Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 275
Guangdaofang.

This is the best Fangshi in the northern part of Luoyang. After leaving the Fangshi, it is Hanjiamen in the imperial city.

It can be said that at the feet of the real emperor, the price of land is very high.

But the Gong family not only owns three sprawling mansions here, but also has a huge mansion in Zhengdaofang above and Huaqingfang below.

These houses still have their origins. During the Xianqing period, Li Zhi promulgated the "Edict of Jiandong Capital", saying that Luoyang "Zhongzi universe, tributes to the four directions, regardless of wind and rain, and are all courts in all countries", and changed it to Dongdu. Since then Datang officially implemented the two-capital system.

Once it is designated as Kyoto, the specifications will be different immediately. Although the foundation of Miyagi has already been laid by Yang Guang, it still needs a lot of repair work. As a local wealthy family, the Gong family is the first to respond, donating money and materials .

The savings of Zhenguan Zhizhi were still very rich in that year. Li Zhi did not lack this property at all. What he valued was his attitude. After all, Changsun Wuji was not dead at that time, and the Gong family was also firmly in line. Therefore, Li Zhilong was very happy and rewarded him in one breath. built several mansions.

At this time, Gong Siguang was sitting on the green horse, looking up at the towering Zhumen, feeling very proud, the corners of his mouth were full of complacency: "The barbarians of Longyou, how do you know how famous my Gong family is?"

Entering the mansion, passing through the long front yard, until the front of the hall, after Gong Siguang got off his horse, he stretched his arms and walked forward, seven or eight maidservants surrounded him and changed his clothes all the way, he turned his head, carelessly He asked, "Has the second brother come back?"

Hao Nu beside him immediately said: "I just came back, and I am in the middle hall."

Gong Siguang smiled and said: "Oh? It's early today, it seems I'm lucky."

In the middle hall, Gong Siming was checking the documents.

After confirming that the Crown Prince and all the officials were going to visit the Eastern Capital, all the officials in Luoyang were extremely busy during this period, and Gong Siming, who was the Sima of Luoyang, was no exception.

He is tall and tall, with a beautiful beard under his chin, and a dignified appearance. Even when he is sitting, he has a majestic aura, but he has worked hard for many days, and his brows are somewhat tired. When he saw Gong Siguang walking in, he showed helplessness: "Goro , what happened to you again?"

Gong Siguang suddenly became unhappy: "Second brother, what are you talking about? I'm not a loafer, how can I cause trouble all day long?"

Gong Siming was too lazy to talk to him, so he uttered a word: "Say."

Gong Siguang said loudly: "I didn't cause trouble this time. I just saw a grass flying in Nanshi. It is very spiritual and can understand people's language. I have never seen it before. I want to buy it... I will buy it this time... You are really polite, at first you promised a lot of money, and later you allowed him to do things cheaply in Luoyang, not only did he not sell, but he was also very arrogant, let me come back and find out what kind of person Li Yuanfang is."

Hearing the front, Gong Siming showed an expression as expected: "It's such a trivial matter again!"

At the end, Gong Siming was stunned: "Who are you talking about?"

Gong Siguang said: "It's called Li Yan, its character is Yuanfang, and its posture is arrogant. I think this is Chang'an!"

Gong Siming's complexion changed, but he shook his head again: "It's unlikely, he should be by the prince's side, why did he appear in Nanshi? How old is he, and where is he from?"

Gong Siguang said: "You seem to be quite old, but you are not yet crowned, and you are a young man. He said that he was from the Li family in Longxi. He didn't say which family, but he probably belongs to the side of the small family!"

There was no luck in Gong Siming's heart, his face suddenly changed, his tall body stood upright, he rushed forward with a stride, kicked the younger brother to the ground, and roared: "Li Yuanfang's grandfather is Li Yaoshi, the Duke of Wei, he It's Dan Yangfang's direct descendant!! Side branch... side branch...you ignorant fool who knows how to cause trouble all day long!"

Gong Siguang was stunned by the kick, rolling around on the ground, dodging left and right: "Second brother...you...what are you doing..."

Gong Siming was tired from kicking, his chest heaved violently, and he said coldly, "Is it just to buy leopard cats? What else did you say?"

Gong Siguang knew something was wrong, he shrank his neck and said, "I didn't say... I didn't say anything..."

Gong Siming said decisively: "Impossible. If you didn't say anything, why would Li Yuanfang say such things? He is a minister of the state supervisor. Me, don't miss anything!"

Gong Siguang muttered for a while, but he didn't want to say anything, he was kicked hard again, the hairpin on his head fell off, and he immediately said with a mournful face: "I promised a lot of money first, but he didn't want to, I thought he was going Luoyang was doing business, and he promised to get a shop, but he was still unwilling. Later, I heard this person asked about the prince and officials coming to Luoyang, what was the reaction in the city? ..."

Gong Siming's body swayed, and all the strength to kick people disappeared: "Did you tell me about 'Wan Lang'?"

Gong Siguang said in a low voice: "It's not a secret, the gentry in Guan Nei is also like this, didn't the Li family in Longxi do such a thing?"

Gong Siming gritted his teeth: "At this time and at that time, after the crown prince took charge of the country, he ordered the gentry in the pass to release food. This is to take advantage of the disaster to attack us and other gentry! The queen even made a move on Jingzhao Wei, obviously it was Throwing her power, and the saint seems to be sick, but who knows if it is...Anyway, in this period, you can't be caught!"

He didn't go on, he was afraid that his incompetent brother would talk too much and leak his words, so he returned to his seat and sat down slowly: "Something is going to happen!"

