Chapter 248: The Second Layer of Identity
After so many years, there has not been the slightest flaw, and in the eyes of the rest of the court, they are natural rivals, and they are incompatible.
They were even complacent about the seamless layout, but now it seems that everything seems so ridiculous.
After a long time, the prime minister put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Don't remember what has passed, after all, when the time comes, you may have to rely on him." β
"The Prime Minister is going to leave it at that?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously, "He violated your alliance, logically speaking, ......"
The prime minister shook his head, "After all, his strength is very great, and now before there is conclusive evidence, it is not good for me to tear his face with him, but there is no way to cooperate as sincerely as before, by the way, you said that the fourth child still has news to bring me, what is the news?" β
"I don't know the mystery of God, I'm afraid that you will get angry and blame him for not doing things well, so I let him go down first." The middle-aged man said.
"Do you think the fourth child has the courage to do this kind of behind-the-scenes trick?" The prime minister suddenly asked.
The middle-aged man immediately shook his head, "Of course not, the teacher has always been loyal, and he is a person I trained single-handedly, not to mention such a large batch of treasures, if he is relaxed, why should he come back?" Take a boat to go to sea, or go to the Western Regions to temporarily avoid the limelight, we have no way to take him. β
The prime minister thought about it, and seemed to feel that there was some reason, so he nodded and said: "It is indeed difficult for him to leave such a big thing to do alone. β
"How is the Prime Minister going to punish him?" The middle-aged man asked.
"He has merit and hard work." The prime minister thought for a moment and said, "You bring him some silver as a reward, and by the way, ask him what the secret is that he wants to tell me." β
The middle-aged man answered, turned his head and stepped back.
The prime minister squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze was far-reaching, "King Mujun, don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind." After speaking, he snorted coldly and turned to sit down.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to run in in a panic, "The prime minister is not good, the fourth brother has brought a shocking secret." β
"If it's so important, why be so flustered, let's be honest." The prime minister sighed deeply, no matter what good news or bad news it is now, where is the treasure important? He didn't really care, so he said calmly. "Speak slowly."
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, assessed his mood, and then said, "Didn't you always doubt Qi Lichen's identity before?" β
The prime minister frowned, and probably guessed a few points, "Could this be related to him?" Remembering that he was also involved in many of them at the beginning, and there were specific clues about the treasure, all of which he had collected, he was a little suspicious.
This time, he specially didn't let Qi Lichen intervene for this reason, he thought that no matter how good the other party was, it would be difficult to support him alone, as long as he didn't get involved with their people, he would have no chance to start.
It seems that even if he is not allowed to interfere in this matter, he has other ways to get involved in this matter.
Could it be that he cooperated with Qingyu Pavilion? Thinking about it, he asked this question, and the middle-aged man took a breath, and then explained: "It would be nice if that was the case, I don't think he is terrible." β
The prime minister was annoyed by his betrayal, and said sharply: "You should hurry up." β
Only then did the middle-aged man react, he was shocked by such a huge secret, so he was so mysterious, selling Guanzi, thinking of this, he immediately said: "According to reliable information, Qi Lichen is the master of Qingyu Pavilion. β
"What?" Cheng almost didn't squirt out the tea in his mouth.
The middle-aged man nodded vigorously, "I really can't imagine that such a shabby talent is actually the famous Qingyu Pavilion Master on the rivers and lakes, he is so bitter to deceive us, such a person lurks by your side, I don't know what kind of purpose it is." β
The prime minister still couldn't believe it, although he had long known that Qi Lichen might have some unknown purposes, but he never thought that he was the pavilion master of Qingyu Pavilion.
"Is this news true? How did you get it? What the fourth said may not be the truth. The prime minister questioned.
The middle-aged man immediately defended the fourth child, "He saw it with his own eyes, how can it be fake?" What's more, the Jianghu organization you sent to let him stay is not an unknown person, they found it through some methods, and after meeting people later, the fourth child also confirmed it, absolutely right. β
"This man is horrible." The prime minister took a deep breath.
"His purpose is not pure, Prime Minister should be careful." The middle-aged man said.
The prime minister nodded, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head again and said: "Don't alarm anyone, Qi Lichen has seen the fourth child, let him go out and find a place to hide, it is better to let others find him, the power of Qingyu Pavilion is too great, and it is not safe anywhere, I thought that Qingyu Pavilion just wanted that batch of treasures, but I never thought that they still wanted to set foot in the court, I have to figure out his true purpose." β
The middle-aged man said again, "The fourth child also brought a piece of news, I don't know if it's useful or not." β
"Let's hear about it." The prime minister said lightly.
The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "The fourth brother said, that Qi Lichen also has a weakness, his fiancΓ©e, whose name is Xi Muyun, is the proprietress of a pastry shop in Qi County. β
The prime minister laughed, "It's just a woman, do you still expect to use a woman to make Qi Lichen obediently arrested?" β
The middle-aged man immediately said: "The fourth said that these two people seem to have a heart, and they will play him around without meeting, presumably the relationship is not bad, and according to what Xi Muyun said, the relationship between the two should be good, I think, Qi Lichen should not be so ruthless, regardless of this fiancΓ©e." β
The prime minister thought for a while, nodded and said: "You can gamble, this time the fourth child did a good job, give him more reward, let him find a place to avoid, don't let others know that he has something to do with me, wait for this matter, and then transfer it to me to keep it." β
The middle-aged man answered, as if he was happy, and withdrew.
The prime minister squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes were full of cruelty.
After Qi Lichen left, he did not rush back to Qi County, but went to Yanzhou first.
This time, he didn't bring many people, only a white ice, hiding people's eyes and ears and attracting people's attention.
The rest of the people went back to Qi County in a big way, and went to the headquarters of Qingyu Pavilion again, as if he had already gone back.
However, his identity has been revealed, it is too dangerous, and it is very likely that there will be a lot of people staring at him, so he needs to be extra careful.
Not long after arriving in Yanzhou, two black-clothed men suddenly appeared in the room, "The master is invited." β
Qi Lichen put down the teacup in his hand slipperily, smiled and said, "I came this time, and I can't meet publicly, so I ......"
"The master understands, so please come over to the house, quietly take you over, and then send you back quietly, to ensure that no one knows, please." Humane in black.
Qi Lichen nodded, the other party has always done things safely, and he had nothing to worry about, so he went downstairs, covered his face with a hat, got into the carriage, and walked all the way down the avenue to the south.
The city of Yanzhou, because many places around it have suffered from natural disasters, so it is particularly quiet, there are not many pedestrians walking on the road, there are a lot of beggars begging for food, but it can be seen that the history of Yanzhou should have spent a lot of effort, although there are beggars, but not very many.
The suffering of people's livelihood is really heartbreaking.
