The King of Shu was now considered to have imposed excessive taxes, so his travels were restricted. He had to report in advance wherever he went. The guards informed Li Ke of his itinerary.
"Let them go out of the city, I don't believe what else they can do!"
Only with Changsun Wuji's permission could Li Ke, the king of Shu, who was under great suspicion, leave the city. If he really escaped from Chang'an City on horseback, it might be more confirmed that the king of Shu had other motives for his violent conquests.
But whoever instigated the rebellion of the accountant in Prince Shu's Mansion was indeed very persuasive, but I really don't know why he did it, so now he can only make do with it.
The guards let him go, and Li Ke and Chen Shou took a few people to the Lin family's old house outside the city. It's not easy for this guy to make something like MSG, and this kind of thing is very scarce. Chang'an City is a businessman. It's a good place where you can still start a small business even if you're involved in lawsuits.
A prince who makes money in a good way may not be liked by everyone. Change the place and change the mood.
The ancestors of the Lin family also served as censors of the previous dynasty, and received preferential treatment after surrendering. They were mainly responsible for the administrative work of the court. Because of Lin Zelin's affairs, the Lin family's home was ransacked and they were kept in jail to suffer. They were originally a family. It's such a trivial thing, but it happened to be handled by the bastard's previous life.
Torture was used to force Lin Zelin to admit to the crime of leaking the test questions. In fact, it was all a misunderstanding. Someone really guessed the question randomly. As a result, the always frivolous King of Shu would beat people into submission. If Wei Zheng hadn't enforced the law impartially , maybe the Lin family is really done, and it is almost impossible to find a business opportunity with the Lin family now.
"My lord, if you force him directly, it will save you trouble. Now we are in a state of ruin. I don't care about this kind of thing..."
Chen Shou had really been with the King of Shu for too long. If he hadn't been stopped, he would have told him carefully how to deal with Lin Changping. He seemed to have forgotten that his master was in a mess. If he caused trouble again, he would only make things worse. The accusation became more solid.
Li Ke is not like the person in his previous life who was so happy with his achievements that he harmed others, but this matter is really troublesome. His house was ransacked for no reason, and now he must hate the perpetrator to the core of his teeth.
The front door of the Lin family had been torn down. If the house hadn't been ransacked thoroughly, the people inside might have been killed and robbed. I heard that only two slaves, a man and a woman, were left in the Lin family's old house. As long as Li Gou was alive, he really had nowhere else to go. Even the stall holders went next door.
The family next door was originally a nouveau riche, but now it has surpassed the Lin family to become the rich and powerful 'big family' in the neighborhood.
Suddenly, they heard crying coming from the empty courtyard, so everyone went in to take a look. Several servants and a big-bellied guy were dragging a man and a woman around. Could they want to do illegal things at the feet of the emperor?
"Why are you meddling in other people's business? Their family owes me money. The most valuable thing here is this little girl. I can take her back and make her a maid, she can do whatever she wants, but don't try to be a good person!"
The tone is really not small. It seems that he is the upstart next door who wants to occupy the Lin family's loyal servant Ping'er. He has really good vision.
"You bastards, do you know who this is? It's Li Ke, the current prince and King of Shu in Qizhou. If you don't let go quickly, or let you go to jail one by one!"
Chen Shou had a particularly loud voice, and he was very confident only when he needed to show his identity. The upstarts and the others showed surprised expressions, while Lin Changping, who was beaten, glared at the new arrivals in the yard.
Come on, I originally wanted to give him a good impression, but now it just killed me.
The nouveau riche ran out without even asking for money. The yard was in ruins. When Lin Changping was helped up, he looked at Li Ke fiercely. He almost killed his father and wiped out the whole family. It is definitely not good for enemies to meet each other. , if he hadn't been severely beaten, otherwise Li Ke would have been the unlucky one.
As the saying goes, 'If you are willing to kill yourself and dare to pull down the emperor,' people who are forced to have no other choice will definitely do this. Li Ke can't be cowardly, because Lin Zelin's affairs are really not under his control. He can only blame that person in his previous life. This disgusting guy has offended so many people, and now I'm afraid he can't do anything.
"Don't think that I will thank you. In my opinion, you are..."
"Do you think I am here to compensate you? Let me tell you, this is Chang'an City, which is also my home. I can do whatever I want. Now you are just a poor man, can you beat me?"
Having to continue to act annoying, Li Ke showed off his arrogance and arrogance to the fullest. Only when he had enough aura could Chang Lin calm down and talk.
Sure enough, it worked. He hid Ping'er behind his back, fearing that another master would rob a civilian girl. This injury could no longer withstand the beatings from others.
Li Ke began to inspect the Lin family mansion and finally discovered the half-extracted MSG. The production method was also very simple. It was to evaporate the water at high temperature and then obtain the salt. However, the MSG required a few more steps to be completely formed. Sure enough, it was A talented person, but it's a pity that there are too many misunderstandings between the two.
"Don't think that you are a prince, because I am afraid of you. One day I will deal with you and put you into a situation that is beyond redemption..."
Before he could finish his harsh words, Chen Shou led his men to surround Lin Changping.
Yo, do you want to be a Huangchao in advance? It's a pity that I met you. You can get rich with MSG, but the output is so small now. It's probably not an easy task to get Lin Changping to provide the formula. I'd better leave an impression.
"If anything happens, ask someone to come to Chang'an City to find me. I will help you if you can. Don't think that this is my compensation to your family. What is being done to your family is the law of the Tang Dynasty. I am just enforcing it."
It's not a blame-shifting. The Lin family's incident was indeed caused by his eagerness to solve the case in his previous life. He wanted to get the MSG formula, and it seemed that he had to rescue Lin Zelin first.
It just depends on his character whether he succeeds or not. The King of Shu is famous for being domineering. Otherwise, there would be no one to greet him in Chang'an. There are many sycophants in the palace, so it is better to live in a brothel for a long time. Although he has the character of a lecher, his current situation is no better than that of Lin Zelin. He might become an inmate in the sky jail by then.
"Take away your dirty money. Even if I, Lin Changping, starve to death or freeze to death, I will not take a penny from you!"
These words are like thunder. If it were Lin Changping in the past, he would definitely be able to do it, but now he doesn't even have a way to make a basic living, and even Ping'er's wages are not paid.
Li Ke really took the money away. Today's meeting was indeed embarrassing. The Lin family's injustice case was still going through the process. Now he could only shamelessly visit Wei Zheng again.
