said that there was an urgent matter in the house, Li Qing couldn't talk to anyone else, so he flew to rush there.

A group of guards rushed out of Hanguang Gate, only to see his housekeeper Zhang Wang leading several family members to argue with the soldiers guarding the city gate, his face was red and his neck was thick, and his feet jumped straight in a hurry.

Li Qing immediately shouted angrily, "Zhang Wang, what are you doing!" His face immediately became gloomy, the imperial city is the administrative heart of a country, how can anyone enter it? The soldier did not teach him to look in his own face, but he did not know what to do.

Since he became a household waiter, some of his old family members began to get a little carried away, Zhang Wang bought a hundred acres of fertile land at a very low price in his hometown, and it is said that the coachman Lao Yu also raised two women outside, these things are also known to the curtain, but she is too nostalgic and indulges them.

Zhang Wang suddenly saw Li Qing, he hurriedly crawled over, and said with a crying voice: "Master, there was a gang of ruffians who came to make trouble in the afternoon, smashing the stone lion and the gate in front of the door.

"Light rain!?"

Li Qingzong immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Wang's shirt, and yelled: "Say it quickly!" How is the second lady? ”

"The second lady was hit on the head by a flowing stone and is still unconscious."

Li Qing's brain was 'buzzing! With a bang, the news of Xiaoyu's injury made his eyes red, he whipped the horse's buttocks violently, the war horse neighed, rushed out, and in the wind, he heard Zhang Wang's stammering shout: "Master! There's also a big incident in the West Market, so let's hurry over. ”

Li Qing suddenly grabbed the reins, and he immediately reacted, this is the enemy of the new salt law has already begun to move, and he is using the most despicable means to attack his relatives.

At this moment, his mind became extremely calm, and there were only a handful of people who knew that the salt law was drafted by himself, and it was only two days after the salt law was launched, and someone leaked the secret, who could this person be? Li Longji, Gao Lishi, Li Jiao, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, Li Linfu, a sneer slowly appeared on Li Qing's face, 'Li Linfu! It could only be him.

"Governor, are we going to Xishi or going home?" Li Fei Yuanli in the back rushed up and asked.

Li Qing raised his hand and ordered in a low voice: "Li Fei Shouyu!" ”

"Dudu, I'm here!"

Li Qing's face was pale, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said word by word: "You take a hundred brothers back to my house first, if anyone comes to make trouble, you will drive me away with a wooden stick, if you can't drive away, those who dare to do it again will kill me!" ”

After speaking, he urged the horse, and the war horse galloped out, and after a long time, his cold voice came from afar: "The rest of the brothers will go to the West Market with me!" ”

.

In the West Market, Li Qing's shop has been turned upside down inside and outside, thousands of Chang'an citizens who don't know the truth have smashed the inside and outside of the store, and the Shu brocade and silk worth nearly 10,000 guan have been looted.

"It was the proprietor of this shop who made the price of salt and rice skyrocket, and everyone burned this shop!" A tall, thin man hissed and shouted from the periphery.

"We want rice to feed our families! We're going to eat salt! Several people were yelling along.

.

"Burn them!" The furious crowd pushed the men into the shop, and the excitement of the crowd had been stirred to the extreme, like a burning powder keg, ready to explode at any moment, and someone had already lit a torch and threw it into the courtyard wall.

At this moment, the sound of dense iron hooves sounded loudly in the distance, like thunder rolling through the sky, and a group of black-pressed cavalry galloped on the empty Xishi Street, still a thousand steps away, and the cold murderous aura was already blowing in the face.

"Run! Officers and soldiers came. The crowd erupted in a frightened cry, people stumbled and fled, nearby shops gloating one after another, and dozens of officials were even more panicked, neither fleeing nor staying.

Before the crowd could disperse, Li Qing's two hundred iron horsemen had already roared, blocking all the exits, and hundreds of people still rushed out desperately, and were whipped by the soldiers, knocking over dozens of them, and falling to the ground rolling and crying.

"Rush them all to the courtyard and check them one by one!" Li Qing looked at the smashed shop and the guy with blood on his face, his heart was really hot for the first time, and he didn't give them some color to see, he really thought he was a sick cat!

He suddenly caught a glimpse of a tall and thin man in a corner of the wall, with the help of several people, who was about to escape over the wall, he sneered, pointed his horsewhip, and ordered: "Arrest those people for me and detain them alone!" ”

A dozen horsemen flew by, dragging the tall man and several of his accomplices into the compound like chickens.

"Li Shilang, what are you doing here?"

When he saw the cavalry waving their horsewhips and driving the crowd into the compound of the store, he couldn't help but exclaim: "They are all ordinary people, what are you doing arresting them?" ”

"What ordinary people." Li Qing whipped at the smashed shop and said angrily: "Would ordinary people do such a thing? It's clearly a mob. ”

The executive hurriedly explained: "Li Shilang, they also have no choice, now the price of salt in Chang'an has skyrocketed from the original 151 buckets to 141 buckets overnight, an increase of nearly ten times, and the price of rice has also risen, to 10 buckets per bucket, so we are angry to come." ”

Hearing that the price of rice and salt had risen, Li Qing's anger disappeared slightly, he exhaled a vicious breath, and said in a soothing tone as much as possible: "Of course, if there are really innocent people, I will naturally let them go, but if they smash my shop, they will compensate me for all my losses, and then release them!" ”

He approached

looked at him gloomily, and sneered continuously: "But you came to smash the store and hurt people for the chief official of the West City, but you ignored it and stood by, could it be that you instigated it?" ”

The agent was so frightened that he took a step back, waved his hand again and again, and said in a panic: "Li Shilang Hugh wants to frame me, this is not a casual joke, how can I instruct someone to smash the store and hurt people, this, this, where to start." ”

Li Qing saw that although he denied it, his expression was flustered, obviously he had something to hide from him, at this time, Li Fei Yuanli came over and grinned: "Dudu, those people have confessed, they are.

