Chapter 12
Everything sold by the Chu Palace was quickly returned.
Wang Fugui was very sensible. He watched Li Kuan turn his hand to cover the clouds and rain, beating the eldest son's face until it was swollen, and by the way, he also brought a steady stream of "gold mine" to the Prince of Chu's palace.
He immediately sold all the things from Prince Chu's Mansion back to Li Kuan at the original price.
After all this trouble, no one in the Chu palace dared to look down upon Li Kuan anymore.
"Your Majesty, please try the pastries from Dongshi Donghaitang, they are so sweet!"
Bathed in the early spring sunshine, Li Kuan was lying comfortably on the deck chair in the yard, with Qing'er waiting on him.
"Xue Li, has there been any movement in Chang'an City these days? What is everyone busy with?"
Being idle and bored, Li Kuan became somewhat interested in the life of the ancients.
"Your Majesty, if you want to talk about the commotion, naturally our briquettes are making the biggest noise. Although the weather has warmed, the sales of briquettes are actually getting better, and almost every household has begun to use them."
As the new chief security officer of the Chu Palace, Xue Li would also be asked by Li Kuan to pay attention to the movements on the streets of Chang'an City in addition to his normal security work.
To put it bluntly, it means letting him do some intelligence work, but this is still the lowest level of intelligence.
"My lord, the most exciting thing right now is going out for an outing outside the city. How about we go for a walk too?"
Although Qing'er is a few years older than Li Kuan, she looks very active.
However, Li Kuan can understand it very well. Seventeen or eighteen years old is not an active age.
“Just take a look and take a look!”
…
Yuelai Inn.
"Honor, please give me a few more days, and I will pay you the rent in a few days."
A scholar-looking man was begging the innkeeper.
"Wang Langjun, you are not a little old man, I am a snobbish person. Just ask yourself, how many times have you said the same thing? Our store is also a small business. You have been late on rent payment for more than a month. If you don't do anything else,
Hand over, what do you want me to do?"
The shopkeeper had a seemingly honest smile on his face, but his words were not accommodating at all.
"Please be more accommodating. When my brother recovers from his illness, I will definitely pay you double the room fee. Besides, I still have a good horse in the stable. If things don't work out, I can sell the horse to pay back the money."
"Horse? Is that horse still yours? How dare you say that the horse feed for more than a month is free of charge? You mentioned using the horse to pay off the debt last time, and now the horse has nothing to do with you."
The shopkeeper is used to seeing people traveling around, so he can tell the quality of horses.
When the scholar checked into the inn, he discovered that the horse was a rare and good horse.
The Tang Dynasty did not lack horses, but it lacked good horses.
The value of a high-quality horse will definitely not be worse than that of a later generation Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
Therefore, during this period of time, the scholar has been in arrears with the room payment, and he did not try to evict him at first.
Seeing that there was no need to procrastinate any further, I naturally came to my conclusion today.
"You... how could you do this?" The scholar's face turned red with anger, "That horse is a high-quality Dawan horse. Not to mention one month's room fee and horse feed, even one year's is enough.
.”
"Wang Langjun, isn't it appropriate for you to say that? In the past month or so, you have eaten and drank all your food at the inn, right? Didn't the inn help you make your brother's soups? Are these free of charge?
?” The shopkeeper obviously didn’t want to pretend to be a good person anymore.
Scholar's entire net worth has been squeezed out, and there is no need to continue acting.
"you you……"
On the one hand, the scholar felt that he was a little unjust, and on the other hand, he felt that the shopkeeper had evil intentions.
"Wang Langjun, don't say that I don't give you face, little old man. If you two brothers don't get out of this inn within a quarter of an hour, don't blame me for being rude."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned back and looked at the several waiters on both sides. These were all descendants of the same clan brought from his hometown.
I don't think they dare to let them kill people and set fire to them, but if they want to bully a foreigner, there is no problem at all.
During this time, he also saw clearly that this Wang Langjun was completely helpless in Chang'an City, and he also had a sick brother with him.
This person is really unlucky, he can get into anything.
At the beginning, the two brothers were in good health, and the younger brother seemed to be strong and powerful. He carried a bow, arrow and sword with him, and he was not someone to be trifled with at first glance.
But within a few days of staying there, he started to suffer from abdominal pain. Wang Langjun went to see several doctors, but none of them looked good. On the contrary, the pain became more and more serious.
In the past few days, it seems that I am about to die.
That's why the shopkeeper chose today to drive them away.
"You...you are a shady shop! I, Wang Xuance, have never seen anyone with such a shady heart in my whole life! Shopkeeper, I've said something ugly before, don't think I'm easy to mess with, be careful to shoot yourself in the foot.
!”
Wang Xuance was able to become a figure in the Tang Dynasty who could destroy an entire country with one man. Naturally, he was not comparable to an ordinary scholar.
But now that he has a terminally ill brother by his side, everything is at a loss.
"Huh? What is easy to mess with or not? I, the Yuelai Inn, have always followed the rules when opening the business. You haven't paid for the room for more than a month, and I have done my best. Ah San, get them both.
Go out and watch, don't let them take away anything from the inn."
After the shopkeeper said that, he left without looking back!
"Hey! Wang Langjun, I'm offended!"
After Asan finished speaking, he led a few waiters forward and pulled Wang Xuance out.
"Don't touch me, I will leave on my own!"
Wang Xuance was afraid that they would hurt his brother, so he quickly shook off Ah San and carried his brother out of the room.
"Wait a minute, these clothes are still worth some money, let's keep them to use against the rent!"
Ah San saw Wang Xuance picking up the baggage next to him, and felt that there seemed to be room for squeeze.
"These clothes all belong to me, why should I keep them for you?"
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink the wine as a penalty." After Asan said this without saying a word, he went up and snatched the bundle from Wang Xuance's hand, and then kicked Wang Xuance on the buttocks.
Wang Xuance stumbled and almost fell.
Turning around and glaring at Ah San fiercely, Wang Xuance picked up his unconscious brother and left the inn.
There is no way, if a person leaves his hometown, he will come back one day.
…
In March, the streets of Chang'an City became increasingly lively.
Li Shimin has been in office for five years, and the rule of Zhenguan has gradually taken shape.
"Your Majesty, after passing the square in front, we will reach the city gate. We are out of the city." Qing'er happily lifted the curtain on the carriage and looked outside curiously.
Li Kuan tried riding a horse a few days ago, but his inner thighs quickly became red, so he chose to travel by carriage today.
"What happened in front? Why did so many people gather?"
