Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

"Sir, how do you know I'm Wang Qinian?"

"Not only do I know you're Wang Qinian, I also know you're a clerk at the Inspection Office!"

After hearing this, Wang Qinian was completely dumbfounded.

They have already investigated him thoroughly.

It's no use for him to run away now. After all, the monk can escape but the temple cannot. He can only accept his defeat!

Wang Qinian, with a bitter face, got up from the ground, returned to Li Chengyuan with a wry smile, and asked with a bow, "Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

"My name is Li Chengyuan!"

"Li Chengyuan..." Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, then his pupils dilated again with fear, and he exclaimed, "Are you the Third Prince?"

"Not bad! It's guaranteed to be replaced if it's fake!"

"thump!"

This time it was Wang Qinian who knelt down on his own initiative.

"I, Wang Qinian, pay my respects to His Majesty the Third Prince!"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Alright, transfer group, alright, no need to be polite, get up ③7172⑨11⑨!"

"I dare not!" Wang Qinian knelt on the ground, his face wrinkled, and he looked like he was about to cry. He hugged Li Chengyuan's thigh and cried, "Your Highness, please forgive me, Your Highness! I know that my morality is flawed, but I only amassed wealth because of the tragic events in my family. I had no choice but to do so!"

"..." Li Chengyuan was speechless: "You don't mean to say that your wife died early and your daughter has a terminal illness?"

"???" Wang Qinian's tears, which had been squeezed out with great difficulty, were instantly suppressed. He looked at Li Chengyuan with a look of shock and asked, "How did Your Highness know this?"

Li Chengyuan made up a lie and said, "Alright, hurry up and get up. I had someone investigate who was selling pirated books. My people have already found out everything about your family. Your wife and daughter are alive and well. Why would you want to kill them for such a small matter?" (bfbd)

Wang Qinian smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm forced to do this! Besides, my wife and daughter are healthy and well, so it's okay to talk!"

Li Chengyuan curled his lips and said, "Alright, I won't waste my time talking to you. Let me ask you, do you know what mistake you made?"

"I know!" Wang Qinian said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will never sell pirated books again!"

Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "This is not just a matter of selling pirated books.

I just said that Qiankun Bookstore is the property of Prince Li’s Mansion, which means it is a royal property!

You stole and sold books from the Royal Bookstore without permission, which is a serious crime of stealing state money, do you understand?

thump!

Wang Qinian was so frightened that he knelt down again.

Wang Qinian was really about to cry this time.

"No, sir, this shouldn't be necessary, right?"

"Why not? Do you know that because you sell pirated books, the reputation of my genuine books has been damaged, and how much money has I lost?"

"This...this..." Wang Qinian was so panicked that he didn't know what to say.

Li Chengyuan was delighted to see this and finally stopped teasing him.

"Let me ask you, do you want me to forgive you?"

"Yes! Of course I do!" Wang Qinian said without hesitation.

"Well, in that case, you should secretly come to the palace to see me tonight. Remember, no one can know about this!

At the same time, you are not allowed to tell anyone about what I saw you, including your dean Chen Pingping!

As long as you can do this, I promise that I will forgive you for what happened today!"

"Ah?" Wang Qinian said with a puzzled look on his face, "No, Your Highness, I'm just a clerk. What do you want from me?"

"I'll tell you about this when you come tonight!" Li Chengyuan smiled faintly and said, "Relax, it's not a bad thing, and it has nothing to do with the Inspection Office. Come with peace of mind, and don't overthink it, or you'll scare yourself!"

Li Chengyuan said this, looked around, and then said: "Okay, I should go now. Remember, I will wait for you at the palace tonight. Don't let anyone find out!"

After saying this, Li Chengyuan turned and left without waiting for Wang Qinian's agreement.

Wang Qinian, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Li Chengyuan's departing back with a bitter look on his face, obviously not believing what Li Chengyuan said.

After all, he thought, since Li Chengyuan went to such great lengths to find a nobody like him, the matter must be something big!

