Yang Guozhong also received reports that his men were intercepted by Li Ye and suffered casualties.

Yang Guozhong was annoyed and had a headache. The headache was because he knew that Li Ye was difficult to deal with, did not follow rules, and was cruel to others, such as Wang Gong. Yang Guozhong had already guessed that the former censor Zhongcheng Wang Gong died in the Yellow River, and it was Li Ye who did it, but he did not Evidence, if you really fall out with him, you may not even know how you and your son died.

But Li Ye publicly disgraced the Yang family, and Yang Guozhong lost face.

He immediately told his eldest son Yang Xuan, "Go and deal with it!"

Yang Xuan stepped forward and when he saw the dead body on the ground, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes and asked: "Why did Governor Li kill my followers?"

Li Ye smiled faintly, "I didn't kill him, it was your men who hacked him to death. They probably wanted to kill him and silence him!"

Yang Xuan pointed at the corpse, turned around and asked, "Who killed him?"

The leading warrior gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Lian was dragged off his horse, and I went to rescue him because of my humble duty. I accidentally injured him!"

Yang Xuan clasped his fists again and said to Li Ye: "I misunderstood. I apologize to Governor Li, but okay, why did the Governor drag him down?"

"Of course I have to take care of him when he molests Princess Guangning!"

Yang Xuan was startled and asked hurriedly: "Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Princess Guangning slowly stepped forward, "I am here, and your evil slave is whipping me. Is this the family tradition of your Yang family?"

Yang Xuan quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't know, I will punish the evil slave severely."

Just as Princess Guangning was about to speak, Li Ye said, "Your Highness, let Wei Chen handle this matter, okay?"

Princess Guangning nodded and followed Suzaku to the back.

Li Ye helped Yang Xuan up and said with a smile: "Master Yang, you might as well say a few words to your father, and I will talk to your father again. What do you think?"

"Okay! Governor Li will wait a moment."

Yang Xuan hurried away. He reported to his father, Yang Guozhong. After a moment, he stepped forward and said, "My father asked Governor Li to speak to him."

Other Yang family carriages entered the West Market first. At this moment, a carriage stopped and the window opened, revealing Yang Yupei's charming face. She chuckled and asked, "Is Governor Li going back?"

"Reporting to Madam, I will leave after two days of humble duty."

Yang Yupei narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't forget our agreement?"

Li Ye nodded, "Madam, don't worry, I will demolish their Guangming Temple if the Sogdians dare not give it!"

Yang Yupei chuckled, "I just like General Li's arrogance, don't worry! As long as I'm here, no one dares to touch your father."

"Thank you ma'am!"

Yang Yupei waved her hand and the carriage rushed towards the west market. The Holy Emperor gave her a gem two days ago, which was presented by An Lushan. She still felt that it was not as good as the imperial concubine, so she had to place all her hopes on Li When it comes to Ye, sometimes, she doesn't want the gem, but wants to bet on the tone. If the imperial concubine has it, she must have it too!

Li Ye came to Yang Guozhong's carriage, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "See the Prime Minister!"

"Captain Li, come up and sit down!"

Yang Guozhong was a little dizzy now. His men whipped the princess, and she was the emperor's favorite princess. If the princess went to the emperor to complain, it would be difficult for him to explain.

Li Ye got on the carriage and said with a smile: "Actually, I am doing it for the good of the Prime Minister. These slaves are doing whatever they want and going behind the master's back. They have benefited, but they have ruined the reputation of the Prime Minister and the Yang family." .”

Yang Guozhong immediately understood what Li Ye meant. He nodded: "Captain Li has seen clearly. How could I order the evil slave to beat the princess? It's ridiculous!"

"But if a dog bites someone, the dog owner is also responsible."

Yang Guozhong nodded, "Captain Li, why don't you just tell me how to solve this matter?"

Li Ye said slowly: "Compensate the princess with three thousand guan, and the other twelve evil slaves will each break a leg. I guarantee that the princess will not complain to the emperor, and the matter ends here!"

"Okay!" Yang Guozhong agreed. Three thousand guan of money was nothing to him, and he didn't care about the lives of a few slaves.

"I'm going to tell the princess that before noon tomorrow, the evil slave will be sent to the Prince Consort's Mansion for an examination of his injuries, and the money will be sent with him."

