A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 806 Bohai County Prince

The pack of hounds swarmed up.

Old man Jiang rushed to drive away anxiously with a broom in hand.

Wu Huaiyu could tell at a glance that the group of people was not simple, and so were their hounds. These dogs should be Shandong thin dogs, a short-haired breed, with thin and drooping ears, rounded ear tips, long and narrow heads, neat mouths, flat foreheads, and the most beautiful appearance. Jade eyes of the highest quality.

These dogs are about sixty or seventy centimeters tall at the shoulder.

All wearing gold and silver dog collars.

Wu Huaiyu also liked to raise dogs, and even brought two dogs from Zhongnan Mountain, a chow and a fine dog.

Those thin dogs of that man are definitely the top Shandong fine dogs. Among Li Shimin’s royal hounds, there are many Shandong fine dogs, and he takes them with him every time he goes hunting.

A top Shandong fine dog is even more valuable than a BMW and worth more than a hundred dollars.

These thin dogs may look slender, but they are extremely ferocious hounds and very obedient to their masters.

"Rescue."

Wu Huaiyu spoke in a low voice. The two adopted sons, Shi Shouxin and Pang Yanzhang, who were guarding Huaiyu on the left and right, immediately drew their swords and stepped forward.

Thin dogs are fierce,

Under the command of the master, he mercilessly pounced on Old Man Jiang and his family.

"Beast," Shi Shouxin shouted and rushed over with Pang Xiaotai.

The sword flashed,

Although the thin dog is ferocious, it is still just a beast after all. Under the cross swords of the two adopted sons of Wu Xiangguo, it is just a sword.

A sharp horizontal knife that can cut through seven layers of cowhide, cut open the thin dog's neck and chopped off the entire dog's head.

One, two,

In the blink of an eye, two dog heads were chopped off,

Several dogs were injured;

The thin dog ran away screaming in panic,

Wu Huaiyu also came closer. Old Jiang's wife was bitten and injured in several places. The wounds on her arms and legs were bloody. Old Jiang was also bitten and injured in several places. Fortunately, their little granddaughter was tightly protected by the old woman. There is no injury in my arms,

The child, who was only three or four years old, was so frightened that his face was pale and his whole body was shaking. He was holding his bleeding grandparents and crying in fear.

"Which crotch is not clamped, I let you guys out. The little maid was stolen from someone else. If you dare to hurt my thin dog, you are dead."

Do you know how valuable our fine dogs are?

This is the treasure that the Royal Kennel begs for, damn dog slave..."

The guy who just whipped the old woman and then let the dog hurt someone roared on the horse and cursed at Wu Huaiyu.

Just now, two young men, Shi Shouxin and Pang Yanzhang, cut off two hunting dogs and injured several more with their swords. They were very skilled in martial arts. But when he saw that they were wearing ordinary clothes, he didn't take it seriously. Chang'an's martial arts skills were much better. Well, among the veterans who came back from Longyou or Shuofang, which one did not survive among the dead, and which one was not good at martial arts.

Moreover, he saw that the man behind the two of them was only in his twenties, wearing a white cloth. This kind of white man only had two slaves, and there was a young maidservant who looked pretty good beside him. He expected that this was just a foreigner. Entering Beijing,

They must not be from Chang'an, otherwise they would not be able to recognize them.

This is Xuanyangfang, where Wannian County Government Office is located.

Xuanyangfang is now the most densely populated place where high-ranking officials and nobles live in Chang'an.

"Dog slave, you blind dogs, didn't you see that this is the king's trip?"

Wu Huaiyu was indeed wearing white clothes today, a white cotton clothes, very low-key, but in fact, this white cotton gown was not cheap, but the slave didn't know the goods.

He was still a little surprised. It is said that this is Xuanyangfang. Although there are many nobles and relatives, the Wu family accounts for one-eighth of Xuanyangfang. Including the Longmen Temple, it takes up one-quarter.

He is also the prime minister, a man of great influence in Chang'an, and the slaves of the rich and powerful in the village actually don't recognize him?

Hearing that Wang Jia was traveling, he looked at the team.

"Look carefully, this is the king of Bohai. Why don't you come forward and kowtow to apologize?" the evil slave shouted,

King of Bohai.

