After that, Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun said some interesting things about the Martial Arts Pavilion, and Zhao Xun listened to them with relish.

Zhao Xun also talked about the news that Chang'an City heard recently, "Do you remember that the imperial court soon asked for nearly three million taels of silver to support Jizhou?"

Of course Li Wuchang knew.

Jizhou was in an emergency, asking for the support of silver and grain from the imperial court, but the household was scarce, and Lin Taifu proposed to donate money to raise more than 2.1 million taels, plus more than 900,000 taels raised by Lu Xuanyi and Lu Xuandong's brothers to find the noble children of Chang'an City, a total of 3 million taels of silver, to support Jizhou, claiming to be able to support Anle and Liaodong for a few months.

At that time, in order to deal with Lu Xuanyi and Lu Xuandong's brothers, Li Wuchang also supported Xiao 20,000 taels.

Zhao Xun said again: "There is a big incident with this money. ”

Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun frowned at the same time, waiting for the following.

Zhao Xun sighed: "The household department and the military department sent people to the upper valley area of Zhuo County in Jizhou and the Bohai Sea in Yanzhou to raise grain and grass, and transported it to Anle and Liaodong in Jizhou in several batches, and there was a problem. ”

Li Wuchang exclaimed in surprise and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xun explained: "The batch of grain and grass in the Bohai Sea was attacked by the Oriental Japanese bandits, and more than half of the more than 1,000 soldiers escorted were killed and wounded. ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Minglun and Li Wuchang both felt incredible.

It was common for Oriental pirates to attack the coastal areas of Dayan, but they generally went to the coastal counties of Yangzhou to loot, and most of them left with a single vote.

This time, he turned his attention to the Bohai Sea in Yanzhou, and the looting was still the grain and grass transported to Jizhou.

Jiang Minglun analyzed: "This is obviously premeditated, maybe the Oriental people and the Khitan and Goryeo have been united, and they want to stab Dayan at this critical time." ”

It's very likely.

Zhao Xun said: "Fortunately, there is not much grain and grass in Yanzhou Bohai, so the impact is not so great, but it is a pity that the grain and grass raised by the three counties such as Hejian in Jizhou have also been attacked." ”

Li Wuchang asked, "It's a Japanese coward again?"

The area between the rivers is far from the sea, where did the Japanese invade go?

What do the officers and men in the coastal areas do to eat?

Zhao Xun waved his hand and said, "This time it's not the Japanese robbers, but the gangsters and rebellious people within Dayan." ”

At this time, Li Wuchang and Jiang Minglun changed color at the same time.

Oh my God, how can this be, Dayan insider?

Zhao Xun continued: "It is not clear who initiated it, but there are roughly three rumors. ”

"First, the intelligence officers of Khitan and Goryeo infiltrated Jizhou, bribed the gangster forces, took the opportunity to make trouble, and then released the news to break the military morale of the two armies of Anle County and Liaodong County. ”

"Second, it is a rebellion of the people, as you know, last year's snow disaster, the imperial court indiscriminately killed a lot of good people, and it is inevitable to cause a rebellion, and it broke out at this point. ”

"Third, huh...... It's our old friend, the people of the Hanshui Gang are estimated to be making trouble and fishing in troubled waters. ”

After listening to Zhao Xun's explanation, Li Wuchang said: "The first and second points are in the past, but the Hanshui Gang, they are so bold and dare to provoke the imperial court at this juncture? I think this is unlikely." ”

Although the strength of the Hanshui Gang is amazing, and Ping Su has done a lot of bad things, the consequences of this incident are too serious, and the Hanshui Gang should not dare to do it.

