He had to go and see who was responsible for patrolling this place today!
He may be able to tolerate problems elsewhere, but this is under his nose, the heel of the imperial city. If he continues to tolerate it, will he have to find his own trouble when he wakes up tomorrow?
Headache?
Changsun Wuji has a very 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 is the founder of the Yitong Sansi Division. He is a serious prime minister and assistant, but he does not have the time to lead the troops in person.
But the problem is, if we really want to compare it to reality, 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, I was just strolling down the street, and dozens of burly men popped out, so 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 shocking thief 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 careful consideration, 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 behind the scenes.
Therefore, he used his authority to slightly adjust the patrol areas.
His actions were not big, 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 can happen?
The worst that can happen is a reprimand and a pay penalty, but the worst is a punishment of 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 deputy general on down, all the 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. 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 was directly ordered to be executed.
This move made many people suddenly feel awe-inspiring, and then they remembered that His Majesty, who was usually tolerant of courtiers, was courteous to aristocratic families, and even swallowed his anger, was once a man on the battlefield.
A commander who has experienced life and death.
Only then did he remember that his Majesty, who repeatedly gave 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 proven that a dozen heads are more effective than a truth preached 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 much fierce resistance. Whether they were selling in the colored glaze business or setting up stalls along the street, they basically did not struggle for a few times before being escorted by the Wang family's guards.
Take it on the spot.
These guards of the Wang family were 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 if they are armed with weapons, cannot make any splash.
Fortunately, the Wang family members were relatively restrained. They only took people but 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 worth a lot of money after all. Even if these guys suddenly appear and only sell one or two hundred guan or even dozens of guan each, for ordinary people, it is still a sky-high price.
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 you 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 personally broke into Nanya 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 captured on the spot by Wu Hou.
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 trespass, it is not a serious crime. Is it possible that the imperial court still wants us, the Wang family, to watch helplessly as the thieves steal our Wang family's property and still parade around outside?
"
Having said this, Wang Gui stared at Wang Yan who looked depressed.
"But this matter is by no means unusual - I am afraid that 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 chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This matter, now, is no longer a matter of our Wang family. Tell them that if our lips are dead and our teeth are cold, if our Wang family falls, they will not be far away...
"
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 more than a dozen heads were 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 through 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, then waved his hand and disappeared into the crowd again with his brothers.
These people were originally ordered to secretly protect them, and they had always hidden them well. But today, in a desperate situation, they were suddenly exposed.
This is a bit embarrassing.
Because people like me 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 her 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 after hearing this.
"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.
Very obediently, he handed the scroll in his hand to Li Yuan.
Li Yuan opened it and took a look, his eyes instantly lit up.
"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 emerges from the mud but is not stained, washes 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 pure and clear. 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 man from the world. I guess he is just joking with you and won't embarrass her..."
"Can……"
Li Zhiruo was about to say more, but was interrupted by Li Yuan with a cheerful expression.
"It's okay. 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 I hurried to Li Jing's house and saw Li Jing and his wife, I realized that Li Zhiruo hadn't come back yet.
I was immediately fascinated.
I thought to myself, that silly girl, wasn’t she 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.
If you go shopping here, 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 own daughter who initiated this matter, that brat really dares to take his precious daughter back, so that’s wrong!
Is it fair for a dignified daughter of the Li family to work as a servant for Prince An?
If this spreads out, will it be easy to say or not? Do you want the old Li family to lose face?
Will you be able to find an in-law in the future?
I saw 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 I say, as an elder, I did not stop the two children from messing around. I just joined in the fun and acted as a referee for others. It was just a matter of being a referee, and I even got someone's daughter into the trap.
Li Jing, on the other hand, after hearing what happened, shook his head at his wife helplessly.
"Madam, please be patient."
Then, he turned around and saluted Ouyang Xun with cupped fists.
"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 while, then turned to face the red-whisker 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 inappropriate 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 do 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, he is protective of the calf.
"Okay - but don't be impulsive..."
Seeing that her husband was not at ease with her, Hongfu Nu couldn't 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. At worst, we will 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——
He stood 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 got home. However, when he opened the door and glanced at the table beside him, he immediately frowned.
