Chapter Twenty-Five: The Good Price of Killing

In fact, An Legong also knows that this matter has nothing to do with Li Tiangang.

However, Zhu Ping'an was assassinated, and he was really angry, so he came to the Li Mansion to send an evil fire.

At this time, his anger calmed down a little, and he didn't want to really mess with Li Tiangang to the front of the palace, so he planned to stop fighting, but there was another rhetoric on his lips.

"Although there is no actual evidence, it can be seen from the current point of view that Master Li is the most suspicious. Since you don't recognize it today, I will sue Kyoto Prefecture, so that the Huangfu Yin can finally find out after a year and a half. If it is found out that this matter really has nothing to do with Master Li, I will show this old face and make amends to you in public. ”

When Li Tiangang heard this, he said in his heart, "You are going to drag me to death." You are an idle duke, and you have nothing to do, but Benfu is still in a hurry to go back to Jiangnan. You can drag it out, how can Benfu wait?

But this is not easy to refute, after all, the son of someone was really assassinated, can he still be asked not to report to the official?

Li Tiangang couldn't think about it for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Cheng Yaowen again and again.

"Old man, Master Li is the governor of Jiangnan appointed by the emperor, and now he is about to take office, how can he do such a foolish thing? The official is willing to guarantee, and Master Li has nothing to do with this matter. ”

Cheng Yaowen was helpless, so he had to come out and speak.

"Since even Master Cheng is willing to be a guarantor, this grandfather will believe you for the time being. However, although Xiao'er was fine last night, he was a little frightened. The Imperial Doctor said that you need to use some precious medicinal materials to ......"

The old man groaned for a while before he spoke slowly.

When Li Tiangang heard this, he knew that this was asking for silver. As long as he doesn't delay his return to Jiangnan, a few taels of silver is not enough.

"The little marquis is frightened, and the lower officials are also very worried, and today there are a few taels of thin silver for the little marquis to use for the decoction."

"Oh? It's rare for Lord Li to be so polite, so Ben Gong will not shirk, just 10,000 taels, for Lord Li, it's not a big deal. ”

"Ten thousand taels?"

Li Tiangang's jaw almost fell to the ground in shock.

He thought that he would take out a thousand and eight hundred pieces of silver, and he would have counted this matter.

I didn't expect this old man to have 10,000 taels in one mouth, is this unclear and slanderous?

"This? Old man, 10,000 silver, the lower officials really can't take it out. ”

Li Tiangang smiled bitterly.

"Alright then, we'll see you in Kyoto."

After An Legong finished speaking, he was about to get up.

Li Tiangang hurriedly glanced at Cheng Yaowen again.

Cheng Yaowen said in his heart, you two are here, but you are sandwiched me in the middle, what is this called?

"Old man, this 10,000 taels is indeed a lot, why don't you reduce it a little bit for the sake of the lower official's face?"

Cheng Yaowen had a smile on his face, but he secretly scolded the street in his heart.

"Now that Master Cheng has spoken, Grandpa Ben can't help but give this face. That's good, my father-in-law will give Master Li a discount, and you will give ......"

Cheng Yaowen didn't expect An Legong to agree so happily. Xindao still has some face, and he can't help but be secretly proud, twisting a few short whiskers on his chin with his hand.

"Just give 15,000 taels!"

"What?"

Cheng Yaowen's fingers shook, and a beard was ripped off by him, and he immediately bared his teeth in pain.

"What? Master Cheng thinks that this discount is not enough, and the public ......"

Cheng Yaowen wanted to speak again, but Li Tiangang hurriedly stopped him, and said with a wry smile, "Enough, enough, old man." For this fifteen thousand taels of silver, the lower officials immediately asked people to prepare silver tickets. ”

He glanced at Cheng Yaowen next to him, and said in his heart, you are killing a good price, with a fluttering word, Benfu is missing 5,000 taels, if you say these two sentences again, maybe it will become 30,000 taels.

"That being the case, my father is not welcome. This is also Lord Cheng's guarantee, if you are a different person, you must not be so easy today. ”

An Le Gong said seriously.

