Chapter 65: Response
"Run?" Shi Lei leaned over to his eldest brother and whispered, "The boat is waiting on the dock, and it will arrive in a quarter of an hour!"
Xu Chen's face was expressionless, and he raised his hand at his head!
"Stay put!"
This time the strength was not small, Shi Lei held his head in his hands, and muttered with an aggrieved face: "Didn't you say that you would run away if you had something......
Xu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned back to Lu Hao and said, "You guys go back first! I'll go with them, don't worry, it'll be fine!"
Lu Hao frowned slightly, and nodded lightly: "Okay, I'm waiting for you at home!"
As he spoke, Xu Chen took a few steps forward and said to the young general with a smile: "Am I riding a car or a horse?"
……
After Xu Chen left, the lights in the Xiangfu study were still on.
Xu Fan behind the desk had a calm face and asked slowly, "How is it?"
Shi Nanting listened, smiled bitterly, and shook his head slightly: "I went to a few houses, some said they didn't know, some only asked me to drink, and the rest didn't even let me in, and the better ones also knew that the master was not there, otherwise they would simply say that today is not the day to pay New Year's greetings......"
Xu Fan chuckled, with Xiao Suo and loneliness: "It turns out that I, the prime minister, are so worthless!"
Shi Nanting sighed slightly, and hurriedly persuaded: "Xiangye, you must mind! After all, your reign is still short, and these people are all big families, so it is inevitable that they will ......."
Xu Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to comfort me, I understand! They are really very! If I can give them benefits, they will naturally be happy to follow me, if I can't give them what they want one day, they will naturally not remember who I am!"
The reason why the saint reuses Li Linfu is not only because he has the means and ability, but also because he has a shallow background and a thin foundation, and he has little to do with those wealthy families. ”
"It's just that Li Linfu is too powerful! Even the saints are inevitably jealous, so there is a day when I become prime minister. ”
"Of course, I don't have any background!" Xu Fan smiled bitterly: "But the only difference is that those people behind Li Linfu can listen to him, although they are also careful, but who makes the family accumulate great power! ”
"So, I'm not as good as him!"
Looking at Xu Fan's decadent appearance, Shi Nanting didn't know how to speak for a while, so he had to say gently: "Even if there is a little accident in this incident, after all, the saint still needs Xiangye, maybe ......"
Xu Fan shook his head and sneered: "You haven't seen Jinshang, so I don't know what kind of person he is!"
"Thirty years ago, maybe he still talked about some feelings, but now he is already a mature emperor, and the emperor is the most ruthless! He may really have some feelings for Yang Yuhuan, but he ...... us courtiers."
Shi Nanting was shocked and said hurriedly: "Has the situation reached this point?"
Xu Fan took a deep breath, cheered up and said: "What are you panicking about! As long as a knife is still sharp, the person holding the knife will not be in a hurry to change it, after all, it is not easy to find a suitable knife." ”
"Although the little brother is disobedient, everyone has already taken action, and I, the big guy, can't I not react a little, right?"
Hearing this, Shi Nanting was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Where is Xiangye going to start?"
"Hehe, since everyone is fighting the idea of these tributes, then I'll also join in the fun!" Xu Fan smiled: "Tomorrow, you will spread the news, just say that I want to hold a literary meeting, and take advantage of the Chinese New Year to invite all the famous talents in Chang'an City to come and get together, meet friends with poems, and comment by the way!"
"Xingjuan?" Shi Nanting understood after a while, clapped his hands and smiled: "Not bad!
"Now that the left minister is gone, and the right minister is only rough and ink, Xiang Ye, a serious Jinshi and the first, is indeed the most noble master in Chang'an City today!"
Xu Fan smiled smugly: "I'm also a prime minister, someone should come!"
"That's inevitable!" Shi Nanting said with a smile: "The reason why those poor students will take risks is nothing more than that they were promised benefits by wealthy families, but now that there is a bright opportunity for them to enter the ranks, how can these cold students lose their arrogance after studying hard for more than ten years?"
"Go ahead and arrange it!"
"Good!"
Shi Nanting then walked away quickly.
Xu Fan leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes.
Uncle Xu hurriedly came in, leaned into Xu Fan's ear, and said softly: "The eldest prince has been taken to Jingzhao Mansion!"
Xu Fan didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "It's okay, Luo Xixiao is just a dog, and the stinky boy dares to kill even a tiger......"
Under the dark night sky, the earth was dark, and in this dark world, Chang'an City was like a stranger, brightly lit.
It's just that now at night, in a place in the city where the lights can't shine, there are figures moving.
"How can this be reasonable! Li Linfu, a traitor, dares to be so bold!"
"What are you yelling about, are you afraid that the eagle dog won't hear you?"
