    Chapter 4 Royal Family

    At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and about twenty big men suddenly rushed in. They were actually wearing leather armor and had a standard military sword on their waist. They seemed to be acquaintances with the thugs in the restaurant. A few words were understood.  We and the enemy immediately surrounded Li Zuoguo and his party, with fierce expressions on their faces. It seemed that Li Zuoguo and others were in doom.

    The diners in the restaurant were all restless at this time, but the door was blocked. More than fifty big men blocked the spacious doorway. Many fearful diners began to sneak out of the restaurant through the side door, and the bold ones stayed behind.  In the hall, people watched the excitement with excitement.

    At this time, Li Zuoguo was already furious, and Chu Tianshu's face didn't look good. Chu Tianshu and Duan Tianhe both knew a little about Zhang Jun's actions. However, they were both ministers of Li Zuoguo, and the Zhang family were relatives of Li Zuoguo, because the queen  Ariel was born in the Ashina tribe of Turks, and her son Li Zhongfei was of mixed Han and Hu descent.

    This is nothing in the eyes of Li Zuoguo, but it is a big deal in the hearts of the civil servants in Chang'an. Originally, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty also had Hu ancestry, but now in order to highlight his existence, the original officials of the Tang Dynasty who later joined Li Zuoguo's camp raised the idea of ????Hu people.  The Han Dynasty had another theory, which meant that the only prince who could inherit the throne of the Zhou Dynasty was Li Zhongyang, the son of Zhang Xiuyun, the concubine of the Han Dynasty, and the eldest son of Li Zuoguo.

    This argument is very strange. There is actually a market in Chang'an. The aristocratic families in Chang'an are very powerful. In the process of fighting for the country, they have fallen behind the civil servants and generals from Anxi. Their current plan is to seek for the future. As long as they support Li Zhongyang, Li Zhongyang will ascend the throne in the future.  , you can naturally reap huge rewards.

    In this way, although Zhang Wujiang was just a casual minister and had no real power at all, as the father of Concubine Zhen, Zhang Jun, as the brother of Concubine Zhen, became the target of these ministers, and the Zhang family became famous in Chang'an for a while.  For a time, even An Guogong, who was the first to seek refuge with Li Zuoguo, was very polite to Zhang Jun.

    Zhang Wujiang was originally from a lower-class background. He was as rich as a dream, but he was an honest man. Therefore, he did not have close contacts with the ministers who dreamed of retiring Li Zhongyang and becoming the crown prince. However, Zhang Jun was different. Zhang Wujiang had always been  He has no military ability, and he has no official status in the Anxi Army system.

    Zhang Jun just relied on his sister Xiaoyun, who was one of Li Zuoguo's favorite women and received the care of the Li family. Zhang Jun was Zhang Wujiang's only son. Zhang Wujiang had a son and three daughters. Xiaoyun was the youngest.  At that time, because there were too many children in the family, she reluctantly sent Xiaoyun to the Li Mansion as a maid. But now, she did not expect that Xiaoyun would be so lucky. Although she was only a concubine, she is now the most noble woman in Dazhou.  one.

    Zhang Jun seemed dull, but in his heart he always thought that he had outstanding abilities and was not recognized for his talent. When the ministers in Chang'an praised him, Zhang Jun was so excited that he forgot his last name. He became one of the most popular and powerful people in Chang'an, which made Zhang Jun  This person who was born as a commoner only thought that heaven was nothing more than this. Everyone flattered him when he went out. No matter he was a marquis or a general, he had to call him "Little Marquis". Zhang Jun was intoxicated for a while.

    In Shule, Li Zuoguo arranged business for Zhang Jun. Because of Xiaoyun's relationship, the Zhang family had more than twenty caravans, all of which were medium-sized or above. Two caravans were large with thousands of people.  The annual income of the caravan is almost half a million yuan. This is Li Zuoguo's kindness. The Zhang family does not have to worry about managing it. They can just take the money every year.

    Both Xiaoyun and Xiaohuan have such caravans and various properties. Because Xiaohuan bought them from human traffickers and was too young to remember his parents, Xiaohuan's properties are managed by Datong Trading Company.  It is Li Hu's management, which is basically equivalent to Xiaoyun's industry.

    Li Zuoguo had good intentions, but he didn't want Zhang Jun to become a playboy-like figure in Anxi when Li Zuoguo led his troops to the Central Plains to fight life and death. He liked fancy clothes, good food, and attracted beautiful women. Li Zuoguo is now one and two.  Concubine, Zhang Jun was lucky. Not only did he marry the daughter of General Gao Chengwei of Anxi Suiye Pingxi as his official wife, but he also had more than a dozen concubines. He claimed to be a romantic and frequented a brothel. It can be said that his life was much happier than that of Li Zuoguo.

