Chapter 205 Obey the Law

He became more and more entangled in his heart. Could it be that he could see people's hearts as he said?
There was a storm in his heart, but in the end the desire to survive overcame the entanglement in his heart. He was still young and didn't want to die, so he could only grit his teeth and swear: "I, Zhang Pengju, swear that everything I said today is true. Lies will lead to a bad death, the Nine Clans..."

"Uncle Pengju, don't, don't swear!! You just admit it, don't implicate us, we are still young, we haven't done anything wrong, His Royal Highness is magnanimous, he will let us go, and we can too Open branches and leaves for my Zhang family!"

"Pengju, don't swear, one person does something and one person is responsible, you can't make fun of the whole clan!"

"Pengju, the Zhang family's century-old foundation must not be ruined!"

Looking at the tribesmen around him, Zhang Pengju suddenly felt weak, and the hand holding the mirror started to tremble.

He gritted his teeth, but in the end he still didn't say the words "the extinction of the nine races".

Finally, he sighed and looked at Li Chengqian: "Forget it, just kill me. I admit all those sins!"

"Hehe, are you sure you don't want to try it? What if what I said in the Palace is to bluff you?" Li Chengqian squinted his eyes with a smile, and said casually.

"So, I admit it too. Your Highness the Crown Prince really deserves to be His Highness the Crown Prince. I'm convinced! Somebody, take me to jail!"

He stood up holding the mirror, handed it to Li Chengqian, waved to the guard in front, and stretched out his hand.

Seeing him so self-conscious, several guards were a little surprised. They looked at Li Chengqian beside them, and when they saw him nodding, they put the shackles on him and took him to the prison.

"Next one, Zhang Pengyu, what about you? Do you want to swear?" Li Chengqian asked a young man below while holding the list.

"Hehe, my elder brother went in. What am I doing outside? I also went in. Anyway, I participated in everything my elder brother did. Execution is enough!"

Zhang Pengyu smiled open-mindedly, and turned his head: "Everyone, what have you done, let's not delay the time of His Royal Highness, let's go in together!"

"Haha, that's fine. I've lived with you for so long and haven't been to prison yet. Let's go and take a look today!"

An old man stood up, laughed and walked towards the cell.

"Wait a minute, your name is Zhang Jiang, right?"

Li Chengqian looked at the old man who was about to enter the cell, and stopped him, "No one sued you, you can stay here now!"

"His Royal Highness is joking, five of my brothers have been sued, why no one sued me, is it because I look down on the old man?"

Zhang Jiang glanced at Li Chengqian dissatisfied, and then begged: "Your Highness, I am the head of the Zhang family. If you have any problems, come to me directly. But those clan members who have not made any mistakes hope that Your Highness will be true to his words and let them go." , they are still young..."

Li Chengqian nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I will let those clansmen go. Why don't you stay and be a witness?"

"Old patriarch, you'd better not go, you haven't done anything wrong these years, our family still needs you!"

"Yes, second brother, the family still needs to rely on you, otherwise these boys will not be swallowed up!"

"Second brother, let's go brother, this family depends on you!"

"........."

A group of Zhang family members looked at Zhang Jiang with some sadness and helplessness, and followed the guards into the prison.

Li Chengqian glanced at the remaining two-thirds of the Zhang family, and asked outside: "But there are still people who want to sue the Zhang family members. If not, these people will be released!"

Li Chengqian waited for a while, saw that no one came in, nodded, and said to the guards: "Separate the people in the prison, those who are not guilty enough to be beheaded will be detained according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and those who have committed too many crimes will be beheaded tomorrow." .”

After explaining, he sat back in the lobby, looked at Li Gang who was standing, grinned, and asked with a smile: "Master Li, can you admit it?"

"The officer admitted it!"

Li Gang sighed bitterly at the corner of his mouth, and knelt down directly: "I know that the crime is serious, I beg Your Highness to punish me!"

"Punishment? No need, let's execute the sentence with the Zhang family tomorrow!"

Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked someone to take him down.

As for the remaining Zhang family members, Li Chengqian just glanced at them and said to Zhang Jiang: "Mr. Zhang, your Zhang family has been confiscated and the money has been confiscated to the treasury. As for the Zhang family compound, I can make the decision." , I will give you a place to live, and you must abide by the law in your future actions!"

"I will obey the teachings of His Highness the Crown Prince. I will abide by the rules and laws from now on, and I will not dare to overstep my bounds!"

Zhang Jiang cupped his hands, smiled at Li Chengqian, and then asked: "Your Highness, can I leave now?"

"Well, you can go, but if someone else accuses your tribe, you need to come to the government office to confront him at any time!" Li Chengqian nodded and said.

"That's natural. If His Royal Highness needs to confront him, I will definitely obey!"

Zhang Jiang smiled at him and led the Zhang family members to leave the government office in despair.

Looking at his back, Li Chengqian felt a little sad.

When he was first arrested, he was full of energy, cursed and arrogant.Now I leave, with tears in my eyes, silence, and my tail between my legs.

Speaking of which, if they weren't so public, they wouldn't have caught so many people at once.

"Okay, this matter is over, since you have no grievances, then this is the end of today!"

Li Chengqian looked outside the government office, but he really didn't want to deal with this anymore.

Originally, I left Chang'an just because I wanted to be lazy, and I was going to travel in the mountains and rivers, singing the wind and enjoying the moon, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape the exhaustion.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly. Seeing that no one answered him, he took Ling'er and the two girls and left the government office.

"Ling'er, Su Su, how do you feel? Are you tired?"

Sitting in front of a booth with the two girls, Li Chengqian asked them while drinking the Du Hu spicy soup on the table.

"Your Highness, we are not tired, but you are probably exhausted these days!" Ling'er wiped his sweat sensibly and said in a soft voice.

"We are still closer to Chang'an now. Let's go directly to Jiangnan tomorrow, so that no one can find us. Have fun for a few days. What do you think?"

Li Chengqian looked at them with a smile, hugged them in his arms, and fed them some soup.

Drinking the Hu spicy soup in their mouths, the two women felt a little embarrassed.

Su Su twisted in his arms and said with a red face: "Your Highness, in this public place, please let go!"

"What happened to the public? We are not allowed to make out!"

Li Chengqian shook his head, and with his mouth full of spicy soup, he didn't forget to kiss her on the face, making it all over her face.

Looking at Su Su who was drooling, Linger laughed and joked: "Hee hee, Sister Su Su's face is full of saliva, how embarrassing!"

"Look at you, after taking a sip, you still have the nerve to laugh at me!"

Su Su rolled her eyes at Ling'er, and couldn't help but scratched at her body.

"Is Ling'er envious of Su Su? Come on, I'll kiss you too!"
