Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 299 The Question of the County Magistrate

However, Li Ke also understood one thing about this matter, that is, what was the Suzhou county magistrate worrying about? I'm afraid this was the matter. He guessed that the other party would not be able to think of a solution if he wanted to blow his head, so he was always worried.

Now that he is planning to settle it himself, there is no need for him to worry about it.

However, Li Ke felt that if he had the opportunity, he could ask the other party if they had investigated anything. There couldn't be no clues after such a long time.

If this is really the case, then the so-called thief is really quite powerful now.

When Zhao Hu heard that Li Ke promised to come and help him solve this matter tomorrow, he saluted very happily.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"It's okay, it's just a little effort."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he left here. Zhao Hu immediately sent him away. After watching Li Ke go away, Zhao Hu returned to the shipyard.

Li Ke went all the way back to the residence, and found that Chou Nuer and Xiang Ling had returned, and Xiang Ling had made dinner.

The two of them seemed to be waiting for him, Xiangling walked over immediately after seeing Li Ke coming back.

"Your Highness, you are back, is today going well?"

He also knew that Li Ke had gone to the shipyard, and he was probably tired, so he was a little concerned.

"Fortunately, there is actually nothing to do. A strange thing happened at that time, so I will not come back tomorrow because of that thing. You two don't have to wait for me."

Li Ke said.

"No way? Can I go with you?"

Xiangling felt that it was too boring to play here alone. Although he wanted to listen to those storytellers, he hoped to be with Li Ke. Together.

The character of the villagers is completely different from that of Chou Nuer. If Chou Nuer wants to say such a thing, I am afraid that he will struggle for a while, and think about whether he should say it or not.

In Xiangling's words, he just did what he thought.

"I'm afraid this won't work. There are some troubles in this incident. I'm worried that you will be in danger if you go. You should stay here honestly."

Of course Li Ke would not agree to his request. He still doesn't know who the other party is. Since he can easily control those soldiers, it may not be easy.

In case something happened, he couldn't guarantee their safety.

So Li Ke didn't plan to take anyone with him this time, but unfortunately Xiangling didn't care about those.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of danger, I will protect myself, and I will never cause you any trouble, or... tell me what's going on, how about I come and think of a way with you?"

Xiang Ling asked very innocently.

Li Ke didn't know what to say when he saw him like this. Maybe in the impression of the other party, this matter is not too difficult.

Chou Nuer could probably tell that Li Ke was worrying about something, but he very much agreed with Xiang Ling's opinion.

So he agreed.

"Your Highness, please take us with you. Maybe we can be of some help. No matter what the matter is, we will naturally protect ourselves first. What else can happen in a shipyard?"

Ugly Nuer's statement is more brilliant, he is actually beckoning at Li Ke, what happened.

He knew that Li Ke would not tell him easily, so he might as well use this method to test it out. If Li Ke didn't want to say it, just pretend that he didn't mention it.

If Li Ke was willing to tell him, he would naturally say so.

Li Ke thought about it carefully, and it seems to be the same reason. Regarding the matter of the shipyard, he himself has some opinions.

I also guessed part of the situation, but after all, it was just a guess and needed verification.

Why don't you just talk to the two of them, maybe the two of them have different opinions.

So Li Ke and I sat down.

"Since you want to know, let me tell you."

Next, Li Ke told them about the shipyard. After listening, the two of them nodded thoughtfully, and then remained silent for a while.

Li Ke knew that Chou Nuer was seriously thinking about how to deal with this matter, but he never thought that Xiang Ling was also thinking seriously.

He didn't expect Xiangling to come up with anything, so he waited for them to speak, while taking the snack beside him.

It's so late, he really hasn't eaten anything, big fish and meat, he doesn't even have much appetite now, so he just eats some snacks.

Seeing Li Ke's actions, the other two didn't say anything. Mainly, this matter was indeed a bit difficult, and it was really difficult for them.

Even with Ugly Nuer's resourcefulness, he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while. If it weren't for this, it wouldn't have caused the county magistrate of Suzhou such a headache.

Just when Chou Nuer and Xiang Ling were racking their brains to think about the situation of the shipyard, the county magistrate came over in person. Naturally, he came here for the day's work.

Yuanwai Su had already raised all the money at this time, and sent it directly to his county government office. He sent it over as soon as he got the money, and he didn't dare to delay for half a second.

Otherwise, if His Royal Highness the King of Shu gets angry, he will be irreparable. He felt that it would be dishonest to ask his subordinates to send it, so he came here himself.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

Li Ke didn't expect the county magistrate to come to him suddenly, so he had some doubts.

"What's the matter here, my lord?"

Hearing Li Ke say this, Chou Nu'er and Xiang Ling both raised their heads, and then saw the county magistrate. Chou Nu'er immediately explained.

"Today, Su Yuanwai spoke rudely to Xiangling. We argued with him, and finally got some compensation. I'm afraid that the adults are here to send the compensation?"

Chou Nuer's words were very euphemistic, the county magistrate nodded immediately upon seeing this.

"That's it. It's my fault for not being optimistic about our people. I have offended you so much. Please forgive me, His Royal Highness, this is 500 taels of silver."

The county magistrate came alone, so he naturally wouldn't bring any money, so he took a bank note, which was exactly 500 taels, and he could pick it up at any time.

Li Ke was still a little surprised when he heard the words. It was hard for him to imagine who offended Ugly Nuer and was tricked by him for 500 taels. problem.

So it's probably not particularly serious. Since the other party has already paid compensation, he doesn't intend to pursue it, so he nodded.

"I see. It's nothing. You can go back."

Li Ke nodded and said.

After hearing this, the county magistrate put down the banknote and planned to leave.

At this time, Li Ke realized the matter of the shipyard and planned to ask him. Since the other party has already come, why not take this opportunity to ask him clearly?
There will be no good chances in the future, so Li Ke asked immediately.
