Section 1681 Cotton(1/2)
Chapter 1681 Cotton Cloth
When it comes to His Majesty's changes, perhaps no one knows it better than the Queen Mother. The one who has the most say in this matter is definitely the Queen Mother. She watched the Emperor grow up. The Queen cannot keep up with the Queen Mother in this regard. Recently
The various seats of the emperor are definitely very different from those of the previous emperor. The queen mother thought that the emperor knew what happened between her and his biological mother in the past, so she was disrespectful to her. But now when she heard the queen's words, she felt something was wrong again.
, this queen has nothing to do with the emperor. Although the two of them cannot be said to be respectful to each other, the queen has given birth to several children for the emperor. If there is no affection at all, it is impossible for the queen to give birth to so many children.
Although the queen's face is not very good because of the prince's incident, everyone knows that the prince has not been close to the queen since he was a child. The mother and son are almost strangers. If we want to start from the prince's incident.
, the Queen Mother should be the one to be liquidated, and it should not come to the Queen's head. Thinking of the Prince's affairs, the Queen Mother was also a little uncomfortable. Although she did not express her support for the Prince clearly, but she did not ask, in the eyes of the Emperor
He came here to support the prince. Is that the reason why he came?
"Don't make random guesses about His Majesty's affairs. You have all paid my attention to each one of you. Although there have been a lot of things going on in the Imperial Capital recently, we can't mess with it." The Queen Mother thought for a while and said a few official words before saying that.
The concubine was sent away, leaving the queen alone to talk to herself. Such a thing had never happened before. Even the children in the imperial capital knew that the queen mother hated the queen. Now the two of them seemed to be acting like each other again.
It's the two of them, and they both know what they have in mind, because they both feel the crisis and must contain the emperor. Otherwise, if it continues, neither of them may have a foothold. The Queen Mother understands
What's going on, but the queen still doesn't understand why the emperor dealt with her at this time. She will not join forces with the queen mother when there is no danger. Although she also feels that something is wrong, she still lacks a reason to join forces with the queen mother. Soon
, the reason came in less than ten minutes. Li Cong's next target was the clan leader of the Wuya clan, the current Minister of Household Affairs, Lanshan. Wuya clan, the queen mother did not hide the news from the queen at all when she got it.
A few minutes later, the queen also received the news. There were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and it was impossible to avoid leaking the news.
"Now the two of us can finally join forces. I, the Ulanala clan, can make the decision, but you, the Wuya clan, can you?" The Queen Mother never forgets to give the queen a few words at any time. These words clearly mean that they are
The two are not on the same level. Although the Queen knows that this is the case, she cannot get angry. In addition to asking the Queen Mother, there is another reason why she is indeed not the top leader of the Wuya clan. She can only be regarded as one of them.
Even if she is the queen, she has not reached that age yet, and the elders of the Ulanala clan are basically gone. The queen mother is the highest-ranking person, and she can make the decision herself, but the queen is different.
There are several people in the Ya family who are senior to the Queen. Even the current patriarch, Lan Shan, is also the brother of the Wu Ya family. He is much older than the Wu Ya family. The queen often does things for her brother.
As taught, the father left early and the elder brother is like the father. The Queen is already used to this. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother caught her and said something about this matter. Naturally, her face was a little worried. The Queen Mother also knew that now they
He couldn't have any conflicts, so he just said that and nothing more happened. If they didn't get along, Li Cong might divide them and rule them.
Now these two women have not yet seen the threat that Li Cong poses to them. In their view, Li Cong is a person brought by the emperor to deal with them. So far, Li Cong has done a pretty good job. Now Ulana
The million-strong army of the La clan has been mobilized. Now the military strength of the Ulanara clan can be said to be much less. The Wuya clan is not very good at military affairs, so now they mainly consolidate the Ulanala clan.
The Queen Mother would definitely try her best to separate the position of the Ya clan leader from the Wu Ya clan if something like this had happened before. But now, keeping this position is at least very beneficial to her, and Li Cong could see that.
The most important thing in the imperial capital is power and money. The Queen and the Queen Mother can also see that they have made all preparations and worked hard to block all the recent not-so-good things in Lanshan, but
They still haven't studied Li Cong well. If he can't kill Lan Shan head-on, then they can kill him from the side, for example directly.
Li Cong has also studied the Wu Ya family. Lan Shan is a person. This old guy is a very cautious person. It is no wonder that he was born in a wealthy family like the Wu Ya family. As long as he does not have IQ problems since he was a child, he can survive.
At the age of sixty, he must be very powerful. This brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Li Cong also found a lot of evidence about this guy, but unfortunately, this guy has no loopholes that he can exploit.
, and now that Wu Yashi has been completely blocked by his brother, there was not much problem with it in the first place, but now it has become nothing. Li Cong is angry in his heart, but there is nothing he can do about it.
