Chapter 26 It’s time to take action against Shuo Fang

"Old man, I see you are old, so I respect you, but don't rely on your old age. I won't do this. And if you want to participate, you can participate. I, Li Wan, have never been afraid, but today your Cui's Winery will definitely

You must pay me three thousand gu in compensation, or I will demolish your wine shop." Li Wan also became angry.

"Okay, okay, haha... Li Jing gave birth to a good daughter." Cui Jinhua laughed angrily, "Come here, bring three thousand guans to General Li Pian."

"Cousin, no." Manager Cui immediately persuaded her. This example should not be used, otherwise Ms. Cui will be laughed at by others.

Cui Jinhua directly pushed Manager Cui away and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here, you loser. I'll settle the score with you later."

Not long after, three thousand strings were transported by Cui's people on an ox cart.

Cui Jinhua said: "You can take the money, but you will be responsible for the consequences."

"You don't have to worry about it, you should just take care of your tavern." Li Wan replied, then ordered people to drive away the ox cart and return to Li's Tavern.

With the Cui family's compromise, no one in the other wineries dared not to pay compensation. The most important thing was that they did not dare to offend Li Wan.

Although they also have a back-end, their back-end doesn't know anything and doesn't plan to step forward for the time being, preferring to spend money to get things done.

This resulted in Li Feng earning more than 10,000 yuan at a time.

Some people gain while others lose. Li Yi never thought that Li Feng would involve Li Wan, a very prestigious second-generation military officer.

"Uncle Li Yi, we lost more than 20,000 yuan for Li Feng." Li Quan said with some dissatisfaction.

Li Yi said calmly: "Master Li Quan, calm down. Let's investigate the relationship between Li Feng and Li Wan first, and then make the next plan."

"Do we still want to conquer Li Feng? Can't we acquire the Wang family's property first and then deal with Li Feng?"

"Don't be anxious, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and the fisherman will benefit. Master Li Quan, you are too impatient." Li Yi said.

"However, the Cui family is already taking action, and the previous business of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has been taken over by them.

Especially grain, the biggest grain merchant in Chang'an now is the Cui family. But our Li family hasn't gotten anything yet."

"Master Li Quan, the main business of our Li family is selling salt. The Wang family has a salt mountain, and we need to buy it.

But there are so many people staring at this salt mountain, so our Li family has to pay a high price to get this salt mountain.

So we need to do something to turn the salt mountain into a poisonous salt mountain and keep the price to the lowest.

However, it is very easy to do this. It can also be said to be very complicated. It is easy because just one rumor is enough. It is complicated because the timing must be grasped well. Once it is not grasped well, it will be a marriage to someone else.

Clothes.

Young Master Li Quan, it’s not that I want to criticize you, it’s just that you are too young and energetic, and your grasp of the overall situation is not accurate enough, and you need more training and training.”

Li Yi said a lot of truths, but he just hoped that Li Quan could understand that he should not care about small things and look at the overall situation.

Li Quan wasn't stupid either. He understood what Li Yi said, but he didn't understand some things either. He asked, "Uncle Li Yi, when is the best time for us?"

"When everyone is competing for it and the price is the highest, the higher it rises and the harder it falls."

"I've learned a lesson." Li Quan said modestly.

Li Yi spoke again: "The Wang family's biggest business is the silk industry, and their main business is Jiangnan and overseas, that is, the group of Hu people.

It is quite difficult to annex this area, so we gave up decisively and let others snatch it. Cui is the smartest at the moment and only robbed the food, leaving nothing else."

"He doesn't have any conspiracy, does he?"

"I don't know yet. I have sent people to keep an eye on it. There will be news soon. You can also take advantage of this and find someone named Cui to inquire."

"I see."

Li Quan went to see Manager Cui again.

At this time, Manager Cui was being taught a lesson by Cui Jinhua, and then removed from all positions. Now he has become a powerless person, and he no longer has the right to order anyone.

He returned to his residence frustrated, only to see Li Quan.

"Why are you here?" Manager Cui asked.

Li Quan smiled and said: "It is unjustifiable to take advantage of my Li family and not do anything."

"I will return the money to you. I have not exposed you, and you should not come to me in the future."

"Okay, but you have to answer a few questions from me."

"Ask. After asking, leave quickly."

"I heard that your Cui family has become the largest grain merchant in Chang'an."

"I don't know, my eldest nephew has always been in charge of this matter. I am only responsible for the affairs of the winery. It's your fault. Now I don't even have to take care of the affairs of the winery." Manager Cui laughed at himself.

Li Quan smiled and did not answer, but said: "Then how can we find your eldest nephew?"

"He is elusive. Who knows? Oh, by the way, go to Juxiang Tower. He often goes to Juxiang Tower. If you want to go, just go to Juxiang Tower. You should be able to investigate the rest by yourself."

"Thank you. You can keep the money. It's considered hush money." Li Quan said very generously.

Manager Cui nodded and ignored Li Quan. He returned to his mansion and began to rest. As for the Li family's affairs, he would not mention it anyway. It was not the Li family's trouble that was known to others, but his own trouble. He would be labeled as such.

The crime of treason.

