Chapter 67 There is no more Li Shishi in the world
Chapter 67 There is no more Master Li in the world
The dawn light once again illuminated the bustling city of Tokyo. The streets outside Fan Tower were busy with traffic, and there were many vendors and goons selling pulp from pots.
Master Li was still dressed in a white dress, leaning against the railing and looking at the scene on the street, with a hint of sadness hanging between his brows.
Wang Lin's reputation skyrocketed and he gradually became a meteoric riser.
In fact, she was not worried that Wang Lin would abandon her. She had met countless people in her life, and she was confident that she still had a good eye for recognizing people.
What she was worried about was how, with her current status, she could follow Wang Lin and leave the capital smoothly without causing Lin Lang's reputation to suffer.
She had been worrying about gains and losses for the past two days and could never think of a safe solution.
At this moment, she saw someone.
Cai Tiao, the 17 or 18-year-old Pian Pian Gongzi, the fifth son of Grand Master Cai Jing.
It was Cai Tiao who was originally going to marry Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Maode Emperor.
Cai Tiao has been feeling depressed and irritable these past two days.
He has always admired Zhao Fujin, the fifth daughter of the official family, Emperor Kangfu. At the beginning of the year, his father Cai Jing went to the palace to reveal to Zhao Ji his intention to marry the royal family. The official family did not refuse at the time. But yesterday, Cai Jing brought up the old matter again, but Zhao Ji refused. .
It is said that Zhao Fujin has someone else he likes.
Cai Tiao is the least useful among Cai Jing's sons.
Compared with the eldest son Cai You, he lacks planning, and compared with the third son Cai Chen, he lacks literary talent. Currently, his eldest brother and third brother are all important officials in the court, but he is the only one who is still incapable of doing anything in literature and military, and spends his time at home as his playboy.
Of course, he is not a street bully like Gao Yanei who frequently bullies men, dominates women, and exploits the common people.
That kind of thing is too low-level and he doesn't bother to do it.
It's just that his character is unruly and arrogant, but it is even worse than Gao Yanei.
Especially after Gao Qiu was dismissed from office, the real opponent to the Cai family's power disappeared. Cai Taishi was even more dominant in the court. Cai Tiao's mentality has changed somewhat compared to the past.
Cai Tiao strolled down the street, with his entourage and servants following him from afar.
Cai Tiao looked up at Fan Tower and saw the silhouette of Master Li leaning against the railing, and some thoughts arose in his mind.
He had long wanted to take Master Li back to the Grand Master's Mansion to be a concubine, but he was afraid that the official family would come and go frequently, so he never had the chance to take action.
Recently, there was a letter from the palace saying that the official family seemed to be inhumane and rarely left the palace to look for flowers. Cai Tiao thought that his opportunity had come.
He came here today just for Master Li.
Cai Tiao entered Fan Tower.
However, Cai Tiao did not expect that Master Li would not even see him.
This is a bit uncharacteristic. At least in the past when he came to Fanlou, Master Li would give him a little face, and he would be able to see him once out of three times.
Cai Tiao sneered at Fan Lou steward: "Do you know who I am?"
The steward smiled bitterly and repeatedly held his hands in his hands: "I know I am the fifth son of the Taishi Mansion!"
Cai Tiao was furious: "Now that you know it's me, how dare you stop me from seeing Miss Shishi?"
"I'm sorry, Fifth Young Master, my teacher is not feeling well today, so it's not convenient for us to see guests..."
Cai Tiao sighed, got up and rushed upstairs.
The steward and others who dared to stop Cai Jing's son had no choice but to watch as he rushed up to the third floor and went straight to Master Li's boudoir.
Cai Tiao cupped her hands outside the boudoir and said, "Miss Shishi, I'm Cai Tiao, and I'm here to see you."
Cai Tiao felt that he had fulfilled his courtesy and had given Li Shishi enough face.
But I heard Master Li saying coldly in the room: "Fifth Young Master, please go. I'm sick today and have no intention of seeing guests."
