Chapter 23, Fueling the Flames

After coming out of Yang's mansion, Li Mingshuo was like a frosted eggplant, riding on a horse, hanging his head, crying and mourning, afraid that his mother would be disappointed and sad after hearing the result, he didn't dare to go home, and he didn't know where to go, so he had to walk on the reins, wandering around the street blindly, Li Moge rode a horse and followed him, and didn't know what to say to comfort him, seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Moge's stomach was already grunting with hunger, and secretly thinking that it was not a way to wander around so blindly, so he had to find a place to eat, so he pointed to the front and said to the master: "Master." , The front is Lin Wendian Lin's house, why don't we go to Lin Wendian's house to discuss this matter with him, as the saying goes, three stinkers, top Zhuge Liang, the three of us get together, maybe we can come up with a way to save our family. ”

"Lin Keli?" Li Mingshuo muttered the name: "What good can he do?" If he had a way, he wouldn't be worse than he was getting worse. A few days ago, he invited me to accompany him to see the house, and he wanted to sell the big house and replace it with a smaller one, and change some silver flowers in his hands. ”

"Master, don't be so discouraged. When I was a child, I heard you tell the story of Uncle Bao and Guan Zhong, that Guan Zhong is a famous appearance through the ages, I didn't expect to do anything when I was with Uncle Bao, others said that Guan Zhong had no ability, but Uncle Bao didn't think so, so ah, this person, I feel that he can't do it in this regard, maybe other aspects can stand alone, let's try our luck and see if we can save a way in Master Lin's house. ”

Li Mingshuo didn't have a lot of hope, and there was no other way to think about it, and he had nowhere to go, so he thought: "Let's go and eat a meal for him." So the master and servant whipped their horses and went to Lin Keli's house.

When the two of them arrived, Lin Keli's family was preparing to have a meal, and when he saw a guest coming, Lin Keli hurriedly instructed the servants to add two more dishes, and brought wine, and the family went back to the room to eat, and the host and guests ate in the dining room, and Mo Ge also went to the table to accompany him to pour wine.

After the meal was served, Mo Ge poured wine for the two masters, and Lin Keli asked Li Mingshuo: "The brothers just met yesterday, why did the virtuous brother come to see me today?" ”

Li Mingshuo took a sip of wine, frowned and pouted: "This mood is different, the taste of the wine is actually different, and this wine is a little bitter today." ”

Lin Keli said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Xian is not in a good mood today, what is there to be sad about, can you talk to Brother Fool about it, even if I can't help, it is okay to comfort Brother Xian." ”

Li Mingshuo took another sip of wine, and frowned: "It's all for my father, a few days ago, one of them impeached my father in the matter, and the emperor wanted to escort my father back to Beijing for trial, so I went to visit Yang Boqing, I was hoping to beg him to go to the Tao to defend his father's grievances and exonerate himself, who knew that this old boy was wise enough to protect his life, and refused to write for me to make a statement, and also enlightened me that it was good for my father to have no worries about his life, Brother Lin, even if my father had no worries about his life, how could this grievance be swallowed, Moreover, as children, how can we let our parents go through a prison sentence and let our parents live in that dark cell? ”

When Lin Keli heard Yang Boqing's name, he smiled slightly, it was indeed quite meaningful, and said to Li Mingshuo with a smile: "Brother Xian is really not used to worrying, haven't you heard of the little suspicion between Lord Ling Zun and Brother Yang Boqing?" ”

"My father still has a disagreement with Yang Boqing? I didn't hear my father talk about it. ”

"So I said that the virtuous brother doesn't worry about everything, I also heard the timber merchants in the Tao said, Ling Zun built fortifications, Yang Boqing was responsible for the procurement and transportation of engineering materials, Ling Zun found that the price of the purchased materials was high, but the quality of the materials was not flattering, so he negotiated with Yang Boqing, and forced Yang Boqing to change a batch of engineering materials with good quality, and tossed Yang Boqing and the businessmen who enveloped him and did not make any money. Is Yang Boqing the kind of person who is honest and upright? ”

Li Mingshuo woke up like a dream, and said to himself: "It seems that I and this Yang Boqing will not be brothers in the future." Even if they are forced to come and go, they are also hypocritical and hypocritical, and they are just acting on the spot. ”

Mo Ge interjected: "It's nothing to be hypocritical, their officials have always been like this, and the most important thing now is to keep our old lady, as long as our old lady doesn't have an accident, everything else is secondary." Master Lin, I have always felt that you are an extraordinary person, in recent years, you have just met a talent, can you help our son-in-law to rescue my old lady? ”

Lin Keli pretended to smile deeply, and said: "Little brother is really asking the right person, if you master and servant came the day before yesterday, I wouldn't have this way, but you came today, I already have this way, it can be seen that God opened his eyes, and he couldn't bear to bring disaster to the family of loyal ministers." ”

When Li Mingshuo's master and servant heard what their master said, they couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly asked what was the clever plan?

Lin Keli smiled mysteriously: "You still need to tie the bell to solve the bell, wait a minute, I'll go get the trick first." ”

After a while, Lin Keli came back with two books, sat back in his seat, and handed the top one to Li Mingshuo, while the other one was still in his hand.

Li Mingshuo took the book, Mo Ge also stretched out his head to look at it, it didn't matter, the faces of the two people were red, it turned out to be a pornographic book full of pages of spring palace pictures, Mo Ge held back his laughter and didn't let himself make a sound, Li Mingshuo blushed, trying to fit his mouth that he couldn't close, and scolded with a smile: "You old horny worm, this is your trick?" If it's a clever plan, there are a bunch of them in my second room, all of them are hardcover, don't take our Moge, my Moge is still an innocent virgin, isn't it? Mogo? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, no." Li Moge was already shaking with laughter.