After Li Quan told the matter again.

Li Yi nodded and said: "The Cui family really has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I didn't expect that the prodigal Cui Zhi is the most hidden chess piece of the Cui family in Chang'an. Young Master Li Quan, from tomorrow you will go to Juxiang Tower and try your best to become friends with Cui Zhi."

"yes."

Manna Hall.

Another round of morning court has begun. Li Er, who is sitting on the dragon throne, seems a little listless. He has not seen Li Feng for a while. What has he been doing recently? After the court, he and Fang Xuanling went to see him.

At this moment, Cui Jinhua came out from the team: "Your Majesty, I am suing Li Jing's daughter, Li Wan, for leading the servants in the house to disturb the people, and forcibly robbed more than 10,000 yuan in the form of compensation. Here are all the major

The wine shop has filed a joint complaint, and your Majesty is asked to make the decision for everyone?"

Li Er frowned and said, "Send it up."

A eunuch quickly took the complaint from Cui Jinhua and handed it to Li Er respectfully.

After Li Er read the complaint, he looked at Li Jing and said in a deep voice: "Li Jing, what is going on? Don't tell me, your father doesn't know about this?"

Li Jing stood up and said: "I know a little bit, it seems that I went to collect debts for a friend."

"Collecting debts for a friend? Could it be that these dozen wine shops all owe money to her friends?" Li Er didn't believe it at all.

Li Jing nodded and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. Your Majesty also knows Wan'er's friend, he is Li Feng."

"Li Feng? What exactly happened?" Li Er suddenly became more energetic. Why did Li Feng suddenly get involved with these wine shops and even go to collect debts?

Li Jing held up his hands again and explained: "I heard from Wan'er that Cui led the major wine shops in Chang'an to smash up Li's tavern. Fortunately, Li Feng had some martial arts skills, otherwise everyone might have been injured.

Now Li Feng has left Chang'an City and went to Wannian County because of this incident. Before leaving, Li Feng asked Wan'er to ask for compensation."

Li Er's face turned cold and he asked: "Cui Jinhua, did your Cui's Winery really destroy Li's Tavern?"

Cui Jinren said calmly: "Your Majesty, something happened."

"How dare you, this important place in the capital, allows you to ignore the law and discipline like this?" Li Er said angrily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm afraid there may be some hidden agenda in this matter. You might as well let Dali Temple handle it." Fang Xuanling said immediately.

It is not possible to fall out with people from seven sects and five surnames yet. Fang Xuanling knows this truth deeply, so he is afraid that Li Er will get angry and say some biased words, which will cause the aristocratic families to rebound.

Li Er had just ascended the throne and it was not appropriate to do something that would cause changes in the court. For example, if officials from aristocratic families resigned en masse, the consequences would be serious.

After Fang Xuanling's reminder, Li Er calmed down and said: "This matter is related to alcohol. After Li Feng makes the alcohol, Dali Temple will investigate."

"Yes." Wan Siqi, the minister of Dali Temple, said together.

Li Er said again: "Li Jing, Cui Jinhua, this matter will be handled by the Ministry of Justice. You are not allowed to mention it again until there is no result. In addition, both of you can look for evidence to prove that you are right. I don't want to hear the word "unjust".

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Jing and Cui Jinhua both stood aside.

The entire imperial court already knew about the alcohol matter, even Cheng Yaojin and his three men, who ordered a thousand kilograms of alcohol every month, also knew about it.

For this matter, Chai Shao complained a lot about the three of them. They went earlier than him and didn't buy alcohol. How could Li Feng have alcohol? He thought Li Feng didn't respect him.

Cheng Yaojin and the others smiled nonchalantly and even told Chai Shao that if they wanted alcohol, just ask him.

Li Er said in a deep voice again: "Chai Shao, you and Tang Jian are going to buy alcohol again. Remember not to cause trouble. I must get alcohol this time."

Everyone was stunned, His Majesty was so decisive, he was going to attack Shuo Fang.

Cheng Yaojin immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, we are going to take action against Shuofang, and I am willing to be the vanguard."

"I am also willing to be a pioneer." Yu Chigong said.

Immediately afterwards, a group of military generals came out and asked to be the vanguard.

Li Er was very pleased to see everyone's positive attitude, and said: "I will consider the personnel arrangements again, dear friends, don't worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Next came the trivial matters. Only Wei Zheng handed Ma Zhou's memorial to Li Er.

After Jinyang Earth Dragon turned around, the imperial court sent Ma Zhou to make arrangements. This news only came once every ten days, and it has been a month now. It is almost time to come back.

After Li Er read the contents of the memorial, he was very pleased and said: "The Earth Dragon Turn in Jinyang is over. Because the court made arrangements in advance, there were very few casualties, but many houses collapsed. Tang Jian, the treasury, not

Allocate 200,000 yuan from the real inner treasury and send it to Jinyang to build houses for the people."

Tang Jian said: "I would like to thank His Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the people of Jinyang."

Li Er smiled and said: "No need to be polite. When Ma Zhou comes back, let him enter the secretary's prison."

After going to court, Li Er took Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji to Taiping Village, Wannian County to find Li Feng.
