Li Yanchao's heart suddenly jumped.

He knew that Zhao Mo was the eldest son of the first wife of Zhao Shuo, the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty, and he also knew that Zhao Mo often visited the prince's residence in Jinling. If Zhao Mo hadn't spent more time in Qin Bai's home, Yongjia Marquis, he would have thought that Zhao Mo was

He lived with the prince. Because Zhao Mo was still young and moved to Yongjiahou's house, Li Yanchao usually didn't pay much attention to his affairs. It was only then that he realized something was wrong.

Zhao Mo has close contact with the prince, but now he appears at the Shangyuan County government office with the prefect of Jinling. Could it be that he is aware of his actions? What about the prince? Has the prince noticed it too?!

Li Yanchao's face immediately turned pale. Although he wanted to make great contributions to the Shu Palace so that his cousin could be put on the throne of the East Palace, the prince was still alive at the moment! As long as the prince is alive, he is the crown prince for that day. He wants to deal with it

He is just a matter of words. If the prince discovers his intention and is furious to execute him, then the youngest son of the King of Shu will sit on the dragon throne in the future, knowing that he has worked hard for him and risked his life.

What's the point?

Li Yanchao reluctantly straightened his back and tried to look as if nothing had happened, thinking that no matter what Zhao Mo said this time, he could not admit the crime and had to get rid of the matter.

Zhao Mo looked at his guilty look and smiled deeper: "Is this Mr. Li? Mr. Li must be surprised to see me, right? Are you in poor health? Why did your face suddenly become like this?

pale?"

Li Yanchao forced a smile and said: "The grandson of the King of Liao is laughing. I am... I was frightened by this group of prisoners just now, so I turned pale. It has nothing to do with the grandson."

"Oh? Really?" Zhao Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Jinling Magistrate with a smile, "Master Magistrate, you see, Master Li really knows who I am, and he looks guilty when he sees me."

The prefect of Jinling looked at his student with a somewhat unkind expression. When Li Yanchao saw this, his heart suddenly became excited and he quickly defended himself: "What do you mean by the words of the grandson of the King of Liao? You have a distinguished status and came to Jinling. I am an official in the city and recognize you."

It's not a strange thing. How can this be considered guilty?" After finishing speaking, he felt that what he said was not very good, so he quickly added, "I don't have a guilty conscience, so how can I feel guilty? Hahaha.

..." He laughed a few times and looked at the prefect of Jinling with blank eyes.

The prefect of Jinling looked a little gloomy. He stared at him twice and then turned his attention to the group of ruffians behind him.

Li Yanchao was afraid that his secret would be exposed, so he hurriedly shouted to all the officials: "Why don't we take these prisoners away quickly?!" He then smiled apologetically and invited the prefect of Jinling and Zhao Mo to have tea in the back hall. The master he brought to Jinling had just arrived.

, seeing the situation at the scene, even though he didn’t understand what was going on, he very eloquently signaled to the government officials to take down the gangsters, and stuffed their mouths with something before taking them away.

Unfortunately, no matter how careful the wishful thinking is, it is useless if the other party does not cooperate. When those ruffians saw that the officers and soldiers had the upper hand and wanted to take them down again, they knew something was wrong. The leader was the most shrewd and took advantage of the government officials.

Before they had time to gag themselves, they shouted loudly: "The county magistrate is going to silence you?! You spend money, and you guys do things. It doesn't matter if you don't do it well. You guys never do it."

You got up early and stayed in the dark, doing your duty with all your heart. Now you have turned your back on me and refused to give me the money you promised to the young people earlier. You know, you are saying that the young people are not doing things well. I don’t know, but you still think you are doing it intentionally.

What a renegade! In front of so many adults, the county magistrate has the nerve to slander us as criminals?! The young ones don’t know which national law they have violated?!"

Li Yanchao was sweating profusely, and winked to the master, asking him to take everyone away. The prefect of Jinling was not deaf, he frowned and looked in the direction of the ruffian, and asked the students sternly: "What the hell is going on?!

"

Li Yanchao smiled dryly and said, "It's a long story. Teacher, please go to the back hall and have tea, and the students will explain the whole story to you." But he planned to send the Jinling magistrate away, and then find some excuse to excuse him.

How could Zhao Mo let him succeed? Then he smiled and walked a few steps forward, staring at the leader of the gangster twice: "You look familiar, but I don't know where you offended Mr. Li?" Zhao Mo's

Showing his identity can still bluff people, not to mention that there is an uncle behind him. The prefect of Jinling stopped to wait for him, but did not listen to Li Yanchao and leave immediately. Instead, he frowned at the latter, feeling that he had

He was so expressionless that no one would believe him even if he said he was not guilty.

The ruffian looked at Zhao Mo and suddenly smiled: "I didn't know that the young master had such a noble status before. It's because the young masters are blind. But since the young master recognizes the young master, he naturally knows what's going on. But now he

Why are you pretending that nothing is wrong?"

How could he not recognize Zhao Mo when he led people to stare at the house in Huaiqingqiao for so many days? He just heard Li Yanchao call Zhao Mo his grandson, and knew that the other person's identity was unusual. Although he was joking, in fact, he had already

He regretted it countless times. If he had known this, he should not have accepted this job and caused such a big trouble just for a few dollars!

Zhao Mo just smiled at him: "How did I know what was going on? I just knew that someone wanted to do something bad to me. I was still young, and I came to Jiangnan with my elders just to relax. I never thought

I actually provoked a big enemy. I can’t figure it out. When did I offend him? What did he want to do to me? I’m young and not sensible. When this kind of thing happens, I can only report it to the official. Lord Magistrate

I don’t know the whole story, so I came to ask County Magistrate Li, but Magistrate Li just refused to admit it. Listening to your words now, you are an informed person. Now that the prefect is here, why don’t you explain it to me?

