Datang Nongwang

887 Lock the target
There is nothing wrong with Li Chongyuan's suspicion.

The house belonged to a Qiantang merchant, but that Qiantang merchant left Chang'an ahead of schedule.

visible.

This Qiantang businessman must have a great relationship with these assassins, and he is even a connector who has been arranged in Chang'an City by the person behind it.

Xu Jingzong's hometown is Qiantang, and Li Chongyuan ranked him as the first suspect, which is understandable.

Li Chongyuan looked at Tang Li and shook his head, "It's not necessary. The businessman will never be found if he leaves early. Even, I suspect that the businessman may still be in Chang'an City. Even if he leaves Chang'an City, he will not be able to find him." Go far away. If you want to find him, you may be looking for a needle in a haystack, which is the hardest thing."

"Then continue to wait?" Tang Li asked.

Li Chongyuan thought about it, nodded lightly and said: "Keep waiting and see what happens in the afternoon. If there is no assassin and rush to Lanlingfang, we will do it when it gets dark."

After hearing this, Tang Li and the others clasped their fists and left the arrangement.

they know.

Once the attack is made, these assassins will be eliminated with thunderous means, and no one will be allowed to escape.

They knew better than Li Chongyuan how dangerous these people lurking in the dark were. They knew even more that once these people launched an assassination attempt against Li Chongyuan, Li Chongyuan would surely die if there were no large number of guards to protect Li Chongyuan.

And once Li Chongyuan was assassinated, they knew exactly what would happen to them.

Inadequate guards are enough to put them in jail.

There is even a possibility of being charged with a distribution.

As guards, they naturally know their responsibilities, and they don't want such a thing to happen.

Being able to be Li Chongyuan's guard is something that one can only wish for.

Li Chongyuan has reached this height at such a young age, and he is an extremely human minister.

If Li Chongyuan was given some more time, Tang Li and the others would not be able to predict whether Li Chongyuan would become a two-word king in the future, and even in the end, they all felt that Li Chongyuan might become a one-word king.

As for whether to hold military power or not, this matter is not important to them.

The important thing is that Li Chongyuan is the clan, the minister of the court, and the king of the county.

With the support of his uncle Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, and his cousin Li Shimin, as long as Li Chongyuan does not commit heinous crimes, Li Chongyuan's achievements will be limitless.

And they will also rise with the tide.

Even if the tide does not rise, they believe that Li Chongyuan will definitely give them a good place as far as Li Chongyuan is a person.

And their descendants will also be protected by Li Chongyuan.

to this end.

Tang Li and others will never allow anyone to assassinate Li Chongyuan.

It is absolutely impossible to allow such a potential danger to exist.

The firm goal in their hearts is to remove all potential dangers for Li Chongyuan so as to prevent future troubles.

But without Li Chongyuan's instructions, they didn't dare to act at will.

Li Chongyuan is their backbone.

Likewise, their captain.

Wherever the ship goes, the captain has to direct it, but the sailors, they can't do whatever they want.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan sat in the pavilion, watching all the news on the stone table.

I started to feel suspicious again in my heart, "Does the Xu family have such a strong strength?"

Li Chongyuan only knew about Xu Jingzong, but he didn't know what Xu Jingzong's family was like.

after all.

The name of Xu Jingzong was only known to Li Chongyuan when he was studying in his previous life.

But Li Chongyuan was really unclear about the Xu family he was in.

"Go to someone, go to my house and find the housekeeper, and tell him that I have something important to see him." Li Chongyuan didn't know what happened to Xu's family, so he had to ask the housekeeper for help.

Li Chongyuan was sure that the housekeeper of his family must know the situation of the Xu family.

As for Qihuo, the housekeeper in his own house, he might still know a thing or two about Chang'an.

But if you want to know some things that are not Chang'an, it can only be useless.

The old lady went to Lizhuang to help Li Chongyuan take care of Ding Mu and the child.

The housekeeper will not stay in Li Zhuang to wait on him all the time.

If you have a big family, you need a housekeeper to take care of it.

Half an hour later, the servant brought the butler back to Xisha County Prince's Mansion.

When the housekeeper saw Li Chongyuan, his eyes were puzzled, and he asked respectfully: "Young Lord, do you have something for me to do when you came here?"

"It's nothing to do. I asked you to come here. I just imagined you asking about the Xu family in Qiantang, where Xu Jingzong lives. I think you should know something about it." Li Chongyuan didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly.

