Chapter 89
Li Jin walked over quickly and opened the door. One of them nodded at Li Jin with a smile, and walked in first, standing still in front of Tang Shirong.

Li Jin looked at the visitor curiously, and saw that his short stature was shorter than that of Li Jin who had recently bulged his head, but he had a big belly and was fat as hell.The brown robe looked a little loose in other parts, but it was stretched tightly around the stomach, as if the clothes would be stretched if one was not careful.The chubby face was slightly fair, without a beard, and a pair of small eyes were almost squeezed by the flesh on the face, but there was a flash of light from time to time.

Zhou Yixuan followed closely behind, chased away a group of maids, closed the door, and then stood behind the short winter melon, making the identity of the short winter melon ready to be revealed.

The short winter melon squinted his eyes and looked at Tang Shirong carefully, then clasped his fists and said: "It really is Uncle Guo! Zhou is very polite."

Tang Shirong hurriedly replied: "This must be Brother Zhou Ming Zhou, Brother Zhou has seen me before?"

"In the early years, Zhou accompanied his father to transport a batch of grain to the Tang family in the imperial capital, and saw Uncle Guo from a distance." Zhou Ming explained, "After so many years, Uncle Guo is a little haggard. It's true."

"I'm ashamed, if it wasn't for the empress who didn't hesitate to sacrifice her life to help, today's Tang Shirong would already be a pile of bones." Tang Shirong shook his head desolately.

Zhou Ming also sighed when he heard the words, and comforted Tang Shirong to sit down first, then squinted his eyes and looked at Li Jin: "This is Li Jin and Li Shinephew? He really is a young hero. In comparison, Gouzi pales in comparison. gone."

"Zhou Shibo is going to praise the junior." Li Jin hurriedly returned the gift, "Brother Xuan is the role model of my generation. The junior has been taken care of by Brother Xuan since he first arrived in Danjin City. He has not come to thank him, but it is a bit rude."

"You're welcome." Zhou Ming waved his hand, "Remember to greet the two elders of the Li family for me."

"Definitely, thank you Uncle Shi." Li Jin thanked again.

Zhou Ming nodded and sat down, his face became solemn: "It's ashamed to say that six years ago, all sources of news about my Zhou family in the imperial capital were wiped out overnight. Zhou was frightened and angry. After investigating the matter, it turned out that it was the hands of the No.11 Legion of the Empire that defended Gyeonggi. At the same time, Zhou also found that not only my Zhou family, but almost all the aristocratic families in the imperial capital have been completely wiped out, except... No one from the Li family in Tianji City was found." Having said that, Zhou Ming glanced at Li Jin.

Li Jin was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "Of course Shibo will not find out that there are people from the Li family, not because they let the Li family go, but because the Xu and Li families are very close, and the Li family has never placed an eyeliner in the imperial capital." .”

"It's so!" Zhou Ming was shocked at first, and then nodded: "Tianji City, which started with military exploits, has three thousand dragon cavalry troops in its hands. Its identity is sensitive, and it is really not appropriate to spy on the imperial capital too much."

Although Li Jin nodded in agreement, he privately felt that this should be a major failure of the Li family.Even if the relationship between the Li family and the royal family has always been very good, who can guarantee that this relationship can be maintained for such a long time?Holding a heavy army but staying in a corner, the Li family avoided suspicion very honestly, but they didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse in the long run.

I only heard Zhou Ming continue to say: "Afterwards, Zhou secretly sent people to the imperial capital several times in order to re-establish the intelligence system of the imperial capital, because only by knowing the grain price fluctuations in the entire empire in time, can my Zhou family accurately formulate a grain sales plan. Unfortunately, the people sent there quickly lost contact with the family. Not long after, the Zhou family received a warning from the royal family, and they had no choice but to abandon the market near the imperial capital. The news of that area has never been known to Zhou. gone."

"Not only the Zhou family, but all the influencers of all forces were wiped out." Tang Shirong said sadly, "Then, Chen Dan carried out a large-scale purge in the imperial capital, and all officials who were not his party members were wiped out. That day, I entered the palace Visiting my sister, so I escaped a catastrophe."

When Tang Shirong said this again, his eyes began to turn red: "That day, my sister gave birth to... the second prince, but there was no one beside me and a personal maid, not even the imperial doctor! Unexpectedly, at this time , Concubine Xuan brought people into her sister's bedroom, intending to harm her and the second prince. My sister had just given birth and was already weak, so she hurriedly told me to take the second prince to escape through a secret passage hidden by the royal family. The matter of the imperial capital. But she herself, in order to buy time for me, forcibly possessed her soul pet Sanyu Huofeng, burned her spiritual power to stop Concubine Xuan and her lackeys, and finally, finally, died of exhaustion..."

Zhou Ming's face was solemn, and he continued in a cold voice: "Since then, the emperor has not been in court, the emperor has not appeared, the crown prince supervises the country, the concubine Xuan hangs the curtain, the Chen family controls the army, and controls the government... All of these are the forces behind the Chen family. Want to overthrow my Hanyun Empire?"

Tang Shirong nodded slowly, and said painfully: "I have also tried to find some old acquaintances for help these years, but most of them didn't believe what I said. There was a burst of ridicule, saying that I was suffering from hysteria. The best situation is to take me in for a few days and give me some money. Usually, within a few days after that, I will face hunting, and I almost died a few times. "

Li Jin nodded secretly. Chen Dan didn't dare to hunt Tang Shirong and the second prince outside the imperial capital with great fanfare, but it was very easy to find them in this way.There are not a few people who want to come to tip off the news.

