Li Chu saw that Sheng Zhi was ordered by Li Jingyao to summon the seventeen county lords, and he hesitated slightly, if he continued to stay, he was afraid that Li Jingyao would definitely pull himself to persuade the seventeen county lords at that time, which would be too embarrassing.

After retiring, Li Chu slowly withdrew from the imperial study, but he still met the seventeen county lords at noon gates, but fortunately, the seventeen county lords didn't know about the relationship, so they greeted Li Chu with a smile.

What's even more rare is that she actually grabbed Li Chu and apologized: "I used to be too willful and brought you some trouble, but now I am relieved, I hope you don't take it to heart." If we can, I hope we won't be so stiff next time. ”

Li Chu responded a few words unnaturally, and walked away quickly, indeed, since the seventeen county lords knew that they had Feng Jiu, they rarely interacted with him again. In fact, she didn't owe herself anything, but she made her wait in vain for five years, and now she apologizes in turn, which makes Li Chu feel a little uncomfortable.

Are you really that ruthless?

"The defense of the city gate has been loosened a lot in the past few days, and I think I can find an opportunity to send Wen Lu out." Li Chu said as he got into the carriage.

Liu Wenlu's existence was dispensable to Jin Yuan, but as soon as he thought of the power of this troublemaker, Jin Yuan hesitated: "Do you want to observe him for two more days?" I'm afraid that when he leaves the Rite Mansion, the whole person will be out of control. ”

"It's fine." Liu Wenlu paused and asked, "Is there anything unusual in the mansion?" ”

Jin Yuan shook his head, and said with a slightly relaxed expression: "Thinking that we are so strict in everything, he really has no place to start, I guess he is in a hurry now." ”

Liu Wenlu's eyes flashed, smiled faintly, looked at Jin Yuan and said: "You reminded me, we are too tightly defensive, so he doesn't dare to make a move, and he has tried every means to reveal some news in the past few days." ”

"Yes, true and false news are mixed, I'll see how he can tell the difference!" Jin Yuan said with a low chuckle, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Just now I saw Wang Fu outside, passing by in a carriage with his father, and I don't know what to do." ”

"Could it be that you are planning to leave the Western Capital?"

Li Chu pondered for a while, and vetoed: "No, I believe that Wang Fuyan is not such a cowardly person, he must have his own principles, otherwise he would not have been stained with the idea of being a good official for a lifetime." It's just that when we use him in the future, we must be more careful, and we must not reveal any measures to betray Nantang. ”

"Can we start?" Jin Yuan asked.

"In a few days, there must be an opportunity to win people's hearts, and when the opportunity comes, then even if I don't win them over, they will come to me themselves." Li Chu closed his eyes slightly, and his expression looked very tired, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second.

Jin Yuan couldn't bear to open his mouth to wake him up when he saw him like this, who expected that Li Chu himself suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, and said: "After making peace, the four princes must also expand their power for themselves, you must remember that the people of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple should not move." ”

"Give it to the fourth prince for nothing? What is the rationale for this? Could it be that Gongzi is afraid that the formation of a party and private affairs will be too obvious and will be seen by Li Jingyao? Jin Yuan looked at Li Chu incomprehensibly.

Li Chu nodded, lowered his voice and said, "No matter how I fight with the fourth prince, these people will become the emperor's people in the end, so why should I waste my heart and soul to fight with the emperor?" What matters is those who seem to be weak and do not occupy a place, but they may rise to prominence in the future. ”

Jin Yuan slightly understood but didn't particularly understand, Li Chu said again: "Their talents are all first-class, but they are pressed by the people above and can't show it, and sometimes they are even smeared as incompetent, they must be very resentful in their hearts, they haven't met a good Bole, and I am a good Bole who is about to appear, no matter how much they can get from me, their gratitude to me is always real." ”

As soon as Li Chu said this, Jin Yuan completely understood.

The noise of the market came from outside, Jin Yuan lifted the curtain in surprise, saw that the carriage was indeed in the market, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" How can the coachman end ...... for no reason?"

"I said I was coming to the market, I want to buy a jade bracelet for Feng Jiu, can you accompany me to have a look?" Li Chu got up as he spoke, and lifted the curtain and went down.

Li Chu's gaze wandered over the bracelet, while Jin Yuan looked incredulously at a white horse carved from white jade, which was ...... It was carved and given to Le Xi by himself......

"Jin Yuan, come and take a look, if you ......"

Li Chu suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by his side, and then Jin Yuan excitedly took the white horse and asked sharply: "Where did you steal this white horse!" ”

The shopkeeper saw that he was menacing, and although he knew that he was not easy to provoke, he couldn't get used to hearing him: "What does this mean by guest officer?" The things in our store are all made by our own masters, what do you steal or not? ”

"Nonsense! This is obviously carved by me and given to a girl, how can it be in your store! Jin Yuan saw the shopkeeper's denial and looked very angry.

"The guest officer is talking about a little girl, her eyes are big, she doesn't like to smile, she has been selling this thing to us for almost a month, if the guest officer doesn't believe it, you can go back and ask your friend." The shopkeeper's words are quite polite, it can be seen that there are many strange guests he has met over the years, which has honed his good temper.

Jin Yuan shook his head again and again, and said with a sad gaze: "Impossible! It's impossible! ”

Seeing that he was emotional, Li Chu patted him on the shoulder to signal him to calm down, pointed to the white jade pony and asked, "Since it was sold by Le Xi to the shopkeeper, then we can buy it back." ”

"Three hundred taels."

"What?! Three hundred taels! Jin Yuan's eyes widened, and he asked angrily, "You're also dark, aren't you?" I dug this white jade from the snowy mountain myself, and you actually blackmailed me in turn! ”

"This guest officer, I bought it from that girl, and this white jade is worth this price, why can't it be sold for three hundred taels?" When it comes to money, the shopkeeper reveals his original face.

Jin Yuan wanted to argue with him again, but Li Chu had already stopped in front of him, put a small bag of silver in front of the shopkeeper, took a pen and wrote an IOU, handed it to him and said, "Look at the shopkeeper, is there a mistake?" ”

"What do you mean by that? We don't remember an IOU here, and no one knows you, so what if you run away? The shopkeeper didn't lift his eyelids.

The guy on the side glanced sharply at the payment on the note, and said excitedly: "You are Lichu!" ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at the note when he heard the words, although he had heard of Lichu's name, but he was worried that the person in front of him was a fake, Lichu said helplessly: "Then please ask this guy to follow us to Lifu in person, do you think the shopkeeper is good?" ”

"Ah San, you take a few people with you, you must be careful on the way back!" The shopkeeper reluctantly compromised.
