He had to go and see who was responsible for patrolling this place today!
If there was a problem elsewhere, he might be able to tolerate it a little bit, but this was right under his nose, the heel of the imperial city. If you continue to tolerate it, will you find yourself unable to find your head when you wake up tomorrow?
Changsun Wuji has a big head.
Because now he has the title of General Zuo Wuhou on his head, so, nominally speaking, all the Wuhou patrolling the streets in Dongcheng are under his unified command.
Of course, only in name.
Now, as the Duke of Qi, he was the official in charge of the three divisions. He was a serious prime minister and assistant, but he didn't have the time to lead the troops in person.
But the problem is, if we really want to be more serious, it really has to do with ourselves.
This is very head-scratching.
…
The fact that no one was patrolling did not mean that there were no people from Marquis Wu patrolling the streets. Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were not noticed by anyone, but Li Yuan, Li Chengqian and others actually caused quite a stir.
After all, when you are strolling down the street, dozens of sturdy men pop out, it would be strange not to attract anyone's attention.
Nanya, Zuowu Houwei camp.
Deputy General Song Qiuping and several of his subordinates were a little restless.
Today, he received a signal from the Wang family, asking him to arrange a short gap period in Dongcheng. The Wang family wanted to take action on their own to capture the robbers who had looted their warehouse.
Fortunately, the other party repeatedly promised that he would not make any big noise or cause any other trouble, but he still felt a little guilty for no reason.
But after much deliberation, I bit the bullet and agreed.
He and several subordinates around him were able to reach their current position because of the Wang family's efforts.
Therefore, he used his authority to slightly adjust the patrol area.
It wasn't a big move, and he was even mentally prepared to be held accountable by his superiors if something went wrong.
But with the Wang family behind them, what other big problems could go wrong?
The worst that can happen is a reprimand and a pay penalty, but the worst possible punishment is demotion.
With the Wang family here, what are you afraid of?
I thought so, but I still felt a little uneasy.
Just when he was about to ask someone to inquire about the situation there, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji had already barged in directly.
"Ah, Your Majesty——"
…
A moment later, more than a dozen bloody heads were hung outside the Nanya camp.
From the lieutenant general down, all generals in the army who were involved with the Wang family were captured and beheaded directly.
The crime is dereliction of duty!
The news spread out like a tornado in an instant. The three armies were shocked, the people were stunned, and the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
How long has it been since the founding of the Tang Dynasty without such a major case?
Especially since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has been very careful about the death penalty for ordinary people. He only sentenced a few people a year. At this time, he directly killed more than a dozen key members of the army.
Moreover, His Majesty took action this time without any warning.
It is said that he broke into Nanya directly, and after being captured, he directly ordered his execution.
This move made many people feel awe-inspiring, and then they remembered that His Majesty, who was usually tolerant of courtiers, courteous to aristocratic families, and even swallowed his anger, was once a man on the battlefield. The commander-in-chief, who had been through life and death, finally remembered that his Majesty, who had repeatedly given in at court, was also a ruthless man who stepped on the corpses of his brothers and the shoulders of his father to ascend to the throne.
Facts have proved that a dozen heads are more effective than a truth told a thousand times.
As soon as the head was hung out, Marquis Wu of Nanya rushed out.
In fact, there were not many stalls selling colored glaze this time, and the Wang family did not encounter any fierce and powerful resistance. Whether they were peddling in Liuli Trading Company or setting up stalls along the street, they were captured on the spot by the Wang family's guards without a few struggles.
These guards of the Wang family are actually the elites of the private army in the early years.
They cooperate well with each other and have strong fighting power. A few ordinary strong men, even with weapons, can't make any splash.
Fortunately, the Wang family members were relatively restrained. They only took people and did not kill them. As long as the resistance was not too fierce, they did not hurt people very much.
Therefore, they acted very efficiently. In less than a quarter of an hour, they captured all the people selling colored glaze.
However, Liuli is valuable after all. Even if these guys suddenly appear and only sell one or two hundred guan or even dozens of guan each, it is still a sky-high price for ordinary people.
These must be put away carefully.
This delayed a little time.
Sometimes, a lot of things go wrong in just a little bit of time.
They had just packed up Liuli and were about to leave in their car when a large number of Wuhou suddenly appeared.
Swords and guns are unsheathed, bows and arrows are cocked.
