I am the seventeenth prince

Chapter 180 Chapter 184
Empty yard.

The yamen servants were busy all the time, tables were set up in the yard, decorated with lanterns and festoons, there seemed to be a festive atmosphere, there were plenty of people, and they kept coming and going.

Li Ye was sitting in a hall, holding a teacup, smelling the aroma of the tea, all the officials sitting below looked at each other in blank dismay.

They put on an attitude of listening to the teachings with an open mind, but Li Ye was fine, with a leisurely expression on his face, but he didn't speak, neither let people go, nor said anything, so that everyone didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling.

"Your Highness, Wang, Diao, Zhu, Lan. Fang Liangcheng's gentry and aristocrats came to pay a visit, and they even prepared some small gifts."

The clerk of the Duzhi Division of the government office came, followed by two officials, who were still holding exquisite gift lists.

"Come in."

Li Ye put down the teacup in his hand.

The clerk walked into the room where officials of all sizes gathered, felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room, almost felt out of breath, couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead, and handed the gift list with both hands.

"The gift giver is here, let me take a look."

Li Ye picked up a gift list, touched the soft cloth, the delicate patterns, and looked at the vigorous and powerful fonts on it.

"I don't know what's going on in your Fangliang City, but you follow the rules and bring anyone who is qualified to come in, and you will arrange the rest."

The clerk led the people back, and felt inexplicably relaxed as soon as they left the door.

Li Ye looked at the handwriting on the gift list, put down one, and picked up another.

In terms of placement, Li Ye changed these gift lists into two types.

One works, one doesn't.

"East Sea Night Pearl, Natural Purple Coral Horse, Pu Fengzi's Wangmei Picture, do you think I am someone who lacks these rare items? Why are so many people giving these things?"

On the table next to Li Ye, there are a bunch of gift stickers that are all kinds of rare treasures in the eyes of others. It is a big pile, and another small pile of gift stickers is Diao Caizhu, who has specially investigated Li Ye and picked up what he likes.

"Your Highness is clean and honest. I haven't seen any rare treasures. Fang Liang is from the frontier. Those ordinary people who give these gifts are completely slandering His Highness."

Zheng Fuyin was the first to scold in pain.

People who didn't know thought he was someone who hated the gift list so much, as nothing happened before.

It is really rare to endure humiliation to his level.

"Really?" Li Ye asked back.

He didn't continue to speak, but raised his palm and rested his chin on it, as if closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Dong Zijian and his friend looked at each other, always felt that today was very strange.

The two made eye contact.

"what's the situation?"

"how could I know?"

After a while, the document brought Diao, Zheng, and Wang Xiaobo to this room.

When they came in, Li Ye opened his eyelids, pressed his palms, and then closed his eyes again without saying a word.

Everyone muttered in their hearts.

An afternoon passed, and no one dared to leave the table without authorization.

Even if the 'water bag' is full, but he sees other people who can still sit on Mount Tai, he can only endure it.

"Your Highness, it's getting late."

Beside Li Ye, black shadows swarmed up, and soon became a man in a black robe, with a one-piece hood on his head and a mask on his face, only a pair of indifferent eyes were exposed.

"Ah."

Li Ye stood up and walked out.

The crowd followed.

Came to the yard, at this time, the yard has changed a lot.

"sit down."

Sitting down, Li Ye stretched out his hand, and then Dou Fuwei, Diao Caizha and others just casually followed Li Ye and sat down.

hum.

Many people's hearts skipped a beat. It stands to reason that Diao Caizhu should not sit with Li Ye. After all, the head of the Zheng family, the biggest snake in the land, or Zheng Fu Yin are more qualified to sit next to Li Ye.

Some people thought it was wrong, but no one pointed it out.

Judging from Li Ye's previous behavior, it is certain that the Zheng family is not popular, but Li Ye's status is noble and unreasonable, and no one dares to remind him.

There is no good feast.

Some people who don't care about themselves just want to avoid hurting themselves this time.

