Crown Tang emperor

"There is a lot of force in the club, and it is still a bit difficult to get close to those rich and noble families. But there are many servants in the club, but we need to be more careful in contact..."

Tian Shaoan explained carefully.

"There is no big mistake in being cautious. It is not a quick success to watch these few families. Set up your eyes and ears calmly, and be careful not to show any traces."

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words. He also understood that this was not an excuse. Most of these nobles from Guanlong had been operating in Guanzhong for hundreds of years. Core secrets.

Arranging eyes and ears right now is not for immediate action.His grandfather Li Zhi took care of his eldest grandson Wuji, and it took ten years.It is not easy to shake the foundation of these Guanlong clans. The current arrangement is still because of the existence of his grandma, a super thug, and he can pick up some leftovers after following, which already makes him very satisfied.

"However, it's not that nothing has been gained. Among the several families, the Dou family is the most powerful, and the king has also given important instructions. Today, I have contacted several former righteous men in several houses of the Dou family, and each has something to tell."

Tian Shao'an continued: "One of the old righteous men reported an evil deed by a high-ranking family. In a Dou family business in Qinrenfang, a child was beaten to death. It is said that the commoner who was privately raised in the house of the owner was killed. Recalling the gate of the house, but angered the mistress, and made people kill him in court."

While talking, Tian Shao'an sighed again: "The gate is so big, even a two-foot child can't fit in it, and after being beaten, it will be buried in a barren mound outside the house, and the flesh and blood will not treat it kindly..."

When Li Tong heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he asked again: "Which one is it from the Dou family?"

After Tian Shaoan finished answering, Li Tong raised his hand and said to Yang Sixuan, "Go and invite Aunt Mo here."

Yang Sixu led the way out, and soon after, Master Mo, who was tired but not sleepy, hurried in behind, and asked in a hoarse tone after seeing the ceremony: "I'm calling in the middle of the night, I don't know why the king asked?"

"I remember Aunt Mo mentioned that the assassin Yuzhu had a privately adopted child. How old is it?"

Hearing the young king's question, everyone Mo showed a little unbearable and apprehensive face, but they still replied in a low voice: "The boy is five years old this year. Although he came from Yuzhu, but because the old lady in the hall is too vicious, he dare not He kept it by his side and fostered it at the old craftsman's house in the workshop. He just sent some goods for use every ten months. The doll is cute, and he doesn't know who his aunt is. Your Majesty, Your Majesty asks this..."

"Don't worry, ma'am, that whore wanted to harm me, but she died too. I won't hunt down and kill a little baby."

Li Tong knew what everyone was worried about, laughed, and then asked Tian Shaoan: "Is the boy still alive?"

"The servant was only in the garden to receive news. I really don't know the details. The reporter just said that the boy was seriously injured and was dragged out of the house to be buried. The victim couldn't bear it so he replaced it with a sack and hid the boy. Is he still alive now?" I don't know."

Hearing Tian Shao'an's answer, Li Tong pondered for a while and then said: "Message tomorrow morning, if he is still alive, give up some money to save his life. If he can't die, choose a good family and a poor family to adopt, let's end the past and start a new life for the rest of his life." .”

When everyone Mo heard these words, they were a little confused, so they couldn't help but said again: "Dare to ask the king, what happened to that little baby..."

"Oh, speaking of it, it's just a tragedy of humanity. I was curious at first, how can I make that prostitute kill me regardless of herself, so that's how it is."

Li Tong was in a complicated mood, he sighed and explained the matter briefly.Although he knows one-sidedly, it is not difficult to make up the logic of the matter.The prostitute desperately wants to seek a better future for her child, but even if she dies, she can't get a little kindness from the world, and almost kills her child.

There are all kinds of people with different temperaments. Some people wish to suck blood and eat flesh for the sake of power and flesh and blood. Some people throw their lives lightly for the sake of their children.The quality of character has never been determined by high or low birth.

He admired that prostitute, but even if things happened again, she would definitely not save her life.The so-called tolerance is just a luxury emotion when people are in a calm situation.If the little boy is tough enough, Li Tong would be happy to see him live out the rest of his life in peace.

"This Yuzhu is really stupid, really stupid...Xun Yu has different weapons, how can she be a child born of a slut, how can she be tolerated by a noble family!"

