Chapter 28 My God

Li Guangbi and his Jinwu Guard became famous in Chang'an. His fame made Chen Liu, a group of first-class salted fish who were not concerned about military and political affairs, also began to talk about topics about him at night's sleeping talks.

What they are talking about are the Yulin Guard soldiers who arrested Li Guangbi today, who committed traitors in Chang'an.

The Jinwu Guard's duty is to be responsible for the public security of the capital. Catching thieves is their old job, which seems to be nothing to be surprised about. However, the Yulin Guard is an imperial guard and the emperor's direct troops. Over the years, the Tang Dynasty has been extremely stable, and the war against foreign races was entirely handled by the Jiedushi. The imperial guards only enjoyed generous treatment but never had any war. In addition to being lazy and abandoned, they also gradually fell into depravity and corruption.

There has been an open secret in the circle of merchants in Chang'an. As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy the military status of the imperial guards. The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can be exempted from military service, taxes and corvee. Businessmen can avoid a lot of trouble in interrogation, which is more conducive to dealing with local governments at all levels.

Wu Benli has a military membership in the Yulin Army, and Li Cangyu knew about it. A few days later, he sent a friend to put on his military uniform and clicked on him for the barracks, and took the number of people to participate in the queue training. This is all the duties Wu Benli must perform as a Yulin Sergeant.

This is not the worst.

Because the imperial guards are the direct descendants of the emperor, no one has ever dared to take care of them. Not to mention the local government, even the prime minister and prince never dared to interfere. The older the official, the more timid the person is, who would use such a "small matter" to bully the dog and seek the bad luck of the emperor?

Since everyone doesn't care, Jinwuwei is justified and never cares about it.

As a result, in the area of ​​the capital, the imperial guards and soldiers were rampant in the market to buy and sell forcing them, bullying men and women to kill and rob people, and they became commonplace. Cui Anqing, who Li Cangyu met at Niannuzhai that day, was one of them. He dared to beat people in public without restraint, or even kill people with a knife.

These people have even formed a fixed team and scale, and the people of Chang'an called them "Impotency Warriors". Originally, "Xia Shao" was a compliment, and it was used in them simply because the people in Chang'an hated and feared them, and dared not speak out.

However, after Li Guangbi took office as the General of the Jinwu Guard, he first eliminated the 300 redundant Jinwu Guards under his command in one breath, and opened the list to recruit young and strong families and carefully selected reorganized troops. Then, he immediately attacked the "Imperial Guards Young Master" who was rampant in the west city, and captured more than 20 people for the first time. He immediately attacked from all directions and arrested more than 60 people in succession, most of whom were soldiers of the Yulin Guard. Because of his refusal to arrest, there were still casualties and injuries in the fight.

The people of Chang'an cheered and applauded, and for a moment Li Guangbi's name was well-known.

However, Li Guangbi's slaughter directly hit the face of the Yulin General Wang Chengye. Wang Chengye ran to sue the emperor Li Longji, but Li Longji defeated Wang Chengye's crime of "not being strict with his subordinates" and fined him half a year's salary.

Just a moment, Li Guangbi became even more famous.

Whenever we talk about this, Chen Liu and others would cheer from "saints wise" as if they were no longer the first-class salted fish in Chang'an, but the loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, Li Cangyu heard the poisonous name "Li Guangbi" every day.

Before the poison died, Li Cangyu finally caught a little free morning and hurried out. This time he didn't even call Gao Bai, but only brought Feitian Red Orange Clay Inkstone to Xuanyangfang and knocked on the door of Niannu's house.

The door was opened.

Familiar tonnage, familiar voice, "Why are you here again? The mansion doesn't care about food today!"

"Ho ho ho..." Li Cangyu couldn't help but smirk when he saw Nie Shiniang, and he was about to form a conditioned reflex.

"Fool!" Nie Shiniang turned around and was about to go in.

"Wait a minute!" Li Cangyu called her and straightened her face, "I'll look for your master, and I have important things to talk about."

"Don't you come to have a meal?" Nie Shiniang seemed very alert.

Li Cangyu smiled faintly, "I'm not a beggar."

"No matter what you are, it's not just for dinner. Auntie doesn't want to serve people today!" Nie Shiniang waved at him, "Come in!"

He played the banana fan again!...Li Cangyu smirked a few more times.

"Look at you who are very smart, but you smile so silly!" Nie Shiniang kept shook her head, "The master of Zhai is not here, I will take you to see Chanjuan!"

"Is the master of Zhai here?" Li Cangyu was stunned, "Then forget it, I'll come again next time."

"Wait, aren't you here to find Chanjuan?" Nie Shiniang's eyes widened.

Li Cangyu spread his hands, "What am I doing for her?"

"Isn't it just doing something about men and women?" Nie Shiniang turned her eyes, with a look of "I can understand".

Li Cangyu was all happy, "I'll come back next time!"

"Wait!" Nie Shiniang called him again, "Are you really here to talk about something? What's the matter?"

"Sorry." Li Cangyu smiled indifferently, "I can only talk to your veterinarian about this matter."

"Okay, come in!"

Playing with me? Li Cangyu frowned, didn't you say that your veterinarian is not here?

"Don't be stunned, I'll take you to see Xiao Xinyu." Nie Shiniang said, "Our master of Zhai is always in the palace. It would be great if you can go home in three or four days a month. When Zhai is away, everything is explained to Xiao Xinyu. Do you understand?"

