Mr. Yangui

Chapter 79
The scuffle in the west of the city finally came to an end at dawn.

Because the actions of the two sides were too big and the battle lasted too long, it was far from an ordinary rivers and lakes battle. It had already threatened the security of Chang'an City and alarmed Cui Ping, the commander of the city defense army.

Cui Ping directly dispatched a 500-man brigade to take control of the overall situation, and the Jin Palace and the Hanshui Gang stopped the fighting and retreated.

After seeing the city defense army, Li Wuchang's trio immediately withdrew to the east of the city and went back to their homes. Li Wuchang climbed over the wall and returned to Li's mansion, and Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun naturally returned to Xuanpingfang.

In the scuffle last night, the Hanshui Gang and Prince Jin's Mansion dispatched more than 300 people. The losses of both sides were extremely heavy, and the streets in the west of the city were full of blood.

Zhu Changlong, the second son of the Hanshui Gang, made a prompt decision, withdrew from the stronghold in the west of the city, dismantled the team, broke it up into pieces, hid it, and waited for the opportunity to leave the city.

On the other hand, Lu Yuanfeng was furious, smashed the table, yelled and vowed to wipe out the Hanshui gang, this time he not only lost the general Mo Laosan, but also lost many good players.

This incident shook the entire city of Chang'an.

Therefore, the Jin Palace was involved, and after Cui Ping, the commander of the city defense army, stopped the scuffle, he went directly to the palace to report to the emperor, asking for instructions.

The emperor was silent for a long while, then Lu Yuanfeng, King Xuanjin, and Li Lingwu, the commander of the imperial guards, entered the palace.

The four of them discussed for a whole morning before breaking up. When Lu Yuanfeng, Li Lingwu, and Cui Ping left the palace, they had different expressions.

Lu Yuanfeng's complexion was ashen, his footsteps were like the wind, and he left Li Lingwu and Cui Ping behind in a short while.

Li Lingwu was as calm as ever, without any emotion or anger. Looking at Lu Yuanfeng's back, he said calmly, "Commander Cui, it seems that King Jin is very angry!"

Cui Ping was not as calm as Li Lingwu, with an unnatural expression on his face, he said: "My lord Li, I just follow the rules and serve the emperor."

After a pause, he continued: "The scene last night was too chaotic. The officials can only use heavy hands to stop the fighting quickly. They made such a big commotion, how can they be suppressed? It is also helpless for the officials to report to the emperor. , Mr. Li, you said this... ah!"

Last night, Prince Jin's Mansion was about to win. When they suppressed the Hanshui gang, they were disturbed by the city defense army who rushed out halfway.

Now even the emperor knew about it, and he was furious, and severely reprimanded Lu Yuanfeng.

Lu Yuanfeng hated Cui Ping in his heart, he meddled in his own business and made small reports.

When he was leaving just now, Lu Yunfeng gave Cui Ping a cold look, which meant to tell Cui Ping that Lu Yuanfeng remembered this account.

Cui Pingquan was powerful and trusted by the emperor and Taiwei Lu Shiqing, naturally he would not be afraid, but he was a little speechless, being targeted by Lu Yuanfeng was not a good thing.

Li Lingwu comforted: "It is our duty to be a courtier to be loyal to the emperor. Don't worry, Commander Cui, your actions will be seen by the emperor, and King Jin will never make things difficult for you."

Cui Ping cupped his hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your teaching."

Li Lingwu nodded, and said: "The emperor ordered you to deal with the follow-up matters. I also want to investigate the Hanshui Gang. We will drink together next time."

The two arched their hands at the gate of the palace and said goodbye.

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue, who were waiting at the gate of the palace, greeted them.

Li Qing asked: "Brother, are you okay?"

Li Lingwu shook his head and said, "Have you sent someone to the west of the city to keep an eye on it?"

Li Qing nodded and said: "After receiving the news, I immediately sent someone to investigate. There is no news about the Hanshui Gang yet, and it seems that they are hiding it."

Li Zhongyue asked: "Brother, what is the emperor's attitude when the Hanshui gang made such a big commotion this time?"