When the steward heard Li Chongyuan's question, he seemed to understand, "Young Lord, you are not the assassin who suspected you of assassinating you, and he came from the Xu family, right?"

"That's right. Now I suspect a lot of people, and the Xu family is the most suspicious. After all, I broke Xu Jingzong's leg in the court, and his Xu family will definitely hold a grudge. From this, I deduce that the person who assassinated me The assassin might be sent by the Xu family." Li Chongyuan nodded.

After hearing this, the housekeeper shook his head lightly and said, "Little Lang, you may be too nervous, which is why you have such doubts."

"Why?" Li Chongyuan looked at the butler with doubts.

The housekeeper said: "Although the Xu family is considered a well-known family, it is based on poetry and etiquette. Although Xu Jingzong's father was Xu Shanxin, the minister of rites in the previous dynasty, you may not know, Mr. Xiaolang, that his ancestor, It's Xu Xun, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

"What does this have to do with it?" Li Chongyuan was still unclear.

The housekeeper continued: "Although the Xu family is a famous family, they have always passed on poems and rites to the family. In Xu Shanxin's generation, because of the war in the previous dynasty, whether his brothers or cousins, he died and ran away." I have to run. Although there are still one or two branches, the Xu family is a little bit down because of the war in the previous dynasty. Moreover, as far as I know, although the Xu family was a famous family before, but in Xu Jingzong's generation, But it seems that the name is not worthy of the name. If he didn't choose to follow the Holy Majesty, he might follow his father's path."

"What does this have to do with his Xu family trying to kill me? Do you think it is impossible for his Xu family to do anything to me just because his Xu family is in decline?" Li Chongyuan listened for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.

The butler smiled and said: "Little Lang, don't you see it? Although the Xu family has the heart, they don't have the strength. A deadly assassin is not something ordinary people can afford. Those who can afford to train dead soldiers are not from aristocratic families, and they definitely don't have the strength to train them."

"You mean, the Xu family doesn't have that strength at all?" Li Chongyuan understood now.

The butler nodded and replied: "Didn't you find out about Xu Jingzong's career as an official? Xu Jingzong was originally a secretary in the previous dynasty, but later he joined the Wagang Army. After Li Mi's defeat, he became a subordinate of the Holy One." From his journey, it is not difficult to find that whether he is Xu Jingzong or his Xu family, he does not have the strength to train dead soldiers. Not to mention his Xu family, even the Xue family does not have that strength So many dead soldiers have been cultivated."

"Then, butler, who do you think sent an assassin to assassinate me? Or, who do you suspect?" Li Chongyuan asked aloud after being completely lost in the analysis of the butler.

After thinking about it, the butler said, "The family."

The aristocratic family, this is the target of the housekeeper's suspicion.

However, Li Chongyuan had just sent Wang Ting away, and the aristocratic family had already been ruled out, but now the housekeeper talked about the aristocratic family, which really made Li Chongyuan not know which direction to go.

"Which one of the aristocratic families?" Li Chongyuan asked more specifically.

The butler thought for a while and said: "The Cui family and the Lu family. As far as I know, there is no movement from the Wang family. Similarly, I have not heard of any actions from the Wang family. Moreover, you have not made any changes to the Wang family recently. People have done it, Gu Er, the Wang family can be ruled out directly. As for the Zheng family, although you have captured a Zheng family in the court, Mr. Xiaolang, but it was only an attack from the court, and it did not cause damage. Guess, Zheng The family will definitely not send out the dead to assassinate Xiao Langjun in such a big way."

"So, you think that if I disabled the members of the Cui family, you would directly and definitely suspect that those dead men came from the Cui family. But the members of the Lu family, I have nothing to do with it. Why do you doubt the Lu family?" Li Chongyuan asked.

The housekeeper shook his head lightly, and sighed a little: "Oh, young man, it seems that you have been away from Chang'an for too long, and I am afraid that you have forgotten the matter of Cui Lu's indiscriminate relationship."

"Cui and Lu don't know, this." Li Chongyuan seemed to understand something when he heard the butler's words, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

Seeing that Li Chongyuan seemed to understand, the steward said with relief on his face: "Young Lord is smart, you can understand a little bit. One assassin, two assassins, and some clans can afford to train them, but if there are more than ten dead soldiers, then it's just a matter of time." Not ordinary clans can afford it. However, these aristocratic families have the strength, the conditions, and the capital, not to mention ten, even hundreds of dead men, it is nothing to worry about Yes. So, let me say this, Mr. Xiaolang, you should know it in your heart."

