Li Chengdao finally decided to take action against the businessmen, especially the Long Gang.
Originally, Tianxia Business was divided between Tianxiahui and Long Gang. Later, Tianxiahui was eliminated by Long Chen, leaving only Long Gang as the sole dominant one.
This is especially true in Daliang, where the Dragon Gang occupies many industries.
Now let's start with the Dragon Gang.
But the minister is worried that the Dragon Gang is too powerful. Would it be inappropriate to attack the Dragon Gang?
Li Chengdao said coldly: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Duan Juncai, the Minister of Household Affairs, was silent.
At this time, other than confiscating the Dragon Gang, I can't think of any better way.
"You have mobilized so many soldiers and horses, are they all just for decoration?"
"Back then, Long Chen only used tens of thousands of troops to kill the Tianxiahui."
"You have 2 million troops now, how can you still handle a Dragon Gang?"
Li Chengdao's tone was cold and his face was expressionless.
He was now like a pool of frozen water, unable to see anything but darkness and gloominess.
Duan Juncai, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked at Yu Ziming, and Yu Ziming immediately said: "What the emperor said is true, and the ministers immediately mobilized troops and horses to wipe out the Long Gang."
After talking about the matter of money, food and generals, Li Chengdao turned around and left the imperial study, returning to the East Palace.
Yu Ziming and Duan Juncai also left the palace in a hurry, they didn't want to stay here any longer.
Neither Ghost Fetus nor Li Chengdao are good things.
When Li Chengdao walked back to the East Palace, Xuan Jizi had already left.
Zhong Gui asked people to clean up all the blood on the ground.
Li Chengdao sat down cross-legged and opened a book. There were four words written on it: The Secret Method of the Long Family.
After fighting with Long Chen, Li Chengdao was shocked.
The ghost fetus is the offspring of a martial saint and a ghost girl, and is a heterogeneous species. Li Chengdao does not expect himself to be like the ghost fetus because his natural constitution is different.
Long Chen was not like that. He was also a mortal body. Li Chengdao watched Long Chen's birth and watched Long Chen grow up.
For Li Chengdao, ghost fetuses were out of reach, but Long Chen was a real mortal.
Long Chen was able to break through the true realm by relying on the Yin spirit and the Long family's skills.
Li Chengdao can also break through to the true state by relying on the ghost fetus and the Long Family Kung Fu.
The Long family's exercises were not found in the Long family's old residence in Jinling City, so Li Chengdao asked Zhong Gui to secretly search for them in the old capital.
The old capital was in Xiangjun, which was abandoned 300 years ago.
Hard work paid off, and Li Chengdao discovered a volume of secrets left by Long Yuan.
Although this secret book was incomplete, Li Chengdao was still very happy.
There are rumors that Long Yuan's cultivation actually surpasses that of Wu Sheng, and that the Long family's skills surpass those of Wu Sheng.
That's why Long Yuan was able to gather his generals to fight back and defeat the ghost clan.
After reading it from beginning to end again, Li Chengdao continued to meditate and practice.
Outside the palace.
Yu Ziming, Minister of the Ministry of War, found Yan Xi and told the story. Yan Xi hesitated and asked, "Does the Holy Son know?"
Yu Ziming wanted to eliminate the Long Gang, which was not a small matter and had to be approved by Gui Tai. Yan Xi did not dare to act without permission.
Yu Ziming did not dare to talk nonsense and said: "No, it is just the emperor's suggestion and we think it is feasible."
Yan Xi looked displeased and said, "How can such a big event be based on just one word from the emperor?"
In Jinling City now, major events must be approved by Guitai, and Li Chengdao's words are of no use.
There were a lot of soldiers and horses to be mobilized to pacify the Dragon Gang, and it would definitely not work if Li Chengdao agreed.
Yu Ziming nodded slightly and said, "Then please ask the Holy Son for instructions?"
Yan Xi said: "Well, you go ahead, I'll wait for your news."
Yu Ziming was stunned for a moment and said: "The Forbidden Army is commanded by General Yan. Naturally, General Yan will report. I will wait for news here."
