The first step is to give Boss Chen a level playing field.

Li Chengqian decided to go to see him, show his identity, and not seek power to oppress others, but asked him to put away his personal feelings and judge the case fairly.

And when he asked the biggest official in Qizhou, he was naturally afraid that this county official would not know the prince, and the assassin should be more knowledgeable like the mayor.

"We'll go into town now." Li Chengqian said.

Xiao Chen was overjoyed when he heard that Li Chengqian cared about her family so much, and nodded, "Okay." ”

summoned Lao Zeng and asked him to prepare the horses, then explained to Chen's father and went out.

Here, of course, Xiao Chen was embarrassed to ride the same horse with Li Chengqian, and she was still the kind that was held in Li Chengqian's arms. Fortunately, the road here is not as uneven as just now, so Xiao Chen is not guilty of taking the carriage.

Li Chengqian went out with more than 30 guards and headed for Qizhou City. When I arrived in Qizhou City, I felt that the prosperity level was less than half of Chang'an, and it was only half a day's road from Chang'an, and the difference in the prosperity of this region was really big.

When he arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, Lao Zeng stepped forward to report. But because it couldn't be said that the prince was coming, this caused a misunderstanding among the officers and soldiers guarding the gate: "You are from the capital, why don't you go to the post station?" ”

"Oh, we're here to visit Zhang Tingshi, and I'm tired of reporting it." Lao Zeng explained.

The doorkeeper looked at him, then went in to report. In the middle of the night, the doorkeeper came out, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper. He looked at Li Chengqian and asked, "May I ask which son in the capital is the son, why did you come to visit my master?" ”

Naturally, it was not easy to show his identity at the door, but Li Chengqian thought of a way and said: "I am the nephew of the king of Hejian County, Li Gaoming, passing through Qizhou, to visit the Duke of Yanguo!" ”

The housekeeper was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed: "It turned out to be Li Shizi, the old slave was rude!" Li Shizi quickly follow the old slave into the house! ”

The son of the prince is called the son.

The logic of this housekeeper is that the nephew of the king of Hejian County should also be the son of the prince, so he thinks that he is the son of the world. Li Chengqian felt that the logic of this housekeeper was really in line with his wishes.

There is already a family member who was sent by the housekeeper to inform Zhang Liang inside. But Li Chengqian walked to the front of the main hall, but Zhang Liang did not come out to greet him, and sat in the hall for a while before Zhang Liang came out.

"Hahaha...... I don't know which nephew came to see the old man? Zhang Liangren arrived before he arrived, and with such a sentence, most of the depression that made people wait for a long time disappeared.

But when he saw Li Chengqian, he was stunned for a moment: "You...... Your Highness...... Minister Zhang Liang has seen His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

It seems that this is a big official who has seen the prince, and Li Chengqian is not surprised, and hurriedly said: "Duke Yan Guogong doesn't need to be polite. ”

The housekeeper next to Zhang Liang was stupid, but he didn't expect that the prince who was exposed here by the master was not the prince, but the prince.

Li Chengqian smiled at the housekeeper, and then explained to Zhang Liang the reason why he had a private interview with Weifu and didn't want his identity to be exposed. Zhang Liang immediately understood, and instructed the people who were here just now to keep it secret and not to spread it out.

"Your Highness is here to play in Qizhou?" Zhang Liang asked after waiting for the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers to sit down.

"No, something happened to my Chen Zhaoxun's family, and I accompanied her over to take a look." Li Chengqian said.

"Chen Zhaoxun?" Zhang Liang looked at Xiao Chen, his face changed slightly, this prince came here for the sake of a little wife's maiden family, it's a bit ridiculous, but he is a subordinate, and this matter can't be criticized, so his face returned to normal, and asked, "It turns out that Chen Zhaoxun is from Qizhou." I don't know what happened to the Chen family, do you need Zhang's help? ”

Just now, Zhang Liang called himself a minister, and now he is called Zhang, which is to imply that he will help personally and will not help in official affairs.

Li Chengqian heard this, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help, this time I came to visit Yan Guogong, first, to greet the elders with the juniors, and second, I want to report to the Duke of Yan Guo that there are faint officials in Qizhou who do not distinguish between right and wrong." ”

"Oh, I don't know which subordinate His Highness wants to report to the minister? And why? Zhang Liang immediately took a businesslike attitude and asked.

Li Chengqian said directly: "Report Chen County official Wang Fu." He wronged Chen Qiuming and favored Xiao Rong. ”

Chen Qiuming is Xiao Chen's eldest brother's name, and Xiao Rong is the plaintiff of the Xiao family.

Li Chengqian told Zhang Liang about Chen Qiuming and Xiao Rong.

Zhang Liang didn't immediately express his position after hearing this, and asked, "What does Your Highness think should be done?" ”

"I don't think it's right for Wang Fu to only treat the Chen family as a businessman, and the Xiao family as a victim. Both the Xiao family and the Chen family were businessmen. That's fair. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes lit up. At first, he thought that Li Chengqian would say good things about the Chen family, and used his identity to force Zhang Liang to release Chen Qiuming, but now after listening to his words, he found that he was just talking about things.

This made Zhang Liang decide to talk to Li Chengqian instead of perfunctory him.

Why does the prince think so? Many businessmen have the purpose of harvesting other people's money, this Chen family received the Xiao family restaurant, the Xiao family couldn't sell the medicinal materials and destroyed the medicinal materials and lost the capital, isn't this the hateful thing about the Chen family's businessmen? Zhang Liang said.

This Zhang Liang is really polite to speak, Xiao Chen is still here, he was not polite at all when he said the Chen family.

"It's true that businessmen can't afford to make profits, but Yan Guogong also made the same mistake as Wang Fu here, the Chen family is a businessman, the Xiao family is also a businessman, and his Xiao family is also running for a profit. Moreover, doing business is based on fairness, the Chen family and the Xiao family bought a restaurant, which was a fair transaction, and the Xiao family asked the Chen family to buy medicinal materials, which was a fair transaction. Both times it was done willingly. Once the deal is over, the business counts. This Xiao family actually let the medicinal herbs have the face to ask for a return after being drenched in the rain, which is a scoundrel. Wang Fu and Yan Guogong can be sentenced like this, that is, the Xiao family has long recognized the faces of these officials! Li Chengqian felt that there was no need to be subtle when talking to Zhang Liang, so he said directly.

Zhang Liang laughed when he heard this, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that the minister has become an accomplice of the Xiao family?" ”

"Almost." Li Chengqian said unceremoniously.

"Your Highness, that's what you said, but what you said, the Chen family bought a restaurant and killed the master of the Xiao family, this is the injustice. If you don't buy a restaurant, how can the old man of the Xiao family die? Do you think it has nothing to do with the Chen family, but the county magistrate judges the case, more based on public opinion, and the people only look at the plaintiff's victimization, if the Chen family is not sentenced, the county official will not be able to continue! Zhang Liang said.

"Doesn't that protect the merchant at all? And this official can't judge the case fairly, and he has to think about it so much, isn't he wronging a good person? Li Chengqian was not convinced, "This kind of judgment is too flexible." Gong Guo, I didn't want to use my identity to suppress people this time, but I have to use my identity to suppress you now, you have to give the Chen family a fair treatment! ”
