Cheng Huailiang went up with a big mouth: "The Hu people dare to rob money and beat children in my Datang territory, are you still reasonable?" ”

After drawing Ada, Cheng Huailiang turned to Zong Xiu and asked, "How much silver did they rob?" ”

Zong Xiu said with a smile: "Several children were robbed of more than ten taels together. ”

Cheng Huailiang's face sank: "Good guy, block the road and rob a dozen taels, wait for prison food." Take! Take! ”

Seeing that the Shenwu Army escorted the five Hu people away, Zong Xiu asked the guys to go back to the store first, and at the same time said to Jiang Shihu: "You go to Qingxiang Building and calculate the losses with the shopkeeper, no matter how much, we will compensate others." In addition, when I went back, I tapped the number of people, and each person who came to fight today was given five taels of silver, and then fifty taels were divided equally, and several children were each given one tael to buy candy to eat. ”

Jiang Shihu scratched his head: "The owner, it's simple to lose money and send silver, but how to keep this account?" ”

"Just remember the righteousness and courage as a reward! In the future, we will set up a special account in the store and recruit a group of strong thugs. ”

After explaining the follow-up matters, Zong Xiu led Jiang Chen to the store, and when he arrived at the store, he saw that it was noon, and asked Jiang Chen to put on the carriage and rush home.

He was afraid that Yi would wake up and not find him, so he was in a hurry to go back.

But sometimes that's how it goes, the more anxious you are, the more messy it is.

Before Zong Xiu's carriage left the South City Gate, it was stopped.

Cui Xianwen rode a high-headed horse, led a bunch of Jin Wuwei and said, "Master Zong led the family to beat the envoy who injured Tuyuhun, which is really a great majesty. This official is instructed by His Majesty to invite Master Zong into the palace! ”

"What? Those Hu people are Tuyuhun envoys? ”

Jiang Chen, who was in the car, was shocked.

Zong Xiu lazily got out of the carriage and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder: "What's the panic, it's just a thief from a small country." You rush back first, help me talk to the girl, don't wait for me to eat lunch. ”

"Adult ......"

Jiang Chen has served in the army, fought in battles, and also served as the commander of the national prison, his vision and knowledge are there, and he naturally understands what it is to hurt the envoy.

Zong Xiu waved his hand and said to Cui Xianwen: "Enter the palace, lead the way." I want to see what sins Your Majesty has done to me. ”

Seeing Zong Xiu's indifferent expression, Cui Xianwen was even more annoyed: "Come on, please get in the car!" ”

After several Hu people were escorted to Jingzhao Mansion, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion reported the matter to Li Shimin after learning that they were the escorts of Tuyuhun's envoy 'Wang Nuo Karma'.

The escort of the Tuyuhun envoy can also be called an envoy. Since ancient times, there has been an unwritten rule - the two armies will not fight each other, not to mention that Datang and Tuyuhun have not fallen out yet.

Besides, Tuguhun came to propose marriage, and now he hasn't seen the face of the saint yet, but he was beaten in Chang'an City, and Li Shimin is naturally angry.

But when Li Shimin learned that the person who led the crowd to commit the murder was Zong Xiu, he gave up the idea of directly ordering the murderer to be thrown into the prison, and instead sent Cui Xianwen, a regular attendant, to lead Jin Wuwei to take Zong Xiu into the palace, so that Zong Xiu could explain the situation clearly in person.

Although Jingzhao Mansion Yin has written all the causes and consequences of the incident into twists and turns, Li Shimin still doesn't believe it.

Because he thinks he knows Zong Xiu very well - a person who likes to hide clumsy, it is impossible for him to lead more than 20 people to besiege Tuyuhun in broad daylight because the guys in the store were robbed of some silver.

In the Lin De Palace, in addition to Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian, there were several people sitting.

Next to Li Shimin was a middle-aged man wearing a purple official robe, a goldfish bag around his waist, and a bookish man, and there were two groups of people a few feet away from Lao Li's family.

A group of Hu people wearing sheepskin hats, and next to them lay on the ground Ada and others who were beaten by Zong Xiu.

Opposite the Hu people, there sat several men with sallow and black skin.

Although the two groups of people sat respectfully, they glared at each other angrily, and neither looked at each other unpleasantly.

Everyone sat quietly, and the atmosphere was very delicate.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, followed by a small eunuch running in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cui is here to give the order."

"Xuan!"

"Yes."

The little eunuch hurried out again, but after a while, Cui Xianwen and Zong Xiu walked in side by side.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Cui Xianwen took the lead in kneeling down and said: "Long live my emperor, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he intercepted Zongxiu with the south gate, and now he has brought people back." ”

These words were vague, as if Zong Xiu was afraid of crime and absconded.

Before Li Shimin could speak, Ada, who was lying on the ground, saw Zong Xiu and immediately shouted: "My lord, it's him!" It's him! That's him! Our injuries were caused by him with others, and he asked the adults to call the shots for us. ”

Wang Nuo got up angrily: "We came to worship the Tang Emperor on the order of the Khan, but the accompanying guards were injured by the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, which damaged the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Now that the perpetrator has been brought, please hand him over to me to deal with! ”

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, he looked at Wang Nuo's bowl, and then at Zong Xiu, without saying a word.

Lu Dongzan, the Tibetan envoy who was sitting opposite Wang Nuo's bowl, laughed and said, "Wang Nuo's bowl, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your skin is thick again. How did I hear that it was your guards who injured someone's guy first, and the other party was a group of children. Could it be that you Tuyuhun are so poor that you can't afford to pay the guards' salaries, so you can only let the guards steal and rob them? ”

"Lu Dongzan, this is my Tuyuhun and Datang's business, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Haha, I just can't look past it, can't I say a few words?"

Lu Dongzan stood up and pointed at Ada and the others and shouted: "As an envoy, I came to worship the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and the wicked people sued first if they did not follow the rules in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Tibetan? Tuyuhun?

Zong Xiu stood in the main hall, wondering in his heart: How did these two groups of people collide together? Could it be that you are here to ask for a marriage? Princess Wencheng married Tibet far away, shouldn't it be a few years later when she married Songtsen Gampo.

In the main hall, Lu Dongzan and Wang Nuo are still revealing their old secrets to each other, after all, they are all coming for the same purpose - to ask for marriage! They all hope that Li Shimin will marry a princess to them, so as to get the assistance of the Tang Dynasty and destroy the other party.

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian quietly watched the envoys of the two countries quarrel with each other, but Cui Xianwen gritted his teeth with hatred: Why do you guys cause trouble to this son, Zong Xiu injured the envoy, the crime is not punishable, isn't it good for everyone to crusade against Zong Xiu?

However, Wang Nuo and Lu Dongzan didn't know what Cui Xianwen was thinking, and they were still accusing each other, hoping to ruin each other's courtship.

Li Shimin looked at it for a while and gently patted the forearm of the eldest grandson.

The two have been in the same bed for so many years, how can the eldest grandson Wujian not know what Li Shimin means, this is to make her sing red-faced, and at the moment the phoenix eyes were angry, and shouted sharply: "Is there enough trouble!" Quarrel with me in the Tang Palace, depending on the majesty of the Son of Heaven! ”
