233. Pretending to be struck by lightning

On the tenth day of the second month, Prince Gong Li Boyi heard from his servants that he had come to visit him early in the morning.

"Luo Yong? What's the matter with him?" Li Boyi is tall and profound in character. Although he is just a cousin and nephew with Li Shimin, he still has the same similarity as two or three points.

"Is the word for Yan Liu's business?" the servant bowed and said.

"Yan Liu?" As soon as he heard this name, Li Boyi guessed that Luo Yong's actions were not good.

Yan Liu is a brother of his eldest son's concubine. He is quite clever. He took advantage of his sister's relationship and made a living for a money-catching man. Prince Gong's mansion also had money with him and asked him to get money outside. Li Boyi also knew that this person's methods were not clean, but he always knew the right way. He had never caused any big trouble for him. Why did he provoke the Luo coffin board this time?

The servant was still bent and waited. Li Boyi thought about it. The coffin board was so clever that he even dared to argue with the emperor. He probably wouldn't take him seriously, the emperor's cousin seriously. This time the meeting would obviously not be too pleasant.

Since it is unpleasant, then he will disappear. He is a dignified prince. He will disappear if he can't say he can't see him. Could it be that he still has to leave a face for the coffin board?

"I said I won't see you." Li Boyi sat on the wooden couch and said.

"Now." The servant bowed and replied.

Luo Yong, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, heard such a sentence. He looked up at the tall courtyard wall and gate of Prince Gong's mansion, said nothing, and drove away in a donkey cart.

He went this trip today to confirm the attitude of King Gong Li Boyi.

There is a possibility that Yan Liu used bad means to get money, and Li Boyi was unaware of it. After all, he was just a brother of his son's concubine, and the victims were all merchants. Many people would rather suffer a loss than cause trouble for themselves, and they did not dare to spread the matter that Yan Liu threatened him.

In this era, the status of merchants was very low, especially some small vendors with little background relationships. I heard that Yan Liu had mostly picked soft persimmons before, so nothing happened. There were rumors among merchants in private. People like Du Xi who had a wide range of friendships and well-informed knowledge were heard, but there were still many people who didn't know about it. After all, Yan Liu was just a small character. In the eyes of many big people, his methods were just small-scale fights and were not worth understanding and paying attention.

So before moving Yan Liu, Luo Yong felt that it was necessary to go to Prince Gong's Mansion to see what Prince Gong's attitude Li Boyi was. Of course, if Prince Gong could deal with the people, it would be even better, so that Luo Yong would spend more effort.

As a result, Li Boyi had such a reaction. Luo Yong was not sure that he was just a big shot, or he wanted to protect Yan Liu. The latter was more likely. After all, these high-gate courtyards paid the most attention to identity and dignity. Even a dog in their courtyard was not allowed to touch outsiders.

Luo Yong returned to his shop in Fenglefang, called Xu Erlang and two other disciples, and went to Chonghuafang to find Aunt Luo.

Then in this yard of Chonghuafang, Luo Yong told them what had happened in recent days, including the news that Xing Er heard and his experience in front of Prince Gong’s Mansion today.

"What are you going to do now?" Aunt Luo knew a little about what happened in the shop in the north and south grocery store recently. At this time, she heard that it was related to the Prince Gong's Mansion, and she couldn't help but frown.

Those royal relatives are the most difficult to provoke. After doing business in Chang'an City for so long, they have heard of many such things, and ended up with merchant compromise. If they meet those who are slim, they will not give up if you can't stay in Chang'an City.

"The contract that Yan Liu signed with me earlier is still in my hands now, and the few foreigners they hired to spread rumors were intercepted by Xing Er before leaving the city, and now it is in my hands." Luo Yong said.

Xing Er had already touched Yan Liu's side. Yan Liu and the others didn't know it yet, and they thought that their actions were very secretive. Later, the groceries in the north and south were promoting, and that little rumor could not cause any storm, so they had to give up and give the people some silk and money, and ask them to leave the city quickly and leave Chang'an City.

I thought this matter was over, and no one knew what they had done behind their backs. Unexpectedly, the few foreigners were intercepted by Xing Er and others. These people also had the money they earned from spreading rumors, which was a stolen person and was captured.

"You are planning..." Lin Wulang opened his eyes wide!

"Of course I have to go to the county government to report to the officials." Luo Yong said for granted. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was also a legal society. Since there was a law to follow, he naturally had to go through legal channels.

"The government may not be able to make a decision." Xu Erlang said.

"If you are not fair, you have to try it before you know it." Luo Yong replied.

In fact, Xing Er has advised Luo Yong in the past two days to tell him not to make a big fuss. If he hurts the face of Prince Gong's Mansion, he is afraid that they will not give up easily. It would be better for him to take action. Don't touch him now. After this period of time, he will find another opportunity in the future. He will kill Yan Liu without knowing it.

