Chapter 9: Into the Tiger's Den

With Wang Dahu's skills, dealing with Li Zhongyi, a useless weak scholar, is not a piece of cake?

"Since the elder brother has already arranged it, the younger brother is destined to come back early tomorrow, no matter whether things go well or not." Li Zhongyi hurriedly expressed his position, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Huang Jingsheng looked at Li Zhongyi with a solemn face, and said: "It's a matter of importance, you and I must carefully scrutinize it, so that nothing goes wrong." ”

So, Li Zhongyi and Huang Jingsheng, you and I said a word, and discussed with each other for more than two hours, and then the entire action plan was finalized.

Early the next morning, Huang Jingsheng brought a young man with a similar figure and replaced Li Zhongyi out of the prison cell.

Li Zhongyi, who had already changed into a jailer's costume, followed behind Huang Jingsheng with his head down, and went through the four iron gates along the way very smoothly.

When he was about to leave the gate, Huang Jingsheng wanted to distract the attention of the jailers, and deliberately said a meat joke, which caused everyone to laugh.

After leaving the prison, Wang Dahu and Li Zhongyi boarded a carriage that had been arranged long ago.

After the carriage drove away, Wang Dahu leaned into Li Zhongyi's ear and whispered, "Hurry up and change your clothes." ”

Even when he got into the car, Wang Dahu's right hand never left the handle of the knife hanging on his waist.

This Wang Dahu's vigilance is not ordinarily high! Li Zhongyi understood in his heart, but he pretended to be completely insensitive, took out the clothes from the baggage, and changed them one by one.

"I inquired around Zhao's house yesterday, and the old lady Zhao didn't go out lightly, and it was difficult for ordinary guests to see him." Wang Dahu whispered some of the situation of the Zhao family, explaining in great detail, lest he miss any details.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, although it is said that it is up to people to plan things and to succeed in heaven, but the devil is often hidden in the details.

Now, the more detailed Wang Dahu's introduction, the easier it will be for Li Zhongyi to prescribe the right medicine.

"Do you think it's possible for us to come to the door so directly, to see Mrs. Zhao?" Li Zhongyi thought for a while, and had the heart to test Wang Dahu's emergency response ability.

"The news of the accident at Lang Jun's house has spread all over the streets and alleys of Chengdu Mansion, and it must have reached Zhao Xianggong's house." Wang Dahu paused, and then analyzed, "If Lang Jun just reports his name directly, let alone seeing that old lady Zhao, I'm afraid he will be taken down immediately." ”

Li Zhongyi nodded again and again, and asked Wang Dahu with a smile: "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Wang Dahu couldn't help but pause for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The little one is a rough man, he doesn't know a lot of big characters, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of the noble family. ”

Li Zhongyi's eyes flashed, this Wang Dahu is not only smart and capable, but also can clearly know his own shortcomings, he is indeed a talent.

"You're right, if we just go directly to the door of the Zhao family, I'm afraid there will be ** annoyance." Li Zhongyi almost didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about how to enter the gate of the Zhao family.

Not to mention that the gate of the Zhao family is difficult to enter, even if it is the small mansion gate of the Li family, it is difficult for idle people to enter lightly.

"What then?" Wang Dahu touched his head, at a loss.

Li Zhongyi asked Wang Dahu with a smile: "Brother Dahu, you are much more familiar with the situation of the Zhao family than me, and now I have a few questions I want to ask." ”

"Lang Jun doesn't have to be so polite, whatever the villain knows, he must be endless." Wang Dahu politely bowed his hand to Li Zhongyi.

"Brother Big Tiger, does this Zhao family have any daughters who are married far away?" Li Zhongyi asked a crucial question.

