Chapter 181 Falling out
"This is not what Prime Minister Ji meant."
"Who does that mean?"
"This..." Yang Sixian shouted at Zhongli Ruoshui. Unexpectedly, Li Chenan also stood up. He thrust the sign into Yang Sixian's hand, because he no longer needed the identity of the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society.
The news that Liu Zuo arrived in Shuzhou alive has spread to Kyoto. Yang Sixian came to ask himself at this moment. In fact, there was no need to ask. Ji Tai was inherently suspicious. No matter how he answered, he would conclude that Liu Zuo was not dead because of his own manipulations.
.
The only purpose of keeping this brand was to do some transactions with Huo Chuanming, the prefect of Guangling.
But now this situation no longer matters.
He had already discussed with Zhongli Ruoshui and planned to abandon Guangling City and go to Shuzhou to reorganize the layout.
He cannot let the technology of those industries fall into the hands of others, and if the investment in Guangling City is too large, it will be inconvenient for Guangling Zhongli Mansion to be transferred as a whole.
Of course, if the situation did not develop in the worst direction, with Zhongli Mansion's methods, there would be no need to rely on Huo Chuanming to obtain salt and iron.
In the words of Zhongli Ruoshui: "Since the profits of this business are so high, why should outsiders take half of it?"
"It's easy to get salt and iron. We can get the approval directly from the palace. We can buy our own mines and mine salt wells, but I wasn't interested in it in the past!"
Therefore, this brand has lost any meaning to Li Chenan, and on the contrary, it makes his identity somewhat unpopular.
"Mr. Yang, we have known each other for a while, and you are already your age. For the sake of your descendants... I advise you to be kind!"
Yang Sixian was shocked, "Chen An, don't get me wrong!"
"Did I misunderstand?"
"The Eunuch Xiao who came here that day is the eunuch in charge of Concubine Ji's palace!"
"That Luo Yueban, he is actually the guest elder of the Fish and Dragon Society!"
"Tell me not to misunderstand. What did I misunderstand?"
Li Chenan suddenly took a step forward. He smiled and patted Yang Sixian on the shoulder, "You still don't know much about me!"
"I hold a grudge. Whoever wants me to die...I won't let him live a good life!"
"I said at the South Gate of Kyoto that when I step out of Guangling City, I have no intention of going back!"
"Since someone did me the first grade of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth grade!"
His expression suddenly changed and became extremely cold:
"Since you are here today, I might as well tell you that I am sending people to find out where your home is!"
"When you go back, prepare a map of the Ichthyosaurus Club headquarters. It needs to be the most accurate one, and it needs to have the method of entering and exiting the water prison!"
"When you're ready, use it to exchange for your granddaughter's life!"
Yang Sixian never expected that Li Chenan would fall out so quickly!
Li Chenan was obviously still chatting with him endlessly just now, but in the blink of an eye, he turned into such a strange face.
He was even plotting against himself!
He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have come because Li Chenan shouldn't be so stupid -
The killing of Li Chenan on the fifth day of August could not be hidden from him at all, because Eunuch Xiao showed up and because of the dead Luo Yueban.
Since he knew that it was Concubine Ji who had done it, he would naturally be extra wary of Prime Minister Ji, and he would no longer have any good impressions of the Ichthyosaurus Society, let alone trust!
He wanted the map of the Ichthyosaur Society headquarters, and he actually wanted to save Wen Xiaowan!
Yang Sixian's face also became gloomy: "It's no harm to my family. If you dare to attack my granddaughter, I will kill you now!"
At this moment, Amu, who was sitting in the pavilion with his back to them and looking at the lotus pond, suddenly turned around.
The moment he turned around, he pulled out the knife he had put aside.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, Yang Sixian was horrified.
He kicked his feet and stepped back violently, three feet away!
The knife in Amu's hand has been slashed down faster than he could retreat!
Yang Sixian drew his sword.
His sword was three inches from its scabbard.
After all, he did not draw the sword from his waist.
His right hand was cut off by Amu!
He didn't scream, but his face suddenly turned pale and sweat rolled down his forehead.
His left hand covered the broken arm, letting blood gush out and drip from between his fingers.
"Li Chen'an, I've underestimated you!"
"Yang Sixian, you wasted my painting spring!"
"You'll regret it!"
"Don't talk nonsense, prepare the drawings, and exchange your granddaughter's life!"
