Chapter 836： Victory comes too easily!

Chapter 836 Victory comes too easily!

"Yes, Your Majesty, our family also thought that this matter was over. But I didn't expect that within a few days, someone would send a dead soldier to assassinate Fu Niuer!"

Li Laoer continued, and the emperor and Manager Yi both frowned in surprise.

"A dead soldier?" The emperor did not believe it. "Are you sure you are a dead soldier?"

“Your Majesty, it was my little grandson’s full-moon wine day, and two assassins came. One poisoned and caused chaos, and the other wanted to kidnap Fu Niuer.

“After the failure, they gritted their fangs and vomited black blood and died. Our family then guessed that they were dead soldiers. After all, ordinary people are not so vicious!

“Fortunately it was discovered in time, otherwise our whole family would be dead now!”

Li Laoer still gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought about the danger that day, "Your Majesty, I don't know where we offended someone in our family, and we were treated like this.

“I don’t know what the other party wants to do by kidnapping Fu Niu’er, so they can only keep Fu Niu’er at home and not let her come out.

"But yesterday Fu Niu'er was a naughty child. She dressed up as a boy and went to the shop with the boys at home. As a result, she was assassinated by a dead soldier again.

“Fortunately, Prince Lu Zonglu went with us and brought his guards with him, and finally the three assassins were caught. There were also two men and the steward who were responsible for informing the news, and they were all arrested.”

“Can we find out who is behind the scenes?” the emperor urged.

At this moment, he was more curious than angry. He also wanted to know which family in Xindu was raising dead soldiers.

Li Laoer hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Everyone confessed, and they obeyed the orders of...the Wu family of Jiangning Marquis Mansion!"

“What? Impossible!”

The emperor's expression changed at that time, and there was an indescribable shock in his eyes.

Neither Li Laoer nor Jiayin could tell anything was wrong.

As a result, Manager Yi stepped forward to cover for the emperor again and whispered comfortingly: "Your Majesty, what Uncle Li said must be well-founded. You should calm down first and then listen to what Uncle Li has to say."

The emperor came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Ai Qing continues, no matter who it is, I will definitely make the decision for you."

Li Laoer suppressed the doubts in his heart and said quickly: "Your Majesty, my ministers and my family can't believe it either.

"Because our Li family has never had any grievances with the Jiangning Houfu! Why would the Houfu attack our family, especially the child Fu Niuer?"

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I ask the emperor to forgive me. In order to find out this matter, I asked the veterans at home to go to the nearby Marquis Mansion to inquire.

“It happened that Mrs. Wu’s personal maid came out of the house, so I had her tied up. After interrogation, I finally found out the whole story.

“It turns out that Mrs. Wu heard from an old Taoist priest that my Fu Niu’er is blessed. If the queen can drink a bowl of Fu Niu’er’s blood, she will be able to borrow good luck and become pregnant with the prince immediately..."

“Nonsense!”

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore. He slapped the table and cursed: "Have the Wu family's brains been eaten by dogs? You actually believe such nonsense?!"

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Li Laoer’s eyes turned red with hatred, “Anyone who heard this would know it was a lie, but the Wu family believed it!

“They sent dead soldiers to assassinate Fu Niuer again and again, trying to cut out Fu Niuer’s heart!

“Our family doesn’t want to cause any trouble to the emperor, and we don’t want the emperor to have to deal with such troublesome matters besides worrying about government affairs.

“But Your Majesty, everyone in my family who has some ability is out there serving the country loyally.

“I am the only useless person left in the family, living with the elderly and children. I really don’t have the ability to protect Fu Niu’er! Please make the decision for our family and protect Fu Niu’er’s life!

"My fourth son treats my daughter as an eyeball. He is braving the wind and snow in the north and killing barbarians, but my daughter's heart and liver were torn out at home. I, the elder brother, can't explain it!" Li Laoer kowtows and cries as he talks. His sobs were loud, making everyone feel sad.

The emperor was so guilty that he couldn’t even face it!

 With all the powerful and high-ranking officials in the civil and military dynasties and Xindu, one by one, they are all living in a corner, drunk and dreaming.

Only the Li family has titles and fiefs, but they refuse to be lazy at all.

Those who are able to fight at home go to battle to kill the enemy, those who are able to run boats go out to look for new seeds, and even the young men are killing Japanese pirates and sending envoys abroad!

The remaining old, weak, women and children took the trouble to grow some vegetables and fruits, and happily sent them to the palace to give him a change of taste.

They are such a loyal, hard-working and sincere family. As an emperor, he did not give them any generous rewards, but instead made them suffer such great injustice. It is really shameful.

Especially those who bully the Li family are the gang of losers from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion!

No wonder the queen was ill last night. She must have known that her family had planned this for her and it failed, so she was trying to avoid responsibility by claiming to be ill!

For so many years, he only thought that his first wife was stupid, but he didn't expect that she and her natal family would hide so deeply.

Perhaps back then…

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it into pieces, and then said loudly: "According to my decree, the Jiangning Marquis Mansion has failed to live up to the king's kindness. It is a heinous crime! The whole family will be demoted to common people, and everyone will be imprisoned, waiting to be punished!"

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Manager Yi responded quickly.

The imperial edict was quickly drafted and then sent to the table. The emperor personally picked up the jade seal and printed it heavily...

The midday sun in winter shines on the palace gate and the city walls on both sides, bringing a slight warmth.

This is also the favorite moment for the guards. They can just be lazy for a while, bask in the sun, rub their hands that are red from the cold, and stamp their numb feet...

At this time, a group of people suddenly came out of the palace gate, and the leader was actually Manager Yi who was beside the emperor.

All the guards immediately stood up straight and did not dare to be lazy and fish.

Manager Yi directed the young **** to deliver all the things in his hands to the Li family's carriage, and then he saluted and said: "Uncle, you and the princess go slowly. I have to go to Jiangninghou's Mansion, so I won't accompany you." ”

Li Laoer quickly returned the favor and said with a smile: "Sorry, sir."

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and whispered as if gossiping: "This matter really caused trouble for the emperor today!

"You said Mrs. Wu was fine at home. Why did she want to go to Qingcheng to visit it in such a cold weather? She went right away. Why did she happen to meet an old immortal again?

"The Queen is the same. She doesn't want to discuss such a big matter with the Emperor. There is no one around her to advise her. Why is the Queen allowed to act more and more..."

After saying that, he seemed to realize that he had overstepped his bounds, so he quickly stopped talking and saluted with a dry smile.

Manager Yi's eyes flashed, and he had some concerns in his mind, but he still smiled and pretended that he didn't understand.

After a few more idle words, Li Laoer got into the carriage with the good news.

The carriage quickly ran away, and Jiayin breathed a sigh of relief until the palace wall was no longer visible.

The same is true for Li Laoer.

The two men looked at each other and said in unison: "There's something wrong with this!"
