"Why haven't I heard about the sixth largest force?" Zhang Ping was confused.

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "The sixth largest force is you! The local snake force."

Zhang Ping waved his hand quickly, "We are earthworms, we will be trampled to death by others!"

"Then why haven't you stepped on it for so long?"

Li Ye asked with a smile: "If I rob your Baoji Cabinet Shop, wouldn't I make a fortune? Why has no one done it? Haven't you ever thought about the reason?"

Zhang Ping hesitated and said: "Because there is a large amount of wealth of the rich and powerful stored in Baoji Cabinet, so no one dares to touch it!"

Li Ye shook his head, "This is not the real reason. The real reason is that the martial arts hall in your hands can mobilize many warriors, and they are all children of this city. These five major forces, even if they all hold their heads high and chest high, but Their feet are really stepping on the ground, and they are also afraid that you local snakes will bite their feet. For example, the Yang family, Yang Guozhong and other high-ranking officials may not be hurt by you, but what about their descendants? Do you think this is the truth? "

Zhang Ping fell into deep thought. No one had ever said these words to him.

Li Ye continued to enlighten him, "Why did your foster father go behind the scenes? He was hiding and no one knew where he was? Once someone wanted to seize his property, he would have a chance to fight back. Otherwise, he would be on the stage. Will be the first to be plotted."

Zhang Ping suddenly became nervous, "If someone wants to deal with my adoptive father and the head of the family, will they deal with me first?"

Li Ye thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where your adoptive father is hiding?"

"I know!"

"Besides you?"

Zhang Ping shook his head, "I probably don't even know."

"Then the question is, if someone puts a knife to your neck and asks you where your adopted father is hiding, will you tell him?"

"Never will!"

Zhang Ping shook his head decisively, "Even if someone kidnaps me, my adoptive father will know immediately. He will be transferred soon, and kidnapping me will be useless."

Li Ye said calmly: "What if your parents and brothers are kidnapped, and your wife and children are kidnapped?"

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, "I don't know!"

Li Ye said slowly: "So I'm telling you now, move your parents, brothers, wife and children away as soon as possible. If you continue to delay, sooner or later you will encounter the situation I mentioned."

Zhang Ping was so nervous that his voice trembled, "Brother, don't scare me!"

"I'm not scaring you. An Lushan wants to expand his army and he needs a lot of wealth. Where does his wealth come from? Think about what he has done before?"

"He kidnapped the son of the family owner and extorted 100,000 yuan."

"You also know that the Wang family are fat sheep and will be slaughtered. An Lushan even dared to assassinate Yang Guozhong's son, but he didn't dare to do anything to the Wang brothers? The Wang family also realized it, so the two brothers hid themselves, so obvious Can’t you even see that?”

Zhang Ping's face turned pale. He finally realized the huge danger he was facing. He nodded quickly, "I will send my parents, wife and children back to my hometown in Hanzhong in the next two days, and my brothers will also be sent away."

"You have to be careful yourself, don't go to women, don't go to remote places, put on inner armor, bring weapons, and bring a few brothers with strong martial arts skills with you. These two years are an extraordinary period, and the situation will be very serious. If there is chaos, An Lushan will probably rebel, so practice martial arts with your master."

"I see."

Zhang Ping slapped the table and said, "I will send them away tomorrow and transfer the money as well."

Li Ye is not an alarmist. Nothing is accidental. Any major change in history is an accumulation process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Behind the outbreak of one big event, there must be countless small events happening, and behind every small event, there must be countless small events happening.

We see many major events happening today, and they must have many historical contexts in them.

The same is true for the Anshi Rebellion. Before the rebellion broke out, there must have been many minor events, including fierce court struggles. In order to collect money and recruit soldiers, all kinds of methods were used.

The Wang brothers smelled danger, so they hid and their property was transferred. Zhang Ping was the key to finding the Wang brothers, so it was very necessary for Li Ye to remind Zhang Ping.

