Chapter 107 Yes, I betrayed you! [Please subscribe]

"This"

Liu Li looked embarrassed.

He naturally knew that what Ma Zhou said was a bit ridiculous.

But there is no way. They have solid evidence. Even if you know that you have been tricked, you have no way to defend yourself.

"Well, Boss Ma, can you be flexible with the compensation? Aren't you going to do business in Jiangling? If you offend everyone in Jiangling, wouldn't it be..."

Although Liu Li did not finish his words and spoke very tactfully, Ma Zhou still understood that things should not be done too drastically.

He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Li Chengqian, bowed and said, "I dare to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to make the decision for me!"

"hehe."

Li Chengqian smiled, then looked around at everyone: "Do you all think I can make this decision? Are you convinced?"

Everyone looked at each other, shouted in unison, and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Your Highness, please make the decision for us! We are wholeheartedly convinced!"

Waves of sound rose and fell one after another, like mountains roaring and the sea tsunami.

Pei Xuan and Zhang Ping looked at each other, their faces pale.

What does it mean that a leaf blocks the view of Mount Tai?

That’s it!

The more they underestimated Li Chengqian before, the more painful the slap in the face they received now.

The more arrogant they were towards the prince before, the more bitter the consequences will be now.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian used just one trick to transfer the territory they had managed for more than ten years to another owner.

Horror!
It’s chilling!

"call"

Li Chengqian took a deep breath, and the lofty ambitions in his heart were all in sight at this moment.

He and Ma Zhou exchanged a silent glance, then he said calmly, "Since the people have petitioned me to make the decision, I will make it for you today!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Liu Li and said solemnly:

"Liu Changshi, give them a written agreement. Everyone involved in this matter must sign and seal it, acknowledging the debt and returning it at a later date!"

"This"

Liu Li was slightly stunned and could not help but ask, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what do you mean by choosing a date to return it?"

"hehe."

Li Chengqian smiled: "If you have money, return it. If you don't have money, just..."

Having said this, he drew out a long note and then looked around at everyone present.

Everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats.

Especially the common people like Gou San and Liu Wu, they were all thirsty and looked at Li Chengqian eagerly.

Until someone couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "What should we do if we have no money, Your Highness?"

"Hahaha--!"

Li Chengqian suddenly threw his head back and laughed, then said loudly: "If you don't have money, just wait until you have money and pay it back!"

sensation!

The whole audience was shocked!

Countless people stood up in shock. They never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so kind!
But not everyone had the same idea as the common people. The heads of the four powerful families, as well as Pei Xuan, Zhang Ping and others who had reacted, all looked at Li Chengqian in astonishment.

They never expected that Li Chengqian would do this.

Return at a later date!

It seems flexible, but in fact he has their handle firmly in his hands!

From now on, their fate will be in the hands of Li Chengqian!
If Ma Zhou asked Li Chengqian to take charge in order to win over the people of Jiangling, then the decision to return the money at a later date was to trap the people of Jiangling.

Cruel!

So cruel!

How could someone so young come up with such a cruel and vicious plan?!
"Hahaha!"

Inside the Jiangling government office, Li Yuan laughed heartily.

Although he had witnessed Li Chengqian's vicious schemes more than once, every time he saw it, he felt amazed and thought that his grandson was invincible.

This feeling is simply not too good.

Because the more powerful Li Chengqian is, the easier it is for their plan to succeed.

He was now eager to return to Chang'an and take revenge on Li Shimin.

"Cough cough."

Seeing Li Yuan getting more and more complacent with his laughter, Li Chengqian couldn't help but cough twice and reminded him, "Grandpa, don't be too happy too soon. We haven't completely controlled Jiangling yet!"

"Uh,"

Li Yuan's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Li Chengqian with some doubt, saying, "Are you worried that Pei Xuan, Zhang Ping and the others will not accept it?"

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Although they have entered the game, they are not fully involved, so..."

"Your Highness, Governor Pei, and Commander-in-Chief Zhang request an audience!"

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, Du Caigan walked in.

Li Yuan looked at him and said, "Do I need to avoid him?"

"Need not!"

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "They will know about Grandpa's visit to Jiangling sooner or later. There's no point in hiding it."

"and."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile slyly: "With Grandpa here, maybe he can make them completely convinced!"

"You want to use me again!"

"We are grandfather and grandson, what are you talking about using? It hurts our relationship so much!"

Li Yuan smiled noncommittally, then waved his hand and said, "Let them in!"

"Yes!"

Du Caigan responded and quickly brought Pei Xuan and Zhang Ping in.

The two men's faces were ashen, as if they were owed millions.

"Your Highness! We need an explanation!"

Pei Xuan shouted in a deep voice as soon as he entered the door.

“The Emperor!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Li Yuan sitting next to Li Chengqian, and his pupils suddenly shrank. But then he heard Li Yuan say in a calm tone: "Pei Jiu, are you doing well in Jiangling? Pei San often mentions you to me!"

"I"

Pei Xuan was stunned, his mind went blank.

He is Pei Ji's cousin, the ninth child in the family, while Pei Ji is the third child.

Therefore, people who are close to them usually address them according to their ranking.

But he never expected that Li Yuan would appear here.

He reacted in a split second before quickly kneeling and bowing to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, Pei Xuan, pays homage to the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Yuan smiled faintly, but did not let him get up from the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, then realized that Zhang Ping was still standing there in a daze. He quickly reached out and pulled down his clothes, whispering, "Hurry up and salute the emperor!"

