After leading the troops of the Li family out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Li Qinzai went straight to Zongzheng Temple with a frosty face.
When people are impulsive, they don't care about etiquette and laws, but at this moment, Li Qinzai's mind is particularly clear. He knows exactly what he is doing and what consequences he will suffer after doing it.
There are things a real man should do and things he should not do.
Every adult is burdened with ruthless shackles, some are family, some are wives and children, and some are moral.
Li Qinzai didn't know what he was carrying. He only knew that if he couldn't save the two princesses today, this incident would become his inner demon for the rest of his life. Every moment, there would be a voice in his mind that kept condemning, "You have failed a student."
Trust me, you are not worthy of being a teacher.
If you want to get rid of your inner demons, you must conquer them today.
With quick steps, Li Qinzai led everyone through Zhuque Street, and a group of nearly a hundred people went straight to Zongzheng Temple.
Li Sujie almost trotted behind him, panting and saying: "Sir, Li Yifu is trusted by the queen, and he is still a county prince. If there is a dispute, sir, please don't be impulsive. We only save two sisters, and don't conflict with Li Yifu."
…”
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said: "Are you ignorant of the world or are you just stupid? You don't have good words when scolding, and you don't have good skills when fighting. Don't you understand this? Once there is a dispute, who can control the situation?"
Li Sujie was stunned for a moment, then continued: "If the conflict cannot be avoided, there is nothing we can do. I will bear all the blame for the crime afterwards. I will tell my father that it was my idea and everything has nothing to do with the teacher."
Li Qinzai said calmly: "You only have one head, so I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it. The queen is thinking of a reason to kill you. You'd better give it to me with both hands."
"But this disciple really doesn't want to implicate sir..."
Li Qinzai smiled: "It's not a burden, I'll help you carry it first. If I can't carry it anymore in the end, I will push you out at that time. You will be kind to me."
Nearly a hundred people soon arrived in front of Zongzheng Temple.
The soldiers on duty at the door were frightened when they saw a group of people suddenly blocking the door, and hurriedly ran in to report the news.
The remaining soldiers pressed their hands on the hilts of their swords and stared at Li Qinzai and others with wary expressions.
Li Qinzai took two steps forward and said, "Is Li Yifu here?"
The soldier nodded subconsciously.
Li Qinzai hummed and said: "My visit today has nothing to do with you. You'd better not stop me. Later, you, the ministers of Zongzheng Temple, will impeach the emperor. This is not something you can afford to interfere with. Please get out of the way."
The soldiers at the door did not dare to give way.
Li Qinzai quickly winked at Liu Asi.
Liu Asi also knew how to act appropriately. He did not draw the sword, but took it off with the scabbard, waved the scabbard and rushed towards Zongzheng Temple.
Nearly a hundred members of the Li family also rushed in, quickly scattering the soldiers at the door.
Zongzheng Temple is not an important official office. It only deals with the illegal affairs of the royal family. This kind of official office rarely opens once a year. It is basically a Qingshui Yamen. There are naturally surprisingly few soldiers on duty in the temple.
The Li Family Trilogy rushed in effortlessly.
After stepping into the gate of Zongzheng Temple, Li Qinzai waved his hand, and the tribe followed him towards the backyard.
The backyard of Zongzheng Temple is no different from the backyard of a wealthy family. The difference is that the backyard of Zongzheng Temple is specially used to imprison royal family members who have violated the law.
The treatment of royal family members is higher than that of ordinary prisoners. Even if they break the law, the conditions of food, clothing and housing are very comfortable.
The tribe followed Li Qinzai and drove all the way straight to the backyard.
In the archway of the backyard, a dozen imperial guardsmen surrounded an eunuch, and an old man wearing purple official robes stood beside him.
Li Qinzai recognized him at a glance. The old man was Li Yifu, and the eunuch next to him was unfamiliar to him.
In front of Li Yifu and the eunuch, two women wearing old palace dresses were hugging each other and crying. They were full of helplessness and despair, their faces were covered with tears, and they still looked charming despite being in a desperate situation.
As the Li family members suddenly broke into the backyard, Li Yifu and the imperial guards were stunned and looked at them stupidly.
Seeing the helpless look of her two sisters, Li Sujie couldn't help but glare with anger. She rushed over first, but was stopped by the imperial army's sword.
Li Qinzai's face darkened and he snorted.
The scabbard in Liu Asi's hand flew out, knocking back the imperial army who was blocking Li Sujie a few steps.
Li Sujie rushed to the two princesses, knelt down on one knee and cried loudly: "My two sisters are suffering, Sujie is here to save you!"
The older Princess Yiyang quickly glanced at Li Yifu, then pushed Li Sujie fiercely and said angrily: "What nonsense! What are you doing here? Don't risk your life!"
Li Sujie held the hands of her two sisters and burst into tears.
After Li Yifu was stunned for a short time, he immediately glanced at Li Qinzai, who was standing not far away with a smile.
Their eyes collided in the air.
Li Qinzai was young and could not be rude, so he took the initiative to bow his hands and salute: "I pay my respects to Duke Li."
Li Yifu tried his best to force out a smile: "It turns out he is the child of Mr. Ying's family, haha, it's been a long time."
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "It's presumptuous to be a lower-ranking official. Please forgive me, Duke Li."
Li Yifu glanced at the three siblings who were holding each other's arms and crying, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Li County, today is..."
Li Qinzai said: "Regardless of whether the two princesses are guilty or not, Zongzheng Temple has not concluded the case. If they are executed, it would be against the rules and untalented officials. They have the audacity to ask for personal favors from Duke Li. After all, they are your majesty's flesh and blood, and they are two weak people."
Women, why not leave them a way to live?"
Li Yifu's face grew colder and he said indifferently: "Although County Uncle Li is a regular servant of Sanqi, clan affairs are not within your authority. Did County Uncle Li overstep his bounds?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in his words, Li Qinzai smiled without scruples and said: "Jun Gong Li is also a foreign minister. If it comes to overstepping, you and I are the same, so there is no need to blame each other."
Li Yifu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, do you know who sent me here?"
Li Qinzai also smiled and said, "I know."
Li Yifu's smile gradually faded: "You know?"
"I know."
Li Yifu's face suddenly darkened: "You know how dare you act like this? Do you know that you have already caused a big disaster?"
Li Qinzai sneered and said: "Don't say whether the two princesses are really the masterminds of the Weisheng case. Even if they are, the minister of Zongzheng Temple must report to the emperor and clarify the canonical punishment before the execution can be carried out. Duke Li has not received the imperial edict and has to give it privately without judgment."
We are the flesh and blood of the dead emperor, which one of us is causing trouble?"
Li Yifu hesitated for a moment, then became angry and said: "Li Qinzai, do you really not consider the consequences?"
Li Qinzai said solemnly: "I am retrialing the case of Yan Sheng according to the emperor's decree. Whether the two princesses are guilty or not has not yet been determined. No one can touch them until the truth is revealed!"
Li Yifu was furious: "What if I have to carry out the execution?"
Li Qinzai responded tit for tat: "You can try."
Li Yifu shouted: "Come here and serve poisonous wine to the two princesses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinzai also shouted: "The Li family obeys orders, whoever dares to serve poisonous wine will destroy him!"
