Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 380 The Shen family is in a hurry
Cheng Yaojin also got a little drunk while pushing the cups and changing the cups.

This wine was so fragrant. Cheng Yaojin was born to be a good drinker, so he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Seeing that it was almost done, he asked Li Fu, "Your Highness, how did you think about that matter?"

Li Fu was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "What are you referring to?"

In fact, Li Fu also knew that Cheng Yaojin was talking about killing cattle.

However, it is best to pretend to be stupid at this time.

Of course Cheng Yaojin also knew that this kid was pretending to be stupid, so he rolled his eyes and said:

"Let me tell you, as long as you nod your head, His Majesty can send someone to send the Shen family members to prison tomorrow."

"So, you have to think about it carefully."

This time, Li Fu really didn't understand, he spread his hands and said, "What else do I have to think about?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't bother to say anything more, so he drank a few drinks and left Li Fu.

In the middle of the night, Li Er was still reviewing the memorial.

At this time, the chief eunuch suddenly came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the empress is here."

"Oh?" Li Er stopped and said to the eunuch, "Let her in."

Then, the chief eunuch brought in Queen Changsun.

Li Er and Empress Changsun had a very good relationship. Seeing her at this time, even the fatigue seemed to have eased a lot.

"The queen came here to look for me, but what's the matter?" Li Er asked her with a smile after the empress Changsun finished her salute.

Empress Changsun smiled, took the noodles she made from the handmaiden behind her, and handed them to Li Er.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, and it's time for you to rest."

Li Er smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Come on, I can rest after finishing these memorials."

Empress Changsun nodded, then sat beside Li Er, looking at him affectionately.

Li Er took the noodle bowl, smelled the aroma of the noodle, and then began to feast on it.

"The queen's craftsmanship has improved again." While eating the noodles, Li Er did not forget to praise his queen.

Seeing that Li Er had almost eaten, Empress Changsun tentatively asked, "Your Majesty, you have heard about Li Fu, right?"

"Oh." Li Er sighed lightly, and said, "It's better not to ask about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Queen Changsun became a little anxious: "How can you ignore it? Those are fifty cattle. Li Fu probably bought them at a high price."

"If that's the case, then how wronged he feels, Your Majesty, you can't let our crown prince suffer this kind of wronged."

Li Er had a headache from what she said, so he naturally understood Empress Changsun's feelings.

After all, she is Li Fu's mother, so of course she will seek justice for Li Fu.

Empress Changsun continued: "Besides, this matter has not been investigated clearly. This is all caused by the Shen family."

"They just want to get back the mountain of salt they sold to Li Fu, so they use this kind of low-handed method."

Li Er sighed again, he naturally knew about these things.

In fact, at this time, Li Er was also thinking of a way, whether he could find a legitimate reason to get rid of the Shen family.

Seeing Li Er's embarrassment, Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, if it is not convenient for you to handle this matter, then let the concubine take over."

Li Er suddenly panicked. He also knew that as a queen, he sometimes acted impulsively and did not care about the consequences.

If she really comes forward, the final outcome may be messed up by her.

"Forget it, let me handle it." Li Er said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will never let our Crown Prince be wronged."

Afterwards, Li Er comforted Empress Changsun and sent her away.

After Empress Changsun left, Li Er rubbed his aching forehead.

At this time, in the Shen's house in Chang'an City, the lobby was brightly lit.

Shen Lian and Shen Jie were kneeling on the ground, while their father, Shen Ku, looked at them with an angry look on his face.

"You two little bastards, how many times have I told you that you must never be arrogant, but you just don't listen!"

Seeing their father being so angry, the two brothers didn't take it seriously, thinking that their father made a big deal out of a trivial matter.

"It's just a few dozen cattle. If you die from poison, you will die from poison. I just want to teach that Li Fu a lesson."

Shen Ku sat slumped on the chair and murmured: "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, killing fifty other people's cattle is so serious that it can send you Jin Dalao!"

Hearing this, both Shen Lian and Shen Jie were taken aback for a moment, which they did not expect.

The two of them are usually ignorant, and they know very little about laws and regulations.

"You two little bastards, if your father and I hadn't licked our old faces and begged the Lord of the Ministry of Punishment, you would have been arrested long ago!"

After hearing this, Shen Lian collapsed to the ground in fright.

Shen Jie was a little more courageous, so he asked his father Shen Ku: "Father, is there any other way to remedy it?"

Shen Ku thought for a while, and said: "You didn't do anything yourself in this matter, at most you were behind the scenes."

"So, as long as the confession is made well, the charges should not be too big. As for the compensation, we just need to satisfy that Li Fu."

Hearing what their father said, brothers Shen Lian and Shen Jie were reassured.

Shen Ku continued: "No matter what I say, I can still get around in the Ministry of Punishment. As for Li Fu..."

While talking, he stopped suddenly, because he didn't know how to stop Li Fu's mouth.

Shen Lian hurriedly said: "I can pay him money, fifty cows are not much money, at worst I can double or triple the compensation!"

He also knew the seriousness of the matter now, so he was anxious to calm the matter down, as long as Li Fu didn't pursue it anymore, he would accept it even if he lost money and avoided disaster.

Afterwards, the father and son discussed again, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

On the second day, just as Li Fu woke up, he heard someone announce that someone had come from the Shen residence.

After getting dressed and going out, Li Fu found out that it was the two brothers Shen Lian and Shen Jie who came to make amends with money.

"You want to use money to settle me?" Li Fu looked at them bringing two boxes of silver, and said slightly mockingly.

Shen Lian was full of smiles at this time, and seemed very confident that he could use money to settle this turmoil.

"2000 taels of silver is enough to make up for your loss. If there is too much, we will apologize to you." Shen Lian said to Li Fu.

The 2000 taels of silver was the price Li Fu paid for his salt mountain.

So this time, they also planned to use this amount of silver to calm things down.
