Chapter 38: Li Tai is overjoyed

~9 min read 1,619 words

"Your subject will make the Prince of Wei take the initiative to ask for the bamboo paper."

Li Chunfeng didn't think for long before agreeing. Not for anything else, but because Li Chengqian knew the 'Classic of Stars by Gan and Shi'.

This was written by his father. Not many people knew about it, and he didn't specifically spread it.

In his view, Li Chengqian being able to know this book and know who the author was was enough to prove that Li Chengqian had read this book, which was enough to help with this favor.

Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Make the bamboo paper first; we'll talk about woodblock movable type printing in a while."

"Yes!"

With the help of Li Chunfeng, a Daoist, there was some certainty in persuading Sun Simiao.

At the same time, in a casino in Pingkang Fang, Yuwen Ding was confronting the casino boss with a group of people:

"Liu Dalang, your people have also returned. Can you take the money out now?"

Liu Hu sneered: "His Majesty hasn't issued an imperial edict. The Crown Prince says he's compiling books, so it's true?

Unless His Majesty issues an imperial edict, don't even think about getting the money."

"You farm slave, how would we know about His Majesty's edict? Does His Majesty have to tell everyone in the world when he issues an edict to the Crown Prince?

The facts are right in front of your eyes, and you still want to play dumb. Are you trying to swallow our money?"

"You pigs and dogs, do I need to swallow your money?

All of you, get lost, otherwise the fists of my brothers won't have eyes."

After speaking, a group of men behind Liu Hu stepped forward one after another to push Yuwen Ding and the others.

"You dogs of Liu Hu, don't blame me for being impolite if you dare to make a move again!"

"I'm not afraid of you! All of you, get lost. A group of dogs and pigs dare to come and make trouble!"

"Bang!"

Cold light flashed in Yuwen Ding's eyes, and he punched the other person in the face directly.

Following Yuwen Ding's move, the whole scene became chaotic. The sounds of smashing, screaming, and roaring were endless.

"Ah..."

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"..."

Liu Hu, who was standing on the side, saw this and roared:

"All of you, come out and throw these dog shits out."

As soon as the voice fell, more than ten strong men crawled out from the backyard one after another and pounced directly on Yuwen Ding and the others.

With these dozen people joining the fight, the originally evenly matched sides instantly became one-sided.

Yuwen Ding knew that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to complete the mission. He gritted his teeth, and murderous intent filled his eyes:

"Brothers, capture the king first to capture the bandits. Catch Liu Hu and don't let him run!

Liu Hu, if you have the guts, stand still and don't move!"

As the voice fell, Yuwen Ding dodged the attacks of others, and then his whole body rushed straight toward Liu Hu like an arrow from a bow.

Liu Hu looked disdainful and stood still. He knew someone would stop Yuwen Ding.

Just as Liu Hu thought, Yuwen Ding was stopped by two strong men halfway through his rush.

Fortunately, the others had just heard Yuwen Ding's words and broke away from their opponents one after another to rush toward Liu Hu.

The two sides approached Liu Hu step by step, and Liu Hu also retreated step by step.

Suddenly, a table fell from the second floor of the casino and smashed directly behind Liu Hu, making a violent sound.

"Boom!"

Liu Hu was startled, which made him stop his steps involuntarily, and it was this stop that made Yuwen Ding and the others surround him.

Dozens of people were fighting each other in a small place, and Liu Hu had no choice but to participate in the fight.

Seeing this, Yuwen Ding grinned, no longer holding back his strength, knocked down the people blocking him in a few moves, and then took a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into Liu Hu's heart with force.

After doing all this, Yuwen Ding didn't even look to see if Liu Hu was dead and went straight to the second floor to take Yang Xian away.

When Yuwen Ding and the other left, the fighting below was still continuing, and it only stopped until the soldiers of the Martial Guard arrived.

"Stop!"

The Martial Guard soldiers shouted sternly: "What are you doing? Do you treat the Tang Law as dog shit?

If you don't stop, don't blame us for not showing mercy."

Saying this, more than ten Martial Guard soldiers drew their long swords one after another.

The arrival of the Martial Guard completely calmed the scene. Only then did someone discover that Liu Hu was dead!

