Chapter II. 239. Liu Zhi returned to Beijing

In recent days, Prince Yan Day's life has been both very fulfilling and meaningful. Of course, because I was immersed in political affairs all day, I slept too little.

And at noon today, Yan Tian, who was just about to take a break and make up for himself, was called up by the prince of the inner court.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Supervisor Liu of the Imperial Horse Prison, asked to see ...... outside the Winter Warm Pavilion"

'Your Majesty Yan Day', who was crowning himself in a dream, was awakened by the whispered reply of the king at this time, and muttered impatiently......

"Liu Zhi...... If you have any words, let him come back and forth in two hours... I still want to sleep again......... Wait...... Declare him in. ”

Yan Tian, who was sleeping in a daze, was just about to turn over and continue to make up for the wake up, but a memory suddenly flashed in his mind: Liu Zhi, the acting supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, should have just rushed back to Fengjing City from the Great Wilderness City, the capital of Dongyou Road, at this time!

That's right, as early as after Yan Tian and the Li family's outer elder Li Gao, the two of them 'had no match', the scar man sent to Youbei 'obeyed' Yan Day's order to go to the Great Wilderness City, intending to assassinate Li Le'an, the eldest lady of the Li family.

And when Li Gao saw the female head in the Li family ancestral hall, where he couldn't distinguish the face, he sent his favorite grandson Li Sanlin to Fengjing to inquire about the situation of the head of the family, Li Deng.

And just after Li Sanlin, who was 'full of merit', returned to the Great Wilderness City, Li Gao hurriedly sent a letter, hoping that the crown prince Yan Tian would fulfill his further cooperation plan with him as soon as possible. As soon as this letter arrived, Yan Tian sent Liu Zhi, who had a certain ability to do things, to go to the Great Wilderness City on an errand. First, Yan Tian planned to let Liu Zhi, the 'spy leader', go to a thorough investigation, mainly to see if this Li Gao, who eats inside and out, is the 'cover' laid for himself by the cunning and cunning Prime Minister Li Cheng;

Since Liu Zhi came to ask to see him, it must be this errand, and now he has been settled.

Yan Tianqiang cheered up, first wiped his face with a moist silk handkerchief, and then changed into a set of regular clothes under the servant girl's service, and then stretched out his hand to take over a delicate and gorgeous smoking gun handed by the maid!

As early as the beginning of the crown prince Yan Day's imprisonment for his father, he rested for less than two hours every day; After all, outside Fengjing City at that time, there were still tiger and wolf divisions led by Guo Xing. The huge mental pressure, coupled with the serious lack of sleep time, just a few days passed, and Yan Day, the newly headed prince, was tortured physically and mentally exhausted. So, on the third floor of the Shuangtian Gambling Complex, at the suggestion of the Nankang steward, he tried this kind of 'medicinal smoke' that was quite unique.

Yan Tian was born in the emperor's family since he was a child, and his character and appearance are also first-class and outstanding; Such a young man naturally likes to be clean on weekdays. So when he first smelled the hibiscus ointment, the slightly sour smell, he still had a lot of resistance; However, in the end, he pinched his nose and tried several times in order to relieve the huge pressure and fatigue of high debts and strong enemy sieges. After a few 'tries' from time to time, Yan Tian completely fell in love with the "beauty" of this 'medicinal smoke'.

Since then, in addition to being sold on the third floor of the Shuangtian Gambling House, this 'A Hibiscus Cream' has also become an indispensable 'tribute medicine' around Yan Tian, and what is even more rare is that the scar man also put down his words to the prince who went to 'buy medicine': as long as it is the 'medicinal smoke' taken by the prince's grandfather, all the expenses will be counted on Nan Kangdi's head.

Since then, whenever Yan Tian is tired and sad, he has become accustomed to swallowing clouds and spitting fog; Now, he can even taste a hint of 'sweet and aromatic' from the eye ointment smell that he thought was 'unusually unpleasant' at first!

Yan Tian took a heavy breath of 'sweet' smoke and lowered his stomach, then closed his eyes comfortably, and the whole person fell into a state of chaos and nothingness......

"Your Majesty, the minion is back......"

The acting supervisor of the Imperial Horse Prison, the little fat man Liu Zhifengzhao entered the Winter Warm Pavilion. As soon as he stepped into the door, he shouted Your Majesty, bow down.

"Oh...... Supervisor Liu has returned to the court? How's this errand going? ”

Yan Tian opened half of his eyelids slightly and glanced at Liu Zhi, who was kneeling under the hall.

"Your Majesty, it's all done. At this time, Dongyou Road, as Li Gao, the elder of the Li family, said, this year's spring sowing did not go ahead as scheduled; All the land to be planted is waiting for His Majesty's will to act; In addition, the head of Li Le'an, the eldest lady of the Li family, was also personally examined; But ......."

"But how?"

