Chapter 294 Knowing and revealing secrets

Zhang Ping hired a ship to carry the golden tripod to Honglu Temple Station, and handed the golden tripod to Aluole. The golden tripod was lost and recovered, which made Aluole extremely grateful. Li Ye asked him to write a list of national gifts, first giving the golden tripod and other national gifts.

Send the gift to the palace to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Arole followed the advice and immediately wrote a list of national gifts. Honglu Temple immediately sent soldiers to stand guard and deliver the national gifts to the palace tomorrow morning.

Li Ye then found the county captain Feng Min and gave him the information about the prairie dogs Wu Mi and Xie Qilang.

At this time, it was already dusk in the afternoon. Li Ye asked his two followers to go back home first. He and Zhang Ping came to the Anranju Restaurant in Pingkangfang.

Zhang Ping ordered more than a dozen dishes and asked for two bottles of sake. He then said slowly to Li Ye: "The Jinding matter is not that simple. The man Bahan showed his white face when he was carrying it yesterday afternoon. One of the people who helped carry it was

The scoundrel's name was Xie Qilang. He discovered that it was the Golden Cauldron, and the news spread. Several people were interested in the Golden Cauldron. One was the night thief Wu Mian, whose nickname was Marmot. He had a good relationship with the scoundrel Xie Qilang.

There is also Cai Lin, the proprietor of the Cai Family Martial Arts School, and he and a dozen of his disciples also participated. The next one is me, but I didn’t expect that the female Taoist priests from the Taiqing Palace were also involved.”

"Continue talking about what happened last night!"

"Wu Mian did it last night. Xie Qilang knew the room where the Jinding was stored. Wu Mian dug a hole and stole the Jinding out. But the door was closed and he couldn't take it away, so he sank into the Cao River. Then Cai Lin and I took action at the same time.

, Wu Mian escaped after being stabbed twice, Cai Lin was also injured by me, and surrendered. I transported the golden tripod to the Wang family temple for preservation, and told the housekeeper that it was a copper tripod, but I never dreamed that a mantis stalks a cicada.

, with the oriole behind, a few female Taoist priests moved it away without any effort."

Li Ye drank a glass of wine and said slowly: "You are indeed a gangster!"

"Brother, a thousand kilograms of golden tripod is equivalent to sixteen thousand taels of gold, worth 160,000 guan. No one can resist this temptation! Besides, they live in the Chamber of Commerce, and everyone thinks it belongs to Sogdian merchants.

Who the hell would have thought it was a national gift?"

"Okay! Let's not talk about this anymore."

Li Ye changed the subject, "What clues do you have about the murder of Yang Guozhong's son?"

Zhang Ping pondered for a moment and said: "Jingzhao Mansion asked my foster father to help investigate this case, but my foster father declined, and then repeatedly ordered us not to allow anyone to be involved in this case."

Li Ye heard something in Zhang Ping's words and became interested immediately. He quickly asked: "Does he know something? Tell me!"

Zhang Ping looked to both sides and lowered his voice: "The dancer named Qiao Furong is not sixteen years old, nor is she a virgin. She is from Goguryeo, active in Youzhou, nicknamed Tong Yan Witch, three years ago

She used the alias Li Qianniang, sold herself in Luoyang to bury her father, and seduced Wang Shaoan, the second son of the family head who was studying at Taixue University. She succeeded in seducing Wang Shaoan, who was kidnapped by her and extorted 100,000 yuan from the family head."

"How to transport one hundred thousand dollars?"

"What you didn't expect was that An Lushan's fleet transported the money away!"

"An Lushan!"

Li Ye's heart sank. Sure enough, he was related to An Lushan. "Go on, has Wang Shaoan returned?"

"The man was released, but he died soon after. He was played to death by that woman. The woman looked innocent, but was actually a devil."

"Then what?"

Zhang Ping sighed and said: "Now that we know that An Lushan is plotting against the Wang family, the head of the family has no choice but to admit it. How dare the head of the family provoke An Lushan?"

"Keep talking!"

"This woman also went by the pseudonym Qiao Furong. She was sixteen years old and still a virgin. She was dancing in the Jiaofang annex. She was recognized by Wang Shaoan's bodyguard at that time. She immediately reported it to the family head, who then ordered that no one should go to the Jiaofang."

Li Ye nodded, "So Yang Xi was actually killed by An Lushan?"

Zhang Ping smiled bitterly and said: "My adoptive father only told me about this matter, so you just have to know what's going on."

Li Ye filled a glass of wine for him and said with a smile, "How are your parents and brothers?"

"They returned to their hometown in Hanzhong. I bought a restaurant for my father in Nanzheng. My brothers are studying in the county school and are doing well. I have done a lot of things and I am afraid that my enemies will retaliate against them."

"Have you ever killed someone?"

Zhang Ping shook his head, "I beat people seriously and one of them died due to ineffective treatment, but I have never killed anyone directly. I don't dare to kill people at will in Chang'an."