Cai Tiao suppressed his anger: "Miss Shishi, can Mr. Cai be allowed in to visit the patient?"
"No. It's inconvenient for me to have many slaves. Please don't force me to make things difficult for you, Fifth Young Master."
Li Shishi's voice was extremely cold. Cai Tiao couldn't hold it in any longer. He suddenly became angry and kicked open the door.
Li Shishi's fragrant shoulders are half exposed, wrapped in a sheet and nestled on the bed, with her graceful and graceful figure looming.
Cai Tiao couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, laughed dryly, and sat down on the bed.
Master Li shouted angrily: "Cai Tiao, you are so rude... get out of here!"
Cai Tiao was also dizzy for a moment, and he couldn't care about so many things because of his lust. He struggled to pull open the sheet that Master Li was wrapped in, and saw a sharp dagger tightly grasped in the lady's hand, with a cold light shining in it. .
Cai Tiao sneered: "You are a brothel girl, how can you pretend to be a chaste and fierce woman?"
"People named Cai, don't think that just because you are Cai Jing's son, you can do whatever you want. If you dare to be rude to me, I will die with you!"
Cai Tiao laughed and rushed forward, "Miss Shishi, I advise you to be more sensible. Come on, come on, throw away the knife, how about you and I having fun?"
However, before Cai Tiao finished speaking, Li Shishi stabbed the dagger in his chest and abdomen without hesitation. Blood flowed out, and her charming face was spattered with blood.
Cai Tiao groaned and covered the wound with his hand, blood flowing between his fingers. He looked at Master Li who was half-kneeling on the bed with an incredulous look, and slowly fell down.
At this time, he smelled an extremely strong smell of grease.
…
Raging fires soared into the sky.
The southeast wind blew fiercely, and the wind helped the fire. Soon the smoke was billowing, and the Fan Tower, a famous building complex covering an extremely large area, was reduced to a sea of flames, which turned almost half of Tokyo red.
So the news spread like wildfire: Cai Tiao climbed to the Fan Tower to force him but failed, so he became angry and made a riot in the Fan Tower and set a fire. As a result, the famous prostitute Li Shishi and the fifth son of Cai Jing were buried in the sea of fire and died unexpectedly.
Fan Tower was reduced to ashes, and there was no more Master Li in the world!
People in Tokyo rushed to tell each other and sighed.
At the same time, the current martial arts examination of the Song Dynasty officially started.
One hundred martial artists who participated in the palace examination were dressed in costumes and rode on horseback. They listened to the roll call at the Yellow Gate of the Chamber of Commerce and entered the palace in formation.
On the small school ground in front of Yanfu Palace, various colorful flags were fluttering in the wind. Zhao Ji, an official of the Song Dynasty, put on the emperor's formal attire that would only be worn by the imperial court, and the civil and military ministers were divided into two classes.
Ma Huishan, the chief officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, rushed out. After announcing the decree, the nine-ton military drums sounded loudly. All the military officials shouted and galloped into the arena. Then they lined up neatly on their horses and sang to the officials and ministers: "Greetings to the officials, My lords!"
Ma Huishan shouted: "Officials have a destiny, and this martial arts examination is to recommend talents who are good at fighting and well-versed in literary, Taoist and military strategies for our Song Dynasty. We must move forward bravely in all military examinations and live up to my expectations!"
…
The red sun hangs high in the foothills of Ziyang Mountain outside Bianliang City.
A carriage came quickly and stopped in front of Zhenyuan Temple.
A female Taoist priest in plain clothes, wearing a veil, got out of the car and walked towards the mountain gate surrounded by two old Taoist priests who had been waiting for her for a long time.
The moment she entered the mountain gate, the female Taoist priest turned around silently and stared in the direction of Tokyo for a long time, letting out a faint sigh.
Then she turned around lightly, stepped into the steps of Zhenyuan Temple, and the heavy mountain door slowly closed.