As long as you do it cleanly and don’t leak the news, the Prince Gong’s Mansion may not be able to pursue them. Besides, the people in Prince Gong’s Mansion may not really care about Yan Liu’s life or death.

Luo Yong was actually moved at that time, so there was nothing on the surface, but it was very good at solving the problem.

But after thinking about it, Luo Yong refused. Although Xing Er was a mess, this person was actually very principled and refused to touch the bottom line of the law. He would rather run a small workshop for the children under his command to pick up wool and goose feathers to earn food than let them go out to earn more easily but improper money.

Luo Yong didn't want his hands to be stained with blood for such a person, and Luo Yong himself was actually unwilling to bear the lives of human beings, so he finally decided to compete with those people in person. Even if the damage was greater, it would be better than letting Xing Er's hands stain blood and leaving a haze in his heart.

After talking to Aunt Luo, Xu Erlang and others, they were prepared. Then Luo Yong went out to meet Xing Er, tied up the foreigners, and headed to Chang'an County Government all the way.

The location of Chang'an County Government is very close to Chonghuafang. On the south side of the West City, there is Huaiyuanfang. To the west of Huaiyuanfang is Chonghuafang, and to the south is Changshoufang. The Chang'an County Government is in the southwest corner of Changshoufang.

Luo used them to tie people up, and Dalala walked on the streets. When the people in the market saw it, they all came out to watch the fun.

"This is not Luo Sanlang, why are you tying someone? Are you going to Chang'an County Government?"

"Why were you snatching and stealing?"

"Sanlang, what are you doing? What's wrong with these people?" someone asked Luo Yong loudly.

"I don't know where the foreigner came from. He spread rumors all day long. He said that he was a job in my shop and stole someone's wallet. I found it and tied it up to the official, asking the county magistrate to cut off the throne and give justice." Luo Yong said to those people with a smile.

"I'm wronged, I really lost my purse." Among the people tied up, there were still unwilling people who were unwilling to give up, so they shouted for injustice.

"Don't make a quibble!" Luo Yong blew his face and shouted loudly, only to get started and beat him:

"The silk and copper coins you carry are exactly the same for each person. They are clearly the stolen money you get from doing bad things. When you arrive in the court, just be honest and ask for it. Who is going to harm my shop?"

Luo Yong originally wanted to stimulate him, but he didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good. The man probably thought that Luo Yong would not dare to do anything to him in broad daylight. He also thought that the person who made a deal with them was extraordinary, and he was even more courageous. He immediately replied:

"When I tell the identity of that person, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it. If you know the truth, please let us go as soon as possible to avoid burning us!"

"Oh! Let's go and go to the government. I want to see how you burn this fire. If the official cannot give a notice, I will personally twist your dog's head when the time comes."

There was a righteous man in the market. When he heard this, he was furious and carried the man's neck, and pushed him towards Chang'an County like a chicken.

"I just said that the rumors a few days ago were strange. It turned out that someone maliciously slandered him."

"Such a wicked man, please send him to the official!"

"I really think that there is no king's law in Chang'an City!"

"Let's go and see the officials!" Everyone pushed the tied people to Chang'an County Government. The team continued to grow along the way, some were indignant, and some were just going to see the fun.

When we arrived near Chang'an County Government, the team had grown to hundreds of people, and many people were still shouting loudly that they wanted to find the mastermind behind them.

How could Li Boyi in Prince Gong’s mansion know that he had just pretended to be a pussy this morning, and Luo Yong came for him at noon.

What's more coincidental is that several of his own concubines sat and talked all day long, and happened to be a little greedy, so they sent their maid to the sister's food shop to buy food.

At this time, Aunt Luo happened to be in the shop. She knew that she was from Prince Gong's Mansion. When she was not busy in business, she also talked to her for a few words because the other party often came to buy it. Aunt Luo also gave her some braised skewers, fish balls, dates and bean cakes. After all, she was an old customer and bought a lot every time she came. It was not easy for her to run errands all day long when she was old.

"The food in my shop will not be sold to Prince Gong's Mansion, so don't come in the future." This time, Aunt Luo refused to sell her things.

"Why?" the woman said in surprise.

"This morning, my Sanlang had something to ask Prince Gong to discuss with him, but he refused to meet him." Aunt Luo said.

"What a status of King Gong, how could anyone see him?" The woman smiled and showed sarcasm when she heard this.

"I, the sister of any kind, don't have any other ability. Whoever sells the food in my shop can do the right thing." Aunt Luo glanced at the woman and sneered in her heart. She even looked down on Sanlang in her identity as a slave.

When Luo Yong came to the door today, he explained his purpose. Not only did King Gong disappear, he didn't even leave any face for him, and he didn't find any excuses. He didn't say a word. It was obvious that he directly slapped Luo Yong in the face because of his high status.

"You've thought about it." The woman said viciously.

Not only did she not buy food today, she was also involved in such a thing. After she returned, she was afraid that the men and women would vent their anger on her. When she thought about it, she felt very angry.
