Chapter 860: Reinforcements Arrived!

a year old, and everyone in the family watched her come out of her mother's womb. There was nothing suspicious about it no matter how you looked into it.She tried hard to climb onto the kang, but her...And when the wealthy and powerful were pulling strings behind the scenes, they didn't even care about these people.

Don't be fooled by how polite the Li family is to them, sending them food and money.

They were asking for their help in taking care of Lee Jia-yi.

If something were to happen to Lee Kai-yi, they would be the first to be hated by the Lee family...

Soon, Fu Guier was hanged.

The jailer, in front of the magistrate and Li Laoer, used all his might to torment Fuzhi, causing him to writhe in pain. Finally, he confessed everything clearly.

His distant cousin gave him fifty taels of silver, asking him to arrange for the thief to be put in Li Jia yi's cell.

He thought this was nothing difficult, and his cousin said that only someone wanted to teach Li Jia-yi a lesson, it wouldn't be a big deal.

He was greedy for money at the time, so he agreed.

He never expected the other party to be so dishonest, actually wanting Li Jia-yi's life!

Then the thief was also hanged, repeating the "treatment" that Fu Gui had enjoyed.

The thief, howling like a wolf and weeping like a ghost, spilled everything. Not a single detail was left out.

His mother and son were both seriously ill at home. When he went out to steal, he was caught by someone.

He was threatened and bribed, so he took the job of killing.

Whether things work out or not, his mother and son will be taken care of and properly housed.

He even went to see it.

My mother and son moved into a small courtyard in the north of the city. There were also two elderly servants attending to them, and a doctor came to prescribe medicine. He smelled the medicine for half an afternoon before being taken to the prison cell...

Of course, there was a condition: after killing Li Jia-yi, he couldn't live...

Even ants strive to survive, let alone humans.

When he was kicked by Lao Huang against the wall, he should have gritted his teeth and used poison, but deep down, he still had a sliver of hope, thinking that he could escape with his life.

As a result, things turned out badly and I considered suicide. But Lao Huang pulled me back from the brink...

The magistrate was swift to act, finding out the location of the courtyard in the north part of the city and the name of his wealthy cousin. He immediately sent people to arrest them.

In less than half an hour, the message was sent back.

The distant cousin of the wealthy young master was killed, and even the thief's mother and son were dead. As for the so-called old servant, he had vanished without a trace...

Both the rich boy and the thief had fainted.

The former was frightened, the latter was filled with regret and heartache.

Li La Er didn't expect the Metropolitan Magistrate to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. The reason he made such a big fuss was to let the entire court, even the new capital, know about this matter.

Thus, many people would feel that Li's family, having accused six individuals in court once, was not being aggressive but rather was forced to do so.

Even in the yamen, Li Jiayi was targeted. That vast expanse of broken gold, who knows how many times it had been in danger!

Although the magistrate wasn't worried about the Li family being angry with him, he wasn't happy that someone behind the scenes was scheming against the Li family and dragging him into it.

So, he promised to enter the palace after dawn and report the matter to the Emperor. He would do everything in his power to capture the audacious person behind this!

Li La Er softened his face, thanked him, and then instructed Jia Yi, "Be more vigilant, don't think that because this place isn't a prison and no flies can get in, you can relax! Even copper walls and iron bars can't withstand someone who eats inside and steals outside!"

All the jailers were blushing and looking down, their faces lost!

Li Lao Er came out of the county jail and asked Zheng He, "By my reckoning, the Hailan Army should be here by now, right"

"Master, rest assured, I will arrive tomorrow morning." Zheng He replied.

Li La Er nodded, “Let’s go, back to the Earl's Mansion. Tomorrow we still have a tough battle to fight. Once we get Jia Yi this rascal out of jail, we can rest easy.”

The carriage was back on the road, and in the night, the sound of hooves was particularly clear...

The winter wind on the river, blowing against your face like a knife, hurts so much that you want to pull your neck in.

But twenty li south of the Xin Du Wharf, a fleet of large ships was riding the wind and waves.

A circle of soldiers stood on the deck, each in full armor and helmet, holding long spears, heads held high and chests puffed out, looking imposing.

A veteran general stood at the bow of the ship, he was the mainstay of the Hailan Army, General Tang.

This time, they entered the capital to offer captives, which was originally a great achievement, a proper happy event.

But the previous message he received kept his heart on edge, making him wish to travel day and night.

Xindu Wharf has always been bustling and crowded.

But the Haelan navy's fleet needed to dock, and all merchant ships willingly gave way.

Before the lead ship had even come to a full stop, or even lowered its gangplank, Liu Yang scrambled aboard using only his hands.

Upon seeing General Tang, he immediately knelt on one knee and exclaimed, "General, you have arrived!"

General Tang quickly helped Liu Yang up. He had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard under his eyes, clearly suffering greatly these past days. He urged him, "Quickly tell me what happened so I can enter the palace."

Liu Yang didn't hesitate, and told him everything clearly and in detail.

General Tang listened, his face growing darker and darker. Finally, he roared, "What nonsense! Has Li Jia Yi gone mad "

"It took three years to defeat the Japanese pirates and accumulate that much military merit. He just said no, he didn't want it!"

"I thought he had made some progress, but he's still the same greenhorn who just joined the Hai Lan Army!"

Liu Yang chuckled wryly, prompting General Tang to scold him again, "Aren't you and Li Jiayi good friends who grew up together wearing the same trousers When he wants to do foolish things, don't you stop him at all!"

Liu Yang felt wronged, he had been scolded by his parents for this countless times.

"General, Jia Yi's temper and strength are simply beyond my ability to persuade! Besides, Uncle Li Si and the Marquis have returned with the Northern Expeditionary Army. Uncle Li Si has made great achievements, and the imperial court's rewards will be coming down soon..."

General Tang understood the subtext and couldn't help but sigh along with him.

"This kid Jia Yi is truly living up to his name." He waved his hand. "No need for more words, things are as they are, let's just solve this."

"Come on, let's go into the city and try to get that Jia Yi boy out. We can't let him rot in jail, he's far too talented for that."

It's better for him to hurry back to Quanzhou and go kill the Japanese pirates!

Liu Yang nodded hurriedly, remembering the danger of last night. As he walked, he told General Tang about it again.

General Tang, upon hearing this, was furious.

His trusted general, didn't die at the hands of the Japanese pirates, almost being plotted against and dying in prison, how could this be!

He immediately spurred his horse to gallop to the palace...

In Suijin Beach, last night Jia Yi was almost murdered in jail. This news hasn't reached the Li family yet.

But when Li Laotai woke up that morning, she felt something was wrong.

Her right eyelid twitched incessantly. Picking up her sewing basket made her feel agitated, and putting it down to go for a walk only left her feeling irritated by the cold wind. She furrowed her brow and never let it relax.

It so happened that today was the birthday of Liu Fu's mother, so Tao Hongying, Zhao Yuru, and Wen's wife all went into the city.

Bai Yun helped bake a five-layer cake, which the family chef had sent over yesterday. Today, she is in charge of preparing the banquet.

Wan'er was kind-hearted. She held her son and soothed the old woman for a while, but she was still uneasy. So she sent someone out to find her younger sister as quickly as possible....ssly and often left him to clean up the mess, he felt quite fed up.If they truly can't stand living in Kyoto anymore and leave, that would be for the best! At least he'd have some peace and quiet.Thin...
