After Li Yuan saw the rolling puppet, he lowered his head to look and was immediately stunned. As the emperor of a country, especially having lived for more than half his life, Li Yuan's knowledge and experience were vast. He was naturally clear about the art of witchcraft.
It was just that Li Yuan was puzzled in his heart. Yin Changqing was so young, why would he bring a puppet with him at all times?
Too preposterous.
Li Yuan bent down, acting like he was going to pick up this puppet. It was just that Yin Changqing was a step faster. Yin Changqing propped his hand on the ground, erupted with all the strength in his body, and suddenly dashed forward. He grabbed the puppet and stuffed it back into his sleeve. After that, Yin Changqing took another step back and knelt on the ground, looking like he was asking for punishment.
Yin Changqing did not say anything, just lowering his head. Because at this moment, Yin Changqing was even more alarmed in his heart. Under the situation where he was punished by Li Yuan, making Li Yuan unhappy in his heart, and then Li Yuan discovered the puppet that cursed Du Qi, Li Yuan would definitely fly into a rage. Hence, Yin Changqing lowered his head, praying in his heart, hoping that Li Yuan would drop it after taking a look and not pursue the matter.
"Yin Changqing, take it out!"
Li Yuan's voice suddenly transmitted clearly into Yin Changqing's ears. Yin Changqing's body immediately froze. The expression on his face was incomparably perturbed. Raising his head, he had an embarrassed look, and asked, "Your Majesty, take what?"
Li Yuan said, "The puppet just now!"
Yin Changqing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's just a toy puppet. It's not some rare object."
"Take it out!"
Li Yuan berated again.
Li Yuan's eyes already revealed a cold look. Although it was a puppet, when he lowered his head to look just now, he clearly saw that there were actually needles on the puppet.
This was what Li Yuan did not like in his heart.
Hence, he wanted to take a look at just what kind of situation this was.
Yin Changqing wanted to cry but had no tears, his face full of helplessness. Facing Li Yuan's request, he did not dare to refuse. He could only take it out obediently and hold it in his hands, saying, "Your Majesty!"
Li Yuan received it and flipped it over to take a look. The pupils in his eyes constricted. Because he shockingly saw the two words Du Qi on the back. For a moment, Li Yuan's anger rose steadily, berating, "Bastard, bastard. I originally thought that you were just inexperienced and disrespectful. I didn't expect you to be so vicious as to use witchcraft. You're really hopeless. "
The concept of ghosts and gods had always existed.
In this era, no matter who it was, as long as they were tainted by ghosts and gods, they would not dare to be careless.
Most people believed in ghosts and gods.
This was also the reason why Li Yuan was angry.
It's fine if you, Yin Changqing, don't get along with Du Qi. However, he secretly cursed Du Qi with the Witchcraft Gu, intending to kill Du Qi. This was no small matter. It showed how narrow-minded he was.
Li Yuan stared coldly at Yin Changqing who was kneeling on the ground. Under his gaze, bean-sized beads of sweat continuously seeped out from Yin Changqing's forehead and slid down from his cheeks to the ground.
Yin Changqing's heart was already trembling, and he was extremely nervous.
Yin Rat's heart was filled with hatred. He hated Yin Changqing for being so rash. Even if Yin Changqing hated Du Qi, there was no need for him to bring the puppet with him at all times.
If it were normal times, even if the puppet was discovered, it would not be a big deal. But now, under the situation where Yin Changqing made a series of mistakes, cursing Du Qi with the puppet was adding crimes on top of crimes. It was the easiest for Li Yuan to punish him.
Yin Rat sighed in his heart. He could only step forward and say, "Your Majesty, my son …"
"Shut up!"
Li Yuan shouted loudly.
His eyes were cold and fierce. He said in a deep voice, "Don't say what son. This son of yours is simply an evil creature. You gave birth to an evil creature like him. As a father, you did not teach your son well. It's the father's fault. You are Yin Changqing's father. You should blame yourself and reflect. To have raised such a son, it's really the misfortune of the family. You've lost the Yin family's reputation. "
Yin Rat did not dare to speak again.
