Chapter 44 Aftermath
"As far as I know, the leader of the Xionghuo Gang is a Yu tribe leader named Feng Dalun. My dear friends, can anyone tell me how a low-ranking official from the ninth rank can be in the capital of the Tang Dynasty?
Hundreds of thugs gathered together and dared to surround and kill imperial officials in the street. Li Linfu, tell me!"
Li Longji suddenly shouted loudly. Li Linfu, who had always been calm, was also startled. Although he can now be said to have the most power in the world, the power comes from Li Longji after all.
There was a pop. Li Linfu fell to his knees on the spot.
"Chen Wan died..."
"I don't want you to die. I want to know why. Why is the Tang Dynasty peaceful, the country prosperous and the people prosperous. But in my city of Chang'an, such absurd things happen."
"Go back to Your Majesty. I will investigate this matter to the end and find out all the backers of the Xionghuo Gang."
"Really? Then you can use some snacks. I don't want to wake up and find those rebellious officials and traitors have already entered the imperial city." Li Longji said seriously. But Lu Xuan knew that Li Linfu would never abandon the Holy Spirit for this matter.
Judging from this, you can see that the cleaning task falls on him. Li Longji still trusts Li Linfu, and these words are just a moment of anger.
"As for Lu Xuan, your reaction in this matter was quite satisfactory. Although you fell into a trap, I don't blame you. Because I still can't believe that there is such a murderer under my nose. You
I can understand that I took office not long ago. Besides, if you found out about this matter, it can be regarded as a credit, no matter how big or small. Tell me, what do you want? Let’s make it clear first, I won’t reward you with another house this time.
Already."
"Hahahaha..." The elites of the Tang Dynasty laughed again. Apparently it was time to tease the barbarians from the Western Regions that they loved.
Lu Xuan felt a pain in his heart as he listened to the laughter around him. He didn't know what medicine Li Longji had taken wrong. Why was he always teasing himself...
"Go back to Your Majesty. This is not a good thing for me to do under my humble position. I dare not expect any reward."
"Look, look... Such a barbarian has made great progress. He knows how to make progress by retreating." Li Longji's mood became better again.
"I am the Son of Heaven. If I say there will be a reward, then there must be a reward. I order you, what do you want?"
"..." Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment and finally said.
"Back to Your Majesty, I do have a requirement for my humble position. In this incident, the bad guys under my subordinates were unable to stop the murderers. In addition to the manpower, the bad guys' equipment was also somewhat poor.
At present, the delinquents in Chang'an City only have cloth clothes and clothing, and standard horizontal swords. They have no other equipment. I humbly request your majesty's permission to equip the delinquents with some equipment."
Lu Xuan's words made Li Longji stunned for a moment. But before he could speak, an unknown minister jumped out next to him.
"I don't think so. As we all know, bad guys are made up of a group of street gangsters. They are no different from the Bear Fire Gang. How can we allow these street gangsters to possess military weapons."
"Who the hell are you..." Lu Xuan mentally complained. But of course he couldn't curse directly.
"Back to Your Majesty. I don't dare ask for armor and weapons from the army because of my humble position. I just want to be able to provide some light armor, shields and the like for bad people."
"Well, you barbarian. You have made a lot of progress during this period. I will allow you to go back and allocate a batch of weapons from Jingzhao Yin to the bad guys. You don't have to be chased by a group of market gangsters like last night.
Run. As for Chen Yunqiao, as a Jinwu Guard, it is your duty to patrol the capital. What you did last night was quite satisfactory. Therefore, I will neither reward nor punish you, do you understand?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty?" Chen Yunqiao certainly wanted to thank him. Even though he had tried his best to kill all the core members of the Xionghuo Gang last night, he still felt uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if something had slipped through the net.
Will the bribery incident break out? Now it seems that regardless of whether this matter breaks out or not, the Holy Spirit has no intention of pursuing it.
............
The Xionghuo Gang incident passed like this. Hundreds of people died overnight. At the same time, thousands of people were implicated. However, what made Lu Xuan pay attention was that Li Longji did not define the Xionghuo Gang as a rebellion in the end. Instead, he gathered a crowd to riot.
Bangzhong's family members were only exiled, not directly executed.
Although from the perspective of future generations, this is a cruel punishment. But according to the standards of this era, this can be said to be true grace. Although exile in this era is no different from death, there is still a glimmer of hope.
.Li Longji is still okay with his own people.
A few days later, at Lu Xuan's home, Zhang Xiaojing, Li Fushan, and Chen Yunqiao were drinking together.
After that night, Lu Xuan and Chen Yunqiao had a little friendship. Although Chen Yunqiao always felt that what happened that night was a bit strange. But in any case, it was Lu Xuan's people who reported the news and he was able to arrive in time. This is not only
The problem of retaining his official position can be regarded as saving the lives of his family.
Zhang Xiaojing, on the other hand, was fully aware of the entire incident. He knew that Chen Yunqiao had been part of Lu Xuan's plan from the beginning.
"Brother Lu, when you and I get along, regardless of official position or seniority, we only talk about wine. Let's have a good drink tonight." Chen Yunqiao is a good drinker. The restaurant under Lu Xuan's name has been prepared through continuous experiments and improvements.
Alcohol is becoming more and more adaptable to this era. Chen Yunqiao became addicted as soon as he drank it. After two drinks, he became brothers with Lu Xuan.
"Zhang Xiaojing, Zhang Yanwang. To be honest, your name is bigger than mine in Chang'an City. Those gangsters in the market are not as afraid of hearing your name when they see me. Just because of this
, I respect you. Brother, let’s have a drink!”
Li Fushan's story was widely circulated among the Tang Dynasty army. Chen Yunqiao didn't think much of him at first. But after learning about Li Fushan and Lu Xuan escorting the relics across the Western Regions back to Chang'an, Li Fushan naturally became interested.
'Brothers'... To put it simply, anyone caught drinking too much is a brother.
.....................
At the same time, the Prince's Mansion.
The prince and Chang Yuan were also drinking together.
"Chang Yuan. I always feel that what happened to the Xionghuo Gang this time is a bit strange. Do you think there are other problems in this?"
Changyuan put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke without hesitation.
