"Do you want to go into the palace?" The county lord asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hmm." Li Tianqi nodded and said, "I have three friends who seem to have been secretly brought into the palace, but I don't know where they were taken. ”

The county lord asked, "How did you know?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "I heard that there is a person named Yunxiang Baolin who has a close connection with the palace, so he ......"

The county lord was slightly stunned, "Yunxiang Baolin? ”.

Li Tianqi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The county lord said: "I don't know business, but I still have heard of it, this Yunxiang Baolin is now in full swing, but he is extremely low-key, which is completely different from the Fulin firm that was rich in the world before. ”

Li Tianqi said: "It is said that Yunxiang Baolin has fully taken over Fulin Commercial Bank. ”

The county lord said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? I've only heard that there are some properties of Fulin Commercial Bank that they have indeed taken over. ”

Li Tianqi remembered Lin Yixian, so he asked, "Sister County Lord, what happened to Fulin Commercial Bank?" How did it seem like he fell from the altar overnight? ”

The county lord said: "This ...... I don't know. Why did you ask about Fulin Firm again? Do you have dealings with them? ”

Li Tianqi said: "Do you remember the son who waited for me in the Jingyou Mountain Villa in Guyang County? ”

The county lord thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Remember, that handsome boy should actually be a woman disguised as a man." I was still trying to laugh at her, but sure enough, she was fooled and completely changed her attitude. ”

Li Tianqi sighed and said, "She is Lin Yixian of Fulin Commercial Bank. ”

The county lord asked in surprise, "Lin Yixian of Fulin Commercial Bank?" I've heard of her, but I didn't expect her to be Lin Yat-sen. ”

"You've heard of her too?"

"Yes, when Fulin Firm was rich and wealthy, he had a close relationship with my father, and Lin Yunqing was the owner of Fulin Firm, and the eldest son was called ......."

"Lin Yifan."

"Oh? Looks like you know the eldest prince too. ”

"I've only met a few times by chance."

"That's right, the eldest son's name is Lin Yifan, and Lin Yixian has always shown himself as a little son, and he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, but he is not similar to his father and son."

Li Tianqi asked: "Since the Lin family has a close relationship with your father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why was someone suddenly robbed of their jobs?" ”

The county lord shook his head and said, "These may involve the imperial court. I really don't know about the complicated and chaotic things in the court, even my father is conscientious and thrifty, for fear of annoying the emperor. I think the decline of the Fulin firm may have something to do with the imperial court. ”

She paused and asked, "How is Lin Yixian?" ”

Li Tianqi sighed: "I haven't seen her for many years. I don't know what happened to her. He seemed to think of something and asked, "Sister County Lord, doesn't the Lin family live in Chang'an?" ”

The county lord said: "Since the decline of the gate, they have quietly moved, and even the huge mansion has been deserted. So I don't know where they went. I also asked my father about it, but he just sighed, obviously he didn't want to say anything, but judging by their relationship in the past, something must have happened. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Tianqi sighed infinitely, he didn't expect this to be the case, and he didn't know if Lin Yixian, who was used to squandering, could he still get used to living without a lot of money at this time?

The county lord said, "It's far away, who are those friends of yours?" How did you get to the palace? ”

Li Tianqi told her the details of the matter, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not reveal to the county lord that Xu Shaoyu had infiltrated the palace.

"The woman of the White Sect? Did they do something? The county lord glanced at Li Tianqi and asked with a smile: "Could there be a girl you like among the younger brother of Tianqi?" ”

Li Tianqi's face turned red, and he said again and again: "No, how can it be? In fact, I have dealt with them a few times, and if they are close friends, I can't say it, but I just think that they are really strange to disappear. And one of my buddies had a crush on one of the girls, and it would be nice to be able to help them out of trouble. ”

"Hmm. That's what happened. The county lord thought for a while and said: "However, someone burned down Dali Temple last night, which has alarmed the entire Chang'an, and now the martial law in the imperial city is becoming more stringent. I belong to a foreign official, and if I want to enter the imperial city, I must be summoned by the emperor, or the consent of a powerful person. This...... It's a bit of a trick. ”

Li Tianqi said: "Please also ask the county lord's sister to think of a way...... he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Is it okay for His Royal Highness the Prince?" Go and meet him, and I will pretend to be your slave. ”

The county lord said: "It's not impossible, but these things also have to be reported to the emperor." Only with the emperor's permission can we enter. But even if you enter, you can't move around at will, you must know that the palace is no more than an ordinary house, and people with different identities and responsibilities are not allowed to cross posts and run around. If you're not careful, your head is about to move. ”

"Then if they were really in the palace, where would they be placed?"

