Looking at Li Yong in front of him, Ye Chang had a wry smile on his face. Looking at Ye Chang walking forward, Li Yong had a sneer on his face. Although they are both smiles, their meanings are completely different. "Ye Chang, you traitor, are you here today just to beg for mercy from me?" Seeing that Ye Chang neither greeted me with courtesy nor spoke, Li Yong thought of the soldiers ambushing him in the back hall, and his expression became even more stern: " I have sent people to Chang'an to verify your official title. Even if you want to beg me now, it is too late. "It seems that Li Beihai is fully confident. "Ye Chang didn't speak, and someone beside him said sharply. "Well, who are you? You are such a courageous dog. You dare to roar in front of me Come on, take him down." Li Yong threw the cup and pointed his finger at the Yamen. Dozens of officers and soldiers rushed out from behind. Although they did not have armor, they were also wearing leather armor. They rushed towards the man beside Ye Chang, but the man was not afraid and sneered and said to the other man: " Sure enough, Qi Xingbu, this guy is really domineering. According to what Luo has seen, corruption must be a fact, and it may not be known if he is afraid of rebellion." With these words, the ominous feeling that had been hovering in Li Yong's heart suddenly became solid, and his heart After thinking about it, he was waiting for the order to kill all these people in the future, but when he thought of the consequences, the courage he mustered up suddenly disappeared. This was not the time for him to scold the Zhang brothers. He was young and energetic at that time, but now he is. He was nearly seventy years old. And he was lucky that if he had any conflicts with Ye Chang, they would eventually be dealt with by the court. How could Li Shizhi sit back and watch him suffer? "Wait a minute." Just when he hesitated, Yuan Gongdao spoke. He was Bo Changling, and the government soldiers recognized him. When they heard him speak, they naturally stopped. Yuan Gongdao's expression was also very ugly. He stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Mr. Li, I must have misunderstood" Li Yong's face was grim, and he glanced at Yuan Gongdao: "What misunderstanding is there between you and Ye Chang, a treacherous villain? " Yuan Gongdao couldn't help but feel angry. Li Yong used him to lure Ye Chang forward. At this time, he said that he and Ye Chang were traitors. He straightened his back and looked solemn: "Li Gong, I respect you. It's because you are still wearing the clothes of Beihai County Sheriff of the Tang Dynasty, and you still have the seal and ribbon of Beihai County Sheriff on your waist. If Li Gong wants to humiliate the official, please wait for a moment while the official introduces these two to Li Gong, so as not to harm him. "You said" "This Qi Gong is a member of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and this Luo Gong is a supervisory censor." When the second prince came here, he passed by Bochang and ordered his subordinates to lead the way to see Mr. Li. "Yuan Highway Road. Although Li Yong has thought about the identity of these two people, Li Yong's face still showed a look of horror. An official from the Ministry of Justice and an official from Yushitai came together. They did not look like they were going to take him back to Chang'an City. As for Yuan Gongdao not passing on the news to him in advance, it is nothing. Under these two strict orders, how could Yuan Gongdao dare to leak the slightest information? "You twocome here" "I have given you an edict, the former Beihai County Guard Li Yong ignored his kindness, took bribes and violated the law, and arbitrarily used money and rice from the treasury and charity warehouse. I was specially ordered to come to investigate. "Qi Shunzhi said coldly: "Li Yong, why don't you kneel down?" "Originally, I just came to investigate the crime of corruption. I never thought that Li Yong, you are actually good at deploying soldiers, besieging angels, and plotting rebellion." Luo Xibing added next to him. One sentence said: "Everyone here, are you planning to rebel from now on, are you not afraid of harming your family and descendants? " With this shout, the yamen soldiers suddenly panicked. The crime of conspiracy was something that little people like them could get away with. With the sound of clanging, all the swords he raised fell to the ground. At this time, Li Yong also sighed: " Everyone, I am responsible for my own sins, so please step aside Qi Xingbu, Luo Yushi, they just obey my orders, the fault is not theirs, the fault is all mine" Speaking later, Li Yong couldn't help but choked up. He was nearly seventy years old and had always thought of himself as a prime minister. But even if he was able to get away with this incident, his career in this life was over. Some of the officers of "Gong Li" had tears in their eyes. Li Yong waved his hand to signal them to retreat. Everyone could only retreat, but one officer knelt down, kowtowed to Qi Shunzhi and Luo Xibing and said, "After Mr. Li came to Beihai, the people lived in peace and happiness." , thieves are discouraged, and the poor and the lowly will be rewarded" Ye Chang smiled bitterly. From this point of view, Li