The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2018 Mind

Suzhou is also a rich place, and the Xuan family has a large property in Suzhou, so it is convenient for Gao Jun to recruit manpower from Suzhou, just get some manpower from the chamber of commerce. The business of the chamber of commerce is affected, but Xuan Shijing's safety is much heavier than the business of the chamber of commerce, which is more important, and the chamber of commerce can still distinguish clearly.

Gao Jun dispatched more than a dozen people from the chamber of commerce, plus Xuan Shijing's guards and Baiqisi's manpower in the dark. There are more than 30 people around him for protection. Those who can escort Xuan Shijing back to Chang'an safely.

Of course, there are also those businessmen who followed Xuan Shijing to Chang'an. It seems that those businessmen were indeed frightened by the local nobles. Otherwise, they would not say that they followed Xuan Shijing to Chang'an City. They just need to wait for news from Xuan Shijing in Suzhou.

If it weren't for being forced to be helpless, who would want to make such a toss?
Xuan Shijing’s boat to the north was also rented in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. It was originally a ship for transporting goods. As long as it is tidied up a little, it can accommodate people. Although this kind of boat is not as exquisite as a painting boat, it is better than a boat, let alone in a river. After sailing for more than [-] miles, even if it reaches the sea, it is more than enough, and this is exactly in line with Gao Jun's requirements.

They don't need to have much enjoyment on the road. What's more, they still need the safety of the ship.

With so many people, one boat is not enough, so Gao Jun rented two boats, and it happened that there was still a batch of goods in Suzhou to be transported to the north. After Xuan Shijing knew about it, he also delayed their departure, preparing Going north with the ship of the chamber of commerce, there is more or less a support on the way, and it can serve as a deception.

Early in the morning, before the sky fully opened, a carriage was already parked at the gate of the house where Xuan Shijing lived. After Xuan Shijing's entourage was packed, Xuan Shijing also walked out of the house, He directly boarded the carriage, and at the same time, those businessmen from different state capitals who lived in various parts of Suzhou City also boarded their own carriages, met Xuan Shijing at the gate of the city, and then left Suzhou with Xuan Shijing's carriage city.

Just when everyone thought that Xuan Shijing was going to Chang'an by land, it was about four or five miles away from the city, but Xuan Shijing's carriage turned a corner and went straight to the pier.

"Everyone, our father-in-law said that we are going to the pier to take a boat, so we turned around here." Xuan Shijing's guards walked to the back and notified one by one: "But don't worry, everyone, our boat, the father-in-law has already arrived. I have ordered you to go down and get ready, and you all just follow the arrangement of the Lord-in-law."

"Thank you, little brother, for telling me, and thanking Duke Xuan for us." The businessman in the carriage responded.

After Xuan Shijing's guard delivered the message, he went back to the front to report back.

In the afternoon, the carriage walked for a long time, and it took only half an hour to rest on the road. Finally, the shadow of the pier was seen ahead. At the pier, the carriage stopped, and Xuan Shijing got off the carriage first. , under the reception of the people on board, boarded the largest ship, and Xuan Shijing's accompanying guards also boarded this ship.

As for the merchants, they boarded the boat behind and stayed with the caravan guards, and the guards from the Suzhou Xuanjia Chamber of Commerce were in charge of protecting them.

As for the people of Baiqisi, Xuan Shijing doesn’t need to worry about it. They have their own means to return to Chang’an City, but on the way, they must not be too far away from Xuan Shijing. Xuan Shijing is on the boat, maybe Baiqisi's men are on the shore.

After being out for such a long time, I will finally return to Chang'an.

Returning to Chang'an, a big storm is still waiting for me.

On the way Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an from Suzhou, the news about the affairs in Suzhou had been sent to Li Chengqian's desk through the channel of Baiqisi.

"Duke Xuan really wants to bring those merchants back to Chang'an City?" After reading the letter, Li Chengqian looked up at Wang Yu, the commander of Baiqisi standing in the hall.

"Yes, but I don't know if those businessmen dare to come to Chang'an City with Duke Xuan. Maybe there are, but how many people are there? Baiqisi has no news yet." Wang Yu Said.

"Xuan Shijing wants to make this matter a big one at once." Li Chengqian bent the index finger of his right hand and tapped on the desk intermittently.

"Okay, if Duke Xuan comes back from Suzhou, you Baiqisi people should pay more attention, keep your spirits up, and don't slack off. First, protect Duke Xuan to reach Chang'an smoothly. Let me keep a close eye on you, and don't let any disturbances go unnoticed, do you understand?"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys." Wang Yu clasped his fists in response.

"Back off." Li Chengqian waved his hand.

Li Chengqian sat on the couch, leaned to one side, found a support point for his body, and did not approve the memorial. He squinted his eyes and began to think about what happened after Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an. Even in Li Chengqian's state, he didn't dare to say anything.

Now Li Chengqian has a lot of black information about the aristocratic family in his hands, plus what Xuan Shijing is about to bring back, there are news, and there are people, so these aristocratic families in the court may be in great trouble.

However, if all the influence of so many families in the court is uprooted at once, it will also seriously damage the vitality of the court. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this matter. As long as you have these evidences, when will you deal with them? ,It will be all right.

Now the imperial court can still use some people, so regarding these people, it is okay to wait for a while.

Li Chengqian was thinking about who could take a break and who could be dealt with immediately.

Even Xuan Shijing, who is outside, knows that even if he brings back so much evidence and authenticates the physical evidence, he can only make things worse, and give Li Chengqian a step where he "has to" deal with some people, and wants to move them all. , uprooting, is impossible.

After everyone has cleaned up, who will do things for the emperor?
"Your Majesty, Wang Youshi is asking to see His Majesty outside the hall." Lin'an said cautiously.

"Recently, I haven't heard that he has any important matters and needs to meet me." Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Let's see what he wants to tell me, let him come in."

"Yes." Lin'an replied.

"King Xuan's right envoy has an audience~~"

The servant outside the Xuanzheng Hall walked up to Wang Youshi, bowed his body and said in a low voice, "Wang Youshi, Your Majesty invites you in."

Wang Youshi wiped the sweat off his head, nodded, and then walked towards the Xuanzheng Hall.