Cheng Yaowen opened his mouth wide on the side and couldn't close it anymore, as if he had swallowed a fly alive.

Looking at the back of An Le Gong leaving the house, Li Tiangang's face darkened and cold, "You old dog, and that little dog, when Benfu returns to Jiangnan and takes control of the situation, he will definitely break your corpse into pieces." Don't say it's the emperor when the time comes, even if it's an immortal, don't try to protect you! ”

"Lord Li, could it be that the breakfast in the Mansion is salted fish?"

Cheng Yaowen, who had been stunned there, suddenly sniffed his nose and seemed to smell an indescribable smell.

Li Tiangang was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart I lost more than 10,000 silver cars for nothing, you are good, you still have the heart to care about what to eat for lunch?

He ignored him with a tiger face.

……

The back kitchen of the Anle Mansion.

"Aunt Hua, why is there one less salty sea fish that I am hanging here, have you seen it?"

Fu Dahu, the master of the back kitchen, was about to prepare lunch, but found that there was one less salted fish hanging in the yard. It was sent into the house by Chengzhou Port, and the sea fish of Zhenzong was more than four feet long, which was extremely rare.

"Early in the morning, I saw that the master seemed to have taken one."

Aunt Hua was sweeping the yard and replied without raising her head.

"That's weird, when did the master love to eat raw fish?"

Hu shook his head in surprise.

…………

Back in the house, An Le Gong told Zhu Ping'an about today's events.

Zhu Ping'an didn't expect that his father would really go to the Li Mansion, and there was still 15,000 taels of silver in the account, and his heart was too slippery. It seems that his cheap dad is not as confused as he seems.

After gaining face and silver, An Legong looked a little depressed.

"Daddy, do you have anything to say?"

Zhu Ping'an saw his thoughts.

"Alas...... Daddy shouldn't have said these things to you. But when this happened, Dad couldn't help but talk about it. ”

An Le Gong let out a long sigh, his face a little solemn.

"You and my father and son are extremely favored by the emperor, and when I say these words today, I naturally feel a little sorry for the emperor. If you want your father's life, I haven't said a word, and I can hand it over to the emperor at any time. But the emperor cherishes his grandson, and I can't ignore my son......"

"You must also know the current situation, the emperor is old, and if you say something disrespectful, the limit is in the past two years. Although the grandson is benevolent and filial, his heart and means are too soft, if the emperor is gone, where is he the opponent of his wolf-like uncles? ”

"So we can't help but plan ahead for the future. Your father is old anyway, and after the emperor's big trip, it doesn't matter if he goes to serve him. But Dad, I'm really a little relieved that I can't ...... you."

"Now the seemingly peaceful Taisho Dynasty is secretly hiding countless dangers, if one is not careful, it may be a catastrophe. Your assassination is a sign, Dad thought about it carefully, but I was afraid that those who were unwilling to be lonely were testing the emperor. They didn't dare to directly target the grandson, but they picked one of his closest companions......"

The old man, who seems to be confused, has a very clear view of the current situation, and the killing of Yu Zhu Ping'an is the same as Taizu thought.

"Maybe it will happen again. Dad knows that you have a good relationship with your grandson, and he is also a little sincere to you, what Dad wants to say is that if it comes to a critical moment, no one will have your own life matter. Peace, peace, my father gave you this name, which is to let you be a mediocre rich man, not trying to dominate the world, just seeking stability for a lifetime. The affairs in the court are stormy, so let's not follow them. Do you remember these words from your father? ”

Speaking of this, the old man's tone became unusually stern.

Zhu Ping'an heard these words and knew that An Legong really cared about himself, and his heart was also moved.

"Dad, don't worry, peace has its own measure."

Zhu Ping'an thought to himself, now that he has successfully built a foundation, as long as he cultivates step by step, he will enter the innate in the future, and Ning Jin Dan will be in front of 100,000 male masters, and he will be able to slash them with one sword. There are only some conspiracies to assassinate, why bother?

With the deepening of his cultivation and often looking through the books in the Nine Heavens Persona, Zhu Ping'an really knew what kind of terrifying existence an immortal cultivator was.
