Returnee in Jianghu - C88
“Leave this matter to me!” Li Yuyan looked at the information in her hand, and her smile gradually froze.
Su He rubbed his hand enviously and replied with an “En” that was neither light nor heavy.
Tang Ming leaned against the door wall and looked at the two people who came out one after the other. “Have you finished talking?”
Li Yuyan’s face was dark as she bowed to Su He in admiration. “We send you off, your majesty.”
Su He looked at Tang Ming enviously. He didn’t say anything and directly left. Tang Ming looked at Li Yuyan and asked, “What happened?”
“Look at these classified messages.” Li Yuyan handed the letter over to Tang Ming. Tang Ming looked at Li Yuyan hesitantly before openly opening the letter.
“How preposterous!”
Tang Ming had only read two lines before he couldn’t hold back the anger burning in his heart.
“Just as you said, continue reading.” Li Yuyan didn’t try to pacify Tang Ming. There was a trace of coldness on her refined and refined face, causing people to tremble with fear. “Merely increasing taxes is already the lightest.”
Tang Ming suppressed the anger in his heart and continued reading as he listened to Li Yuyan.
In the spring of the second year, Rui Kang took the Imperial Examinations first. Seventy-nine examinees, because they refused to be roped in by the aristocratic families, experienced all sorts of accidents and were not allowed to participate in the Imperial Examinations.
In the autumn of the third year of Rui Kang, the aristocratic families had seized the strong for their disciples to play with and enlist their troops. In less than a month, more than three hundred people had died.
Recon Four Summer…
Recon Four Winter…
Recon 5 Years…
Each and every one of them shocked Tang Ming to the core.
“That’s only the most serious part, the rest …” Li Yuyan clenched her fists, “There are truly too many of them!”
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Tang Ming looked at Li Yuyan, who pursed her lips, “The account book. I need you to help me take it out.”
“Alright.” Tang Ming nodded without any hesitation. Li Yuyan let out a sigh of relief, while Tang Ming raised his eyebrows, “You want to stay in the capital?”
“I’m afraid that’s what His Majesty is planning by handing me this secret letter.” Li Yuyan retrieved the secret report from Tang Ming’s hands. She removed her soft camouflage and spoke in a cold tone, “Your Majesty really knows me. If you tell me about this, I’m afraid you’ll have to wade into this muddy water.”
But one thing that Su He was wrong about was that he, Li Yuyan, was most adept at hitting the target with one strike. There were still four months until the exam, and that was enough for Li Yuyan to make a move.
Aristocratic families were deeply rooted in the ground. Li Yuyan didn’t think that she could defeat all of them within four months. However, judging from the way the Emperor and the Emperor looked, it seemed that they had their own plans for them.
Therefore, Li Yuyan only needed to give the aristocratic families a gentle push as they walked towards the abyss, and hasten their demise.
“It’s easy to step into this muddy water, but difficult to step into.” Tang Ming frowned. He could tell that Li Yuyan had no intention of entering the Imperial Court.
“I have my own ways. You don’t have to worry about it at the beginning.” Li Yuyan shook her head lightly, and her face became gentle again, as if the person who was just angry was not him. “As long as you help me out with the account book, then that’s fine. If you are from the Jianghu, then it’s better that you don’t get involved too much.”
Tang Ming did not continue. Indeed, he could not participate too much.
Suddenly, Tang Ming shot out the stone in his hand.
Ah!
A person fell from the tree and rolled a few times on the ground before finally getting up.
Tang Ming had seen this person not long ago. It was the foppish young master, Li Lantian, who had hit him without giving him a second thought.
“Second brother.” Li Lantian flipped out of the grass with a few leaves on his head. He didn’t seem to care about the tree branches cutting his clothes, so he pounced forward and complained, “I’m telling you, your doorman has to be replaced. I asked them to inform you that they ignored me and I have to jump over the wall to get in.”
Tang Ming: “…”
Every reliable elder brother had a few unreliable younger brothers or juniors, such as Luo Ling, who was under Tang Ming’s protection, and Li Lantian, who was in front of him.
Li Yuyan put the envelope in her sleeve and looked at her younger brother with a helpless expression. “What a load of nonsense.”
“I’m not messing around.” Li Lantian answered stubbornly with a hint of nonsense, “Second brother, it’s fine if you don’t want to go home. I know you don’t want to see the bastard at home, but you actually didn’t want to see me and my parents. Do you know how worried my parents were for you all these years?”
“I made Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt worry.” After hearing what Li Lantian had to say, Li Yuyan’s gentle gaze finally became much more genuine, “I’ve been too busy lately, I forgot about it. Cough, cough …”
Li Yuyan coughed and scared Li Lantian. He carried Li Yuyan into the house and said, “Second Brother, you’re not in a good condition, so don’t run around. If you get sick, my parents will beat me until I’m crippled.”
Tang Ming couldn’t help but think of his junior brother who had always been by his side.
“Enough, cough cough …” “It’s fine, I’ve been used to it over the years.” As Li Yuyan spoke, a mute came in with a bowl of medicine. Li Yuyan picked it up and was about to drink it …
“Pah!”
The medicine was suddenly smashed into pieces by Li Yuyan. With a loud bang, Tang Ming couldn’t help but look at Li Yuyan.
“Good, this is really very good!” Li Yuyan gnashed her teeth and tightly clenched her jade fingers. She was probably really angry, so she kept coughing.
“Second Brother!” Li Lan Tian looked at the floor. The blood that Li Yu Yan coughed out made Li Lan Tian’s heart involuntarily tense up. Tang Ming also took a step forward and silently pressed a few acupoints on Li Yu Yan’s body. “Are you alright?”
Li Yuyan nodded with a pale face. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the mute slave who had kneeled on the ground, looking like a poisonous snake that had finally spouted its tongue.
“Second brother, what’s going on?” Li Lan Tian held onto Li Yu Yan as he looked nervously at Li Yu Yan, afraid that Li Yu Yan would fall down in the next second — this kind of thing had happened before.
“I added a pill into the medicine just now, and it clashed with the other medicinal ingredients. If I were to consume it all at once, my body would be able to …” “Heh!” Li Yuyan looked at Servant Mian, her voice remained calm, “Let someone take him down, regardless of whether it has anything to do with him or not, I don’t want him to walk out of this yard alive.”
Was it because he was too gentle in the past that the people in the dark thought he was easy to bully?
Li Lan Tian also understood Li Yu Yan’s words. He strode towards Servant Mian and fiercely kicked him a few times to vent his anger.
Servant Wu’s “Ah Ah Ah” sound made Li Yuyan very annoyed, but she indulged Li Lantian’s actions and allowed Li Lantian to vent his anger.
“Do you need me to investigate this matter?” Tang Ming looked at Li Yuyan, who shook her head.
“I think I know who it is.” Li Yuyan closed her eyes in exhaustion as her heart turned cold.
At this time, regardless of whether it was the aristocratic families or the royalists, they were all watching. They would not be stupid enough to make a move on him.
How laughable, the first to attack him was actually his own blood relatives.
