I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Haha, if you really dare to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why bother talking to me again?"

There was no trace of panic or fear on Li Wenjian's angry face.

"Shut up!"

Li Yang was obviously enraged. He slowly approached Li Wenjian's forehead with the dagger in his hand and said coldly, "Brother, have you forgotten how you got this wound on your forehead? It's a pity that I couldn't kill you a few years ago!"

From Li Yang's words, we learned that the two brothers seemed to have a complicated past.

"As long as I die, the list and the secret letter will be delivered to someone. Since I have the courage to return to Yecheng, it is enough to prove that I am ready to die!"

Li Wenjian's words were extremely firm, without any sign of retreat.

When Li Yang heard these words, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Li Wenjian's body had been searched not long ago, but the thing that Li Yang wanted could not be found at all.

If Li Wenjian really presented evidence that Li Yang bribed court officials, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the latter.

You know, the current emperor hates evil and hates wickedness. The reason why he hasn't taken any action against the Li family yet is because there is no convincing evidence. If the secret letter falls into the hands of the emperor, Li Yang will definitely die!

"Hand over that thing, or I'll blow a hole in your brain!"

Li Yang was obviously furious and could not control himself. He directly stabbed the dagger into Li Wenjian's forehead, but the force was not strong, and he just slashed downwards.

Blood was flowing from Li Wenjian's forehead, and there was another scar.

But at this moment, Li Wenjian still clenched his teeth, without showing any pain, and would not beg for mercy from Li Yang.

Li Yang had already gone mad at this point, and he showed no mercy even when facing his own biological brother.

He is really capable of killing his brother with his own hands.

Li Wenjian also knew his crazy brother very well. Ever since Li Yang became the boss, his behavior became more and more violent. When he learned that Li Wenjian was going to report him, he sent assassins many times in an attempt to take Li Wenjian's life.

If Li Wenjian had not been so lucky, he would have turned into ashes and buried in the earth today.

"Say!"

Li Yang roared helplessly again, and the force in his hand increased, and the blade almost hurt Li Wenjian's eyes.

Li Wenjian's body was shaking, and he said in a low voice, "You won't be so proud for long. The governor-general sent by the court is now in Yecheng. He will soon know your crime!"

"Governor-General? The one with Jiang Zuo?"

Hearing this, Li Yang suddenly burst into strange cold laughter.

"My dear brother, haven't you heard? The so-called governor-general has already been assassinated by me... and is dead!"

The blood on Li Wenjian's forehead flowed down his eye sockets, and there was a hint of shock on his painful face.

"You beast! You are really crazy. You even dare to kill an official appointed by the imperial court! You will definitely not have a good end!"

Li Wenjian cursed angrily.

Hearing the scolding from his former good brother, Li Yang was not nervous or afraid at all. He did not even deny what he said. He just said coldly, "He is just a governor-general. No one can stop me from killing anyone. This is the Jiangnan family!"

Li Yang became more and more excited. He pulled out his knife and waved it in front of Li Wenjian.

"Including you, my good brother. Even if you kill me, I won't feel the slightest bit of guilt."

Li Yang's words were extremely gloomy, like a possessed madman.

"Then go ahead and do it. Once I die, the spies outside the city will take action."

Li Wenjian was ready to die.

"After all these years, you still haven't succeeded in bringing a lawsuit against me. Do you think I'm still afraid of you?"

Li Yang sneered instead.

Li Wenjian challenged him, "You useless bastard, why don't you do anything?"

Li Yang gritted his teeth, held the dagger, and was about to stab Li Wenjian's eyes.

"Wait a minute..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

This voice was so familiar to Li Yang.

He was stunned for a moment, stopped what he was doing, and turned to look.

After the footsteps, Li Yang saw a person who was extremely shocking.

Jiangzuo!

Li Yang was startled and the dagger in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Zuo is not dead!

Not only did he not die, but he seemed particularly energetic.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo, followed only by Ma Hengwei and the other three Thousand Cavalry Officers, walked into the lobby at a slow pace.

"How is it possible that you are not dead..." Li Yang was frightened and took several steps back.

Jiang Zuo walked in with a calm expression and said, "Boss Li, why are you holding a knife?"

"I was actually deceived by you, a dog official!"

Li Yang suddenly became furious.

In the past few days, there have been frequent reports in Yecheng that Jiang Zuo was seriously injured or even dead. Now, in Li Yang's opinion, Jiang Zuo is not only not injured, but also full of energy. He doesn't look like a person who has just recovered from an injury.

Jiang Zuo's handsome face was full of vigor and spirit. He covered his shoulder and said, "Laughing at you? You bastard, you actually sent someone to assassinate me. You are so bold that you made me suffer for so many days. Now you are murdering an official appointed by the court. You can't escape the death penalty."

When Jiang Zuo was speaking, Ma Hengwei had already stepped forward, untied Li Wenjian who was kneeling on the ground, bandaged his wound simply, and protected him behind him.

At this moment, Li Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "I sent someone to assassinate you. What evidence do you have?"

Ma Hengwei's eyes were sharp as he refuted: "We were outside just now and heard it clearly. What, do you still want to defend yourself?"

Li Yang was speechless.

Jiang Zuo was only a few steps away from Li Yang, and he heard Jiang Zuo say, "Even if we don't have any other evidence, we can kill you just based on your crime of assassinating me!"

Li Yang's body was trembling slightly, and he was already feeling waves of fear in his heart.

Jiang Zuo is a very scheming person!

In order to fool Li Yang, he was able to pretend for so long.

Li Yang tightly grasped the dagger in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ma Hengwei noticed the change in Li Yang's eyes and quickly stood in front of Jiang Zuo to prevent any accidents.

At this moment, Ma Hengwei had no other feelings in his heart except admiration for Jiang Zuo.

When Ma Hengwei found out that Jiang Zuo was actually not seriously injured, he couldn't believe it. In order to deceive Li Yang, Jiang Zuo even kept the entire people of Yecheng in the dark.

"Okay, if you want to kill me, you can do it with just a few of you!"

Li Yang said angrily, then clapped his hands and shouted, "Someone come!"

A moment later, dozens of killers armed with swords appeared inside and outside the lobby.

They were all desperate criminals recruited by Li Yang from the underworld. Their skills were no less than those of the Thousand Cavalry Division. They had been maintained for a thousand days just for this moment.

"Since you insist on convicting me, let's see if you can get out of this Li Mansion!"

Li Yang shouted loudly.

"Do it!"
