"Yuelai Inn? Could it be that this is also the Chai family's industry? ”

Li Kuan felt that this world was really too coincidental.

After going around, I didn't expect to be able to go back to Yuelai Inn.

"That's right, my subordinates are 100% sure that Yuelai Inn is the property of the Chai family. Don't look at this Yuelai Inn is just a mid-range inn, but it has more than 30 branches in Chang'an City, Luoyang, Jinyang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xiangzhou, Ezhou and many other state capitals. The semicolons of this Yuelai Inn are very wide, which can accommodate at least a few hundred guests at the same time, and in addition to accommodation, there are various contents of eating, drinking and playing.

To put it mildly, the overall scale of Yuelai Inn is definitely the largest in Datang, and it contributes a lot of income to the Chai family every year. At the beginning, in Princess Pingyang's women's army, there were many mountain bandits and traitors, and many people were placed in the Yuelai Inn, plus there was the big backer of the Chai family, and ordinary people didn't dare to provoke the Yuelai Inn. ”

Wang Xuanwu was very angry and introduced the situation of Yuelai Inn.

To be honest, over the years, he has not thought about taking revenge on Yuelai Inn for driving his two brothers out of the door in the first place.

However, after some investigation, he found that if he dealt with the Yuelai Inn, he would cause trouble for the Chu Palace.

And Li Kuan was their brother's great benefactor, Wang Xuanwu naturally didn't want to cause trouble for Li Kuan, so he held back.

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation, except for the living industry, our palace has not been involved, and the others are available. It just so happens that this time we have made up for this shortcoming. ”

This Yuelai Inn involves Wang Xuanwu's personal grievances, and Li Kuan did not wait for Wang Xuanwu to continue to introduce the other industries of the Chai family, so he expressed his intention to deal with Yuelai Inn.

After all, he is his descendant, and he still has to take care of his mood.

"Lord Wang, if it's very troublesome, it's okay to let go of Yuelai Inn."

Wang Xuanwu said insincerely.

"This king has his own plan, don't worry. Let's continue to talk about what other industries the Chai family has? ”

"The Chai family owns a large number of coal mines in Jinyang, and is the owner of the Jinyang honeycomb coal workshop, and it is said that due to the opening of the cement road, the transportation cost has dropped, and the honeycomb coal of the Jinyang honeycomb coal workshop can be seen in Shuozhou. Although the price is a little more expensive, it sells well. ”

"Humph! His Chai family has some vision. ”

Li Kuan found that the Chai family not only followed the Chu Wangfu to earn money from the whaling industry, but also from honeycomb coal.

This is really accurate.

"Chai Shao died only a few years ago, and his eldest son, Chai Zhewei, inherited the title of Duke of Qian Guo and the position of the head of the Chai family, and he is considered to be more discerning and capable among the sons of the nobles, so although Chai Lingwu is not very talented and short-sighted, the Chai family is not in charge of his family, so it has not been greatly affected. In addition, the Chai family has a lot of mineral deposits such as copper mines under its name, and it is also a silk merchant in Chang'an City. ”

"I wasn't affected much before, but I won't be able to do it in the future. Since the Chai family is Chai Lingwu's eldest brother, he will have to pay the price for what his younger brother has done. Under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent. ”

Li Kuan already had a plan in his heart to deal with the Chai family.

Although Xu Jingzong and Liu Jie were also behind him, he did not hide it.

"Nowadays, there are more and more four-wheeled carriages in Chang'an City, and there are some car accidents every day. Xuanwu, you go and arrange, Chai Lingwu's guards, within three days, this king wants them all to lie down, whether they are dead or alive, it depends on their own creation. ”

When Liu Jie, who was following behind, heard this, his face immediately let go of his sadness.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really powerful, and he is still worried that the Chai family is too powerful, and this matter will be turned over in a small way.

I didn't expect ......

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it in a while!"

"Also, look at where Chai Lingwu likes to go, and find an opportunity to scare him and let him learn a lesson. As for the Chai family whaling team in Dengzhou, you can arrange it, now that there is a shortage of manpower in Nanyang, they have robbed all their boats, and even people and ships are brought to Nanyang together, and the personnel of the Chai family whaling team are all arranged to pick spices on Spice Island, and let them be companions with spices in this life. ”

"This method is good, even if the Chai family has any suspicions, there is no evidence, so they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. By the way, it also solves the problem of insufficient manpower and high confidentiality requirements on Spice Island. ”

Wang Xuanwu had a smile on his face, feeling that the Chai family was finally going to be punished.

