With Luo Yumin's order, billowing smoke came out of the shop, and then several black-clothed warriors with torches rushed out, Qu Tugai was shocked, once the fire spread, the entire West Market would face a catastrophe, he hurriedly shouted the order, "Hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

Dozens of servants rushed into the store, at this time, Luo Yumin gave his left and right subordinates a look, they turned around to evacuate, how could Qu Tugai let him go, urged the horse to rush forward, drew his sword and pointed at Luo Yumin and shouted: "Murder is a felony, it's not so easy to leave, arrest me!" ”

The remaining few officials rushed forward to arrest people, but the black-clothed warriors drew their swords one after another, and dozens of people were murderous, glaring at Qu Tugai and several officials viciously, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

At this moment, more than a dozen horseback warriors rushed in the distance, they were uniformly wearing silver cloaks, eagle helmets, and a big 'Chu' character was embroidered on the warrior uniform on the chest, which was the warrior symbol of the Chu Palace.

More than a dozen cavalrymen rushed forward, reined in their horses for the leader, and said loudly: "Mr. Luo, Your Highness, please go back to the house immediately!" ”

Luo Yumin gave a fist salute to Qu Tugai, and smiled proudly: "Qu Tu Mansion Jun, I am out of company!" ”

He turned over and got on his horse, surrounded by cavalry warriors, and quickly left, and the rest of the black-clothed warriors also withdrew, and after a while, they walked cleanly, Qu Tugai looked at the other party's back and walked away, gritted his teeth with hatred, and couldn't help but slowly clench his fists, at this time, more than a dozen officials ran out of the shop with a disgraced face, Qu Tugai asked: "Has the fire been extinguished?" ”

A servant bowed down and said, "Qiqi Mansion Monarch, they only lit a few piles of cloth in the patio and backyard, but did not set the house on fire. ”

Qu Tugai was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, he fell for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and sent a large number of officials to extinguish the fire, and they took the opportunity to get out, Qu Tugai felt a kind of anger that had been fooled, and saw three corpses hanging on the stake, he couldn't bear it anymore, even if he didn't deserve this Chang'an order, he must seek justice for this matter.

Qu Tugai immediately turned his horse's head and ordered: "Follow me to the Chu Palace!" ”

........

Taiyuan Huang is the leading merchant family in the entire Bingzhou region, in Taiyuan, Chang'an, Luoyang and Chengdu and other places have many industries, mainly famous for dealing in cloth and silk, the head of the Huang family is called Huang Jin, and Li Yuan has a very good relationship, but unfortunately died of illness last year, and the current head of the Huang family is taken over by his eldest son Huang Xingshan.

Generally speaking, businessmen need power to support them, especially big businessmen, if they don't have enough power support, they are undoubtedly a fat sheep to be slaughtered.

The relationship between the Huang family and the Li Yuan family is very deep, before Li Yuan raised troops, Huang Jin secretly gave Li Yuan a lot of support, after Li Yuan entered Guanzhong, the Huang family and the Chu King Li Yuanji got into a relationship and became Li Yuanji's supporter, but since Li Yuanji was transferred out of Taiyuan the year before last, he was in a state of being deposed, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng sat in Taiyuan.

At this time, the Huang family made the choice to abandon the king of Chu and take refuge in the crown prince, but it was this choice that buried hidden dangers for the Huang family.

Li Yuanji is an extremely narrow-minded and vindictive person, and those who please him must continue to curry favor with him, and those who offend him, even if it makes him unhappy, he will wait for an opportunity to take revenge, especially after he has mastered the power of military and political supervision and foreign intelligence, he will no longer hold back, and begin to take revenge on those who have offended him one by one.

During this time, he mainly focused on revenge on the court officials who impeached him, and did not put the Huang family on the agenda, but under the persuasion of his staff Luo Yumin, he decided to kill the chickens and monkeys first, and use the Huang family to deter those businessmen who offended him.

In the study, Li Yuanji was looking at the roof with his hands in his hands, listening to Luo Yumin's report with a cold face.

"Your Royal Highness, this time the cleaning up of the Huang family's cloth shop was carried out in full accordance with the plan agreed before, beating all the shopkeepers, and killing three people to deter each other, all the cloth in the warehouse was thrown into the river, but there was a little accident when the shop was set on fire."

