Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

But being crushed to death by the house I built, that would be too unjust!

Now, he not only had to admit that Liu Bai had won, but also thanked Liu Bai a thousand times!

Who let Liu Bai's people save his life?

After a long time, Liu Zhenghui stood up, bowed to Li Er, and then bowed to Liu Bai.

"The old man is willing to bet and admit defeat!"

Liu Bai smiled slightly and nodded, as a return of courtesy.

His impression of Liu Zhenghui was good.

At the very least, through Liu Zhenghui, the role of cement has been publicized, and it has saved a lot of money

10,000+ passes!

Although Liu Bai didn't take it seriously, with this amount of money as the initial capital, it was enough to make the entire Liu Family Zhuangzi rich!

Li Daliang was even more happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

Fang Xuanling and the others clapped their hands to the surroundings again and again, with a disgusting look that I am very powerful, but I am very humble.

10,000+ coins will be available soon.

Although Liu Zhenghui didn't fall to the point of selling his ancestral house, he also suffered a hemorrhage once.

The Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall!

Wynn stepped into the hall.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the servants have already delivered the silver to Lord Liu's residence!"

Li Er nodded.

It is really rare to see such a clean and honest person like Liu Zhenghui. Of course Li Er doesn't want him to ruin his family because of a mere [-] guan silver.

"Wynn, how about the martial arts of the guards around Liu Bai?"

Wynn was startled, a chill suddenly came to his heart, and the hairs all over his body stood up. He said unnaturally, "Why would your majesty think of that man?"

Li Er sighed lightly.

"Everyone asks Lian Po if he is old, can he still eat? But old is old, and if you are no longer brave, it becomes a decoration."

Wynn didn't understand what Li Er meant.

However, he knew what Li Er was worried about.

Now in the court, the top military generals who can be ranked are all old people who followed Li Er in the rebellion.

But the youngest of these people, such as Cheng Yaojin and Xue Wanjun, are already in their 40s.

And Qin Qiong and other old people may not even be able to hold weapons.

There is no one to succeed him, he is the general of the Tang Dynasty, the biggest problem!

"If Your Majesty likes that person, you only need to make a decree!"

Li Er shook his head and said, "I haven't reached the time to compete with Liu Bai for someone."

As he spoke, he smiled and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

He and Huai En are named master and servant, but when he was the King of Qin, the two were closer than brothers. If there were no other people, they would rarely have any scruples when talking.

Wynn thought for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty knows the skill of the servant, but in the hands of that man, the servant may not last for twenty rounds!"

Hearing what Wynn said, Li Er was taken aback.

"So powerful?"

He thought that Xu Chu's skills were at most similar to Wynn's.

After all, fighting to the death does not depend solely on strength.

Wynn shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this servant is telling the truth. Twenty rounds is already the limit!"

Chapter 132: Even the powerful families are no match for Liu Bai, so what is Hou Junji?

Having won 10,000+ coins from civil and military officials, Liu Bai was not in a hurry to build a cement kiln.

If these 10,000+ sticks are used to burn cement, it can definitely be called a big business!

It's just that without a suitable management model, it will be messed up sooner or later.

Therefore, Liu Bai deliberately found a big shopkeeper in the family to help the villagers of Liujiazhuangzi develop cement into an industry.

In just seven or eight days, thousands of kiln mouths sprung up in the Baqiao area of ​​Chang'an!

The first reason for choosing this place is that it can be sold nearby. After all, the academy has a huge amount of projects, and the demand for cement must be high.

Secondly, it is also considered that there are few people here.

Cement kilns are a very polluting industry, and it will be too late to save them when the sky turns gray.

Old Wu, the shopkeeper sent by Liu Bai, is patrolling the Baqiao construction site.

"It's still the young master who has the foresight. Such a large project is enough for the Liu family to rest on the credit book and earn their money for decades!"

Even though Lao Wu hadn't read many books, he knew the importance of the academy to the common people.

Reading can be said to be the only hope for ordinary people to turn around.

Many families, even if they don't have enough to eat or drink, will grit their teeth and send their children to the academy.

Moreover, there will only be more and more families like this, which means that the academy will be built bigger and bigger!

This first phase of the project made the Liu family earn a lot of money, how much money should it be in the future?

For the Liu family, the academy is like a golden mountain!

After thinking about it, old Wu Yue also felt that Liu Bai did it brilliantly.

"The academies are all built by our own family. In the future, our old Wu's children will not be embarrassed if they want to study."

Old Wu thought happily, suddenly, a foreman ran over with a pale face, as if he had been frightened by something!

"Shopkeeper Wu, go and have a look! Something happened over there!"

