Datang Nongwang

Chapter 836 Moved
Liao Xian and Zhu Ni shook their heads one after another, and the expressions on their faces changed from beaming at the beginning to liver-colored.

As soon as Li Chongyuan looked at the faces of the two, he knew that the two brothers Zhu and Zhu hadn't seen their shadow yet.

Even Sizi, the princess of Jinyang, has gone out, and there is no shadow of the two brothers Zhu. This matter has become a little bit confusing for Li Chongyuan.

Sizi is all out, and he hasn't even seen anyone.

It can be seen that after the two brothers Zhu were arrested, they must have been taken somewhere, and they were not taken to the residence of Zhong Deming or Zhong Li at all.

As soon as he figured this out, Li Chongyuan immediately shouted: "Prepare the car and go back to Chang'an."

After explaining the reason to Li Yuan, after Li Chongyuan said a few words to Ding Mu, he left Li Zhuang directly and went back to Chang'an.

Li Chongyuan stepped on his horse and entered Chang'an City without stopping before the city gate was closed.

"Your Majesty Li, if you stay here even for a while at night, you will be in vain." The gatekeeper at the west city gate said back to Chang'an when he saw Li Chongyuan.

The gatekeepers of each city are still on good terms with Li Chongyuan.

After all, Li Chongyuan's third elder brother had been a Chengmen Lang for several years, so naturally, Li Chongyuan's younger brother became familiar with his third elder brother's colleagues.

Of course, not all the city gatekeepers are familiar with them very well, and there are still a few who are not on the list.

Li Chongyuan lifted the curtain of the car, cast a knowing look and said: "Brother Xiao, we are old friends, even for a short time at night, you have to leave the door open for me."

"Li Junwang, if this is put on top of other things, I can open the door for convenience, but the opening and closing time of the city gate is really up to me. Well, if you want to come to Li Junwang, you are more sympathetic than me Chu's." The Chengmen Lang surnamed Xiao replied.

Li Chongyuan smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm just kidding, Brother Xiao, don't mind. If you have time, I'll invite you to the Yingbin Building for a drink. It's getting late at this time, and I have to go back home quickly, otherwise I If you are caught by those soldiers patrolling the streets, I am afraid that this ass will also bloom, so I will leave."

"It's easy for Junwang Li to leave, so I won't send him off." Xiao Cheng's doorman also smiled back, arching his hands and saying.

Although the city gate is closed, the curfew time has not yet arrived.

However, once the city gate is closed, the curfew time is almost over.

Li Chongyuan had no choice but to go back quickly, or else if it was time for the curfew, Li Chongyuan was still wandering around the street, and would be caught by those patrolling the streets, either Marquis Wu or soldiers.

Even though Li Chongyuan is the king of the county, if someone really pursues him, although the caning can be avoided, it is inevitable that he will be criticized by the court officials.

Still the same as before, he rushed back to his home without stopping.

Go back to your own house?
Li Chongyuan really thought about it, but he returned to Chang'an in such an emergency this time, it was not to return to his home, but to save people.

Not long after, before the drum beat, Li Chongyuan returned to his home.

At this time, the old lady was very surprised to see Li Chongyuan coming back at this moment, "Yuan'er, do you have anything important to do when you come back at this hour?"

The old lady didn't know about the arrest of the second brother Zhu.

Although Li Chongyuan asked Liu Xiang to go back to his home to ask the housekeeper for information, but just as the old lady asked, Li Chongyuan knew that the housekeeper must have not reported this matter to the old lady.

"Aniang, it's fine, I just came back to greet you and see if there is anything Aniang needs." Li Chongyuan didn't intend to tell the old lady about it, so as not to annoy her because of it.

Although the old lady is not too old, her body is not as good as imagined.

If there is one thing that can be spared, let it be one thing less, this is what Li Chongyuan thinks of the old lady.

When the old lady heard what Li Chongyuan said, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Auntie is fine, you don't need anything. You are well in Li Zhuang, and Auntie is relieved."

The old lady is very happy at the moment.

There is a saying.

There is no mother who doesn't want her sons and daughters to be around her. After all, as she grows older, every old man always hopes that her sons and daughters can be in front of her. Even if she talks, she is happy. unusual.

Although there is the eldest son Li Chongji and the little guy, the grandson Siwen, in front of the old lady, the old lady still hopes that these children of hers can always be in front of her.

but.

Once you leave the home, you can no longer live in the home, this is the rule.

