In a small cottage in the backyard of the Qingyun Tavern in Chang'an, several important officials from the Chang'an Intelligence Agency were discussing the important tasks they had just received.

Yang Chonglan felt extremely pressured, and the superiors actually suppressed the task of overthrowing Qu Tutong. This was clearly a counter-split plan.

"Everyone tell me! What should we do?" Yang Chonglan asked in a hoarse voice.

There were three people in the room, in addition to Hou Zheng and Yang Chonglan, there were also deputy Hou Zheng and Qin Xiaoyuan and Gao Jin who joined the army.

Qin Xiaoyuan glanced at Gao Jin and saw that he was still thinking, and said, "Qu Tutongyuan is in Jiangxia. If he takes action in Chang'an, it is nothing more than promoting his own troops and his desire to seize Jingxiang. But I don't think the effect is great unless there is conclusive evidence, but there is one thing we can use."

"What is it?" Yang Chonglan asked.

"I heard that since Duan Decao surrendered, Li Yuan no longer trusted the former Sui generals. Qu Tutong was appointed as the governor of Jingbei because he received Li Shimin's recommendation, in charge of the military affairs of eight counties including Xiangyang and Jiangxia in northern Jingzhou. He has 50,000 elite soldiers under his command. Is Li Yuan really uneasy for him?"

Qin Xiaoyuan reminded Yang Chonglan with one sentence. Yang Chonglan suddenly remembered something. When Qu Tutong was named Minister of War, the real power of the Ministry of War was in the hands of Zhao Cijing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War. Qu Tutong was completely undermined, which shows that Li Yuan did not trust Qu Tutong.

Although Yang Chonglan saw a glimmer of hope, he could not grasp the direction of what to do.

Yang Chonglan looked at Gao Jin who had been silent, "What do you think about joining the army?"

Gao Jin smiled faintly and said, "The biggest problem with Qu Tutong is that there is no military supervisor. I have a plan, which may be effective."

Gao Jin whispered to the two, and Yang Chonglan and Qin Xiaoyuan nodded repeatedly. This was indeed a good idea, but Yang Chonglan was still a little hesitant.

"But we didn't get the handle on this matter."

Gao Jin smiled slightly, "Did you forget the person we instigated last year?"

Yang Chonglan suddenly realized, and he made a quick decision: "Let's act separately according to the method he said to join the army!"

At present, the Chang'an Order is Qu Tutong's brother Qu Tuga. Because Chang'an has gathered powerful people and has complex power, it is difficult for both Jingzhao Yin and Chang'an Order to last, and people often have to be replaced in half a year or a year.

Qu Tuge has been in office for a year since he served as the Chang'an Order. He is famous for his integrity and seriousness, integrity and strictness, not fearing the powerful and nobles, nor showing favoritism for personal gain. The powerful and noble evildoers are afraid of it. The people of Chang'an said, "I would rather eat three fights of miatica than see Qu Tuge."

Although Qu Tuge is strict and upright and has won wide praise from the public, in a society where interests are playing games, one side will inevitably suffer losses from the other side, and Qu Tuge offended many powerful people.

At noon, Qu Tugai was resting and having lunch with several officials in the official room. Qu Tugai was about fifty years old, with a square face, heavy eyebrows and eyes, and looked quite fierce. The appearance was born from the heart, Qu Tutong himself was also jealous of evil and had a hot temper. Because he received the support of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, and had a tough backstage, everyone in Chang'an was afraid of him.

Qu Tuga was in a bad mood these days. The reason was that the third family of powerful people lit firecrackers to celebrate on the third day of the first lunar month. The burning bamboo pieces collapsed on the roof of the next house, which caused a fire, almost burning a street, burning hundreds of houses, and burning more than 30 people. This incident caused anger to the emperor and ordered Qu Tuga to find out the matter and prevent such incidents from happening again.

This matter is actually easy to find out. The person who ignited the firecrackers was Yin Ahsh, the father of Concubine Yin De. At that time, only his family was setting off firecrackers. In the end, their walls were high and not burned, but more than a hundred families suffered. But the problem now is that Yin Ahsh refused to admit that it was their family that caused the fire, let alone compensation. Qu Tuge could not catch the evidence for the moment, which really made it difficult for him to deal with the matter.

Qu Tugai was having a meal in a depressed mood while thinking about countermeasures. At this moment, a yamen runs to the door to report: "Mr., something happened in the western city!"

Qu Tugai was stunned, put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is forcibly occupying the store, and the two sides fight. I heard that someone is dead."

Qu Tugai was shocked. The problem was serious. He didn't care about eating. He immediately got up and put on his clothes and walked outside, "What the hell is going on? Who killed someone?"

"I'm not sure what exactly it is. I only heard that three guys died and several brothers went to check the situation."

