Chapter 72: Contest in the Air (1)
"Your Highness, the Luo family is not a normal powerful family. It is actually a nouveau riche. More than ten years ago, Luo Ying was still a little gangster in Luoyang. Later, he intervened in the Xue Palace to do things. Somehow he was attracted by Xue and became the minion of Xue.
In just ten years, he owned six large manors and more than fifty shops near Luoyang, occupied thousands of hectares of land, and had hundreds of servants who bullied men and women in Luoyang, and did all kinds of evil. He was called the King of Hell by Luoyang people."
"I understand, he is actually King Xue's white gloves."
"What is white gloves?" Zi Linfeng was puzzled.
"It is his name, but in fact he only holds it for King Xue. Many dirty and evil things are actually done by King Xue, but they all let Luo Ying take the blame and let him take the blame. This is called white gloves."
"It can be said that, so I said that Your Highness is dealing with Luo Ying, which is to deal with King Xue."
Li Xiu said coldly with eyes: "So, smashing my store and injuring my subordinates is the instructor of King Xue?"
"This is not. This is Luo Ying's usual style of doing things. It should have nothing to do with King Xue. Even General Chen has suffered losses in his hands."
"What's going on?"
"Probably last year! The eldest son of the general Chen Zhi fell in love with a brothel woman, but Luo Ying's son Luo Xiaochun also fell in love with this woman, but Luo Xiaochun couldn't fight against Chen Zhi, so he sent someone to scratch the woman's face. The woman jumped into Luoshui and committed suicide in shame and anger."
"Then what?"
"Then the general beat his son twenty sticks and did not allow him to go to the brothel again, and the matter would be left alone."
"Is Chen Xuanli because of King Xue?"
"It should be that the general did not want to have conflicts with King Xue, and his son was jealous of the brothel woman. He felt that it was a humiliation. This was what his adopted mother told me."
Zi Linfeng's adopted mother is Chen Xuanli's wife. This matter should be credible. Chen Xuanli suffered a loss and endured it.
Li Xiu said lightly: "Maybe this incident has encouraged the arrogance of the Luo family. Even the general Chen Xuanli bowed to him. What is a small baron like me?"
"Your Highness is right. I originally wanted to advise you not to buy this restaurant."
"Why?"
"Your Highness, this restaurant, the father and son of the Luo family have been planning for a long time. Before, Wang Jingbai's backstage was Cui Han, the former Luo Yang Order, and the father and son of the Luo family were still a little afraid.
But after Cui Han was transferred last month, the Luo family father and son attacked Wang Jingbai. Wang Jingbai's son Wang Liang died inexplicably, and most of them were killed by the Luo family father and son.
That's why Wang Jingbai was so scared that he sold the restaurant at a low price. The normal market price of these two restaurants was about 100,000 guan. His Highness took 34,000 guan and picked up a big advantage. How could the Luo family let it go?"
Li Xiu walked a few steps behind his hands and asked, "How many sons do Luo Ying have?"
Zi Linfeng's eyes lit up, "Your Highness is going to attack Luo Ying?"
Li Xiu said coldly: "Look at when can I rub the sand in my eyes?"
As the headmaster of the Jinyi of Luoyang, Zi Linfeng witnessed a large number of people being destroyed by the Luo family and the family was destroyed by the Luo family and the women were bullied and murdered. She had long hated the Luo family, but no one could afford to offend King Xue behind the Luo family. Even his adopted father Chen Xuanli had to endure it, so she could only hate him.
Now that Li Xiu is going to attack the Luo family father and son, Zi Linfeng sincerely supports him. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
"Your Highness, Luo Ying has two sons, but the eldest son died of illness ten years ago. Now he has only his only son Luo Xiaochun. This little devil has harmed many women. He has to go to the Jiafangsi every night, and it is estimated that tonight is no exception."
Li Xiu's eyes narrowed into a slit and said coldly: "Since he wants to be the first day of the junior high school, I will be the fifteenth day of the year to see who is more cruel."
…………
At the time of Hai, something happened to the Luo Mansion, and Luo Ying's only son Luo Xiaochun disappeared in the Jiaofang.
When the news came, Luo Ying was furious, "Everyone went out to find me, let the county and prefectures all go out to move Luoyang City, and you will find someone even if you turn over Luoyang City!"
At this time, the butler came with a cloth bag and looked fearful.
"Head of the family, you... look... look at this!" He was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.
"What's this?"
The housekeeper opened the cloth bag, and Luo Ying suddenly widened his eyes, and it turned out to be an ear.
"This is... this is my son!"
Luo Ying burst out with a shrill shout, and there was a triangular red mole on his ear, which was the unique feature of his son Luo Xiaochun.
Luo Ying collapsed to the ground, and the butler and the head of the servant quickly helped him up.
"Master, the young master should still be alive!"
"How do you know?"
The housekeeper pointed at the sermon: "There are words on it!"
Luo Ying lay on the cloth and looked carefully, and wrote a line with blood on it, "Cut down tomorrow!"
"oops!"
Luo Ying screamed, his son's life was cut off, so why would he have lost his son and grandson?
