Chapter 75 "Search thoroughly!"

  Li You Ran quietly stood up from the ground, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes before disappearing; still maintaining his gentle and elegant demeanor, he smiled humbly and said: "Sir's teachings are indeed correct, it was I who was rude. I hope Sir will not take offense."

  He smiled like that, looking at Jun Zhan Tian, his smile was very sincere, and he had a strong sense of shame, as if he was very embarrassed about his behavior just now.

  Jun Zhan Tian's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure. This kid, with just this composure, is absolutely not a simple character! He's probably a ruthless role who can kill people in the dark! In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: If Mo Xie were still alive, this kid would probably be his greatest rival among the younger generation!

  He turned coldly and sneered, "The descendants of the Li family are indeed sinister." The Grand Master Lee Shang's beard was trembling with rage. The meaning of Jun Zhan Tian's words was enough to scold the ancestors of the Li family for eighteen generations!

  "Get out of the way and let him search! If no assassin is found, you old scoundrel, tomorrow in the Golden Palace, I'll have a good argument with you in front of His Majesty! Let's see if this old man still has such audacity!" Li Shang coldly waved his hand, turned around, sat under a flowering tree, closed his eyes, and remained motionless.

  "Search carefully! Don't let any place go unchecked! Don't miss a single clue!" Nearly a thousand soldiers behind him responded in unison, and they charged in with a fierce and ferocious momentum.

  In an instant, the entire Li family mansion fell into unprecedented chaos.

  A short distance from the Li family's mansion, a very ordinary sedan chair was parked, with four people standing at the four corners of the sedan chair, their faces expressionless. The curtain of the sedan chair was slightly lifted, and a pair of deep eyes were looking in this direction, listening carefully to the side. This person's thin face was slightly square, but his two eyebrows slanted upwards like two green dragons flying in the clouds, giving off an aura of majesty even when he didn't speak or move.

  He listened for a while, then slightly closed his eyes and muttered: "Jun Zhan Tian's confrontation with the Li family this time is somewhat excessive. The Li family naturally has many secrets related to their own safety that cannot be revealed, if they are exposed, the Li family will probably be finished. Jun Zhan Tian obviously does not want to easily give up, but now the empire also cannot do without the Li family." He seemed to have a slight headache and furrowed his brow, saying lightly: "Shadow, if there's anything unusual, you'll take care of this farce, okay?"

  Outside, there was not a single sound, but this person knew that his orders had been clearly accepted. He closed his eyes again, and his fingers lightly tapped on the small jade stone tea table beside him. His two eyebrows, like two green dragons, gradually furrowed together, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: Li Shang, this big grandson Li You Ran, was not a bad talent, but rather a very dangerous talent...

  The soldiers of the Jun Tian army searched all the way, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, making a loud noise everywhere. It seemed that these people were not here to search for assassins, but purely to cause trouble!

  Bang! A huge vase was smashed out, smashing into powder; the face of Taishi Li Shang twitched fiercely for a moment, that was one of the few in the world...

  Bang!

  Bang......

  The old master's face was cold, holding the whip and panting heavily, shouting: "Search me thoroughly!" Even at such a serious moment, the people behind him couldn't help but turn their heads to stifle a laugh. Can "thoroughly" be used to describe searching? The old master's wording is obviously very "unprofessional"!

  Seems like "smashing" is just about right! Smashing hard!

  "This old fellow is quite interesting! He's afraid others won't know he's intentionally causing trouble! Let's take a look for a moment longer!" The person in the sedan couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  With this sentence "hěn hěn de", the soldiers' "search" became more "forceful".

  Almost two thousand soldiers rushed into Li's house, just like they were attacking an enemy city during wartime. They smashed and crushed everything, even worse than a swarm of locusts passing through. The people in the Li family gathered in the courtyard, watching with hearts bleeding. But... it was all money.

  After a while, the person in the sedan chair slightly closed their eyes and said softly: "Nothing big should happen, let's head back." Then they put down the curtain, leaned against the soft seat, and rested with their eyes closed.

  It seems that old man has already understood his intentions, but he's just making a show of it in public. However, when it comes to the Li family's secrets, he doesn't dare to touch them at all. It looks like nothing big will happen here after all.

  I'd like to see which family in the capital dares to take sides so casually after this commotion. The person in the sedan smiled; a fight, must be controlled within a small scope, if it harms the country and its people, then today is a... warning!

  The sedan chair started moving, silently and quietly leaving. You stood still, unmoving like a mountain, but unintentionally turned your head to take a faint glance after the sedan chair had left.

  "Report to the General, no trace of the assassin has been found!" One by one, the soldiers came to report. Then from all sides, they came to report, all without finding any; Jun Zhan Tian was furious, shouting: "Could it be that the assassin flew up to heaven? Not at the Li's house? Let's go take a look at another house!" With a group of soldiers, he turned around and went out the door, mounting his horse with a loud rumbling sound, heading in the direction of the Meng's house.

  The people in Li's family looked at the courtyard which was like a beggar's nest and were so sad that they could hardly cry.

  Tai Shi Li clutched his waist and struggled to sit up from the ground, Li You Ran hastily came forward to support him. The two looked at each other, both seeing the anger and a hint of luck in each other's eyes.

  "Grandfather, those black-clad men from before, anyone with eyes can see that they were clearly under Jun Zhan Tian's command! Jun Zhan Tian is a thief shouting to catch thieves, falsely accusing others of crimes. This move is no different from rebellion. Since no assassins were found, Grandfather can severely impeach him at tomorrow's morning court along with the various officials."

  Li You Ran thought for a moment, then said: "Jun Tian is clearly showing some signs of madness, privately mobilizing troops and forcibly entering the homes of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, conducting a thorough search. Hehe, if we can use the Li family's wealth to bring down the Jun family, this deal is still worth doing. On the other hand, if Grandfather doesn't make any moves, I'm afraid he will be suspected of having a guilty conscience!"

  Li Shang furrowed his brow, let out a deep sigh, and said solemnly: "You Ran, you are gifted with exceptional intelligence, surpassing others in wisdom. In terms of strategy, you can always anticipate the enemy's moves. You can be considered the best among your peers, and Grandfather has always been pleased with you. However, there is still something lacking; for instance, politics. Your age is still a bit too young, and your vision needs to be broader!"

  "Politics?" Li You Ran was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't the great crime of rebelling against Heaven enough for Your Majesty to deal with your family?"

  "Is that enough? Not enough! Far from enough!" Li Shangfeng's white eyebrows twitched, and the expression of anger and helplessness he had just shown in front of Jun Zhan Tian was gone, replaced by endless old cunning. Obviously, his previous cowardice was all a disguise. "You still don't understand the weight of Jun Zhan Tian in the emperor's heart; I'll just mention one thing to you, the emperor's life has been saved at least six times or more by this old man. If Jun Zhan Tian had any intention of rebellion or even a hint of ambition back then, he would have already taken the throne! The imperial family may not have any close relatives, but they will never truly abandon those who are absolutely loyal to them, and that's why Jun's family can still dominate the three armies despite having no clear successor!"

  "Taking the recent events as an example, do you really think you can bring down Jun Zhan Tian? Li Shang sneered and laughed twice: "Do you really think Jun Zhan Tian is so brainless that he would offend our Li family to death? And do you think Jun Lao's actions just now have really offended us to the point of no return?"

  Li You Ran was indeed clever and immediately understood a lot. Her expression changed as she said, "Could it be..."
