Chapter 636: Temptation
Li Ke glanced at him, grabbed the cold Lin Yi on the table and ate it in a few bites.
Chai Lingwu got up anxious and asked, "What did you say, what are you selling?"
"What's the hurry, I've been running around all day, and I haven't eaten well. Li Ke glanced at Chai Lingwu.
"Okay, these pastries are for you. Chai Lingwu picked up a plate of pastries next to him and brought it over, "You just hurry up." You know my temper, and I still have such an appetite. ”
Li Ke laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that today this Gao Shilian joined one of the Jiannan Dao Army." ”
"Hey, I've heard about it. Chai Lingwu waved his hand, "This is nothing new. ”
"You're very well-informed, aren't you?" Li Ke seemed to smile.
"Don't laugh like that. We have known each other for so many years, and I have a few pounds and a few taels, and you know it. I'm not like I'm a loser who only cares about pleasure, as the outside world says. Besides, as far as this little bit of in the court, my father is still involved non-stop, do you think I don't know? When Chai Wen, who was at the gate of the palace, came back in the morning and told me that my father had a new task, the reception banquet was postponed first, and I asked Chai Wen at that time. ”
"How could Chai Wen know? I remember that although he was your father's bodyguard, he led your father's horse in the early dynasty, and he did not go to the court. The messenger will not say anything, at most it will say that your father is on a mission again, and he can't go home for the time being. Jiang Chengzi was very puzzled.
"That's what the old men from the next dynasty said. Chai Wen said that Xiao Yu fainted at the gate of the palace. Chai Lingwu shrugged.
"I see. Jiang Chengzi suddenly realized.
"The old man fainted? Li Ke chuckled.
Chai Lingwu looked at Li Ke carefully, and asked tentatively: "Gao Shilian's twist and turn, there should be a lot of people who sue him, right?"
"State secrets, no comment. Li Ke looked at him with a smile.
Chai Lingwu pursed his lips with disdain and said, "Are you hiding with me?" Although I am ridiculous, I can still see this little situation. Gao Shi is honest and honest and is active in the common people, and he never asks about the affairs of the court. He is a kind of person, if he doesn't do it, he will be amazing. ”
"As if you know him well. Li Ke lazily lay on the soft couch with his hands on his back, but his eyes were looking at Jiang Chengzi.
Jiang Chengzi just made eye contact with him, and instantly moved away. A heart is like a heavy snow flying in the sky, and it is chaotic. She tried to calm herself and try to listen.
"Even if Gao Shilian is not such a person. However, if there were only a few officers involved in the complaint this time, would His Majesty not summon Xiao Yu, as the prime minister, to go to the Ganlu Palace? As for Xiao Yu fainting? From all kinds of indications, there were quite a few officers involved this time, and the damage to the Xiao family was particularly great. Chai Lingwu finished his analysis proudly.
Jiang Chengzi applauded and said, "I completely agree with Brother Yi's analysis. ”
"See, Li Laosan, my sister agrees. What a smart person my sister is. Chai Lingwu laughed.
Li Ke turned over, looked at Chai Lingwu and said, "You continue to analyze, I'll see, what else can you analyze." ”
"Haha, I can still analyze that the Xiao family is going to be unlucky. I also analyzed that this time you will not interfere, and Your Majesty will not let you interfere. Chai Ling Wu was proud, paused, and then lowered his voice and said, "This governing the army and governing people is the same as doing business, focusing on figuring out people's hearts and looking at the overall situation. Jiannan Dao and the mountain are almost all controlled by the Xiao clan's forces. Back then, although the Xiao family returned to the Tang Dynasty, it also planted a lot of hidden piles by the way. Our Majesty is exhausted from dealing with thieves and foreigners, and has no energy to rectify internally for the time being. Shuzhong is a rich land, and if Jiannan Road and Mountain do not completely belong to Your Majesty, then they must be two sharp swords hanging over the head of Datang. Now, with such an opportunity, His Majesty will naturally uproot the root of the Xiao clan, and this time, whoever solves the Jiannan Dao and Shangan will be able to control these two armies, and then control the entire Shu land. Hehe, you are a prince who is a concubine, unless, Your Majesty does not want to see you, will let you be contaminated. ”
"You're good, kid. Li Ke admired.
Compared with his previous life, Chai Lingwu, this kid has not changed except for that ruffian, he has really changed completely.
