Chapter 370 Congratulations to Your Highness

Li Kang slowly looked up, looked at Li Yu, then looked at Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan, and then lowered his head and remained silent.

Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan are not fools, so naturally they can see that Li Kang has something to say, so it is not convenient for him to listen to him.

The two of them said to Li Yu: "Since my seventeenth brother has official duties to deal with, we will go back first!"

“No need!”

Li Yu waved his hands to the two of them, and then he looked at Li Kang and said with a deep face: "There are no outsiders here. What happened? Just tell me!"

Li Kang didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and he whispered: "Reply... to your highness, Mr. Li... was robbed..."

When he heard this, let alone Li Yu's change of color, even Ji Yanyan and Li Yuan were shocked.

Li Yuan asked subconsciously: "Who did it?"

After a moment of pause, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it the night before, the rebels who broke into the Wu Palace at night?"

Li Kang nodded and said, "It's very...it's very likely they are!"

Li Yu stood up, walked to Li Kang, and said in a deep voice: "I have obviously done a trick, and I have been in the dark all the way. Why can the thief still find Mr. Li?"

"This...I..."

Li Kang was also confused now, not knowing what was wrong.

He hesitated and stammered, unable to speak.

Li Yuzhen shouted, "Speak!"

Li Kang was so scared that he trembled. In his impression, His Highness rarely got such a big temper.

His body, which was kneeling on the ground, was trembling violently, and he said in a trembling voice: "According to the thief who was captured, the king... has their inner men in the palace, and his subordinates... he thought that this... this news must have been leaked from the inner men!"

"Tell me, who is that inner essay?

How did the insider know the news!”

Li Kang sweated like rain.

When His Highness assigned them tasks, there were not many people present.

In addition to Your Highness, myself, there are Mu Fei and Chu Zun.

Oh, by the way, there is also a lady Hua Mei, Miss Hua.

There are only a few people present, who will be the one who will reveal the news to the rebels?

If you haven’t done it before, it’s even more impossible for Your Highness to do it. Could it be Mu Fei and Chu Zun?

This is not impossible.

After all, Mu Fei and Chu Zun are both Xuanjia Iron Guards of the previous dynasty, and it is very likely that they will secretly collude with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

However, he has no evidence, so it is not easy to say such words.

"Who is the thief's insider? You don't know, how the news leaked out. You don't know, now, even where the thief and Mr. Li were robbed, you still don't know, what can you, the manager of the flying guard, tell me?"

Li Kang was shocked, and he quickly kowtowed forward and said anxiously: "Your Highness forgives your crimes! Please forgive me!"

"Come!"

With Li Yu's order, Jin Wu and two iron guards walked in from outside and intervened to salute, "Your Highness!"

"Drag Li Kang out and punish two hundred military sticks!"

Hearing this, Jinwu was grinning secretly.

Two hundred military sticks!

Wouldn't that kill the person?

Li Yuan hurriedly dissuaded: "Seventeenth brother, this time, we can't blame Li Kang for everything!"

Li Yu frowned and said, "Why are you blamed me?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said seriously: "There are internal thieves in the King of Wu's mansion. It can be said that all of them are at fault from top to bottom. Now there are mistakes, and it is really a bit unfair to ask Li Kang to bear it alone!"

Jinwu also knelt down quickly and said, "Your Highness, I... I am willing to bear the fault with Li Kang!"

His relationship with Li Kang was not very good.

However, he remembered that when Gao Tu slaughtered Shiju tribes and His Highness held accountable, Chen Fang took the initiative to stand up and take on all the responsibilities.

This incident also made Chen Jintian among the soldiers of the border army and gained great prestige.

After all, Li Kang is his nominal subordinate. Now His Highness wants to punish Li Kang. He is a superior, and there is no reason to stand aside and watch the show.

It can be said that Jinwu is now imitating Shenfang, following the example, and taking the initiative to help his subordinates take responsibility.

Li Kang didn't expect that King Zheng Li Yuan would plead for him, and he didn't expect that Jinwu would stand up and take responsibility with him.

His eyes were wet and red, and he kowtowed forward, his forehead was pressed to the ground, and he choked and made a sound.

Li Yu looked at the sixteenth brother, then looked at the golden crow, and waved his hand and said, "Two hundred military sticks are reduced by half, and one hundred military sticks are punished. Li Kang, are you convinced?"

Li Kang was shocked and said quickly: "I thank Your Highness Long for your kindness!"

Two hundred military sticks are enough to kill people.

And one hundred military sticks can still survive if they grit their teeth!

Jinwu said seriously: "Your Highness, I am willing to share a hundred military sticks with Li Kang!"

Li Yu glared at Jinwu fiercely and said angrily: "Okay! Since you want to get a stick, then you two will have fifty military sticks each!"

"Your Highness, I am willing to bear it alone!"

"No! Li Kang is a subordinate of me, and I should bear the punishment with Li Kang!"

Listening to Li Kang and Jin Wu both rushing to be punished, Li Yu was almost excited and was about to get angry. Ji Yanyan said lightly: "Seventeenth brother, if all the people in charge are going to lie on the bed to recuperate due to punishment, then who will investigate the rebels next?"

Her words stopped Li Yu.

He blinked his eyes and thought about it carefully, and felt that what the fifteenth princess said was very reasonable.

He waved to Jinwu and Li Kang and said, "You both should get up first! Write down the punishment first, and then find you and the two of you to settle it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank me only?"

"Thank you Princess Zheng! Thank you Your Highness Zheng!"

Li Yuan did not take credit, he smiled and said, "If the Seventeenth brother really wants to punish you, it will be useless for anyone to plead with him!"

Jinwu and Li Kang are both smart people, and they can be easily understood at a glance. They kowtowed to Li Yu again and thanked him.

Li Ye was robbed, and Li Yu looked in a bad mood. After having breakfast, he got up and went to the study.

There was another one sitting in the study, Lu Fang.

Seeing Li Yu's gloomy face and walking in from outside, Lu Fang stood up, bowed to Li Yu with a smile, and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness!"

Li Yu frowned and asked unhappily: "Li Ye was robbed, why are you happy?

Is the real person ridiculing me?"

Lu Fang was happy and asked back: "Li Ye was robbed and fell into the hands of the remaining members of the previous dynasty. Isn't this exactly the result that Your Highness wants?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Fang with a deep look.

Lu Fang said meaningfully: "Your Highness can not be the evil person who causes brothers to be in trouble and chaos in the world.

And this evil man should be done by the remnants of the previous dynasty!”

Li Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Fang. After a long time, he burst out laughing.

He walked to the couch, sat cross-legged, and said, "The real person thinks, is it too much for me to do this..."

Lu Fang sat down opposite Li Yu and said seriously: "Your Highness shouldn't have such a question!"

"oh?"

"Your Highness does this just to protect himself!"

Lu Fang said: "As the saying goes, it is better to act first, and then to act, and it will be too late if Your Highness doesn't take the initiative, and when the new king's sharp blade hits His Highness's neck, it will be too late."
Chapter completed!
