Cheng Chubi shivered when he saw Li Yanran staring at him, and explained with a playful smile.

"Self-protection? I asked you to hold Li Hong down, but I didn't ask you to kill him. Why do you want to protect yourself?"

Li Yanran was also going to be laughed out of anger. To protect yourself? You guys are just trying to protect yourself.

He's just a little Li Hong, so why should he be so afraid?

"Brother Li, have you forgotten that the last time the prince went to our father to complain, he was almost beaten to death? I was really scared."

Li Siwen looked bitter. The lesson his father gave him last time was still fresh in his mind. He really didn't dare to offend Li Hong.

This guy is so ruthless, he's the best at it.

They are fried so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside that they are ready to be served.

Li Yanran was also speechless, but she had forgotten that Li Hong still had the potential of Lao Liu.

"Next time you dare to do this, I don't need Li Hong to complain. I'll beat you to a death worse than death."

"Natural, natural."

How many people nodded quickly, next time?

Let’s talk about it next time, after all, you may be trying to scare people by saying you’ll hit me, but my dad actually does it with real swords and guns.

"Li Siwen, first check out the situation of military households around the town."

"???"

Li Siwen was stunned, wondering what kind of trouble Li Yanran was going to make.

These military households were all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. Without them, who sacrificed their lives, the Tang Dynasty would not be as prosperous as it is now.

If you touch them, you will incur public outrage.

"Brother Li, what do you want to do? These military households are not easy to mess with."

"What are you thinking about? I want you to count how many orphans and widows there are like Ma Li, and how many families are hungry, and arrange some errands for them."

Li Yanran glared at Li Siwen, "You must have thought too badly of me."

How could I possibly take action against those military households? I was really confused.

"Oh oh oh, I'll do it right away."

Hearing that Li Yanran meant this, Li Siwen also felt happy in his eyes.

Although the pensions in the Tang Dynasty were quite large, after layers of deductions, not much of them actually fell into the hands of the widows of military households. There were still many cases like the Ma Li family who had no news of their life or death.

If Li Yanran can do this, he must first give a thumbs up to Brother Li, not to mention others.

A few days passed by, and Ma Li took her son to the small town to help in the kitchen, while Ma Hou became Li Hong's little follower.

She followed him all the time, making Li Hong feel like he was floating when he walked.

With Li Yanran's tacit approval, Li Siwen also officially promoted Sun Hu to the second-in-command position in the prisoner camp, with more than 2,000 prisoners from Wugong County in charge.

"The fight started, the fight started."

A forbidden soldier ran in and shouted at Li Yanran.

"???"

Li Yanran's first reaction was that Li Hong was fighting with others again?

But thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. I just received a beating and my skin is itchy again.

"Your Highness, the prisoners are fighting."

Seeing the unkind looks from several people, the Imperial Guard also shuddered and quickly explained the matter completely.

"Damn, they're a bunch of cheap bastards. They're still not stable here. I won't give them a hundred lashes."

When he heard that the prisoners were fighting, Cheng Chubi immediately became angry.

He didn't expect that these prisoners, who were fine before, would suddenly start fighting now.

"Wait, let's go and check the situation first."

Li Yanran frowned, there was something evil about this matter.

"yes."

Several people also protected Li Yanran and rushed directly towards the construction site with nearly a thousand forbidden troops.

Rushing to the construction site in a hurry, they saw thousands of people fighting together, with more than 200 forbidden troops standing nearby and not daring to intervene.

After all, in a large-scale melee involving four to five thousand people, their small number of people really are of little use.

"Cheng Chubi, hurry up and stop them."

Looking at the battle in front of her, Li Yanran was a little doubtful about life.

The fight was so turbulent that it didn't look like it collapsed at the first touch.

If he had this momentum when he started the war with him, even the Forbidden Army probably wouldn't be able to resist it.

"Stop it all."

Cheng Chubi stood on a high ground and shouted loudly to the melee crowd below.

But... facing a battlefield with thousands of people, even if Cheng Chubi's voice sounded like a bell, it would be of no avail.

Because no one cares about you at all.

"Forbidden troops are dispatched. Anyone who dares to resist will be beaten to death by me."

Li Yanran glanced at Cheng Chubi, who looked depressed, and directly ordered the imperial troops to enter.

More than a thousand forbidden troops came out one after another, lined up and bombarded the prisoners who were fighting.

With the strong suppression of the Forbidden Army, the prisoners who were still fighting fiercely suddenly became frightened and knelt on the ground one by one, daring not to move.

"Call Wei Shan and Sun Hu over to me."

Li Yanran was depressed. She really didn't know that these people were full and fighting here instead of working.

The dog beeped.

Soon, Wei Shan and Sun Hu, both with dark eyes, were limping to Li Yanran.

"Grandma, are you looking for me?"

"Drag me down first and give you a good beating."

Li Yanran was devastated. This guy was really cheap. Her scalp went numb. He wouldn't know how powerful he was unless he beat him up.

"Don't fight, don't fight, Your Highness, don't fight."

Sun Hu shivered and quickly begged for mercy.

Cheng Chubi punched him with one punch. No matter how you begged for mercy, just hit him first and then talk about it. It would save you a while before the trouble comes out.

"Okay, Wei Shan, why are you fighting?"

Li Yanran glanced at Cheng Chubi depressedly, then stared at Wei Shan and asked.

"Your Highness, it's all Sun Hu's fault. He was the one responsible for this."

Wei Shan covered his dark blue eyes and glanced at Sun Hu fiercely.

"Your Highness, the frame-up was all done by Boss Wei Shan. He is unfair."

After hearing Wei Shan's complaint, Sun Hu immediately quit and hurriedly defended himself.

"Why am I being unfair? It's obviously you who started the trouble."

Wei Shan was depressed. If he was given a knife now, he would give it to this guy without hesitation.

"I didn't. It's obviously your distribution that's unfair. Why are our brothers doing all the rough and heavy work? Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

"???"

Li Yanran was confused when she looked at the two of them, not knowing what they were arguing about.

"What's going on, Li Siwen?"

Although she didn't know, she believed Li Siwen would understand.

"Brother Li, they may mean that all the heavy work of transporting stones will be assigned to the prisoners in Wugong County, while the local prisoners in Lishan will only be responsible for the relatively light work, right?"

Li Siwen frowned, looked at the two of them, and expressed his understanding.

"Grandpa Li is still smart. That's the reason. We are all prisoners. There is no distinction between high and low. Why should we eat the same food but do different jobs?"

Li Siwen rolled his eyes at Sun Hu. He really couldn't accept this title. Seeing Cheng Chubi and Yuchi Huan snickering, he felt depressed.

"Wei Shan, tell me why you arranged it like this?"

Li Yanran frowned and looked at Wei Shan, wondering why he arranged it like this.

"Your Highness, there is a reason why I arranged this. After all, the people under me have been working for a long time and they are all skilled workers.
