On the morning of the 12th day of the first lunar month.
Butcher Zheng opened the door with dark circles under his eyes and saw the waiter of the restaurant across the street sitting listlessly on the threshold.
Butcher Zheng glanced at him and said, "Hey, Goudan, what did you do last night? Why are you so sleepy?"
The waiter glanced at him and said weakly, "How dare you say that? If your wife hadn't screamed last night, the whole street would have heard her. How could I be so sleepy? If you two do that again next time … "
"It's none of your business whether my wife screamed or not. Why can't you sleep?" Butcher Zheng looked at him with a dark face and asked, "Next time? What do you want to do next time?"
The waiter named Goudan was stunned. He looked at him and asked in surprise, "Can I?"
Butcher Zheng picked up a boning knife and tilted his ear, asking, "Come, come over here and tell me what you want to do."
"I just want to tell you that you must have public morality. Do you want me and my neighbors to go and play drums and cheer for you next time …?" The waiter shook his head. Butcher Zheng's wife was stronger than him. Even looking at Butcher Zheng was more interesting than looking at his wife.
He stood up and said angrily, "I don't know who it was last night who set off firecrackers in the middle of the night. It was so loud that I felt the bed move. I was woken up just as I fell asleep. Don't let me catch that bastard. If I do, I'll skin him alive!"
Butcher Zheng didn't care about the guy who set off firecrackers last night.
He was also angry with that bastard. Yesterday, he was preparing to have a baby with his wife. At the critical moment, he was scared out of his wits by the sound of firecrackers. Later, he found his wits, but he was lost. He was only allowed to go to bed after being kicked a few times by his wife who hadn't had enough fun …
Speaking of that person, Butcher Zheng was enraged. He waved the knife in his hand and said angrily, "If I catch him, I'll cut his bones!"
Last night, many people in Yong County didn't sleep well, especially those near the west city gate.
A few days ago, when there was no curfew, everyone's nightlife would last until very late. These days, after the curfew, as soon as the sky turned dark, it was time to sleep.
But regardless of whether they were sleeping or sleeping, they were all startled by the loud noise that occurred around midnight last night.
The sound was so loud that even the ground beneath their feet shook. The first impression it gave people was that the sky had collapsed.
Some people even mistakenly thought that it was an earth dragon turning over and hurriedly ran out of their houses. They stayed outside for most of the night and only dared to walk back into their rooms after seeing that nothing was out of place.
During the day, everything returned to normal. The shops opened for business, and the commoners continued with their daily activities.
Observant people would notice that a part of the city wall in the shopping mall was slightly charred, as if it had been burned. Most people only cursed the fellow who had fired the cannon in their hearts.
Wang Wei didn't realize that he was responsible for firing the cannon last night. He stood in front of Li Yi, shook his head, and said with some regret, "Prince, the rest of the people from the Holy Religion have been captured. Two of the Purple Clothed Emissaries escaped, and that Emissary Fang of the Right has also escaped. I've already sent my brothers to their lair. This time, their elites have all gone, so it'll be easy to wipe them out …"
Fang rubbed his shiny head and said regretfully, "Young Master, I was too rash. I shouldn't have captured those fellows who opened the city gate yesterday. Otherwise, that Fang guy …"
Halfway through his sentence, he realized that his surname was also Fang, so he added, "That Emissary of the Right won't be able to escape."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "It's alright. If he escaped, then so be it. We'll meet again in the future. Let's talk about it next time."
This time, he managed to capture the King of Shu and the elites of the Holy Religion in the Fringe without losing a single soldier. He also managed to capture more than two thousand people. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Not only did Emissary Fang of the Right escape, but he also left the King of Shu alive.
To him, the King of Shu was obviously more important than Fang Yu.
Ever since he entered the capital, he and the King of Shu had never stopped fighting openly and secretly. It was only yesterday that their feud finally came to an end.
However, even he didn't expect that it would end up like this.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he never got up again. He fell many times, and when he finally got the chance to get up again, he fell from heaven to hell in an instant. The King of Shu actually went crazy …
When he was taken away, he was still shouting things like "protect the Emperor", "rebel", and "there are always unruly people who want to harm the Emperor". After he went crazy, he imagined himself to be the Emperor.