After Li Chenan said this, he suddenly shouted: "Get out...!"
Yang Sixian gave him a deep look, turned around and left, almost bumping into someone who came in.
He looked up and was shocked again - Shang Di!
He knew that Li Chenan had a good relationship with Shang Di when they were in Guangling City, and he also knew that Shang Di was from the Imperial City Division. Now he suspected that Li Chenan was also from the Imperial City Division!
This can explain the incident in the heavy rain.
The Imperial City Division stood up for Li Chenan, so they destroyed Prime Minister Ji's four properties and slaughtered a hundred or so people!
This kid turns out to be an undercover agent!
…
…
"Did you really send someone to kidnap Yang Sixian's granddaughter?"
Li Chenan grinned and shook his head: "I'm trying to scare him. This person is suspicious. Suspicious people usually have one problem, and that's the problem of being a snake."
"He will be scared even if I don't make the slightest move. What I want is for him to be scared. In this way, he will have trouble sleeping and eating at night."
"Let him torture himself."
"Did you get the map?"
After meeting Li Chenan, the two sat in the pavilion. Amu had already put away the knife, but he still had his back to them, and he was quietly and lonely looking at the lotus in the sunshine of the lake.
"The situation is a little complicated."
Shang Di took out a map from his arms and placed it in front of Li Chenan. He said with a somewhat serious look: "Scholar Chang has entered the capital. Under the cover of the Fish and Dragon Society, the Imperial City Department does not know his whereabouts yet."
Li Chenan was about to unfold the map when he was surprised when he heard: "Is that the master Danqing Chang scholar who paints with human blood and likes to paint roses?"
"Yes, he is now at the upper level of the first realm!"
Li Chenan was stunned, "Who can deal with him?"
"Originally, Wang Zheng Jinzhong could do it, and Wang Zheng Jinzhong was also rushing back to Kyoto... But Mr. Changsun said that Wang Zheng Jinzhong was rushing back to Kyoto not to deal with Scholar Chang."...
"...Who is that against?"
"Xia Yunhu!"
It was obvious that Li Chenan didn't know the name Xia Yunhu, but Zhongli Ruoshui, who was sitting next to him and was pouring tea, was startled when he heard it.
"Deputy of the Imperial City Department promoted Xia Yunhu? Haven't there been rumors that he will be the next official of the Imperial City Department? Why should we deal with him?"
"Who knows what Xia Yunhu is thinking? Hey..."
Shang Di let out a long sigh, "After investigation by the Imperial City Department, we found that the person who let Scholar Chang go in February this year was Xia Yunhu... Mr. Changsun thought it was because Ji Tai had made a heavy promise to him."
"Is this person very powerful?"
“Very awesome!”
Li Chenan suddenly felt that his question was unnecessary. A future successor to the Imperial City Secretary, he would certainly be powerful.
He suddenly frowned slightly, feeling that the story behind this matter was becoming more and more complicated.
The original intention was to save Wen Xiaowan, who was a shepherd at Ningxiang Pavilion. According to Shang Di's previous statement, the purpose of the Yulong Society's move was to use Wen Xiaowan to lure her father, Wen Boiyu, out.
Now the Fish and Dragon Society has recalled the big devil Chang Shusheng who was hiding in the south of the Yangtze River back to Kyoto, and also instigated the rebellion of a master from the Imperial City Division...
"Who is this Wen Boiyu? Is it worthy for the Fish and Dragon Society to spend so much effort to deal with it?"
Shang Di pondered for a moment and told Li Chenan the past in detail.
Li Chenan was stunned when he heard this.
Only then did we realize that so many major events had happened in the three years of Zhaohua.
When we got on the bus, Lu Zhanxiao was surrounded by people and was killed.
Empress Lu gave birth to the emperor's eldest son that autumn, but the child was lost that winter.
Empress Lu was so desperate that she committed suicide by hanging from a beam.
The emperor was at a loss.
As a result, Ningguo fell into decline.
There are shadows of Xi Wei, his own grandfathers Li Chunfu and Wen Boyu, and even Changsun Jinghong's shadows.
Only then did he understand that the girl Wen Xiaowan fell into the hands of the Fish and Dragon Society, which triggered another game between various forces.
Li Chenan unfolded the map and pondered for a moment, "Tell Mr. Changsun that at midnight on August 15th, I will go to the headquarters of the Fish and Dragon Society!"
