"I've met the Minister of Dali Temple." Zhao Rui first saluted and said, "I've come to talk to Patriarch Li about something."

Li Ran said indifferently to Zhao Rui, "That's the arrangement. I can lend you the money, but the bank will pay for it."

"Let me take my leave first, and wait for the good news." Zhao Rui took a look at Di Renjie and left. He couldn't listen to his family affairs, otherwise it would be impolite.

"What is he here for?" Di Renjie was puzzled.

"The second son of Zhao wants to reorganize Guanlong, and he doesn't have much money in his hand." Li Ran said.

"Sister, I brought you some silk and satin. There are Jiangnan merchants in the village who do business. These are high-quality silk." Li Wan'er said.

"Sister, I don't need you to buy more here. You and Di Renjie can live a good life." Li Ran asked his sister, "How are you these days? Are you still dizzy?"

"I don't feel dizzy anymore." Li Wan'er said, "Besides, Old Immortal Sun told me that it's good to eat more food that nourishes qi and blood, and the teacher and his family take good care of us."

Li Ran nodded and looked at Di Renjie who was beside him, "Di Renjie, have you heard of Wang Xie Yuanxiao?"

Di Renjie thought for a while and said: "Wang Xie Yuanxiao, the four powerful families, they have been established since the Han Dynasty. At the time when the East and West were divided into Jin Dynasty, their aristocratic heritage cannot be admired by the five surnames. After the war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this The vitality of the four major families was greatly injured, and they have declined since then. After that, they became the five surnames who successfully joined the team at the beginning. I am not very clear about their whereabouts now."

Li Ran said, "I have paid attention to Zhao Rui in the past few years. Zhao Rui has left most of the Central Plains. He made friends with Wang Xie and Yuan Xiao. These four families are now in the south of the Yangtze River. It's just that their power is not as good as before, but after all, they are the original four. Although everyone's strength is not there now, the background is still there."

Hearing this, Di Renjie said doubtfully, "Since Zhao Rui has already made friends with these four great masters, why did he come to ask his sister to borrow money?"

Li Ran smiled slightly, "It's just a poor second son of Zhao, who would be willing to give money to a person with no future, Zhao Rui knew this better in his heart, so he asked me to borrow money, and with my money he can make Some results, and thus he will go to the Four Great Masters to borrow money, and the Four Great Masters will lend him the money."

Di Renjie listened to the reason.

"No one lends money to him for nothing. Those guys are all good people. The money they borrowed must be repaid, not only to recover their own capital, but also interest! All they want is more. "

After Li Ran finished speaking, Di Renjie looked at her, "What does sister want?"

"I value their Guanlong mine, and I use the mine as collateral." Li Ran picked up Di Renjie's child and sat down, saying, "Your son's eyes are like yours, and his nose is like my sister's."

"If Zhao Rui returns the money to you, then the mine is not in my sister's hands."

"He won't pay it back." Li Ran said confidently.

"Why?"

"You have to ask your teacher, your teacher will tell you." Li Ran teased the child in his arms.

Li Wan'er saw that her sister liked children so much, everyone is a woman, Li Ran gave up the marriage for her own family, gave up the opportunity to be a wife, she admired her sister from the bottom of her heart for making such a decision, the sister who just became the head of the Li family It was hard, before Gu Qing helped, I was fidgeting every day.

Chapter 952 Who won?

In Changsun's house, tea is being boiled on a small clay stove beside it, and the place is so quiet that one can hear the sound of boiling and tumbling tea.

An Huang sat in front of Changsun Wuji and said, "The sound outside is very bad. According to the investigation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there is nothing wrong with this blood book. It seems that the people doing things are very experienced."

"There is nothing wrong with accusing him of crime. This is Gu Qing's trick. It's not just a few days since Xu Jingzong hated this old man. He has been following this guy many years ago." Changsun Wuji said calmly.

"Zhao Guogong, I don't know if I should say something or not." An Huang looked at Changsun Wuji's expression.

"Say." Changsun Wuji said.

An Huang took a deep breath before speaking, "Mr. Zhao, step back. Some things are still the trend of the times and cannot be stopped."

"Why? Do you think you can blame the old man?"

"I dare not." An Huang lowered his head.

