Chapter 287 Dandy Protects Luoyang

Yesterday was Li Yan's first day in Luoyang.

Just like the first day when I entered Chang'an, I lived a fulfilling and friendly life.

After some small conflicts, a victim was saved, a tragedy was reversed, and the murderer was witnessed. Finally, the curtain ended with drinking tea, sleeping for three hours, and waking up refreshed.

There was no dream all night, and he slept soundly, but because of his keen hearing, the sound of Zheng Rentong beating the child faintly came to his ears.

Considering that Zheng Hui was still sick in bed, it was obvious that Mrs. Zheng had been beaten again.

In fact, Li Yan still has some things to ask Mrs. Zheng, but now it seems that he can only delay it temporarily.

He was eating breakfast with the tired Zheng Rentong, and another servant informed him.

Soon, Gong Siguang was brought before him, with tears streaming down his face: "Li Jiyi! My second brother was imprisoned by the third brother, and Cao Shangfei was also killed by him in order to protect the second brother! Woooooo!"

After Li Yan inquired carefully, his expression became solemn, and Zheng Rentong was also shocked: "It has become so troublesome overnight?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said: "The reaction is so intense, it can be seen that Gong Siye's involvement in the case is deeper than expected."

Gong Taoguang was silenced, which made him feel something was wrong.

At this time, Gong Siming was actually imprisoned and seized power. Such an extreme behavior made him verify his guess: "What's going on?"

Gong Siguang wiped away his tears and said: "I slept in the room next to the middle hall last night. When I woke up, the third brother came back from outside and entered the hall to quarrel. Later, my Cao Shangfei was thrown into the yard , stop moving..."

Li Yan likes cats very much, but he is also a little helpless because he is always on the grass.

However, he understood that Cao Shangfei's death was witnessed by Gong Siguang himself, and as for the quarrel in the hall and the fate of Gong Siming's house arrest, it was a matter of listening and guessing.

If you think about the worst, Gong Siming may not be imprisoned, but has been killed.

He then asked: "If your third brother wants to take charge of the Gong clan, can he do it in a short time?"

Gong Siguang shook his head: "It can't be done. My elder brother died young. Since more than ten years ago, my second brother has been handling the family affairs. His prestige is unmatched in the family."

Li Yan looked at Zheng Rentong, and Zheng Rentong stroked his beard and said, "Gong Erlang is the governor of the state. can."

Li Yan nodded slightly and said, "Then he should still be alive..."

The word "return" frightened Gong Siguang, and said in a trembling voice: "Third brother...does he want to kill second brother?"

Li Yandao: "The matter has come to this point, there is no way for Gong Siye to retreat, he will do anything."

Gong Siguang finally couldn't take care of his flying on the grass, bowed his head and begged: "Please Li Jiyi, please Zheng Inspector, save my second brother's life, save my whole Gong clan!"

Zheng Rentong didn't mind that he was in the back, thinking of Gong's killing each other, he felt very relieved, and said coldly: "It depends on how you will deal with Gong's next!"

Li Yan got up and helped him up, pressed his shoulders and said, "Remember what they said carefully now, don't let go of a single word, it doesn't matter if you didn't hear clearly."

Gong Siguang sat down, took a few deep breaths, calmed down a little, frowned and said: "Their voices are not loud, and I am far away, so I really can't hear what they said specifically, but the time is not long, so I will In less than a quarter of an hour, the second brother called people in."

Li Yan said: "Calling someone?"

Gong Siguang said: "The six healthy servants, including two Kunlun slaves, were all bought by me. After three months of training, they are stupid and disobedient. They just look scary and can fill the gap."

Li Yandao: "That is to say, it should be your second brother who is going to take someone first. When Gong Siye entered the hall, did he bring his servants?"

Gong Siguang said: "No, he went in alone."

Li Yan asked again: "Then he has practiced strength since he was a child, and his martial arts are very strong?"

Gong Siguang said: "We all practiced when we were young, and Aye forced us to practice. After reaching the championship, we basically stopped practicing. They are busy with work, so I can't bear the hardship..."

This is also a common problem among the children of most aristocratic families. When they were young, they practiced under the supervision of their families to strengthen their bodies. When they reached adulthood, they were either busy with official duties or indulged in enjoyment, and their martial arts were quickly wasted.

If Li Yan was really concentrating on his internal guard work all day long, he wouldn't be free, so he used his working time to practice, achieving a win-win situation.

Since Gong Siye is not proficient in martial arts, Li Yan asked: "Did you hear the screams from the next door during the fight in the hall?"

Gong Siguang said: "There were some noises, but no screams."

Li Yan asked a few more points in detail, and concluded: "The six healthy servants, plus your Caoshangfei, did not take down Gong Siye, but were killed by him instead. Either this person is hiding something, or He is surrounded by strong people to protect him, so far, the possibility of the latter is higher."

The death of the cat is the big deal, so Li Yan still uses a nickname.

The lynx is not only fast, but also very aggressive. It is unambiguous when it comes to hunting its prey, and it is not easy to deal with people in close quarters.

Cooperating with six strong and powerful servants of Kong Wu, seven hits and one was counter-killed.