Everyone Mo's eyes turned red immediately after listening to it, and they gritted their teeth, not knowing whether they were scolding the whore for being naive or secretly hating the high family for being ruthless.

She stood up from the banquet, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is benevolent and willing to spare the life of that criminal. If the concubine dares to ask again, if the child can not die, can I be adopted by the concubine? Please rest assured, the concubine. I won't let him get caught up in the past again, and be reborn as the queen!"

Li Tong couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then everyone Mo continued to cry: "I used to have a friend who went far away to fight Liao, and I have never seen him since. I don't know why I am living in this life. Please raise an orphan and look forward to it." Being able to be the heir of a poor man will not lead to a wandering soul without food..."

"Aunt Mo is really a righteous person."

Li Tong knew that Master Mo had donated a lot of money to the heroes of the old clothing club, and he had a respect for him in his heart, and he did not look down on him because of his status. Aunt Mo went out of the garden to meet the boy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you..."

When everyone heard this, they kowtowed again and again.

Li Tong felt that he was ashamed, so he avoided the table and sent everyone Mo away.

He watched everyone Mo's figures disappear into the night, and stood on the porch for a while, then turned his gaze to the west, and frowned immediately: "There are also people playing in Tongjifang? Why is the fire so bright?"

"Jian'an King's Mansion is located in Tongjifang!"

Tian Shaoan replied subconsciously after hearing this.

Hearing this, Li Tong's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly turned around and rushed to the height of the attic, and then looked west, only to see that the fire in the west square was even more dazzling, and then he couldn't help but smile, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Warning , warning!"

While speaking, he quickly rushed down to the attic, returned downstairs to put on a leather soft armor, and quickly whispered to Tian Shaoan, telling him to send out the pawns prepared in the garden to pass the time when the garden was warning of disturbances. information.

"Your Majesty wants to go out?"

Tang Lingshu, who had already slept in the inner room, got up now, changed into a riding outfit, held a dagger in his hand and said, "I want to follow the king!"

Li Tong raised his hand and patted her forehead dotingly: "Then follow closely, let's watch someone suffer this night!"

While speaking, he helped Tang Lingshu fasten the soft leather armor. At this time, the entire cherry orchard was beeping with rapid warning drums, and the disciples were startled.

He didn't rush out of the cherry orchard immediately, but stood in front of the gate and waited for the guards of the palace to gather here. At the same time, he ordered: "Report the residents of the garden to stay in the house, and arrest anyone who dares to wander around the garden immediately! All the members of the Outer Armor are called into the garden, and if the drums do not stop, they will be punished as a crime! The more the lights are lit, the more wax and oil they add, the more prosperous the better!"

At this moment, the lights of the West Lane had already shot up into the sky, and no one would mistake it for the lights of the feast in the hall.Li Tong looked at the burning fire, and murmured with a smile: "It's really scary!"

Chapter 0269

"My lord, something is wrong, something is wrong..."

In the middle of the night, Wu Youyi fell into a drowsy sleep, and did not hear the shouts of the slaves outside the living room at all. He waited until the slaves rushed outside the screen in the inner room and shouted louder. He woke up suddenly.

After waking up, he was still in a daze, but his heart was already furious, and he went out of the tent naked and shouted: "Get out! How dare you dare to enter the house to mourn!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Hearing the words, the servant hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, and said loudly: "The Nanfang has undergone changes, and the flames are soaring into the sky..."

Wu Youyi was still waiting to step forward and kick the slaves, but after hearing the words, she was shocked and became more sober: "The south square is on fire? Which square? Is it Tongji square?"

"Yes, it's Tongjifang, and, there's also Quchifang, which is burning like fire!"

The slave answered tremblingly, and was kicked away by Wu Youyi, and then heard scolding: "Stupid slave, stupid slave, since there is a fire, why don't you send someone over to put out the fire, come to my room to mourn What's the use!"

Wu Youyi scolded endlessly, grabbed the robe handed over by the maidservant and put it on her body, then rushed out the door, looked south at the night, and saw that half of the night sky was brightly reflected by the flames, her face inevitably became even uglier.

"Already, already dispatched disciples, but I'm afraid the power is not enough, dispatching guards and armored disciples requires a king's talisman..."

