Chapter 336: Burn it clean(1/2)
The big pawnshop is located in Jishanfang. After all, it is owned by the Cui family. The Cui family has a big business. Even the pawnshop is huge, occupying an area of dozens of steps. On the entire street, it is almost difficult to see any shops comparable to it.
In the entire Chang'an City, if you want to pawn something, you should choose this big pawn shop because it has a good reputation and is owned by the Cui family, a big family in Shandong. Therefore, although the big pawn shop is just a pawn shop, its reputation is well-known throughout Chang'an City.
.
It's just that the situation in the big pawn shop seems not to be good at this moment. A group of soldiers in black armor surrounded the big pawn shop. In front of the pawn shop, there was a young man with leopard eyes and black cheeks. He was holding a long gun and was extremely powerful.
Seeing that his face was cold and his eyes were shining coldly, he was staring at the big pawn shop. Standing in front of him was a short and fat middle-aged man. It was still very cold in March in Chang'an, but it was such a cold weather.
, but the person in front of him was sweating profusely, with a pair of goldfish eyes, looking around from time to time, as if waiting for something.
"Your Highness Prince Liang, this pawnshop is the property of the father-in-law. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this!" The fat shopkeeper obviously didn't wait for the person he wanted to wait for, so he could only plead with the man in front of him.
After all, the man in front of me is not an ordinary man. Although he is young, he is a member of the royal family, the famous Prince Liang. He is not a small figure who climbed out of the corpse mountain and sea of blood following the emperor today.
What the shopkeeper can compete with may be that when his own master comes, he has to be cautious when he sees the person in front of him.
"In front of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, everyone must abide by it. Not to mention a prince, a prince, or the king, if he commits a crime, he must be punished by the law."
Lu Zhaoying snorted coldly: "I am in charge of the security of the capital. I received a report that a general had stolen the secret and kept it as an object in your shop. In order to take the secret back, I came here to get it. Why do I have to come here to take it back?"
I don’t want to say that you colluded with spies. Do you still want to stop me? You have to think about it. This is a crime that you cannot bear. Even the head of state dare not bear it. Do you want to
Are you leaving trouble for your master? Why don't you get out of the way with me?"
"Your Majesty, if you break in like this, what will happen to the store in the future?" The fat shopkeeper obviously didn't want Lu Zhaoying to lead a large group of people to rush in.
My family knows my own affairs. Although my store sometimes collects dirty goods, I will never collect military secrets. The Liang Prince in front of me wants to search the pawn shop, obviously because of other things, and this matter involves the imperial court.
mid matter.
As a member of the Cui family, I knew in my heart that the head of the Cui family had to know about this thing first. As for Prince Liang, he had to see what the head of the Cui family wanted.
"That's your business. When you collected the dirty goods, you should have understood that today, it's too late to say such things now.
Come, break in and give me a good search."
Lu Zhaoying felt slightly anxious.
Originally he was unwilling to get involved in this, but Lu Ke personally came to visit and told the matter, which immediately surprised him. He didn't expect that there was such a thing here, and Lu Qingyun's courage.
It's so big that it actually left a hand for itself.
He couldn't imagine what would happen once this matter spread, maybe another Li incident would happen.
At that moment, he could not remember Lu Zhaoci's suspicion, so he quickly led a large group of people to surround the pawnshop.
"My lord, my lord."
Cui Mansion's housekeeper looked panicked and broke into the hall. Cui Hongdao frowned. The Cui family was a house of etiquette. How could he allow such a disrespectful thing to exist? His expression suddenly changed.
Zhuan Leng shouted: "What are you doing in such a panic?" "Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Liang led Zuo Yiwei's army to surround the shop. Our people cannot get close to the shop at all."
The housekeeper did not dare to be negligent and quickly described the situation. Fang said, "Sir, what should we do? King Liang is so powerful that he may not be able to stop him.
If this happens, the reputation of our shop will be ruined. How will we make a living in the future?" "Don't panic."
Although Cui Hongdao told his housekeeper not to panic, in fact, he himself was already panicking. What he didn't expect was that Lu Zhaoying actually took action at this time.
After Lu Zhaoying was scolded by Lu Zhaoci, she huddled in the house and did not dare to come out.
Even Zuo Yiwei's army rarely went there. He didn't expect it to appear at this time. He was caught off guard. Unexpectedly, he suddenly got the idea and spotted this big pawn shop. It seemed that
, there are really many people who know about this matter.
Cui Hongdao suddenly felt that he had miscalculated? "Who invited him to go? According to his character, he would like to lie on a woman's breast every day at this time. It is not his character to get involved at this time! What's more,
This matter is so confidential, even if several princes know it, it does not mean that he, Lu Zhaoying, knows it!" Cui Hongdao's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly lost his voice: "Lu Ke? It must be that kid Lu Ke, not him, Lu Zhaoying
How did he know this? Only Lu Ke had the courage to tell Lu Zhaoying about it. But why did Lu Ke do this? Once others knew about this, he would be feared to death by those ministers.
Is that so? Is he so unwise?" "Sir, if you don't take action, I'm afraid Prince Liang will take over."
The housekeeper urged from the side.
"Forget it, don't worry about this.
Prince Liang is not someone we can offend, since he wants a big pawnshop, just give it to him."