"As for the honey shop, I arranged for someone to pull a cart of night incense every day, and 'accidentally' the horse was frightened and rushed into their shop, I see how long this honey shop can be opened."

Xu Jingzong was stunned when he heard it in the back.

Originally, he thought that his means were the worst, but he didn't expect ......

His own prince is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

……

Jing Mu is a member of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, and now lurks in the labor cattle transport team.

After several years of expansion, Jingmu is now a leader in the Lao Niu transportation team, and is very trusted by the two owners, Lao Hansan and Niu Zhu.

Yesterday, Jing Mu, who had not received a task for a long time, finally received new instructions.

Jing Mu, who was originally a little skeptical that the director had forgotten him, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although this task is not difficult, Jing Mu is ready to participate in it himself.

Otherwise, he would almost forget that he was a member of the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace.

"It should be him, hmph, it's not good to nest in the Chai Mansion, if you have to come out, then your life is not good."

After Jing Mu received the task, he immediately locked Chai Lingwu's whereabouts, and then personally went to confirm the appearance of several guards around him.

If he can escape after the car accident, then he is ready to do it all on his own.

If you can't get out of it, it's a normal car accident.

The Lao Niu transport team is responsible for losing money!

As for whether this will make people doubt his identity, Jing Mu doesn't care so much.

He had long wanted to return to Wang Xuanwu to work, and he was about to think of himself as a real driver when he ran transportation every day.

"Brother He, if you have the opportunity to help me say a few kind words in front of Chai Langjun, the younger brother is definitely grateful for his kindness."

In front of a restaurant, after He was full of wine and food, he carried a handful of silver coins and enjoyed the feeling of superiority.

It was a merchant in Chang'an City who invited him to dinner today, and he was doing the business of the Chai family.

Although the head of the Chai family is Chai Zhewei, he is not very careful about business matters, but Chai Lingwu wants to point fingers.

Therefore, many businesses have turned their attention to Chai Lingwu.

As one of Chai Lingwu's cronies and guards, He Fill naturally became the target of many businessmen.

"Don't worry, it's on me! Other people's words may not work, but Chai Langjun is still willing to listen to my words. ”

Bragging is not illegal.

He Fill would not tell people that he was in front of Chai Lingwu, and he did not dare to show his selfishness at will.

Anyway, I ate the rice, drank the wine, and took the silver coins, so I generally let the family listen to a few comfortable words.

"That's really good, I heard that Wuheju has recently come out with a new dish, I'll invite Brother He to try it another day."

"Well said, well said."

He smiled and waved his hand and walked out into the street.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The horse was frightened! ”

At this moment, a four-wheeled carriage came speeding down the street.

Although He Fill also heard the sound, after drinking too much from the burning knife, the whole person's reaction became much more sluggish.

As a result, with the screams of some people around, with a "bang", a horse bumped into He Fill and knocked him to the side.

Before he could utter a scream, the wheels of the carriage rushed over him, and with a trail of blood, it sped forward.

And He Fill was completely knocked unconscious and died.

As for whether he can wake up, it depends on whether his life is hard enough.

The same scene appeared in various parts of Chang'an City within two days.

Several of Chai Lingwu's guards were all in a car accident!

"Big brother, someone is going to kill me! Help me figure it out! ”

In the Chai Mansion, Chai Lingwu lost his former composure, and stood in front of Chai Zhewei with a pale face.

If the news of He Chong's car accident did not have any impact on Chai Lingwu, then one after another, all the guards around him "coincidentally" encountered car accidents, and the key was that the horses were frightened and the culprit ran away.

As long as the brain is not flooded, everyone knows that this coincidence is not a coincidence.

Thinking of what these guards did a few days ago, Chai Lingwu's first reaction was that Li Kuan wanted to kill him.

Well, I have to say, his feeling is quite accurate.

"Second brother, these people are dealing with those guards, and no one has come to deal with you, I think they just want to give you some warnings."

So far, Chai Zhewei doesn't think that this matter is aimed at the Chai family.

His brain is very useful, and he can naturally think of problems that Chai Lingwu can think of.

Those guards beat the students of the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy, and then they were in a car accident from the next day.

One dead and three wounded!

Chai Zhewei naturally guessed that this must be the revenge of the Chu Palace.

However, the funny thing is that the injured person was still sent to the Affiliated Medical Center of Guanshishan Academy Medical College for treatment.