The servant came out in a hurry and kowtowed again.

"Let the armored disciples gather in the outer court first!"

Wu Youyi was also a little flustered at the moment, after giving an order, he quickly returned to the room, yelling at people to bring clothes and armor, and hurriedly put them on.

After a long while, he walked out of the room wearing a heavy armor, but after walking a few steps, he beckoned for his family members to come forward to help him.After all, he is no longer young, and he is not Kong Wu himself. He was so happy that he was suddenly awakened in the middle of the night. A whole set of heavy armor was pressed on his body, and his legs and feet were naturally sore and difficult to move.

The house slaves surrounded Wu Youyi and came to the vestibule, where more than [-] soldiers had gathered, each armed with knives and heavy bows and crossbows.

The commander of the army is much calmer than Wu's family slaves. Seeing Wu Youyi appear, he went to the front of the fork hand to report: "My lord, there is a fire in the Nantong Jifang mansion, and the street shop Marquis Wu is gathering people to fight. There is no serious problem in thinking about it. Quchifang is suspected of being invaded by thieves. They beat drums to warn them and called armored disciples into the cherry orchard to defend the king of Hedong. There is no detailed report so far..."

The commander's report was much more orderly. Although there were disturbances in the two workshops, there were naturally people in Tongjifang to organize the firefighting, and there were many troops stationed in Quchifang.

But Wu Youyi was not calm at the moment. After all, the fire in Tongjifang was related to the safety of his own family property. After hearing it, he sneered and said, "There are thieves in Quchifang again? This Hedong King is too capable of provoking evil spirits, let alone him, Prepare your horse quickly and go to Tongjifang!"

Hearing this, the soldier commander opened his mouth to persuade him, but it was the middle of the night, and it was better to be still than to move.Although the two squares have their own messes, they are blocked by the walls of the squares, so they will not spread outside for the time being, and the squares themselves have their own arrangements. It is the safest place to observe the situation and make adjustments here. If the people here in Tongshan Square are dispatched, there will undoubtedly be It terrified the public in the workshop and changed the situation.

But before he could say a word, Wu Youyi had already ordered his disciples to carry him to the door, the commander could only sigh when he saw this, waved his hands and led the soldiers to follow.

Wu Youyi just walked out of the gate of the garden, there are already idle people rushing to this place on the square street, asking what's going on nervously.

"Let them go!"

Supported by his family members, Wu Youyi got on his horse with difficulty, and even more anxiously waved his whip to drive away those people who came forward to pester and inquire, and shouted: "Everyone lives in peace, who dares to take the opportunity to make trouble, kill without pardon !"

While speaking, he had steered his horse towards Fangmen in the south, and on the way he kept ordering the soldiers scattered around to come and gather along the way.

In the process of moving forward, the size of the team continued to expand, and Tongshanfang Xingyuan gradually became chaotic due to the transfer of these soldiers.Recently, there was a rally and teasing. There were already a lot of people staying in Tongshanfang. When the commotion broke out, there were crowds of people everywhere on the street. Everyone looked up in fear, and all parties asked about it.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the team rushed forward to grab Wu Youyi's mount, and said loudly: "It's really not a big deal to make trouble in the two squares. The body of the king's daughter is led by Anwei in Xijing. It's really not suitable for wandering around at night, otherwise everyone Fang has changed, I don’t know where to look for it?”

"Water and fire are ruthless, what kind of trouble is this? If you continue to obstruct things, let the fire spread, and take your dog's head! Pull him away!"

Wu Youyi was concerned about his family's wealth, and when he saw this, he was furious. He beat the soldier with a whip and ordered him to move on.

But when he walked to the Nanfang Gate, he saw that there were already chaotic crowds gathered around the Fangmen, Wu Yaba couldn't see the road at all, and all kinds of chaotic voices made the environment extremely noisy.

Seeing this scene, Wu Youyi couldn't help feeling a little flustered, he stopped short, and ordered the soldiers to come forward and try to drive away the wandering people.But at the moment the crowd was in panic, although the people were driven away in shock, they did not disperse, and still gathered around the gate of the workshop, intending to take the opportunity to escape.

"Quickly call the soldiers from outside the workshop to enter the workshop, and suppress these cowardly rioters!"

