Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

In this regard, Li Wenbin expressed his understanding.

If it were him, he would probably make the same decision.

After sending off Li Shimin and his eldest grandson, Li Wenbin turned his head and saw Gao Chief kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, it's a master, he's too reckless to put you in danger, he really deserves to die."
As he said that, Gao Chief kowtowed five times in a row, each with a bang.

"Get up quickly, what are you doing here? I believe that the master is not an internal response, but I just let him avoid the limelight. In fact, that's fine."
"My lord, I'm not pleading for the master. Although he is my own younger brother, he is so wrong in this matter that even I want to kill him!"
What Gao Chief said was gnashing his teeth, obviously hating his younger brother's actions.

After pacifying him a few more words, Gao Chief was persuaded to leave—the military training on the school field behind the Eastern Palace has never stopped. It is said that Li Shimin is also very interested in this training method now, and it is said that it will be extended to the sixteen guards to go.

……

The news that the King of Qin was assassinated by an assassin with a crossbow quickly spread throughout Chang'an. Those who hated Li Wenbin said that the assassin was better than him, so they must aim a little better next time.

After the ordinary people figured out the situation, they began to gather at the gate of Prince Qin's mansion every day to pray for Li Wenbin's birthday.

As soon as Li Wenbin went out, he was almost taken aback. The gate was so smoky, and there were so many people kneeling there muttering words. Those who didn't know thought they were cultivating immortals.

He wanted to meet the people, say a few words, and show his closeness to the people, but he was persuaded by Xi Junmai and Su Dingfang.

Knowing that Li Wenbin was assassinated, these two people were almost scared to death—their future is tied to Li Wenbin, if something really happened to this master, then Xi Junmai and Su Dingfang didn't cry to death place to cry.

Ever since, the two of them took over Li Wenbin's security duties.

Now every time Li Wenbin goes out, he is protected by 300 guards of Prince Qin's Palace, and there are 3000 strong cavalry patrolling around - these [-] strong cavalry can easily destroy [-] cavalry and [-] infantry battle formations, but in the end When it is used here, Li Wenbin can't help but laugh.

In short, his personal safety has been put first - if ordinary princes dare to use this kind of battle when traveling, there will be overwhelming impeachment memorials all over Li Shimin's imperial case the next day.

But this time it was Li Shimin's special request, even if Li Wenbin didn't want it.

Don't talk about going out, he is going out now, and there is a squad of Qin Palace guards outside the hut.

……

"Hey, when will this kind of life last?"
Li Wenbin, who was like a prisoner, wailed.

"My lord, don't be angry, just wait until the assassin catches you."
The considerate Ruyue gently advised Li Wenbin, which made Li Wenbin feel better.

"By the way, how is the food price in Chang'an City?"
"My lord, now the price of food has started to plummet." Cui Yan replied, "As you said, the more it falls, the less people will buy it."
"Now those rich merchants hoarding grain at high prices don't know what to do. They are reluctant to sell it, and they are afraid that it will continue to fall tomorrow if they don't sell it."
"Now the city guards can fish out corpses from the moat outside the city every day. It is said that those merchants who lost their fortunes committed suicide by jumping into the river."
"My lord, you are really powerful, but in just a few days, the price of grain has almost returned to the original price. Now the common people in Chang'an City say that you are the Buddha of all families."
"Hey, it's nothing, it's very simple, it doesn't take any brains at all. By the way, how is the Cui family?"
"A few days ago, they were still dying. They used the money supported by the family to buy food in a big way, trying to raise the price of food, but now they can't stand it anymore and start selling food."
"The concubine estimates that the Cui family will have to pay at least one million yuan this time, but it will hurt the muscles and bones!"
"Good guy, these aristocratic families are hurting their muscles and bones after only losing a million coins? I thought I could squeeze out 500 to [-] million from them."
Cui Yan was speechless for a while: "My lord, you still think too highly of these aristocratic families. This is not the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the former Sui Dynasty. The Cui family has already exceeded my concubine's expectations by giving out millions of coins. Fortunately, the potato The output is really astonishing, otherwise they might really raise the price of food."
"Although the aristocratic family is rich, most of them are land and other industries that cannot be converted quickly. Although the other families are different, the situation is similar."
Li Wenbin pinched his chin and understood: This time, Boling Cui's working capital was almost drained, and their property in Chang'an was almost wiped out. It is said that there are still nearly 30 loan sharks that have not been repaid.

Those loan sharks don't care what kind of family you are, they are a bunch of desperadoes-the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, and the hard ones are afraid of death.

And these desperadoes are desperate, if the Boling Cui family dare not pay back the money, then they must be mentally prepared to see who survives whom.

It's all good news, the only bad news is that there is an assassin, so that he can't even leave his house casually.

Li Wenbin was sighing, Qin Qiong came and brought good news.

Found the way for the eight-ox crossbow to flow out!
Under the protection of heavy soldiers, Li Wenbin and Qin Qiong came to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

A big man was hanging in the dark and damp torture room. He was already covered in bruises, and his body was covered with traces of torture.

"This is the leader of the largest ranger gang in Chang'an, and he has admitted that the Ba Niu was sold from him."
Qin Qiong introduced lightly that he didn't mention the big man's name at all, because to him, it didn't make much sense to call this kind of person a cat or a dog.

It was Xi Junmai who recognized it after careful identification: "Chu Da Chong, it's you."
Seeing Li Wenbin's questioning gaze, Xi Junmai introduced: "I have met this person before, and he wanted me to follow him, but I refused."
"why?"
"Although there are many knights under him, they are all a group of desperadoes who dare to do anything. They have different ways and do not conspire with each other."
Li Wenbin nodded, and asked Chu Dachong, "Who bought the eight-ox crossbow from you?"
"It's... a young man. He doesn't look like he's wearing a mask, with only a pair of eyes showing from his whole body."
"How much did you sell the eight-ox crossbow for?"
"Three hundred... 300 taels of gold."
As for where Chu Dachong's eight-ox crossbow came from, I have already asked clearly. It was made from the frontier army. It was damaged in name and was destroyed by melting.

Li Wenbin sighed, he knew that many people would die this time.
