Smuggling is a common occurrence in Datang, after all, no matter how tightly the border is blocked, it is impossible to be weatherless. In this Tang Dynasty society, where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, if it is said that there is no smuggling team in that wealthy family, I am afraid that they themselves will not believe it.

But in general, this kind of thing is still in a tacit state, and His Majesty Li Er knows very well what his subordinates have done, but he just doesn't bother to pay attention to it when no one exposes it.

And those wealthy families also know that such a thing is their fault, usually smuggling something out, even if it is robbed, it will not be quiet, if there is ability, it will be recovered, and those who are not able will often consider themselves unlucky.

Li Chengqian is also very clear about the doorway here, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when the old man is pretending to be confused, he naturally won't care about such a thing.

But what he never expected was that today, the eldest grandson would take the initiative to ask him for help, intending to ask Li Chengqian to come forward to help get back the lost things, which shows that the things that were robbed this time are probably worth a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said tentatively: "Uncle, if something is not very valuable, if you lose it, you can lose it." It's not that my nephew won't help, it's really a long way to go, and I handed over all the Western Regions Legions, and I can't help if I want to. ”

Seeing that Li Chengqian's refusal was not resolute, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "Gao Ming, you have been operating in the Western Regions for many years, and there will always be some old people, right?" Say hello to my uncle, as long as you can get all the things back, how about we settle the money you borrowed from me? ”

"Uncle, what is the caravan being robbed?" Li Chengqian's expression became serious, and his brows furrowed tightly.

As mentioned above, Li Chengqian's intermittent loan of money and goods from his eldest grandson Wuji is probably not less than 1.5 million yuan, and now this old guy is willing to pay off both, which is enough to show the importance of being robbed of these things.

The eldest grandson Wuji also knew that he had just lost his words, but he also knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Li Chengqian, the little fox, was afraid that he wouldn't help at all, so after a little hesitation, he said: "Steel crossbow!" ”

"What!" Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, and asked urgently: "Are you talking about the active equipment of the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Originally, I came up with a batch of strong bows, but I didn't expect that the treasury made a mistake." Li Chengqian's reaction did not exceed the eldest grandson Wuji's expectations, and after pressing him back into the chair, the eldest grandson explained a little helplessly.

For the time being, in addition to the loss on the battlefield, Datang's strong crossbow does not have any complete finished products flowing out of the army at all, and now the eldest grandson Wuji has lost a large number of them outside Datang, not to mention what kind of crime it is to smuggle ordnance, just technical leakage is enough to kill the head.

What's more, it is the time when Li Chengqian and the family are in an all-out war, and if this kind of pigtail is caught by the family, it is very likely to become Comrade Li's weakness. Threatening Li Chengqian to retract all his actions with the survival of the eldest grandson's family, those families are not unable to do it.

The eldest grandson Wuji is the favorite of His Majesty Li Er, and he is also the eldest brother of the eldest grandson empress, if he is folded into it because of Li Chengqian's willful behavior, what kind of 'miserable' Comrade Li's future will be can be inferred with his toes.

Li Chengqian, who had figured all this out in the blink of an eye, couldn't wait to smash the tea cup in his hand on the head of the eldest grandson old fox, and secretly gritted his teeth for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Do you know who did it?" Are there any people who have been sent to live? ”

"The caravan all disappeared on the third day after leaving the Jade Gate, as if they had never made it out, and the people who waited for Gaochang to receive them waited for ten more days, and after waiting for no news, they tried to search along the way, but in the end to no avail." The eldest grandson Wuji said it in detail, but it was of no use to Li Chengqian.

Although the Western Regions are nominally the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's control over it is not so strong, and if you really want to say it, the Tang Dynasty is at most the largest force in the Western Regions, not the ruler.

Therefore, the Western Regions has always been a mixture of dragons and snakes, the Western Turks, the Tuhun people, the Tiele people, the Xue Yantuo people, and the Hui people...... The list goes on and on.

Therefore, the things were lost outside the gate, and many forces there were likely to be involved, and even if they were to look for it, it would be difficult to find it now. Such an important armament, no matter who robbed it, will not admit it, the small forces will take it to destroy, the big forces may take it back and imitate it, and there will always be no leakage of news.

However, for the sake of secrecy, this kind of thing cannot be visited on a large scale, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of tracing it. Faced with such a situation, the eldest grandson Wuji was really helpless, so he came to Li Chengqian, hoping to get some help from him.

And the purpose of the eldest grandson is not to want Li Chengqian to help him find things, but to want him to raise his hand at the right time, not to fight to the death with those families, and finally cause him to become a victim of this incident.

A deep sense of helplessness rose from the bottom of my heart, and a feeling of exhaustion filled my body. After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Chengqian only felt bored, and finally couldn't help but slam the tea cup on the table, and said angrily: "Someone!" ”

"The minister is here!" Feeling Li Chengqian's anger, the guards outside the door pushed the door in.

"Order Kuroko, mobilize all the manpower of the 'six groups' and 'seven groups', and give the palace all the efforts to investigate the movements of all the forces in the Western Regions in the past three months, and investigate all the caravans that have left the customs within half a year, and sort out all the numbers and goods lists." Li Chengqian was really angry this time, and rarely used all the intelligence systems under his subordinates.

Now, he has every reason to suspect that the smuggling business of the eldest grandson Wuji is being targeted by some forces in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it would never have been possible to make a mistake in such a critical period.

There are many mixed forces of dragons and snakes in the Western Regions, but Li Chengqian never believes that other foreign forces dare to touch the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, especially the smuggling caravan is an existence that the aliens are afraid of.

The reason is extremely simple, because those alien races are afraid of the Tang Dynasty, even if they have a thief's heart, they don't dare to move, they don't dare to move ordinary caravans, and they don't dare to move smuggling caravans with a strong background.

Therefore, Li Chengqian deduced that the disappearance of the smuggling caravan under the eldest grandson Wuji must be inextricably linked with some forces in the Tang Dynasty, and even if the forces in the Tang Dynasty did not make a move, there must be their shadow behind this matter.

After feeling the threat from within Datang, with the principle of not letting go of the mistake, Comrade Xiao Li mobilized the six and seven teams at the same time, and only waited for the results of the investigation to come out, and killed them by thunderous means.
