‘Pa’, a Qing porcelain teacup from Jiangsu and Zhejiang fell to the ground, and fragments were sputtered everywhere.

管家肉疼的眼角直抽,张了张嘴却没有发出任何声音,心中不断安慰自己,家主心情不好,这几天已经不知砸碎了多少套名贵的瓷器,一套青瓷罢了,算不得什么大事.

"What are you looking at? Are you all blind? Make tea for me." Lu Yongshou, the head of the Lu family, slapped the table angrily.

From the night of July 15th to now, bad news has been one after another, as if all night, from God to the refugees and bandits, were going against him.

"Yes, yes." The housekeeper did not dare to disobey, and quickly said to the maid who was so scared that she hid beside her: "Why are you still standing there? Go and make tea."

The maid dared not neglect and went in a panic. The housekeeper took the opportunity to persuade: "Master, please calm down. Our family is counting on you."

Lu Yongshou's yinqiu glanced at the butler and said leisurely: "Lao Hua, they all say that God has the potential to do evil, but they cannot survive if they commit evil. What do you think?"

The housekeeper's desire to save lives was urged to the extreme at this moment. Without too much time to think about it, he quickly replied: "Master, the villain thinks... a man will conquer nature! A temporary victory or defeat is not enough."

"Hmph!" Lu Yongshou stretched out his left hand and groped on the coffee table for a few times. Then he remembered that the cup had been smashed by himself. He groaned in anger and waved his hand to signal the butler to leave.

The butler obviously didn't get the right place to flatter the house, and he mistakenly understood Lao Lu's intentions.

Who can conquer nature? What is the short term victory or defeat? What does it mean? This old guy thinks that I am saying that I am not going to live by myself? Just kidding, I clearly refer to Lu Chengfu, a guy who is not successful enough and has more than enough failure.

I just asked him to rob some food before. As for you, you sent the news, and it would be fine if you saw that the food was robbed. I wanted to run to someone else's place to show off my identity. Now, the person has been detained, and the robbed food and the grain transport team hired by Zheng's family are both present. If it weren't for the floods these days, it would probably cause a sensation in Chang'an again.

Damn it, I want me to wipe my butt again, why is there no one under my hands who can do things?

After thinking about it, Lu Yongshou did not think of any solution to the problem until late at night. It was not until this time that he realized that everything he had relied on before was actually not enough. Without military power, he was just a clown in the jumping beam. The man in the Tai Chi Palace just didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him.

What to do? It is definitely not enough to hold on. The little arm can't twist the thigh. Besides, the Lu family's branches are numerous, so they may not be as close to the host family. What I said before is the most ideal state to collectively hang the crown, but in fact, the difficulty of operating is not a small matter.

"Oh!" Youyou sighed, and Lu Yongshou regretted that he was too impulsive at the beginning.

On July 20th, it was sunny, and the heavy rain for several consecutive days finally stopped.

The blue sky is as clear as the blue melancholy.

Li Er is in a good mood, really good.

Memorials were placed on the table, with earnest words, some expressed their loyalty, and some admitted their guilt calmly, and each showed its ability.

But it is undeniable that no matter how beautiful these memorials are, there is only one central idea, that is, apologize for guilt, claiming that they are deceived and have no awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, which eventually leads to floods and causes the people to suffer.

People pushed the wall down, people broke the drums and beat them, and dozens of memorials piled up together. Although there was no clear point of who was deceived, they all pointed the finger at the five major families to the point.

It's time to close the net.

There are five major families, two Li clans, two Cui clans, and one Lu clan. Now it depends on who can escape from my palm.

"Come here!" After a loud shout, Lin Xi appeared from behind Li Er like a ghost.

"His Majesty."

Li Er picked up a list from his desk and trembled, saying, "Appoint Dali Temple to get people according to this list, go!"

"No!" Lin Xi responded happily, took the list and left.

After not seeing a smile on His Majesty the Emperor's face for several months, Lin Xi felt that she was useless. Now that the rain had sunny, the familiar smile came back, and Lin Xi's mood improved, and he swept the list in his hand as he walked.

