In the east wing, Chai Lingwu felt uneasy about his guess. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person he sent had been captured by the Secret Service.
At this time, he was thinking about how to make up for it. Even if the Secret Service asked him who sent the killer, it would not involve him.
The best way is of course to kill the killer. This is a one-and-done solution, but where is the Secret Intelligence Department? That is different from the City Defense Department. The City Defense Department is easy to enter, but the Secret Intelligence Department is difficult to enter. It is impossible to kill the killer.
Then there is only one way, find a scapegoat. Who is the best scapegoat?
Thinking of the scapegoat, the corners of Chai Lingwu's mouth turned up, and he seemed to have a good candidate.
Unlike Chai Lingwu, who was calm and composed, Chai Jingtang became furious after receiving the news that Luo Zhang was not dead. Fortunately, he could not move, otherwise he would probably smash everything in his house to pieces.
The lady kept advising her, while Laifu packed up some teacups and pillows that Chai Jingtang had thrown away. Every time he bowed his head and bent over, his hand would touch the lady's calf intentionally or unintentionally, causing the lady to tremble. .
Chai Jingtang, who was going crazy on the bed, naturally didn't know the secret actions of his wife and servants. If he knew about it, he would probably get angry.
Chai Lingwu's conspiracy and Chai Jingtang's rage have nothing to do with Luo Zhang.
After inspecting the construction of his fiefdom, Luo Zhang had a meal at Magistrate Liu's attentive reception, and then returned home.
There is no need to worry about the fiefdom here now, but the other fiefdom is giving Luo Zhang a headache. That is the real hot potato. Let's build it. If he makes money every day in the future, he will definitely be resented by others, and they will cause trouble for him. If he doesn't build it, Well, Luo Zhang is reluctant to part with the benefits created by this land.
The only way is to find a backer, just like Datang BBQ Shop, and bring King Wei in as a shareholder. In this way, the interests of Datang BBQ Shop will be tied to King Wei.
How about going to find King Wei this time? Luo Zhang's thoughts were spinning.
At this moment, on the streets of Chang'an City, pedestrians retreated to both sides, and a group of soldiers was escorting a carriage slowly forward.
Luo Zhang was riding his horse, looking down and thinking about things, and did not notice the situation on the street.
"He Fangxiao, you dare to block the prince's car. What do you want?" A strong man in bright silver armor glared in front of Luo Zhang, who was thinking with his head lowered, and shouted at him.
This roar almost made Luo Zhang fall off his horse.
"Damn it, grandma, you have a loud voice or something. This road is opened by your family. You go your way and I go mine. What's wrong with such a wide road?" Luo Zhang hadn't come back to his senses yet and didn't know what the strong man said just now. He only heard the other party saying that he was in the way, and he started yelling in anger.
But when he finished cursing, he saw that there was actually a group of soldiers blocking the road in front of him. He couldn't help but be stunned. I choked him. It seemed that he had caused trouble again.
Luo Zhang's words are groundbreaking!
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him who made way suddenly exploded.
"Who is this person? Is he so powerful? He even blocks the way of the prince, and he speaks arrogantly!"
"I don't know. You are so young. Young people are impulsive!"
"I'm afraid this young man is going to be in trouble!"
"It must be unlucky. He is blocking the Prince's frame and is so arrogant. This is the first time I have seen him in these years!"
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Luo Zhang's head was about to explode. Prince? Li Chengqian? The labor and management blocked Li Chengqian's bicycle frame and still yelled at him?
Go ahead, what the hell is this!
=????=????(●???●|||)
"Be brave, get it for me!" The soldier who just spoke was wide-eyed, and he was so angry that someone was actually yelling at him. Wasn't he yelling at the prince? How could he bear this? Must be punished strictly, otherwise where is the majesty of the crown prince!
Seeing a group of soldiers about to rush towards Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang was about to turn his horse and run away. With his riding skills, it shouldn't be a problem to get rid of these soldiers.
At this stall, the curtain in the luxurious carriage opened, and a young man wearing a white python robe and a golden crown walked out of it. Looking at the situation ahead, the young man said to the captain of the guard beside him: " Wait!"
The guard captain was stunned and shouted to his men: "Stop!"
Luo Zhang stopped the urge to escape and looked at the young man on the carriage, blinking involuntarily. Is this Li Chengqian? He does look a bit like Li Shimin, at least much prettier than that pig named Li Tai.