The three brothers Li Chongxuan, Li Chongxu, and Li Chongyuan lived separately because they received the title early on.

Although the brothers have never been married, they often live in the same family.

At that time, the main reason was that Li Chongji, the eldest brother, was not married, so everyone didn't have to avoid anything, and often lived in the same family.

Even Li Chongzhen lived in his family from time to time.

But after the elder brother Li Chongji got married and married Lin Caishu and came back, Li Chongyuan and his brothers, Li Chongzhen could no longer live in the family.

Fear of being gossiped by others is also for the sake of rules.

but.

After Li Chongyuan returned to his home today, he had to live in his home.

After dinner, Li Chongyuan went to his reserved room, "Xiaoxi, go and find the butler, I have something to ask him."

Li Chongyuan, who returned to the room, dismissed his maid Xiaoxi.

Soon.

The housekeeper came outside Li Chongyuan's room door, knocked lightly on the door, and got Li Chongyuan's permission to enter the room, "Xiao Langjun, did you ask me to come because of the arrest of the Zhu brothers?"

"Yes, butler. How did you find out? Is there any news? I wanted to ask you during dinner, but at that time, Auntie was here, so it's not convenient for me to ask more." Li Chongyuan invited the butler to sit down asked.

The butler shook his head and said, "After Liu Xiang came to see me in the afternoon, I sent someone to inquire about the news. However, apart from hearing that Princess Jinyang made a fuss about Zhong Deming and Zhong Li's residence this afternoon, there was nothing Found some useful news."

"Is there any movement in the palace?" Li Chongyuan immediately frowned when he heard that he said that he hadn't found any news.

When the steward heard that Li Chongyuan was asking about the palace, he glanced at the door and said softly: "Young Lord, if you don't ask, I have to talk. I heard news from the palace that Princess Jinyang made a big fuss between the two of you." After the Holy Majesty found out about the matter of the minister’s mansion, he sent someone to take Princess Jinyang back to the palace. I heard news from people in the palace that Princess Jinyang seemed to have been punished. Princess Yang's ass is bleeding. As for whether the Holy Spirit sent someone out, I don't know."

"Sizi was also harmed by me. This time, I'm afraid it's the punishment that made her suffer. This cousin of mine is really unqualified, so I shouldn't have dragged Sizi into this troubled water. Sigh If you have a chance, make some delicious food to compensate her, otherwise, I really can't bear it." Li Chongyuan heard that Sizi was punished by Li Shimin because of his own affairs, I feel a little depressed.

Sizi made a big fuss in the mansions of the two ministers for himself.

Based on the fact that Li Shimin loves Sizi so much, Li Shimin will definitely not punish Sizi severely, at most he will reprimand Sizi a few times.

But today is not Xibi.

Li Chongyuan guessed that Li Shimin must know the specific reason why Zhong Ji arrested the Zhu brothers.

Arresting people is a normal thing right now, and Li Shimin won't bother with such trivial matters.

Even at this juncture, he, Li Shimin, would not ask about this matter.

Sizi was severely punished, and Li Chongyuan felt a little uncomfortable.

The reason for Li Chongyuan's discomfort was, of course, that there was still no news about the two brothers of the Zhu family under the intervention of the housekeeper. This was the most uncomfortable point for Li Chongyuan.

The distressed Li Chongyuan continued to ask: "When Zhong Ji was arrested from Huxian County and brought to Chang'an, is there no trace left? Such two living people, and Zhong Ji is the county magistrate of Huxian County. If he returns to Chang'an, he must It’s impossible to travel in disguise.”

"This... Mr. Xiaolang doesn't know. Recently, my family is seriously short of staff. I really want to send more people to investigate. In addition, time is not allowed. In the end, I can only send people to investigate Zhong Deming and Zhong Li. Over there. I even sent people to investigate Zhong Ji's mansion in Chang'an, but there is still no news."

Li Chongyuan shook his head and said: "He, Zhong Ji, took the two brothers of the Zhu family back to Chang'an. I guess he would not go back to his own mansion. But Sizi made a big fuss about Zhong Deming's and Zhong Li's mansions. I'm afraid it was Zhong Ji who brought them together. He did not go to the mansion of the elders. I guess, Zhong Ji may have leaned on someone, or brought the Zhu brothers to his backer. Otherwise, Zhong Deming or Zhong Li, the two When people see Sizi making trouble in their mansion, they must dare not refuse to hand him over."

"By the way, just now you said that my family is severely understaffed, so what's the situation?" Li Chongyuan continued to ask after finishing his sentence.

