Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 109
The whole restaurant fell silent, and there was a tense atmosphere.

The shopkeeper suddenly said to the others in Turkic dialect: "These Han dogs beat me, you go and call someone, don't let them run away."

One of the guys sneaked out.

Ma Xiandeng didn't understand Turkic, and he didn't notice the guy who left.

The situation of other people is similar to that of Ma Xiandeng.

Li Yun sneered, and then ordered several soldiers to go out and call for someone.

Ma Xiandeng then asked: "Where are the Persians who ate in your restaurant before? Where are they?"

"Persians, I don't know, when will there be Persians here?"

The shopkeeper continued to pretend to be stupid. He lowered his head while talking, his eyes gleaming with resentment.

Ma Xiandeng was furious, and slapped several times in a row, "During the investigation, you clearly said that there were Persians over for dinner, but now you say no, are you kidding us?"

The shopkeeper covered his face, and the resentment grew stronger in his eyes.

"My lord, it's really not. You must have heard it wrong, or we said it wrong."

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes outside, and a group of Tang cavalry galloped.

Although there were only a few hundred soldiers, they ran with the momentum of thousands of troops, and the businessmen from the western regions left and right dispersed one after another, and the Turkic people who were gathering also gradually dispersed.

These soldiers belonged to Li Yun, and they were all cavalry led by the tenth commander of the Eastern Palace.

When the shopkeeper saw him, his eyes were full of horror. He realized that the person who questioned him this time was not just an ordinary head catcher.

Li Yun glanced at the shopkeeper, and said to Ma Xiandeng: "This man just sent his men out and wanted to call the merchants from the Western Regions to block us, so I sent the cavalry from the Eastern Palace over."

Ma Xiandeng had long heard that Li Yun knew Turkic, so he believed Li Yun's words, and he was even more angry. Then he raised his hand and slapped the shopkeeper like a pig's head.

"You dog, you dare to plot against me in Chang'an, you are really tired of working."

"I said, I said... I dare not, my lord, I said."

As soon as the shopkeeper saw the cavalry, he was scared and was about to tell the whole story, but Li Yun obviously didn't give him this chance.

At this time, being beaten into a pig's head, I finally knew how to be afraid.

"Just the day before yesterday, there were a few Persians eating here. I know them. They are also from Changxinfang. They live in the Fang District, and they should not be far from my place."

"My lord, I can ask the man to lead you there."

"I swear, I'm telling the truth this time. I have infinite respect for Datang."

Li Yun didn't bother to pay attention to the man from the Western Regions, so he led the people and followed his buddies to the square area.

"My lord, that house is rented by Persians. These Persians are actually poor. When they go to our restaurant, they always order the cheapest things, and they only eat two meals a day."

The guy looked contemptuous, as if being in the company of the Persians was a very shameful thing.

Li Yun nodded, and then asked the soldiers to knock on the door. After a while, he entered the courtyard friendly.

There are a total of six Persians living here, all of them are young men, and the oldest is only in his thirties.

But it can be seen that these people do not have much money.

Their faces were ashen, their eyes were cloudy and dazed, and they didn't have the aura that ordinary people should have at all.

After some negotiation, Li Yun realized that these Persians were just ordinary Persian businessmen who rushed to Datang, but they didn't have enough money to go back to Persia.

They are unwilling to do hard work, so now they can only persevere.

Li Yun nodded, and then asked, "Do you know that there are fellow villagers in Chang'an? People from Persian nobles?"

The six men looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "My lord, we don't know, we just arrived in Chang'an, and we don't know about the Persian circle in Chang'an."

Another person thought for a while and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have one thing to remind you. In fact, the status gap between merchants and nobles in Persia is very large, and the two sides rarely meet."

"If the person you are looking for is a businessman, then go to the businessman's circle."

"If you're looking for nobles, go to the circle of nobles."

Li Yun understood what this person meant, nodded and left.

He then led people to continue wandering around Changxinfang, but found nothing.

……

Li Yun returned to the East Palace, and then met Xiao Yu.

Compared with the last time we met, Xiao Yu seemed much calmer this time.

Li Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Song is good. I don't know why Mr. Song is here."

Because there were almost no clues, Li Yun and the others could only search for information about the Persians in Chang'an City like a needle in a haystack.

But the success rate is too low. In fact, they only found the six poor Persian boys in Changxinfang, and did not find any Persian nobles.

In later generations, many foreigners from Africa will pretend to be old Americans or old Europeans to deceive girls.

Although the possibility of this age is not high, it cannot be completely ruled out, in case the Persian nobleman Xiao Mei talked about is actually lying to her.

Then Li Yun's search direction was completely wrong.

Nothing was found, Li Yun was too lazy to go to Song Guogong's mansion to bother others, after all, there was no good news, so what is there to say?
Xiao Yu nodded, and then slowly said: "Your Highness, you actually know Xiao Mei."

"Oh, I recognize her. Is she the Xiao family girl who was assassinated before?"

"Your Highness is right, that is my granddaughter."

Li Yun sighed in his heart, and then said: "In this way, Xiao Mei is also my friend. Don't worry, Song Guogong, I will try my best to rescue Miss Xiao."

Xiao Yu nodded. He thought for a while and said, "Xiao Mei was very happy during the few days she spent with His Highness. If I hadn't stopped her, she might already be His Highness's person."

Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, and when he realized it, Xiao Yu had already got up and left.

Li Yun did not resent Xiao Yu. In fact, although he had small thoughts about Xiao Mei, it was not to the point where he had to marry her.

He would never openly do something against his will because of a woman.

There are many important things in his life, and picking up girls is just one of the less important things.

Xiao Yu left, and he didn't say anything about Xiao Mei's other situation. It seemed that he just came to inform Li Yun, so that Li Yun had a new view on his relationship with Xiao Mei.

Li Yun smiled and didn't care, but after an hour, he thought about it for a long time, and always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it carefully.

Such a flash of inspiration is actually very difficult to catch, but if you relax, maybe at some point, it will pop up by itself.

Li Yun's situation was like this, the moon climbed into the sky, and when he lay down to sleep, his brain suddenly reappeared the inspiration of the day, and he finally knew where to look for Xiao Mei tomorrow.
