When several Hu merchants heard that they were going to send them to the black ice platform, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. They hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and even deliberately made a loud noise.

Li Xu was the focus of the crowd, and now with this group of Hu Shangs of different shapes, many people gathered around and got together to become melon-eating crowds.

Seeing that the two guards were increasing, they not only subconsciously approached Li Xu, but also guarded him in the middle.

I was afraid that there were people with ill-hearted intentions to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Li Xu was not panicked, and looked at the group of Hu Shangs who deliberately made things big and sneered, wanting to see what they wanted to do.

A white man begged and said, "This official, we are really a scheming businessman, and we are definitely not spies. Please don't blame us for being ignorant of our ignorance and neglecting you. We will definitely give you many gifts to the official."

Several other Hu merchants also agreed loudly. Although they kept saying that they were honest and honest, they spoke fluent Qin Mandarin and expressed that they were blackmailed by the official official because they and others did not know the official master in front of them.

Sure enough, these words caused a low voice among the melon-eating crowd. Some people pointed at Li Xu and pointed in a low voice.

Li Xu had a clear ear and eye, but he heard it clearly.

It's just that I looked at my eyebrows and eyes but didn't expect that I was a greedy person.

Sure enough, the world's words are like black as crows.

Of course, most of the people who say these words are men, and they are mainly young men.

Many young women defended Li Xu and sneered at the men who criticized Li Xu, saying that they could not slander such a handsome young man just by just a few nonsense.

The so-called "units of our race" must have different hearts.

How could a young man be so handsome?

It must be that these Hu merchants have problems.

The two sides were clamoring, and the sound became louder and louder, which instead overwhelmed the voices of several Hu merchants.

Although Li Xu was a little annoyed by the words of those trolls who didn't know the truth, he was not going to make a big fuss. He still watched coldly, waiting for the performances of these Hu merchants.

Hu Shang originally planned to attract the melon-eating crowd to make things worse, so that these young, overly handsome, overly overly-known officials would be concerned, and then take the opportunity to get out.

After all, Chang'an City is a capital city in a country. There may not be many other things, but there are definitely many officials.

There is a slang saying in Chang'an City: throw a piece from the top of the bell tower in the center of the city and turn it around, hitting five people, three of whom were officials.

Among these three officials, there is at least one assistant minister.

So there is another saying: I don’t know my official position until Chang'an City.

In the eyes of Hu merchants, this handsome young official would definitely not be a high-ranking official. If they make such a fuss, they might attract the attention of greater officials.

These Hu Shangs have been in Chang'an City for many years, and their official positions are actually more familiar than many Chang'an natives. Looking at Li Xu's eyes, they didn't know what official position the Nine Gate Admiral was, so they subconsciously thought that he was just a small official.

If it can attract a high-ranking official, the small-ranking official must have to obediently escape.

But they watched as the crowds of onlookers were increasing, and many people were talking to them. They were a little happy in their hearts and were glad that they were cleverly smart, but they didn't expect that the handsome young official in front of them had no intention of panic at all. Instead, they looked at them like a hunter staring at the prey.

This made them feel a little confused.

A white man, Hu Shang, suddenly approached Li Xu and whispered: "This official, we have done business with your Duke Ning of Qin, and the Duke Ning of Hanzhong Hou Linyi, the son of Duke Ning, also knows us. They can help prove our innocence."

It was said that he had dealt with him, but in fact, it was just that Ning Guogong Lin Ruhai sent someone to buy a few monoculars from them.

What they knew was just a manager in Lin Ruhai's mansion.

But at this time, I was holding the big banner, hoping to scare the young official.

Unexpectedly, it would be fine if he didn't say it. After the name of Ningguo Duke Lin Ruhai was brought out, the young official not only did not have any fear, but instead sneered: "Is that right? Then why don't you go to Ningguo Duke to prove your innocence now. If Ningguo Duke doesn't come, then Hanzhong Hou Linyi can come. If you can't invite him, then the official will ask the Black Bingtai to check you carefully and see what you are doing behind your back."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai, the Duke of Ningguo, could not even scare people, these Hu Shangs were really anxious. The sounds of the yelling just now became much smaller in an instant. When they looked at each other, they were obviously at a loss.