Zhao Xun said: "Although it is just a rumor, but it is spread clearly, and it is impossible to distinguish between true and false, it is said that the Hanshui Gang was oppressed by the Jin Wangfu and wanted to take the opportunity to rebel. ”

Although the fall out between the Jin Wangfu and the Hanshui Gang is a very happy thing, Li Wuchang is still a little worried about the form of Jizhou, not because he is worried about the country and the people, but because he is worried about Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng is now in charge of the overall situation in Anle County, Jizhou, if there is no supply of grain and grass, it is a matter of time before he loses the battle, and maybe even his life will be lost.

After all, everyone knows each other, and if Zhou Sheng dies, Li Wuchang will not feel good in his heart.

Zhao Xun said: "Fortunately, there are more sergeants in Hejian and other places who escort grain and grass, and local officials also attach great importance to it, and only about forty percent of the grain and grass have been lost, and a total of more than 2,000 thieves have been killed. ”

Li Wuchang muttered: "Oh my God, it seems that Jizhou is really a mess, and I don't know how long it will be delayed." ”

Maybe the whole Dayan will fall into it.

Jiang Minglun sighed: "I estimate that many people will be implicated on this trip. ”

Of course, there will be many people who will be implicated, first of all, the people from the household department and the military department are to blame, and secondly, the Taishou of the four counties of Shanggu and Bohai in Hejian Zhuo County, it is estimated that they are not far from bad luck.

And the next crackdown on bandits will also become more and more intense.

Anle County and Liaodong, the people there are afraid that they will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment for a long time.

Zhao Xun said: "Alas, these little people like us can't be controlled, and they need to be dealt with by big people like Mrs. Lin." ”

Then he said to Li Wuchang: "Stunned, you should take care of the affairs of Dongli Restaurant and Lu Ji first." ”

Li Wuchang said: "Is something wrong?"

Zhao Xun said: "Just yesterday, two groups of people went to Dongli Restaurant and Lu Ji to make trouble...... Don't frown first, these two groups of people are from your Li Mansion, saying that they are following the orders of the second lady of the Li family, and they want to get the recipes of the restaurant and the recipe of the second pot head, and they also want Lu Ji's old tailor to go to the Li Mansion to start work, and also mentioned your design drawings. ”

The second lady of the Li Mansion, Liu?

Which one is she singing?

Zhao Xun continued: "I don't know exactly what's going on, those two groups of people have an arrogant attitude, and they don't take me and Fat Bear and others in their eyes at all, I was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so I didn't do it, and I didn't agree to their request, because this is the rule you set personally, but they didn't follow it, and they came again today, of course I blocked them back, they were still not convinced, and they said ruthlessly that they would come back tomorrow, so I had better be interesting." ”

After a pause, he said cautiously: "It's just that I was stunned, your nurse was pushed by one of them when Lu Ji was theorizing with them, and she accidentally bruised her head......"

"What did you say?" Li Wuchang heard this, and immediately stood up and looked at Zhao Xun.

"Don't be stunned, don't get excited, it's me who is not good, I didn't pay attention, how do you know that those people even dare to beat your nurse, don't worry, I have already seen the doctor, but it is only a skin injury." Zhao Xun hurriedly appeased Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang's face was cloudy, his eyes showed a fierce look, and after a while, he said lightly: "How can I blame you...... Well, rest well, and I'll go back first. ”

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun had been messing around with Li Wuchang for so long, and when they saw Li Wuchang's appearance, they knew that he was very angry at this time.

This is normal, Li Wuchang in their minds is the kind of person who doesn't offend me and I don't offend people, and he cares about the people around him, this time he heard that his nurse was injured, and he didn't get angry, so he might take action this time.

Zhao Xun said: "Do you want to make any preparations?"

Li Wuchang thought for a moment and said fiercely: "You let the fat bear and his brothers prepare the guys, gather early tomorrow, and be on call." ”

Then he said goodbye and left.

What Zhao Xun said just now is right, what Oriental widows, what Jizhou situation, all of them are floating clouds, and there is no copper coin relationship with Li Wuchang, Li Wuchang can't manage it even if he wants to, and the nurse's affairs are the top priority.

......

Caiyunju.

