Chapter 209: Fake Taoism destroys Guo

When Li Qing heard that there was an urgent matter in the mansion, he didn't bother to talk to others, so he flew on his horse and rushed to the house.

A group of guards rushed out of Hanguang Gate, but saw his butler Zhang Wang leading several family members to argue with the soldiers guarding the city gate. His face was red and his neck was thick, and his feet were jumping straight with anxiousness.

Li Qing immediately shouted angrily, "Zhang Wang, what are you doing!" His face immediately became gloomy. The imperial city is the administrative center of a country. How could anyone enter? The soldiers did not teach him a lesson because of his own sake, but he was ungrateful.

Since he became the Minister of Revenue, some of his family members have begun to get a little proud. Zhang Wang bought 100 acres of fertile land at an extremely low price in his hometown Langzhong. It is said that the coachman Lao Yu also raised two women outside. The curtain also knew about these things, but she was too nostalgic and indulged them.

Zhang Wang suddenly saw Li Qing. He hurriedly rolled over and crawled, saying in a crying voice: "Master, a group of gangsters came to cause trouble in the afternoon, smashed the stone lion in front of the door and the main door. The second wife came out to negotiate, she, she."

"Xiaoyu!?"

Li Qingzong immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Wang's clothes and shouted: "Tell me quickly! How is the second wife?"

"The second lady was hit on the head by a flowing stone and is still unconscious."

Li Qing's brain buzzed! The news of Xiaoyu's injury made his eyes red. He whipped the horse's buttocks suddenly, and the war horse neighed and rushed out. In the wind, he heard Zhang Wang's stuttering scream again: "Master! Something big happened in the west city, so you can go there quickly."

Li Qing suddenly strangled the reins, and he immediately realized that the enemy of the new salt method had already begun to take action, and he used the most despicable means to attack his relatives.

At this moment, his mind became extremely calm. He knew that the salt method was drafted by him. Only two days after the salt method was introduced, someone leaked the secret. Who would this person be? Li Longji, Gao Lishi, Li Chu, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, Li Linfu, and Li Qing's faces slowly appeared on his face, "Li Linfu!" It was him.

"Governor, should we go to Xishi or go back to the mansion?" Li Fei Yuanli, who was behind, rushed up and asked.

Li Qing raised his hand and whispered: "Li Fei Shouyu!"

"Governor, I'm here!" Li Fei Shouyu urged the horse to come to Li Qing's side.

Li Qing's face was ashen and his face was terrifyingly gloomy. He said word by word: "Take a hundred brothers back to my mansion first. If someone comes to cause trouble, you can drive me away with a wooden stick. If you can't drive away, kill me if you dare to do something again!"

After saying that, he urged the horse and the war horse ran out. After a long time, his cold voice came from afar: "The rest of the brothers will go to the West Market with me!"

In the West City, Li Qing's shop has been in trouble inside and outside. Thousands of Chang'an citizens who don't know the truth have smashed the shop inside and outside. The nearly 10,000-yuan Shu brocade and silk were robbed. His friend ran around with his head and was chased and beaten everywhere. Dozens of yamen runners from the city office looked around, not coming forward to stop them, but only preventing disasters from happening to other shops.

"It was the owner of this shop that made the salt and rice prices soar, and everyone burned this shop!" A tall and thin man screamed on the outside.

"We want rice to support our family! We want salt!" Several people next to us were yelling.

"Burn them to death!" The furious crowd pushed the guys into the shop. The excitement of the crowd was already incited to the extreme, as if a burning powder barrel was about to explode at any time. Someone had already lit a torch and threw it into the courtyard wall.

At this moment, the dense sound of iron hooves sounded in the distance, like thunder rolling through the sky. A group of black cavalrymen were galloping on the empty streets of Xishi, a thousand steps away, and the bitter murderous aura was already slashing at the face.

"Run quickly! The officers and soldiers are here." The crowd burst into a frightened cry, and people stumbled around. The nearby shops that were scathing were closed, and dozens of yamen runners were even more panicked. They were not just about escaping, nor were they staying.

Before the crowd could escape, Li Qing's two hundred cavalry had already roared over and blocked all the exits. Hundreds of people were still rushing out desperately. They were whipped up by soldiers, dozens of them fell to the ground and rolled on the ground and cried.

"Run everything to the yard and check the territory one by one!" Li Qing looked at the shop that was smashed beyond recognition and the blood-faced man. He was really angry for the first time. He didn't give them some color to see, and he really thought he was a sick cat!

He suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall and thin man in a corner of the wall, with the help of several people, was about to climb over the wall and escape. He sneered, pointed at the horse whip, and ordered: "Catch those people for me and detain them alone!"

A dozen cavalrymen flew past and dragged the tall man and his accomplices into the compound like a chicken.

"Mr. Li, what are you doing?"

When the West City Bureau ordered the cavalry to rush to the shop and courtyard, he couldn't help but exclaim: "They are all ordinary people, what are you trying to catch them?"

"What ordinary people?" Li Qingbian pointed to the smashed shop and said angrily: "Can ordinary people do such things? This is clearly a group of thugs."

The order of the bureau quickly explained: "Mr. Li, they had no choice but to have it. Now the salt price in Chang'an has soared from the original fifteen cents per dot overnight to one hundred and forty cents per dot, which has increased by nearly ten times, and the rice price has also risen accordingly, reaching sixty cents per dot, so we came in anger."