The guards of the Wang family were immediately stunned.
Many people subconsciously wanted to resist, but were quickly stopped by the leading guard.
Just kidding.
At the root of the imperial city, under the emperor's nose, fighting against the officers and soldiers?
Even if you want to die, this is not the way to die——
Throw down the weapon and be captured obediently.
…
When Wang Yan got the news, he couldn't help but spurt out blood.
Wang Gui couldn't help but look gloomy.
Things seem to be more serious than I thought!
Although he expected that this action of the Wang family might cause some backlash, he did not expect that Li Shimin's reaction would be so violent. Without saying a word, he broke into Nanya in person and killed more than ten military generals on the spot. With these visits from the Wang family, all the connections he had managed in Zuowuwei were finally wiped out.
Moreover, the manpower sent out was also captured by Wu Hou on the spot.
Wang Gui couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"It is reasonable and reasonable for our Wang family to capture the robbers and recover the stolen goods. Even if it is some transgression, it is not a serious crime. Is it possible that the imperial court will still want us, the Wang family, to watch the thieves steal our Wang family's property and still show off outside? "
Having said this, Wang Gui stared at Wang Yan who looked depressed.
"But this matter is by no means unusual - I'm afraid it will be difficult for our Wang family to escape unscathed. I will go find someone to ask about the situation first, and you will inform the other families immediately - this matter, now, has been It’s not our Wang family’s business. Tell them, it’s hard to tell them. If our Wang family falls, they will not be far behind..."
At this time, it is no longer important to argue about right and wrong and to pursue responsibility.
The important thing is that the Wang family must not fall!
…
Li Yuan was quite annoyed at first.
As a result, it was only a short while ago.
The news that there were more than a dozen heads hanging in Nan Ya came over, and then they saw that the officers and soldiers of Nan Ya Zuo Wuhou rushed over with murderous intent, and without saying a word, they captured the Wang family's guards. Clean.
A complicated look flashed across the old eyes.
I thought to myself, although I didn't want to, I had to admit that if this matter happened to me today, I might not dare to be so decisive.
What a great courage!
He glanced at the guards still surrounding him, frowned, and waved his hand in annoyance.
The leading guard bowed to him awkwardly, and then, with a wave of his hand, he and his brothers disappeared into the crowd again.
These people were originally ordered to secretly protect them, and they had been hiding them well. But today, in a desperate situation, they were suddenly exposed.
This is a bit embarrassing.
Because people like myself pretend to be ordinary people and have been hanging around in front of the Supreme Emperor for a long time.
Ah, this——
Some of them have almost become old acquaintances with the Supreme Emperor.
Now it's over.
It’s all the damn Wang family’s fault!
Everyone here has left——
At least Li Yuan's face looked better now that he was no longer an eyesore.
Looking at Li Zhiruo who was still holding the scroll tightly in his hand, he smiled and said.
"Could it be that what you are holding in your hand is the story written by Prince An Xin about Ai Lian?"
Li Zhiruo nodded repeatedly, puffed out his cheeks, and said angrily.
"That little thief, at first glance, is not a good thing. He must have prepared this article a long time ago and deliberately deceived us..."
Li Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"Daughter, bring it here and let grandpa have a look--"
Although Li Zhiruo was anxious and wanted to go home and complain to her parents, she also knew that the person in front of her was the current Supreme Emperor.
If he was willing to come forward and rescue his sister, wouldn't everything be fine?
Otherwise, even if you sue your parents, depending on your mother's temperament, you will definitely be punished in the end.
He handed the scroll in his hand to Li Yuan very obediently.
Li Yuan opened it and took a look, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Good words!"
Seeing that Li Yuan hadn't read the article yet, he praised Wang Zi'an for that little thief with a look of admiration. Li Zhiruo immediately pouted. But at this time, Li Yuan was already attracted by the work in front of him.
"I only love the lotus that comes out of the mud but is not stained, touches the clear ripples without being evil, is straight in the middle and has no vines or branches. The fragrance is clear from a distance, and the pavilion is clean and planted. It can be viewed from a distance but not played with."
After reading this, Li Yuan couldn't help but admired again.
"It's true that every word is precious, and every word is worth a thousand gold——"
Li Zhiruo:......
Where are you from, old man?
