Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"I know that I'm not good enough! I'm disappointed!"

Cheng Yaojin's words directly made Li Shimin amused.

Then he sighed helplessly, "Cheng Zhijie, don't mess around here, okay?"

"Then Li Qiuzhen also saw it with his own eyes. He was a frail and sickly child since he was a child."

"Who do you think will believe what you say?"

Hearing Li Shimin's evaluation of Li Qiu, Cheng Yaojin became anxious and spat on the spot.

"What?"

"Just that kid, weak and sickly? Is he too weak?"

"His strong hands are like iron tongs. I tried all my strength and couldn't break free."

"Your Majesty, you actually said that he is weak?"

"If he is considered weak and sickly, weak, I am afraid that the soldiers and generals in the entire Tang Dynasty will become women!"

Li Shimin thought that Cheng Yaojin was getting messed up again, so he pointed helplessly at Qin Qiong who was standing aside.

"Shubao, you are famous for your strength, and you are the champion of the three armies."

"Come on, I order you now, you hold Cheng Zhijie by the neck with one hand and throw him out of the palace."

At this time, Qin Qiong came out, smiled wryly and shook his head in salute.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have too many old wounds on my body, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill His Majesty's will."

As he spoke, he looked at Cheng Yaojin, who was beside him with resentment on his face, who was tall and rough, and who was wearing a helmet and armor.

"And Your Majesty, don't say that the minister is now."

"I'm afraid even if I'm in my prime, I won't be able to walk such a long distance with Cheng Zhijie in armor with one hand!"

Qin Qiong's words almost choked Cheng Yaojin to death.

Even Li Jing, who was nearly [-] years old, couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Li Shimin, who was sitting behind the dragon case, took a peevish look at Cheng Yaojin.

"Cheng Zhijie, did you hear what Shubao said?"

"You can't tell me that all the guys in any small shop in Chang'an City have martial arts that surpassed Qin Qiong's when he was at his peak, right?"

"If that's the case, my Great Tang would have wiped out the world long ago!"

"Okay, now come and tell me, why are you going to overturn other people's tables and surround other people's shops?"

Now that the matter has come to this point, if we continue to talk about Li Qiu's loss of himself, no one will believe it.

Cheng Yaojin then turned the page, snorted unconvinced, and said slowly.

"When I returned to the mansion today, I heard that there is a famous black-hearted profiteer in Chang'an City."

"He sells a bucket of wine for tens of thousands of dollars, and the cheapest dish costs hundreds of dollars."

"What's more, a former subordinate of the minister sold his ancestral house because he wanted to drink his wine."

"Besides, there are many more people who were deceived by him and went to eat and drink at his place with high prices against their conscience."

"You don't want to take care of this kind of black-hearted profiteer who corrupts the people's morals. I, Lao Cheng, dare to take care of it. I..."

Before Cheng Yaojin could finish speaking, Wei Zheng, who was already pale with anger, couldn't bear it anymore.

Immediately stood up, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cursed at him.

"Well, you Cheng Zhijie, you confuse black and white, gossip, beat people and smashed their shops, and now you still slander them and bite them back."

"It's ridiculous and ridiculous!"

Just now, when he heard that Cheng Yaojin surrounded Li Qiu's place and almost hurt someone, Wei Zheng's anger was no less than that of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

He returned to Chang'an this morning, when he heard that Li Ke, king of Shu, almost killed Li Qiu.

He was already suffocating in his heart.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin slander Li Qiu so much now, he can't bear it anymore.

Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng have always been at odds with each other due to their historical differences.

No one is pleasing to the eye.

Seeing Wei Zheng jumping out to accuse him now, how could Cheng Yaojin be willing to do it.

"Hmph, okay, that black-hearted businessman dared to act so boldly and ruin the people's morals because of the protection of you people."

"Wei Zheng, let me tell you, what I said in front of His Majesty today is based on solid evidence and grounds."

"It's you, as an important minister in the court, who actually shields a merchant in such a way, are you afraid that you have taken advantage of that merchant?!"

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Wei Zheng laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Oh, what a conclusive evidence, well-founded!"

"Cheng Zhijie, before you said this, you didn't go to Chang'an City Street to inquire casually."

"Apart from you, who else would speak unkindly about that kid Li Qiu?"

"Okay, since you are so unconvinced, I, Wei Zheng, will bet my life with you today."

"If that Li Qiu is really as you said, corrupting people's customs, and a black-hearted profiteer, I, Wei Zheng, will be killed on this dragon pillar."

"And if Li Qiu is not as you said, do you dare to be like me?"

Chapter 38

Looking at Wei Zheng's righteous and aggressive eyes, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help feeling a little discouraged for a while.

At this time, Wei Zheng went a step further, "Oh, I know that you, Duke Lu, began to cherish his life after enjoying the glory and wealth."

