Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"What is Cui Shijie, who dares to bully our Ministry of Industry?"

"He is a Chang'an order, why dare to ask about the Ministry of Industry?"

"A mere fifth-rank Chang'an decree, how can it be able to dictate to the third-rank Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry? When our Ministry of Industry is dead?"

Looking at the menacing officials of the Ministry of Industry and then at Duan Lun, Li Junxian couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't say much, preparing to lead them to the West Market.

Suddenly thought of something, Li Junxian paused, and said solemnly: "Everyone, wait a moment, I'm going down to the Ministry of War."

After finishing speaking, Li Junxian quickly came to the Ministry of War, and went straight to the lobby of the Ministry of War. Seeing Li Jing sitting behind a few desks, drinking tea while reading official documents, he cupped his hands and said, "Li Shangshu, I have something to tell you."

"Guard Li." Li Jing put down the official document in his hand and looked at him curiously, "What's the matter?"

Li Junxian said solemnly: "The one thousand elite soldiers you selected were beaten in West Market."

"???" Li Jing stared at him blankly, "Have the Turkic soldiers reached Chang'an?"

The [-] elite soldiers he selected were all battle-tested and powerful soldiers.

If anyone could defeat them, Li Jing couldn't think of anyone other than the fully armed Turkic soldiers.

Li Junxian shook his head hurriedly, and told him exactly what happened in Xishi.

After hearing what he said, Li Jing's expression changed slightly, he stood up abruptly, walked quickly to the outside of the lobby, and shouted loudly: "Everyone from the Ministry of War comes here!"

In the blink of an eye, burly figures in robes sprang out of each hall.

"What's wrong, Li Shangshu?"

"Have the Turkic soldiers reached Chang'an?"

Li Junxian couldn't help laughing while listening, how did the people in the military department have such a unified mind?

Li Jing glanced at the dozens of military officials standing in the courtyard, and said with a straight face: "There is something more terrifying than the Turkic soldiers attacking Chang'an!"

"People from our Ministry of War will be detained by the Chang'an Order. After a while, the Chang'an Order will give them a name of treason and arrest them!"

Hearing this, more than a dozen military officials were in an uproar.

"Is Chang'an Ling crazy? Dare to detain someone from our military department?"

"Give our people in the Ministry of War a name of treason? Doesn't that mean that people in our Ministry of War want to rebel? Say Li Shangshu, you want to rebel?"

Hearing the fury of the crowd, Li Jing yelled: "I'm plotting against you, what a fart! I'm full to do this?"

"Minister of the Ministry of War, you take the people from the Ministry of War, and go with me to find Chang'an Ling!"

Li Jing said angrily: "The people from the Ministry of War, can he be arrested by Chang'an Order?"

After the servant of the Ministry of War agreed, Li Jing looked at Li Junxian and said in a deep voice, "Please Li Guards lead the way!"

"Please." Li Junxian arched his hands, and then rushed to the West Market with the Minister of War, the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Rites, and more than 40 officials from the three departments.

In the West Market, Chang'an Ling Cui Shiji waited expressionlessly, but in his heart, he was thinking about another arrangement of his brother.

This time, Wu Xing Qiwang's attack was not just aimed at Xishi. As the center of this conflict, Zuixianlou, how could Wu Xing Qiwang let it go.

Since the west market is in Chang'an County, which Cui Shijie manages, he will do it.

Chapter 71 How Can Zhang Dun's Backstage Be So Hard?

Cui Shijie first indulged more than 1000 ruffians, letting them enter the West Market with sticks in their hands, and beat the people in Zuixianlou.

Those hooligans won the battle, and all the things in Zuixianlou were taken away. After passing through many hands, it was logical that they became the goods of the five surnames and Qiwang.

If the gangsters lost the fight, he would personally come forward to deal with the people in Zuixianlou on the charge of arranging a crowd to fight in a busy city, and then send someone to dispose of the goods.

Of course, this is secondary.

The main thing is to find out from this matter who is actually making things for Zuixianlou.

Only by controlling the people who make things for Zhang Dun can Zhang Dun become a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

At the same time, those who made things for Zhang Dun were threatened and lured, and they were used by the five surnames and Qiwang.

That's their purpose.

The corners of Cui Shijie's mouth turned up slightly. In this way, the three-pronged approach will be considered complete.

"Magistrate Cui, it's not good!"

At this moment, the two yamen servants guarding the entrance and exit of the West Market ran over in a panic.

Cui Shijie looked back, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you panicking?"

"Someone is here—" one of the yamen servants' throat moved, and his voice trembled: "That guy from Zuixianlou called someone here!"

Call me when you call, why are you in such a panic, Cui Shijie looked at the two in confusion.

Before he could inquire, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded in his ears.

"Where is the person surnamed Cui? Where is he standing?"

A burst of shouting suddenly resounded through the streets of West Market.

Cui Shijie stared in shock at the dozen or so figures running from the entrance and exit of the West Market.

The person at the head is wearing a purple official robe and a gold and jade belt around his waist!

An official of the third rank? !

