Li Qi is here, and as for the purpose of his arrival, you can guess it without asking.

Sure enough, just as Li Zhu and Li Jie and his son were holding a banquet to entertain him, Li Qi first congratulated Li Jie on being named the son-in-law, and then slowly expressed his hope that Li Jie would go back to his house.

Hearing Li Qi's request, Li Zhu also looked at his son Li Jie. Although he didn't say it clearly, it could be seen from his eyes that he still hoped that Li Jie could go back.

Li Jie pondered for a moment but refused cruelly, "I'm going to blame Uncle Wu, even if I want to go back, I'm afraid I won't have time. Today, Your Majesty just ordered me and Duke Xin to inspect the coastal defense. I will set off the day after tomorrow. Time is extremely hasty. I have a lot of things to prepare for tomorrow, so I don't have time to go back at all!"

"Jie'er, you are leaving Beijing!" Li Zhu was shocked at first when he heard this, and then he showed a worried look. After all, Li Jie was so old that he had never left them.

"Dad, don't worry, if you trust Duke and I walk with you, there will definitely be no problem." Li Jie comforted quietly.

Although Li Qi felt that Li Jie's words were rude, he was weak-skinned and embarrassed to point them out, so he did not force them anymore. He just cared about the purpose of Li Jie's trip. When he learned that this time it was to solve the problem of Japanese pirates, Li Qi and Li Zhu also became worried again.

After dinner, Li Zhu and Li Jie sent Li Qi away. However, before leaving, Li Qi seemed to want to say something to Li Jie, but in the end he didn't speak. Finally, he sighed and got on the carriage.

Seeing Li Qi's carriage gradually fading away, Li Zhu suddenly sighed, and then said to Li Jie: "Jie'er, I know you have resentment towards your grandfather, but after all, blood is thicker than water. If possible, I still hope you can go back."

Li Jie was silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally took a long breath and said, "Let me talk about this matter when I come back!"

That night, Mrs. Li learned that Li Jie was going to travel far, and she burst into tears in her heart. Then she began to prepare luggage for Li Jie overnight. Although Li Jie repeatedly said that the temperature at the beach was higher than here, she still brought a lot of clothes for Li Jie.

The next morning, Li Zhu went to the Military Weapon Bureau early, and Li Jie didn't have to go to the palace, so he got up a little late. Just when he was preparing for breakfast, he didn't expect that Liu Yi rushed in in panic and shouted when he saw him: "The incident happened, the Jinyiwei started to arrest people!"

"What happened?" Li Jie was also shocked by Liu Yi.

"Hu... Hu Prison was restarted. Now the Jinyiwei arrested people everywhere, and many people have been implicated and arrested!" Liu Yi explained with a sweating profusely that the Hu Weiyong case was called Hu Prison because it was too wide and too many people were arrested. As long as people who have experienced that period of time, almost all of them were afraid of Hu Prison. Now this nightmare has come again.

"So fast!" Li Jie did not show any surprise when he heard this. After all, he had known for a long time that Zhu Yuanzhang would use the case of the Yu father and son to cause another bloody storm.

"Cousin, you have known about this for a long time?" Liu Yi asked even more surprised when he saw Li Jie's expression.

"I heard some rumors in advance. Let's get in the car and chat while walking!" Li Jie said as he drank the porridge for breakfast, then grabbed two more buns, greeted Mrs. Li and left in a hurry.

"Where are we going?" Liu Yi got on the carriage and asked.

"Go to your house, I'm leaving Beijing tomorrow, I need to say goodbye to my uncle!" Li Jie swallowed the buns a few times and said. Zhu Yuanzhang had already taken action. He was not in the capital, so he had to say hello to Liu Ying in advance. Some things need to be known to Liu Ying, first to prevent him from being caught in, second to ask him to help take care of the family.

"Where are you going?" Liu Yi asked surprised when he heard Li Jie's words.

Li Jie briefly explained what he was going to inspect the coast, and then asked about the current situation in the capital, and who had the Jinyiwei arrested?

Liu Yi also told what he knew. In fact, the Jinyiwei arrested people from last night. It was already midnight at that time. The Jinyiwei in the Fufu Division suddenly scattered out, smashed the door of some people and started arresting people. Until this morning, dozens of families had been arrested, implicated hundreds of people.

