Chapter 109 You Kick Me? (2/2)
Li Cui knew that Wang Duo and Li Ye didn't get along with him, but Li Cui still let them search his mansion, which was a complete abandonment of him and not giving him a living chance!
Heartless!
Li Cui intended to kill him!
When Wei Baoheng realized it desperately, he was scared out of his wits. He let out a whine and kept kowtowing, causing loud noise. ”Your Majesty! I'm being slandered! They do this to frame me! I'm faithful to you. Your Majesty, you need to uphold justice for me...”
”Come!” There were killing intents in Li Cui's eyes. ”If he dares to speak again, pull out his tongue for me!”
Wei Baoheng's body was stiff and his hands and feet were cold. Inside and outside the palace, a number of powerful breaths focused on him. If he dared to make any move, he would be struck immediately.
There were top masters inside the Imperial Palace.
Wei Baoheng could do nothing only with his cultivation!
Li Cui threw the account book to Wang Duo. ”Check one by one!”
”Yes, Your Majesty!” They all bowed down and looked at each other, feeling very happy.
...
Early in the morning, to avoid that Wei Baoheng would hear the news and transfer evidence, Li Ye and the officials in the Chang'an Office lurked on the streets near Wei Baoheng's Manor and spied on the manor from a distance, disguising themselves. They would rush in as soon as they received the emperor's edict.
To ensure the smooth action, the Chang'an Office turned out in full strength. Top masters of Wang Duo and Lu Yan were also standing by in the dark to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
The entire Wei Baoheng's Manor had been surrounded firmly. The busy streets seemed calm, but they were full of danger and turbulence.
Li Ye, who dressed up as a peddler, was free and at leisure. Sitting on the street, he was eating melon seeds and looking at all kinds of beauties on the street, enjoying himself.
”Get out of my way! Don't you know where it is? The street in front of the Prime Minister's Manor is where you can stay?”
Enjoying the scenery in high spirits, Li Ye was suddenly kicked on the shoulder. In fact, he had discovered the other side, but he didn't move because of taking into account the identity of a peddler.
Li Ye stood up and saw a large crowd of people dressed as servants and hatchet men rushing towards him aggressively. In the front, a childe in splendid clothes was holding a folding fan. He lifted his head, very arrogant.
Li Ye patted the dust on his shoulder and decided to go a little farther in order to emphasize the overall situation.
”Stop him!” His attendants rushed forward immediately and surrounded Li Ye completely as the childe waved his hand. ”You dare to stay in front of the Prime Minister's Manor, but you don't make amends to me. You want to leave so easily?”
There were more than a hundred steps away from the Prime Minister's Manor.
Li Ye glanced at the childe calmly. ”Are you from the Wei Baoheng's Manor?”
”My father is the Prime Minister on the court! So, are you afraid? If you're afraid, you kneel down and kowtow obediently. Then I'll spare you! Otherwise, I will break your hands and feet and throw you into the moat!” The childe raised his jaw in an extremely arrogant look.
Li Ye saw an acquaintance behind the childe, who was smiling at him sinisterly.
Li Yao!
So that explained it. Li Ye understood it was Li Yao that abetted Wei Baoheng's son to get him in trouble without any reason.
”What's the matter, Childe Yao? You now are a flunky of others?” Li Ye took a glance at Li Yao calmly, spitting out a piece of melon seed's shell.
Li Yao walked over to Li Ye and stared at him viciously. Li Yao said in a weird tone, ”What's the matter, Your Highness Prince An? You can't get along in the Chang'an Office, so you run an errand for others?”
He sneered. ”You're unlucky to meet me today! Aren't you arrogant? I want to know how arrogant you can be in front of the Prime Minister's Manor and the Prime Minister's son!”
”You don't need to tell him so much!” The childe waved his hand in a disdainful look. He said to Li Ye coldly, ”No matter what your status is, if you want to survive in the official circles in Tang Empire, you have to rely on my father! Now, kneel down, or I'll make you suffer!”
With the corner of his eyes, Li Ye saw a yamen runner of the Chang'an Office waving a small flag on the street corner—that was a signal of good news from the Imperial Palace.
”The son of the Prime Minister?” Li Ye glanced at the childe. ”Did you just kick me?”
”What will you do for my kicking you? If you make any nonsense again, I'll kill you...” the childe shouted.
However, before he could finish his words, Li Ye punched at his face. All his teeth flew out and then he rose in the air. He was screaming and turning countless times in the air. And then he crashed down on the street heavily.
Everyone was shocked and looked at Li Ye incredibly without any reaction.
”Li Ye! You dared to beat the son of Duke Wei. You...” Li Yao was stunned. But when he came to his sense, he was overjoyed. He pointed to Li Ye and began to yell at him.
His words weren't finished.
”Bang.” Li Ye punched straightly at his nose causing his nosebleed splash immediately. Li Yao jerked his head backward and his body flipped forward and backward in the air many times. Finally, he hit the wall with his eyes rolling.
”A fly.” Li Ye swung his hands disdainfully.
The attendants of the childe finally reacted, and they were in a mess. They looked ferocious and pounced on Li Ye. ”You dared to hurt the Prime Minister's son. How dare you! You court death!”
Li Ye snorted disdainfully and stamped his right foot.
”Bang.” A wave of Qi spread out quickly and the hatchet men around him flew away. They fell to the ground at all sides like dead leaves. They were unable to get up, howling on the ground.
”What will happen for my hitting the Prime Minister's son? I'm going to tear down the Prime Minister's Manor today!” Li Ye stepped over the hatchet men and pulled off the peddler's costume, showing the official uniform of the four-class vice magistrate in the Chang'an Office.
On both sides, there were many officials pulling off their disguise costumes to show their official uniforms of the Chang'an Office. They rushed into the Wei Baoheng's Manor outrageously with their knives in hand!
At this moment, the childe, Li Yao and the servants and hatchet men of the Wei Baoheng's Manor who fell on the ground were all dumbfounded. They were so shocked that they felt like their jaws were dropping to the ground, in a look like seeing a ghost in the daytime.
