Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Wang Zhao and Liu Li were just his vassals, and they were not devoted to him.

So when it comes to doing things, you won't go all out.

He entrusted them with this relatively simple task, while he focused on dealing with Yuanwai Li.

Somewhere, he had an intuition that Li Yuanwai was about to take the initiative to attack!

……

Wang Zhao and Liu Li took Cui Jin's order and walked the streets with their guards.

"Do you think Brother Cui has become obsessed? This Li Yuanwai is a businessman, and his relative is just a doctor in the household department."

"I really don't know what to be afraid of. Now there is a problem with the household department, and all officials above the sixth rank are forced into Dali Temple for interrogation."

"His uncle is the Minister of Dali Temple. This man can't come out at all. His Majesty is still sick. Isn't this just unnecessary?"

Wang Zhao complained that he had just taken a concubine these days, and he was still waiting to go home and love her.

It's okay to go to the street to patrol, and they are officials of the government office.

Liu Li patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:

"We also rely on him to be as comfortable as we are today. We just do what he says."

"Besides, do you think this matter is the same as before? I heard that a whole 50 taels of silver was lost!"

Hearing this number, Wang Zhao was a little surprised, but that was all, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Isn't it just 50 taels? When you're about to be found out, you can just make up the money. Let alone the Cui family, even our two families can come up with so much."

Liu Li glanced at Wang Zhao, and shook his head secretly in his heart, this is not a matter of money, it is closely related to the survival of the gentry!

For Wang Zhao, Liu Li can also understand that this guy has never been out to see the world since he was a child, and this is in Jizhou and Qinghe.

If the two branches of them were changed to other places, although 50 could be obtained, it would never be so easy.

If Xu Maogong was present at this time, he would probably be very angry when he heard the nonsense of these two yellow-mouthed children.

Throughout the entire Sui Dynasty, most of the people in Liming bent their waists for that bucket of rice.

At the top, it is a normal businessman, and his family property is only a few hundred taels.

The more lucrative business, the thousand taels will come to an end.

The rest are basically linked to the gentry.

Like Li Yuanwai, if he hadn't been born in the noble family.

Someone in the family became an official in the court, and I am afraid that the business will not be able to do such a big business.

Chapter 309 Yang Zhao and his party are being targeted

People like Li Yuanwai's family property is only ten thousand taels.

Further up, it is an ordinary gentry, with a family property of more than [-].

But most of them still need to be used for 'filial piety' to officials at home.

If the family property is more than [-] yuan and less than one million yuan, it is the officials who are officials in the court. Their money is enshrined by those small gentry.

With backgrounds like Qinghe Cui's, the number is relatively small.

Because someone in the family holds several positions in the court and has a lot of power, plus the family inheritance, most officials in the court will try their best to make friends.

Similarly, the gentry behind those officials are also good at building relationships.

In this way, it is a win-win situation for everyone.

It can be seen that, in fact, from the perspective of the entire Sui Dynasty, most of the money was in the hands of the gentry.

It can be said that even the current saint Yang Zhao is not as rich as them.

The national treasury may not be empty, the only stumbling block is these gentry.

The reason why Yang Zhao destroyed the gentry basically stemmed from this.

As long as there are nobles for one day, the polarization in this world will become more and more serious.

Those who are rich are too rich, and those who have no money will only get poorer and poorer.

"Huh? Brother Wang, look at those people, don't they look very ugly?"

Just when Liu Li was about to say something, he suddenly saw a few richly dressed men on the side of the street.

"It looks like it should be a son of some kind, but I've never seen it before."

Wang Zhao followed his gaze and thought about it for a moment, but he didn't think that there was such a person in Qinghe.

"Could it be someone from a nearby family?"

Liu Li made some guesses. After all, Qinghe River is very big, so it's normal to see one in a county.

Wang Zhao glanced at it and shook his head:

"Impossible. If this person is from Qinghe County, we will definitely recognize him."

Liu Li asked curiously:

"Oh? How can you see it?"

Wang Zhao let out a hey and said:

"Look, Brother Liu, that Young Master is wearing a brocade robe with a dark purple cloud pattern, and a golden belt with a dark gold thunder pattern around his waist. It's just for this outfit. It's not something that ordinary family members can afford."

Seeing Liu Li's admiring eyes, Wang Zhao said more proudly:

"This person not only has an unusual background, but also has a very high status in the family. However, although the people around him are dressed luxuriously, they are inferior in temperament. I don't know where they came from."

