Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's words stunned Li Dabian and Xi Bian. Neither of them expected that Li Shen would actually say such words.

Li Dabian's face changed several times, as if he was engaged in an ideological struggle, but Xi Bian's face was actually gloomy, and the face he looked at Li Dabian was full of murderous intent.

"Li Dabian, since His Highness Prince Ji has already asked, then you should invite me truthfully to avoid any physical pain.

If you tell who is your backstage, His Highness Prince Ji will naturally spare your life.

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. How will they live if you die? "

Xi Bian tried to persuade Li Dabian, but he emphasized the word family.

After hearing this, Li Shen turned around and glanced at Xi Bian. Xi Bian immediately turned to look at Li Shen with a flattering smile, looking humble.

"Replying to the prince, the sinner has no backing, and all the crimes are committed by the sinner alone.

One person is responsible for the work, and I don't want to hurt others. "

Li Dadian finally said.

"Okay, if that's the case, then you should think clearly before answering me." Li Shen knew that Li Dadian would not speak, so he could only find an opportunity to interrogate him alone.

Seeing that Li Shen stopped talking, Xi Bian immediately ordered someone to take Li Dabian to prison.

Then he said respectfully to Li Shen:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, why don't you go to Xiaguan's back hall to have a cup of tea? Prince Ji is coming to Cangzhou for the first time, so I should act like a landlord. I hope His Highness Prince Ji will have dinner here."

"Okay, thank you Governor Xi for your hospitality. I just want to have a taste of Cangzhou's specialties." Li Shen agreed with a smile on his face.

But he quickly remembered something, and then shouted to the people outside:

"Dear citizens, now that the thief Li Dabian has been brought to justice, we are now soliciting information about Li Dabian's crimes from the outside world. Please help the common people spread the news.

We have a five-day limit for anyone to report, and I will send someone here to register every day. "

After Li Shen finished speaking, he said to Xi Bian:

"Prefect Xi, write a few notices and post them at the gates of various cities today."

"I obey." Xi Bian nodded.

Li Shen then followed Xi Bian to the back hall, the people dispersed, and the Xie family also walked out of the government office.

"Aye, what should we do next?" Xie Zhi'an's son asked.

"Let's go back to the restaurant first and talk about it. The matter about Li Dabian is over. We will say goodbye to His Highness Prince Ji and then return to Xiejiazhuang.

And I'm also going to see if I can take Prince Ji's route,

If I can catch up with Prince Ji, my Xie family will rise several levels in the future, and our family wealth will increase several times. "

Xie Zhi'an said to his sons.

"But Aye, how can we catch up with King Ji? As far as our family's property and wealth are concerned, His Highness King Ji may not be able to take notice."

"It doesn't matter, even if we look down on him, aren't we already familiar with King Ji?

When I go to Chang'an in the future, I must pay a visit to Prince Ji's Mansion and give him some gifts. It doesn’t matter even if you can’t see King Ji, remember? "

Xie Zhi'an has been in business for many years and has a good understanding of the ways of the world. Xie Zhi'an also has his own little thoughts.

From now on, he would bring gifts to visit Li Shen every time he went to Chang'an. Regardless of whether he could see Li Shen or not, others would think that he must be related to King Ji after seeing him.

From then on, it will be very convenient for him to do business or work in Chang'an. This is called taking advantage of the situation.

After hearing this, the sons all nodded thoughtfully.

Li Shen followed Xi Bian to the back hall. Li Shen was given the first place, and Xi Bian ordered his servants to serve tea.

"May I ask if His Royal Highness, Prince Ji, came to Cangzhou on official business?" Xi Bian took the lead and asked cautiously.

He wanted to find out the purpose of Li Shen's coming and whether it was aimed at him.

"Oh, I'm just passing by. I'm going to take a boat at the beach." Li Shen replied.

Xi Bian nodded,

"By the way, Governor Xi, did you know beforehand that Li Dabian committed such a serious crime in Cangzhou?" Li Shen asked after taking a sip of tea.

"King Hui Ji, this is the first time that this official has heard of this news. I really didn't expect that there are such crazy people in our territory of Cangzhou.

This really means not taking the imperial court and the official seriously.

Such things happened in Cangzhou Prefecture. This is the official's dereliction of duty, and he is guilty of negligence.

The lower official will write a confession of guilt and send it to the three provinces to plead guilty. "

Xi Bianshuo's righteousness is awe-inspiring and quite tragic.

Li Shen secretly despised him for actually daring to act with him, so he said very cooperatively:

"Alas~~~ What Governor Xi said is wrong. Our Tang Dynasty is a vast country with abundant resources, and it is inevitable that one or two lawless people will appear occasionally.

What is the crime of Governor Xi?

Not only has Li Dabian been brought to justice today, but it can also be regarded as a scourge for the people of Cangzhou.

It's a pity that I don't know who is secretly supporting Li Dabian and covering up his crimes. Otherwise, I must take them all and hand them over to the Ministry of Punishment. "

Li Shen also shook his head with regret.

Xi Bian's eyes rolled around after hearing this, and then he asked respectfully:

"Your Highness means that there is someone behind Li Dabian? Your Highness could not be wrong, but I think Li Dabian has no backing.

Otherwise, when His Highness said to spare his life just now, why didn't he say it? "

"Haha, what you said makes sense. There may really be no one behind this Li Dadian. It's because I'm worrying too much.

However, I still need to interrogate Li Daben again to find out clearly. "

Li Shen chuckled.

Li Shen and Xi Bian chatted one after another, and soon they were informed that they could have a meal.

Xi Bian invited Li Shen to have a meal. Li Shen also tested Xi Bian several times at the dinner table, but Xi Bian was quite cautious.

Li Shen made several insinuations, but Xi Bian didn't reveal any flaws.

This made Li Shen very frustrated, and the more this happened, the more Li Shen felt that there was something wrong with Xi Bian.

After dinner, Li Shen said goodbye and returned to the restaurant. Xi Bian warmly invited Li Shen to live in the government office.

But Li Shen refused Xi Bian's kindness because he was not used to living there.

Back at the restaurant, Li Shen saw the Xie family and his son standing at the door, probably waiting for him.

Li Shen took the Xie family and his son into the house and asked:

"Clan Chief Xie, there is no longer anything to do with you here. Don't worry, Li Dabian will not trouble you again in the future.

You can rest easy, you can go back tomorrow. "

"Thank you so much for His Royal Highness Prince Ji's rescue this time. I am very grateful. Please accept my bow." After saying this, the Xie family and his son knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shen.

"Get up, this is fate between you and me. You are a member of our Datang First Chamber of Commerce, and it is my responsibility as the president to help members."

Li Shen waved his hand.

After the Xie family and his son stood up, Xie Zhi'an respectfully said to Li Shen:

"If His Highness hadn't come to the rescue, my family would have been a pile of bones by now. I can't retaliate for this. I have a granddaughter in my family who has not yet left the government. She has been learning music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. If Your Highness doesn't mind,

Let the villain's granddaughter serve His Highness to repay the favor of saving his life. "
