Two or three days later, a major incident happened in Chang'an City. The common people rumored that it was King Gong Li Boyi who ordered money grabbers to squeeze the merchants in the city, and bought land outside Chang'an City by force. The government, the saint is furious when he hears this!

A few days later, news spread in the palace that Prince Gong Li Boyi had been stripped of his title, taken away from Shiyi, and exiled to Fengzhou.

Ordinary people went in without knowing it, thinking that there was a pest missing in Chang'an City, and many people felt very happy.

The attitude of the family members is very subtle. When things have developed to this point, as long as the big family has a little bit of ability, basically they already know that Prince Gong Li Boyi is the one who bought the murderous night to attack Luo's house that day, and they also know that the emperor and Luo Yong had an interview on this matter, but most people did not expect that this matter would end up like this in the end.

Killing relatives righteously?Those are jokes from playbooks.For people in this era, a family is a family. If you don't even protect your own family, how can you gain a foothold in this world?

Especially the Ninth Five-Year Lord above the court, who is in such a vortex of power. The Li family should have been his reliance and backing, and he should do his best to protect and support him.

It is legal for the current emperor to punish King Gong for the affairs of the Luo family, but it is not very reasonable in this era.

There is even such a clause in the law: "A close relative must hide the prime minister." That is to say, if a close relative violates the law, family members can hide it from each other, and the government will not hold them accountable for the crime. This shows the importance of family affection and family values ​​in this era.

"I underestimated that coffin board." After the news spread, many people in Chang'an City sighed.

In fact, they not only underestimated Luo Yong, but also underestimated Li Shimin.

It has been [-] or [-] years since Li Shimin ascended the throne, and many people have probably forgotten that Li Shimin, the king of Qin who fought with his soldiers to the death, has forgotten that this man is actually a decisive general in his bones. A warrior who dares to lead the way.

In any case, after this incident, the great clans in Chang'an City finally knew more clearly how much Luo Yong was in the eyes of the king, and at the same time re-examined the value of Luo Yong.

The one who reacted the most to this incident was undoubtedly the Li clan. I heard that many people from the clan entered the palace to meet Li Shimin that day.

Needless to say, the emperor must have told them about the absurd thing that Prince Gong did. I can't afford to lose this person, that's why the emperor ordered people to investigate the money transactions of Prince Gong's mansion, and charged him with such a crime.

In the end, even the Li family acquiesced, so let's go into exile. Anyway, Fengzhou is not a dangerous place like Yazhou. Prince Gong did such absurd things, so he should be taught a lesson.

Of course, the main reason why the Li family gave in so easily is because their family was not very powerful in the first place. If the Li family and his son hadn't become emperors, the current aristocratic families would not look down on them at all.In the relationship between the Li clan and Li Shimin, Li Shimin obviously occupies more right to speak.

The city of Chang'an in the first month of this year was also quite turbulent. After King Gong was exiled, the county magistrate of Chang'an wrote a letter to resign.

What happened in the south of the Yangtze River before has now spread in Chang'an City, and the people in the market regard it as a joke. family.

"..."

"I heard that the county magistrate of Qi has resigned."

"Just the family who sells concubines for 500 taels of silver, what good bamboo shoots can they produce?"

"First beat people to death, and then coerce other kind-hearted people to buy it for 500 taels of silver. Pooh, it's really a good deal."

"Don't take women too seriously!"

"When I saw him adjudicating cases like that before, I felt that this person was not good. Now it seems that their Qi family's family style is like this."

"The family tradition is not right, even if there are one or two high-ranking officials in the family, what good is it?"

"..."

The ups and downs outside had no effect on the Luo family siblings. Luo Yong hadn't returned to Chang'an for a long time, and now it was rare to come back, and Si Niang and the others would hang around him whenever they had time.

The siblings are now living in the deep house in the Baifu, and they rarely go out for a walk. Go to school with the little ladies of the Bai family.

Luo Yong came back from outside that day, Si Niang and the others hadn't finished school yet, only Mai Qing was lying listlessly in the yard, so he waved to Mai Qing: "Mai Qing, come here."

"Wang woo..." Mai Qing looked up at him, hummed twice, and didn't move.

"You don't want to come?" Luo Yong fumbled in his sleeve, and found a thin, long red thing: "Are you really not going to come?"

"..." Mai Qing didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"Don't come and pull it." Luo Yong said, biting and tearing the thing, and then sat there and ate it one bite at a time: "I also said that while Qiniang and the others are away, I will give you a bite to eat." Back to eating alone, it’s fine if you don’t eat, I’ll eat by myself.”

"Wow!" Mai Qing's eyes widened, the smell seemed to be a bit special.

"I said don't be too sad, Dou Li'er's temper is much more attractive than yours, it's in the underworld now, Lord Hades is pleasing to the eye, maybe you can make him a **** dog or something Dangdang, you will go down one day, maybe you have to rely on it to cover it, it will be the boss, and you will be a follower." Luo Yong sat on the steps under the porch, chewing ham sausage, while looking at this The big dog thought about it.

"Wow! Wang Wang!" Mai Qing called out.I don't know if it's dissatisfaction with the setting of the follower, or dissatisfaction with Luo biting more than half of the ham in just a few bites.