Originally, he didn't doubt anything, but the more he did this group of Hu Shang, the more Li Xu felt that they had problems.

He was not in a hurry to go home now, but instead wanted to see what these Hu merchants were covering up.

And who is the backer behind them?

After he came to Chang'an City, although he became famous, he was also very low-key.

There are not many powerful officials in Chang'an City who know each other. First, there is no time, and second, there is no need.

At this time, I became interested and wanted to see what awesome people in Chang'an City and talk to them carefully.

The Hu merchants were helpless, Li Xu was in a leisurely manner, and there were more and more people eating melons, which led to the roads on this street being blocked.

The situation here naturally attracted the attention of the street patrol officers of Jingzhao Prefecture. A team of constables yelled to separate the crowd and walked in.

"Who is causing trouble here? It's really awesome to be brave!"

Before the person could approach, the voices of scolding and scolding came first.

Li Xu looked over coldly, and an escort immediately went over to block the way of the group of detectives.

The waist knife was unsheathed and stood in front of him. The constables immediately stopped and dared not move forward.

"The Admiral of the Nine Gates is here, and the idle person retreats!"

The guard shouted softly, took out a waist sign and shook it in front of the leading detective.

The captain immediately let out a cold sweat when he glanced at him.

Others may not know, but he knows very well what kind of yamen the newly established Nine Gate Admiral Palace is.

Especially the ability and identity of the admiral made them even more frightened.

That person's reputation is well-known in their Jingzhao Government Office.

Who doesn’t know that although the Admiral of the Nine Gates was too young, he was definitely the number one person in the Qin Dynasty in terms of ability and courage.

Not to mention his ability to command troops to kill the enemy, he dared to lead troops to confront Hanzhong Hou Lin Yi when he was just a small county magistrate. On the way to transfer to the capital, he almost ignited the fire with Lin Yi's old son Ning Guogong and heard that he almost shot Duke Ning Guogong with an arrow.

Not to mention that within a few days after he came to the capital, he personally led his troops to pacify King Yong's rebels and captured King Yong's son-in-law Yang Wenrui.

All of these things left Li Xu with a fearless prejudice in the hearts of these constables.

And most importantly, this admiral was also the prospective niece of the prime minister Song Mu, Jingzhao Yin Song Yu and General Song Cheng, and is the most trusted general of the prime minister Song.

With ability, temper, courage, and backing, such a group of young constables can never afford to offend such people.

This group of constables were clever. After knowing Li Xu's identity, they did not leave. Instead, they dispersed the crowds around them and stayed aside to maintain order, and did not allow the melon-eating crowd to get closer.

Seeing that the detective leader had a wink, Li Xu felt a little moved and someone called him over.

"May I have your name?"

"The villain Niu Yanwen is the headmaster of the Jingzhao Prefecture Office. Today, the villain is on duty and takes people to patrol the streets. If you have any instructions, just ask for it. The villain who can do it will be done for you."

This bull captain is naturally smart. If you are not smart enough to be a constable in the capital, you will never be able to do it for a long time if you don’t have any wisdom.

After listening to Li Xu's inquiry, he performed very well.

Li Xu nodded and pointed at the Hu Shangs and said, "Do you know them? Do you know who the backer behind them is?"

The headmaster of the bull looked at the Hu Shangs a few times and whispered: "Report to the Admiral, these Hu Shangs have been here in Chang'an City for a long time. The villain has once again seen them drinking with the Wang Manager of the uncle's mansion."

Li Xu frowned: "National uncle's mansion?"

Isn’t the uncle the three Song brothers?

The head captain of the bull hurriedly said, "In fact, it is Wang Xiong, the queen's biological brother who is about to marry him. People in the capital are used to calling him the uncle."
