the spot?

Judging from the meaning of the words, there seems to be a slight discrepancy.

However, the poem begins by mentioning the name "Yuxiao," so it doesn't seem to be written for someone else.

If it was truly done on the spur of the moment.

Li Rui's writing skills are truly remarkable...

Li Song scratched his head, feeling a surge of emotions that he couldn't calm down for a long time.

……

"Your Majesty! My son!"

"What?!"

"No, no, what I mean is, my son died a terrible death! I beg Your Majesty to do me justice!"

Shi Chonggui was filled with annoyance. Looking at Feng Yu, who kept kowtowing, he cursed impatiently.

"It's Li Rui again! Can't this scoundrel let me have a few days of peace?"

Originally, with the annihilation of the Black Wind Stronghold bandits...

The grand court assembly, which had been delayed for several days, is now scheduled to take place the day after tomorrow.

As a result, Li Rui suddenly committed another murder!

A high-ranking general from a foreign territory murdered the families of high-ranking officials in the capital!

This is no small matter.

Moreover, Feng Yu's identity is extraordinary.

He was not only Empress Feng Yao's brother, but also highly valued by Shi Chonggui.

Especially when the current prime minister, Sang Weihan, was becoming increasingly disliked by Shi Chonggui.

Feng Yu is very likely to rise to power and replace Sang Weihan as prime minister!

His son was killed, what is that if not a big deal?

Although Shi Chonggui was impatient, he was still happy to see this happen.

Li Rui had already greatly displeased him, but he was powerless to suppress him due to popular support.

it's good now.

Li Rui willingly handed over his weakness to us!

Shi Chonggui sneered inwardly and issued an imperial edict on the spot.

"Zhang Renyuan, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, is appointed as the investigating officer, and Dou Zhengu, the Minister of Justice, is appointed as the deputy investigating officer, to thoroughly investigate the case of Feng Hao."

The voice just fell.

Feng Yu suddenly looked up and said.

"Your Majesty, I request your assistance in investigating this case!"

After thinking for a moment, Shi Chonggui knew very well what Feng Yu wanted to do.

As long as Feng Yu is given the pretext of assisting in the investigation, he will definitely abuse his power!

They tortured Li Rui until he confessed, and then severely tormented him!

but……

Shi Zhonggui gave a sinister smile.

"allow."

Feng Yu was overjoyed!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

As I stepped out of the palace gate, dusk was approaching.

Feng Yu's face instantly darkened!

"Let's go! To the prison, and beat Li Rui to a pulp before anyone else does!"

Feng Yu was perfectly aware of this.

Even if he succeeds in obtaining the title of cooperating in the investigation, it is highly unlikely that he will be able to make Li Rui pay for his son's life.

After all, Li Rui's contributions were immense!

His merits on the northern battlefield alone are enough to keep him alive!

In addition, after arriving in Bianliang, he first saved the Empress and then made a great contribution in suppressing bandits.

If such a person were to be sentenced to beheading, not only would the officials and common people not agree to it.

Even Emperor Shi Chonggui, who didn't particularly like Li Rui, wouldn't agree!

Li Rui can be taught a lesson or suppressed.

But I can't die!

With his death, the many Jin soldiers across the country didn't care about anything else.

All they knew was that the war hero hadn't died at the hands of the Khitans, but had died in Bianliang.

That would destroy the army's morale!

and so.

Feng Yu knew very well that Li Rui could not die.

But injuring or maiming should be acceptable!

The goal is to cripple Li Rui before anyone else does!

A group of people stormed into the prison!

Where is Li Rui being held?

"Reporting to Lord Feng, Li Rui has already been taken away by the palace eunuchs."

"What?! Nonsense, I just came out of the palace."

"Reporting to Lord Feng, Li Rui was only in jail for less than an hour before he was taken away."

"A palace eunuch? Was he sent by His Majesty?"

"Uh, no, it seems to be someone close to the Empress."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yu was stunned.

Empress?

His own sister sent someone to bring Li Rui into the palace?

What fast movements!

Is it because they can't wait to avenge Hao'er?

Feng Yu clicked his tongue, sensing that something was amiss.

He has many sons, but only a few of them have a good relationship with Feng Yao.

Feng Hao's youngest son and Feng Yao had barely met each other!

To insist that Feng Yao was eager to avenge him is simply self-deception.

That's obvious.

Feng Yao is trying to protect Li Rui!

Feng Yu was now at a loss.

No matter how fast he moved, he couldn't outrun his sister, and he had no way to do anything to Li Rui, who was in the palace.

The key was Feng Yao's attitude, which made Feng Yu's heart sink.

If the younger sister is determined to protect Li Rui and repay his life-saving grace...

Feng Yu really had no way to deal with Li Rui.

Sudden.

Feng Yu thought of the jade flute.

If you can't deal with Li Rui, then take it out on the women!

"Where's that damn geisha?"

"He's inside, please, Mr. Feng."

The jailer led the way, accompanied by Feng Yu and his entourage.

Head straight to the cell where Yu Xiao is!
