General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 343 Attack (1)

"You sent a man to my new home, wanting to ruin my wife's reputation and then my face. Do you think I would not know anything about you doing this right under my nose?" Li Hong laughed, "This is my villa, my territory, second brother, don't you think you are too arrogant?"

The officials nodded when they heard this. It was indeed unlikely that they had no idea about such a thing happening in their own territory.

The family members looked at each other and felt that Li Hong's words were more credible. After all, it was their territory. They must have noticed the Second Prince's actions and protected the bride away from the place of trouble in advance.

"Third brother, then why didn't you come in advance? Obviously my plan has succeeded, and you are just bluffing now." Li Guang didn't believe it and looked at Li Hong with a sneer, thinking that he was pretending.

"I underestimated your cruelty, second brother. You would actually use such a vicious and disgusting strategy. I think it was acceptable no matter how we fought before. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This has been the law since ancient times. But you spend your time on your family. This really makes people have no praise for your character! How can a person like you gain power and unify the country? Relying on this kind of strategy?" Li Hongyang asked loudly.

If the slap hit Li Guang hard on the face, all the officials and family members would look at the second prince with sarcasm and contempt.

What tricks they use in private are their own business, but when they are played out in public, it is a bit unbearable.

Furthermore, the crime will not extend to the family members. Even if it is the emperor, if an official does something wrong, only in serious cases may the nine clans of the official be executed. Generally, the official will only be exiled, and the woman can choose to divorce, so the family members will basically not be punished.

The second prince, however, directly targeted his family.

Everyone knows that now that the emperor has passed away, the four princes are fighting for the throne, and it is still uncertain who will be the emperor in the end. But how can someone like the second prince become the emperor?

"You!" Li Guang wanted to refute, but the looks everyone gave him made Li Guang instantly regret having said that just to provoke Li Hong.

This is digging a big hole for yourself.

The officials who came with Li Guang also silently stepped back and decided to choose a new prince. The second prince had already been regarded as a dark line in their hearts.

Officials in the court all want to gain honor and security for their families. Now the secret fight among the four princes has slowly surfaced, and everyone knows that they are competing for the throne.

It was unknown who the final winner would be until the very end, so officials chose a prince to rely on and place their bets on, hoping that the prince they chose would eventually succeed. They would then also gain a share of glory and have a place to stay for the rest of their lives.

They didn't know about the Second Prince's behavior, and even if they knew, they wouldn't care too much. After all, it was a secret fight between princes. But now it has been brought to the light, which makes people very concerned.

What if the Second Prince uses this trick against them in the future? What is the guilt of the family members?

"Hmph! Good at speaking and arguing." Li Guang said with a cold face, then turned around and thought about leaving.

Li Hong sneered. The housekeeper had already had people blocking the door and not letting Li Guang leave.

"Second brother, you thought that you wanted to touch my people in my territory, and now that your plan failed you want to leave. Would I let you leave so easily? We are all adults...can you not be so naive?" Li Hong looked at Li Guang with frost in his eyes.

"Can you still keep me here?" Li Guang frowned but still challenged him.

The officials looked at each other, then quietly left with their families, not getting involved in the dispute between the two princes.
