This place is called Xiejiazhuang, it existed in the pre-Sui period, it was Xie Zhi'an's ancestors who fled to this place and established Xiejiazhuang.

Later, several county orders were issued in the clan, and the family began to rise slowly.

In fact, although it is called Xiejiazhuang, there are not many people with the surname Xie in this village.

All of them are displaced people who have fled here.

The Xie family relied on several officials to develop a lot of industries, and later after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, their family had no officials.

After Xie Zhi'an took charge of the family, although he was conscientious, he couldn't stand it when there were many clansmen, so Xie Zhi'an decided to find some ways to make a fortune.

It just so happened that the business environment of Datang was good in recent years, so he went to Kyoto, that is, Chang'an City, and by chance, he purchased a batch of fine wine from the boutique pavilion, and made a lot of money after coming back.

This made Xie Zhi'an more confident, and began to open a local store, specializing in selling boutique products.

The goods in the boutique pavilion are all high-quality products, all of them are sold to dignitaries and nobles, and they are all rich people, so the Xie family makes a lot of money.

In Cangzhou, it also began to slowly become famous.

In recent years, the Xie family has accumulated wealth that has made many people blush, although after Xie Zhi'an became rich, he repaired bridges and roads, and built a good hall, many people were still jealous.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and Xie Zhian himself knows that wealth is moving, so he invited dozens of caretakers.

Moreover, Xie Zhian also joined the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang and donated money to the Chamber of Commerce, just to be able to be blessed when he was in trouble.

Even so, it is still remembered, an official under the Cangzhou Thorn History Mansion, named Li Dabian, this person relied on power, wantonly embezzled, bribed and bribed,

bullying men and women in Cangzhou Mansion is all evil.

Looting money everywhere and imposing nameless taxes, the local people complained and suffered unspeakably.

Li Dabi took a fancy to the Xie family's property, but he also knew that he would not be able to operate, and if he took it over, he might not make as much money as the Xie family.

So he came to the door and coerced and lured the Xie family to give him eighty percent of the dividend.

Of course, the Xie family refused, so Li Dabi began to harass endlessly.

borrowed his identity, abused his power, sealed the Xie family's shop, and injured many members of the Xie family, including Xie Zhi'an's youngest son, who had a broken leg and is still in bed.

Xie Zhian said, and Li Shen couldn't help but interject:

"You didn't go to the police to let this thief be so rampant?"

"Back to the prince, the villain has reported to the official, of course the villain has to report to the official for this kind of thing, and let the court make the decision for the villain, but.... Alas~~" Xie Zhi'an sighed and continued to preach.

Of course, Xie Zhian would not compromise, and he couldn't give up, so he went to the Cangzhou Thorn Mansion to complain,

As a result, Cangzhou stabbed Shi Xi to argue, on the grounds of insufficient evidence, and the people sued the official, and the legal principles were inconsistent, and beat Xie Zhi'an's eldest son with 30 sticks, almost not beating his eldest son to death.

Xie Zhian is also stubborn and ready to go to the capital to ask for help from the First Chamber of Commerce of Datang.

Li Dabi knew the news, so he brought more than 100 of his subordinates today to prepare to wash the Xie family's manor in blood.

Fortunately, Xie Zhi'an hired a lot of guards before, and he usually treats these guards very well.

Therefore, when Li Dabi led people to rush in, the guards desperately resisted with the help of the terrain, and Li Dabi ordered the house to be burned to death.

If Li Shen hadn't arrived in time, Xie Zhian would have been burned to death at this time.

Speaking of which, Li Shen basically understands what's going on,

However, he didn't believe that just one Li Dabi could run so rampant in Cangzhou's territory, there must be someone behind him, and this person was likely to be Cangzhou Assassin Shi Xibian.

At this time, the guard who went out to boil water walked in with a kettle, and Chunxiang skillfully took out Li Shen's teacup from her bag, and put the tea leaves on the table.

Dongmei scalded Li Shen's teacup with boiling water, put in the tea leaves, and Chunxiang took the kettle and poured it into the cup.

The movements of the two are smooth, there is no pretentiousness, and at first glance, they usually do this.

This made Xie Zhi'an and the others dumbfounded, it turned out that the life of the prince was like this, which made him guess Li Shen's identity even more.

In fact, until now, he doesn't know who Li Shen is, he only knows that he is a prince, but there are many princes in the court.

Looking at Li Shen's age, he should be a nephew, and it is very likely that he is the king of the county.

Chunxiang poured a small cup for Li Shen after making tea, and handed it to Li Shen with a smile.

Li Shen took it and blew it, and took a small sip.

"Did this Li come today?" Li Shen asked.

"Back to the prince, I'm here, but now it's not clear where the villain is, maybe he ran away." Xie Zhian replied.

"It's impossible, this king has laid a net outside, and he can't fly out with his wings." Li Shen said very confidently.

"Come on, go and gather all the captives in the open space, and let the Xie family recognize them."

Dozens of people were soon escorted to the open space of the courtyard, where thirty-seven were taken prisoner, and more than a dozen were taken outside the courtyard.

"Xie Zhi'an, you go and recognize the person, and find out that Li or something to this king." Li Shen continued to take a sip of tea and said.

"Yes, lord."

Xie Zhi'an came to the crowd, and torches were already lit around him. Xie Zhi'an carefully looked at them one by one,

He knew that Li Dabi had to be arrested, otherwise when the prince left, their family would have to move, otherwise they would all have to die.

Soon, Xie Zhian saw a familiar figure in the crowd and was hiding inside.

"That's him." Xie Zhi'an shouted.

After hearing this, the man pushed away the crowd and rushed to Xie Zhi'an, grabbed Xie Zhi'an's neck with one hand, and hugged Xie Zhi'an from behind with the other.

"Don't move, whoever moves, I'll break his neck, get out of the way and let me go." The man shouted.

The guards around him were expressionless, and they didn't take him seriously at all.

It's not that they're careless, but they don't care at all, if Li Shen is standing with Xie Zhi'an, this person won't say that he has touched Li Shen,

If there was even one intention to make a move, the guards would hack him to death.

In their eyes, no one's life is as important as Li Shen.

Li Shen was stunned when he saw this scene, "Oh, I'll go?" Why is there such a thing as hostages in this era?

This immediately made Li Shen interested.

Li Shen even wanted to shout, you have been surrounded, hurry up and let go of the hostages and surrender, aren't Hong Kong films all acting like this.

Li Shen stood up, came to the door slowly, and said contemptuously:

"Are you the poop? Why did you come up with such a disgusting name, which made this king very reluctant to mention your name. ”

Li Shen's words made Li Dabi not react, but he still yelled at Li Shen:

"I don't care what kind of bullshit prince you are, anyway, today is a death, if you dare to come up, I will break Xie Zhi'an's neck and let him bury me with me.

If you don't want him to die, you will get out of the way of Lao Tzu, you are giving Lao Tzu a horse, and Lao Tzu wants a good horse outside. ”

(Note: Li Dabi and Xi Bian are both real events,

The king didn't know why they had such disgusting names. ）
