There was a loud bang, and the smoke filled the gunpowder.

Before Li Yan could kneel down, his head exploded halfway, and his eyes were still sarcastic, so he lay down straight.

The palace maid in the distance screamed, and Concubine Wan lost her appearance, covering her lips and eyes full of fear.

Looking up, Cao Hua, wearing a silver military uniform, looked angry, holding a fire stick, pointing at Li Yan in front of him, with blue smoke still remaining at the black muzzle.

The teacup in Zhao Jie's hand fell, his eyes full of incredible.

“Bold!”

Xue Jiuquan and Liang Shicheng's scolding sounded at the same time.

Xue Jiuquan, who was hunched over, suddenly bounced up, his robe swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he came to Cao Hua.

The dry and five fingers of his left hand grabbed Cao Hua's neck like a hook, pressed it on the ground, and slapped his right hand at the head with a palm.

The next moment, the end of blood splattering three steps.

"stop!"

Zhao Jie slapped the table suddenly, stood up and stared at the young man with anger on the ground, and looked a little out of control when he was extremely angry.

He had seen a musket once, but he was not scared by the sound, but Zhao Jie never dreamed that Cao Hua, who had always been steady, could do something to kill people in front of him.

Xue Jiuquan hurriedly stopped, turned his body and knelt in front of Zhao Jie, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the old slave is incompetent in charge, and he deserves to die. Cao Hua is young and energetic. He was surrounded by twenty people and was killed and killed seven times. He almost caused the princess to lose her life. He was so impulsive in anger. I hope Your Majesty will give him a lighter punishment!"

The sound and tears fell.

Li Yan was opened on the spot, and he was already dead.

Zhao Jie was furious, but he couldn't lose his right arm within a day. He glared for a long time and looked at the old eunuch who had been wearing all his life, and said coldly:

"Even if there is a reason, Cao Hua is too reckless. If I hand over Princess Yong'an to him, I am really worried. I will talk about the marriage later..."

Xue Jiu was full of grief and urgently advised: "Your Majesty think twice, I must dominate this rebellious son. I hope Your Majesty will serve you all your life..."

"Don't mention this matter again."

Zhao Jie waved his sleeves and was about to leave.

At this moment, a voice came from the side hall of Fuyan Palace:

"His Majesty calms down."

"See the Queen Mother!"

The palace maids and eunuchs around him quickly knelt down, and Zhao Jie quickly put away his anger and went forward to greet him.

The kind-hearted and kind-hearted old lady was helped by Zhao Tianluo and walked towards the garden. She turned a blind eye to the corpse on the ground, just looking at Zhao Jie:

"Your Majesty, I heard about the affairs of Queshan County. In such a dangerous environment, Cao Hua still hugged Luo'er and refused to let go, and rushed out of the siege. When encountering such a thing, everyone would be angry, let alone Cao Hua."

Although he is not a biological mother, Zhao Jie respects the empress dowager who helped him ascend the throne very much. He stepped forward and held his arm and frowned:

"Cao Hua is too reckless. Li Yan just made a small mistake. It's really a killing..."

"well!"

The Empress Dowager walked slowly in the garden and sat down, holding Zhao Tianluo's hand, and whispered: "There is a natural capable minister, Cao Hua is twenty-two. He is young and energetic, so he can just take a little punishment. How can the Ai family explain to King Kang?"

Zhao Jie thought for a while with his hands on his back, looked at Cao Hua who lowered his head and was silent, and finally waved his hand:

"I have been fined for three years. By the way, I will check Li Yan and block the court officials' mouths. Li Yan is already dead. This is the West City..."

The Empress Dowager smiled gently: "Xicheng Office has heavy business and Cao Hua is almost busy with his wedding. Let Liang Shicheng take over Xicheng Office. Does Your Majesty feel?"

Zhao Jie thought for a while: "Then according to the Queen Mother's words, we will all be separated!"

"promise!"

Liang Shicheng, who was in power for no reason, dared not show surprise. He just bowed to say goodbye, and raised Li Yan's body with General Manager Xue and went outside Fuyan Palace.

Cao Hua held Fan Chenglin, who had been scared in one hand, and bowed to say goodbye.

--------

In the garden.

After several servants left, the empress dowager's face slightly darkened, and she was a little confused: "With Cao Hua's nature, she shouldn't have done such a reckless thing. The So Ai family in Xicheng was originally planning to hand it over to him, so why bother so rush?"

Zhao Jie's face was gloomy and he didn't know what to think about. He held the teacup and was silent for a long time before his expression calmed down:

"Concubine, you are not scared, are you?"

Concubine Wan dared to speak.

Zhao Tianluo sat next to him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Li Yan sent someone to assassinate Cao Hua. On the way, I knew he would not give up, but I didn't expect to be so impulsive, but... this also shows that he is not greedy for power. I see what Li Yan did. A servant will die if he dies..."

