People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 653 Li Jingye, Why Are You Again?
As the night fell, the sound of the evening drum had already fallen, the lights flickered, and the entire Taipingfang gradually fell into silence.

The second watch gong sounded rhythmically, and melodious shouts spread throughout the Taiping Square: "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of fires and candles, close doors and windows, prevent theft and theft, be safe and sound, go to bed early and get up early."

Standing under the gate of the square, Li Xuan watched the only few passers-by in the square. Under the persuasion of the chief, he quickly returned home, then closed the doors and windows, and prepared to rest. The whole Taiping Square was completely quiet.

Behind Li Xuan, a team of Jinwu Guards and a team of Qianniu Guards stood on both sides.

Cui Ding is wearing two gourd hammers, Zhou Gan is holding a thousand bull knife in his arms, and he is wearing armor.

From time to time, the gazes of the two fell on the obtuse-looking Qin Gan in the crowd.

When the figures on the street completely disappeared, the head of the village and Fang Zheng immediately returned to the gate of the square.

Li Xuan looked at the two of them indifferently, the extremely coercive gaze made them dare to raise their heads.

"Several months ago, the Silla envoy came here and entered a certain house here." Li Xuan's voice was very slow, and every word was like a hammer, deeply digging into the relationship between Li Chang and Fang Zheng. heart.

Hundreds of Jinwu Guards and Qianniu Guards stared at Li Chang and Fang Zheng at the same time.

"My lord knows that most of the people living in Taipingfang are powerful people, and you can't afford to offend many people." Li Xuan's eyes fell on the entire Taipingfang. The Suzaku Gate is across the street to the north.
I don't know how many important ministers and relatives of the emperor live here.

Although many high-ranking officials and dignitaries can open doors on the wall at will, but the north of Taipingfang is the imperial palace, who has no brains and will open the gate to the opposite of the imperial palace, is it because they are impatient?

The entire long street faces south from the north. In the south row, several houses have opened their doors on the south courtyard wall, but there is no one on the north side, and what Li Xuan is eyeing now is on the north side. a row.

Standing on the roof, you can overlook the entire palace.

Ordinary people would not have the guts to do this, even if it is a wealthy family, it is easy to be labeled as an arrogance.

But Donghai King and Qin Dujiao did it, they saw Li Xuan enter the palace here at the beginning.

……

Although it is late at night, there are still a few families with lights on.

Although many people don't know what will happen tonight, those who are vigilant enough have already smelled a special smell.

"There are too many people here, you can't afford to offend, but you also can't afford to offend me, my lord. If you are a little restless tonight, the Qianniuwei Prison is empty now, enough to hold you and all your family members. Let's go in." As soon as Li Xuan's words fell, the head of the village and Fang Zheng immediately clapped their hands together: "I don't dare!"

Li Xuan's indifferent eyes fell on the two of them, and said lightly: "I don't ask you if you dare, but I ask you, in late September last year, in the row of houses in the north, which houses were there on weekdays?" Is there no one at all, or only a few servants?"

The head of the village moved forward with a bitter face, cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the king, there are more than a dozen such families in the entire Taipingfang, and there are seven or eight families in the north row alone."

"The list." Li Xuan stretched out her hand directly.

The chief hesitated for a while, then took out a stack of papers from his bosom, and finally took out one from the inside and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction,

Fangzheng and Lichang, as the [-] local snakes in Chang'an, everything in the workshop is under their control.

How many unseen evils in the dark night, they all watched silently in the dark.

I know it, but I seldom speak out.

Just like the teacher in the school, no matter how many small movements the students make below, they are all under the watchful eyes of the teacher, the same is true for Li Zhang and Fang Zheng.

Li Xuan didn't directly ask the head of the village and Fangzheng about what happened that night. In fact, they themselves might not know much about it.

After all, if they really knew, the King of Donghai would not allow them to survive.

In this matter, what Li Xuan really focused on was Silla's pleading envoy Qin blunt angle.

"Let's go, lead the way." Li Xuan waved his hand, and the two immediately stepped forward.

……

Under the watchful eyes of Qianniuwei and Jinwuwei, Qin Dujiaogan followed Li Xuan, walking slowly on the long street, his breathing started to become short at some point.

"Stop." Li Xuan looked at the list in his hand, looked at the completely dark house in front of him, looked at Fang Zheng and the head of the village, and asked, "Is this the home of Guo Yun, the former servant of the household department?"

"Yes, Guo Shilang was transferred to Chuzhou governor last spring." The village chief immediately cupped his hands and stepped forward to introduce the situation of Guo Shilang's family.

As soon as the chief had finished speaking, Li Xuan turned around immediately, her eyes fixed on Qin Obtuse Jiaogan like a sharp long sword.

Qin blunt horn felt an inexplicable panic for a moment, and quickly lowered his head.

A sneer flashed across the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, then she looked at Li Chang and Fang Zheng and said, "Go ahead."

"Here!" Li Zhang and Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Guo Shilang is not in the court, he has worked in the court for many years and has a close relationship.

No matter who wants to offend him, they have to think carefully.

Li Xuan continued walking, passing through several old houses with no one at home.

Every time, Li Xuan would ask about the identity of the master's family, and always turn around to take a look.

After a glance, he continued on until he came to the new house.

"This house belongs to Shaofu Wei." Li Xuan couldn't help frowning immediately when she saw the names on the list.