One understands?"

The gangster secretly thought that Zhao Mo was trying to force him to tell the truth. At this point, if he didn't tell the truth, he could only protect Li Yanchao. But now that their brother had offended Li Yanchao, why should they protect him anymore? After telling the truth, they

At most, he would suffer a few blows and receive no money, but his life could be saved. If he didn't tell the truth, he could just ask Li Yanchao to order someone to take him away. It's hard to say whether he would survive.

After weighing it up, the ruffian leader readily confessed: "Young men don't know the details. It's just that Magistrate Li Hua Yinzi hired the young men to watch the sentinel of a house near Huaiqing Bridge. Young Master

I often go to that house, and I must know where the kids are talking about. County Magistrate Li repeatedly told the kids to keep an eye on the people in the house. If someone goes out, follow him and find out where that person is.

Where and what needs to be done, we must not neglect it day or night. As for what County Magistrate Li wants to do to the people in the house, the little ones don’t know."

Zhao Mo was very satisfied with what he said. He turned back to look at Jinling Magistrate: "Look, my lord, what I said was very good. You said just now that I misunderstood, what do you say now?"

The prefect of Jinling stared at Li Yanchao with a sullen face. Li Yanchao defended with a pale face: "This ruffian is just messing around. The students don't know anything about the Huaiqingqiao house."

Zhao Mo sneered and said, "Why would Mr. Li open his eyes and tell lies? On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I came out of the house and saw Mr. Li sitting at the tea pavilion at the intersection, staring at my house. It was very strange. From then on

I have been more careful since that day, and found that I was out of luck

When I was outside, I was often followed by people with unknown identities. After asking someone to check, I found out that they were from the Shangyuan County Government. I searched for people and inquired about Mr. Li's origins, and learned that Mr. Li was a descendant of a noble family in Beijing, and his given name was Shangyuan County.

The word "yanxiachao" reminds me of a person."

He turned to the prefect of Jinling: "When I was in Beijing and interacting with my cousins ​​in the clan and the royal family, I remembered that there was a follower named Li Yansheng beside the young master of the Tu family, who was said to be the cousin of the young master of the Tu family.

He only follows him every day to please and behave. Master Li and Li Yansheng's names differ only by one character, and they are both from the same aristocratic family in Beijing. Could it be that they are from the same family?

Who are the in-laws from the Tu family? The Tu family... indeed has a daughter who married into the Li family. Master Li must be the grandson of the Tu family, right? I heard that his mother and the Princess of Shu are very close sisters. Because the Queen Mother

Because of that, I have always been respectful to the Tu family and have never offended anyone, and I have never had any contact with the Li family. When it comes to grudges, there is only one thing..."

Zhao Mo paused and looked at Li Yanchao with a meaningful look: "A few months ago, for some unknown reason, His Highness the King of Shu colluded with my second uncle and falsely accused my father of embezzling military funds. Fortunately, the Emperor Shengming Zhuzhao returned the favor to me.

father

I found out that His Highness the King of Shu and his second uncle were here, and both elders were severely punished. I heard that the Princess of Shu hated my father because of this. Could it be that it was because of this that she asked Mr. Li to come look for me?

unlucky?"

Li Yanchao's face changed greatly: "Don't talk nonsense, grandson! This matter has nothing to do with the princess!" He was almost frightened out of his wits. He only felt that Zhao Mo was so terrifying at such a young age that he actually sent sewage to Shu in an instant.

The princess was spilled. If he really succeeded, wouldn't the Princess of Shu suffer a big loss? The youngest son of the King of Shu would definitely be implicated, and the result would only be to the advantage of the Prince of Liao. At such a young age, the grandson of the Prince of Liao was really a good calculator.

!

He was trembling slightly, and his tone of voice conveyed the feeling of being strong on the outside and being aggressive on the inside: "The Princess of Shu has a noble status and is an elder. How could she do such a thing to the grandson? The grandson cannot just throw money at innocent people for personal gain."

Sewage. Even if this matter is brought to the capital, the whole court will only criticize Shisun. Shisun should be more careful with his words and deeds, so as not to cause greater trouble for the prince of Liao and make him even more unpopular with him.

!”

He thought that these words of warning could hit Zhao Mo's sore spot, but Zhao Mo just smiled and looked unconcerned: "That's right, which tablet am I on? Princess Shu really

If you want to take revenge on my father, you don’t need to take advantage of me. It’s just..." He paused.

, looked at Li Yanchao, "Just because the Princess of Shu can't do something, it doesn't mean that the people below won't do it. Maybe there is some short-sighted person who thinks this is a way to please the Princess of Shu, so he rushes to show her courtesy? Otherwise, what's the point?

Mr. Li, how do you want to explain why you sent someone to monitor my house?"

Li Yanchao was stunned for a moment: "Your house?"

"Of course it is my house." Zhao Mo smiled slightly, "I am currently studying with Marquis Yongjia. The Marquis loves the younger generation very much and gave me a house, just next to the Huaiqing Bridge. I love that house very much.

I lived there for a long time before. But now that the Chinese New Year is coming, Mrs. Yongjiahou didn’t worry about me being outside, so she asked me to move back to Qin’s house. But after all, my things are still in that house, so I go to the house from time to time.

Go back and take a look."

He looked at Li Yanchao with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Li has sent people to stare at me for so long. Is it possible that he still doesn't know that it is my house? If he doesn't know, why did you send people to keep an eye on my house?"

What could Li Yanchao say? Did he still dare to tell the truth about the prince? Facing the gloomy gaze of the Jinling prefect, he could only cry without tears.

I have to go out to do some errands tomorrow morning, so I guess I won’t be able to write the second update until I get back, which may be a little later.
