The convoy turned around again and headed towards Zhaoyangfang. However, as soon as he arrived near the gate of Dongshi, he saw several horse riders running in front of him. The leader was the wine sign that arrived in Chang'an first.

Li Zhen was a little dissatisfied with Jiuzhi. He sent him as the pioneer and came to Chang'an to handle the matter first. He didn't even arrange his own residence, which almost made him humiliated. Li Zhen asked with a calm face: "Jiu Captain, where is my residence?"

Jiu Zhi understood why Li Zhen was angry. He was almost worried about this matter. It was useless to yell at Zhou Yaosi. He was kicked out by him. Jiu Zhi said helplessly: "After reporting to the general about the official residence, my subordinates have arranged a mansion in Xuanyangfang, not far from Sister Quan's place. Please stay first."

Li Zhen glared at him and then ordered: "Go to Xuanyangfang!"

A group of carriages rushed towards Xuanyangfang. Soon, they stopped slowly in front of a large mansion. The mansion looked very new, with a high courtyard wall and covering an area of ​​thirty or forty acres.

"Did you rent this?" Li Zhen pointed at the mansion with a horse whip and asked.

Jiuzhi quickly smiled and said, "This is borrowed by a friend of Sister Quan. I said there is no problem living for half a year."

"Which friend is it? Do you know the second brother of Jiu?" Di Yan suddenly asked from the side.

When Jiuzhi heard Di Yan call him Jiu Er brother for the first time, he was shocked and happy, and his fat body trembled. He secretly glanced at Li Zhen, and saw that he didn't seem to care, and hurriedly said, "Miss Di, no! No! Mrs. Qibing, it seems to be a friend of Sister Quan's business, and she has a lot of connections in Chang'an, so I don't know much about it."

Di Yan nodded and smiled at Li Zhen and said, "Husband, then let's stay first!"

Li Zhen didn't want to make trouble anymore, and immediately said to everyone: "Let's stay first!"

Everyone walked into the mansion one after another, and Li Zhen asked Jiuzhi again, "Where is my eldest sister? Why didn't I see her?"

"Sister Quan went to Lingzhou Manor and should have come back in the past two days. She said she had received a big business and went to Lingzhou Wine Cellar to pick up the goods."

Li Zhen did not ask much, and walked into the central hall. Several scholars and Jiuzhi followed in. Li Zhen asked everyone to sit down. Then he asked Jiuzhi and said, "Tell me what you know."

Jiuzhi glanced at everyone and saw that Li Zhen didn't seem to care about everyone's presence, so he had to report: "In fact, Chang'an is like Luoyang, controlled by several major forces. In the officialdom, Jingzhao Yin and Xijing are left behind, and under the officialdom is the world of Guanlong nobles, including Jingzhao Mansion, which is also controlled by Guanlong nobles. Among the Guanlong nobles, Dugu and Changsun clans are mainly the leaders of the alliance. The other Dou family, Yuan family, Yu family, Zhao family, etc. are all attached to these two families."

After pausing, Jiu Zhi stuttered again: "I heard that Dugu seems to support King Luling, while Changsun supports King Xiang, but this is just a rumor, and I have no conclusive evidence."

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Tell me about Zhou Yaosi!"

When Li Zhen mentioned that 'Zhou was about to die', Jiu Zhi was angry and did not make a fuss. He said viciously: "This bastard is Wu Sansi's confidant. He relied on Wu Sansi's power to act as a blessing in Chang'an, bullying men and women, and not paying money to go to brothels-"

Zhang said, "Puff!" and laughed out loud. Li Zhen held back his laughter and said, "Stop talking nonsense, tell the point!"

Jiuzhi also knew that he had made a mistake and said what he was thinking. He blushed and quickly said, "I asked Zhou Yaosi to arrange the official residence, but he said the property was tight! He really had no choice but to ask me to find Jingzhao Yin. How could I go to find Jingzhao Yin? I said I knew there were many houses closed and asked him to pack up one. I gave him a list at that time, but he was so angry that he drove me out of the government office."

“Where is the list?”

