Using the soldiers from the Forward Battalion to guard the city gate and the Anbei Protectorate, and patrolling the streets, Luo Xibing was left with only more than ten followers who had originally followed him. But even so, he not only did not worry about his safety, but instead wandered around the city. He suddenly seized the military power of the Forward Battalion, and the top and bottom were not convinced by him, but he did not let the soldiers run for him, and the tasks assigned were closely related to the city defense and security, and even if the civil and military officials and civilians in the Anbeiya City were still hostile to him, they could not provoke the sting.

So, at noon that day, Luo Xibing took two followers and directly took the two merchants to the gate of Anbei Da Protectorate, which immediately caused a stir. The officials, civilians and soldiers who came here to do business also gathered around to watch the fun. Under the subtle influence of their respective bosses, most of them made up their minds. If the censor from Chang'an finds fault, then scold them in public, so that they will not come to Taiwan and go back to Chang'an in shame

In front of everyone, when several officials led by Zhang Xing hurriedly came out in the Anbei Protectorate, Luo Xibing asked someone to push the two miserable businessmen to the ground and said lightly: "These two Xi people are called business in Beicheng, but they are actually planning to be ill."

When Zhang Xing heard Luo Xibing deducting the two of them such a crime as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Luo Shiyu have any evidence?"

"Of course," Luo Xibing was prepared and signaled a person on the left to take out a thick book and hand it to Zhang Xing in public. "I have been inquiring for several days. The two Xi merchants stayed in Anbeiya tent city for half a year. In the past six months, they have purchased a total of 1,000 war horses, and used to trade grain and pig iron from Hebei Road. Although our Tang Dynasty never controlled the flow of grain and pig iron, they were Hu households, but they privately transported grain and salt iron here, but resold the war horses back. No matter what, they are ulterior motives."

As soon as these words were said, there was silence on all sides. Luo Xibing thought that he was right and everyone could not argue, but just as he cleared his throat and wanted to continue talking, Zhang Xing suddenly coughed louder than him.

In front of the officials and civilians around, the Shishi, the head of the Anbei Protectorate who had been with Du Shiyi for the longest time, said slowly: "Luo Shiyu's seriousness is really admirable. However, the Anbei Protectorate is lonely in the north of the world, with no shortage of meat, and vegetables can also be grown in the city. However, in the past, the grain was only transported from Shuofang, Hedong and Hebei. If you want to work to send civil servants in the court, then transporting a pound of grain, the footwork and money spent on the road and the food eaten may cost three pounds, or even more. I wonder if Luo Shiyu knows this?"

Seeing Luo Xibing stunned for a moment, Zhang Xing knew that this person had never been a real people-friendly official and was born in a well-off society. He was just heard about these financial plans, so he smiled tolerantly: "So you said that they transported the food here from afar. This is very inaccurate. What they sent were just excellent seeds from all over the world to prepare for cultivation and planting in Anbei Protectorate. Now, within a radius of 500 miles of Anbei Protectorate, in addition to the major ranches, there is also a considerable amount of arable land. The amount of food transported from outside is very small, because the staple food here is meat and dairy products, and the most transported goods are tea, not the food you mentioned.

As for salt and iron, Luo Shiyu must have made a mistake. My Tang Dynasty was not as strictly prohibited from private salt and iron, just like the Han Dynasty. The salt was sent by Yantun in Youzhou, Hebei Province, but to slightly supplement the shortcomings of the salt pond here. Every year, merchants from all over the world sent only thousands of kilograms, not much. As for iron, I think Luo Shiyu has been to every place in Anbeiya City these days. In addition to the military weapon station for repairing weapons, have you seen any places where you need to cast weapons with iron?"

From the founding of the Tang Dynasty to the present, salt and iron did not take the form of official sales like the Han Dynasty and later generations. Instead, the officials and the people shared their benefits and operated them loosely. Whether it was the government or the people, they all felt that it was convenient and affordable. Therefore, after Zhang Xing explained this joint clearly, a burst of cheers came from all around him, but they were all for Luo Xibing.

Since Zhang Xing had chosen to let Luo Xibing not come to Taiwan in public, of course he would not give up. He looked around and reached out to press down. When the surroundings gradually became quiet, he said with a smile to Luo Xibing, who looked extremely ugly, "I think you have not found a place to cast weapons. In other words, everything in Anbei Protectorate is in accordance with the rules and never crossed the slightest. As for the Xi people who said that the Xi people trade war horses back to Hebei Road, this is really a bit aside. Youyan war horses are all famous. Whether it is the Khitan or the Xi tribe, other things may be incomplete, but there is never a shortage of war horses. The two Xi tribe merchants you mentioned sell war horses..."

