Datang start shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 602 The Death of Chu Yuanheng
"Your account, my son, the villain already has a clue—"

Wang Dafu has such a round body, his buttocks are half stretched, his posture makes Wang Zi'an feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, look at how uncomfortable you are, just stand up and say—"

Wang Dafu immediately left his butt as if he had received an amnesty.He was already fat, so sitting with his half-bent body was no different from squatting, and it would be more comfortable to stand directly.

"The villain recently contacted seven or eight wineries, and finally found out about an old winery. Because something happened to the family, a large sum of money is urgently needed, and he is considering whether to sell it—"

Having said this, Wang Dafu showed a troubled expression on his face.

"However, the other party said that it is an ancestral winery, and the asking price is relatively high..."

Wang Zi'an waved his hand lightly.

"Price doesn't matter, as long as it's worth the price—"

The wine here in Wang Dafu is considered to be a relatively famous red wine from the Western Regions in the entire West Market, but to be honest, it still lacks a bit of taste.Not only is there some suspended dross, but the alcohol content is also a bit low.For him who is used to drinking the red wine of the later generations, these red wines are not so much wine as drinks, and they are always a bit unsatisfactory.

So, I decided to set up a workshop for myself to brew some mellow western red wine.

At that time, he just mentioned this sentence casually and didn't take it into his heart. If Wang Dafu hadn't come here this time and took the initiative to come over, he would almost not be able to think about it.

Wang Dafu's face changed slightly when he heard that, thinking that Wang Zi'an had discovered his little thoughts, he nodded and bowed quickly.

"Young master, don't worry, the villain will talk to them again..."

Wang Zi'an waved his hand indifferently.

"I still lack a helper who is familiar with the local conditions. See if you have any friends who want to be a friend here. The salary is not a problem, the problem is that you can help - after the matter is done, your benefits will be indispensable -"

It wasn't until Wang Zi'an and his party walked a long way that Wang Dafu slowly straightened up.

Although I don't know the identity of this son-in-law, but the manner in which he is dressed makes him look like a remarkable nobleman.

"Perhaps, the wine shop at home can really be sold..."

That's right, the winery he mentioned just now belongs to their family, and it's not because the family is in a hurry for money, but because someone has been eyeing his family's winery recently.However, that person is quite powerful in the local area. Under the intimidation of that person, not to mention that the businessmen who come and go are afraid to buy wine from their own house, even many local material suppliers have expressed that they want to stop cooperation with him——

The whole wine shop was in trouble all of a sudden.

A letter came from my family last month, saying that if I don't think of a solution, the winery will have to close down.

After pondering for a while, he beckoned a servant over and whispered in his ear.

"Go, find out what the identity of that young master just now is—"

……

Wang Zi'an didn't care about this episode.

It's just a small wine workshop, and it's just for fun.

"Wine wine luminous cup——"

The poems he had memorized since he was a child made him yearn for this kind of manly drinking scene for many years.

In the previous life, there was only wine, but no luminous glass. This life is amazing. With the luminous glass, the imaginary wine is gone.

Therefore, I moved my mind to open a wine shop.

But these are small things.

Now I don't have to do many things by myself, as long as I nod, someone will take care of it for me, such as this winery, which is to explain things by myself.

As for manpower and the like, it is natural to have the shopkeeper and steward in the house to handle it.

What really needs to be concerned about is his marriage.

A few days ago, the wedding date was finally set.

The fourth day of February.

It is suitable for offering sacrifices, marrying, accepting a son-in-law, and getting rid of clothes.Avoid breaking ground and laying down a bed.

It is an auspicious day for the Li Cheng family to look forward to.

Therefore, although he does not need to handle many things himself and does not understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty, he is the rightful master after all, and both his parents are dead, and he has no other relatives except the distant uncle in his hometown. For everything, I have to ask for his opinion and get his nod.

However, fortunately, he is also a deaf ear, existing symbolically.

In the past few days, Li Shimin pretended to be the emperor and sent several officials from the Ministry of Rites to Wang Zi'an to help manage it.

After all, although he didn't have a showdown, both Yue'er and Ying'er now have the title of princess, so it is reasonable for the Ministry of Etiquette to manage it.

On Cheng Yaojin's side, Gao Fu, Lao Geng and the other old people from the residence squatted directly at Wang Zi'an's residence and did not leave.

Busy inside and out—

Wang Zi'an didn't know what they were busy with.

