Qinglongfang.
Li Jue and Pan Hu were packing their things. Actually, there wasn't much to pack; it was just the copper coins they had earned over the past few days and some changes of clothes.
Both Li Jue and Pan Hu looked troubled when they saw several hundred pounds of copper coins.
"Young Master, I'm afraid we can't take this money with us, can we?"
"I never imagined in my entire life that I would one day have to worry about having too much money..."
Li Jue listened to Pan Hu's words and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"Copper coins are really inconvenient to carry around. It would be great if we could find a place to exchange them for gold and silver."
"But in such a vast city as Chang'an, where is there a place to exchange copper coins?"
As the two were talking to themselves, the door was gently pushed open.
"Little Stone, are you trying to run away?"
Upon seeing that the person was Old Li, Li Jueyi immediately smiled at him.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Li. I really can't make a living anymore, so I'm planning to go to the south to find a place to retire."
"Retirement?"
Li Shimin was about to collapse when he heard these two words. How old is this child? He's already thinking about retirement.
He's almost fifty years old, and he's still thinking about messing with Goguryeo and Xueyantuo all day long!
"Little Stone, I've already taken care of Sun Hucao's matter for you, so you don't need to rush off."
"ah?"
Li Jue was stunned when he heard this. Wasn't this guy "unrefined"? How could he possibly defeat Sun Hucao?
Although Sun Hucao's rank is not high, he is still an official of Wannian County Government. He can't be defeated so easily, can he?
"Old Li, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"How could that be? Go out and ask around if you don't believe me!"
"inquire about?"
Just as Li Jue was about to send someone out to inquire, he saw Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu running in excitedly.
"Young master, great news! Sun, the clerk of Wannian County Government, has hanged himself!"
"ah?"
Li Jue was shocked to hear this. He had just clashed with Sun Hucao, and the old man didn't seem like the type to commit suicide.
"Old Li, is this related to you?"
"Can you force Sun Hucao to commit suicide?"
What do you think?
"I guess?"
Li Jue rolled his eyes dramatically upon hearing this.
"I bet this has nothing to do with you!"
"You guessed right, hahaha!"
Li Shimin did not want to reveal his identity too early. He suddenly found it interesting to chat with this little boy as an ordinary person.
"You don't need to worry about how Sun Hucao died. All you need to know is that your troubles are over, and you don't need to rush to leave Chang'an now!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue still firmly shook his head.
"Old Li, to be honest, my identity is fake."
"We got away with it this time, but it's hard to say what will happen next time."
"I don't want to be constantly blackmailed with my identity!"
"identity……"
In fact, Li Shimin had long known that the little boy in front of him had a problem with his identity, and that the so-called "Shi Dakai" was just a name he made up on the spot.
His real name should be Li Jue, and he was his eldest grandson!
I just don't know why he's hiding his identity, or why he doesn't even recognize me, his grandfather.
"Little one, could you tell me your real name?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue shook his head again.
“Old Li, it’s not that I intentionally deceived you, it’s just that I didn’t want to implicate you.”
"I'm giving you the recipe for icing. From now on, we'll never meet again!"
As Li Jue spoke, he pointed to the box placed at the door.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wu, it's fate that we met. Although we haven't worked together for long, you two have been very good to me."
"I'm leaving Chang'an now, and I don't have anything to repay you with. Here's some money; take ten strings of cash each!"
"this……"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and they soon began to sob quietly.
"Young master, do you really have to leave?"
"Auntie can't bear to part with you, sob sob sob..."
Although Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu hadn't worked for Li Jue for long, they had already grown fond of this kind and righteous boy.
Because Li Jue not only paid high wages, but also picked out some damaged or poorly presented fried dough sticks before finishing work each day and gave them to the two men to take home for their husbands and children.
The two of them worked for Li Jue, receiving both money and food, which made many neighbors envious.
If Li Jue leaves, they will never find such a good master in their lives.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wu, I'll miss you too, but I..."
"well!"
Just as Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu were embracing Li Jue and weeping, Li Shimin, who was standing to the side, spoke up.
"If I can resolve your household registration issue, will you stay in Chang'an?"
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wu had long since realized that Li Shimin was of noble birth, not just because of the clothes he wore, but because of his air of authority; he was clearly not an ordinary nobleman.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shimin repeatedly.
"If this benefactor is willing to help my young master, I am willing to serve him like a slave!"
Li Shimin would never care about the repayment from two ordinary women; he simply couldn't bear to see his eldest grandson suffer.
"As long as you call me Grandpa, I'll make your household registration flawless, and no one will be able to find any problems!"
"Can you really do it?"
Li Jue looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with suspicion, his eyes full of doubt.
Seeing this, Zhang Anan quickly stood up and spoke up for Li Shimin.
"Young master, don't underestimate my master. Although my master is taciturn, he is more powerful than many officials with ranks!"