After a moment of saliva, Zhang Xing walked to the two tied merchants, reached out and patted them gently on their shoulders, and said meaningfully: "You two are you talking clearly, who are you hoarding war horses for?"

"It's Marshal An, we are the war horses purchased by Marshal An, the governor of Pinglu Hedong, Fanyang."

Luo Xibing suddenly opened his mouth and screamed when he heard the person who was patted by Zhang Xing. He felt a loud noise in his mind, and then his scalp numb. He just wanted to use this to confirm that Du Shiyi had colluded with some people in Hebei Road, but he didn't expect that the Xi man who refused to express his words in front of him just now immediately spit out the name An Lushan as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was Li Linfu's confidant at that time. Of course, he knew that An Lushan had been expanding his strength, so it would be natural to accumulate war horses. But An Lushan and Du Shiyi had no friendship. Could it be that there was a collusion between these two?

Now that things have come to this point, Luo Xibing has just lost his sense of accomplishment because of finally finding out such a thing, and replaced it with deep doubts. He did not care about the whispers around him and Zhang Xing's meaningful smile. He snorted coldly and took the follower away. He walked out not long, and he heard a burst of laughter and complaints burst out from the crowd.

"Tian Khan is really confused. He actually picked such a person to the Anbei Protectorate"

"That's right, isn't it said that the general was thoroughly investigated? How to investigate a businessman? I think he is just here to find fault."

"Zhang Changshi is a good person. The general is not here, but he cannot weaken the majesty of the Anbei Protectorate."

Luo Xibing's face turned pale when he heard this, but after Li Linfu died of illness, the Li party was almost completely liquidated. He had been stepped into the mud and was used to such ridicule.

When he quickly walked out of the street in front of the Anbei Protectorate's Palace, he took a deep breath and said to his left and right without looking back: "Let them underestimate me. As long as they think I am here to find fault, they don't care about the incident of Du Shiyi being attacked, it will be convenient for people to secretly investigate. Since Du Shiyi was leading troops outside and avoided him, I will be spending time with his people. Once the report I sent back to Chang'an received the reply from His Majesty, Du Shiyi, the Anbei Protectorate, will be the end of the year."

Although he was an unpopular guest, Luo Xibing still understood a little clearly - although many people in Anbeiya City lacked the respect for the king, and even people criticized Li Longji for being confused and more people scoffed at him, the officials and people here did not really have a rebellious heart, but for him, who is the most likely to frame the crime, there was no psychological burden to falsely report the situation.

He was not worried that Du Shiyi would send someone to rob the messenger he sent back to Chang'an, because all these people were given to him by Yang Guozhong. Even the order of sending the letter back to Chang'an was arranged in advance. As long as Du Shiyi really intercepted one of them, he would definitely be beaten to rebel. So he distorted Zhang Xing's words from beginning to end, and after he rushed back to Chang'an to report the message, he decided to simply go all out.

Since Du Shiyi happened to be sending troops out and was reluctant to come back after a victory over Kias, he simply sacrificed his life to be greater than a match even if the person who stayed in Anbeiya tent killed him in anger, his life would not be ruined in vain.

After arousing the anger of the people with those words before, when he returned to the inn, Luo Xibing said in a deep voice: "Pack up your things, from now on, we will move to the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion to live."

In the backyard of Anbei Protectorate, Yu Nu had been delaying here for ten days. Although she cherished this rare time she had spent with Wang Rong, she still keenly realized that the sudden Luo Xibing brought heavy pressure to Anbei Protectorate. Therefore, whenever someone comes to report important things outside, she will obediently avoid it, and most of the time she chooses to stay in the house to think about the music scores he composed during the years he went to the Western Regions. Unlike her choreographed the song of Nishang and Yuyi, she also interpreted many Taoist songs in the palace. Now she is in a free mood and is determined to make a battle song. When humming, she is naturally a unique majestic.

At this moment, just as she used the Jie drum to demonstrate one of the most intense melody of the advance, she suddenly saw Mo Xie quickly stepping into the house. Before she could even avoid it, Mo Xie said in a deep voice: "Madam, Luo Xibing brought his entourage and said that there were suspicious people in the inn and asked to move into the Anbei Protectorate."

"Finally come." Wang Rong nodded and told Yu Nu to be calm, then stood up and said, "Let Qijun go and settle him in person, and then tell Longquan that the teeth soldiers in the Protectorate's Palace strengthen patrols, so that the Luo Shiyu feels that the Anbei Protectorate's Palace is prepared for him."