Zhao Jie nodded slightly: "Li Gang's last interview has not stopped now. Li Yan is just dead, so that those court officials will not chatter."

The Queen Mother smiled gently but didn't say much.

----------------------

Outside the palace gate, the Black Feather Guard who was waiting carried the body away, and some imperial guards lowered their heads and looked at them without squinting.

Cao Hua stood at the palace gate and patted his robe casually, with a plain expression.

Xue Jiuquan was still hunched over, looking at Li Yan's body with sarcasm.

"Mr. Xue, Governor Cao."

Liang Shicheng walked up to him and raised his hand to salute, looking at Cao Hua full of admiration: "Governor Cao is indeed extremely brave, and Liang will definitely come to visit him another day."

Originally, it could not catch up with Li Yan and Xue Jiuquan, but today, they became the ruler of the Xicheng Institute for no reason. Liang Shicheng can be said to have soared into the sky, and it is natural to be grateful in his heart.

Cao Hua looked at him a few times, wondering if he would like to make up for another shot, but he was also responsible. If he dared to do this, no one would be able to save him.

Seeing Liang Shicheng leaving in the sedan chair, Xue Jiuquan's face calmed down and frowned:

"Huazi, your decisive and decisive skills are very different from the past. My father thought you would plan a plan of nine twists and turns, and I was really shocked by you just now."

Cao Hua's expression was plain, but he just held Xue Jiuquan's arm and walked along the palace wall: "Li Gang wrote a letter to impeach and was demoted to other places. All the civil and military officials in the court were criticized. For this reason, coupled with the incident in Queshan County, he killed Li Yan directly, which was nothing more than a matter of letting the emperor scold him. The princess would definitely go to ask the queen mother to plead for me. If she didn't kill him at this time, how long would she wait?"

Xue Jiuquan nodded slowly and sighed quietly: "Clean and neat... However, the emperor is obviously unhappy today, you have to restrain yourself in the future."

Cao Hua doesn't care whether the emperor likes him or not, as long as he doesn't die.

"No one is perfect, so you have to leave some shortcomings to avoid being afraid of the emperor. Besides, if you kill Li Yan, the world will evaluate me better. Even if you bite a dog, it will be better than being in the same mood. Doing other things in the future will be smoother."

Xue Jiuquan nodded slightly, but he could hardly guess what the adopted son was thinking. He was silent for a little:

"Huazi, what you think is great, what are you going to do?"

Cao Hua smiled and looked at the bustling streets of Tokyo: "Prepare the affairs of the king and win the reputation of his life."

Xue Jiuquan nodded and thought for a moment: "I can't guess the old bones about young people. The road is long, you have to walk slowly by yourself."

--------

On that day, news that Li Yan was sentenced to death by the emperor came from the palace.

Many officials outside Weizhou would wait for the news of a "three-year salary fine" in the future. Unexpectedly, the Hei Yuwei directly carried Li Yan's body out of the street and carried an imperial edict, which was the general idea, "I know, the treacherous ministers have been killed, and the people who have wronged will be compensated. The Song Dynasty was still very peaceful, but a mouse came out, and so on.

Such a decisive emperor was shocked by many court officials.

Many loyal old ministers even knelt down with gratitude, and almost shouted "The late emperor opened his eyes" or "If he didn't make a sound, he would make a big splash."

Unfortunately, the court officials soon heard the news that "Cao Taisui killed the traitor in front of the imperial eunuch". Everyone was puzzled. They didn't know where Cao Hua, who was also an eunuch party, wanted to make trouble. Even if he eliminated dissidents, this method was too wild and he was simply a mad dog.

As soon as this happened, it was certain that it shocked the government and the people. Wang Fu, who was the right prime minister at the time, wrote a letter to Zhao Jie, saying that the power of the Diankui was too great and needed to be reduced. Cai Jing also sent a letter to Zhu Jie, who was in Jiangnan, indicating that he would be "be careful".

Because Cao Hua, a yellow-haired child who just started, did not follow the routine at all, and there was a little trick in the officialdom that he didn't need to kill people directly. I thought Cao Hua was going to be alone, but now that this happened, everyone couldn't figure out what he was going to do.

Cao Hua naturally would not explain, so he let outsiders guess.

After Li Yan's death, Liang Shicheng took over the Xicheng Institute that day.

Although all the crimes of Li Yan's family were confirmed, they were all blamed for Li Yan in the end, and they could not affect the existence of Xicheng District. It was just killing a eunuch, which did not affect the current situation.

In the eyes of the people in the city, the notorious Cao Taisui finally did something. Although he was biting a dog and making him feel furious, killing the rape of the traitor Li Yan was indeed very satisfying.
