Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1556
When the dazed Li Chongzhen walked out of the flower hall, Li Xiaogong sighed and said sincerely: "This time, I thank Erlang for cooperating with King Qi. I owe you a favor."

Fang Jun chuckled: "Which one of us is with whom, do we need to be so polite? It's just a rainy day, maybe it's useless, your Saburo might misunderstand me..."

"He dares!"

Li Xiaogong stared round his eyes: "If it weren't for our friendship, who would do such a thankless thing? The old man is also a little slack, thinking that his own reputation is enough, but he never thought that his sons are all keen on it. Power... To be honest, this king now hopes that His Majesty will be dissatisfied with Saburo's participation in King Qi's business, and then withdraw him from the 'Hundred Knights', otherwise, maybe one day my family will be involved Among the monstrous waves, the family was destroyed..."

In any era, the "master of high meritorious service" is an extremely serious disaster.

The title of "the first county king of the clan" sounds very majestic and domineering, but in reality, not only is it useless, but it can easily arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

Don't say that His Majesty Li Er has a broad mind. His mind is reserved for those courtiers who have made mistakes but will not shake the foundation of the emperor. There are countless enemies in the gate of the clan, who knows whether today's "First County King" will be won over by the enemy tomorrow, and there will be another "Xuanwu Gate Change"?
The emperor's foundation cannot tolerate any risk, and all dangers must be eliminated before they show their deeds, otherwise, it will be a situation of eternal doom...

When the founding of the country, Li Xiaogong, who planned strategies, was brave and good at fighting, quickly stayed away from the center of power after he supported His Majesty Li Er's ascension to the throne, and was obsessed with amassing money and enjoying extravagant enjoyment.

And the reason why His Majesty Li Er called Li Xiaogong's third son Li Chongzhen into the "Hundred Knights", how could he not have the intention of restraining and guarding?
However, Li Chongzhen was keen on power and wanted to serve His Majesty Li Er wholeheartedly, but he didn't understand his father's good intentions. As long as Li Xiaogong didn't die, how could His Majesty Li Er feel completely at ease with his son?

Li Xiaogong did not say a word, that is, "Since my family has firmly established its position as the head of the clan, it is no longer necessary to tirelessly gain power. No matter how much money there is, but too much power is the way to perdition." "...

Smart people don't need to say much, Li Xiaogong received Fang Jun's favor, and Fang Jun helped Li Xiaogong while helping Li You, so it was not a waste of work.

*****
The next day, Guangde Square.

Early in the morning, the supermarket opened for business, and a large group of disaster victims and refugees who had already entered the city when the city gate opened mingled with the shopping people and poured into the supermarket gate.Although these people's clothes are a little worn out, they cannot be seen as disaster victims and refugees just from their appearance. As long as they don't open their mouths and expose the dialects of various places, there is no way to identify them.

The supermarket can't check the identity of the customer first, can it?
Even if his identity is found out, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to drive him away. If he can successfully sneak in and steal some food, the big family outside the city who are waiting to be fed can have a full meal, and it doesn't matter if they are beaten up.

Moreover, these victims and refugees are well aware of the current situation. As the prince, His Royal Highness Qi Wang will never be cruel to these petty disaster victims and refugees. Even if His Royal Highness Qi is very angry, the people around him will dissuade him , because it will ruin the reputation of the royal family and make His Majesty "Tian Khan" unhappy.

At the same time, Ma Zhou of Jingzhao Mansion is an upright official, and he sympathizes with these disaster victims and refugees. Crimes such as theft are not considered serious, and he will never be punished lightly.

So these disaster victims and refugees have nothing to fear...

Of course, this is something that can’t be helped. Most of them are sick or disabled, and they really can’t rely on their own efforts to feed their families. It is also helpless to do this kind of theft.

But today, their troubles came...

There are many customers in the supermarket, and the supermarket is big enough. All kinds of goods are arranged in rows on wooden shelves. Food, groceries, etc. are divided into categories and have their own areas. Disaster victims and refugees are mixed in, so it is easy to get them. of.

Because they not only steal food, but even some small groceries. Although these things cannot be eaten, they can still be exchanged for money if they steal them...

Still the same as before, some people succeed, some people miss.

Those who succeeded sneaked away among the customers, and those who missed were caught on the spot, but there was not much panic.

The name of His Highness King Qi is very scary, but precisely because he is His Majesty's prince, the disaster victims and refugees who steal things have nothing to fear...

Even if you hit the sky, you will be beaten, but you don't dare to beat too hard, so what is there to be afraid of?

People are poor and short-spirited, short-spirited, and thick-skinned. Anyway, I can’t afford to eat and starve to death. I’ll give you a beating. I’m just frustrated that my appearance is remembered, and I can’t steal things in the future. Well, it can be regarded as cutting off the best job...

