Li Chengqian was not in a hurry to return to Chang 'an. Instead, he stayed in Fanyang and used two days to uproot the remaining forces of the Lu family.
Li Junxian had come that night, but when he saw the scene before him, he silently shut his mouth.
The destruction of the Lu clan had caused a great stir in the Great Tang, and with Fan Yang as the center, the news spread rapidly.
Some of the commoners who had been oppressed by the Lu family for a long time were so excited that they cried bitterly. Some even erected a memorial tablet for Li Chengqian.
Of course, this was all irrelevant.
On the third day, Li Chengqian reorganized his troops and left.
"BenGong hopes that you won't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have and be good officials who make decisions for the people. Otherwise, BenGong's butcher knife may fall at any time.”
Li Chengqian said this to the officials of Fan Yang before he left.
These two days, the officials of Fan Yang were all in danger and were on tenterhooks. Naturally, they agreed to Li Chengqian's words.
[Congratulations to the host for destroying the Lu family. The designated reward has been issued. Please check in the system space.]
In the System Space, 10,000 potatoes piled up like a mountain.
As for the mission of embezzling the compensation money, Li Chengqian had not completed it perfectly, so he did not receive the system notification.
Winter had arrived, and when spring came, these ten thousand potatoes would be planted. At that time, the Great Tang would no longer have famine.
"Your Highness, you have done such a shocking thing. There must be many officials in the court who want to impeach you.”On the way back, Li Junxian couldn't help but remind him.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said indifferently,""Don't worry."
When they went back, they did not rush. Because the Lu family had too much wealth, their speed was not very fast.
Gold, silver, jewelry, real estate deeds, antique calligraphy and paintings…There were dozens of carriages.
Not only that, but there were also a bunch of them in Li Chengqian's system space.
On the carriage was the treasury.
What was in the System Space was naturally his.
Three days later.
In a dilapidated house in the Barren Mountain Village.
A haggard old woman was crying. The dark room made it impossible for her to see anything clearly.
Because she had cried too much during this period of time, and she was about to go blind from crying.
At this moment, a stooped figure walked in with a basket in his hand. There were some withered wild vegetables in it.
It was almost winter, and the wild vegetables had long aged beyond recognition. However, there was no other way. If they did not eat these wild vegetables, the old couple might starve to death.
But…what should he do this winter?
The hunchbacked old man's clothes were ragged. He looked at the old woman who was still crying and sighed,"Our son has already left. Even if you cry, he won't come back to life. Go wash the vegetables and eat something.”
Hearing the old man's words, the old woman did not stop crying. Instead, she cried out loud and said,""Our poor son died on the battlefield. How are we going to live…Without anyone to carry on the family line, our Huang family is going to die…"
He sighed and said," This is fate. This is how fate should be…I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince killed a corrupt official who embezzled the pension. I wonder…Sigh, forget it. What's the use of giving money to these two old farts?"”
The two old men in the room had worried expressions on their faces when a voice sounded.
"Old Yellow Head, come out quickly, come out quickly…"
The old man was startled." It's Muramasa's voice. I'll go take a look."”
Walking out of the house, he saw Muramasa of the Barren Mountain Village. Behind him was a handsome young man and a few guards.
Muramasa was also an old man. When he saw Old Yellow come out, he hurriedly said,"Old Yellow Head, quickly come and greet His Highness the Crown Prince.”
"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" The yellow-haired old man was stunned, and his face was blank. His gaze could not help but look at the extraordinary young man.
Before he could speak, the young man took the lead and bowed to him."Great Tang Crown Prince Li Chengqian greets old sir.”
The village chief was anxious. He hurriedly said," Your Highness the Crown Prince, this is…Sigh, you must not do this. This old yellow-headed villager cannot afford to receive your great gift."”
Old Yellow Head also reacted, and his face turned pale in fear. He said repeatedly,"Your Highness, you can't do this, you can't do this…Aren't you killing me?”
However, Li Chengqian said with a serious expression,""Prefectural Soldier Huang Daniu sacrificed his life for the country and is truly a hero of the Great Tang. You are the father of a hero, so why can't you accept my courtesy? Heroes should be respected by everyone regardless of their origins.”
The yellow-haired old man was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. His lips trembled as he muttered to himself,""My son is a hero, my son is a hero, my son is a hero…"
Then, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he hurriedly turned around and shouted,"Old woman, come out quickly. His Highness the Crown Prince has come to see us. His Highness the Crown Prince said that our son is a hero, a hero…"
The old woman with blurry eyes walked out shakily. She was pulled by the old yellow head, and the two of them knelt down.
" Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This old man…"
"Quickly get up." Li Chengqian said. The two guards hurriedly helped the two of them up.
Li Chengqian took three strings of copper coins from a guard and said,""Old man, the corrupt official has already been killed by bengong. His entire family was beheaded. This copper coin is for you. This is Huang Daniu's compensation.”
