"What's your name?" Li Hong looked at the little girl who was snuggling up to Yang Yue's side and holding Yang Yue's shirt tightly with one hand and asked.

"People's girl Chen Qinghan."

"My name is Yang Lan'er."

The two voices sounded in the room together, and Chen Qinghan, who had just finished answering, hurriedly raised his head after hearing Yang Lan'er's voice.

Only then did I see that at some point, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes had been focused on Yang Lan'er's body, and as for himself, he had been ignored by His Royal Highness the Prince.

But as her answer appeared, Li Hong remembered that he seemed to be talking to Chen Qinghan just now.

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted. Chen Qinghan, did your father get this name for you? Li Hong shifted his gaze to Chen Qinghan and asked with a faint smile.

"Yes, Your Highness." Chen Qinghan became less nervous than he was just now because of Li Hong's soft gaze at Yang Lan'er just now, and his tone was much more soothing when he answered.

"Han is a lotus, there is a noble quality out of the mud and not stained, the word Qinghan, that is, I hope that your father has a noble quality for you, and there is also the meaning of clear water hibiscus, Chen Jingzhi seems to have high expectations for you." Li Hongpin commented on Chen Qinghan's name and said.

"Your Highness Xie praises, please Your Highness to see, my father was wronged, he has been an official for many years, he has always been clean-sleeved, honest and upright, and has never done anything against the court, and I also ask His Highness to re-examine my father's case." Chen Qinghan suddenly knelt on the ground and said with some sadness.

The eighteen- and nineteen-year-old girl was first lured and imprisoned by Li Jingye, and then sent to Hangzhou in a daze and secretly imprisoned.

Later, he followed Yang Yuedong to hide in Tibet, hoping to save his father's life because he was not caught by Li Jingye.

Now it is like running in the dark in a hurry, when he is worried, he finally ushered in a glimmer of light, and he has been separated from his father for so many days, and he doesn't know how the only relative lives and dies.

The intricate factors add up, after seeing Li Hong, he was able to control his emotions for the first time, and he didn't cry on the spot, which already shows that this Chen Qinghan is strong enough.

Li Hong nodded silently and motioned for Chen Qinghan to get up, but Chen Qinghan knelt on the ground, but he refused to get up.

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Hong looked at the little girl Yang Lan'er amiably, and then said softly: "Lan'er, can you go and help Sister Yang up?" ”

Yang Lan'er didn't expect Li Hong to call her, she was stunned for a moment, and then under the reminder of Yang Yue beside her, she nodded obediently, and after a hum, she ran to Chen Qinghan and wanted to help her up.

But Chen Qinghan is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he is already an adult in Datang, and Yang Lan'er, who has not eaten enough, can help him up.

Seeing that Yang Lan'er was struggling to help Chen Qinghan up, but Chen Qinghan knelt there, letting Yang Lan'er use her strength to eat, and she couldn't pick her up, so Li Hong had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, Chen Jingzhi is safe now, although he is imprisoned in the prison, someone is secretly protecting him, so he is safe for a while." ”

"Really, Your Highness?" Chen Qinghan raised his head and asked.

"If you continue to kneel, I can't guarantee whether it's true or not." Li Hong spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said.

Chen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that a person as noble as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also make jokes, so his white face with tears was slightly red, and then he stood up obediently and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

"Don't thank me, I don't have that much ability to make Li Jingye not kill your father, Li Jingye is eager to kill your father before I arrive in Yangzhou." Therefore, if you want to be grateful, you must first thank yourself, or thank your father for giving Li Jingye a lie. Li Hong said with a smile.

Bai Chun gently pushed the door and walked in, stood still behind Li Hong, and looked at Chen Qinghan standing there with rain without speaking, and Yang Lan'er was still standing beside him.

Chen Qinghan understood what Li Hong was referring to, that is, the evidence of Li Jingye's rebellion in her hand, so she thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Highness, there is no evidence of Li Jingye's rebellion in the hands of the people's daughter, only a few letters between Yang Zhirou, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Jingye, the assassin of Yangzhou, and Zheng Jingxuan, the assassin of Kuozhou. ”

"Is that all?" Li Hong frowned a little, these are not enough, what he wants is direct evidence of Li Jingye's rebellion, even if it is indirect.

But if it's just a battle of officialdom, how can you wipe out all these people? Wouldn't you have to continue to deal with Li Jingye?

But then again, something is better than nothing, so Li Hong didn't wait for Chen Qinghan to speak, and asked again: "Did you carry those letters with you, or did you hide them somewhere?" ”

Chen Qinghan lowered his head, a little afraid to face Li Hong, who looked a little dignified, and said in a low voice: "The people's daughter didn't dare to take it with her, because it was related to her father's life, so she was put in Uncle Yang's house by the people's daughter, but ...... But now I'm afraid I'm already being targeted, so I don't dare to go over and take it. ”

"Send lawlessness, go to Yang Yue's house with Miss Chen, no matter what, you must also get those letters!" Li Hong got up, glanced at Bai Chun and said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I'll arrange it." Bai Chun was behind Li Hong and said in a respectful voice.

