Chapter 189 Make a list

After following Cheng Yaojin entered Chang'an City again, he headed towards the area where some of the original princes and nobles lived in Chang'an City.

After arriving at the place, there were several luxurious mansions around. These were the original Duke's Mansions, living with ministers and great figures from the Tang Dynasty.

Even though the Tang Kingdom no longer exists now, the family business of these bigwigs is still there.

However, these door plaques that once hung various dukes have been replaced with surnames and names!

Cheng Yaojin brought Li Ke and the others to a luxurious house, and the words Du Mansion were written outside.

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and knocked on the door. When the door opened, he immediately made a gesture of inviting him when he saw that it was Cheng Yaojin.

After Cheng Yaojin took Cheng Chumo and Li Ke into Du Mansion, he spoke:

"This is Du Ruhui's mansion, and he is also one of them!"

While speaking, he entered the hall of the house and let Li Ke sit in the first place.

Not long after, the servant informed Du Ruhui and his son Du He that he had come out. After Du Ruhui saw Cheng Yaojin, he said:

"Why did you suddenly remember to see me today?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't say anything, and looked serious.

At this time, Du Ruhui discovered the abnormality.

It was discovered that Cheng Yaojin did not sit in the first place today, but the first person was a young man.

This made him a little confused, and he immediately looked at the young man and felt that he looked familiar.

At this moment, his son Du He spoke:

"Li Ke? You are Li Ke..."

He was familiar with Li Ke from this world back then, so he could naturally easily recognize him.

With his reminder, Du Ruhui then took a closer look at Li Ke, and his face changed immediately.

Nowadays, Li Ke is the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom. Who doesn’t know his horror, and who doesn’t know his strength?

Du Ruhui was naturally surprised when he suddenly saw Li Ke coming to his house.

However, he quickly came to his senses, then he quickly bowed and said:

"I don't know that His Majesty the Dragon Kingdom has arrived, and the people of the grass have misunderstood each other. Please forgive me!"

Li Ke's expression did not change, and he sat on the chair and snorted, saying lightly:

"Forgive me? You are guilty!"

When Du Ruhui heard Li Ke's words, his face turned pale.

He has experienced great storms and has made a lot of contributions to conquer the world with Li Er back then.

However, in front of Li Ke, he knew that he was nothing.

If I had the previous understanding of Li Ke, it was that Li Ke was an emperor who was very good at fighting.

So over the past period of time, facing Li Ke's various actions, it is enough to realize that Li Ke is a truly powerful emperor.

In front of Li Ke, even though he had a good past, he was still a little afraid.

At this moment, facing Li Ke's anger, he was afraid but dared not explain.

Because he probably guessed the purpose of Li Ke's trip.

He knew that creating a locust plague must be a death sentence.

So he knelt on the ground very consciously. Behind him, his son Du He probably realized something and knelt down without hesitation.

Li Ke's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Du Ruhui and said:

"The news I received will not be fake, so are you going to admit it honestly or want to justify it?"

When Du Ruhui heard Li Ke say this, he knew that this time was really over, so he closed his eyes in pain and kowtowed on the ground.

Immediately said:

"Caomin deserves to die, Caomin was also confused for a moment. After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, he did such a mess. Please punish His Majesty."

Historically, Du Ruhui is not a good person, so he has this understanding of his mistakes at this moment, probably because he understands that he can't live, so he is like this.

Li Ke glanced at Du Ruhui on the ground, and then spoke lightly:

"Tell me, how did you get these locusts."

Du Ruhui was silent for a while. Faced with Li Ke's pressure, it would be difficult for him not to tell the truth.

So he could only speak with some fear:

"This is Changsun Wuji's idea. The northwest is already dry and the things are easy to appear. It is also a good environment for locusts to lay eggs and erupt.

Our companies have quite a lot of assets, so they secretly searched for many people to specifically cultivate these locusts to allow them to reproduce in large quantities.

This plan has been in place for half a year. I heard that you are not in Long Kingdom some time ago, and there are rumors that you are dead.

So, Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to start and release these locusts, hoping to find opportunities and create unrest through this disaster.

At the same time, he would have done some big things, and even if possible, he would want to compete for the world."

In the last sentence, Du Ruhui's voice was very low. After all, this involved treason, and his honest explanation now also wanted to save some of his crimes.

But it is unknown whether Li Ke will let him go.

After standing up, Li Ke glanced at Du Ruhui and said:

“Make a list.”

Du Ruhui didn't dare to disobey, so he quickly took out paper and pen and wrote down all the people involved this time.

Li Ke looked at the list and found more than a dozen names, among which Changsun Wuji ranked first, followed by Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Li Xiaogong, etc.

After putting away the list, Li Ke got up and walked a few steps outside the door.

Then he spoke:

"This matter is quite a matter. Although your approach is considered a meritorious service, the crime is still quite serious.

If you don’t want to make trouble, wait for my punishment in the house. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, Li Ke left calmly and immediately headed towards the government office of Chang'an County.

There is a county government office in Chang'an County and a government office is also set up.

After Li Ke arrived at the government office, he entered the office directly.

Behind him, Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Chumo were followed.

Although the people in the government office did not know Li Ke, they knew Cheng Yaojin, so they immediately notified the prefect.

Soon, the prefect came out to receive Cheng Yaojin himself.

Although Cheng Yaojin was a minister of the previous dynasty, he was also a person after all. Even if the dynasty changes, many people still respect him very much.

In addition, Cheng Cheng Yaojin is different from other ministers of the previous dynasty and is better at being a human being than those people.

So, there are still some people who are close to Cheng Yaojin.

When the prefect saw Cheng Yaojin, he wanted to bow his hand to greet him.

But Cheng Yaojin said:

"Master, when you see Your Majesty, don't you kneel down?"

The prefect was stunned and a little confused.

Immediately looked at Li Ke.

Then he saw Li Ke and walked to the seat above the lobby and sat down.

Only then did he realize something, and he quickly knelt down and shouted:

"I, the magistrate of Chang'an Prefecture, I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"

Li Ke waved his hand and said:

"Prevently, the prefect of Chang'an Prefecture."

The prefect quickly stood up and bowed:

"I'm here!"

"I have a list here. You can catch all the people. In addition, send people to Du Ruhui's mansion. If Du Ruhui is no longer here, send people to arrest him immediately. If he is there, he will bring him!" Li Ke said.

Although the prefect didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask too much and went there immediately.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Li Ke with admiration and sighed in his heart that Li Ke is really a meticulous person.

Although he said that he gave Du Ruhui a chance, if Du Ruhui ran away at this time, he would undoubtedly die...

If you don’t run, there will be a glimmer of hope!
