With the soldiers of the forward battalion to guard the city gate and the capital of Anbei, as well as patrol the streets, Luo Xizao was left with only a dozen or so followers who had originally followed him, but even so, instead of worrying about his own safety, he swaggered around the city. He suddenly seized the military power of the forward battalion, and the top and bottom were not convinced by him, but he did not let the soldiers run for themselves, and the assigned tasks were closely related to the security of the city.

Therefore, when Luo Xizao took two entourages and directly escorted the two merchants to the gate of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, it immediately caused a commotion. The officials and civilians who happened to come here to do business also gathered around to see the excitement. Under the subtle influence of their respective bosses, most people have made up their minds in their hearts, if this palace servant from Chang'an finds fault, then reprimand him in public, let him not come to the stage, and go back to Chang'an in a gloomy way!

In front of everyone's eyes, when several officials led by Zhang Xing hurriedly came out of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, Luo Xixiao asked people to push the two wolf-bèi businessmen to the ground, and said lightly: "These two Xi people are called doing business in the North City, but they are actually plotting against each other. ”

Zhang Xing heard that Luo Xixiao had deducted such a crime from the two of them, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Luo Shiyu have evidence?" ”

"Absolutely!" Luo Xizao was prepared, and motioned to a personal entourage on the left to take out a thick book in public and send it to Zhang Xing, "I have visited for several days, and these two Xi merchants have stayed in Anbei Yatent City for half a year, and in this half year, a total of 1,000 war horses have been purchased, which are used to trade grain and pig iron from Hebei Province. Although I, Datang, have never controlled the flow of grain and pig iron, but the two of them, as Hu households, privately transported grain and salt and iron here, but resold the war horses back, no matter what, they are ill-intentioned! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on all sides. Luo Xixiao thought that he was speaking in an orderly manner, and everyone couldn't argue, but just as he cleared his throat and wanted to continue, Zhang Xing suddenly coughed heavily louder than him.

In front of the surrounding officials and people, Shi Shi, the chief of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate who had followed Du Shiyi for the longest time, said unhurriedly: "Luo Shiyu's seriousness is really admirable, but the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is lonely in the desert north, there is no shortage of meat, and vegetables can also be grown in the city, but in the past, grain was only transported from Shuofang, Hedong and Hebei. If you want to work the people sent by the DPRK and the central government, then, to transport a pound of food, the foot money spent on the road and the food eaten may cost three catties, or even more, I don't know if Luo Shi Yu knows? ”

Seeing that Luo Xizao was stunned for a moment, Zhang Xing knew that this person had not been a real pro-people official, and he was born in a well-off family, and these financial schemes and other things were just hearsay, so he smiled tolerantly: "So you said that they transported grain all the way here, which is very inaccurate, what they sent from all afar is just all kinds of fine seeds, in case of Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to try to cultivate and plant." Today, within a radius of 500 miles from the capital of Anbei, in addition to the division of major pastures, there is also a considerable amount of cultivated land. The amount of grain that comes in from outside is very small, because the staple food here is meat and dairy products, and the most transported goods are tea, not the grain you say.

As for the salt and iron, Luo Shiyu must have been mistaken, my Tang Dynasty is not like the Han Dynasty, strictly prohibiting private salt and iron, salt is sent by the salt tun of Youzhou, Hebei Province, but in order to make up for the lack of salt ponds here, every year merchants everywhere send thousands of catties, not much. As for iron, I think Luo Shiyu must have been to every place in Anbei Yatent City these days, except for the armory where weapons are repaired, have you ever seen a place where you need to use iron to forge weapons? ”

From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, salt and iron are not all in the form of government-run monopoly as in the Han Dynasty and later generations, but the government and the people share their benefits, loosely operated, whether it is the government or the people, all feel convenient and affordable. Therefore, after Zhang Xing explained this joint clearly at this moment, there was a sudden commotion around him, but they were all directed at Luo Xizao.

And since Zhang Xing has chosen to let Luo Xizao not come to the stage in public, of course he will not stop there, he glanced around at everyone again, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and waited until the surroundings gradually fell silent, he looked at Luo Xizao, who had an extremely ugly face, and said with a smile: "I think you haven't found a place to cast weapons, that is to say, my Anbei Metropolitan Protector is all acting in accordance with the rules, and there has never been the slightest transgression." As for what you said about the Xi people buying and selling war horses back to Hebei Province, this is really a bit of a layman, Youyan war horses are all famous, whether it is the Khitan or the Xi people, other things may not be complete, but there is never a shortage of war horses. The two Xi merchants you are talking about sell war horses......"

