retaliate

Chapter 1490

King Xiang went into the bedroom and asked someone to call his son Li Zhen.

"You should know a lot of things."

King Xiang said softly: "Back then, he was full of filial piety to the emperor and wanted to revolutionize the Tang Dynasty. In the first battle, he wanted to break the foundation of the aristocratic family. How could those people be easy to get along with each other, so the two sides faced each other tit for tat. And your Ah Weng, blended in..."

……

Li Zhen took a breath, "Co-author, our family was also among them?"

King Xiang nodded, "Moreover, it's very deeply mixed."

"Then...Although I have never met Li Xuan, I have also heard many things about him. He is decisive in killing and punishing. If we let him know what our family did during the downfall of the emperor, our family will be afraid. They all have to go north to build roads."

Li Zhen just thought about the difficulty of building the road in the howling north wind, and he shuddered.

The captives of the Northern Liao Dynasty had a way to atone for their sins, but if they were caught, they could only be with the mud for the rest of their lives.

"You old man once said that it is too simple to be filial to the emperor." King Xiang smiled strangely, "A prince! How can he be so simple? But filial piety is just like that."

"If it's pure, how can the empress make him the crown prince?" Li Zhen felt wrong.

"His innocence is right for his own relatives!" King Xiang smiled strangely, "For his opponent, he is not simple. At that time, he said in the court that the people of Tang Dynasty should not be slaves. Those aristocratic families didn't think so. , but I didn’t expect Emperor Xiaojing to go to Chang’an and Wannian to check the household registration of the past ten years when he turned around. God, where did I remember to check? Those people panicked..."

"So, Ah Weng got involved?"

"Our family also has many servants!" King Xiang said.

"Then... how does filial piety treat Ah Weng and you?"

"That man..." King Xiang narrowed his eyes and recalled, "He respects you, Aunt, and is very kind to this old man. He often asks me about my studies and warns me that even if you are a clan, it is impossible Messing around and waiting to die... To be honest, being filial to this old man is really good, even if he is a real brother, he is not as kind as him."

"But you and A Weng..."

"It's all about profit." King Xiang said coldly: "What does our family depend on? It depends on the fields. Without the servants' fields, it is not as good as the mountains and forests. That is the root of our family, understand?"

"He wants to dig our roots... to revitalize Datang?" Li Zhen felt that the courage of filial piety was really commendable.

"Whether the Tang Dynasty is revitalized or not, what does it matter to us?"

King Xiang waved his hands, and the candlelight reflected his figure on the wall. The waving hands looked like a pair of sharp claws...

"Whoever touches our roots is our sworn enemy. No matter who it is!"

……

Li Zhen stared blankly at his father, "Aye, will he take revenge?"

"meeting!"

King Xiang smiled and said: "There are only five people who know what happened back then, two of them are very old and have just been killed by the old man. One followed the old man to Shu this time. He stumbled and fell to his death."

"It's fate!" Li Zhen laughed.

"There are two other people in Guanzhong. Those two idiots were your guards back then. Before I went to Sichuan, I ordered them to stay at home. After Li Xuan defeated Shi Zhongtang, those two people swept away the money and disappeared. .”

"They are worried about Li Xuan's revenge!"

"Do not."

King Xiang shook his head.

"They are worried that the old man will silence him!"

……

"Then... it is possible to find those two people?"

"There is no need to panic." King Xiang reassured the prince, "Since the two of them have stolen money, they just want to hide and enjoy themselves. In this case, they will definitely not inform Li Xuan. The old man has already sent someone to find them. They, Doomed!"

"Okay!" Li Zhen waved his fist and said happily.

"Idiot!" King Xiang smiled, "This old man is Li Xuan's uncle. If he can't find any evidence, how dare he attack this old man? But if he dares, not only the clan, but everyone in the world will condemn him."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "Filial piety is the first thing to do! Uncle, you have to be filial!"

"Hahahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, two proud figures reflected on the wall.

……

The old thief and Wang Laoer stopped going halfway.

"They're up ahead."

The old thief entered Wugong County.

Wugong County belongs to Jingzhao Mansion, and it is not too far from Chang'an after arriving here.

After the two entered the city, the old thief cautiously did not seek assistance from the local officials, but first surveyed the surrounding areas.

"Why are you looking at these?" Wang Laoer impatiently followed the old thief all over the streets and alleys of the city.

"The rules passed down from the ancestors, our business is digging people's graves. If we are accidentally caught, we will be beaten to death. So when we get to the ground, don't rush to dig a hole, first survey the surroundings. Xiao Pan , remember this."

Pan Zheng followed behind, "Yes, Master!"

"The mantle of the old man will depend on you to inherit it in the future!"

The old thief patted his disciple on the shoulder, Wang Laoer said: "Prince Xiang is His Majesty's uncle, should we go straight to find him, or investigate outside?"

"Even if the current King Xiang is involved in what happened back then, it is only an assistant. It must be the former King Xiang Li Duo who did it. If you want to find it, you must look for it from the people around Li Duo back then."

The old thief and others returned to the reverse journey.

"Here's something to eat." Wang Lao Er shouted that he was hungry when he entered the room.

The old thief sat down, "The people from Jinyiwei will cooperate with us this time. In Chang'an, they will investigate the people left behind in Prince Xiang's mansion. According to reports, there are a few old people who followed Li Duo. Just pry them open mouth, King Xiang is doomed."

