Chapter 250: The Actual Leader of Shao Yin, the Case of the Bleeding Eagle is Concluded
After returning to the mansion, Li Cunxi half raised his head and pondered for a long time. He closed the door of the study, opened the first letter from Princess Taiping to him, and after reading it, he put it away.
The second letter was immediately opened by Li Cunxi, who frowned as he read it.
Half an hour later, both letters were repacked. Li Cunxi sat behind the desk, rubbing his temples, suffering from a severe headache.
Outside Li's mansion, Hu Jinghui, the General of the Qianniu Guard, came with the imperial edict. After handing the token to the demon spirit guarding the gate, he was taken to the study and met Li Cunxi.
"On behalf of Li Cunxi, Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, please receive the order!" Hu Jinghui said, holding up the imperial edict.
"Your servant Li Cunxi accepts the order!" Li Cunxi knelt lazily on the ground and began to act.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Li Cunxi is appointed as a Doctor of the Imperial Court, and is appointed as the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture. He is to patrol the Great Zhou on behalf of Heaven, and wherever he goes, it is as if I am there in person!"
"Your Highness Li Cunxi accepts your order!"
Li Cunxi stood up and took the imperial edict.
Hu Jinghui held his sword and sighed, "At the age of thirteen, less than fourteen, you are the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture. This is not a permanent position. It is not easy for you to reach this position in half a year. When you have a dinner party, remember to invite me to the banquet."
"Then I will host a banquet in person. It will be on the last day of April, my birthday. Please invite Brother Jinghui and his wife to come to the banquet. The location is at my house."
"Madam?" Hu Jinghui suddenly smiled, "I know, but I will ask her to wear a veil."
"Then respectfully welcome Brother Jinghui and his wife."
"Okay, I'll go back and report. Cunxi, see you in the court tomorrow."
Li Cunxi escorted Hu Jinghui all the way out of the mansion before returning.
According to the time calculation, the officials from Chang'an will be able to move here in early April. His uncle Di Renjie and his mentor Wu Chengsi will follow the last group of officials to Luoyang. By then, all officials will gather in the court, and Li Cunxi will have the greatest confidence.
"But those three children need to be found."
Li Cunxi returned to the study, muttering to himself.
……
It was almost dawn. There was no court meeting today, but some officials still wanted to meet Wu Zetian.
First, Zong Chuke brought the wounded Zong Qinke into the palace to thank Wu Zetian for her great power. Then the Crown Prince and Prince Xiang came to the palace, hoping to see Princess Taiping off.
As for those who prevented Wu Zetian from sleeping in, she sent them to the Internal Guard House and asked them to supervise the execution at noon.
Princess Taiping had nothing to say when facing her two brothers. She huddled in a corner without revealing any of her body, and had no intention of paying any attention to them.
It was Fenghuang, who was also a woman, who gave Princess Taiping some face. After sending everyone else away, she gave Princess Taiping a set of prison clothes and asked her to change into them herself.
It was soon noon, and the Internal Guards brought Princess Taiping out in advance and sent her to the execution ground.
In addition to the Crown Prince, Prince of Xiang, Zong Qinke, Zong Chuke and several ministers who had paid homage to Wu Zetian, those who came to supervise the execution today also included Prince of Liang Wu Sansi and Luantai Shizhong Zhang Jianzhi.
It was quite a strange thing that such a large group of people were there to supervise the execution of Li Lingyue.
Among those who came to watch the execution were Li Cunxi and Wu Yanhao. After Li Yuanfang was promoted to Inspector General of the Guards, he also came to join in the fun.
At three quarters after noon, King Wu Sansi of Liang gave an order and the executioner sprayed a mouthful of wine on the knife, raised his hand and chopped off Princess Taiping's head.
The curious people took the steamed buns and dipped them in the blood spurting out of the neck cavity, and started eating the buns with the hot and sticky blood.
"I don't want to watch it anymore. I'm going back."
Li Cunxi felt nauseous and turned away.
Wu Yanhao didn't feel anything. He turned around and followed Li Cunxi outside.
This execution ground is Caishikou. It was surrounded before to prevent anyone from robbing the execution ground. Now it seems to be effective. The soldiers of Qianniuwei are defending here. Li Cunxi even saw Hu Jinghui who was directing the soldiers to block the crowd.
"Cunxi, isn't this scene disgusting?"
Li Yuanfang followed happily, as if he was used to it.
"The night I was in charge of arresting ministers in Youzhou, I also chopped off a lot of rebels' heads. The next day, I saw that all the blood on the ground had been licked clean by dogs. Hahahaha."
Li Cunxi sighed: "This is the way the world is."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. His Majesty ordered me to follow you to inspect various places in the Great Zhou..." Wu Yanhao scratched his head, "But there is also bad news. Both of us have poor fighting skills. Can we really leave the Great Zhou alive like this?"
"What are you afraid of? Can't I protect you?"
Li Cunxi sneered, and the voice of the system in his mind slowly sounded.
"It has been detected that Princess Taiping Li Lingyue has been beheaded. The rebels have fled like birds and beasts. All the ministers in the court are in danger. The main quest Bleeding Eagle has been completed!"
"Host obtains the buff 'True Dragon Son'."
"True Dragon Son of Heaven: Possessed by the aura of a true dragon, the throne contender gains one, increases the host's aura, and causes a momentary mental crush on all enemies, with no restrictions on the targets."
"The boss mission Princess Taiping Li Lingyue has been eliminated. Li Lingyue dropped the gold treasure chest among the gold, silver and bronze treasure chests."
"The treasure chest is opened. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special personalities of Princess Taiping Li Lingyue, 'Excessive Paranoia' (discardable), 'Promiscuous' (discardable), 'Ambitious' (discardable), 'My fate is my own' (discardable), 15 free attribute points, 10 physical fitness points, and Princess Taiping Li Lingyue's inheritance of 180 million taels of silver and countless gold and silver jewelry."
After Li Cunxi read the four special personalities one by one, he discarded the first three and only kept "My destiny is in my own hands".
Just by looking at the name, Li Cunxi knew that this would definitely increase self-confidence and willpower.
As for the 180 million taels of silver in the inheritance, Li Cunxi couldn't spend it even if he took it, so he could only hand it over to the Xize Silver Bank.
The key points are free attribute points and physique. Li Cunxi thought for a moment and added all the free attribute points to martial arts.
“Name: Li Cunxi.
Physique: 87.
Force: 55.
Intelligence: 104.
Special personality: My life is in my own hands (used, can be discarded).
Buff: Immune to all poisons, a sword can pierce the heart, the true dragon emperor. "
"Finally, my strength is 55. With the help of Sword Through the Heart and True Dragon Emperor, I should be able to compete with third-rate masters."
Li Cunxi secretly complained in his heart and took the two of them back to the mansion.
After the Bleeding Eagle case, the famous Guanhe Mystery Shadow occurred.
This case is the Chongzhou case. Wang Xiaojie was stabbed in the back by Qiu Jing and was defeated in Dongxieshi Valley. He was defeated by Li Jinmie of the Khitan and his 100,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties.
Later, Wang Xiaojie was misunderstood by Li Kaigu, which led to Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang's preconceived ideas. In addition, he intended to get rid of Qiu Jing and injured Li Yuanfang. He was rejected by Di Renjie and had no choice but to listen to the suggestion of his deputy Su Honghui and return to the court to meet Wu Zetian. On the way, he was stabbed in the back again by Su Honghui and was captured by the Khitan.
It's not miserable.
Li Cunxi still has to figure out how to deal with this case which will not happen until three years later.