Anyway, except for the first few days, I was still busy with other things, and the rest was just wandering around with my hands behind my back, and then drank three small wines a day.Look at that posture, if Wang Zi'an doesn't push back, they can directly retire here.

However, if that's the case, Wang Zi'an would be quite happy.

The main reason is that these old men are so old that they are still out of character and play well.

It's interesting to chat.

Especially when it comes to the days when I was a bandit, everyone's eyes shine.

It's much more interesting than chatting with people like Kong Yingda.

Anyway, in the past few days, he has nothing to do, so he is just playing the role of a nodding shopkeeper.So, apart from being with Susu, you and me, you just sit at home, chat with Gao Fu and Lao Geng, play mahjong, fight landlords, and play backgammon.

A few people, it is really a tiger on the mountain meeting a tiger on the mountain, and a dragon in the cloud meeting a dragon in the fog.In short, everyone does not dislike anyone.

Wang Zi'an thinks it's mainly because he hasn't played yet.

Otherwise, let alone yourself, even if you release your youngest apprentice, you can torture the old fellows to the point of disarming them.

just play-

Happy days.

……

Hezhou City, Governor's Mansion.

A middle-aged man with a capable figure walked quickly into the room where Shi Yunting, the governor, was recuperating.

In the room, on the bed, Shi Yunting's face was like gold paper, his breath was sluggish, it looked like a dying candle in the wind, ready to fly west at any moment.

Hearing the movement, Shi Yunting weakly opened his eyes, and waved to the personal servant girl who was waiting by his side.

The maid stepped back tactfully.

When the door was closed and the sound of footsteps disappeared, the middle-aged man said in a low voice.

"Report to the governor, the fish moved—"

Shi Yunting's eyes flashed involuntarily, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, where he still looked half-dying.

If Chu Yuanheng was here at this time, he would definitely be dumbfounded and yell that it is not good.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see any of these.

Out of caution, in the past few days, he secretly asked people to investigate the medicines recently purchased by the governor's office.

Although the doctor who treated Shi Yuntingan's old thief has been staying in the Governor's Mansion, concentrating on treating Shi Yunting's illness, he has no way to approach him, but he has been asked with a prescription, and it is indeed for treating internal and external injuries, and the amount used is very large. It can be concluded that the injured person is seriously injured and his life is in danger.

Therefore, in the past few days, he was relieved.

Began to gradually mobilize the Hezhou border guards.

Hundreds of thousands of catties of refined steel is not a small amount.

If you want to secretly transport it out of customs, you will naturally spend a lot of thought.

"These old foxes really hold their breath. I thought he would act that day when he went back. I didn't expect that he dragged on for so many days. It really killed me—"

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Shi Yunting's face, he stretched out his hand to beat his stiff back, and then lay down calmly.

"No, I'm hurt—"

Middle-aged man: ...

That night.

In Hezhou City, where the curfew was originally imposed, tightly packed carriages came out of the yard where the Wang family usually stored goods, and headed for the west gate silently.

But what is strange is that the officers and soldiers who used to come and go on inspections from time to time, for some reason, always staggered with the Zhezhi convoy by coincidence.

Along the way, except for the rumbling of wheels on the street, the entire convoy was silent.

The west gate of Hezhou City opened silently, and the suspension bridge fell down.

The convoy filed out.

On the top of the city, looking at the convoy gradually disappearing into the night, Chu Yuanheng's eyes flickered, looking at Wang Gang beside him.

Wang Gang ignored him, and just patted the cold and hard green bricks on the top of the city lightly.

"Tomorrow, there will be a Tubo tribe with thousands of people united with rogue bandits, taking the opportunity to harass Hezhou. Fortunately, Chu Yuanheng, the soldier of Hezhou, is not chaotic in the face of danger. Army Commander Poor Nadok, and the deployment of hundreds of—”

Having said this, Wang Gang turned around leisurely.

"I will personally sign on the battle report and recommend Brother Chu as the governor of Qizhou—"

Chu Yuanheng's eyes flickered, and he nodded.

"I hope this time, you can keep your word!"

Although Qizhou is not his hometown, it is only separated by a river from his hometown.

In the past few years, he had had enough of the hardships at the border, and he just wanted to go home, transfer back to the mainland, and enjoy a few years of tenderness and wealth.

"You don't follow this kind of thing yourself?"

