When Li Shimin returned to the city, he escorted all the prisoners to Nantai Imperial Prison.

After that, he once again assigned tasks to Shang Xueyang, Xiao Shoudao and others under his command, preparing to make persistent efforts to continue to capture those black market merchant ships along the Luo River.

But this time, even Fan Shixing couldn't understand it, and while no one was paying attention, he took the initiative to come to Li Shimin's ear and whispered: "Childe, I'm afraid this is not very good, okay? And at this time, it is already in a state of startling snakes, how can the black market firms be unprepared?"

Although he was loyal to Li Shimin, but at this moment, he still had a little apprehension, in fact, Fan Shixing felt that Li Shimin's attack on the three commercial houses of Tiger Warehouse was already very out of line, if he continued, it would simply offend the Manchu magnates to death.

Li Shimin smiled dumbly, and turned to look at a majestic man next to his left: "Seventh brother, what do you think?"

The place where his gaze was looking was Li Xiaogong. The forbidden army sent by Li Shimin to search the Tianjiu Commercial Bank and the Guangluocang cargo ship was provided by Li Xiaogong. So this time, Li Shimin's cousin was also able to attend here.

At this time, Li Xiaogong's face was also full of appreciation: "I originally thought that your talent was only on the battlefield. But now it seems that even in the court, you can let you dominate. Erlang, your methods this time are extremely clever, and after this time, this Manchu magnate is estimated to owe you a lot of favors. ”

Fan Shixing listened to it, not only confused. Li Shimin's attack on the black market is obviously a move to offend the powerful of various families, why is it in the mouth of Li Xiaogong, who still has to accept the favor of the head of his family?

But he thought that since even Li Xiaogong had no objection to Li Shimin's measures, then there must be some joints in it, which he couldn't think of.

And at this time, it was not just Fan Shixing, but also the Sikong to ward off evil spirits, Luo Li, Shang Xueyang, Xiao Shoudao, Shi Luoshasa and others, who were also confused.

Among the people present, only Shi Benwu and Yuan Tianhao had something to gain, and their faces were different.

"The details of the situation, you will naturally be able to understand it in the future, and I will not explain it here for the time being. ”

Li Shimin's gaze once again swept at everyone as sharp as an eagle: "In short, you are acting according to orders, if you really can't catch people and can't get the boat, Ben will not blame you and others, understand?"

Led by Luo Li and Sikong Evil Spirit, they immediately hugged their fists and bowed down, and each took his own order.

And just when these people left one after another, and only two brothers were left in the hall, Li Xiaogong frowned slightly, and said with a calm face: "Vilusha, don't you think that your uncle's behavior is very strange recently?"

He came here this time, mainly for this matter, and wanted to ask Li Shimin for an answer. Participating in this internal secret discussion of Li Shimin's embroidered clothes guard just happened to bump into him.

In fact, Tang Guogong and his friends cannot be said to be suspicious. Their daily behavior is nothing more than normal. Li Yuan was busy handing over the affairs of Weiwei Temple with Yun Dingxing, while the rest of the people were also busy with their own affairs.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Xiaogong is puzzled.

According to his earlier prediction, the martial arts Li clan at this time should have taken advantage of this opportunity to play stamps everywhere.

After all, when he was in the Imperial Garden before, Li Yuan swore in front of him that he would avenge Li Xuanba.

And Li Xiaogong could guess even if he only guessed with his heels, he could guess that the death of his cousin should be related to the Duke of Chu. Moreover, his uncle most likely caught the flaws and sore feet of the Chu State Mansion, and had the certainty of completely knocking Yang Xuangan down.

But until now, their martial arts Li clan is still in a state of immobility, as if nothing has happened.

When Li Shimin heard this, he sighed: "Seventh brother doesn't need to say it so vaguely, I think my father, most of him has the idea of dying down, so there has been no movement so far." ”

Li Xiaogong couldn't help frowning: "But what is the reason for this? With all due respect, it is really unconvincing to act like his uncle, it's just, it's just—"

"It's just indecisive, the first rat at both ends, right?"

Li Shimin didn't care about it, and said with a wry smile: "But I guess the reason why my father chose to endure this time was mostly because he couldn't complain about him, but in fact, it was mostly my mother's side." ”

"You mean uncle, but what's the reason for that?"

Li Xiaogong looked puzzled: "But someone from the Dou family said Xiang?"

Logically speaking, this is not an incomprehensible thing, you need to know that the Dou and Yang families are also in-laws.

However, as far as he knew, Mrs. Tang Guo had a strong temperament and had always loved Li Xuanba, so how could she easily forgive the enemy who murdered her son.

And he could see that although Li Shimin had no different color on his face and his tone was very calm, there was still a bit of resentment in the depths of his eyes.

