Tibet

Chapter 183
In the afternoon, Li Ye came to Yonghefang. Near the gate of the workshop, he saw Daye Martial Arts Hall at a glance.

Daye Martial Arts Hall is a martial arts gym jointly opened by Li Ye and Zhang Ping. Zhang Ping contributes and Li Ye contributes money.

The martial arts gym is one of the three major gyms in Chang'an, the music hall, the martial arts hall and the polo hall. There are dozens of martial arts halls with a little reputation in Chang'an.

The prosperity of martial arts is related to the recruiting system that started in the middle Tang Dynasty. Generally, the salary of the recruiting system is relatively high. For example, the Longwu Army is recruiting soldiers.

If the children of ordinary families in Chang’an can’t read well and can’t play polo, they will send their children to the martial arts gym to learn martial arts and take the recruitment examination when they are 17 years old.

Among the various martial arts gyms in Chang'an, they are generally divided into two categories, one is to accept apprentices to earn some tuition fees, and the other is to earn money by doing work outside.

The Daye Martial Arts School is the latter. It accepts apprentices for free, but you have to do things with the owner of the gym. The owner of the gym eats meat, and the disciples can also drink some soup.

At present, there are more than [-] disciples in the Daye Martial Arts Academy. Zhang Ping recruited three local martial arts masters to teach the disciples how to practice martial arts. Sometimes, Zhang Ping's master Pei Min would come to give some advice.

The Daye Martial Arts Museum covers an area of ​​about five acres, just next to the City God. It was originally a furniture shop. Li Ye bought the land for [-] yuan, and Zhang Ping occupied the several-acre vegetable field behind the City God Temple. Yes, I give Miaozhu two money every month, and Miaozhu also turns a blind eye.

When Li Ye entered the martial arts hall, he could only hear the shouts of the disciples practicing boxing. Zhang Ping recruited all of them around fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were all from poor families in a few neighborhoods.

Li Ye stood in front of the window watching a group of disciples practicing martial arts. At this moment, Zhang Ping, a burly and fat man, hurried over.

"Old Li, why are you free to come here today?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "I have something to look for you!"

"Let's talk about it later!"

Zhang Ping took Li Ye to the open space behind, which was the place where Li Ye used to practice martial arts. The land had been leveled, and Zhang Ping built a courtyard wall ten feet high, and set up a tent inside.

"I usually practice martial arts here!"

"Are you practicing hammer?"

Li Ye saw a long-handled copper hammer on the ground, weighing about forty catties.

"Hammers, maces, spikes, etc., I practice, mainly at night, sometimes the master will come."

Li Ye nodded and sat down. Zhang Ping poured him a bowl of herbal tea and said with a wry smile: "A few days ago I went to the countryside with Zuoxian Wei to prevent the two villages from fighting for water and weapons. Same, I only made [-] pennies, and last night I helped a wealthy businessman to collect debts, and I made [-] pennies with a few tricks, the arrangements for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are full, and I am very busy recently."

"Did Li Xun look for you? The Anranju restaurant in the west market was harassed and even threw cow dung into the well. It's bad!"

Zhang Ping nodded, "He looked for me, and the investigation is almost done. The three little rascals were caught by us, and they were beaten up. It was Changfeng Restaurant who paid these three rascals to do dirty things. Tomorrow I will I will bring someone to accompany Uncle Xiao to the door to ask for an explanation."

"There are several Changfeng restaurants in Chang'an! What's the background?"

"Yuwen's restaurant!"

"Yuwen's family?"

Li Ye was startled, "It's such a coincidence, I'm looking for you to talk about the Yuwen family."

Zhang Ping asked puzzledly, "What happened?"

"Have you heard about the Pingkangfang murder case? What happened a few days ago."

Zhang Ping nodded, "I have heard that he is the son of a senior official in Dali Temple."

Li Ye said lightly: "This case is more complicated. Let me put it simply. This case was actually planned by the Yang family. It was targeted at my grandfather and blamed on me. I became a suspect. Now I'm fine. Can't swallow."

Zhang Ping widened his eyes and said: "I understand, you are going to deal with the Yang family?"

Li Ye shook his head, "Now that the Yang family has the support of the emperor, it is easy to deal with them, but it will bring disaster to my family. I will not move them for the time being. My goal is the Yuwen family."

Zhang Ping also knows that this kind of matter has a huge background, and it's not that he, a small person, can intervene, and he can just do things.

"Tell me! What do you want me to do?"