"Master, there are still words behind it!"
Luo Ying was in a state of dismay and continued to look down. It was a signature, "Li Xiu Jing Shang".
Luo Ying was stunned. He smashed the restaurant in the evening and injured his people. Revenge came so soon.
The head of the servant Xing Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I will take someone to burn his restaurant now!"
The butler shook his head, "The young master is in his hands, and you can't provoke him anymore."
"What should I do? They will still attack the young master tomorrow."
The housekeeper said to Luo Ying: "Master, the only way to ask King Xue to come forward and rescue the young master first!"
A word reminded Luo Ying, and he quickly shouted: "Prepare a carriage for me, hurry up!"
It was Li Chengye who asked him to test Li Xiu. Of course, he would have to be responsible for something.
………………
At the same time, something big happened in King Xue’s mansion.
Gao Xuan knelt in the lobby, and the emperor and the regent used thunder to clear Goguryeo to restore the parliament. Goguryeo had reached a time of life and death, and she had to come and beg for help from King Xue Li Chengye.
"What are you begging me for? You can beg for that Li Xiu! Didn't you invite him to get into your car? If he gets into your car, isn't he going to get into your bed tonight?"
Li Chengye sat in the lobby, jealous. He spent thousands of silks on Gao Xuan, but she never invited herself to get on her float. Today, she actually invited Li Xiu publicly.
Fortunately, Li Xiu didn't come on, otherwise he would have to become the laughing stock of the entire Luoyang people.
"I have never liked him, and the prince knows this very well."
"Yes! You have never liked him. You just wanted to use his status as a prince. You have never liked anyone, including me."
"In my heart, there is only national hatred and family hatred, and there is no love for children."
"So, you've been using me for six years? Are all the sweet words you said fake?"
"I am the prince's woman, everyone in Luoyang knows it!"
"You are my woman?"
Li Chengye laughed to the sky, "You have the face to say this. I spoil you thousands of times and love you so much. What have you ever given me? I have never touched your body before. You use all kinds of reasons to shirk it. Do you think I am a fool, and you really treat you as my woman."
"I have said more than once that I can give you my body at any time. The prince himself doesn't want it. You have to take my soul and body away. I can't do it. No one can get my soul."
"Hmph! Your soul is nothing more than trying to restore the country and become the second Wu Zetian. You originally wanted to control Silla, but you married Prince Silla. When you find that your wish cannot be fulfilled, you poison Prince Silla without hesitation.
If I don’t take away your soul, I will become your puppet like your ex-husband. Your Ba Duan Xiang and Bai Meiju are extraordinary. As long as you go to your bed, you will become a captive under your skirt from now on. Do you think I don’t understand?
Do you think I don't know your intention to invite Li Xiu into the car? That kid is lucky and escaped again."
Gao Xuan took out a flat gold box from her arms and put it on the ground, "You are afraid of everything you worry about, here are all the things you are worried about. Prince, I beg you as the princess of the homeland of Goguryeo and help us. As long as you are willing to help us, I promise you that the restoration of Goguryeo has nothing to do with me from now on. I will give you my body and soul, and I will do it tonight!"
Li Chengye walked forward and looked at her coldly and said, "Don't you want to seduce Li Xiu anymore?"
Gao Xuan shook her head and tears poured out, "He ruined our decades of hard work, and I only have hatred for him in my heart!"
Li Chengye slapped her hard in the face, his eyes ejaculated and his whole body was trembling.
"You are my woman. You dare to seduce other men and dare to invite him into the car publicly. You make the world laugh at me. You know that at that moment I want to kill you two into meat paste!"
Gao Xuan felt relieved, and Li Chengye's loss of composure meant that he had made concessions.
"I know my mistake, and there will never be another next time!"
Li Chengye slowly straightened his waist and said to Gao Xuan, "I know what you want. I want me to hide in Yanshi's arsenal. Yes, I can give it to you, but this is not something your body can exchange. I want you to have allegiance."
Gao Xuan lowered her head, "The Regent betrayed us, we have no choice but to submit to the prince with all our hearts."
"This is not bad, but you only wake up until you die."
Li Chengye raised Gao Xuan's chin, squinted his eyes and looked at her pretty face and said, "No man can refuse your beauty. I have changed my mind now. I can ignore your soul and let you continue to have your dream of rejuvenation!"
"I will serve the prince well tonight!"
The scene of Gao Xuan publicly invite Li Xiu to get into the car came into Li Chengye's mind. The huge sense of shame made him heartbroken. He grabbed Gao Xuan's hair and raised her head viciously.
"I have been waiting for you for six years, and I don't care about waiting for a few more days. I want you to kill Li Xiu with your own hands and come to see me with his head, otherwise I will never forgive you!"
After saying that, he picked up the gold box on the ground and rushed away angrily.
But he didn't notice a trace of undetectable pride flashed in Gao Xuan's eyes.
………………
Aide Wang Feng walked to the door of the study and bowed and said, "Prince, Luo Ying is here."
Li Chengye stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark night sky.
"Let him in!"
