Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

The Dali Temple Prison, the sky prison, is here to detain serious offenders, and there are a total of 120 people from the Zheng family here. They are held in different cells, but they are all in the same room. Of course, slaves and the like are not included.

They have already received the imperial decree read by Li Shimin. No one speaks, only the sound of weeping from different cells. The oldest one, Zheng Rong, who is also the patriarch of this sect, is 73 years old. His hands are trembling. What he was holding was an imperial decree, and he didn't know why he was trembling.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the quiet and cold cell, and soon the jailer outside led someone in, and brought him directly to Zheng Rong.

Zheng Rong raised his head and looked outside. Li Ke didn't hide his identity at all, but the two people behind him were covered in robes and couldn't tell.There are also jailers by his side.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu came to see me and other prisoners?" Zheng Rong suddenly stopped shaking his hands. He looked at Li Ke with a stern expression, trying to straighten his old body.

"Zheng Lin, where is Zheng Mei?" Li Ke didn't bother to talk nonsense and asked directly.

Zheng Rong was stunned for a moment, "It's... over there." After a long time, Zheng Rong's lips trembled suddenly, and he stretched out his finger to point to a cell in front of Li Ke's left.

Li Ke directly raised his leg and walked there, "Open the door."

The jailer in front of Li Ke immediately bowed his head and opened the door. Inside the cell were women and children.

"Zheng Lin, Zheng Mei?" Li Ke asked again.

Among the crowd, two young women suddenly realized something, and hastily lifted off their clothes, revealing a child who was less than two months old and one who was less than six months old.

"Hand it over." Li Ke spat out three words.

The two women stood up quickly, ran directly in this direction, and ran to Li Ke's side. With trembling hands, they handed out the two babies, one male and one female, from their respective arms. Li Ke didn't pick it up. Yang Li and Yang Li each reached out to pick up a child, and then wrapped them in their arms with robes.

After finishing all this, Li Ke turned around and left without even looking at the eight or nine-year-old children.

With a "boom", after Li Ke left, the jailer directly closed the cell door behind him again, and the sound of a woman crying bitterly came from inside. As for why they cried, I am afraid only they themselves know.

Passing by the prison where Zheng Rong and the others were in, Zheng Rong opened his shriveled lips and wanted to say something, but Li Ke didn't even stop, but walked directly outside the cell.

Seeing Li Ke pass by their backs, Zheng Rong suddenly knelt down trembling and lay prone on the ground.

All the other members of the Zheng clan knelt down in unison.

Zheng Rong's old voice rang loudly from behind: "May Your Highness' wish last forever!"

"May Your Highness' wish last forever!" There were uniform voices, both male and female.

Hearing these voices, Li Ke stopped his footsteps, and then said in a cold tone: "Don't worry, if I die, there will be countless others in the future. No matter a hundred years or a thousand years, there will always be someone who can do it."

After finishing speaking, Li Ke directly raised his leg and walked out.

The members of the Zheng family were still kneeling there, chanting the words just now, "May Your Highness's wishes last forever".

"Bang" the heavy prison door closed again, as if separating the two worlds.

After leaving Dali Temple, Chang Lin waited outside. He didn't say anything, but silently watched the two women following Li Ke board a carriage.

"You can go back, Chang'an, I have nothing to do here." Li Ke said lightly.

"Yes!" Chang Lin nodded slightly and cupped his hands. The baby in Yang Anning's arms at this moment did not know whether it was because he lost the familiar smell, and suddenly cried out. The loud cry came from inside the carriage. .

Yang Anning raised his head nervously and looked outside, but it was blocked by the curtain, so he couldn't see anything, but outside, Li Ke cupped his hands to Chang Lin with a calm face, and said with a self-deprecating face: "Oh, It's a loud voice. Go away."

"Your Highness, go slowly." Chang Lin said without changing his expression, arching his hands.

In Chang'an City's Shu Palace, when they returned home, Yang Anning and Yang Li looked at Li Ke with some trepidation. In their view, this was someone who was taken out of the prison... Isn't this just courting death?

"What are you looking at me for? Tian Meng." Li Ke smiled and glanced at the two of them.

"Yes." Tian Meng immediately bent down and said.

"Go to two families of ordinary people who often ask for children, secretly put them at the door, give them 2 pennies, remember to change the cloth for wrapping the children into linen, and don't leave any information." Li Ke waved his hand and explained.

"Yes." Tian Meng immediately nodded in agreement, and the two maids behind him came out to pick up the two children from Yang Anning and Yang Li's arms, turned around and left here.

"Your Highness." Yang Anning hugged her for a while, but felt somewhat reluctant.

"What are you doing? If you want children, pick a time to bring them three times to His Highness's room. It's not like I don't have the ability." Li Ke glared at her.

Yang Anning immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, she didn't dare to answer these words, she knew that His Highness was not something a girl like her could expect.

Li Ke is a little disappointed, I thought you would agree, hey.

"Your Highness, what should I do with the 200 million coins sent by Mrs. Zheng? They said it will be delivered in three days." Tian Meng whispered.

Li Ke smiled, this is really a fucking good day, ask for beheading over there, and give money here.

"Accept it, I've taken it all. This matter will end in a short time. Since they dare to give it away, I dare to accept it." Li Ke said lightly.

"Yes!" Tian Meng lowered his head and said, "In addition, the Taiyuan Wang family has set up a gold member in one of our shopping malls. Originally, they wanted to do two, but your Highness said that a family can only do one, and Zhao Jun The Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, the Boling Cui family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Xingyang Zheng family all have a member."

"Understood." Li Ke waved his hand lazily, what's wrong, His Highness is asking you for protection money?He wasn't interested in each of them. If the money belonged to him, he would be excited, but unfortunately not.

"There are also some big families who come to apply for membership, but they are mainly silver members." Tian Meng said in a low voice.

"How much did you charge?" Li Ke was a little curious. Although the number of members has increased recently, they are actually small troubles, but this time there is a big wave.

"Not counting the 200 million guan from Xingyang Zheng's compensation, the total collected is 480 million guan, including the family of the Li family and Li Shiji in Longxi, and some other members, the total is 12 million guan." Tian Meng couldn't help it. Swallowing his saliva, this number is astonishing.

"Yo! That's not bad. If you add it up, it's more than 200 million yuan, which is more than Datang's annual income last year." Li Ke joked, hey, no wonder the old horse said, I don't like money, I don't like money. I don't feel much, and now Li Ke doesn't feel much about money either.

Of course, strictly speaking, the money does not belong to Li Ke, it is only in his hands, and it is impossible for him to touch the money, but what belongs to Li Ke is only a few hundred thousand.
