Mr. Yangui

Chapter 80 Unbiased

Under the orders of the emperor, rumors of the Rush in the west of the city were quickly suppressed.

The Khitan spies once again took the blame.

Cui Ping, the commander of the city defense army, quickly withdrew after washing the ground, leaving the matter of the Hanshui Gang to Li Lingwu and Prince Jin's residence.

Li Lingwu knew that the emperor wanted to suppress this matter quickly, so he investigated without any haste. In addition, the Hanshui gang had already been broken into pieces and hidden in every corner of Chang'an City, so there would be no news for a while.

Although Jin Wang Lu Yuanfeng was extremely annoyed, he had no choice but to mobilize the army to destroy the Hanshui Gang in Xiangyang City.

Not to mention the emperor's ambiguous attitude, in addition, this matter was originally caused by Jin Wangfu's wrongdoing, and the strength of the Hanshui Gang should not be underestimated, and it has a lot of involvement.

The insidious Li Wuchang is discussing the finishing work with Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun.

Zhao Xun analyzed: "The Hanshui Gang is not enough for the time being, and the Jin Palace is also in a hurry. Commander Cui Ping made it clear that he didn't want to cause trouble. You are stunned. Now you are left at home. You said your father was ordered to investigate, will you find us? ? If it is found out, what attitude do you think your father will have?"

Li Wuchang exhaled, and said lightly: "I hinted to my father today that this matter was planned by me."

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were taken aback, staring at Li Wuchang with wide eyes, at a loss.

Li Wuchang said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know it well."

Li Wuchang has already thought about this matter.

First, Li Wuchang wanted to test Li Lingwu's attitude.

Secondly, instead of waiting for Li Qing and others to find out about him, it is better to put everything on the table first. Everyone should show their chariots and horses, each according to its own ability. Anyway, there are many forces involved in this matter. Li Wuchang is just a bad guy. An eye-catching little character.

Li Wuchang said again: "Now that this matter is over, all the people sent by Fat Bear to the west of the city to investigate will be withdrawn, what should be done, as for the three of us, just don't do anything now, and don't do anything about the money from Qinglongfang now. After the wind has completely passed, the three of us will go to transport it in person.”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, you two should practice martial arts well. Time is running out. Try to perform well in the martial arts competition. I will also follow you to gain glory."

It is now the middle of March, less than a month away from the Martial Arts Conference.

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "Young Master Leng really knows how to joke, you still need our favor?"

Jiang Minglun also laughed loudly, and said: "Young Master Leng, you have just broken through the first stage of the fifth rank, and you can already be regarded as a first-class master. Moreover, you are really powerful, and you have ghost shadow body skills, even if you are a sixth rank, it is difficult to handle it." you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun nodded in agreement.

Li Wuchang smiled wryly and said: "I have the strength of the fifth rank, only you two know, I always feel that my aunt has some tricks waiting for me, I'd better keep a low profile and keep a hand."

Others don't talk about it, just say that Li Wuchang's three Li Wuji broke through to the fifth rank at the age of 12, so they are still dead.

Maybe Zhang's messed up.

Li Wuchang didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

Zhao Xun expressed his understanding, and sighed: "It's not easy to be a concubine of a big family!"

Jiang Minglun frowned and said, "Young Master Leng, didn't you tell us that if you don't pass three rounds, your father will send you to Jizhou? Jizhou has been fighting for several years, with more than 10,000 casualties in the army and more than [-] civilian casualties. There are countless more, the Khitan people are no better than the Prince Jin Mansion or the Hanshui Gang, if you go there, it will be very bad luck!"

Li Wuchang said helplessly: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge."

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun nodded and stopped persuading.

The three of Li Wuchang stopped all their actions, and finished with all their strength. They withdrew all the spies from the west of the city, called shopkeeper Chen and Fat Xiong over, and gave them a good lecture.

In addition, I also carefully recalled various flaws and flaws, covering up what can be covered up, and repairing as much as possible.

