Chapter 597 Wang Qi resigns
Since Li Yuan captured Chang'an City, in the past three years, Chang'an City has been calm, which has made Chang'an City more and more prosperous! But during this time, Chang'an City can be said to be in turmoil, and troubles are one after another! First of all, the Li family had a dispute with the Yuan family, and Yuan Hu, a son of the Yuan family, was killed by Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji, the son of Li Yuan! Immediately, the Yuan family and the Dugu family fought on Suzaku Street, and I heard that the children of the Yuan family broke the legs of the children of the Dugu family! Immediately afterwards, the news of Li Yuan's intention to stand on behalf of Sui gradually revealed, which made rumors spread throughout Chang'an City! And at this extremely sensitive time, another big event came out, Yuan Junbao, a child of the Yuan family, and Dugu Yunqing, a child of the Dugu family, were assassinated respectively!
As soon as this news came out, the atmosphere in the entire Chang'an City immediately became tense! The Yuan family and the Dugu family, they are not ordinary people, and they are the only ones who bully others on weekdays, where is the turn of others to step on their heads? Especially the Yuan family, in less than a year, two descendants died one after another! In the old days, it would have been impossible!
And as everyone expected, on the second day of the assassination of the children of the Yuan family, the Yuan family immediately gathered all the children of the Yuan family in military and political affairs to gather in the Yuan family compound! Even many troops controlled by the children of the Yuan family suddenly drove outside Chang'an City without receiving any orders from Li Yuan!
For the actions of the Yuan family, the Dugu family is not to be outdone! Although the Dugu family has been very low-key over the years, this low-key family has shown amazing strength in just a few days! There are many ghosts outside the Yuan family compound day and night, God knows how many people were arranged to guard outside the Yuan family compound, Dugu Lu, the head of the Dugu family, ordered all the children of the Dugu family to wear filial piety clothes, and the Dugu family compound was also all wrapped in white clothes, and the body of the killed Dugu Yunqing was placed in the hall of the Dugu family compound, which meant to die with the Yuan family!
The-for-tat performance of the two major families made Li Yuan, as the lord of Chang'an, also start to sit on wax! However, Li Yuan went to the two families several times to ask for a meeting, but they were turned away, and both families made it clear that if Li Yuan couldn't handle this matter, then this matter would be solved according to the Yuan family and the Dugu family's own methods! After Li Yuan ate a few closed doors, he could only go back to his Tang Wangfu to find a way!
"Smack!" A crisp sound sounded in the backyard hall of Tang Wang's Mansion, and I saw Li Jiancheng standing straight in the center of the hall, with a bright red slap mark on his face, and even a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth. And in front of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuan also glared at his eldest son with an angry face, shortness of breath, his chest rising and falling, obviously anxious and angry! Beside the father and son, Liu Zhenghui and Pei Lin also looked at each other, not daring to say a word, after all, this matter is Li Yuan's family matter, even if Li Yuan is close to them, it is still inconvenient for them to interfere in this matter.

"Rebel!" Li Yuan was furious, and pointed his finger at Li Jiancheng's head and scolded. Originally, Li Yuan planned to win the support of the Yuan family after getting the support of the Dugu family, and then he could be firmly on the throne! But now in this situation, not only can the Yuan family not get the support, but even the Dugu family has made it clear that they are not cooperative, doesn't this make Li Yuan's previous plan come to naught! And at this time, Li Jiancheng suddenly came and asked for a promotion for his newly recruited subordinates! Li Yuan, who was already anxious, still had the heart to take care of Li Jiancheng's affairs again, and if he didn't agree with him, it would be a slap in the face!
Although Li Jiancheng was unhappy, Li Yuan was his own son after all, and he wanted to slap himself, could Li Jiancheng still be able to fight back? can only bow his head, touch his cheek that was beaten, and remain silent. And Li Yuan was distressed eldest son after all, seeing that Li Jiancheng was beaten and silent, the anger in his heart was also half gone, but his face couldn't get down, so he snorted coldly and shouted: "Shameful thing!" Don't give me a retreat yet! ā
Li Jiancheng also knew that now was not the time to make a request, so he could only cover his face and retreat silently, but when he retreated, he quietly glanced at Pei Lin and motioned for Pei Lin to help say a few good words. And after Li Jiancheng left, Li Yuan sighed and sat down helplessly, but he sulked silently.