Jiu Zhi took out a list from his arms and handed it to Li Zhen, saying proudly: "This is what I got from Liu Shenjun. Others are pretty good, and they have helped me a lot in secret."

Li Zhen took the list and looked at it. He found that there seemed to be a large house in Chongrenfang that didn’t look like a house, so he asked, “What’s going on in Xuanpingfang?”

"That's not a residence, it's a large warehouse that stores more than 100,000 stones of grain. All the military rations in Xijing are supplied by this granary."

Li Zhen walked a few steps behind his hands and asked again: "Does all the generals of the garrison in Xijing obey Zhou Yaosi's military orders?"

"This is not necessarily the case. It is mainly because there is no deputy left behind for more than a year, and Wu Youning doesn't care about Chang'an affairs, so the power in charge of the army was stolen by Zhou. Just the day before yesterday, Zhou was dying and summoned the generals of the army to speak out, forcing them to completely obey their orders, otherwise he would deal with it one by one."

Li Zhen sneered, "It seems that he really wants to give me a warning, but this is fine, everyone can tear off their faces."

He immediately said to Chen Zi'ang: "Please ask Mr. Chen to write me an impeachment memorial. Impelled Zhou Yaosi to act as an arbitrary act. I moved into the county prince's mansion without authorization. I wrote three memorials, one for the Ministry of War, one for the Prime Minister Di, and another for the Imperial Book Station."

Chen Zi'ang bowed with fists and said, "I understand, I'll write it."

Li Zhen then said to Jiuzhi: "Call all brothers and fight with me."

After pausing, he said to Zhang again: "Please go to Dugu Mansion. Please give him the safety of my mansion."

Zhang explained what Li Zhen meant. Mrs. Di was very skilled in martial arts and did not need protection. The general did this, but in fact, he gave the Dugu family an explanation.

"I know, let's go now!"

He turned around and left, and Li Zhen immediately led a hundred personal guards and cavalry toward Xuanpingfang like a gust of wind...

The large warehouse in Xuanpingfang was originally a seed granary of the imperial court Sinong Temple, covering an area of ​​100 acres and consisting of more than 30 huge granaries. Each granary can store 10,000 stones of grain. Since Sinong Temple moved to Luoyang, this grain warehouse was assigned to Xijing to stay behind as the garrison of Xijing.

Usually about 300 soldiers were stationed in the guards, led by a school captain. Soon, Li Zhen led a hundred personal guards to rush into Xuanpingfang and rushed directly to the gate of the grain warehouse. His personal guards had all experienced the blood baptism of the Liaodong battle, and seemed even more murderous.

The alarm bell in the grain warehouse was ringing, and dozens of soldiers stood on the high warehouse wall, looking nervously at the more than a hundred cavalry below. They didn't know what had happened, and everyone was uneasy.

At this time, Li Zhen pointed to the city with a sword and shouted sternly: "I am the newly appointed Li Zhen, the left-behind Xijing. Who is your chief general? Come and see me quickly!"

After a moment, the warehouse gate slowly opened, and several officials ran out, led by a captain, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I am the grain warehouse guard Chen Duo, see General Li!"

The two civil officials behind were the chief clerk and the army of the Cangcao. Both bowed and bowed, "See General Li."

Li Zhen originally thought that he would take some battle to seize the grain warehouse, but he didn't expect it to be taken down so easily, which means that these three civil and military officials are not Zhou Yaosi's people, and it also means that Zhou Yaosi's mediocrity and incompetence, and that he is not in control of such an important grain warehouse in his own hands?

"Please get up, please take me into the grain warehouse!"

The three officials stood up and took Li Zhen and a hundred cavalry into the grain warehouse. Chen Duo pointed to the grain warehouse and introduced to Li Zhen: "There are thirty-four granaries in total, but only twenty-one granaries have grain, about 150,000 stones. There are empty warehouses in the outer circle, and the grain is all in the warehouse inside."