Gong Siguang climbed up cautiously, rubbed his body, grinned and said, "Who the hell is Li Yuanfang? According to the second brother, is he really qualified to be arrogant?"

Gong Siming looked at him weakly: "Are you the same as those ordinary people? You don't care about the affairs of the court at all? Do you know who is the biggest promoter of the prince and officials entering Luoyang this time?"

Gong Siguang was stunned: "Could it be him?"

Gong Siming said: "It's this person. Li Yuanfang was originally the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty who was sent to Tubo. , let traitors bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"How dare he!!"

Gong Siguang blurted out, and then realized: "So, he is being polite to me instead?"

Gong Siming said: "Li Yuanfang scolded the queen, the sage just punished him slightly, and even ordered him to assist the crown prince in overseeing the country. Of course, it was because of what the queen did that provoked all the officials to plead guilty and angered the sage, but you can try it as another courtier! "

"This person was originally from the Li family in Longxi. He is the grandson of Duke Li. Later, he joined the inner guard and became an envoy. He is the youngest of the fifth rank. He has repeatedly solved important cases and even sent envoys to Tubo to offer prisoners!"

"If it wasn't for his young age, he would have already surpassed rank five. The sage obviously trusts him very much. Li Yuanfang is the most difficult to provoke when he assists the crown prince to supervise the country this time. You actually provoke him for a cat, for a cat! He, return Xu Guan! I'm going to be pissed off by you!!"

Seeing that the second brother's face became livid as he talked, and finally became more ferocious, Gong Siguang tremblingly said: "I really don't recognize him, but he is a little familiar... Ah! I remembered, the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce in Jiangnan is Isn't it also related to this person?"

"Compared to the court dispute, what is the friction of the chamber of commerce?"

Gong Siming was so angry that he got a headache: "Get out! Get out!"

Gong Siguang seemed to be pardoned: "Then I will resign, second brother, don't be too angry, at worst I will lose face and go to make amends to him..."

He was originally speaking politely, but Gong Siming pressed his forehead, and suddenly said: "Wait, you are right, go and apologize to Li Yuanfang, check his tone, and see if this person came to Luoyang first, is he planning?" doing what."

Gong Siguang's body froze, he wanted to pretend he didn't hear, and walked out quickly.

"stop!"

He didn't turn around until Gong Siming sternly reprimanded him, with a sad face: "Second brother, please forgive me, this kind of thing is too embarrassing, I really can't do it!"

Gong Siming said coldly: "Don't you think that our Gong clan is stronger than Longxi Li clan? Or is your grandfather and me, comparable to Wei Guogong? No matter your status or status, you are far behind Li Yuanfang! You are dressed in white, Going to make amends to the five ranks of the imperial court, why are you wronged instead?"

Their grandfather, Gong Yi, was just a Chen Cangling when the Tang Dynasty was established, and his status was so different from Li Jingtian's, there was no comparison at all.

But later, he worked hard to manage the land of Bianzhou. After three generations of hard work, coupled with finding the right time to stand in line, he achieved the current magnificent situation and became the leading wealthy family in Henan.

But in terms of background, after all, it is much worse than those high-ranking students, and the students in the school are even more mixed, and there are many wanderers.

Gong Siming glared at this younger brother viciously: "You were domineering and unscrupulous when you were young. After being reprimanded many times, you finally restrained yourself, but you still caused trouble in the end!"

"It's not just you, you group of incompetent people are all doing mischief outside, and there will always be a day of disaster for the family!"

"I made a decision today. If I can't even do this, I will be expelled from the house, and don't call me Gong's son!"

Hearing that he was expelled from the house, Gong Siguang turned pale in shock, knowing that the elder brother was serious, he finally said: "Okay! I'll go! I'll go!"

Seeing him leaving the middle hall in a daze, Gong Siming ordered the servants again: "Go and call Sanlang back."

Gong Siming's next goal is the Luoyang Order. At that time, the position of Sima will be inherited by his third brother Gong Siye. Their lineage will firmly control Luoyang, and then let the brothers in the clan spread branches and leaves in various states. Only when the power stretches for several generations is a truly stable clan.

Gong Siye hurried back quickly, and after hearing the news, his expression changed dramatically: "Li Yuanfang went to Luoyang first with a light car, it's obvious that the visitor was not kind, and he couldn't be targeting us, right?"

Gong Siming shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's for the prince to find out the situation. This time the prince's supervision of the country is obviously different from the past, so we need to be more cautious! Alas, if the prince just asks for some property, he will give it up. I'm afraid he will Want more!"

Speaking of this, thinking of a group of uneasy clansmen, Gong Siming asked: "Have they not done anything evil recently?"

Gong Siye paused insignificantly, and replied: "It's nothing serious, I can handle it!"

Gong Siming pressed his forehead again: "That's good! That's good! It's impossible for the crown prince and all the officials to stay in Luoyang permanently. After we get through it, it's still my Gong family who has the final say!"

……

the other side.

Li Yan's interest was not disturbed by Gong Siguang, and he took Wan'er around Nanshi for a long time.

Wan'er took out the small purse at her waist, bought a small bracelet, and put it on her wrist happily, happily all the way.

When he arrived at the post house, the little prince had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the two of them, he excitedly greeted him: "Master, Senior Sister, you are here!"

Li Yan smiled: "Go in and talk."

The three masters and apprentices entered the post house, and when it was time to eat, they were eating and talking, when they suddenly heard movement from outside.

Soon the officials came in a hurry, and reported with a strange expression: "Li Jiyi, there is a gentleman outside, with a few thorns on his back, he said he wanted to apologize!"
