What should come, will come.

Just like the person sitting in front of him at this time, even though Li Xiao had rejected Chen Ziye's invitation several times, he knew that as long as he was still in Jingshi, this person would not give up, just like the person in the plan, he still did not give up for more than ten years.

It's just that Li Xiao never thought that the Yu Gong in Chen Ziye's mouth turned out to be one of those people in the Chu family's courtyard back then.

That's right, Li Xiao has seen the person sitting in front of him, but Li Xiao at that time was still a baby who had just turned one year old, but he just remembered the person in front of him, Chen Ziye often hung in his mouth, Yu Gong.

No wonder he never gave up inviting Li Xiao to meet, not because of the princess's insignificant interests, but because he was inviting Li Xiao, inviting Li Xiao to enter the game and join the camp.

"It's all grown so big." Yu Kangzhi put down the yellowed scroll in his hand, picked up the teacup and poured a cup, handed it to Li Xiao, and then said: "Drink a cup of tea and moisten your throat." ”

Li Xiao took the teacup, put it in his hand, subconsciously glanced at the book beside Yu Kangzhi, smiled, and didn't drink it.

"It's me who is abrupt." Yu Kangzhi patted his thigh and said with a smile: "My surname is Yu, and I am an old friend of your father, just call me Uncle Yu." ”

Li Xiao nodded and did not speak. He had heard Chu Yi mention this person.

This person's surname is Yu, and his name is Kangzhi. It is indeed Chu Yi's old friend, of course, the most important thing is that Yu Kangzhi was still the person who appeared in the Chu family's courtyard back then, and he was the first person to propose the plan that gave Li Xiao a headache.

"What's the matter, my own family, such a life." Yu Kangzhi poured a cup of tea, paused for a moment, sighed and continued: "Alas, too, you have been in Jingshi for so long, and you haven't been able to meet you yet, so you have this incident, and it is Uncle Yu who failed to protect you." ”

As he spoke, Yu Kangzhi shook his head and drank all the tea in his hand. He continued: "If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your father. ”

Looking at Yu Kangzhi, Li Xiao didn't know if the truth was revealed in front of him, and he couldn't tell it. He and he were just in a hurry when they were children, and they didn't have an in-depth understanding, and Chu Yi even mentioned a few words casually. Although Yu Kangzhi is a person in the plan and everything he does is for his own good, but now he is on the cusp, whether it is the procuratorate or Dongchang, or some officials in the court, they are always staring at him.

So it's hard to guarantee whether the person in front of him is coming for some interests. Moreover, the real culprit behind the Wencheng Street assassination is still uncertain, and he cannot be sure that Yu Kangzhi is not the one who planned the Wencheng Street incident.

It can be said that Li Xiao doesn't trust anyone now, except for the little girl he bought, Chu Chu.

"Li Xiao is nothing serious, Uncle Yu doesn't have to blame himself." Li Xiao opened his mouth lightly and put the teacup aside without leaving a trace.

Yu Kangzhi was not surprised that Li Xiao did not drink tea, after all, it is a good thing that Li Xiao is so vigilant now. Put down the clean teacup in his hand, looked ashamed, and said: "This matter is also my fault, I failed to clean up the stagnant water in the front street of Wan'an Temple as soon as possible that day, so that you can only go back from the deserted Wencheng Street, it is my fault." ”

"Huh?" Li Xiao raised his head and squinted at Yu Kangzhi.

Yu Kangzhi, who felt Li Xiao's gaze, continued: "But you have to understand, nephew, although I am still the left prime minister of the imperial court, and I am still in charge of the Ministry of Industry on the surface, but I actually ......."

Saying that, Yu Kangzhi sighed helplessly and continued: "Actually, the Ministry of Industry has already fallen into the hands of the person surnamed Shi, and even the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is already a member of the Shi family. ”

Yu Kangzhi is also helpless, although he is the person personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor, but his strength is really not as good as the Shi family, one is that the Shi family has a deep foundation, and the other is because the person surnamed Shi had the help of Dongchang in the early days, which caused the officials to dare not approach him. Therefore, Rao is His Majesty the Emperor intended to support him, but he couldn't do anything about it, and handed over the Ministry of Industry to the Shi family in vain.

Li Xiao leaned to the side and looked at the people outside through the gap.

According to what Yu Kangzhi said, he is now the left prime minister of Haoguo, and he should have a transcendent status, but because he couldn't fight the right prime minister, he lost the Ministry of Industry in vain. And what he said should be true.

Li Xiao has learned about the situation in the court of Haoguo today, and the right prime minister Shi Song is dominant, although it is rumored that he is not in agreement with his former partner Dongchang, but with today's Shi Song, he no longer cares about this. There are six departments of the imperial court, and it is estimated that four of them are under the control of Shi Song. And the so-called Yudong Factory is not compatible, probably a trick to prevaricate others. If it really doesn't match, with the strength of the East Factory, even if it can't bring down the Shi family, it can make the Shi family lose a piece of meat.

"So Uncle Yu, what do you mean is that the flood in front of Wan'an Temple during the rainy season is the work of the Shi family?" Li Xiao asked.

