The news of Li Zexuan being imprisoned in the Supreme Court quickly reached the palace and Li Er's ears.
"Hmph! Who is he putting on an act for? Let's ignore him and see what tricks he has up his sleeves! "
Li Er's gaze was as cold as ice. After listening to Zhao Song's report, he paced back and forth in the main hall in frustration. His hands behind his back were clenched into fists and then completely unclenched in the next moment. He would never have thought that the high and mighty Cui family would collapse before the imperial power could even show its might! He did not feel the joy of getting rid of the aristocratic family. Instead, he felt some fear because the power Li Zexuan could mobilize was too terrifying. It was so terrifying that it could even threaten his imperial power!
Kill? Or not kill?
At this moment, Li Er's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. In the end, he waved his hand and said angrily.
"… Yes!"
Zhao Song sighed in his heart and cupped his hands in acknowledgment.
Li Zexuan disregarded his own glory and got rid of evil for the people. Zhao Song admired him from the bottom of his heart. However, in the end, he ended up in prison. Zhao Song was both regretful and vexed. Vexed that Li Zexuan was so foolish!
…
Yongle Lane, Li Mansion.
"Mother, why isn't brother back yet? Lan 'er is hungry … "
The whole family was waiting for Li Zexuan to return for lunch. However, after waiting for a long time, he was still nowhere to be seen. Lan 'er could not help but rub her stomach and said pitifully.
"Soon … He should be back soon!"
Mrs. Li had been feeling uneasy since the morning. When she saw that Li Zexuan hadn't returned yet, the ominous premonition in her heart grew even stronger. She patted Lan 'er's little head and called out,
"San Bao, didn't you say four hours ago that the Cui family's turmoil had ended? Why isn't Xuan back yet? "
San Bao said anxiously, "Madam, the Cui family's turmoil had ended four hours ago. However, the young master took a group of people to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is far away from Dunhua Square. The young master is probably still there!"
Madam Li nodded but the ominous feeling in her heart did not dissipate.
"Father! Mother! Not good! I found a letter left behind by my husband in the room! "
At this moment, Han Yuxi hurriedly ran in with a letter in her hand and said anxiously.
"Yuxi, what happened to Xuan 'er? What does he mean by leaving a letter? "
Mrs. Li immediately panicked. She subconsciously thought that something had happened to Li Zexuan.
Li Jingmo had always been calm. He patted his wife's hand and said, "Yuxi, what did the letter say?"
Han Yuxi looked around and said softly, "San Bao, Little He, you all go down first!"
It wasn't that she didn't trust the servants in the residence, but the fewer people who knew about this, the better!
"… Yes! Young Madam! "
Although San Bao and the rest wanted to know what had happened, they had to listen to their mistress.
After all the servants in the hall left, Han Yuxi said,
"Father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, my husband said in his letter that he will go to the Supreme Court to reflect on himself for a few days. As long as we don't think about it, don't think about it, and don't tell anyone about it, he will be back in less than ten days!"
"Reflect on himself for a few days? Why would Xuan 'er go to the Supreme Court to reflect on himself? Old Master, did something happen to Xuan 'er? "
To ordinary people, the Supreme Court wasn't a good place to go. After all, most people didn't want to be involved in a lawsuit. Therefore, Mrs. Li was at a loss after hearing this.
"Sigh! In the end, it's a loss of eight hundred to hurt the enemy! "
Ye Guozhong was old and experienced. How could he not understand the meaning behind this letter? He sighed heavily and said to Mrs. Li, "Yuzhu, you and Jingmo don't have to worry. Although Xuan destroyed the Cui family, the hidden danger is also quite big. Now that he has tied himself up in the Supreme Court, retreating in order to advance, he might be able to resolve the danger for himself! We can only do as he says. Don't think about it, don't think about it, and don't tell anyone about it. This is the only way to help him! "
Li Jingmo understood immediately. Although he was worried about his son, he couldn't say it out loud. He could only force himself to calm down and comfort her, "That's right! Don't worry, Madam! Xuan 'er has always been very confident. If he says nothing will happen, nothing will happen! We'll just do as he says in the letter! Let's eat! "
.....
Li Zexuan quietly "lived" in the Supreme Court. Of course, there were very few people who knew about it. His family didn't say anything. The officials who knew that he was in prison were basically the big shots in the court. Naturally, they wouldn't be so bored as to spread rumors.
The collapse of the Cui family made the common people unable to adapt for a while. Of course, this matter also became the most talked about matter in the first year of Zhenguan. It could also be said that it was the biggest news in the first year of Zhenguan.
Three days had passed, but the enthusiasm of the commoners in their discussions about the Cui Family had not diminished in the slightest. The commoners who had participated in the "Cui Family" operation had been bragging to the people around them for the past three days, but they still enjoyed it. After all, they were the awesome people who had defeated the Cui Family, a thousand-year-old family!
Of course, in these three days, the common people didn't know that Li Zexuan had been locked up in the Supreme Court's prison. The students of Yanhuang College also didn't know.
The upper echelons of the Tang Dynasty, without exception, chose to deal with this matter coldly. They chose the "three no's" policy: don't talk, don't ask, and don't say anything. The people of the Li family firmly followed Li Zexuan's "three no's" policy: don't think, don't think, and don't say anything.
As a result, it was naturally difficult for others to know that Li Zexuan was in prison.
However, it didn't mean that everyone didn't know.
"Father! Is our Yamachō locked up in the Supreme Court by you? "
That night, Sun Zifan returned home and found his father. He asked angrily, "What's wrong with you?
When the students of Yanhuang College participated in the "Warm Winter Operation", in principle, the students who lived close to the school could go home at night.
Sun Fujia raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Fan 'er, where did you hear this news from?"
Asking this meant that Sun Fujia tacitly agreed that Li Zexuan was in the Supreme Court. Sun Zifan couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said, "It can't be? Father? You guys really locked up Yamachō? No, Yamachō is such a good person, why do you guys want to lock him up? "
Sun Fujia knew that he had misspoken and scolded with a straight face, "You're just a child, so don't interfere in this matter! It's because the Marquis of Yong 'an is too good a person that he has to stay in the Supreme Court's prison for the next few days! This is to help him get rid of a disaster! If you really want what's good for your Yamachō, then keep this secret for this old man. If this is made public, only death awaits your Yamachō! Do you understand? "
