Chapter 1930: Chapter 1929: Waiting for the Highest Bid
Long Fei’s lips curled up as he stared at Elder Li Family, revealing his longsword.
The tension on the scene suddenly tightened, causing Li Yuanqing to hurriedly jump up, blocking the middle and saying, “Let’s focus on the investigation first, let’s not harm the harmony between us.”
Elder Li Family refuted indignantly, “Third Young Master, the Family Head is too rciful to this thief. His hands have reached into our Li Family, do we have to retreat step by step?”
Long Fei laughed loudly, “If you haven’t done anything wrong, then you aren’t afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. We are investigating the stables case now, what has it to do with you Li Family outsiders? You jumping up and down here, could it be that you have a guilty conscience?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Elder Li Family trembled in anger, sheathing his longsword with a snap, glaring coldly at Long Fei and threatening, “You boy have offended so many people, be careful walking down the road one day and dying a violent death!”
After saying that, he left angrily with a group of people from the Li Family.
Offspring from the Li Family on the scene shouted, “Elder, save us!”
“Elder, you can’t leave!”
“Second Uncle, you can’t stand by and do nothing!”
“…”
A group of people beca anxious, with no one left to back them up.
The presiding officer slamd the table and cursed, “Silence, anyone dares to speak again will be beaten to death with random blows!”
A group of people bowed their heads, shivering in fear, and quickly shut their mouths.
They could see clearly, those people above will not shelter them now.
Feng Quan, the steward, was the first to co forward, continuously kowtowing to Long Fei, crying loudly, “Consort Prince, I blackened my heart, believed the ghost talk of others and falsely accused you here. Please save my life, I’ll confess everything!”
The Guard Leader spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and cursed, “Feng Quan, don’t speak recklessly.”
Ignoring him, Feng Quan pointed at him and shouted, “It was all he forced to falsely accuse the Consort Prince! If I didn’t do it, he would kill my whole family. At ho, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, I had no choice!”
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
The Guard Leader’s eyes went red, struggling desperately under the hands of governnt officials.
A group of coachn, seeing this, also began to kowtow and confess, “Sir, we confess too. It was Commandant who ordered us to fra Old Ma, and it was also Commandant who handed us the ba dou powder to place under Old Ma’s bed!”
“Sir, I confess too. What Old Ma took from the Consort Prince’s courtyard was indeed dicine for injury, but it was Commandant who made us switch it with ba dou powder!”
“…”
On hearing this, Old Ma was moved to tears, breaking down in tears on the ground, finally vindicating his grievance.
Just now, he thought he was definitely dood.
Voices intertwined in the scene.
The facts beca clear without needing a trial, it was Commandant Shen Huaide, the Guard Leader, Supervision Leader, and others plotting together.
They drugged the battlehorses, set up Old Ma, and used this to fra Long Fei.
The one who poisoned was indeed Commandant Shen Huaide, there were coachn who ca forward to testify, even bringing out the cowhide paper used at the ti to wrap the dicine powder.
The presiding officer discussed and decided to rge the corruption case with the poisoning case for processing.
Due to the large number of people involved in the case, as night fell, the presiding officer ordered all suspects present to be detained and awaited further questioning tomorrow.
Long Fei, not bothered with the matter, discussed with the Seventh Princess about going outside for a al to catch a breath.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly caught up, clasping his fists and bowing, “Consort Prince, save , Consort Prince, save !”
Long Fei raised his eyebrows with a smile, “What does the Third Young Master an by this?”
Li Yuanqing, sweating on his forehead, said, “Consort Prince, tomorrow is the Emperor’s Heaven-worshipping Ceremony, the entire Ma Army cavalry will be going out of the city to provide protection. With all these war horses falling ill, we need to find a way to cure them quickly! If we delay the Heaven-worshipping Ceremony, we will all be in deep trouble!”
Long Fei smiled lightly, “Little General, what are you afraid of. Hasn’t soone already confessed? Whoever poisoned should be the one you find to solve the issue. After all, even if the higher-ups investigate, it’s they who will be held accountable.”
Li Yuanqing anxiously said, “Though that’s true, I don’t trust their dical skills! Just now, I asked the doctor, for this kind of diarrhea disease, it takes at least three days to ease after taking herbal dicine!”
Long Fei shrugged his shoulders, “Little General, I’m also powerless. I know so dicine, but I’m not an Immortal. Do you want to drink wine? Why not join us for a night out?”
Li Yuanqing took a breath, clasped his fists speechlessly, “I won’t delay the Consort Prince anymore, I’ll think of another way.”
He turned around and hurried back to find doctors for solutions.
He was the direct person in charge of the stables, and any problems there were his responsibility.
Furthermore, a massive problem had already arisen.
Should the Emperor not execute him, it would already be gracious.
The princess’s carriage departed, while Li Jinxuan sat in front looking unhappy.
The Seventh Princess, smiling, teased, “Soone in our carriage is displeased!”
Li Jinxuan turned back, curled her lips at the princess and Long Fei, saying, “Princess, Consort Prince. Normally I shouldn’t interfere in official matters, but you two are too unkind. My third brother has always stood by your side. Now that such a big problem has occurred in the stables, you don’t think about helping, instead you are planning to go out for a drink?”
The Seventh Princess laughed and said, “Look at this girl, knowing where to stand at crucial tis. Your Li Family has put my husband through such tornt, nearly framing him as a heinous poisoner, should I still be eager to help your Li Family?”
Li Jinxuan pouted, “Hey, you seemingly haven’t married him yet? Constantly calling him husband, do you still have the appearance of a princess?”
The Seventh Princess leaned to the side, holding onto Long Fei’s arm, coyly asked, “I can do what I want, are you envious, jealous, resentful?”
“I…”
Li Jinxuan gnashed her teeth, turned around to sulk alone.
Long Fei smiled and comforted her, “Miss Jinxuan, don’t worry! I have arrangents for the stable issues. Tomorrow, the Emperor’s Heaven-worshipping Ceremony will not be delayed.”
Li Jinxuan imdiately raised her brows, turned back to look at Long Fei, curiously asking, “Then why didn’t you tell my third brother earlier? Letting him misunderstand you?”
Long Fei sighed, “You don’t understand officialdom’s matters, I too don’t quite grasp, only fumbling to learn. So things can’t be rushed; otherwise, others will think you are easy to bully and will trouble you again.”
The Seventh Princess looked at Long Fei sympathetically, “If you don’t want to stay here, I’ll tell my father to give you another place. Seeing how you are now, where’s the bit of your forr free-spiritedness?”
Long Fei laughed heartily, “Experiencing all sorts of things in the world is always beneficial. Your father wants to groom as the Consort Prince, naturally involving all sorts of trials. Although days now feel stifling, it’s a kind of life experience. If I can’t even adapt to this, how can I be worthy of you?”
The Seventh Princess blushed, though feeling joy in her heart, she couldn’t quite believe his words.
She asked Long Fei, “Then what about the Yaochi Saintess? Lady Bai? You are no longer considering them now?”
Long Fei coughed lightly, “Let’s just talk about the present, not the future.”
The Seventh Princess glanced at him sideways, knowing his heart wasn’t solely on her.
They went to the most famous restaurant in the Capital City on the street.
The Li Family, at that mont, was already frantic, gathering a group of doctors in the stable, but their discussions led to no solutions.
Finally, a doctor suggested to Li Yuanqing, “General Li, you should go seek help from the Consort Prince. In our Celestial Realms City, apart from him, there’s probably no second person who can solve this issue.”
