After sending Zhao Bu away, Wang Li's attention immediately returned to Lian Yi and others.
Although Zhang Han succeeded in diverting Wang Li's attention by provoking Ye Mingzhu, it was a pity that he could not completely read this article.
"Miss Lianyi, why did Ji Bu's stolen goods appear in your room?" Wang Li took the lead in targeting Lianyi.
Facing the approaching oppression of this battle-hardened imperial general, Lian Yi felt panicked in her heart, and her thoughts could not be condensed at all.
Wang Li is not as good as his grandfather, nor can he be as good as his father, but he has also fought his way through a hail of bullets and has experienced countless wars, large and small.
Once he gets serious, his momentum alone is enough to make ordinary people unbearable.
Fortunately, Lian Yi was not an ordinary woman. Even at this moment, she still managed to regain her composure and responded as calmly as possible:
"This is a gift left by a guest a few days ago. I saw that it was not valuable, so I kept it."
"Haha..." Wang Li sneered, his eyes echoing between Lian Yi and Lian Xin, "The girl next to Ying Bu, the box left by Ji Bu, the house of Miss Lian Yi is really lively."
After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Han, "Brother, was there anything missing in the Changping Jun's suppression case back then?"
Zhang Han pretended to think deeply and then replied, "As of now, only the two daughters of Lord Changping are still missing."
"Oh?" Wang Li raised his brows and said meaningfully, "Look at your age, are you similar to the two of them?"
Zhang Han couldn't help but frowned.
Is Wang Li a little too sensitive?
He probably didn't know anything about Lord Changping's family before, but now he revealed the truth with one word... Even if it was just a guess, it was too accurate.
Can the two girls related to Chu's rebellion be directly linked to the orphan of Lord Changping?
Or did he just say it casually and just want to find an excuse to make trouble?
Zhang Han's heart was full of doubts. He felt that there were too many things about Wang Li's actions today that he couldn't figure out.
Of course, the top priority now is to help Chang Pingjun's orphan get through this difficult time.
Hua Ying stepped forward to defend her sister at this time, "General, Lian Yi is clearly a civilian in distress from the Qi State, how can he have anything to do with the Chu State?"
Wang Li ignored his beloved beauty and ordered with a cold face, "Bai Tu, go and bring Ying Bu over to me!"
"yes!"
As soon as he heard that Wang Li was willing to use him, Bai Tu couldn't help but snickered and quickly followed the order, walking with a very awkward posture.
Zhang Han pretended to remind Wang Li at this time, "Yingbu is a soldier. It may be difficult for the general to get the answer he wants from him."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Li sneered nonchalantly, "Since they are all innocent civilians in trouble and have nothing to do with Yingbu, then there must be no reaction if Yingbu dies in front of them."
Wang Li was deliberately looking for trouble.
It's strange that a young girl and a half-year-old child didn't react when they saw someone dying in front of them.
Lian Yi is older and may be able to endure and remain calm, but the immature Lian Xin will definitely be frightened, even if Ying Bu really has nothing to do with her.
In fact, Lian Xin was also frightened.
For her, Lian Yi, a sister she had just met, was not enough to make her believe that only Ying Bu could feel safe enough.
But now, Wang Li, an imperial general who looked murderous and terrifying to her, said that he wanted to kill Ying Bu, which had almost completely broken her fragile heart.
Panicked, Lianxin tried to escape from this dangerous place, looking for Yingbu who could really make her feel safe.
It's a pity that with such a small body, how could she run away under Wang Li's nose? She was grabbed by the throat and carried in mid-air.
Huaying quickly stopped Lianyi, who subconsciously wanted to save her sister, and signaled her to calm down.
Wang Li pinched Lian Xin, but was a little distracted.
He seemed to have felt a fleeting murderous aura just now, but it seemed like it was just an illusion.
Zhang Han's eyes looked around vaguely.
He also noticed the murderous aura.
After thinking about it for a while, Yingbu put down the murderous intention. His most important thing right now was to deal with people like Lianyi.
"Miss Lianyi, as long as you tell the truth, I can consider letting Yingbu live for two more days, or I can let this girl go."
In Wang Li's palm, Lian Xin struggled painfully, but it was all in vain, and her breathing became increasingly difficult.
Looking at this scene, Lian Yi clenched his hands unconsciously, but had to pretend to be calm on his face and replied:
"I don't understand what the general means. Everything Lian Yi said is true and there is absolutely no deception."
"Ha!" Wang Li sneered, not caring about Lian Yi's lack of cooperation.
