A pot of soup was shamelessly taken by Li Shimin to woo women, completely ignoring his two sons who were starving beside him.
"Mountain Lord, this King wants a chicken drumstick~~"
Li Tai could only tug on Fang Er's sleeve and say softly.
This father is too much of a scoundrel!
At a critical moment, he had to seek help from his brother-in-law~
Fang Er casually took out two countryside chicken drumsticks from his pocket and gave one to him and one to Li Ke.
The dignified prefectural yamen instantly turned into a dining hall.
A group of people ate heartily without any reservation.
About an hour later, shouts were heard from outside the hall.
"Let me go! My father is the prefect of Fujian!"
"If you dare to treat me like this, be careful I'll have my father throw all of you into prison as refugees!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Er knew without thinking that the main culprit had been caught.
As expected, soon, Mao Moyu walked into the hall with people escorting a man in his early twenties.
Seeing Liu Rushi and the others by Li Shimin's side, each holding a bowl and drinking chicken soup, Mao Moyu almost dropped his jaw.
Is the Emperor this casual?
But this was not something he could question, so he walked up to Li Shimin, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the person has been brought back."
Li Shimin waved him away impatiently and said, "Bring him back and interrogate him. What are you telling me?"
"Scram, scram, scram, don't disturb my meal~"
After speaking, he looked at Song Xingxing and said, "Magistrate Song, you handle the interrogation!"
"Your subject obeys the decree!"
Song Yingxing cupped his hands in agreement, walked up to the man, and asked loudly.
"Li Zizhen, this official asks you, do you recognize the woman who died outside the city more than ten days ago?"
Mao Moyu and Li Shimin were not speaking loudly, so the man did not hear them. He arrogantly shouted at Song Yingxing.
"What nonsense! This young master killed the person. I raped and killed her, then raped and killed her again. What can you do to me!"
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Li Zizhen stumbled and fell to the ground. A bloody hole appeared on his right leg.
Fang Er scanned the surroundings and saw Li Shimin holding a bowl of chicken soup in his left hand and a pistol in his right, looking down at Li Zizhen on the ground with disdain.
"What a disgrace to the Li family!"
"Chonglou, take people to arrest this bastard's old bastard!"
"I'll wait here to see what kind of creature could raise such a son!"
"Yes!"
Chonglou cupped his hands, accepted the order, and cheerfully turned to leave.
With the Commander's waist token given by Luo Yangxing, all the锦衣卫 (Imperial Guards) in Fujian Prefecture could be mobilized freely, so there was no shortage of manpower.
"Your Majesty, what great marksmanship~"
"Hit with one shot, truly amazing~"
"People like this should be killed, they are too hateful, to do such inhumane things!"
"Exactly, exactly, people like this, killing them a hundred times is not enough~"
Liu Rushi and the others were startled by the gunshot at first, but after seeing Li Zizhen's fate, they all cheered.
"First, do that, then kill, and it's not over, they even want to defile the corpse~~"
"Just thinking about it is terrifying, this person is simply a pervert!"
A bloody hole in his leg, it took a while for Li Zizhen's pain nerves to transmit the sensation to his brain. Looking at his profusely bleeding thigh, he immediately began to scream.
"Ah~~ My leg!"
"You all deserve to die, how dare you injure my leg!"
"What Emperor or not, dare to injure him in Fujian, it's none of your business!"
"Isn't he just the Emperor? At most, we'll kill him, and let my father sit on the dragon throne, then I'll be the Crown Prince!"
"If you have the guts, kill this young master, otherwise, this young master will make you pay!"
"And you, a bunch of lowly maids, how dare you curse this young master? This young master will strip you all naked sooner or later and let you be ridden by thousands of people~"
Bang!
Li Shimin raised his hand and fired another shot. He would not tolerate such rubbish!
With this shot, two bloody holes were opened directly on Li Zizhen's face, the bullet entering from his left cheek and exiting from his right cheek.
Mmm~~~
Li Zizhen had always been a dissolute character, and with his father being the prefect, no one in Fujian Prefecture had ever dared to defy him.
It had always been like this since he was young, which made him feel that in Fujian Prefecture, his father was the boss, and he was the second!
But reality was so cruel. Meeting Li Shimin, who could beat Zhu Youjian into a pig's head, his father, the prefect, was no different from an ant.
"Hooray, hooray! The Emperor is amazing!" Dong Xiaowan clapped her hands in approval.
"Serves you right, for daring to curse these young ladies. If we waited for your father to come and send both father and son on their way, I would kill him now!"
*Snore~*
Li Shimin very proudly sought praise from the women, then picked up the chicken soup and drank heartily.
Fang Er was speechless. As expected, beauties were the best way to stimulate male hormones!
Old Li, to show off, used to delegate such dirty work to others, but now he's doing it himself.
Li Zizhen writhed on the ground in pain. This was the biggest fall he had ever taken in his life.
The two consecutive shots also made him recognize the fact that these people really dared to kill him.
"Ulalala mamapi~~"
He babbled incoherently, but the wounds on his face made his words unintelligible to anyone.
"Magistrate Song, it's better to find a doctor for him, lest this fellow dies before his father arrives~"
Li Tai threw away the chicken bone and walked up to Song Yingxing.
"What does 'dies' mean?"
Song Yingxing was a bit confused but quickly guessed most of it, nodded, and then instructed a clerk on the side.
Fujian Prefecture and Tingzhou were nearly five hundred li apart. After Chonglou left the yamen, he raised his hand and shot a flare into the sky. Soon, Tingzhou 锦衣卫 arrived.
The flare could provide the general location of the shooter. The Tingzhou 锦衣卫 captain, with more than ten subordinates, rushed towards the direction of the flare and immediately saw Chonglou, who was wearing a flying fish robe.
He quickly brought his men to Chonglou, dismounted, and knelt to cup his hands.
"A single whistling arrow, a thousand troops and horses come to meet!"
"Your subordinate, Wang Qianjun, the captain of Tingzhou 锦衣卫, greets Your Excellency!"
"Your subordinate, Liu Wanma, the probationary captain, greets Your Excellency!"
"Chonglou, Captain of the Northern Commandery, ordered to apprehend the Prefect of Fujian. You all will accompany me to Fuzhou!"
"Captain Chong, there's no need to go to Fuzhou. The Prefect of Fujian, Li Guodong, is in Liancheng County!"
Upon hearing Wang Qianjun's words, Chonglou instantly understood why Li Zizhen, that troublesome brat, would appear in Tingzhou Prefecture!
Liancheng was sixty li southeast of Tingzhou City. Such a close distance made it understandable that he would come here to cause trouble!
"Follow me to arrest him!"
"Yes!"
A 锦衣卫 scout gave up his warhorse. Chonglou mounted the horse, kicked its belly, and galloped towards the east gate of Tingzhou.
"Qianjun Wanma" followed closely behind, heading straight for Liancheng County!