"What happened?" Li Yuanji asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Back to His Highness, when we were about to burn down the shop, Qu Tugai arrived with people, and his attitude was extremely tough, not only accusing him of murder, but also holding His Highness responsible, if it wasn't for the cavalry warriors who arrived, they would have taken him away."

"Didn't you tell him that it was my arrangement?"

"The lowly man told him, and he only said one word."

"What?"

"He said that the prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people!"

"What!"

Li Yuanji was furious, grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground, scolding: "Qu Tupifu dares to bully me, is he impatient?" ”

At this moment, a guard ran outside the door and reported: "Your Highness, Chang'an ordered Qu Tugai to ask to see His Highness outside the mansion." ”

"Did he come alone?" Li Yuanji asked.

"No, he led a group of officials and asked His Highness to hand over the murderer."

This sentence almost made Li Yuanji mad, and he laughed angrily: "Okay! Good! I actually asked me for someone, you go and tell him that this king is a murderer, let him send someone to me to arrest him, go quickly! ”

The guards had no choice but to go in a hurry, at this time, Luo Yumin said: "Your Highness, Qu Tugai is a well-known hard bone, no one is not afraid of him, if His Highness treats him strongly, I am afraid that he will be even more unfavorable to His Highness." ”

If these words were said to Li Jiancheng, it might have a little effect, but for Li Yuanji, it was the opposite, like adding fuel to the fire, Li Yuanji suddenly became angry and said: "He is a hard bone, am I a soft bone?" Everyone else is afraid of him, is it possible that I, Li Yuanji, am also afraid of him? I'm going to ask him what he can do against me. ”

Luo Yumin pondered for a moment and said: "The humble position can fully understand His Highness's determination to maintain his dignity, but we can't wait, that is too passive, he will report to the Holy Lord nine times out of ten, we must prepare a countermeasure first." ”

Li Yuanji is not a fool, Luo Yumin's words touched his heart, and he was also worried that Qu Tugai would sue the wicked first in front of his father, so he asked: "Then Mr. Yi, how should I deal with Qu Tugai's trouble?" ”

"Your Highness, it's very simple to deal with Qu Tugai, that is, to grab his handle, as long as he dares to complain to the Holy Lord, His Highness will throw out his handle, so that he can offset the Holy Lord's dissatisfaction with His Highness, and even let Qu Tugai come to the door to apologize, and implore His Highness to let him go."

Li Yuanji took a few steps with his hands in his hands and said slowly: "I've read the supervision report, this Qu Tugai really doesn't have any handles, it's not easy to do!" ”

Luo Yumin laughed, "Your Highness, he doesn't have it, it doesn't mean that his family doesn't have it, if he can catch Qu Tutong's handle, Qu Tugai will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

A sentence reminded Li Yuanji, he walked quickly to a large box, and took out a scroll from it, this is Qu Tutong's file, Li Yuanji slowly opened it to take a closer look, at this time, Luo Yumin reminded him in a low voice on the side: "Didn't Your Highness find out?" There is no supervising army in Qu Tutong's army, will he have the heart to rebel? ”

Li Yuanji nodded slowly, he had already discovered that Qu Tutong's army did not supervise the army, just because he didn't want to have a bad relationship with his brother Li Shimin, so he didn't express his position, if Qu Tugai really dared to deal with himself for a little thing this time, then don't blame him Li Yuanji turned his face and didn't miss brotherhood.

"Mr. is right, this is indeed a trick, if he dares to mess with me, I will let him Qutu family be beheaded!" Li Yuanji gritted his teeth and said.

Luo Yumin saw that Li Yuanji still had a little hesitation in his heart, so he said cautiously: "Your Highness, why don't you send someone to see Qu Tugai tonight, and persuade him with good words, let him focus on the overall situation and don't do stupid things, if he insists on going his own way, then His Highness can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and it can be regarded as giving an explanation to His Royal Highness King Qin, what does His Highness think?" ”

Li Yuanji nodded, his only concern was his brother Li Shimin, Luo Yumin's suggestion was just right, so he said happily: "I will leave this matter to Mr., and please pay attention to your safety, don't be arrested by Qu Tugai." ”

Luo Yumin hurriedly bowed down and said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, you will not fall into the net, I will arrange it properly, and I will report to Your Highness in time." ”

"That's good! Then I'll wait for news from Mr. for the time being.

Li Yuanji temporarily put aside the decision to fight back, and he believed that Qu Tugai would give himself this face. (To be continued.) )
