At the same time, the same scene filled the entire city of Chang'an.
Li Shimin specially arranged for people to deal with this group of opportunistic guys.
After all, Longliqi is now his cash cow and cannot be tolerated by anyone.
Some other big businessmen also got wind of the news and quickly gave up the idea of targeting Longliqi.
Being able to mobilize the Chang'an City garrison to eliminate dissidents for him, the person behind Longliqi is definitely not an easy person.
They can become rich in Chang'an City, they are definitely not brainless people.
Of course you know what you can touch and what you can't.
This Longliqi has almost become a taboo for them.
As the most powerful person in the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Bancheng.
At this moment, his mansion was crowded with people.
Several merchants wearing expensive clothes and with livid faces said angrily: "President Zhao, you must take care of this matter, we can't let them go on like this."
"Yes, President Zhao, you must make the decision before us!"
"This Longrich is a monopoly. If this continues, we will all be done with it."
Looking at the indignant merchants in front of him, Zhao Bancheng sneered in his heart.
Others don't know the urine properties of these guys, how could he not know?
Aren't these guys just jealous of the money Longliqi earns? What they just said is so high-level.
Want him to be a gun? There is no way!
There is no one who can be here who is not an old fox.
So Zhao Bancheng quickly pretended to be stupid. He kept talking and chatting with this group of merchants while avoiding the important and trivial.
"President Zhao, how about we join forces to resist this Longliqi and drive him out of Chang'an City!"
"I agree, let him know who belongs to Chang'an City!"
"Yes, we must not lose face."
After seeing the tough performance of everyone in front of him, Zhao Bancheng's face was full of disdain.
These guys really speak better than they sing, and they are all very strong-willed.
When the time comes, I'm afraid the first person to sell out will be myself.
After Zhao Bancheng glanced at the businessmen present, he said coldly: "Just do whatever you want, I won't participate."
He is not one of these idiots. He has already sent people to investigate Muchuan these days.
Today's Muchuan, the background and backstage are not simple.
If you don’t check, you won’t know. If you check, you will be shocked.
Zhao Bancheng found out that Longliqi's name was first promoted by the empress of the dynasty.
I don't know what kind of bad luck this guy got, but he managed to gain connections with the royal family?
Not to mention him, even his backstage members did not dare to show any behavior in front of the royal family.
Moreover, in Chang'an City, the group of guys who were good at imitation were almost killed in one go in the past two days, and now they are still in prison.
No matter how stupid he is, he still understands that the person behind Muchuan is helping him.
Therefore, even if he is beaten to death, he will not care about this matter.
"President Zhao, what are you..."
Seeing that Zhao Bancheng ignored him, several merchants present were at a loss for a moment.
They all looked at each other, their big eyes staring into small eyes, full of confusion.
Zhao Bancheng sighed and said slowly to the merchants in front of him: "I advise you not to interfere. I can only tell you now that the identity of Muchuan is not simple. The person behind it is beyond your imagination.
If you do something with him, you will be the only ones unlucky."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Bancheng did not hesitate at all, turned around and left the lobby directly.
After listening to Zhao Bancheng's words, several merchants looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.
There is no way their power can compare with Zhao Bancheng.
Now that even Zhao Bancheng doesn't dare to intervene, how can they dare to continue to entangle?
At that moment, everyone quickly dispersed and returned to their own mansions.
On the other side, Chai Shao led his team out of Chang'an City.
We arrived at the first disaster-stricken place.
"General, there are bandits on the road ahead, we must be careful."
A general looked around and quickly reminded Chai Shao.
Chai Shao nodded slightly, and then ordered coldly: "Send my military order, everyone must be vigilant to prevent bandits."
The general hurriedly bowed his hands and then went down to convey the order.
What he is escorting now is relief money for the victims. If it is intercepted by bandits, he may not escape death!
Therefore, Chai Shao did not hesitate and directly issued orders to be careful and vigilant.
He continued to walk forward, and Chai Shao's face became increasingly ugly as he walked.
I saw hungry refugees everywhere, digging tree roots and turf at this moment.
Then they stuffed it into their mouths hungrily, and even some old and frail refugees fell straight in front of Chai Shao.
As a general, Chai Shao could tell at a glance that the old man was starving to death.
He couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.
In the city of Chang'an, there was no shortage of singing and dancing, even wine, meat and music.
Unexpectedly, as soon as we left Chang'an City, there would be bones everywhere.
For a moment, Chai Shao lowered his head in shame.
As a noble of the Tang Dynasty, he actually didn't know anything about this kind of thing. He even thought that the entire Tang Dynasty was singing and dancing and the people were living and working in peace and contentment.
What happened this time was like a slap on his face hard, making him feel a little hot.
"Phew, take out the food we brought immediately and help the victims!"
The general beside him nodded hastily after hearing the order.
A group of soldiers behind him quickly cooked porridge.
When the refugees saw what was happening before them, they quickly fell to their knees.
He shouted excitedly to Chai Shao: "Living Bodhisattva, you are really a living Bodhisattva!"
"Dad, have you seen it? The imperial court has come to provide disaster relief!"
"We finally don't have to die!"
Seeing the refugees crying with joy in front of him, Chai Shao felt very uncomfortable.
The same was true for the soldiers around them. They all came from poor backgrounds, and now they were extremely moved when they saw the scene in front of them.
Chai Shao ordered the soldiers beside him: "Immediately alert the surroundings. If anyone dares to sabotage the relief work, he will be killed without mercy!"
As Chai Shao's voice fell, the surrounding soldiers quickly took out their sabers from their waists and looked around with gloomy expressions.
Chai Shao personally cooked porridge and delivered it to the victims.
Looking at the victims who were devouring their food, Chai Shao smiled bitterly.
Originally, he thought that the silver he brought was enough, but now it seems that it is just a drop in the bucket.
The disaster has reached this level in a place so close to Chang'an City? What about more remote places?
I'm afraid I don't have enough money to squeeze through my teeth.
Looking at the victims in front of him, Chai Shao hurriedly started writing.
Afterwards, he handed the letter in his hand to a scout and said: "Immediately pass this letter to your majesty, and say it is urgent at 800 miles!"
The scout looked at his general's serious look and nodded quickly.
Then after placing the letter close to his body, he jumped on his horse and drove away.
I don't know how much time passed, but in Chang'an City, a scout rode a war horse and rode forward quickly.
The riding crop in his hand whipped the horse crazily, and he yelled loudly.
"Eight hundred miles is urgent, everyone get out of the way!"
The people on both sides of the street quickly gave way, and the horses rushed all the way to the palace.
Li Shimin in the palace was discussing disaster relief matters with his advisers.
"Eight hundred miles urgent?"
Li Shimin turned to look at Wang De, then without caring about anything else, he hurriedly let the scouts into the palace.
The scout came to the palace hall covered in dust, and then fell to his knees with a thump.
"See Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from General Chai to you!"
