"The eldest prince, you are back, the master said that if you come back, you will go to the study to find him." The name of the speaker is Li Hu, who was originally a personal soldier of Li Jiancheng's grandfather Li Xin, who was already very old, and was seriously injured on the battlefield because he had saved his grandfather's life, and his legs were a little disabled. After his grandfather's death, Li Hu served Li Yuan with all his heart and soul, and won Li Yuan's trust, so in the Li family, Li Hu's identity is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Thank you, Huber." After speaking, he hurried to the study.

"Father, the child is back."

"Hmmm! You're back, go out and get something to gain. ”

"The father forgave the sins, the child went out for a long time, and met a strong man, whose martial arts are so high that the world is rare, and he wanted to include him in the house, but he only wanted to make contributions to himself, so he did not win his heart, and in addition, nothing else was gained. I hope my father will forgive. ”

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows and didn't say a word, as if he wanted to see if what he said was true from Li Jiancheng's face, but Li Jiancheng looked as usual, so he smiled:

"Built, you are still young, you are new to a place, some of the pleasures are taken for granted, but you still have to listen and see more, don't look at the flowers, there is nothing in your eyes! Okay, you're tired too, go back to your room and go to sleep! ”

"Yes, the child is gone."

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Jiancheng took Li An to wander in the market again, but this time, Li Jiancheng had a trace of doubts in his heart, I don't know how Li Yuan was calculating in his heart, he always couldn't figure out a clue, and after walking for about two hours, his stomach began to vent his dissatisfaction with Li Jiancheng, and Li Jiancheng and Li An came to a restaurant.

"Two guest officers, please inside, the small shop has everything from the north and south." The shopkeeper greeted him diligently, Li An found a quiet private room, and Li Jiancheng didn't want to say anything because he had walked for a while, so he let Li An greet the shopkeeper, still thinking about Li Yuan's advice to him in the past few days. At this time, a voice came from next door:

"Did you hear that? This time, the Wong Kee firm has made money again. ”

"Yes! The foreign trade of the entire Longzhou is in their hands, who wants the backers behind them! Leather goods, horses, cattle and sheep, camels, grain, cloth, jewelry and jade from the Western Regions, and high-quality goods are all purchased by them, but the price is only 30% of the purchase, and they still pay in installments. Ho! The yamen accepted the complaint and said that Diao people were making trouble, and they were beaten and locked up in prison. Who would dare to poke this hornet's nest? I also heard that they were also engaged in the smuggling of Turkic weapons and the trade in salt, iron, and tea. ”

"Brother, don't say it, be careful that the wall has ears。。。。。。"

Li Jiancheng in the back couldn't hear it, he only felt that a fire was burning in his heart, although relying on official power to oppress the good in any dynasty and generation, even when it was known as a society ruled by law, it was endless, but smuggling iron weapons was tantamount to an enemy, which was equivalent to sending a bright knife to the hands of the robbers, and letting the robbers grab the defenseless people. The fists were clenched tightly, as if all the resentment in the world was in Li Jiancheng's hands.

"Ang Lee."

"What do you command?"

"You quickly go to the market to inquire about the details of the Wang Ji firm, the more detailed the better, remember, don't reveal that you are a person from the Assassin's Mansion."

"Yes, the little one understands." 'Humph! I don't care what kind of bull, ghost, snake and god you are, if you commit it in my hands, I will definitely uproot you. Li Jiancheng said angrily in his heart

One morning two days later, Ang Lee came to Li Jiancheng's room:

"Childe, the small people of the Wangji firm have been found out, the surname of the shopkeeper of this firm is Yan, the name is Wang, originally a helper who helped people drive camels and lead horses, and then his sister married Wang Chang as a concubine four years ago, and gave birth to a son, so he opened this Wangji firm, and he became arrogant and ruthless, and all the tea, grain, cloth brocade, medicinal materials and jewelry and livestock from the Western Regions in Longzhou were made by him. Others called him Wang Ye in person, and he was nicknamed Lord Yan behind his back. As for the rest, it's hard to ask. ”

"Oh! Very good, you worked hard. He casually took out two pieces of money and rewarded it to Ang Lee. Then he came to Li Yuan's side and talked about the secret news he heard in the restaurant, and told Li Yuan to listen. After listening to this, Li Yuan smiled slightly, picked up a document, and saw that the paper had turned yellow, and all the records on it were accusations against Wang Ji for acting evil, and the lawsuit was withdrawn immediately after a period of time. After Li Jiancheng saw it, he looked at Li Yuan in surprise:

"Father! What's going on? ”

"Built, my father was also very suspicious when he saw this, so he asked you to go to the market to see. On the one hand, you have no position or power, and you will not attract attention in Longzhou, and secondly, my father also hopes that you can experience it through this matter. Since you have some clues, go check it out! ”

"Yes! Father, the child thought that Wang Ren had been an official in Longzhou for many years, and the party must be in groups, and if Wang Ren was to be eradicated, he must not use the soldiers and horses here. ”

"When it is built, I will arrange what I want to do and what I need. But one thing to remember, after all, Wang Ren is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and if there is no real evidence, you must not move lightly. Well, if you are busy with your father's official duties, if there is nothing else to do, you can go and get busy! ”

"Yes!"