"Do you think Li Linfu dares to do this blatantly? Didn't you hear them say that this was acting on orders?"
……
"This ...... Didn't you say it would be fine?"
"That's it, those people can promise to be good, but now that something happens, they can't ignore it!"
……
"Did the person sent to contact him come back?
"Not ...... yet"
"It's back! it's back!"
……
"What? What do you mean by waiting and seeing? We have been captured by the eagle dog so many times in the same year!"
"Who are they not going to know?"
"Is that reasonable! Playing us like monkeys?"
……
"Go, ask again! If they still don't care about our life or death, it's a big deal!"
"Yes!
……
There is more than one such movement, but it is generally the same. Due to Li Linfu's sudden move, some of the backhands prepared in advance did not stop.
The undercurrent, it seems, is calm again.
Of course, this is only the surface......
Wan Shijun also said goodbye to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and on the carriage, the coachman rushed to the car unhurriedly, while reporting the latest news.
"Li Linfu arrested a group of people, and now Luo Xizao is interrogating...... There was still no movement on the Prince's side...... The steward of Chan Xilie's house went out to buy vegetables several times today...... Shouwang also contacted several families...... As for the An Lushan who entered the post house as soon as he left the palace, he never came out, and the Fan Yang cavalry outside the city also drank in the camp and never went out......"
Wan Shijun listened carefully, and suddenly asked, "What about Xu Chen, how are his brothers?"
"The head of the house has instructed that the ones in the East Market are all good hands!" It's just that ......" The coachman hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that the courtyard seems to be a little strange, and our people don't dare to get too close!"
"That's nature!" Wan Shijun said with a smile: "Formation!
After laughing, he asked, "What about Hachi, did you receive his letter?"
The coachman shook his head: "No! It doesn't seem to be in Chang'an! They still have Zhuangzi outside the city, maybe there, but there are masters there, and it's even more difficult to get close." ”
"Forget it, let him go!"
"Oh, that's right!" The coachman said again: "The news just came that Jingzhao Mansion has arrested another person, it is the team led by Jin Wuwei's general, the scholar's appearance seems to be a bit like Xu Chen, the whole team of Jin Wuwei are masters, and they don't dare to get too close, so they don't see it clearly." ”
"He?" Wan Shijun pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Forget it, even he won't be mad in Jingzhao Mansion, he can't make it!"
"Our plans are business as usual!"
"Good!"
The curtain was lowered, but the carriage was still stable.
Wan Ping in the carriage asked with some doubts: "Forgive your subordinates for being stupid, and you still don't understand why the head of the family is involved in this court dispute?"
Wan Shijun smiled: "Some people are laying out, some people know that someone is laying out but are willing to be chess pieces, and some people just want to use this game of chess for their own benefits, and this game of chess is just a wisp of wind at the end of Qingping for me......"
In the Jingzhao Mansion, the questioning continued, but there was a little less wailing.
After all, they are just some inexperienced scholars, where can they stand the devil-like methods of Luo Xizao, just a little coercion, and then rush to confess.
It's just that these people aren't even on the periphery, and where do they know any secrets, and even some of the secrets they think they know are just the fog deliberately released by the people behind them.
"What the hell is this!"
Looking at these chaotic and contradictory confessions, Luo Xizao couldn't help but scold.
He is an old criminal, and he can tell the truth from the false, he knows that what these scholars are telling is the truth, but it is precisely because of this that he is even more upset.
At first, Ji Wen found him and said something, and he originally thought that it should be an order from Xiangye, so he did it.
didn't expect to find out that Xiangye didn't know anything in the end, so he naturally panicked!
Although he relied on Ji Wen's recommendation to enter Li Linfu's eyes, but now he is Li Linfu's person after all, not Ji Wen's younger brother, and doing such a dangerous thing from the boss, Luo Xizao is naturally worried in his heart.
Fortunately, Xiangye nodded later, and Luo Xizao, who had won the quasi-letter, naturally wanted to work hard to make achievements, after all, Ji Wen, who was originally called a brother and sister to him, was now wearing red and purple and ranking in the court class.
He is also a person with pursuits!
It's just that this thing is not easy to do at the moment, people have caught a lot, but none of them are enough, they are all small fish and shrimp, and the confession asked is useless.
This makes him, how is it good?
"Your Excellency!" rang out the voice of the officer.
"What's the noise! Didn't you say it's okay, don't bother me?"
"Big ...... General Qin said that he had caught a scholar and might be the main culprit......"
"What?" The door opened suddenly, and Luo Xizao didn't have time to put on his official hat, so he hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?"
"It's already locked up in the back office!"
"Let's go, I'll go over now, you have the guy ready!"
"Yes!"
Luo Xizao hurried over, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a white-clothed scholar sitting neatly, and even had time to look at a pair of calligraphy hanging in front of the hall.