There are five members of the Cui family in Qinghe, four members of the direct lineage, and one member of the branch lineage.

There are eight people from the Cui family in Boling, five people from the direct lineage, and three people from the branch lineage.

There are six members of the Li family in Longxi and six members of the direct line.

There are seven members of the Li family in Zhaojun, three direct descendants and four branches.

There are ten members of the Lu family in Fanyang, eight direct descendants, and two branches.

Lin Xi looked at the list of thirty-six people and felt sweaty on his forehead. Is he going to catch all the five major families? If the 26 direct descendants of the aristocratic families really caught all these people, the five major families would be really hurt.

Originally, Lin Xi planned to find someone to get the list to Dali Temple, but now... he really dared not, so he could only send it to him personally, for fear that the news would be leaked halfway. If the person on the list escaped, Lin Xi's life would probably end.

The Dali Temple Queen is a little old man with his surname Fang and Fang Deming.

The little old man is not tall and has a big beard. He is happy every day and looks like an ordinary old man next door.

But in fact, this old man is definitely a ruthless man. I don’t know how many officials in the Tang Dynasty are handed over to him every year. But thinking about it, as the highest judicial institution of the Tang Dynasty, how could the helmsman in Dali Temple be harmless to others?

As soon as he saw Lin Xi, Fang Deming showed a surprised expression and stood up to greet him: "Oh, isn't this Eunuch Lin? Why are you free to come to me today?"

"Fang Siqing." Lin Xi didn't dare to be arrogant, so he hurried a few steps and clasped his fists and said, "I'm not hiding Fang Siqing, our family came here because he was asked by His Majesty to give you a list."

As he said that, Lin Xi took out the list from his sleeve that was almost about to be squeezed out of water, and handed it to Fang Deming like he was holding a hot potato.

"Oh? So many people?" Fang Deming took the list, put it in his hand for a while, and raised his hand to attract a sergeant standing guard: "Come here, bring a few people, and catch people according to this list."

"What?!" Lin Xixi was almost falling off in surprise. Looking at Fang Deming's random movements, he hurriedly went up and pressed the list: "Fang Siqing, Fang, who is surnamed Fang, what are you doing? This list cannot be leaked."

You can't disclose it..., you can't disclose what you are doing with me.

Fang Deming looked at Lin Xi like a fool, and then shook his head for a while and said, "Eunuch Lin, you are a bit of a big deal. Just catch a few people back. Do you still have to act in secret?"

"Why isn't it?!" Lin Xi glared at the sergeant who was still standing near the mansion, waved his hand to the side, and whispered: "Queen Fang Si, this list was compiled after His Majesty's long-term layout. If the news is revealed and the people on the list are left, neither of you nor I can afford it."

"Oh." Fang Deming regretfully patted Lin Xi's right hand, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Lin is worried too much. Do you think Your Majesty really cares about these people escaping? If this is true, do you think Your Majesty will ask you to send a list?"

What does it mean? I am the one who revealed the news?

Lin Xi was a little unhappy, and he lowered his face and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Deming: "Eunuch Lin, think about it seriously, what is the most elite force in His Majesty's hands? Is the Xuanjia Army right? Tell me, if Your Majesty really wants to arrest some people secretly and don't want them to escape, should you use Dali Temple or use Xuanjia Army to come forward?"

Hey?! It seems that this is true.

Lin Xi, who was concerned about the trouble, suddenly realized and wished he could slap him hard. Fortunately, he had been with His Majesty for so many years, so why could not even understand His Majesty's intentions?

It is true that places like Dali Temple are important, but because of this, this place is probably already covered with holes and holes in the infiltration of those aristocratic families and nobles, and there is no possibility of confidentiality at all.

Therefore, no matter how tightly the list in his hands is kept in his hands, as long as he is sent to Dali Temple, someone will definitely know unless Fang Deming personally arrests people.

"How is it, have you figured it out?" Fang Deming saw that Lin Xi didn't say anything, and smiled and handed the list of hands to the previous sergeant. He arranged for him to arrest the person and invited Lin Xi, saying: "It's not easy for Eunuch Lin to come out once. It just so happens that I still have some good tea here, so why not drink one."

