However, Li Tai was not happy to give up such a good opportunity.

Zhang Qiuhua is currently a member of the East Palace, and it is completely reasonable to be sent by the prince to assassinate him.

"Lord Wei, how can I believe that what you say is right?"

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "King Wei, although I don't dare to disclose the relationship between you and me, but the relationship between me and you is always clear, can you harm you?" ”

He couldn't harm him, but what he was worried about was that if he lost such an opportunity, would there be another one?

"Okay, you can't be wrong to listen to me."

Wei Zheng said that he ordered his entourage to dispose of Zhang Qiuhua's body, emphasizing that it must be kept secret.

Although Li Tai was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.

I thought, with Fang Zhuzhu here, are you afraid that you won't have a chance in the future?

Ten days later, the group arrived in the Western Capital.

Zhao Hua, the assassin of the Western Capital Mansion, was a man of about fifty years old.

He had already gotten the news that Wei Zheng and Li Tai, the king of Wei, were going to the Western Capital Mansion, and Zhao Hua saw that someone from the imperial court was coming, and that enthusiasm made Li Tai a little overwhelmed.

"The King of Wei is coming, and the people of the Western Capital Mansion have a light on their faces."

Li Tai said: "Lord Zhao doesn't have to pat me on the back, this time it is mainly Lord Wei who comes to deal with government affairs, and I just accompany him." ”

Zhao Hua said: "The western capital is sparsely populated, the governance is more chaotic, and there are rogues who disturb the people from time to time, they go out day and night, and they are helpless in the next, and now they can get the help of Lord Wei and the King of Wei, and they are very happy in their hearts." ”

Wei Zheng said coldly: "Lord Zhao, it's just a state capital, are you so embarrassed?" If the emperor wants to govern a country, how can he be in an orderly manner? ”

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is naturally very compared. I have heard for a long time that King Wei is young and promising, and I am very ashamed. I have prepared a room for you at the yamen of the government, please go and rest, and how about discussing business tomorrow? ”

Li Tai said: "No need, let's get down to business first." ”

"How about you go and rest with your entourage?"

Li Tai then instructed Wang Xiaoyang and Zhou Ruhua to enter the inner court with the government officials.

Zhao Hua recounted in detail the daily deeds of the Liukou, saying that dozens of people often haunted the western capital, robbed the women of good families, and stole the people's property, causing panic in the city.

"What about the servants of your house? Are they all vegetarians? ”

Zhao Hua was very aggrieved and said: "Although these government officials have some skills, they are not their opponents. Yesterday another official died at their hands. If there is any way, I will not report it to the court. ”

After speaking, Zhao Hua paused and said, "It's just that those people are very good at kung fu, and they are coming and going in a hurry, you only brought a few servants with you, and you didn't bring soldiers and horses, so how can you be their opponents?" ”

Seeing Zhao Hua's worried face.

Wei Zheng said: "Lord Zhao, we are not here to fight, why are we leading soldiers and horses?" I think that the reason why there are such people must be related to your governance. People often say that the government forces the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel, if these people can have no worries about food and clothing, will they still do such a thing? ”

Zhao Hua was speechless for a while.

"Well, let's rest today, and then prescribe the right medicine tomorrow after our unannounced visit? It is often said that only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one survive a hundred battles. ”

Zhao Hua said very humbly: "This is very good, this is very good." ”

The two entered the inner house, filled their stomachs and rested.

This night, Zhou Ruhua slept with him.

After all, this is not Chang'an City, so there is no need to pretend.

"You're not afraid of your father?"

Zhou Ruhua said coquettishly: "What are you afraid of him doing?" He's always been in favor of me doing that. ”

"No, I don't think he has a good attitude towards me, and he works against me everywhere. d”

"King Wei, you have misunderstood my father. He is loyal to Datang, and naturally has no outside heart for you. ”

Hopefully, as she said.

After a few rounds of rejoicing, the two soon fell asleep.

Going out with a woman is quite pleasant.

It's better to be a prince, when you think about your previous life, you can only be miserable when you mix it up.

Zhou Ruhua's watery tenderness strengthened his determination to take the position. Even if it's not for yourself, at least it's for Zhou Ruhua.

The next day, Li Tai and Wei Zheng changed into ordinary clothes and came to the street.

There are many pedestrians on the street, but they are all sad.

"My lord, what's wrong with these people? All of them look like they're in pain? We accuse our country every day of being a country where the people live and work in peace and contentment, but in fact we are afraid that it is only a flower in the water. ”

Wei Zheng stopped him and said, "Be quiet, there is a fried fruit seller over there, let's pretend to buy it and talk to him." ”

"Okay, let's go."

Wei Zheng walked over first, took out the consistent money and said, "Little brother, come to the fruit of the consistent money." ”

"Okay, you don't look like a local with an accent."

Li Tai accosted: "Good eyesight." Big brother, there is something unclear below, please give me advice. ”

"If you have something to ask, you don't need to be wrinkled like this, I can't adapt to this."

Li Tai coughed twice and asked in a low voice: "Why are all the people doing business on the street frowning?" Why are you unhappy about doing business and making money to support your family? ”

"Hey, you don't know, those of us who do business have to hand over the same money to the government every day as tax money, and we don't earn much, and then hand it over to the official talisman, can we make a profit?"

Wei Zheng asked with a black face: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, it is said that the imperial court is coming recently, and Zhao Tingshi reduced taxes and let us open in order to decorate the façade, can everyone be happy?"

Li Tai was angry for a moment and said, "Big brother, won't you?" I think that Zhao Tingshi is a very good person, he can't do such a thing, right? ”

"Why not? Those of us who do small business dare not speak out. ”

Wei Zheng and Li Tai looked at each other, it turned out that it was the government's fault that so much happened in the Western Capital Mansion.

"Thank you. We don't want the fruit. ”

After learning the truth, the two of them still have an appetite to eat.

But the guy regretted it: "Why are you like this? If it weren't for the sake of business, I wouldn't be so talkative. ”

"Big brother, I don't want anything, and I don't want money, right?"

The guy immediately became anxious: "How can I charge you money if I don't buy something?" I can't take advantage of such a bargain. ”

Li Tai pushed back the hand he handed the money and said, "It's not easy for people to do small business, and we are not short of this money." ”

After speaking, he pulled Wei Zheng and left.

Wei Zheng didn't speak, and his gloomy face was very scary.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

"King Wei, what do you say you want to do with Zhao Hua, a dog official? He must have relied on the high mountain emperor to be so bold. ”

Li Tai said, "Why would an adult ask me? I think it's better to wait for us to report to the emperor and wait for the court's treatment. Don't forget the purpose of our trip, it's not good to take care of one or the other. ”

Wei Zheng came back to his senses in an instant and said loudly: "Yes, you are right, it is important to do the right thing." ”

At this time, they heard the sound of carrier pigeons chirping, and the two looked up to see that it was the first bird of the Tang Dynasty, "Li Angel", hovering above Li Tai's head.

What's wrong? A sense of foreboding arose.
