Chapter 532: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

Xu Mingzhu's tears made Li Su feel a little stressed.

He was also anxious, anxious to find out the instructions behind the scenes, and he read the various news from Chang'an City word by word, trying to find clues from it, even if there was a trace of connection, he refused to let go.

At present, the only valuable case is the murder case of the Qi Wangfu, but this case is a headless unsolved case, and it is not seen to have any connection with the assassination of Taiping Village, and more importantly, Li Su can't think of the reason and motive for the King of Qi to deal with him, in his opinion, he did not offend the King of Qi, when the King of Qi wanted the secret recipe of movable type printing, he gave it very happily, even if the King of Qi is ungrateful to him, he should not take his things and deal with him, this thing does not make sense.

Li Su once thought that he had seen the light of day, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the matter was still at an impasse, unless another more valuable clue appeared.

"Husband, is this matter related to King Qi?"

In the quiet room, Xu Mingzhu sniffed, and the redness and swelling in her eyes had not disappeared.

Li Su smiled bitterly: "I still can't see how it has anything to do with King Qi, but I just think that the murder case in King Qi's Mansion is a bit strange......"

"It must be the King of Qi." Xu Mingzhu's tone was affirmative.

Li Suqi said: "Why is Madam so sure? ”

"Because King Qi is not a good person!" Xu Mingzhu is categorical.

This assertion ...... Well, it makes sense.

"Husband, the mastermind behind the assassination of Ah Weng and the wounding of Uncle Fang...... Is it a big deal? If the husband is up to them, will it affect the husband? ”

Li Su looked at her with interest: "If it will affect me, what do you think our family should do?" ”

Xu Mingzhu was silent for a moment and said, "If Fujun will be implicated, it is better to ...... Bear with this, my husband is the backbone of our family. Although he was appointed as the marquis of the county at a young age, there are many powerful people in Chang'an City, either the prince or the prince, these gate valves have been in business for many years, and the forces under the door are already behemoths, and the husband is on them. I'm afraid that if I don't please him, I will hurt my husband. ”

Li Su said with a smile: "I can't see that Madame's ability to judge the situation is not ordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary women to have such knowledge." ”

Xu Mingzhu sighed and said, "The concubine was originally uninformed, but she has been married to her husband for a few years, and she has heard and seen it on weekdays, and she has learned a little bit from her husband and knows the importance of the matter......

Raising his head to look at Li Su, Xu Mingzhu said with a straight face: "Husband." If you can't do anything, don't do it, endure this breath, first find out who is behind it, and wait until the day when the husband is crowned the king and worships the prime minister, or when our Li family has a deep foundation, it is not too late to avenge today's revenge, with the husband's ability. The concubine believes that she can't wait many years. ”

Li Su smiled, shook his head and said, "Madam does have more knowledge. I also learned to judge the situation, but Madame was wrong just now......"

"The concubine is wrong?"

"This matter is no longer just as simple as assassinating my father, the matter has been spread, and it is estimated that Chang'an City knows it, and now the powerful people of the entire Chang'an City are looking at me. Look at how I deal with it, if I choose to swallow my anger, it's good, the whole Chang'an knows that our Li family is a soft persimmon, so from now on, this will be pinched. That one to pinch, a few years later, even if I really worship the king, in the eyes of the Chang'an magnates, I am still a soft persimmon, the Li family is still not on the stage, the people of the Li family go out, wherever they go, they will be looked down upon, and in the future, the descendants of the Li family will not be able to raise their heads wherever they go, and others will point to him and say, 'Look, this is the person of the Li family, when his father was still a county marquis, he was bullied, and he didn't dare to put a fart, and the family's cowardice'......"

Xu Mingzhu's eyes widened in astonishment, she really didn't think about it so far, and she didn't expect her husband to raise this matter to such a height, but it still makes sense after thinking about it carefully.

"Madam, since I have entered the court, my every move represents our Li family, if I coax, our Li family is cowardly in the eyes of outsiders, and the descendants of the Li family will resent me for the rest of my life and be ashamed of me, not to mention ......"

Li Su said, his tone suddenly became cold: "What's more, assassinating my father, this is the biggest hatred in the world, this revenge is not shared, as an Angzang man, is there any reason not to repay this revenge?" If I swallow my anger, how will I see my father? ”

*************************************************************************

The news continued to spread from Chang'an City to Taiping Village, and Li Su gave Wang Zhi a death order, and he must dig out the people behind the scenes, at all costs. Therefore, Wang Zhi has been arranging deployments in Chang'an City day and night these days, and the idlers under his command have gone to the sky and the earth, drilling everywhere, and the intensity is greater than when the incident occurred.

Not only that, the Li family's liquor and perfume business was temporarily stopped, the secret recipe was still in Li Su's hands, Li Su was not worthy of spirits and perfume, the two workshops were empty, and daily production was completely suspended.

The profits of the two businesses are huge, in recent years, the eldest grandson family and the Cheng family have obtained great benefits from it, and the stalls have also been spread, there are three partnership shops in the entire Guanzhong area, and the two workshops have been expanding continuously in recent years, working overtime every day to produce, and the output is still in short supply.

