Chapter 66 I'll Give You a Reason You Can't Refuse
There is nothing wrong with what Li Xiang said. As the saying goes, the most disappointing thing is not making a fuss. It would be a shame if you were not reprimanded after making a mistake.

The fact that Li Shimin was willing to beat him up showed that in Li's eyes, Li You could at least be saved.

Li You acted like a sandbag for a long time, and by the time Li Shimin finally calmed down, he had been beaten into a pig's head.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Li Shimin kicked him and angrily cursed: "If I find out that you are doing illegal things in your fiefdom and bullying the people again, I will skin you alive!"

Li You slipped away in disgrace, running away in a cowardly manner.

When he ran to the gate of the imperial city, Yin Hongzhi came forward and asked with concern: "Ayou...hiss."

I took a deep breath because I noticed Li You’s pig-headed face.

"Let's go! Go back to Qizhou!" Li You covered his face with his sleeves and shouted angrily: "After we go back, I swear to kill Quan Wanji!"

"Quan Wanji is your teacher after all, this..."

Although Yin Hongzhi is not a good person, he still has basic common sense.

If Li You was allowed to attack and kill his teacher, not only would Li You be in trouble, but even his uncle, the chief secretary, would suffer.

If he persuaded Li You to rebel, even if he lost, he would die on the road to wealth and fame, at least he would die standing; but Yin Hongzhi felt that it was really unnecessary to be punished by the court for such a trivial matter.

After all, Quan Wanji was not really going after Li You, he was more angry at him for not fighting back.

In Yin Hongzhi's view, keeping Quan Wanji could paralyze the court and allow them to better prepare for the uprising.

But some things are not convenient to say in Chang'an after all. It's okay for Li You to just say a few angry words, but he is really afraid that there are ears on the other side of the wall.

"If the old villain hadn't reported me to the emperor, this wouldn't have happened!" Li You cursed angrily.

As he spoke, the wound on his face moved and Li You couldn't help but cry out.

Yin Hongzhi sighed: "I still hope that Ah You can take a long-term view on this matter. As I just said, Quan Wanji is your teacher. If you commit such a crime of killing your teacher, I am afraid that the saint will be furious and demote you to a commoner."

When he heard that he would be demoted to a commoner, Li You immediately became obedient.

"So, will this king let this beast go?"

He was still a little unwilling.

"We'll discuss this after we get back." Yin Hongzhi consoled him softly, "Ayou finally got back to Chang'an, why are you in such a hurry to go back? It won't be too late to discuss this after we go to the palace to see Concubine De tomorrow."

It was not until then that Li You remembered his mother.

"Well, that's all that can be done."

He sighed, still feeling unwilling.

But he still had a lot of trust in Yin Hongzhi. After all, his uncle would never harm him.

In the Lizheng Hall, Li Shimin and Li Xiang looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Did you hit him secretly just now?"

How could he admit such a thing? Li Xiang answered very straightforwardly: "No."

"When your grandmother attacked the King of Chaola, I was behind her and attacked her many times." Li Shimin puffed his beard and glared at her, saying, "You are my grandson, how can you not be like me?"

"Uncle, please don't lie to me." Li Xiang crossed his arms and refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Xiang without saying anything.

Okay, this kind of stubbornness is just like me!
"Your uncle, the King of Qi, has committed many illegal acts in his fiefdom. His teacher, Quan Wanji, is really unable to control him, so he reported it to me." Li Shimin sighed and complained tiredly. Li Xiang recalled that according to the course of history, Quan Wanji helped Li You to intercede and was rewarded by Li Shimin. As a result, this beast thought that Quan Wanji had betrayed him, so he sent Yan Hongliang to assassinate Quan Wanji and dismembered him...

I have to say, this behavior is really a bit too much.

But the most important thing is that King Qi Li You immediately rebelled, and after being executed, Hegan Chengji was also implicated, which led to a series of chain reactions, and Li Chengqian also collapsed.

Li Xiang knew that Li You would rebel in the future, but he had no real evidence at the moment, not to mention that it was extremely inappropriate for him to say this.

"It's okay, just wait until Uncle King Qi grows up..." Li Xiang comforted him.

"Fuck him! He's already 20 years old, but he still hasn't grown up!" Li Shimin got angry again after hearing this: "This beast is just as bad as Li Yin! I really want to stuff them back into their mother's womb!"

Li Xiang was secretly happy, but on the surface he was still comforting Old Li.

I was still feeling sad in my heart, if it weren’t for my little elephant, Old Li would have had a serious illness.

Here, Li Xiang and Li Mingda were trying to cheer Li Shimin up. Over in Jiangnan, Hegan Chengji and his men also found the "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases".

"Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, I'll have to drink the wine for you..."

Hegan Chengji kicked the old man who was tied up like a dumpling to the ground and cursed him viciously.

The last time he came to his house, the old man scolded him in a dialect he couldn't understand.

Although I couldn't understand what he meant, I could tell from his distorted face how angry he was.

Hegan Chengji behaved very gracefully and did not get angry because of the insults. Instead, he said goodbye politely.

Of course, saying goodbye is for a better meeting next time.

This money is useless. Since you don't want to accept my toast, I'll give you a penalty drink.

"I'll give you a reason you can't refuse." said Hegan Chengji.

At first, the old man was very stubborn and acted like he would rather die than surrender. But after his grandson was taken out and a steel knife was placed on his neck, the old man knelt on the ground and told everything.

"Brother, are we going a bit too far?" Zhang Sizheng asked hesitantly.

"Passed? Damn it!" Hegan Chengji spat a mouthful of emerald green phlegm on the old man's face and cursed: "How many lives can they save if they take out this book? Why do they have to hide it at home like a treasure... Haha, we are now enforcing justice for the heavens!"

"Besides, we didn't hurt anyone, and we even left them ten gold leaves!" he added.

You know what, what Hegan Chengji said made some sense. At least Zhang Sizheng and the dozen or so death warriors were convinced.

When leaving, Hegan Chengji was somewhat unwilling and took away nine more gold leaves from the ten.

Just consider it as a reward for the grandfathers' hard work! He thought viciously in his heart.

What he didn't know was that this old man also had quite a few connections in the court.

The old man’s surname was Zhou, and he belonged to the Yixing Zhou clan. He married a concubine from the Taiyuan Wang clan.

After Hegan Chengji and others left, the old man surnamed Zhou broke free from the rope, which was not tight to begin with, called someone to grind ink, and began to write furiously in grief and indignation.

When he came to Jiangnan, Hegan Cheng had no intention of hiding his identity. After all, in his opinion, how could the prince be ignorant of buying a medical book?
Well, he will see it today...

The old man surnamed Zhou had never expected that a prince of a country would actually do something as tantamount to robbery. How could this be tolerated? How could this be intolerable?
What's more, the medical book was a dowry from his deceased wife.

He quickly described the incident and then sent someone to deliver it to the capital on horseback.