Cui Hongdao thought about it and decided not to conflict with Lu Zhaoyingsheng. This matter should be carried out secretly and should not be known to others. However, the situation in front of him forced Cui Hongdao to temporarily compromise. Take a look below.
Let’s talk about the situation.
"This is."
The butler could only sigh deeply when he heard this.
Since his own master didn't dare to offend him, let alone him, a servant, he didn't dare to offend King Liang.
He could only retreat sadly.
Cui Hongdao could only sigh deeply. If he could, he would not do it, but this matter was not visible to the public, and his identity was restricted, so he could only swallow his anger and dare not make trouble.
More importantly, he knew that even if he wanted to cause trouble, the other party would have soldiers in their hands, so he would not have the right to speak.
But at this moment, in front of the big pawnshop, Lu Zhaoying had already searched the whole pawnshop, and when she found those big boxes, Lu Zhaoying breathed a sigh of relief.
But the question soon appeared in front of Lu Zhaoying, where should these things be placed? Lu Zhaoying thought about it, shook his head, and ordered: "Send these things to the Prince of Shu's Mansion."
Since the King of Shu told him this matter, then the matter should be left to the King of Shu.
Lu Zhaoying would not take this matter to heart.
He would not get involved. Since Lu Ke asked him to do this kind of thing, he obviously had his own opinions and there was no need for him to worry about it.
In the Prince of Shu's palace, the lights were brightly lit, and the princes came one after another. Among the ministers who stayed behind, Fang Xuanling took the lead, Du Ruhui, Wei Ting, Cui Renshi and others also came one after another. Although everyone had a look of surprise on their faces,
At this time, no one spoke, and everyone looked at the two princes Lu Chengzu and Lu Ke.
"Chenglie said he was sick and wouldn't come."
Lu Ke glanced at everyone, with a trace of amusement on his lips.
This was the first time he noticed Lu Chenglie, his younger brother. At this time, he actually said that he was sick. Is it a real illness or a fake illness? This made people have to compare their livelihoods. If it was a real illness, it was nothing. If it was a fake illness,
This is a big problem. The former gentle and elegant His Royal Highness the King of Yue is now showing his differences.
"Sick? I saw that he was fine yesterday!" Lu Chengtai rolled his eyes, glanced at the brothers in front of him, pretended to be casual, smiled, and said: "I didn't expect this! This disease
Come and fall like a mountain, and go away like a thread! Why does the king of Yue say that illness is just illness?" "Haha, this person has good and bad fortunes all the time, and getting sick is only natural and human!" Fang Xuanling glanced at everyone,
A wry smile appeared on his face. He originally thought that His Highness the King of Shu's invitation to him was just a trivial matter, but judging from the situation in front of him, it might not be as simple as a trivial matter.
Look, almost all the ministers who stayed behind have come. Even the princes dared to come. Even the King of Yue, Lu Chenglie, pretended to be sick and couldn't come. This is probably not a trivial matter.
At this time, Fang Xuanling wanted to be like Lu Chenglie and pretend to be sick.
When she thought of this, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but glance at Du Ruhui, but she never thought that her old friend's face also showed a hint of bitterness.
Obviously at this moment, my old friend is just like me.
"Master Fang, Master Cen is not here, Master Cui has been demoted. Among the ministers sitting here now, Master Fang has the highest official position. You have to take care of today's affairs!" At this time, Wei Ting on the side suddenly heard.
Bian said quietly.
"Mr. Wei is laughing, laughing."
The corner of Fang Xuanling's mouth twitched. He was not the only one who was smart. The man next to him, Wei Ting, was indeed a member of the Criminal Department. He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with this.
It's just that this guy is very naughty. He actually wants to hide behind the scenes and let himself charge into the battle.
But since everyone is here, naturally there are things to shoulder together.
Looking at the situation in front of him, this matter may not be as big as usual. It is something that Fang Xuanling can't bear alone.
"Since Chenglie didn't come, there's no need to force it.
Erlang, what do you mean by inviting us here today? Hehe.
You are at home and have nothing to do now, but that doesn’t mean that several great scholars have nothing to do! You must know that the father went north, Master Cen went to Luoyang, and there are countless major national events, and they all fall on the shoulders of these great scholars.
, if you invite us all here, you won’t just let us sit around!” Lu Chengsi sneered.
"Don't worry, brother, there is still one person left. When he arrives, the younger brother will naturally explain everything to everyone."
Lu Ke ignored Lu Chengsi's threat and just said calmly.
"I wonder who else is there?" Lu Chengzu also asked with a smile.
"Uncle Prince Liang."
Lu Ke looked at Master Cui Ren and said, "As long as Uncle Liang arrives, Lu Ke will give everyone an explanation.
Oh, Uncle Wang is here."
At this moment, Lu Zhaoying burst in with a gloomy face, and behind him, several Zuo Yiwei soldiers came in carrying a few boxes.
"This is this?" Lu Chengsi asked in surprise, pointing to the boxes.
Everyone had surprised expressions on their faces. Only Cui Renshi vaguely knew the story, and his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Lu Ke with murderous intent in his eyes.
If possible, he could chop Lu Ke into tens of thousands of pieces.
The seals on those boxes are clearly Lu Qingyun's personal signatures, which shows that these items are Lu Qingyun's personal property.
