Chapter 706 Begin to settle accounts
Wu Yanhao basically doesn't stay with women, so naturally he doesn't know the relationship between Wei'er and Mo Ling.
Of course, even if he knew, he would not believe that the undercover Mo Ling might have any bad intentions towards Wei'er.
The undercover agent falls in love with the enemy?
Weird.
"I'll go find him after I get back and see what the situation is."
Li Cunxi scratched his head and put the matter behind him.
"Since you're here, you must be ready to help."
"Let me tell you what the situation is like here."
Wu Yanhao chuckled:
"Let's talk while we eat. I'm a little hungry."
During the meal, Wu Yanhao learned about the situation in Luzhou. After knowing that Lu Dayou and Di Guangyuan were fine, he was eager to do something big.
Wu Sansi had no objection to this. After leaving the matter to the two of them, he returned to his official residence to play with his own gadgets.
Just half an hour later, the patriarchs of the major families in Luzhou were arrested and taken to the governor's mansion.
Li Qi, the head of the Li family, was forced to the ground. He struggled to look up and looked at Li Cunxi who was sitting on the position of governor, and growled.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Qin!"
"We, we have already paid the price we deserved. We gave away so much gold, silver, jewelry, and valuable items!"
"Why did you arrest us again?"
Li Cunxi said expressionlessly:
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it."
"Wu Shaoyin, add another charge to them: bribing the imperial envoy, Prince of Liang Wu Sansi, in an attempt to escape punishment. This is truly a crime worthy of death."
Li Qi's expression froze. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing.
On second thought, it seemed that they did not give Li Cunxi a bribe last night.
The only person who accepted bribes throughout the whole process was the big idiot Wu Sansi, King of Liang.
The head of the current princes in the hall, Prince Qin Li Cunxi, seemed to have not accepted any bribes.
Li Qi was anxious and said:
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, this is my fault. Please give me another chance. I am willing to give away all my wealth to honor Your Highness!"
Li Cunxi didn't even look at Li Qi, and said calmly:
"Brother Yanhao, this guy is really not afraid of death."
"Mark this down. If you attempt to bribe His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin in court, you will be sentenced to immediate execution."
Wu Yanhao applauded and wrote it down immediately.
Li Qi's face turned pale. He couldn't believe that there were people in this world who were not interested in gold, silver and jewelry.
As he approached death, Li Qi's brain was working rapidly, trying to find some chance to survive.
Just thinking about it, he really had an idea.
Looking up again, Li Qi said:
"Your Highness Prince Qin, although we have never paid tribute to you, we have paid tribute to Your Highness Prince Liang."
"You and His Royal Highness Prince Liang are working together this time, so you should at least give His Royal Highness some respect, right?"
"Please, Your Highness the Prince of Qin, for the sake of Your Highness the Prince of Liang, please let us go this time. We will definitely remember Your Highness the Prince of Qin's kindness in the future."
Li Cunxi was already a little tired, and he clenched his fist to support his face and said:
"Brother Yanhao, these bastards actually dared to threaten me, the Imperial Commissioner, in public. You should remember this. People like them cannot be let off. They are so damn outrageous."
Wu Yanhao wrote it all down with a stroke of his pen.
Li Qi and others felt disappointed, but were still ready to fight for it again.
Suddenly, a figure walked out from the back hall. It was Wu Sansi who was about to find Li Cunxi to inquire about the situation.
When Li Qi saw Wu Sansi, he seemed to have seen a savior and immediately shouted:
"Your Highness Prince Liang, save us, save us!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has fabricated charges against us and wants to chop off our heads!"
Wu Sansi stopped, was stunned for a moment, turned around, and walked back with his head held high.
"This is strange. Why would I be hallucinating?"
"Could it be that this king didn't sleep well again?"
"Looks like I have to go back and have a good sleep. Yes, I have to go back and have a good sleep."
Wu Sansi kept talking to himself all the way and was about to return along the same route.
Li Qi became even more anxious. After struggling for a while, he found that he could not break free from the two Qianniu guards' hands. He shouted in despair:
"Your Highness Prince Liang!"
"Have you forgotten that we came to bribe you yesterday?"
"We gave you hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, silver, jewels, and all sorts of rare treasures!"
"Why are you so disloyal today?"
Wu Sansi stopped again, and his whole body was trembling with fear.
He quickly turned around and walked towards Li Cunxi.
Li Qi and others, who didn't understand what was going on, thought that Wu Sansi was going to plead with Li Cunxi on their behalf, and smiles quickly appeared on their faces.
"The hope of survival is right before our eyes!"
Li Qi cried out in his heart, desperately hoping that Wu Sansi could save his life.
Soon, Li Qi saw Wu Sansi standing next to Li Cunxi, pointing at Li Qi who was kneeling on the ground, and said loudly:
"King Qin, these damned beasts are slandering me! They are slandering me!"
"If this damn behavior is not stopped, everyone will follow suit!"
"I, King Wu Sansi, please kill these scum!"
At this moment, Oharu Takesami displayed wisdom far beyond his usual level.
In other words, he was simply less intelligent than those officials in the court who had climbed up step by step.
Li Qi was stunned. He couldn't believe that Wu Sansi would actually turn against them and kill them, the bribers.
Where the hell can I find justice in this?
Li Cunxi nodded seriously: "Then chop them all to death."
"General Hu, please take out the imperial sword and execute these people and their entire families."
Wu Yanhao stood aside, seeing that the time had come, and said quickly:
"Cunxi, killing so many people is against the harmony of nature."
Li Cunxi said calmly without even turning his head:
"These people colluded with Luzhou officials to assassinate the imperial envoy. They are birds of a feather with the Cai family and must be killed."
"Even if the incident ends up in the imperial court, there will be great scholars who will debate on my behalf."
Wu Yanhao seemed speechless and said no more.
Hu Jinghui, who had been waiting for a long time, walked into the back hall, took out the imperial sword, brought it to the main hall respectfully, and held it in his arm.
"General Hu, let's go."
"Yes!"
Hu Jinghui received the order, left the main hall, led three hundred thousand cattle guards, and took with him the four military leaders Zhang Huan, Li Lang, Yang Fang, and Ren Kuo, and went to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan.
In the main hall, the patriarchs of the various families who were pinned to the ground had bloodshot eyes.
"Li Cunxi, you've killed too many people and are violating the harmony of nature!"
"You treat us like this, aren't you afraid that all the clans in the world will hate you?"
Li Qi was in tears, feeling sad for his family members.
Li Cunxi didn't feel guilty at all. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said:
"Clans of the world?"
"Are you worthy enough to represent the clans of the world?"
"I've been so good to you beasts these past few years that you've forgotten the difference between high and low."
"You dared to do something like assassinating the imperial envoy. Tell me, I just killed you, so what's the big deal?"