It doesn't matter if you like to fight stubbornly, it depends on how long you can hold it?
When this girl is about to die and Yingbu is about to die, it will only make sense if we can still hold on.
Seeing this, Huaying had no choice but to try to resolve the crisis again, "General, there are visitors from all directions in Zuimenglou, dragons and snakes are mixed together. This box really has nothing to do with Lian Yi."
Wang Li still did not give face to his beloved beauty, and warned coldly, "A beauty cannot protect herself, so it is better to say less."
He was indeed very kind to Hua Ying. Even though he was determined to deal with Lian Yi, he had no intention of involving Hua Ying and the entire Zuimenglou.
Of course, his tolerance is limited. If Huaying doesn't recognize her, he won't be reluctant to part with a beautiful woman.
Hua Ying could see Wang Li's attitude, but she still couldn't stand idly by, pretending to be coquettish and said, "General, does Hua Ying also doubt it?"
Hua Ying's entanglement made Wang Li's attitude even colder, and he warned again, "Do you know what Lian Si is? Collusion and rebellion, there will be no one left alive in Zuimenglou!"
Zhang Han finally seized the opportunity and intervened:
"General, be careful what you say!"
Wang Li frowned, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
To collude and rebel is to sit together.
Of course, there is room for control as to how far he can sit down, so he can keep Zuimenglou or not.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Han responded with a smile, "Collusion and rebellion will be punished, but... the case of Lord Changping, as Marquis Wu Cheng destroyed the Chu State many years ago
It’s over now and can’t be implicated any more.”
The Kingdom of Chu was destroyed, and the suppression of the Qing Dynasty by Lord Changping was also completed. With Fusu's great mediation, everything came to an end.
Zhang Han's words were a warning to the eldest son Fusu, or a reminder to Wang Li - it's okay to arrest the rebels, but don't get involved in the old case of Lord Changping.
As long as the Chang Pingjun case is not involved, there is still room for Lian Yi's matter to be reduced to a minor matter.
Those who do not know are not guilty. Accepting the stolen goods stolen by Ji Bu is not a capital crime after all.
As for Lian Xin, a little girl who has just recovered from a serious illness, there is no room for improvement.
But even so, there is still one key point that needs to be dealt with in order to quell this accident, and that is Yingbu.
In any case, Yingbu cannot be allowed to appear in this room and face Lianyi and others.
A reckless soldier, an immature child, and an emotional woman. When these three come together, it is impossible for them to put on a perfect play.
But at this point, Zhang Han was powerless.
He only hoped that Yingbu's companions could play some role.
They are all famous people, so please stop being pig teammates!
Faced with Zhang Han's warning, Wang Li curled his lips and did not give in directly after careful consideration.
Of course he would give Fusu some face.
But he is not from the eldest son's faction, and Fusu has been released and has lost power, so there is no need to pay special attention to Fusu's attitude.
Of course he won't take the initiative to provoke when he shouldn't cross the line, but he doesn't need others to tell him what to do.
"Listening to what brother Zhang Han said, it seems that he knows a lot of inside information?" Wang Li turned to look at Zhang Han and asked with a hint.
Zhang Han smiled and said, "The inside story? If the general hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't know where the door of Zuimeng Tower opens."
"I don't know anything about Lord Changping, and I don't want to know about it. I just want to remind the general."
"Hmph!" Wang Li pulled the corner of his mouth with a smile, "Then General...Thank you, brother Zhang Han, for reminding me."
"However, state-owned and state laws are related to rebels. You can't just say you won't investigate them, brother."
Zhang Han maintained restraint, spoke calmly, and did not show any aggression. "Of course the rebels cannot be let go, but the case of Mr. Changping cannot cause more trouble."
"This is not only the intention of His Highness the eldest son, but also the instruction of the Imperial Master."
Wang Li frowned when he heard Gu Xun's name.
After Fusu was released, the only person in the eldest son's faction that he could worry about was Gu Xun.
However, although Gu Xun has a strong connection with the saints, there is no need for the Wang family to be afraid of him.
Wang Li was still unwilling to give in - it was not because he was trying to gain some momentum, but because he wanted to understand why Zhang Han wanted to stop him.
"I, the general, naturally have great respect for His Royal Highness the eldest son and the Imperial Master, but... I also have my responsibilities, brother."
"I want to eat the king's salary..."
Wang Li planned to use Ying Zheng's name to block all Zhang Han's words.
However, Zhang Han blocked him first:
"This is also what His Majesty the Emperor means."
