Chapter 1113 New Intelligence Officer

At dusk, more than a hundred cavalrymen and a gorgeous carriage parked in front of Yu Yun's mansion. This was the carriage of King Li Yuanji of Chu. Li Yuanji had been in the mansion for almost half an hour and had not yet come out. This is a rare situation. Li Yuanji never had such good patience.

The guards were gathered together to chat, and suddenly someone shouted softly. The guards stood up one after another. King Li Yuanji of Chu walked out of the mansion in anger, followed by Yu Yun's son Yu Weiming, which shocked the guards. Yu Yun did not actually send His Highness the King of Chu out in person. What happened here?

Li Yuanji walked to the door and turned back to Weiming, "Tell your father, tell him not to toast and not to eat and drink. There is nothing I want to do, and there is nothing I want to get. I will give him one night to consider and reply to me before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning against others!"

After saying that, he quickly went in and got into the carriage and shouted: "Go!"

More than a hundred cavalrymen surrounded the carriage and left in a mighty manner. Yu Weiming always had a gloomy face and said nothing. He looked at Li Yuanji's carriage and left coldly. He grew up so old that he had never seen his father get so angry. He actually drove Li Yuanji out of the mansion by sending guests away. It's no wonder he was so angry. Li Yuanji was obviously a robber, and he wanted Qingyun Restaurant when he entered the door. What's the difference between this and Mingzhe?

In fact, it’s okay to give a wine shop to Li Yuanji, but Li Yuanji’s attitude is too bad. He uses strong force to suppress others. How could his father, who has always been soft on the outside and hard on the inside, agree? What’s more, Qingyun wine shop has a deeper effect.

Yu Weiming returned to the room and saw his father still paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands full of anger. Yu Weiming quickly saluted and said, "Father, he's gone."

"What did he say before leaving?" Yu Yun was cold and steady.

"He said"

Yu Weiming hesitated for a moment and said, "He told his father not to toast and not to eat and punish him. We will only reply to him before noon tomorrow, otherwise he would not blame him for turning against others."

"Well said it! I will see how he turned against others."

Yu Yun immediately wrote a letter and handed it to his son and said, "You go to Qingyun Restaurant immediately and hand it to Gao Jin."

That night, a fire suddenly broke out in Wubenfang. The fire was so fierce that all the people in the fang and the soldiers of Jinwu Guard rushed to put out the fire. Although the fire was demolished next door, the fire at Qingyun Restaurant could not be extinguished. By dawn, the once hot-business wine shop was burned to white ground.

Even more serious, someone saw black gas falling from the sky in the fire and invading the earth and disappearing, which shocked the extremely superstitious people. Everyone raised hundreds of stagnant money to build a wall around the ruins of the wine shop to prevent the spread of evil energy.

Several merchants who were tempted to buy this land heard that there was evil spirits in the land, and they all gave up the idea of ​​buying land. No matter what is built, there will be no business. Which customer will come to the evil place to eat?

In the Chu Prince's Mansion, Li Yuanji finally got the news that Qingyun's wine shop was burned, which immediately made him furious. Needless to say, this was Yu Yun's reply, telling himself by burning both jade and stone, that he would rather burn the wine shop than give him, and even made up evil lies to break his hope of rebuilding the wine shop, which made Li Yuanji grit his teeth.

"Go and find Cui Wenxiang for me!"

Soon, Cui Wenxiang hurried to Li Yuanji's study. After being released in Luoyang, Cui Wenxiang certainly did not dare to go back to his family. He had betrayed his clan members, and it would be strange if the elders of the family had not tore him into pieces. Cui Wenxiang came to Chang'an and defected to Li Yuanji directly.

He once served as a special envoy of Wang Shichong to Taiyuan. At that time, the lord of Taiyuan was still Li Yuanji. During his interactions, Li Yuanji admired him quite a lot and wanted to keep him for work directly. At that time, Cui Wenxiang was favored by Wang Shichong, so of course he would not agree, but he also left a way out for himself, saying that he would definitely serve His Highness the King of Chu in the future. So when he left Luoyang, he immediately rushed to Chang'an and threw himself into Li Yuanji's arms without hesitation.

Li Yuanji also admired Cui Wenxiang quite a lot. On the one hand, Cui Wenxiang was once Wang Shichong's prime minister and the Minister of Revenue. He had a certain amount of capital, but more importantly, Cui Wenxiang had similar tastes and his ideas, and his ideas were cruel and sharp, which was very suitable for Li Yuanji's appetite.

