It's just that when Li Shimin heard the number "forty taels" from Du Wei's mouth, he was stunned in his heart, and his cheeks were a little stunned.

Forty taels of silver in the Tang Kingdom is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people's families.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is enough for them to use for many years, marry and have children by the way, and there is still a lot left.

Because the prices in Tang are not high.

Of course, the consumption in places such as "Drunken Immortal Building", "Ping Hong Fang" and "Dingyun Fang" cannot be generalized.

But forty taels of silver is indeed not much for a family like Du Xiang, a "first-class important minister of the imperial court", and it is only a year's worth of money.

In Li Shimin's heart, he really couldn't figure it out.

"Isn't it time to lend a large sum of money? Why did Du construct this guy and let him out only forty taels? ”

Li Shimin looked at Du Wei with a strange face.

If ordinary people lent forty taels, Li Shimin would be surprised, but Du Wei is the heir of Du Ruhui, and now he is a court official, so he only lent forty taels......

Li Shimin felt that this matter was a little unreasonable.

However, when Li Shimin recalled it, he immediately understood in his heart.

Before, no matter how much gold and silver he rewarded, although Du Ruhui accepted it, he never kept it for himself, but used it to do good deeds and help the poor people.

Moreover, Du Ruhui, unlike other ministers in the court, did not allow people in the palace to do business.

Therefore, Du Mansion has always been the most impoverished mansion of important ministers.

These can be known without Li Shimin's investigation.

"Hey......" Li Shimin was helpless in his heart, sighed secretly, looked at Du Wei who was kneeling on the ground, waved his hand and said, "That's it, Du Aiqing, you get up and talk back first." ”

“？？？” Du Wei was stunned on the spot.

The saint didn't even scold me? Didn't you get angry and immediately ordered me to be punished? Instead, tell me to get up and talk back?

This...... What exactly is the situation?

Du Wei did not expect that it would be such a harmonious scene.

"Thank you, Holy Ron." After hesitating for half a second, Du Wei got up obediently, but after he got up, he kept his head down, his face full of shame.

It was Li Yi who had already expected Li Shimin's reaction, but he didn't say anything, but remained silent.

The matter of "lending", since Li Shimin asked Du to talk back, then it will definitely not be very serious.

Sure enough.

After a moment of silence, Li Shimin did not ask Du Gou on the spot, but asked with concern: "Du Aiqing, how has your father recovered recently?" ”

"My father is doing well at the moment, Wei Chen is acting as my father, thank you for your concern." Du Wei hurriedly replied with his fists clenched.

"Hmm." Li Shimin nodded, looked at Du Wei twice, and then changed the topic, "Du Aiqing, in the matter of lending, you should resign from your official position, and also, go and take back the money you lent, don't harm the people, otherwise, I will definitely not spare you!" ”

"Uh......" Du Wei was stunned on the spot, and almost didn't come back to his senses.

He originally thought that he would definitely be severely punished and scolded by Li Shimin, but now the result is that Du Gou is dumbfounded.

It was completely different from what he had imagined.

Resign from his official position, and then take back the silver taels, is this the end of the matter?

Didn't the Holy One punish himself extraordinarily?

Du Gou's face was full of incredulity.

Just as he was about to thank him, Li Yi suddenly clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Holy Lord, Weichen feels that this matter should not be as simple as it seems, and Weichen suspects that behind this matter...... Someone is manipulating it in the shadows. ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin looked at Li Yi slightly stunned, with a solemn expression, "Li Aiqing, how can you see it?" ”

"Saint, Wechen is only skeptical in his heart now, and there is no conclusive evidence yet, but Wechen believes that there should be evidence soon." Li Yi did not hesitate, and told Li Shimin what he thought in his heart one by one.

At the same time, the name "Dongfeng Pavilion Ten Mile Street: Tong Can" also appeared in Li Shimin's ears.

What kind of place is Dongfeng Pavilion and Shili Street in Chang'an City, Li Shimin also knows in his heart.

It's a mixed land.

Once, Li Shimin also heard Yuan Tiangang say that someone on Shili Street secretly lent money, but the previous amount was not large, and there were no accidents, so Li Shimin did not take care of it.

If it weren't for today's incident, Li Shimin wouldn't have thought of it.

The reason why he asked Li Yi to establish a fish and dragon gang in secret was to use the means of black to eat black to turn Dongfeng Pavilion Shili Street into a good place in order.

After Li Yi said this, Li Shimin's cheeks were slightly stunned, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring the agreement and let me take a look." ”

"Yes, Holy." Du Wei didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly handed the agreement to Gonggong Gao, and then it reached Li Shimin's hands.