"Since the body of the eldest lady of the Li family only has a head, and the face of the head has also been destroyed by thieves, the slave cannot determine whether this head is Miss Li herself. However, according to the dossier set up by Yin Li Zilin of the Great Wilderness City Mansion, there are countless corpses in the Li family's mansion, but each corpse is still the right number; Except for a few 'maidservants' brought back to the Great Wilderness City from Fengjing, the other corpses were all recorded by the government, and nothing was missing. ”

After listening to this, Yan Tian did not respond in a hurry, but took another deep breath of smoke, then closed his eyes again, lay sideways on the servant's lap, and asked leisurely:

"So...... The deceased must be Li Le'an, is there no doubt? But if it's really Cousin Le'an herself, why is it unrecognizable? ”

Yan Day's worries are not unreasonable! This scarred man killed more than 200 members of the Li Fuzong family overnight; But why did you only scratch Li Le'an's face? From the current point of view, this is obviously a clumsy plan by Li Daitao!

"Back to Your Majesty, the minions don't dare to speculate on this matter. But if you want to know why, you may have to ask the murderer himself......"

After Yan Tian heard Liu Zhi's response, he let out a 'uh-huh......' moan from his nostrils. I don't know if it's because of the power of the 'hibiscus ointment' into the brain, or because of the amazing elasticity of the maid's jade legs. However, this voice fell on Liu Zhi's ears, but he heard a little 'send-off' meaning.

"If Your Majesty has no other orders, the slave will retire ......"

"Don't be in a hurry...... I have something else to command...... In the few days you have been away from Beijing, there has always been some rumor in Fengjing. Liu Zhi, from your master, Supervisor Lu, this imperial horse supervisor is the right-hand man of your father; Now that our ancestors have passed away, we, the younger generations, should naturally follow the example of our ancestors and work together to ......."

"Slaves should follow the example of their ancestors and remove all obstacles for Your Majesty."

"I hope that you, the Imperial Horse Guard, will be able to find those who have been making waves in the shadows for some time now; Every day these people are not removed, and I will be troubled every day. After all, I only need to wait for the news from the Northern Yan side to come, and I will start preparing for the succession ceremony. Before that, I hope that Supervisor Liu and the Imperial Horse Supervisor under your command can completely calm down the atmosphere in Fengjing. ”

Liu Zhi, who had just returned to Fengjing and entered the palace on a mission, naturally didn't know what demonic wind had been blowing in Fengjing recently. But since Yan Tian said so, of course he could only nod his head.

So, as soon as Liu Zhi returned to the Imperial Horse Prison, he transferred all the recent files of the forage room to check them. I saw that the sky was completely dark, but there was still a small half of the file that had not been opened. Despite this, the acting supervisor Liu Zhi is also like falling into an ice cellar: In today's situation, where is it as frivolous as Yan Tian's mouth!

In Liu Zhi's view, the 'demon wind' blowing in Fengjing City now is definitely not a 'wind from nowhere'! Such a gradual trend and such a clear purpose are obviously not an accident or coincidence! Moreover, as Yan Tian said, these 'little things' nowadays are not necessarily related to each other at first glance, but in fact, this is clearly a big game of chess!

"Put old Joe ...... Hey......"

Liu Zhigang wanted to call Qiao Yuanan, the head of the inner room, to discuss, but as soon as the words came out of his lips, he remembered that Qiao Yuanan and Qiao Hai, together with his mentor Lu Xiangyin, died in the ambush that booby-trapped Shen Gui.

"Is Niu Lao still in the courtyard......

The 'old cow' in Liu Zhi's mouth was once the head of the forage room of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and at the same time, he was also the founder of the name 'forage room'. He was also the first to follow Lu Xiangyin and form the old team of the Imperial Horse Supervisor together. As early as when he entered the palace, this old cow had already entered the 'retirement life'. On weekdays, he basks in the sun in his own nursing home; Occasionally, I will cook and fry a few side dishes, and then invite my master over and the two brothers to have a few drinks together to reminisce about the old love.

Recently, because of Liu Banxian's 'birth', the loss of the room, inner room, and manpower in charge of the 'operation' in the Imperial Horse Prison is really tragic. The last time he ambushed Shen Guiyi, he was also on the spot with the heads of these two departments. And the forage room where the Imperial Horse Supervisor is responsible for 'collecting the wind' is also managed by himself after he worships under Lu Xiangyin's door.

Therefore, today's Imperial Horse Supervisor, except for him, the acting supervisor, the rest are some people who are working outside; All the 'middle-level leaders' have all died cleanly!

There is no way, and when there is really no one to use, Liu Zhi can only play the idea of this 'old-timer' of the imperial horse supervisor.

Liu Zhi called two little eunuchs, one holding a large stack of dossier records, the other carrying a delicate food box, and the three of them walked into the nursing home of 'Niu Lao' together.

This small courtyard, located in the southeast corner of the palace, was originally just a small warehouse for miscellaneous items. When Niu Lao 'retired', Lu Xiangyin transformed it into an exquisite courtyard for this old man to enjoy his old age.

"Have you eaten the cow? …… It's a lot of fun in the middle of the night! Are you old admiring the moon? Or feed the mosquitoes? Come on, come on, idle is idle, let's take a sip? ”

Lu Xiangyin walked into the courtyard and looked at the silver-haired old eunuch who was sitting in the courtyard, and shouted on his head.

"Old man Lu let people die, you, who are apprentices, are interested in coming to me to drink? Why can't I be interested in admiring the moon? ”

When the old man heard Liu Zhi's words, he didn't even look back, but still sat on the recliner and looked up at the starry sky.