The two of them ate and wanted to rest when someone from Jin Yiwei came.

"There was news from Chang'an that there were two guards of Li Duo in Prince Xiang's mansion back then. After the news of His Majesty's defeat of Shi Zhongtang reached Chang'an, those two men ran away with money."

"This is self-inflicted!" A stern look flashed in the old thief's eyes, "Prince Xiang, it really is a big fish."

"Tsk!" Wang Laoer said with a headache, "Maybe we can find those two?"

"Brothers are pursuing."

……

On the third day, mighty chariots and horses entered Wugong County.

King Xiang's family was among them.

There were too many people in this group, and the county couldn't accept them, and many of them were eager to return, so they simply bought dry food and continued on their way.

And King Xiang is not young anymore, he wants to rest in martial arts for a few days.

That night, the old thief and Wang Laoer found the Nilv where they were staying.

"Aren't you afraid of scaring the snake?" Wang Laoer asked in a low voice.

The old thief looked up at the wooden pillar and shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't care about this."

He was just about to climb up the wooden pillar, but Wang Laoer held him back.

The old thief looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Wang Laoer pinched his nose, retched a bit, pointed to the right side, and signaled someone.

The old thief didn't believe it, "This old man has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, isn't he as good as you?"

Wang Laoer squatted down, picked up a small stone, and threw it to the left, and the two leaned against the wall immediately.

puff!
Amidst the sound of fluttering clothes, a black shadow flew over from the right.

Hey!
In the dark, the old thief looked at Wang's second son, and wanted to pinch him in disbelief.

Wang Laoer pointed to the top.

The two climbed up, and quietly rolled into the room of King Xiang's staff.

Half an hour later, outside Wugong County.

"The old man has already said that the king sent people to go to Sanyuan to look for those two people earlier..."

"How many people went?"

"More than ten people."

"How long have you been walking?"

"One day."

"go!"

……

At dawn, after King Xiang woke up, he received a bad news.

"Mr. Ma is gone."

Mr. Ma is an aide of King Xiang. He has advised King Xiang for many years, and he can be called a confidant of his confidants.

"Is there any trace?" King Xiang asked coldly.

"Yes, it looks like someone has entered."

"Aye!" Li Zhen's face turned pale, "It's him! It must be him!"

King Xiang lowered his voice and roared: "Immediately send people to catch up with those who silenced them, and let them rush to Sanyuan to silence them. Tell them, if those two are caught, no one can escape, it's everyone! "

……

"Your Majesty, Jia Shangshu said that he found some clues and went to Sanyuan."

"understood."

The emperor picked up the memorial and said to A Liang: "A minister advised me not to treat Shangshu as an errand boy...you are talking about an old thief."

Ah Liang said: "Is this wrong?"

"That's right." The emperor said, "I was used to them, so I subconsciously sent the old thief and the second child out."

"That must be important."

A Liang is very caring to find a reason for the old father.

"That's right!" the emperor said, "That matter is not just a personal enmity, but also related to the overall situation of subsequent reforms. If those people are not cleaned up, the spirits of your grandma and you will not be able to rest in peace. It's hard to tell if my father stabbed me with a knife."

……

Mihara.

More than half a year ago, two businessmen came here. They were not too young. They set up a shop in the city, sold some sundries, and settled down quietly.

There are countless people like this in Sanyuan City, and no one will pay attention to two guys who look very old.

When I get up to open the door every day, the business is probably not very good. The two of them just sit in the shop and talk in a low voice, occasionally looking up, they can see the worry in the depths of their eyes.

……

"drive!"

More than ten riders are on their way at full speed.

When they saw Sanyuan City, they looked at each other and were very happy.

"Find them."

The leading man was Xiao Lin, and he entered Sanyuan City with more than a dozen bodyguards of King Xiang. He was a little stunned looking at the lush streets, but he immediately ordered: "One person will go to the government to buy the little officials, and check the people who have settled in the city for the past half a year. The ... age must match. Others, rest!"

The first reaction of the rich and powerful when encountering something is: what kind of power should I use, or what relationship should I use to solve this matter.

But the old thief and Wang Laoer are different.

A quarter of an hour later, the two also brought dozens of horses into the city.

"Ask the local villain for questioning."

The old thief and Wang Laoer found the local villain, and the accompanying Jin Yiwei took out a sign and threatened them.Then the old thief and Wang Laoer smiled and took out a piece of silver.

"Find those two!"

The money was thrown over, and the leader of the evil young man took it, and the little brother beside him asked, "Aren't you afraid that we will run away, my lord?"

The old thief said with a smile: "You try to run?"

If the villains knew the identities of the two in front of them, they would be scared out of their wits.

One is Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is General Qianniuwei...

The evil boys started immediately.

Xiao Lin and others were waiting outside the county hall, while the old thief and Wang Laoer were eating and drinking in the wine shop.

It is easy to do things with money, and the two petty officials began to search for household registration...

The wicked youngsters dispersed, looking for news everywhere...

Half an hour later, there was a cheer in the county hall.

"found it."

"Look but?"

"It's them!"

……

"You two noblemen, we have found those two."

"Second, let's go!"

A group of people had enough to eat and drink, and followed a few evil young men to find the shop.

"It's in there."

……

"They're right ahead!"

……

"Go!"

More than ten sergeants rushed into the shop...
