Zhao Yuan was a little panicked when he saw the furious Li Shen, but he was Li Ji's subordinate after all, and he believed that Li Ji would protect him.

Although King Ji was a prince, he had no real power, and Li Ji was Li Shimin's most trusted military commander. Li Shimin also appointed Li Ji as Prince Zhan Shi and Zuowei Led, and he was given the title of Special Advancement and the third rank of Tong Zhongshu.

The prince also valued Li Ji very much, so Zhao Yuan felt that King Ji should give Li Ji some face.

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I will finally admit my crime and promise not to offend again in the future. I hope King Ji will be merciful." You still have to bow your head.

It also gave Li Shen a step down and a reason to spare him.

Li Shen looked at him coldly, and then uttered one word,

"beat."

The guards couldn't help but stepped forward and punched and kicked the dozen or so people kneeling on the ground without any intention of holding back.

The punches hit the flesh, and the old man watching on the side was frightened. In fact, many people in his family knew Tang dialect, but at this time they had to pretend to be stupid.

In Goguryeo, as long as you are a noble, you will basically learn Tang dialect from an early age. In addition to the royal family Gao, Goguryeo also has four major families, surnamed Cui, surnamed Jin, surnamed Pu, and surnamed Li. And his surname is Jin.

He had just heard the conversation between the two people and knew that the young man in front of him was a prince of the Tang Dynasty.

The status of the prince of the Tang Dynasty was on the same level as that of their king. In his impression, the Tang Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, so the prince's power must be great.

So he was thinking of ways to get in touch with Li Shen.

"Stop." Li Shen said another word.

Looking at the beaten people lying on the ground, Li Shen turned around and said to the old man;

"Our Emperor sent us here to save the people of Goguryeo. Although you are a noble, you will be our people in the future.

We soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the people's team with strict discipline. I am really sorry for what happened today and we will compensate you.

I also hope that you will believe that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are just the black sheep among them. This king will take him back and punish him severely. "

The old man waited for the translator to finish speaking and quickly nodded and bowed to Li Shen.

"Your Excellency, the Tang Dynasty is indeed a country of etiquette. I, Mr. Jin, are willing to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shen nodded, and then said to Xue Rengui;

"Take them all back." After saying that, Li Shen took the lead and walked out.

In Li Chengqian's big tent, Li Chengqian, Li Daozong, Li Ji and other generals were discussing the next action.

Xuantu was captured without any effort and more than 2 prisoners were taken in vain. There were only three cities in this place.

Spies from these three cities came to report that they were all occupied by rebels. Two of them were local governors, and one was a people's uprising.

Just when everyone was discussing in full swing, they heard a commotion outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuan and others were pushed in,

"Tenth brother, what's going on? What did they do?" Li Chengqian asked quickly when he saw Li Shen coming in.

"Violation of military discipline, rape and robbery." Li Shen came to Li Chengqian, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

"Rape and robbery?" Li Chengqian was surprised. This crime was a serious one and required beheading.

"Zhao Yuan, what did you do to get caught by His Highness Prince Ji? You really embarrass me." Li Ji scolded.

"Mr. British, what do you mean by this? Why did you let me catch you? It seems that there are many things in your team that I cannot see." He immediately sneered at Li Ji.

"Your Highness King Ji, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask what happened to offend His Highness." Li Ji said to Li Shen.

"Then didn't you just hear me talk about rape and robbery? Are you questioning the prestige of my governor?" Li Shen revealed his position in the army.

Li Shen felt that he should remind everyone that he was the Grand Governor of the Eastern Expedition personally appointed by His Majesty, and he held the position of military governor.

"Your Highness King Ji, I have no doubts, but I don't know where their injuries came from?" Li Ji didn't actually care about Li Shen.

What's there to care about a prince who has no real power? Moreover, he is still relying on the Prince's East Palace, and Li Shimin trusts him very much.

As a military general, neither he nor anyone else would care about a prince without real power.

"I ordered the governor to beat him. Before I punish him, I need to relieve my anger. Do you have anything to say?" Li Shen was not afraid of Li Ji and chose to bear it.

Li Chengqian saw that the atmosphere between the two was not good, so he hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Come on, tenth brother, sit down and talk, don't be angry."

Li Chengqian was not afraid of a fight between the two, he was afraid that his younger brother would get mad and kill Li Ji.

Although Li Ji is a military commander and has good martial arts skills, there are more masters around Li Shen. Xue Rengui has seen them before.

There is also a stupid guard who leads Tieniu. Tieniu is so stupid that he can hit anyone Li Shen asks him to. He is born with supernatural powers and has a broadsword like a door panel.

If Li Shen gets hot-headed, Li Jizai will not be a match for the two of them no matter how powerful he is. Even if you don't kill him, you will still suffer a loss if you beat him up.

Li Shen sat down after listening to Li Chengqian's words. Li Chengqian still had to give him face.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, since it is said to be rape and robbery, I wonder if you can tell me the specific things so that His Highness the Crown Prince can punish you." Li Ji continued.

Li Shen licked his lips at Shitou behind him, and Shitou stepped forward and told him what had just happened in the city.

Li Ji was the only one in the audience who looked bad, not because of Zhao Yuan's matter, but because Li Shen actually sent a eunuch to respond to his words.

What a look down on him.

"British sir, what's the law for their evil deeds?" Li Shen smiled playfully.

"His Royal Highness, Zhao Yuan has been with me for many years and participated in many battles with East Turks, Xue Yantuo, etc., both with merit and hard work,

Zhao Yuan never flinched when he went into battle. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can forgive him once and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes for the sake of Zhao Yuannai being the hero. "Li Ji did not answer Li Shen, but instead pleaded with Li Chengqian.

Li Shen looked at Li Ji without saying anything, but turned to look at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was also in a dilemma. Military orders were like mountains, and violating military regulations was a matter of military law during wartime.

Zhao Yuan also allowed his men to commit crimes, not only plundering property, but also raping women. Raping a woman is a serious crime.

"Your Highness, it is indeed wrong for Zhao Yuan and others to violate military regulations, but now is the time to employ people. In my opinion, it is better to let them serve their crimes and serve."

Seeing Li Chengqian's embarrassment, Li Daozong, as the deputy commander, stood up and said, which could be regarded as giving Li Chengqian an idea.

But Li Chengqian knew in his heart that since his tenth brother had brought everyone here, he would definitely not be able to let this matter go, otherwise he would not be worthy of his reputation as a troublemaker.