"Now the entire capital is shocked by it, and everyone is so scared that they dare not speak out. Look, there are many fewer people on the street now!" Liu Yi said at the end and opened the car window, pointing to the sparse pedestrians outside and said again.

Only then did Li Jie realize that most of the pedestrians on the street today were indeed fewer than half. At this time, the streets were already full, but now there were only three or two big cats and two big cats on the street. However, the street patrol constables were much faster, and occasionally they could see murderous Jinyiwei riding horses running on the street.

Looking at the desolate scene on the street, Li Jie couldn't help but gasp. He finally understood what the emperor's anger was. Lao Zhu's thought could make the whole country silent and everyone was in danger. But he even confronted him in person yesterday. It was really a big fortune to survive.

"Cousin, what else do you know? Will this matter involve us?" Liu Yi asked worriedly again at this time. Although his father is just Marquis Anle and never gets involved in the affairs of the court, under such a powerful force, no one dares to say that he is absolutely safe.

"Don't worry, my uncle should have been prepared. I'll give him a few more words, there should be no problem." Li Jie smiled and comforted. He has been preparing for this day since time traveling. Although he has experienced many twists and turns, he has achieved his goal in general.

When Liu Yi heard Li Jie say this, he felt much more relieved. When they came to the Yihui Marquis' Mansion, Liu Ying was indeed waiting for them. At that moment, Li Jie told Liu Ying some of the inside stories he knew and told him what he needed to pay attention to. With Liu Ying's intelligence, he immediately understood Li Jie's meaning.

At noon, Liu Ying held a banquet to see Li Jie off in advance. In the afternoon, Li Jie went to the Glass Workshop and Qianliyan Workshop again. Although there were officials in charge here, he also participated in a lot of things, so he also needed to explain it before leaving.

Finally, Li Jie came to the Military Weapon Bureau again, and there were some things that needed him to deal with on the gunpowder side. However, when Li Zhu learned that he was coming, he rushed over immediately. When Li Jie saw Li Zhu, he smiled bitterly and said, "Father, have you heard of it?"

"I don't think it's hard to do such a big thing. Now everyone in the city is in danger. Do you think this matter will involve your grandfather?" Li Zhu also showed a very worried expression at the end. No matter how bad Li Shanchang was to him, he still could not give up his flesh and blood affection.

"I don't know!" Li Jie was silent for a moment before answering. Obviously he was lying. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Shanchang should have been involved soon. To be precise, Li Shanchang jumped in by himself.

"Jie'er, I know you still have some complaints about your grandfather, but he is also your grandfather anyway, so if possible, I still hope you can help him!" Li Zhu also felt that Li Jie was not telling the truth, and immediately persuaded him with great sincerity.

"Father, I have done enough, but some things are not enough to rely on others alone. The key is to rely on his own choice!" Li Jie also defended himself helplessly. He had warned Li Shanchang to leave Beijing early, but he was delaying and refused to leave. Now, it's better, it's too late to leave.

"But..." Li Zhu seemed to want to defend his father, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. After all, what Li Jie said was the truth. If his father left Beijing early, how could he have to worry about what is happening now?

Looking at his father's painful expression, Li Jie felt a little reluctant. After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed, then walked to the desk and picked up the paper and pen, wrote a letter and put it in an envelope.

"Father, this is the last thing I can do for him!" Li Jie turned around and handed the letter to Li Zhu.

"That's great, I know you will definitely not sit idly by the way!" Li Zhu was immediately ecstatic and was about to open the letter after receiving it.

However, Li Jie reached out to stop him and said, "Father, this letter is not for you, but for grandfather, but you must agree to me two conditions!"

"You say! Don't talk about two conditions, even twenty conditions are fine!" Li Zhu nodded immediately after hearing this.

"First, you are not allowed to peek at this letter! Second, you have to wait until I leave tomorrow before you can hand it over to your grandfather. And you cannot hand it over to him personally, but to Uncle Wu, and then hand it over to him!" Li Jie's two conditions were also for Li Zhu, especially the second one. If Li Zhu personally delivers the letter, the consequences will be unpredictable.

"No problem, I'll write it down!" Li Zhu immediately put away the letter when he heard this. These two conditions were not difficult to achieve.

Li Jie also believed in his father's character very much. As long as he agreed, he would definitely do it, so he was relieved. Then he reminded Li Zhu to say something. Although he had asked Zhu Yuanzhang for a guarantee, the premise was that Li Zhu himself would not jump into the vortex.