Li Wuchang originally took this opportunity to sum up his martial arts, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

Plans often fail to keep up with changes.

Prince Lu Xuanyi actually came to Dongli Restaurant in person.

It turned out to be asking Li Wuchang for money.

It starts with the battle in Jizhou.

Both Zhou Sheng and Lu Yuanke confronted the Khitan and Goryeo armies. The war was imminent, and food, grass and medicines were seriously in short supply. Both of them wrote to the imperial court to ask for reinforcements, otherwise Jizhou would be in danger.

There was not much left in the national treasury, and Taifu Lin suggested selling officials and titles to raise wages. Although he had some objections, he received strong support from the emperor.

Taifu Lin went all out to promote this matter, and posted notices throughout the city, calling on all wealthy households to actively help the court, which received a very enthusiastic response.

There are many wealthy households in Chang'an City, and most of them are businessmen relying on major families.

When they heard that the imperial court could buy them titles, although it was only a false name, they still showed great enthusiasm.

Guo Hongyi, the richest man in Chang'an, donated 10 taels of silver and won the title of Viscount. This is also the largest donation.

Guo Hongyi walks on the street every day, hearing that other people must call him Lord Guo instead of the previous Boss Guo, he feels very proud, and secretly thinks that the 10 taels of flowers are really worth it.

Not only bought a reputation, but also supported the imperial court's plans, no one will come to make trouble in the future, what a great thing.

Although this title cannot be passed on to his descendants, and he cannot receive silver every month like other people with titles, Guo Hongyi doesn't care.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and he will fight for his son's future without caring about a viscount, so it doesn't matter whether the title can be passed on.

As for receiving silver every month?
The viscount has several hundred taels a year, Guo Hongyi would pay attention to him?

There are quite a few wealthy households who are as generous as Guo Hongyi. Although they are not as generous as Guo Hongyi, tens of thousands of taels is still nothing to worry about.

When Lin Yong reported the progress at the court meeting, the emperor was delighted and asked all the officials to follow Taifu Lin as an example and be loyal to the court at all times.

Upon seeing this, Prince Lu Xuanyi volunteered to find ways to raise money to relieve his father's worries.

The emperor was overjoyed, and said that the prince had grown up for a long time, and he could do it directly if he had any ideas. As long as he could share the worries of the court, it was a good thing, and he would support him vigorously in the future.

Apart from Lu Xuanyi, the adult prince, there are the second prince Lu Xuandong and the third prince Lu Xuanming.

Lu Xuandong is calm and has a good reputation. Seeing that the prince has such an idea and does not want to be left behind, he immediately expressed that he would also raise money to do his best for the court.

The emperor nodded his approval.

The prince's idea is very simple. If he doesn't pay for it himself, he will invite the young master who has been friends with him to drink, and hint again, if the young master is not too stupid, he will offer a sum of money to show his support for the prince.

The second prince is also like this.

Both of them have their own circles, and some people they have made friends with.

Looks like it's turning into a competition.

His Royal Highness usually looks for the eldest sons of major families, such as Li Wufeng from the Li family, Lin Di from the Lin family, Liu Xuan from the Liu family, Han Dade from the Han family, etc.

The young master who was found also had a clear attitude and tried to support him as much as possible. For example, Li Wufeng supported 1 taels.

The eldest sons of the big families were all found by the crown prince, and the second prince Lu Xuandong naturally couldn't find it again, so he had to find the second sons or concubines of the big families, or the children of merchants.

For example, Guo Yunlei supported Lu Xuandong with 1 taels, which aroused Lu Xuandong's great joy, and he valued Guo Yunlei even more.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came to Dongli Restaurant in person to look for Li Wuchang.

When shopkeeper Chen led a young eunuch to Li Wuchang's office, Li Wuchang was stunned. It was unbelievable that His Royal Highness would find such a small role as himself.

"Boss, the crown prince is here, and he is in the private room now. This is Yu's servant!" Shopkeeper Chen introduced.