Wang Zhao frowned, while Liu Li said:

"Those people are guards."

"Guards in disguise."

Wang Zhao was even more puzzled. He was good at clothes, but it didn't mean he knew how to judge people.

Liu Li explained:

"Three of them are walking steadily, obviously they are Lian Jiazi, but there are two more with slightly arched bodies. This is to prevent accidents at any time, so that they can be dealt with in time."

"Although there is another person who is also a son of the Lian family, he should be the leader of those two. It is not easy to only act in critical situations."

Wang Zhao looked at Wei Zheng and asked:

"Then what about this person, didn't you say he was also a guard?"

Liu Li smiled and shook his head:

"This man has also practiced some boxing skills and some basic skills, but his eyes are like gods, he should be the generation who makes plans. This battle is not easy."

Under the observation of the two, Yang Zhao and his party were guessed a lot.

Wang Zhaoben wanted to ask the young people in charge, but time was running out, seeing that they were about to disappear from sight, he immediately waved his hands and wanted to catch up.

"Wait a minute, Brother Wang!"

Liu Li grabbed Wang Zhao and whispered:

"We still have to obey Brother Cui's instructions, so we need to pay more attention to the appearance."

Wang Zhao was puzzled.

"Yes, so we have to keep up, otherwise what should we do if we run away?"

Liu Li shook his head and explained:

"At this critical moment, no matter whether these people have anything to do with this matter or not, we cannot expose them."

"Once they come forward to talk to them, they will know they are being targeted. If they have ghosts in their hearts, they will be cautious in their next actions. It will be difficult for us to catch the loopholes."

Wang Zhao reacted quickly and gave Liu Li a thumbs up.

"So let's send two people to watch their movements first, go back and report to Brother Cui, and follow up with the command?"

Liu Li nodded, and the two immediately sent two guards, a total of four guards, to follow Yang Zhao and the others.

They themselves returned to the Cui Mansion and wanted to report this matter to Cui Jin.

In fact, Liu Li had selfish intentions. Both he and Wang Zhao felt that these people should have nothing to do with each other.

But he had another plan, one, a plan to get out.

……

On the other side, Yang Zhao took the lead walking down the street, Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong were half a step behind, and Su Wei and Pei Ju followed behind.

At this moment, Su Wei suddenly stepped forward, side by side with Yang Zhao, and whispered:

"My lord, we are being targeted."

Yang Zhao nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"It's okay, don't be alarmed, find an inn, and live in it first."

Several people lived in the best restaurant in Tobu City County.

The guards following behind looked at each other.

"You go back and report to the young master, I will continue to guard."

"it is good!"

In the Tianzi room.

Su Wei stuck to the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The four sat down, Pei Ju frowned:

"My lord, we are probably being targeted by people from the Cui Mansion."

For them, this is not a good thing. So far, there is still no news about Li Yuanwai.

Being targeted by the Cui Mansion at this time, it will be inconvenient to act in the future.

Yang Zhao was not surprised at all:

"As expected."

He thought it would be strange if the Cui Mansion hadn't found out that they had been strolling around the streets swaggeringly for so many days.

He even felt that the Cui Mansion's actions were too slow, and it was only now that they found their traces.

"Why is this? We have always acted in a low-key manner. Although Tobu City is small, there are countless merchants passing by every day, so why not keep an eye on us?"

Su Wei stood by the door. He felt that his whereabouts these two days had been very secretive, and he shouldn't be discovered.

Regarding this, Wei Zheng was the first to say:

"Your Majesty has disappeared in the court for more than half a month. Cui Rong and others must have some guesses in their hearts. At this time, the Cui Mansion must have received the information."

"Haven't you noticed that there are more guards on the street today?"

Pei Ju was shocked.

"That means, Cui Rong has discovered that His Majesty is not in the palace, aren't we in danger?"

Xu Maogong laughed:

"It's just a suspicion. He can't be sure if he doesn't see His Majesty with his own eyes. This time, at most, he is telling them to be careful, and that's all."

After finishing speaking, Xu Maogong looked at Yang Zhao and asked:

"My lord, what shall we do next?"

Several people all looked at Yang Zhao in unison. Now that they are being targeted, it is almost impossible to move an inch. Once they show their feet, they will definitely be exposed.

There is still no news from Li Yuanwai, and their difficulty has increased again.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhao just smiled faintly:

"Don't worry, since you can't find it, then don't look for it."

"The Cui Mansion has spent so much manpower and time, but they still haven't found Mr. Li. Just relying on the few of us, it's illusory."