"Do you want to eat it? Then you don't say it, you see, I have eaten all of this." Luo Yong said, stuffing the last bite of ham sausage into his mouth.

"Wow, woof, woof, woof, woof!" Mai Qing was very annoyed!What kind of broken master is this, so unreliable, didn't you see that it was sad, and it actually ate it all by itself!

"No more, if you say no more, it's gone." Luo Yong fumbled in his sleeve again as he spoke, and sure enough, it was gone. , and then took out another ham sausage from it, and took it out bit by bit like in slow motion: "Hey, why is there another ham here?"

"Wow!" Mai Qing swooped over and threw Luo Yong to the ground.

This girl took the ham sausage in her mouth and walked to the corner next to her, and gnawed it on her stomach. After gnawing it down, she could smell it, and tasted some fragrant and salty taste. She took another bite, it was still the same, and she took another bite. One bite... What kind of oil paper is this, why is it so hard to bite off.

"Bring it here, I'll peel it for you." Luo patted the dust with himself and sat up again, resting his chin to watch the silly dog ​​bite the sausage.

"Wow!" Mai Qing put one paw on the ham sausage, turned her head and barked at Luo Yong, obviously warning him not to play with the ham sausage.

"Tsk, you've already bitten like that, who would eat it?" This is too much to look down on Luo Yong.

"Wow!" Mai Qing obviously didn't believe him, and barked at him twice, and then continued to gnaw on his own, so happy that his big tail flicked up.

Seeing Mai Qing like this, Luo Yong couldn't help laughing too.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since he returned to Chang'an City. Prince Gong has been dealt with, and the county magistrate of Chang'an has also resigned. The Luo family can almost stop. As for other families that may be involved in this matter, For a while, they couldn't move them.

In fact, Luo Yong does not need to touch them for the time being. The emperor is staring at these people at this time. When will he save enough capital, and then rush in and kill him a few times.

In a few days, Luo Yong will go back to Changle County. After all, he is still the magistrate of Changle County.

Although the officials at this time in the Tang Dynasty also had a term of office, the term of office in a remote place like Changle County is often very vague, and the journey is too far away, and no one is willing to go. I worked as a county magistrate in Changle County for many years, and finally settled down there.

Once he went to Changle County this time, Luo Yong didn't know that he would stay there for a few more years. According to his previous thinking, as long as he made political achievements, he should stay for three or four years before he could come back.

The situation is different now. Although Li Shimin has the reputation of being good at accepting advice, he is also quite broad-minded and patient, but he also has a rather narrow-minded side. He is an emperor and has such great power. Thinking about it, I still don't feel very happy. It's not impossible to ask Luo Yong to stay in that frontier for a few more years.

Si Niang and the others, Luo Yong decided to entrust it to the Bai family first. The Bai family was very calm. They are now making progress steadily and plan to win a big one after Li Zhi comes to power.

For a large family with hundreds of years of history, waiting for 20 years does not seem to be a big deal.Luo Yong didn't mention Li Shimin's lifespan to them, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

On the other hand, Zheng Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment wrote a letter in his own hand, asking people to send him back to his family in Xingyang.

Today he ran into Luo Sanlang in Lishi on the street, Luo Sanlang had heard that he had scolded a few boys who uttered wild words because of him, and he seemed to have a good impression of him, so he insisted on buying him a drink Thank you, Zheng Shilang thought about it and agreed.

During the meeting, the two chatted about the current situation in Longxi, the development in the past two years, and what Zheng Shilang's family did to make a living.

The Zheng family in Xingyang is a decent family family, one of the five surnames and seven kings nowadays, the gentry among the gentry, and the big family, but their family's business is mainly some field and factory weaving. The prosperity of these big families Most of what they rely on is the political game of the court.

However, Luo Yong said that without money and silk, it is difficult to go anywhere. This time he returned to Chang'an, and he spent less than a month on it. The Zheng family in Xingyang had to support such a large family, and they had to train young people. The expenses involved in the management of the court are quite considerable.

Don't you see that the ninety-five lords on the dragon couch are all worried about the Kuyin of the household department. If they are not in charge of the family, they don't know how expensive they are.

Hearing Luo Yong's mouth full of money, Zheng Shilang felt a little funny. Among the noble children in Chang'an City, no matter whether they have money or not, none of them are trying to maintain their appearance. Who is like Luo Yong? It's so straightforward.

"Brother Zheng, if you can trust me, why don't you run a few iron mines as soon as possible, and you will definitely be able to make money in the future." Luo Yong said to him when the meal was about to finish.

Zheng Shilang is not stupid either, today he and Luo Yong clearly did not meet by chance, but the other party intends to find him, and at this time he said such words, I don't know if it is to thank him for his righteous words earlier, or because he intends to make friends with him , or both.

For this Luo Yong, apart from other things, he is still very trustworthy in terms of his ability to earn money, so after he returned to his home, he immediately repaired a book and asked someone to send it back to his home.

It's just that there is also a problem that he can't figure out.

Luo Yong asked him to run an iron mine, it must be because he thinks the price of iron can rise, but why can the price of iron rise? It can’t be because of those needle workshops, how much iron can be used by needle workshops...