He had wanted to be the Emperor all his life, and now his dream had finally come true.
Although he was only deceiving himself, at least he succeeded.
Fang touched his bald head again and asked, "Son-in-law, what should we do with the King of Shu?"
Li Yi stood up and said, "I'll go see him first."
After Li Yi left, Wang Wei looked at Fang and asked, "Brother Fang, is a bald head good to touch? How does it feel?"
Fang nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Even if it feels good …" Wang Wei removed the hand that was rubbing his head and asked, "Can't you touch your own head?"
"You're crazy …" Fang glanced at him and said, "If I had a bald head, would I need to touch yours?"
His words were eloquent and reasonable. Wang Wei opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.
…
The King of Shu was temporarily imprisoned in the manor prison.
When Li Yi walked in, Chen Chong followed behind him and said, "The King of Shu has been making a big fuss since last night, calling himself 'We'. Last night, while he was asleep, I had a doctor take a look at him. He said that his pulse is extremely chaotic. It should be because he suffered a huge psychological blow and his mind is injured. Perhaps he will wake up after a period of time, or perhaps … he will be like this forever."
How could he not be shocked?
If the King of Shu had not suffered a psychological blow, then the one being imprisoned would be Li Yi himself.
After saying a few words, Chen Chong looked at him and asked, "What do you plan to do with the King of Shu?"
Li Yi looked at the innermost cell and said, "Send him back to the capital."
In the innermost cell of the manor prison.
The King of Shu placed his hands on his hips and raised his head. He looked at the people in the cell next door and said loudly, "You unruly people, why don't you kneel when you see us?"
"Let us tell you, our reinforcements will be here soon. If you kneel before us now, we will get them to save you all in a while!"
"Hmph, you unruly people, how dare you not kneel when you see us. We will not get anyone to save you!"
The people in the cell next door leaned against the wall and sighed as they looked at the King of Shu, who was talking to himself.
How could a normal person go crazy just like that …
The King of Shu turned around angrily and suddenly saw a familiar figure. After a moment of shock, he immediately laughed wildly and said, "Lord Chen, Lord Chen, you're here. Are you here to save us?"
"Haha, you unruly people, do you see that? Our reinforcements are here. Lord Chen is here to save us. It's not too late for you to kneel before us now!"
Looking at the King of Shu laughing wildly in the cell, Chen Chong stopped in his tracks. The expression on his face was extremely complicated.
No matter what, the Chen family had been loyal to the King of Shu for a period of time. Seeing this scene, he felt a different feeling in his heart.
"Lord Chen, quickly come and save us. When we return, we will make you the prime minister. Tell us what you want to be, and when we return, we will make you …"
His gaze swept to the side, and when he saw the person standing beside Chen Chong, his expression changed drastically. He hid in a corner and shouted, "Li Yi, you, you traitor, you captured us, you want to rebel! Imperial Father will not let you off, Imperial Mother will not let you off, no one in the world will let you off!"
After shouting a few words, he quickly ran over and grabbed the bars. With a face full of anticipation, he said, "Li Yi, Li Yi, let me go. Let me go, please. Don't you remember? Have you forgotten that I treated you to a meal? I even treated you to a meal! "
Seeing the King of Shu like this, Li Yi's heart was also filled with mixed feelings.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place. He just wanted to live a good life Ruyi and the others. Whether the King of Shu became the emperor or not had nothing to do with him. If not for that meal, if not for Qin Yu, perhaps the two of them would not have such an ending today.
The King of Shu knelt on the ground and said loudly, "Li Yi, Li Yi, let me go. Whatever you want, I can give it to you …"
At some point, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he said loudly, "I know, I know what you want. This Emperor will give it to you, this Emperor will give it to you, this Emperor will give it to you. Release this Emperor, this Emperor will immediately add an edict, an edict for Mingzhu to marry you!"
"Let me go, let me go. Not only will I let MIngzhu marry you, I will also let Li Xuan marry you. I will also let Li Xuan marry you!"
