Chapter 4786 Suspicion
"Could it be that Fang Er came to visit because of the Chai family's affairs?"
"Why can the Chai family ask Fang Jun to come forward for this matter?"
Li Shenfu and Li Daoli almost expressed their surprise and doubts in unison, looking at each other in silence at the same time.
After a while, Li Shenfu breathed out a breath and ordered: "Let Dalang go to the door to greet you."
"Here."
The old slave quit.
Li Shenfu rubbed his temples and said: "This matter is difficult to handle. Fang Er has always been a strong man. If he really comes to visit himself for Chai Mingzhang now, I'm afraid we have to give him a face."
Li Daoli was puzzled: "But why should he stand up for the Chai family?"
Chai Mingzhang was convicted by the Sanfa Division as the culprit who killed Li Jingshu. The Dongping County Prince and even most of the clan wanted to put him to death to maintain the dignity of the clan. Not only that, but the Chai family had to pay huge benefits. How could it be possible to stand up and intercede with the Chai family at this time? How much benefit will you receive from the Chai family?
Can the Chai family get these benefits?
Li Shenfu smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe it's because of the past friendship with Chai Lingwu, or maybe Princess Baling changed her mind... Who knows."
Both of them were in a bad mood. If Fang Jun really came here because of the Chai family, should we give him the face to let it go?
If you let this matter go, both the Dongping County Prince's Palace and the clan will be disgraced. But if you insist on refuting Fang Jun's face, who knows what kind of revenge this guy will do? Facing Fang Jun's violent temper gave people a headache.
After a while, Li Demao led Fang Jun to the side hall. Li Shenfu sat still, while Li Daoli stood up to greet him.
"Prince Dongping is here too, that would be great."
After greeting each other and taking their seats, Fang Jun said with a smile.
Li Daoli's heart tightened. This guy really came here for the Chai family...
Li Demao drove the servant out and poured tea for Fang Jun himself. Fang Jun thanked him, his eyes swept over the faces of Li Shenfu and Li Daoli, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said with a smile: "Listen to the rain and tea by the window. Xiang enlightens the Tao, the true interest of nature, returns to nature, and the two are truly You will enjoy it. It's just that after the funeral, the Prince of Dongping County did not stay in the palace to recuperate and deal with chores, but he went to the Prince of Xiangyi County to hide from others and whisper. Could it be that he was planning to do something shameful and treacherous? ?”
Li Daoli lowered his eyelids and ignored him, while Li Shenfu said angrily: "You are also an important minister of the imperial court, why are you still so unruly in your speech and not afraid of people's jokes?"
Fang Jun smiled and said: "Even if I am the leader of the prime ministers, I am still a junior in front of you. Isn't it natural that I can make you two happy by saying a few witty words?"
< br>
Li Shenfu almost vomited, but Caiyi wanted to kiss her? Thank God you didn't piss us off!
Li Daoli was really impatient and had an argument with Fang Jun. He said with a stern face: "Don't show off your words. It's okay to speak out if you have anything to say."
Fang Jun glanced at him, his smile did not diminish, and he nodded and said: "In that case, I will get straight to the point. The matter of your son's murder has been tried and concluded by the Sanfa Division and Zongzheng Temple. The murderer Chai Mingzhang was also sentenced to three thousand miles of exile and a prison sentence in accordance with the law. Border troops, then it should stop here, no one can abuse lynching and ignore the national law."
Although they guessed that Fang Jun was here for the Chai family's affairs, the two of them really didn't expect that this guy was not only so straightforward, but also had strong words.
Even if he stands up for the Chai family, shouldn't he humble himself and beg Li Daoli to let Chai Mingzhang and the Chai family go?
Li Daoli was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Can you, the Duke of Yue, control what I do? If you have any affair with Baling, you will come forward. It seems that a greedy and lustful person like you can steal the temple. It's simply The shame of the Tang Dynasty..."
"Hey, eh, eh, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Shenfu tried to stop him, but he still didn't stop him. Hearing Li Daoli's rude words, his head almost exploded. Although the second roommate is an important minister, he still doesn't change his nature. Are you trying to expose his dirty deeds like this? Force him to go crazy on the spot?
The main hall of my house has been burned down once. Could it be that this time even the side halls are also in bad luck?
Unexpectedly, Fang Jun didn't get angry on the spot. Instead, he looked at Li Daoli with a smile: "The county king is also a person of status. How can he imitate those shrews in the market and stir up troubles with their long tongue? Not to mention that your words are empty and empty. No evidence, even if this is the case, it doesn’t matter where you are. Why I came here, what matters is that since I am here, I cannot leave empty-handed.”
After saying this, he ignored Li Daoli's expression, looked at Li Shenfu and said, "I'm going to your door today, and I'm also looking for you. Please tell me if it works or not."
Li Daoli was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He had seen arrogant people, but never such an arrogant one!
Li Shenfu also felt that it was unreasonable for Fang Jun to be so arrogant. You came to beg for help, why do you still have such a confident face?
Is there a hidden secret in it?
Or maybe Fang Jun came here not because of Princess Baling's invitation, but for other reasons?
It can’t be His Majesty...
Feeling shocked and uncertain, Li Shenfu muttered: "Jing Shu died violently. It is logical to seek revenge on the culprit. I can't interfere."