Li Shimin took the agreement from Gonggong Gao, looked at it carefully, and listened to Li Yi's opinion just now, and he also found out about it...... It's getting a little different.

Because this agreement itself is strangely signed!

Tang Guo is trustworthy, even if he signs an agreement, he will only sign one person's name, and will not sign the big words "Du Xianggong's Mansion is on the big lang, Du Gou".

Obviously, the deal was signed strangely.

Moreover, on the agreement, there is also Du Wei's autograph, as well as his handprint.

Even if Du wanted to quibble, it would be impossible.

"Huh......" Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin frowned.

At this moment, he had already dared to be sure in his heart that Du Gou's loan this time must have fallen into the hands of others and was treated as a chess piece.

Its purpose is to use it against Li Shimin!

At this moment, the guards outside the palace of the imperial study walked straight in, clasped their fists and saluted: "Qiqi Sheng, the Yue'er girl next to the concubine is now outside the palace, saying that there is something important to report." ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Let her in." ”

"Yes." The guards hurried away.

This time, when he heard that Yue'er had something important to report, not only Li Shimin was surprised in his heart, but even Du Wei was a little surprised in his heart.

Only Li Yi knew in his heart that if there was no major event, Yue'er would definitely not come here.

Since Yue'er is here, then she must have investigated the reason for Du Go's 'lending'.

Not long after, Yue'er walked in from outside the hall.

While looking at Li Yi, Yue'er's face had a smug smile, revealing a 'Son, is Yue'er good?' Li Yi wanted to laugh a little.

"Silly girl, this is the palace study, give me something serious." Li Yi gave a look.

Yue'er nodded slightly, then returned to her normal color, and bowed to Li Shimin, "Slave Yue'er, see the saint, the saint Wan'an." ”

"No courtesy." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand, he still had some good feelings for Yue'er.

After all, at the beginning, in the competition with the Dongying people, Yue'er was a woman who did not let her eyebrows shave, and fiercely suppressed the arrogance of the Dongying people.

Moreover, Li Shimin also specially sealed Yue'er the official position of a female guard for this reason.

But obviously, Yue'er didn't take the position of a female guard official seriously, because she called herself a 'slave family'.

"Thank you, Holy Lord." Yue'er bowed in thanks again before getting up, and then took out several rubbing agreements directly from her sleeve.

"Holy Lord, this is evidence that the slave family got from Tong Can, and the slave family has also found it out." Yue'er said bluntly, "This time, Du Fengyu is on the Wang family's job. ”

"The Wang family?" As soon as Yue'er's words came out, everyone in the imperial study was slightly stunned.

Except for Du Wei, Li Shimin and Li Yi were not surprised, they just nodded secretly, as if they had expected this result for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly looked at Yue'er, "Yue'er, give the evidence to your father-in-law, and then tell me everything you know." ”

"Yes." Yue'er nodded, handed over the evidence to Grandpa Gao, and then told all the things she had seen today.

In the imperial study, there was a sudden silence.

However, after listening to Yue'er's words, Du Wei suddenly felt that his head was confused.

There is even some lack of oxygen.

"How is this possible? How so? I, Du Gou, have always been wise and unparalleled, but I was actually used as a gun? Du Wei trembled slightly in his heart, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

Before, he once confidently thought that he was completely fine with 'lending', but now he came to Li Shimin to ask for guilt, which not only delayed him making money, but also made him lose his position.

However, when he heard Yue'er's words, Du Wei suddenly found that he seemed to have caused a big disaster and had a big deal.

And it's not ordinary.

"Once the people in the entire Chang'an City know about it, then his father will definitely know about it, maybe...... Father will really get angry! ”

Thinking of this, Du Wei panicked in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards Li Yi, full of pleading for help.

"......" Li Yi sighed angrily and ignored Du Wei.

But seeing that it was hopeless to ask Li Yi for help, Du Gou hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down, and pleaded guilty to Li Shimin on the dragon chair: "Shengshang, all this is Weichen's fault, all the faults are Weichen, it's not about my father's business, please also ask the Shengshang to investigate." ”

At this moment, Du Wei was really scared in his heart.

Although he has always liked to live this kind of gentlemanly life on weekdays, and he goes out to wave from time to time, but once it is related to Du Ruhui's life and reputation, Du Gou is immediately afraid.

He went out to wave on weekdays, at least he didn't ruin Du Ruhui's reputation.

After all, there are a lot of gentlemen in Chang'an City, and going to places like Pingkangfang is a source of happiness for them to compare every day.

But now things are completely different.

Because this time, it is directly related to Du Ruhui's reputation!

In Du Wei's heart, he completely regretted the loan.

"If I had known, where would I have done such a stupid thing? Wang family, you dogs, all of them are waiting for me to see how I clean you up in the future! ”

While Du Wei regretted it in his heart, he also secretly swore in his heart.