Yan Xi said displeased: "The matter was raised by Yu Shangshu, why should I report it?"
Both of them refused to see the ghost fetus.
The ghost was eccentric and moody, and when he reported it to the ministers, he was sometimes killed for no apparent reason.
No need for any reason at all.
Killing is sometimes just for fun.
No one wants to see such a person.
The two were in a stalemate, with no one willing to enter the palace, and the imperial army did not take action.
Fire Phoenix Hall.
Lin Menghan is settling accounts in the backyard.
The winter in Jinling City is very cold. Lin Menghan was wearing thick mink velvet. There were several stoves in the house and the windows were half-closed for ventilation.
After the fall of the Tianxiahui, the Dragon Gang's business was very prosperous.
However, after the ghost fetus entered, Ji Xianxian sent a secret message asking Lin Menghan to be careful and be ready to evacuate Nanliang at any time.
A middle-aged woman hurriedly walked in. This person was Liu Yusi, the female shopkeeper of Honggui Inn.
"You guys get out."
Liu Yusi entered the door and immediately kicked the others out.
After closing the door, Lin Menghan asked: "What happened?"
Liu Yusi said: "There is news from the palace that they are going to take action against us."
Lin Menghan's expression condensed and she asked: "Is the news accurate?"
Liu Yusi said: "It's absolutely no problem. The Forbidden Army and the Ministry of War are still in a stalemate, and they deliberately won't stalemate for too long."
Lin Menghan asked: "Stalemate? What does it mean?"
Liu Yusi said: "This matter requires Gui Fei's permission. No one wants to see Gui Fei, so there is a stalemate."
Lin Menghan immediately said: "Initiate the emergency plan immediately. All halls and personnel will be disbanded on the spot. Those in the north will go north, those in the south will go south, and those in the east will enter the Eastern Zhou Dynasty by sea."
"You and I will go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty immediately and collect all the ledgers."
Lin Menghan acted decisively and immediately ordered a retreat.
Liu Yusi immediately sent an order and the core members of the Dragon Gang evacuated immediately.
The important industries and money have been transported away long ago, and all that remains are houses and goods that cannot be moved away.
When encountering such a major event, losses are inevitable, and Lin Menghan cannot care so much.
Lin Menghan left Jinling City quickly, and the boat was ready. After crossing the river, we reached the boundary of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Yan Xi and Yu Ziming were in a stalemate, and Duan Juncai, the Minister of Household Affairs, came over to ask about the situation.
"If you don't go, is it going to be a stalemate?"
Duan Juncai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was a little dissatisfied. Yan Xi sarcastically said: "Duan Shangshu is worried about state affairs, why don't you go?"
Duan Juncai didn't say anything because he didn't want to see the ghost fetus.
After a long time, the Minister of Household Affairs hurried over and said: "Sir, the Long Gang people have left and the building is empty."
Duan Juncai stood up and lamented: "Oh, it's all you who delayed the opportunity."
Yu Ziming was unhappy and said angrily: "Why do we delay the opportunity? Why don't you go?"
Yan Xiye said angrily: "You brought up the matter, and it is also your responsibility to delay the opportunity!"
The three of them thought it over and finally decided to ask Xuan Jizi for help.
Entering the Taoist temple, I smelled the scent of rouge, and hundreds of women in colorful clothes were posing inside.
After revealing his identity, Xuanjizi had sex day and night, unscrupulously, and his outlook was comparable to that of a brothel.
"Where is the Taoist Priest?"
Yu Ziming asked, and the woman in the temple laughed and said: "Taoist? There is no Taoist here, only Huajun."
Huajun is the nickname Xuanjizi gave himself, and these women all call him that.
"We have an emergency! Say it quickly!"
Yan Xi was impatient and drew his sword and shouted angrily. The woman was so frightened that she screamed and hurriedly pointed: "In the room inside."
Yan Xi broke a path and rushed into the room in the backyard. Xuanjizi was lying on the bed, and several women wearing only bellybands were applying medicine to him.
"Taoist Priest, how did you become like this?"
Xuanjizi's chest was black and blue, the skin on his back was torn, and there was a bloody hole in his thigh. He looked very scary.
