Chapter 1434: Ask uncle to help me identify the person
On the street outside Xinglong Inn, there were groups of burly men in casual clothes with swords hanging on their waists, walking back and forth on the street.
When people passing by approached, the nearby big men would immediately step forward and stop them.
"The inn has been booked."
"If anything happens, please explain your purpose of coming."
The big man said in a deep and expressionless voice: "If nothing happens, please leave!"
"Even if I'm booked, I have to let someone stay in the hotel."
"I'm a regular customer here. I basically stay here for more than a dozen times every month..."
Before the people had finished speaking, the big man pulled out the saber from his waist.
When the people saw this, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away without saying a word.
Inside Xinglong Inn.
On each floor, three to five men gathered together, staring at the surroundings with electric eyes.
From time to time, walk back and forth to check the situation everywhere.
Those windows are even more important, and there is a straight man standing behind each window to guard them.
It can be said that Xinglong Inn has been strictly guarded inside and outside, and it is difficult for even a fly to fly in.
The third floor of Xinglong Inn.
The atmosphere here is in stark contrast to the atmosphere downstairs.
The corridor was empty, and only five guest rooms were occupied.
Of course, the only one who lives here and can put on such a posture is Li Chengqian.
Li Yu was also in the room where Li Chengqian lived.
Looking out the window, Li Yu said with a confused face: "Didn't you say you want to redress the injustice of the people? Why are you still putting on such a posture?"
"Don't Uncle Li know how many people want to kill me now?"
Li Chengqian slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "You don't have to risk your life to redress the injustice of the people."
"But you opened up this posture."
Li Yu frowned and said, "Even if the people have grievances, they won't dare to come in, right?"
"hehe."
"Then it depends on how much injustice they have suffered."
Li Chengqian chuckled and said: "Human, as long as you are forced to be anxious, , can do anything.”
Li Yu didn't quite understand what Li Chengqian was doing.
However, he also knew that Li Chengqian did this as a last resort.
Yesterday, in just one night, six or seven waves of assassins attacked the inn.
Although they were blocked by Fu Laoliu and others, this posture also allowed Li Yu to see the situation in Qinzhou clearly.
When he and Li Chengqian came here, they were just going through the motions and helping to scare people.
But now when I look at it, it’s not as simple as scaring people.
How bold does it take to assassinate the current prince?
But they just did it, and they did it more than once.
Even though he had gone through hundreds of battles since his debut, Li Yu could not calm down.
"The water in Qinzhou is really deep."
Li Yu said quietly: "No wonder His Majesty asked you to come over and take a look."
"Father didn't just ask me to come over and see the dangers in the world."
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said, "I still have to clean up this mess for him."
"But there is one thing my uncle is right about."
"The water in Qinzhou is very deep, at least much deeper than what we think."
"So, I am also curious..."
Li Chengqian rubbed his fingers and said, "I want to drain the water first, and then use a ruler to measure it inch by inch to see how deep it is."
Li Yu crossed his hands on his chest, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Then what do you need me to do?"
"Help me pump water."
Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Pumping water?"
Li Yu was confused: "What do you mean? Let me tie up the county magistrate for you?"
"If we want to kidnap him, where do we need Uncle Li to come over?"
If Li Chengqian really wants someone to die.
That's quite simple.
Not to mention his status as a prince, just saying that he is a young master is enough to scare anyone.
But what Li Chengqian wanted was not Zhang Naikuan's life.
Even in his opinion, Zhang Naikuan's life was as insignificant as an ant on the roadside.
What he really wants is a start.
A reason enough for Li Shimin to punish all the nobles.
Li Chengqian said slowly: "I just need Uncle Li to help me identify a few people."
"Recognize someone?"
Li Yu was even more confused.
However, before he could figure it out, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Your Highness, I have invited back all the people you want."
Fu Laoliu stood outside the door and said respectfully: "Should we bring them up or let them wait downstairs?"
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "Take them to the backyard, I'll be there right away."
"yes."
Fu Laoliu responded and then left.
At this time, Li Chengqian waved to Li Yu and said, "Come on, Uncle Li, let's go meet someone."
Wait for them to go downstairs and come to the backyard.
There was already a crowd of people kneeling in the open space in the backyard.
These people all looked to be in their twenties, with bruises and swollen faces. It was obvious that Fu Laoliu did not simply 'invite' them here.
But Li Chengqian didn't care that much.
He walked smoothly to the field and sat on the chair that Fu Laoliu brought specially.
After he sat firmly, Li Chengqian slowly said: "Uncle Li, look, do you know these people?"
Li Yu frowned and glanced at everyone's faces one by one.
He is in his forties this year and has been with Li Yuan for more than twenty years. He has almost never been to Qinzhou. How could he know these young people?
For a moment, Li Yu was a little confused.
He shook his head at Li Chengqian and said, "I don't know these young people."
"good Bar."
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand, and the rich man next to him put a notebook into Li Chengqian's hand.
Li Chengqian opened the book, looked down, and shouted to the crowd: "Whose name is Che Xinrong?"
A young man's body trembled suddenly and said: "I...I am."
"Che Xinrong."
"When I was fifteen, I was brought to court for beating my neighbor to death and was sentenced to exile two thousand miles northwest."
"When I was seventeen, I was sentenced to ten years in the army for raping a civilian girl and killing her whole family."
"When I was twenty-two years old, I committed a murder in the street and killed three people on the spot. I was sentenced to execution!"
Li Chengqian counted them one by one like a family treasure.
After he finished speaking, he looked down at Che Xinrong and said, "So many punishments have beenfallen you, why are you not dead yet?"
Che Xinrong was trembling and did not dare to speak.
At this time, Li Chengqian slowly turned around and looked at Li Yudao: "He is the only son of Che Yun, a military household."
Li Yu frowned and said suspiciously: "Che Yun? Che Yun from Yunzhou?"
Li Chengqian nodded.
Seeing this, Li Yu's expression changed drastically.
He didn't know anyone else, but he knew Che Yun.
When he led his army to war, Che Yun was his horse-drawing general, who was specially responsible for leading horses for him.
Li Yu looked at Che Xinrong and said angrily: "Nie Zhan! What have you done these years?"
Che Xinrong lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I... I acknowledge my sin, and please... please forgive me..."
"hehe."
Li Chengqian chuckled and continued: "Chen Zhengkuan!"
"I...I'm..."
Another young man answered.
Li Chengqian stopped talking this time and said directly to Li Yu beside him: "This is Chen Tian's son."
Li Yu also knew Chen Tian and was also his old brother.
It was also at this moment that Li Yu finally understood what Li Chengqian meant by recognizing someone.
It turns out that these people are all the sons of my old brothers...
