"At least it is suspected of smuggling and tax evasion, and at worst, it is suspected of colluding with rebels and plotting rebellion?

At this time, sitting on the side of Li Yuan's study, the person who asked the housekeeper Li Dai was Dou Wei, the former Shishe who was now resigned at home.

After getting the exact answer from Li Dai's face, the smile on his face was even more gratified: "That should be fine, Erlang's reputation as a crouching tiger is really worthy of his reputation." This move seems to be reckless and impulsive, but it is actually a matter of one fell swoop, and even for you, Shude, it is not without benefits. ”

"I didn't expect that this little bastard would have such a delicate mind. ”

Li Yuan's eyes also showed a look of satisfaction, and at this time, his heart suddenly moved slightly, and he asked Li Jiancheng, who was standing on the side of the school, in the tone of the school examination: "Bishamen, can you see clearly what Erlang's plans are?"

Li Jiancheng's expression was slightly condensed, and a trace of innocence flashed in his eyes, but then he still replied respectfully: "The child is ignorant, I can only briefly see a few layers of intentions of the second brother, and I ask my father and uncle to forgive me for what he said."

Dou Wei is his mother's cousin, so Li Jiancheng is called his uncle.

And the next one, under the scrutiny of Li Yuan and Dou Wei, said calmly: "First, Erlang can win the trust of the Son of Heaven by attacking the black market." In this world, there are not many people who dare to offend many powerful people in the DPRK and the central government and make a move to the Luoyang black market. In the eyes of children, even Xue Daoheng and Yu Shiji and others have no such courage. ”

Xue Daoheng was known for his upright temperament when he was an official during his lifetime, and he repeatedly made outspoken remarks, and was even convicted and died. But when he was a doctor in the department, he also turned a blind eye to the Luoyang black market.

As for Yu Shiji, he is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, forming a party with Pei Yun and Feng Deyi and others, and is extremely powerful in the court, almost covering the sky with one hand. can say that this person dares to attack the Luoyang black market, Li Jiancheng will never believe it. In fact, these few big commercial banks in the black market all hold a large share of dry stocks.

Therefore, Li Shimin's actions today are full of loyalty and integrity.

"Second, it can relieve the Son of Heaven's suspicions about the ministers!"

When he said this, Li Jiancheng's eyes were extremely complicated, and various emotions such as admiration, admiration, unwillingness, and envy were mixed together.

However, this look was only fleeting, so fast that Li Yuan and Dou Wei who were present were completely unnoticeable.

"This is what the child admires the second brother the most! After the winter hunt, the Son of Heaven is inevitably suspicious of his ministers. And the reason why those traitors were able to hide from the supervision of the imperial court and repeatedly caused incidents, Luoyang's black market ship city can be said to have made great contributions. Now here, I am afraid that it is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Son of Heaven. ”

When Dou Wei heard this, he asked noncommittally: "But if the Son of Heaven is jealous of the black market, he can order the embroidered clothes guard, or Si Litai to search, why wait for your second brother to make a move?"

"But today's situation is already affecting the whole body. Since the Son of Heaven is suspicious of the ministers, how can he not be afraid to startle the snakes and force the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to oppose them because of his radical actions? Thinking about it the other way, the courtiers and magnates who should have been involved in the black market shipmates are now afraid that they will inevitably feel apprehensive? The Son of Heaven is now reluctant to let it go, but is just planning and preparing and waiting for the opportunity. But although these people don't want to be suspicious of the Son of Heaven and intend to relieve the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, they are more worried about the embroidered clothes guard, Si Litai, Yushitai and others chasing and beating hard. ”

Li Jiancheng said lightly: "So at this time, the identity of the second brother is the most suitable, he is a trusted embroidered general, and he is a member of the nobles, so he can win the trust of His Majesty and the courtiers at the same time." Isn't it fortunate that the shopkeepers and bookkeepers of those trading houses have suffered a prison sentence, but they can also avoid even greater disasters in the future? Therefore, all the trading houses in the black market have no intention of escaping and hiding, and let the second brother arrest them, which is obviously to prove their innocence through the hands of the second brother. Even if the charges of smuggling and tax evasion are finally confirmed, it is nothing more than paying some fines and being exiled. After the fact, some money can be used to smooth the matter. Whether it is to make people guilty, or to change their identities directly, those people in Nantai Imperial Prison can get out safely. ”

"Shude, your Erlang is really the dragon and phoenix among people, but this Erlang is also outstanding!"

Dou Wei exclaimed, and then asked with a smile: "Then what else?" Erlang's intentions should be more than that?"