Wang Dahu thought about it carefully and said, "The villain drank tea in the teahouse opposite the door of the Zhao family yesterday, and the tea doctor who served the elegant room was a broken mouth. According to him, the eldest daughter of Zhao Xianggong married into the Zhang family of Xingyuan Mansion in Liangzhou (present-day Hanzhong, Shaanxi), and her husband was the eldest son of Zhang Qianzhao, the envoy of the Zhaowu Army. At the beginning, when Zhao Xianggong married his daughter, the extravagant pomp of ten miles of red makeup made him extremely hot, and he is still unforgettable. ”

Li Zhongyi pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Brother Big Tiger, thank you for your hard work, this news is very important." ”

Wang Dahu grinned and said, "Don't hide it from Langjun, before the villain followed Huangtou, he had been on an errand in this Chengdu Mansion. On weekdays, the villain likes to walk the streets and alleys and inquire about some short chores in the parents. ”

No wonder this Wang Dahu has many thieves and dares to love, this guy has been an ancient film policeman.

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "Brother Big Tiger, please help me get some pig blood, it's very useful." ”

"I don't know what Lang Jun wants pig blood to do?" Wang Dahu looked at Li Zhongyi suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd.

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "You and I have neither a door (a famous thorn), nor an acquaintance to introduce you, if you don't use some special means, how can you meet that old lady Zhao?" ”

Wang Dahu's eyes rolled wildly, and it didn't take much effort for him to understand Li Zhongyi's intentions.

"Lang Jun is clever, and the villain admires him very much." Wang Dahu looked at Li Zhongyi with admiration, he thought to himself, Li Zhongyi is only a teenager, and he is already so meticulous in doing things, will he be able to grow up in the future.

On the way, when passing by a butcher shop, Wang Dahu got out of the car and got half a pot of pig blood.

"When you get to the Zhao Mansion, you still don't want to go in. In case of a mistake, you can go back and report to your brother. Li Zhongyi very considerately persuaded Wang Dahu not to follow him to take risks.

Wang Dahu thinks about it, he is an authentic local, and his accent has a strong Chengdu accent, which can easily arouse the suspicion of the Zhao family.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history, the countries that claimed the emperor regarded themselves as the orthodox ones that replaced the Tang Dynasty, and the official language of Shu has always been the "Heluo official dialect".

Heluo official dialect is also known as "Jingluo dialect", according to the research of modern linguists, Jingluo dialect is the closest to modern Hakka.

In the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, Li Zhongyi's ancestors migrated to the mountainous areas of southern Jiangxi to avoid disasters, and the entire town was a Hakka family who fled together. Li Zhongyi was admitted to university, and before he left his hometown, he kept speaking Hakka.

When Li Zhongyi just came over, it was because he couldn't grasp the subtle differences between ancient and modern Heluo dialect for a while, so he didn't dare to speak, so as not to be seen by Li Dahe.

Now, Li Zhongyi's Heluo dialect with a Gannan accent, even if the servants of the Zhao family are suspicious, will not be exposed on the spot.

On the way, Wang Dahu brought pig blood, soil and charcoal basins. Li Zhongyi scooped up pig blood and soil, sprinkled it on the hem of his shirt, and then crumpled it into a ball and put it on a charcoal basin to dry.

After preparing to stop, Wang Dahu took advantage of the excuse to support the driver and personally drove Li Zhongyi to the back door of the Zhao Mansion in a carriage.

Under the gaze of the servant in front of the door, Li Zhongyi staggered down from the carriage and stumbled towards the back door of the Zhao Mansion, "Liang...... Liangzhou ...... Big Lady ...... Something happened......" rushed into the arms of the manservant who greeted him.

"What? What happened to the big lady? The manservant stared at Li Zhongyi, who was gray-faced and had a lot of blood stains on his clothes, and he was stunned in front of the door for a while, looking dazed.

Li Zhongyi achieved his goal, rolled his eyes, decisively pretended to be dizzy, and his whole body immediately fell into the arms of the manservant.

"Zhao Sixteen, what's wrong?" At this time, the fifth housekeeper guarding the back door was in a commotion at the gate of Juefu, and he hurriedly ran out of the gatehouse, stood on the steps and asked sharply.

