The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

When Li Ke returned to the restaurant, he went straight to the emperor's room.

The emperor was still eating cakes happily. When he saw Li Ke entering the room, he invited him to come over.

Li Ke sat down next to the emperor.

I ate a piece of pastry handed over by the emperor.

How's it going? The emperor asked and looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke shook his head and said with a wry smile: Father, I just went out for a trip, and Ninggu County Magistrate Chen Qu stayed with me the whole time.

I originally wanted to walk around along the street, but when I walked over, I realized that everything was blocked by wooden boards.

There are craftsmen everywhere, Chen Qu said to his son, they are the ones in Ninggu County who are renovating the streets.

But I discovered that those were no ordinary craftsmen at all.

After hearing the identity of Erchen, they were not afraid or surprised at all. .??.

This is not what a craftsman should look like.

The emperor nodded, he had expected such a result.

Ninggu County was now on guard against them from head to toe, and wished they could be imprisoned in this small restaurant.

Since you can't find any evidence, tell Mr. Chen all the abnormalities you discovered.

You and me, father and son, just enjoy the food and drink here. The emperor said with a smile.

The emperor is now lying down.

Since Qizhou officials were on strict guard against him, he simply stopped investigating.

Have a great time here.

When Zhao Chen is almost there, they can go to the next place.

But here, it is left to Zhao Chen to investigate.

Ah? Li Ke was a little stunned.

They didn't investigate at all and left it all to Zhao Chen?

Father, if my brother knew that father treated him like this, would he give up?

After all, the emperor's temper... Li Ke did not continue.

He was just worried that if Zhao Chen knew that the emperor was lying down like this, would he be so angry that he would go back to Chang'an?

You kid just

You don't know how to use your brain. If you tell Mr. Chen directly that I won't investigate anymore and let him investigate on his own, of course he will be unhappy.

But if you tell Mr. Chen that we tried our best but found nothing, we can only rely on him to turn the tide now.

Would Mr. Chen feel much better this way?

Boy, you have to pay attention to the art of speaking, and don't tell the truth.

The emperor looked at Li Ke with a smile and spoke seriously.

Li Ke's face twitched.

Where is the art of speaking here?

It was obvious that he had found an opportunity for Zhao Chen to deal with Li Ke!

Father, you understand everything you said, but it is up to you, Father, to write the letter to the emperor.

My son is worried that if the emperor knows about this in the future, he will beat him to death. Li Ke said to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at Li Ke.

He secretly said that he didn't want Zhao Chen to trouble him in the future.

The Li Ke in front of him had no eyesight at all.

This son won't share his worries, so he, his father, is still trying to support him?

No filial piety at all!

Don't worry, with me supporting you, how dare Mr. Chen do anything to you? The emperor waved his hand.

He just wanted to lie down quietly.

It is impossible to take the blame for Li Ke.

Li Ke curled his lips secretly. He knew that following his father out would definitely be bad.

Sure enough, it was Li Ke who had to take the blame for this kind of thing.

Go get the pen and paper, I said, you write. The emperor waved his hands to Li Ke, not giving him a chance to speak again.

What can Li Ke do?

I could only swear secretly in my heart that I would never be alone with the emperor again.

…

Li Ke was writing to Zhao Chen about some situations in Ninggu County.

Chen Qu also returned to his county government office.

Ma Zhiyuan is already waiting here.

I heard that the King of Shu just went out. What happened? Ma Zhiyuan and Chen Qu asked.

Chen Qu cupped his hands and said with a smile: Li Ke wanted to come out to investigate the situation in our Ninggu County, but the official has already been prepared. ??

The roads all around were blocked with wooden boards on the pretense that they were being repaired.

Although Li Ke is angry, there is nothing he can do.

Hearing what Chen Qu said, Ma Zhiyuan finally showed a smile on his face.

He was also worried about what Li Ke would see if he left the restaurant.

Fortunately, Chen Qu's response was very good.

Even if Li Ke had suspicions, he didn't see anything and it was of little use.

Chen Qu, you did a good job in this matter.

As long as they are not allowed to find evidence, anything can be explained.

After all, the person in Chang'an won't just watch us being investigated. Ma Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Chen Qu has always been curious about who the person from Chang'an that Ma Zhiyuan has been talking about is.

Captain Ma, who is that person from Chang'an that you have been talking about? Can you talk to me about it? Chen Qu asked Ma Zhiyuan again about the person from Chang'an.

When asked every day before, Ma Zhiyuan would excuse himself with various reasons.

The one from Chang'an has a high and powerful position. He can speak his mind even in front of the emperor.

So, County Magistrate Chen, just take care of your own affairs. When the time comes, I will recommend you to Chang'an.

Then he will rise to prominence and his ancestors will be honored. Ma Zhiyuan just said these few words.

As for who the person in Chang'an is, Ma Zhiyuan is still tight-lipped.

Chen Qu felt a little disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted.

r\u003e But he still nodded and said with a smile: Then I would like to thank Governor Ma for his cultivation.

If that happens one day in the future, I will definitely not forget Governor Ma's kindness.

Ma Zhiyuan was also happy and said: Today's matter should be over. The emperor and the others will not send anyone out again.

County Magistrate Chen, later on, I will go with you to deal with those who have not yet been dealt with.

There was a hint of unbearable expression on Chen Qu's face.

Then he nodded again, with a sharp look on his face, and said, Yes.

…

There was no trace of life in Ninggu County at night.

The entire city was shrouded in a dark and terrifying aura.

About three miles away from the restaurant where the emperor and others stayed, there was a dilapidated village.

Around the village, there are Ninggu County government officials guarding the place with weapons.

Everyone had a sharp look on their face, and their eyes were cold as they looked at the ordinary people tied up in a row in front of them.

I'll ask you one last time, where is that man hiding? A government servant walked over with a knife in his eyes.

He put the knife on the neck of a middle-aged man and spoke in a cold tone.

The middle-aged man's eyes were full of fear, but he didn't say a word.

Seeking death! The yamen servant seemed to be irritated by the middle-aged man's attitude.

The knife was drawn across, and the blood stained the edge of the knife red.

father!

When the middle-aged man fell to the ground, the cry of the little boy came from behind.

The little boy ran over and tried to help his father up.

But the yamen officer grabbed the little boy in his hand and shouted, Tell me, where is that man hiding?

If you don't say anything, I will kill you all!

Everyone in the crowd looked sad.

Sir, I say, don't hurt a child. An old man in the crowd cried.
