Chapter 18: Nine Songs!
Walking into the courtyard, Li Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness ...... today, It's a bit of a big fuss! ”
After a long time, Di Renjie sighed and said, although he has not been in contact with Li Hong for a long time, he can also see that Li Hong is shrewd and decisive, affectionate and affectionate, and he is a rare candidate for the prince, so he can't help but be a little worried about Li Hong's situation!
"Your Highness shouldn't be so impulsive, if this matter reaches the ears of Your Majesty and Niangniang, Your Highness will never get any benefits! Even ......"
"You can't even keep the crown prince, right?"
Following Di Renjie's words, Li Hong asked rhetorically.
"Di Qing, the eldest husband stands in the world, he does something, he must do something! Today's events are indeed beyond Lone's expectations, but Lone has no regrets! ”
In the last sentence, Li Hong said categorically.
"Those poor women, they are all my Datang people, they all have their own parents, they have their own brothers and sisters, my Datang has been sorry for them, did not give them a peaceful and prosperous world, so that they have to leave their hometowns and seek a way to live, now even these women have to be deprived of their last dignity?"
Li Hong became more and more excited, and Di Renjie even saw tears faintly shining in the corners of Li Hong's eyes.
In his previous life, Li Hong hated human traffickers the most, they kidnapped a child, creating a family tragedy, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary little person, powerless to stop these things, but now, since he is in the position of the prince, he will never allow this kind of thing to happen in front of his eyes!
Suddenly, Li Hong solemnly bowed to Di Renjie.
"Huaiying, Lone knows that you are a jealous and hateful person, please ask you for something today, I hope you will not refuse!"
"Your Highness......"
Di Renjie had vaguely guessed what Li Hong was going to say, but if he was really involved in this matter, he would never have a peaceful life, or even ...... Net worth and life are a problem!
"First, these poor children will be arranged, this matter is obviously not a day, arresting, selling, going up and down is obviously very wide, please Di Qing will investigate this matter to the end, no matter who is involved, Lone will not tolerate mercy! Even though ......"
Li Hong paused for a moment, his expression was a little struggling, but he quickly said categorically.
"Even if it involves the royal family, if you don't want to fight for the position of the crown prince, you have to get justice for these children! This worship, bow down for the people of the Tang Dynasty, please Huaiying must not refuse! ”
After that, Li Hong actually bowed his body and did not move, waiting for Di Renjie to agree.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so loving, the ministers must go to the soup and the fire, and death will not spin!"
Di Renjie was stunned for a moment, not because he didn't dare to take on this case, but because he was shocked by Li Hong's attitude, he thought that Li Hong wanted him to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the prince, but he didn't expect Li Hong to entrust him with the case of missing people.
After waking up, Di Renjie immediately knelt on the ground and said categorically.
Li Hong got up at this time, helped Di Renjie up, and said a few words uneasily, and saw Cheng Wu coming out of the dark room, followed by a few poor girls.
For a while, he couldn't find any other clothes, so Cheng Wu took off the coats of himself and Li Hong's personal guards and covered them.
Fortunately, it is already early autumn, and these men are wearing a few more clothes, not that there are not enough clothes, but these wide coats cover their thin bodies, which looks particularly ill-fitting, but there is a bit of pity and pity.
"Your Highness, most of those women are homeless, and many of them are women from good families around them, all of whom have been forcibly taken captive, and they have been given silver taels by their humble positions, and they have been returned to their homes to find their families."
Cheng Wu clenched his fists and said to Li Hong, but at the end of his words, there was a little hesitation.
"It's just...... Some of these dozen women are still young, and some have no families, what should they do, please show your Highness! ”
According to reason, the whereabouts of these women are handled by the Chang'an Order, but they are helpless, and the final outcome is nothing more than getting a sum of money and then fending for themselves.
But now that Chang'an is full of displaced people, how can they survive as few weak women.
Cheng Wu really couldn't bear it, so he thought about taking them to Li Hong to ask for a favor and give them a way to live, although the people around Li Hong were all selected, and it was unlikely that they would come.
But Li Hong has several Zhuangzi under his name, and it is still possible to send them there to ask for a job.
