Chapter 393: You're a puppet
Chapter 393
The wind blew the letter that Mo Sigui had placed on the couch to the ground.
An Jiu went over to pick it up, and by the way, it was a secret letter from Wei Yuzhi's subordinates, writing about the secret medicine cultivation master of the Liao State, which was also mixed with the news of Lou Mingyue.
"There is residual poison in the body, prescribe a few pills to eat first." Mo Sigui waved his pen and wrote down a prescription, "It's a little interesting to have internal injuries in the internal organs, and it will be treated after detoxification." β
Seeing all the problems on his body in one language, the blood demon was even more convinced, "Thank you Divine Doctor." β
Mo Sigui glanced at An Jiu, "Thank her." β
"Didn't you say that you broke off with Lou Mingyue?" Anjiu handed the letter over.
Mo Sigui didn't answer, and stuffed another ball of medicine into his pipe, until he took two puffs after igniting it, and then said, "Who is Lou Mingyue?" β
An Jiu shook the letter paper in his hand.
"The news sent by Yuzhi, I took a look at it when I was bored, Ning Yan has improved from the medicine that stimulates internal force, it seems that I have to buy an antidote!" Mo Sigui smiled, and his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, as if a faint peach color was blurred between the clouds and mist.
An Jiu is not a nosy person, he just thinks that he and Lou Mingyue are still messy, and they will not end well, but seeing that he doesn't seem to take it to heart, he doesn't ask anymore, "Can't you also prepare medicine that induces power?" β
She felt that this one was more useful.
Mo Sigui smiled, "Ha! Do what others have done, how can this reflect Lao Tzu's level? β
An Jiu said, "So you can match it?" β
"Don't think about it." Mo Sigui slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, which merged into a Lingzhi appearance in the air, "The kind of tiger and wolf medicine that stimulates potential, its backlash is bound to be fatal, and after the medicine is dissipated, it will either die or be disabled, who are you going to let take it?" β
"When will the antidote come out? After autumn, we may have to fight the Liao army. An Jiu asked.
Mo Sigui saw that she was serious, and couldn't help but smile, "Yan sΓΉ is easy to age." Just look at Chu Dingjiang! Ha ha! β
"Do you know Lord Chu?" The bloody couldn't help but interject.
"I don't know Tarzan if I have eyes." Mo Sigui glanced at An Jiu, "This! It's Lord Chu's concubine. β
"Concubine ......" couldn't help but look at An Jiu, in all fairness, she was really an out-and-out beauty.
"Concubine." An Jiu silently recited "world peace" in his heart, suppressed his anger, and said slowly, "There is nothing wrong with it, there are people rolling all over the ground to be concubines, and people avoid them like flies and dung." β
"Lao Tzu is such a heroic person, who doesn't want to be blind!" Mo Sigui snorted.
There was a few knocks on the door.
Immediately after that, he listened to Sui Yunzhu and said, "Master Wu said. Since coming to Hexi County, I have been busy with official business, and I would like to invite you to a meal today. β
Mo Sigui has always been very picky about eating, and after coming here, he ate a little half a month of coarse tea and light rice, and he was feeling aggrieved, and he hurriedly stayed and put on his shoes, "When will you eat?" β
"The meal is ready, just waiting for you." Sui Yunzhu Road.
An Jiu didn't care about fighting with him, and went out first.
Sui Yunzhu probed his head and saw Wei Yuzhi who was cross-legged and recuperating. "Mr. Wei, my lord said that if you have time, please also appreciate your face."
Wei Yuzhi didn't move, only hummed lightly.
The banquet was placed in the flower hall, and Wu Lingyuan sat on the top in a Li color regular dress. When he saw everyone coming in one after another, he got up to greet him, but no one paid attention to him, and they all stared at the dishes on the table.
Mo Sigui pinched the cigarette stick and looked around, and commented. "Okay."
There are no good things in Hexi County, but fortunately, it is the time of spring and summer, and there are many good things in the mountains. Wu Lingyuan asked Li Qingzhi to go and get some game, and finally bought a table of decent dishes.
"Xiao Sui, go to my house and bring good wine!" Mo Si returned, "It's next to the bookshelf on the south wall." β
Sui Yunzhu worked hard, but An Jiu was not happy, "Don't go, let him go by himself!" β
"An Dajiu, Lao Tzu made you a cow and a horse, and you treated me like this?" Mo Sigui sighed quietly, "People's hearts are not ancient. β
While he was talking, Wei Yuzhi came in, carrying a wine jar in one hand.
"Oops! How can you be empathetic like this! Mo Sigui got busy and took the wine jar.
Wei Yuzhi's sudden appearance made the blood demon suddenly feel that this place was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, when he was approaching, he didn't even notice it at all!
"I knew you forgot to bring it, so I brought it by the way." Wei Yu's way.