"I want you to send your disciples to monitor two people for me. One is Yuwen Siwu, and Yuan Xiao from the Yuan family. He used to be Yuwen Siwu's military adviser. I don't know anymore. I just want to know if they are still fooling around together now." That's it."

Zhang Ping nodded, "This is easy, I will arrange it tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow, go to Changfeng Restaurant to ask for an explanation. I'll just go, and you can leave it alone."

Li Ye was not interested in this matter at first, but the other restaurant was opened by Yuwen's family, so he couldn't stay out of it.

…………

At noon of the next day, Li Ye accompanied Li Wei to the Changfeng Restaurant in Xishi. Changfeng Restaurant is one of the top ten restaurants in Chang'an. It also has five or six branches in Chang'an. It is owned by the Yuwen family. Changfeng Restaurant is also located on Restaurant Street in Xishi. It happened to be face to face with An Ran Ju Dajiu.

Li Wei whispered to Li Ye: "Changfeng restaurant has a bad reputation among colleagues in Chang'an. Zhang Ping's apprentices were poached by his family. Although they have learned those dishes, they just can't make ours. Taste, the business in the West Market is not as good as ours, it is estimated that they became angry and secretly played tricks, and bribed scoundrels to harass our restaurant."

"Did Uncle Sixteen guess it was them?"

Li Wei nodded, "As soon as it happened, I guessed that they did it!"

When the two entered the restaurant, a bartender greeted them with a smile and said, "Both of you, please go to the second floor, there are seats by the window."

Li Wei said calmly: "I'm looking for shopkeeper Song, he should be here!"

"What's the matter with me?"

The shopkeeper Song Guan stepped forward and recognized Li Wei at a glance. He clasped his fists and said with a smile: "It turns out that Li is in charge, a rare customer! A rare customer!"

Li Wei is currently the chief steward of three restaurants, and he has three shopkeepers under him, who belong to the family representative level and have a higher status than the chief shopkeeper Song Guan.

Song Guan laughed again and said, "Please sit inside!"

Li Wei shook his head and said, "Let me explain the matter clearly to you. The three rogues you bought, Luo Xiaomao, Ma Guojie and Wang Agen, have been caught by us. They confessed that you gave each of them ten pennies to use Pig manure, cow manure to destroy our business.

First, I want you to apologize and promise that similar things will not happen again; second, we were forced to close the store for three days because of this, and lost 750 yuan in three days, and spent [-] yuan to clean the well. You must compensation. "

Song Guan's face darkened, "Who said we ordered it? What evidence do you have? You can just find three little thieves and plant it on us. Can you do whatever you want when you are Yuwen's family?"

The other party's attitude was within Li Ye's expectation, he came out and said coldly: "We are the ones who give courtesy first and then soldiers, if you insist on toasting and not eating fine wine, it's fine, if your Yuwen family can do the first grade of junior high school, our Li family can do it." Fifteen, I'll give you one last chance, do you admit it?"

"Admit it!"

A young man came down from the second floor. He was tall, with a fleshy face and extremely fierce eyes.

It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, and the person who came was none other than Yuwen Siwu who had his leg broken before.

It can be said that enemies met each other, and they were jealous. He stared at Li Ye with a fierce look in his eyes and said, "Even if I did it, so what? Don't think that if you kill Sun Jiliang, I will be afraid of you. When you fall into my hands, I will be afraid of you." Hand, I will let you know what it means not to live, not to die!"

Li Ye stared at Yuwen Siwu for a moment, shook his head, and said to Li Wei: "Uncle Sixteen, let's go!"

Li Wei also knew that Yuwen Siwu was there, so it was impossible to reason.

He nodded and followed Li Ye away.

Song Guan heard that the other party was the main culprit of the murder in Pingkangfang, he was a little scared, and he whispered: "Third Young Master, it is true that we have gone too far, or I should go and talk to them! "

Yuwen Siwu turned around and grabbed his chest, stared at him fiercely and said: "Don't blame me for not warning you, if you dare to admit that you are afraid, I will definitely break your two legs myself!"

Coming out of Changfeng Restaurant, Li Wei said in a low voice: "Nephew, I think it's fine! Anyway, a few scoundrels have been caught, and Changfeng Restaurant will never admit it."

Li Ye said indifferently: "Uncle Sixteen doesn't need to worry about this matter. Within ten days, I will ask Changfeng Restaurant to apologize obediently and double the compensation!"

Li Ye has already seen through, this Yuwen Siwu is Yu Wenjing's liar.
