"King Qi is a good trick to kill people with a knife." Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke with a smile on his face and said.

"Wei Xiang should also be considerate of this king, after the matter here is dealt with, Wei Xiang will return to Chang'an City. And this king still has to stay in Qizhou, so this black cauldron can only trouble Wei Xiang to help this king carry it. Li Ke said to Wei Zheng with a smile.

"Now that I, Wei Zheng, am already a subordinate of King Qi, how can I not do the things that the princess has assigned to my subordinates." Wei Zheng said to Li Ke with a smile.

The two looked at each other and smiled again, and then Li Ke left Wei Zheng's residence. I went to the living room to see Zheng Tianshou. Wei Zheng also took people out of the Qi Palace, and went to Zheng Wanshou's mansion.

……

At this time, Zheng Tianshou was anxiously waiting in the living room, he was really afraid that Li Ke would not come to see him. That means that you are really going to die.

When Zheng Tianshou saw Li Ke walk in, he couldn't mention how happy he was. He saluted Li Ke in a proper manner and said, "Grass people Zheng Tianshou see the prince." ”

"How can the Zheng family master have the leisure time to come to see this king today, could it be that Zheng Lengbai of the Zheng family in Xingyang has already given up on you?" Li Ke said to Zheng Wanshou with a disdainful face.

"Where did the prince say, the grass people's family lives in Zhengzhou, and they are naturally the people under the rule of the prince. Even if the Zheng family in Xingyang belongs to the five surnames and seven sects, he is just a people, how can he be compared with the prince of the clan. Zheng Wanshou said with a flattering face.

"The king is preparing to meet you, the man who wants to take the king's life, these days. It's just that the matter of Dengzhou during this time has left this king with no time to withdraw. ”

"Since you have come to see this king today, this king also takes this opportunity to ask you. Why did the head of the Zheng family put this king to death? Li Ke's face sank like water, and his eyes asked with murderous intent.

"The prince is wrong to blame the grass people, even if he gives the grass people great courage, the grass people don't dare to send someone to assassinate the prince." Zheng Tianshou said to Li Ke tremblingly.

"That's strange, the assassin who assassinated this king that day confessed to this king in person, saying that he was on the orders of you, the head of the Zheng family. I'm afraid the Assassin wouldn't be convinced, would he? ”

"And the gifts that this king asked him to bring back to you, have you received them all?" Li Ke opened his mouth and asked Zheng Wanshou.

"The gifts given by the prince to the grass people naturally received them, and these people are indeed people from the grass people's mansion. It's just that the grass people usually don't want to command them, because they belong to the Zheng family in Xingyang. Zheng Wanshou said helplessly.

When Li Ke heard Zheng Wanshou's words, he couldn't help but show a disdainful smile on his face. This is the so-called family family, and it is absolutely wise to protect one's life at a critical time. As for betraying others, it has become a normal means of self-preservation.

"You mean that Zheng Lengbai, the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, intends to send someone to assassinate this king. However, this king seems to have never dealt with Zheng Lengbai, so why did he assassinate this king? Li Ke asked with a puzzled expression.

"The prince doesn't know that Zheng Lengbai is the eldest brother of Yan Tingming, the head of the Langya Yan family. His nephew died at the hands of the prince, and it was reasonable for Zheng Lengbai to assassinate the prince to avenge his nephew. Zheng Wanshou said to Li Ke.

Li Ke nodded after hearing this, and then said to Zheng Wanshou: "It seems that this king is wrong to blame the Zheng family master." Since this matter has nothing to do with the Zheng family master, why did the Zheng family master come to see this king today? ”

"The prince has devoted all his family resources to the people of Qizhou, which is not something that any prince of the clan can do. Therefore, the grass people came to thank the prince on behalf of the people of Qizhou. ”

"After all, the prince is the prince of the clan, and the expenses of the family naturally can't be too shabby. So the grass people brought some thank-you gifts, and asked the prince to smile. Zheng Wanshou opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

"Don't say it, this king has really been short of money lately. Since the head of the Zheng family has this filial piety, the king naturally can't refuse. Li Ke said with a happy expression.

Hearing Li Ke's words, a smile appeared on Zheng Wanshou's face. And said to Li Ke: "Please wait for a while, and the grass people will order someone to bring the gift in." ”

After Zheng Wanshou finished speaking, he turned around and left the living room. After a while, he brought people into the living room, large and small, eight wooden boxes. And ordered someone to directly open the lid of the wooden box.

Li Ke stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "This Zheng Wanshou is so generous." ”

Among the eight wooden boxes, four of the wooden boxes are filled with Kaiyuan Tongbao. There are also four wooden crates filled with rare treasures and golden gold.

At this time, Zheng Wanshou handed a gift list to Li Ke, and said to Li Ke: "This is a small gift prepared by the grass people for the prince, and please don't dislike it." ”

Li Ke took the gift list and opened it, only to see that the gift list said that there were 2,000 copper coins, 500 taels of gold, 500 East Pearls, and a box of imperial green jade.

In the seven boxes in front of this head, Li Ke was not surprised. After all, gift-giving naturally involves giving valuable things.

However, to Li Ke's surprise, the last wooden box turned out to be a stone. And what the gift list says is that this stone is an extraterrestrial meteorite.

After Li Ke looked at it, he said: "Since this king has received a gift from the Zheng family master today, there is something that this king should tell the Zheng family master." ”

"If this king didn't guess wrong, Wei Zheng probably had already taken someone to the Zheng family master's house. As for what to do, there should be no need for this king to say, and the Zheng family master should also understand it in his heart. ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Zheng Wanshou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and his clothes were wet with sweat. trembling, he knelt in front of Li Ke and said, "The prince saved me, and asked the prince to save my dog's life." ”

"Why should the Zheng family master be so alarmed, since the assassination of this king has nothing to do with the Zheng family master. Even if he Wei Zheng went, what was there to be afraid of. Li Ke said indifferently.

But at this time, Zheng Wanshou's face had become as white as paper. Whether he sent someone to assassinate Li Ke, he knew better than anyone else in his heart.

At this time, Zheng Wanshou couldn't help but pray in his heart, hoping that Wei Zheng would not find any evidence. After all, the relevant evidence has been destroyed by Zheng Wanshou.

However, for the sake of safety, Zheng Wanshou opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "What the prince said is right, he is not afraid of shadows. After this matter passed, the grass people brought a few treasures from the family to the prince. ”

"The meaning of the Zheng family master is naturally understood, but at this time, the king is also difficult to protect. Wei Zheng came to Qizhou on this matter and had already read his father's decree to this king. ”

"My father burned the living room of the Zheng family master because of this king, and forcibly forced the dignitaries of the family to collect donations. He has been fined to be grounded for one year, and all the things in Qizhou have also been handed over to Wang Tianlai, the assassin of Qizhou. Li Ke said with a sigh.

Hearing Li Ke's words, Zheng Wanshou's face was ugly. And at this time, Wei Zheng walked in with several forbidden soldiers.

And said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness King Qi, this official has verified that Zheng Wanshou is the one who hired an assassin to assassinate His Royal Highness King Qi. ”

"Now this official has sent people to surround the Zheng family. It's a pity that Zheng Wanshou is not at home. However, His Royal Highness King Qi can rest assured that the lower officials will definitely go all out to arrest him. ”
