Chapter 289 Father and son are different and turn against each other

Yunde Tower is located in the west of Dongyang City. It has luxurious buildings and a large area.

In addition to the food and accommodation pavilions in the front, there are also exquisite small courtyards in the back.

In the courtyard, the courtyard corridors, wooden bridges, green trees and bamboo groves, rockery and boulders, and the Jiangnan water town are all displayed in a small space.

At this moment, on the steps of the main building and behind the pillars, there were more than a dozen Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor standing, extending all the way to the entrance of Yunde Building.

On a sunny day, there were only a few people on the long street, but there were all kinds of carriages parked outside Yunde Tower.

Those who are familiar with it will know at a glance that today, almost all the famous people in Dongyang are here.

In the distance, an elm carriage came from a distance. As the green curtains swayed, a pair of sharp eyes looked at everything outside Yunde Building through the gap.

More than a dozen soldiers from Dongyang County stood solemnly on both sides of the building, but the most eye-catching ones were the two Qianniu Guards at the door holding sword hilts with cold expressions.

The carriage stopped, the green curtain opened, and a smiling, fat, middle-aged man, a little bloated, got out of the carriage.

Wearing a lake blue silk robe and a black hat on his head, he looks like a smiling Buddha. He is none other than Liu Ji, the head of the Liu family, one of the most powerful families in Dongyang County.

Liu Ji straightened his collar, then turned his head to look at the guard on the side, and whispered: "Stay here honestly and don't go anywhere."

At this point, Liu Ji paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "If I can't get out, just let me go into the cell obediently. With your current appearance, no one can see you."

If I tell you that you are my son...in this way, you might still be able to escape."

"Aye, you don't have to be so careful." Liu Dao lowered his head and said in a low voice: "As long as you and I are of the same mind, the whole of Dongyang will be turned upside down in an instant."

"Shut up!" Liu Ji turned around, looked at Yun Delou in front of him, and said coldly: "I don't ask for much from you. Before you act, take one step, just one step, and think more.

You will know how dangerous you and I are now."

After saying that, not daring to know what his son Liu Dao's reaction would be, Liu Ji walked directly towards the gate of Yunde Building.

As soon as Liu Ji entered the door, he heard waves of familiar greetings.

With one glance, everyone in the building was already in sight.

Although there are only a dozen or so Qianniu Guards, they are here. Although these leading figures in Dongyang are whispering, their voices are very low.

"Brother Yanji, long time no see!" A middle-aged man with triangular eyes wearing a black rippled silk robe came over from the side and greeted Liu Ji in a low voice.

"Brother Jian An, it's been a long time!" Liu Ji quickly handed over his hand, then moved closer to Xu Zhuo, lowering his voice and asked: "What's going on today? Why is your brother who never goes out here today."

"Can you not come? If you don't come, someone will..." Xu Zhuo stopped talking mid-sentence, pointed in the direction of the door and said: "Brother Yanji, look, your prospective in-law is here!"

Liu Ji subconsciously turned around and saw a thin middle-aged man wearing a light blue unmarked official robe walking in, with a solemn expression and a steady gaze.

This person is none other than Cheng Zipu, a scholar from Dongyang County. Cheng Zipu's eldest daughter has been engaged to Liu Ji's son. The two families will get married in September this year.

Liu Ji subconsciously walked towards Cheng Zipu, but Cheng Zipu didn't even look at him. He walked directly past him and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Qian Niuwei, who was standing at the entrance of the building, acted as if he hadn't seen it. He didn't even look at Cheng Zipu and let him go directly.

"Brother Yanji, what's going on?" Xu Zhuo came over in surprise.

Liu Ji shook his head, looking like he didn't know anything, but there was a hint of haze in his eyes.

After recovering for a moment, Liu Ji looked at Xu Zhuo and whispered: "Brother Jian An, there are some things that these people in the officialdom know that are completely different from what you and I know, just like what happened last night..."

It's time for Liu to stop. What happened last night is a taboo for everyone. No one dares to mention it casually, for fear of causing trouble.

Xu Zhuo nodded silently, then cupped his hands, turned to look at the others, and went to find others to chat with.

Liu Ji stood there and looked at the entrance to the second floor.

Cheng Zipu, the county school's wine minister, didn't think highly of him originally. Even though he was now one of the most powerful men in Dongyang, he still rarely looked down upon him favorably.

This is not surprising. Although Cheng Zipu only served as a wine worshiper in Dongyang, he still had many old friends in Luoyang and Chang'an serving in the court.

If Liu Dao really wants to pursue an official career, he must ask for help from Cheng Zipu.

Even if Cheng Zipu is his son's future father-in-law, the Liu family's attitude must be lower. After all, Cheng Zipu was not very agreeable to this marriage from the very beginning.

It was the Liu family who found matchmakers from one house to another, and almost all the officials and wealthy businessmen in the city asked for them. It was the daughter of the Cheng family who gave the final nod, and Cheng Zipu reluctantly agreed.

Looking at the back of Cheng Zipu who disappeared from the second floor, Liu Ji couldn't help but guess that if something happened in Dongyang City, the old man would inevitably have some crooked ideas.

But now, Liu Ji can no longer control so much.

