Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 280 Kill them all, you have the potential to be a profiteer

When Lu Chengyu saw the patrol officers from the Dali Temple and the numerous officials from the Ministry of Justice, he knew that he had been fooled this time.

Li Chengqian was willing to take this opportunity to lure them out, even at the risk of his own life.

In that case, what else is there to say?

The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, and there is only one way to go: death.

Led by Lu Chengyu, a group of Lu family remnants rushed towards Li Chengqian in a suicidal manner, but when they got close, they were killed on the spot by the guards.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look, "Where are the crossbowmen?"

Li Dao Zong said in a deep voice: "I have sent people over there, I don't think anyone will get away!"

At this time, a guard ran over in a hurry and said, "Your Highness, when we were ordered to capture the remnants of the Lu family, we encountered strong resistance. With the assistance of Captain Xue Li, we successfully killed them all."

Xue Li?

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows, and Li Daozong said softly: "Su Chen went to the palace yesterday, and I told him about this matter. I think Xue Li and others were arranged by Su Chen."

Li Chengqian nodded, "Where's Su Chen?"

"I don't know."

Li Dao Zong shook his head.

Li Chengqian frowned, but heard bursts of shouting and killing not far away, and asked: "What's going on over there? Why hasn't it been resolved yet? Let's go and take a look!"

"Your Highness, I'll take the men over."

Li Dao Zong reminded, "Just in case."

Li Chengqian nodded hesitantly. He didn't want to be like Li You and leave his life to others when it was absolutely safe.

Even though he was wearing soft armor, it would still be painful to be hit by an arrow.

Moreover.

There was no helmet on his head.

Li Dao Zong waved his hand and said, "Master Sun, I leave this to you."

"it is good."

Sun Fujia responded and arranged for people from the Dali Temple to deal with the corpse on the ground.

Li Daozon brought a group of elite soldiers to the outside of the shop, and saw corpses lying on the ground in all directions.

Lu Fei brought a dozen guards with him and killed the remaining seven or eight people one by one.

"Lu Fei?"

"I've met the prince."

Li Dao Zong nodded and looked around, but he couldn't see Su Chen. "Where's Su Chen? Is he okay?"

Just as Lu Fei was about to speak, he heard Su Chen's voice coming from the second floor.

"I'm fine. Please come up and talk to me, Your Majesty."

Li Daozon pointed at the corpse on the ground, and the guards who came with him came forward in groups of two, carrying the corpse away.

Going up to the second floor, seeing Su Chen sitting by the window, Li Dao Zong said with a smile: "You still have the leisure to enjoy the scenery."

Su Chen: "Whether you have time or not, the result is the same."

"But, Your Majesty, don't you think that there is something wrong with this matter?"

Li Dao Zong sat directly opposite Su Chen, "You mean to say that the number of people coming to kill you is almost catching up with Lu Chengyu and the others."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty has seen it."

Li Dao Zong: "You are stirring up trouble in Chang'an City. There are many people who want to kill you. It is normal for some people to take advantage of the situation."

Su Chen nodded, "But this time we didn't care."

If Li Chengqian hadn't set the trap by himself, he wouldn't have attracted all of Su Chen's attention.

Now that someone is taking advantage of the situation, Su Chen has become more vigilant.

There are really a lot of people who want him dead.

Li Dao Zong: "They wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they didn't expect that they would send these people to die for no reason."

"Have you noticed the identities of these people just now?"

"Never."

Su Chen sighed, "When these people saw me, they shouted and called for killing without saying a word."

"Obviously they had already explained it before they took action."

"To gather dozens of death warriors in such a short time, I'm afraid ordinary people don't have the ability to do so, except for the remnants of the Lu family who have been keeping an eye on us."

Li Dao Zong: "It shouldn't be him."

"How does the prince know who I'm talking about?"

"hehe."

Li Dao Zong smiled and said, "If he had intervened, there wouldn't have been more than a dozen crossbows shooting at the prince."

Although the King of Wei was demoted to a prince of a county, the power he holds in his hands is still not to be underestimated.

If the King of Wei gets involved, just by relying on his status, he can fully arm the remnants of the Lu family.

There is absolutely no need for such a reckless head-on fight. Just having a crossbow in each hand will be enough to overwhelm them.

Su Chen knocked on the table, "Does the prince have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Li Dao Zong shook his head. "You still need to investigate this matter yourself. My duty is to protect the safety of the prince and capture the remnants of the Lu family."

Su Chen nodded, "I understand."

"Since you're okay, I'll leave first."

Li Dao Zong smiled and stood up, "If you have time, come to my house more often."

Su Chen nodded with a smile, "Sure."

Sun Qiang looked at Li Dao Zong who was leaving in surprise, and said softly: "Sir, King Jiangxia's attitude towards you seems to have changed a lot."

Su Chen: "Very normal."

"Call Lu Fei over."

"it is good."

Sun Qiang went downstairs and brought Lu Fei up.

"Son."

"Check the identities of these people. I don't believe there are no flaws in them."

"it is good!"

……

The news of the prince's assassination spread that day.

The people of Chang'an City were surprised and crazy about the remnants of the Lu family, but they were also glad that the prince was well prepared!
Otherwise, the prince would be in danger!

Once the prince is assassinated, the enlightenment of new learning will be greatly affected!
This is a situation that many people do not want to see.

Besides.

The news about the sand and stone construction of the Enlightenment School also spread along with the news of the prince's assassination.

The people who were originally resistant and skeptical about building houses with sandstone became more curious about it after learning that the prince personally ordered people to hit the wall with wood and there was no shaking. "Is building houses with sandstone reliable?"

"It should be reliable, right? The Crown Prince has personally inspected it. If it's not reliable, wouldn't that be a slap in the Crown Prince's face?"