"It has nothing to do with the Dou family. ”

Li Shimin shook his head and replied with a slightly hesitant expression: "If you have to say something, it should be a relationship of mutual coercion." Although the Duke of Chu is suspected of rebellion, our martial arts Li clan is also not very clean, and there is a risk of being bitten back. ”

"How so?"

Li Xiaogong was stunned, and then remembered some rumors about Mrs. Tang Guo before. He immediately closed his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words.

"But what should we do next? Xuanba's hatred, can't it just be settled?"

"Of course there's no way we'll just give up!"

Li Shimin's eyes once again appeared with a deep murderous intention, but then he said helplessly: "At most, it's only two months! The story of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan can still be used here. ”

Although they have now caught some evidence of the crimes of the Chu State Mansion, it is difficult to ensure that the Son of Heaven will definitely kill the Yang branch of the Chu State Mansion.

After all, there is a love left by Yang Su, as long as Yang Xuan's induction is right, it is still possible for the Son of Heaven to open up to the Duke of Chu.

Although Li Shimin has not had much contact with His Majesty, he can deduce some of His Majesty's temperament just from his words and deeds in recent years.

Although the Son of Heaven is ruthless, ruthless, suspicious and suspicious on weekdays, at some moments, he is not stingy to show his lenient side to those heroes who no longer pose a threat to the imperial power.

He guessed that even if the Duke of Chu was finally convicted, the most likely result would only be to take the title and exile, and Yang Xuangan would still be able to go unpunished.

Therefore, if they want to completely defeat the Duke of Chu, this time may not be the best time. It is better to indulge a little over there, and deal a fatal blow when the Duke of Chu is against him and exceeds Yang Guang's tolerance limit.

And in the next two months, it was enough for him to sweep away the tails left by his mother. For example, the significance of today's son awarding him the position of embroidery general is not only to facilitate his revenge.

"Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?"

Li Xiaogong said thoughtfully: "I probably understand what you mean, but the nineteenth brother, you should know that once the Duke of Chu raises the anti-flag, the area around Guanzhong in Henan will definitely be ruined." ”

"Of course I do!"

Li Shimin let out a long breath of turbidity, and his voice was firm: "Seventh brother, don't worry, I will not let the situation come to this point!"

He then looked down and pointed his finger at an account book beside him: "The Duke of Chu State is putting it aside first, our top priority is still in this Demon Dragon Eight Division! I think I have finally touched some of their tails now." ”

In his mind, Yang Xuangan and Li Mi can only be regarded as accomplices at most. The real mastermind should be the so-called 'Emperor Shakti' of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon. Now Li Xuanba's heart and heart must be in his hands.

So he's going to pull this man out and eat his flesh raw!

On the night of December 17 in the eighth year of the Great Cause, large snowflakes had begun to float in Luoyang City. In less than an hour, the entire city was dyed white inside and out.

However, at this time, from the nobles of the court, princes and ministers, to the literati and scholars, and the grass people in the city, they did not have the heart to enjoy this magnificent snowy scene covered in silver. Almost everyone's eyes were firmly attracted by the groups of embroidered guards and soldiers of the forbidden army who walked through the streets and alleys.

It's just because there is a strange thing in Luoyang City today. Someone actually had the audacity to attack those big commercial houses in the Luoyang black market.

In the mouth of the people, the new embroidered general, the Li family, the Crouching Tiger, the initial target was Tiger Cang, Tianjiu Commercial Bank and Guangluo Cang, the three black market merchants with deep backgrounds, not only copied the cargo ships of these three companies, but also put all the shopkeepers and accounts of these commercial houses into the Nantai Imperial Prison. After that, he didn't stop there, and turned his attention to Luosheng Bank, Songshan Commercial Bank, Shajia Boat Company, and so on.

It is said that these black market businessmen have such a lesson as Tiger Warehouse, and they should be more careful to take precautions.

What is puzzling is that the embroidered clothes guard under the Li family's Crouching Tiger is actually copied one by one, and he has never missed it, and he has always been stolen and found, and a large number of prohibited materials have been searched.

Then there was even more surprising that the embroidered guards searched the black market all over the city, those who had the identity of the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper. None of them escaped, they all stayed at home obediently, and let the embroidered guards arrest them, which was unbelievably honest.

There are also those powerful figures in the court, many of whom are waiting for the many clans and princes to enter the palace to see them, ready to see the good show of the new embroidered general.

But the result is also unexpected, these characters have not moved at all, or even at all, as if they are completely ignorant of their own industry and financial resources, as if they have suffered a change.

This abnormal situation also made the whole city amazed and paid more attention to this incident.

And among these people, there are also a few who have secret discussions in the study of the Tang Guogong Mansion at night.
