Chapter 40 All parties work together

It was almost noon, Adani warmly invited Li Rong to have lunch together, Li Rong did not refuse, and happily agreed, it is always difficult to refuse in the face of a beautiful woman's invitation.

Aro regret did not attend, and it was arranged by Adani.

Arrow's family is worthy of being a wealthy family, and he has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, Adani served a feast that combines Chinese and Western.

"Camel's hoof soup, the camel's hooves of the desert camel are stewed. Ming camel can carry a thousand pounds, travel 300 miles a day, and the weight of the whole body is finally on the four hooves, and the camel's hooves are the most yang. The hump is rich in water, the yin qi is the heaviest, the hump and the camel's hooves are stewed together, the juice is as thick as milk, the entrance is fragrant, the aftertaste is inexhaustible, it is a rare delicacy. Adani said, pointing to a large silver basin.

Li Rong usually does not pay attention to fancy clothes and food, he has always eaten enough, and he is not picky about food, and he has heard of delicacies like camel hoof soup, but he has never eaten it.

"The lips and teeth are fragrant, and they are three points more prosperous than the legend." Li Rong took a sip and savored it.

"Of course, the preparation method of our family's camel hoof soup is created by the young lady herself, and the taste is not comparable to the outside." The maid beside Adani said proudly.

"Mouthy!" Adani said with a glare.

"It's okay, I can taste such a delicious food, and I thank Miss Adani for her hospitality." Li Rong said with a smile.

"Young Master Rong is polite." Adani said.

In addition to the camel's hoof soup, the table is also filled with a variety of delicacies, all of which have been carefully processed.

Li Rong and Adani are both martial arts practitioners, and their appetites are not ordinary and comparable, plus the battle just now, the real energy consumption is not small, and they will eat these delicacies in a while, and the maids waiting next to them are not surprised, they must have seen Adani's eating appearance before.

After eating, the maids cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Li Rong and Adani sat at the desk, drinking tea and talking.

"There are not many masters in the Western Regions in Middle Earth, and there are also those who use scimitars, but there are very few who have reached the sixth grade, although my Persian Jacket Sect is famous for its scimitars, but several masters in the sect have not been in Luoyang recently, and they have not returned to the Western Regions to escort a batch of goods a month ago, and there is no one Rong Gongzi said among the people in Beijing at present." Adani said.

"Is there such a master among the nine surnames of Zhaowu?" Li Rong asked.

The Hu people in the Western Regions who lived in Middle-earth were mainly surnamed Zhaowujiu, and the Persians actually accounted for only a small part, but there were many masters.

"As far as I know, there are also masters who are famous for scimitars among the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and there are few who meet the conditions you said, among them, An Jinzang, the son of the late leader of Anguo Da An Bo, is more than Chinese New Year's Eve, he is a master of the five grades, and he is good at using scimitars, I don't know much about others, but I have a good relationship with him, so I don't believe he would do such a thing." Adani continued.

"An Jinzang, in his thirties, is good at using scimitars, and is a master of the five grades," Li Rong repeated in a low voice.

"I don't need to inform him to go and see Di Gong, I think Brother An will definitely cooperate with the investigation." Adani said.

Adani's family and An's family are world friends, the two have known each other since childhood, and An Jinzang regards Adani as her sister and loves her very much. A Luo regret also takes great care of An Jinzang, and the two families have frequent contacts.

"I will report this matter to Di Gong and ask him to participate in the decision." Li Rong said.

No suspicious object can be let go, and it must be verified, Di Renjie once said this to Li Rong.

"You'll find the gold treasure sooner or later, so it's better to let him go." Adani said.

According to the characteristics of the murderer mentioned by Li Rong, An Jinzang is in line with many aspects, especially in weapons and martial arts, these characteristics are too obvious, and the official forces of the Tang Dynasty will definitely find out.

"I'm going to meet Ahn Jinzang in person." Li Rong said.

"Why don't I go with Gongzi Rong!" Adani frowned.

An Jinzang has a strong personality, and Adani knows him well, and she is afraid that An Jinzang will conflict with Li Rongqi if she hears about it.

"That's fine," Li Rong said.

Outside the Li Mansion, Ge Weisheng received orders from the head of the family, Li Hui, and began to act to investigate the movements of the Turkic tribes in Luoyang.

"Li Shi, you follow me." Ge Weisheng said to Li Shi.

The Ge family has served as the head of the Li family for two generations since Ge Bao, and has won the trust of the head of the family, Li Hui. According to Ge Weisheng's plan, the original intention was to ask Ge Fushun to continue on this path, but Ge Fushun was not interested in this, but was keen to seek fame and establish martial arts. Li Rong treated Ge Fushun very well, Li Shi was very good, and Li Hui decided to send Ge Fushun into the forbidden army for some other reasons, so Li Shi stayed in charge of the daily chores of the Li Mansion and prepared to train him to become a housekeeper in the mansion. Ge Weisheng knew this well, and often took Li Shi with him to let him slowly familiarize himself with the affairs of the house.

Ge Weisheng changed into a plain suit, short clothes, green scarf, and dressed as a low-level servant, and went out with Li Shi through the side door.

Bypassing a few alleys, Ge Weisheng came out of a small courtyard again, changed into a civilian outfit, Li Shi also changed his clothes, and the two Shi Shiran walked towards the outside of the workshop.

Cross the Tianjin Bridge across Luoshui and walk along the street to Beishi.

There are many shops in the north market, and the Hu merchants of the Western Regions led by the nine surnames of Zhaowu such as Anguo, Kangguo, and Shi Guo make a living here, and they have established many silk shops, incense shops, and horse shops. Of course, the merchants here are not limited to Hu merchants, but also the Turkic people, Khitans, and even the Silla people have their own shops here, selling their own specialties in exchange for what they need.

