And at this time...
Chang'an City, Cui Mansion.
As the new head of the Cui family for two years after Cui Wanji...
Cui Yunji's reputation slowly stabilized, and there were few dissenters from several major clans.
The voices of the Cui family in the court and the voices of the Cui family are gradually moving closer to Cui Yunji, the new head of the family.
It was originally planned that after the new year passed, Cui Yunji was ready to do business either in the court or under the clan.
When he begins to promote and place his closest confidants, and truly takes control of his position as the head of the Cui family...
But this year, a country boy suddenly emerged from the East Market with "a few big trees" standing behind him for no reason!
With this country boy appearing out of nowhere, the business of the Cui family's wine shop dropped by almost half within half a year.
As for the other half, as long as this kid wants to fight, it's almost nothing more than a matter of what he wants or doesn't want.
To put it simply, if Tang Sufan is not solved, a large family business that the Cui family has always relied on will be completely eliminated.
But not only that, but when the charcoal that benefited Chang'an came out, several people flocked to it.
And this coal, which can be said to be the "basic of people's livelihood", is actually linked to this country boy!
But it happened that the imperial court was the official guarantor behind him, and several great princes spoke for him, and even for some reason they were granted titles and homage.
Later, this ignorant boy caused a big disturbance at the student gathering of the Cui and Zheng families. On the contrary, the people's livelihood improved, and no one in the family could do anything about him.
The various major events that followed in the court were also mixed.
During this period of time, Cui Yunji had a big head, Ansheng, who had not even passed his age.
Not only did the kid surnamed Tang appear out of nowhere, he had no idea what to do.
The court was also secretly in turmoil this year, but the boy surnamed Tang had no time to pay attention to it.
His Majesty's suddenly strong attitude, the changes in the border, and even the looming trend in Chang'an City now give Cui Yunji a headache all day long.
More importantly, there were problems with the goods going outside again and again!
Not only that, there are also voices of dissatisfaction within the clan.
If this continues, is it okay?
How could he, Cui Yunji, the head of the Cui family, sit peacefully?
It should be noted that the clan of the Clan is deeply rooted, and there are also many people with mixed eyes. The five major clans of the Cui family will inevitably have people who keep an eye on him.
"Master of the house!! Master of the house!!!"
Cui Yunji suddenly heard a voice approaching from outside the door. Cui Yunji, who was sitting in the study and thinking deeply, frowning deeply, subconsciously felt his heart.
He quickly stood up with a serious look on his face.
It was the same old housekeeper who looked a little confused and in a daze.
That hesitant expression turned Cui Yunji's expression that had just darkened into anger.
The old housekeeper entered the study and muttered in an ugly tone: "Master..."
Cui Yunji held back his anger and snorted as if numb.
"Tell me, what kind of Zhang Mazi is this again?!"
God is not against me!
But you have to get in trouble with me, Cui Yunji, over and over again at this moment!
The old housekeeper still held a piece of rice paper in his hand...
He said somewhat speechlessly...
"Master, for this shipment, we have specially selected experts to move the goods. They turned west from Gyeonggi Province and took the direction of Yeongju, but still..."
You don’t need to listen to know the rest.
Bang!
Cui Yunji looked furious and punched the desk hard!
Then he directly grabbed the Jingqu Jiuwen bottle worth more than 30 coins on the table and smashed it on the ground!
This sudden movement frightened the few boys who had just passed by the door and panicked. They quickly lowered their heads and walked slowly, for fear of revealing the movement.
The owner of the house was furious, and several servants
Don't even think about it, for fear of setting yourself on fire!
It's those bandits again! ! ! ! !
Or that person named Zhang Mazi, do I, Cui Yunji, have a huge grudge against you?
You bullied me too much! You bullied me too much!
Simply lawless! On Gyeonggi Road, just seven days before and after New Year's Eve, the Cui family's large caravan heading outside the customs was directly robbed three times!
But every time it’s that Zhang Mazi!
Cui Yunji can't wait to turn this pockmark into ashes!
Who dares to keep going against his Cui family? Who gives him the courage?
Cui Yunji almost gritted his teeth and asked.
"This is the first time!"
"Master...this...is the fourth time!"
The old housekeeper replied in a trembling voice and handed the crumpled paper in his hand to Cui Yunji.
"This...this is what the bandits left behind..."
And this word "huan" has a lot of soul.
Obviously this process has been done three times before...
Then Cui Yunji took it with a big wave of his hand...
Still the familiar "recipe", still the familiar "taste"...
On that high quality white rice paper.
I don't know "who" it is... there is something drawn on it that only future generations can recognize at a glance and exclaim "emoticon".
I saw...
There is a black and white panda head painted on it. The panda head has a "unruly" expression, a "black" cigarette hanging from the corner of its mouth, and a small gun in its fat hand.
Next to it are several large characters written in ink ~
"Sir, times have changed~"
Although Cui Yunji of the Tang Dynasty could not tell what this painting was about...
But the oncoming ridicule can be seen from the traditional Chinese characters that were written like ghost drawings and some missing calligraphy and painting.
This is clearly the provocation and ridicule of the thief!
Cui Yunji's face turned red and he tore the strange thing in his hand to pieces!
He yelled angrily!
"Asshole! Asshole!!!!"
Immediately, Cui Yunji was so angry that he couldn't help but tremble in his steps and tilt his body.
Fortunately, the old housekeeper had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him up.
Otherwise, it might fall directly to the ground.
The old housekeeper quickly and carefully helped Cui Yunji sit on the chair.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!!!"
Cui Yunji's face turned red and he coughed rapidly.
Obviously, the head of the Cui family was very angry.
This is already the fourth time...
Even if every word written a little more like a person, Cui Yunji would never feel so angry!
Every time Cui Yunji saw the words "arrogant and domineering" and "inconsistent", he would get angry!
After a while...
Cui Yunji's complexion was as black as a piece of charcoal.
"Old Lin, go to the Chamber of Commerce quickly and find two routes to Tubo that bypass the Gyeonggi Road. It doesn't matter even if it takes two extra days... Just make sure it's delivered safely."
"In addition, I will write a handwritten letter later. Over there, Yangtong will send two trustworthy people to pass on my letter and let Ganbu Zadel decide as appropriate!"
"Also, go and invite Jin Shilang, the assistant minister of Jinwu Guards, and Zhang Fuyin of Jingzhao Prefecture. Tell me, Cui Yunji, that I have something to ask of you and come to meet you."
Cui Yunji is naturally a character. After being so angry, he still carefully thought about the causes and consequences and made arrangements.
Cui Yunji, who was panting angrily, spoke urgently, then patted his chest and looked ahead with gloomy eyes.
The fire in his eyes was almost burning out.
Rebel! Rebel!
After I capture you, your life will be worse than death!
The old housekeeper nodded quickly in agreement.
"Old slave, let's do it now!"
The old housekeeper didn't dare to delay and hurriedly left Cui Yunji's study.
This time he turned around without hesitation or heading towards the outer door of Cui's house. After wandering around, he went straight to the inner courtyard of Cui's house...
