For the past three days, except for three meals a day, which were delivered on time, no one mentioned any outside news to Li Yi.

Li Yi was like an isolated island in the middle of nowhere in this small courtyard, with no way of knowing what was happening outside.

After working hard for so long, this can be considered a time to rest.

Li Yi did not waste any time. After lying on the top of the city and watching Mao Wenlong practice boxing for two days, Mao Wenlong finally no longer returned to his house with an indifferent expression, but also came to the top of the city.

One is the Zuo Dudu and the chief military officer of Dongjiang, and the other is the censor of Qiandu and the inspector of Liaodong. The two of them are sitting on the top of the city, one old and one young. They look harmonious.

Mao Wenlong was originally gloating and making fun of Li Yi's misfortune, but as he spoke, he began to curse those damn officials, as if he had suffered a big loss.

Li Yi was a little confused and asked doubtfully: "Shuai Mao, have you been framed by Yan Guan?"

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why do you seem to hate those officials more than I do?"

"I am a military attaché. Isn't it natural to hate Yan Guan?"

Li Yi was steadied by Mao Wenlong's innocent answer, shook his head and said: "Mao Shuai, when I went to court, Wang Yongguang said three words, "You are not worthy", and the ministers next to me all looked like they were taking it for granted.

It looks just like you."

Mao Wenlong smacked his mouth and said, "It's all because you are so evil. You can say that you are a civil servant. You can be beaten by anyone with a gun and mount a horse. But if you say that you are a military officer, the censor of Qiandu and the inspector are both civil servants.

position."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Shuai Mao, do you think I look like a civilian official or a military attache?"

Mao Wenlong looked Li Yi up and down, pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that one of the scholars is called a Confucian General. You, the boy, work hard, but you can barely be called a Confucian General."

"Haha, Marshal Mao, Confucian generals refer to those literati generals with superb military strategies. I, a rough guy who carries a gun and rushes into battle, have nothing to do with Confucian generals."

Mao Wenlong was not embarrassed by his common sense mistakes. He laughed along with Li Yi and said: "If you are a rough guy, then wouldn't we, the rough guys, be barbarians?"

Since that day, Li Yi would climb up the wall and talk to Mao Wenlong every day.

The surrounding Jin Yiwei were a bit restrictive at first, but in the end they knew their identities, so they were not demanding, as long as they stood in their own yard.

Li Yi didn't climb the wall again that day because Lu Changfeng came.

Li Yi, who has been cut off from the outside world for four days, now urgently needs to know what is happening outside.

Lu Changfeng had a relaxed look on his face. When he walked into the courtyard, he looked at the wall that Li Yi climbed over and said with a smile: "I heard that you and Mao Wenlong talked about it together."

Li Yi moved a stool out of the house and asked Lu Changfeng to sit down, while he sat comfortably under the sun, basking in the sun.

"I have to do something after being stuck here all day." Li Yi said with a smile.

Then he looked at Lu Changfeng's expression and asked tentatively: "Brother Lu, are you here for something this time?"

Lu Changfeng nodded and said: "Don't be excited, kid. The reason why I can come here today is because the commander asked me to chat with you. You should understand, right?"

Luo Yangxing was the commander of the Jinyi Guards and a personal soldier of the Emperor. He asked Lu Changfeng to come, which was what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.

Emperor Chongzhen was trying to appease himself.

Li Yi heard this and said: "So what happened to Chen Hongyan and others when they fell to the ground?"

Lu Changfeng said seriously: "We are escorting the capital now. I'm afraid it will take ten days to reach the capital."

"So what is the court's plan?" Li Yi asked again.

Lu Changfeng looked at the excited Li Yi and knew that Chen Hongyan was his confidante. He sighed: "This matter will naturally be tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment together, but I have already investigated clearly. Momen did distribute food and grass to some hungry people.

And these hungry people did later seek refuge with Wang Zuogui."

Li Yi said with a stern look: "The hungry people took refuge in Wang Zuogui. What happened later? The Momen was just to provide relief to the victims. What's wrong with that?"

Lu Changfeng looked at Li Yi, knowing that he was angry, and said: "Zizheng, this matter is not easy to deal with. You should protect yourself wisely, get out of this matter as soon as possible, and save yourself first."

Li Yi turned a deaf ear and asked: "What does the emperor think? Does the emperor really think that Momen is involved in the traitor?"

Lu Changfeng shook his head and said: "The Emperor has always been aware of this matter, but a group of officials are holding on to you, and the Emperor has no choice for the moment."

Having said this, Lu Changfeng paused slightly and suddenly said: "Zizheng, this matter is not that simple."

Li Yi looked up at Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng suddenly turned his head and looked at the Jin Yiwei in the courtyard.

These Jin Yiwei immediately understood and turned around to leave.

"You understand, this time the civil servants obviously deliberately framed you. I am afraid that Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was involved. That's why he caught people from Momen because they know that Momen has a good relationship with you. They can't do it.

The only thing that makes a fuss about you is the people around you. This kind of underhanded method is very handy for civil servants." Lu Changfeng said to Li Yi.

