Chapter 160 Rolling in the Cave
"Chumo, take the warrant given to me by His Majesty, immediately go to Zhechong Mansion to shake people, find out their lair and drive the army over!

Your Majesty has given me the right to act cheaply, and I have the right to not use it, and it will become invalid after the expiration date! "

Cheng Chumo took the gold medal from Li Xiao, found a horse in the stables, and whipped away!

Li Xiao looked at it and nodded in satisfaction. This is the performance of a living person. It's not like Qin Huaiyu, it's not sincere at all!
It's just that someone has to be sent to tell Cheng Chu where the silent trial is. If it's smarter, just lead the army to kill it, how convenient and fast?
Forget it, you can't ask for too much!
Rescuing the wounded and cleaning up the warehouse, the subordinates were very busy.

Li Xiao looked at the corpses lying in a row, and felt pain in his heart. They are all good brothers. When killing the enemy, no one flinched, and no one was soft-hearted.

These are all young and strong in Zhuangzi, how should we face the families of these victims when we return to Zhuangzi, "Go buy some high-quality coffins, then arrange for people to perform rituals, and then transport them back to Chang'an and bury them in peace!"

The subordinate was a little hesitant, and said with difficulty, "My lord, in this weather, I'm afraid it will stink if I can't reach Chang'an. Once there is a plague, it will be troublesome."

"Use ice cubes, does Xinyi Commercial Bank have few ice cubes?" Li Xiao glanced at the subordinates beside him, "I don't need to teach you how to store them?"

Seeing that the lord was a little angry, the subordinates did not dare to speak any more, and they were even more devoted to the lord in their hearts. After all, if a person died, who would not be burned on the spot.

Even if it is transported back to the hometown, it is just a cup of soil, or just a dress. Like Sir Alex, it is preserved in ice cubes and transported back to Chang'an for thousands of miles. Only after the death of the emperor can he enjoy this kind of treatment!

At this time, the servants came to report, and someone asked to see Lord Li.

Li Xiao was very surprised. No outsider knew that he was here, and acquaintances would not ask to see him!

Outside the warehouse, Young Yin of the Yangzhou Prefecture, that is, the magistrate Cui Zhenfang, dismissed his entourage and stood alone outside the gate waiting.

Master Cui has been conscientious and conscientious in his work since he was elected in the previous court, and he has never made a single mistake. He has served in many places and achieved outstanding achievements. Unfortunately, he has been an official for [-] years, and he is still in a position below the fourth rank.

He no longer has much passion to work hard in the officialdom, and he is nearly fifty years old, and he doesn't have that kind of thought anymore. The only requirement is that no accidents, let alone major ones.

But since the last transfer to Yangzhou, life has been difficult.

In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the economic, cultural and political center, while the south had the reputation of "Yang Yi Yi Er", which means that Yangzhou's economy ranks first in the south, and Yizhou ranks second!

Yangzhou is the center of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many powerful people, and even more rich people.

So after Mr. Cui came to work in Yangzhou, he basically grew up in the cracks. No one can afford to offend. Fortunately, the 30 years of experience are not in vain. Mr. Cui has managed the relationship between all parties so far that he can't achieve results. But no mistakes.

But something went wrong this morning, and it was a big problem!

When I went to Beijing to report on my duties last year, the sudden emergence of Xinyi Trading Company would definitely catch everyone's attention. I didn't even want to know about it. The streets were full of discussions about Xinyi Trading Company, Cyclamen, and auctions!

Mrs. Cui Zhenfang was fortunate enough to be in Cyclamen, and saw the demeanor of Lord Li from afar. When he brought the Xinyi Trading Company to Yangzhou City, Mrs. Cui immediately ordered his subordinates to pay attention and not to treat him as a small businessman.

This morning, when Master Cui was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, he was woken up by his subordinates, saying that something happened in the southern suburb warehouse of Xinyi Commercial Bank.

Before he could get dressed, someone came to report the property under the name of Xinyi Trading Company in the city, and all the employees were mobilized and gathered towards the southern suburbs!

Cui Zhenfang realized that there was a big problem!
On the way, I found out that Lord Li was actually in the warehouse. When he arrived in a hurry, the warehouse was already quiet, and Cui Zhenfang, who was worried, could only go forward and report to see him.

Without much effort, Cui Zhenfang was invited in by servants.

In the warehouse yard, blood was scattered, and the servants were sweeping and cleaning up the mess.

There was a disgusting smell of blood in front of the wind, and Cui Zhenfang couldn't hold it back until her face turned red.

"Cui Zhenfang, Young Master of the Yangzhou Prefecture, please pay my respects to my lord!"

Master Cui looked serious and stepped forward to salute.

"Master Cui, you're welcome!" Li Xiao said indifferently.

Cui Zhenfang saw that Li Xiao's face was not looking good, and hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"Your Majesty, it was the lower officials who made mistakes in governing Yangzhou and were unable to clearly detect the bandits, which shocked the Lord, and the lower officials were convicted!"

Li Xiao looked at Master Cui, who was cautious and cautious, with gray beard and hair, he was still so careful in the officialdom, and he had been an official all his life, what's so good about it?
Li Xiao just had a serious expression because the smell of blood in the yard was too heavy, so Master Cui immediately apologized and confessed his crime, it was too bureaucratic!
"Okay, Mr. Cui, you are welcome. I am a county baron. What are you doing in front of me when you are convicted? People think I am playing an official role!"

Seeing Li Xiao's expression eased, Cui Zhenfang breathed a sigh of relief. The youngest lord in the dynasty seemed to be easy to talk to.

Then he shook his head, looking at the blood all over the floor, and the pieces of meat that hadn't been cleaned up in time, the big man has nothing to say!It's better to be careful yourself!

"Young Lord came to Yangzhou for the first time, and the officials have not fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, why not."

"Oh, no need." Li Xiao waved his hands again and again, this pile of bad things is waiting to be resolved by himself, who cares about eating your meal?

"There is no need to be so polite. I came to Yangzhou because of business. If there is any official contact, I must meet Master Cui immediately!"

Cui Zhenfang rolled her eyes, absorbing important news, because of business?
No, don't be in a hurry, you have to ask more details, otherwise the horse's ass will be slapped on the horse's leg, and it will stink!

Cui Zhenfang immediately patted her chest and said again and again, "Dare to ask Sir what kind of business it is, but if you have a request, I will do it right away!"

Li Xiao looked at this old boy's excitement, with me, you can't get what you want, and if you want to flatter, you are looking for the wrong person. Besides business matters, the Zheng family is about to fall, so why do you need you?

Even Fang Xuanling can't solve it, but you can solve it, so he can't hang himself?
"I'm fine." A question suddenly popped into Li Xiao's mind, that is, Yangzhou is located by the canal, with many docks and warehouses.

But because of this, everyone unloaded goods anywhere, and then transported them away by themselves. Later, with the increase of water transport in the canal, the imperial court paid more attention to it, and allocated some existing docks as docks to prevent businessmen from tax evasion and smuggling!
Over time, although roads and warehouses have been opened up, once there are too many goods, they are often crowded!