"Oh?...hoho!"

"What a fool!"

The two of them entered the mansion, and Nie Shiniang asked Li Cangyu to wait in the pavilion. After a moment, she brought a big girl in Hu's clothes and men's clothing.

Li Cangyu looked at her a few times. Although this girl was not stunning, she looked like a clever and honest person. She had a strong bookish atmosphere. Her temperament was free and capable. Her eyes often showed her shrewdness and courage that were not as good as her age.

"Yao Xiao'er has met Li Langjun." The girl stepped forward and bowed, taking the initiative to salute.

Li Cangyu replied, "But Nie Shiniang called the girl Xiaoxinyu. Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard it right." Nie Shiniang said aloud, "Yao Xiaoer is her own name. It's just because she is extremely smart and seems to be able to read the words in others' hearts, so we all call her - Xiaoxinyu."

"So that's it." Li Cangyu nodded and smiled, "Xiao Xinyu sounds pretty good."

"The title is not important, just as long as Li Langjun is happy." Xiao Xinyu said with a calm smile, "I wonder what is the price for Li Langjun to come to the mansion early in the morning?"

"I'm here to return things." Li Cangyu took out the inkstone and placed it on the table. "I blamed me for being frivolous and rude to take away the love of the master of the veterinary master. I came here to return it today and apologize solemnly."

"Flying Red Clay Inkstone?"

"Yes."

Xiao Xinyu smiled, "Li Langjun, we should not waste our time. Please tell me the truth!"

"What's wrong?" Nie Shiniang shouted, "Is this inkstone not a problem? Don't you know that it is..."

“Get out.”

Xiao Xinyu said softly, Nie Shiniang stopped the sound instantly, shrank her hands and hung her head, and ran away in shame.

Awesome character! Li Cangyu said softly in her heart, the girl who can be used as the butler by Nian Nu is indeed outstanding!

"Langjun Li, please speak."

"Then I won't waste time." Li Cangyu chuckled with a self-deprecating voice, "Although the so-called return of inkstones is true, it is indeed just an excuse to come to the door. I am here to invite you masters to do me a favor."

Xiao Xinyu smiled and said, "You just think that our master will help you?"

"I'm not sure. But I'm willing to give it a try." Li Cangyu said.

"It seems that it is a very important thing for you." Xiao Xinyu's eyes seemed to have really lit up, "You are also a businessman and should know the rules. Do you have anything to exchange for?"

"No." Li Cangyu answered very simply.

Xiao Xinyu's expression suddenly became quite mysterious, "I have it."

"You have?" Li Cangyu was confused, "What does it mean?"

"Come." Xiao Xinyu ordered, "Get the things."

A man - to be precise, another eunuch - came over with a heavy red lacquer box. He placed the lacquer box on Xiao Xinyu's table and quietly retreated aside.

Li Cangyu looked at her in confusion and thought to herself: Niannu is worthy of being the leader among the children of Liyuan. Now there are so many people in her mansion.

"The things in this red paint box are yours." Xiao Xinyu smiled mysteriously, "Would you like to use it for our master to do your favor?"

"I don't remember that I have such a box." Li Cangyu smiled, "So, I do."

"Don't you take a look at it first before making a decision?" Xiao Xinyu's words were full of tempting magic, like Pandora holding a magic box.

Li Cangyu was also very curious, "Then let's take a look!"

Xiao Xinyu opened the box neatly.

A golden light shines, blinding people's eyes!

"Persian gold coins?" Li Cangyu exclaimed.

Li Cangyu is familiar with this thing, and has seen it in his past and present lives. The so-called Persian gold coins are actually gold coins of the Roman Empire. It is just that the Tang people used to call the wealthy foreign merchants from the Silk Road "Persian merchants", and this name is equivalent to "super rich foreign merchants".

Persian gold and silver coins brought by Persian merchants can be circulated directly as currency just like silk from the Tang Dynasty, and are "very hard and very hard" hard currency.

"There are five hundred Persian gold coins here." Xiao Xinyu covered the box, "I guess you should know, how much are they worth?"

"At least 350,000 yuan, just based on gold," said Li Cangyu, "but Persian gold coins have always been extremely valuable and exquisitely made. In addition, the rare things are precious, which is a good product that many wealthy families yearn for. Therefore, the value of these 500 Persian gold coins will be far more than 350,000 yuan. In the future, they will become more and more valuable."

"So many Persian gold coins actually appeared in the same box at the same time." Xiao Xinyu was still smiling mysteriously, "Anyway, they all belong to you. How do you feel?"

"I still say the same thing, I don't remember that I have a box like this." Li Cangyu said, "I still hope that your master can help me."

"You don't want to know where they came from?" Xiao Xinyu was curious.

"I don't want to know." Li Cangyu's expression had turned into indifference. "I don't want to repeat it anymore. I just hope that your master can do me a favor."

Xiao Xinyu's hand gently patted the red paint box, blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment, "Say, what's the matter?"

Li Cangyu took a deep breath and said, "I hope that your veterinarians can help me get a household registration. I want to become a good family."

"Okay, I promise you."

After saying that, Xiao Xinyu stood up and left without looking back. The eunuch came up and picked up the red paint box and followed him.

Li Cangyu watched the red paint box walk away, and his heart murmured endlessly: What money! What money is so much!

That's life!

Oh my god!
