The shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai was stunned when he heard Xiao Qingyi Liu say the words "I came to collect protection fees" and then laughed: "I have heard of Qingyi Tower. It is said that it is a group of local buns who came to Chang'an from other places. They thought that if they could fight, they could break out in Chang'an City. Young people, if they could fight, they might not be able to stand out. Chang'an is Chang'an. This place says that there is a river and a lake, and if they say there is no, there is no. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao Qingyi Liu still had the embarrassed attitude and said in a little embarrassed manner: "This is indeed the first time I have done this kind of thing. I also feel that it is very cheap and has no style. But I can't make the decision either. I can't beat him if I don't come. If I choose between being beaten or asking for protection fees for you, of course it is the latter."

He reached out and said, "Look at it."

The shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai chuckled again: "If you come to beg, I will give you a handful of silver. If you give you some copper coins to send you, we Hongyuanzhai will look stingy. But you are not here to beg. You might as well beg. If you want money, change the way, bow your head, bend down, say the shopkeeper's auspiciousness, and say Hongyuanzhai's business is booming, I will reward you."

Xiao Qingyi Liu seemed a little unhappy, and became serious and said seriously: "Please look at it. I am here to collect protection fees. Although it is my first time, I also have principles."

The shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai smiled and said with a smile, then asked curiously: "Since it was your first time to collect protection fees, I chose our Hongyuanzhai. I want to ask you why? Is it because you think that our Hongyuanzhai has a big business, so it will be easier to pay money? Young people, if the business is bigger, there are reasons for the business to grow, have you thought deeply?"

Xiao Qingyi Liu shook his head and answered more seriously: "The reason why I came to you Hongyuanzhai for the first time was not because you were big, but because you didn't like you. Why are you so unsightly? I'm already very polite, and I don't like you. If I can't stay polite, it will be bad for everyone."

The shopkeeper almost burst into laughter: "Then don't be polite, don't be polite."

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew backwards and flew back into the room from outside the door. He didn't know what he hit. There was a jingle and a ping-pong sound, and obviously he smashed things a lot. Hongyuanzhai sells antiques and jade, and the things he fell were worth it.

The key point is that none of the six or seven guys at the door saw clearly how the shopkeeper flew back. They didn't even see Xiao Qingyi Liu moving, but someone still found something wrong, because a lot of snow on Xiao Qingyi Liu's body fell. How could the snow fall if the person didn't move?

Xiao Qingyi Liu sighed: "It seems that it is wrong for me to be so embarrassed at the beginning. No wonder Da Qingyi Jia said when I came, just click it directly, and you have to collect protection fees as if you collect protection fees, which is fierce."

He stepped forward, and naturally the guys would not think that nothing had happened and immediately rushed to stop him. However, they still didn't see clearly how Xiao Qingyi Liu took action, so they flew out one by one. The flight route was surprisingly good, so there were seven or eight people piled up in the room. I don't know what method he used. Anyway, the people who flew out could not move, they just piled up there.

"Qingyi Building collects accounts."

Xiao Qingyiliu stood at the door and shouted loudly into the room: "Who comes out to greet me?"

The shopkeeper was knocked down and piled up at the bottom. Not to mention moving, his breathing became difficult, but he was not idle and kept scolding. At this time, someone rushed over from both sides of the store, moving very quickly.

Xiao Qingyi Liu raised his lips: "A few interesting ones finally came."

A quarter of an hour later, there were a few people at the gate of Hongyuanzhai, all of whom were masters from Hongyuanzhai. However, the masters could not keep Hongyuanzhai's face. They were piled up like a group of turtles that could not take back their legs. After removing the turtle shell, the way they stretched their legs must be unfavorable.

"Qingyi Building collects the accounts!"

Xiao Qingyi Liu shouted again.

The shopkeeper was almost out of breath and said, "There is money at the counter, you can get it yourself. If you want to get it, move the people on me first."

Xiao Qingyi Liu saw the shopkeeper's appearance and felt that it was indeed a bit pitiful. The shopkeeper was at the bottom, with six or seven guys piled up on him, which was a few hundred pounds. The shopkeeper's body was not over yet, which means that his physical fitness was pretty good.

"Alas......."

Xiao Qingyi Liu suddenly remembered something, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "There is a word called "All men are full of men?"

After saying that, he smiled and said, and he might feel a little embarrassed while smiling, so he stopped smiling and became serious again: "There is a rule for Qingyi Building to collect accounts. We want customers to be convinced and willing to put the money in our hands, rather than robbery, blackmail, or coercion. If I go to get the money at your counter, it seems that our Qingyi Building is very low-end, that is a force to rob. How can we do such vulgar things? It is a violation of the provisions of the Daning Law. In this way, since you are unwilling to pay the protection fee willingly today, I will come back tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he left Hongyuanzhai's door, and took out a piece of paper from his cuff and stuck it to the door.

