God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 296 To recruit or not to recruit? (third change)

Afterwards, Li Jing brought Li Chengqian, who was followed by soldiers and horses, and Xue Rengui and others came outside Pei's mansion.

The up and down of the entire Pei Mansion here is very busy, busy up and down.

Li Chengqian confirmed his guess even more, so he was asked by a servant.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

When the man saw that it was Li Chengqian, he was frightened and immediately knelt down.

"His Royal Highness, we know that His Royal Highness is coming, and we are preparing something."

This is not right, the news of his arrival is kept very secret, Pei Ji must be afraid of something, what is he preparing for?As long as the person comes out, it's fine. Besides, shouldn't he come out to greet him?
He felt that there must be something strange about it.

So Li Chengqian rushed in immediately, followed by Li Jing, Xue Rengui and others.

At the same time, they went inside with a large number of soldiers and horses.

When everyone saw that it was Li Chengqian, they all saluted and said, "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian didn't have time to pay attention to them, but went straight to the mansion.

When he entered the living room, he saw that Pei Ji was pacing up and down, and he was very flustered.

When Li Chengqian appeared in front of him, he immediately said: "I pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince, why do you have time to come to the minister's residence? It is a sin for me not to greet you from afar."

"The king came to your house to get corn seeds, which will be sown tomorrow, and these corn seeds need to be handed over to Wei Guogong Li Jing."

Li Chengqian said calmly.

This made Pei Ji tremble with fright, if he wanted to take the corn now, it would be tantamount to killing him.

He said: "You don't need to bother His Highness the Crown Prince to come in person, just talk to the people in the palace. How about sending the corn to Duke Wei's mansion tomorrow morning?"

There must be something wrong with Pei Ji doing this. How could Li Chengqian let him do this? Since he is going to punish him, he must be punished well.

"No need! You've done a good job, I've worked hard on you these days! This king wants to take the corn away first! As for the sweet potatoes, I'll leave them at your house first."

As soon as these words fell, Pei Ji's forehead was covered with sweat.

The more this happened, the happier Li Chengqian felt. Seeing this guy nervous, he wanted to laugh.

"His Royal Highness, the corn minister has been preserved, but it will take some time to put it away. How about asking the servants to pack it first and then send it to Duke Wei's mansion?"

Pei Ji has always chosen to avoid it, and has been unwilling to take it out now. He must be trying to fool him, and Li Chengqian has already discovered something strange.

Then he said loudly: "Pei Ji, you didn't lose these corns, did you? Do you know that this is the future hope of the Tang Dynasty. This is the future of the people of the Tang Dynasty. If it is lost, I will ask you!"

Pei Ji quickly said: "No! No! Your Royal Highness! The corn is not lost!"

The more flustered Pei Ji was, the more ghostly he became. If he didn't lose it, he didn't lose it, but the concubine Wang Guifei took a lot, and the rest must not be enough.

He probably didn't know that Li Chengqian would start promoting it so soon, right?I thought it would be fine to give Wang Guifei some, but I didn't expect that Li Chengqian would start promoting it tomorrow, so it's no wonder that he would be very nervous, after all, he would reveal his secrets soon.

"If you don't have it, take it out! Hurry up, I'm busy, I don't have much time! If you don't take it out, I will go crazy!"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ji had no choice but to say: "Come here, collect the corn and carry it out!"

After a while, his men lifted up the corn one by one.

Just put it in front of everyone.

"Come on, weigh them one by one!"

Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness, there is no tool name in the minister's mansion!"

"You don't need to worry about this, the king has already brought it! Come on, the title!"

Li Chengqian had thought about everything that might happen in advance.

Pei Ji wanted to die already, and there was something like this!
At this time, everyone began to weigh the corn, and as the numbers continued to be reported, what he did not expect was that the weight of these corns exceeded 20 stones.

You must know that the weight of these corns will still fall when placed in a cool place. If it is not bad at all and it is heavier, it means that there must be tricks in it.

So Li Chengqian shouted: "Pei Ji! How dare you tease me!"

"I don't understand, His Royal Highness dare not!"

"Don't dare? Where did the corn go?"

"Here's the corn?"

"I gave you 20 stones, but here is an extra stone! How do you explain it?"

"That's right, His Royal Highness! It's all here, I dare not lie to you."

Pei Ji refused to admit it.

Li Chengqian was not afraid that he would not admit it, so he said to Xue Rengui: "Xue Rengui split this bag open for me, I want to see what is inside!"

"Yes!"

Xue Rengui picked up Fang Tian's painting halberd, and as soon as the halberd went down, the bag of corn broke directly.

Several corns were exposed from it, and several bricks were exposed.

Then Pei Ji was shocked when he saw this.

"His Royal Highness, please forgive me. I really don't know what's going on, why there are a few bricks here."

"Pei Ji, do you still want to lie to me? You did it! This king trusts you so much in entrusting you to keep these corns, but you ignore my entrustment. Tell me! Did you eat those corns?" ?”

"Wronged! The minister is wronged."

"Don't tell me you were wronged, just invite me honestly, or you will be punished with great punishment!"

Li Chengqian spoke very harshly, making Pei Ji a little worried.

This eight-year-old child is too strong, and his temper is even more outrageous.

It made him feel a little frightened.

"The minister was wronged, someone must be trying to harm the minister!"

Li Chengqian didn't let him do this, Pei Ji opened his eyes and told nonsense.

"Not recruiting, right? Xue Rengui took Pei Ji down for me!"

Xue Rengui should be, and then he lifted Pei Ji up with his hand.

Just like an eagle catching a chick, poor Pei Ji, although physically strong, in front of Xue Rengui, is like a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, allowing Xue Rengui to ravage him.

It was a great blessing for Li Chengqian to get such a fierce man like Xue Rengui.

"Tell me, where is the corn?"

"His Royal Highness, I don't know!"

Li Chengqian didn't understand, even after he asked this question, Pei Ji still didn't say anything, could it be because of Wang Guifei?

If so, it must be Wang Guifei. What benefits did it give him?
And Xue Rengui pressed Pei Ji to the ground, waiting for Li Chengqian's order.

As long as Li Chengqian gives an order, he will do what he wants, no matter what it is, it only needs one word.

"Do you want to say it? If you don't say it, I will be punished!"

"His Royal Highness, I really don't know!"

This guy's mouth is really hard, it's this time, and he still looks like this.

So the more this is the case, the better!
