Chapter 556 The tail (for the leader of the Qinglong Mountain King
The carriage drove into Taojia Lane.
Li Zhaocheng lifted the curtain and took a look behind him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, there is someone watching over there, there is no tail."
"That's good."
Li Zhaocheng got off the carriage and walked quickly into the house.
"Is Li Jieshuai here?"
"Yes, I am talking to Mr. Yang in the hall."
Li Zhaocheng then walked quickly to the hall.
~~
Gui Hepu hurried to the hall and saw Jia Sidao lazily leaning on the imperial chair, talking to Liao Yingzhong.
"I haven't seen such a poor display of loyalty in many years. It's simply unsightly."
"It must be far inferior to Alang."
"Don't compare him with me. I will be loyal to Your Majesty."
Gui Hepu stepped forward and saluted: "Alang, we found it. After Wu Qian returned home, someone did come out not long after, but he followed him to Hangcheng Street and lost him."
"Lost?"
"Yes, several carriages were blocked on the road. By the time our people squeezed through, they were gone."
“It’s so late at night and it’s still so crowded.”
Jia Sidao laughed and cursed, then turned to Liao Yingzhong and asked, "Are the two northerners we are chasing what Wu Qian is holding?"
"Yes, I'm afraid he will investigate the Ezhou War soon."
"Then let him go and investigate." Jia Sidao disagreed and said leisurely: "I, Jia Sidao, imitated Tong Guan, falsely reported his military exploits, paid tribute to Kublai Khan and declared himself a vassal, deceived the world, and claimed to have defeated a hundred thousand heroes. I am guilty of this crime.
Forgive me. If Wu Qian doesn't dare to investigate thoroughly, he is my good grandson."
"It seems that Wu Qian's resignation is not far away."
"The old guy is more capable than Ding Daquan. Now that he's in the coffin, he's even better. In the past, even Uncle Xie Fang couldn't beat him."
Liao Yingzhong said: "It must be because... I want to do more things when I get older and am willing to be flexible."
"I want to do more stupid things." Jia Sidao sneered: "If the official family has no biological heirs, it is impossible for the old man to do what he wants. There is absolutely no possibility."
"Too stubborn." Liao Yingzhong shook her head and sighed, and said, "Now Li Xia has also joined Wu Qian?"
"Three surnamed family slaves." Jia Sidao suddenly became thoughtful and said slowly: "But it shouldn't be. Li Xia shouldn't be colluding with Wu Qianhang. He clearly knows that now that things have happened, Wu Qian has only one way to go...forcing Li Xia
Yong died to frame King Zhong."
"As soon as Li Yong comes forward, Li Xia will die. There is absolutely no possibility of Li Xia cooperating with Wu Qian." Liao Yingzhong mused: "But now, the two have really cooperated."
"Li Xia hid Li Yong?"
"How can Wu Qian believe it?"
Jia Sidao asked slowly: "That means... Li Yong was caught by King Rong when he deceived Wu Qian?"
Liao Yingzhong couldn't help but sigh: "If this is the case, this move is a bit sophisticated. It can temporarily turn the impossible into possible, grab a gap, and escape from a dead situation."
"He wants to return to Shu to take charge of the army, but his purpose is at odds with Wu Qian's. There will definitely be a big conflict."
"Then next, he will borrow Ding Daquan's strength again?"
"Oh, the slaves of the third surname."
Liao Yingzhong stood up, walked a few steps, and said thoughtfully: "Li Xia took the initiative, asked himself to return to the court, and asked to resign. He understood His Majesty's thoughts correctly and worked step by step. It's a pity that Alang saw through his plan, but he couldn't find it.
Get the evidence to expose him."
There was a bit of coldness in Jia Sidao's eyes, and he said: "This boy's foundation is too shallow and his actions are too rampant. He is already in danger... As for now, he has only survived the first calamity."
"Alang wants to take action?"