Li Yi stood up with anger on his face and said: "So that means that the emperor knows that this is a conspiracy of the civil servants, and all the ministers in the DPRK understand the cause of the matter?"

Lu Changfeng glanced at Li Yi sympathetically and nodded lightly.

Li Yidao: "Since everyone knows that this is a frame-up, should we regard the frame-up as fact? How can there be any justice in this way?"

"Zizheng, don't you understand? In order to achieve the goal, many things are not just at all. This is a battle between the emperor and the civil servants, and you are just a pawn now."

Li Yi looked at Lu Changfeng and said, "Are you saying that the reason why the civil servants framed me was actually against the emperor?"

Lu Changfeng nodded and said: "In the past six months, the emperor has supported his cronies and suppressed civil servants. Many officials have supported the emperor in government affairs for the sake of official career. However, the ministers headed by the Donglin Party are not willing to see this situation, so they have been restricting

Your Majesty, the officials promoted by the Emperor are either impeached or excluded, and many of the agreed national policies are not implemented. And as you have made great contributions and been promoted by the Emperor to the position of censor of Qiandu, the civil servants have noticed you, so this time they

The reason why I deliberately framed you, and even framed the people around you, is to fight against the emperor."

Li Yi knew that the Donglin Party was very powerful, but he did not expect it to be so powerful.

"Why did they do this?" Li Yi didn't understand.

Lu Changfeng seemed to be very afraid of this question, and did not answer, but said: "Zizheng, the emperor must be on your side in this matter. But Chen Hongyan and others did collude with Wang Zuokui, so you have to

If you want to save yourself, you must make a choice."

"Choice? What choice?" Li Yi looked at Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng shook his head and said, "You understand."

Li Yi smiled miserably and said: "Does the Emperor want me to abandon Chen Hongyan and stay out of it?"

Lu Changfeng raised his head and looked at the gloomy Li Yi, and sighed: "Those who achieve great things must know how to choose. Zizheng, you are now the censor of Qiandu, and you have the Holy Family with you. What kind of woman can't be found? Why bother?"

How about being framed by civil servants for Chen Hongyan?"

Li Yi stood up and said with an angry look on his face: "Brother Lu, if I could really stay out and give in, then I would have given in when Zhang Heng and Zhuomai framed An Xin."

Lu Changfeng said with a regretful expression: "But if you can't abandon Chen Hongyan and others, you will be implicated because of them. Not only will Chen Hongyan and others be beheaded for treason, but you will also lose your official position."

Li Yi said coldly: "Even so, I can't abandon Chen Hongyan."

Seeing Li Yiming's stubbornness, Lu Changfeng trembled with anger and shouted coldly: "You'd better think carefully and don't act impulsively, ruin your own future, and live up to the emperor's respect."

After saying that, Lu Changfeng left without looking back.

Looking at Lu Changfeng's back, Li Yi understood that he had no expectations this time.

The sky darkened, and Li Yi looked at the silent night sky, feeling very anxious.

Obviously, this time the civil servants teamed up to deal with him and framed the Mo family, and no one would vindicate Chen Hongyan.

Missing Hongyan, Li Yi's eyes became colder and colder. He understood that if he was just sitting there waiting to die, then once Hongyan and others were escorted to the capital, there would be only death waiting for them.

Looking at the Jin Yiwei next to him, Li Yi returned to the house.

The next day, Mao Wenlong had just finished practicing boxing and shouted: "Little boy Li, little boy Li?"

Li Yi climbed up the wall, looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "Shuai Mao, what's wrong?"

Mao Wenlong looked at Li Yi and laughed and said: "Yesterday I saw a senior official of the Jinyiwei coming to see you. I thought you, a turtle like you, had been let go, but you didn't expect that you are still squatting here."

Li Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Shuai Mao, why do you have to make fun of the juniors like this every time."

Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Who made you, a boy so uneasy and kind-hearted? I entertained you so much when I was in Dongjiang Town, but you repaid me with kindness and teamed up with that bastard Yuan Chonghuan to deal with me."

Li Yi looked at Mao Wenlong, who had gray hair but was full of energy, and said: "Mao Shuai, what things did you do in Dongjiang, which one is not a capital crime of beheading? If we could have found our way back, Governor Yuan and I would not have done it.

Take risks out of desperation.”

Mao Wenlong was furious when he heard this and said, "If you say so, I am wrong."

Li Yi also said coldly: "Shuai Mao, if it's right, why do you need to carry him in the prison?"

The two men continued to quarrel and became more and more fierce. Li Yi suddenly jumped off the wall and punched Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong didn't expect that Li Yi was really angry. He shouted in shock and punched Li Yi.

Li Yi pointed his toes to the ground and flew over Mao Wenlong's head as nimbly as a bird. When Mao Wenlong noticed it and turned around, Li Yi's right hand was right on his chest, hitting Mao Wenlong back step by step.

Only then did the Jin Yiwei next to them react, and they quickly stood between Li Yi and Mao Wenlong, and shouted coldly: "Everyone stop."

Li Yi stopped, still staring at Mao Wenlong angrily, and said: "Shuai Mao, I know your crime very well, and it is not allowed by the national law."
