Chapter 658 Fighting Back
Huang Shengyan's eyes lit up.
He quickly stood up, walked around and came in front of Li Cunxi.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I wonder what kind of merit this is?"
"Just relax, it must be a great achievement."
"This, no merit, no reward, this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong with that? You said you would cooperate with me, so naturally I have to give you a big credit."
"Then I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Qin." Huang Shengyan said with a smile, "As long as there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely not back down."
"Of course we need your help, and you will soon know what we need your help with." Li Cunxi said mysteriously, "Okay, I'll go back first, you stay."
"I'll see His Royal Highness Prince Qin and Doctor Lu off."
Lu Dayou, who had been silent all the way, followed Li Cunxi out of the Inner Guard Palace.
As soon as he left the street where the Inner Guard Palace was located, Lu Dayou snorted softly, his face full of dissatisfaction.
"It must be the work of those big clans. We must let them know how powerful we are this time."
Li Cunxi nodded and looked around in the darkness.
"I need you to go to Luzhou, Brother Dayou. It is not convenient for me to leave Luoyang now. I will leave this difficult task to you."
The two returned to Di Mansion, but did not find Di Renjie, so they hurried back to Li Cunxi's small courtyard.
Di Guangzhao was indeed obedient and never left. He was still reading in Li Cunxi's study.
Hearing the noise outside, Di Guangzhao quickly stood up and went out to greet Li Cunxi.
However, just as he stood up, the door was pushed open from the outside. Li Cunxi brought a chill, making the originally warm study room much colder.
After Lu Dayou entered, he quickly closed the door. The two of them huddled around the brazier, stirring up a small flame to keep themselves as warm as possible.
"Cunxi, Lord Lu."
Di Guangzhao hurriedly called out and stood aside obediently.
"Just call me Dayou, no need to be so polite." Lu Dayou rubbed his hands and blew air into his palms.
"Okay, great." Di Guangzhao said, and then looked at Li Cunxi eagerly.
Li Cunxi sniffed and said, "I already know the details, Third Brother, you are fine. I will not let those people go if they dare to plot against you."
"Who is plotting against me, Cunxi?"
Di Guangzhao gritted his teeth and felt very uncomfortable.
He was not a good son in Weizhou at the beginning, so it was understandable that he was plotted against.
Now he is wholeheartedly serving the people and being a good official, so why are there still people plotting against him?
Putting aside the fact that he is Di Renjie's son, he is more or less a good official now. Why are you trying to plot against him? Isn't this simply insane?
"I do not know."
Li Cunxi rubbed his hands, but still felt that they were not warm enough, so he shouted outside:
"Come some people and make the fire bigger."
A servant came in hurriedly, brought some charcoal and put it into the brazier one by one.
Li Cunxi waved his hand to dismiss the servants, turned to Di Guangzhao and said:
"Third brother, although I don't know who is plotting against you, this is not a very important matter."
"What matters is who we want to scheme against us."
Di Guangzhao understood it immediately and a look of delight appeared on his face.
"Cunxi, that is to say, whoever I say bribed me, that's who bribed me?"
"Of course. Since you can't find the person who bribed you, just name someone who bribed you." Li Cunxi wiped his nose. "Now, who do you think is the most likely person to bribe you?"
"It must be those big clans in Luzhou. After I arrived in Luzhou, I only had grudges against them." Di Guangzhao sniffed hard, "If I really accepted bribes, then they must have been the ones who bribed me."
Li Cunxi said no more and sat aside, waiting for Di Guangzhao to figure out who to frame.
Anyway, Di Guangzhao himself was framed, and now that he was caught red-handed, it was natural for him to drag other people into the crime.
Li Cunxi also figured out the reason for helping Di Guangzhao get rid of the crime.
With just a little bit of back-moving, Di Guangzhao could be branded as a corrupt official without having to go to jail.
After a long while, Di Guangzhao suddenly let out a strange laugh.
"You bastards, if you don't want me to have an easy life, then I will be rude to you."
He suddenly turned to Li Cunxi and said:
“Cunxi, I want to identify those big clans as the ones who bribed me.”
"The reason is simple. They want me to accept bribes and then pull their family members up."
"Although this would confirm my reputation as a corrupt official, it would not be punishable by death, because I did not promote any of their family members to higher positions."
"This is exactly what you said back then, corruption is not against the law!"
"I want to make these bastards know that I am not someone to be trifled with. Not only will I label them as those who have bent the law for personal gain, I will also report them and inform everyone in Luzhou of their bribery of me."
"By that time, no matter how bad my reputation is, it won't be worse than those big families."
"I will make them lose face and become infamous forever!"
Li Cunxi showed a look of relief and silently defined Di Guangzhao as a sharp knife.
If there is anything inconvenient to do in the future, this third brother can also serve as his spearhead and can go to various places to serve as a governor at any time and fight with those officials.
"Third brother, since you have made your decision, let's go."
"Go to the Inner Guard House and tell me all the people you want to frame. This time, I will help you make a big fuss."
Li Cunxi stood up and extended his hand to Di Guangzhao.
"Okay, this time we brothers will let those evil beasts in Luzhou know how powerful we are!"
Di Guangzhao raised his voice, looked fierce, and was determined to die together with the big clans.
He has had a bad reputation for a long time.
This time, the reputation is just a little worse, that's all.
Two hours later, an exquisite carriage stopped outside the Inner Guard Palace.
The guard on duty saw that the people coming were Li Cunxi and Lu Dayou who had returned, so he stopped talking and took the initiative to step forward to lead the way.
"Your Highness Prince Qin, Doctor Lu, please follow me."
Li Cunxi hummed, reached out to help Di Guangzhao down, and the three of them walked into the Inner Guard Palace together.
Huang Shengyan, who had been waiting for a long time, walked out of the cell. Sweating all over, he dropped the bloody whip in his hand and greeted them with a smile.
"Your Highness Prince Qin, Doctor Lu, you are here."
As soon as he approached, he saw Di Guangzhao following behind him.
"Master Di, I haven't seen you for half a month. You are still as energetic as ever. It seems that you haven't encountered any difficulties."
Di Guangzhao put on an ugly smile and bowed to Huang Shengyan.
The last time he came, Huang Shengyan scared him, causing him to still not dare to face Huang Shengyan.
"Grand Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time. This time I'm here to surrender."