"Well, if my brother has a heart, it is okay to be a prime minister or a general in the future. Brother is just lazy, too lazy to watch those flies and dogs. Brother only likes silver with white flowers. Let my eldest brother go to what is glorifying the ancestors. I am only willing to do things seriously, make money, have fun, and live a happy life. Chai Lingwu shrugged.
"Look at people like you, born as a child of a family, you don't take some responsibility, tsk. Li Ke pouted.
"If the court really needs me, I will definitely help. It's just that there are so many capable people now, so there is no need for a master like me to make a move. Chai Lingwu smiled brightly and was extremely proud.
Jiang Chengzi likes this kind of Chai Lingwu, he has no shape, he doesn't have the heart of a fly camp dog, he is very good to his friends, and he can see the situation clearly and know what he wants.
"You're really handy. Li Ke didn't bury him, which is really a heartfelt compliment.
"Of course. I also know that Gao Shilian has your handwriting. Chai Lingwu lowered his voice with a smug smile on his face.
Although Jiang Chengzi and Li Ke's faces did not change, and their movements were as usual, their hearts were shocked in their hearts. The two couldn't help but glance at each other, and when they saw surprise in each other's eyes, they confirmed that it was not what the other party said to Chai Lingwu.
Chai Lingwu didn't see the expected expression, he was already disinterested, shrugged, and said, "Neither of you is surprised, it's really boring." ”
"How can you conclude that it is my handwriting?" asked Li Ke.
When he was reborn, he was far away from the gang of gentlemen. But there was still a time when Baimi was in danger, and the person who saved him happened to be Chai Lingwu. Therefore, the two are acquainted. He found that Chai Lingwu was very different from before, extremely smart, figured out people's hearts, saw the relationships around him clearly, and what was even more rare was that he had a heart that loved the people.
That's why he tried to get along with him. Compared with his previous life, except that his reputation is as bad as ever, from the inside out, it is completely different.
But just how smart is he? Li Ke never tried to try. Now, taking this opportunity, he wanted to see how deep Chai Lingwu's water was and whether he could afford to entrust it.
"Didn't you receive the letter I wrote to you?" Chai Lingwu asked in surprise.
"What letter?" Li Ke was also puzzled.
"A few days ago, you sent an envoy to the Turks. I'm afraid that these cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the capital are about to make trouble here, so people will stare around. At that time, I found that Xiao Lan'er, the concubine of the Xiao family, had been in and out of your Shu Mansion several times. To the outside world, it means that Concubine Xiao is unwell, misses her relatives, and misses the King of Shu. So, let Xiao Lan'er accompany her. Chai Lingwu said this, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
Jiang Chengzi took the opportunity to interject: "This is an extremely ordinary thing, what did the righteous brother find?"
"It was originally a very ordinary thing, but Concubine Xiao has always lived in the Shu Palace, so I asked people to investigate. As a result, hehe, Li Laosan, grass has grown on your head. Chai Lingwu laughed.
Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Chai Lingwu meant that Concubine Xiao used Xiao Lan'er's cover to meet men privately.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and looked at Li Ke.
Li Ke's face suddenly turned cold, and said, "I didn't expect her to dare to do this." ”
"You already knew?" Chai Lingwu was also surprised.
Li Ke nodded reluctantly, Chai Lingwu immediately took a step forward and asked, "Did you sleep with someone else?"
When Li Ke heard this, he hurriedly slapped Chai Lingwu and said, "Just your nonsense, when have I slept with her?"
"No, you haven't slept with her, how dare she be so rampant?" Chai Lingwu felt that something was wrong, and was thinking about it.
Li Ke said coldly: "One night before I went to the Turks, this Concubine Xiao put an aphrodisiac in my ginseng soup. ”
"Then you drank it?" Chai Lingwu hurriedly asked.
"I didn't drink it, I gave it to her. Li Ke said.
"Then you slept with her?" Chai Lingwu asked again.
"Nope. Li Ke glanced at Chai Lingwu viciously.
Chai Lingwu smiled and said, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." So in other words, you found someone to sleep with her?"
"I didn't do that. She fell asleep in my study, and I left. Li Ke said.
"Tell me?" Chai Lingwu asked, "That Concubine Xiao is very beautiful." ”
"I'll go to your uncle, Chai Er. Li Ke was completely furious.
Jiang Chengzi listened to the conversation between the two on the side, didn't say anything, and thought secretly: "If you marry in the future, you have to set up good rules, otherwise there will be demon moths jumping out at any time, and they will come to rob the old lady's husband." ”
Li Ke thought she was angry, and hurriedly said, "Ah Zi, I didn't do anything, you believe me." ”
"I believe in you. Jiang Chengzi nodded solemnly.