"If it is really a criminal punished by the emperor, it will definitely be locked up in Luoyang, but Luoyang is hundreds of miles away from here. It doesn't match what you said. If they were to be arrested and locked up in the palace, I really can't say where they would be unless there was a secret place in the palace. Brother Apocalypse, are you sure they must be in the palace? ”

Li Tianqi shook his head and said, "I'm not sure." I just want to see it, but now that I hear the county lord's sister say this, I think this palace must be very large, and it must be intricate, but it is difficult to find. ”

"Of course. Besides, they all know kung fu, if they really want to enter the palace, it must be the emperor's will, otherwise, who would dare to bring a suspect who knows martial arts into the palace? ”

Li Tianqi said: "There is another situation that is also possible. ”

"What's the situation?"

Li Tianqi said: "That is a deliberate arrangement by someone. Concealed it from the emperor. ”

The county lord said: "Well, what you said is not unreasonable. But who would have the audacity to make such an arrangement? What was his intention? ”

Li Tianqi smiled bitterly: "This can only be known to God." ”

Although he had also met the emperor Li Shimin, and Li Shimin also promised him three wishes, but now that his appearance has changed greatly, how can he easily see the emperor in this situation? And what if the emperor didn't know about it, or if Meng Geyuan and the other three were indeed not in the palace?

That's why he was going to investigate it secretly.

The county lord saw him bow his head and was silent, and said, "Brother Tianqi must still want to go inside to find out, right?" Then I will go to my father and take you in. ”

Li Tianqi came back to his senses, waved his hand again and again, and said, "No need." Presumably Donggong ......, "Hey, suddenly he thought of something, the Su Ganwei he had met in Yizhou was related to someone mentioned by the criminal official in Yizhou, and he thought about it now, isn't there a person named Su Gan Chengji next to the prince?" What does he really look like? Since you are here, it is better to take the opportunity to investigate, so as to see who this Chengji is.

The maid knocked on the door and reported that General Yang Wen was waiting outside the gate.

Yang Wen is here! Li Tianqi was overjoyed.

The county lord said, "Let him in." ”

After a while, a hearty voice sounded outside the door, "County Lord!" See you at the end of the general, Yang Wen, outside! ”

"Enter."

"Yes." Yang Wen replied outside.

The slave pushed the door open, and the young general Yang Wen walked in dressed in military uniform, hugged his fists at the county lord and said: "County lord, the last general Yang Wen came to pick up the county lord to the East Palace for a gathering on the order of the prince." ”

His eyes fell on Li Tianqi's body, with a suspicious look, this is very understandable, with such a noble status as the county lord, why is he talking here alone with this short man who is not good-looking, no, extremely ugly? This is incomprehensible to him. However, since the county lord did this, he didn't know what to say, just stared at Li Tianqi with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through this person's heart.

The county lord glanced at Li Tianqi, and Li Tianqi gave her a look and asked her not to tell him about it, so as not to bring other negative effects, after all, he is like this now, and it takes a lot of words to explain.

The county lord understood and asked Yang Wen, "What is the matter with my father summoning me?" ”

Yang Wendao: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say it explicitly, but just asked the last general to come over and invite the county lord." ”

"Is that Gan Chengji here?"

"Yes."

"I knew there was him. Okay, I got it. The county lord said, "Wait outside the front of the house, and I will come out in a moment." ”

"Yes." Yang Wen glanced at Li Tianqi, retracted the footsteps that he wanted to move away, and said, "County Lord, the last general is still waiting here......

The lord of the county knew his loyalty, so he said, "Well, he is not an outsider, but a servant I have recruited." Go out. ”

Is this the kind of treatment that makes the slaves so treated? Yang Wen hesitated a little, but still hugged his fists and said, "Obey." ”

After Yang Wen left, the county lord asked Li Tianqi, "Why don't you tell him your identity?" ”

Li Tianqi shook his head and said: "I'm like this, let's not say it, besides, he is a public servant on duty, if he knows, it is not so convenient." ”

The county lord smiled: "I'm a dignified county lord, but you came to me?" ”

Li Tianqi smiled: "That's not because the county lord's sister is good to me." ”

The county lord stretched out his finger and pushed it on his forehead, "You." Do you want to go to the East Palace? ”

"Go." Li Tianqi replied very simply, "Listening to your tone, what does Su Gan Chengji do?" ”

"Well, he's just a whisker who gives my father bad ideas." The county lord said angrily, "But my father trusts him very much, so he should be regarded as a confidant." If you want to go in, talk as little as you can, and don't walk around, just follow me. ”

"Okay. There are many rules in the palace, I know this. ”

The county lord was ready to stop and walked out of the county lord's mansion with Li Tianqi.

Although Yang Wen was suspicious, he still escorted them to the palace with the sergeant.
