"Black Ruins?"

Li Shimin also looked slightly happy: "Can you trace it?"

"The person in charge of the intermediary auction is one of my family's properties. It shouldn't be difficult to trace the roots of this person. ”

This is strictly a betrayal of customers, but Zhang Yurou didn't look embarrassed at all.

"I'll ask you first, and I'll give you an accurate answer tomorrow. ”

"Then I'll wait for good news, this matter, please Yurou you. ”

Li Shimin's own expression was a little entangled.

On the one hand, it was because he found that his dependence on Zhang Yurou was getting deeper and deeper, and on the other hand, it was because he was actually suspected of being a strong man this time. This is a very immoral practice in the rivers and lakes. Once this matter comes out, it will affect the reputation of Qinglong Villa,

And the more Zhang Yurou looked indifferent, the more he felt indebted.

It's just that since he came into contact with Zhang Yurou, he has owed this girl a lot, and there is no shortage of today's one.

"It would be great if the buyer could be traced. This blood-patterned golden crow should have just been tamed for a short time. ”

Yuan Tianhao continued: "Based on what Gongzi said, we can draw at least four pieces of information. First, this Goguryeo ambassador is conspiring with others to do something unfavorable to my Great Sui, otherwise he would not worry about alarming the embroidered guards; second, this person has business dealings with the owner of the blood-patterned golden crow, designing ink armor ordnance, and the amount is huge; third, the first plan prepared by the owner of the blood-patterned golden crow may implicate Gao Tianyi himself; fourth, this mysterious magic master also has ill intentions towards the Great Sui. I have limited wisdom, so I can only think of these at present, I think in the near future, it is best to find a wise strategist to carefully refer to it for you, and give advice. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he only shook his head: "Yuan Daoyou doesn't need to be too humble, my thoughts are similar to yours." In the absence of more detailed information, the same wisdom stops here. A month ago, I asked Yurou to help me find out the whereabouts of the ink armor seized in Goguryeo, but so far there has been no result. ”

"It's not that there is no result, but most of the people we commissioned to find out about this matter have never been heard from again, and their lives and deaths are unknown. ”

Zhang Yurou frowned: "Fortunately, I left some eyes in advance, but I just entrusted the local head snake in Liaodong to investigate this matter, and it has nothing to do with my Qinglong Villa, so this time I didn't show any flaws, and I scared the snake." Now I'm trying to figure out if I can send some of the leaner men to take over this—"

"No need!"

Li Shimin didn't wait for Zhang Yurou to finish speaking, he shook his head firmly: "This matter is over, there is no need to let the manpower of your villa take this risk,"

His original idea was that it would be best if he could use the power of Zhang Yurou's side to find out the whereabouts of the batch of Goguryeo's ink armor. But if he really can't find anything, then he doesn't force it, and there is no need to let the people of Qinglong Villa risk their lives for his affairs.

After all, these ink armors of Goguryeo, even his mother Dou's side has made no progress, how can he be demanding of such a force in the rivers and lakes as Qinglong Villa?

The key is that once Qinglong Villa is directly involved in this matter, the other party will easily think of his side.

After all, his current private salt business in Kansai has become larger and larger, and it is no secret that his family is doing business in partnership with that bearded customer.

"But—"

Zhang Yurou hesitated: "But I think that this high providence and the owner of the blood-patterned golden crow are really suspicious." Don't you really want to find out the whereabouts of those ink armors?"

"It's going to be checked, but I already have a suspicion,"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed slightly: "Changing the entry point can reduce the risk and be much easier." ”

"Who is it?"

Zhang Yurou asked curiously, "I also want to know, who has such a big appetite and can swallow so much ink armor?"

Even Yuan Tianhao, who was next to him, was quite interested and pricked up his ears.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably that Duke of Chu! As for the owner of this blood-patterned golden crow, he must be one of his worshipping guests. ”

As Li Shimin spoke, he stood up and walked to the window: "The next thing involves court disputes, so Yurou, you need to do what you can, and you don't need to be overly involved." I'll find a way to collect evidence of this person's guilt. ”

As Li Shimin opened the window, a strong chill suddenly rushed into the house.

Zhang Yurou didn't know whether it was because of this air current, or because of the chill in her mind, she unconsciously shivered.

The current Duke of Chu - is it Yang Xuangan?

"This Li Shimin, I thought he was a young hero, a rare good person in the Kansai General's Gate, but it turned out to be a despicable and shameless, two-faced and despicable bastard!"

In an inn located in the east of the city, Cheng Yanjin scolded while drinking water: "No, he doesn't even deserve people, bastard plus three levels!"

