Li Shimin

Chapter 812 Someone Deceiving?

Pyongyang City, the Royal Palace.

In the hall, after sitting down, Li Yuan asked Li Yuanjing.

"Liulang, the person who patrols the streets of Pyongyang City is your confidant?"

Li Yuanjing was taken aback, and quickly replied.

"Aye, the person who patrols the streets of Pyongyang City is a general under Hai'er, and he is now the captain of Pyongyang City!"

"So, he will be in charge of all the generals in Pyongyang?"

Li Yuan asked thoughtfully.

"Back to Aye, that's exactly it!" Li Yuanjing replied.

"Wouldn't the imperial guards in your palace be handed over to him as well?"

Thinking of something, Li Yuan asked again.

"Aye, don't worry, the guards in the palace are under the jurisdiction of Li Cheng, the personal guard commander that the boy brought from Chang'an City!"

Li Yuanjing quickly replied.

Immediately, after regaining consciousness, his face changed.

"Isn't Ayemo worried that the captain of Pyongyang City is being unfaithful to the boy? Aye, don't worry, the captain of Pyongyang City Liu Zongxin is also a member of the old mansion of the boy, and he is loyal to the boy!"

"The old man didn't suspect his infidelity!"

Li Yuan sighed softly, "The old man just thinks that he's being obedient to you, deceiving you, and ruining your affairs!"

"what?"

Li Yuanjing's expression changed again, "Forgive me, Aye, you have never met this person, how can you think that he is obedient to the child, but where did you get the news?"

"What happened on the road today, you said they were teaching the local ruffians a lesson?"

Li Yuan asked slowly.

"Aye, but what's wrong?"

Li Yuanjing asked with some doubts.

"How can a rogue bully afford silk?"

Li Yuan sneered, and continued: "Also, can the local ruffians make them fat and fat?"

"This……"

Now, Li Yuanjing also sensed that something was wrong.

"Aye, you mean that guy Liu Zongxin is lying to the boy?"

After saying that, Li Yuanjing got angry, and said directly: "Don't worry, Aye, I will order someone to call him here, and ask him face to face!"

"Ask clearly in person?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Yuanjing with a strange expression, "Why do you ask? If he refuses to admit it, or maybe the old man misunderstood him, or his subordinates are treating him in a wrong way, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing took a deep breath, frowned and thought for a moment, then said.

"Aye, don't worry, my boy, the servant will go to investigate privately!"

"Wait a moment!"

Li Yuan waved his hand, "Calm down when you encounter something!"

"Make Aye laugh!"

Li Yuanjing saluted Li Yuan slowly and calmed down for a while.

Li Yuan asked again: "Then Liu Zongxin usually gives you some good things?"

Hearing this, Li Yuanjing couldn't help thinking of something, and a look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but under Li Yuan's gaze, he nodded slowly.

"Aye Yingming, then Liu Zongxin can always offer some novelties to the children every now and then, such as the high-quality century-old Goguryeo ginseng, and some Goguryeo female slaves, Silla female slaves, Japanese female slaves...even some gold and silver jewelry, fine iron You can donate some food and food to the children.

If it weren't for him, the child's life would not be so nourishing. "

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression didn't change at all, and he continued, "What about the rest of the courtiers, did they offer these to you?"

"Aye's intention?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yuanjing's eyes.

"Liu Zongxin is only a small captain of Pyongyang, and he can get so many good things. Then, what about the governor of Pyongyang City? And the captain of Yasan Harbor? Their official positions are also very important, so they didn't take advantage of their positions. In order to make some money out of it?
Also, do you know how Liu Zongxin got so many items in Pyongyang?Is what he contributed to you only [-]% or [-]% of his own?
Have you been to Liu Zongxin's residence, or have you sent someone to investigate Liu Zongxin's family property? "

In an instant, Li Yuan asked a series of questions.

"Back to Aye, my boy was also curious, but Liu Zongxin told my boy that those were specially sent by some rich businessmen and dignitaries in Goguryeo to make friends with him, or some people just to curry favor with my boy!"

Li Yuanjing replied bitterly: "However, I didn't expect that Liu Zongxin would dare to deceive my boy."

"In addition, all the courtiers under Hai'er, including Shi Bohua, the captain of Nayashan Harbor, also donated some money and jewelry to Hai'er. However, both the value and the quantity are not as good as Liu Zongxin's."

"Since Liu Zongxin dared to give you so much treasure and gave you so many treasures, is it possible to also send some money or female slaves to the guards in your palace?"

Li Yuan asked.

Li Yuanjing's expression changed again, "Aye, Liu Zongxin and the guards in Hai'er's Palace are all close friends of Hai'er's old mansion, this matter is very possible!"

"Since that's the case, then let those cronies go out to investigate Liu Zongxin. I'm afraid what you find out is what Liu Zongxin wants you to know!" Li Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Or, even if those guards are still loyal to you, they won't report everything about Liu Zongxin to you due to Liu Zongxin's affection!"

"Aye, please teach me?"

Now, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but panic.

It's been less than two years since he came to Goguryeo, and he's almost being ostracized by his subordinates!
"Xuan Ba ​​is in Pyongyang City, there should be some trustworthy people!"

Li Yuan chuckled and turned to look at Li Xuan.

"There is a tea shop and a bank. There seems to be an accountant in the prince's mansion. In addition, there should be some caravan managers. They are either from my mansion, or from Gao Ming or Chongyi's mansion. Ask them some words, they should still be trustworthy!"

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan replied directly.

Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded slightly, and said: "Go and find them, they know the best in Pyongyang City, just ask about the situation face to face, and you will know!"

"Yes, Ayer!"

Li Yuanjing's face brightened, and he cupped his hands and responded to Li Yuan.

Immediately, he looked at Li Xuan again.

"So, I need to trouble Brother Sanwang!"

"No problem!"

Li Xuan nodded slowly, then looked directly at Xue Rengui who was beside him.

"Go to Zheng Fu, bring a team of personal guards, and call the shopkeeper of the tea shop in Pyongyang, the accountant of the bank, as well as the stewards of glass, sofas, and book caravans to the palace, and say that the king is here. Goguryeo, I have something to tell them!"

"Yes, Master!"

Xue Rengui responded, got up and walked out quickly.

Immediately, they went to Zheng Fu, called a hundred guards, and divided them into three teams. Under the leadership of the guards in Li Yuanjing's palace, they found a tea shop, a bank, and the other courtyard of the King Jin's caravan.

And when those people heard that King Jin had summoned them, they were all beaming with joy.

Without asking any more questions, he just tidied up and followed a group of personal guards to the palace.