Mo Sigui has recently quit drug smoking, so he made his own wine, and drank some wine to help him sleep when he had insomnia at night, and it did have a little effect in the first two days, but now he is both addicted to alcohol and can't do without drug smoke. Wei Yuzhi persuaded him, but he said: If you want to fall, you will fall into the dust, otherwise it is not my Mo Sigui's consistent pursuit of the ultimate style.
After everyone was seated, Wu Lingyuan picked up his glass and said, "Don't thank you for your great kindness, let Yuan do it first." β
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
Mo Sigui tasted the dishes all the way, and then picked up the appetizing ones and ate them, and didn't touch anything else.
After eating a meal like a storm, Wu Lingyuan put down his rice bowl, rinsed his mouth, and sat down, "I think everyone knows the situation in Hexi County, there is a lot to be done, but now it is too poor, if we only rely on farming, we can't even arrange the city defense, so I thought of a way, but I still need your help." β
As he spoke, he got up and bowed to the crowd.
Sui Yunzhu hurriedly helped, "We are here for this, if you have any orders, you should go all out." β
Wu Lingyuan smiled gratefully and looked around, "Compared with the nearby counties, Hexi really has no advantages, but there are more rivers and lakes than other places, seeing that it is summer, I asked people to catch shrimp and make some food to sell, but there is no way, and the imperial court does not allow the imperial court officials to do business in person, so I have to trouble you to go to the surrounding counties to publicize it." β
"Shouting in the street?" Li Qingzhi said nervously.
They are all accustomed to disappearing their tracks and going alone, and it is really difficult for them to stand on the street and shout.
"Nope." Wu Lingyuan smiled slightly, "You guys go to the counties to make a shop first, first recruit a few honest shopkeepers and guys, and run their own businesses first, if it is easy to sell, you can do it in large quantities, after all, it is easy to break." β
"I knew it was a Hongmen banquet." Mo Sigui leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette casually, "I'm not going." β
"The miracle doctor doesn't have to go." Wu Lingyuan paused for a moment, "But the yamen is really difficult right now." If the doctor has time, can he visit the doctor twice......"
Mo Sigui was silent for a few breaths, and finally nodded, "The consultation fee is less than five thousand taels without diagnosis, and the range is more than twenty miles." β
Wu Lingyuan's clear eyes flashed with a smile, and he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Mo Sigui, "Divine doctor, take a look, these few are not okay." β
Mo Sigui looked at the sharp handwriting on the paper and opened his mouth.
There are more than a few written on that paper! There are clearly more than a dozen! He lives in this courtyard, and he doesn't even know when Wu Lingyuan will contact these people!
"The reputation of the miracle doctor is very good, they don't dare to let the miracle doctor go back and forth, I plan to clean up some yards for them to live in." Wu Lingyuan asked in a very respectful tone. "What does the doctor think?"
"I'm cΔo!" Mo Sigui couldn't help but slap the table, "It's all an emergency, you want to be tired to death!" β
"Those who can work more, those who can work more! Ha ha. Wu Lingyuan smiled unconfidently.
Seeing that Mo Sigui was staring at the paper and didn't speak, Wu Lingyuan looked at Sui Yunzhu and Li Qingzhi again, "There is a dart bureau in Hejian Mansion that recently received a big order to escort goods to Xijin Mansion, but they lacked good dart masters, so they hired two ...... at a high price."
Sui Yunzhu's heart trembled, "Your Excellency has already agreed?" β
If you get a job to go to Liao to assassinate. Sui Yunzhu is a little more acceptable, dart master, it's okay if nothing happens, once something happens, then he will be a live target!
"Haha. I think both of them are capable people from the Crane Control Army, this little thing ......"
Li Qingzhi couldn't sit still, "I've really agreed!" β
Wu Lingyuan pursed his lips and didn't speak, his light eyes were slightly apologetic.
"That's it. It's not far away, I just want to go to Liaoguo! "Li Qingzhi.
Sui Yunzhu had no choice but to nod.
Wu Lingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll give someone a reply right away and say that you agreed." β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Bloody ......" Wu Lingyuan looked over.
Bloody said immediately. "I have to follow Miss An in life and death."
Everyone looked at An Jiu.
An Jiu glanced at the blood, got up and ran away!
The bloody figure shook and ran away.
"Ah, there is such a rogue method!" Mo Sigui blew a cigarette, "What's this called!" β
The reason why they came to Hexi with them was mostly because of An Jiu, and everyone together honestly squeezed Wu Lingyuan, but she ran away!
Wu Lingyuan didn't expect that his seemingly strict benefactor would still have such a side, and in desperation, his eyes fell on Wei Yuzhi, who had been sitting quietly.
Wei Yuzhi rolled up his sleeves, raised his eyes slightly, and met his gaze with a smile, looking extremely gentle, and his gray-brown eyes were shallow but inexplicably deep.
Being looked at by him so indifferently, Wu Lingyuan only felt that there was a mountain above his head and pressed down, but Wu Lingyuan's heart has always been calm, and he just resisted the pressure, and said, "Sir, Hexi County lacks a county lieutenant, I don't know if Mr. can give in." β
As soon as these words came out, even Mo Sigui, who was about to fall asleep, couldn't help but be stunned.
