Not long after Butler Wang left, Wang Shun returned.
He ran back excitedly.
"Your Highness, I found out!"
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and became interested.
In the afternoon, he had asked Wang Shun to investigate the little loli Guoguo and her sister. He did not expect there to be news so soon.
"Speak." Li Chengqian said concisely.
Wang Shun said with a smile.
"Your Highness, I've investigated thoroughly."
"The older one is called Li Ying, and the younger one is called Li Guo.”
"Her family is from Guanzhong. Her family can be considered a scholarly family.”
"In the end, there was a great drought in Guanzhong and it was robbed by a group of people.”
"My parents starved to death in order to leave food for the two of them.”
"Later, Li Ying heard that His Highness was here to provide disaster relief and buried his parents, so he brought Li Guo here.”
Li Chengqian nodded thoughtfully.
Wang Shun looked at Li Chengqian with anticipation.
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian said to Wang Shun.
"Find a few people and ask them to investigate the person who robbed their house and caused their parents to starve to death. Find him and bring him back!”
Wang Shun nodded and said.
Your Highness, I've told the black-armored soldiers guarding the civilians to keep an eye on them. No one else is allowed to…"
Li Chengqian nodded in satisfaction.
As expected, these eunuchs knew how to read people's expressions!
No wonder so many emperors in history were bewitched by eunuchs.
'No, I still have to be a little vigilant,' Li Chengqian warned himself.
However, he still smiled at Wang Shun and said,
"Withdraw fifty taels of silver from the treasury yourself. This is your reward!”
Wang Shun smiled even more brightly.
Wasn't it just for this reason that she had spent so much effort to hug Li Chengqian's thigh?
Li Chengqian waved his hand and asked Wang Shun to follow. He was prepared to go to the Qing River to see how the dredging of the river was going.
The few of them stood on the riverbank and looked into the distance.
The people who were dredging the river under the river bank stretched far into the distance. Li Chengqian could not see the end with a glance.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but become interested.
Thus, he brought Wang Shun, Cheng Chumo, and the others along the river bank.
They left for an hour.
An hour later, they still hadn't seen the end of the migrant workers…
Li Chengqian could not help having a trace of doubt in his heart, so he asked Wang Shun.
"For people like them, they walk for an hour. Just walking alone will take a lot of time, right?”
Wang Shun hurriedly shook his head and explained,
"Your Highness, it's not like that."
"Look over there, there's also our steward and the Black Armored Army.”
"They will set up camp here and only return when the river is cleared.”
"Before that, they will rest here.”
" And every once in a while, we would set up a camp and give them some food…"
“……”
After Wang Shun's explanation, Li Chengqian understood.
The ancients weren't that stupid. They just didn't have a higher understanding of the universe than modern people!
If a person from the future came to the modern era, it would be the same as Li Chengqian coming to the Tang Dynasty!
It was simply a dimensional blow!
Just as Li Chengqian was about to bring his men back, a commoner who was still dredging the river suddenly shouted for Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian stood there and waited for a while.
Then, he saw the citizen running over with a few huge eels.
"Your Highness, I caught this when I was digging the river. I dug out a eel nest and gave it to you as a gift.”
Li Chengqian looked at the eel that was as thick as a wrist and could not help but be interested.
In the future, it was almost impossible to have such a thick eel!
Even if there were such thick ones, they were all fed medicine to grow up!
If some streamers saw this, they probably wouldn't dare to try it either. It was too f * cking thick!
Li Chengqian didn't reject these eels.
He asked Wang Shun to take the eels and then gave the citizen some silver.
However, this commoner did not accept it. Instead, he quickly ran away. After running far away, he turned around and said loudly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you saved us, you are a living god!”
"Now, we eat porridge for every meal and eat meat from time to time. It's all thanks to you!”
"This is nothing!"
As he spoke, he picked up his tools and continued to dredge the river.
Li Chengqian smiled and shook his head. Then, he asked Wang Shun to ask for the name of this civilian from the Black-armored Army and give him one more day's work points.
Looking at these few eels, Li Chengqian felt that his taste buds were secreting saliva.
No matter how it was braised or cooked, it was still very fragrant!
And it was f * cking nourishing!
The way he looked at Cheng Chumo changed, and then he said to him with a wicked smile.
"Let's go. I'll nourish your kidneys tonight!”
Cheng Chumo didn't know anything about eels.
Although he was very puzzled, he still followed Li Chengqian back to Huayang City.
As soon as they arrived at their residence, Li Chengqian handed the eel to the chef and instructed.
"Don't throw away the eel blood. Put it in the pot!”
One had to know that the eel blood was also very nutritious!