Huaiyu narrowed his eyes and knew what was going on.

Li Fengci, King of Bohai, was the concubine's son of Li Yuan's second brother Li Zhan. Li Zhan died early and was given posthumously to the King of Shu after the founding of the country.

In his early years, he left two sons, Li Boyi and Li Yici, who were raised by his uncle Li Yuan. They grew up playing with Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

But compared to the two Jiancheng Shimin brothers, these two brothers were ignorant and incompetent since they were young, and it was best to idle around and live the life of a playboy. After Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, the two brothers only cared about eating, drinking and having fun in the rear.

When Li Yuan ennobled the clan, he made these two nephews princes, one of Longxi and the other of Bohai.

But these two brothers are nothing but mud that cannot hold up the wall. Compared with Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Li Shentong and others in the clan, they are really just moths.

Each of the two brothers kept hundreds of prostitutes and concubines in their homes, all of whom were well-dressed, ate meat, and entertained themselves with music day and night. They were extremely arrogant and extravagant.

Li Yuan couldn't stand it and despised it very much. He asked his brother to study more many times.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin became the emperor and became even more disgusted with the brothers. On the grounds that their brothers had failed to achieve their merits, he reduced their county princes to county princes and made them governors. As a result, the two brothers were removed from the local government. He just wanted to eat, drink and have fun, plundering the people in various ways, causing outrage and resentment, and in the end he had to be recalled.

It has been six years since Zhenguan. Li Shimin felt that these two guys were cousins ​​of the same grandfather after all. The clan had killed many princes before, so out of the intention of appeasing the clan, he restored the title of county prince to these two guys, but They were not given any more official positions and were allowed to live in Chang'an.

The two brothers didn't care. They were happy as they pleased. They had hundreds of prostitutes and concubines at home. They usually either entertained themselves with music at home, went hunting, or organized polo team games and gambled. They lived a very leisurely life.

Today, the two brothers came to Xuanyangfang to visit their aunt, Princess Tong'an, and made an appointment with the Wang family's young masters from their aunt's family to go hunting in the city.

The two brothers Li Fengci did not live in Xuanyangfang. They lived in Yongjiafang inside Tonghuamen.

Their aunt, Princess Tong'an, was Li Yuan's sister and Li Shimin's aunt. She was married to the Wang family in Taiyuan, Hedong. She was very close to the royal family. Li Shimin had always respected this aunt.

"Shitou, I'll go to the Wannian County Government Office to call for help, and then go to the mansion to call for help," Wu Huaiyu said with an expressionless face, feeling very unhappy.

What kind of clan princes are just a pair of idiots.

A mere servant of the royal palace dares to be so arrogant, and this is still in Xuanyangfang.

"Call Li Fengci over!"

Wu Huaiyu shouted. The ferocious servant of the royal palace was shocked when he heard the young man in white calling the county king by his name. Chang'an is the imperial capital, and there are nobles everywhere.

There are as many fifth-grade people as dogs, and three-grade people can travel everywhere.

Any one of them might be a male or a noble.

"Who are you? How brave are you to call my prince by his first name?" The evil slave couldn't figure out Wu Huaiyu's identity, but he was still bluffing.

Huaiyu sneered in his heart. Sure enough, there are just as many idiot slaves as there are idiot masters. He dared to call Li Fengci by his name. This person didn't know how to be afraid of death.

Shitou turned around and went to the Wannian County Government Office in the square.

The evil slave's eyes rolled around, "No one is allowed to leave, no one is allowed to leave."

A group of evil slaves from the palace rushed over, refusing to let the stone go and surrounding Huaiyu and the others.

What a big dog.

Wu Huaiyu couldn't help but laugh.

Being ignorant and fearless can really bring trouble to the master.

The emperor had already made a decree, and even Li Tai, the emperor's sons, princes, and third-rank officials did not need to get off their horses to avoid and salute when they saw him.

Wu Huaiyu was a dignified first-class official with the third division of the Kaifu Yitong, the crown prince's Taibao, a former prime minister, and the Duke of Jin with a title of 1,300 households.

When the prince saw Wu Huaiyu, he had to dismount his horse and salute, let alone Wei Wang Li Tai and the others, and the Li Fengci brothers were just county princes, idle princes with no positions or officials.

