Master Li sat quietly in the pavilion, facing a furnace of fragrance with dull eyes... Huan'er lowered her head and brought a cup of tea: "Girl, drink some tea!"
Li Shishi shook his head... took out a close-fitting sachet and held it in his hand. There were no top-quality spices worth thousands of gold in the sachet, just a little licorice and sandalwood, and a few candied fruits that had been dried for a long time. That was written by Song Wen of that year.
He happily climbed over the wall to see her and secretly gave her snacks of candied fruits! The green slave has been reluctant to eat these few left... and he actually keeps them until now!
Huan'er sighed... "Miss, are you thinking about Brother Wen again?"
Master Li, the green slave, raised his head and said, "By the way, is there any news about him in Bianliang now? Where is he now?"
Huan'er looked around, and then whispered: "I heard from people outside that I am now working for Captain Gao. He got a county inspection official position and went to do business with the Liao people... Humph, anyway, I heard from Gao Yanei
His attendant said! He lived a happy and carefree life... The girl has been thinking about him for several years, but he didn’t say anything about saving her from the sea of misery!"
Master Li sighed... "Zixuanlou has a deep collusion with several dignitaries in the imperial court, and Gao Dianshuai is not that proud... I have not been in Bianliang in the past few years, so even if he wanted to save him, he would not be able to save him..."
"Girls are just soft-hearted... How many men in this world can be in love? Only power is eternal... Women's life is the most miserable. Girls must be good, otherwise they will be like that Lady Miaoyin...
……Forget it."
Master Li frowned: "What are you talking about without any clue? What happened to Lady Miaoyin?"
Huan'er looked around, then came over and whispered in Master Li's ear for a while... Master Li sighed and turned pale.
Huan'er curled her lips and said, "That is to say, Gao Yanei foolishly believed her lies... Those Yanei were outside adding fuel to the fire and making Mrs. Miaoyin's point..."
"That's enough... don't say any more!"
Li Shishi stood up with a pale face and said coldly: "Having Gao Yanei take care of her is better than being ruined by those guys who have been thinking about her for a long time... If she can be a concubine with Gao Yanei in the future, it will be considered
She has escaped from the sea of misery! Don’t spread random gossip...it will harm others and you will end up harming yourself. Those things...if she says they don’t happen, just pretend they don’t happen!"
"Oh, Huan'er knows! Huan'er won't spread such gossip in the future..."
Master Li sighed... "I'm tired, I need to take a rest... Go to the kitchen to see if there are any candied fruits and porridge, and bring them to me when I wake up!"
"Yes, girl, rest first, Huan'er will go take a look right now."
Master Li stood up and left. When he walked to the door of the house, he raised his head and glanced at his confidant maid...and then slowly closed the door.
Xiao Fuzi quietly looked at Wazi Street in the night, brightly lit and noisy... The Oiran Convention and Lady Miaoyin's rosy anecdotes stirred up the hearts of many old women, and many ladies on Wazi Street were talking about it.
I took the opportunity to make a lot of money.
For some reason, Mr. Li chose the teahouse that Song Wen had rented all year round. Now all the madams in charge of Wazi Street are Zixuanlou’s confidants. Mr. Li usually no longer shows up in Wazi Street and sits in the teahouse.
I look through my accounts, take a long look at this brightly lit paradise on earth, and take a sip of tea...that's it.
But now the letter in his hand shocked him!
Mrs. Lan has been kidnapped...and the Jinling Li family has received a letter from Song Wen! If he wants to save his eldest lady, he has to exchange half of the money from Wazi Street with a green slave...
There were actually two letters in Mr. Li's hand, one from the second head of the family... The letter asked Mr. Li to rescue the third lady, Mrs. Lan, as appropriate! The rest was left to him to take care of!
The other letter was actually from the head of the family, telling him in a stern tone... Li Shishi should not delay his presentation to the emperor! Don't worry about money or anything else, bribe the ministers and eunuchs around Song Huizong at all costs, paving the way for Li Shishi to gain favor.
...As for the kidnapped Lady Lan, except for Li Shishi, the matter cannot be discussed, and the rest can use money to stabilize Song Wen! It would rather sacrifice Lady Lan than delay Li Shishi's presentation to the emperor...
Mr. Li sighed, this is going to be difficult... The head of the family wants to ensure that Master Li enters the palace first, and then see if Song Wen can be killed in Bianliang! Although rescuing Miss Lan is ranked third...
But if I fail to rescue the third lady, what will happen to me in the future?
Even if the head of the family lets him go, what about the second head of the family? Then Li Wei is the one who dotes on his grandniece the most.
Mr. Li was still hesitating. Suddenly, a confidant, a turtle, ran up the stairs, panted and bowed at the door of the house to report... "Sir, someone has sent a letter!"
"Oh, who is here?"
"Two young men should have weapons hidden on their bodies. Ask the younger one to give this letter to the husband!"
So fast?
Mr. Li was shocked... If Miss Lan was really kidnapped by Song Wen, it was at the hands of Jinling! Jinling... that is the foundation of the Li family! The Li family has thousands of private soldiers.
Plus Xu Hu and those guys... Song Wen, a small Zhizhai, had at least three to five hundred soldiers under his command. Besides, without an order from the imperial court, how could he, a small Zhizhai, dare to lead his troops south?
Could it be said that he dared to go to Jiangnan to kidnap and rescue people with only a few people? Is he a heavenly soldier or a heavenly general?
How many days has it been? I just received the news that my young lady was kidnapped, and here they came to attack aggressively?
This must mean that the young lady is exchanged for a green slave, that is, Mr. Li... What should I do? The head of the family will not let him go. He worked hard to pave the way for Mr. Li in Bianliang and spent countless money to let several eunuchs secretly
Encourage Song Huizong Zhao Ji to be interested in Master Li, and spend a lot of money to buy a few officials and some powerful people so as not to disturb the emperor's interest!
Seeing that Zhao Ji has taken the bait, the lingering Song Wen actually kidnapped his own lady in exchange for Master Li?
There are no doors...
Opening the letter, Mr. Li read it carefully...the writing was sloppy but clearly organized, and there was no nonsense!
...If she doesn't change people, Mrs. Lan will cut off her tongue and sell it to a prostitute in another place to pick up a client! Three months after receiving the client, she will cut off the head and send it to the door of Zixuan Tower...Li Liang is ready to pick up the body!
Mr. Li Liang was so angry that his heart ached for a while... He was so greedy... Are you trying to kill me? After the torture, you will pick up the guests and then give the head to me? Does this mean that the young lady was killed by him?
In this way, even if the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty is successful, the Li family will become emperors again in the future! I will never leave a whole corpse, right? The second head of the family alone will never let me live!