When Li Chongyuan asked about the serious lack of staff in his family, the housekeeper stood up and said, "This, that, by the way, Mr. Zhong, I suddenly remembered that Zhong Ji had a concubine in Chang'an. I can be sure that Zhong Ji Ji might have taken someone to his concubine."

Seeing that the housekeeper didn't talk about manpower, Li Chongyuan couldn't ask more questions.

Li Chongyuan knew that it must have been arranged by his aunt.

As for the butler Zhi Zhi Wuwu dodging vaguely, Li Chongyuan really had an idea in his heart.

"Then tomorrow morning, send someone to check where Zhong Ji's concubine is." Li Chongyuan nodded and replied.

After chatting with the butler for not long, Li Chongyuan sent the butler away.

After the housekeeper left, Li Chongyuan took Siwen to his room again, "Siwen, how does fourth uncle treat you?"

"Fourth Uncle is very kind to me. No, Fourth Uncle, you must mean something when you say that." Siwen was puzzled and looked at Li Chongyuan with a smile on his face.

Li Chongyuan was very embarrassed, "You, you, you are so smart at such a young age, you embarrass fourth uncle."

"Fourth Uncle, just speak up if you have anything to say, you don't need to be polite to me." Siwen asked after sitting down politely.

Li Chongyuan looked at this little guy, he was a little too monstrous.

'I don't know who this little guy looks like, he's old and cunning, if this family doesn't get up in the future, God won't agree. '

Li Chongyuan was a little speechless at the enchanting appearance of this little nephew in front of him.

Smart, so smart.

Li Chongyuan wondered if this little guy came from time travel just like him.

When he was young, Siwen appeared to be very smart and well-behaved. If you say a word, he can answer the next sentence, and he can guess what you are thinking.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan wanted to get this little guy over here, and ask his family about his skills, but just after he said this, the little guy made Li Chongyuan embarrassed.

An eleven or twelve-year-old boy, despite his small size, looks like a treacherous and cunning minister.

Li Chongyuan looked at the little guy, and said with embarrassment on his face: "Well, since you have said that, Siwen, then the fourth uncle can ask directly. The housekeeper said just now that the family is seriously understaffed. Head matter?"

"Fourth Uncle, I thought you were going to ask something very important, but it turned out that you were just asking this little thing." Siwen said.

Li Chongyuan was even more embarrassed when he heard it.

Is it a small thing?

For Li Chongyuan, that was a big deal.

The housekeeper said that his family was severely understaffed, and Li Chongyuan had to know where the people in his family had gone. Why was there a serious shortage of manpower even after checking the news.

Siwen saw that Li Chongyuan's face was a little strange, as if he was afraid that the fourth uncle in front of him would beat him up, and said quickly: "Fourth uncle, after you went to Lingnan, grandma asked the housekeeper to send several groups out. One is to go to Xixiang The second is to go to Xisha Island, and the third is to go to Lingnan. Therefore, the mansion is really seriously short of manpower. However, the people who went to Lingnan are already on their way back to Beijing. As for the people in the other two places, I have never heard of it. There are signs of coming back. By the way, fourth uncle, after you came back, didn't you find that there were many people missing in the house?"

"This...fourth uncle really didn't notice this." After hearing Siwen's words, Li Chongyuan was very moved.

Li Chongyuan really didn't know that his seemingly good-natured mother was making such arrangements behind her back.

He, Li Chongyuan, has four major concerns.

The first is Lizhuang, the second is the fief of Xixiang, the third is Xisha Island, and the last is the planting base of Zhenzhou.

The four places she cared about, but the old lady arranged three groups of people to go to three places.

Even in a place so far south of the Five Ridges, the old lady sent a group of people to secretly protect Li Chongyuan.

now.

Li Chongyuan was so moved that he was so confused that in an instant, tears welled up in his eye sockets, and in a short while, the tears in his eye sockets gushed like a spring, dripping to the ground.

Seeing Li Chongyuan burst into tears suddenly, Siwen said a little helplessly, "Fourth Uncle, don't cry, I didn't bully you."

"Go, go, little guy, you're the only one who bullies Fourth Uncle, be careful I'll beat you." Li Chongyuan raised his arm to wipe away his tears, pretending to beat someone.

Shame.

And it was embarrassing in front of his juniors.

Li Chongyuan felt that he was almost ashamed.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan said he would change, Siwen ran out of the door as if fleeing, and pretended to cry to Li Chongyuan, saying: "Fourth Uncle, you must be a woman."