Looking at Li Yuan's appearance, Liu Zhenghui and Pei Lin glanced at each other, Liu Zhenghui stepped forward first, and said to Li Yuan: "Tang Wang, don't worry! Things aren't too bad yet! At least, the Dugu family did not use the power of the army, which means that they are still on the side of King Tang! What needs to be solved now is the problem of the Yuan family! ā
"Yuan family!" Li Yuan almost gritted his teeth and spewed out these two words, clenching his fists hard, he already hated the Yuan family! If it weren't for his good endurance, I'm afraid that Li Shentong and Yin Kaishan, who were leading the troops a long time ago, would have led the troops back to Chang'an and exterminated the Yuan family! Taking a deep breath, Li Yuan finally swallowed back the hatred in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "Have you ever found out, who killed Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing?" ā
Li Yuan's questioning was for Pei Lian, and as soon as this incident happened, Li Yuan handed over the matter to Pei Lin to investigate. And Pei Lin also hesitated, but his face was a little ugly, and said: "Back to King Tang, there are no clues yet, but from the perspective of techniques, it is certain that it is the same group of people who killed Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing!" Basically, it can be determined that it is not the Yuan family and the Dugu family who did it to each other! ā
Although Pei Lin did not find out who the murderer was, at least it was certain that it would not be the two people who were killed by the Yuan family and the Dugu family, and now Li Yuan was also relieved, at least in this way, the two families would not form a mortal enemy! Immediately, Li Yuan shouted in a deep voice: "This murderer must be arrested!" As long as this murderer is caught, then the Yuan family and the Dugu family can be given an explanation! Didn't Shi Wanbao have a lot of contacts in Chang'an? Let him help you! ā
"Yes!" Pei Lin also nodded immediately, in fact, even if Li Yuan didn't say it, Pei Lin also thought of relying on Shi Wanbao to help! After all, Shi Wanbao used to be a hero in Chang'an, and the relationship around Chang'an was very deep! When Yuan Junbao and Dugu Yunqing died, they were in their respective homes and protected by guards, but they died quietly, obviously by those people in the rivers and lakes! This matter in the rivers and lakes naturally depends on the people of the rivers and lakes to solve it!
However, Pei Lin also knew that a good Jianghu person would never run to assassinate the children of the Yuan family and the Dugu family, let alone act so coincidentally at this critical juncture! Obviously, behind those murderous Jianghu people, there is also a behind-the-scenes mastermind in command! As for who is behind the scenes, Pei Lin thinks about it too much, and he has gone through all the forces in Chang'an City, but he can't think of who it is! After all, even if Pei Lin died, he couldn't have imagined that a businessman from Jianghuai would have such courage to go deep into the homes of the Yuan family and the Dugu family to kill people!
"Lord Wang!" At this time, someone shouted outside the hall again, but it was the butler of the Tang Palace, and he could only hear him bowing respectfully to Li Yuan outside the door, and said, "Lord Wang Qi asks to see you!" ā
"Wang Qi?" Hearing this name, Li Yuan's brows couldn't help frowning, and he instinctively wanted to avoid it, because he knew that Wang Qi must have come to him for his cousin's lack of money. But thinking of Wang Qi's identity and his prestige among Shilin, Li Yuan could only say in a deep voice: "Let him wait in the living room!" I'll be there! ā
After giving an order, Li Yuan turned his head and said to Liu Zhenghui and Pei Lian: "I'm going to see Wang Qi!" Xuan Zhen, you must hurry up to track down the murderer! Political Council, you and I will go with you to see Wang Qi! I'm afraid he's here again for that lack of money! You're going to help me get rid of him when the time comes! ā
Liu Zhenghui also had the same idea as Li Yuan, and immediately Li Yuan took Liu Zhenghui all the way to the living room, and only Pei Lin was left alone. Pei Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, Li Yuan did this, obviously deliberately not giving himself a chance to help Li Jiancheng, but he was afraid that Li Jiancheng's little action just now would have already fallen into Li Yuan's eyes! Shaking his head helplessly, Pei Lin could only act according to Li Yuan's orders.
And when Li Yuan and Liu Zhenghui just stepped into the living room, they couldn't help but be stunned. I saw that Wang Jue, who was waiting in the living room, was no longer wearing an official robe, but wearing an ordinary literati's long coat, holding the folded official robe and official seal in his hands, just standing in the center of the living room. Seeing Li Yuan coming, Wang Qi knelt directly towards Li Yuan, raised the official robe and official seal in his hand above his head, and then shouted: "King Tang! The subordinate officials know that they are shallow in their talents and cannot be qualified for official positions, so they have come to ask King Tang to resign today! Please allow the king of Tang to allow the officials to return to their hometowns! ā
Returning to the hometown? Hearing Wang Qi's words, Li Yuan and Liu Zhenghui behind him were immediately stunned! Although Wang Qi is not young, he is still a lot away from the age of returning to his hometown! If Wang Jue has to return to his hometown at his age, then I am afraid that most of the people in the court will resign! But soon, Li Yuan and Liu Zhenghui understood Wang Jue's intentions, this is Wang Jue using actions to express his dissatisfaction! The two glanced at each other, and Li Yuan immediately stepped forward, helped Wang Jue up, and said, "Lord Wang! What are you talking about? I still need Wang's help! How can Lord Wang just say go? No way! No way! ā
Li Yuan tried his best to persuade him, but Wang Qi looked like he was stunned, and said with a straight face: "King Tang said that he was laughing!" Tang Wang's subordinates are full of talents! One more me is not more, less me is not less! Or please Tang Wang to complete! ā