Wang Qinian is now even thinking about whether he should run away early and leave Kyoto!

Otherwise you will be dragged into disputes and face disaster!

...

After leaving Wang Qinian, Li Chengyuan continued to wander around the streets.

He was not worried that Wang Qinian would run away.

After all, Wang Qinian was prepared by Chen Pingping for Fan Xian.

Fan Xian hasn't arrived in Beijing yet, so why would Chen Pingping let Wang Qinian leave?

Even if Wang Qinian wants to run away, he will be caught!

......

At noon, Lao Huang found him on the street.

Then the two of them walked on the street until evening.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that they slowly returned to Prince Li's Mansion.

Chapter 50: A surprise reward for intercepting Wang Qinian! Jiangzuo League?

At night, Prince Li’s Mansion.

Wang Qinian stood outside the wall, hesitating whether to go in!

If possible, he really didn't want to go in.

He didn't know Li Chengyuan and didn't know what kind of person he was, so he didn't know what he would face after entering.

And most importantly, Li Chengyuan is a prince.

Once he helps Li Chengyuan do something, he may become Li Chengyuan's retainer in disguise.

This also means that he will become a pawn in the prince's fight for the throne!

This is the last thing he wants to do!

Because Wang Qinian knew very well how dangerous it was to participate in the fight for the throne among the princes!

Wang Qinian had no intention of becoming a loyal minister, he just wanted to live his own life well.

But...he couldn't help but go in now.

Because what he did during the day had offended the third prince.

If he deceived the Third Prince again tonight and did not keep the appointment on time, he would completely offend the prince.

He was just a small clerk in the Inspection Office, and he offended a prince. Wang Qinian himself didn't dare to imagine the consequences!

So, forced into a corner, Wang Qinian hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and flew into the yard!

...

Because Li Chengyuan had specifically instructed him to fly in from the backyard of the palace.

So as soon as Wang Qinian entered the courtyard, he landed near Chunxiao Tower.

After Wang Qinian landed, he looked around, wanting to see where the prince's bedroom was.

As he was watching, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

Wang Qinian was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see an old man looking at him with a smile.

Wang Qinian was frightened when he saw the old man appear behind him out of nowhere.

Wang Qinian thought to himself that his lightness skills were among the best in the entire Qing Kingdom.

It can be said that when it comes to lightness skills alone, he is not inferior to anyone except the grandmaster.

He just used his lightness skills to land gracefully on the ground, making almost no sound. Logically, he should not have been discovered at all.

But unfortunately, he was discovered shortly after he landed.

What shocked Wang Qinian the most was that he didn't even know when the old man appeared behind him.

What is the cultivation level of this old man?

Ninth Rank? Or Grand Master?

Wang Qinian felt numb all over at this moment.

"Excuse me, is this Lord Wang Qinian?"

Wang Qinian was startled when he heard the question and hurriedly said, "Oh, you are too polite. I am not worthy of being called an elder. Just call me Wang Qinian, old man!"

The old man was Jian Jiuhuang!

Old Huang laughed and said, "You are welcome, Lord Wang. Please follow me. His Highness has been waiting for you for quite some time!"

"Your Highness is waiting for me? Then please lead the way!"

"My lord, please come this way!"

"May I ask what your name is, old man?"

"Your Excellency can just call me Old Huang. I am your Highness's groom!"

"Groom?" Wang Qinian asked in shock, "With your level of cultivation, you're actually working as a groom in the palace?"

"Cultivation? Haha, you are overthinking it, sir. I don't know martial arts!" Old Huang smiled shyly.

"You don't know martial arts?" Wang Qinian asked puzzledly, "Then how did you find me just now?"

"Oh, that's a coincidence. I was just going to the bathroom nearby and happened to see you!"

"Going to the toilet???" Wang Qinian looked a little confused.

This sounded fine, but for some reason, he felt something was wrong.

......

Old Huang led Wang Qinian to the third floor of Chunxiao Tower.
