The turmoil in Chang'an City was far more than that. People from the big families naturally took action after learning that Luo Zhang had been arrested.
After all, many of Luo Zhang's businesses are coveted.
Yanlai Tower, Datang Barbeque Shop, Huaqing Pool, and Highland Barley Wine are all profitable businesses. Not to mention all of them, as long as you get one of them, you can become the backbone of a family!
Everyone can see that the Wei family has plotted against Luo Zhang's Yanlai Tower.
But what people didn't expect was that the Dugu family, a top family that had always had a good relationship with Luo Zhang, approached Du Jin as soon as Luo Zhang's accident happened and wanted to discuss the sale of Huaqing Pool with him.
As for the fact that so many high-ranking officials in the DPRK checked out of their hotel rooms, no one behind them was pushing it, and no one would believe it!
And to be able to convince so many people, his background must not be weak.
It wasn't until the Dugu family found Du Jin that everything became clear. The people behind it were the Dugu family.
As the saying goes, everything in the world is for profit. Although the Dugu family has good relations with Luo Zhang, they are nothing in the face of profit!
The Dugu family naturally wanted to occupy such a unique place as Huaqing Pool, and even offered Du Jin a sky-high price.
It would be a lie to say that Du Jin is not moved. Who doesn't think about himself these days? Throwing your head and spilling your blood is what a reckless man does.
Unfortunately, he only has half of the Huaqing Pool, so it won't be of any use at all. He can't sell it even if he wants to. Besides, this land is Luo Zhang's fiefdom, and ordinary people can't take it.
However, these are nothing to the Dugu family. What they want is a word from Du Jin. As long as Du Jin agrees, the Dugu family will go to His Majesty to discuss replacing Luo Zhang's fiefdom. I think His Majesty will give the Dugu family this face. Du Jin will still be the manager here, and of course the half-comers will have to be handed over!
The same is true for Yanlailou, Huaqing Pool, and the Datang Barbeque Shop. When Luo Zhang was arrested, nothing happened at first. Zhao Tianhu breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had a living and his financial resources were not cut off. But who knew that there would be many city defenses the next day? The people of Si came to the barbecue shops one after another and demanded that the Datang BBQ shops be closed down. The reasons were that the Datang BBQ shops were eating people up, and they were spies of Fanbang, etc.
In short, they just listed some baseless things to make Datang Barbeque Shop close down.
The people did not fight against the officials. If Luo Zhang dared to do this, but Luo Zhang was caught, the situation would be different. Zhao Tianhu was unable to stop him and ran to find King Wei, but he was bombarded before he could even enter the capital gate of the palace. come out!
All he had to say was to get out of Datang Barbecue Shop. The King of Wei will send someone to take over tomorrow!
These words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhao Tianhu. King Wei sent someone to take over? What does it mean?
Zhao Tianhu was not a fool, and he quickly figured out that the reason why the City Defense Department dared to blatantly block the Datang Barbecue Shop was probably under the instructions of King Wei. Without the support of King Wei, Yu Wenxin would not have had the guts to do so. To do this kind of thing, after all, Datang Barbecue Shop has 30% of the shares of King Wei!
But now, King Wei not only wants 30%, he wants everything!
This Datang BBQ restaurant is like a golden rooster that lays eggs. Who wouldn’t be jealous of it? So what if the relationship with the King of Wei is strong? In the face of interests, affection is just empty talk!
These are enough to make people jealous, not to mention the highland barley wine, which is watched by many people, all wanting a piece of the pie.
Everyone knows how popular the sales of highland barley wine are. Not to mention the wine, the Jiulong ice jade glass bottle alone is very coveted. Although the value of this thing is greatly reduced now, it cannot stand up to its beauty. Not only people in the Tang Dynasty like it, but also people from other countries. I like it. Not to mention anything else, you can make a lot of money by transporting this thing to other places in the Tang Dynasty. If you transport it to the Western Regions and other places, you will get even more, so on the first day when Luo Zhang left Luo Mansion, The next day, many members of the big family came to the door of Luo Mansion, wanting to ask for the Jiulong Ice Jade Glass Vase.
Of course, there are also wine lovers who want to ask for the recipe of highland barley wine.
In this regard, grandma kicked them all away. Before the Luo family fell, they wanted to covet the Luo family's property. These people's conscience is really bad.
Even though grandma is old, she is a first-grade imperial concubine. When she gets angry, no one who comes to the door would dare to complain. If grandma wears the clothes of a first-grade imperial concubine and goes to complain, no one will be able to bear it.
