In Jingzhou City, there is a place called Luojia Commercial Bank, which is also a place where Luojia Commercial Bank belongs to the Luo family from this signboard. And this "Luo", who else can there be besides Luo Yi. Of course, the current Luo Yi should be called Li Yi, because Luo Yi has been given the surname Li by Li Yuan, and the Li Tang royal family likes to give the surname very much, for example, Luo Yi is one, and there is also a Li Ji. Li Ji was originally named Xu Shiji, but later he was given the surname Li, and then became Li Shiji, and then Li Shimin was renamed Li Ji after he became the emperor. However, although this surname seems to be glorious, it has changed the surname of the ancestors since ancient times. The feeling in this is to see your own warmth and coldness, and others can't understand it.

And this Luo family firm is naturally Luo Yi's firm. That is, Luo Yi's servant Luo Xiang was in charge, and Luo Xiang received a customer that day.

"Do you have anything to sell us?" Luo Xiang asked.

Luo Xiang is very arrogant, because in this Jingzhou, he is a member of the Luo family, and anyone who wants to sell goods to the Luo family must pass through him. And he was in charge of the acquisition, and got the Turks to sell, so as to make a huge profit from it, so that Luo Yi made a huge fortune. And he is the one who helps Luo Yi make money, and helps Luo Yi get enough wealth to arm the soldiers. And Luo Yi generally doesn't ask about the affairs of the firm, but just sends someone to come over to reconcile the accounts once a month, and then it can be considered completed. Therefore, Luo Xiang is also responsible for the Turkic trade, and Luo Xiang is also the emperor in the business of Jingzhou City, and no one can do anything to him. Although he is just a dog in front of Luo Yi, he is still very proud in front of outsiders, looking like a person of five or six.

"What did I sell you? I'll sell you a great fortune! Zhang Chao said.

"What? Great wealth? What do you mean by this? Luo Xiang was surprised.

Zhang Chao immediately said: "Look at this! ”

Luo Xiang saw something with yellow satin on the outside, and auspicious cloud patterns on it, and this Luo Xiang immediately recognized it. This is also the legendary decree. Luo Xiang had the honor to see the holy decree from Luo Yi, so he saw at a glance that this yellow auspicious cloud silk cloth was the holy decree, he immediately gasped, and then immediately made a gesture of please and invited Zhang Chao in. I have to say that the deterrent power of ancient imperial power is still very huge. I just came over with a blank holy decree, and the other party didn't even look at the content and believed me. However, he did not believe in himself, but believed in the imperial power and came on behalf of the emperor.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?" Luo Xiang hurriedly asked.

Zhang Chao didn't answer, but said, "Luo Xiang, are you willing to be a slave for the rest of your life?" ”

"This ......, sir, you are joking. I'm just a slave of King Yanjun. Luo Xiang said.

Zhang Chao could clearly see that this Luo Xiang's eyes flashed unwillingly, obviously unwilling to be a slave. All human beings are unwilling to be the slaves of others, especially the kind of slaves who directly control life and death. Zhang Chao knew that human beings were yearning for liberation, and the phrase "if you are not free or die" in later generations has become a famous saying all over the world. All human beings are unwilling to be slaves, so Zhang Chao can obviously see that what this Luo Xiang is saying is not the truth. But he didn't know where Zhang Chao came from, so he didn't dare to directly admit his true thoughts.

"Luo Xiang. This Luo family firm can actually have today. It's mostly your work. Without you, this Luo family merchant industry would not have been able to monopolize foreign trade with the Turks to such a large extent. Although there is a reason for Luo Yi's power, it is also your credit. However, aren't you making wedding dresses for others now? When the time comes. Once Luo Yi is recovered, the life and death of one of your slaves is in his hands at any time, and at that time, I am afraid that you will also face a very dangerous situation. Zhang Chao said.

After Luo Xiang heard this, he was even more nervous in his heart, because what Zhang Chao said was not wrong. Once Luo Yi wants to unload and kill the donkey on her, then I'm afraid he really can't resist it. He was just a slave, and he was a pariahs under the laws of the Tang Dynasty and was not protected by the law. And as long as the master wishes, he can kill the slave at any time without punishment without punishment in the case of informing the government. Although the Tang Dynasty was no longer a slave society, there were still serious remnants of slavery, for example, many big families had slaves, and these slaves were naturally lower than ordinary people, and these slaves had to be slaves for generations, so it was impossible for him to be free. They can't even marry ordinary people, which is very miserable. Unless there is a master's forgiveness, he can obtain the status of a free man with the help of the master. However, not many masters will do so, because only those who have done great deeds can receive their master's forgiveness.

