The person who was locked in Dali Temple in front of me was Li Xin's teacher and the old captain of Yulinwei Wang Zhong.

After Old Man Ye died, Wang Zhong had already resigned from his position as Yulin Guard and retired in a farm outside the city of the Marquis of Jing'an. Occasionally, Li Xin would go to see him, but now, he has been arrested into Dali Temple.

Li Xin was really angry.

If the old Taoist priest, as the junior brother of Chunyang Zhenren, was indeed a person in the game, then Master Wang was completely an outsider, but was thrown in without saying anything, then the emperor's meaning would be very obvious.

Force him to hand over that sharp weapon.

Otherwise, the people involved by him, or those involved with him, and those he cares about may be thrown into the Dali Temple prison one by one!

From Yiyangzi to Master Wang, in the future, they may be Chen Chuqi, Chen Shiliu, Zhong Xiaoxiao, and even... Li Xin's children!

The emperor wanted to tell Li Xin clearly that if he did not submit, he would implicate more and more people!

This method is not clever and quite despicable.

But this just shows that the emperor has no choice but to have any other means than this slightly despicable method.

As of now, the emperor's methods are not too fierce. Yiyangzi was beaten half to death, but as Li Xin's master, Wang Zhong was only slightly scarred, which shows that the emperor did not want to completely turn against Li Xin. He left some room to make Li Xin bow his head and admit defeat.

Wang Zhong was brought in in consciously. After hearing Li Xin's voice, he looked back at Li Xin, then understood something. He walked to the side close to Li Xin and sat down, laughed at himself: "I am still wondering why I was caught in Dali Temple for no reason. With my official qualities, I am not qualified to enter this Dali Temple. After seeing you, I understand."

After Ye Sheng left, Old Man Wang was in a bad mood. When he saw Li Xin at this moment, he looked calm and said slowly: "Boy, do whatever you should do. Since those people can even arrest me, the old man, and threaten you, it means they can't do anything to you."

"I am in my seventies and have lived enough."

He still didn't know that Li Xin's enemy was the emperor of the current dynasty. He just thought that Li Xin had offended someone in the court, and was either framed or wronged, and was imprisoned in Dali Temple.

Li Xin was not in the same cell as him, and he smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Master, are you okay?"

"Nothing happens."

Wang Zhong said, "It was when they arrested me, they attacked them and injured several people. Later, they saw that they were from the court and were afraid of causing trouble, so they let them arrest him."

Wang Zhong is the number one master of Yulin Guard and has practiced internal martial arts. Even if he is seventy years old, Li Xin may not be his opponent. If the people from Dali Temple go to catch him, if he wants to run away, he will probably be able to escape.

What he said was that he was afraid of causing trouble, but that he was afraid of causing trouble for Li Xin.

Even so, he defeated four or five people from Dali Temple. After he surrendered, he was beaten by the people from Dali Temple venting his anger.

Marquis Jing'an's face was as deep as water.

He took a deep breath and said to Wang Zhong: "Master, let's take a break here, and I will let you go out in a while."

As he spoke, he stuffed the two quilts in his cell into Wang Zhong's cell through the gaps in the cell. Even his first-class official uniform embroidered with a kirin was thrown to Wang Zhong's side.

Under the gaze of Wang Zhong and Yiyangzi, Li Xin walked to the door of his cell and pushed it gently.

The cell door was opened.

In fact, since the eldest princess came, it has not been locked. Li Xin wanted to go out and could go out at any time.

After the Marquis Jing'an stepped out with one foot, he thought about it and took it back. He reached out and patted the door of the cell and shouted in a low voice: "Yang Hong, I want to see the emperor!"

The Dali Temple Prison is only part of the Dali Temple, and is also a very small part of the Dali Temple's power. As the Dali Temple Minister, Yang Hong has many things to deal with in a day. Generally speaking, it is impossible to be in the Dali Temple Prison. However, when Li Xin called out, Yang Qingzheng, as the Dali Temple Minister, actually ran to Li Xin and opened the door for Li Xin himself.

"Mr. Li, the carriage outside has been ready for a long time."

Li Xin glanced at him expressionlessly.

"My mentor, did you send someone to capture it?"

Yang Hong shivered and said with a thorn intent, "The Marquis misunderstood that the respected teacher was arrested by the inner guard and sent to Dali Temple..."

At this time, he did not dare to admit this matter, so he could only expose it to the inner guard. Anyway, the inner guard was directly under His Majesty. Even if this Marquis Li was angry, he could not vent his Majesty.

Marquis Jing'an groaned and left with his hands behind his back.

"Take good care of my teacher, otherwise Dali Temple will not want to have a peaceful life!"

After saying that, he left and went to the prison to prepare a carriage that had been prepared for several days.

……………………

Weiyang Palace, side hall.

There are still two kings and ministers, and there is no third person in the side palace.

The two men sat opposite each other across the low table, one wearing a luxurious purple robe, and the other wearing brocade clothes, was quite sloppy, with a few pieces of hay brought out from the Dali Temple.

"Did Chang'an figure it out?"

The emperor looked calm and asked questions while pouring wine for Li Xin.

Li Xin sat opposite the emperor, his face calm.

"I quit."

The emperor frowned slightly.

"What does Chang'an mean?"

“Literally.”

Li Xin raised his wine glass, raised his head and drank it all.

"No matter whether it's sick or retirement, I will stop working in the court from today."

Li Xin had a blank expression on his face: "This prince's grand sir, the general of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Jing'an will all be returned to you."

"I took my wife and children back to my hometown in Yongzhou to live."

Seeing the emperor's dull expression, Li Xin continued, "I know you may not be assured that I will go so far. I can live in a farm outside the city, like Master Ye, who has not left the house for decades, how about it?"

Emperor Taikang finally understood what Li Xin meant. He frowned and said, "If you hand over that thing, the court will still use you, and I will still believe you."

"It's not that the court uses me or not."

Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine and looked up at the emperor.

"I'm quitting."

"From today on, no matter what happens in the court, it has nothing to do with me. Whether your Majesty agrees or disagrees."

He took a deep breath.

"After I go back, I will write a memorial to His Majesty for resigning, and I will not do it."

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Li Xin, who was a little unruly in front of him.

Eight years since he ascended the throne, Li Xin has always spoken his Majesty and respectfully called himself a "subject" in front of him. Now that Li Xin's attitude when he returned to the secret residence made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then your Majesty will kill me."

Li Xin had no expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, that thing is not in your hands, and it is impossible for you to give it to you. If you catch anyone in front of me, I will have this answer. I will resign now and be an idle person. I will not pose any threat to Your Majesty in the future. If this is not possible, I have to let Your Majesty kill me with one knife."

The emperor was a little panicked.

Over the years, Li Xin has done too many things for him. Now Li Xin appears in front of him and suddenly says that he has quit. He suddenly feels a little uncomfortable.

Although this was once the situation he wanted to see the most.

There was silence in the side hall.

It took a long time before the emperor spoke slowly.

"Chang'an, I may have been a little anxious these days. Why not do this? You go home and think about it for a few days..."

"I and you both need to be calm."

Li Xin stood up from the other side of the low table without expression, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have been thinking very clearly in the prison these days. Let's see how your Majesty considers it."

After saying that, he got up and left.