"No need. After the palace examination, we will eliminate Ding Daquan; please establish the crown prince and then eliminate Wu Qian. Li Xia will take advantage of the fact that the two of them have too much power and deep connections. They are both 'Yan Li Dingdang' and the loyal enemy of the king... How dare you think about it?"
For the position of Commander-in-Chief of Shu, these two major battles alone will burn him to pieces."
Liao Yingzhong responded: "Students understand and will continue to send people to keep an eye on..."
~~
The next day, Fenglianlou.
"Li Jieshuai, please use it."
Hu Zhen held up a cup of tea and handed it to Li Xia with both hands.
Li Xia took it and said: "Mother Hu is too polite. I don't have many friends in Lin'an, but you are one of them."
Hu Zhen lowered his head and responded respectfully: "I don't dare to be a slave. The slave family is just a prostitute, but Li Jieshuai is a high-ranking official."
Back then, when Li Xia came to Fenglian Tower for the first time, she could still chat and laugh a few words with Hu Zhen.
Things are different now. From a county captain to a Shu commander, there is a huge difference.
The bigger gap is that even the owners of Fenglian Tower, from Guan De to Dong Songchen, have lost their Sacred Hearts, and it is not as good as Li Xia who can speak in front of the officials.
Hu Zhen didn't understand this, but she could understand that her employer also wanted to curry favor with Li Jieshuai.
The status was too high, and it was impossible for her to talk and laugh freely in front of Li Xia.
"Wow, Lieutenant Li is really awesome. If I were more than ten years younger, I would want to be with you for free... Please, don't delay my business."
This kind of joke will never happen again.
"That being the case, I, as a high official, would like to ask." Li Xia said: "When I left Lin'an, you said that you would try your best to treat the child you raised by yourself... where is the person?"
Hu Zhen was frightened and hurriedly knelt down.
"Don't blame Li Jieshuai. The Nu family is open for business, and someone comes to ransom An An. They are so powerful that the Nu family really can't refuse."
"Where did Jia Sidao take the people?"
"I only know that he is not in Lin'an." Hu Zhen said: "The Nu family sent people to inquire, but there is no news at all in the past two years. He must not be in Lin'an City anymore."
Li Xia asked again: "Are you still looking for information for Dong Songchen?"
"Yes... However, in this business now, only the Jiaofang and Fenglian Tower are still owned by the owner. The rest of the brothels, painting houses, bookstores, teahouses, and wine shops are mostly owned by Mr. Jia..."
Li Xia listened silently, knowing that when Yan Martin returned to the court after three years, the situation was about to end, and he was far from the arrogance he once had.
Hu Zhen knelt for a while and asked in a low voice: "What Li Jieshuai wants to know has been told by the slave family. Chief Guan has been waiting for a long time. Can you please meet with Li Jieshuai?"
"Let Guande come over."
…
In the attic, the fair-faced and beardless Guan De raised his orchid finger from time to time, speaking in an urgent and angry tone.
"Why do we get together like this? It's not all Li Jieshuai's fault... If the imperial concubine hadn't planned the word 'Jeshuai' for you and lost the Holy Family, wouldn't it matter..."
"Ji Xixi also had her conscience eaten by a dog. How much did we teach Mother Hu to spend on raising her? After entering the palace, even the basin was made of gold. Now that she is good, she has become a rival, and repay kindness with hatred..."
"Li Jieshuai, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. We are both prosperous and destructive. Don't forget who sent the letter that slandered Jia Sidao? Without us, you can't fight against Jia Sidao."
Is it like Tao? Bah..."
"How can we hold on now? If it weren't for Yan Guifei's affection for raising Princess Rui for many years, we and the officials would have died eight hundred times..."
"Xiang Ding? Xiang Ding can't rely on us to speak for him, but it's easy to teach Li Jieshuai to know that if Ding Xiang is going to die, if he doesn't drag you to die with him, he will be born with that green face in vain..."