"Ah? Oh oh oh."

Zhang Ping took a split second to react, then bowed and said, "Your Highness, I, Zhang Ping, the Governor of Jingzhou, pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor!"

"Well, Zhang Ping, I've heard of you. You are Xu Shao's son-in-law. I remember that Xu Shao died of illness on the way to attack Jingzhou in the fourth year of Wude. Now that you are the governor of Jingzhou, Xu Shao can be said to know about it in the afterlife!" Li Yuan nodded with a smile.

Zhang Ping bowed again, "I am honored that the Supreme Emperor remembers my father-in-law!"

"hehe."

Li Yuan smiled and said jokingly, "I didn't inform you that Cheng Qian and I were coming to Jiangling this time because we were afraid of causing you trouble. I hope you won't blame me."

Swish!
Pei Xuan and the other man immediately broke out in cold sweat.

Li Yuan said this with a smile, but this smile was chilling to them.

Although Li Yuan is no longer the ruling emperor, his appearance here is enough to make people feel cold.

Originally, they realized that Li Chengqian did not have any military tokens and was just bluffing. Now, when they saw Li Yuan, they realized that Li Chengqian might not need military tokens to mobilize troops, but only need to summon those who are loyal to Li Yuan.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Yuzhou near Jingzhou.

The newly appointed governor of Yuzhou was a loyal follower of Li Yuan.

So, they are now extremely embarrassed and don’t know what to say.

But their silence does not mean that Li Chengqian will not speak.

But Li Chengqian said coldly, "You two gentlemen came to see me, are you asking me to give you an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan and the other man looked at each other, and then Pei Xuan spoke first, "Your Highness's plan is brilliant, and we admire it, but we can't understand why Your Highness would do this. You are the Crown Prince! Do you really need to scheme against your subjects?"

"Oh, are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Chengqian sneered.

Zhang Ping frowned, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will find out about this?"

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

"This"

Zhang Ping was speechless and looked at Pei Xuan again.

But Pei Xuan said solemnly, "We are officials appointed by the court. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the power to govern Jiangling, Jiangling is not entirely under His Royal Highness's control!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yuan and said righteously, "If something like this happens, even if the emperor is here, we will report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty make the final decision!"

"Ah!"

Li Chengqian smiled, then leaned over and stared at the two of them, saying word by word, "I'm not afraid that you will report this to my father, the emperor. I'm afraid that you won't make it to Chang'an alive."

"What!?"

Pei Xuan and the other two were shocked.

They never imagined that Li Chengqian actually wanted to kill them!
But they are officials appointed by the imperial court!
Even if Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he cannot kill court officials without authorization!

Unless the prince wants to rebel!

Thinking of this, Pei Xuan and the other man's expressions changed from gloomy to bright. After a long while, Pei Xuan asked in surprise and doubt, "What exactly does the prince want to do?!"

"It's not about what I want to do, but what do you want to do?" Li Chengqian shook his head and said.

Zhang Ping sneered, "Your Highness, do you think we'll be tricked by you again? If you continue to play tricks, then we'll have to ask His Majesty to make the decision!"

"Okay! Then I'll let my father make the decision! Let's see if he believes you or me!"

As he spoke, Li Chengqian clapped his hands.

Clap clap clap!

Not long after, a tall and slender official with a sly smile walked in from outside.

"Your humble servant, Cai You, pays homage to the Supreme Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Boom!"

Hearing this voice that couldn't be more familiar, Pei Xuan and Zhang Ping felt like they were struck by lightning, and their heads couldn't help but buzz.

After a while, they finally reacted and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Cai Sima! You!"

Pei Xuan couldn't believe that Cai Sima would appear here, and judging from the situation, the situation seemed a little bad! !
But then Sima Cai smiled awkwardly and said, "This humble official greets Inspector Pei and Commander Zhang."

As he spoke, he respectfully handed Li Chengqian a thick account book and said flatteringly, "Your Highness, this is all the evidence of the crimes committed by Governor Pei and Commander Zhang in Jiangling over the years. Please take a look!"

"Cai You!! How dare you!!"

When Pei Xuan heard what Cai Sima said, he instantly understood where Ma Zhou got the roster.

Zhang Ping rushed over without saying a word, trying to snatch the account book away.

But Du Caigan had been on guard against him and in one leap he subdued him under the tiger's paw.

At this time, Sima Cai looked at them with a sneer on his face and said, "Inspector Pei, Commander Zhang, you guessed right. I betrayed you!"

"But you really deserve to die. You actually dared to fight His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Why did you betray us?! When did you surrender to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?!"

Pei Xuan roared in dissatisfaction.

Cai Sima said speechlessly, "The entire Jiangling has been plotted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm not a fool like you. I don't know the saying that a man who knows the times is a hero!"

"you!"

Pei Xuan was speechless.

Zhang Ping struggled to look at Li Chengqian and asked, "Your Highness, can you spare my life?"

"Why?"

"I command 50,000 elite troops from Jingzhou, ready to be deployed at your command at any time!"

"Hahaha"

Li Chengqian laughed, Li Yuan also laughed, and everyone present laughed.

Pei Xuan and Zhang Ping were stunned, at a loss and terrified.

After a moment, Li Chengqian stopped laughing and shouted loudly to the outside, "Laifu! Bring us the food and wine!"