This time Li Sumeng stopped work, the eldest grandson and the Cheng family waited patiently for three days, and finally couldn't sit still, not only the chain of interests was suddenly broken, but more importantly, after the supply was cut off, the shopkeepers around the country have surrounded the workshop, and they shouted for goods every day, and some shopkeepers even went directly to the door of the mansion of the eldest grandson and the Cheng family to sit quietly, posing as a hob meat, if you want to kill or chop casually, anyway, the spirits and perfume are out of stock, and I can't afford to support the family and my buddies, and I can't survive......

Li Su took a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and things gradually got bigger, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin couldn't sit still.

As the head of the family, in fact, they rarely ask about the business of the family, and the business affairs are not on the table, and when they reach the status of the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin, if they still ask how much income the family has every day, it is too unseemly, but this time, there are a lot of people sitting at the door of their own house, and they have to shout at the door every day, "let one let, let one go", and if this continues, the two families have become a joke in Chang'an City.

The two heads of the family were very angry, and their anger was all directed at Li Su, so three days later, Cheng Chumo led a group of generals from the Cheng Mansion and put Li Su into Chang'an City half invited and half hostaged.

…………

Cheng family.

Cheng Yanjin was wearing a green silk robe, which looked like a green succulent plant that could walk around from a distance, and people couldn't help but think that today's Cheng family's banquet was based on the theme of green environmental protection.

Wine is good wine, food is delicacies, but it's a pity that there is no good feast.

Cheng Biting Jin's face was black, he took a sip of wine from his cup, put down the cup and glared at Li Su viciously, and then took another sip from the cup, with a posture of treating him as a drink.

The eldest grandson Wuji was expressionless, and he drank very slowly, and he bit Jin Siwen more than Cheng, and after taking a shallow sip, he glanced at Li Su with oblique eyes, and his eyes were very unkind.

Li Su stood in the front hall and laughed dryly, feeling like a ...... being targeted by wolves Cute little bunny?

"Don't bother with it, say, boy, what do you mean? There are no heads and no brains to cut off the goods, two transactions, among the three of us, you account for the most shares, and you are the one who loses the most out of stock, does your Li family have a grudge against money? Cheng Biting Jin grinned, his mouth full of white teeth emitting a cold light.

"Uncle Cheng, the eldest grandson and uncle forgive the sins, the kid is not sensible, and he has caused trouble to the two elders, even if Brother Cheng doesn't invite the kid to come, the kid plans to come to the door to make amends to the two elders......" Li Su's attitude was very humble.

The eldest grandson Wuji snorted coldly, ignored him, and drank himself from the cup.

Cheng Biting Jin was more angry, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, just say the reason!" Did the old man and the eldest grandson offend you? ”

Li Su waved at the two of them, and said with a wry smile: "It has nothing to do with the two elders, it is the reason for the boy, a few days ago, the boy's father was attacked in Taiping Village, and the two elders must also know that the assassins have a total of more than 20 people besieging my father, fortunately, a loyal and righteous tribe of my family desperately protected it, so as to protect my father's integrity, after the incident, the Li family tribe rushed to the rescue and killed a group, and the remaining assassins saw that there was no hope of escape, and they all drew their swords and killed themselves......"

Cheng Yanjin and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, their expressions a little solemn.

Li Su sighed: "Judging from the style of the assassin, after the defeat of the decisive, this decisive and ruthless, obviously not an ordinary ranger, but a dead soldier raised by a powerful family, the government can not find any clues from their corpses, the one who can afford to raise so many dead soldiers is obviously not an ordinary magnate, the kid does not know when and what offended the commander behind the scenes, and there is no clue in this case, and there is no result in the investigation for many days, it will become an unsolved case, this blow will not succeed, the other party will not give up, there will be a second time in the future, The third time, the kid is a person who is afraid of things, so he can only start from himself and reflect on whether he has offended others in any way, or blocked the way of others' wealth......"

Cheng Yanjin snorted and said, "So, you stopped buying and selling spirits and perfumes?" ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "It's the kid's fault, it's just that this matter has endangered the safety of the kid and his family, the kid has to deal with it carefully, stopped the spirits and perfumes, and is worried about whether his own business has offended people, after all, the kid has been honest since he returned to Chang'an, and he has never caused trouble, and his own business can make money only these two things, and the kid suspects that it is likely that these two transactions have inadvertently offended people......"

Cheng Yanjin slapped the table case and said angrily: "This is the business of the three of us!" All three have a share! It's not that the old man is talking crazy things, looking inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, the people who dare to offend my Cheng family and the eldest grandson's family at the same time haven't been born yet! ”

Li Su sighed: "The young man naturally doesn't dare to offend you and the eldest grandson, but the kid is different, I'm just a small county marquis, and the Li family is not a family gate, it can be said that there is no foundation, others don't dare to offend you, and they don't dare to offend the kid......"

Cheng Biting Jin was about to continue to say something, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who had not said a word for a long time, suddenly smiled.

Pointing at Li Su, the eldest grandson Wuji said sympathetically: "Boy, if you have something to say, don't go around, Cheng Lao Pifu is a brave and unscrupulous person, the old man is not, you are still a little tender in front of the old man." ”