"I heard the Ministry of Works is busy building brick kilns!"

"Brick kiln? They make green bricks?"

"No, no, no. I heard that they are going to make red bricks this time. Houses built with these bricks are definitely not less solid than those built with blue bricks, and the price is very cheap!"

"real or fake?"

"Hey, why would I lie to you? Once the brick kiln is built, the rest of the school will be built with red bricks. Besides, County Commandant Du He knows that they have built a clothing workshop using the sandstone construction method!"

"..."

The newspaper office had not taken any action yet, but the news of the renovation of the house with sand, stone and bricks spread as the prince inspected the school.

After hearing about these things, Su Chen felt a little surprised and guessed that it might be the news that came from the Ministry of Industry.

But it doesn’t matter.

"Sir, those people don't have anything to prove their identity."

Lu Fei came to Su Chen with a serious face, "These people are different from the remnants of the Lu family. Before they take action, they should take down everything that can prove their identity."

Su Chen pondered and asked, "Which groups of people have been active in the city recently?"

Lu Fei pondered and shook his head, "I didn't pay attention to this. I'll order someone to investigate."

Su Chen nodded, "Be more discreet and don't let anyone see you."

"Since these people acted in secret, it is enough to prove that they are cautious. If you can't find any information, don't worry."

Lu Fei: "Understood."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Have the guys' holiday money and gifts been delivered to their homes?"

Lu Fei nodded, "They have all been delivered. Many people are grateful to you. Of course, there are also many brothers who think that your behavior is not very good."

"Oh?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked over.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "They think that it would be fine for you to just send the gift over. It would be more appropriate to give them the silver."

Su Chen was immediately amused, "I think these people are selfish and want to spend the money on a life of luxury, right?"

Lu Fei: "That's true. I scolded them at the time. They were just thinking about getting into the crotch instead of enjoying such a good life!"

Su Chen smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Tell them that during the Chinese New Year, I will prepare a red envelope of ten taels of silver for each of them, so that they can have some private money to play with."

Lu Fei: "Sir, is this too lenient?"

Su Chen: "It's just some personal belongings. I just want them to know that if they follow me, Su Chen, they will never have to worry about food and drink."

"Go."

Lu Fei nodded and left.

Sun Qiang said cheerfully, "It is a blessing from their previous life that they can follow you, young master."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you received any news recently?"

Sun Qiang thought for a moment, "There is no big news, but there is news from Fan Yang that Yan Hongxin was chopped to death by Lu Chengqing."

"Oh?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Yan Hongxin a confidant of the King of Qi? Why was he chopped off?"

Sun Qiang said cheerfully: "Not only that, Lu Chengqing chopped it right in front of the King of Qi after he woke up."

"But the specific details are unknown."

Yan Hongxin failed to protect the King of Qi, which almost caused the King of Qi to die in Fan Yang. This alone was enough to kill Yan Hongxin several times.

But what is strange is that Lu Chengqing actually chopped Yan Hongxin to death in front of King Qi. How could he not give King Qi face?
Li Chengqian would not do this, because he is still creating the appearance of harmonious brothers.

Then.

Is it the one from Jiucheng Palace?

Is this a reminder to the King of Qi not to act recklessly?

At this time, the doorman came in and said, "Sir, Duke Du sent a message that the cotton-padded jacket has been made. Please come over and take a look."

"understood."

Su Chen stretched lazily and stood up, "Let's go and see the quality of the cotton-padded clothes made by Du He."

This is a big deal and we can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Sun Qiang nodded, prepared the carriage, and took Su Chen to Du He's workshop.

Du He, who had received the news, came over quickly and looked Su Chen up and down. "I just heard that the prince went to the Enlightenment School today to set up a trap, and you also went there and were besieged."

Su Chen smiled and said, "I am also the one who set up the game, so naturally I have to show my face."

"It's just that those people underestimated King Jiangxia's deployment and took the initiative to fall into the trap one by one."

"It's okay."

Du He smiled, and pulled Su Chen to the temporary storage room for cotton-padded clothes. He picked up a cotton-padded coat and handed it to Su Chen, "Look, this is what our female workers just made."

At just one glance, Su Chen felt that they used too much cotton.

I took it in my hand and felt it carefully. As expected, this cotton coat weighs at least one kilogram.

"Too much cotton!"

Su Chen frowned and said, "In this case, the cotton sent by Roshan can't make many clothes."

"No more, no more."

Du He said with a smile, "Brother Su, what you have in your hand is top-quality goods."

"Ok?"

Su Chen seemed to be thinking, "Leave it for the prince?"

Du He nodded: "Not bad."

"Because everyone's skills are not yet proficient, we will practice with these cotton-padded jackets first, and then reduce the materials of the cotton-padded jackets tomorrow."

"In order to ensure the quality of cotton-padded clothes, I specially ordered people to purchase some cotton and reed fluff, and mixed some of them with the cotton to keep warm while ensuring that the cost is not too high."

Good guy.

You have more and more potential to become a profiteer.

Su Chen gave Du He a thumbs up and said, "Good idea. Also, you can mark it on these cotton coats."

Du He: "Brother Su, what you mean is that pure cotton clothes are one category, and those mixed with reed fluff and high cotton are another category?"

Su Chen: "That's right. In this way, not only will everyone know the material of the cotton-padded jacket, but they will also be able to accept the corresponding price."

Du He's eyes lit up, "Brother Su, this method is amazing!"

In this way, when people buy cotton-padded clothes, they will already have a rough idea and will not make a scene outside the store because the warming effect is not good.

Su Chen reminded: "After they become proficient in the process of making clothes, let them make a few decent styles for the nobles in the palace."

Du He grinned, "Got it!"

"Come on, I'll show you our newly built workshop."
