"Your Highness—" Just as Li Hong was thinking like this, Chen Gong strode into the study.

"How's it going?" Li Hong asked, he was not in a hurry now, but wanted to see what the other party was going to do, he wanted to play with the other party step by step.

"The matter has been clarified, the person who is molesting Yao Di is a gangster from Luoyang, named Wang Dong, he belongs to a gang, called the Qing Gang." Chen Gong said, "The Qing Gang is very powerful in Luoyang City, and they collude with the government to often oppress the people and business travelers of Luoyang. I also heard that there is a big man behind them, and as for who this big man is, it is still unclear. ”

"So, this time to induce Yao Di to come to find Lone, is what this big man meant?" Li Hong asked.

"Hmm." Chen Gong nodded slightly.

Li Hong wondered, "What do they want to do?" Is it just that you want to solve Yao Chong's problem alone, it's as simple as that? ”

Chen Gong didn't know about this, so he chose to be silent.

"Your Highness, what should I do about Yao Chong's affairs?" Chen Gong asked.

"The enemy is hiding in the shadows, trying to lure Lone out, Lone is as they wish, see what they do." Li Hong said, "Let's go, let's go to Luoyang County." ”

"No!" Chen Gong received the order, and led the guards to escort Li Hong out of the mansion, and walked for about half a pillar of incense before arriving at the Luoyang County Ya. Although Luoyang is a companion capital, it is not like Chang'an City, which has two counties in the city.

The county commander and the county magistrate, as well as the county lieutenant, already knew that the prince was coming, so they waited at the door early.

When they saw the prince, the three of them were busy giving gifts in front of the mountain.

"You guys are different and polite, Gu Lai just wants to see Yao Chong who was arrested by you, you take Gu to the prison to have a look!" Li Hong said.

The county magistrate was about to say something, but when he saw the prince's gloomy face, he couldn't help but didn't speak.

"Your Highness, the prison of Luoyang County is too dirty and messy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very noble, how can he go to such a place? If Your Highness doesn't go to the county government to rest first, we will bring Yao Chong to you immediately, I don't know what Your Highness thinks? The county suddenly spoke. He spoke in a very elegant tone, and at first glance he knew that he was a scholar, and judging by his demeanor, it was impossible to tell that he was a child of a family.

In many cases, most people hate people who are from families because they are arrogant and bully men and women.

Indeed, there are many children of the family who are the children of some gentlemen.

But there are also many people who are born in a family and have a noble character, a polite style, a very polite style, a very good etiquette, and a gentleman.

"Chen Gong, you can go with them!" Li Hong thought for a moment and replied. He didn't believe that he was already in the county office, and there were still people who wanted to make trouble.

"No!" Chen Gong received the order and strode away with the county lieutenant. And the county order and the county seat invited Li Hong to the living room of the county government and served tea. They sat in their lower positions and were silent. First, they didn't know the prince well and didn't know what they wanted. Second, they are very worried now, they don't know what the prince has to do with this person named Yao Chong, Yao Chong has been tortured, if the prince sees Yao Chong's appearance, will he be angry and punish them?

Although the two of them are the county commanders and county officials of Luoyang County, in fact, only they know that they are just puppets, and the real county commanders and county officials have other people.

So now everything they do is not what they have to do, it is someone else who has instructed them to do it, will they tell the prince? It's impossible, they can't keep their future. Because who would want to let a puppet stay in such an important position. But not to mention, the prince still won't let them go, and they know this very well.

Therefore, now the two can only be silent, it depends on the prince's attitude after seeing Yao Chong.

Li Hong was drinking tea, he didn't ask about the identities and family backgrounds of the two, in fact, he didn't want to affect his punishment because of the entanglement of these things.

Li Hong drank tea silently and pondered his own problems.

Luoyang County Ya had a lifeless smell, which made him very uncomfortable. There can only be one explanation for this kind of lifelessness, that is, the atmosphere of the Luoyang County government is very bad, and none of the officials are willing to do things, and they are all abducting and deceiving the people.

From this point of view, the current behavior of the Luoyang County Ya also makes the Empress Wu very dissatisfied.

Because Luoyang is the foundation of the Empress Wu, how could she allow such a person to occupy such an important position?

So, is it the Empress Wu who wants to punish these two people with her own hands?

But she is already the queen's mother, and her power is on par with Gaozong, why doesn't she take action in person and dispose of these two people with her own hands?

Li Hong muttered in his heart, could it be that the strength behind these two people also made the Empress Wu very jealous? There are not many people who make Empress Wu jealous, even if Gaozong has to give her three points, who else makes Empress Wu so jealous?

Li Hong was confused, it seems that this question is not as simple as he thought! You can't make a hasty decision, you have to think about it slowly.

Just when Li Hong was thinking this, Yao Chong was brought to her.

Although Yao Chong had washed up and changed into clean clothes, his face was pale and his body was haggard, and he looked like a person who had been severely tortured.