It seems that the only option is to take the last option, follow the old rules, and kill him with a small team.
Lan Shan's daily route is very regular, that is, from home to the court, and then back to the court. There is no easy place to start along the way. If Lan Shan is killed in the imperial capital, the current city defense troops of the imperial capital will all
If they are Li Cong's subordinates, then they will be held accountable. This is no small matter. They will all be punished. In this way, although they have gained the other half of the financial power, it is a bit outweighed by the gain.
Knowing that military strength is the most important thing at any time, Li Cong has asked people to keep an eye on this guy for several days, but there is still no news, so today he can only go to the street to find some people for help, and sit down
The oily scorpion opposite Li Cong is the most well-informed person in the entire imperial capital. Li Cong is sizing up this guy, and he is also sizing up Li Cong. He has a characteristic, that is, he is not afraid of anything, as long as there are people
He has the starting price and all kinds of information, and he is truthful. To put it bluntly, he wants money rather than his life.
Basically, there are a few people who sell information in the imperial capital every year, and so does Oil Scorpion. His predecessor was dumped because he didn't know what information he sold, but he still did it because he knew very well that if he didn't do this, he would have no life.
Maybe he was lucky enough not to be discarded. Instead of living a mediocre life, it would be better to be famous for a while. Li Cong dressed up as a merchant from the Southern Empire. You Scorpion took one look at Li Cong and understood that this guy
He is a spy from the Southern Empire. Customers like this are very popular. Compared with other customers, the biggest feature of such customers is that they are not short of money. As long as you can get the information they are interested in, the golden ticket will definitely be a big deal.
Yes, these people will not be stingy.
"Sir, I'm from the Southern Empire. I don't know what information I want to buy. Let me tell you in advance that I don't sell fake things. I have a lot of real things here, but you must have a golden ticket." In fact, these words are not true.
What needs to be said again is that it is just his own professional habits. He knows this meeting place. This is the most luxurious Spring and Autumn Tea House in the imperial capital. Their room is the number one room here. He has been doing information trading for a long time.
Well, I can count on one finger the number of people who can meet him here. The room fee here for one night is two thousand gold coins. Plus the pot of tea in front of me and the few singers over there, how many can I count on one night?
You can't buy ten thousand gold coins. The information that such a generous owner wants to buy is definitely not simple.
"Haha, you don't need to worry about this. What I need is information, and what you need are gold tickets. We each have what we need." Li Cong smiled and took out two gold tickets worth one hundred thousand gold coins from under the table.
This oily scorpion's eyes were wide open when he saw it. One piece of news costs two hundred thousand gold coins, and he can be at the forefront of a year's transactions. It seems that he has promoted several transactions today to meet this one. He must be very discerning.
Yes, after all the other businesses are completed, I can only have tens of thousands of gold coins. Look at the income here, it is several times that over there. Now for the sake of the gold tickets,
He looked at Li Cong much better. Sure enough, money can make all the difference. This guy didn't even recognize his own mother when he saw the golden ticket.
"The number is indeed a good number. I don't dare to say that I have all the information you are looking for, sir, but at least I don't have it here and others don't have it." The boy said confidently. The reason why he is number one in the imperial capital is because of this news.
The reason is, otherwise no one would be able to look up to this guy who is less than 1.6 meters tall among the crowds of people on the street. But there is news that he is not tall, but he can hire dozens of people with a height of 2 meters.
A big man stands beside him, this is his skill.
"I want to know how to get Mr. Lanshan Wuya to leave the city. To be exact, Mr. Lanshan would go out of the city every month some time ago. Why hasn't he gone out recently?" Li Cong said casually. It turns out that this oil scorpion
What did you think it was? This kind of news is very cheap at all. Two hundred thousand gold tickets are so profitable. This guy paused for about two seconds. All this news was recorded in his mind. Could it be that
If you just jot it down in a book, that's asking for death.
"Haha, sir, not many people actually know about this matter. I also wasted a lot of manpower and material resources to get it. I originally thought that no one would be interested in such news. Since you are interested, sir, I will tell you.
, Master Lanshan has a reason to go outside the city. Don’t look at the fact that Master Lanshan’s family has dozens of wives. There is still an outhouse outside the city. Originally, Master Lanshan also wanted to take this outhouse.
He went back to the city, but because this foreign minister was a slave, the matter was left undisturbed. However, Master Lanshan was very concerned about this foreign affairs lady, and asked her almost every month.
The past time, to be honest, even the favored concubine in the family may not go there once a month. A few years have passed, and children are already having children there, but Mr. Lanshan still prefers foreign affairs there.
Madam, the reason why people in the imperial capital don't know about this is because Mr. Lanshan hides it better, and because the wife of the foreign wife has to move every once in a while, no one knows about it."
The guy happily touched the gold ticket in his hand and told Li Cong happily that such news could bring hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It seems that his business is really good this year.