Lin Keli raised the book in his hand and said: "That's just a brick, the jade is here, you look through it first, what is the mystery in it." ”

Li Mingshuo burned an old face, looked at the pictures inside, looking for the subtleties, and saw that the title was written next to the man on each page of the spring palace map, there is Tian Geng, Tian Geng, Tian Geng stealing incense, Tian Geng stealing jade, Tian Geng cart, Tian Geng playing phoenix, etc., etc., it seems that the man who enjoys the joy of fish and water in this picture is called Tian Geng.

"Tian Geng!" Li Mingshuo questioned Lin Keli: "Isn't Yang Boqing's henchman called Tian Geng?" ”

"Do you think there's a second plough?" Lin Keli smiled sadly.

"Why are you playing tricks on the fields?" Li Mingshuo questioned.

"With the way of others to govern their bodies, this field farming, has always been a dog to look at people low, to see people under the dishes, Ping Suli did not give me a stumbling block, so that the wrist, this is not yesterday Yang Boqing's birthday when he came to me to give the post when he asked my house janitor Lao Zhang to give me this post on the fourth day of the first month of September, fortunately I found that Lao Zhang has something in his pocket, so he did not miss something."

"Then how are you going to trick him and throw this obscene book into the Yang family's compound?"

"Brother Xian is really good at laughing, since he often bluffs because of his master, then I will let him throw a handful of people from his master, so I -----" Lin Keli leaned forward, approached Li Mingshuo, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday when I went to Yang's mansion, I brought this book, and Yang Boqing has a key on his study that is the key to his study, I stole it and used the excuse of Xiao Xie to leave the wine table for a while, I just wanted to put this book in Yang Boqing's study, who knew that I was looking around in his study to find a place to put books, I found this thing by accident. After speaking, Lin Keli pushed the second book that he had been holding in his hand to Li Mingshuo's eyes: this is the trick to save Lord Lingzun. ”

Li Mingshuo looked at it, it was a note, or an account book. He took it and looked through the records inside, and all the records were recorded on a certain year, month, and day, how many taels of money was given by such and such a person, and what he asked for. It turned out that Yang Boqing was quite principled in accepting bribes, and he should not accept errands that he did not want to do, those who did not want to do it, those who were too risky, and those with little room for interests, would not accept the bribes; As long as the money is collected, he will spare no effort to run the bribe for the bribe, and promise to give the bribe a satisfactory answer, high price and high service, and the payment will start without delay.

In order to prevent himself from misremembering and mixing up this matter, Yang Boqing deliberately made such a note, which is usually hidden in a relatively hidden position in the study, who knows that one day it will fall into the hands of Lin Keli, a thief of chickens and dogs, from yesterday to today in the hands of Li Mingshuo, the time is barely enough for twelve hours, Yang Boqing is not every day to see, when Li Mingshuo went to visit Yang's mansion, the owner has not yet realized that he has lost a fatal thing.

Li Mingshuo held the account book of a corrupt official, like a thousand catties of things, and muttered to himself: "My father-in-law's country has actually let these countries gnaw at a thousand holes, if my father-in-law sees these things, it will be strange if he doesn't spew out a mouthful of blood." ”

Lin Keli said with a smile: "Brother Xian, don't worry about the Holy Majesty now, let's hurry up and rescue Lord Lingzun." ”

"You mean this ledger is available to me?"

"Of course, I said that the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and whoever creates trouble for Lord Lingzun will solve it." Lin Keli's eyes fell on this ledger.

Li Mingshuo thought about it, smiled slightly, took out the two thousand taels of silver ticket from his arms, and put it in front of Lin Keli: "Brother Wendian, thanks to your courage and carefulness, we can get this clever plan to save my father and the danger." These two thousand taels of silver tickets are my thank you gifts, and there are no poor people in our family, I hope Brother Wendian will not dislike me for being shabby. ”

Lin Keli was very excited when he saw the silver ticket, and in order not to lose his temper, he forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, and shirked: "Brother Xian is really polite, my brother is in trouble, how can I sit idly by." While picking up this silver ticket, he squeezed it tightly in his hand, and said pretending to be sympathetic: "I'm afraid that Lord Lingzun's affairs will cost money, so the virtuous brother will take it back first and save Lingzun, and I will pawn something at home to eat for a while." ”

Li Mingshuo held the account book in his arms, waved his hand at Lin Keli, and pointed to the place where the account book was placed on his chest and said: "You might as well do it, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. ”

Lin Keli said with a smile: "Yes, this book is also a hot potato for me, I was in a trance for a while, and I came out, and when I got home, I thought about it left and right, but I couldn't think of how to deal with it, go back, I don't have the guts, take it and knock it out, I'm afraid that someone will be ruthless, so I made me, I hope that Brother Xian won't mention how you got this account book, and also protect me." ”

"Of course." Li Mingshuo's face turned to Mo Ge and said with a smile: "This innocent virgin, you only saw the Spring Palace map today, and you didn't see any other books, do you know?" ”

"I know, I don't hide it from the two masters, Mo Ge only knew today that there are so many things about men and women, and today's villain book is really an enlightenment for me, thank you Master Lin for enlightening me."

Li Mingshuo and Lin Keli glanced at each other and laughed.