"Take her with you, and I plan to give Li Yiyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Di Renjie, the secretary of Dali Temple, to investigate Yang Zhirou and Yang Sijian, the servants of the Ministry of Officials, is it ...... There is a secret collusion with Li Jingye! The province of the book of fate and the province of Menxia sent people to Yangzhou immediately to stand by, and if the level of the people sent was too low, I dismissed the two of them! Li Hong's expression became more solemn, he was too idle these days, just thinking about what was recorded in the history books, completely forgetting his arrival, which had changed the trajectory of history.

Then it's like the butterfly effect, everything won't be like the trajectory of history, and some things that have happened before, it won't necessarily happen again. Something that didn't happen will happen in the course of a changed history.

Or, some things that have happened in the past will happen in advance and lag behind in the process of historical change, but in any case, I am a little overbearing.

Bai Chun didn't understand why Li Hong suddenly became so dignified, and even there was a trace of anxiety in his demeanor, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask the reason, let alone ask himself, so like Chen Qinghan, he beckoned, and went to find the lawless and lead someone to find the letter.

Yang Yue and Yang Lan'er, who were left, looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still kind just now, with some horror, and became cold in the blink of an eye.

Yang Lan'er unconsciously ran to Yang Yue quietly, holding Yang Yue's hand tightly, her small figure involuntarily ducked behind her, avoiding looking at Li Hong.

After Bai Chun and Chen Qinghan left, Li Hong sat down again, sorted out his thoughts, and then looked at Yang Yue and asked: "You once served as the secretary of Lin'an County, as far as I know, at the beginning of Chen Jingzhi's official career, he started his career from the sixth grade, Lin'an is a county in Hangzhou, you are a household, I'm afraid you haven't entered the product yet, right?" How do you know each other? ”

"This ...... Back to Your Highness. "Where has Yang Yue seen such a big official as the crown prince, when he replied just now, although he knew that Li Hong must be a big official, he didn't expect it to be the prince, so when he kept talking, he said directly.

But after listening to Chen Qinghan's words just now, every time or at the beginning, he would bring back to His Royal Highness three words, and then he said in a similar way: "Back to His Royal Highness, Xiaomin has served as the secretary of Lin'an County since he was thirty years old, since Chen Jingzhi Chen served in Hangzhou, when he went to Lin'an County once, because of the problem of the land being annexed by the wealthy family, he met Xiaomin when he verified the number of household registrations, and then when he impartially implemented the issue of rent adjustment of the household department of the imperial court, he ...... became friends, Xiaomin's son and daughter-in-law, because of this incident, they were wrongfully imprisoned, and later died in prison, it was Lord Chen who helped Xiaomin to avenge his son and daughter-in-law, so Xiaomin owes Lord Chen two lives....... ”

"Land annexation?" Li Hong guessed.

"Yes, Your Highness. According to the latest laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, wealthy families and nobles cannot merge or buy out the land of the people, but they are ....... "Yang Yue is actually an ordinary person, a small household, not to mention the prince, even the lowest-level county lieutenant from the ninth grade, and he will not treat them as Tang officials.

Therefore, as the lowest level of the Si Gong, the Si Cang, the Si Hu, the Judiciary, the Si Bing, and the Si Shi, no one treats them as officials of the Tang Dynasty.

"Then who is going to forcibly buy out your family's land?" Although Li Hong was talking to Yang Yue, his eyes were always on Yang Lan'er.

Then he beckoned to an old man and a young man, and after the three of them left the shop, they walked around casually in the elegant and chic Li Mansion, chatting casually.

"Yes...... It is Yang Jikang, the son of Yang Zhirou, the servant of the Ministry of Officials. Yang Yue lowered his head, wanting to look at everything in this mansion, but he didn't dare to be too blatant, so he had to lower his head and wander around.

Being in such an elegant and quiet environment, Yang Yue and Yang Lan'er felt as if they had soared to the fairy world, completely different from the world they were familiar with, and they were completely two worlds.

"Since you know that Yang Jikang is an important member of the imperial court and the son of Yang Zhirou, the servant of the ministry, why do you dare to go against them and fight with reason? Why are you not afraid of your sons and daughters-in-law even if you are not willing to sell them their land even if you lose the lives of your sons and daughters-in-law? "Li Hong is very curious, where do you have the confidence to fight with Yang Jikang.

"It's ......." Yang Yue couldn't react a little, although he was literate, he didn't have much, and he didn't know how to say a few words, let alone face His Royal Highness the Prince.

So after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulate this, and the small people are afraid that the government will investigate them, so they dare not sell it to them." ”

“……。” It was the first time Li Hong heard such logic, the law is greater than that of the wealthy and nobles, which is a rare logic in the Tang Dynasty and even in the world.