"Do you really believe it?" Li Ke was not sure.
"Letter. Jiang Chengzi nodded firmly.
Li Ke felt relieved with a stone in his heart. Chai Lingwu pondered on the side, and then suddenly realized, "This makes sense, it doesn't matter who you haven't slept with her." But she spent the night in your study, and people thought you slept with her. Hehe, if you die in the Turks, then, it is logical for her to conceive, and your posthumous son can naturally make waves and become the puppet of the Xiao family. You don't have much of a role to play anymore. ”
"They did make the calculation, and they were going to kill Azhi. Li Ke's appreciation of Chai Lingwu has reached a new level.
"The people of the Xiao family are really getting more and more unproductive, and their means are becoming more and more inferior, and they dare to attack my prospective brother-in-law, which is completely ignorant of my Chai family. Chai Lingwu sneered, "They deserve to be theirs this time, it seems that my Chai family should also give them a generous gift." Otherwise, my young owner of the Chai family would not be in vain. ”
"Yes, your Chai family has been in business for a long time, and there are shops everywhere, and there are a lot of gifts. However, you have to take care of the Chai family, take care of your father. Li Ke said.
"I've got my own measure. Chai Lingwu's face sank ugly.
"Brother Yi, you don't have to worry, let's take a look for the time being. Jiang Chengzi saw that Chai Lingwu's face sank ugly, and he knew that he was really angry.
"Sister, I'm not in a hurry, I just can't allow others to bully us. Even if you are my sister-in-law, you are also a member of the Chai family. Chai Lingwu said.
"I said, what did you write about that letter? Don't you plan to track it down?" Li Ke continued to talk about the letter after inspecting Chai Lingwu.
"That letter is my speculation, but at first I thought you slept with Xiao, so I speculated that Xiaoshi wanted you to not come back, and she was pregnant with your posthumous son. Nowadays, although the reality is slightly different, the purpose is the same. As for how the letter was lost, I will definitely find out. Chai Lingwu seemed to have changed.
He is not at all the usual appearance of a hanger, but like a president who handles things efficiently, with the temperament of a noble son and a rather handsome face. Tsk, it's super charming.
When Li Ke saw Jiang Chengzi's appearance, he was displeased and coughed twice. Jiang Chengzi hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter, but you're not feeling well? Let Mr. Wang take a look at it for you?"
"No, it's just a little tired. He was very satisfied when he saw that she cared so much about himself, but he was thinking in his heart: the righteous brother is also a dangerous thing, and he has to quickly find a house with his father-in-law.
"It's evening, so let's have dinner here. Chai Lingwu suggested.
Li Ke hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, when I came from the Yang Mansion, I heard that there were guests in the Yang Mansion, and Ah Zi should also go back to take a look. ”
"Someone came to my house?" Jiang Chengzi immediately became nervous as soon as he heard that someone was coming to the house.
Yang Wang's family is older, this child is pregnant hard, and Ping Suli is not in good spirits, and the family affairs are definitely not bothered. Yang Shuyue was on the outskirts of the city watching the construction of the Gewu Academy, and now that the project has entered a critical period, he went out early in the morning and said that he would not come back and would live there. Yang Qingrang and Yang Ruyu are left in the house, but if they meet the old treacherous and cunning, they may be on the road.
"Then I'm not going to eat, I'll go back and see. Jiang Chengzi said and quickly got up.
"Even so, I will not leave you to eat. Chai Lingwu didn't keep it.
He knew that this righteous sister was very measured, and she must be worried about her family.
Jiang Chengzi was anxious in his heart, stood up and ran to the screen, and while putting on his shoes, he remembered the Wang Ying mentioned earlier, this Wang Ying is likely to be his mother who crossed over, and his father must be very shocked, and he also wants to see and confirm this matter.
So, she said: "That brother, the matter over there in Ruyifang, please help me pull the strings, I want to meet that Wang Ying, and I want her to help me personally design the jewelry for marriage." ”
"Wrap it up on my brother-in-law. Chai Lingwu patted his chest.
"If Mr. Sinan has anything, he will bother my brother to send someone to inform me. Jiang Chengzi told again.
"Okay. Chai Lingwu also agreed, although he didn't understand why his sister cared so much about Mr. Dugu, but he wanted a sister since he was a child, and now he has such a first-class sister in the world, which naturally hurts to the bones.