Wei Yuzhi smiled, and actually looked a little shy, "I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to be an official of the Great Song Dynasty in this life." β
Wu Lingyuan had a discerning eye in his heart, knowing that the seemingly harmless person in front of him was actually the most powerful, and it was already cheeky to ask him to be his deputy, if people were unwilling, he would not dare to lure him like he did with Mo Sigui and others.
Just when Wu Lingyuan gave up persuasion, Wei Yuzhi actually threw him a choice, "I am willing to be a staff member to help you tilt the power of the government and the opposition, are you willing to be a puppet for five years?" β
Anyone in Wu Lingyuan's position will not be happy to hear these words, but the temptation of the power to lean towards the government and the opposition is too great, and it is so much worse than seeking the dynasty to usurp the throne.
Everyone thought that Wu Lingyuan would say that he would consider, but who expected him to smile calmly and indifferently, "If Mr. really has the ability, what does it matter?" β
seems to be a joke-like conversation, but both of them are extremely serious.
"Tsk, you find a quiet place to go high and high, Lao Tzu is gone." Mo Si got up and Shi Shiran went out.
Sui Yunzhu and Li Qingzhi also left.
Only two people were left sitting opposite each other in the room.
Wu Lingyuan said, "I don't know Mr. Gao's surname." β
"Wei Yuzhi."
Wu Lingyuan was slightly taken aback, "The second owner of the Ethereal Mountain Villa!" β
He didn't know the inside story of the Ethereal Villa, but Wei Yuzhi was known as a wise man, he lived in the mouth of the river where fish and dragons were mixed, and he had heard of it, as for what Wei Yuzhi did to achieve fame, he didn't know.
Wu Lingyuan's blindness has created an open-minded mind over the years, and he can also think openly, if there is a person whose ability is better than him, there is nothing wrong with being an idle county official, but he is a little puzzled, "With the ability of Mr., it is not difficult to seek officials in the imperial examination, why do you have to deign to be Wu's staff?" β
"Born by birth. And I don't have much left to live, and if I wait for the selection of the guΓ² layers, maybe I won't have time to do anything, and I'll be gone. During this period of time, Wei Yuzhi thought a lot, and when he saw Wu Lingyuan, he felt that this was an opportunity sent to him by heaven, maybe there was a hand in the dark that was guiding him in the direction of his progress.
Wu Lingyuan sighed in his heart and sighed, "I don't want power to lean towards the government and the opposition, but I want to do something for the Great Song Dynasty." β
"Nope. This is my condition for your staff. Wei Yuzhi's tone was shallow but firm, "I can help you do anything you can't do or dare not do, but you must stand at the pinnacle of power and clear the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and be fearless, even if it is imperial power." β
He looked at Wu Lingyuan's shocked expression and continued, "The so-called 'puppet' is just a tentative word, I am willing to drive for you, as long as you swear in front of me to do what I said above." β
"Get power?!" Wu Lingyuan's throat was dry, he had never thought of such a crazy thing, he just wanted to do something for the country and the people.
Wei Yuzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The emperor is weak and stupid, covering the sky with one hand." The emperor is strong and follows it, not hesitating to be famous before and after. β
If the emperor is still unreliable like before, he will fool him, hold the power in his hand and cover the sky with one hand, if the emperor is capable, he can serve him, as long as he can rectify the dynasty and eliminate the ills, he can do anything, and he doesn't care about being infamous.
But Wu Lingyuan has always wanted to be a loyal minister......
Wei Yuzhi had already seen through his thoughts, "This world, not a plaything in anyone's pocket, the emperor has assumed the heavy responsibility of the world according to the mandate of heaven, if he can't make the world prosperous, why do people with lofty ideals in my generation be his dogs and horses!" β
"That's what the gentleman said." Wu Lingyuan's original intention was not to be a cow or a horse for the emperor, but under the influence of the idea of "loyal monarch", he did not give birth to such a bold concept as Wei Yuzhi.
Wei Yuzhi's face did not move, "Since I have already said this, I am not afraid to confess to you, I was working for the Liao State before." β
"Why?" Wei Yuzhi's intuition was that he had a hard time.
Wei Yuzhi was silent for a moment, and briefly said his life experience, "My family has been loyal and good for generations, but it was unjustly killed, so I wanted to destroy this decay with my own hands, but recently I have figured it out, it turns out that there can be other ways to achieve what I want, but destroying miΓ¨ is more pleasant than changing, and I subconsciously chose that path first." β
Ordinary people will definitely think about revenge when they encounter the grievances of being destroyed, but Wei Yuzhi has already seen through the decay under the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, and the road to revenge is hopeless, and his family is not destroyed in the hands of a certain person, but in this environment.
Now that he has killed the mastermind of the case, he also wants to understand a lot of things.
"You want me to overturn the case for you?" Wu Lingyuan asked. (To be continued......)