He just kowtowed and kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, hoping to alleviate Yin Changqing's crimes.
Even so, Li Yuan was unmoved.
To Li Yuan, he was already full of anger now. He was ready to punish the Yin family's father and son. Not long after, footsteps were heard again. The people stepped aside. It was the Chang 'an county magistrate.
The Chang 'an county magistrate's name was Wang Minzhi.
Wang Minzhi was extremely panicked now because he was handling government affairs in the county office. Suddenly, someone came to summon him. The emperor personally summoned him to the restaurant in Yongxing City.
That made him very nervous.
Wang Minzhi knew about Du Qi's restaurant in Yongxing City. Moreover, Wang Minzhi also specifically told the yamen runners to pay more attention to the situation in the restaurant and not let ruffians cause trouble there.
After all, there was once someone who went to Du Qi's tea shop to cause trouble. He was thrown to the county office by Li Shimin for Wang Minzhi to deal with. Although that matter had nothing to do with Wang Minzhi, it was still something that happened in Chang 'an county. He was also responsible.
Wang Minzhi was more cautious about Du Qi's matter. However, Wang Minzhi did not expect that he would still get into trouble. Wang Minzhi hurried in. He glanced around and saw Li Yuan.
He clasped his hands and bowed respectfully. "Chang 'an county magistrate, Wang Minzhi, greets Your Majesty."
Li Yuan said, "No need to be so polite!"
Wang Minzhi said, "Your Majesty summoned me urgently. I wonder what happened in this restaurant?"
Li Yuan stared at Yin Changqing and his son kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Yin Changqing is unscrupulous. He framed the restaurant and used witchcraft to frame others. Bring him back to the Chang 'an county office. Flog him fifty times and lock him up for a month. Yin Ratty did not teach his son well and allowed his son Yin Changqing to harm the people. Bring him back to the Chang 'an county office. Flog him twenty times and lock him up for three days to reflect on his mistakes. "
The punishment for Yin Changqing and his son was quite severe.
After all, Yin Changqing came to the restaurant to cause trouble. In fact, he only threw a cockroach and used witchcraft. It was impossible to sentence him to any crime.
However, Li Yuan was the emperor. No one dared to stop him from punishing Yin Changqing and his son as he wished. His punishment, just the rod punishment alone, was not simple. It could be considered to be quite severe.
Wang Minzhi heard and glanced at Du Qi.
He knew about Du Qi.
Now, Du Qi was also a celebrity in Chang 'an. Not only because Du Qi made a lot of money every day and made a lot of money, but also because Du Qi defeated Yin Changqing. He did not expect that Du Qi would make Yin Changqing and his son suffer so much this time.
Amazing!
Really amazing!
In particular, although Wang Minzhi was only a county magistrate, he knew that Yin Changqing and his son had Concubine Yin De behind them. Concubine Yin De was the emperor's favorite concubine. Under such a premise, Yin Changqing and his son were defeated.
With this premise, Wang Minzhi paid more attention to Du Qi and made up his mind to deal with him carefully.
Wang Minzhi said respectfully, "His Majesty ordered me to deal with it immediately. He waved his hand and the yamen runners who followed him came forward and detained Yin Changqing and his son. "
Li Yuan said, "You may leave!"
"I will leave!"
Wang Minzhi came quickly and left quickly. In the blink of an eye, he escorted Yin Changqing and his son and left in a hurry.
Li Yuan looked at the people around him and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, disperse. Do what you need to do. "
The people all left one by one.
They returned to their seats to eat. However, many people who came together in twos and threes were already talking about it. Because for these people, Yin Changqing and his son's matter was the topic of conversation.
Moreover, they met the emperor and received his kind inquiry. They were even happier. This was a great honor that they could brag about for a lifetime.
