Chang'an City suddenly became chaotic. I don't know when, but the powerful people started to act openly. A few days ago, people from Princess Guantao's Palace arrested Wei Qing, who was working in Jianzhang Palace, and almost killed him. This incident
It soon spread in Chang'an City. There were many versions, from Princess Guantao's love for the guard named Wei Qing to Wei Qing being an escaped slave from Princess Pingyang's mansion. Various theories spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Ah Xun is also considered one of the powerful people in Chang'an. In just one year, he not only controlled five or six neighborhoods near Sushu Lane, but also owned more than a dozen various businesses. Although no one knows who is behind Ah Xun, but look at this
Everyone knows about the guy's strength and his backstage is definitely extraordinary. Even the most powerful powerful people don't dare to come to A Xun's territory to cause trouble.
However, things started to change three days ago. A group of people with unknown origins suddenly appeared in Zhuan Alley. These people blatantly collected money from various shops and started fighting if they didn't pay. In just three days, there were already ten people.
Several shops were smashed or attacked. As the always-protecting god, shopkeepers prayed to Ah Xun.
Patting his chubby belly, Ah Xun coaxed and coaxed the shopkeepers of several shops away. He sat down on a chair, lowered his head and sulked. The child lay on the crack of the door and looked in. When he saw no one, he left.
Come in.
"How's it going? Have you found it?" A Xun's tone was cold.
The boy shook his head: "Those people are very mysterious. After they collected the money, they went outside the city and disappeared on horseback. All the people I sent to follow them were lost, and not only us, but also Tongtou and Yajingfang on Qian Street.
The same thing happened to the horse-faced king, and they are also investigating. Now the whole of Chang'an is panicked, and many people dare not go out! The most annoying thing is that those people carelessly advertise that they are our subordinates.
Many people have started to oppose us."
"Idiot, you can't do this little thing well!"
The kid was a little aggrieved: "It's not that I couldn't do it well, but I really can't help it. All the neighbors were attacked by those people overnight! How about we go find the family and let them put pressure on Jing Zhaoyin, maybe it will be better."
!”
"Bullshit, you can think of it, but I can't think of it?"
"Ah! What did your superior say?"
Ah Xun didn't answer and kept silent angrily.
Guo Xie also encountered the same thing as A Xun. Several of the neighbors he was looking after were also squeezed in. However, Guo Xie was very powerful. When those people came for the second time, he immediately sent his disciples and disciples to surround him.
Despite the traffic jam, two guys were caught. After being hung up in the courtyard and beaten for a day, these two guys were convinced that they belonged to the black dog on the street.
Guo Xie was furious. In Guo Xie's eyes, Black Dog was just a gangster. If you gave this kid the courage, he wouldn't dare to cross the line. However, the two guys insisted that Guo Xie had Black Dog killed.
He called. As soon as he stepped into the door of Guo Jie's house, the black dog expressed his bitterness: "Okay, my brother Guo, I don't dare to touch your territory even if I have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard. Everyone is living in the princess's house, big and small.
I still know the superiority and inferiority."
"Those two guys said they were assigned by you, what else do you have to say?"
"False accusations, all false accusations! After so many years, Brother Guo still doesn't understand me. When will Black Dog dare to send people to your territory?" Black Dog felt that he was about to die unjustly. He also caught a person. Then
He was told that he was sent by Guo Xie. Who should he ask to explain this confusing account? Seeing that Guo Xie didn't say anything, the black dog said: "Brother, why don't we tell the princess about this matter? I have someone who can tell Jing Zhao
I don’t believe that Jing Zhao Yin dares to ignore Yin’s order?”
Guo Xie glared at the black dog: "How dare you trouble Your Highness with such nonsense? Do you not want to live anymore?"
"Then what should we do? We can't watch us receive less and less, right? Some people on my side have started to refuse to give. If this continues, I won't be able to open the door."
"Go away, whatever you want to say, go ahead! I won't get into trouble with this!"
After dismissing the black dog, Guo Xie returned to the backyard with a look of helplessness. Yao Shuai sat on a special chair and basked in the sun in the courtyard. Ever since he was injured, Yao Shuai loved to bask in the sun. Originally, Princess Liu Piao of Guantao was going to take Yao Shuai away.
Take it out and let the family members of the Imperial Forest Army vent their anger. Guo Jie spent a lot of effort, paying and finding people, and then rescued Yao Shuai from Liu's prostitute. From then on, Yao Shuai moved to
In Guo Xie's home, he became Guo Xie's retainer.
Yao Shuai opened his eyes, saw Guo Xie coming in, and said, "Brother Guo looks bad, but what trouble has he encountered?"
Guo Xie sighed: "To add insult to injury! How come everything suddenly went wrong!" He told Yao Shuai what had happened in Chang'an City.
Uncle Yao frowned as he listened: "Does Princess Guantao know about this?"
Guo Xie shook his head: "No one dares to say that, if such a trivial matter arouses His Highness's resentment, no one will be in trouble!"
"This is no small matter!" Yao Shuai exclaimed: "This must be planned by someone, ready to deal with you!"
"Against us? Why? Does your Majesty know about Wei Qing?"
"It goes without saying! Wei Qing's sister, Mrs. Wei, is favored now, and her brother almost died. Even if Mrs. Wei doesn't say anything, His Majesty will be furious!"
