Anyone who can open a 'face' business on the ground of Fengjing City, where every inch of land is valuable, will more or less find a 'backer' as a support. It's not just a matter of money, it's also about some 'unspoken rules' that can't be put on the table.

Of course, there have been many businessmen who uphold the principle that "they are doing serious business and do not need to participate in those 'unspoken rules'". However, the final outcome of these people, without exception, is closed. Because no matter whether their business is thriving or cold, just 'black and white' to ask for all kinds of clever taxes and commissions is enough to crush their indomitable backbone.

It's like the prince's double-day gambling house and Huiyou Building; belonging to the Li family's Qingquan Tea House and Wuli Wine Workshop; The south and north markets belonging to the Yan family clan and so on, etc., the people who receive the numbers of these transactions may not all be these official eunuch families, but the proprietors on the surface are not surprisingly the children of some court officials.

As soon as the sky darkened, Shen Gui and Shan Qingquan, as well as the 'four winter solstice single seedlings', including the fourteenth, gathered in the Li family's study. In front of them, a map of Fengjing was being unfolded, and many marks had been marked on the map with cinnabar pens.

Shen Gui raised his head, looked around at the other five people, and asked again:

"Keep in mind the location of the shop and the mansion, and don't take the wrong road. My own group, the old single group, and the four of you in a group...... Before dawn, no matter how successful or unsuccessful it is, it must be stopped immediately. Lao Dan, I have to give you one more sentence: this operation is mainly to intimidate Yan Day, not to take revenge. Of course, fortunately, Ni Fuzi and the students of Sanbei Academy are attracting everyone's attention on the South Gate Street, and it is not difficult to achieve the effect of being unaware; But once the true colors are revealed, then tonight will be a waste of time. ”

In Shen Gui's opinion, the crown prince Yan Tian was obviously more patient and calm than his dead ghost father. Since his own side is passively attacking, he must first attack Yan Day's psychological defense, so that he is exhausted under the distraught, so that he frequently uses 'faint moves', and finally collapses on his own. He has always acted with this line of thought in dealing with Yan Day.

Today, Yan Day's words and deeds in the past few days seem to show that he has obviously begun to mess with himself.

After listening to this, Shan Qingquan nodded, then looked at the sky that had just been darkened, and said with a little sadness:

"I'm afraid the streets will be much quieter after tonight......"

Today is June 15, Mochizuki. The moon hanging in the sky is like a flawless jade plate, exuding a warm and delicate luster.

There is such an old saying on the Huayu continent: stealing rain does not steal snow, stealing wind does not steal the moon, people who turn off lights do not sleep, coughing must be timid, which is the experience of preventing thieves at night. According to common sense, tonight is a sunny day, and it is the day of the moon, and even the thieves who walk on the cornices will not go out to steal anymore. The reason is also very simple: because if you burglary on the day of looking at the moon, the shadow of the person will be reflected very clearly by the moonlight. Once this happens, no matter what bad things you want to do, you can easily be discovered by the family.

However, this 'anti-thief mantra' passed down from generation to generation did not bring any benefit to those 'imperial merchants' who served in the capital. In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the people of Fengjing opened the street door, they were shocked by the terrifying scene around them:

Today's Fengjing City, where is it still the original prosperous and lively northern capital! Many big traders have their own gold-lettered signboards in front of their doors and on the ground; On the top of the signboard, there is a dead human head in a dignified position! Some of the more daring young students stepped forward to take a look, and found that these heads were all the proprietors of their shops!

The frightened people immediately got together and talked about it, but until noon, no one could come up with a pattern. It's all because these shopkeepers with different heads don't do the same business, and their friendship with each other on weekdays is also related and far-reaching, thin and thick, and their temperaments are even more varied, so it can be said that there is no similarity except for the local businessmen who are doing business.

It was these merchants who couldn't beat each other that they all died in front of their shops on the same night!

Who is the murderer, and how did he commit so many cases at the same time in such a short period of time, without letting a soldier who is looking for the city at night and a husband who watches more knocks see the process of the incident with his own eyes! You know, whether it's killing, beheading, transporting corpses, or picking up boards, none of them can be done easily!