    ??It¡¯s not like Li Zuoguo didn¡¯t receive a report from Yinying, saying that the Ping¡¯an Marquis and Chang¡¯an ministers had close contacts, but Li Zuoguo didn¡¯t take it to heart. What¡¯s the use of a few surrenders and an uncle?  Li Zuoguo held all the military power tightly, not to mention that Li Zuoguo was only twenty-three years old and in his prime. They could distract their attention by messing around, so they didn't pay too much attention.

    Chu Tianshu and other former Anxi ministers were deeply trusted by Li Zuoguo and held high positions. Although they knew what Zhang Jun was doing, why did they say anything in front of Li Zuoguo?  When it comes to the emperor's family affairs, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well if I talk too much. As long as I don't join in the trouble, I just pretend that I don't see it.

    As for Li Hu, his identity is actually Li Zuoguo¡¯s retainer. Zhang Jun is engaged in Datong Trading Company.?In many cases, Li Zuoguo's wealth-gathering tool was Datong Trading Company. Now as the largest trading house in the country, Datong Trading Company deserves its dominance in all walks of life. The number of direct employees working for Datong Trading Company alone exceeds one million.  Not to mention the relevant manpower, even Li Hu may not know everything.

    Zhang Jun is now a bit unscrupulous in his work. He has directly changed many high-quality real estate properties of Datong Commercial Bank into his own name. Li Hu knows this, but he turns a blind eye. Those properties are just a drop in the bucket of Datong Commercial Bank.  What is your identity?  Are you going to complain to Li Zuoguo?

    Ashina Hejia is the real head of the country, but he keeps a low profile. He enjoys his life in Qiuci and does not mention anything about coming to Chang'an. This also shows the difference between the Zhang family and Ashina Hejia. After all, Ashina Hejia  As the leader of the film, He Jia has experienced far more things than Zhang Wujiang and Zhang Jun who were born as civilians, and he knows the importance of keeping a low profile and biding time.

    Li Zuoguo did not expect that his uncle would become such a domineering person in Chang'an. Suddenly a wave of evil fire rushed up and burned fiercely. He cursed Li Hu and Zhang Jun half to death in his heart, but  He also secretly warned that the Tian family has always been selfless. As long as the throne is involved, there will be people who overestimate their abilities. It's okay if their ambitions match their abilities. But if their ambitions and abilities don't match, they can only become the target of others' use.  .

    Zheng Chunyun was already in front of Li Zuoguo and the others at this time. Surrounded by dozens of big men, Zheng Chunyun didn't show any nervous expression. Back then, Zheng Chunyun also fought back and forth among thousands of troops, not to mention there were more than a hundred guards outside.  When they saw something was wrong, they were already gathered at the door.

    Li Zuoguo looked gloomy and said, "Is this how you do business in Chang'an? Where is the old shopkeeper who was gathered together? Ask him to come out and see me."

    A middle-aged man came out from behind, his body turned into a ball, and the fat on his face squeezed his eyes into slits. He was standing behind dozens of big men and sneered after hearing Li Zuoguo's words: "That old guy  Ah, I have gone home to retire a long time ago, and now I am the shopkeeper here. If you have offended Mr. Marquis's guests, that is a matter of great consequence. Kneel down and apologize immediately, otherwise you will be asking for your own life."

    Li Zuoguo was so angry that he laughed: "So the young Marquis has the final say in Chang'an? He doesn't care about human life? Isn't there no royal law in Chang'an?"

    The fat shopkeeper was a distant cousin of Zhang Wujiang, his surname was Cai. After the Zhang family became prosperous, he changed his name to Zhang Zhongxiao and posted it. Zhang Jun used him because the family was not rich enough and lacked manpower. Zhang Zhongxiao horses  Because of his superb kung fu, he got the job of being the head shopkeeper in Jutong.

    Zhang Zhongxiao laughed loudly: "If you offend the little Marquis in Chang'an, you have offended the Holy Lord. Who is the Little Marquis? He is the eldest brother-in-law of the Holy Lord and the uncle of the Crown Prince. The words of the Young Marquis in Chang'an City are the king's law."

    Li Zuoguo was stunned, Prince?  who?  Why don¡¯t you know this? Why do the villains all have the same lines?  But Chu Tianshu's expression changed drastically, why is this shopkeeper only a 250-year-old?  He dared to say such things in public that could cause serious trouble. He said that Li Zuoguo had not established a prince. Even if he had established a prince, before Li Zuoguo died, such an arrogant prince's subordinates would bring trouble to the prince. Chu Tianshu was deeply  Know the ruthlessness of royal power.

    It is said that Li Heng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, did not dare to be arrogant for more than thirty years with his tail, for fear that Li Longji would not like it. This army has no brains. How can people use it?