Li Ye got off the carriage and left. Yang Xuan whispered: "Father, why did he suddenly become so talkative?"

Yang Guozhong looked at Li Ye's figure with doubtful eyes and said, "I guess he's leaving. I don't want to cause any more trouble. His two conditions are acceptable, and I'll leave it to you to deal with."

"The child must be dealt with well."

Why is Li Ye so easy to talk to? He was actually saving Cheng Changyin.

This is what really happened in history. The evil slaves of the Yang family collided with Princess Guangning during the Lantern Festival. Princess Guangning was killed. Cheng Changyin was eager to protect his wife and was whipped several times by the evil slaves of the Yang family.

Afterwards, Princess Guangning cried and complained to her father, but the final result was shocking. The Yang family had nothing to do with it, but Li Longji's knife of accountability slashed at the consort Cheng Changyin, scolding him for not protecting the princess, and divorced him as the consort. Depose him.

Princess Guangning cried and refused, but it was no use. A loving couple was torn apart by the Yang family's lust.

The key is Mrs. Guo. Now she is the most powerful woman in the Tang Dynasty. Even Gao Lishi dare not mess with her. Her influence on the emperor has far exceeded that of the imperial concubine.

Li Ye knew this very well, so he restrained his anger and resolved the matter properly.

After this unpleasant incident happened, everyone had no intention of admiring the lanterns. Li Ye's carriage happened to be nearby, and so did the princess's carriage. The four of them got into the two carriages and headed towards Pingkangfang one after the other.

Suzaku whispered: "Guang Ning is very angry. She has never suffered such injustice and wants to complain to her father."

Li Ye said calmly: "Tell her, if she wants to divorce her husband, just file a complaint!"

Suzaku was startled, "Why do you say that?"

Li Ye sneered and said: "Suzaku, don't you know that the Yang family is now extremely favored by the emperor. On one side, my beloved daughter has been wronged, and on the other side, the Yang family that I rely on wholeheartedly, what do you think the emperor will choose?"

Suzaku was extremely smart. She thought about it and understood immediately, "You mean the emperor will attack a third party and hold the prince-in-law accountable?"

Li Ye nodded, "This is inevitable. The emperor not only has to give an explanation to his daughter, but also to the Yang family. The blame must fall on the consort. Why didn't he take good care of the princess? Why didn't he let the princess sit in the carriage? , but let her show up in public? The princess wants to vent her anger, and the Yang family wants dignity. He should no longer be the consort. Not only should he be eliminated, but he should also be held accountable and give the Yang family an explanation!"

Suzaku thought for a while and said: "If you put it this way, the prince-in-law is really responsible. He should not let the princess show up, especially on the night of the Yuan Dynasty. It is really unsafe."

"He must be responsible, but if he offends the Yang family, one point of responsibility becomes ten points."

"I see!"

Suzaku nodded and said, "I will persuade the princess later to accept your plan. They are a very loving couple. It is a pity to break up over this matter."

In the elegant interior of Bai Yutang, Suzaku was whispering to Princess Guangning. On the balcony at the end of the corridor, Li Ye leaned on the railing and looked at the bright lights and the flow of people below.

At this time, Cheng Changyin walked to Li Ye and sighed: "I'm so useless!"

Li Ye said calmly: "Why blame yourself? Just live a good life. Such a peaceful life will not last for a few years."

Cheng Changyin nodded, "You are right, the princess should not complain to the emperor. In the end, the emperor will definitely pick on the weak one, and I am the weakest one."

"Yes! Now is the time when the Yang family is at its strongest. It is unwise to be enemies with them. Even I restrained myself from killing anyone."

"But aren't the two conditions that Brother Xian put forward for the Yang family too much? Break the legs of twelve people!"

Li Ye laughed and said, "That's because you are trying to save others by yourself. You think it is unacceptable to break the legs of twelve subordinates, but Yang Guozhong is not like that. I know Yang Guozhong very well, and the conditions I offered him are precisely those that make it easiest for him." Accept it. Three thousand guan is nothing to him. Any wealthy businessman can solve it for him. At least he will never care about the life and death of his subordinates. There are too many warriors in the Yang family, but if one day it is his turn He is dead, no matter how many warriors he has, no one will save him, this is his life."
