Li Qi did not expect that yesterday's incident at the brothel would be used to make a fuss.
Only then did he suddenly realize that it was not his person who was simply drunk and causing trouble, and his relationship had been manipulated.
But at this moment, Li Qi still warned himself that he must stay calm and never reveal his flaws.
"I don't understand what you are talking about at all. As for you talking about the brothel, let me tell you that last night, one of our people did get drunk and made a scene in the brothel. I have already taught him a lesson.
"As for what he said when he was drunk, I have no control over it and I can't believe it."
Li Qi took the initiative and planned to block Prime Minister Wen's words first.
But Prime Minister Wen didn't care at all, and continued to talk to Li Qi calmly: "Is it possible that Mr. Li is feeling guilty? I haven't said anything yet. Mr. Li doesn't need to explain anything."
"I just want to remind Prime Minister Wen not to think that you can just put any crime on a drunk person." Li Qi snorted coldly.
"That's natural, but I would like to ask Lord Li, why did your Imperial Master want to arrest our Mr. Zhuri?" Prime Minister Wen suddenly asked Li Qi with cold eyes.
The sudden mention of the Imperial Master made Li Qi look stern.
I was also panicking. The other party actually knew about it even the Imperial Master. Could it be that that bastard really said something in the brothel?
For a moment, it was difficult for Li Qi to keep calm, but he still said forcefully: "Why would our Imperial Master arrest you, Mr. Zhuri? Prime Minister Wen can eat whatever he likes, but he can't talk nonsense."
Prime Minister Wen sneered and immediately said to Emperor Wu: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask that a few brothel women come to testify. In addition, Wang Yuan, the envoy of Tianli, also comes to confront me."
Wang Yuan was the general who caused trouble in the brothel.
Li Qi's expression changed slightly, but Prime Minister Wen had already said so, and he knew that if he continued to block him, he would be criticized.
Of course Emperor Wu agreed, and not long after, several beautiful-looking brothel girls walked into the court timidly.
It was the first time for them to see so many high-ranking officials, not to mention that Emperor Wu was also here. It was impossible not to be nervous.
Similarly, Wang Yuan also came. At this time, although he had not completely sobered up, he was already sober.
It's just that he still doesn't know why he was called here? Could it be that because he caused trouble in the brothel, he also made trouble in the court?
When he saw the women from the brothel, he also muttered in his heart, "As for that? It's not like they didn't give any money?"
However, in Wang Yuan's view, although this matter is not very glorious, so what? It is really making a fuss out of a molehill.
After being brought into the court, Wang Yuan subconsciously wanted to come to Li Qi's side, but was held down by Prime Minister Wen's order.
Li Qi did intend to remind Wang Yuan. When he saw this scene, he immediately said angrily to Prime Minister Wen: "Prime Minister Wen, what are you doing? It's just a confrontation, it doesn't have to be like this, Wang Yuan can't run away?"
Prime Minister Wen said calmly: "Master Li, please forgive me. It is better to do this before the matter is clarified. Otherwise, we can only assume that what he has done and what he said is true."
Li Qi's expression changed. Knowing that he was on his own territory, he could only watch helplessly.
But he did not forget to say to Wang Yuan: "You just need to cooperate. Think carefully about what you have said."
Wang Yuan was a little confused, "I just visited a brothel, what can I say?"
As for how the conflict started yesterday, Wang Yuan really couldn't remember clearly, but he vaguely remembered that a very beautiful woman took the initiative to drink with him, and he drank a lot after going back and forth.
Later, he seemed to have a fight with someone and was thrown out.
After that, he didn't remember anything.
But Wang Yuan was not stupid. At this moment, he saw a clue and realized that what happened in the brothel yesterday seemed not simple.
At this time, Wen Cheng asked the women, "Is that him?"
The women nodded, "It's him, it's him, he's just a beast."
Wang Yuan frowned, why was he such a beast that he couldn't remember?
Wang Yuan couldn't remember it, but someone helped him recall it. Wen Cheng asked one of the girls named Xiaolan: "Tell me first, what did he do in the brothel? What did he say?"
Xiaolan immediately said timidly: "That's him. After asking us to drink with him, he also asked a few of us to serve him. Not to mention, he actually stabbed...and hurt us with the hilt of his sword."
"Sir, you have to make the decision for us. Although we are girls from a brothel, we are also children of our parents. We are flesh and blood people. Yet he, a beast, tortures us like this."
Xiaolan's words immediately resonated with several other women, and they burst into tears for a while.
Likewise, everyone was very angry.
Although some men who visit brothels do have some special hobbies, as long as the money is in place and they are not so perverted, the girls are still happy to do so.
But this guy actually used the hilt of the sword, which would not have tortured people to death.
Wang Yuan was a little confused. Has he ever done this?
"No way, I didn't!"
But this time, before Prime Minister Wen could speak, Li Qi suddenly interrupted Wang Yuan's words, "That's enough. The men of Tianli Kingdom stand upright and dare to take responsibility. If you have done it, you must admit it."
"Ah? Did I really do it?" Wang Yuan looked at Li Qi in disbelief.
Li Qi nodded angrily. If he just said this, he couldn't help deny it. People from the brothel came over yesterday and indeed said this. He even saw a few girls with bloody legs.
Furthermore, these girls walked in tremblingly just now. On the one hand, they were nervous and timid. The most important thing was that they were still injured.
Wang Yuan knew that Li Qi could not lie to him. It seemed that he did it after drinking too much. When did he become so perverted?
"I...I didn't mean it." Wang Yuan was frightened. Even if this kind of thing was reported back to Tianli Kingdom, he would not be able to raise his head to see anyone.
Fortunately, Li Qi also said at this time: "This matter is indeed Wang Yuan's problem, but yesterday, we have made compensation to the girls. I think the matter has been revealed, and these are in line with what Prime Minister Wen just said.
It's something, but it has nothing to do with it."
Compared to Mr. Zhuri's matter, this is actually a trivial matter. It's nothing but a little embarrassing. As a man, it's normal to make some mistakes in this regard.
Emperor Wu was also a little impatient. What he wanted to hear was not these rubbish stories. Could it be that he, the emperor, was allowed to fight against a few brothel girls?
"Prime Minister Wen, let's get to the point quickly." Emperor Wu said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Hearing this, Prime Minister Wen also hurriedly agreed, and then said to Xiaolan: "Tell me what happened next."