Cui Shijie only felt his hair stand on end, and recognized him at a glance, Dou Lukuan, Minister of Rites!

Why did he come to West Market?

What shocked Cui Shijie even more was that there were five people following Dou Lukuan!

Everyone is wearing light scarlet official robes and gold belts around their waists!

Cui Shijie gasped, what kind of battle is this? !

Dou Lukuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, lives in the third rank of the official residence.

The Minister of Rites is the fourth grade.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites is from the fifth rank!

The doctor of the temple department is from the fifth rank!

The food department doctor is from the fifth grade!

The host and guest doctor are from the fifth grade!

Not counting the few Yuanwailang from the sixth rank and the master from the eighth rank who followed.

Cui Shijie thought he couldn't afford to offend any of the five officials in front of him, headed by Minister of Rites Dou Lukuan!

"Shangshu Doulu..."

Cui Shijie hurriedly cupped his hands and walked over, but within a few steps, he suddenly found more than a dozen people coming from a distance.

The leader is wearing a purple official robe with a gold and jade belt!

Cui Shijie couldn't help rubbing his eyes, thinking he was dazzled.

After seeing it clearly, Cui Shijie gasped again. Isn't this Duan Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry? !

Behind him, followed closely by five figures in crimson official uniforms and gold belts around their waists.

Cui Shijie stood there in a daze.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry, fourth-rank official!

Gongbu Langzhong Cong Wupin!

Tuntian doctor from the fifth grade!

Yubu doctor from the fifth grade!

Mizube doctor from the fifth grade!

Behind them, followed by Yuanwailang from the sixth rank and several principals from the eighth rank.

How come all the ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry came out? !

Cui Shijie opened his mouth, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long while.

At this moment, Cui Shijie suddenly discovered that there were more than a dozen people following behind the Ministry of Industry and the others!

"Li, Li Jing?"

Cui Shijie opened his eyes wide and looked in disbelief at the stern figure in the purple official uniform.

Minister of the Ministry of War Li Jing!

Behind him, followed by the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Langzhong of the Ministry of War, the doctor of the Staff Fang, the doctor of the Driving Department, and the doctor of the Treasury Department, all wearing light crimson official robes.

There are also members from the military department Uiro and the principals.

Cui Shijie looked at the crowd in bewilderment.

There are three ministers, three ministers, twelve three ministers, twelve Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, and twelve chief ministers of the three departments.

A total of 42 people!

Cui Shijie felt that his whole body was split apart. He had never seen such a big battle in Chang'an County since he became an official.

Who sent them here? This is it?

What are they doing in Xishi together?

Cui Shijie's expression suddenly changed slightly. He is the only official in Xishi at this moment!

And seeing them all looking at him unkindly, could it be that they are here for him?

It shouldn't be!

When did you provoke them?

Um?etc!Cui Shijie was shocked. The head of the county yamen servant said just now that the staff from Zuixianlou had called someone.

They are the ones who co-authored it?

A sense of absurdity rose in Cui Shijie's heart.

A fellow from Zuixianlou called the ministers from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, the assistant minister, the doctor, Yuanwailang, and the principal...

It's almost time to call all civil and military officials to come!

Cui Shijie took a deep breath, suppressed the confusion in his heart, hurried up to meet him, cupped his hands and said:

"The next official ordered Cui Shijie to meet Doulu Shangshu, Duan Shangshu, Li Shangshu, and three servants."

"I've met twelve doctors, twelve Yuanwai Langs, and twelve principals!"

"You pay my respects, I don't dare to be an official!" After he finished complimenting, Dou Lukuan sneered, "I should pay you my respects!"

"County Cui is so powerful!"

"Shangshu, Shilang, Langzhong, Yuanwailang, and principals from the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War under the six ministries are actually going to come and see you!"

"It's been ten years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and this is the first case!"

At the end of Dou Lukuan's speech, his tone became more and more serious, his voice became louder, and his eyes staring at Cui Shijie became more and more unkind.

Those with unfriendly eyes were the Minister of Rites, the doctor, Yuanwai Lang, and the principals who came with him.

Cui Shijie broke out in a cold sweat, his throat moved a few times, a forced smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Shangshu Doulu's words, the officials don't understand."

Dou Lukuan said coldly: "Don't understand? Then I will tell you, you can understand!"

"Did you say that the words written on the Zuixianlou department store are insulting? You want them to come over?"

"Yes..." Cui Shijie subconsciously said.

"That's right!" Dou Lukuan raised his palm, pointed at the dozen or so people standing behind him, and said with a straight face:

"The gentle scum you are looking for is standing in front of you!"

"The words on Zuixianlou Department Store are written by us!"

As soon as the words fell, Duan Lun walked up with a blank face, stared at the pale and bloodless Cui Shijie, and said in a cold tone:

"Magistrate Cui, aren't you looking for the person who made the Zuixianlou Department Store? Everyone standing in front of you has made the Zuixianlou Department Store!"

"..." The sweat on Cui Shijie's forehead kept sliding down his cheeks, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off.