Li Lingwu exhaled and sighed, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue looked at the somewhat helpless Li Lingwu, and knew in their hearts that the emperor probably still didn't have the idea to completely deal with the Hanshui Gang, so they sighed secretly.

Smuggling, robbery, kidnapping, brawls, murder and arson, the Hanshui Gang has almost done all the bad things that should be done, why does the emperor still want to keep the Hanshui Gang?
Is it because of Emperor Taizu?
Back then, he helped Emperor Taizu start his family from Yandi and marched to the Central Plains. He stayed in Xiangyang City for a long time and received strong support from local gangs, and the Hanshui Gang was one of them.

Did Emperor Taizu leave any ancestral precepts?
Li Qing thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Back at the gate of Li's Mansion, the three of Li Lingwu and Li Wuchang saw Li Wuchang who was about to go out.

Li Wuchang had a happy expression on his face, a little smug, and he walked with the wind, it seemed that there was some happy event.

"Impermanence, what are you doing here?" Li Qing asked.

"I met my father, I met my two uncles." After Li Wuchang saw Li Lingwu and others, he put away his foolish look and greeted them respectfully.

Then he explained: "I'm going out to buy some firecrackers."

Li Qingqi asked: "Why buy firecrackers?"

Li Wuchang laughed and said, "Uncle Qing, why are you making such a fuss, buying firecrackers is of course a celebration."

After a pause, he whispered: "I heard that the bastards from the Hanshui gang fought with the Prince Jin's mansion last night. These two groups have enmity with me. They bite dogs. Of course I want to celebrate."

After that, he showed a complacent look.

Seeing that Li Lingwu and the others were speechless, Li Wuchang coughed lightly and said, "By the way, Uncle Qing, did you catch that Zhu Changlong?"

"Zhu Changlong?" Li Zhongyue asked with a frown.

Last night, the Hanshui Gang was led by Zhu Changlong, the second son of the Hanshui Gang?
Li Lingwu and the others didn't know who led the Hanshui Gang, so why did Li Wuchang say Zhu Changlong's name so naturally?
Li Wu could see that Li Lingwu and the other three were staring at him suspiciously. Knowing that he had slipped his tongue in a moment of complacency, he coughed lightly and explained: "The rumor is that Zhu Changlong is causing trouble."

Li Qing was very curious, and said: "I sent a lot of people to the west of the city to investigate. One morning passed, and I didn't even see a small member of the Hanshui Gang, but you knew from the gossip that the Hanshui Gang led the team people?"

Li Wuchang spread his hands and asked, "Uncle Qing, how many people did you send?"

Li Qing replied: "Eight masters."

Li Wuchang sneered, and said, "Only eight? Let's do a calculation. There are about [-] or so gangs of local ruffians and scoundrels who live in Dongshi, adding up to hundreds of people. The largest gang depends on me." During the meal, the leader of the gang is called Fat Bear, who has some face in Dongshi. As long as I give an order, Fat Xiong can gather all the thirty or so gangs in Dongshi, and all of them will become my eyes and ears. More efficient than your eight masters, Uncle Qing!"

Li Wuchang does have this ability, but what happened last night was not found out by Fat Bear, but Li Wuchang's personal experience.

Li Qing froze for a moment, speechless.

Li Wuchang continued: "Not only do I know that Zhu Changlong was leading the Hanshui Gang last night, but I also know that the Jin Palace is leading the team with two ruthless characters, one is Cheng Laoer, the other is Mo Laosan, and that Mo Laosan It has the strength of the seventh grade, but it is a pity that it was cut in half with a knife."

After a pause, he looked at Li Qing and asked, "Uncle Qing, is it detailed enough? Is there anything else you need to know?"

Li Lingwu and Li Zhongyue squinted their eyes at Li Wuchang, thoughtful.

Is this bastard Li Wuchang so powerful now?
Li Qing was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly, and said: "My boy, I really have you. Since you are so powerful, I really want to ask you something about your Uncle Qing."