In a hurry, there were only a few hundred soldiers around, far inferior to the crowds wandering on the street. Wu Youyi felt that he was a little weak, so he was no longer in a hurry to leave the workshop for a while, so he turned his horse and leaned against the tree on the side of the street , and ordered loudly.

But in this chaotic environment, even if an order is given, it is difficult to ensure rapid delivery.Looking at the flames in the southwest direction, Wu Youyi was naturally full of anxiety, secretly regretting that too many soldiers should have been arranged in Quchifang, so that at this moment, they were intimidated by the rioters and did not dare to leave lightly.

In the midst of anxiety, the gate of Nanfang opened with a bang, and the people were waiting to rush out of the square, but they found that there was an array of armored soldiers outside the square, and there were many torches, shining so coldly that the swords were shining.

"There is no great chaos in the city, it's just that the fire in Linfang has been scattered. The King of Hedong led his people into the workshop to help, and the common people return to the workshop. Otherwise, they will commit crimes at night!"

Following the king's order, Yang Sixu held a huge shield almost the size of a door panel with both hands, and shouted in the street. Behind him were many Xijing soldiers with knives in their hands.

As for the further back, Li Tong was riding on the horse in soft armor, and Tang Lingshu, who was riding beside him, buckled the mask pockets of the Xijing Jia disciples, which seemed a bit nondescript, but at least it was safe.

However, the long street was empty at this moment, and even the residents who had climbed over the wall quickly fled to the distance, no longer gathering at the gate, and there was no danger.

The soldiers outside the square heard the shouts from outside the square, and quickly lined up to shout, and the inside and outside gradually closed, and the people gathered around the gate of the square also walked to various places in the square.

After the two met, Wu Youyi was not in the mood to make fun of the young king's indecent attire, but frowned and asked, "Why is King Hedong here? Didn't thieves break into your garden?"

"Stay home and know what happened before. I have lingering fears. I knew that there was a fire in Xifang, so I naturally took precautions and dared not slack off. I searched the garden to find out that it was a false alarm, but I also thought that there were treacherous people in Xijing. The fire may be man-made. Since it is not my intention, Afraid of being left behind. Worried that there are not enough left behind, so I took the risk to help!"

Li Tong stepped forward and lifted his visor and said, with an expression of worrying about Wu Youyi's safety.

"Good job, good job! King Hedong is really smart and decisive, I really don't have many people here!"

After Wu Youyi heard the words, his face showed a little joy, and then he waved to Li Tong: "For the time being, all the disciples of the king, follow me to Tongjifang to fight the fire!"

"Chaos in the empty square, there is still room to wait, how can you stay behind and get out!"

There are not many residents in Tongjifang, so Li Tong said this. While talking, he looked at the disciples around Wu Youyi and said sharply: "Staying behind is urgent and the people are in danger, and you subordinates dare to let him commit suicide by committing suicide? Chaos in a square It's still a minor illness, if the injury stays behind, it will be a national pain!"

The surrounding soldiers, especially the soldier commander who had been whipped for persuasion before, hurriedly stepped forward and continued to persuade: "Please stay behind and persuade King Shannahedong, the safety and security of the people are concentrated in staying behind, and it is really not allowed to move and take risks! This night's chaos has not yet been verified whether it was man-made or not, but the most important thing today is to stay at home and stay still, the guards on the four sides will strictly guard their posts, and call the cavalry in the city to gather closer to wait for unexpected movements!"

Hearing what the soldier commander said, Li Tong was overjoyed again.This is exactly what he hoped for, and it is indeed the plan for the chaos at the moment, but he is an outsider, so it is a bit abrupt for Wu Youyi to call the cavalry here so clearly, but it is much more normal for his subordinates to say it .

Wu Youyi really didn't have a good idea at the moment. Of course, he was most nervous about the goods he stored in Tongjifang, but after hearing several people's repeated persuasion, he hesitated.

However, after the noise for a while, the flames in the Southwest Tongji Square fainted, and Wu Youyi resentfully said: "Quickly call all the cavalry here to stand by!"

While speaking, he retreated from the crowd around him, and whispered to the young king: "Tongji Fang stored my private goods, it was just out of urgency before, listening to King He Dong's words, it is indeed strange, I am afraid there is someone secretly..."

