"Brother Jiang, brother Jiang…"
Cheng Chumo's expression darkened as he watched Jiang Yi ride away. His heart skipped a beat as he thought something bad was about to happen.
"Chumo, Yiai, hurry…"
Li Chengqian was the first to react. He had the most contact with Jiang Yi. Although he usually looked amiable, if he was really in danger, this kid would definitely have a fiery temper.
The three of them quickly jumped onto their black horses and chased all the way to Chang 'an. When they approached the city gate, Li Chengqian hurriedly said,""Chumo, Yiai, the two of you go and stop Jiang Yi first. Don't let him do anything rash. I'll go and inform Imperial Father now. Before I return, you must stop Jiang Yi.”
"Your Highness, we understand."
After the three of them made their agreement, they parted ways at the city gate.
Li Chengqian headed in the direction of the Black Tortoise Sect while Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai headed in the direction of Jiang Yisuo.
Who was Dou Jinghui? How could he not be anxious?
His father was the elder brother of Retired Emperor Li Yuan's wife. That was equivalent to the status of the former uncle of the country, which was also the status of Zhangsun Wuji.
Moreover, Li Er had only been the Emperor for two years, and the entire court was still under Li Yuan's old forces. Other than those who had pledged their loyalty to Li Er, the rest of the people followed the Dou family's lead.
Li Er had planned to wait a few years for the Great Tang's people to recover and for Li Yuan to lose all his prestige before he began to eliminate Li Yuan's stubborn subordinates.
But now was not the time.
Ever since Erguotou became famous in Chang 'an, the wine industry had gradually expanded. The varieties of wine were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Therefore, good wine and bad wine could be sold.
The poor would buy those that were slightly inferior, while the rich would buy some good wine such as Wuliang Liquor and Moutai.
Of course, these were all brewed by Jiang Yi later on, so the taste definitely could not be compared to the later generations.
But even so, it was enough to monopolize all the wine shops in Chang 'an.
Jiang Yi Winery was opened as a direct store in Chang 'an City, with its headquarters in the East City.
On normal days, Butler Jiang would go to the headquarters to check the accounts every three days. Today happened to be the day that Butler Jiang went to check the accounts.
However, at this moment, the attic with the sign of "Wine God Shop" was smashed into pieces, and wine spilled all over the ground. The surroundings were filled with people, most of whom were watching the show.
Butler Jiang, who had been beaten beyond recognition, was lying on the ground. He was barely breathing, but there was still a cold smile on his lips."You…So what if your Dou family is strong? My…my young master is here. He will definitely make your Dou family pay for it.”
"Haha, brothers, did you hear that?"
The young man in front of him was the second son of the Dou family, Dou Jinghui. He was dressed in brocade clothes and held a handful of peanuts in his hand. He sat on the table beside him and his bowl was filled with Wuliang liquor.
There were two or three young men sitting next to him at the table. They seemed to be the sons of some of Li Yuan's old subordinates.
"Someone wants Dou Jinghui to go bankrupt to compensate their broken wine shop. This is probably the first time I've heard such arrogant words in my life, right?”
Dou Jinghui smiled and finished the Wuliang Ye in his bowl in one gulp. His expression changed and he roared," Men, beat him to death. I want to see what kind of bastard this Jiang Yi is to be so arrogant in Chang 'an.”
"In the past, it was because Brother Jinghui was out of town. I don't know where this kid from Cheng Zhijie's family found him. He knows some yao arts and actually bewitched His Majesty and the civil and military officials.”
A white-robed young man sneered in disdain,""Therefore, Jiang Yi thought that he was the most powerful person in Chang 'an, and even his butler forgot the rules.”
"Although that Jiang Yi has some talent, he is still far from Brother Jinghui.”
Another young man in light green clothes also raised his glass of wine."Besides, who is your father? His Majesty knew this very well. So what if Jiang Yi was arrogant? In front of Brother Jinghui, she would probably be scared out of her wits and not dare to come.”
"Hahaha, wonderful. Come, Brother Wenyuan, let's drink…"
Dou Jinghui's face was crooked from smiling. He downed the wine in his glass and smacked his lips."See if he's dead? If you're not dead, continue to beat him up."
"Yes, sir!"
Two servants in armor turned Butler Jiang, who had been knocked unconscious, over. They checked his nostrils and found that he was still breathing. They brought a basin of water and splashed him awake.
Butler Jiang, who was completely powerless, found it difficult to breathe. However, the two servants raised their whips as they spoke and were about to lash them again.
" Dog slave, you don't know the rules…"
Bang!
Before anyone could react, the Dou family servant who had whipped the whip suddenly fell to the ground. A black dot appeared between his eyebrows, and dark red blood flowed down the black dot.
"Who is so bold?"
Seeing this, everyone was so frightened that their bodies trembled and they quickly stood up.
The person who came was Jiang Yi. Behind him were twenty servants. They lined up in a row, scaring the Dou family servants into retreating.
Dou Jinghui was still relatively calm. He was not shocked at all by the fact that his servant was beaten to death. He continued to sit there, drinking wine and eating side dishes. Without raising his head, he asked,"I'm afraid this is Jiang Yi, the so-called Immortal Jiang?”
"You hit him?"
Jiang Yi ordered someone to help Butler Jiang up. The gun in his hand had been hidden at some point. At this moment, he was holding a machete and asked indifferently.
Dou Jinghui laughed. He laughed contemptuously. He slowly stood up and threw a handful of peanuts into his mouth."Do you know who I am? So what if I hit you?"
"How is it? Just wait and see what I'm going to do…"
The corners of Jiang Yi's mouth curled up into a sneer. He suddenly raised the machete in his hand. Before the person beside him could react, a muffled sound rang out, and a head rolled onto the table.
