"Going back to Your Highness, during the day yesterday, there were three groups of people investigating us. One of them went too far and even wanted to take some samples back, so we confronted them. The other party's
People also come with bad intentions, but they didn't get much benefit. I killed one of the two people, but I was also injured."
Niu Yi said honestly.
Three groups of people?
Li Xiang smiled bitterly. It seemed that good things are always remembered by people. He had just made money with liquor, and these people had already started to make plans.
But it is normal to say that a transaction of seven hundred guan a day is enough to arouse the jealousy of people from all walks of life. If no one comes to make up their mind, then it is fake.
"Have you found out who they are?"
Don't be afraid if someone comes to inquire, but you must find out their details. Once we find out their details, we will know how to deal with it.
"A group came from above. They didn't stay too much and didn't conflict with us. But after we followed them to the Imperial City, we had no way to follow them."
Niu Yi pointed to the top of his head when he spoke. They only knew that these people came from the imperial palace, but they were not sure whether they were Li Shimin's people. There were several groups of people in the imperial palace who could send troops, and they were not necessarily the same ones.
Sent by Li Shimin.
"The second group was from Hou Junji, and they did not conflict with us. After being discovered, they ran away with all their strength. The third group ran to Changlefang. We don't know who they are."
The execution ability of Niu Yi and others is not mentioned, but they don't know much about Chang'an City. If they go to a well-known place, they will certainly know whose subordinates these people come from, but Changlefang is an area of Chang'an City.
It was such a mixed bag that it was impossible to find out who it was.
"Go and find Qian Ping."
Li Xiang said while eating that he didn't know what this place was for, but there was one person in the East Palace who would definitely know, and that was Qian Ping, the eunuch chief.
"His Highness, the biggest force in Changlefang is Fuyun Restaurant, the property of the Cui family in Qinghe."
Qian Ping had never been to the scene, so he naturally didn't know who these people were, but he did know some of the situation in Changlefang, where the Cui family of Qinghe took the majority, and the other five surnames and Qiwang assisted.
This is the group of people we are fighting against. No wonder they want to take samples. They are also big wine makers in Chang'an City, even more powerful than the Changsun family. Are they already planning to take action?
"Can you have some fun at Changlefang?"
When Li Xiang said this, the others didn't change their expressions. Someone is causing trouble for us. It's normal for us to have fun with him. But Qian Ping's expression changed drastically. Wu Xing Qi Wang is different from other people. Can you ask Hou
Jun Ji and Li Yuanchang are in trouble, but try not to provoke these people. Even the emperor will not provoke them.
"Your Highness, the five surnames and the Seven Hopes are intertwined. Among the middle and lower classes of the Tang Dynasty, they occupied great power, especially the middle-level officials of the imperial court. It has almost reached an astonishing degree. If we had no plan, I am afraid that we would be completely defeated by that time.
No show."
Qian Ping is the chief eunuch of the East Palace and is considered the number one figure in Chang'an City. However, when this person talks about the Five Surnames and Qi Wang, he also has a look of awe on his face. One can imagine how powerful these people are in Chang'an City.
Already.
"That's my business. Just tell me if you can find some clues about them."
Li Xiang continued to eat breakfast, not paying attention to these people at all. With our current strength, even if we rebel in Chang'an City, we can still make some noise, not to mention these big families, as long as I have
If you have enough status, I will kill you.
"There are plenty of clues. The major families of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes have been extremely arrogant in recent years. The main reason is that the imperial court does not dare to interfere with their affairs. Some small matters will be passed directly. Therefore, they have been raised to be extremely arrogant, but His Highness wants to find them.
If you are in trouble, you have to have an entry point, otherwise the name will not be justified."
Qian Ping thought for a while and said, even if he is in trouble, it has nothing to do with the matters under His Highness's jurisdiction. If His Highness insists on getting involved, then the Fifth Surname Qiwang may regard His Highness as an enemy. Speaking of our current enemies,
There are already quite a few.
Li Xiang nodded and said that Qian Ping was right. Even if he is looking for trouble, there must be an upright reason. After all, everyone has checked and balanced each other within the rules in recent years, and Li Xiang cannot break this.
rule.
"Does the Cui family have anything to do with me in Liaodong?"
Li Xiang's current official position is deputy chief seal of Liaodong Division, so he can only make a fuss about it.
Hearing this, Qian Ping smiled bitterly. If the Five Surnames and Qiwang were doing business, they would be concentrated in the two capitals and the Jiangnan area. These are the most profitable places. People would even look at the Liaodong area that His Highness is in charge of.
If not, it doesn't matter at all.
"Report to Your Highness that the eldest son of Wu Guogong, Yuchi Baolin, is visiting."
Li Xiang was thinking hard about how to find trouble when he heard that his subordinates were coming to report the arrival of Yuchi Jingde's eldest son.
When Li Xiang first heard this name, he didn't feel that there was anything worthy of attention, but suddenly he remembered that this man was no ordinary young master, but a famous general among the second generation of the Tang Dynasty. He was not inferior to him in martial arts.
Father Yuchi Jingde.
Could it be that you are here to ask for a drink?
Li Xiang thought of what happened in the main hall a few days ago. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde went to ask for wine, which was a precedent. Although they both filled a part of the wine, according to the amount of wine in the two barrels,
It's probably all drunk by now.
"Please come in, Sir."
Just after Li Xiang finished speaking, two people came in from outside. One was naturally Yuchi Baolin, and the other turned out to be Changsun Chong.
"Why did you follow me in? We are related. I am his cousin, his father is my cousin, his grandmother is my aunt, and my father is his uncle. You go and wait outside the door.
"
Li Xiang hasn't figured out what's going on yet? Changsun Chong's relationship has been blurted out, and Li Xiang is wondering what's going on? When I went to your house a few days ago, you didn't mention our relationship.
So kind.
"After seeing His Highness, Baolin is unreasonable."
When Yuchi Baolin heard Changsun Chong say this, he blushed for a rare moment, but he had no intention of quitting. It seemed that something was really going on.
"Uncles, please sit down. I wonder if you two are coming to my place?"
Li Xiang didn't mind Yuchi Baolin's unreasonable things. After all, few of the heroes in the early years of Zhenguan were polite. He was just wondering what you two were here for?