"The third is to investigate the case, I think it won't be long before the second brother will know all the money in the black market this year. As long as those traitors of the Demon Dragon Babu have traded in the Luoyang black market, they will inevitably show clues. ”

When Li Jiancheng said this, his expression was slightly hesitant: "There is a fourth layer, and the child is not sure." The second brother didn't care much about other trading houses, but he was in charge of the tiger warehouse himself when he attacked the tiger cang, which must have a purpose,"

When Dou Wei heard this, he couldn't help but bow slightly: "Erlang's move must be meant to cut off with the Yang family." The traces of the Duke of Chu have been revealed, and your Tang Mansion should stay away from them, whether it is public or private. ”

Li Yuan interjected here and sneered: "Cut off with the Yang family, although Erlang has this intention, but I don't think he will be able to get his wish." When Yang Xuangan raised the anti-flag three or five months later, our martial arts Li clan might be involved, and the whole clan would have to be arrested and imprisoned by the Son of Heaven. ”

When Li Jiancheng heard this, his expression couldn't help but be slightly embarrassed, while Dou Wei next to him was helpless: "Shude, with Ling'er's wisdom, why is this so? Ling'er has always been far-sighted, I think you will not let your family suffer such a catastrophe, you are too worried." ”

"Dare to ask uncle, is this really my unfounded worry?"

Li Yuan snorted coldly: "This lady of mine is indeed smart, so smart that she did all kinds of big things without me, and every single one of them is enough to make my Li family all over the house! It's not just our Li family, I think your Dou family at that time, I'm afraid the situation will not be much better!"

"I believe that Ling'er has her own way of doing things, I have heard her say that the Duke of Chu is just chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no evidence. ”

Dou Wei shook his head and continued to admonish: "I guess the reason why she chose to back down this time is not because Yang Xuangan grabbed her handle. Instead, he wanted to use his power to shake the power of the Great Sui. ”

"She is thinking about it in her heart, and she wants to avenge the Yuwen family! The Yuwen clan is her uncle's clan, but my Tang Guofu is her husband's family! The net worth of Bishamen and Pilusha is a fart in her eyes!"

Li Yuan became more and more indignant, not only did he speak rudely, but his demeanor was not as gentle and elegant as usual: "The overthrow of the Great Sui Kingdom, for you and me, can there be any benefit?"

"But it doesn't seem to hurt to me,"

Dou Wei said in a leisurely voice: "Like their Yang father and son, I am afraid that in a hundred years at most, I am afraid that the name of the family will be bleak, and from then on it will be reduced to mud and dust, and there is no doubt about the common people." To tell the truth, if I Dou Wei, with the ability of your martial arts Li clan, I will directly set off their Yang clan's country. ”

Li Yuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and looked at the person in front of him with a face full of disbelief. It's just that I didn't expect that my wife's cousin would have such a rebellious idea.

"It's just talking, Shude, you don't have to mind. I, Dou Wei, am a scholar, and I have a weak heart for many things. ”

Dou Wei smiled again at this time, and said comfortingly: "I know Ling'er's temperament. If it weren't for the constraints of family affection, when Yang Jian was seriously ill ten years ago, she didn't know what kind of things she would do. ”

At this point, he paused again, with a solemn expression: "No matter what, your husband and wife are all in the same body, sharing weal and woe." Shude, no matter how angry you are, you should endure it at this time and help Ling'er her. It is necessary to know that the husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken. With the current situation, only by working together can you make this Tang Mansion turn the danger into a disaster,"

"I know, how can I not know? ”

Li Yuan muttered in his mouth, and his face was full of helplessness: "It's impossible for my Li Shude to really help her rebel? And even if I escape this time, my foolish nephew will not be able to sleep peacefully in the future." What else will she do in the future?"

"I don't think there will be a second time in this case. ”

Dou Wei shook his head with a cautious expression: "Ling'er, her wisdom and forbearance, Shude, you won't know it." How could she not think about the brothers Vishamen and Viruja? No matter how crazy a woman is, there is a limit. I think Ling'er must have seen the hope of shaking the foundation of the Great Sui, so she would take such a risk. But I think this time, it's already her limit. ”

Hearing this, not only Li Yuan looked relieved in this study, it was Li Jiancheng, and the faint hint of resentment and dissatisfaction in his eyes also faded a little at this time.

In Li Shimin's courtyard, Zhang Yurou was sitting cross-legged in a quiet room. In front of her was the dragon bone dao soldier. The skeleton of the whole body is black and gray, and the dark fire flashes in the pupils of the eyes.

And outside the place where Zhang Yurou was sitting, the six Taoists led by Zhang Kongming each held a spiritual decision, and there were words in their mouths. So that between this heaven and earth, the spiritual tide surges. A large amount of crimson flames swept up from under the body of the dragon bone daoist, almost completely enveloping the latter.

It is worth noting that at this time, there are also dark red lines, spreading little by little around the body of this dragon bone dao soldier.

Everywhere it passes, the outer layer of the skeleton changes accordingly. It is more rounded and smooth, shimmering with a metallic sheen, preferably like a crude piece of porcelain, carved into a delicate work of art. It was as if the skeleton was covered with a layer of metal armor.

However, the outer layer of the skeleton sometimes has a faint crack. Zhang Yurou always reacted in time, grabbed a handful of fine white bone meal from a small bronze tripod on his side and sprinkled it. The latter will merge into the body of this dragon bone Dao soldier in an instant, and completely repair these cracks.
