Before the two of them said a few words outside the door, Yarou's miserable and frightened screams came from inside, and she cried intermittently: "I said... I said!"
Li Hong chuckled. The small backpack he asked Bai Lu to sew a few days ago was now in use, filled with various snacks. He took out a piece of toffee and handed it to Li Yifu, then stuffed another piece into his mouth.
After thinking about it for a while, he felt it was a bit excessive, so he took off his small backpack and took out a few from it and handed them to Li Yifu, saying: "Go and interrogate it. Just tell me the result after the interrogation. Take these pieces of toffee and give them to her." Shocked. "
Li Yifu took the toffee and nodded, opened the door and walked in. He saw two beggars inside with blazing eyes, ready to pounce on Yarou. Yarou was forced to the corner of the room, squatting helplessly on the ground.
Li Yifu covered his mouth and nose and said in a low voice: "Okay, you can go out."
After saying that, he signaled Yarou, who was already a little nervous, to sit down on the futon. Hua Meng moved the table and prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Li Yifu handed the toffee in his hand to Yarou and said calmly: "The king gave it to you. Try it. It's really sweet."
"Devil! He is a devil! Devil!" Yarou murmured with her hands on her shoulders, crying pear blossoms in the rain, her beautiful eyes still a little dull.
Li Yifu ignored it, smiled and started laying out the paper in preparation for recording a confession.
After Hua Meng sent away the two beggars, he walked up to Li Hong and reminded him in a low voice: "King Dai, you don't intend to let Li Yifu touch this..."
Li Hong sat on the railing and swung his calves, took out a piece of toffee and handed it to Hua Meng, and then said: "Li Yifu is a good person. He has the ability to judge the authenticity of a person's words from his expression. In addition to It's not easy to find a master who can see into people's hearts like him. You can learn a little bit by going in and asking him to send it to me after the trial is completed. ”
Li Hong was lifted off the railing by Hua Meng and placed on the ground. Then he walked to the backyard in a swagger. He didn't know how many crystal tablets he had made by hard work.
He has to return to the palace eventually. In order to prevent himself from being punished by his mother, he must bring some gifts when he goes back. Ordinary gifts will make his mother feel that he is perfunctory. I am afraid it will be counterproductive and make him punished even more severely.
So in addition to promising my father twenty crystal tablets, I also had to prepare some for my mother in case she could give them to others.
Originally, according to the plan, if he found a way to refine mercury and made a mirror for his mother, he would definitely be able to avoid being punished when he returned to the palace. However, things went against his expectations. For a while, he still couldn't figure out how to refine it.
Li Hong also specially asked Hardworking to make a crystal plaque with a picture of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, which he planned to give to Concubine Xiao Shu. It is estimated that the queen mother would be able to spare Concubine Xiao Shu's life after seeing this plaque. The premise is that Concubine Xiao Shu will no longer act like a monster.
The picture of hundreds of birds worshiping the phoenix on the sign is different from the usual picture of hundreds of birds worshiping the phoenix. The pattern is in the form of hundreds of birds kneeling before the phoenix, which symbolizes Concubine Xiao Shu's submission to her mother.
About an hour later, Li Yifu walked in with a dense pile of papers in his hand and a somewhat unnatural expression. After saluting, he hurriedly handed the confession in his hand to Li Hong, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Hong was surprised that Li Yifu, who had always been calm, seemed so panicked.
"It's so dangerous. Thank you that I didn't take Chunyu as my concubine, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get away with it." Li Yifu said frankly.
"Oh, that Luoyang woman's name is Chunyu? This is the first time I've heard of it. Is she really that good-looking? As for letting you pretend to be a public servant for personal gain, you even broke up with the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Bi Zhengyi." Li Hong flipped through the confession, his head shaking. He said without raising his head.
"The king laughed at this, and I was confused for a moment, but it's okay. Fortunately, I didn't persist." Li Yifu calmed down and said.
"Then don't hate Bi Zhengyi. He is also responsible for his duties. Just let the matter go." Li Hong said.
Li Yifu was stunned. He had never mentioned to anyone that he would take revenge on Bi Zhengyi. How could Dai Wang know about it? Is it really a roundworm in my stomach
Seeing that he was silent, Li Hong raised his head, looked at him, smiled, and said, "Don't be surprised, I just made a wild guess, but you have to remember my advice. This is also for your own good."
Naturally, Li Hong would not tell him his true identity after nine reincarnations and ten reincarnations, and he happened to know about this dirty incident of his.
"Yes, I will remember the king's instructions." Li Yifu sat on the futon and bowed, saying seriously.
Li Hong continued to read the confession, and as he expected, a group of craftsmen from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and later the Qiuci Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty secretly abducted more than 300 craftsmen three times.
"Liu Shuang didn't feel that the price had dropped. A dignified Zhongshu Ling actually helped him issue fake certificates for the slaves. Wang Jing and Wang Kang seemed to be the executors. They were the ones who took Liu Shuang's certificates and transported the Tang craftsmen there. Outside the customs, and then hand it over to the Kucha people," Li Hong said with a frown as he read through the confession.
"Yes, King Dai. These craftsmen are now engaged in the crafts they are good at in Kucha. Among them, there are 110 women. They help the Kucha people with silkworm production, weaving and embroidery. The treatment seems to be pretty good, and they are not treated as slaves. treat."