Of course, if it is an amnesty from the emperor, then naturally there is no problem. But this condition is even more difficult than the first, after all, how can an ordinary slave see the emperor, and how can you impress the emperor and then let the emperor pardon you? Therefore, it is inevitable that the vast majority of slaves will be slaves for a lifetime or even generations. And some people choose to accept their fate in this case. However, some people are different, and some people desperately want to be free.

Especially those who are literate and capable, those who are literate and capable, are naturally unwilling to be slaves for the rest of their lives. When they have the opportunity to change their destiny, they will seize it at all costs. And now Luo Xiang, obviously the idea of longing for freedom flashed in his eyes, which gave Zhang Chao a means to operate. Freedom, that is the most precious thing in the world, so Zhang Chao thinks that he can convince him that as long as he wants to be free, then that's it, for the sake of freedom, even life can be sacrificed. This is also the power of culture, as long as there is culture, then they will hope to be free and liberated, otherwise if there is no culture, then maybe he will not be able to appreciate the value of freedom at all. Human civilization supports human freedom, not to turn back the clock on history and go back to that era of slavery.

"Luo Xiang, you have to think clearly, once Luo Yi fails in his rebellion, then you will be implicated, and at that time, you will really not be able to get free. On the contrary, if you want to be connected by the nine clans, it will really be a big loss. Therefore, you must not pin the idea of freedom on Luo Yi, then you will definitely fail. Zhang Chao said.

When Luo Xiang heard this, he suddenly knelt down and said, "Sir." Save my life! ”

Luo Xiang finally couldn't hold it anymore, he heard Zhang Chao unceremoniously point out that Luo Yi wanted to rebel, which immediately made Luo Xiang feel very scared. Because Luo Xiang, as the person next to Luo Yi and the person who helped Luo Yi make money, how did he not know Luo Yi's thoughts? Luo Yi's thoughts, he also vaguely guessed, so he was very scared in his heart. But now that Zhang Chao, a person from Chang'an, knows about it, this idea made him have no resistance at all, and he chose to hope that Zhang Chao would save his life. As long as Zhang Chao can save his life. Then he's willing to do anything. Because he not only has a family, but he doesn't want to implicate his family because of the rebellion, which is really tragic. So he now also feels that he wants to live a good life, instead of relying on the very risky matter of rebellion to get free.

"Luo Xiang, since you know everything, then you can tell me everything you know. Tell me everything you guessed and everything. Don't hide the slightest. If you have the slightest hint of concealment, then you are unlikely to be helped. Instead, he will be held accountable with Luo Yi, and then connect the nine clans, understand? You should know that confession is lenient and resistant, so you tell me everything you know, and then I can save your life. If you don't refuse to speak out. Then I can't help you. Zhang Chao said.

Luo Xiang immediately said: "Okay, good, I will definitely say it, I will definitely say it." ”

Luo Xiang began to quickly say what he knew and what he guessed, and then Zhang Chao recorded them one by one. Finally, the corresponding content was recorded. Zhang Chao also got a lot of clues from Luo Xiang, and then obtained enough things step by step. Zhang Chao also smiled in the end, because although these cannot be used as solid evidence, they are enough for him to have important clues. As long as there are these clues, it is completely possible to investigate the matter step by step, and finally investigate the matter step by step, so that Luo Yi can be killed in one fell swoop.

"Well, I can assure you that if you can find Luo Yi's evidence in the future, you will definitely be able to get a big reward. When the time comes, not only will you be free, but you will also be a free citizen. You can even get a good identity, for example, Luo Yi can also get a part of the wealth you have accumulated over the years. In this way, you can continue to do this border business, and then gradually get rich. When the time comes, you'll make a lot of money. Zhang Chao said.

And that Luo Xiang immediately said: "Thank you, sir, sir's great kindness, I am unforgettable!" ”

Luo Xiang didn't expect that there would be a day when the peaks and loops would turn, which was simply too surprising to him. Not only can he be free, but he can also gain wealth, which is simply so good, he never dreamed of it!