Yong is really a good official. But in this situation, it is impossible for him to intercede for Li Yong. And even if he wants to Asking for mercy would have no effect. When Li Linfu sent Luo Xibing, Li Yong's fate had already been decided. Sure enough, Luo Xibing sneered: "The thieves are not happy, that's because Li Yong is the biggest. A thief dares to put his hand into the treasury. This is stealing the money and food of the saint. Stealing the emperor's money and food will be given to the poor and lowly. What is more, he is stealing the public treasury to gain private reputation and good at gaining popularity. He is indeed treason. The officer did not expect that he would plead for Li Yong, but instead would be convicted of Li Yong's attempt to rebel. He couldn't help but be stunned. Ye ChangweiShaking his head slightly, he remembered that this Luo Xibing was as famous as Ji Wen, and left the name "Luo Xibing Jiwang" in the history of another life. Li Yong was completely finished. He was too lazy to look at Li Yong's misery. He was originally invited by Luo Xibing on Li Linfu's orders. Now that he is here, he can leave. Therefore, he turned around to leave, but at this moment, he heard a low voice behind him: "Ye Chang" Ye Chang turned around and saw Li Yong staring at him with hatred in his eyes. "If Li Beihai wants to scold someone, just go ahead and scold him." Ye Chang said calmly: "The person who reported you to the court is indeed Ye. You have only yourself to blame." "First accuse Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, and then Report me, indeed, you are worthy of being the ungrateful person who wrote "The Sunset Is Infinitely Good" and forced He Zhizhang to death. Well, Ye Chang, I am guilty if I am guilty, but your reputation will be spread throughout the scholarly community." " What a joke, what happened to Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming has nothing to do with you. You are just trying to catch someone's net worth. If Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming are really accused by someone, why wouldn't they dare to admit that they accused you? Those two people?" Ye Chang sneered: "Spread my reputation throughout ShilinOkay, just do it." Ye Chang was really angry. Li Yong did not reflect on himself in this situation, but instead All the responsibilities were put on his head, and he threatened, "Traitor, just wait" Li Yong cursed at Ye Chang's halberd finger, and Ye Chang sneered again: "You call me a traitor, what am I doing to be a traitor? What's the matter? It's you, Mr. Li, who stole the public treasury, corrupted the law, and was the real thief. Kong Zhang advised you to change your moral character and change your behavior. Why did you say this? It's because you are a person with no virtue and no conduct. It¡¯s a pity that Kong Zhang, a righteous man, went to Lingnan to die for people like you.¡± These words made Li Yong speechless. He originally wanted to scold him again, but the four words ¡°no virtue and no conduct¡± resonated with thunder. Normally, swirling in his ears. "Where is Mrs. Chen? Where is Mrs. Chen?" After being mute for a while, Li Yong said in a hoarse voice: "She was ordered by me, and the fault is mine. Don't do anything for her" "At this moment, you are still hypocritical. "Father is famous for his reputation." Ye Chang was completely angered by him, and he could not say anything: "I am here alive, so I don't know what will happen to Madam Chen. She is also a martyr, just like Kong Zhang, with eyes but no eyes, and for your unscrupulousness, The false reputation of the people in the line caused them to die unexpectedly. The person who killed Kong Zhang and Mrs. Chen was Li Yongru." After saying this, Ye Chang waved his sleeves, turned around, and strode away. Li Yong heard that Mrs. Chen was also dead, and his heart suddenly felt cramped. He covered his chest and staggered back two steps. Ye Chang left without paying attention. He stared blankly at Ye Chang's back and sighed. Then he saw Luo Xibing approaching with a ferocious smile. Ye Chang felt really depressed in his heart. He asked himself that he had done nothing wrong, but some people forced him to become an enemy just for a little greed. If it were a dead eunuch like Bian Lingcheng, it would be fine, but people with some talent like Huangfu Weiming and Li Yong would do the same. Although it was the prosperous Tang Dynasty, under the gorgeous appearance, I'm afraid it must be like this. He felt dejected and cold, so he did not stay in Beihai for long. He sent someone back to Bochang to report the news, but he went directly to Laizhou by land. Although Yuan Gongdao was awarded the Sima of Dengzhou, he still had to go to Chang'an for a trip, so the two separated in Beihai. He stayed in Bochang for more than ten days. Things in Laizhou had been settled long ago, and the watermen were allowed to familiarize themselves with the ship every day. After he came back, he learned that not only the plumbers from Laizhou were recruited, but also those from Dengzhou who heard the news. In total, sixty plumbers were recruited. ¡°These watermen are all experienced. Although his two boats are new boats, these watermen can get started after becoming familiar with them. Ye Chang further subdivided them into different tasks according to their strengths. At this time, sailors on the ship often did everything. It was rare for him to subdivide sailors, lookouts, warehouse managers, etc. like him. . This is also a measure taken to allow these sailors to become familiar with the new ship as soon as possible. It is already April, June and July are windy months, and Ye Chang is preparing to really set sail for Liaodong at the end of April. On the evening of April 7, the fourth year of Tianbao, the two ships returned from sea training and just docked at the shore of Laizhou. Ye Chang heard someone shouting: "Ye 11, Ye 11" Ye Chang followed the voice on the bow of the ship. When I went there, I saw Li Bai, Du Fu and several others on the dock. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: Trouble is coming. "Why are you two brothers here?" After the boat ramp was lowered, Ye Chang came down personally and greeted the two of them. "Ye Shiyi, you know what you are asking." Li Bai said quickly: "Oh, this is your ship? I have long heard you boast that you want to build a big ship and hang sails directly to sail across the sea. Now it seems that it is really different from other ships." "Zimei, let's go on the boat first." "No, without further ado, please let Ye Shiyi go with us." Li Bai looked slightly embarrassed. The reason why he didn't want to bring the topic to the boat. He immediately exposed the matter, but Du Fu was straight-tempered and didn't give him any time to buffer. ?Ye Chang smiled and said: "Where does Brother Zimei want me to go?" "Go and save Li Beihai" Du Fu stared at Ye Chang: "Eleventh Master, taking advantage of the fact that the big mistake has not yet been made, it can still be undone." Ye Chang's heart Suddenly unhappy. It can be said that 90% of the responsibility for the grudge between him and Li Yong does not lie with him, but the meaning of Du Fu's words is blaming. "I once heard someone say that if you don't seek death, you won't die. Li Yong is looking for death and I can't save him." Ye Chang said: "Brother Zimei, you should know about the grudges between me and him. I don't know if you just listen to it." "Have you heard Li Yong's words, or have all parties inquired about it?" I came here from the east to mediate between you two, but I didn¡¯t expect you to have the means to accuse him of corruption and rebellion Eleventh Lang, why are you doing this?¡± ¡°I am at home in Laizhou, and he sent someone to lure me to Beihai. , intends to arrest me, if I don't have some means, I'm afraid, brother Zimei, you will not see me here, but in the prison of Beihai. No, Li Yong is greedy and violent, if he captures me, he will torture me to death Brother Zimei, this is not a misunderstanding, this is Li Yong trying to murder me." Ye Chang said angrily: "Brother Zimei, Li Yong is your friend for many years, so why am I, Ye Shiyi, not your friend?" Du Fu did not expect Ye Chang's reaction to be so violent. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Eleventh Lang, you may have misunderstood. Li Beihai just mistakenly thought that you reported Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming" "Why is Zimei deceiving herself? ? Taibai is traveling with you. You must have known about the grudge between me and Huangfu Weiming. As for Wei Jian, Li Linfu wants to deal with him. What does it have to do with me? " Did Brother Taibai tell Li Yong silently? Nodding his head, he naturally said it, but every time he mentioned it, Li Yong would talk about him. At that time, Li Bai knew that Li Yong had absolutely no good impression of Ye Chang. But I never imagined that it would reach this point. "Li Yong knew clearly that it was not me who had reported Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, but he still insisted on arresting me. When the arrest failed, he even sent assassins. If I had not developed a vigilant temperament in front of the Longyou Army, grass would have grown on my grave." Ye Chang said sadly: "Li Yong is famous throughout the world. When I heard that he summoned me to see him, I was very excited and excited. I just thought I could see a generous elder who rewards the underachievers, but I didn't know that what I met turned out to be a conspiracy and a trap. It is about arresting and assassinating me. Although I am not talented, I cannot let others bully me. I also know that Li Yong is corrupt and perverting the law. Is there any reason not to report him to the court? " If Li Bai said this, he could still follow Ye Chang? During the last debate, Director Du Fu was really not good at this. He was stunned for a while, and then said: "After all, you are safe and sound. Li Beihai was at fault Eleventh Lang, you should also repay kindness with kindness" "Repay kindness with kindness, how can you repay kindness with kindness?" ?" Ye Chang shook his head: "Brother Zimei, your uncle never repaid evil with kindness." Du Fu couldn't refute the matter of Uncle Du Fu assassinating his ancestral enemy, but Du Fu was stubborn and he didn't bother to argue, so he just extended his hand. Grabbing Ye Chang's wrist: "Eleventh Lang, even if I just begged you, go and save Li Beihai's life. Now Li Beihai has been tortured to a state of disgrace."
