The shopkeeper of Hongyuan Zhai listened to Xiao Qingyi Liu say the words I came to collect protection money, and then he first froze for a moment, and then laughed: "I have heard of Tsing Yi Building, saying that it is a group of soil buns from other places who came to Chang'an, thinking that if they can fight, they can break out of the world in Chang'an City, young people, they may not be able to get ahead, Chang'an is Chang'an, this place says that there are rivers and lakes, and there are rivers and lakes, and there are no rivers and lakes, do you know what I mean?" ”

Xiao Tsing Yi Liu still had that embarrassed morality, and said with some embarrassment: "It's really the first time I've done this kind of thing, and I also think it's very cheap and unstylish, but I can't call the shots in Tsing Yi Building, I can't beat him if I call the shots, I will be beaten if I don't come, and I will choose between being beaten and asking you for protection money, of course it's the latter." ”

He stretched out his hand: "Look at it." ”

The shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai snorted and laughed again: "If you come to beg, I will give you a handful of broken silver, if you give you some copper coins to send you, it seems that we Hongyuanzhai is stingy, but you are not here to beg, you might as well beg, if you want money, change the way, bow your head, bend down, say the auspiciousness of the shopkeeper, say that Hongyuanzhai is prosperous, I will reward you." ”

Xiao Qingyi Liu seemed to be a little unhappy, became serious, and said very seriously: "Please face it, I am here to collect protection money, although it is the first time, I also have principles." ”

The shopkeeper of Hongyuanzhai smiled and leaned back, and then asked curiously: "Since you chose our Hongyuanzhai for the first time to collect protection money, I want to ask you, why?" Is it because you think that our Hongyuan Zhai's business is big, so it will be easier to give money? Young man, have you thought deeply about the reasons why the business is getting bigger? ”

Xiao Qingyi Liu shook his head and replied more seriously: "The reason why I came to your Hongyuan Zhai for the first time to collect protection money is not because you are big, but because you are not pleasing to the eye, why are you so unsightly, I am already very polite, I still see that you are not pleasing to the eye, in case I can't be polite, it is not good for everyone." ”

The shopkeeper almost laughed: "Then don't be polite, don't be polite." ”

Bang!

As soon as he finished saying this, he flew backwards, and his body flew back into the house from outside the door, and he didn't know what he hit on, there was a sound of clanging ping-pong, obviously he didn't smash anything, Hongyuanzhai is selling antique jade, and everything that fell is valuable.

The point is that none of the six or seven guys at the door could see clearly how the shopkeeper flew back, and they didn't even see Xiao Tsing Yi Liu's movement, but someone still noticed that something was wrong, because the snow on Xiao Tsing Yi Liu's body fell a lot, how could the snow fall if people didn't move?

Xiao Qingyi Liu sighed: "It seems that I was so embarrassed at the beginning, no wonder Da Qingyi said when I came, if you are direct, you have to have the appearance of collecting protection money, and you will be fierce." ”

He stepped forward, and those guys naturally didn't think that nothing had happened, and immediately pounced to block it, but they still didn't see clearly how Xiao Qingyi Liu shot, so they flew out one by one, and the trajectory of the flight was surprisingly good, so there were seven or eight people piled up in the room, and I don't know what method he used, anyway, the people who flew out couldn't move, just piled up there.

"Tsing Yi Lou collects debts."

Xiao Tsing Yi Liu stood at the door and shouted loudly into the room: "Who will come out to greet you?" ”

The shopkeeper was all thrown down and piled at the bottom, not to mention moving, his breathing became difficult, but his mouth was not idle, he kept scolding, and at this time, people rushed over from both sides of the store, and the movement was very fast.

The corners of Xiao Qingyi's mouth raised: "Finally, a few interesting ones came." ”

A quarter of an hour later, there were also a few people piled up at the door of Hongyuanzhai, all of whom were masters of Hongyuanzhai, but the masters failed to keep Hongyuanzhai's face, and they were piled up there like a group of turtles that couldn't take back their legs.

"Tsing Yi Lou collects the accounts!"

Xiao Tsing Yi Liu shouted again.

The shopkeeper was about to turn his back on his anger, and said as if pleading: "There is money in the counter, you go and get it yourself, take as much as you want, and remove those people on me first." ”

Xiao Qingyi looked at the shopkeeper's appearance, and felt that it was indeed a little pitiful, the shopkeeper was at the bottom, and there were six or seven guys piled up on his body, which was a weight of hundreds of catties, and the shopkeeper had not carried his back to show that his physical fitness was not bad.

"Woohoos......."

Xiao Qingyi Liu suddenly remembered something, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "There is a word, called a big man?" ”

After finishing speaking, he smiled and leaned back, laughing and laughing, he might feel a little embarrassed, so he stopped laughing and got serious again: "Tsing Yi Lou has the rules of Tsing Yi Lou to collect accounts, we want customers to be happy and willing to put the silver in our hands, not robbery, not blackmail, not coercion, if I go to take the silver in your counter by myself, it seems that our Tsing Yi Lou style is very low, that is a hard robbery, how can we do such a vulgar thing, that is against the laws of Daning, so, Since you are not willing to pay the protection money today, then I will come back tomorrow. ”

After he finished speaking, he exited the door of Hongyuanzhai's house, and took out a piece of paper from his cuff and pasted it at the door.