"That's fine, I don't ask you to crash into death like me."

"If I win, you only need to go to Suzaku Street and kneel for an hour, how dare you?"

Wei Zheng, that's a famous stunned young man.

Cheng Yaojin believed that Wei Zheng absolutely dared to fulfill his promise and bumped his head to death here.

Seeing him like this now, and noticing the anger on Changsun Wuji's face from the corner of his eye, and the playfulness in other people's eyes, Cheng Yaojin faintly felt that something was wrong.

About that Li Qiu, after all, I learned about it from Cheng Chumo, so I really have no idea.

Ever since, Cheng Yaojin made a very wise choice: Counseling...

At this time, Li Shimin sighed deeply and looked at him.

"Cheng Zhijie, you just arrived at the mansion today, so you went directly to Li Qiu's place?"

"You didn't even have time to take off your armor?"

Cheng Yaojin replied weakly, "Yes..."

Li Shimin's eyesight and thinking are so good, he can understand it in one sentence.

"Hmph, Cheng Zhijie, I won't embarrass you today."

"You go out of the palace now, find out about Li Qiu, and then come to see me tomorrow!"

Seeing that Li Shimin said so, Cheng Yaojin had no choice but to leave the palace in despair.

At this time, Qin Qiong, who had nothing to do, complained, and chased after him.

"Oh, Cheng Zhijie! You are so confused about today's matter!"

At this time, Cheng Yaojin was very depressed, and when he was angry, seeing Qin Qiong like this, he also widened his eyes.

"Shubao, why do you even say that about me?"

"you……"

Before he could speak the next sentence, Qin Qiong grabbed him.

"Let me ask you, do you know the origin of that Li Qiu?"

"What's the history?"

"It's just a young businessman, what else can he do?!"

Qin Qiong shook her head and sighed at this moment, "How can I say that you are confused?!"

"This Li Qiu is the son-in-law of our deceased brother Luo Cheng!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was stunned, "What?"

"That Li Qiu is Luo Cheng's son-in-law??"

Qin Qiong shook his head and sighed.

"This Li Qiu is married to Brother Luo Cheng's daughter."

"At first, I thought it was just me who knew about it."

"However, seeing how your Majesty and the eldest grandson took care of Li Qiu, you should know it."

"Back then, Brother Luo Cheng shot through his heart with random arrows, and his body was killed. He died a miserable death!"

"As for you, uncle, if you really hurt Li Qiu today, or even killed him, would you be worthy of the dead brother Luo Cheng?"

Hearing this, Cheng Yaojin's eyes turned red, and he slapped himself hard.

Then he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh!"

"I... I am ashamed of my dead brother Luo Cheng!"

"Look at the trouble, why didn't anyone inform me in advance?!"

Qin Qiong shook her head at this moment and patted him.

"Because of Brother Luo Cheng, I also secretly paid attention to Li Qiu."

"He is indeed a good boy. It is very different from what you think in your heart."

"Let's go, today I will simply accompany you and walk casually on the streets of Chang'an City."

After saying that, Qin Qiong took Cheng Yaojin together and came to this street in Chang'an City.

The result is predictable.

They randomly asked some common people, only a small number of them did not know Li Qiu.

As for the rest of the people who knew Li Qiu and Li Qiu's shop, no one said Li Qiu was bad!

What's more, it's all about how good Li Qiu is, he treats people sincerely, is willing to do good, and often invites everyone to drink and eat delicious food for free.

At the same time, Li Qiu was always willing to help anyone who had difficulties and asked him for help.

Definitely a good guy, a good boy, and everyone loves him very much.

After such an interview, Cheng Yaojin was really regretful.

At the same time, it was extremely certain that Cheng Chumo must have been instigated by others and tricked by others, including himself, as a gunman.

Ever since, Cheng Yaojin went home angrily.

Prepare to change clothes, and then go to the palace to plead guilty.

But when he returned to the mansion and changed his clothes, Cheng Chumo and a group of guards were released by Jingzhao Mansion.

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin's chest was filled with anger, and he thought about peeling off the skin of this idiot boy first, and then he will teach him a serious lesson.

But just when he brought the trembling Cheng Chumo to him, and before he could settle the accounts, a housekeeper suddenly came to report.

It is said that Ying Guogong, a warrior Xun, came to visit.

Samurai Yu?

Cheng Yaojin couldn't figure out why the samurai Xun who didn't have a deep friendship with him came at this time.

In a fit of anger, with too many important things waiting to be dealt with, he thought about not seeing him, and asked the housekeeper to find an excuse to shirk it.

But before he could speak, the warrior Xun from the other side had already rushed in.

And as soon as they met, they immediately yelled: "Cheng Zhijie!"
