Chongrenfang is located in the southeast corner of the imperial city, almost next to the imperial temple of the imperial city, and the diagonal diagonal is the famous east market of Chang'an City, plus all the rich and noble families living around Chang'an City, so Chongrenfang is usually very lively here, especially in the past few years Chang'an City opened the ban on business, so that business is no longer limited to the two merchants in the East Market, and as a result, Chongrenfang near the East City has also opened a lot of merchant restaurants, as if it has become another East Market.

However, within one mile of Chongrenfang near the side of the Taimiao, it is strictly forbidden for any merchants to enter, because the Taimiao ** worships the royal ancestors, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb, and the merchant restaurant is the most noisy, so there is such a regulation.

It is worth mentioning that there is also an important building on the side of Chongrenfang near the Taimiao, that is, the famous Confucian Temple, and Guozijian is also here, Guozijian can be said to be the highest university in the Tang Dynasty, and the prisoners also need a quiet environment to study, so this is also one of the reasons why merchants are prohibited from entering.

Early this morning, a horse-drawn carriage traveled quickly along the road on the south side of the imperial city, and soon passed through the gate of Chongrenfang, and came to a street near Guozijian, because the west side of this street is Guozijian, so this place is named because of this, it is called Xuezi Street, and on the east side of Xuezi Street, most of them are some quiet residences, mainly where the prisoners of Guozijian stay, and some gentlemen in prison also place their homes here.

The carriage stopped at the corner of Xuezi Street, near which there was a house under construction, which is not accurate, because the building under construction did not have a yard, but a building that covered a considerable area, and what was even more peculiar was that the building was not made of wood like ordinary buildings, but was built entirely of bricks.

Although in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, rectangular building bricks have appeared in the Central Plains, such as the earliest Zhao Wuling King built the Great Wall of Zhao, which was built using this kind of fired bricks, and later Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, which connected the Great Wall of various countries to form the earliest Qin Great Wall.

However, although the building bricks appeared very early, but because the cost of bricks is not low, ordinary people can not afford to use them at all, plus the buildings of the Central Plains have always liked to use wood, so in this period of the Tang Dynasty, the blue bricks are not used very much in the construction of houses, at most, the rich and noble people like to use blue bricks to build walls, in addition to the foundation and lower floor of the house, some green bricks will be used, and the main building is still mainly wooden.

"That's what Cui Gong said?" In the carriage, Zheng Zhong looked at the all-brick building under construction not far away, and asked with a somewhat surprised expression on his face.

"Yes, this is it, this is an abandoned mansion before, and then Li Xiu asked people to demolish and rebuild here, originally I thought he wanted to build a courtyard here or something, but now it doesn't look like it, after all, who built the place where he lives like this, and Li Xiu's performance is also quite strange." Cui Gan, who was sitting in the carriage, also said with a puzzled face at this time.

"What did Li Xiu do?" As soon as Cui Gan's words fell, I saw another middle-aged man who was also sitting opposite Cui Gan also asked curiously, this middle-aged man was Cui Fu'an, who was born in the Cui family of Qinghe.

A few days ago, Cui Gan gathered the people of the family together to discuss how to deal with Li Xiu's deliberate release of news, so as to hit the prestige of their family, and later although they discussed a way, Cui Gan told a thing about Li Xiu, but many people did not pay attention to this, but Zheng Zhong and Cui Fuan believed in Cui Gan more, so they made an appointment to take a look together today.

"Before the printing office was destroyed by fire, His Majesty ordered Li Xiu to rebuild the printing office, and even let him take care of the funeral anymore, which shows that His Majesty attaches great importance to the printing office, but during this time, Li Xiu stayed here most of the time except for going to the printing office, personally commanding people to build this strange building, so I think this building must have extraordinary significance, so Li Xiu attaches so much importance to it." Cui Gan immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"The Printing Office is a powerful weapon for Your Majesty to attack our family, and it is no wonder that Your Majesty will let Li Xiu focus all his energy on rebuilding the Printing Company, but he was distracted to build such a strange building, could it be that this building is related to the Printing Company?" Zheng Zhong couldn't help but guess when he heard Cui Gan's words.

Before, because of the assassination of Li Xiu, Zheng Zhong and Cui Gan also had some conflicts, but now they are both facing the same threat, which can be said to be grasshoppers on a rope, so they can only support each other, which means that Cui Gan has experienced a lot of storms and can control his temper, otherwise ordinary people really don't have such a belly.

"Could it be that Li Xiu wants to use this place as the production office of the printing office?" At this moment, I saw Cui Fu'an open his mouth to guess that although his ability is not as good as Zheng Zhong, he has an advantage, that is, he is willing to listen to the opinions of others, for example, he thinks that Cui Gan is the most trustworthy and shrewd, so he has always followed Cui Gan's side.

"No, the new printing office has already chosen a place, and it is still in the imperial city, after all, it has lost a fire last time, so the printing office will only be more tightly defended, and it will be safer in the imperial city, if it is placed here, I am afraid that the security problem alone is enough to give Li Xiu and them a headache." Cui Gan shook his head firmly at this time.

"Cui Gong is right, this will not be a printing office, but it must be extremely important for Li Xiu to spend so much time and energy here, it seems that we are going to mobilize our forces to investigate in many ways." Zheng Zhong also agreed with Cui Gan's analysis at this time.

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to find out here, I also wanted to inquire before, but even the craftsmen here don't know what this place is for, and even the people in the palace don't know, it seems that except for a few people such as Li Xiu and His Majesty, other people don't know the real purpose of this place at all." Cui Gan sighed at this time and said, if he could easily find out the news here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have specifically told Zheng Zhong about them.

"Hey, Cui Gong, look, it seems to be Li Xiu's carriage there!" At this moment, I suddenly saw Cui Fu'an pointing out the window of the car and shouting in a low voice, which made Cui Gan and Zheng Zhong also look at it, and saw a carriage at an intersection in the distance, and then the car stopped in front of the building under construction, and then Li Xiu got down from the carriage, but what Cui Gan didn't expect was that an unexpected person stepped down from the carriage immediately.
