Chapter 421: Thriller
After meeting Tang Jian and Zhang Beidou and his party, Li Shimin went directly out of the Tang State Mansion and went directly to Dongshi.
This time, he walked side by side with Wei Tailai, and the others were all standing far away, keeping a distance not far away. It can not only protect Li Shimin's safety, but also not too close, leaving room for the two of them to talk secretly.
However, the head of Mr. Wei, as Zhang Yurou said, was a resentful face and dared not speak out.
Li Shimin laughed suddenly: "Mr. Wei, who do you want to show your appearance? This is a great sin. Now that I will erase this case for you, don't you know that you are satisfied? Besides, I let you stay in Jiuquan Villa, and it is not that I did not give you money, and the general's offer did not make you suffer."
"That's not what I said!"
Wei Tailai frowned: "These eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, a Divine Sword Hall, an Iron Dragon Society, a Heluo Sword Sect, and more than 50 dart bureaus, large and small, are all in the business of escorting caravans. How do we know if the origin of those goods is unknown? The Kaifu Lord is bullying people by using this matter! In addition, the silver money given by the Kaifu Lord is certainly sufficient. But after this business is done, you call us Shenwei Dart Bureau, how to gain a foothold in Kansai, and how to do the dart business?"
Li Shimin snorted coldly, and casually threw a few account books in front of Wei Tailai.
"There is a good saying, if you want people not to know, you can't do it unless you do. If it was just a normal dart, you wouldn't have found you. But since the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, your dart bureau has escorted 247 private caravans, but all of them have participated in it. ”
Wei Tailai carefully took the account books, but he didn't mean to look through them, he knew that they were all true. Li Shimin raided the Luoyang black market before, and then took the Chang'an Dark City.
Therefore, in Li Shimin's hands, there will never be a shortage of black material for their Shenwei Dart Bureau.
Therefore, he still spoke generously: "Lord Kaifu! And now the world is difficult, and there are groups of bandits in the area from Longxi to Xiaye. If we don't join in the caravan, firstly, the employer will not be at ease, and secondly, we will feed the population of so many martial artists in the dart bureau. This is a common practice in the Kansai area, and it's not just our Kamui Dart Bureau. ”
"That's right, it's just-"
Li Shimin leaned back slightly on the horse, and his eyes became meaningful: "What if you are a powerful dart game, and you still have something to do with the former imperial historian Zhang Heng?"
When he said these last few words, Wei Tailai's face suddenly turned pale. He immediately changed his attitude, and hurriedly dismounted, knelt down in front of Li Shimin's horse, and looked respectful: "It's Wei who has overstepped, and Lord Kaifu just sends me to wait." I only ask Kaifu to have mercy on me and wait for the people in the dart bureau to live a difficult life, so leave some leeway. ”
While he was shocked in his heart, he also felt puzzled.
Shenwei Dart Bureau and Zhang Heng do have some connections. In this Kansai area, as long as there is a dart game of a little scale, it is inextricably linked with the princes and ministers in the court.
They also have their own background, and they have also intended to get closer to Zhang Heng in the past. But Wei Tai thought that this matter was extremely secret, and it was difficult for others to know? Could it be a clue obtained from the inside of the embroidered guard?
- Thinking of this possibility, Wei Tailai felt terrified.
Li Shimin probably knew what he thought about this, but he had no intention of relieving his doubts about this person.
The reason why he was able to get the handle of the Shenwei Dart Game was actually from the Chang'an Dark City. There are not enough account books on the Luoyang black market, but with the addition of Chang'an, it is enough for the clever bookkeeper to detect the abnormality, and even peel off the cocoon from the thread, the chain of evidence. And at this time, there are many such characters in his hands.
As he said, if you don't know anyone, you can't do it unless you do.
From the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign to the fourth year of the Great Cause, several private businessmen who worked closely with the Shenwei Dart Bureau were inextricably linked to Zhang Heng and the Hanoi Zhang family.
If you want to say that there is no more mysterious connection between Shenwei Dart Bureau and Zhang Heng, Li Shimin will never believe it.
Originally, Li Shimin planned to use the business provided by Weiwei Temple and Daxing Xingtai to calm the grievances of the Shenwei Dart Bureau. But with this handle, it will naturally save a lot of trouble.
There is nothing unseemly about the reason for this, but Li Shimin really doesn't want to explain nonsense with this Wei Tailai.
"Where does Ben have the idea of ignoring your life or death?"
Seeing that Wei Tailai was soft, Li Shimin personally helped him up with a smile: "Don't worry, the current situation is either the complete destruction of the Jincheng Xue clan, or Xue Ju takes the initiative to sue for peace with the general." If there really is such a day, Ben will guarantee that your Shenwei Dart Game will definitely be in the content of the peace discussion. But before that, I have to trouble Mr. Wei to do some little things for me. ”
Wei Tailai secretly smiled bitterly, when Li Shimin asked someone to send a message and coerced them to garrison Jiuquan Villa, he also said the same. Just ask them to do a small thing, and everything they have done before that has violated the law and discipline can be written off.
I don't know what kind of harsh conditions Li Shimin will put forward this time. He noticed that what Li Shimin just said was not one, but some-
※ ※ ※ ※
In front of Wei Tailai, Li Shimin was able to show his commanding and aggressive momentum, and pinched this famous Kansai to the point that he didn't dare to straighten his waist in front of him.
