"The third brother's words have been written down by the sixth brother, and he will never make such a mistake in the future." Li Su lowered his head and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke nodded with satisfaction and comforted Li Ke a few more words. Later, Li Ke told Wei Zheng Zheng in detail about sending someone to assassinate him.

……

Now there is a person in Qizhou City who is sleepless all night, he is Zheng Wanshou, the head of the Zheng family, when he learned that Li Ke had returned to Qizhou. was already very worried, for fear that Li Ke would find him to settle accounts after the autumn.

However, seeing that Li Ke did not move for a long time, this made Zheng Wanshou let go of his hanging heart. However, in order to let himself sleep peacefully, he asked the old butler to urge the Soulless Pavilion to do it many times.

However, the reply given by the Soulless Pavilion was that Li Ke was surrounded by masters. The Soulless Pavilion has already lost several killers, and those 20,000 guan will be counted as compensation for the loss of the Soulless Pavilion.

The reason is that the information provided by Zheng Wanshou is inaccurate, which leads to heavy losses in the Soulless Pavilion. If you want to continue to complete this task, you must Zheng Wanshou come up with 50,000 yuan again.

This Zheng Wanshou was furious, but he couldn't do anything about others. What can be done is to spread it outward, and there is no faith in the Soul Pavilion.

But after thinking about it, Zheng Wanshou didn't dare to do this. Because once the matter of hiring the Soulless Pavilion to assassinate Li Ke is exposed, I am afraid that my head will not be saved.

So Zheng Wanshou could only helplessly suffer a dumb loss, and even decided not to trouble Li Ke anymore. I just hope that Li Ke doesn't settle accounts with himself.

But what Zheng Wanshou didn't expect was that the imperial court actually sent a messenger to Qizhou. On the surface, it was to investigate Li Ke's use of the drought to blackmail the people.

However, Zheng Wanshou felt that this was just a reason, and Wei Zheng's real purpose was to come to Qizhou. It is to thoroughly investigate the assassination of Li Ke.

Zheng Wanshou asked the old housekeeper with a decadent face: "Can the people sent out send back the news, what is the real purpose of Qin sending Wei Zheng to Qizhou?" ”

"Back to my lord, so far there has not been the slightest news back. However, I think for the sake of safety, it is better for the master to say hello to the Zheng family in Xingyang. The old butler spoke.

"I'm afraid that even if he informs Zheng Lengbai now, he may not be able to stand up for me. Because self-preservation is their creed. Zheng Wanshou said with a sigh.

"In that case, the only way to do that is to do the following. It's better for the lord to prepare a heavy gift tomorrow and go to the Qi Palace. The old butler spoke.

"I'm afraid it's only like this now, I originally thought that the Shandong family would stand up for us. But they didn't expect that after the incident, they started to shrink their heads one by one. Zheng Wansheng was helpless.

"Master, if the Shandong clan is willing to come forward, Yan Tingming of the Langya Yan family will not be forced to go to Chang'an City to become an official." The old butler spoke.

"It's a pity that even if I Zheng Wanshou goes to Chang'an City, no one will look down on me. After all, our family is too small. At this time, Zheng Wanshou was already completely desperate for the Shandong clan.

"That master can only learn from the Langya Wang family, at least he can keep his family business. It is even possible, so that the Zheng family in Qizhou will be more prosperous. The old butler spoke.

……

"Your Highness, the head of the Zheng family is long-lived, and he is asking to see him outside the mansion with a few large boxes." Yue'er came to Li Ke and said.

"It seems that this Zheng Wanshou's nose is also quite smart. Since he is here, let him go to the living room and wait for the king. Li Ke said with a smile.

Yue'er turned around and left with a sigh, and Li Ke didn't rush to the living room. Instead, he turned around and walked towards Wei Zheng's residence.

When Li Ke came to Wei Zheng's residence, Wei Zheng was writing a recital. Prepare to report the situation in Qizhou to Li Shimin. Strive for Li Shimin to lift the punishment of Li Ke's ban.

When Wei Zheng saw Li Ke walking in, he opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "King Qi came here so early, I don't know what is important?" ”

"Zheng Wanshou, who tried to assassinate this king, came to this king with a heavy gift to make amends." Li Ke said to Wei Zheng with a smile.

"Then I don't know how the prince is going to deal with this matter?" Wei Zheng put down the brush in his hand and looked at Li Ke with an expression of school examination.

"Why does Wei Xiang need to test this king? A person who once wanted to cure the root cause and die, even if he poured out all his family resources, this king would not give him a chance to live. ”

"Because if this king gives him a chance, it is equivalent to burying a hidden danger around him. And it is also a hidden danger that can ask for the king's life at any time. Li Ke said to Wei Zheng with a straight face.

"Well, I am very happy to be able to keep a clear head in the face of great benefits." Wei Zheng said to Li Ke with an approving face.

"What Wei Xiang said is not right, because this king does not want to give up this interest. Moreover, the king felt that the benefits he had taken out were not enough to satisfy the king's appetite. ”

Therefore the king decided to raid his house and destroy his people. In this way, not only can you deter those who have bad intentions against the king, but you can also get his full value. ”

"I don't know what Wei Xiang thinks, this king's plan can be regarded as the best of both worlds." Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng with a smile on his face and said.

"Decisive and insatiable. These two words couldn't be better to describe King Qi. But I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Wei Zheng said with a smile on his face.

At this time, Li Ke really saw Wei Zheng clearly, and the real Wei Zheng was not as upright as said in history. It can even be said that Wei Zheng is a scheming man.

The reason why he dared to speak so bluntly to Li Shimin was that he had penetrated Li Shimin's temper. knew that doing that would not only not anger Li Shimin, but would also make Li Shimin more important than him.

This made Li Ke can't help but secretly say in his heart: "No wonder I can turn from Li Jiancheng's subordinates to become the prime minister of the dynasty." It seems that all this is not accidental! ”

"Then this matter will be handed over to Wei Xiang, after all, Wei Xiang came to Qizhou. If there is no movement, it is not easy to explain to my father. Li Ke said to Wei Zheng with a smile.

"Even if King Qi doesn't say it, I will handle this matter for King Qi. It's just that I have to take some of the confiscated family property back to Chang'an City to pay off. Wei Zheng said to Li Ke with a smile.

"If you want to say that this money is a good thing, without money, even if you have great ability, it will not help. However, this gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and this king will not make a fortune. Li Ke said with a smile.

"What the prince said is right, even if you have more money, but you lose your head. Then the meaning of money ceases to exist. Wei Zheng said approvingly.

"Since this is the case, then the king and Wei Xiang will act separately. I will stabilize Zheng Tianshou here, and Wei Xiang can take someone to copy Zheng Tianshou's home. ”

"When the time comes, the property confiscated from the Zheng family will not be taken by this king. All were brought back to Chang'an City by Wei Xiang and handed over to his father. ”

"And this king only takes the gift of reparation brought by Zheng Tianshou. I wonder what Wei Xiang thinks? Li Ke said to Wei Zheng with a smile on his face.