Li Ye originally wanted Zhang Ping to go to Shaiye and enrich his confidants, but now he suddenly realized that as a local leader in Chang'an, it would be good for Zhang Ping to stay in Chang'an to help him.

Early the next morning, Li Ye came to the ancestral hall in Changlefang to pay homage to his grandfather's spirit. However, his grandfather's cemetery was in Yunyang County, so he had to find a special time to pay homage.

When he came out of the ancestral hall, he saw Li Xun face to face. Li Ye walked forward with a smile, "Brother, why are you here?"

Li Xun smiled and said: "Yesterday, on my day off, I made a special trip home. I heard that Brother Xian is back, and I planned to visit him this morning. What a coincidence, Brother Xian came to the ancestral hall."

"Go sit at the small noodle stall at the door. I just didn't have breakfast."

The two came to the food stall at the entrance of the alley and sat down. Li Ye ordered a bowl of noodles, and Li Xun also ordered a bowl.

Li Ye took a sip of the hot noodle soup and said with a smile: "I heard from my father that you are the boss in Xianyang County, which is not bad!"

Li Xun said with emotion: "It's all thanks to you saying hello to Gao Lishi, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to pass the civil service examination. I would have to hand it over to Yang Guozhong for approval, and he would definitely delete me."

"The key is that you have to pass the provincial exam yourself!"

"I am also very lucky. I have done some of the most difficult questions. Originally, I was seventh in Jingzhao. This ranking is very dangerous. In the end, only three people in Jingzhao passed the Ming Dynasty. I was the third. I am very lucky. ah!"

Li Ye nodded and asked again: "My father seems to have encountered some trouble. Do you know what's going on?"

"It is estimated that during this year's imperial examination, Ming Jingke approved the admission of 32 people, but for some reason, when the Ministry of Rites prepared the syllabus for the imperial examination, it was written as 35 people. In the end, 35 people were admitted in the provincial examination, and all of them were admitted. This mistake was not discovered, and only thirty-five people were announced. When the official selection was held, the official discovered that there were three more people."

"Then the officials will just get rid of the three of them."

"The thing is so simple, but the political hall won't do it! Zhang Jun, especially, must find out the reason and find out whether there is any fraud. From April to now, the entire Ministry of Rites has been fussing about this matter. Your father wrote Three reports were made, but they were all called back by the Political Affairs Hall, demanding a re-investigation. It was indeed just official negligence, but Zhang Jun refused, insisting that there was something inside."

Li Ye sneered: "Zhang Jun is forcing my father to resign! But doesn't the emperor have an explanation?"

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that the emperor only approved four words, 'check to the end!' Maybe the emperor was also deceived by Zhang Jun and thought there was something wrong with it!"

Li Ye frowned, "Is Yang Guozhong instigating this?"

"It seems not. Yang Guozhong went to Yizhou in April and was not in Chang'an. Zhang Jun should be the one pushing for this."

Speaking of this, Li Xun lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Zhang Jun is not from Yang Guozhong's faction. He has a close relationship with An Lushan."

Li Ye suddenly remembered what Zhang Ping said and smiled: "I want to ask you, I heard Zhang Ping say yesterday that there are five major forces in Chang'an, you know!"

Li Xun smiled and waved his hand, "This is no longer a secret. Everyone in Chang'an is saying that it is nothing more than the five major forces of Conglong Clan, Prince Clan, Guanlong Clan, Yang Party and An Dang."

"What kind of power does An Lushan have?"

"An Lushan Silver Bullet opened the way, and his army was powerful. Many people were flirting with him, like the father and son of the Wu family in the past, and the Zhang Jun brothers. Then I heard that Chen Xilie also spoke for him. I guess he had enough money, and then It’s the Yuwen family.”

Li Ye was surprised, "The Yuwen family has taken refuge in Anlu Mountain? How can you tell?"
