"Your Highness, what should we do with these people?" someone asked.
Li Ye glanced at the thug lying on the ground, beaten half to death.
"Hand them over to the authorities! Thoroughly investigate any past violations they've committed and punish them severely."
With Li Ye backing them up, everyone now has no worries at all.
There was more than one group of thugs coming to cause trouble.
Then you will be in big trouble.
Anyone who dares to block the road construction will be identified as a local ruffian.
Immediately give him a beating.
He was beaten half to death and then sent to the government for further interrogation.
Even if he was beaten to death, he deserved it.
After all, these people not only oppressed the people, but even took their lives.
When these people died, the local people with the surname Qi would clap and cheer.
After the news spread, no more hooligans came to cause trouble.
Since most of the ruffians were dealt with, the local security improved a lot.
Many people with the surname Zhou are grateful to Li Ye.
Even if he is not sentenced to death after interrogation, he can recover from his injuries.
Putting them in shackles and sending them to the land to continue doing hard labor can also be considered as a waste of money.
It is a pure waste of food to just detain them and feed them.
It would be better to let them do more work.
In addition, Li Ye did not save the money these people earned from their work.
Instead, they distribute the money they earn to the victims who have been bullied by these hooligans.
It can not only punish these hooligans but also compensate the victims, which is a two-pronged approach.
Although he thought all threats had been resolved, Li Ye still did not expect how despicable the enemy was.
While everyone was working, someone quietly entered the cooking area.
Pour the poison into the pot and leave quickly.
These people were all well-trained and the cook didn't notice at all.
These people completed their mission with joy on their faces. As long as they could escape unscathed, they would receive a generous reward.
Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of him, blocking his way and looking at him expressionlessly.
Even after being discovered, the person who poisoned him did not panic at all.
Go around the old man and continue to leave.
But the old man dodged and stood in front of it.
The poisoner was furious and humiliated. He grabbed the dagger in his sleeve and cursed viciously, "Why are you blocking my way, you old bastard?"
"You want to escape after being poisoned? How can that be so easy?" the old man said with a sneer.
The person who poisoned him was shocked, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Since you have discovered it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
He gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed at the old man.
"Humph, you overestimate your own abilities!"
A shadow flashed by, avoiding the dagger attack.
The person who poisoned the animal suddenly felt something was wrong. Before he could react, he felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes went black, and he fainted.
The few people who poisoned and retreated encountered the same situation.
Nowadays, some people were knocked unconscious as soon as they took out the paper bag containing poison.
Li Ye was calculating the progress of the war in his tent.
Princess Ruyue was very talented and quickly learned something.
Help Li Ye deal with things.
Suddenly, several people were thrown in from outside the tent.
They fell to the ground with a crackling sound, forming a pile of small hills.
Lin Yue reacted instantly, drew out his sword and blocked Li Ye, being cautious.
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, staring intently outside.
Lin Yue was very surprised to see the person coming in.
"Mr. Xiao! Who are these people?"
"You are too careless. Do you think that the enemy is just forcibly blocking the road construction?
I just saw these people poisoning the food.
If I hadn't arrived in time, I don't know how many people would have died."
Mr. Xiao said expressionlessly.
"What? Poisoning the food? They are so evil!"
Li Ye became furious upon hearing this.
No matter what means are used against me, I will just deal with them head on.
In order to stop the road construction, they wanted to kill all the innocent people.
Just thinking about it makes me feel scared.
"Someone come here!"
Li Ye shouted outside.
Several guards ran in quickly.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene in the tent.
They have been standing guard outside all the time. When did so many people appear?
"Notify everyone immediately to collect all the food and not allow anyone to eat it.
Be sure to check all foods for signs of poison.
Store all cooked items together and check carefully."
Li Ye gave them orders.
The guard didn't know what was going on. It was the first time he saw Li Ye so anxious.
Not daring to delay any longer, he agreed and ran out quickly.
Princess Ruyue's face was also full of disbelief.
Li Ye’s opponents are nothing more than the third prince and the crown prince.
He actually resorted to such unscrupulous means to defeat his opponent.
If Mr. Xiao had not discovered it in time, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people would have died.
It is really hard to imagine how vicious their minds are that they dare to do such things that are so outrageous to heaven and man.
"How dare they do that? Aren't they afraid of God's retribution?"
Princess Ruyue was extremely heartbroken.
"Call Zhao Wudi and Lei Ying over here, and use all means to make these people reveal the mastermind behind this."
Li Ye was extremely angry.
Mr. Xiao moved aside and sat on a chair, took out the gourd and took a sip of wine.
"It seems that I will have to stay by your side and continue to protect you!
Who knows, the Crown Prince might become desperate and do something dangerous."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiao!" Li Ye tried to calm down and bowed to him solemnly.
Mr. Xiao waved his hand and said lazily, "We won't be polite in our room!
I think you should have understood this clearly.
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are too vicious. If they inherit the throne, it will be a huge disaster for the Zhou family.
As long as you earnestly strive to seize the throne, you will be worthy of this old man."
"Of course the throne cannot fall into the hands of someone with such vicious intentions.
Such a big thing can't be hidden from my father's eyes.
I'm sure my father will also know about this matter." Li Ye said seriously.
"I have another piece of bad news for you! The barbarians have contacted many helpers, and they are eager to invade Dayuan.
Moreover, these countries have the support of Yunlu Pavilion.
The emperor began to distance himself from Yali Yunlu Pavilion, which made them extremely dissatisfied.
They probably intend to use this to force the emperor to continue relying on them.
You must expedite the construction of this road, as the Dayuan Dynasty may face a massive enemy army."
Mr. Xiao revealed another shocking news.
Li Ye's expression did not change.
The Fengxiao League is well-informed, and he has many sources of information.
The trade caravans are spread all over the world, and any enemy movement can be detected immediately.
Moreover, collecting information for business purposes is more discreet.
It is easy to control the enemy's actions by paying more attention to the movements and demands of various bulk goods.
It seems that Li Ye is greedy for money and uses his royal status to do things that are considered lowly by others.
In fact, in addition to making money, the main purpose is to control the huge information network.