Seeing that the little girl's face was wrinkled, Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Quiet and elegant, a gentleman among flowers - yes, this really seems to be Zian's handiwork. Zian's character is rare in this world -"
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was about to go completely to Wang Zi'an, Li Zhiruo couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
"Grandpa, my sister is still in the hands of that evil man Wang Zi'an..."
Li Yuan was delighted when he heard this.
"What's the hurry? This is a good thing——"
Having said this, Li Yuan stroked his beard happily.
"Don't worry, that girl Zhishan won't suffer a loss there. I understand that child Zian is a Shiqi man. I guess he is just joking with you and won't embarrass her..."
"Can……"
Li Zhiruo was still waiting to say anything more, but was interrupted by Li Yuan with a cheerful expression.
"It's nothing to do. If you're worried, I'll take you over to have a look. It just so happens that I haven't tasted his craftsmanship for a long time..."
Ah, this——
Li Zhiruo was pulled away by Li Chengqian and Li Yuan in a daze.
With the Supreme Emperor and the Crown Prince here, we should be able to rescue my sister, right?
Maybe?
…
Ouyang Xun also didn't expect that Li Zhiruo would be intercepted by Li Yuan on the way.
Therefore, when he hurried to Li Jing's house, when he saw Li Jing and his wife, they discovered that Li Zhiruo hadn't come back yet.
I was immediately fascinated.
I thought to myself, that silly girl, couldn't have been kidnapped on the way!
Li Zhiruo didn't come back, so Ouyang Xun had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell what happened.
Li Jing:......
Hong Fu Nu:......
The couple looked at each other subconsciously, not knowing what to say.
When you go shopping, you can still lose yourself in shopping.
"One hundred and ten thousand yuan - that Wang Zi'an has a huge appetite and courage. He even blackmailed our Li family..."
Hongfu Nu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and snorted angrily.
Although it was my daughter who initiated this matter, that brat really dared to take his precious daughter back, so that was wrong!
Is it fair for a dignified daughter of the Li family to work as a servant for his prince?
If this spreads out, will it be easy to say or not? Will the old Li family still want their face?
Will you be able to find an in-law in the future?
See Hong Fu Nu say this.
Ouyang Xun couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't help it.
I am also embarrassed by what happened today. No matter what you say, as an elder, I didn't stop the two children from messing around. They just joined in the fun and acted as a referee for others. It was just a matter of being a referee, and they even got their daughter into the trap.
Li Jing, on the other hand, shook his head at his wife helplessly after hearing what happened.
"Madam, please be patient."
Then, he turned around and saluted Ouyang Xun with his fists raised.
"Thank you, Mr. Ouyang, for informing me of this matter. The two children are ignorant and have caused trouble to you..."
He thought for a moment, then turned to face the red cat girl.
"After all, it was the two girls Zhishan and Zhiruo who started this matter. Logically speaking, since we lost, we should admit defeat, but it is really not appropriate for Zhishan to stay with him as a servant - "
Having said this, Li Jing couldn't help but frown and sighed.
"Forget it, I'll go over and check the situation first -"
What else can be done?
He wanted to say a very strong word, but his wealth did not allow it.
That's 110,000 yuan, not 3,200 yuan!
Although I have received many rewards over the years, most of them have been distributed to my brothers in the army, and I really don't have much money left.
Even if you have everything right inside and outside your home, you may not even be able to collect 10,000 yuan.
"I'll go with you. I want to see what kind of person that Wang Zi'an is. He actually bullied our daughter..."
Looking at his wife, Li Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly.
So many years have passed and the child has grown up, but he still hasn't gotten rid of his fiery temper.
Moreover, he has one more bad habit than before, protecting the calf.
"Okay - but don't be impulsive..."
Seeing that her husband was not at ease with her, Hongfu Nu could not help but roll her eyes playfully.
"Don't worry. We, the three Fengchen heroes, haven't lost our status to the point where we can't afford to lose. We only need 110,000 yuan. The worst we can do is sell this mansion and our family property..."
Ouyang Xun couldn't help but look even more embarrassed when he heard this.
This matter has caused so much trouble that people are about to sell their houses and land——
Standing up a little embarrassed.
"No, no, I am also responsible for this matter. In this way - I will also go over and have a look..."
…
In Duke Wu's Mansion, Yuchi Jingde, who had just returned home from court, couldn't wait to go straight to the study as soon as he returned home. However, when he opened the door and glanced at the table beside him, he immediately frowned.