A few days later, the private soldiers of the Tang Mansion led Li En to Longzhou at home, and Li Jiancheng's plan to hoe and rape began to be implemented.

A well-dressed boy in brocade rode a double-horse carriage to the door of Wang Kee Trading House, followed by dozens of big men on horseback. Before entering the door, a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body and a beard greeted him:

"Distinguished guests come from afar, the small shop is shining, please sit inside and watch the tea. Dare to ask where the guests come from, where they live, and their names?! ”

The brocade-clothed boy did not answer, his eyes only swirled on the antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings in the shop, and he did not pay attention to people at all, and his arrogance was unpleasant, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed on the shopkeeper's face, but it was lost immediately. Then one of the servants replied:

"The shopkeeper, my son's surname is Dou, his ancestral home is Longxi, he came here to worship his ancestors, just because the birthday of the patriarch Dou Rongding is approaching, and he has heard for a long time that your name is complete in variety and the goods are of high quality, so I went here to buy some gifts and go home."

"Oh! It turned out to be Dou Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful, in Xia Yan Wang, it is the shopkeeper of this business, come quickly, brew the best tea shipped from Jiangnan last month to Dou Gongzi, what kind of gifts do you want to buy! As soon as the shopkeeper heard that it was someone from the Longxi Dou family, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately, and he immediately changed to a flattering expression.

"The shopkeeper, I have heard that the goods of Guibao are the first in Longzhou, but look at the jade on your cabinet is nothing more than that!"

I saw that the middle-aged man looked startled, and immediately disappeared: "Childe's words are wrong, if you say that in this Longzhou area, if the trumpet is the second, no one dares to recognize the first, of course, the son is born rich and noble, I am afraid that such vulgar things will be difficult to enter the vision of the son, but I don't know how the son bids." After speaking, he picked up the teacup in front of him and looked at each other gently.

The boy in brocade smiled slightly, and immediately someone moved an iron box, after the lid of the box was opened, everyone's eyes were golden, "Here is a thousand taels of gold, if there are good goods, these will be used as fixed money, money is not a problem for our Dou family." ”

"Childe said with a smile, Longxi Dou Clan, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the present for nearly a thousand years, how can I despise it, please come in with me." The boy in brocade wants to enter together. The boy in brocade waved his hand: "This is someone else's inner courtyard, you are waiting here." Yan Wang looked at it and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

The brocade boy and Yan Wang entered a room in the inner courtyard, Yan Wang and the brocade boy came to a bookcase, carefully took down a book, revealing a grid, and pressed his hand to the dark grid, the wall behind the bookcase automatically opened, and a staircase went straight to the ground, "Childe, please." Yan Wang took a lamp and led him into an underground secret room, the walls of the secret room were painted with all kinds of ghosts, as if to deter the thieves who entered it, only to feel the cold in the secret room, the more he walked in, the more cold he felt, and suddenly felt a line of green light in the distance, the closer he got, the brighter the green light became-it turned out to be a huge jade stone in this secret room. I saw that this jade was green all over, crystal clear, and there was a faint cold wind at a glance, which was estimated to weigh dozens of catties. The boy in brocade was dumbfounded.

"The Jade of Kunshan! This is the jade of Kunshan. I don't know how you got it. ”

"Dou Gongzi has good eyesight. This is indeed the jade of Kunshan, which was purchased at a high price from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions two years ago, and the villain wanted to leave it as the treasure of the small town store, but the villain is just a market businessman, and he thinks that he will still sell this thing, and he will see the son today, so he will ask the son to carve this thing into a birthday star and give it to Grandpa Dou, what does the son think! Yan Wang squinted at Dou Gongzi, smug on his face.

"This thing is placed in such a mysterious place, at first glance, it is the beloved thing of the shopkeeper Yan, the treasure of the town store, as the so-called gentleman does not take the love of people, how can I 。。。。。。" Before he finished speaking, Yan Wang held Dou Gongzi's hand and interrupted him:

"Why should Childe be polite, since ancient times there have been flowers to give beauties, swords with heroes, this thing has to meet Childe, it is its creation, Childe will make it into a vessel, on the birthday of Grandpa Dou in the future, Childe will dedicate it will add a lot of glory to Childe's face."

"Then I'll be disrespectful."

After coming out of the secret room, the boy in brocade gave Yan Wang a box of gold, and agreed to pick up the goods as soon as it was completed, and signed a contract, and paid another thousand taels of gold when picking up the goods. Then he boarded the bus and left.

In the car, the boy in brocade said to himself: "The strength of Wang Ji is really extraordinary, and it should not be underestimated. It seems that we have to think long-term. ”

Note: The jade of Kunshan refers to the beautiful jade of Kunlun Mountain, according to legend, this kind of jade is burned with charcoal, three days and three nights, the color remains the same, it is the most beautiful jade.
