Li Shi asked in the Wenhua Palace, since Liu Shirong learned that his family was surrounded by Li Xin and others, he was a little uneasy, he was not afraid that Qiu Ba would come to settle accounts for himself, anyway, he let out the old bones, but when he thought of the wives and concubines and children at home, he was not so calm.

Finally caught the scattered dynasty, Li Shiwen wanted to fly home with wings, but was stopped by Yang Sichang from behind.

"Brother Stay!"

"What's the matter with Yang Xiang?"

Li Shiwen was already at odds with Yang Sichang, but now he was so confused that he couldn't care about greeting him, and his tone was very unkind. Yang Sichang couldn't see Li Shiwen's attitude, but he only pretended not to see it.

"Brother Zhen, don't blame Si Chang for talking too much, you rushed home in such a hurry, how do you plan to deal with that Li Xin?"

Hearing Yang Sichang ask like this, Li Shiwen was stunned on the spot, yes, he just wanted to go home early, but he forgot to think about how to deal with Li Xin after returning home. I robbed someone else's 100,000 taels of silver, if I don't let out blood, I'm afraid ......

"Please also ask Yang Xiang for advice!"

Yang Sichang asked Li Shi to ask closely, and muttered in his ear, "How about the sincere brother?" ”

Li Shi asked for a moment of contemplation, stomped his feet and said, "I can't say it, I have to do it!" ”

……

The important ministers dispersed, and only the great tomorrow prince Zhu Youzhen and the celebrant Wang Chengen were left in the Wenhua Palace.

"Long live, just now the spies from Dongchang came to report that General Li used the outside of Master Li's house as a military camp?"

"How, barracks?"

"Exactly, it is said that even the wall is sandwiched like it."

Zhu Youzhen suddenly found it interesting, this time he saw that Li Shi asked how to deal with it, and when he asked for silver, why didn't he think about whether Li Xin would give up? These old guys in Pingsuri have to be unforgiving, and this time the wicked have their own wicked people to grind.

"Keep an eye on people, Lord Li is also a public heart, and he can't let them make trouble."

Wang Chengen nodded on the side and agreed, "Long live is always kind-hearted, but those old guys don't appreciate it." The old slave also went to see it in the morning, and General Li seemed to be measured and tight, and set up camp outside Master Li's house, according to the old slave, it was also to put pressure on him. ”

Zhu Youzhen left the throne and walked straight to the door of the Wenhua Palace, while Wang Chengen followed him softly. With a squeak, the door of the Wenhua Hall was opened, and the winter sun in the afternoon suddenly hit the face, dyeing the gloomy Wenhua Hall with a layer of golden brilliance, and the smoked Zhu Youzhen was filled with a thick warmth.

"Tell me about the situation in the barracks."

"Barracks?"

Wang Chengen didn't react for a while.

"The barracks outside Lord Li's house."

Wang Chengen was suddenly surprised, so he listened to everything he saw with his own eyes in the morning with Zhu You.

"That's what the old slave saw, and there are still some rules!"

He knew that the emperor liked Li Xin, so he naturally picked up what the emperor liked to listen to and said a few words from time to time, and every time he said it just right. Besides, Wang Chengen doesn't think it's a sycophant, Li Xin's deeds are spread in the palace, and because of Cao Huachun's factors, the eunuchs only pick up good words, and now all kinds of godlike versions are flooding the Forbidden City.

Although the emperor didn't see it with his own eyes, he could imagine that suddenly his childlike heart rose, and he really wanted to see Li Shiwen being cornered by Li Xin. But as the emperor, he must not show this kind of heartfelt thoughts, and even give condolences to Li Shiwen on the surface. This is the helplessness of being an emperor, who cannot express his true feelings all the time.

Li Shi asked out of the Forbidden City and rushed to Ming Shifang's house, and just after passing Chongwenmenli Street, he was shocked by the spectacular scene of people. This alley of his house is rarely visited by people in Pingsuri, and he also took a fancy to the quietness, so he chose the official residence here as his residence. I never thought that today it would be like a temple fair, only to see pedestrians gathering, countless vendors, and faintly heard the sound of uniform harmony in the crowd, like the trumpet shouted by soldiers.

Li Shiwen specially changed into a green robe and casual clothes before going home, for fear of being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble, now it seems that it is indeed necessary to change out of the official robe, otherwise he will have to be surrounded by people before he gets home. He parted the crowd and squeezed to the innermost point only to find that outside the door of his house had become a military camp, a neat fence, a brand new gate, and inside were soldiers shouting for training, and his home was caught in this barracks. But seeing the smoke curling and the faint smell of meat, it seems that this group of people has the intention of staying here.

Now that Li Shi asked if he had a home, he began to regret provoking Li Xin, the demon king. He never imagined that this person would use such a despicable trick to torture his family. In case the family had a bad day, he didn't dare to think about it anymore. Looking at the unrecognizable alley, Li Shi gritted his teeth, since the trouble had already been provoked, there was no reason to hide, and he strode towards the small gate.