Li Wuchang nodded, motioning for Li Qing to ask casually.

Li Qingdao: "As far as I know, Prince Jin's Mansion and the Hanshui Gang have a very good relationship. How could they fight in the west of the city?"

Li Wuchang cut out, and said: "The friendship is good? Then why did the Jin Palace send people to Nanshan to kill the people of the Hanshui Gang?"

Li Qing said: "Even if there is a grievance between the two sides, both the Jin Palace and the Hanshui Gang are relatively calm on weekdays, and it is impossible to make such a big commotion. Their actions last night were too unusual."

Li Wuchang showed a meaningful smile, and asked: "If I say that I planned this matter, will Uncle Qing hand me over?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Lingwu and the other three frowned at the same time.

Li Wuchang hurriedly said: "Just kidding, just kidding."

Then his face became serious, and he continued: "I really don't know, but I can guess what's going on."

Then the three of them were invited to sit down in the side hall of the front yard, and with a smile, they said, "I guess, it's some insidious guy who has enmity with Prince Jin's Mansion and the Hanshui Gang, so he secretly planned this matter."

After a pause, he continued: "This insidious guy has a lot of means. He used rumors, assassinations, and sowing dissension to lure people from Jinwangfu and Hanshui Gang to the west of the city, and then sent a few masters to pretend to be Jinwangfu. Or the people of the Hanshui Gang, taking advantage of the darkness, specifically looking for the orderly strikers, and using all means to provoke the anger of both parties. The people of the Jin Palace and the Hanshui Gang are all arrogant people, how can they stand such provocations? , so a full-scale war broke out, and even the city defense army was attracted."

Li Wuchang finished speaking in one breath, took a sip of tea, and secretly observed the expressions of Li Lingwu and the others.

The expressions of Li Lingwu and the three of them changed drastically.

They feel that the insidious guy Li Wuchang said is Li Wuchang himself!

Enmity with the Prince Jin's Mansion and the Hanshui Gang? ... Li Wuchang fit.

There are many means? ... Li Wuchang fit.

Is there a master under your hand? ... Li Wuchang is also in line.

But now Li Wuchang had a smug expression, as if a big revenge had been avenged, and he let out a bad breath.

It's ridiculous!

The atmosphere was eerie.

Suddenly, Li Lingwu laughed loudly and said, "Then according to Wuchang's guess, what is that insidious guy doing now?"

Li Wuchang also smiled and said: "Father, I will just make a wild guess, you don't have to worry about it. As for what he is doing now, I don't know. If I had to guess, in which corner he should be hiding in secret complacency, or maybe Like me, thinking of buying firecrackers to celebrate."

After a pause, he continued: "It's fine no matter what, he probably won't make a move for the time being, there is a word to say... By the way, I think he is watching the fire from the other side now, and when the time is right, Then he pops up again to take advantage of the fire. So Uncle Qing, you must pay close attention now, maybe this kid pops up suddenly at some point, and it will be a great achievement for you to catch him at that time!"

After finishing speaking, Li Wuchang squinted at Li Qing with a half-smile.

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Li Wuchang stood up and said, "Father, I still have some small things to do. If there is nothing else, then I will leave."

Li Lingwu glanced at him and waved his hand.

Li Wuchang bowed and retreated.

"Brother, do you think impermanence is the cause of the ghost? This kid has both motives and strong strength. I remember that he has two sixth-rank masters under him, and that kid is so courageous and has a lot of tricks." " Li Zhongyue frowned.

Li Lingwu didn't answer, turned his head to look at Li Qing, chuckled, and said, "Brother Qing, this kid was provoking you just now!"

Li Qing smiled wryly and said: "The incident last night was probably caused by that kid, and it was carefully planned, and every step was calculated. Did you see the confident look of that kid just now? You are still watching the fire from the other side, this kid. "

Li Lingwu said: "The two of you call Li Hu again. Apart from investigating the matter of the Hanshui Gang, you can also see if you can catch that kid by the tail, good boy."

Li Qing and Li Zhongyue bowed their hands to promise.