"The latest Turkic intelligence, especially the activities of the Turks in Middle-earth." Graham said to Hood, a horse dealer owner.

"Then the chief manager of Lao Nuge will come to pick it up in person, and I will send it to the house immediately after the order." Hood grinned.

Li Hui once served as the general of Jin Wuwei, who was responsible for the guarding and patrol work of the entire Luoyang City, and secretly had the task of monitoring the foreigners in Beijing, especially the grassland peoples led by the Turks, to prevent them from stealing information from the Tang Dynasty or causing chaos in Beijing.

"No need, this time, in order to assist my Xiaolangjun in handling the case, you can just report it to me." Ge Weisheng said unceremoniously.

"That's, that's." Hood took a stack of yellow paper from the man's hand and handed it to Gregor.

After Ge Weisheng took the information, he turned around and left with Li Shi.

After walking for a while, a man with a gloomy face came out of the house, looked at Hu Dedao, and said, "What is Li Hui's intention in letting people get information?" ”

"Lord Wu, according to Ge Weisheng, it is to help his little Langjun solve the case," Hu De said respectfully to the man.

"If he wants it, give it to him, Li Hui is already in the waning mountains, and it won't be long before he jumps, just follow Master Qiu Shenji Qiu in the future." The man surnamed Wu sneered.

The man surnamed Wu is named Wu Xicai, and he is currently a lieutenant under the command of Qiu Shenji, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, and is a confidant of Qiu Shenji, specializing in handling some personal affairs.

"Definitely, definitely, there are a lot of orchids from the Western Regions in the Liusi Ju in Lord Wu's Sigong Fang, which is really tempting, why don't you go and taste one or two tonight." Hood said flatteringly to Wu Xicai, and a dry face was about to laugh.

Wu Xicai's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree, and then frowned, "General Qiu is waiting for me to report, let's do it next time!" ”

"Lord Wu is usually really hard," Hu De saw that Wu Xicai did not agree, and hurriedly handed over a slightly heavy cloth bag.

Wu Xicai casually took the cloth bag, weighed it gently, and left satisfied.

"Greedy guy!" Hood said with a gloomy face. After Wu Xicai left, Hood's face was heavy and his heart was a little uncomfortable.

When Li Hui served as the general of Jin Wuwei, he could be honest and self-disciplined, and his subordinates were relatively upright, and generally did not openly accept bribes, but just collected some information, since Qiu Shenji took over, filial piety has more than doubled, and the people under him are also very greedy, if it is not a last resort, Hu De is really unwilling to get together with Qiu Shenji, of course, he does not have that kind of qualification.

"Li Shi, don't associate with the person just now in the future, he has already taken refuge in someone else." Ge Weisheng said to Li Shi after walking away, "It seems that some people are really grass on the wall, and Hou Ye's health has caused these people to change their position, and it will be eventful. ”

Ge Weisheng is also a first-class master, although he is not a seventh-grade innate grandmaster, but he is also a stable sixth-grade master, he noticed that there were other people in Hood's room, and he was a good master, if Hood was loyal to the Hou Ye, he would not hide it from him, but unfortunately Hood didn't say a word.

"Who will make them change their attitudes, is it aimed at our Hou Mansion?" Li Shi asked in surprise.

"It's not enough to deliberately target us, it's just that the Hou Ye is no longer in charge of Jin Wuwei, and these businessmen have begun to change their courts, probably to invest in Qiu Shenji." Ge Weisheng shook his head.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, let alone a merchant, if he can't provide them with shelter, he will naturally not get their assistance again. Of course, with a high-ranking official like Li Huiqiu's official Shangshu, these people will not blatantly offend him.

"Zuo Jin Wuwei General Qiu Shenji?" Li Shi said.

"That's right, the Qiu Divine Achievement of the Luoyang Qiu family. The queen of heaven handed over the position of General Jin Wuwei to Qiu Shenji, I don't know if it is a good arrangement? Ge Weisheng sighed.

The Qiu family's power in Luoyang is intertwined, and it is almost the controller of the underground forces in Luoyang, and then occupying the position of General Jin Wuwei has consolidated the Qiu family's power in Luoyang.

"Forget it, these are not things we can interfere with, let's go back and report to Xiao Langjun." Ge Weisheng said.

It is said that after Li Yuanfang inspected the body, he did not go home, but came directly to a house in Nanshi, pushed the door and entered, as if he was very familiar with this family.

"Senior Brother Li, you're here!" A woman in purple in the courtyard happily greeted her.

"Qiu Si, is Qiu Yuan here?" Li Yuanfang said to the woman named Qiu Si.

"Brother is in the hall," Qiu Si said with a smile, obviously very happy about Li Yuanfang's arrival.

"Yuan Fang, what kind of wind blew you here?" Probably hearing the movement outside, a man in a brocade robe walked out of the hall and looked at Li Yuanfang.

"The wind is not good, otherwise I wouldn't have come." Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly and said.

"What's going on, and what else you can't do?" Akihara said.

Qiuyuan, Qiusi's full name is Gu Qiuyuan, Gu Qiusi, a son and a daughter raised by Gu Tian, the head of the Emei faction. The Gu family not only controls the Emei faction, but also operates a brocade silk business, and is a first-class wealthy merchant in Shuzhong.

Shu brocade is famous all over the world, the number is the first in the world, the colors are diverse, exquisite and gorgeous, respected by the upper class nobles, and are very popular all over the country, which naturally brings rolling profits to Shu merchants.

Although the Emei faction is based on the inheritance of martial arts, there is no financial support behind that famous faction, and the Emei faction supports the development of the sect with the silk brocade business.