Old Wu was stunned, and looked in the direction of the foreman's finger. There was a group of people gathered around, and he didn't know what they were looking at.

"What happened?"

There was fear in the foreman's eyes.

"You should go and see for yourself!"

Old Wu felt a 'thump' in his heart, and hurried over.

Passing through the crowd and taking a look first, Old Wu immediately covered his mouth, ran to the side and vomited loudly!

There are not a few people like him.

Even those who didn't vomit, their faces were all pale.

Surrounded by the crowd, it turned out to be a dead body!

What's more, it was a corpse that had been dissected not long ago, with colorful viscera lying all over the floor!

Old Wu vomited until his face turned yellow, so he turned around and covered his eyes with his sleeve, and asked the person next to him.

"what happened?"

Someone replied tremblingly: "This corpse was originally buried in the soil, but it rained just now, and the corpse was washed out!"

Old Wu couldn't hold back, and vomited out again with a "wow".

By the end, he almost spat out his bile.

He supported a fellow on the shoulder and hissed, "Go back to Zhuangzi and inform the young master!"

I don't know if it's because of the fast-talking people in Chang'an, or some other reason.

Before Liu Bai got the news, the news that Baqiao had dug up a fresh corpse spread throughout Chang'an!

The Governor of Chang'an immediately ordered the Baqiao construction site to stop working, and even Dali Temple was sent to investigate.

Fortunately, after Dai Zhou got the news, he immediately took over the case, so he didn't arrest the head shopkeeper of Liu's family and all the fellows.

Jingyang, the Liu family mansion!

After Liu Bai heard about this, his first reaction was, someone is playing tricks!

Although the former Baqiao was a mass grave, all the corpses have been cleared away by the Chang'an Mansion since the academy chose the site there.

Li Er even personally issued an order not to allow Chang'an City to kill slaves and concubines without authorization.

In recent days, the Baqiao area has been very clean.

The only explanation is that someone wanted to deal with the Liu family and deliberately buried a dismembered corpse in Baqiao!

Liu Bai immediately ordered people to call Shen Wansan and the others over, and even sent someone to deliver a letter to Dai Zhou to put the case on hold for a while.

"Master, my subordinates have recently found out that there is a gang named 'Greedy Wolf Gang' in Chang'an City. They frequently take action, and they like to use this trick to entrap merchants!"

Everyone came to the study room, and after hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Shen Wansan was the first to speak.

He is in charge of all the businesses of the Liu family, and it is his duty to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

He is very clear about local snakes everywhere.

The most common method used by the Greedy Wolf Gang is to throw a dead body at the door of a business to blackmail money.

Therefore, the first thing Shen Wansan thought of was them!

The corpse is really easy to find.

There are quite a few homeless people in Chang'an City, and a dozen or twenty would freeze to death every winter.

The government has never paid any attention to these people who have no household registration and never pay taxes.

If you die, you will die, and it is not uncommon for the corpse to be swallowed by wild dogs.

"It's just a gang, do they have such courage?"

As Liu Yexuan's big shopkeeper, Chai Lingwu was also fortunate to participate in this meeting.

After all, he is a nobleman, and he looks down on gangs who make a living by blackmailing merchants.

Shen Wansan shook his head, and said: "Master Chai doesn't know something, these gangs have their backing, otherwise, they will be wiped out by the government as soon as they show up, how can they be tolerated to this day?"

Chai Lingwu said in disbelief: "Support the gang? Who would have the guts?"

Since the knights of the Han Dynasty killed important court officials in the street, gangs have become the key targets of the government.

At least, since Liu Bai came to Datang, he has never heard of any gangs.

But in history, there were not many gang knights in Datang!

For example, Li Jing, who is known as the god of war and is now leading an army to climb the ice and lie on the snow in Longyou, is a knight-errant!

These people, living in a dark corner, are rarely known by the world, but they are closely related to the common people.

How could it have survived until now if there was no one to back it up?

Liu Bai asked, "Old Shen, what news do you know?"

Shen Wansan smiled wryly, and said: "Young master, the subordinates don't know much, but the person behind the Tanlang gang is Hou Junji, there is no doubt about that!"

Hearing this name, no one reacted.

After all, although the current Hou Junji is also a powerful general, he is far inferior to veterans like Cheng Yaojin and the others.

It seemed that he was slightly worse than a middle-aged general like Xue Wanjun.

If he took action against Liu Bai, he would be too presumptuous!

Even the great families are not Liu Bai's opponents, so what is Hou Junji?

But after hearing this name, Liu Bai was a little lost.

"How could it be him?"

Liu Bai felt a little surprised, but even more amused.