"Hate value from Li Tai +999"
Luo Zhang was observing Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian was also observing Luo Zhang. When he saw Luo Zhang actually wearing the official uniform of the sixth rank, he couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, and there was a smile on his lips. He ordered the captain of the guard: "Please get into the carriage, I have something to say to him!"
The captain of the guard was a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but since the prince had given the order, he didn't have much to say and drove his horse towards Luo Zhang.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you, my lord, come with me!" The captain of the guard's vision is not comparable to that of other soldiers. Naturally, he can see that Luo Zhang is good. He has been an officer from the sixth rank at a young age. Tang Ke is rare.
"The prince called me?" Luo Zhang was confused. He didn't know what Li Chengqian was calling him. But if you don't go when someone invites you, wouldn't you be disrespecting the prince?
Moreover, the prince didn't care about his obstruction, so he couldn't be too arrogant.
Following the captain of the guard, Luo Zhang boarded the luxurious carriage and walked into the carriage. Luo Zhang looked around. It was much more low-key and simple than Li Tai's nouveau riche carriage. There were no beauties and no food in the carriage. There was only one short table, and the prince was kneeling on the short table, making tea for himself.
Seeing Luo Zhang arriving, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Come and sit!"
Luo Zhang didn't know what kind of medicine Li Chengqian was selling in his gourd, but he didn't have anything to worry about. There weren't many people in the Tang Dynasty who could touch him. He was a man with a big killing weapon!
After touching the grace note that had been hidden in his sleeve, Luo Zhang calmly sat opposite Li Chengqian.
But he didn't pour himself tea. In fact, he had already experienced the Tang Dynasty's tea. The last time he drank a cup of Li Tai's tea, he vomited and sprayed it all over Li Tai's face. Li Tai almost lost his temper. Tae flipped out.
After Li Chengqian poured himself a cup of tea, he raised his head and looked at Luo Zhang and said, "I didn't expect to meet Luo Xianzi here. It really surprises me!"
"His Royal Highness, do you know me?" Luo Zhang pointed at himself and asked in surprise.
"Can you not recognize me? How many other people in the Tang Dynasty were named the sons of Lantian County at the age of seventeen, or were they from the sixth rank of Yuanwai Lang? You are probably the only one!" the prince said with a smile.
Luo Zhang thought about it. At the age of seventeen, many people were still taking the imperial examinations and martial arts examinations. Even if they passed the examination, they would be awarded the eighth rank at most. It would take several years for a seventh-rank official to be promoted, but he was directly He jumped over this hurdle and became a sixth-grade official, which probably made many people envious and jealous.
"I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince has asked me to come here for something?" Luo Zhang said carefully. He was not familiar with the Crown Prince, and thinking of what the Crown Prince did a few years later, Luo Zhang felt shuddering, but looking at the current Crown Prince, he is gentle and elegant. , they are not of the same sex. Is the history wrong? Or is there some other reason why the prince likes men?
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Li Tai? You have also started a business partnership with Li Tai?" Li Chengqian said slowly, without any emotion in his words, as if he was telling an interesting story.
"Ah, that's what happened. My Datang Barbeque Shop is a joint venture with the King of Wei!" Luo Zhang answered truthfully, secretly thinking in his heart, could it be that Li Chengqian was jealous of his business with Li Tai?
After thinking about it, it is really possible. Li Tai is Li Chengqian's biggest competitor. Even though Li Chengqian is the prince now, this position is not stable. Li Shimin has always wanted to replace him, and the one with the highest voice is Wei Wang Li Tai, as for Li Zhi, are only a six or seven-year-old child now, and they can't catch Li Shimin's eyes.
Could it be that Li Chengqian wanted to win over him? No, that's not the case. I'm only a sixth-grade official. What's the use of wooing me? The Luo family is not a wealthy family like the Changsun family.
"Well, I've also heard that the barbecue shop's business is pretty good. Do you think it would be okay if I wanted to join in?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.
Li Chengqian's words made Luo Zhang's heart skip a beat. It turned out that just as he had guessed, this guy was jealous of him for cooperating with Li Tai.
Want to get involved? Do you want to join in? Cun Chun just wants to squeeze on Li Tai, this is a fight between gods, but why do you want to sandwich me in the middle when you are beating you? This is so good!