Zhao Sixteen, who held Li Zhongyi in his arms, came back to his senses and quickly turned his head and said, "This person ...... This man said, "Something happened to my eldest lady......"

"Ah......" The fifth housekeeper saw the blood stains on Li Zhongyi's body, and immediately gasped, could it be that the Zhang family of Liangzhou, who held the military power, wanted to rebel and murdered Mrs. Zhao?

"Quick, bring it in, go to Changyou Xuan......" The fifth housekeeper has been in charge of the reception of foreign affairs, but he has some knowledge, he is now on both sides of the street There are passers-by who have stopped and waited to see the excitement, he hurriedly ordered, "Zhao Wu, you idiot, what are you doing, hurry up and invite Lang Zhong to come." I'm going to report to the old lady......"

After all, the Zhao family is a famous family, and the servants have long been well-trained. Now, the five housekeepers stood up to give orders, and everyone obeyed the orders, and carried Li Zhongyi, who was pretending to be dizzy, into the Zhao Mansion.

The fifth housekeeper hurriedly ran to the outer study, found Mrs. Zhao, and reported the major events in his life.

Suddenly hearing that something happened to the eldest lady who was married to Liangzhou, the old lady Zhao's right hand that was waving paused slightly, but she didn't immediately interrogate the fifth housekeeper.

It wasn't until she finished copying the whole word that Mrs. Zhao gently put down the brush in her hand, turned around, and asked the fifth housekeeper lightly: "Where is the person who reported the news now?" ”

The fifth housekeeper secretly admired the old lady's calm and spicy, and he whispered: "Back to the old lady's words, because of the importance of the matter, the little trembling courage placed that person in Changyou Xuan. ”

"You've done a good job." Old lady Zhao nodded, Chang Youxuan was by the most secluded right corner door in the back garden, where he had always enjoyed the flowers and fished alone, and the servants in the family were not allowed to approach until they were called.

The fifth housekeeper saw that the old lady approved his arrangement, and while secretly breathing a sigh of relief, he also felt a little proud in his heart.

"Can you please Langzhong?" Old Lady Zhao pondered for a moment, raised her eyes and asked the fifth housekeeper.

The fifth housekeeper hurriedly said: "The little one saw that the person's condition was a little bad, and he was covered with bloodstains, so he had already asked someone to invite Xie Langzhong, a famous doctor who often came to his home to see the sick. ”

Old lady Zhao nodded and said, "Since it is Xie Langzhong, then it doesn't matter, you can go to Changyouxuan with me." ”

By the time Mrs. Zhao arrived at Changyouxuan, Li Zhongyi had already been placed on the bed in the east wing.

"No one is allowed to come near this place." Old lady Zhao stood in front of the door, staring at Zhao Da, the chief steward of the Zhao family.

"Whoa." Zhao Da saw the killing intent in the old lady's eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, and immediately ordered the servants who came with him to scatter and surround the entire East Chamber.

Zhao Da took a step forward to push open the door, and when Mrs. Zhao entered the house, he quickly closed the door with his backhand gently.

By the bright candlelight, Mrs. Zhao walked slowly towards the bed, her expression looking extremely solemn.

Just now, although Li Zhongyi was lying on the bed, he also clearly heard the command from outside the door, the voice was old and strong, and it had the awe-inspiring aura of being in the top position for a long time.

Now, Li Zhongyi heard the sound of opening and closing the door and slow footsteps again, and he knew very well in his heart that it should be Mrs. Zhao who was coming.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Li Zhongyi didn't wait for the footsteps to stop in front of the bed, so he deliberately made a voice to remind the visitor that he had woken up.

At this time, Zhao Da took a half step ahead, intentionally or unintentionally, using his broad body to cover the left half of Old Lady Zhao's body, and his right hand was always pressed on the hilt.

"This Langjun, are you awake?" Old Lady Zhao stopped and gently probed Li Zhongyi, who had opened his eyes, and his gaze slowly swept over his face stained with dust and blood.