Lord Yin Wei of Fengjing Mansion, who was in charge of this matter, immediately understood in his heart after receiving the return from the soldiers: This is obviously not a vendetta of the rivers and lakes, nor is it a secret dumping by the merchants. Although these merchants who died on the same night seemed to be unable to hit with eight poles, in fact, all the storefronts that had an accident were either the business of the Yan family or the 'intelligence liaison station' outside the Imperial Horse Prison! And in Fengjing City, there are only Li Deng, who has the ability to 'cut down the grass and eradicate the roots overnight', except for the crown prince Yan Tian. He Yan Tian will definitely not clean himself up, so it proves that Li Deng plans to officially show off to Yan Tian because of Wei Gui's death!

Wei Daren, who adheres to this viewpoint, although he does not know what Li Deng's hole cards are, he immediately made a risk-averse reaction: he is seriously ill and bedridden again.

When this matter spread to the harem, it immediately made the future Queen Mother Li Lian panic! Although she is a woman, she has been born since she was a child, and she does have her uniqueness in the complicated situation of the Dongyou Li family and how to see people. Others recognize people and look at the situation, and often pay attention to who has more power, whose means are more ruthless, who has the upper hand, and who has the strongest force; But 'Empress Dowager Li' is unusual, she doesn't look at all these conditions, but only pays attention to who is the most timid, who is the most slippery, and who is the most greedy......

She herself believes that the more daring she is, the better her chances of surviving the catastrophe. She doesn't care about the success or failure on the scene, the gains and losses, and she doesn't care what others think of her. In the heart of this queen mother, whoever can live the longest is the biggest winner.

Adhering to this line of thinking, the queen mother, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, put all her heavy attention on Lord Guardan Hengwei. In her opinion, their Wei family was originally just a groom of the Yan family, and since their family began to count, until now, the descendants of the Wei family are all extremely dangerous and sensitive errands. But a hundred years have passed, and although the official reputation of the Wei family is not very good, at least nothing has gone wrong! It can be seen that their Wei family's sense of danger comes from the talent of the family's bloodline. No matter what big or small things happen in Youbei, as long as this Lord Wei does not shrink back, there will definitely be no big mess; On the contrary, if Master Wei is as sick as he is today, then it proves that Youbei Sanlu is in danger of storm.

Thinking of this, Queen Li Lian couldn't sit still anymore, didn't care about any rules and decency, hurriedly sat on the phoenix chariot and went towards the Dongnuan Pavilion.

Yan Tian, who felt that he had been forced into a corner, finally completely collapsed in the face of the 'only help' of the queen mother! He has lived a life of fine clothes and food since he was a child, and if he makes any trouble on weekdays, he is supported by his father, mother, and maternal uncle. I only need to cry and make trouble, and even if it is a big problem, it will be solved. Now Uncle Ke has been sick for many days and has not seen any guests; And his father has already ascended to Bliss early, and he didn't even drag a dream for himself. It's already a miracle that he only collapsed until today with his own ability!

He never imagined that the position he had dreamed of sitting in would be so dazed and overwhelmed after he really got his wish. When it's really your turn to be completely in charge, all the problems seem to be solved as you like, but no matter how you deal with them, it seems to be wrong...... Now that Ni Xing Ni is here, but he is still carrying two coffins and blocking the South Gate Street outside the palace! The face of the future emperor, who was full of people coming and going in that place every day, had long been lost by those 'scholars'! There is such a thing in front of them, and the people may not understand why for a while, but they know it very well!

This is clearly intimidating yourself! This is they are avenging the Wei family! Didn't you see it, the dead were all the clerks of the Yan family, and the ones who smashed were all the contact points of the Imperial Horse Supervisor! In this way, I really became a little bird in the big cage of the palace, and no matter how much I flew, I couldn't fly out!

"Queen Mother...... You teach me, how should I deal with so much trouble! ”

Yan Tian had already retired from all the idle people, and now in the Dongnuan Pavilion, only himself and his mother were left. He had just cried in his mother's warm arms, and now that the tears had dried up, and his grievances had been temporarily vented, the trouble still had to be solved.

"Day, you're too confused! Can the students of Sanbei Academy be killed casually? That's how you ......."

"Don't talk about it, Queen Mother! I didn't even think about making a big deal out of it! It's all because Liu Zhi's dog slave didn't handle things well, so he made a sesame-sized thing to this point! If you have the skills to get through it, you might as well help me think about how to get through it! ”

Of course, the upset Yan Tian couldn't listen to the preaching. All he was thinking about now was how to get through the current crisis. As long as you let yourself breathe a sigh of relief, you must bite to death those who are against you, one by one!