The head of the village took half a step forward and said: "Reporting to the lord, in the first year of the first year of Shangyuan, Shaofu Wei moved to Secretary of Agriculture, and inspected the campus. In the second year, he was appointed Minister of the Shaofu. If you don’t come back, your family will also go to Luoyang, there are only a few old servants in the family, at this moment, I’m afraid the industry has already rested.”

Of course Li Xuan knew who Wei Shaofu was, Wei Ji, Wei Hongji.

The supervisor in the front hall will be the supervisor, Si Nong Shaoqing, Si Nongqing, and now he is the Minister of the Shaofu.

The position of the Shaofu, in charge of all the royal craftsmen, sacrificing guibi in the suburbs, playing with the emperor's utensils, empress and concubines' costumes with colorful carvings, chariots and roads, horse bridles, weaving and dyeing, crowns, Fan Rong, weapons for soldiers and farmers, various coins, mutual markets, etc. wait.

In a word, Shao Fuqing is the emperor's financial steward.

It can be seen that Wei Hongji was trusted by the emperor.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and at the same time turned her head to look at the blunt horn behind Qin.

Seeing the obtuse angle of Qin glanced at the Wei mansion, he immediately turned his head and looked elsewhere. Although his hands were blown down naturally, his fingers were stretched out. Although his breathing was steady, his heart was beating extremely fast.

Li Xuan looked sideways at the head of the village and Fang Zheng, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the next one."

As soon as Li Xuan took a step, the whole body tensed up and down, disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But at this moment, Li Xuan stopped again and looked back at the Wei Mansion.

Just at this moment, his blunt heart beat violently again, his fingers stretched all over his body, and he looked at Li Xuan with an extremely embarrassed expression, and his breathing also became completely heavy at this moment.

Li Xuan's eyes lightly fell on Qin's obtuse horned body, and he said lightly: "National envoy, your heartbeat has accelerated again."

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, all the Qianniu Guards and Jin Wu Guards stared at Qin Dujiaogan.

This time, under the tiger's eyes, the blunt horn Gan even started to tremble uncontrollably.

"My lord... my lord, my lord was joking, but my ministers are just a little cold." The corners of Qin Gangan's mouth twitched slightly, refusing to admit his strangeness.

Li Xuan sneered slightly at the corner of her mouth, stared at Fangzheng and the head of the village, and said in a cold voice: "From September last year until now, this house, the left and right, and the house to the south, these four houses, after the curfew, Hand in all the credentials and records used for entry and exit, and if there is any concealment, you will be sent to prison immediately."

"Here!" Cui Ding and Zhou Qian cupped their hands at the same time, and then looked at Fang Zheng and Li Zhang with piercing eyes, as if waiting for them to refuse.

The corners of Fang Zheng and Li Chang's mouths twitched slightly, and they finally returned home, and then prepared all the things Li Xuan needed.

Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, then opened all the records, read them carefully, and saw a certain page on September [-]th, her expression immediately turned cold.

"Someone from the British government drove a carriage here on the night of September [-]?" Li Xuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth.

Li Jingye, the heir to the United Kingdom, why did this matter have something to do with him again.

Did he really have any connection with the King of the East China Sea, or was he being closely watched by the King of the East China Sea?
Fangzheng stepped forward slightly at this time, cupped his hands and said: "Report to the lord, the mansion to the south is the other courtyard of the Duke's mansion."

"The other courtyard, the British government has another courtyard in Taipingfang?" Li Xuan was a little angry and angry.

It is not easy to live in the imperial capital.

Not to mention ordinary people, even middle and low-level officials cannot afford a house in Chang'an.

The British Duke's Mansion was the mansion bestowed to the British Duke Li Ji during the Taizong Dynasty, and Li Jingye lives there now.

But in this big house today, there are few lights inside, but there are not many people living in it, so it is deserted.

But the size of the square is absolutely extraordinary.

Taipingfang, to the north is the Imperial Palace, such an important place, Li Jingye actually owns a mansion here.

"Has that house always belonged to the British government?" Li Xuan's expression suddenly became gloomy.

"No." The head of the village quickly stepped forward and said, "That house was bought by Xianheng three years ago, that is, four years ago, from the family of Jiang Ke, the former minister of Zhongyong'an County, by the Duke of England."

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and said: "Jiang Ke, Duke of Yong'an County, if what I remember is correct, the Jiang family has no children working in Beijing now, and it seems that Duke Yong'an County was under the command of the British Duke, right?"

The head of the village immediately cupped his hands and said: "What the lord said is true. The Duke of Yong'an County was promoted to the prime minister because of his military exploits. It's just that the descendants are too miserable to keep this family business."

Li Xuan looked up, on the left was the house of Wei Hongji, Minister of the Shaofu, and on the right was the house of the British Duke Li Jingye.

"Come here." Li Xuan looked sideways at Zhou Gan, who immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your official is here!"

"Immediately send a letter to the Zuoqianniuwei Mansion to inform the Prince of Beiping about this matter, and see if he can inform the palace. If not, return immediately." As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Zhou Qian had already left with his hands.

He didn't want to report this matter to the Central Committee, even Li Xuan's father-in-law, Liu Rengui, was also a subordinate of the British Duke Li Ji, and Jiang Ke, the former servant and prime minister, was also a subordinate of the British Duke Li Ji.

He believed that as long as he reported to the center, someone from the center would come to investigate immediately.