I don't know what other accidents and coincidences will happen to them.

"Big brother, why didn't you deal with me? Yesterday when I was returning home, I encountered a four-wheeled carriage with frightened horses, although it was not loaded with me, but on the way home, I encountered three frightened four-wheeled carriages...... It's not trying to deal with me, so what's that? ”

Chai Lingwu felt that he had never been so afraid.

Originally, he thought that with the status of this family, no one in Chang'an City would dare to embarrass him.

Who would have thought that this time he would meet Li Kuan, who did not play cards according to common sense.

Although he was unscathed yesterday, he has become a frightened bird.

Now, as soon as he goes out, he is worried about hearing the words "frightened horses".

"Ling Wu, you said that on your way back to your home, you encountered three frightened four-wheeled carriages, but none of them hit you, what does this mean, isn't it obvious? Besides, it was you who was wrong in the first place, and it wasn't too out of line for the guards to teach you a lesson. ”

Chai Zhewei is a smart man, and he is naturally very aware of the status and influence of the Chu Palace's palace in Chang'an City.

Although he is not afraid of [ ] Li Kuan, he still doesn't want to provoke the Chu Wangfu if he can.

"However, this morning our family's honey shop in the West Market was once again made all over the place because the horses were frightened, and this is not out of the ordinary?

Yesterday morning it was like this, this morning it was like this, and tomorrow what? What about the day after tomorrow? Do we want to open a honey shop? The other nobles in Chang'an City may be watching the joke on the sidelines. ”

Chai Lingwu originally expected his eldest brother to support him, but found that this was not the case at all.

How can this make him embarrassed?

The nobles of Chang'an City will certainly laugh at the Chai family because of this incident, but more will only laugh at Chai Lingwu.

He couldn't accept that.

From childhood to adulthood, who would dare to give him such grievances.

"Guanshishan Academy, that's Li Kuan's confined, your subordinates beat their students, isn't this a hornet's nest? This honey shop will definitely not be able to open in a short period of time.

I also learned about the ins and outs of this matter, and the Agricultural College of Guanshishan Academy is vigorously cultivating artificial beekeeping, and it is obviously impossible for them not to sell honey.

Now in Shuozhou, the future of our cotton fields is still in the hands of others, and there is no need to quarrel with the Chu Wangfu because of the honey shop. ”

Although the honey shop used to be an important source for the Chai family, it is now much less important than before.

Otherwise, Chai Zhewei would not have completely handed over the honey shop to Chai Lingwu to be in charge.

"Big brother, today we have taken one step back, tomorrow we will take two steps back, then Li Kuan will be an inch wide, what should we do? Do you really want to make the Chai family a joke for the nobles? ”

Inexplicably, Chai Lingwu felt that his face was swollen.

He could imagine what others would have said about him after this incident.

In particular, his own honey shop "happened" to be hit by a carriage transporting night incense for several days in a row.

"It just so happened that the wooden barrel full of night incense in front of the horse-drawn carriage had also collapsed, and the whole honey shop was occupied by a pile of night incense.

That taste, even several shops around the neighborhood were unlucky!

"Enough! Ling Wu, how many times have I told you, let you not bully others, Aya and A-Niang are no longer alive, our Chai family is no longer the Chai family of the past, if you are not careful, you will enter the realm of no return.

Also, you have been messing around with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all day long, don't think I don't know what your idea is, but I want to warn you, don't drag the entire Chai family into the water for your own selfish interests. ”

As the second son, Chai Lingwu is destined to have no way to inherit the title and wealth of the Chai family, and if he wants to get ahead, he has to fight again.

But what struggle is comparable to the dragon's feat?

Many of the noble children around Li Chengqian have the same thoughts as Chai Lingwu.

Otherwise, with the money given by Li Chengqian, where would Chai Lingwu see it?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince, what's the problem with me getting together with him? Didn't you say that the Chai family is not as good as before? If you want to carry it forward, you can't think of a way? ”

Chai Lingwu didn't feel that he was wrong.

The Chai family is a two-country public, and it depends on him.

"Forget it, I won't talk to you too much, anyway, this matter is like this first, what you provoked yourself, face it yourself."

Chai Zhewei didn't want to tell him too much about Li Chengqian's unstable position, and with Chai Lingwu's city government, he might sell himself after two more sips.

Then the Chai family will offend the East Palace.

This is not the ending he wants to see.
