I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

This blow was heavier than the previous one, leaving five clearly visible slap marks on Kuroko's face.

However, Kuroko did not dodge. Although he was a little cautious this time, in order to make the other party calm down, Kuroko took it head-on.

The team members behind her were all glaring with anger when they saw this, but the girl from the Wang family didn't care at all.

Heizi was hit in the face several times in a row, causing his nose and mouth to bleed. The target wanted to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Heizi.

The Wang family is powerful, and this place is their territory. If they fight back, they will definitely get into trouble.

Hearing this, Li Shen was already furious and slammed the table and stood up.

"My god, I've never seen such an arrogant person in my life. And today I really saw one."

Everyone was startled by the sound of Prince Ji slamming the table.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Shitou hurried to comfort him.

"Wait a moment and I'll tell you. Come, send someone to call Wang Hongfu, Wang Xuance, and Xue Rengui to me immediately.

hurry up. "

Li Shen shouted outside, and then said to Ma Wei and others:

"All of you, get up, Stone, and bring them some stools for them to sit on.

Give them some tea.”

Li Shen gave an order to Shitou, who quickly arranged for his servants to go there and bring a few pillars.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji."

Several people hurriedly thanked him and sat in a row at the door.

A stool is a small stool, usually used by servants to sit on. They were cloth-dressed and white-collared.

It is impossible to be on equal footing with Li Shen. This is the rule, and Li Shen understands it.

Being given a stool to sit on is already a blessing.

After a while, Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu arrived. Wang Hongfu ran in sweating profusely.

Being summoned by Prince Ji was a big deal, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and just happened to meet Wang Xuance.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw a row of people sitting at the door, and they were both stunned.

He was even more surprised to see a person lying on the ground. Could something happen in Prince Ji’s mansion again?

"What are you standing there for? Come in."

Li Shen shouted when he saw the two people standing outside in a daze.

"See you, Your Majesty."

The two men came in and bowed.

"Find a place to sit down. You can listen to this. The guards who retired from our palace were beaten in Laizhou Prefecture.

And it hit so hard."

"What? Who dares to be so bold?"

The most surprised person was Wang Hongfu. Prince Ji's notoriety spread throughout the country. Apart from His Majesty, who else in the world would dare to provoke His Royal Highness Prince Ji?

Even the crown prince had to hide from Prince Ji, for fear of being implicated by him.

I didn't expect that there would be people who dared to touch the tiger's tail, pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth, and hit King Ji.

"Langya Wang Clan."

"Langya Wang Clan?"

Wang Xuance and Wang Hongfu were even more surprised.

"Okay, Rengui won't be here for a while, Ma Wei, you go on."

Li Shen waved his hand and stopped explaining, signaling the two to listen to Ma Wei.

Ma Wei stood up and saluted, then continued speaking slowly.

The girl from the Wang family was still not satisfied after beating Heizi until his face was covered in blood, so she asked her guards to beat Heizi together.

Of course the team members couldn't stand it and wanted to step forward, but Heizi told them to go back, watch the carriage and handle the situation themselves.

Finally, the guards beat up Heizi, and Wang's daughter was still shouting:

"I just went against the flow, so what? I just hit you, so what?

I will beat you to death today, and let's see what you can do. "

The fight went on for a while, and a lot of people gathered at the scene, attracting the patrolling local soldiers.

Heizi finally escaped.

"and then?"

Seeing that Ma Wei had finished speaking, Li Shen immediately asked.

"Your Highness, we will quickly find a doctor for Heizi."

"Did you mention the King?"

Li Shen asked Ma Zhou with a grim face.

"No, we never mentioned the prince."

Several people shook their heads.

"Asshole, stone, slap in the face."

Li Shen shouted angrily.

Shitou immediately stepped forward, "Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"

One of them gave a big slap in the face, which stunned Ma Wei and his men.

"Do you know why I beat you?"

Several people shook their heads.

"Humph, why don't you mention this king at this critical moment of life and death?"

Li Shen snorted.

"Your Majesty, we are deeply indebted to you. Now that we are commoners, how can we go out under your name and cause trouble for you?

Heizi told us at the time that we must not mention the prince under any circumstances, and we must not cause trouble for the palace."

Ma Wei replied.

"Bullshit! If you are out there bullying and doing evil, and you mention me and use my name to oppress the people,

I will definitely break your legs and kick your entire family out of the village.

But how could I blame you for such a thing? You didn't cause any trouble and the fault is not yours.

If you mention me, Heizi won't be beaten like this. I beat you because I'm angry that you don't understand me. "

Li Shen cursed angrily. He understood that these people did not mention his name because they were afraid of being punished by him later.

This was how feudal society was. If you rashly mentioned the prince and the prince blamed you, you would most likely be beheaded or exiled.

Unless you encounter trouble while working for Prince Ji's Mansion, you can mention Prince Ji as the backer.

Only Li Shen keeps saying that my father is the emperor. No one else dares to do so.

"Thank you, King Ji. We are guilty."

After knowing Prince Ji's intention, several people slapped each other and felt a little touched.

Unexpectedly, King Ji blamed them for not mentioning his name to protect himself.

Wang Xuance on the side asked:

"Didn't you report it to the police?"

“Reporting to the Chief Secretary, when the local government soldiers arrived, they reported the matter to the authorities, and we were taken to the Jiaoshui County Government Office.

The county magistrate shall, according to the law, impose a fine of one thousand yuan."

Ma Wei replied.

"Bullshit, even if I don't know the Zhenguan Law, I know that hitting someone is punishable. If a woman hits Heizi,

According to Tang law, the minimum punishment was 20 strokes of the cane.

Allowing a slave to commit a crime and severely injuring Heizi, fifty strokes of the cane would be a light punishment.

Just a fine of one thousand or one tael of silver is enough to solve the problem?"

Hearing Ma Wei's words, Li Shen became furious again.

It only cost a thousand coins to beat a person like this, and a human life is not worth much.

"Your Majesty, I guess they used the redemption punishment."

Although Li Shen was surprised, Wang Xuance was not surprised at all.

"Atonement?"

Li Shen had never heard of it.

"Is there a penalty called redemption in Tang law?"

Seeing that Li Shen didn't understand, Wang Xuance explained respectfully:

"Your Highness, redemption is indeed a type of punishment in Tang law, but it is not a punishment, but a way to atone for one's sins."

"How to atone for sins? How to atone for sins? With money?"

“Wang is right, it does cost money.

Reduce the sentence by paying a certain amount of money.”

Wang Xuance explained.

So that's how it is. Li Shen suddenly realized that he had known about using money to reduce punishment for a long time. The more than 120 playboys led by Li Shen had all used this method.