"..." Wang Li's expression froze and then turned gloomy, "Is this an order from His Majesty the Emperor?"
Zhang Han shook his head and said, "I have not returned to Xianyang to report on my work recently. This was told to me by the Imperial Master."
"I have reminded the general before that the Shadow Guards do not obey the orders of any officials in the empire, and the Imperial Advisor is no exception."
"He was just conveying the wishes of His Majesty the Emperor."
Zhang Han's words are not false, but they cannot be said to be true.
Gu Xun did not tell him specifically about Changping Lord, so the intention of conveying it to the emperor was naturally empty talk.
However, it was impossible for Wang Li to seek evidence from Gu.
The most he could do was report it to Xianyang and ask the emperor directly.
Then it will be over.
No matter what His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is, he will not go out of his way to find Gu Xun for such a trivial matter. Even if he does, the latter will be able to get over it with just a casual perfunctory.
Zhang Han is sure of this.
First, because these matters are too small and insignificant to His Majesty the Emperor and Gu Xun.
The second reason is that His Majesty the Emperor's own attitude towards the case of Lord Changping is exactly what Zhang Han said.
It is true that the case was settled because of Fusu's mediation, but the emperor was the only one who could really make the decision.
The so-called settlement is not the attitude of the eldest son Fusu, but the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor.
Wang Li didn't know the inside story as well as Zhang Han, but he at least knew that since Zhang Han said so, he had to believe it.
As for the verification...it's totally meaningless.
Wang Li could continue to pursue the case despite the pressure from the fallen eldest son Fusu and the imperial master Gu Xun, but he could never go against the will of His Majesty the Emperor...even if it was the Emperor's will that could not be completely determined.
Now, he must give in.
He would not mention a word about the contents of Lord Changping, and the box that Ji Bu stole would just pretend that it did not exist.
However, we cannot let go of the problem of rebels.
"Brother Zhang Han is saying that I am too sensitive."
Although Wang Li wanted to save face, when he had to give in, he was not ambiguous at all. He laughed very naturally, let go of Lian Xin, and turned over this article.
"However, Bai Tu's report still needs to be investigated thoroughly to confirm whether this little girl has anything to do with Ying Bu."
"Of course." Zhang Han nodded with a smile.
At this point, Zhang Han has reached his limit.
If the situation still develops in the worst direction, he can only point out everything and force Wang Li to stop.
To be honest, he didn't want to come to this point because he didn't know if he could suppress Wang Li.
Today's Zuimeng Tower is Wang Li's home court.
Falling out is not a wise choice, let alone a useful choice.
Just when Lian Yi looked worriedly at Lian Xin, who was almost unconscious and paralyzed on the ground, Bai Tu ran in in a panic and fell to his knees with a plop:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No, General!"
"Yingbu ran away!"
"What!?" Wang Li became anxious upon hearing this.
Now the only card he has left is Yingbu, and you tell me that the card is gone?
Also, Zuimenglou was surrounded by hundreds of armor-piercing soldiers. How did they escape?
Bai Tu added timidly, "The guard guarding said... said... said Miss Huaying took someone away."
It was extremely difficult for Bai Tu to say this sentence, stumbling, and his voice became quieter the more he said it.
Bai Tu had messed up everything that was perfect. Wang Li looked at him now as if he were looking at a piece of shit. It was bad luck, and when he heard that he gave him such a nonsense answer, he suddenly became angry.
He just kicked him:
"None of your dogs has ever seen her leave!"
Whether it was for personal selfishness or for her own reputation, Huaying, a woman who was close to him, could not have a direct relationship with the rebels.
Not to mention, according to Bai Tu, Hua Ying is basically a rebel.
Of course, if it was true, Wang Li would not go out of his way to cover it up, otherwise it would be a small gain at the expense of a big gain.
But now that it was clear that Bai Tu and the others had been tricked, and he was almost involved, it would be strange if Wang Li wasn't angry.
Bai Tu, who was kicked to the ground, also knew that his words would only make Wang Li angry, but it would not work if he didn't say it. He could only kneel down quickly again, kowtow like garlic and said:
"No! No! It's just a humble job and I didn't check it for a while..."
"Hmph!" Wang Li waved his hand and ordered sternly, "Drag all the trash who is guarding Yingbu and chop them down!"
When Bai Tu heard this, he was even more frightened and trembled all over. He clung to the ground and did not dare to get up at all.
In the past two days, he was either begging for mercy or on the way to begging for mercy, which was quite miserable.