Zheng Rentong listened in, his gaze became serious: "The one who killed Gong Taoguang yesterday and pretended to commit suicide to apologize?"

Li Yan nodded: "I'm afraid it's that person. Gong Siye dared to act so recklessly because of his confidence. Mr. Zheng, you must take strict precautions in the past few days. There must be no slack in the house. Thieves I'm already jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Zheng Rentong was about to arrange staff immediately, and said with concern: "Li Jiyi should also be careful!"

Li Yan didn't care too much: "I have two apprentices in the post house, please trouble Zheng Gong to protect them together, as for myself, if the thieves don't come, I will go to them..."

Zheng Rentong nodded: "Okay, the old man will immediately send someone to the posthouse to pick him up."

After the arrangements were made, Li Yan said solemnly: "Assassination is one way, and the other way is water transportation."

"The Gong family is rooted in water transportation, and most of the grassroots personnel at the docks are trained by them."

"Don't look at the Beishi Wharf is now in good order. It doesn't seem to be a difficult job. If you change a group of people to go up, the efficiency will be different immediately."

Zheng Rentong's face also sank: "This is really troublesome!"

Li Yandao: "These people can't move, the Beishi pier can't be messed up, Gong Goro, this time it's up to you."

Gong Siguang's face froze: "Li Jiyi, I usually don't care about things at all, and I don't understand these things, I'm afraid..."

Li Yan comforted: "Don't be afraid, you don't need to do anything specific, as long as you ensure that Beishi is not chaotic and people's hearts are stabilized, it will be a great achievement."

"We will rescue Gong Sima and shatter the thief's conspiracy. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and will not be implicated. Whoever is to blame is to be blamed."

Gong Siguang wiped his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's go!"

Zheng Rentong went to arrange manpower, and the two set off immediately.

The north and south cities of Luoyang are the same as the east and west cities of Chang'an. They are not open to the public until noon.

When Li Yan and Gong Siguang arrived in Beishi, they saw that the shops were loading goods and preparing for opening in the afternoon, but the wharf of the water transport was still so crowded, and the ships were lined up so densely that they could not be seen at a glance.

Li Yan's face darkened slightly: "It's too crowded here. If it caught fire, wouldn't it burn the boat and destroy everything? Has anything like this happened before?"

In ancient times, because there were too many wooden structures, fires could not be stopped, and they were often extremely tragic.

Just like Famen Temple, it was a first-class royal temple in the Sui Dynasty. As a result, because of a big fire, the temple was completely destroyed, and it was almost reduced to a bare ground. It was gradually rebuilt over the years.

Gong Siguang thought for a while, and immediately stepped forward: "It seems to have been caught on fire, I can't remember clearly, go up and ask!"

Seeing the familiar green horse coming, the officials at the dock rushed forward to say hello: "Morning Wulang!"

Gong Siguang cut to the chase: "Among the cargo on these ships, what's easy to catch fire?"

The official thought he was asking a question, and was a little afraid: "If you go back to Wulang, we have always been fireproof, and that kind of thing will never happen..."

As soon as Li Yan heard it, he knew that there was nothing to ask, so he stepped forward and observed quickly.

Eye consciousness, ear consciousness, and nose consciousness cooperated fully, checking the situation of each boat, listening to the boatman's conversation, and smelling strange smells.

Soon, Li Yan locked on to a ship: "What's in it?"

Gong Siguang shouted: "Quickly check."

The officials checked really quickly, and reported the list of goods one by one. The first one was fine, but when it came to the last item, Li Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Shiqi? Confiscate this kind of goods, you must not follow the These ships come together."

Gong Siguang said: "Go and pick out the ship with stone paint, all the cargo will be unloaded and confiscated!"

The officials did not dare to neglect, and took orders to do it.

Soon the owner of the ship came over and said in a sad voice: "Ah Lang, we are all merchants. These goods have been parked at the pier for several days, and they are finally going ashore. How can they be confiscated? I hope you can accommodate me..."

Gong Si Guang yelled: "I don't care what your goods are! Come on, take them all for me!!"

The officials exchanged glances with each other: "This dude is messing around again..." "Stay with him, we have nothing to do with it!"

Being a dandy has the advantages of being a dandy. At this time, you can't reason slowly, but being unreasonable is the fastest.

Li Yan inspected the boats one by one, picking out all those with potential safety hazards, Gong Siguang followed closely behind, and ordered to take them down.

Frightened by Gong's authority, not only the officials obeyed, but also those unlucky ghosts who were caught did not dare to resist, and the cargo ships came out one after another and rowed to one side.

After checking, Li Yan's face became more serious.

Because these cargo ships loaded with flammable materials vaguely surrounded the rice cargo ships in the center.

He was originally prepared for a fire that was accidentally caused, but now this posture, I am afraid that he is really preparing to burn on purpose, which makes him a little scared.

The burning of the boat was premeditated, and once the thief succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous!

Seeing Gong Siguang walking back and forth, yelling and yelling, trying his best to urge dangerous ships to leave the dock, Li Yan smiled.

Today, a dandy protected Luoyang.
