Chapter seven hundred and thirty drinking porridge
Young Master Liu looked at Liu Zhi'an's serious look and hurriedly patted his face: "No, no, what did I come to do for you? You forgot all about it!"
Liu Zhi'an pulled out the chair and leaned on it: "Do you want to ask about King Huainan or about my daughter-in-law?"
Young Master Liu sat on the chair and crossed the table with half of his body in front of Liu Zhi'an: "Who is the red dragon?"
Liu Zhi'an's face changed, and he looked at Young Master Liu with a somewhat uncertain expression, his eyes wandering for a moment: "That's nonsense, how do I know who the red dragon is? Isn't this something you, as the Imperial Envoy, should investigate?
"
"Why are your eyes so wandering? You don't know who the Red Dragon is and who the White Lotus Cult Master is. You should know by now, right? Who said that he was the king of the underground in Jiangnan? As the saying goes, you show your skills in difficult situations. Now I'm in trouble.
Old man, why don’t you express your gratitude?”
Liu Zhi'an shook his head in embarrassment: "I really don't know who the leader of the White Lotus is? You have to investigate this yourself. I can't help you with anything!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Zhi'an unwillingly: "Really don't know?"
"I really don't know. This guy has always acted mysteriously, and ten years ago his temperament changed drastically and he began to hide his behind-the-scenes information. I also sent Brother Liu Ye to investigate but found nothing!"
Mr. Liu sat weakly on the chair: "Okay, I thought you could provide me with something useful?"
"Actually, you can consider King Huainan's suggestion. After all, it's better not to get involved in the Red Dragon matter. Although I'm not afraid of getting into trouble, I despise the endless harassment and it's very annoying!"
"You know this too? We just finished talking for about an hour!"
Liu Zhi'an blew the tea in his hand: "Do you think you won? Is it really you who forced the King of Huainan to surrender and plead guilty?"
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Mingzhi stared at Liu Zhi'an who was talking nonsense and couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Liu Zhi'an put the tea cup on the table: "Remember, it's not that you won, it's that King Huainan doesn't want to play, or that he doesn't dare to play, it's not that you successfully solved the tax problem immediately.
The problem!"
Liu Mingzhi pursed his lips and did not answer Liu Zhi'an's words. He knew that what Liu Zhi'an said was not wrong. If Li Yugang hadn't wanted to keep the Red Dragon, he might not have given up.
In this way, even if he could obtain evidence of Li Yugang's crime, it would still take him a while.
If you want to sway with a royal relative, even if you have the identity of an imperial envoy and Shang Fang Zhan Ma Jian as your backing, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
The King of Huainan has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years, and Liu Mingzhi doesn't even believe it.
If so, the more curious Liu Mingzhi becomes about the identity of the red dragon, the person a prince is willing to sacrifice himself to protect will definitely not be much worse than him in terms of identity.
It can even be said that it will only become more important.
Liu Mingzhi really wanted to ride a horse and rush to the Jin Kingdom Palace to ask the Queen about the identity of the red dragon, but it was just a hot idea in his head.
The queen may tell herself the identity of the red dragon, but the consequence may be that she will stay in the Kingdom of Jin forever and be unable to return.
Since the Queen is planning this matter, she will never miss a chance!
Wan Yan, Wan Yan, can't you just calm down for a while?
Liu Zhi'an stood up and patted Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder: "You still have a long way to go. If you don't have Jiangnan Liu to back you up, you have to be careful!"
Before Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses, he felt a porcelain bottle being stuffed into the palm of his hand by Liu Zhian, and it felt cold!
"Old man, what is this?"
"Didn't you ask me what I can do for you?"
"Yeah, what is this?"
Liu Zhi'an yawned: "I noticed that you have been a little submissive when facing Yun girl these days. This thing can make you tougher and make you a real man!"
Liu Dashao looked down at the label on the porcelain bottle in his hand and exclaimed awkwardly: "Shiquan Dabu Pill?"
Liu Zhi'an clapped his fingers and muttered: "If there's no problem, my daughter-in-law will be back soon, so keep it in case you need it! Just be prepared!"
Liu Mingzhi looked a little embarrassed and was completely speechless looking at the unscrupulous old man.
"Old man, I'm here to discuss business with you. Why do you keep getting these things for me? I don't need them!"
"The business is that I don't know anything. I want to solve the case and investigate it myself. I can't help you. It's useless to call me! You are the imperial envoy, and I am a merchant. If the imperial envoy asks a merchant for advice, you are not afraid of spreading the word.
It will make people laugh!"
"You really don't know who the Red Dragon is?"
"I really don't know, how many times have you said it? Are you deaf?"
Liu Zhi'an complained to Young Master Liu and snatched away the porcelain bottle: "You said you won't need it. Don't blame me for being stingy. I have something to do and leave first!"
What else did Liu Mingzhi want to say? Liu Zhianti slipped away the sack and left the inner courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi sighed helplessly and walked out of the study room with his head hanging. He always felt that Liu Zhi'an's attitude today was very different from his previous attitude, and his words were even more confusing.
Sometimes I can understand, sometimes I just look confused and don't know what the old man means.
I can’t understand it at all!
"Zhi'er!"
"Mother!"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi left the study door, Mrs. Liu came over with Liu Laosi in her arms, looking at Mr. Liu with indescribable kindness in his eyes.
Mrs. Liu looked at Mr. Liu up and down and her eyes were a little distressed: "Why are you so thin? Tell me, your military camp is just outside the city. It doesn't take much time to go home every day. You have to live in the camp to do this."
What, you can’t eat well or sleep well! Look how thin you have become!”
Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and tidied up Mrs. Liu's fallen hair: "Mom, if the general does not remove his armor, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, if he cannot lead by example, how will he convince the people in the future? If he does not love soldiers as sons, how can the soldiers do it?
Why don't you follow me and shed blood? My son has grown up, what should I do if he can't bear this little pain!"
"Yes, yes, you have grown up, but you will always be a child in your mother's eyes. You have already married and established a business, so you can't listen to your mother's nagging anymore!"
"Of course not, mother, don't tell me that you want to nag your son. It doesn't matter if you are unhappy and give me a beating. In the eyes of your son, your mother will always be the best! By the way, why haven't you met me?
As for Mingli and Xuan'er, these two guys usually like to chatter the most, but they are really not used to the sudden silence!"
Mrs. Liu's eyes were a little worried: "Xuan'er was taken to the East China Sea by your grandfather, saying that he wanted to teach her how to practice the Bai family's Tiangang Finger. Xuan'er also liked the child herself, so after discussing it with your father, she went to the East China Sea!
"
"Where's Mingli?"
"Your father sent you to the Imperial Academy to study. My mother is not used to the deserted home after you three left. Her wings are all stiff and she can no longer control you!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Mrs. Liu's misty eyes and hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, the eaglets will never grow up under the protection of their parents. Besides, it's not you who forced them to go.
After all, you have to walk your own road!"
"Okay! Mom can't help you anymore. Mom is going to find a wet nurse for your brother. You go and accompany Yun'er!"
"knew!"
After watching Mrs. Liu leave, Mr. Liu walked towards his room with his hands behind his back: "Husband!"
Before entering the house, Qi Yun had just finished taking a shower and was still a little wet. She stood by the door and came out.
"Madam, why did you come out? Be careful to catch a cold!"
Qi Yun's cheeks were a little red, and she slowly took her husband's arm and nuzzled into the room.
"Come on, follow me into the house to drink porridge!"