There are only a few words on the paper...debt merchants.

After posting, he turned around and left, carrying the long knife that had no need to untie the cloth.

Even if the shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai was almost dumbfounded, he could already understand. Qingyi Tower was not here to collect protection fees, but to provoke them. Soon, people from the Cheng family came and were furious when they saw such a mess in Hongyuanzhai. They lifted the person down and found that the person still couldn't move. The straight limbs looked like a turtle. Except for the subtle movements of hands and feet, they couldn't even twist their necks.

Qingyi Tower.

Han Huanzhi blew on the teacup, turned around and looked out the window, and happened to see Xiao Qingyi Liu coming back from outside with the long knife, so she smiled: "The guy who collected the accounts is back. Can you guess you can receive the accounts?"

Ye Fubian cleaned up the file: "I'll leave first."

Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing: "Is he going to run away?"

Ye Fubian said, "Otherwise, you will go directly to the Cheng family's Hongyuanzhai to cause trouble. It would be strange if the Hongyuanzhai people didn't come back immediately. You have done this kind of alarming the snake. Why don't I run away quickly? I'm just bluntly saying that if the Cheng family doesn't come to Qingyilou, I'll spend ten taels of silver for each of you!"

Han Huanzhi: "So generous."

Ye Liuyun: "Thank you."

Ye Fubian was a little angry and threw the file on the table with a bang: "Do you two still treat me as brothers? You didn't tell me anything, and only told me after finishing it, do you think I'm an outsider?"

"Because I know you won't agree."

Han Huanzhi walked back with her arms around Ye Fubian's shoulder: "It's not that complicated. Didn't we talk about it just now? We can be sure about what Your Majesty asked us to be sure, but we can't find the evidence. It has been forty years since the first thing we wanted to investigate. There is no evidence there, but those people have to do it. If you can't find the evidence from decades ago, then check the evidence now. They carefully shrank their tails, and then we will stomp hard on the tail, so that they can move, and there will be flaws when they move."

"Why is the Cheng family?"

Ye Fubian asked angrily.

"The old man from the Cheng family only left last year, and now the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Fanghe, is extremely close to that old man. Cheng Fanghe's father left early, and the old man has always been the one who makes the decision on the Cheng family. So I firmly believe that Cheng Fanghe will hear a lot of things from his grandfather, but Cheng Fanghe can't hide now. If we can't find him, we can only force him out."

Han Huanzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Cheng Fanghe's grandfather was one of the people involved in it, and he was one of the people who took the lead. He said in front of the late emperor that His Majesty had the appearance of an eagle and a wolf, which was not as good as the eldest prince's kindness. At that time, His Majesty did not accept their control. In order to seize the position of the crown prince, the eldest prince also brought a lot of benefits from these noble families."

At that time, Li Chengyuan and many noble families were closely following. In order to stabilize the position of the crown prince, he and many families promised that as long as he could ascend the throne and become Emperor Daning, he would definitely reuse the descendants of these noble and old ministers again. There were too many promises, so there were too many people supporting Li Chengyuan at that time. They seemed to brainwash and talked about Li Chengyuan's benefits all day in front of the advanced emperor, but kept belittling Li Chengtang, because they knew very well that once the advanced emperor chose Li Chengtang, it was impossible for them to restore the glory of the family.

However, helping Li Chengyuan ascends the throne is just the beginning of the plan, and their plan is so big that it is beyond imagination.

Judging from what Han Huanzhi and Ye Liuyun found now, the plan span is at least ten years, or even longer. They can be said to do everything they can to do for this plan. Even Mu Zhaotong, who was in power at the time, was just a link in this plan.

But later, when His Majesty Li Chengtang unexpectedly ascended the throne and became Emperor Daning, Mu Zhaotong also took the opportunity to withdraw from that plan and even was among many big families for a time. Why was Mu Zhaotong able to master such a large resource and have so many people to support? Even if he had fallen later, there were still so many people who could use it, including financial and material resources. It was because Mu Zhaotong held a lot of their handles in his hands, and they had to provide these for Mu Zhaotong.

So later Mu Zhaotong died, and these people were relieved.

Li Chengtang became the emperor and interrupted that plan.

Why does Li Chengyuan have no children?

That was part of the plan.

Why did Li Chengyuan’s queen design to kill Li Chengyuan?

Why did Mu Zhaotong decide to choose a young man from the descendants of the kings to become the new emperor?

None of these things happen by chance.

Li Chengyuan's empress's surname was Su. Empress Su's family was a founding family of meritorious families. Su Tong, the ancestor of the Su family, was an old brother of His Majesty Emperor Taizu of Daning. Although he did not follow Taizu from where Taizu raised his army, he later surrendered and made many military achievements in Taizu's ankle. After the founding of the country, Su Tong was named Duke of the Kingdom of Yao.

Li Chengyuan's choice of queen from the Su family was also one of the conditions for obtaining support back then.
