Chapter 136: May Your Highness's Wish Endure Forever
Dali Temple Prison, Heavenly Prison, where felons are held, and a total of 127 members of the Zheng family are all here, each in different cells, but all in the same room, of course, excluding slaves and the like.
They had already received the holy decree read by Li Shimin, no one spoke, some were just the sound of sobbing from different cells, the eldest one, and the patriarch of this sect, Zheng Rong, was seventy-three years old, his hands were trembling, and he was holding the holy decree in his hand, and he didn't know what he was trembling about.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the silent and cold cell, and soon the jailer outside walked in with someone, and brought the person directly to Zheng Rong.
Zheng Rong raised his head and looked outside, Li Ke didn't hide his identity at all, but the two people behind him were shrouded in robes, and they couldn't see it. He was followed by a jailer.
"Is His Royal Highness the King of Shu coming to see my prisoner?" Zheng Rong's hands suddenly stopped shaking, he looked at Li Ke with a cold face, and tried to straighten his old body.
"Zheng Lin, where is Zheng Mei?" Li Ke didn't bother to talk nonsense at all, and asked directly.
Zheng Rong was stunned for a moment, "In ...... Over there. After a long time, Zheng Rong's lips suddenly trembled, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to a cell in front of Li Ke's left.
Li Ke walked there directly with his legs raised, "Open the door." ”
The jailer in front of Li Ke immediately lowered his head and opened the door, and inside this cell were women and children.
"Zheng Lin, Zheng Mei?" Li Ke asked again.
In the crowd, two young women suddenly realized something, and hurriedly lifted their clothes, revealing a child less than two months old and a child less than six months old.
"Hand it over." Li Ke spit out three words in his mouth.
The two women quickly stood up, ran directly in this direction, ran to Li Ke's side, and handed out the two babies in their arms, a man and a woman, with trembling hands, Li Ke did not answer, Yang Anning and Yang Li behind him each reached out to take a child, and then wrapped them in their arms with robes.
After doing all this, Li Ke turned around and left, and he didn't even look at those eight or nine-year-old children.
With a "bang", after Li Ke left, the jailer directly closed the cell door behind him, and the sound of a woman crying came from inside, as for why she cried, I'm afraid only they know it.
Passing by the prison where Zheng Rong and the others were, Zheng Rong opened his shriveled lips and wanted to say something, but Li Ke didn't even stop at all, but walked directly to the outside of the cell.
Seeing Li Ke cross their backs, Zheng Rong suddenly trembled and knelt down directly, lying on the ground.
All the other Zheng clan members knelt down in unison.
Zheng Rong's old voice sounded loudly behind him: "May Your Highness's wish last forever!" ”
"May Your Highness's wish endure forever!" Uniform voices, both men and women.
Hearing these voices, Li Ke stopped his steps, and then said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, if I die, there will be countless me, no matter a hundred years, a thousand years later, there will always be someone who can do it." ”
After speaking, Li Ke walked out directly with his legs raised.
The people of the Zheng family were still kneeling there, constantly chanting the words just now, "May Your Highness's wish last forever."
The heavy heavenly gate of "Bang Dang" closed again, as if separating the two worlds.
Out of Dali Temple, Chang Lin waited outside, he didn't say anything, just silently watched the two women who followed Li Ke board a carriage.
"Chang Nei, you can go back, I don't have anything to do here." Li Ke said lightly.
"Yes!" Chang Lin nodded slightly and arched his hand, the baby in Yang Anning's arms at this moment didn't know if it was because there was no familiar smell, and suddenly cried, and a loud cry came out of the carriage.
Yang Anning raised his head a little nervously and looked outside, but he was blocked by the curtain and couldn't see anything, but outside Li Ke arched his hand to Chang Lin with a comfortable face, and said with a self-deprecating face: "Heh, it's a big voice." Let's go. ”
"Your Highness, go slowly." Chang Lin's face did not change color, and he arched his hand.
In the Shu Palace, Chang'an City, back at home, Yang Anning and Yang Li looked at Li Ke with some apprehension, in their opinion, this is a fish out of the prison...... Isn't this looking for your own death?
"See what I'm doing? Tian Meng. Li Ke glanced at the two of them with a smile.
"Yes." Tian Meng immediately bent down and said.
"Go to two ordinary families who often ask for children, secretly put them at the door, give 2 pieces of money, remember to change the cloth wrapped in the child to linen, and don't leave any information." Li Ke waved his hand and explained.
"Yes." Tian Meng immediately nodded in agreement, and the two maids behind him walked out and took the two children from Yang Anning and Yang Li's arms, turned around and left here directly.
"Your Highness." Yang Anning hugged him for a while, and he was somewhat reluctant.
"What? If you want to have children, pick a time to take the three of them to His Royal Highness's house, it's not that I don't have that ability. Li Ke glared at her.
Yang Anning immediately lowered her head in shame, she didn't dare to answer this, she knew that His Royal Highness was not something that a woman like her could hope for.
Li Ke was a little disappointed, I thought you would agree, hey.
"Your Highness, what should I do with the two million yuan sent by the Zheng family? They said they would be delivered in three days. Tian Meng said in a low voice.
Li Ke smiled, this is really a good day, ask over there, send money here.
"Accept it, take it all. It won't be long before this matter will be over, and since they dare to send it, I will dare to accept it. Li Ke said lightly.
"Yes!" Tian Meng bowed his head and said, "In addition, the Taiyuan Wang clan has a gold membership in our mall, originally they wanted to run two, but Your Highness, you said that one family can only run one, and the Zhaojun Li family, Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Fanyang Lu family, Xingyang Zheng family all have a membership." ”
"Got it." Li Ke waved his hand lazily, what's the matter, His Royal Highness is asking you for protection money? One by one, he is not interested, if the money is his, he is still excited, but unfortunately not.
"There are also some big families who come to handle membership, but they are mainly silver members." Tian Meng said in a low voice.
"How much money did you charge?" Li Ke is a little curious, although the number of members has increased recently, it is actually a small fight, and this time there is a big wave.
"Not counting the two million guan given by the Zheng family in Xingyang, a total of 4.82 million guan was collected, counting the previous Li family and Li Shiji's family in Longxi, as well as some other members, a total of 10.12 million guan." Tian Meng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this number was too amazing.
"Yo! Yes, if you add it up, it is more than 12 million, which is more than Datang's annual income last year. Li Ke teased, hey, no wonder Lao Ma said, I don't like money, I don't have any feelings about money, and now Li Ke doesn't have any feelings about money.
Of course, strictly speaking, this money is not Li Ke's, it is just in his hands, and it is impossible for him to touch this money, and what belongs to Li Ke is only hundreds of thousands of yuan.