But in the face of Bai Yusao, he had to lower his posture and almost compromise on everything.
This Kansai tycoon, although he did not mean to refuse, hung Li Shimin outside the door for a full half a moment, tilted Zhang Yu's delicate body upside down, and his little face turned white, and Tang Jian, Zhang Beidou and others who accompanied him, all had blue faces and murderous intent in their eyes.
Even if you are a Jingzhao Juncheng and already have a deep hatred with Li Shimin, Gu Yi does not dare to treat the former like this.
And after the meeting, Bai Yusa sat on the main seat with a golden sword, without any intention of getting up to greet him.
He was about forty years old, with a large face, a beard like steel needles, and a huge wine bowl in his hand. Around him, many of Bai Yushao's subordinates all looked Li Shimin up and down with a sneering look, their eyes full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Bai Yusa didn't look at Li Shimin until the latter approached, and then burst out laughing: "You are that Li Shimin and Li Erlang, right?" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had a business to discuss just now, and I delayed some time, so please forgive Erlang." You bastards, why don't you get up and give up your spot?
Li Shimin's expression was cold, and he didn't mean to sit down: "Since the big boss Bai doesn't like this evil guest, why do you need to be reluctant to make it difficult and be polite with this general? This general will go straight to the point and say, I am waiting here for Qinghai's business." I heard that Bai Da is in charge, and he intends to swallow all my business with Qinglong Villa in Tubo?"
"We have plans to do business with Nangri Ronzan!"
Bai Yusao smiled. Leaning back, he stared at Li Shimin: "What's the matter? You Li Shimin can't transport salt from Qinghai anymore, and you can still stop others from transporting it?"
Li Shimin was not annoyed or angry when he heard this, but sighed: "Naturally, we will not let it! The big boss Bai should know how many people we have died for this trade road, and what we have paid?"
"What does that have to do with the Sprinkle family? Now, you can't transport salt out, nor can you provide tea and iron to Tubo, so you naturally have to find someone else. ”
Bai Yuwan opened her lips, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and then changed her voice: "Three million guan, this is for the sake of the martial arts Li clan and your face as an embroidered general." After taking this money, he asked Lord Kaifu and Qinglong Villa to respect Qinghai and stay away. ”
Li Shimin didn't answer again, and after arching his hand towards Bai Yu, he turned around and left.
His posture made Bai Yusa stunned for a while, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Five million guan, I'll give you this amount at most! The Sprinkle family paid this money, which can be regarded as buying out this business route. ”
Li Shimin didn't bother to pay attention to it, and strode down the stairs directly.
And when everyone came out of this 'Qirui Inn', Tang Jian laughed: "It's rude." It's really not bad to say that this person is rampant, this is too much to give him face. ”
"As I said, there's no need to humiliate yourself, you shouldn't have come at all!"
Zhang Yurou also said angrily: "You want to suffer this humiliation! According to my wishes, you should have cut it with a knife at that time." You are a dignified embroidered general, why did you treat him as a traitor?"
She has been with Li Shimin for a long time, and at this time she is also contaminated with a trace of the latter's wolf nature.
Li Shimin didn't care too much, and rode forward with a calm expression: "Why do you need to be in a hurry? Xue Ju wishes I would turn my face with this one now." There is a good saying, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky. ”
Zhang Yurou was stunned for a moment, she listened to Li Shimin's meaning, and seemed to be planning to swallow her anger at Bai Yusao's rudeness.
"Don't worry. ”
Tang Jian seemed to sense her thoughts, his eyes squinted, and he laughed: "You must know that dogs that bite people never bark." ”
Li Shimin couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, thinking to himself, how can you describe this Maoyo brother?
At this time, Bai Yusa was standing on the third floor, coldly watching the pair of knights led by Li Shimin walking away on the street.
At this time, behind him, a figure dressed as a bookkeeper was angrily reprimanding: "I think you are just too carried away! The owner said that you should be well received, and you might as well be kind to the offer, as long as it is not higher than 13 million yuan, you can agree." What are you going to do? Do you really think this guy is easy to mess with? Now the King of Qi has been imprisoned by the Son of Heaven, and the overlord of Western Qin, Xue Ju, has also repented of his mistakes. The black businessmen in Chang'an have never provoked him. Now they are still in the cell of the criminal department, crying bitterly!"
Bai Yu's eyes suddenly showed a red light, and he looked back at the person beside him, the fierce and arrogant momentum made the latter's expression palpitate slightly, and he subconsciously closed his mouth and took a few steps back.
This person's timid appearance made Bai Yu laugh: "Remember it for me! The Sprinkle family is neither the King of Qi in your mouth, nor does it have so many scruples as Xue Ju." If this stinky boy dares to make his family an enemy, then the Sprinkler family will definitely turn off his head immediately! And the master of your family, does he really regard the Sprinkler family as a dog of his family?"
Speaking of this, he patted the bookkeeper on the shoulder with a pleasant face: "Don't worry! I don't think it will be long before this Kaifu Lord has no heart to take care of the Qinghai business." This loss, even if he is reluctant, he has to swallow it obediently for me, understand?"