But even if it is Zhuangzi, it is necessary for a person with a clean net worth to enter, so Cheng Wu had to come over and ask Li Hong for a favor.
Unexpectedly, Li Hong saw Cheng Wu come out with a few women, but he frowned and said coldly.
"What does Commander Cheng mean?"
The voice was not loud, but there was no warmth in the words.
Cheng Wu's move seemed to be trying to find a way to live for them, but in fact he was coercing him, if Cheng Wu really thought about them, he didn't have to take them out, he could come over by himself, but Cheng Wu was now leading them to kneel here, but Li Hong had to agree to his request.
Yes, Li Hong couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his tone, Cheng Wu's performance today really disappointed him, and it was really time to beat it well.
"I want to arrange for them to go to His Highness's Zhuangzi to ask for a job, and ask His Highness to give him a favor!"
Although he had already sensed Li Hong's displeasure, Cheng Wu still said stubbornly.
In fact, he did this as a last resort, after all, Zhuangzi is the royal property, if he lets someone who is not innocent enter, Li Hong will also take the risk, it is Cheng Wu who thought of this idea, His Royal Highness has always been soft-hearted, if he sees the pitiful appearance of these women, he will definitely not refuse.
That's why we have the current situation.
Li Hong looked at the girls kneeling behind Cheng Wu, after all, he couldn't bear it, waved his hand, and said.
"Then it's up to you to send it to Zhuangzi!"
"I don't want to go to Zhuangzi!"
Suddenly, a woman behind Cheng Wu shouted crisply, which frightened Cheng Wu into a cold sweat, how could this woman be so ignorant that she even dared to disobey the words of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Oh, where do you want to go?"
There are really a lot of things today, after arranging these women, Li Hong was about to return to the East Palace, when he heard a stubborn voice, but at this moment he was indeed a little tired, and his voice couldn't help but carry a bit of majesty.
"Follow you!"
The woman was about thirteen or fourteen years old, not too old among these girls, with a delicate face, just kneeling straight and straight, but her clear eyes were unusually calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Follow me? What can you do with me? There is no shortage of girls around me! ”
Li Hong also found that his tone was a little heavy, and asked in a slow and playful tone.
"Protect you!"
The woman was silent for a moment, but her tone was as calm as ever.
Li Hong was a little ridiculous, this little girl is so cute, well, it's good to stay by your side and make a pistachio!
"Don't move!"
The next moment, the two shiny silver needles were against Cheng Wu's throat, already half an inch deep into his neck, and the slender silver needles trembled gently in the sun, flashing with a dangerous light.
The little woman's white and tender little hands were holding two silver needles, Cheng Wu wanted to resist, but found that his limbs were weak and he couldn't even move his fingers.
Her eyes were as calm as ever, as if she had just done a trivial thing!
Immediately, she turned around and knelt in front of Li Hong in a flash, no longer speaking.
"Who are you? Why approach Lone? ”
Although the woman attacked suddenly, you must know that Cheng Wu was specially sent by Li Zhi to protect Li Hong, how could it be so easy to be hit, Li Hong didn't know how high Cheng Wu's martial arts were, but to the point where he was, anyone who approached him, he would subconsciously take precautions.
The woman was able to subdue Cheng Wu, but it could only be said that it was because her speed was too fast, so fast that Cheng Wu didn't have time to react, so Li Hong's first reaction was that this woman was deliberately approaching him, but after thinking about it, he found that he was stupid in asking what he said.
Not to mention that he came to Pingkangfang to decide in the past few days, that is, with this woman's skills, it is not difficult to take his life, since she just shot at Cheng Wu, it means that there is no hostility towards him, since there is no hostility, why not keep her?
"Nine songs!"
Li Hong wondered if she had a language barrier, and she couldn't speak more than three words, which was extremely cold.
"Okay, what if Lone is left by your side! But Lone's personal guard was poisoned by you! Can the girl untie it for him! ”
After thinking for a moment, Li Hong said decisively, glanced at Cheng Wu, who was frozen on the ground motionless, and added another sentence.
"Anesthetic, half an hour!"
The woman named Jiu Ge got up, flashed behind Li Hong and stood still, and said coldly.
