"Knowing everything, saying everything?"

Li Shimin smiled meaninglessly: "Since you don't understand, then wait until you get to Nantai and think clearly before telling me." ”

The 'Nantai' he refers to is an edict under the jurisdiction of the embroidered guard.

In Li Shimin's mind, these shopkeepers of Tiger Warehouse are all used to doing business, and they are all shrewd like ghosts. Which customers are suspicious, which transactions are boring, and how can they not have a number in their hearts?

So he didn't bother to ask, and when he stayed in the edict prison for more than ten or twenty days, Xu Dashan would naturally speak or be killed if he couldn't stand it, Li Shimin was not in a hurry at all anyway.

"But Lord Kaifu, I'm afraid it's a little unruly for you to do this?"

Xu Dashan raised his head with a pale face, and his tone strengthened by three points: "Lord Kaifu is so willful and reckless, he is not afraid of the reproach of the princes in the court?"

"Unruly? Dare to ask which family's rules are? Listen to the meaning of your words, could it be that you are planning to threaten the future?"

Li Shimin's eyes were as cold as a knife at this person, and it was not until he saw Xu Dashan give in and bow his head again that he restrained the murderous intent in his eyes.

As for the princes of the imperial court you mentioned, if they really had the guts, they would have been looking forward to it. ”

After saying this, Li Shimin turned his head and signaled to Fan Shixing: "Take everyone away for me, all the goods on the ship, but those who cannot explain the source, will be confiscated as evidence of the crime!"

Fan Shixing immediately received the order, and on the one hand, he arranged for manpower to escort Xu Dashan and other cadres into the prisoner car, and on the other hand, he personally commanded the forbidden army and continued to unload all the goods on the ship.

The interior of this five-story ship is extremely large, and there are many goods loaded inside, with more than 600 pieces of ink armor alone, with a total value of more than 2 million yuan. And most of them can't be explained. Therefore, the hundreds of forbidden troops brought over by Li Shimin took a lot of effort to move these things ashore. Fortunately, they brought enough wagons, otherwise it would have been a problem to transport these things back to Luoyang.

Soon after that, two more pieces of good news arrived. The two embroidered captains under Li Shimin, Shang Xueyang and Xiao Shoudao, successfully captured the cargo ships of Tianjiu Commercial Bank and Guangluocang, and captured both the stolen goods.

It must be mentioned here that the first two are Li Shimin's newly recruited subordinates, the former of which originated from the recommendation of Yu Wenshihe, and the latter was recommended by Sima Liancheng to serve under him. All of them have a good body and can do it, and they are cultivated to the second grade, but they are depressed in the embroidered clothes.

As for Tianjiu Commercial Bank and Guangluocang, they are the two commercial houses ranked only below Tiger Cang and Luosheng Bank.

This time, Li Shimin is not just doing it to the Tiger Cang family. The cargo ships of Tianjiu Commercial Bank and Guangluocang, two big black market trading houses, are also within his target. It's just that it's especially important in the Tiger Warehouse, and the background is solid, so it's up to him to take charge himself.

But Li Shimin also attaches equal importance to the other two, and the manpower used even exceeds that of the Tiger Warehouse by nearly thirty percent. In addition, there are also a large number of masters accompanying him, such as Yang Yunshi Rakshasa and others, who are all assigned by him in these two places, and there are also faceless arrows Luo Li in the center to ensure that there will be no accidents in this operation.

And Shang Xiao and the others did not disappoint him, and successfully took down the two cargo ships. It is said that the harvest is not small, especially the several shopkeepers and bookkeepers of Tianjiu Commercial Bank, who happened to settle accounts on the cargo ship for a meeting, and were served by Shang Xueyang. not only captured several important people of Tianjiu Commercial Bank, but also won a complete set of account books.

And at one hour, when these three convoys escorting human traffickers and a large number of stolen goods converged on the official road in the east of Luoyang City, all the characters in Luoyang City were already moved. All of a sudden, all sorts of horsemen flocked to each other on both sides of the road, watching this huge convoy. These people have different expressions, some are excited, some are gloating, some are angry, some are looking at each other, and so on.

Li Shimin even found more than a dozen acquaintances from it, including many relatives and friends of the Li family in their martial arts, all of whom were gloomy and unpredictable at the moment.

It was not surprising that among these knights, he found Yang Jishan's figure. There is another person next to him, who looks similar to Yang Jishan, and that should be Yang Jishan's brother Yang Xuanting, so the third person under Yang Su, the Duke of Chu.

The Tiger Warehouse is one of the most important sources of wealth for the Duke of Chu, and if there is no movement at this time, it will be a strange thing.

The two of them seemed to feel Li Shimin's gaze, and they actually rode forward generously, came to Li Shimin's side, walked forward with him, and then asked directly to the point: "Li Erlang, dare to ask me the Duke of Chu Mansion, have you offended Your Excellency recently?"

Li Shimin thought to himself that where you offended me, there are so many places to go, shouldn't you know it?