Li Wuchang carefully rubbed some gold sore medicine on the nurse's forehead, then tied it with a bandage, and asked, "Nurse, does it still hurt?"

Xiao Ru said fiercely: "Young master, you must avenge your aunt, Zhang Tong's kid is too bad, he will do it directly to his aunt, and his mouth is not clean." ”

Li Wuchang frowned and said, "Zhang Tong, is that little guy from the second brother?"

Xiao Ru nodded.

Zhang Tong is a little bit of martial arts with his own martial arts, and he is a little bully in front of his subordinates, and sometimes he is not particularly respectful to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang asked, "Nurse, what's going on? I've only been away from home for two days, and these people are so presumptuous?"

The nurse explained: "It is said that your Uncle Ji is going to celebrate his birthday, and the eldest lady is going to hold a big event in the Li family, seeing that the dishes in Dongli Restaurant are good, and the second pot head is very delicious, so I want to take the recipe and wine recipe to Li's house, so I will hold a banquet at home, and the wine is also freshly brewed...... As for Lu Ji, aren't the clothes you designed quite popular, so I thought about using the drawings you drew to study and study, and I also wanted to ask Lu Ji's old tailor to make clothes for your uncle in person, saying that it was best to bring a few apprentices. ”

After a pause, he continued: "This matter was handed over to the second lady to deal with, and those people were all sent by the second lady, I told them that I would wait for you to come back and make a decision, but they said that you don't need to ask for advice on such a trivial matter." ”

It turned out to be the attention of the Zhang family, and Li Wuchang felt a chill in his heart.

Li Wuchang has many uncles, all of whom are figures of the older generation of the Li family, elders level, most of them are strong in martial arts, and they have a great say in the affairs of the family, and Li Lingwu and the Zhang family respect them very much.

Li Ji is Li Lingwu's uncle, one of the leading figures of the Li family, and he is about to turn eighty.

After listening to the nurse's explanation, Li Wuchang nodded, and said, "I know, the nurse, you and Xiaoru won't go to Lu Ji or the restaurant for the next two days, and I'll handle everything." ”

The nurse and Xiaoru nodded.

Li Wuchang sneered in his heart.

Hmph, Zhang must want to take the opportunity of Li Ji's birthday to fish in troubled waters, but it's a good idea.

......

Early the next morning, Li Wuchang hurriedly ate a little food and rushed to the Dongli Restaurant.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were already waiting.

Next to them are Lao Chen's shopkeeper and Fat Bear and others.

After the fat bear group was assembled, when they saw Li Wuchang coming, they all came out with a very energetic appearance, and they all left a good impression in front of Li Wuchang.

The fat bear came out of the queue and asked: "The fourth son, the subordinates and brothers, a total of forty-two people, all of them are here, please ask the fourth son to instruct!"

Li Wuchang's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Very good, now you divide the brothers into two teams, take the guys, one team to the wine shop, and the other team to Lu Ji, if someone makes trouble today, no matter who the other party is, don't be polite to me, greet them well, and quickly send someone to report to me." ”

Fat Bear said cautiously: "If they are from the Li Mansion......"

Li Wuchang interrupted: "Don't you understand people's words? Do you want me to say it again?"

Fat Xiong's heart was shocked, and he immediately lowered his head and said respectfully: "The subordinates understand, the fourth prince can rest assured, and the subordinates will definitely do what the fourth prince orders." ”

Then he faced the team and said loudly: "Old Five, you take half of the people to Lu Ji, and the rest follow me to the brewing workshop, and bring the guys." ”

"Yes, Brother Xiong!"

The fat bear's movements were very neat, and he quickly divided into two teams and rushed to the wine shop and Lu Ji respectively.

Li Wuchang looked at the old shopkeeper Chen beside him and said, "Old Chen, take advantage of the early time to call the chef and the guys of the restaurant to the lobby, and say that I want to pay a bonus." ”