Luo Shixin was also drinking water, but the cold water poured into his stomach couldn't suppress the anger in his throat at all. He simply slammed the crockpot in his hand to the ground: "What's the use of scolding? If you want me to say, go directly to their Beppu and fight with him!"

But Cheng bit the gold, but squinted over: "What are you doing with it? Believe it or not? Just this crockpot, the owner of this inn has the courage to let you pay ten taels of silver." ”

Luo Shixin's breath suddenly choked, and then he scolded: "At this time, you still tell me about money? If you really wait until ten days later, we don't go back to see Lord Tongshou, just hang yourself here and wipe your neck!"

Qin Qiong frowned and sat on the seat on the other side.

He understood why his two fellow brothers were so angry.

On this day, they ran to several yamen, and asked for help, but they all ran into walls everywhere.

As soon as the others heard that it was the batch of grain and ordnance that was originally scheduled to be sent to Qi County, and that it was related to the martial arts Li clan, they all shook their heads off and avoided them. The military department bit it to death, saying that these grains and ordnance were used for other purposes, and they refused to let go of their breath.

Even now, they haven't been able to meet with the soldier in charge of this matter.

At this time, not to mention that Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed by Luo Shixin, even if he Qin Qiong was not only discouraged,

"Hey, you also know that you don't have the face to meet Tsumori-sama. ”

Cheng Yanjin sneered: "Do you still go to that guy's Beppu to work hard? Is this to deliver dumplings to the door? I guess the three of us won't even see his face, and we will be thrown into prison in the county office." That guy, if he really wants to trouble us one by one and seek revenge, he will have no excuse. ”

He already regretted it, why was he so cheap about the provocative words he said to Luo Shixin on the royal road that day?

"There should be a way!"

Qin Qiong let out a long breath of turbidity, barely cheering up: "Today, everyone will go back to their rooms to rest well, and after they have recuperated enough, they will follow me tomorrow to meet a few of my father's and ancestors' old colleagues." I think there must be room for maneuver in this matter,"

In fact, his family can also be a generation of eunuchs, his grandfather Qin Fangtai is the secretary of the palace of Qi Guangning, and his father Qin Ai is the king of Xianyang in the Northern Qi Dynasty who joined the army.

At this time, although the Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, there were still ministers and generals who were not in the Northern Qi Dynasty to serve the Sui Dynasty. So he is in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and he is not without a little way.

It's just that he doesn't have much hope for this in his heart. And Cheng Yanjin and Luo Shixin still looked depressed when they heard this.

At this moment, outside the courtyard where they were, there was a burst of laughter: "I wonder if the three brothers have fallen asleep? ”

The voice was slightly sharp, and the knock on the door was extremely loud and booming. After hearing this, the three people in the room also showed surprise and disgust.

Qin Qiong didn't want to pay attention to it, but at this time it was already the second watch, and he couldn't let this person continue to knock and disturb the neighbors, so he could only helplessly give Luo Shixin a look, and the latter hesitated for a while, but walked to the door and took the latch. And the man outside immediately pushed the door unceremoniously and entered.

It was a man in his forties, dressed in the uniform of a Forbidden Cadet Cadet. His face was emaciated, his face was yellow, and he was smiling at this time.

"Three brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time, but are you okay?"

Cheng Yanjin saw this person, but he didn't have a good face: "Han Jiu, what are you doing here?"

The person in front of him, surnamed Han Mingzhang, is indeed their old man. The previous one, who was with them and served under the command of Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, was their top boss.

However, in the battle of Licheng a few years ago, Han Zhang was afraid of the enemy like a tiger and led his troops to patrol backwards, causing Zhang Xutuo and several of them to have to resist tens of thousands of thieves with only six cavalry.

After the war, Zhang Xutuo was ready to ask this person for his guilt, but Han Zhang was used to drilling camps, and he didn't know which big man in the court had passed, not only successfully escaped from Qi County, but also was transferred to Luoyang because of the thief's 'merit' and served as a captain of the forbidden army.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the army of Qi County is disgusted with this person.

When Han Zhang heard this, he didn't feel angry at all, he walked to a chair and sat down as if he was in his own home, and said casually: "Three brothers, you don't welcome me like this? This time I came all night, I was thinking about solving problems for my former brothers, but as soon as I came to the door, I was poured cold water on you, which is really desolate and sad. ”

When Luo Shixin heard this, he immediately sneered: "Then you continue to be sad, what problems can we have that you need to solve?"

"Didn't you?"

Han Zhang laughed: "The three of you have been working hard in Beijing for the past few days, but I have heard of it, it is said that they offended Li Erlang, the prince of the Tang Kingdom, and the batch of materials that affected your Qi County was intercepted by the Ministry of War?"