Shi Shouxin shouted loudly, "You are so courageous. This is the Duke of Jin who is the Taibao of the Crown Prince, the Third Division of Yitong of the Kaifu, the Shangzhu State, the official seal of 1,300 households, and the title of Meritorious Official of Zhenguan Yuancong." , still not retreating.”

The evil slave with a sinister face was still riding on a horse with a whip in his hand and a gloomy look on his face. He wanted to capture Wu Huaiyu and the others first and then find out his identity.

He originally thought that this young man might just be a young man from some family, bluffing.

Unexpectedly, the man actually said that his master was Wu Huaiyu.

Wu Huaiyu's name is known to everyone in Chang'an City.

He was even more thunderous, but he had never seen Wu Huaiyu before. He had just come to Chang'an from Hedong. He was just a rogue in Taiyuan, Hedong. Because the girl was favored by Li Fengci and was taken as a concubine, he was able to come here. Jing, also became a minor steward in the Bohai Prince's palace.

In fact, the main task is to raise dogs for King Bohai.

Li Fengci liked hunting and raised many hunting dogs, which he raised. However, this guy also relied on the power of others and felt that he was like a dog.

His face was uncertain, although he didn't want to accept the facts in front of him,

But he also understands, who in Chang'an dares to pretend to be Wu Huaiyu? Or in front of King Bohai's people?

Thinking of this, I panicked.

Really panicked.

Even if he had been hanging out in Taiyuan City, Wu Huaiyu's reputation was already well-known. After all, the Wu family was originally from Bingzhou.

At this moment, the dog slave was in a state of panic.

The people who had been surrounding Wu Huaiyu and the others so arrogantly just now looked at each other in disbelief, and then they all knelt down.

"Please forgive me, Prime Minister Wu. I don't know how to recognize Mount Tai. I really didn't know that Prime Minister Wu was the leader."

Someone slapped him directly.

Shitou kicked away a guy blocking his way and ran to the Wannian County Government Office in Fangli to call for help.

"Ask Li Fengci to come over." Wu Huaiyu ignored those guys and ordered again in a deep voice.

The dog slave Liu Han hurriedly rolled off his saddle and fell off his horse. He slapped himself hard twice, and then apologized to Huaiyu, "It's a small dog's eyes that can't see Mount Tai. Please don't remember the faults of villains."

"Call Li Fengci."

"Prime Minister Wu, my prince is still behind. He is with the young masters of Princess Tong'an's family. They are all minor offenses against the Prime Minister. Please punish him as you please."

After a while, brothers Li Fengci and Li Boyi came from behind, as well as several young masters from the eldest princess's family, Wang Renbiao, Wang Renxian, Wang Renyou, etc., all dressed in hunting attire and riding tall horses.

The weather is hot these days, so these guys made an appointment to go hunting in Zhongnan Mountain. Taking advantage of the fact that the sun has set westward out of the city, they can go hunting in the mountains to escape the heat for a few days.

The leading team was blocked in Fangzhong Street, and they were a little surprised.

A steward ran forward to report and explain the situation.

"Wu Xiangguo?" Wang Renyou was a little surprised. He is the nephew of the eldest princess of Tong'an. He passed the imperial examination this year and has not yet been selected by the Ministry of officials. He is a candidate in Beijing. As a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he knows Wu Huaiyu very well. He would even sometimes go to the Wu family's clan school with fellow scholar Wang to take classes.

"Is there any misunderstanding?" he asked.

Li Fengci listened to his subordinates' explanation and said with some dissatisfaction, "Wu Xiangguo, he has already been dismissed."

"The old beggar and the little beggar got whipped for blocking the road. It's not a big deal. Wu Huaiyu killed two of my good dogs and injured several more. These are Shandong fine dogs that I spent a lot of money to get. I If you don’t even pursue it, will he refuse to let you go?”

Wang Xianyou said from the side, "It's all a misunderstanding. Just come up and explain it to the Duke of Jin." He was actually a little disgusted with Li Fengci's evil slave who used his power to bully the common people, but he couldn't express it clearly on his face.

"Hmph, then I will give Brother Wang some face and I will not pursue this matter further."