"Well, this transaction of ours is finally over. There is still another transaction. I think you kept the news in your own head. It's also two hundred thousand gold coins. I need to know where this young lady lives." Li
Cong said gloomily, and the still happy You Scorpion on the opposite side immediately stopped his smile. He could feel that Li Cong didn't look like a businessman at all. What he was going to do might make him different from those in front of him.
He disappeared as a person, but when he thought of the golden ticket in his hand...
"Sir, this news may cause me a lot of trouble. For one million gold coins, I will disappear automatically after doing this." He knew that Li Cong might also make himself disappear, so he might as well ask for a big one.
, then escape by yourself and see who of the others can move faster. If you can cope with it better, the money can still allow you to go to a remote place and live a good life. But if you can cope with it by yourself
If you don't do it right, you may really lose your life.
Li Cong nodded. He didn't want to deal with the guy in front of him. He also knew that no one's life was easy. He took out a gold ticket worth one million gold coins and said, "This is one million gold coins."
It's all yours, I won't deal with you, but you have two days, and only two days, Wu Yashi will deal with you well, I hope you can run fast, you have to know that before you
I will kill you when you are caught by Wu Yashi." Li Cong said frankly. There is no need to talk in circles when talking to these intelligence people. This guy knows very well how he should do things, so he doesn't say anything.
Anyone who knows how to kill him or follow him in the future will be bullshit. Sure enough, when this guy heard what Li Cong said, he actually had a smile on his face.
You Scorpion silently packed up the golden ticket, then whispered an address to Li Cong and went out. He didn't even touch the expensive cup of tea. He knew very well how important time was to him now.
, if he continues to stay here, he will definitely have no chance of living. Now he must hurry up and run out. He can only run out of people's sight within two days. His parents are no longer here, although there are two women.
But he doesn't have any feelings for them. Most of Oil Scorpion's belongings belong to him. Although his family has tens of thousands of gold coins in gold tickets, this guy doesn't plan to get them. The city is about to be closed in an hour.
The door is open. Oil Scorpion needs to get out quickly now. Otherwise, he won't be able to get out of the city gate tonight and will be delayed all night. Going to the inn to buy a horse is the beginning of his life in exile. If he can go to the Southern Empire,
The best thing is, even if it doesn't work, you have to hide in a village for a year and a half. If you want to survive with your own ability, it will be absolutely fine. With more than one million gold coins, you can carry your head by yourself.
It took half a year, but now I don’t need it anymore. I have it directly, but only if I can run out. I spent a thousand gold coins to buy a good horse, brought dry food and water out of the city, and headed towards
Xi Mian started running wildly. As long as Li never dealt with him, it would be two days before Wu Yashi wanted to deal with him. Two days later, he would find a place to settle down.
Li Cong was not as anxious as that guy. Li Cong drank the water in the teacup slowly. This was very expensive. Now his tea leaves are also available, and they are the best.
You can't buy it for one hundred thousand gold coins. Now this is the best tea. It costs five thousand gold coins for a pot. Except for my own house, this tea house has sold more than a hundred pots of this tea tonight.
The profits from this tea are really huge, no wonder I have so many customers.
Li Cong's team is already ready. Li Cong's plan is very simple, which is to kidnap Lan Shan's family outside the city. Normally, Lan Shan would have gone through it at all costs, but at this time, Li Cong
It's really uncertain. If this guy thinks that the whole family is more important than his wife and children, he may not be able to get through. Then he will have to find other ways. He really can't find one in a short time. The team's
The efficiency of the work was very fast. In less than 20 minutes, the news came back. They had succeeded. Lanshan's wife and two children had all been caught. They had also asked the housekeeper there to report back to the city.
I went, and the condition was to interview Lanshan and ask him for something. If he asked for a ransom, it wouldn't be interesting at all. I guess Lanshan would get it easily. Lanshan has a very deep feeling for this wife.
Yes, now it depends on how deep the Blue Mountain can go. I wonder if he will leave the city because of this.
Lan Shan knew the news when he just returned home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his follower. This guy has been following there all the time. Could it be that he didn't go there this month? Yun Niang thought to herself
Okay, did you ask this guy to come over and say hello? In any case, it is not a good thing for this person to appear in the house, so Lanshan asked this guy to meet him in the study. The ladies behind him were really too
There are too many. If they find out, this family will be noisy for a while. Although there are many mothers-in-law in this family, none of them can catch up with Yun Niang. Even the dozens of children in the family don’t have a single number. Look.
Looking at the children Yun Niang gave birth to, they are all very obedient and very good.
"Why are you here? Is Yun Niang missing me? Go back and tell her that there is nothing going on here. If there is nothing going on, don't call people over. Just ask the people below to take care of you." Lan Shan said casually.
, he also wants to go there, where he can feel at home. He and Yun Niang are husband and wife when they are together. Although there are many wives here, they all ask themselves to help this and that.
To be continued...
