Chapter 587: Picking a Fight <<<
Liu Sichun arrived at the front yard and saw a large group of people with weapons who had taken control of some servants and housekeepers from his household. His second brother, Liu Sidar, lay on the ground, being trampled by a young man in fine clothes and extraordinary bearing.
Looking at this young man stepping on Liu Sida's face, while Liu Sida lay on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, whimpering, Liu Sicun felt anger rising in his heart, but he held it back and didn't lash out.
Because she knew the identity of the young man before her, she couldn't afford to offend him.
King Zhao, Li Yinhu.
"Your Majesty, Zhao King has arrived. As a humble subject, I am unable to greet you from afar. Please forgive my shortcomings."
Liu Sichun came before Li Yinhǔ, bowed respectfully, and then said politely.
Li Yinhu's unskillful eyes glanced at Liu Sichun, and with a sneer, he said, "You are the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Sichun nodded calmly and replied, "My name is Liu Sichun. I am the head of the Liu family."
"Well said, who says women are inferior to men? The head of your Liu family is much better than this blind and useless waste."
Li Yinhǔ said, kicking Liu Sīdā on the toes, right at his nose. Suddenly, Liu Sīdā felt a sharp pain in his nose, his vision blurred, and he let out a scream as blood poured from his mouth and nose.
Liu Sichun saw this and immediately frowned.
"The woman's family has been in business for generations, honest and hardworking, never daring to do anything illegal. She doesn't know what could have caused King Zhao to make such a big fuss."
"If the Liu family has committed a crime, please have King Zhao reveal it. But please also give the Liu family a clear explanation."
Li Yinhu let out a cold snort and said to Dong'an, "You want clarity, right? Well, this king will give you some."
"Someone reported that your Liu family has colluded with the White Lotus Cult. I, Wang, am here today to investigate this matter!"

Li Yinhu's words shocked Liu Sichun, she immediately said seriously: "Your Highness is wise, the Liu family are just honest and ordinary businessmen, absolutely no connection with those heretics from the White Lotus Cult. This is slander!"
At the same time, Liu Sichun was thinking rapidly, wondering who wanted to frame him.
She could never have imagined that all of this was simply because Li Yinhǔ needed money.
Li Yinhu said in a cold voice, "Whether or not you have colluded, what you say doesn't count. This king will know after an investigation. Come here, thoroughly search the Liu family from top to bottom and see if there is any evidence of collusion with the White Lotus Cult."
Evidently, Li Yinhu had naturally arranged for people to prepare in advance.
He wants to see if the Liu family is going to cooperate. If they do, he'll take them away tonight. Tomorrow, if the Liu family shows their sincerity, then everything will be smoothed over.
If Ruo doesn't play by the rules, Li Yinhou wouldn't believe it. He isn't a big deal in court and even less so in the East Palace, living like a dog. How could he possibly cause trouble by messing with a small family like the Liu?
Li Yinhu gave an order, and the dozens of guards with swords immediately became restless.
"Wait!"
Liu Sichun immediately shouted: "My lord, you are a prince of noble birth. You move your hand to search the homes of ordinary people like us so easily. If this gets out, won't it damage your reputation?"
"Reputation?"
Li Yinhu was enraged by these words and sneered, "If I find conclusive evidence, it means I'm doing my utmost for the court. What are you, to dare stop me?"
"Search the Liu family's residence!"
This time, no one hesitated. A group of guards, like wolves, surged past the Liu family's resistance and directly charged into the backyard.