He was just about to continue, when he suddenly found Li Qing's eyes, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed the second half of the sentence, and then turned his mouth and smiled proudly: "My method of interrogating people is well-known in the Western Regions, and no matter how tough a man is, he can't stand a pillar of incense kung fu in my hands, not to mention a few little thieves." ”

Li Qing waved his hand and ordered him to stop, then he turned back and said coldly to the signing order: "I don't care if you instruct it or not, but your dereliction of duty is a fact, you can't wear this official hat, go to the ministry and explain it yourself!" Don't let me impeach you. ”

After that, he turned around and walked towards the compound, but the commander followed him, his expression was embarrassed, and he said: "Li Shilang, I don't want to take care of it, it's really a matter of suppressing the words from above, and I can't do it!" ”

"Above?"

Li Qing stopped, the city bureau is subordinate to Taifu Temple, isn't the new Shaoqing of Taifu Temple Yang Guozhong? In fact, he didn't say anything about the order, and he also knew that Yang Guozhong intervened.

"There you go! I'll spare you this time, but my loss this time is too big, it is estimated that I will lose a group of old customers, I don't care what method you use, you must ensure my source of customers, otherwise, I will count the old account and the new account together. ”

"Yes! Be! As if he had been granted amnesty, he turned around and ran away with dozens of officials.

When he walked away, Li Qingcai looked back at Li Fei Yuanli, and said with a smile: "Say it!" What did you ask? ”

.

It was already dark, and the rain began to fall again, dripping, fine as a needle, dripping on the face, making people feel unusually cold and uncomfortable, a carriage under the escort of a dozen entourages, turned from the corner of the street, in the carriage, Yang Guozhong closed his eyes, and was proudly holding Xiaoqu, he had just returned from King Qing's mansion, today was the second time he went, yesterday he went to retrieve two beautiful concubines, and today he got King Qing's promise to guarantee his son's meeting list, of course, there is no lunch in the world, Yang Guozhong has promised King Qing, He will do everything in his power to prevent the implementation of the new salt law.

The carriage he sat in was also a gift from King Qing, with exquisite decoration and luxurious decoration, plus the carriage was wide and comfortable, which made Yang Guo loyal to it.

Early this morning, King Qing's henchman Jia Hai came to tell him that there would be an operation in the West Market today, and ordered him to tell the city bureau not to stop him.

The operation in the West Market should be over, but Yang Guozhong didn't know what the result was, just now in the Qingwang Mansion, he forgot to ask.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion, he found through the window that there were more than a dozen knights standing under a big tree next to him, "Stop!" He suddenly saw clearly that the person in charge was Li Qing.

"What is Brother Xian doing in the rain? If you have something to do with me, why don't you go into the house and wait. "I opened the door and greeted me with a smile.

Li Qing has been waiting here for nearly an hour, and finally waited for Yang Guozhong, and at this moment, Li Fei Yuanli's words still echoed in his mind:

Jing.

It's the underworld again, after Li Qing left Chengdu, he never heard this word again, but unexpectedly, just when Yang Guozhong was about to implement the salt policy, the shadow of the underworld appeared again.

But time has changed, he has no interest in fighting with the underworld, and now, a small underworld is easier for him than pinching an ant to death.

But he couldn't think much about it, Yang Guozhong appeared in front of him, Li Qing looked at him, and suddenly smiled faintly: "The clan, relatives, and concubines, if they are not close relatives, they don't have to pay back, Yang Cheng runs to Qingwangfu every day, isn't he afraid of being impeached?" ”

Li Qing's sudden words frightened Yang Guozhong, this is the original words he just quoted in the impeachment of Tai, although the unspoken rule of this sentence now only applies to Tai, but who has to be more serious, seeing other princes is actually not allowed.

"Xian, Xian, you're joking!" Yang Guozhong's tone stammered a little.

"How is this a joke?" Li Qing took a fold in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "I plan to report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully tomorrow." ”

"Virtuous brother, make an offer! How can you not report this to Your Majesty? "One of Yang Guozhong's biggest advantages is that he is refreshing, he doesn't procrastinate in talking and doing things, and he gets straight to the point, he knows that since Li Qing opens his mouth to himself, he must have a conditional exchange.

Li Qing jumped off the horse and slowly walked in front of him, "Actually, my conditions are very simple, there is an underworld active in the East City area, called the East City Gang, they dare to assassinate me, since you are also Jing Zhao Shaoyin, then I will give you three days to destroy this gang for me, and the money and goods seized must first make up for my losses." ”

He saw Yang Guozhong muttering praises, so he reminded him loudly. "Remember, it will take three days at the latest, otherwise, this book will soon appear on the emperor's table."