"From then on, I no longer seek help from them, but live in seclusion and raise the second prince." Tang Shirong said lonely.

Zhou Yixuan clenched his fists tightly, his jaw tensed, and said in a cold voice: "Recently, the second prince has turned six years old, but he has no soul pet to contract with. He heard that Taiyu Bank has a soul pet egg to be auctioned, so he came to Danjin City. "

"I wanted to wait for the second prince to grow up, and then find a big family like the Li family of Zhou's family, and slowly figure it out, but unexpectedly I met that old gentleman tonight. The old gentleman seems to already know the imperial capital. What happened in the past also brought forward the time for me to ask you to see Brother Zhou." Tang Shirong explained.

Zhou Ming looked at his son, and Zhou Yixuan nodded slightly: "It's that mysterious Master Li. He seems to have some connection with the Li family in Tianji City, and said that he will come to us in the future."

Zhou Ming nodded when he heard the words, and looked at Li Jin: "Since Master Li knows about this, the Li family should also know about it. Why didn't they hear similar news from Tianji City?"

"That old gentleman is not an elder of my Li family, and I only met him by chance when I was a child. The younger generation doesn't know how he knew about the sudden change in the imperial capital, but our Li family knew about it not long ago. "

Li Jin said with a wry smile, and then he told Zhou Ming the whole process of the dragon cavalry army from being poisoned and mad to being attacked, and also told everyone present the purpose of his trip to the imperial capital.Of course, Li Jin very modestly skipped over details such as the Tianlongma poisoning incident he solved by himself.

Li Jin chose to tell the Zhou family these secrets after careful consideration.Obviously, the strength of the enemies that the Li family will face this time cannot be underestimated, and the Zhou family is also a powerful family. Judging from the information Li Jin has obtained so far, they are still feared by the Baili sisters, so naturally they will not be a group son of a bitch.If the Zhou family, who controlled the granary in the west of the empire, could also be tied to their chariot, then the success of this trip to the imperial capital would increase by another point.

Thinking of this, Li Jin said slowly and pointedly: "The forces behind the Chen family started to lay out their plans five years ago to plan for the Dragoon Army. If it weren't for a coincidence, we would almost have been succeeded by them. The younger generation privately speculates, Even if not all the great families in the Hanyun Empire will be coveted by him, but those families who hold soldiers, horses, money and food may have already been targeted by him."

Zhou Yixuan's expression changed drastically when he heard this, while Zhou Ming just frowned slightly and looked at Li Jin with narrowed eyes.

Li Jin looked at Zhou Yixuan, and continued to speak slowly: "Among the group of people who attacked the Dragoon Army barracks that day, there were two leading women, both dressed in white and covered their faces with white gauze, and one was nearly twenty years old. The other one is about ten years old depending on his height. The older one doesn't like to talk, while the younger one has a detached personality..."

Zhou Yixuan also thought of something, and combed his hair a few times: "Father, do you still remember when the head of the Baili family was bedridden?"

Zhou Ming naturally understood what his son was talking about, and there was a gloomy look in his small eyes.He opened the door and called in a woman in a long lavender dress and a pair of black round-frame glasses: "Zilong, go and check immediately, the owner of the Baili family in the south of the city, Bailixing, is still here. With his two daughters, the more detailed the better."

Zhou Yixuan introduced Li Jin in a low voice: "Xiao Zilong, my father's little aunt, is also the chief housekeeper of my Zhou family. My Zhou family's internal affairs are well-organized, thanks to my little aunt."

"Baili's family?" Xiao Zilong frowned when he heard the words, took out a booklet from his storage bracelet, rummaged through it for a while, and said, "Baili's family, the original grain merchant family in the south of Danjin City , has a recorded history of more than 470 years here. The current owner of the house travels hundreds of miles and is proficient in grain roads. He has set a legendary record of a single-day grain throughput of more than [-] million catties, and is known as a wizard in the grain business world. Five years ago, Bailixing fell ill suddenly and became bedridden ever since. The family business was handed over to his two daughters, Baili Xiaoxiao and Baili Qianqian. In recent years, the business of Baili’s family is still good, but it has lost The heart to forge ahead is just to live by the day.”

As Xiao Zilong, Li Jin saw that Zhou Yixuan looked at her with a trace of reverence in his eyes, and he was curious about this woman. Is this the legendary professional woman?
However, Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows after hearing Xiao Zilong's narration: "Five years ago?"

Seeing Zhou Ming's complexion changed, Xiao Zilong looked at his records again, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, five years ago, Bailixing suddenly became bedridden, and it is said that he had a wind disease."

Zhou Yixuan also thought of something, and his face suddenly turned ugly: "The black market in the underground city is rising, private food is rampant, and there are more and more shoddy goods. Didn't it start five years ago?"

Zhou Ming calmly told Xiao Zilong to leave first, then turned his head and looked at Li Jin: "A few days ago, the Dragon Cavalry Army said that they would buy a batch of military rations. Urgent. But Zhou thought it would be better to send it as soon as possible.”

The Dragon Cavalry Army implements the farming system. Unless there is a war, they are always self-sufficient. Why do they need to buy military rations?Hearing this, Li Jin smiled slightly: "Then thank you Uncle Shi!"