"So what? I'm afraid all the pretty people were harmed by Wang Jing and Wang Kang." Li Hong closed his confession and said.
"Wang Kang was not fond of women, so he provided all the beautiful women to Wang Jing, and finally sent them to Qiuci together." Li Yifu said.
"Wang Jing is really not a thing, and removing his title is probably a slight. Then why is the woman's identity missing?" Li Hong asked.
Li Yifu lowered his head and smiled, and said: "I don't want to say it, because I don't deserve to know. I will only tell you that only one person knows."
"Hey, if you disobey her, go and find her two husbands again and let them enter the bridal chamber..."
"Would a dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty use such despicable means to bully a weak woman?" Yarou's voice came in from outside.
Li Hong looked at Li Yifu with confusion, and then at Yarou who walked in slowly. It seemed that she had washed and dressed up, and she looked like a hibiscus. Under the care of Bai Lu and Xiaoxue, she walked in slowly.
Li Yifu hurriedly said: "If I dare, I will bring her over to accept you as the king..."
"Forget it, people are here, and it's useless to say that. It's just a pity that my first marriage proposal was aborted." Li Hong smiled evilly and looked at Yarou in front of him, and Bai Lu, Xiaoxue stood there with different looks, showing different beauties.
"Young lady, I have met the King of Dai." Yarou bowed and saluted, then sat down opposite Li Hong.
"Tell me, what is your identity?" Li Hong glanced at her lazily and handed the confession in his hand to Li Yifu, asking him to send it to Liu Rengui.
After Li Yifu stood up to say goodbye, the four of them were left in the front hall. Li Hong looked at Yarou's charming face and looked at her silently. Yarou did not hide away and allowed Li Hong to look at her.
"I guess your identity is not simple. Wei should be from Tang Dynasty. Being able to be used by you means that you have great power behind you. Liu Shuang and Wang Jing are willing to cooperate with you. I guess Wang Jing doesn't know your true identity. Liu Shuang Shuang should know a little bit, but I’m afraid not much. Who are you, King Bai Suni of Kucha?”
"How do you know?" Yarou was shocked. This little kid is so powerful. How did he judge it? How can you be so smart
Li Hong looked at her with a bad smile. It was not until Yarou was stunned that Li Hong said: "It's not hard to guess, you are too stupid. This time the envoy from Qiuci came to our Tang Dynasty, Honglu Temple was there. It’s registered. There is a daughter of the King of Kucha in the accompanying team. She is a concubine and is not taken seriously, right?”
Li Hong looked at the shocked Yarou slyly and continued: "I just didn't expect that the daughter of King Qiuci would be a Yazi at first. Now I just need to make a little bold guess to know it. What's more, here are two people from the Tang Dynasty It has been many months, and there has been no news about King Qiuci's daughter in Chang'an City, as if she has never arrived, so your identity is easy to guess. "
"You..." Yarou didn't know what to say. This kid is too thoughtful. If he becomes the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it will be a nightmare for Qiuci. This person is definitely better than the one who is attacking the Western Turks. One hundred thousand elite soldiers are even more terrifying.
"The little girl's name is Bai Chun, the thirteenth daughter of King Qiuci." Bai Chun said.
"Bai Chun? The name is good, but what he does doesn't match the name. Okay, nothing's going on here. You can go down. As for what to do with you, we'll wait." Li Hong stood up to see the guests off. He was now To return to the palace as soon as possible, he must ask his father to order the craftsmen who were transported to Qiuci to be brought back, otherwise this will definitely be a huge loss to the Tang Dynasty.
And there happens to be a bargaining chip right now, which is to use Yarou, no, use Bai Chun, the thirteenth daughter of King Qiuci, in exchange!
"Dai Wang, I would like to advise you, don't expect to exchange me for those craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty." Bai Chun winked at Li Hong playfully, indescribably playful and clever.
"Why?" Li Hong didn't expect that Bai Chun was quite smart, and he guessed what he was thinking.
"The king is so smart, can't you guess it? After the little girl came to the Tang Dynasty, she never planned to return to Qiuci." Bai Chun hinted.
"Are you so unwilling to be welcomed by your father? Or has your father also found you a husband similar to the one I gave you just now...?" Li Hong asked heartily.
"Hmph, if there is a next time, I will never compromise!" Bai Chun looked cold. Now that she had come back to her senses, she thought about what had just happened. It was this little brat who was trying to scare her.
She didn't see him interrogating her for several days in a row, but when she saw him he didn't talk nonsense and directly gave her strong medicine, which suddenly disrupted her mind and made her heart confused before she was fooled.
"Next time? You will still be fooled next time. No fool will use the same method twice on the same person, but if I use it on you twice, you will still compromise and surrender!" Li Hong was conceited. said.
After speaking, Li Hong looked at Bai Chun and thought to himself, this is how things are in the royal family. When there are too many children, some will naturally be unfavored. Then it would be a bit naive for me to use the thirteenth daughter of the King of Kucha to threaten the King of Kucha to replace him, and it might make others laugh.
If King Qiuci then gives an order to send more fourteenth daughters and fifteenth sons to the Tang Dynasty, he will be even more shameless to threaten them.
Looking at Lao Gao with his chin raised and a pure look on his face, Li Hong thought for a moment and said, "Bring her back to the palace early tomorrow morning. We can't let her become a scourge to Chang'an City again."
