Chapter 1096 News leaked

In the evening, Changsun Wuji saw Changsun rushing back and immediately asked: "How is it? Have you sold it?"

Changsun Chong nodded and said: "Sell it, but Dad, why are you so anxious to sell it? We have lost thirty thousand guan."

"Thirty thousand guan! Humph, if you don't sell it today, you may lose 100,000 guan tomorrow." Changsun Wuji sneered.

"Why?" Changsun Chong asked curiously.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Now is not the time for you to know. As long as you know, your father and I will not return the family. You go and rest first."

"Oh." Changsun Chong nodded.

…

After Du Ruhui returned home, he did not notify the Du family to sell the stocks. He knew that Chang'an might be in chaos this time. If the Du family could help the court, they would help the court. Maybe it would be a good thing for the Du family.

Wei Zheng's face looked very bad. After returning home, he didn't even ask for food. He locked himself in the study and ignored anyone who knocked on the door.

That night, a group of forbidden troops came to the Lantian Marquis Mansion and took Ye Ruping and the Black Lotus Sect protector away from the basement.

The next day, a shocking news spread throughout Chang'an.

"Have you heard? The current prince-in-law, Lantian Hou Li Feng, was attacked by Yan Huo, the former deputy leader of the Maitreya Sect, and was seriously injured. The imperial doctors are now helpless.

Finally, we invited an old miraculous doctor to come over and take a look. So far, we still don’t know whether the prince-in-law is alive or dead," said a commoner.

Another commoner said: "Why don't you know life and death? You are dead. For this reason, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill the deputy leader of the Maitreya Sect and all the monsters of the Maitreya Sect."

"They deserved to kill the consort."

"..."

In the imperial study room, Li Junxian informed Li Er about the rumors about Li Feng that were circulating in Chang'an. Li Er was furious on the spot and asked Li Junxian to escort Yanhuo and the Black Dragon Cult protector to the execution ground now.

Li Junxian accepted the order, so he took the prisoner out of the death row, and then asked Changsun Wuji to go to the execution ground with him.

Changsun Wuji went out after learning the reason. Now the news of Li Feng's murder has spread like wildfire. In addition to Li Er's anger, Chang'an will also be in chaos.

He was secretly glad that he had sold all his stocks yesterday, otherwise they would have suffered heavy losses today.

Fang Xuanling and others also got the rumor and rushed into the palace immediately.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The news of Li Feng's murder has leaked out somehow. The court should take precautions as soon as possible." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Er said with a gloomy face: "I have already sent people to investigate. We must find out who leaked the news. I will never let them go lightly."

"Your Majesty, the top priority is not to find the person who leaked the news, but to arrange for people to guard each city gate as soon as possible, as well as go to the Blue Sky Trading Center and the bank to avoid chaos and shake the foundation of the Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling said.

"Let Wei Zheng go to the Blue Sky Trading Center and take all the money from me and the treasury. The stock market must not collapse.

By the way, call Yan Shuyi and the others, they know the best about the stock market, you can all listen to them." Li Er said in a deep voice.

"I will make arrangements now."

"Wait a minute, after you notify Wei Zheng, go find Tang Jian. You and Tang Jian will guard the bank together," Li Er said.

"It's Your Majesty."

After Fang Xuanling left, a smile appeared on Li Er's lips, and a figure appeared in a corner of the imperial study, but he wore a mask on his face.

Li Er looked at him and said, "I hope your plan will succeed."

The masked man smiled and said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, it will definitely succeed. Once I leave, the court will try its best to cover up the news of my death, so that everyone will think that I am really dead."

"Don't worry, I know what to do, and you have to promise me that you will come back unscathed," Li Er said.

"I will." The masked man said and left.

At Changsun Mansion, Li Junxian came to invite Changsun Wuji in person.

After learning the news, Changsun Wuji told Changsun Chong a few words and followed Li Junxian to the execution ground.

Only then did Changsun Chong know what happened, and finally understood why Changsun Wuji asked him to sell all his stocks.

At the Lantian Marquis Mansion, Wei Zheng came directly to invite Yan Shuyi and the others to the Lantian Trading Center.

By this time, the four girls had learned about the rumors on the street, and began to feel frightened.

"No, my husband will be fine. I don't believe that anything will happen to him." Li Lizhi said with a blank look on her face. He said nothing and didn't believe that Li Feng could be beaten to death so easily.

Yan Shuyi consoled her: "Li Zhi, don't worry, these are all rumors. How can we believe them?"

Li Wan nodded and said: "Shuyi is right. I know your husband's martial arts very well. There are few people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can be my opponent."

"But I'm still worried." Li Lizhi said.

Li Qingyu frowned slightly and said, "Okay, stop talking, I feel something is not right about this matter."

Yan Shuyi said: "Sister Qingyu, have you noticed it too?"

Li Li asked: "What's wrong?"

"The letter from my husband." Yan Shuyi replied, "It seems that my husband had already expected that there would be a lot of gossip today. Let us firmly believe that our husband is still alive and ignore the rumors."

Li Lizhi also reacted and said: "Yes, why did my husband write such a letter to us? The letter was given to us by Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling said that we could go to his father. Could it be that his father and our husband had conspired together?

?”

Li Qingyu said: "Li Zhi is right, it is likely that my uncle and husband are planning something big, and this matter is related to the Maitreya Cult.

Otherwise, why did they take away all the people in the basement overnight, why didn't they send someone to take them away in an honest and fair manner?"

"Then I will go back to the palace now to ask my father about the situation."

"Don't go. If you go now, it will only ruin the big things for your uncle and husband." Li Qingyu said, "Don't ask me about big things. I don't know. Even if I know, I won't tell you.

Since my husband doesn’t tell us, it means we can’t know about it. For the sake of my husband’s safety, everyone agrees that he is still alive, do you understand?”

At this time, Li Qingyu showed her majesty as a big lady, and Li Lizhi and the other three nodded in agreement.

Uncle Fu came in at this time and said: "Four madams, Mr. Wei Zheng Wei wants to see you."

"Let him come in." Li Qingyu said.

"yes."

After a while, Wei Zheng came to the reception hall, raised his hands to Li Qingyu and the four ladies and said: "Four ladies, the situation is urgent and I have no time to elaborate. Now there are rumors everywhere in Chang'an that the prince-in-law has been murdered.

The imperial court is worried that there will be chaos in the stock market, so it wants to invite the princess, Lady Shuyi, to come out to scare Xiao Xiao in the stock market."

Li Qingyu nodded and said: "I can help, I want to know about my husband."

"I don't know the specific situation. At that time, the prince-in-law said that there was a way to deal with the Maitreya Cult and asked all of us to get out.

There were only three people left in the royal study: Your Majesty, Yan Huo and the Consort. When we entered again, the Consort had already been poisoned."
