Chapter 151 Dilemma
Li Ke has no official position, let alone the right to restrain the Turks. Yugu murdered someone. He should have gone to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. Why did they come here to find him?
As soon as Li Ke heard the news, he smelled the conspiracy behind it.

Sure enough, when Li Ke rushed back to the gate of the mansion from the Qin mansion, through the darkening night, Li Ke could vaguely see the people gathered outside the gate of King Chu's mansion. If you look carefully, there might be hundreds of people .

In addition to the relatives of the dead scholar, these common people also had many passers-by who were incited to come here together.

"How long have they been waiting here?" Li Ke asked the guard who came to report.

The guard replied: "They have been waiting in front of the mansion gate for half an hour, and it seems that there are not as many as before. They must have left one after another when the villain reported the letter."

Li Ke went on to say: "Wang Fuwei didn't do anything."

The guard hurriedly said: "They are all ordinary people, and Wang Sima also gave orders, but no one has ever acted."

Li Ke was a little relieved when he heard the guard's answer.

These are the people who were instigated to come to him to make decisions. If the Wangfuwei led the way and hurt the people, maybe someone would spread rumors that Li Ke, the king of Chu, ordered to kill the people of the Tang Dynasty in order to protect the Turkic people. reputation is worse.

Li Ke saw these people, and the people naturally saw the carriage coming from afar.

"The king of Chu is back, the king of Chu is back." As soon as Li Ke's carriage appeared, someone in the crowd shouted, and the people who had gathered outside the door all leaned towards Li Ke's carriage.

"The only son in the family was murdered by a drunken Turkic man. Your Highness, please make the decision for the villain." Li Ke just opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, when an old woman in the crowd knelt down in front of Li Ke's carriage and bowed down.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Ke couldn't help frowning.

Yugu set up a murder by accident, which is a criminal case, so they can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, or Dali Temple, even the Ministry of War and Yushitai are still reasonable, but why did they gather outside his palace?
Of course, these words can only be thought by Li Ke himself. Since the people came to look for him, he naturally ignored the inconvenience and pushed them back.

So Li Ke got out of the carriage, helped up the old woman who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "Just now, the king is not in the mansion, and I don't know what happened. Could you explain it to the king carefully?"

The old woman stood up and said to Li Ke: "Returning to Your Highness, the old woman is originally a merchant in the west of the city, but my son is a scholar. Today, my son had a gathering with his classmates, but unexpectedly in the brothel because he accidentally bumped into a Turkic general, he was killed by the Turkic general." The general was pushed down the stairs and fell to his death. The old woman's family has been passed down for two generations, and there is only such an only son, but now he is killed, and I hope His Highness will make decisions for the old woman."

Li Ke looked down at the old woman, and asked: "There are many yamen in Chang'an City, why doesn't the old lady go to ask the people in the yamen to make decisions, but instead come to find the king?"

The old woman replied: "The old woman heard that the Turkic general is very powerful, and the ordinary people in the Yamen are afraid of his power and cannot move him. However, His Highness has always pleaded for the people and loved the people like a son, so the old woman came here to ask His Highness to be the master."

Listening to the old woman's words, Li Ke was already full of doubts.

According to what the old woman said, he is just an ordinary merchant in the west of the city. Since he is an ordinary merchant, he has never seen any big world, but just now in front of Li Ke, the dignified Prince Chu, the old woman spoke very well. It was clear, unhurried, as if it had been memorized earlier.

But even though Li Ke was puzzled, there was still no sign of strangeness on his face.

Li Ke said to both the old woman and the common people: "Although the king has no official position, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the king. However, the people in Chang'an are in trouble, and the king will never stand by. Just go to Dali Temple and explain this matter to Dali Temple Qing, if they don't handle it carefully, this king will go straight to the heaven to listen to the father."

This matter is very strange, Li Ke can naturally see it, but at this time he also has to express his position, whether it is a desire to set up or his reputation among the people of Chang'an is important, Li Ke has his own balance.

As a prince, Li Ke has already said what he said, and it is enough.

The old woman heard Li Kezhi's words, and hurriedly said: "The old woman thank Your Highness for your kindness."

Li Ke helped the old woman up, and said to the crowd behind him who came to petition together: "It's getting late, you go back to rest quickly, this matter is up to the king."

Li Ke has already agreed to this matter, and their goal has been achieved, so naturally they don't need to stay here anymore, and they all left one after another.

Seeing the crowd leave, Li Ke's face suddenly sank, and he said to the guards of the Wang's mansion beside him, "Go to the Cen's mansion immediately and invite the master here."

"No." The guard of Wang's mansion responded and rushed straight to Cen Wenwen's mansion.

It was already Xu time, and the sky was getting dark. Li Ke had never seen Cen Wenwen at this time before. Cen Wenwen heard Li Ke's news, and knew that he had something important to do, so he packed up and rushed to the Chu Palace.

Cen Wenwen was different from others, he never had to notify Li Ke when he came to see Li Ke, and went straight to Li Ke's inner courtyard.

"Did the guards of Wangfu tell Master Cen about the matter just now?" As soon as Cen Wenwen entered the inner courtyard, Li Ke was already waiting in the courtyard and asked.

Cen Wenwen said: "On the way here, the minister has already asked clearly."

Li Ke said: "Master Cen, what do you think of this matter?"

Cen Wenwen said: "This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness, it's just that someone wants to drag His Highness into it."

Li Ke said: "If it's just Yugushe, I'm fine. In the past, Yugushe didn't agree with me when I was in Mobei, and I often tripped me up. Even if I posted a post to Dali Temple, I wanted Dali Temple severely punishes Yugu Shi, and those Turkic people can’t blame me.”

There are many Turkic people who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty this time, but Li Ke really liked it. There were only a few people who wanted to win over, and the mediocre Yugushe was definitely not one of them.

Cen Wenwen frowned and said: "Yu Gu is not considered a person, and a mere Yu Gu set will naturally embarrass His Highness. But a few days ago, His Highness just won Zhi Si Si Li, and promised Zhi Si Si Li to pull him when necessary." The Turkic hand, and now something happened to Yugu, and I think there is another way to do this."

Li Ke said: "Master Cen is worried that the whole Turks will be affected through the Yugu design?"

Cen Wenwen said: "Yu Gushe is a member of the Ashina family, and is also a member of the Turkic royal family. His status among the Turkic people is not low. If someone intends to use it, it will not be difficult for the entire Turkic people to be affected."

Listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Li Ke also realized something. Although Li Ke despises Yugu's setting up a person, Li Ke intends to win over the Turkic people by wooing Zhishenli. If the fire really burns big Well, it can't be said that it will really affect all Turkic surrenders, and even Li Ke, who has a good relationship with Zhishisili.

Li Ke immediately said: "I will order people to go to Pingkangfang immediately, and we must find out the origin of the dead scholar."
