Chapter 437: The Man Who Killed with a Stick

She's not the kind of person who uses her contract spirit to kill people or save people to make money. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, it was originally her idea to save Li Shangying, and there was nothing to lose by taking the opportunity to make some money, Meng Shichen raised her eyebrows.

"Master Zhang, this girl still has a question. As soon as you answer, I will immediately tell you whether to accept or not to accept this commission. Don't worry, this girl won't open her mouth, as long as you don't lose the weight of the task, it's easy to talk about money. ”

Zhang Jinchao immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Sir, excuse me." ”

"Why did you save him? Don't say it's because he's the son of Lord Li Dao. I have a good relationship with Li Shangying, and my contract spirit also holds the news of his identity, Lord Zhang, you know. This girl is to listen to the truth. It's a serious question of whether or not you're setting a trap for this girl. ”

Meng Shichen lifted her breath and jumped to Zhang Jinchao's side, she faced the courtyard gate, and Zhang Jinchao faced the bamboo house. When you can't see each other's faces, there are things to say.

However, Zhang Jinchao was silent. She said that she knew the identity of Li Shangying...... It's true?

"Mr. Meng, you just need to accept the commission and get the money. The official will not tell you anything else. And that's beyond the scope of the commission, right? Zhang Jinchao thought about it again and again, but still decided not to answer her question.

Thinking that his words were too decisive, Zhang Jinchao changed his words again: "Mr. Meng, this official will have a foothold in the DPRK and China in the future." If you talk too much, you may not see the sun tomorrow. ”

Meng Shichen understood, it turned out that he didn't believe her.

"Lord Zhang doesn't believe me, do you want me to guess?" Meng Shichen actually doesn't have much patience, she held Zhang Jinchao hostage during the day, and now standing by his side, she is sure that she is herself.

But just in case, you still have to grasp the handle in your hands, and you will not hurt yourself by leaving a way out of everything.

"Lord Zhang, today I heard from the Wei Hall Master that you used to be the minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty. And you yourself said in front of everyone that you were the gentleman of several princes of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so you won't mistake Li Shangying. But I can be sure of his identity, is Lord Zhang doing this to protect the orphans of the old dynasty? If the emperor knows about ......"

"It's not like that! This official has no intention of protecting! Zhang Jinchao immediately retorted, and his voice raised a lot because he was in a hurry.

But because of the current situation, he still deliberately did not let his voice be too obvious. "Mr. Meng, although this official doesn't know what kind of news you have, as a court official, this official is naturally thinking about the emperor."

"Then why didn't you tell this girl the reason for saving Li Shangying? I have a lot of relationship with Chen Daochang, and many people must have known about this in recent days, right? If I say a sentence or two in front of the emperor, do you think you will still have a way to live? Meng Shichen spoke indifferently, completely ignoring Zhang Jinchao's feelings.

can be scared as much as he can, this Zhang Jinchao can change from a minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty to a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is rising step by step, and he doesn't know how high the means are.

People have stumbled, horses have stumbled, careless lost Jingzhou, sloppy lost street pavilions. She always kept these eighteen-character proverbs in mind, and only now has she mixed in the rivers and lakes, and now she must be even more cautious about Zhang Jinchao, an old fox who can easily navigate the two dynasties.

Zhang Jinchao fell into silence for a short time, but to Meng Shichen's surprise, he compromised: "Mr. Meng, please make a promise not to say it." You can't reveal half a word of what the official says next. ”

"Lord Zhang just said, I will come forward to save an old guy like Guo Yi who once sent someone to assassinate this girl, Lord Zhang and I have no grievances, and I will naturally not be idle and look for trouble. Ask this question, but it's the same as adults, to ask for peace of mind. After all, doing this kind of thing is also dangerous. It would be great if adults and I could understand each other. ”

Meng Shichen deliberately concealed the key that she saved the Guo family because Yue Yi still had money, and this time in Guigutang, she was also ready to pick up Guo Yi's old immortal.

Zhang Jinchao got her assurance and finally settled down to talk about things. However, there was still some apprehension in his heart: "More than ten years ago, this official was still a courtier of the Southern Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was also very popular with the emperor at that time, not only the important ministers of the court, but also the gentlemen of several princes. ”

"But that's just the surface of the glamour, the Great Song soldiers pressed the border, forming a general trend of three-way encirclement. The trade routes were all cut off, the imperial court declined, and the people were miserable. At that time, the official was ordered to be killed by the emperor because his words were too intense......"

His voice was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business. But Meng Shichen stood beside him, and he could still vaguely hear his uneven breathing.

This must be a terrible past, stick killing, isn't it just beating to death with a stick? It's tragic. Meng Shichen was still curious about what he said to the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress Li at that time, which would cause this disaster, so he heard Zhang Jinchao continue: "It was the Nine Emperor Princes who saved this official. ”

He was only six years old at the time, but he had the wisdom of a prodigy like Cao Chong to save the official's life from under the stick. Although I was later demoted to a commoner and kicked out of the country, my life was finally saved. Now, it's time for the official to repay this kindness. Zhang Jinchao exhaled a long breath.

He suddenly took two steps forward, then turned around and saluted Meng Shichen: "The matter of saving the Nine Emperor Princes is entrusted to Mr." ”

"Okay, I promise you. Five hundred taels of silver. But ......" Meng Shichen frowned and pondered, and said: "What did Yue Yi say about his desire to return to the country?" What did he find out? ”

Although she thought that sentence was very likely to be a fraud, she wanted to see if Meng Shichen knew Li Shangying's true identity. But Wei Qingzhi was also present at that time, and Yue Yi was also very serious, so he definitely wanted Wei Qingzhi to take action to deal with Li Shangying.

"That's all Lord Yue's own speculation, but I'm sure he should have found some clues. After all, after the surrender of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the fate of the princes was not as tragic as that of some fallen princes in history, and the emperor even gave them the opportunity to be officials. But this does not mean that the emperor really believes in them. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Shichen understood. It is Zhao Kuangyin who is secretly wary of those small countries that were destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, and then tries his best to grasp everyone's news.

And here in Li Shangying, Yue Yi has found out something. But that doesn't make sense! Looking at Yue Yi's appearance, it doesn't look like he knows that Li Shangying is Li Congqian, the ninth son of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

She expressed her doubts, but she didn't expect Zhang Jinchao to answer immediately: "It's because I don't know that I'm suspicious." Perhaps, it was the people secretly sent by the emperor to keep an eye on the princes who discovered something. ”