Qu Tugai walked out of the office, turned over his horse, and ran to the west market with more than 20 yamen runners. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the west market, a yamen runner came towards him and reported to Qu Tugai: "The king of the palace, the shop has been smashed, and the brothers have also been beaten and injured five of them."

Qu Tuge was furious, "Who is so rampant?"

"Mr. I heard that he is the slave of His Highness the King of Chu."

Qu Tugai was stunned. He turned out to be Li Yuanji's slave? He asked quickly: "What happened?"

"Qi Bingfujun is one of the three major fabric shops in the capital. It seems that there was objection due to store transactions, which eventually led to a conflict. The two were fighting, but the King of Chu had a large number of slaves, which beat the people in the store very badly."

"Is the King of Chu going to force his shop?" Qu Tugai continued to ask.

"It seems not, it's just his slave."

Qu Tugai snorted heavily, urging his horse to gallop. Soon after, he rushed to the Bubuhang in the west city. The street of Bubuhang was already crowded with people watching the fun, and the two ends of the street were blocked.

"The idle person ahead gives way!"

The yamen runners shouted that the people watching the fun would dodge to both sides and make way. Qu Tuge led dozens of yamen runners to rush into the cloth shop.

The street of Bubuxing is not long, only more than a hundred steps, and is a wide and short street with more than a dozen large and small fabric shops distributed on both sides. Cloth is not only the raw material for making clothes, but to a certain extent it can even become a currency. Its position in the market is extremely important and is second only to Mixing in the entire western market.

It is precisely because of its importance that it is monopolized by power. There are only thirteen fabric shops in the east and west markets, and each family has its own background.

The fabric shop where the accident happened was called Huang's cloth shop. The owner of the shop is from Taiyuan, the largest cloth merchant in Taiyuan, and the richest man in Taiyuan. The old owner died of illness last year, and his eldest son Huang Xingshan took over the industry of the Huang family.

The Huang family cloth shop is also the largest cloth shop in Dongcheng City. Since it can be the largest, it certainly has its own background. The Huang family's backing is the prime minister Liu Wenjing, and it even has something to do with the Qin King Li Shimin.

When Qu Tugai arrived, the bloody battle had ended. The store's flag was torn and thrown on the ground. More than 30 shopkeepers, including the shopkeeper, were all knocked to the ground and lying on the open space outside the gate and rolling in pain. Three killed friends were hung upside down on the horse stake. Only a rude voice was heard shouting fiercely.

"Tell you, even if the king of heaven comes, it's useless. I'll beat one, and I'll beat a pair of them. Who dares to come again? These three people will end up with him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "The Lord of the Mansion is here!"

In an instant, dozens of yamen runners rushed up, and Qu Tugai urged his horse to arrive. He saw three corpses hanging upside down on the horse stake, and couldn't help but get angry and dared to kill people in broad daylight!

He turned around and looked at the extremely arrogant group of shop-grabbing people. They were a group of big men in black short clothes, each holding a big stick with a knife around his waist. About fifteen or sixteen people were running out of the occupied store. The leader was a very burly and majestic man holding a two-color stick. He was just now shouting wildly.

But Qu Tuge's eyes turned to another man behind the leader. This man was about 30 years old, wearing a white robe, and looked like a scholar. He was particularly eye-catching among a group of black-clad thugs. More importantly, Qu Tuge clearly saw him whispering to the leader behind him. Qu Tuge immediately realized that this person was the real murderer.

"You are actually killing people in broad daylight. The crime is unforgivable. Come! Take down the man in white in the lead for me."

Qu Tugai's goal was clear, pointing directly at the man in white, and more than a dozen yamen runners rushed forward. At the same time, dozens of yamen runners rushed forward and pulled out their knives to block the yamen runner's way.

The man in white sneered and said, "It is related to the grudges of His Highness, why did Duke Qu Tu get involved?"

Qu Tugai already understood a little. This matter is probably not just about forcing the store. The Huang family is the richest man in Taiyuan. King Li Yuanji of Qi has been in Taiyuan for many years, so they must have many relationships.

But the person who was killed was right in front of him, how could Qu Tuga turn a blind eye? He asked coldly: "Who is your lord?"

The man in white smiled proudly with his hands behind his back, "Luo Yumin is the aide of His Highness of the King of Chu. He will handle this matter under the order of the King of Chu. Please come back!"

"Appointed to deal with it?"

Qu Tugai couldn't help but feel angry, and pointed at three corpses with a horse whip and shouted: "Your handling is to kill people at the feet of the emperor. Do you have any other kingly laws in your eyes?"

"King Law? Of course we have a kingly law. I am very sorry for the death of these people. I can guarantee to the Duke that I will not kill people again, but the orders of the King of Chu must be carried out. I must burn this shop."

"You dare!" Qu Tugai said glaring at the man in white.

The man in white snorted coldly and said, "Take it!"
