Hearing his question, the woman took out a jade pendant from her cuff and lifted it up.

"Lord Xi, this jade pendant was given to me by Concubine Li's own mother back then. If you give this jade pendant to her, she will understand everything."

Looking at this jade pendant, Leng Xi's face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice:

"Are you looking for me just to give me this jade pendant?"

The woman directly bowed back a few steps, and said with a serious face:

"Lord Xi, please hand over the jade pendant to Concubine Li as soon as possible. We are here today and we have other matters. This is my son Li Tianyang. Let him explain it to you in detail."

After leaving these words, Mrs. Li took two steps back, walked out of Lengxi's study slowly, and closed the door directly after stepping on the water.

For the actions of the mother and daughter, Lengxi was a little puzzled, but full of curiosity.

After his mother left, Li Tianyang bowed and cupped his fists and said:

"Lord Xi, I'm here today to negotiate a deal with you."

"trade?"

Hearing these two words, Leng Xi directly raised his head and smiled, "Hahaha, you came to negotiate a deal with me? Who do you think you are?"

Li Tianyang continued without haste:

"Please, Lord Xi, listen to what I have to say before making a conclusion."

"Okay, tell me."

Lengxi touched Mrs. Li's jade pendant, and looked at Li Tianyang curiously, wanting to see what he could say.

Li Tianyang cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"Right now, Prince Yu is the person who threatens you the most in Daning Kingdom, and Prince Yu has Liu Dechang behind him. Even though you are married to Yu Shiming's daughter, you can't fight against Liu Dechang. So now you can be sure that if Xi Lord, if you don't plan ahead, when the emperor passes away, Prince Yu can sit on the throne without any suspense, and if you want to fight against him, it is like hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning."

His words made Lengxi's face somber as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, what he said seemed to make sense. In fact, this was what he had been worrying about all along.

Although he has now created the Megatron Gang, and has placed his own people in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, but this is not enough to compete with Liu Dechang's million-strong army.

He lowered his face and looked at him sharply, "Go on."

Seeing this, Li Tianyang raised his eyebrows and continued:

"And I can help you ascend to the throne."

"Hahaha……"

What he said made Lengxi laugh directly up to the sky, this Li Tianyang really didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

After laughing, he looked at him with deep eyes, "Li Tianyang, by you? Help me? How can you help me?"

Li Tianyang's eyes flickered a few times, and he said proudly:

"I came here today to show my cards, so I won't hide it from you. I'm from Chu State in the Western Regions. I can use the entire Chu State's troops to help you."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this sentence, Leng Xi immediately patted the table to question,

"Foreigners dare to come to my country of Daning to do evil, and dare to come to my mansion of Prince Xi blatantly? This king sees that you are really tired of living."

Although Lengxi was burning with anger, Li Tianyang was not afraid, but his pupils shrank slightly, and continued:

"Don't worry, Prince Xi. I'm thinking of you too. If you don't want to cooperate with Chu, then you don't even want to sit on the throne."

Leng Xi glared at Li Tianyang, and shook his hands in disdain,

"Hmph! Whether I can sit on the throne is also a matter for my Daning people, and has nothing to do with you, a foreigner, but since you took the initiative to send it to your door today, don't blame me for being rude to you."

After saying that, he shouted to the people outside:

"Come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and several guards from Prince Xi's Mansion broke in.

Lengxi pointed at Li Tianyang and said:

"Arrest this man and send him to the Ministry of Punishment."

Li Tianyang chuckled unhurriedly, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"I advise Lord Xi not to be impulsive, first show the jade pendant in your hand to Concubine Li, and then decide how to deal with me."

When mentioning jade pendant, Leng Xi suddenly thought of Li Tianyang's mother, he hurriedly asked the guard who just came in:

"Where's the woman outside?"

The guard shook his head in confusion,

"She left after she got out from here."

Hearing this, Leng Xi tightly held the jade pendant in his hand, and said to the guard:

"Put him in the firewood room first, so he can take care of him."

Li Tianyang allowed the guards to put his arms up without any struggle. He looked at Lengxi, and reminded him word by word with a sense of satisfaction:

"Lord Xi, I want to get out from you, it's easy, but don't worry, I won't leave, I'll wait for you, you'd better let Empress Li see this jade pendant as soon as possible, otherwise something will happen and you will be hurt later If you miss Lord Xi, then the gain outweighs the loss."

After leaving these words, he turned around without hesitation, and under the escort of the guards, he went out generously.

Lengxi looked coldly at the jade pendant in his hand, the patterns on it were obviously different from the jade products of Daning Kingdom, but what did this jade pendant have to do with the imperial concubine?

Sitting in the study, Leng Xi has been thinking about this question, if it is not so late now, he will definitely go to the palace to ask what happened.

……

In the early morning of the next day, at the court of Shuntian Mansion.

Yu Shiming sat on the main seat in the courtroom. He picked up the gavel on the table with a serious face, and roared sharply with a dark face:

"Ascension to... hall!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone brought rich man Li, Mr. Zhou and Master Yuan Gang in.

They knelt on the ground, looked at Yu Shiming above the main hall, then looked at Leng Yu and Princess Yu who were listening on the left, and then lowered their heads.

At this time, Yu Shiming patted the gavel and shouted sharply:

"People in the hall, report their names."

Rich Man Li was the first to reply:

"Li Hongfu, a grassroots man, is from Lijiazhuang."

"The next official, Zhou Dasheng, is the county magistrate of Minghua."

"I am... my name is Yuan Gang..."

Master Yuan Gang was about to use his speech skills to answer Yu Shiming's question, but when he saw Leng Yu's sharp eyes, he immediately shut up and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Yu Shiming patted the gavel again and asked,

"The three of you, you murdered a woman from a good family, do you agree with this?"

Hearing this, rich man Li was the first to kowtow:

"My lord, we have been wronged. Those women all married into Li's house voluntarily, and they also took money from our family, so this is not called cruelty at all."

After saying this, he suddenly looked at Luo Lan, and said:

"Wasn't Concubine Yu also sold into Prince Yu's mansion back then? If people in the royal family can do this, why can't we ordinary people?"

His words made Leng Yu's eyes feel cold, and he made a backhand, and an iron ball the size of a finger appeared in his hand, aiming directly at rich man Li's forehead.

"what!"

Rich Li suddenly covered his forehead and shouted,

"Who? Who dares to commit murder in the courtroom?"