He still couldn't even figure out what happened in just one night, which caused the entire Dongyang to completely change color overnight.

According to the news from the county government office last night, Huang Ziming, a member of the Fa Cao army, was discovered. Under the order of Chief Secretary Li Dingyi, he directly used poisonous snakes to kill people, and then immediately sneaked out of the county government office.

After that, as soon as he escaped to the ruined tower, the Qianniu Guards men were already chasing him, as if they had been following him closely.

Such thoughts kept Liu Ji awake almost all night.

He was even worried that while he was sleeping at night, the officers and soldiers would directly rush into Zhuangzi and then burn, kill and loot...

But the situation was not bad, the officers and soldiers did not come, and the son also hid all the people in Zhuangzi who should not exist.

In this way, the next day, after receiving the invitation from the county government, Liu Ji had to go to the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he received more news.

Most of the elite troops deployed by the Tianyin Sect throughout Dongyang City were lost last night.

The person who spread the news only knew a rough idea and didn't know much about the details.

The curfew started very early last night in the city, and there was no news about some secret passages.

Sitting in a carriage slowly driving through the city, Liu Ji had an inexplicable feeling that he was being watched all the time.

Nervously, Liu Ji looked around and suddenly discovered that his son Liu Dao had also turned into a guard and sneaked into the city together.

After scolding his son without leaving any trace, Liu Ji firmly held him by his side, not daring to let him do anything rashly.

Perhaps in Liu Dao's view, his Aye was a little too timid and unfounded, but only Liu Dao himself knew how terrifying the people in the court would be once they became serious.

When they were in Muzhou, their army of tens of thousands was completely disintegrated in just one night.

The originally powerful general manager, Shangshu Pushe, was defeated and died in the end.

Even the Holy Master might not have been able to escape if it hadn't been for the death of the General Manager in the end.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ji is so afraid of the imperial court, especially after Li Xuan arrived last night, most of their layout in Dongyang was torn apart in just one night.

…

In the quiet and elegant room on the easternmost side of the second floor, the door opened a crack and a note was sent in silently.

Yu Ze took the note, glanced at it, and then handed the note to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan, who was standing at the window, took the note, glanced at it, and crumpled it into a ball.

His eyes fell on the tall, mighty, bearded middle-aged guard stationed at the far west of Yunde Tower.

[Liu Dao, a native of Dongyang, Wuzhou, is eighteen years old. He is the head of the Wuzhou Dongyang branch of the Tianyin Sect and is at the peak of his innate talent.]

Liu and his son actually came together!

Li Xuan had to admit that what the two father and son did was indeed a bit unexpected.

But that's all.

Originally, he thought that either the two father and son would come together today, which meant that Li Xuan's previous judgment was completely wrong; or that only one of the two father and son would come, after all, eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

However, he never imagined that the two father and son would make the worst choice.

Both father and son came to Dongyang City, but one appeared and the other was hiding secretly. Even if Li Xuan didn't prompt the entry, it was enough to prove the identity of the two father and son as Tianyin cultists.

In this way, as long as Li Xuan is willing, he can completely crush the two father and son to death with his backhand.

"Xiaguan Dongyang offers wine to Cheng Zipu, please see Nanchang County Prince Qianqiu." A calm voice sounded outside the door, making Li Xuan's expression solemn.

The person who had been waiting for a long time finally arrived. Li Xuan turned around, tidied up a little, and then said: "Please come in for the wine ceremony!"

The door opened, and a county school priest wearing a light cyan official robe from the ninth grade came in from the outside. He was slender and elegant. When he saw Li Xuan, he raised his hands forward and saluted seriously: "Xiaguan Dongyang County School Festival

When I was drinking, Cheng Zipu met the prince of Nanchang County and his prince Qianqiu."

"We met yesterday. Sir, you're welcome. Please get up." Li Xuan stretched out her hand to support him slightly, with a sincere expression on her face.

Dongyang County Jiaoyu was the equal of Liucao Junjun, and was in charge of all imperial examination and cultural matters in Dongyang.

Xianxue is the highest institution of learning in Dongyang. Xianxue Jijiu has a status second only to the teachings in the same field of Confucianism.

Even if Li Xuan is the king of the current dynasty, when he should be respected, he still needs to be respected a little bit.

"The official is guilty!" Cheng Zipu waved his hem, and then unexpectedly knelt down in front of Li Xuan.

"Sir, what are you doing?" Li Xuan was startled and quickly stepped aside. At the same time, she looked at Yu Ze in surprise, her eyes full of questions.

"No matter what happens, sir, get up first." Yu Ze hurried over to help Cheng Zipu up. Who would have thought that Cheng Zipu would directly shake his head and refuse.

Cheng Zipu looked at Li Xuan with a serious face, knelt straight, cupped his hands, and said: "Xiaguan is guilty. Xiaguan knew the Liu family's ambitions long ago, but he even married him as his son and daughter...Xiaguan is guilty. The crime lies in

If you don’t pardon me, please punish me!”

There was a hint of doubt in Li Xuan's face and eyes, but as soon as an idea flashed in their minds, they understood.

This is the direct impact after a bloody killing last night.

People's hearts have been turned around.