Li Ye exchanged glances with Dou Fuwei and the others one after another, and they all received affirmative answers from them, with subtle nods, and he understood in his heart that everything was going well.

"My elder brother is guarding the western frontier, and he often suffers from not having enough money to maintain a large army to suppress the western barbarians. As a younger brother, I feel very sad every time I think about it, and I always want to do my part for him."

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Hey, the king of Fu County has made great military achievements. He and General Mo and others have kept the western frontier safe. I admire you."

Zheng Fuyin hastily interjected.

"Is it?"

Li Ye sneered, making Zheng Fuyin's heart pound.

When the dishes are served, the figures are constantly walking back and forth, and the fragrance of the dishes is diffused in the yard, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

No matter how delicious the dishes are, no one here dares to move their chopsticks.

The night is deep.

The city entered a curfew, and a man dressed as a servant came to the corridor of the government office, nodding in the direction of Li Ye.

"Soldiers are killing the enemy on the front line. I think those in the rear can't block the front line. I was ordered to come to Fangliang to counterattack the front line. As for what the counterattack needs at the front line, Mr. Zheng might as well talk about it."

Li Ye suddenly handed over the words to Zheng Fu Yin.

Zheng Fu Yin knew that Li Ye had bad intentions for his Zheng family, but he thought that at most it was a scam, and what he wanted was nothing more than money.

It is understandable for him to think so, the main vein is not extinguished, who will touch their cold ground vein.

But he didn't know that the holy soldiers protecting the Zheng family had an accident, and the Zheng family was in dire straits.

"Well, this is the superficial opinion of the lower officials. As a layman, I don't have any opinions on the strategy and tactics of the front line. From my point of view, the front line counterattack is nothing more than two points.

money and soldiers.

And these two points have one thing in common, that is, money is needed, a lot of money to buy war horses, armor, food, and conscription. "

Li Ye applauded.

"It's as good as it gets, it's beautiful."

Zheng Fu Yin said modestly, "Your Highness is too praised."

His face showed pride.

"But I hate the kind of person the most. They have self-knowledge, but they can't do it. Instead, they are duplicity."

Li Ye gave Zheng Fu Yin a cold look, causing Zheng Fu Yin's face to collapse instantly.

"Bring someone here."

Zheng Fu Yin's face was cold, and he felt more and more that things were beyond his expectation, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, so he glanced at his elder brother.

Quietly, his fingers curled up slightly, and the person who was waiting by the side quietly left.

It's just that Zheng Fuyin's actions fell into Li Ye's eyes, but he didn't show any emotion.

Dou Fuwei's personal soldiers escorted a man wearing a hood and walked over, but when Zheng Fuyin saw this familiar figure, his heart was shocked, and he quietly made a gesture.

Suddenly, at the dining table not far away, an official drew out his dagger and stabbed at the hooded man.

Li Ye sensed the murderous intent very keenly, and turned his head to look at it. A terrifying murderous aura emanated from his body, instantly enveloping everyone.

The murderous intent directed at people's hearts made everyone tremble with fear, even the timid ones were even more frightened, they couldn't even sit on their chairs, and fell one after another.

Not to mention that the official who had withstood most of the murderous intent froze forward.

The body was trembling with fear, unable to listen at all.

No matter how he urged in his heart, his body was still very honest.

"Capture him."

Lieutenant Dou gave orders, and just when someone wanted to capture him, Li Ye waved his palm and flicked his fingers, and his true energy pierced through the air from his fingertips, forming a knife light, directly passing through the official's head.

"It seems that someone can't sit still."

Li Ye laughed.

But his half-hearted smile does not make people feel friendly, but instead makes people secretly complain.

Zheng Fuyin's face remained unchanged, as if the person being alluded to was not him.

Those present, no one knew that this official was following orders from the Zheng family.

"Horse bandit, ghost head."

With the hood pulled up, Dong Zijian was surprised.

He recognized the man.

It is the big leader of the three-eyed horse bandit who has caused disasters, the ghost head.