Just a few words on paper...... Debtors.

When he was done, he turned and walked away, carrying the long knife that didn't have to untie the cloth at all.

Even if the shopkeeper of Hongyuan Zhai is about to be stupid, he can already understand that Tsing Yi Lou is not here to collect any protection money at all, but to provoke, not long after someone from the Cheng family came, and they were all furious when they saw such a messy scene in Hongyuan Zhai, they carried people down, and found that people still couldn't move, and their limbs were stretched out and looked like turtles, except for the hands and feet that could have more subtle movements, even the neck couldn't be twisted.

Tsing Yi Building.

Han Zhaozhi blew on the teacup, looked back at the window, and happened to see Xiao Qingyi six carrying the long knife back from outside, so he smiled: "The guy who collected the account is back, do you think you can receive the account?" ”

Ye Fubian cleaned up the file: "I'll go first." ”

Ye Liuyun couldn't help laughing: "Is this going to run away?" ”

Ye Fubian said: "Otherwise, you go directly to Cheng's Hongyuanzhai to make trouble, if Hongyuanzhai's people don't call back immediately, it's strange, you have done such a thing to startle the snake, what are you waiting for if I don't run quickly?" With all due respect, if the people of the Cheng family don't come to Tsing Yi Building, I will spend ten taels of silver for each of you! ”

Han Zhaozhi: "It's so generous. ”

Ye Liuyun: "Thank you." ”

Ye Fubian was a little angry, and slammed the file on the table with a snap: "Do you two still treat me as a brother?" Don't tell me anything, and tell me when you're done, this is treating me as an outsider? ”

"Because I know you won't say yes."

Han Zhaozhi walked back with his arm around Ye Fubian's shoulder: "It's not that complicated, didn't we talk about it just now, we can be sure of what His Majesty asked us to determine but we can't find any evidence, the first thing to investigate has passed forty years, where is there any evidence, but those people have to do it, if you can't find the evidence from decades ago, then check the current evidence, they carefully shrank their tails, then we will go and stomp on this tail, let them move, and there will be flaws when they move." ”

"Why the Cheng family?"

Ye Fubian asked angrily.

"The old lady of the Cheng family only left last year, and now the head of the Cheng family, Cheng Fanghe, has a very close relationship with that old man, Cheng Fanghe's father left early, and the old lady has always been in charge of the affairs of the Cheng family, so I firmly believe that Cheng Fanghe will hear a lot of things from his grandfather, but Cheng Fanghe can't hide now, we can't find him, so we can only force him out."

Han Zhaozhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Back then, Cheng Fanghe's grandfather was one of the people involved, and he was also one of the people who took the lead, that is, he said in front of the emperor that His Majesty had an eagle serving the wolf, and it was not as good as the benevolence and righteousness of the eldest prince, at that time, His Majesty did not accept their control, and the eldest prince was close to them in order to secure the position of the crown prince, and he also took a lot of benefits from these noble families." ”

At that time, Li Chengyuan and many noble families were very tight, in order to stabilize the position of the crown prince, he and many families promised that as long as he could become the emperor of Daning, he would definitely reuse the descendants of these noble old ministers, and promised too much, so there were too many people who supported Li Chengyuan at that time, they seemed to be brainwashed all day long in front of the emperor to talk about Li Chengyuan's benefits, but they kept belittling Li Chengtang, because they knew that once the emperor chose Li Chengtang, it was impossible for them to restore the glory of the family.

However, the ascension of Li Chengyuan to the throne was only the beginning of the plan, and their plan was beyond imagination.

Judging from what Han Zhaozhi and Ye Liuyun have found now, the span of this plan is at least more than ten years, or even longer, and they can be said to have done everything for this plan, even Mu Zhaotong, who was in power back then, was just a link in this plan.

It's just that later, the current His Majesty Li Chengtang unexpectedly ascended the throne and became the Emperor of Daning, Mu Zhaotong also took the opportunity to withdraw from that plan, and even once placed himself on top of many big families, why can Mu Zhaotong master so many resources and have so many people to support, even if he has fallen later, there are still so many people who can be used, including financial and material resources, it is because Mu Zhaotong has a lot of their handles in his hands, and they have to provide these for Mu Zhaotong.

So when Mu Zhaotong died, these people were also relieved.

Li Chengtang became emperor and interrupted that plan.

Why does Lee Seung-won have no heirs?

That's part of the plan.

Why did Lee Seung-won's queen design to kill Lee Seung-won?

Why did Mu Zhaotong decide to choose a young man from among the king's heirs to become the new emperor?

None of this is accidental.

Li Chengyuan's queen surname is Su, Queen Su's maiden family is the founding meritorious family, Su Tong, the ancestor of the Su family, is the elder brother of His Majesty Emperor Taizu of Daning, although he did not follow Taizu from the place where he started his army, but later after returning to Shun, he repeatedly made military exploits in front of Taizu before and after the saddle, and after the founding of the country, Su Tong was named the Duke of the Key Country.

Li Chengyuan's election of the queen from the Su family was also one of the conditions for receiving support that year.

Once these things are investigated, you will find that people have fallen into an ice cave that has not melted for thousands of years, and they are shivering from the cold.
