Chapter 407 407. Plea
The eldest prince glanced back at Mr. Li and saw his brows were deeply furrowed. It seemed that this matter was not groundless.
As for Princess Ke herself, she has never made any mistakes.
It was her mother's family who was always causing trouble for them. She originally thought that Li's family would have lush branches and many people, but now she felt that it would be better to have no people, so that she could save the day and let him clean up the mess.
Just when he was about to plead for him, he saw that Emperor Qi was impatient.
Now we have just returned from a victorious battle in the northwest, and there is another flood in the southwest. As an official of the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty, you dont want to worry about me, and you still want to stir up resentment among the people at this time. It is simply audacious!
Facing Feng Jinxu, he shouted loudly, "I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out those corrupt officials who prey on the common people. I will punish them severely!"
"Wei ministers obey your orders!"
Hearing that this matter was entrusted to Feng Jinxu, I was really happy and sad at the same time.
With his uprightness, the eldest prince was afraid that he would reveal all of Li's shady intrigues. On the contrary, Mr. You, who just spoke, was full of pride.
Feng Jinxu is now an official appointed by Emperor Qi to investigate the forced seizure case in the suburbs of Beijing, so it is useless for anyone to plead for mercy.
The Li clan came to Prince Ke's Mansion early to discuss. The eldest prince's face was ashen, and the princess sitting next to him also had a sad face at the moment.
Although she has the emperor's eldest grandson by her side now, if she loses the favor of the eldest prince, she will be different from the past.
He glanced at his brother angrily, as if he hated iron.
Mr. Li did not speak as righteously as he did in the court at this moment, but said to Prince Ke without tears.
Your Majesty, I really didnt ask them to pay it by force. I just casually said that it should be the same as in previous years. Who knew that someone named You would get caught!
"Confused! How has it rained in the past six months? Are you blind? Even if you are blind, what do the people below do for food? They will only cause trouble for me all day long!"
Prince Ke is quite critical of them now, and he is not even willing to speak politely.
After being scolded, Mr. Li did not dare to speak out to defend himself.
Instead, Princess Ke winked desperately, hoping that she would defend herself as before.
Hey, he is still his brother after all. Princess Ke couldnt really see him being implicated in this matter, so she could only bite the bullet and tell her husband.
"Your Majesty, this was an unintentional mistake on his part. Besides, the forcibly confiscated grains have been returned. Could you please please tell me in front of Mr. Feng? People who have been officials for a long time cannot see you without looking up. If we really defeat the Li clan, it will not do any good to the prince."
She has been with Prince Ke for many years, so she naturally knows what words can move him most.
Then he continued, "In a few days, it will be the wedding day of the Nine Emperor Brothers. I am deliberately making a fuss at this time because I think they have a plan against the prince. If the Li family is really allowed to be dragged into the water, won't they be allowed to succeed?"
The Ninth Prince was Prince Ke's thorn in his side. Even in order to prevent the Ninth Prince from being proud, he wanted to keep the Li family.
Otherwise, he has no dignity to speak of in this court, and how can he let others follow him.
Seeing that he was a little moved, Mr. Li immediately stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say. On the night when Duke Wei Guo was assassinated, we arranged for spies outside his house to report that they saw someone inside carrying a body out. As for who it was, we have not yet found out who it was. Yes, I guess this person may be related to the assassin."
Hearing what he said, Prince Ke put away his anger and asked instead.
"Where is the body?" "The people of the Weiguo Palace cut it into eight pieces and threw it into a mass grave, so the appearance was not seen."
Having torn it into pieces, what kind of deep hatred and hatred is worthy of such a move by the Wei family? It seems that Mr. Lis guess is correct.
"Check! Check all the people who may have been bribed that day. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the Wei family's gourd!"
In a few words, the topic of conflict changed.
Prince Ke promised to intercede on his behalf, but Feng Jinxu had a bad reputation, and he was not entirely sure that he could persuade him.
The princess and Mr. Li thought that if the prince spoke, no matter how cruel Feng Jinxu was, he would still be more cautious.
Feng Jinxu always handles cases with lightning speed, and he has not even waited for Prince Ke to speak.
Mr. Li has been "summoned" into Dali Temple and has not been heard from since.
Prince Ke was shocked when he heard this. After all, the Li family was his wife's family. If they were really dismissed and investigated, everyone would look bad, so they hurried to Dali Temple.
After staying for less than half a stick of incense, Prince Ke Ke walked out with a livid face. He stared at the words Dali Temple for a long time, and then walked away.
When Wei Dalang told this matter as a joke to Wei Guogong, he was indifferent.
The left eye is recovering well now. It hurts a bit, but I am lucky to be able to save my life.
"The forced seizure is just a fuss over a molehill. If it doesn't affect the lifeblood of the Li family, has the affairs in Jinling City been properly arranged? That's a big deal."
He is now weak and has to leave many things to Wei Dalang and his subordinates, but he is always a little worried.
Wei Dalang finally got some opportunities in front of Wei Guogong, how could he let it go? Naturally, he said with certainty.
"Father, don't worry. My son has sent a secret message to them to deal with Liang Quanbin. Then all traces of us in Jinling City will be wiped out. Even if Bai Chaoan notices something, there will be no evidence."
Thats good, its just a pain for Laner.
Wei Guogong didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was already very clear.
Since they took action against Liang Quanbin, they naturally abandoned the entire Liang family, and neither Liang Pan nor Liang Luo could stay.
Otherwise, if the brothers and sisters find out, they may cause trouble in the future.
Poor Wei Lanxuan is still immersed in the dream of being a mother and being held in the hands of the Liang family, but she doesn't know that her end will be so miserable in the future!
In Dali Temple, although Mr. Li was imprisoned, no one lynched him.
At this moment, there is a shocking secret on Feng Jinxus desk.
These past few days have been about investigating matters in the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, this is not a big deal for the Li family. On the contrary, a bearded man in his village is particularly arrogant and unreasonable.
Not only did he frequently beat and scold the tenant farmers below, but this time he forced a family to sell their children and daughters in order to forcibly pay for grain. In the end, the couple hanged themselves at home. This gave Mr. You a handle and thus implicated Mr. Li.
The investigation of this bearded man was clear on paper. In fact, the culpability was not difficult to find. Now that he had the evidence, it would be easy to catch this man. But what made him doubtful was a name he had never heard of before.