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly, "The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them away. Many people have lost contact with this old man, but you are the only one who will come to see this old man."

"Zhao Guogong! You are already helpless." An Huang said.

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, "I know."

"Then why do you have to support it so hard? Could it be that Zhao Guogong really wants to replace Gu Qing?" An Huang asked.

"Gu Qing must be right? He empties the imperial power! If the emperor loses absolute rule like this, the world will be in chaos!" Changsun Wuji said, "If the old man retreats now, the Changsun family will bear the responsibility of Gu Qing out of thin air. The fabricated charges are not because the old man is unwilling to retreat, but because Xu Jingzong and Gu Qing make the old man have no way out!"

As he spoke, the chopsticks in Changsun Wuji's hand were snapped off and thrown into the clay oven beside him.

"No!" An shook his head, "Mr. Zhao, you have a choice. The royal family will not allow the eldest grandson's family to bear this crime. At least there is still a choice. If something really happens at Yumen Pass, then you really have no choice. It’s still too late for everything.”

Changsun Wuji was quiet for a while.

An Huang went on to say, "Mr. Zhao! Don't hesitate any longer, every hour of delay will be more beneficial to Xu Jingzong!"

The attendant standing aside saw Changsun Wuji's hand trembling, but he immediately grabbed his trembling hand, and it was obvious that Changsun Wuji was really panicked at this moment.

"The old man raised you up and sent you to the academy not to teach the old man here." Changsun Wuji stared at An Huang, "You are the ones that the old man pulled together, and you have to help the old man with things!"

An Huang stood up angrily and pointed at Changsun Wuji and said angrily, "Zhao Guogong, why are you so obsessed! Is power really more important to you than the entire Changsun family? In your eyes, it will always be others' fault, have you thought about it?" Why did Chang Sun Chong turn against you! Have you ever thought about others?"

"You are presumptuous!" Changsun Wuji glared at An Huang angrily.

"There is no cure, Di Renjie is right!" An Huang turned and left.

Changsun Wuji watched An Huang leave and closed his eyes, but with a smile on his face, like a hunter catching prey.

"Is there anything happy about the Patriarch?" The attendant at the side was puzzled.

"Gu Qing is about to lose." Changsun Wuji took a teapot of boiling water from the clay stove and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

The attendants on the side were surprised that Changsun Wuji's expression would suddenly become joyful. If he acted out Changsun Wuji's reaction these days, everyone would have thought that Changsun Wuji had nothing to do, but it happened that everything was arranged by him. How terrifying is Changsun Wuji if he has a backhand and arranges people's hearts to such an extent.

An Huang returned to his mansion, sold the mansion, returned all the belongings to the eldest grandson's family, and prepared to leave Chang'an with the package.

Di Renjie, who just came back from Li Ran, bumped into An Huang, saw him carrying a burden and asked suspiciously, "Are you leaving?"

"Changsun Wuji disappointed me so much, his obsession will destroy him one day." An Huang said with his head bowed.

"Calm down." Di Renjie said.

"I... In my heart, I have always regarded Changsun Wuji as my greatest benefactor. This experience let me know that the court is unaccompanied. I am not suitable for this place. I want to go back to the Hexi Corridor. Going back to my own clan, I believe that with what I have learned from the academy, I can make my own way." An Huang looked at Di Renjie solemnly, "Thank you for what you said to me a while ago."

Di Renjie didn't say goodbye. An Huang left Chang'an and wanted to return to the big interest group Zhaowu Nine Surnames. The teacher was very concerned about Zhaowu Nine Surnames. This clan was not from Guanzhong. In the meantime, today's Zhaowu nine surnames have just come into being. An Huang is a capable person and a knowledgeable person. He can graduate after just two or three years of study in the academy, and then enter the imperial examination room to become a servant , progress is leaps and bounds.

What's more, this person has the most avant-garde knowledge in the academy. If this person returns to the Zhaowu Nine Surnames, it is very likely that the Zhaowu Nine Surnames will grow stronger.

Di Renjie thought of this and beckoned the small official from Dali Temple not far away.

"What is the order of Dali Siqing?"

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "Send my spies to follow up with this man named An Huang, and report to me all the progress of Zhaowu's nine surnames in the future."

"Yes!" The little official left in a hurry.
