At the beginning, the people of Changzhou were more indifferent to Li Chengqian.
Even if he avenged Zhao Han and got rid of the corrupt officials who were colluding with the merchant family, the people would still feel nothing.
After all, these things have nothing to do with them in their opinion.
Some people even think that by killing Deng Xing, Li Chengqian will cut off their financial path.
Of course, Li Chengqian knew all this.
It was also within his expectations.
But he didn't expect that an assassin would appear later.
Similarly, he did not expect that those assassins would kill so many of his brothers.
As the prince of a country and the commander-in-chief of an army, Li Chengqian had to do something for his dead brother no matter what.
And what he did was to kill the captured assassins without trial.
At the same time, those common people who dared to hide the assassins were executed without mercy.
And in doing so, he can naturally give an explanation to his brothers.
However, this became the last stone that disrupted Changzhou's peace.
Naturally, Sun Wucheng, who had a grudge against Li Chengqian, would not miss such a good opportunity.
He immediately joined forces with several Changzhou aristocratic families to expand their properties one after another.
When merchant families shrink their industries, they will naturally have to lay off a large number of workers.
This means that many people are facing unemployment and difficulty in supporting their families.
And they all blamed all these faults on Li Chengqian.
Li Yuan was able to use his influence to help Li Chengqian share the pressure in the court.
However, he could not use his influence to calm the anger of the people in Changzhou.
Of course Li Chengqian has thousands of reasons.
But it cannot erase the fact that he went on a killing spree in Changzhou and killed many innocent people.
Similarly, he could not erase the fact that because of his confrontation with the Sun family, many people had problems even eating.
Therefore, in the following days, people carrying vegetable baskets could be seen throwing vegetable leaves at the Changzhou Hotel almost every day.
The soldiers of Qianzi camp also saw this and were angry in their hearts.
If Li Chengqian hadn't given the order long ago, they would not be allowed to conflict with the people.
They really want to go up and teach these brainless guys a lesson and make them sober.
And inside the hotel at this moment.
Li Tingxue came to Li Chengqian's room.
Seeing Li Chengqian drinking tea and reading a book as if nothing happened, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"The group of people outside came to the door to curse me."
"But you, you seem to have no intention of doing anything. You are still here calmly drinking tea and reading."
Li Tingxue sat next to Li Chengqian, gently dusted herself off, and said, "Aren't you afraid that the people here will make things worse?"
"Let's make trouble."
"What if we make a bigger fuss?"
Li Chengqian sneered, raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and said: "Besides, there is no need to rush to solve this matter. It will not take a few words to make them wake up."
"Then you can't just sit there."
"As the prince, you have to do and say something no matter what."
Li Tingxue looked at Li Chengqian and said, "We can't just keep making trouble like this."
"what can I do?"
"I went to arrest Sun Wucheng and force him to reopen all businesses?"
"Or should I arrest a few people and force them to submit by force?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "My sister, if this matter could be so easy to do, I would have solved it long ago."
"Besides, I didn't just sit there."
Li Chengqian casually picked up a stack of letters from the desk and threw them to Li Tingxue, saying, "Look at this first."
After looking at the letter and then at Li Chengqian, Li Tingxue had an inexplicable look on her face.
However, when she saw the contents of the letter, the expression on her face became somewhat ambiguous.
Li Tingxue shook the letter in his hand and said, "It turns out you have been prepared for this. Why don't you panic?"
"hey-hey."
Li Chengqian smiled, then approached Li Tingxue and said, "Sister, I know you care about me and are worried and angry about me."
"But I also told you that your brother has grown up and is no longer the child who needs your protection."
"Your brother knows all these things well."
"Right now, you just need to accompany Grandpa Huang, go to various places and relax."
"Just leave the rest to me."
Speaking of this, Li Chengqian paused.
He approached Li Tingxue and said, "If you have time, sister should communicate more with that guy Gao Zhixing."
"Although this guy is a bit stupid sometimes, and he is a bit like a gangster."
"But there is actually nothing wrong with his character. He is a marryable man."
"Besides, I can also see that he really likes and loves you."
"I believe that after you marry him, he will treat you wholeheartedly."
Li Chengqian reached out and took out a small brocade box from the other side of the table and pushed it towards Li Tingxue.
"That guy gave this to you."
"It looked pretty good to me, so I accepted it."
Hearing this, Li Tingxue did not react as hugely as before, and even seemed a little calm.
She looked down at the brocade box and opened it, revealing a pair of exquisite earrings inside.
Carefully holding the earrings in his palm, Li Tingxue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since he gave it to me, why are they here with you?"
"What do you think?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Sister, I'm not talking about you as a younger brother. You really can't treat a man like this."
"How should we treat it?"
Li Tingxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Chengqian and smiled: "Today, sister happens to have time, so I might as well listen to your kid's nonsense."
"Hey, how could I possibly talk nonsense to my sister?"
Li Chengqian also laughed.
"I just had some insights recently."
"I think love is the hardest emotion in the world to understand."
"Sometimes, it can be very long, it can be very lasting, and it can even be unforgettable for decades or even a lifetime."
"But sometimes, it is very fragile, so fragile that it breaks at the touch of a touch, and is not even as strong as a piece of paper."
Li Chengqian had a thoughtful look on his face.
"To put it this way, it's quite complicated. Why not take my father and mother as examples."
"If you ask me whether my father loves my mother, of course he does."
"For many years, they have supported each other, and they have supported each other."
"When my father led the imperial court to fight foreign wars, my mother would comfort him in the harem and teach the world her own rules, so that he would have no worries."
"When the queen mother needs her father, the father will appear at the first time and do his best to give the queen the most care and help."
"And this is love, a love that can be the envy of the world."
Li Chengqian looked at Li Tingxue and said, "I also hope that my sister can get such a love."
"And I also want to remind my sister that although being hurt one after another will not make love disappear directly, it will slowly fade away."
"If you wait until one day, this feeling completely disappears, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Li Chengqian stood up slowly and said, "So sister, don't hesitate any more and don't test him. It's almost time now."