"Forget it." Lin Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I still have to go back to report to His Majesty, so I won't disturb Fang Lao Siqing anymore, say goodbye."

As I had guessed before, the Dali Temple had not waited for the personnel to be arranged to arrest people, and the news on the list was leaked. The spies stationed in the Dali Temple were in a panic and didn't even care about taking leave, so they hurriedly sent the news back to each family.

For a moment, Chang'an City was once again surging, and the five major families were in a bleak state. Everyone was facing a very difficult choice: whether to arrange for the people on the list to escape.

If you don’t escape, you will definitely not have a good result when you are arrested in Dali Temple. You are not a stubborn person. Don’t expect them to keep the secret.

Escape is even more impossible, which means escaping for fear of sin. Although it can be explained as traveling or visiting friends, if you open your eyes and talk lies, someone must cooperate.

The purpose of Li Er's place is to take action against the aristocratic family. Visiting friends will definitely not be able to explain them, and if they are not done properly, it will involve more things.

For a moment, all the five major families had no idea, and the people on the list were even more like a dog with a broken family, and were in panic all day long.

The heads of the five families did not expect such a big disturbance this time. They just collected some food outside and encouraged some disciples to write letters to impeach Li Dejian. They had done this time, so why did they react so much?

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

In fact, not only the heads of the five families could not understand, but even Li Er's most loyal maid Changsun Wuji and others could not understand.

When Changsun Wuji heard that Li Er was going to arrest someone, he was still stunned for a long time despite being prepared. These are five families. He used five major families to operate at the same time. He felt that the Tang Dynasty was too stable and he was looking for trouble if he had nothing to do.

Although Changsun Wuji also felt that the aristocratic family might not dare to fight Li Er to the death, what if? What if the aristocratic family couldn't think about it, there would be a big mess.

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other old people were also panicked, fearing that something unpredictable would happen.

It was under such circumstances that the last team of the Northern Expedition to the Turks, the Right Wu Guard, came back, and accompanied them as missions from dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, carrying the power of the great victory of the Turks and Tuyuhun. These small countries came respectfully and tribute.

The people of Chang'an City have countless topics of talk overnight, including drought, flood, aristocratic families, and the Western Regions. No matter which one, they can chat for ten days and half a month, and get together... Good guys, I don't know what to talk about.

The missions of these small Western countries were basically led by the kings of various countries. They came from the Western Regions all the way east, and they saw Guanzhong after the severe drought, and they felt a little dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty.

But when they entered Chang'an, they were immediately stunned.

The three-meter-high city wall, the seven-to-eight-meter-wide city gate, and the huge Weng City are almost half of their capital... This is something they never dreamed of before, let alone the bustling crowd after entering the city.

As the center of Asia in the 7th century AD, Chang'an City was the only city with a population of more than one million. This was almost like a giant in the small countries in the Western Regions that could build a country with a piece of land by surrounding a piece of land.

The Zhuque Street, which is more than fifty feet wide, brings people no less shock than the towering wall. The huge width is unimaginable even in later generations.

Let's put it this way, the street that is fifty feet wide may be a bit too abstract, so let's take a more practical example.

The width of Zhuque Street was measured in later generations to be 155 meters. Let’s calculate based on the width of three meters per lane. The width of 155 meters is equivalent to fifty lanes in both directions.

It is not to be bragged or black. The width of Chang'an Street in the capital is only 80 meters, while the width of Zhuque Street in the Tang Dynasty is 155 meters, almost twice the width of Chang'an Street.

From entering the city to entering the Honglu Temple Inn, the only impression that Chang'an City left on the Western Regions is that it is great. If one must be added, it is that there are many people.

Tang people, Turks, great cannibals, Persians, Western Regions...

Black, white, yellow...

I can only imagine that I didn’t see it. In this international metropolis, you can find any known race, and you can also buy anything you know or don’t know.

Silk fabrics, porcelain, bronze, iron, jade, fine wine...; Western Regions, big food, Persian... beauties or slaves... are dazzling and dazzling.

The beauty of the Tang Dynasty, the wealth of the Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty are all located in this pond that has been established for less than 30 years.
