The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 242 The Duel of the Little Kingdom
"Who am I? It turns out to be Zhang Liang's son. No wonder he dares to show off so much." Li Dezheng said with a smile.

"I said the second child. If I remember correctly, there seems to be a man named Zhang Shenji who was sent to the execution ground by His Royal Highness in the West City of Chang'an City." Li Dejian said to Li Deju with a smile
"Brother said I know about this matter. It is said that the boy and his godmother were not clear about it." Li Dezheng nodded and said to Li Dejian.

Zhang Shenwei couldn't help but turn pale, because his father Zhang Liang was cuckolded by his godson.Although it is already well-known, the Zhang family does not want to hear it.

So I saw Zhang Shenwei gritted his teeth and looked at Li Dejian and Li Dejiang.And asked: "It seems that you two also have some background, how about showing it to open my eyes?"

"My father's surname is Li, and he was the Duke of Wei at that time. It shouldn't be much worse than your father, right?" Li Deju said proudly.

If it was the past, the two brothers would never use his father's name to make a fuss.But now that Li Chengqian is cultivating them to become prodigal sons, cheating is naturally indispensable.

When Zhang Shenwei heard that the other party was Li Jing's son, the arrogance on his face naturally subsided a bit.Naturally speaking more politely.

I only heard Zhang Shenwei say to Li Dejian: "Since we are Duke Wei's son, we can be regarded as fellow-men. How can you pretend you didn't see what happened today?"

"What's so difficult about it, I really don't remember what happened just now." Li Dejian said with an indifferent expression.

This couldn't help but make Zhang Shen slightly smile, just about to say thank you, but Li Dejian said: "But now I'm going to buy this little girl, what does Mr. Zhang think?"

After Zhang Shenwei heard it, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Li Dejian with unfriendly eyes.

And he said: "Since the two of you insist on wading through this muddy water, then I have no choice but to be polite. As the saying goes, first come first, then come first. This little girl was the first to be seen by me."

"So bury his father and bring him back to the mansion. Naturally, I should do it. I won't bother you two brothers."

"Since you said that this is a kind of business, then naturally the highest price will get it. I am willing to pay ten pennies to bury the deceased." Li Dejian said with a smile.

"As long as your Duke of Wei's mansion has money, I will not be able to get it from the Duke of Feng's mansion. I'll give you [-] Guans, and I'll find him a treasured geomantic land by the way." Zhang Shenwei said with a look of disdain.

Naturally, Li Dejian raised the price again, and Zhang Shenwei naturally would not back down.So there was a stalemate like this, and more than 100 yuan has been paid out in the future.

……

"His Royal Highness, should we let them continue to pinch like this? I guess it may cost a thousand guan in the end." Chang Sun Chong said to Li Chengqian in a low voice.

It turned out that not long after Li Dejian and Li Deju left the East Palace, Li Chengqian left the East Palace with his eldest Sun Chong.And booked a seat in the teahouse opposite the woman who sold her body to bury her father.

So now Li Chengqian, Changsun Chong, and his newly appointed entourage are satisfied. (Before Li Zhenying's identity was revealed, she was called Yixin.) The three were watching what happened on the street through the window of the teahouse.

At this time, not only Chang Sun Chong was worried about the higher price, but also the satisfaction around Li Chengqian.Because he knows his two elder brothers too well.

Although they are usually small princes, Li Jing is very strict with them.It is estimated that the two of them will not be able to spend ten pennies together.

If Zhang Shenwei suddenly gave up bidding now, I'm afraid his two brothers would be ashamed.So naturally, Xinxin was very anxious.

So he opened his mouth and said to Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness, I think you should come forward. Otherwise, no matter which side loses face, it will not be so good?"

"Don't worry, Zhang Shenwei will definitely compromise in the end." Li Chengqian said to Xin with a smile.

As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he heard Zhang Shenwei from downstairs saying to Li Dejian: "The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. We will meet again in the future."

After Zhang Shenwei finished speaking, he turned around and led the people away.At this time, the two brothers Li Dejian and Li Deju were full of pride.

They have never spent money lavishly since they were young, but now they spend 180 guan at a time.It can be said that it was the first time that the eldest girl got on the sedan chair.

But the next thing came, and it was not as expected.My brothers only have a few pennies in total, which is a bit embarrassing.

Li Dejian said to Li Deju in a low voice: "I'll wait here, you go back and ask your father for some money."

"Brother, aren't you talking stupidly? Going to ask Dad for money is no different from asking for a beating." Li Dezheng said with his head shaking like a rattle.

"Are you stupid? You wouldn't tell Dad that we did it according to His Royal Highness's orders to save the third child. So it's not that our brothers and Dad are asking for money, but His Royal Highness needs us to ask for money." Li Dejian said to Li Dejian that he hated iron but steel
"How could I forget this, our two brothers are now ordered to lose money. Although it is not the emperor's imperial decree, but at least it is the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Li Dezheng said with a smile.

……

After Li Dejian left, Li Dejian said to the woman: "Don't worry, I have asked my second brother to go back to collect the money. You can bury your father now."

The woman gave a deep salute to Li Dejian in gratitude, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. Li Xiaoguo, for your help."

"My father is an ordinary citizen, and he can be buried in a thin-skinned coffin. So even if Mr. Li Xiaoguo doesn't pay so much money, I'm still willing to be a slave and a servant girl."

"How can it be done? The words of a man are splashed. Besides, our Duke of Wei's mansion lacks everything but money." Li Dejian said with a proud face.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "No wonder people are willing to waste money and spend money. It turns out that spending money is really cool."

At this moment, Zhang Shenwei actually brought someone back again.And as he walked, he pointed and said something.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Shenwei brought people to Li Dejian, and said to Li Dejian arrogantly: "Mr. Li Xiaoguo, I'm afraid you won't be able to take them away today."

"What's the matter, did you find a helper after such a short while? Is Mr. Zhang going to continue to increase the money, or is he going to snatch people from me directly?" Li Dejian said to Zhang Shenwei with a disdainful expression on his face.

"I'm not as leisurely as you are. She and her father are the most wanted criminals in the Yamen. The person next to me is the magistrate of Chang'an County. He is here to arrest criminals from the court." Zhang Shen looked at Li Dejian proudly and said.
