As soon as Li Yun left, the shopkeeper began to report the matter to the higher-ups.
Such a huge amount of money was almost one-third of the entire national treasury!
He did not dare to delay such a big matter at all.
The news quickly reached Zhangsun Wuji's ears.
"Six million strings?" He asked in surprise,
"Bring him to me. I'll ask him personally.”
Although the matter of the workshop was under the name of Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the actual operator was Zhangsun Wuji.
This was a recognition of his ability and also the Emperor's trust in this close friend.
Zhangsun Wuji could feel that the relationship between him and Second Emperor Li had gradually drifted apart over the past few years.
Now that he had such an opportunity, he naturally did his best and did not dare to make any mistakes in the matter of the square cabinet.
Not long after, the sweaty shopkeeper was brought to the Duke of Zhao's residence.
"Which family is the person who saved the money from?”Zhangsun Wuji went straight to the point.
"He isn't from an aristocratic family. That person is young and looks unfamiliar.”
Then, he described Li Yun's appearance in detail.
Hearing his answer, Zhangsun Wuji's frown deepened.
Zhangsun Wuji did not doubt his words.
This shopkeeper was transferred from his residence. Before this, he was mainly in charge of the Zhangsun Clan's business in Chang 'an, so he was definitely knowledgeable.
He was not from an aristocratic family, but a stranger he had never seen before.
Where did this person come from?
Why didn't he have any impression of someone who could take out so much money at once?
"Alright, you may leave!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the door and rushed to Taiji Palace.
......
In the side hall of Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, this old minister has something important to report!”
Zhangsun Wuji said after hurriedly bowing.
"Ancestors, are you talking about the four barbarians?”
Seeing him, Second Emperor Li began to have a headache again.
However, to his surprise, Zhangsun Wuji quickly shook his head.
"That's not the case. I'm here to report the situation of the square cabinet.”
"What's wrong with the cabinet?" Second Emperor Li was a little confused.
Why was he suddenly talking about the cabinet at this time?
Zhangsun Wuji quickly reported the situation and concluded,
"I racked my brains but couldn't think of anyone who could take out such a huge sum of money at once. I'm afraid there's something fishy going on, so after learning of this matter, I came to inform Your Majesty immediately.”
Halfway through his words, Li Er had already guessed it.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth with an outstanding appearance and a few million dollars in cash. Wasn't this Li Yun?
He came to Chang 'an?
Didn't this little bastard say that he would never enter Chang 'an Fortress?
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter? Do you want me to send someone to investigate?”
"There's actually someone among the people who has such a huge sum of money. This subject feels that it's a little unsafe!”
Zhangsun Wuji continued to ask when he saw that the Emperor was silent.
"No need, I know what to do." Li Er shook his head and said," This matter ends here. You don't have to ask about that person in the future.”
This answer shocked Zhangsun Wuji!
Hearing the Emperor's casual tone, he should know the inside story of this matter!
His Majesty knew, but he, the head of the Zhangsun family and the Minister of Personnel Affairs, had no news at all?
Suddenly, he felt that Li Er had become very unfamiliar.
Could it be that this was a force that the current Emperor had secretly developed? Other than that, he really could not think of anyone else who could have such a huge amount of money!
But what was His Majesty planning to do by suddenly gathering so much money?
In addition, these days, Second Emperor Li's performance in the court was becoming more and more powerful.
Zhangsun Wuji felt his heart skip a beat, and even his breathing became rapid.
Could it be that His Majesty was going to do something big?
"Ancestors?" Second Emperor Li saw that he was a little distracted and called out with a frown.
"I understand. I will pretend that this matter never happened and will not mention it to anyone.”
Zhangsun Wuji said solemnly after regaining his composure.
If His Majesty really wanted to do something, wouldn't it be a good opportunity for him to show his loyalty?
After seeing Second Emperor Li nod, he tactfully said,
"This old subject will take his leave."
After saying that, he quickly left.
After he left, Emperor Li Er also frowned and pondered for a while.
Li Yun had always been a cautious person. How could such a big mistake have happened this time?
Could it be that something happened?
With this thought, he called over Li Junxian and instructed,
"Li Yun has come to Chang 'an. He just left the market in Xi City. Go and see what he's doing here.”
Li Junxian's lips twitched at this name.
Because of Li Yun, His Majesty had taught him a lesson the last time!
He came to Chang 'an?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Junxian clasped his hands.
"Go now. I'll make other arrangements for the guards in the palace.”
"Report to me immediately after the ceremony.”
Li Er instructed.
"I understand."
Li Junxian couldn't help but sigh in amazement at the Emperor's words!
His Majesty actually asked him not to be responsible for the guards of the palace anymore and to follow Li Yun!
"He also has the surname Li. Could he be the illegitimate son of His Majesty?”
Li Junxian guessed.