Zhang Chao left the Luo family firm, and then met with Dou Zhi outside, and then Zhang Chao said: "Let's go, go to the north of the city, you can help me get something." ”

Dou Zhi immediately asked: "You persuaded him, he is actually willing to cooperate with us?" He is Luo Yi's slave, and the slave would betray his master? ”

"Hehe, a servant's contract can lock people, but not hearts. No one wants to be a slave, and he is no exception. So, in order to gain real freedom, he chose to cooperate with us. Zhang Chao said.

Dou Zhi still asked in disbelief: "Then he will give in so easily?" He didn't resist? Could it be that once Luo Yi's rebellion succeeded, wouldn't he also be able to gain freedom and become a free citizen? Even, at that time, he was still a founding hero! ”

"So how else is he going to resist? He was unwilling to rebel with Luo Yi, and he couldn't see hope. He followed Luo Yi to rebel, and he couldn't see any hope that the rebellion could succeed, so he naturally chose another path, he hoped to sell his past master, and then exchange for freedom. After all, his master rebelled, and he didn't want to follow, because he knew that this was bound to fail, so he chose to cooperate with us. He didn't expect to be able to become a founding hero, because this founding hero was simply impossible, because Luo Yi's could not succeed. Zhang Chao said.

"Why, why are you all so confident that Luo Yi can't succeed? Luo Yi is also a generation of famous generals, and he was very good at fighting against the Turks back then. Military strategy is very good, how do you say that he will definitely not succeed? If you follow his method, it is really possible to succeed! Dou Zhi said.

Zhang Chao immediately retorted: "Miss Dou Zhi, you don't know, the people and soldiers in this world don't want to fight anymore. Those generals wanted to be rich and prosperous. Instead of continuing to fight in troubled times. And many of those soldiers hope that the world will be peaceful and they can live a good life. And the people are also suffering from war, so naturally they will not want to fight. In this case, anyone who wants to stir up troubled times wants to become the public enemy of the whole world. At that time, how could he face the blow of the whole world and then be eliminated step by step? ”

"So, don't think about how you can set off a troubled world, because this troubled world can't be set off at all. On the contrary, once the chaotic times are set off, it can only be self-defeating in the end. And since ancient times, there have been times when the time is not as good as the place. The geographical advantage is not as good as the saying of people. And the most important thing in this is people, because this world is made up of human beings, and no one can go against the people of the whole world, because he does not have this strength. Even if it's a king, that's not going to work. Because in the end, the king cannot rule directly over the people, and he still has to rule by men. The king is just one man, and he has to build a huge bureaucracy to maintain his rule. But this bureaucracy wants human beings, and talent is the basis of rule. If it goes against the will of the people of the world, it will be attacked by the human beings of the whole world. In the end, they brought about their own destruction. ”

"Luo Yi wants to rebel, and many people know that it is impossible to succeed. The previous Yang Qi and Zhao Cihao knew that he could not succeed, and this Luo Xiang also knew that he could not succeed, so they faced the people we came to investigate Luo Yi, and they all took the initiative to choose cooperation instead of confrontation. They want to be able to work with us. Then get enough wealth, and then keep getting more and more benefits. As for Luo Yi, he is already a dead man in their hearts. If Luo Yi rebels, it will inevitably be self-defeating. And the people of the world will not let him go, because everyone cherishes this hard-won peace. Whoever wants to break the peace, that is their enemy. It is the enemy of the soldiers, the enemy of the generals, and the enemies of all the people of the world. ”

"Only when you really experience the troubled times can you truly appreciate the hard-won peace, so when everyone cherishes peace, you want to start a war, isn't this looking for your own death? Therefore, everyone saw this, and they all had serious doubts about whether Luo Yi could win the world, and they all wanted to jump off Luo Yi's broken ship, and then find the most stable big ship to get rich. In order to keep their wealth and wealth and not be implicated by Luo Yi, you will naturally choose to betray Luo Yi. At this time, it depends on who sells faster and who can get rich. So we can make good use of their psychology, and then clean up Luo Yi. I think, even in the Tianjie Army, there are very few people who are willing to rebel with Luo Yi! ”