"It's hard to make a conclusion at this moment. After all, raw hemp is dry and easy to get angry. Right now, the important thing is to go back to the workshop and calm down. If there are any changes tonight, then you really have to think about it carefully!"

Li Tong sighed, and raised his hand to invite Wu Youyi to enter the workshop, while he rode his horse to follow.

In the panic, time always passed very slowly, Wu Youyi didn't go back to the garden in the square, but waited in front of the gate for the assembly of the troops from the other square.Standing among his guards, Li Tong suddenly exclaimed as he watched more and more cavalrymen coming to this place.

"what's up?"

Wu Youyi was also tense at the moment, after hearing this voice, she rushed forward to ask.

"It suddenly occurred to me that if this time is really man-made, then the treachery may not only be intended for private treasury, Xingyuan collects all kinds of goods, I am afraid it is dangerous!"

Wu Youyi was also shocked when he heard the words. If his private treasury was burned, it was just a heartache, and it would be a big deal to find it elsewhere later, not to mention that the Dou family just said during the day that they would give him a lot of numbness.But if the hemp goods already in storage were burned, then it really couldn't be concealed, and he had already sent the relevant performances to the capital of God!

What's more terrible is that the young king's words seemed to be a prophecy, not long after he said it, another fire in the city had risen.

"Yes, it's the Dunhuafang official treasury!"

When Wu Youyi saw the direction of the fire, his hands and feet were already icy cold, and the heavy armor he was wearing all over his body was trembling, and he shouted, "Quick, go to Dunhuafang! Go, go, go!"

While speaking, he even held on to the saddle and was about to get on the horse, but he was so nervous that he stepped on the stirrup several times.Li Tong thoughtfully stepped forward to give him a hand, but he sneered in his heart, hurry up, hurry up, I won't kill you tonight, it's not dawn!

Chapter 0270

Recently, due to Qujiang's teasing, people gathered in the southeast districts. As for other districts in the city, even Dongshi, they became much deserted.

The vicinity of the Free Life Pool in Dongshi City is located in a low-lying area, and there are often cloudy tides, which is not suitable for storing goods. Therefore, although there are some buildings in the surrounding area, few people operate here.

But in Dongshi, where land is very expensive, these houses are not idle. Since they are not suitable for storage, they simply live in them.Of course, most people who are willing to live in such a humid place all the year round are not in a good situation. Except for some small businessmen, most of them are those who work hard.

Therefore, there are a lot of footwork shops near the Free Life Pond, and brown men often live and stay here, waiting to be hired by shops in the city, so there is a lot of fish and dragons in the vicinity, and ordinary people dare not approach them easily.

There are many idlers wandering around here. Some people use homemade net bags to catch fish and turtles released by others who do good deeds during the day in the release pond. People in the city send slaves to buy goods, what they want to do, no one asks.

There is a pedestal shop on the north side of Dongshi City, and there are rows of bamboo and wooden thatched huts. Most of the sitting and sleeping structures are broken, and many people simply sleep on the ground.The smell here is not good, there are many residues of human and animal defecation, mixed with sweat and sludge to form a disgusting putrid smell.

When a person's situation is bad, his temper will inevitably be irritable, so the neighborhood is also full of yelling and fighting in human language, which is very noisy.

But there is such a hut, but it is so quiet that it is suspected to be empty.Occasionally, idlers walked in, but they saw neat linen mats laid out in the hut, and on the linen mats were rows of people sleeping together.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, two strong figures flashed out from behind the shed, without speaking, they just stared at the intruder.This scene really made people feel terrified, and hurriedly turned and exited.

"You still have to be careful, don't be so unconventional. There are many people here in Dongshi. If it is too unusual, it is inevitable that people will spy on it."

Hearing the sound, Yang Xianzong sat up from the hemp felt, saw the situation of the hut, and sighed again: "Everyone is reclined to rest, you are not allowed to be so tidy! Make a noise, pretend to be snoring, Chen Ba, you guys, Go outside the shed to urinate, don't sprinkle soil to cover it up, and don't clean up the grass garden!"

Hearing the order, everyone in the hut lay down on their own sideways, but their postures and widths were the same, which seemed even more weird.