Li Zhen is not interested in inspecting the grain warehouse at present. He wants to control the army by controlling the grain. After all, Zhou Yaosi has been in power for more than a year, and many generals have been forced to be loyal to him. If Li Zhen cannot control the military power, then his deputy left-behind Xijing is a decoration.

He asked, "How to supply grain to each army?"

"According to the general, food is supplied every ten days, the generals of each army must write an application. After Zhou Changshi approved it, they came to collect the food. According to the time, it will be time for food to be released tomorrow."

Li Zhen immediately said coldly: "From now on, without my signature, no grain is allowed. Have you heard that?"...

Zhou Yaosi didn't know that Li Zhen had occupied the grain warehouse at this time, and in fact he didn't care about this matter. Liu Shenjun brought him extremely bad news. Li Zhen thought that he was overethical and moved into the prince's official residence as a fourth-rank official. Zhou Yaosi was so scared that he ran back to move the house in a hurry. He temporarily found a ten-acre house and wanted to move the house overnight.

Zhou Yaosi knew the consequences very well. Once Li Zhen impeached him, he was stared at by the Censorate. Losing his official position is a minor matter, and losing his life is a major matter. He complained in his heart and directed his family to pack boxes overnight. Just as Zhou Yaosi escorted a cart of boxes from the mansion, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Soon the horse ran to the front door, and a man turned over and dismounted and shouted, "Zhou Changshi!"

Zhou Yaosi walked in with a lantern, recognized him as King Liang's family, and had sent him a letter to himself before. He was shocked, "Why, did King Liang send a letter?"

?p>The man who sent the letter took out a letter and handed it to him, "This is your highness's urgent letter to the Chief Secretary, please check it out!"

Zhou Yaosi took the letter and handed the lantern to the maid next to him. He opened the letter and read it at the lantern, and couldn't help but complain secretly. The tone of King Liang's letter in the letter was very tough, and he ordered him not to hand over military power to Li Zhen, and that Li Zhen must be completely wiped out.

It was easy to say, but what he did? A small official residence storm made him feel embarrassed. If he wanted to fight against Li Zhen, wouldn’t he torture himself to death? But he had to follow the order of King Liang and he had to sigh and said to the sender: “Go back and tell King Liang, I will do it.”

The next morning, a small commotion occurred outside the grain warehouse located in Xuanpingfang. Hundreds of grain trucks were piled up at the gate, and hundreds of soldiers were waiting anxiously outside. After a moment, an officer came out of the grain warehouse with helpless expressions and said to the grain soldiers: "Go back! This matter must be resolved by General Lin."

This is just a batch of grain transport fleets. Then the second batch and the third batch of grain transport fleets arrived, and the same result was obtained. The new Xijing left behind and the left-behind food was not issued, and the grain must be applied again.

Soon, more than a dozen cavalrymen rushed into Xuanpingfang like lightning. The leader was a general of the commander, Lin Shaotong, the commander of the army stationed in Daming Palace. He had more than a thousand soldiers under his command. He was the first to come to collect food in the morning, but was rejected.

Lin Shaotong immediately understood what happened. Li Zhen stuck the food. If they didn't turn to him, they would not have thought of receiving a grain of food. If there was no food today, the soldiers would have to stop cooking tomorrow. The consequences were very serious. Lin Shaotong had to come and express his opinion.

He also admired Li Zhen's methods very much. He started with food and stuck the necks of each army, and everyone could not give in. Compared to Zhou Yaosi's harsh voices, Li Zhen's unspoken wrists were much better than him. From this incident, it can be seen that Zhou Yaosi would definitely lose in this battle.

Lin Shaotong was led into the grain warehouse by soldiers and brought to the grain warehouse lobby. This was the office of civil servants, but a large group of craftsmen were busy modifying what?

Lin Shaotong stepped forward and knelt on one knee, "Lin Shaotong meets General Li!"

"You are Lin Duwei of the Daming Palace, and you have been reliant on it for a long time."

Li Zhen quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "I originally planned to call everyone to discuss the matter of the new government office last night, but last night was quite in a hurry, let's go tomorrow! Everyone is here to get together."

"What new official office?" Lin Shaotong asked in confusion.