But there was no difference on his face, and he replied calmly: "Offended? This makes me a little confused? Listening to the meaning of the two Yang brothers, do you think that I, Li Shimin, am I having a personal vendetta in the communiqué?"

Yang Jishan looked at Li Shimin's side face steadily, as if he wanted to punch this guy in the face, but after a while, he finally suppressed the anger in his eyes: "Then dare to ask Li Kaifu, what did these guys from the Tiger Warehouse do?"

After Li Shimin stopped, he still had a * look: "I'm sorry, the matter involves a serious case in the imperial court, and it is inconvenient to disclose it to unrelated people." If the two Yang brothers are curious, they might as well wait for a while, and they will naturally know what is going on at that time. ”

The anger in Yang Jishan's eyes suddenly accumulated again, but before he had a seizure, he was forcibly held down by Yang Xuanting next to him. The latter's city government was obviously better than Yang Jishan's, and there was a smile on his face from beginning to end: "How can you say that it has nothing to do with it? As we all know, my Chu State Mansion is one of the owners of the Tiger Warehouse. It is even an exaggeration to say that this commercial house is the property of the Duke of Chu. Now that our family's property and friends are in trouble, how can we, as the main family, ignore it?"

When Li Shimin heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he glanced at Yang Xuanting fixedly. thought that this guy was more responsible than Yang Jishan. Then he said with a look of surprise: "I see, is the Tiger Warehouse actually the property of the Duke of Chu? ”

He clenched his fists to his chest as he spoke, apologizing. Seeing this, the two Yang brothers were as disgusted as if they had eaten flies, but they couldn't help but respond, and while helplessly replying, they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to say that they listened to Li Shimin continue to open his eyes and say nonsense: "Originally, the two of them should not have been told about the case involved in this tiger warehouse. However, the Duke of Chu and my Great Sui are in the same fate, and it is expected that they will not do that kind of rebellion, commit chaos, and will not easily leak the news, so even if I reveal one or two here, it should be fine. The things committed by Tiger Warehouse this time ranged from tax evasion to tax evasion, and at worst, collusion with traitors, suspected of rebellion. And the rest of the Tianjiu Commercial Bank and Guangluo Cang are also in the general situation. But what kind of crime is charged in the end depends on the specific situation when the case is tried by the general public. ”

He seemed to be talking to the two brothers, Yang Jishan and Yang Xuanting, but his eyes were scanning the crowd of onlookers on both sides of the road.

Yang Jishan immediately frowned, and was about to open his mouth to defend, but was pulled by Yang Xuanting. At the same time, he also grabbed his bridle and stopped moving forward, watching Li Shimin and his minions go away.

It wasn't until this huge convoy disappeared into the distant city gate that this one turned his head and glanced at the people around him, and smiled bitterly: "At least it is tax evasion, and at worst, it is collusion with traitors, and it is suspected of plotting rebellion." Haven't the fourth brother understood this?"

At this time, most of the leaders on both sides of the road had thoughtful looks.

What Li Shimin said just now was not only to the two brothers, but also to the many leaders of the forces who were watching again today.

"How can you not understand?"

Yang Jishan had already woken up, and his face was full of complicated colors: "I originally thought that he was getting carried away and wanted to stab the hornet's nest of the Black Boat City, but it seems that I was too naïve." This guy is really the first treacherous person I've ever met!"

"It should be said that he is old and resourceful. No wonder Li Mina is full of praise and admiration for him. Father, he really didn't see the wrong person, this son is indeed worthy of the words 'dragon leaping and phoenix'. In recent years, the martial arts Li family, the reason why the family business has gradually prospered, and there is a tendency to catch up with the latter, this son can be said to be a great contribution. Today, what seems to be a reckless move is a means to count in one fell swoop—"

Yang Xuanting shook his head and sighed softly: "Anyway, let's go back first, you and I just need to tell my brother and Master Li about today's events in the original way." The two of them, naturally, have a proper way to deal with it,"

"But it's hard to do!"

Yang Jishan's eyebrows had wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and he used the method of binding sound into a line, and whispered in Yang Xuanting's ear: "My family has a deep grudge with the martial arts Li family. Especially this Li Shimin, after his brother's death half a year ago, it seems that he has swallowed his anger and endured humiliation, but in fact, he has not endured it and waited for the time to move. This man has hated my family to the bone marrow because of the death of his brother. Once I find an opportunity, I will definitely go all out, and I will never give up if I don't put my Chu State Mansion into a state of no return. ”

"How can you not know for your brother?"

Yang Xuanting smiled bitterly and replied, "You and I should trust the ability of my brother and the Dharma Master, they have enough wisdom to deal with this matter." ”

Speaking of this, he also looked in the direction of the city gate with sorrow in his eyes: "This son really deserves the name of 'Crouching Tiger'! To be honest, I am really worried now." I have to say that it is not unreasonable for my brother to be so jealous of them,"

Yang Jishan next to him was silent for a while, and what Yang Xuanting was worried about was what he was most worried about

The abandoned son of the Li family, whom he looked down on at that time, is now likely to become the biggest obstacle to their family business.