Grandma couldn't get through this. People from these big families did not give up and went to find people related to Luo Zhang. Zhao Tianhu, Du Jin, and even Wu Shaobin were all harassed for highland barley wine.
In the palace, outside the royal study, a group of veteran generals stood outside the door, requesting His Majesty to receive him. The purpose of their coming here was naturally for Luo Zhang.
The crime of Luo Zhang's imprisonment has been determined, intercepting and killing the envoys of Fan states and destroying the relationship between Tang Dynasty and Fan states.
All the veteran generals sneered at this, saying that they were willing to send troops to attack these foreign people who acted one way before and behind the other as long as His Majesty agreed.
In the eyes of a group of veteran generals, Luo Zhang not only did not do anything wrong by intercepting and killing these foreign envoys, but he did the right thing. They all knew that these people sent people to assassinate Luo Zhang. It was natural for Luo Zhang to take revenge. Why? They can assassinate themselves, but can't they kill them themselves?
You know, this is the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty do not favor their own people, but turn their elbows outward. Your Majesty did something wrong this time.
While the outside world is turbulent and all parties are running around, Luo Zhang, who is involved in the case, is sitting in the jail playing chess with others as if nothing has happened.
"Take the lead!"
"The horse comes and jumps!"
"Jiang Jun!"
"Hey, Old Man Li, if I didn't lead you to cheat like this, you've regretted it three times, how can you still play?"
Luo Zhang's voice echoed in the prison, making other prisoners envious.
They all looked sideways at Luo Zhang. Where is Luo Zhang's prison? It has a comfortable soft bed, a desk, a coffee table, tables and chairs, and there is no shortage of snacks and tea on the table. There is only a few maids waiting on the side. On fire.
I am not here to go to prison. I am here to vacation in prison and experience life.
The person sitting opposite Luo Zhang is not an outsider, but a regular visitor to the prison. Li Xiaogong, I don’t know what happened to this old guy, but he actually went to live in the cell of the Secret Service again, euphemistically saying that he has not lived there yet Come and experience the secret agent's prison.
Luo Zhang naturally agreed with this. He was so bored in this prison without anyone to accompany him. With Li Xiaogong as a living treasure, his prison life would naturally be much richer.
It only lasted two days. He basically slept during the day, got up for a delicious barbecue at noon, and played games and drank wine with Li Xiaogong at night. His life was as happy as a god.
Li Xiaogong originally came here just to comfort Luo Zhang, but when he came here he found that Luo Zhang was more comfortable in prison than outside, so he simply refused to leave. Any experience of life was just an excuse and was deceptive. The purpose is Luo Zhang's wine and barbecue.
This is something that you can't even drink outside, but it's enough to take care of it here. If he doesn't stay and drink more, it won't be Li Xiaogong.
Besides, it's not like I've never lived in a prison. The prison in the City Defense Department is much worse than here.
At the end of the chess game, Li Xiaogong picked up the jade cup on the side, took a sip of the 1982 Lafite, smacked his lips and praised: "After drinking your wine, I know what real wine is. People in the Western Regions live like dogs." What the hell is that brewed stuff called? It's so turbid and so unpalatable to drink. How can it be like this, as pure as water, with a sweet aftertaste and a sip that leaves you with a long aftertaste? Good wine, good wine!"
Luo Zhang just smiled at this and didn't explain much. It's a joke. The Lafite from 1982 was haunted if it didn't taste good. This is a good thing that costs 30,000 points a bottle. It is the most expensive item among all his redemption items. He was reluctant to drink it on weekdays, and it would take him a long time to drink one bottle. This was not because Li Xiaogong was accompanying him, and Luo Zhang was not stingy, so he naturally wanted to treat Li Xiaogong with some good things.
"By the way, are you really going to stay here and not go out? Didn't His Majesty say that you can go out after letting you stay here for one day, why are you still hanging on?" Li Xiaogong put down his wine glass and asked in confusion.
"Old man Li, what do you think is the easiest thing to change in this world?" Luo Zhang picked up the jade cup and took a sip of wine.
"What is the easiest thing to change? You mean..." Li Xiaogong raised his eyebrows. He was an old fox who had lived for so many years, so he was very natural.
"That's right, I don't go out here just to see what interesting things will happen after I leave. Sometimes, you can't see something clearly when you are there. You can only see it after you jump out of that circle. It will be clear to you, don't be in a hurry, I will go out in a few days, and besides, wouldn't it be nice for me to drink, chat and play chess with you here!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