But Dou Zhi still didn't believe it and asked: "Then why can't Luo Yi see it, doesn't he know that his rebellion at this time is a dead end?" ”

"It's not that he can't see it, it's that he doesn't want to see it. Whenever someone wants to do something that is very beneficial to themselves, then they will also calculate their strength to a higher level, and then calculate the enemy's strength to the lowest point, so what do you say? Luo Yi wanted to be the emperor too much, so he naturally wanted to rebel. And as a person who wants to be an emperor, there are factors that are favorable to him everywhere in his eyes, and those factors that are unfavorable to him, he doesn't look at them at all, and he doesn't even think about them. This is also the most important reason why Li Lingzhi is dizzy, he only sees what is good for him, but he never sees what is bad for him. In fact, those unfavorable places are the most fatal and the most important to pay attention to. But too many people in this world just see their own advantageous side, and if they don't look at it, don't even think about it, or even don't want to think about those things that are unfavorable to themselves, then they will definitely suffer a big loss. ”

"Luo Yi only wants to be the emperor now, he naturally can't see those things that are unfavorable to him, and this can also be said to be a fan of the authorities. Once a person is in a situation, it is easy for him to be confused by the conditions that are favorable to him, and then forget about the conditions that are not good for him. That's why he is so confident, and then thinks that he can be the real son. This kind of stupid bird, when he sees the benefits, he doesn't want to see if he can get it, so he wants to eat it. However, he didn't realize that the dish was too big enough to choke him to death. ”

"Okay, let's go get that thing out, didn't you say this thing is important?" Dou Zhi said.

Soon, Zhang Chao and Dou Zhi came to the outside of a house in the north of Jingzhou City, and then Dou Zhi saw this wall, and then jumped lightly, and actually jumped to more than two meters at a time, which suddenly made Zhang Chao feel that this woman is really very! Although these ancient rangers had such and such problems, at least they were very proficient in martial arts. This almost two-meter-high wall can be jumped over so easily, which is obviously very powerful. However, since Dou Zhi is so powerful, Zhang Chao really thinks that he can keep her by his side as a high-level thug. If you don't have a high-level thug by your side, you won't be able to complete your own safety and some unsightly tasks. If Dou Zhi can stay by his side, it will be enough to make himself much safer, and he can even send her on some special tasks when necessary.

And after about half an hour, Zhang Chao was also a little impatient.

"Why hasn't it come out yet, it's been half an hour?" Zhang Chao muttered.

"Alright, I'm out!" Dou Zhi climbed over the wall, then landed down and said.

"Did you take it out?" Zhang Chao asked.

And Dou Zhi took some envelopes and handed them to Zhang Chao. And Zhang Chao saw this, and then immediately smiled. Because these are also Luo Yi's evidence, copies of Luo Yi's letters to the Turks, and copies of letters written by the Turks to Luo Yi. Luo Yi never thought that a copy of the letter he wrote to the Turkic Khan Jieli had already been left behind, and this copy was a very important piece of evidence. And this was actually left by Luo Yi's old housekeeper, who was responsible for helping Luo Yi copy the letters. But Luo Yi didn't expect that his old housekeeper would actually leave a copy, which really made Luo Yi vomit blood.

The reason why this old housekeeper is like this is because he knows that Luo Yi has done too many unsightly things, and it is difficult for a person like him to live once he knows these things. Therefore, the housekeepers of these large families often leave a hand, for example, some evidence, and then if the owner wants to kill the mouth in the future, they will also be able to come up with this evidence to save their lives. This is also the survival of many housekeepers, and the big housekeepers in this era have seen too many dirty things, so they have to keep one hand, otherwise it will be very dangerous. If you can be a housekeeper, no one is stupid, so naturally they will not trust their master unreservedly. What's more, if his master wants to do these rebellions, he hopes to be able to keep these things as things to save his life in the future. Luo Yi's rebellion is impossible to succeed, only Luo Yi and a few of him are dreaming of this Spring and Autumn Festival, and others will keep a hand in secret, or they can find another way. So only Luo Yi, a fool, is still because he can be the true son of heaven, what kind of emperor can he be.

However, this news was told to Zhang Chao by that Luo Xiang, and Zhang Chao immediately planned to let this Miss Dou Zhi steal it out, so that he could get the evidence. (To be continued......)
