I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 48 Not as good as a beast
It's bright.

When Fan Xian left the pleasure boat, he met Li Hongcheng who had been waiting for him. They chatted for a while before leaving.

As soon as Fan Xian left, Li Chengze appeared with his arms folded.

"It seems that he is taking the path of making friends with the third brother."

Li Hongcheng looked at Fan Xian's departing back, nodded and said, "Why are you here so early?"

"Fan Xian beat Guo Baokun last night, and the matter became a big deal."

Li Chengze didn't hear any response, and asked in confusion: "You don't seem surprised?"

"I saw Fan Xian run away last night with my own eyes, and then Third Brother came to tell him about it, but he didn't say why Fan Xian beat Guo Baokun."

"Where's the third brother?"

"He's still on the pleasure boat. He's probably still sleeping."

At this moment, Li Chengzong was looking at the curtain above his head with his eyes open.

Ever since Fan Xian returned to the pleasure boat, he has never fallen asleep again.

As soon as he lay down, Si Lili snuggled into his arms skillfully, like a cat smelling fish.

It would have been fine if she just hugged him tightly while sleeping, but the key was that she would move a few times from time to time. How could a young man full of vigor and vitality bear that?

"Well……"

With a soft hum, Si Lili gradually woke up.

Feeling the familiar breath, she twisted her body a few times without even opening her eyes, changed to a more comfortable position, and prepared to continue sleeping.

She always felt at ease when she was with Li Chengzong. Last night was the most peaceful sleep she had had since her family broke up, and she couldn't help but crave the embrace of this man.

"Get up when you wake up. You're driving me crazy." Li Chengzong said sullenly.

Si Lili opened her eyes, her cheeks flushed like a burning cloud, her heart pounding, she didn't dare to look directly at Li Chengzong, and asked in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "When did you wake up?"

"Mao Shi."

"Then why didn't you leave?"

"I want to wait for you to wake up and tell you a story."

At this time, Si Lili had calmed down a lot. She left Li Chengzong's arms, sat up, smoothed her hair, and said with a smile: "What story made you wait for me to wake up?"

Li Chengzong got up from the bed, sorted out his clothes, and said slowly:
"Once upon a time, there was a scholar and a young lady who fell in love with each other.

One day, they agreed to go out for a trip together. It rained heavily on the way, so they took shelter in an empty house and stayed there until night.

There was only one bed in the room, and although the two were in love with each other, they did not commit adultery.

The young lady felt sorry for the scholar, so she shyly invited him to sleep in the same bed with her, but she put a pillow between them and wrote a note on it, which said: Anyone who crosses the line is a beast.

But the scholar was a gentleman, and he actually endured it all night without causing any chaos.

The next morning, the young lady woke up and left, leaving a note with seven big words written on it: You are worse than beasts.

Do you think I am worse than an animal? "

"Pfft" sound.

Si Lili couldn't help laughing out loud, and got up from the bed. She helped Li Chengzong tidy up his clothes like a loving couple, and smiled softly, "How can you scold yourself like this? You just pity me, I know it, just wait a little longer."

Li Chengzong yawned and chuckled, "It's good that you know. Remember to compensate me later. I'll go back to sleep first."

"You might as well stay here with me instead of going back to the palace."

"I'd better go back to my house and sleep." Li Chengzong thought about it and shook his head. He grabbed Si Lili's hand and said with a smile, "By the way, the Kyoto government office may summon you for questioning later. Remember to follow Fan Xian's words. I'll take care of the rest."

After saying that, Li Chengzong suddenly lowered his head and kissed Si Lili, then ran away like a thief who had stolen someone's love.

Si Lili stared at the fleeing figure in a daze, as if a cloud suddenly flew over and stayed on the pretty face, which was like the morning glow.

Li Chengzong had just left the pleasure boat and walked onto the stone bridge when he ran into Li Chengze and Li Hongcheng who were waiting there.

"Third brother, after a night of passion, do you still have energy to chat?"

"I want to sleep now, ask me if you have anything to say."

"Fan Xian beat Guo Baokun last night. Besides wanting to make things worse so that he could cancel the engagement, why did he beat Guo Baokun?"

"That's it?"

Li Chengzong was speechless. "Guo Baokun is the prince's disciple. The prince will definitely stand up for him. You will find out when you go to the Kyoto government office. It's meaningless to know it earlier."

"That's true."

Li Chengze smiled carefreely and handed over a bag with a few buns in it: "I see you didn't have breakfast, eat something on the way back so you can sleep better."

"Second brother is interested."

Li Chengzong directly took the bun from the paper bag and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Since you are so thoughtful, I will give you a piece of news. The governor of Kyoto will be replaced. If you want to take this position, think carefully about the right candidate."

The Prefect of Kyoto is only an official of the fourth rank, which is not as high as the level of a third rank official. However, to the Second Son and the Crown Prince, the Prefect of Kyoto may be more important than some third rank officials.

After all, which famous family in Kyoto doesn't have a naughty child? As long as the governor of Kyoto treats these unfortunate children with leniency, his connections will come to him.

"What are the conditions, Third Brother?"

Li Chengze was not stupid, he knew that Li Chengzong would not give him this news for nothing.

"It's comfortable to talk to a smart person. My requirements are not high. I want an upright official. I don't ask him to work wholeheartedly for the benefit of the people, but at least he should be more upright than Mei Zhili. He can't be vague, especially when it comes to robbing women, killing people, and arson. Anyone who violates the death penalty of the Qing Kingdom must be killed. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Third brother, there are many wealthy families in Kyoto."

Li Chengzong also understood what the second brother meant, and said with a smile: "If you encounter someone difficult to deal with in the Kyoto government office, just come to me. I will be the bad guy and will not make things difficult for you."

"it is good."

Li Chengze shouted and laughed, "With your words, I feel relieved. I will definitely do as you ask."

"Then think carefully about the candidate. I hope you can give me the name when I arrive at the government office in Kyoto. I'm leaving."

"Take care, Third Brother."

Watching Li Chengzong's departing figure, Li Hongcheng thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you curious about where Third Brother got the news? As far as I know, Mei Zhili is doing a good job as the governor of Kyoto, and there is no news that is unfavorable to him in the court. Your Majesty shouldn't suddenly replace him, right?"

Li Chengze was silent, thought about it carefully, and then said, "It's not news."

"What's not news?"

"It's not that my third brother has received the news, but he is the one who is planning to facilitate the replacement of Mei Zhili." Li Chengze said with certainty.

"How to say?"

"My third brother is not involved in the court. The most he can get from the court is from the Qin family. If he got the news, there is no reason for us not to know. So he can only be preparing to replace Mei Zhili. But I can't think of how he will make it happen."

"If you can't figure it out, forget it. Just think about who you should choose for the name given to the third brother."

Li Chengze smiled in relief: "That's right, anyway, I can see the third brother's methods in the Kyoto government office today."