"How is my uncle Pei Min doing now?"

"He is now the emperor's personal guard, and I rarely see him. The last time I saw him was when he got married a few months ago."

"Is Pei Min married?" Li Ye asked with interest.

Zhang Ping nodded, "She is one of Lie Feng's disciples. It is said that after waiting for him for many years, he was already more than 20 years old. Pei Min was moved by her infatuation and married her. Now the master is the emperor's guard, and the master wife is

The imperial concubine’s guard is quite interesting.”

"Is Qiao Bin still studying now?" Li Ye asked again.

Zhang Ping shook his head, "He is doing well now. He failed in the Imperial Examination at the beginning of the year, but King Si Ning gave him a chance and arranged for him to join the Chang'an County Government and serve as a household official, a serious civil servant.

We are still drinking together this month, I will make an appointment in a few days to have a drink together!"

Li Ye smiled and nodded. Qiao Bin had saved his mother's life, and Li Ye would always remember it in his heart.

"Do one thing for me!"

"What did you say?"

Li Ye gave him a note, "Black Spear's daughter is in Wugong County, at this address. You arrange for your confidants to send the child to Qiuci, Anxi. I will pay for all the travel expenses, and I will reward you with another three hundred coins."

Zhang Ping patted his chest and said: "Heilian is also my brother, and his daughter is my daughter. It just so happens that the head of the family's caravan is going to Anxi. It seems that it will set off in the next few days. I will make arrangements. Don't worry, it will be done well!"

Li Ye handed him the note, "The address is on it, and there is also a token from Black Spear. I will give it to you later!"

When we came out of the tavern, it was already nightfall. The lights in Pingkangfang were bright, and there were warblers and swallows everywhere, and their sweet voices and laughter were sultry. This was the most prosperous place for fireworks in Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty.

"Little Fatty, do you have a woman?" Li Ye hugged Zhang Ping's arm and asked with a smile.

Zhang Ping scratched his head in embarrassment, "Speaking of which, do you still know her?"

"who?"

"Lin Jiaohua from Lin's Pharmacy was the number one beauty in our Yonghefang back then."

Li Ye opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. There is no more wonderful encounter in life than this! Zhang Xiaopang didn't say a word and actually got the precious daughter of the boss Lin. He even went on a blind date without success. This kid is so talented.

It’s called Returning Home!

"Does this mean that Lin Datiejiong will become your father-in-law?"

"That's almost it! The engagement has been made and we will get married in two years."

Li Ye suddenly discovered that many Yingying Yanyan on both sides seemed to know Zhang Ping and were ogling him, so he slapped Zhang Ping on the back of the head and said angrily: "Now that I have a fiancée, I don't come to this kind of place very often.

"

Zhang Ping chuckled, "Anyway, we have to make a living on a knife's edge. If you can be happy, just count it as a day!"

This seems to make sense!

Li Ye was originally going to move to Taipingfang today, but due to the Jinding incident, Li Ye could only stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion for one more night.

Being in the Prime Minister's Mansion was actually not bad, but those uncles and aunts didn't look good when they saw him, which made Li Ye feel unhappy.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the housekeeper came forward and said: "Thirty-eighth Master, the Prime Minister said that you should go to the study to meet him when you come back. There is something important!"

Li Ye nodded and walked quickly to his grandfather's study.

Walking to the door, Li Ye said: "Grandpa, my grandson is here!"

"Ye'er? Come in!"

Li Ye walked into the room and saw his grandfather Li Linfu reading under the lamp. Li Ye stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "See you, grandfather!"

Li Linfu said with a smile: "I heard that Ba Khanna's golden tripod was stolen and you found it again?"

Li Ye leaned forward and said, "It was the night thief Wu Mi. The county government has offered a reward for his capture."

Li Linfu nodded, "The key is that Jin Ding comes back. The emperor is very interested in Jiulu Ding and will meet with Prince Bhanna tomorrow morning."

"Grandfather, the Bukhan Kingdom was the most loyal vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. All the troops in the country were sent to follow the Tang army to participate in the war. Five thousand people were killed in the eight thousand army. We cannot treat them badly."

Li Linfu smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry! Gao Xianzhi's military report made it clear before, and your report also made it clearer. The emperor was very moved and decided to rename Bahanna to Ningyuan Kingdom and marry the princess.

To the prince, you will also attend the audience tomorrow, and the emperor will summon you specially."

"tomorrow morning?"

Li Linfu nodded, "I will come to court with you tomorrow morning. You can rest early today."

Li Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Is the imperial court still concerned about the assassination of Yang Guozhong's son?"

"This matter has been hanging in the air! What, do you have a clue?"

Li Ye nodded and told the secret Zhang Ping told him. This matter had threatened his grandfather's safety, and he had to let his grandfather know.

Li Linfu was shocked. It turned out that An Lushan secretly planned the assassination time.

This is clearly An Lushan provoking a fight between himself and Yang Guozhong!

This poisonous snake of Anlushan really cannot be taken lightly.
