"Your Highness?"
Du Ruhui frowned and looked at Li Ke curiously.
This handsome young man in front of him had been making a scene recently.
This time, when he saw it with his own eyes, he felt that Li Ke was worthy of the heavy responsibility, but it was a pity that his bloodline was a problem.
"Uh, this commoner greets Minister Du."
"Minister Du called the wrong person. I am just an ordinary citizen.”
Li Ke returned to his senses and saluted Du Ruhui with his hands crossed.
Just now, the system suddenly sounded, causing Li Ke to be unable to react for a moment.
It seemed that there would be some setbacks and hardships when monopolizing the industry.
As long as the setbacks and tribulations were resolved, the system would reward him according to the degree of monopoly.
"This…"
"Then... Boss Li, can you hand these felons over to me?”
A complicated expression flashed across Du Ruhui's face.
He lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, but he still did not continue to call Li Ke King of Shu.
"These people invaded my mansion and tried to steal my Summer Ice Secret Technique. They even threatened my life.”
"If we just hand it over to Minister Du like this, wouldn't it be unreasonable? Shouldn't he hand it over to the capital governor first?”
Li Ke said in a deep voice.
He looked deeply at the person in front of him.
This was the famous Du Ruhui in history.
He was the leader of the 18 scholars and participated in the planning of the "Xuanwu Gate Rebellion". He was awarded the title of Duke Cai.
If he remembered correctly, Du Ruhui should be 44 years old at this time, which was the most glorious time in a man's life.
However, the man in front of her gave off the feeling that he was already in his fifties. His sideburns were white, and he was so thin that both sides of his face were sunken.
No wonder this person died early in history.
It seemed that he had over-exhausted himself.
"What are your conditions, Boss Li?”
Du Ruhui frowned and said in a deep voice.
He had come too suddenly, without any orders to search or arrest.
If Li Ke insisted that he colluded with the masked man, then he could not find a reason to deny this.
Moreover, normally, the masked man would be handed over to the capital government to deal with.
But the current governor is not the emperor's man
"Two conditions."
Li Ke said indifferently.
"Please speak."
Du Ruhui frowned even more.
"First, make him apologize to me."
"Secondly, I guarantee that there will be no non-commercial competition in my business in the future.”
Li Ke pointed at Li Er and said calmly.
Li Ermeng's body trembled twice, and he almost flew into a rage.
This damned unfilial son actually dares to ask me to apologize to him?
No way, it was absolutely impossible!
"I can guarantee you the second condition.”
"However, the first rule is out of the question. Even if the other party is a felon, I have no right to order them.”
Du Ruhui glanced at the masked Li Er and said in a deep voice.
His voice was very firm. This was a situation where there was no room for discussion. It was absolutely impossible.
He was also prepared to start a war of words with Li Ke.
"Okay, then you can take them away."
Li Ke looked at Li Er with slight disdain and waved his hand casually.
His guess had been confirmed. There was no way to keep these masked men.
"Um."
"Thank you, Boss Li. I'll take my leave first.”
Du Ruhui was stunned. He didn't expect Li Ke to be so straightforward.
He took a deep look at Li Ke and led Li Er and Li Junxian away.
Dragon One and the others also dispersed and hid somewhere in the mansion.
Only Li Ke and Zhangsun Zhexian were left at the scene.
"You're just going to let him off so easily?"
Zhangsun Zhexian sized Li Ke up as if it was his first time meeting him.
Although he had only spent two days with Li Ke, in Zhangsun Zhexian's eyes, Li Ke was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
The other party had clearly fallen into his hands. Even if Minister Du came personally, he could not just say that the other party was a felon and take him away.
If it was him, he would definitely take off the other party's mask, recognize the other party, and then beat him up ruthlessly.
"Little girl, use your eyes to see and your brain to think.”
"Go to sleep. Remember to wake up early tomorrow to make breakfast.”
Li Ke glanced at Zhangsun Zhexian and shook his head.