In the eyes of the people watching the excitement, the barracks in the alley were pure pranks. But in fact, Li Xin was deployed in strict accordance with wartime standards, and the soldiers in charge of the guard immediately issued a warning to Li Shiwen, ordering him to stop immediately, otherwise the sword would have no eyes.

Li Shi finally broke out in anger, do I still have to get approval from you Qiu Ba when I go back to my house? I didn't pay attention to the soldier's warning, but I wanted to see if you Li Xin dared to really have no eyes for swords and arrows.

The crowd watching the excitement immediately burst into exclamations, asking Li Shiwen to hurry back. Many curious people had tried to get closer to observe the situation inside, and they had been warned of this, and some of them retreated, but some of them did not take it seriously, until several feathered arrows really shot from the fence, and almost wounded an idler, and the people knew that they were really moving, and they all retreated from the place where they were an arrow.

"Whoosh!"

A feather arrow was nailed into the ground next to Li Shiwen's feet, and the feathers at the end of the arrow were still buzzing and trembling due to the great strength. Frightened, Li Shiwen trembled in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, there is no reason to retreat, otherwise if it spreads, how can he gain a foothold in the court?

Li Xin got the instructions, an old man broke into the barracks regardless of the warning, whether to shoot him on the spot! The soldiers under his command carried out the general's orders to the letter, but Li Xin knew that he must not cause any trouble. He led his subordinates in the inner city to make such a big noise, and he didn't see the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei appear, nor did anyone from the Beijing camp come to guard, and even the soldiers and horses of the five cities who maintained law and order everywhere did not show their heads.

Obviously, behind this incident should be the acquiescence of Emperor Zhu Youzhen, so he can't easily break through this bottom line that hurts the innocent. He came to the fence and looked closely, who could the old man be if he wasn't Li Shi?

It turned out that Li Shiwen didn't go home, and he used this trick to force him back.

"Lord Li, don't come unharmed?" After Li Xin said this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to open the gate of the smaller number one and let him in.

After Li Shiwen came in, he angrily found that several cauldrons had been erected in front of the originally neat and neat house, firewood and garbage were piled all over the ground, and the land on the road that had been stepped on was also turned up, as if it had been paved again. What made him even more angry was that the courtyard wall and the black lacquer gate were painted with white and gray characters, and if you looked closely at the crooked handwriting, it was actually "debt repayment"!

Li Shi's blood was surging, he had seen Li Xin in the court a few times before, but it was the first time that he had a face-to-face conversation like this.

"You, how are you going?"

The "enemy" was very red when he met, and Lu Jiu suffered a big loss under Li Shiwen's men, so naturally he would not let go of the opportunity to ridicule him at this moment.

"Repay the debt, you pay back the money, let's leave immediately!"

Li Shiwen held back the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "The money belongs to the imperial court, and I, Li Shiwen, have no right to give it to each other privately!" ”

"Phew, the money was given to my thirteenth brother by the emperor, and it was robbed by you, an old shameless person, are you embarrassed to say? If you don't pay it back now, our brothers will stay here until you pay it back. Come on, fork this old thing out of Lao Tzu! ”

Li Xin reprimanded: "How can you talk to Lord Li, don't apologize quickly!" ”

Li Shi's toughness could not last, and the crying of the concubine suddenly came from the door. "Master......" After only hearing the word "master", he couldn't speak, and then his ears were full of whining cries. Li Shiwen felt that his heart was about to be broken by the concubine's crying, he was over the age of six, and finally accepted a lovely woman, as if he was the meat on the tip of his heart, he entered the door of his Li family, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance, and shed a tear.

"You, you ......" He pointed at Li Xin for a long time without saying a complete sentence, and the beard on his lips trembled up and down.

Li Xin didn't force him either, and sighed.

"Master Li, why is this difficult, you also have to understand Li Xin's hardships, brothers have been born and died for several months, Li Xin always has to give them an explanation, as long as you pay back the money, Li Xin promises to restore this alley as before!"

"Does General Li know that the Beijing camp is no longer able to pay military salaries? This 100,000 taels is life-saving money! ”

Li Xin secretly scolded, who is the old thing deceiving, Zhu Youzhen's internal money has tens of millions of taels of silver, you say that you can't pay military salaries, you can't be like this, what kind of hero is picking up soft persimmons and pinching them! He really wronged Li Shi and asked, before the household department received the 100,000 taels of silver, there was indeed no money, otherwise how could he lie on the ground and roll around to grab the silver? And the emperor's internal funds, he can't even give out a penny.

Now, all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, waiting for money everywhere, and Li Shiwen has no choice. Seeing that Li Xin was resolute and would not withdraw his troops if he did not repay the money, he sighed secretly, so he had no choice but to take the last resort.

"Please meet in the general's tent!" Li Shi asked a tent set up next to his finger, and the confidentiality of this matter must not be leaked.

Li Xin agreed to his request and then entered the account. I saw Li Shiwen standing in the tent and was silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he took out a stack of documents from his arms and handed them to him.

"This is a blank confession of ten military attachés below the fifth grade, how about exchanging your 100,000 taels of silver?"