The three "thieves" were caught on the spot, and they didn't resist much. Anyway, the ending is basically doomed. The "security guards" in the supermarket will beat them up and send them to Jingzhao Mansion. Be lenient and let them go.

The three "thieves" were dejected and wrestled and pushed out of the supermarket gate. The expected beating did not happen as expected. Instead, a few burly men in black fast boots stood in front of them with gloomy faces.

The leading man in black had a thick voice and strong penetrating power: "This is Han Gang, the lieutenant of the 'Baiqisi'. The three of you are acting suspiciously and their origins are unknown. A certain suspect is the spy sent by the enemy country to Chang'an. Now Go back to the 'Hundred Knights' to take a statement, if you dare to disobey, you will be killed!"

Guangde Square, which had been bustling with a large group of people waiting to watch the excitement, suddenly quieted down.

"Hundred Knights"?
Almost everyone has heard of this yamen, and everyone knows that this is the eagle dog beside His Majesty!
But any lawsuit involving the "Hundred Knights" is closely related to the safety of His Majesty and the stability of the Tang Dynasty!
These people are actually the spy of the enemy country? !
The people onlookers all gasped, thinking to themselves that these tricks are really amazing, they were able to sneak into Chang'an pretending to be disaster victims and refugees stealing things, if their scheme succeeds, wouldn't it be a big deal?

The three "thieves" were completely dumbfounded, frightened...

It's just stealing things, why is it related to "Baiqisi"?

This is going to kill me!
"Pop" "Pop" "Pop"

The three "thieves" who were fearless and indifferent just now knelt down...

"Oh my god! I'm wronged! The little old man just stole something, how did he become the spy of the enemy country?"

"Guys, you have arrested the wrong person, and you have mistakenly identified them! The little ones are just victims of the disaster in Longyou, who have no way of making a living in their hometown, so they came to Chang'an to ask for a chance to survive. It is definitely not the enemy's secret operation!"

"There is an 80-year-old mother with a two-month-old baby outside the small city. Just wait for the little one to get something to go back to wrap her belly, otherwise she will starve to death! The official holds your hands high and let the little one go..."

……

When the three "thieves" heard that they were involved with Xizuo, they collapsed in fright, sniveling and crying, and ran for several hundred riders' legs without letting go, begging for mercy, it was extremely miserable.

However, it didn't get much sympathy...

"Bah! Sure enough, he is not a good person. A decent person will make a living by stealing things, and you still say it so confidently?"

"That's right, isn't His Royal Highness King Qi set up a porridge shed, anyone who comes can get a bowl of porridge, so how can he starve to death?"

"These people are just broken jars. Because they are disaster victims and refugees, the court has nothing to do with them, so they dare to steal from His Royal Highness Qi."

"It's too greedy! It's fine if you don't do production. You don't get free porridge, but you want to steal things from the supermarket and go out to pay back the money. You should be killed!"

……

Public opinion is like this, as long as there is a little guidance, it will be completely biased in another direction. The people in Chang'an who originally sympathized with these disaster victims and sometimes even gave cover, now all share the same hatred and criticize them.

The leading Baiqi puffed up his chest and said loudly: "'Baiqisi' received a secret report that recently, spies from the enemy country had sneaked into Chang'an City disguised as disaster victims and refugees, intending to launch illegal actions against Datang. 'Baiqisi' after all Manpower is limited, and I hope all the people will help you, if you find someone who has misbehaved, please report it immediately, and if the information is useful, you can receive a reward."

After saying that, he ordered people to gag the mouths of the three "thieves", and took them away in public.

The people onlookers clapped their hands and applauded. After all, although the name of "Baiqisi" is scary, as the minions of His Majesty Li Er, he never came out to harm the people. In the eyes of the people, apart from the mystery, there is no slight hatred , but because of people's curiosity, it has a bit of reverence.

The rest of the undiscovered "thieves" were frightened long ago, taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd, they quickly slipped away...

In case of being caught by the "Hundred Knights" as a spy, not only will it be difficult to survive, but it will also bear the reputation of "treason".

For a time, not only were there no victims and refugees in the supermarket, but even the city of Chang'an was completely empty. Except for those who honestly came to the city to get porridge, none of the victims and refugees from Zaim dared to come to this most prosperous city in the world. Travel east and west.

Even the rangers and gangsters in the city were terrified and silent. Qi Qiwo didn't dare to go out on the street at home, for fear of being targeted by the "Hundred Knights" after causing trouble, which instantly raised the law and order to a higher level, making Jingzhao Mansion The yamen servants in Chang'an and Wannian counties were all amazed, not knowing what happened...