"I'm not sure." Yu Kangzhi then poured a cup of tea and said, "Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, this still has to be investigated slowly." ”

As he spoke, Yu Kangzhi drank all the tea, then put down the teacup, rubbed the teacup with one hand, looked at Li Xiao, and asked, "I don't know what the virtuous nephew plans to do next, but I still want to go back to Suzhou?" ”

Li Xiao just smiled faintly and said in his heart, this is the purpose of Yu Kangzhi coming to him this time. After all, the one back then was still going on, and it still wouldn't work without him. It is estimated that even if Li Xiao refuses today, Yu Kangzhi will persuade him, otherwise he would not have taken such a risk and came to wait for him outside the imperial city.

As for going back to Suzhou, I can't go back for the time being.

Retracted his gaze looking out the window, and said: "After sleeping for so many days, I found Jingshi very interesting, so I won't go back to Suzhou first, stay a few more days, and find out who wants to kill me." ”

Yu Kangzhi nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Xiao, and said, "It's a good thing that the virtuous nephew wants to find out the real murderer, and it's good to avenge himself." It's just that the Jingshi is dangerous, and there are crises everywhere, so the virtuous nephew should be more careful. If you need it, you can come to your uncle. ”

Li Xiao nodded and looked down at the teacup on the side.

Yu Kangzhi continued: "Although my uncle and I are not strong in the DPRK, I can still help a little. Uncle I am also a civil official, and I also have a place in the Haoguo literary circle. Besides, you're friends with Midnight, so it's convenient to talk. ”

Zuo Prime Minister Yu Kangzhi, who was famous earlier than Chen Ziye, was also shocked in the Haoguo literary world, although he is now an official in the court, but Yu Wei is still there, and he can still say a word in the literary world.

"Then Li Xiao is here, thank you, Uncle Yu." Li Xiao arched his hand towards Yu Kangzhi and said with a smile.

Although the literati are not good at martial arts, they are all talented people who like to show off their sour words and songs, but it has to be said that no matter which dynasty they are in, literati are indispensable. Li Xiao has never despised the literati, and what he disdains is those fake talents who deliberately show off rhetoric and tend to be inflammatory.

In any case, it is better to have Yu Kangzhi's help than nothing, although Li Xiao feels that he may not necessarily use it. Because he doesn't know why, he doesn't like Yu Kangzhi very much, although he is a literati and Chu Yi's old friend, but in Li Xiao's opinion, Yu Kangzhi's official corruption is too heavy, so he doesn't like it so much. Of course, maybe it was Yu Kangzhi who first proposed the plan that made Li Xiao uncomfortable.

"I wonder if Uncle Yu needs Li Xiao's help?" Based on that plan, Li Xiao asked more.

It's not that he has nothing to do, it's just that as a person in the plan, he has to know something, otherwise he will be led away in such a daze, which is not Li Xiao's favorite style.

Yu Kangzhi looked at Li Xiao, obviously asked by Li Xiao's question, and was stunned for a while, before he smiled awkwardly and said: "There is nothing that needs the help of the virtuous nephew at present, the virtuous nephew only needs to protect himself." ”

I don't know why Li Xiao suddenly asked this question, could it be that he knew the plan, but not many people knew about that plan, except for Chu Yi, Luo Ma and Sun Miao, it was difficult for the three of them to tell it, but it was not good to inform Li Xiao, on the contrary, Li Xiao may be impulsive and expose everything in advance, the three of them know the stakes, and they shouldn't be able to say it.

It is estimated that it was Li Xiao's whim, so feel free to ask.

"By the way, nephew, there's one more thing you need to know." Yu Kangzhi sighed, his face embarrassed.

"What?" Looking at Yu Kangzhi, Li Xiao was puzzled. Looking at Yu Kangzhi's complexion, it should be a big deal.

"Do you remember that a few days ago, you got into a lawsuit because of something?" Yu Kangzhi looked at Li Xiao and said.

Li Xiao said: "It seems that I killed the Cai family's descendants, Wu San." ”

"It's really Wu San." Yu Kangzhi sighed and said, "But that person is not called Wu San, but Wu Qilong." It was a chess piece that I arranged in the Cai family, but unfortunately my whereabouts were revealed, I lost my life, and I also caused you to suffer for no reason. ”

"Huh?" Li Xiao looked at the teacup in front of him and lowered his head in contemplation.

I thought that Wu San, oh no, Wu Qilong's matter was specially designed by some people in order to beat themselves, and they wanted to use a subordinate to get themselves, but now that they heard Yu Kangzhi say this, Li Xiao couldn't help but wonder if those people knew something to arrange themselves and Wu Qilong together so coincidentally, which is very strange.

"Virtuous nephew, it's not early, go back early, stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will displease some people." Yu Kangzhi smiled and said.

Also, now that he is being stared at by countless people, staying with an important minister of the court for so long is not good for the two of them.

He arched his hand, got up and lifted the curtain, ready to leave.

"Virtuous nephew, a few days ago, Chunguangyuan died a person, it seems to be called something, Kamata Department, like you, from Suzhou." Yu Kangzhi lowered his head, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued: "According to my subordinates, the person who started it seems to have something to do with the Shi family. Moreover, Kamata is also a Beijing teacher sent by the Shi family to pick up from Suzhou. ”

Li Xiao, who was just about to go out, turned his head and looked at Yu Kangzhi with a puzzled expression, not knowing what he meant and why he suddenly told Kamata that he was killed. and said that it was a person from the Shi family, and these words made people vigilant.

Turning around towards Yu Kangzhi, he thanked him, and helped Chen Ziye's men get out of the carriage.