"See Your Highness with a humble position!" Cui Wenxiang bowed respectfully.

"Have Mr. Cui heard the news?"

"Your Highness is talking about the fire at Qingyun Restaurant in our house?"

Li Yuanji nodded, "The restaurant has been burned out. I can't use my sir's plan. What should I do?"

Although Luo Yumin advised Li Yuanji not to touch Qingyun Restaurant, with Li Yuanji's personality, how could he let go of what he liked? He then consulted Cui Wenxiang. Cui Wenxiang gave him a plan to search Qingyun Restaurant with the suspected enemy of Northern Sui, and placed evidence during the search process. Then, using this as an excuse to completely copy Qingyun Restaurant, auction it, and then let his subordinates buy it at an extremely low price. As for the Yu family, they were charged with collusion with the enemy, and Li Yuanji would do whatever he wanted.

This strategy was undoubtedly in line with Li Yuanji's appetite, so he adopted it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, Yu Yun burned down Qingyun Restaurant first, making Li Yuanji unable to punch it.

Cui Wenxiang smiled and said, "Your Highness has the power of supervision, but can't you deal with the Yu family? Although the wine shop is gone, the strategy is still available. Your Highness only needs this and this."

Cui Wenxiang whispered a few times in Li Yuanji's ear, and Li Yuanji nodded repeatedly, "It's a good plan, I must be in trouble this time Yu Yun can't afford it."

"Your Highness, don't worry, you need to take action. Now Yu Yun must be prepared. After a few days, wait for Yu Yun to relax and catch him off guard."

Li Yuanji sneered: "Then let's take advantage of him for a few days first and then go back and deal with him."

After dark, the clerk and shopkeeper of Qingyun Restaurant retreated, and many accounts and documents were burned to pieces.

In fact, a few days ago, Luo Yumin warned Gao Jin that Li Yuanji wanted to attack the restaurant, Gao Jin dealt with all the correspondence letters and various intelligence copies that were related to the Northern Sui Dynasty. The guys also began to evacuate one after another, and all of them were evacuated on the last day. No abnormalities were found by those who were monitoring outside the restaurant.

Gao Jin retreated to the Bimo Stationery Store in West City, Chang'an. Since Chang'an Intelligence Office Hou Zheng and Yang Chonglan have been transferred back to Zhongdu, the Chang'an Intelligence Office is currently under the responsibility of Gao Jin. It just so happened that today, the new Hou Zheng of Chang'an Intelligence Office appointed by the Qi Palace has taken office.

The Chang'an intelligence leader who took office at a critical moment was no one else. It was Lu Ping, who had just finished his mission in Luoyang. Lu Ping had been promoted to the title of Hu Ben General and was awarded the title of Duke of Xiang'an County. He was also a senior general in the military.

Zhang Xuan personally appointed him as Hou Zheng, the Chang'an Intelligence Office, because he was not very satisfied with his ex-Hou Zheng. Although Yang Chonglan also made a lot of contributions, such as communicating with the Guanlong nobles, Zhang Xuan always felt that it was a little short of it. Unlike Lu Ping who directly used Wang Shiyun in Luoyang, Zhang Xuan hoped that Lu Ping could open up the situation as soon as possible after coming to Chang'an.

In the study on the third floor, Lu Ping listened to Gao Jin's report calmly. He immediately realized that there was an opportunity hidden in it. Lu Ping had formed his own unique style. He liked to find opportunities from contradictions. If Li Yuanji and Yu Yun had conflicts, wasn't that a conflict with the Guanlong nobles?

Gao Jin knew that the new boss was originally a subordinate of Du Fuwei and was born into a thief general. It is said that he was quite eager and wise and highly valued by His Highness the King of Qi. Although the other party had been promoted to the Hu Ben General, Gao Jin, who was born into a noble family, still looked down on the new boss more or less. He wanted to know how Lu Ping handled this matter.

Lu Ping glanced at Gao Jin and smiled and said, "Don't you think Li Yuanji is a priceless treasure when joining the army?"

"How do you say this?" Gao Jin didn't understand what the other party meant.

"As soon as the army, you should understand what I mean. Li Yuanji successfully transferred Qu Tutong from Jiangxia, and successfully made all the officials of the court in danger. Those who follow others will live, and those who go against others will perish. They are even more awesome than the emperor. Then, just use him to deal with the Guanlong nobles. Isn't it a good thing?"

Gao Jin was half-believing and half-doubted, and asked again: "What should we do?"