After a short pause, Zhang Xing walked to the two businessmen who were tied up with five flowers, stretched out his hand and patted them lightly on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "You two make it clear, who is the hoarding of war horses for?" ”

"It's An Dashuai, we are the war horses purchased for Fan Yang Pinglu Hedong Jiedu An Dashuai!"

Luo Xixiao heard the person who was patted on the shoulder by Zhang Xing suddenly opened his mouth and screamed, and he only felt a loud bang in his head, and then his scalp went numb. He just wanted to take advantage of this to confirm the collusion between Du Shiyi and some people in Hebei Province, but he didn't expect that this Xi man, who had just refused to confide in front of him, immediately spit out the name An Lushan as soon as he opened his mouth at this moment! He was Li Linfu's confidant back then, of course he knew that An Lushan had been expanding his strength, so it was natural to accumulate war horses, but there was no friendship between An Lushan and Du Shiyi, could it be that there was collusion between these two?

Now, Luo Xizao's sense of accomplishment for finally finding out such a thing has disappeared, replaced by deep doubts. He didn't care about the whispers around him, as well as Zhang Xing's meaningful smile, and snorted coldly and walked away with the servant. He had only walked a short distance before he heard a burst of laughter and grumbling from the crowd.

"Tian Khan is really confused, he actually chose this kind of person to come to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate!"

"That's it, didn't you say that the attack on the marshal was thoroughly investigated? How to find out what businessman, I think he is here to find fault at all! ”

"Zhang Changshi is good, the handsome is not there, but he can't weaken the prestige of my Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate!"

Luo Xizao's face turned pale when he heard this, but after Li Linfu's death, the Li family and his party were almost completely liquidated, and he had already been trampled into the mud, and he was used to such ridicule.

It wasn't until he walked out of the street in front of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate that he took a deep breath and said to the left and right without looking back: "Just let them underestimate me!" As long as they think that I am here to find fault, and they don't care about the incident of Du Shiyi's attack and killing, it will be convenient for people to secretly visit. Since Du Shiyi is leading the troops to avoid being outside, I am also here with his people, once I send the report back to Chang'an and get a reply from His Majesty, Du Shiyi, the capital protector of Anbei, will come to an end! ”

Although he is an unwelcome guest, Luo Xixiao still understands one thing very well - although many people in Anbei Yatent City lack the heart of respecting the king, and even some people accuse Li Longji of being confused, and more people sneer at him, but the officials and people here do not really have the heart of rebellion, but for him, who is the most capable of framing crimes, there is no psychological burden at all for such a thing as falsely reporting the situation.

He was not worried that Du Shiyi would send someone to rob and kill the messenger he sent back to Chang'an, because these people were all given to him by Yang Guozhong, and even the order of sending the letter back to Chang'an was all arranged in advance, as long as Du Shiyi really intercepted and killed one of them, then he would definitely be beaten as a rebel. So, he distorted Zhang Xing's words from beginning to end, and after people rushed back to Chang'an to report the news, he decided to simply break the boat.

Since Du Shiyi happened to be out of the army, but he didn't want to come back after a small victory, he simply went out to do a big job! Even if the people who stayed behind in Anbei Ya Tent City killed him in a fit of rage, then his life would not be in vain!

After using the previous words to arouse the anger of the people, when he returned to the post house, Luo Xixiao said in a deep voice: "Pack up your things, from now on, we will move to the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei to live!" ”

In the backyard of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, the jade slave has been delayed here for a full ten days, although she cherishes this rare time with Wang Rong, but she is still keenly aware that the sudden arrival of Luo Xixiao has brought heavy pressure to the entire Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. Therefore, whenever someone outside comes to report something important, she will obediently avoid it, and most of the time she chooses to stay in the house and ponder the score she composed during the years she went to the Western Regions. Unlike when she choreographed the song of neon clothes and feathers, and also performed many Taoist songs in the palace, now she is in a free state of mind, and she is determined to make a war song.

At this moment, just as she was demonstrating one of the most intense marching melodies with the drums, she suddenly saw Mo Xie quickly enter the house. Even before she could avoid it, Mo Xie said in a deep voice: "Madam, Luo Xixiao took his entourage and said that there were suspicious people in the post house, and asked to move into the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate!" ”

"It's finally here!" Wang Rong bowed his head and motioned to Yunu to be calm for a while, then he stood up and said, "Let Qijun personally go and settle a place for him, and then you tell Sù Longquan that the soldiers in the Dadu Protectorate will strengthen their patrols, and you must make this Luo Shiyu feel that this Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is guarding against him!" ”

Mo Xie hurriedly agreed, followed by Fang Cai's hesitant saying, "In addition, Luo Xixiao said that it was ...... Said he was coming to see Madame! ”