"D-dead!"

And in a shadow in the East Market next to Pingkang Fang, Yang Xian leaned against the wall and gasped for breath:

"Brother Yuwen, why, why did you kill Liu Hu? This is a capital crime.

Leave Chang'an quickly, don't stay here!"

"If I leave, what will happen to you?"

"At most, I'll be charged with gathering a crowd to make trouble and will repair the city wall for a few days.

You still haven't answered me! Why kill Liu Hu?"

Yuwen Ding spoke indifferently: "Behind him is the Prince of Bohai. Only if he dies will the matter blow up.

Let's go! I'll take you to a place!"

"Where to?"

"You'll know when we get there!"

Yuwen Ding straightened his clothes and spoke solemnly:

"Let me reintroduce myself. My ancestor was the Duke of Jin of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Hu. My ancestral home is Wuchuan Garrison."

"Yuwen Hu?"

Yang Xian screamed. He was also a scholar and knew the history of the Northern Zhou period very well.

As Guanlong aristocratic families, the Yuwen family, the Yang family, and the Li family had all obtained the world.

As long as they were scholars, they would focus on studying the history of this period.

"Don't shout! Follow me, I'll take you to get promoted and get rich."

"Good, good, good!"

Although Chang'an was the imperial capital, the affairs within the city were under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. Li Tai, as the Yongzhou Shepherd, received the news immediately.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Li Tai laughed wildly in the Literature Pavilion: "It's really a pie falling from the sky. Big Brother, you can't blame me for this; blame it on the fact that such a coincidence happened in this world."

Su Xu looked confused: "Your Highness, what happened?"

"Haha!"

Li Tai smiled and explained: "Someone in Pingkang Fang opened a gambling game because of the book compilation. Now someone has died because of this, and this casino was set up by the Prince of Bohai."

"This little thing won't affect the Crown Prince's book compilation. Even if His Majesty agrees to let you compile books, there's no reason."

"Uncle, you don't know yet. This morning, Big Brother made a huge scene at the Guozijian because of the book compilation.

Saying something like, as long as it's beneficial to the book compilation, even petty thieves can be used. Libationer Kong was angered to death."

A ray of light flashed in Su Xu's eyes: "As long as we exert a little effort, the whole Chang'an will be discussing it.

As long as those aristocratic families hear this sentence from the Crown Prince, they will definitely not follow the book compilation. Their family rites will not allow them to associate with people who have no benevolence or righteousness."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Yu walked in hurriedly:

"Prince of Wei, the whole Chang'an is now discussing the Crown Prince's book compilation. We can take this opportunity to snatch the book compilation."

??????

Seeing the two of them stunned in place, not speaking for a long time, Xiao Yu was a bit confused:

"What's wrong with you?"

"You just said the whole Chang'an has started discussing it?"

"Yeah!"

"Why? It's just a murder; how could it spread so fast?"

Xiao Yu sneered: "What else could it be? The Prince of Bohai wanted to go to the Prince of Wei's mansion and met the Crown Prince on the way.

The two had a disagreement and started fighting. The Prince of Bohai was chased and beaten by the Crown Prince!

The Crown Prince beating his clan uncle—this kind of lively event is rare in a thousand years."

A trace of suspicion flashed in Su Xu's eyes. He always felt that this matter was too coincidental:

"Where was the Crown Prince going? Why would he meet the Prince of Bohai? Where did they meet?"

Xiao Yu knew what Su Xu meant and explained softly:

"I heard that Imperial Grandson Jue was bullied by Imperial Grandson Xin a few days ago. Today, Imperial Grandson Xiang went to the Prince of Wei's mansion to beat people up to avenge his younger brother.

The Crown Prince was afraid something would happen, so he went to the Prince of Wei's mansion, and the two met at the gate of Yankang Ward just like that.

Prince of Wei, don't worry, Imperial Grandson Xin is fine, just with a few more bruises on his face."

Li Tai let out a sigh of relief. Just hearing that Li Xiang went to beat up his son made him want to return home immediately.

Now he could laugh wantonly: "Hahaha... Big Brother, this time I really have to thank you." ===== CHAPTER 39 =====