Seeing Li Hong, Yao Chong was not surprised at all, he knew very well that he was arrested, and his sister would definitely go to beg Li Hong.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Yao Chong saluted Li Hong.

Li Hong nodded slightly and asked, "Can you still eat it?" ”

"It's nothing." Yao Chong replied.

"What's in mind now?" Li Hong asked with a smile, Yao Chong still had an angry backbone.

"Damn it!" Yao Chong squeezed out these two words from between his teeth. The county magistrate, county magistrate, and county lieutenant on the frightened side trembled for a moment. If the prince really listened to Yao Chong's words and killed the three of them, this would be...

It's just that now that the prince is talking to Yao Chong, they can't interject, so they can only be anxious on the sidelines.

"How to kill? Was it cut with a knife, or was there a crack in the car? Li Hong continued to ask.

Scare!

As soon as the county commander, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant were weak, they almost rolled off their chairs, what kind of rhythm is this? Could it be that the crown prince has already decided to execute the three of them? They had no suspicion that Li Hong would kill them, as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty today, and he had made such a great contribution, it was easy for the prince to kill them. Besides, the three of them are not clean when they serve in the Luoyang County Ya, as long as the prince investigates strictly, he will always find something, and it will be easier to kill them when the time comes.

"This—" Yao Chong hesitated a little.

After half a ring, he said, "You can't kill in vain, it's better to interrogate clearly, and punish by law, and when the time comes, those who can kill will be killed, and those who don't kill will be exiled." ”

"Count your mind not blinded by hatred." Li Hong was very satisfied with Yao Chong's answer.

For him, it's not difficult to kill someone, it's very simple. But there must be a basis for killing, otherwise it is indiscriminate killing. In ancient society, it was because of personal preferences to kill too much indiscriminately that the legal system was not perfect, and now that Li Hong lives in this era, he will not allow such a thing to happen again. It may take him a long, long time to do this, but he has the time, and he is not afraid to take his time.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yao Chong thanked Li Hong, he knew very well that if the prince didn't come forward today, he wouldn't be able to get out of prison at all, if he couldn't get out of prison within ten days, it was estimated that he would be tortured to death by the jailers in the prison, and even if their family had a little strength, it would be useless to do justice to him, everyone was dead, what could he do if he got justice?

"No thanks, let's go back, Yao Di is still waiting for you." Li Hong said.

Yao Chong took the order.

Li Hong got up and was about to leave, and the county commander, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant hurriedly got up to see each other off.

Walking to the door, Li Hong turned around and said, "You don't want to investigate your affairs strictly, but you won't ignore it, you know what you should do, right?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we know what to do."

"Your Highness, you old man, go slowly!"

"Poof—"

Chen Gong almost laughed out loud when he heard the last sentence, and Yao Chong also held back his strength to prevent himself from laughing.

Li Hong's face was a little ugly, what do you mean to call me an old man to walk slowly, am I old? However, Li Hong didn't bother with the county lieutenant who said this, but strode away.

Back in the house, Li Hong found that Yao Di had woken up and was waiting for him in the study. Yao Di was very happy to see his brother, and he cried when he fell into Yao Chong's arms. Li Hong smiled slightly on the side, and he found that Yao Di was a crying little girl.

Yao Di said a few words to Yao Chong, and then thanked Li Hong, Li Hong shook his head slightly and said, this is what she should do.

Yao Di wanted to say something but was stopped by Yao Chong, "Your Highness, today's great favor Yao Chong is remembered after all, Yao Chong's life will be His Highness in the future, and Yao Chong is willing to obey His Highness's dispatch." ”

"There's no need for that." Li Hong waved his hand and said, "Do what you have to do, don't care if Gu saved you this time, when you figure out what you want to do, then come to Chang'an City to find Gu, and then Gu will give you an official position and assign you tasks." ”

Yao Chong still wanted to speak, but Li Hong stopped him and said, "Your current experience is not enough, you have to walk and see more, and after you go back, read more books, walk more, think more, it's good for you." Lone will give you 10,000 yuan to spend, and then give you 300 books and a year's time, and you can go to Datang to look around! A year later, Lone is waiting for you in Chang'an City, and after you come, write a piece of experience and experience about your travels. ”

"This—" Yao Chong couldn't believe that Li Hong would say that.

"Lone really wants to go to Datang to walk around, want to see the people's livelihood, and the officialdom, but if you don't have time, you can only replace Lone, don't you want to?" Li Hong asked rhetorically. Seeing that Yao Chong was a little embarrassed, Li Hong smiled, "Of course, if you think about it carefully after you go back, you will know the deep meaning of being alone." ”

"No!"

Yao Chong thought about it and agreed to Li Hong's request.

In fact, he knew a little bit about the prince's thoughts, so he didn't refuse Li Hong.

Otherwise, no matter what Li Hong says, he may not be able to agree, because his name is Yao Chong.
