Xiao Yu is actually very complicated.

According to the relationship between relatives, he is Li Yuan's cousin and Li Shimin's cousin, because Xiao Yu's wife is the niece of Queen Dugu of the previous dynasty, and Li Yuan is the nephew of Queen Dugu.

He and Li Yuan had been officials in the same dynasty as the Sui Chamber before, and they had a good relationship.

And even in the Sui period, Xiao Yu, as the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, not only did not have the consciousness of being a relative and said good things in the court, but instead scolded Yang Guang all day long.

This made Emperor Yang of Sui extremely annoyed.

From this point of view, Xiao Yu has a very beginning and an end in his life.

In the previous dynasty, he was an official and scolded his brother-in-law, and when he arrived at the Li family to sit in the world, he was still persevering.

can't say it's a tendon, it can only be said that he has basically never suffered anything in his life, so he dares to be so iron-headed.

Lu Heng stared at Xiao Yu, who was already in his soul, and only after a long time did he look back at Cheng Yanjin.

It was not that he was overflowing in the heart of the Virgin Mary, sympathizing with the old man.

Mainly...... I can't seem to ask what kind of name I have now.

Cheng Yanjin received Lu Heng's eyes and coughed lightly.

"Xiao Yu, count it up, whether it is in the previous dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, you have been an official for decades."

"Over the years, you should also know that you have offended a lot of people."

"Until now, the five surnames and Qiwang, who were originally on your side, also want to kill you and frame you for the whole thing."

"You don't want to take revenge on them?"

This is going to arch the fire.

It's a pity that Xiao Yu just understood the pain of being taken into the pit, but at this time, he was not as impulsive as before.

He lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"The old man knows very well that you don't want to help my Lanling Xiao clan, you just want to find out about this case."

"Lu Guogong, you don't have to speak so high-soundingly."

"Although helping you is also helping myself, the problem is that except for Zheng Rentai who came to the house to arch the fire at that time, the other old men don't know anything."

"If they knew, they wouldn't be used as knives."

Xiao Yu's voice was very deep, and she seemed to be very unhappy that she was being used as a knife.

It's also normal.

He is a dignified grandfather of the country, with an extraordinary background, and an old minister of several dynasties, he will be played around by the gang of people with five surnames and seven hopes.

Whoever comes, it's going to be extremely upset.

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said in surprise:

"You don't know these things they are doing behind their backs, do you really think that the five surnames and seven wangs are all good people?"

"But the two of us came here today, and we didn't think we could know anything about the bookstore from your mouth."

"Xiao Xiang, how much do you know about the gangs that the family raised in Chang'an City?"

That's right, that's what they're here for!

Cheng Yanjin quietly gave Lu Heng an appreciative look-

Well done!

It works very well!

They now know that there are many people who are close to the five surnames and seven wangs, and even half of the court officials are related to the family.

But if you want to say that the one who has the closest and the highest power, it has to be Xiao Yu.

It's one thing for Changsun Chong to be able to get the list of those families who are partial to the house.

But to investigate the twists and turns in a serious way, it is far from enough for Changsun Chong alone, and his sources of information cannot be so extensive.

Xiao Yu seemed to understand the intentions of the two in front of him.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"The old man doesn't know much, but when he meets them occasionally, he hears about it."

"They didn't hide it, and it didn't matter if they didn't know it."

Lu Heng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:

"It's okay, you can tell me first!"

"At the moment, we don't know anything about it, and it's better to know a little than nothing."

"After I leave later, I will go directly to the face of the saint and tell Your Majesty what you said about 1510, you can be regarded as guilty and meritorious, right?"

After a long sigh, Xiao Yu's complexion finally softened a little.

He said quietly:

"The biggest gang in Chang'an City is the Tiger Head Gang that you are already familiar with."

"But this realm will not be dominant, otherwise the imperial court will not be able to sit idly by, after all, this is Chang'an, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can a gang be allowed to sit big?"

"Three or four percent of the rest of the gangs are backed by the family, such as the Iron Wolf Gang, the Beidou Gang, the Thunder Fire Gang, and so on."

"Judging from the names, ordinary people can't tell that they have a family behind them, because these names are too unpopular, and they know that they have no culture when they hear them."

"But if you look into it in detail, you can see that these gangs are actually secretly dealing with each other, and it is rare to hear that they will attack each other."

"The old man really looks down on the gang."

"Because, except for the Tiger Head Gang, most of the rest are ruffians and hooligans, and even recruited many bandits to do those murderous and arson acts for them."

"Ever heard of taking flowers, right? Families also do these things, and the channels are much wider than ordinary gangs, they can sell women and children to hundreds of miles away, most of the girls are sold to Yangzhou, and the boys are everywhere. ”

"What's more, although they are nominally gangs in Chang'an City, most of the Tangkou are not in the city, but in the suburbs of Beijing."

"If you really want to check, you have to venture to the outskirts of Beijing to find out."

What Xiao Yu said this time was very real, and he had almost told everything he knew.

Lu Heng and Cheng Yanjin glanced at each other, both a little shocked.

They were shocked by more than one thing.

First of all, although they have known for a long time that there are gangs backed by the family, they have not learned in detail, and they did not know that the underground power of the other party has reached such a large level.

Secondly, this industrial chain is really a bit too extensive.

From murder and arson to the abduction and trafficking of women and children, plus the trafficking of illicit salt as Zheng In-tae said before......

And not only in Chang'an, this has already spread all over the territory of Datang!

The family doesn't make money, who makes money?

They already occupy the top resources in the world, but they are still not satisfied, and they are still sucking the flesh and bone marrow of the people in a steady stream.

"I thought that although you had a bad temper and made people dislike it, at least you were pretty upright."

Lu Heng stared at Xiao Yu's eyes, word by word:

"But you know so much about dirty and dirty things, but you haven't shaken it out at all."

"Xiao Yu, you are the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty."

"If even the prime minister of the country is shielding and conniving at this kind of behavior, then is there still a royal law in the world?"

"Do you really still treat ordinary people as if they were watching people!"

Xiao Yu didn't think that after he said these things, Lu Heng's focus was not on the family forces and gang struggles.

Instead, he questioned why he didn't report the behavior.

There was silence for a long time.

He hung his head:

"The old man really wants to shake things out, but their power is too great, and it is impossible for the old man to hurt the foundation alone."

"Ugly ......"

"Once the secret is leaked, within three days, the old man will definitely die on the street!"
