Demoness Cheng was very confused about this mission. Logically speaking, she should have found a virtuous person to go to Suzhou, but she was actually sent there.
Could it be that His Majesty was going to start a massacre?
"Emperor, you want me to go to the disaster relief, isn't this cheating me?”In the royal study, Demoness Cheng began to complain. This was completely inappropriate.
If his bad temper went wrong, something would probably happen. Was this really reliable?
Li Shiming glanced at Demoness Cheng and saw her dumbfounded expression. He couldn't help but laugh."We have to rely on you, Zhijie. You are a legend of our Great Tang, and you will definitely be able to suppress those people.”
"Besides, your mission is very simple. It's to distribute disaster relief food and then prevent people from inciting rebellion. This isn't difficult for you.”
Demoness Cheng accepted the mission with a bitter face. Since the Emperor had already said so, what else could he do? He couldn't go against the imperial edict, right?
As he walked, he arrived at King Qin's residence and his eyes lit up.
There were smart people here, and they might have a good idea.
"Your Highness, Lord Cheng Yaojin is here again!”Xiao He shouted and rushed to the side of Li Yin's rocking chair. Her face was filled with fear. Cheng Yaojin was too terrifying.
"What? Cheng Yaojin is here again?"
Li Yin couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What was going on with this Cheng Yaojin? He really treated this place as his home. He actually came here time and time again.
"Nephew, your Uncle Cheng is here again!”
From afar, she could hear Cheng Yaojin's loud voice. He had come uninvited. He walked into Li Yin's courtyard and laid down beside him. He immediately felt extremely comfortable.
"No wonder you like to lie on this chair. It's really comfortable.”He couldn't help but praise.
Li Yin glanced at him and said unhappily,"If you have something to say to me, just say it. This is not your character!”
"The emperor asked me to go to Suzhou to relieve the disaster!"
Puff!
Li Yin spat out a mouthful of tea. Was his father senile? He actually sent Cheng Yaojin to help the disaster relief. This guy wouldn't go on a killing spree, right?
"Why? Do you think I'm unreliable too?”Cheng Yaojin saw Li Yin's reaction and was immediately unhappy.
He didn't trust Old Cheng. This was ridiculous.
"Please, you don't even trust yourself. How do you think I can trust you?”Li Yin was speechless. This guy really had some self-awareness.
However, even though he said that, he was thinking about it in his heart. Li Shiming definitely wouldn't suddenly go crazy and send Cheng Yaojin. Something must have happened.
Cheng Yaojin didn't hide anything and told Li about what happened in court today. Li was shocked.
Since ancient times, emperors had always been afraid of such rumors. Now, someone actually caused such a scene a few days before Li Shiming ascended the throne. This was definitely courting death.
Li Shi Min was furious.
When the emperor was angry, blood would definitely flow like a river.
He needed a knife, and Cheng Yaojin was undoubtedly a candidate. He was a pure general who could execute orders perfectly.
"Hehe, Uncle Cheng, this is a good job. At a time like this in Suzhou, there would definitely be profiteers taking the opportunity to raise the price of grain. You just had to kill a batch. The fastest way to relieve the disaster was to directly confiscate the family's property and distribute the food.”
Cheng Yaojin was excited after hearing this. Although this idea was not very brilliant, it was not a bad idea.
"Kid, you're quite interesting. You're so young, yet you're so murderous.”He could not help but sigh.
His son was also considered a rare general talent, but when it came to killing the enemy, he was not as decisive as Li Yin. He really could not be compared to others.
"Killing bad people is doing good.”Li Yin smiled. These profiteers had no conscience at all. At this time, they were still eating meat buns. Death was the best choice for them.
Cheng Yaojin smiled and didn't dwell on this matter. Instead, he said strangely,""Right, today Hou Junji mentioned Daoist Longhu. He wants to use him to pray for rain.”
Praying for rain?
Li Yin couldn't help but smile wryly. Hou Junji was a man of some stature, yet he actually believed in praying for rain? This was a bit of nonsense.
However, Immortal Longhu was the best at fooling people. It was not impossible for him to fool a few people. The key was that the rumors had spread that this guy was powerful even if he was not.
Praying for rain was something that he had never heard of being very effective. However, it was rumored that Yuan Tiangang and the others could calculate the time of rain. He did not know if it was true or not.
There were many rivers in Suzhou, and they were connected to the Yellow River. However, there was still a lack of rain. It seemed that it was only in some areas. Wait, if it was only a part of the area, then there was water in other places.
As long as the water flow was connected, the drought would be resolved. Thinking of this, Li Yin's eyes suddenly lit up. Perhaps he could give it a try.
"Uncle Cheng, I think there's something that might be able to solve the drought problem.”
"What is so powerful?" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed.
After Li Yin whispered in his ear, the latter immediately left excitedly. This was a great merit, so he had to end this quickly.
"Cheng Yaojin is really an instant kill. No wonder father is so fond of him. The key is that this guy will cause trouble.”
If he really took down the drought in Suzhou, he would definitely be the first to take the credit. At that time, his position in Li Shiming's heart would be even more important.
One shouldn't look down on a person trying to make his presence known. After all, there were many generals who participated in the Black Tortoise Gate incident. However, in the end, they were all sidelined because they didn't know how to make their presence known.
Not long after Cheng Yaojin left, several carriages arrived at Li's residence. It was actually the copper coins that Cheng Yaojin had sent over. There were several big boxes, which was simply scary.
The person who sent the money was actually Cheng Chuliang, the son of Cheng Yaojin. Old Cheng was very thoughtful.
"Your Highness, my father said that I will be following you for the next few days. If there's anything, just tell me directly.”Cheng Chuliang said respectfully.
Follow me?
"This old thing!" Li Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Cheng Yaojin was really at ease. Wasn't he afraid that he would bring trouble to his son? He was simply big-hearted.
Looking at Cheng Chuliang's worshipful expression, Li Yin was a little proud. This guy could be considered his fan.
"Alright then. It just so happens that there are a lot of things to do these days. You can stay here and do odd jobs.”
The perfume business was on the right track, and the cold drink shop was also included in the schedule. These things needed people to carry out. Cheng Chuliang, a rich second-generation heir, was a good candidate.
With Cheng Yaojin in the Cheng family, it was destined that no one would easily offend him. It was completely not worth it.
"Your Highness, I heard that your martial arts are very powerful. I would like to ask for your advice!”
Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up as he said excitedly.