After he finished speaking, Li Ke ignored Zhangsun Zhexian's reaction and turned to leave.
"You, you are the little girl. Your whole family is a little girl!”
Zhangsun Zhexian was instantly enraged. He pointed at Li Ke's back and cursed.
She was the daughter of the Zhangsun family and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, yet she was called a little girl.
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Damn you, Li Ke. I, Zhangsun Zhexian, will not let you off.
Zhangsun Zhexian cursed for a long time before he calmed down.
She calmed down, wondering why Minister Du would suddenly come tonight.
......
The next day at dawn.
Zhangsun Zhexian was helped out of bed by two maids.
Last night, Li Ke asked her to make breakfast, so she naturally handed it over to the two maids.
Now that breakfast was ready, Zhangsun Zhexian had to personally deliver it to Li Ke.
"Damned Li Ke, you actually dare to order this young lady to work. Be careful that I add some ingredients to you.”
On the way, Zhangsun Zhexian carried his breakfast and complained about Li Ke's unreasonable request for him to personally deliver breakfast.
He even wanted to secretly add some spice to Li Ke's bowl and let Li Ke know the consequences of offending him.
Zhangsun Zhexian's little heart was eager to test it out, but her good upbringing prevented her from doing so.
The mansion was very big, so Li Ke's courtyard was naturally very big.
There was a garden, a rockery, a pond, and other standard features of a mansion.
In the end, Zhangsun Zhexian found Li Ke in the backyard garden.
"Is this guy a flower lover?"
"I didn't expect him to be such a caring man.”
Zhangsun Zhexian saw Li Ke squatting in the middle of the garden.
Although his back was facing her, she could see that Li Ke was tidying up the flowers and plants.
Zhangsun Zhexian didn't like to wield knives and spears, nor did he like needlework.
Other than reading, practicing calligraphy, painting, and learning the piano, his leisure time was to admire the flowers.
Accompanied by flowers, Zhangsun Zhexian felt that he was accompanied by beautiful things.
Zhangsun Zhexian's mood was especially good when she saw the blooming flowers.
Of course, she was not the kind of person who loved flowers as much as her life. She just felt that flowers were beautiful and worthy of love.
However, Zhangsun Zhexian suddenly saw Li Ke's hands clearly, and her expression instantly froze.
Li Ke's hands were picking flowers mercilessly in the garden. His actions were very rough and did not have a trace of love.
It was as if there was a crack in the depths of her heart. Zhangsun Zhexian's hand that was holding the breakfast loosened and fell to the ground with a clang.
"What's wrong with you so early in the morning?”
Li Ke turned his head and looked at Zhangsun Zhexian's appearance as he asked curiously.
At the same time, he stood up and walked out of the garden with several of the most brilliant flowers in his hand.
"You... you... Why did you pick these flowers and plants?”
"They are at the most brilliant time of their lives. Isn't it good to stay and admire them? Wouldn't it be a pity to pluck it?"
Zhangsun Zhexian's expression stiffened. He felt as if he had misjudged someone.
Just a moment ago, he thought that Li Ke was a very kind person, but in the next moment, he had changed drastically.
"Can't I admire it after taking it off?”
Li Ke rolled his eyes and looked at Zhangsun Zhexian speechlessly.
"But... However, he could admire them for a longer time if he kept them.”
Zhangsun Zhexian felt sad.
Looking at the bunch of flowers in Li Ke's hands, he felt unhappy.
They were all such beautiful flowers, but they were cruelly plucked by Li Ke. What a pitiful flower.
"If the flower can be broken, it must be broken. Don't wait for the flower to be broken.”
"I naturally have my own use for picking these flowers. If you're unwilling to plant your own flowers, I won't pick yours.”
Li Ke directly bypassed Zhangsun Zhexian and sat down at the stone table.
"You!"
Zhangsun Zhexian was furious and caught up with Li Ke.
She was very angry and wanted to argue with Li Ke. She even wanted to snatch the flowers from Li Ke's hands.
