Zhao Gui was shocked instantly, and then jumped up from the chair.

He had promised the eighth prince before that he would send a message to Li Junxian's general guard, but he let their pigeons go and ran away early.

Zhao Gui thought that this was not a big deal, but he didn't expect the Eighth Prince to come to his door anyway?

Zhao Gui opened the door and saw two people, one old and one young, running towards his house angrily.

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Gui, and said, "Zhao Gui, don't run away!"

"Ah... eighth, eighth prince, why are you here?"

"Ding, fear from Zhao Gui, naughty value +80!"

Zhao Gui was instantly paralyzed with fright.

Li Chengfeng rolled up his sleeves, ran towards Zhao Gui, grabbed his collar, and shouted: "Zhao Gui, what about the matter of letting me go? Do you know that this almost killed my father?" died?"

"Well, I don't know. I suddenly thought of something urgent at home, so I came back early. I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious?"

"So, how do you want us to punish you?"

Li Chengfeng and Li Shimin looked at Zhao Gui covetously.

Suddenly, a serious voice sounded from the backyard of the Zhao family's mansion, shouting: "Presumptuous, who dares to mess around in my Zhao's mansion? Zhao Gui, you stand back and let the old man meet them!"

I saw an old man with a white beard, leading a group of servants, walking towards Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng.

"Come on, arrest the two of them who caused trouble in my house!"

The person who came was Zhao Xuan, the third-rank servant of the court.

Earlier, Zhao Xuan heard from a servant that someone came to trouble Zhao Gui?

Although Zhao Xuan didn't know what trouble Zhao Gui caused outside, but Zhao Gui was Zhao Xuan's son, and if his son was beaten, could I not protect his son?

Just when the servants were holding sticks in their hands, they surrounded Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng.

Li Shimin shouted angrily immediately, and said, "Bastard, which of you dares to do something to my eighth prince? It's against the sky?"

"Huh? I? The Eighth Prince?"

Zhao Xuan stood there in a daze.

After Zhao Xuan had a clear look at the person who came, Zhao Xuan immediately knelt down on the ground with a terrified sound, and kowtowed: "Old, old minister Zhao Xuan, my respects, my majesty, my eighth prince!"

emperor? The Eighth Prince?

Zhao Gui was stunned, looking at the old and the young in front of him.

He didn't expect that the old man next to the eighth prince was Li Shimin, the current emperor?

You won't be so unlucky, will you? Actually offended the emperor and the eighth prince at the same time?

Zhao Gui also instantly knelt down in fright.

Afterwards, Zhao Xuan ordered the guards to throw away the weapons in their hands, and knelt down to Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng collectively.

Li Shimin stroked his beard, and said majesticly: "Well, Zhao Xuan, you still have eyes. If you don't even know me, then I'm really going to steal your Zhao family mansion!"

Zhao Xuan wanted to cry immediately, and said: "Your Majesty, my son Zhao Gui, how did you offend the two of you? Also, please the Emperor, for the old minister's sake, spare his life Your Majesty, the old minister is just like this My child, if he dies, then the old minister will be a white-haired man to a black-haired man!"

As he spoke, Zhao Xuan began to cry.

Li Shimin snorted coldly, and said: "Humph, Zhao Xuan, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just want to ask Zhao Gui, why did he release General Li Junxian's pigeons at that time? I almost died in Xuanwu Zong Nei? Zhao Gui, how will you bear this crime?"

Zhao Gui was so frightened that his feet were a little limp. He had indeed promised the Eighth Prince that he would wait for someone to arrive, and then he would tell them the whereabouts of Xuanwuzong.

Zhao Gui thought this was not a big deal, but unexpectedly, the emperor almost died in the Xuanwu Sect because of this incident?

Zhao Gui said tremblingly: "Reporting to the emperor, little one, I didn't know that such a big incident would happen? At that time, I was just afraid of getting involved in officialdom, so I went home early, but Little one didn't expect the consequences to be so serious?"

Li Shimin also knew that Zhao Gui had nothing to do with his arrest by Xuanwuzong.

He came here this time mainly to scare Zhao Gui.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng said: "Zhao Gui, do you know how many serious crimes you have committed?"

"Report to the Eighth Prince! The little one doesn't know!"

"Okay, then let me tell you!"

Li Chengfeng snapped his fingers and said, "First, you promised me, but you didn't keep your promise? This is deceiving the dignity of the royal family! This is unbelief! Second, you made money from the country's calamity to raise the price of rice? This is injustice! Thirdly, as a member of the Tang Dynasty, you use this method to welcome the Emperor and the Eighth Prince? This is disloyalty!"

"So, you are an unfaithful, unrighteous and unbelieving person, so kill yourself!"

"Ding, fear from Zhao Gui, naughty value +100!"

"Ding, panic from Zhao Xuan, naughty value +120!"

Zhao Gui was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and said: "I made a mistake, Eighth Prince, please forgive me, I really know I was wrong, please bypass me, I promise you everything, as long as you Don't kill me!"

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan also knelt down to Li Shimin, kowtowed heavily, and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive my son Zhao Gui for the sake of the veteran's service for the Tang Dynasty for many years. He was just confused for a while. Confused!"

In fact, the mistakes Zhao Gui made were not that serious.

Li Shimin and Li Chengfeng came to him just to vent their anger.

How dare a son of a petty official deceive the Eighth Prince? According to Li Chengfeng's character of vengeance, he must not be able to bear it.

"Feng'er, what do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengfeng.

Kill, probably not kill Zhao Gui.

After all, he didn't commit any major crimes.

The corner of Li Chengfeng's mouth turned up, he looked at Zhao Gui, and said, "Zhao Gui!"

"Yes, the little one is here!"

"Don't say that our royal people are ruthless~ www.mtlnovel.com~ The mistakes you made, capital punishment is inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable! Because you set prices up and raised the price of folk grains, the emperor and I are going to fine you one hundred thousand catties Food, donated to the country, what do you think?"

After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, Zhao Gui was dumbfounded.

"Ten, one hundred thousand gold grains?"

However, it was still Zhao Xuan who quickly answered the words, knelt down and bowed to Li Chengfeng, and said, "Thank you, the Eighth Prince, for not killing me, and thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me! We promise the Eighth Prince and Your Majesty, and take ten Thousands of catties of grain, to offset my son Zhao Gui's mistakes! Your Majesty, Eighth Prince, what do you think?"

"Well, my majesty is very satisfied!"

"Alright, since the Eighth Prince is satisfied, then I have nothing to say!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

Zhao Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Using one hundred thousand catties of grain in exchange for my son's life is worth it, very worth it.