It was Li Jingshu who died. Li Daoli wanted revenge. Why did you come to my door and talk to me?
"The cause of Li Jingshu's death was the attack on Jingzhao Mansion, and the attack on Jingzhao Mansion was caused by you, the county king, so you, the county king, are also responsible for Li Jingshu's death... Now you want to abuse lynching to retaliate against Chai because of Li Jingshu's death. If I’m not looking for home, who am I looking for?”
"Er Lang, please stop talking nonsense!" Li Shenfu glared and said, "What does those people's attack on Jingzhao Mansion have to do with me?"
Fang Jun sneered: "Or are you waiting to go to Sanfasi or Zongzheng Temple to talk about this? Those people mentioned the county king no less than dozens of times in their confessions that day. If His Majesty hadn't pressed it hard, do you think you could still be honest? Sitting in the prince's palace drinking tea and listening to the rain? It's better not to say such self-deceiving words, don't be shameless."
Li Shenfu's old face turned red instantly, but his heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Could it be that Fang Jun's visit this time was really authorized by His Majesty?
Otherwise, it would be shameful to follow the path of Princess Baling. How dare you be so tough...
Li Daoli was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Shenfu. The latter looked at Fang Jun and said slowly: "Let me think about this matter before making a decision."
Fang Jun nodded and said: "I have said everything that should be said. Of course, I can't say what I shouldn't say. That's it. The prince is thinking carefully. Don't make mistakes and say goodbye."
After saying this, he stood up, bowed and saluted, exited the door, and strode away.
"Mom! This bastard is so arrogant and lawless. Who does he think he is? He is so arrogant!"
Li Daoli cursed loudly.
Li Shenfu had a sullen face and his eyes flickered, and he said impatiently: "You can stop saying a few words and let's discuss this matter in the long run."
Li Daoli was dissatisfied: "If he doesn't allow us to retaliate, we won't retaliate? We will treat him like a man with red lips and white teeth. If word spreads, how can we save face? This bastard actually came here with a shy face, without even the slightest compensation. It's a bastard." Absolutely awesome!”
Li Shenfu: "..."
So you are still waiting for Fang Jun to compensate you?
He immediately said angrily: "Is this a question of compensation or not? Use your wooden head to think about whether Fang Jun's visit this time was his own intention or His Majesty's instruction!"
"Ah?" Li Daoli was suddenly surprised: "Can it be His Majesty's intention? I think His Majesty's original intention is for us to go to war with the Wei family. It not only delays our steps but also gives us a warning. The Chai family's interference has already Having destroyed His Majesty’s intention, we turned our attention to the Chai family. How could Your Majesty protect the Chai family?”
Although they did not say it explicitly, both he and Li Shenfu believed that Li Jingshu's death was planned by his majesty. In addition to the warning, there was also the intention to plunge the clan and the Wei family into chaos and eliminate the threat to the clan.
Therefore, he advocated revenge on Chai Mingzhang not only to avenge his dead son, but also to express his dissatisfaction forcefully to His Majesty - whether he warned us or plotted against us, my son's life should not be taken.
Since His Majesty's intention has been destroyed, it is only natural that the clan should vent its anger on the Chai family...
But why force the clan to stop so forcefully?
Li Shenfu knitted his eyebrows into a knot and said hesitantly: "Could it be that Fang Jun was pretending to be powerful under the guise of His Majesty, but in fact His Majesty did not give him any instructions at all?"
Li Daoli also felt that this was a possibility, but he didn't dare to bet: "If it is really His Majesty's order and we still refuse to comply, then it will make His Majesty angry, which will be detrimental to our plan."
Li Shenfu said angrily: "It's you who refuses to give up, not us! It's obvious that Jing Shu's death is quite fishy. Who knows if someone dug a hole for us and if we jump in, something bad will happen, but you have such a stupid head. No matter what, I will be dragged to death by you!”
"Why don't you, Uncle King, go test it out and see if His Majesty approves it?"
"Testing? In His Majesty's eyes, we are people who have no regard for the overall situation and have ulterior motives. Do you still want to test us?"
"Then it will be a loss if Fang Jun is a mute?"
"Even if you suffer a loss, you can't be blinded by his red mouth and white teeth. You don't need to interfere in this matter. I have my own opinion."
Li Daoli remained silent, cursing in his heart: You have a fart idea! You are a majestic clan king and a distinguished figure in the empire, but your claws are paralyzed when you see Fang Er. You will definitely put off this matter again and again, and eventually it will be left unsolved. Anyway, it is not your son who died...

There was no lamp in the flower hall. As the sun set little by little, the hall was gradually swallowed up by darkness. Chai Lingwu was sitting on a chair alone, drinking sips of wine. Being in the dark night made him feel a little angry. ease.
Could it be that he is actually a shady person?
This discovery made him a little puzzled. He originally thought he would be angry and crazy, but he was calm when he was in the darkness. The biggest shame of a man did not bring him much negative impact. The patter of rain outside the window was like a piano string. It is plucked, extremely pleasant, and the mood is very peaceful.
Footsteps came, and then Princess Baling's voice sounded at the door: "Why don't you hold the lamp?" Chai Lingwu wanted to say, "I don't have the face to see you, and I'm afraid you don't have the face to see me either," but the words turned into a cry when he reached his mouth sigh.