If he doesn't take revenge, he won't be Du Go!

When Li Shimin saw Du Gou like this, he felt that it was a good thing, at least after this incident, Du Gou could change.

After all, Du Gou and these people are all the heirs of his old subordinates, and they must be more loyal than others.

"Okay, I know about this, I have my own sense of proportion." Li Shimin waved his hand, looked at Li Yi and the others, and said loudly, "You guys should retreat." ”

"Holy ......"

Du Wei also wanted to pray to Li Shimin, but Li Yi saw that he didn't even have the strength to see this, so he immediately raised the decibel and said loudly: "Yes, Holy Lord, Weichen retires!" ”

"......" Du Wei endured the panic in his heart and retreated with Li Yi.

Then, Du Gou, together with Li Yi and Yue'er, went back to the Gongfu.

Li Shimin in the imperial study, but when he saw that the figures of Li Yi and the others had already walked away, his face instantly lowered.

looked at Gonggong Gao, and at the same time handed over the rubbings of the agreement in his hand, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and ordered: "Tell this matter to the bad handsome, remember, this matter must be done cleanly and beautifully!" ”

"Yes, Holy." It was difficult for Gonggong Gao to see Li Shimin so expressionless, and he was stunned in his heart.

Because he knew that Li Shimin was really angry this time, and the anger in his heart was very strong.

Without any hesitation, Gao Gonggong turned around and personally took the agreement rubbing, and went to the mysterious organization of the Tang Kingdom, the Heavenly Master's Mansion!

The Heavenly Master's Mansion, that is, the gate of the mansion where Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng stayed in the imperial court.

Others only know that this is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but what they don't know is that the Heavenly Master's Mansion ...... In fact, it's a bad house!

It is precisely because Father-in-law Gao is Li Yi's close confidant, and he has followed him for many years, and he has always been loyal, so Li Shimin handed over this matter to Father-in-law Gao.

After all, now, few people will know that there are still bad people in Tang Kingdom!

"Clan Wang? Before, I have always been with you openly, but I didn't expect that this time, you would dare to attack my old ministers in the dark! ”

Li Shimin looked out of the door, gritted his teeth lightly, and sneered in his heart, "Since this is the case, then this time, your Wang family will be destroyed!" ”

……

On the way out of the palace, Du Wei's mind was still full of worry at the moment.

However, when he saw Li Yi smiling on his face, and while walking, he kept talking and laughing with Yue'er, and suddenly the whole person was in a bad mood.

"Third brother, you say...... Today's matter, my father, he ...... Will you know? Du Gou asked with a stupid face.

As for the latter sentence, whether his father will be angry and sick, Du Wei has no face to say.

In fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, and he was panicked at the moment.

Li Yi glanced at Du Gou and said angrily: "Ergou, do you know that you regret it now?" But in this world, is there any regret medicine for sale? ”

"No ......" Du Wei shrank his head stupidly, "Third brother, this time, I really know that I am wrong, don't use words to ridicule me." ”

While answering, Du Wei and Li Yi distanced themselves, and he was afraid that Li Yi would hit him again.

And this matter is indeed his fault, his fault.

If it weren't for his greed, this wouldn't have happened today.

However, after experiencing this, Du Wei is now really wise and wise.

Seeing Du Gou showing such a helpless look, Li Yi also saw that Du Gou really knew his mistake this time, and as for whether he repented or not, Li Yi was not clear.

"Wait, anyway, now that you have been demoted to a commoner, it is only a matter of time before Uncle Du will know about it."

While speaking, Li Yi thought of a good idea to test Du Wei, and asked with a smile, "Ergou, in the future, you will go to Zheng An to help, how about it?" ”

"Ahh Du Wei was taken aback.

Obviously, he didn't expect that Li Yi would suddenly say this to him.

As for Li Yi's purpose, Du Wei was a little unclear.

"Ah what, do it or not, just one word, why are you so inked?" Li Yi looked at Du Wei angrily.

"I'll do it!" Du Wei nodded with a sad face.

"Well, I'll go and tell Zheng An about this, tomorrow, you can go." After throwing down this sentence, Li Yi didn't bother with Du Wei, but continued to laugh with Yue'er.

"Oh..."Du Wei nodded in response, but looking at Li Yi's posture, he had no intention of talking to him, so it was better to be silent alone.

Not long after, Li Yi, Yue'er and others returned home, but Li Yi found that there was no figure of Du Xiaomei in the hospital.

"Hey, what about the little girl? Aren't you going home? Li Yi was a little puzzled in his heart.

After all, Du Xiaomei promised him to stay in the house honestly, but now there is no one.