When he heard that the price of rice salt increased, Li Qing's anger subsided slightly. He exhaled a breath and tried his best tone to ease: "Of course, if there are really innocent people, I will naturally let them go, but if I smashed my store, I will compensate me for all the losses and then let them go!"

He rode his horse to approach the order, looked at him gloomyly, and sneered: "You are the chief official of Xishi City. A thug came to smash the shop and hurt people, but you ignored it and stood by and watched. Could it be that you were instructed?"

The order was so scared that he took a step back, waved his hands repeatedly, and said in panic: "Don't frame me, Mr. Li, this is not a casual talk. How could I instruct someone to smash the shop and hurt people? Where did this start?"

Seeing that although he denied it, Li Qing looked panicked and obviously had something to hide from him. At this time, Li Fei Yuanli came over and smiled and said, "Governor, those people have told me that they are."

He was about to continue speaking, but suddenly noticed Li Qing's eyes. He was so scared that he swallowed the second half of the sentence, and then smiled proudly: "My method of judging people is famous in the Western Regions. No matter how strong a man is, he can't stand a stick of incense in my hands. Don't talk about a few small thieves."

Li Qing waved his hand and ordered him to stop. Then he turned around and said coldly to the bureau order: "I don't care whether you have instructed me or not, but it is a fact that you have dereliction of duty. You can't put on this official hat anymore. Go to the Ministry of Personnel to explain it yourself! Don't let me impeach you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the compound, but the order followed him, with a dilemma on his face and hesitated: "Mr. Li, I don't care. If I really have to say anything from above, I can't do anything!"

"above?"

Li Qing stopped. The municipal office was under Taifu Temple. Isn’t the new Shaoqing of Taifu Temple Yang Guozhong? In fact, he didn’t even say the order, and he knew that it was Yang Guozhong who made a move.

"Go! I'll spare you this time, but I'll lose too much this time, and I'll probably lose a group of old customers. I don't care what you use. You must ensure my customers' source, otherwise, I will settle the old and new accounts together."

"Yes! Yes!" The order of the government received a general amnesty, turned around and ran away with dozens of yamen runners.

After he walked away, Li Qing turned around and looked at Li Fei Yuanli, and said with a smile: "Tell me! What did you ask?"

It was already dark, and the rain began to fall again. It drizzled like a needle tip, and it was poured onto my face, making people feel extremely cold and uncomfortable. A carriage turned from the corner of the street under the escort of more than a dozen followers. In the carriage, Yang Guozhong closed his eyes and was proudly celebrating the little song. He had just returned from the Qing Palace. Today was his second time. He went back to retrieve two beautiful concubines yesterday, and today he received the promise that King Qing would guarantee that his son would be on the list. Of course, there was no free lunch in the world. Yang Guozhong had promised King Qing that he would try his best to prevent the implementation of the new salt law.

The carriage he was riding in was also given by King Qing. It was exquisitely decorated and decorated with luxurious decoration. In addition, the carriage was wide and comfortable, which made Yang Guozhong really like it.

Early this morning, King Qing's confidant Jia Hai came to tell him that there would be an action in the West City today and ordered him to tell the city office that it would not stop it.

The operation in Xishi should be over, but Yang Guozhong didn't know what the result was. He forgot to ask when he was at Prince Qing's Mansion just now.

When the carriage reached the door of the mansion, he found through the car window that there were more than a dozen knights standing under a big tree next to him. "Stop!" He suddenly saw clearly that the person in charge was Li Qing.

"What are you doing in the rain? If you have something to do with me, why don't you go in and wait?" Yang Guozhong pushed open the car door and greeted him with a smile.

Li Qing has been waiting here for nearly an hour, and finally waited for Yang Guozhong. At this moment, Li Fei Yuanli's words were still echoing in his mind:

"It was done by a gangster in Dongshi. It is said that this gangster has the background of King Qing."

It was the underworld again. After Li Qing left Chengdu, he never heard of this word again. Unexpectedly, just as Yang Guozhong was about to promote salt administration, the shadow of the underworld appeared again.

But times change and he no longer has the interest to fight against the underworld. Now, a small underworld is easier for him than to kill an ant.

But he could no longer think about it. Yang Guozhong appeared in front of him. Li Qing looked at him and suddenly smiled faintly, "The royal family, relatives, and prince consorts, you must not return unless you are close relatives. Yang Zhongcheng ran to Prince Qing's mansion every day, aren't you afraid of being impeached?"

Li Qing suddenly said something that scared Yang Guozhong. This was the original sentence he quoted when he impeached the prince not long ago. Although the unspoken rules of this sentence now only apply to the prince, if anyone insists on being serious, it is actually not allowed to see other princes.

"Xian, brother, are you telling a joke!" Yang Guozhong's tone became a little stuttered.

"Why is this a joke?" Li Qing held a note in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "I plan to report this to Your Majesty truthfully tomorrow."

"My brother, please offer it! How can you not report this to Your Majesty?" Yang Guozhong's biggest advantage is that he is cheerful, does not delay his words and does things, and is straightforward. He knew that since Li Qing spoke to him, he must have the conditions to exchange.

Li Qing jumped off his horse and walked slowly to him, "Actually, my conditions are very simple. There is a gangster active in the Dongshi area called Dongshi Gang. They dared to assassinate me. Since you are also the Young Master Yin of Jingzhao, I will give you three days to destroy this gang for me. The money and goods seized must be compensated for my losses first."