"I still can't figure it out." Li Chongyuan said.

The butler smiled and said: "I can understand. After all, you have not been in Chang'an for a long time, Mr. Xiaolang, and you know very little about what happened in Chang'an and some of the intricate relationships. Let me just say it straight. Mr. Xiaolang, you are useless. That Chang'an county magistrate, Cui Tong, his wife's surname is Lu, and her name is Lu Yue. Moreover, you have not released Lu Yue until now. Cui Lu is in your hands. Who do you think will want it, Mr. Xiaolang? To your death!"

"What about the Fang family?" Li Chongyuan began to understand at this moment, but he always doubted this and that in his heart, and Li Chongyuan also knew that Fang Xuanling's wife was also from the Lu family, so he asked this question.

After the housekeeper heard this, he was a little hesitant, "Fang family, I'm not [-]% sure yet. However, since Fang Xuanling's wife is also from the Lu family, I think that if the Cui Lu family sent people to assassinate Xiao Mr. Lu must have known about yours. I even doubt that Mr. Lu may have participated in it. After all, Mr. Lu, you were the one who abolished her son Fang Yizhi. He is a person who protects himself and the calf. As for whether there are any dead men in the Fang family, as far as I know, there are no dead men in the Fang family, and there are some loyal entourages. Moreover, I have seen those entourages. It was verified."

"So, you think the Fang family is unlikely. The most likely ones are Cui and Lu's family." After hearing the butler's words, Li Chongyuan began to simplify all the complicated things in his mind.

The butler nodded.

Li Chongyuan understood, and understood.

According to what the steward said and his analysis, the targets were all directed at the two aristocratic families of Cui and Lu.

In Li Chongyuan's eyes, a little more ruthlessness began to appear.

For the family, Li Chongyuan has always had some thoughts. Even when he was in conflict with the royal court a few years ago, Li Chongyuan responded positively, fearing that he would be hit by the family.

Fortunately, at that time, due to some reasons within the Wang family where Wang Ting was located, Li Chongyuan was finally taken advantage of, and even established a relationship with Wang Ting.

After a few years.

If it wasn't for the pig mud, Li Chongyuan wouldn't have had such a big conflict with the Cui family, let alone abolish Cui Tong directly.

But in Li Chongyuan's mind.

Once someone touches his bottom line, he must use strong means to beat him so that he can't get up again.

Just like that Cui Tong.

Even if he dared to reach out and attack the people around him, Li Chongyuan would not care who he was from the Cui family, even if he was the eldest son of the Cui family, Li Chongyuan would still directly beat him like Cui Tong.

But now.

The Cui family is still the Lu family, even though they sent an assassin to assassinate him.

Moreover, more than ten assassins were sent out.

Up to now, there are more than [-] assassins, this has to make Li Chongyuan feel jealous, and he must wipe out these ones, so as not to put himself in danger.

As for whether these assassins were from the Cui family or the Lu family, Li Chongyuan could not confirm.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Chongyuan already had an idea in his mind.

And the housekeeper who kept replying, seemed to understand Li Chongyuan's thoughts, and suggested aloud: "Xiao Langjun, no matter what, it doesn't matter whether it's the Cui family or the Lu family. You have to be careful and careful. If you can get rid of it, it’s best to get rid of it from the root. After all, the assassin is a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. If you do it, Xiao Lang, the Holy Majesty will not blame you."

Hearing what the steward said, Li Chongyuan immediately looked at him.

The butler was stared at by Li Chongyuan, and there seemed to be nothing but a smile on his face.

Li Chongyuan also laughed.

"Housekeeper, it seems that you already know about the movements of the past few days." Li Chongyuan asked with a smile.

The butler rubbed his chin, pretending to be ignorant, and asked, "Why don't I know what happened to Mr. Xiao Lang?"

That's all for now, everyone understands.

If you are confused, you have to pretend.

Li Chongyuan smiled and stopped asking questions.

It may be difficult to hear what you want to hear from the housekeeper.

Shortly after.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, the butler bid farewell and left Xisha County Prince's Mansion.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Tang Li came over, "Young Lord, I found some suspicious people near the mansion and in the cultivation workshop."

"Oh? It seems that those suspicious people were sent by him. If that's the case, let's arrest them all before the gate of the workshop is closed." Li Chongyuan had already expected such a thing in his heart.

Tang Li nodded, then turned around to make arrangements.