"In short, if Li Jieshuai wants us to help, we must find a way to save Yan Guifei first..."
~~
In an elegant boudoir in Fenglian Tower, a singer plucked the strings and began to sing.
"There is no need to raise eyebrows. It is windy, rainy and cold in spring. The pond is small and full of water. Just for the willow flowers, I forget Lin'an..."
Zhou Zhenyan walked in, frowned when he heard these words, and said to the singer: "Get out."
"Brother Fuling, what's wrong?" Cui Xiangqing was listening attentively, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Singing Liu Chenweng's lyrics shows no discernment." Zhou Zhenyan chuckled softly and said, "This Fenglian Tower is getting worse and worse."
Cui Xiangqing couldn't help but be surprised, thinking to himself how could such a good place not be available.
The topic couldn't go on, so he had to pour a glass of wine for Zhou Zhenyan and asked casually: "Why has Brother Fuling been away from Gong for so long?"
"Meeting an old friend."
"who?"
"Li..." Zhou Zhenyan chuckled softly and said calmly: "Tang Bohu."
"Who is this person? Is he famous?"
"I wrote a crooked poem." Zhou Zhenyan sneered, "It spread throughout Lin'an two or three years ago. Have you never heard of it?"
"Brother Fu Ling, I only entered Beijing this year to take the Enke exam."
"Xingzai. Lin'an is 'Xingzai'. Don't always say it is 'Beijing', so that others can hear and look down on you." Zhou Zhenyan reminded.
"Okay, Xingzai." Cui Xiangqing said: "I don't understand, what is the difference between this Xingzai and the capital, why does it have to be called 'Xingzai'?"
"No reason." Zhou Zhenyan drank wine, as if thinking about something, his eyes gradually became anxious.
"Brother Fuling, why did you invite me here?"
Zhou Zhenyan held the wine glass and asked: "You failed in Enke, are you planning to return to Dangtu?"
"Of course, in Beijing... food and accommodation are too expensive in Beijing. I'll tell you the truth. I'm very strapped for money, so I borrowed a lot of money to go to Beijing to take the exam. I never expected that I would fail."
Zhou Zhenyan shook his head, it would be weird if he secretly hit the target.
He took out a purse from his sleeve, pushed it over, lowered his voice and said, "Do me a favor, okay?"
Cui Xiangqing opened it and was surprised and happy.
"Silver...silver?"
Zhou Zhenyan tapped his slender fingers on the table with a chaotic rhythm and asked: "Agreed?"
"do what?"
A porcelain bottle was pushed over the eucalyptus again.
"Simple." Zhou Zhenyan said, "When you return to Dangtu, come to my house and help my wife fetch water into the water tank."
"Brother Fuling has a wife? How come I don't know?"
"Yeah." Zhou Zhenyan said, "After that, pour the medicine into the water tank."
"Then what?"
"Then." Zhou Zhenyan leaned over and said, "Throw the body into the river..."
~~
"control."
A man quickly walked to the attic and whispered to Liu Jinsuo: "That man said he came to see Tang Bohu."
"Huh? He poked his head around, wasn't he looking at the handsome man?"
"I leaned over and listened. He said that he saw an old friend named Tang Bohu."
Liu Jinsuo frowned and said, "Does anyone in our team of guards have this name?"
"No."
"Did Lao Jiang follow?"
"Follow me. I also heard this beast say that he wanted to kill his wife..."
Liu Jinsuo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked in astonishment: "Kill your wife? Why did you kill your wife?"
"I don't know, but killing him like this is just... I don't know where he came from."
"When Lao Jiang finds out where they live, I will go and kill them at night. I have to tell the commander."
Not long after, Lao Jiang came back quickly.
"Commander, don't dare to follow me, that beast has its tail hanging from behind."
"Tail?" Liu Jinsuo scratched his head, "Can this idiot still have a tail?"
