The monk looked up at Li Yi, sighed softly, and slowly lowered his head.
Some timid women had already turned pale with fright at the scene just now. The glass statue was more than a foot high, and it was hit so hard. If it had landed on the monk's head, there would probably be blood splattered today.
Chongyuan Hall!
Then they thought of something. The monk just said he didn't know martial arts, but he didn't know martial arts. How could he smash the glass statue with his sleeves?
The scene just now surprised them even more than the eldest princess's exposed hand.
But how did Mr. Li know that the monk knew martial arts?
If he really didn't know how to do it, wouldn't that blow just now mean he was going to kill someone?
Moreover - what he smashed just now was another glazed statue!
"Amitabha..." Several monks who had already spent money to buy the glass statue looked at the debris on the ground and sighed, with expressions of despair on their faces.
The corners of Emperor Jing's mouth twitched, and a look of pain appeared on his face. This was another glazed statue. With such a fall, at least 20,000 taels were wiped out...
Chen Chong was stunned for a moment, pointed at the monk on the ground, and said angrily: "Old monk, you still say that you don't know martial arts yet!"
"Take it!"
Emperor Jing waved his hand, and two guards immediately stepped forward to grab the monk.
Concubine Cui's face turned cold, she looked at Li Yi and asked, "Who asked you to smash that glass statue!"
Only then did everyone realize that the old monk's lie had been exposed, but - the price paid was too high, right?
A glazed statue. If they remembered correctly, this glazed statue was sold for nearly 30,000 taels of silver just now. In other words, after County Uncle Li smashed it, 30,000 taels were gone...
Even if the Liuli statue has nothing to do with them, they still feel a little distressed at this moment...
Before Li Yi could speak, Jingzhao Yin Dong Wenyun came out and said: "Your Majesty, in order to expose this monk's lies, County Uncle Li was so anxious that he smashed this glass statue. It is understandable..."
"Uncle Li County is so quick and smart, I admire Mr. Shen..." the man surnamed Shen just said.
"Mr. Dong's words are reasonable. Uncle Li is also in a hurry. In the final analysis, the responsibility still lies with this monk."
If Dong Wenyun and Shen Xiu stepped forward because Uncle Li had just helped Shen Su out of the siege, then Chen Qing's words surprised everyone.
Chen Qing, who represents the Chen family, actually openly contradicts the imperial concubine?
"Your Majesty, I think this monk is the culprit, and these two Buddha statues should be blamed on him." Another person walked out of the crowd and said with a smile.
Seeing that even the head of the Wang family stood up, the expressions on many people's faces were somewhat shocked.
The rough voice of General Xue came later: "Your Majesty, you should first ask this old monk what bad intentions he had, and then punish him and make them pay compensation."
As soon as General Xue finished speaking, Yan Bing, Minister of War, stood up.
Qin Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.
Minister of Dali Temple.
Another veteran...
…
…
Concubine Cui's face was so gloomy that the officials belonging to the King of Shu in the room opened their mouths in astonishment.
It's not surprising that the Shen family came forward, and it's not surprising that Yan Bing, the Minister of War, spoke for him. The general had a tendency to protect him for a long time, but...
The Wang family of Luochuan, the Minister of Household Affairs of the Ministry of Justice, and the officials and dignitaries related to them... When did they have such a close relationship with him?
Everyone knows that Chang'an County Bo Li Yi is not on good terms with the King of Shu, and is even more on the same page with the officials of the King of Shu. Everyone only thinks that he relies on His Majesty's holy family to maintain his current situation. Will he lose his holy family one day?
Sooner or later it will be over...
But who would have thought that his influence in the court would be so great?
Doesn't it mean that if he supports a certain prince and has the support of these people behind him, all the advantages of the King of Shu will be gone, and the advantages will immediately turn into disadvantages...
For a moment, the old monk was ignored by everyone...
Li Yi was also a little stunned. Why are the Chen family joining in the fun? There is also Qin Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Last time, he specifically asked him to train a few more talents that the Ministry of Revenue can use. Is he returning the favor this time?
Minister of Dali Temple, Li Xuan said last time that those people were one of his own. What happened to the other people? They are not familiar with them at all...
Oh, by the way, some of the people who gave gifts to my family a few days ago seem familiar...
Everyone around was still whispering, Emperor Jing glanced aside, Chang De nodded, stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, why did you do this?"
The monk looked calm and silent.
"Why doesn't this monk speak?"
"It's tens of thousands of taels of silver. Can he afford it?"
"I'm also curious, does this monk have a grudge against the Chen family?"
…
…
While everyone was whispering, Li Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I just seemed to have seen that the master and... the princess said a few words..."
He said the first half of the sentence very lightly, but the word "princess" was very strong.
"What?" Emperor Jing didn't hear Li Yi's words clearly and asked in confusion: "What did you just say?"
"Amitabha..." The old monk finally spoke and said: "The poor monk and Princess Hui have never met each other. I am afraid that this gentleman has made a mistake."
Chang De glanced at Li Yi. With his master's ear, he couldn't hear clearly what Princess Li Yi just said. He looked at him and asked, "Did you just say that this monk was talking to Princess Hui?"
"No..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "I thought about it and it seems that I saw the wrong person just now. What did Mr. Chang say about Princess Hui?"
The old monk looked up at him, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes, and finally lowered his head.
"The Bo of Li County is so wise that the poor monk has nothing to say."
After saying this, the old monk was speechless.
After a brief silence, the crowd silently made way for Princess Hui, who stood at the end of the road with a pale face.
"Queen, I'll leave this matter to you." Emperor Jing said lightly, glanced at Li Yi, and said, "Come with me."
Watching Emperor Jing walking towards the back hall, Li Yi shook his head and followed.
"This time, I, the Chen family, do not owe you anything." When he passed by Chen Chong, he glanced at Li Yi and whispered.
Li Yi turned to look at Miss Chen Jiasan and said, "Remember to ask the imperial doctor to re-treat the wound. Don't touch the water these days."
Watching his back disappear, some officials gathered together in the crowd, their faces slightly gloomy.
"I didn't expect that he would have such an influence in the court..."
"If he is allowed to develop, there will be troubles in the future!"
"Huh, if it hadn't been like today, it would have been better to make friends and violate His Majesty's taboo. Do you think his holy family can continue?"
One person had a sneer on his face, and after the others were stunned for a moment, smiles appeared on their faces.
In the back hall, Emperor Jing was sitting on the main seat. He looked at Li Yi with a look of pain on his face and said, "If you fall, the 20,000 taels of silver from the treasury will be gone..."
"Your Majesty, it's ten thousand taels." Li Yi reminded him: "Have you forgotten that I still have half of my money..."
The expression on Emperor Jing's face twitched, and he changed the subject and said, "How do you know that old monk knows martial arts?"
"I don't know..."
"..." Emperor Jing was slightly startled and asked, "Then you dare to hit it like that?"
Li Yi looked at him and said, "Isn't my hand slipping? Besides, I am being too modest..."
"Last question." Emperor Jing took a deep breath and asked, "How did you know it was Princess Hui?"
Concubine Cui is too scheming to do such a thing. To be able to set up such an idiotic situation on such an occasion, her IQ must be low. Concubine Hui obviously agrees with this condition, and she is not the one to do such a thing.
First time doing it.
Chen Chong kicked Duanyang County Prince's ribs, and she had the motive of revenge. Of course, when he and the eldest princess came in just now, Princess Hui actually looked at her coldly, which made him very uncomfortable. This was also an important reason.
one……
All in all, in short, Li Yi thought for a while, looked at Emperor Jing and said: "Guess..."
