Chapter 250 Release

Li Xuanjing calmly said the word "release him", which sounded more like an order than a negotiation.

Shaoqing Zongzheng clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly with anger. He took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Master Siqing, my son is dead, my only son is dead, and I can no longer have children. From my generation on, the Li family will be extinct!"

The other people in the Zongzheng Temple also looked at Zongzheng Shaoqing with pity.

Li Shou was Shaoqing's only son, and he was extremely kind to his son.

It would have been fine if he just indulged him on a daily basis, but he even passed the title to him in advance, which showed how much he valued his son.

It's a pity that Li Shou has been weak and sickly since childhood. Every month, the Shaoqing would spend a lot of money to ask the imperial physician to use the medical qi to regulate his body.

It's a bit weak, but at least I'm still alive and there's hope of continuing the family line.

But now, Li Shou's body was lying here, and the last glimmer of hope of Lord Shaoqing was extinguished.

To lose one's family line and grandchildren is an unbearable blow to anyone.

Facing the suppressed anger of Zongzheng Shaoqing, Li Xuanjing just said: "Please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. The living should live well. You still have other family members, don't you?"

Zongzheng Shaoqing's body trembled and his face turned even paler.

If this sentence came from someone else, he might feel it was comforting.

But coming from Li Xuanjing's mouth, it was a naked threat.

What he meant was that if he didn't release the man, it wouldn't be his son who would die, but his entire family!

Zongzheng Shaoqing looked back at the family members guarding Li Shou's body, closed his eyes, and after a long time, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Release him."

After saying this, he seemed to have all his strength drained away and fell straight down.

Fortunately, another official from the Zongzheng Temple nearby supported him in time, preventing him from falling to the ground.

When he helped Shaoqing Zongzheng up, he found that Shaoqing had fainted, with blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

All the officials of the Zongzheng Temple looked at the figure with angry eyes.

This is too much!

This is simply too much!

The Shaoqing's only son had just died, but he forced him to let the murderer go, which made the Shaoqing faint from anger. How could he bully others like this? The law is still there, but where is justice?

Of course, they only dared to glare.

This living devil is extremely narrow-minded and ruthless. There is no one he dares not kill, no matter if they are powerful or high-ranking officials. Being the first to do so at this time is no different from seeking death.

The two officials from the Zongzheng Temple immediately ran into the prison.

Li Nuo thought about it and followed.

Zongzheng Temple, inside the prison.

Song Yiren curled up in the corner of the cell, her hair disheveled, her pretty face pale, and she looked extremely helpless.

She had never thought that such a thing would happen when she was most sad, most lost and wanted to leave Chang'an, this sad place the most.

She killed someone.

She could kill those assassins without any psychological burden.

But killing an innocent person with her own hands made her feel tormented.

The prison in the Zongzheng Temple had no windows and was filled with endless darkness, as if it was about to swallow her up.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a ray of light appeared in the darkness.

The door of the death row was opened, and when she saw the figure standing outside the cell, her heart suddenly calmed down.

Li Nuo also breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was close to Yiren within a certain distance, he looked at the code first.

The code is not lit.

There is indeed something fishy about this case.

His intuition was not wrong. How could so many coincidences happen to her?

Coincidental role-playing, coincidentally a child of Fengyang County, coincidentally frail and sickly, coincidentally bumped into by a beautiful woman...

Although he didn't know who was behind this, as long as the woman was innocent, he had nothing to worry about.

This was also the reason why he rushed into the cell in the first place.

He opened the cell door, walked into the cell, held out his hand to Yiren, and said, "Go home."

Song Yiren reached out and gently held Li Nuo's hand.

She had just said goodbye to them half an hour ago.

She thought it would be a farewell forever.

But I didn't expect that it would only be half an hour since we said goodbye and saw each other again.

Li Xuanjing and Su Qing walked in front, while Li Nuo held Yiren's hand. Under the gaze of everyone in the Zongzheng Temple, they slowly walked out of the Zongzheng Temple and their figures quickly disappeared.

It was not until they had left for a long time that the dog in the Zongzheng Temple barked and everyone woke up.

The next moment, these officials from the Zongzheng Temple spoke angrily.

“That’s too much!”

"This is too much!"

"That's a murderer. Don't they have any law in their eyes?"

"He is the Supreme Court Justice, yet he is so disregarding of human life. Report this to the emperor! This matter must be reported to the emperor!"

…

Li Nuo had already boarded the carriage. He and his father sat in one row, and Yiren and his mother-in-law sat in another row.

Song Yiren's expression was still a little dazed.

Su Qing secretly glanced at Li Xuanjing opposite her, and when he looked over, she immediately lowered her head.