    The thugs surrounding Li Zuoguo were impatient. Among the big men wearing leather armor who came in from behind, the leader took two steps forward and reached out to grab Xiaohuan. Although Xiaohuan was dressed plainly, he had been living in the past few years.  Yuyu exudes the amazing charm of a mature woman, coupled with the exotic charm, it can be said that she is a beauty that these people have never seen before.

    The man was well aware of the nature of his little marquis. This woman was so beautiful, and she happened to have a conflict with his restaurant. He captured Xiao Huan and presented it to Zhang Jun. He must have received a lot of rewards, so he ignored the others at all.  He immediately grabbed Xiao Huan and said in a dirty voice: "The young Marquis will be here soon. All the men will have their hands and feet broken and thrown out of the city, leaving them to fend for themselves. But this young lady is kind-faced and seems to be  He is the slave that the young marquis escaped a month ago, I will arrest him first and identify him to the young marquis."

    Li Zuoguo no longer had any anger now, only murderous intent remained. What was the difference between breaking his hands and feet and throwing them out of the city in the freezing cold weather, and killing him directly?  What's more, he actually slandered Xiaohuan as a runaway slave, which was even more despicable. Before Li Zuoguo could take action, Zheng Chunyun grabbed the man's hand.

    That man also had some kung fu, otherwise he wouldn't have become one of the guard leaders around Zhang Jun, but he was far behind Zheng Chunyun. Zheng Chunyun's attack seemed unpleasant, but it was inevitable. That man  He felt as if his hand had fallen into an iron pliers, his finger bones cracked suddenly, and the severe pain immediately made him scream.Come: "Let go, you still dare to resist? Aren't you afraid that your whole family will suffer?"

    "Break all their hands and feet and throw them out of the city. The shopkeeper and the one who started the attack will be the last to die." Li Zuoguo's cold words made Chu Tianshu shudder. When he turned around, Li Zuoguo glanced at Chu Tianshu. This big man  Chu Tianshu suddenly broke into a cold sweat in the winter. He knew that Li Zuoguo was also dissatisfied with him, but he was complaining in his heart. What does this matter have to do with him?

    After receiving the order, Zheng Chunyun raised his hand, and a cracking sound like popping beans was heard. The man's hand was immediately crushed into chicken claws by Zheng Chunyun, and the bones of his five fingers were broken into countless pieces. Zheng Chunyun kicked out several times,  The man's screams were earth-shaking. His other hand and both feet were kicked off by Zheng Chunyun. They turned into a linen bag and fell limply to the ground. The degree of deformation of his hands and feet made it obvious at a glance that he was dead.

    It is not that these thugs and guards have never seen blood, but they have never seen such a cruel method. They were frightened and took a step back at the same time. But then they realized that no matter how powerful the opponent was, they could only be three men and two women. There were ten more on my side than them.  times, the one with the horizontal knife suddenly pulled it out, and pointed the tip of the knife directly at several people in the circle.

    When Zheng Chunyun saw that the place was narrow, he was also afraid that the sword had no eyes and would hurt Concubine Zhen and Chu Tianshu, who were not familiar with martial arts, so he made a gesture. The few men who came in later who were standing with their backs to the door felt wind in the back of their heads.  Then the whole person flew up in the clouds amidst the severe pain in his hands and feet. Dozens of men wearing various clothes rushed in from outside the door. They were all holding short stainless steel sticks in their hands. They waved the two-foot short stick.  On a human body, a piece of it suddenly becomes dented, showing how powerful it is.

    Zheng Chunyun's gesture was to knock him down, otherwise these dead soldiers from Yinying would pull out the daggers beside them and kill all the hundreds of people in the restaurant in just a few breaths. These guards only have orders and the emperor in their eyes, and the rest  No one will be lenient, and they are proficient in assassination and are also extremely skilled in how to break human bones.

    One person served one, two people served one, and soon all the people at the door were knocked down. The men lying on the ground with severely deformed hands and feet were all screaming at the top of their lungs. Zhang Zhongxiao was still standing, his face already painted.  Layers of gray, gray and gray, the fat lips trembled: "Youyouhow dare you do this? The city guard will be here soon, youdon't mess around."

    At this time, there was still the arrogance of saying that I am Wang Fa. Li Yu was also woken up by the screams. He rubbed his eyes with his little hands and wanted to raise his head. He muttered in his little mouth: "It's so noisy, daddy, let's go back to the palace."  Yet?"

    Li Zuoguo quickly put his daughter's little face against his chest and walked out quickly, saying: "Chu Tianshu, you stay and deal with it. When Zhang Jun comes, let him slap him for twenty first, and call Li Hu to come to my place."  , Zhang Wujiang also called, I will go back first."

    Then he coaxed his little daughter in a friendly manner: "Nanny, we're going back soon. Can you sleep a little longer and let your mother sleep with you later?"

