Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"His Royal Highness, you cannot convict me based on just a few words from a cunning citizen. After all, I am a prince, so you cannot..."

Before he finished speaking, a group of guards came forward, roughly held Cheng Yaojin down, and tied him up with chains.

Looking at the iron chain as thick as a baby's arm, Cheng Yaojin's entire expression changed.

Just as he was about to continue questioning Li Chengqian, he saw two more guards coming forward. One of them pinched Cheng Yaojin's mouth, and the other took off the Qianzhong socks from his feet and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

Instantly, a rancid smell filled the air.

When the people around me smelled this smell, they all took two steps back in fear.

Even Li Chengqian, who was a few meters away, couldn't help but frown and quickly pushed away.

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes at the sour smell and had no strength to struggle anymore.

After looking at Cheng Yaojin who had calmed down, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned to Hou Junji and said:

"You lead people to capture Zhao Zhi, then let people take control of the Governor's Mansion, and take over Zhengzhou City as soon as possible."

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Cheng Yaojin, please arrange for someone to send him back to Chang'an as soon as possible for my father to deal with. Remember, you need to bring a lot of those "evidences" to Chang'an."

When talking about the evidence of guilt, Li Chengqian deliberately emphasized his tone.

Hou Junji is also a good person. How could he not understand what Li Chengqian meant? He nodded immediately and said:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the evidence for this matter is solid. Cheng Yaojin will plead guilty and be punished no matter what."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Chengqian doubtfully and said:

"Your Highness, if you leave everything here to the general, then you..."

Li Chengqian glanced at Hou Junji dissatisfied, snorted coldly:

"You have your own things to do, General Hou, don't worry."

Then he thought about whether what he said would make Hou Junji feel ignored, so he coughed again and explained:

"When I came, I took on two tasks. Now that Chu Mo is no longer here, it would be a waste of time for me to stay here, so now I have to deal with another thing."

After hearing Li Chengqian's explanation, Hou Junji immediately pretended to be enlightened and said:

"That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince still has important matters to attend to, so he is finally stupid."

Li Chengqian glanced at Hou Junji meaningfully:

"It's all over here. I'll leave now. Take control of Zhengzhou City as soon as possible. Someone will come to take over soon."

With that said, without waiting for Hou Junji to speak, he jumped onto the horse that a guard had just brought and headed out of the city.

Watching Li Chengqian leave, Hou Junji sighed softly. It seemed that the other party still didn't trust him enough.

Glancing at Shopkeeper Yang who was still waiting aside, Hou Junji said coldly:

"Old man, we have taken care of your matter for you. Are you still satisfied?"

Shopkeeper Yang immediately stepped forward to thank him and said:

"Thank you for making the decision for Cao Min. Cao Min thanks you for being our ancestors for eight generations."

Hou Junji nodded with satisfaction and asked again:

"I don't know what's going on here. Does the old man plan to continue living in Zhengzhou City, or does he plan to continue migrating?"

Shopkeeper Yang sighed and said:

"Replying to your lord, to be honest, this is a sad place for the little old man's family. The little old man doesn't plan to stay here anymore. After I find my little daughter, I plan to leave here and move south."

"Oh, let's go south. I wonder where the old man wants to go?"

After hearing what Shopkeeper Yang said, Hou Junji suddenly felt blessed and asked.

"I heard some time ago that many people are moving south, so I also want to go south to see if I can find a safe place to live."

"The south is indeed a good place."

Hou Junji rolled his eyes, and then took shopkeeper Yang's hand and walked to a corner.

Looking at the obedient little old man in front of him, Hou Junji knew that this guy was not simple. Otherwise, even ordinary people would not dare to sue a prince in front of the prince.

After thinking about it, Hou Junji looked at Shopkeeper Yang and said:

"Since you are planning to move your family, I have something I want to trouble you with. I wonder if you are willing to do so."

After hearing Hou Junji's words, shopkeeper Yang cupped his fists and said without thinking:

"Your Excellency is the benefactor of my family. Let alone one thing, I just work as a cow and horse for you, so what?"

Seeing Shopkeeper Yang being so polite, Hou Junji nodded with satisfaction, and then said softly:

"Since you are ready to migrate, then go directly to Lingnan. There is a place called Leizhou City. You can find a way to settle there and help me collect some information."

Shopkeeper Yang looked at Hou Junji with complicated eyes, and then pretended to be heroic and said:

"The general sent me, and I have to complete the general's mission even if my body is broken into pieces."

Hou Junji laughed, patted Shopkeeper Yang on the shoulder and said:

"You don't have to worry too much. This mission is not dangerous. Besides, I won't let you, a person who knows nothing, complete it alone. Don't worry, I will send a few capable men to sneak into your team later and let them help. You execute it together.”

After hearing Hou Junji's words, Shopkeeper Yang said with a troubled expression:

"General, you also know my situation, but now that my little girl has not been found, I definitely can't go on the road like this. I ask the general for some grace."

After hearing Shopkeeper Yang's request, Hou Junji nodded without any concern and said:

"Even if you don't tell me, I will order someone to help you find it together. You must know that only with the protection of your daughter, I will give you this important task. Without your daughter, I would not I like you."

"General, are you saying that my daughter can be a cover for my identity?"

Shopkeeper Yang asked pretending to be happy.

Hou Junji nodded:

"Your identity and past are traceable. After you arrive in Lingnan and have your status, even if someone is suspicious of your identity and wants to find it, they will definitely trace it based on the information you provided. When the time comes, , your daughter is the most favorable proof of your identity."

After hearing what Hou Junji said, shopkeeper Yang not only was not happy, but looked at the other party with a sad face and said:

"Sir, according to your opinion, could it be that I went to Lingnan and need to do something else besides collecting intelligence?"

Hou Junji laughed:

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Yes, when you arrive in Lingnan, it's not just as simple as collecting intelligence. I also want you to develop and grow as soon as possible. It's best to break into the other party's management and have a certain status. In this way, in the future When we take action against Lingnan, you can play an important role."

Seeing shopkeeper Yang's unwilling look, Hou Junji narrowed his eyes slightly, then threw out a sweet date and said:

"This matter is not my business alone. This is the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the imperial court. If you handle it well, you will be rewarded with official titles, honors, and wealth at your fingertips."