Li Nuo looked at Yiren and moved his lips. There was something fishy about this case. He originally wanted to ask Yiren what happened at that time, but suddenly he noticed the unusual movement of the code.

Looking at the two unfamiliar portraits that appeared on the code, Li Nuo immediately said, "Stop the car!"

"Whoa!"

Butler Wu tightened the reins and asked in surprise, "Master, what's wrong?"

Li Nuo lifted the car curtain and glanced around the street, looking at the bustling crowd around him, and finally looked towards the second floor of a restaurant on the street, where his eyes met two pairs of gazes.

The Prince of Han and the young man, who were sitting at the window on the second floor of the restaurant, were also startled by this sudden change.

When Li Nuo looked over, the Prince of Han looked flustered and subconsciously stepped back.

After being startled for a moment, the young man's eyes briefly met Li Nuo's and then he looked away. The whole process was extremely natural, as if it was just a normal eye contact.

Li Nuo also retracted his gaze and said to Butler Wu: "It's okay, let's go."

After returning to the Song Mansion, as soon as she got off the carriage, Yiren was surrounded by a group of people from the family, asking them all kinds of questions.

Su Qing looked at Song Zhe with an angry face and said, "Look at you, what's the point of being an official? At the critical moment, you can't even save your own daughter!"

Song Zhe had just breathed a sigh of relief when he was scolded by his wife.

But he was powerless to refute this.

He really couldn't save his daughter.

In the entire court, Li Xuanjing is the only one who is qualified, capable, and courageous enough to do this.

He nodded slightly to Li Xuanjing, but he was still worried.

Although Yiren has already returned home.

But this matter has just begun.

Forcibly taking away the criminal who killed the powerful officials from the Zongzheng Temple, every word of this sentence is enough for ordinary officials to be beheaded. This kind of heinous behavior has never happened before...

Uh, it seems like his previous behavior was much worse than this.

But there is no doubt that the entire court and the entire powerful circle will not give up if the foundation of Daxia's laws is challenged. It can be predicted that at the latest tomorrow, there will be a storm in the court...

At this time, in a restaurant near Zongzheng Temple.

The Prince of Han and the young man had already learned what had just happened in the Zongzheng Temple.

Even they, after hearing this, were stunned for a long time.

According to their plan, if Li Nuo wanted to protect the woman, they would definitely let the Dali Temple intervene in the matter.

Under the threat of Li Xuanjing, the Zongzheng Temple is very likely to hand it over.

Once at the Dali Temple, everything was controlled by Li Xuanjing.

He would definitely not let that woman die.

However, their original intention was not to kill the woman.

It is the Legalist's intention to kill Li Nuo.

The two thought of countless possibilities, but they did not expect that he would adopt such a simple and direct method.

The young man named Lin Ting was stunned for a long time, then said with emotion: "He really deserves to be the number one traitor in Daxia. I'm afraid he is the only one in the entire court who dares to do such a thing."

The expression on the face of the Prince of Han, in addition to shock, also contained a hint of excitement.

This is what it's like to hold supreme power.

Although his father was the eldest prince, he was as cowardly as a mouse. As a prince, he would kill his own people to atone for a small conflict with his ministers.

As for Li Xuanjing, he ignored the law, relied on his power and did whatever he wanted.

Although Li Xuanjing stands on the side of Prince Chun, he is a serious threat to the Palace of Prince Han.

But the Prince of Han had to admit that this is what a hero should be like!

At this moment, the Prince of Han was actually a little envious of Li Nuo.

Having such a father is a very honorable thing.

If my father had such courage, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

He looked at Lin Ting and asked, "Now that the woman has been rescued, do we still need to carry out our other arrangements?"

Fengyang County is not their only arrangement.

The woman from the Song family is just one of their important targets.

Li Shou had flirted with the girl countless times in the street before he finally waited for her to make a move for the only time.

But this time it was enough.

These days, many important people around Li Nuo have been closely watched by them.

In order to drag Li Nuo into the water, they made many arrangements, but due to bad luck, they ended in failure every time.

After all, no matter what arrangements they make, it ultimately depends on the other party's choice.

However, in this kind of thing, you can fail countless times, as long as you succeed once, you can achieve your goal.

Lin Ting shook his head and said, "No need. This matter is not over yet. The Zongzheng Temple will not give up, and the dignitaries will not give up either. They originally just wanted to ruin his Legalist intentions, but they didn't expect to drag Li Xuanjing into it. The consequences of this matter are no longer something we can control..."

The Prince of Han asked, "Have you arranged this carefully? Will he find out about us?"

Even if it is a small county, there are powerful people. If he designs to kill the other party and is found out, even he will get into a lot of trouble.

Lin Ting smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I arranged it perfectly. He definitely won't know it was us who did it..."