"But Her Highness the Princess did this. Does the Emperor want to touch Her? You haven't heard any news in the past few days?"
"Princess Tao Guantao may not arrive, but you may be in danger this time!"
Guo Xie smiled: "No, as long as Her Highness the Princess is fine, we will be absolutely fine. We are Her Highness's disciples, and we will obey Her Highness's orders in all our actions. If she doesn't fall, we will never fall!"
Uncle Yao sneered twice: "I'm confused, that's not what I said! Although the powerful and the powerful are interdependent, if the powerful arouses the resentment of the people and the matter goes to the emperor, the powerful and powerful will no longer protect you. This is a vicious move! Take advantage of it.
The people's resentment not only hit the powerful, but also suppressed the momentum of the powerful! I wonder who came up with the idea?"
Guo Xie was stunned: "Public opinion? People? Could it be...?"
Yao Shuai laughed miserably: "To save Wei Qing, many of his men died. This person is not easy to mess with!"
Guo Xie was shocked: "What should I do? I will go to His Highness right away and beg him to save me!"
Yao Shuai shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late!"
The blind man hadn't slept yet and hadn't turned on the light. He came to Chang'an secretly with Thirteenth Mother. This was also Su Ren's plan. He sat quietly in the room alone, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table. He
Waiting for news, the news was reported from various places. After receiving the order from Thirteenth Mother a few days ago, everyone began to hibernate. The blind man still didn't know what was going on. With the movements in Chang'an City in the past two days, the blind man finally understood.
He didn't like the night in Chang'an. It was so empty and he couldn't see anything. But tonight was okay. The moon in the sky was big, round and beautiful. Three long and two short knocks on the door sounded, and the blind man coughed. A cloth bag flew over and wiped the blind man.
My head fell into the house, and then the night returned to its calm state. I stood by the window, looked outside, and found no movement, so I closed the window.
The blind man knew what was in the bag, but he didn't look at it. He grabbed several other bags and put them into another big bag. He stretched out, went to bed and fell asleep holding the bag.
Liu Che listened to Jing Zhaoyin's report with great interest, feeling happy in his heart but with an angry look on his face. In just three days, Jing Zhaoyin received reports from more than a dozen shops or people that someone had smashed their homes and injured others.
Jing Zhaoyin also sent people to investigate and found that the perpetrators were all from Chang'an, or at least lived in Chang'an. Moreover, these people were inextricably linked to relatives of various royal families.
Ji An wiped the sweat from his head. Less than a year after he took over as Jing Zhaoyin, the city of Chang'an was in such chaos. Ji An didn't know how to explain it to Liu Che, so he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
, I have failed your Majesty’s trust and failed to govern Chang’an well. I am willing to resign!”
Liu Che nodded: "Well! You are really not suitable to be Jing Zhaoyin anymore. Prime Minister, to deal with the chaos in Chang'an, would you recommend someone?"
Xuchang stood up quickly: "His Majesty asked me suddenly. I have to think about it. Ji An is usually very hardworking. If he was negligent this time, he doesn't need to resign, right?"
"No, no, no! If you are wrong, you are wrong. Since Ji An does not have the ability to govern Chang'an, I will choose another talented person. The Prime Minister's Palace is full of talents. It should not be difficult to recommend Jing Zhaoyin!"
Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Xuchang had no choice but to agree. Liu Che changed the subject and said, "Master Yushi, think about it. If there is a suitable candidate, recommend one. In three days, more than a dozen households will complain. These people are so arrogant!"
Zhuang Qingzhai quickly stood up and agreed. Liu Che glared at Ji An and said, "Okay, please retreat first! Chang'an is the capital of the country, and you have made such a mess. When the prime minister and the imperial censor recommend a candidate, you can go back to your hometown directly.
Bar!"
Ji An didn't expect Liu Che to be so cruel. He kicked him out of the court with just one word. He was stunned for a long time without reacting. He looked at Liu Che stupidly and forgot to thank him. He regretted listening to Zhuang Qingzhai's words. Before the emperor
What's going on in front of everyone, the emperor's golden words. Ji An looked at Zhuang Qingzhai again. Zhuang Qingzhai just pretended not to see him, and took a few steps to catch up with Xuchang. The two of them didn't know what they were muttering. The officials behind him consciously stepped back a few steps.
Step forward, leaving space for the two big men. The two spoke very happily, not shying away from the eyes of the people around them, and left the palace with a smile.
Back at Yin Mansion in Jingzhao, Ji An was very disappointed. He was trying to retreat in order to make progress. He grabbed the teacups on the table and threw them to the ground. He sat down angrily. Wang Hui happened to come in. Seeing Ji An's appearance, he looked at Ji An again.
He looked at the fragments of the teacup on the ground and said, "It's such a pity that such good porcelain was broken like this!"
"Why don't you help me today, Your Majesty?"
Wang Hui smiled: "What? You still want to drag me into trouble? I told you not to listen to Zhuang Qingzhai, but you didn't listen and now you regret it?"
"What should we do now?"
Wang Hui sat across from Ji An, found another tea cup and put it in front of him, signaling Ji An to pour him some water. Since he quickly poured Wang Hui a cup, Wang Hui took a sip and shook his head: "No, drink it."
With so much water, the kind of tea I drank at Laojunguan when I went to Shu County that year is the best for me. Unfortunately, I can’t drink it now. How about you go to Su Ren’s place to ask for some tomorrow?” (To be completed.)