    Li Yu replied in a sweet voice: "That's great, daddy won't fight with me." Then he twisted a few times and started to feel dazed again. Li Zuoguo turned around and glanced at Xiaohuan awkwardly, and found that Xiaohuan was  Covering her mouth and snickering, she and her daughter fought for her mother's right to sleep. It seemed that the little girl had deep resentment, so she quickly quickened her pace.

    When the fat shopkeeper saw the troublemaker walking out as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but open his mouth. But when he saw that Chu Tianshu was still there and the attackers were there, he became frightened again. Zheng Chunyun sneered, glanced at Chu Tianshu, and said  He glanced at Zhang Zhongxiao and said, "Chu Sikong, I'll leave this to you." He turned around and followed Li Zuoguo.

    Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly, knowing that Li Zuoguo was angry with him. He glanced at Zhang Zhongxiao with pity, who had not yet understood the situation, and ordered: "Find a few flatbed trucks and transport all these people to the outside of the city and throw them away. Is this guy?  " Chu Tianshu pondered for a moment and said: "We will deal with it in front of Zhang Jun when he comes."

    No matter how stupid Zhang Zhongxiao is at this time, he knows that these people in front of him are extraordinary. What's more, the word Sikong Zheng Chunyun just said is now Chu Tianshu in Dazhou, and Chu Tianshu was just following the young man who led him  What is the identity of the young man behind him?  Zhang Zhongxiao felt that his mind went blank and his legs were like chaff.

    There was a noise outside the door, Zhang Zhongxiao heard the familiar voice, his eyes lit up, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, his fat body jumped up like a cheetah, and rushed out the door quickly, Chu Tianshu  A guard next to him wanted to take action, Chu Tianshu shook his head, and the guard let Zhang Zhongxiao rush out. Knowing that Zhang Jun was coming, Chu Tianshu also walked out.

    Zhang Jun had just stepped out of a luxury car drawn by four horses. The guard Li Zuoguo at the door refused to let him pass. Zhang Jun's men were used to being arrogant, so they began to curse and draw their weapons one after another, trying to attack. Although Zhang Jun had no choice but to  I have a brain, but I also know that it¡¯s hard for me to explain the deaths caused by the Lantern Festival in the city, so I justThe men stopped drinking and got out of the car to see the situation.

    Wearing expensive fox fur, a pair of deerskin boots with golden patterns on the soles of his feet, and the jade pendant around his waist shining with a gentle light, Zhang Jun's appearance is slightly elegant, but his nobility has been cultivated.

    But as soon as he got off the car, a spherical object quickly stuck up. Zhang Zhongxiao was all known to Zhang Jun's men, so Zhang Zhongxiao rushed to Zhang Jun's side, hugged Zhang Jun's thigh, and snotted his nose.  She burst into tears and cried: "Little Marquis, please help me. Someone came to the restaurant to cause trouble today. They broke the hands and feet of Hu Si and the others, and they will also break the hands and feet of the villain."

    When Zhang Jun heard this, he was immediately angry. Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that Gathering Hall is his own restaurant, so he dares to cause trouble?  : "Who is going to cause trouble? Where are the people?"

    "A few people have left, but there are still people in the hall." Zhang Zhongxiao cried even louder.

    Zhang Jun threw Zhang Zhongxiao away and angrily walked towards the door of the restaurant. No matter who Zhang Jun was, the guards at the door still stood in a row and blocked the door. Zhang Jun was furious: "Are you people going to die? This  But under the emperor¡¯s feet, you dare to hurt people in Chang¡¯an city?¡±

    At this time, a voice came from the door: "Zhang Jun, you also know that you can't hurt people in Chang'an City?" A man walked out of the door. Zhang Jun looked at it and recognized it was Chu Tianshu, and couldn't help but be stunned.

    Zhang Jun knew Chu Tianshu¡¯s power, and he was one of Li Zuoguo¡¯s most trusted ministers. He wanted to visit Chu Tianshu several times, but Chu Tianshu always stayed behind closed doors. Zhang Jun reacted immediately and said with a smile.  : "It turns out that Sikong has arrived. This servant is ignorant and deserves a beating. Today is the Lantern Festival, and Zhang Jun is gathering to treat guests. Why don't Sikong go up and have a drink? I'll ask Zhang Zhongxiao to kowtow to you to apologize."

    Chu Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "You are serious. It is not me who your servants offended today, and there is nothing I can do about it."

    As he spoke, Chu Tianshu's face turned serious: "The Holy Father ordered that the shopkeeper's hands and feet be broken and thrown out of the city together with the people inside. Zhang Jun slapped him twenty times, and Li Hu, Zhang Jun, and Ping'an Hou Zhang Wujiang went to the palace to see him."