Li Wuchang immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "So it's Yu's servant, disrespect and disrespect!"

Although the other party is a little eunuch, Li Wuchang dare not underestimate him.

There are many powerful figures in history, all of whom are disabled.

There are treacherous and cunning ones, such as Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, and Li Lianying. They are all first-class ruthless characters, bringing disaster to the country and the people.

There are also admirable ones, such as Tai Shigong, who endured humiliation, and Zheng He, who went to the West, are all great men who will last forever.

The little eunuch in front of me is fifteen or sixteen years old, with a youthful face, alas, it is so pitiful, it is estimated that some family was dragged down by poverty, so they sent their son to the palace as a eunuch.

After hearing Li Wuchang's greeting, the attendant Yu hurriedly said, "Fourth Young Master, His Royal Highness is waiting for you, do you see?"

Li Wuchang showed a smile, made a gesture, and said: "Servant Yu, please."

Yu Neishi glanced at Li Wuchang strangely, feeling a little strange in his heart.

He is the personal eunuch of His Highness the Crown Prince, and has met many people with the Crown Prince.

Some people tend to show contempt when they see themselves, this is normal, not many people will really think highly of eunuchs.

More people will try their best to get close when they see themselves, this is also normal, there are not a few people who want to curry favor with the prince.

This Li Wuchang was a bit strange, seeing that he was neither flattering nor contemptuous, he actually showed a warm smile.

This warmed the servant's heart, and he was a little excited for a moment, and said: "You are welcome, fourth son, let's go together."

in the private room.

Lu Xuanyi was very polite, and when he was half drunk, he hinted at the intention of his visit. Li Wuchang understood instantly, and said: "His Royal Highness is for the country and the people, and Wuchang admires him very much. Since His Royal Highness can appreciate Wuchang, Wuchang should do his best for His Royal Highness."

Then he looked at Shopkeeper Chen and ordered, "Old Chen, go to the cashier to get 5000 taels."

Lu Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, feeling Li Wuchang's generosity.

You know, the most he received before was 2000 taels. It seems that this Li Wuchang needs to be wooed.

Li Wuchang said again: "Impermanence's ability is limited, I hope His Royal Highness will not be disgusted with it!"

Lu Xuanyi showed a smile and said: "I am very touched that Wuchang understands the difficulties of the court, and there will be rewards in the future."

There will be rewards in the future?

Grandma is a bear, are you trying to win me over?

Li Wuchang remained calm, cupped his hands towards the sky, and said loudly: "It is an honor for Wuchang to contribute to the imperial court. His Royal Highness, don't say anything in return. Wuchang can't afford it."

Lu Xuanyi was full of ambition, and showed an encouraging smile to Li Wuchang.

Click till.

Shopkeeper Chen came back and handed a stack of banknotes to the waiter Yu.

The business is over, and the wine bureau is over.

Li Wuchang thought it was all right, but unexpectedly the second prince Lu Xuandong also came to Dongli Restaurant in the afternoon, the purpose was the same as that of His Royal Highness, and he also came to raise money.

Because Lu Xuandong had been in contact with Li Wuchang before, he directly explained his intention.

Li Wuchang was also very happy, and directly gave Lu Xuandong 2000 taels. This made Lu Xuandong extremely happy, and he counted Li Wuchang as his own in his heart, but Li Wuchang's next sentence broke his illusion.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to see me this morning. I supported the Crown Prince with 5000 taels. I hope that the Second Highness will not be overwhelmed." Li Wuchang explained the situation.

Things have to be made clear.

Lu Xuandong's mansion was extremely deep, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, saying: "It's a good thing that Wuchang can contribute to the imperial court, how could I be overwhelmed?"

He was very complicated in his heart, he was moved by Li Wuchang's grandeur, but also a little bit disappointed.

Li Wuchang made it clear that he didn't want to stand in line.

The extra 3000 taels was given to the prince to show respect for the prince, not to look down on Lu Xuandong, which Lu Xuandong knew in his heart.

This is also considered impartial.