Chu Yuanheng glanced mockingly at Wang Gang, who was still playing with his tone.

The children of these aristocratic families hate them the most, and they will never forget these pretentious airs.Do you really think the Wang family is still the same Wang family?

"Some small things, I have my own family members to deal with—"

Wang Gang smiled.

"Brother Chu, there's nothing wrong with you, why don't you come to my place for a few drinks, as it happens that I still need to ask Brother Chu—"

Thinking of leaving this ghostly place soon, Chu Yuanheng was in a good mood and readily obeyed.

The main reason is that once he returns to the mainland, he will need to rely on the Wang family even more, so he has to make false claims with this annoying guy.

However, when they returned to the small courtyard where Wang Gang lived, before they could sit down, they heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes outside.

Chu Yuanheng couldn't help standing up suddenly, his expression changed drastically.

Shaking the cloak, holding the long knife in his hand, he walked out quickly, wanting to check the situation.

However, as soon as the gate was opened, officers and soldiers surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, as well as torches held high.Under the torch, a familiar face, sitting high on the horse, was stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile.

If it's not that old thief Shi Yunting, who else is he!

Just looking at Shi Yunting's old face, Chu Yuanheng felt dizzy.

"how can that be!"

He subconsciously exclaimed.

"Brother Chu, don't come here without any problems—hahaha, is it unexpected, is it surprising—"

Shi Yunting twisted his beard and laughed out loud.

After lying down for so many days, my waist was straight, and I finally got my head out!
The moment Shi Yunting appeared, Chu Yuanheng knew it was over.

But the trapped beast is still fighting, he is naturally not willing to just capture it without a fight.

You must know that there is still an elite loyal to yourself on the top of the city. As long as you give yourself a little time and persist until this elite comes to help, you can turn defeat into victory.

As long as Shi Yunting is taken down, with himself and Wang Gang around, he can take over Hezhou smoothly.

At that time, whether it is black or white, it is not up to you to decide!
Taking [-] steps back, if you really reach that step, with your back on Tubo and a large army in your hand, you will still be qualified to negotiate with the imperial court.

At that time, is it possible that the imperial court will really force him to turn against him for the sake of a small governor?

"Shi Yunting, you led troops late at night and surrounded this place without authorization. What do you want to do? Could it be that you want to rebel!"

Chu Yuanheng drew his steel saber out of its sheath, pointed at Shi Yunting who was riding on the horse and shouted sharply.

Shi Yunting laughed loudly, looked at him complicatedly, and shook his head slightly.

"Chu Yuanheng, you are deeply favored by the emperor and have a bright future. I never thought that you would do such a scandalous thing of colluding with the inside and outside to betray the imperial court—it's really a pity—"

Upon hearing this, the last trace of luck in Chu Yuanheng's heart could not help but be extinguished.

As soon as he retreated into the courtyard, he wanted to close the courtyard door first.

Wang Gang's courtyard has tall walls and many guards in the courtyard. If you make good use of it, you can hold on for a while. As long as you can hold on for a quarter of an hour, your subordinates in the west of the city will be able to rush over to support them when they get news. , Who will win the game at that time is still unknown.

Seeing Chu Yuanheng hiding in the courtyard, Shi Yunting did not stop him.

"Chu Yuanheng, you really don't cry when you see the coffin. Now, are you still counting on the soldiers and horses on your wall?"

Chu Yuanheng: ...

He turned his ear and listened.

On the tower in the distance, the sound of people and horses fighting has already been heard, and one's heart sank to the bottom of the valley completely.

Obviously, the words and deeds of himself and Wang Gang have already fallen into the eyes of Shi Yunting, an old fox.

Everything today is clearly a trap!
At this time, Wang Gang also heard the movement outside, and when he saw the soldiers and horses surrounded outside, his legs softened and he sat down on the ground.

"It's over, we're over—"

Chu Yuanheng glanced contemptuously at this young man from the Wang family who had always been aloof in the past, no, he was still aloof just now.

"Bah——what a coward! I never thought that I, Chu Yuanheng, would be subservient to trash like you for so many years—a man dares to act bravely, and today's matter is nothing more than death, so what is there to say—"

After speaking, he drew his knife and killed himself.

Blood splattered everywhere, spraying Wang Gang's face.

A fishy smell emanated from Wang Gang's body in an instant, and he was so frightened that he lost control of himself.

He looked at Shi Yunting who jumped off his horse and led people towards him.
