He was about twenty-six or seventeen years old, of medium to high height, with an unusually thick body, a round face and big eyes, and a shrewd and capable man. He said to the old bustard, "Is Yilian here?" ”

Yilian is the red card of Baihualou, and her appearance is outstanding, and Wang Kemin likes her very much.

The old bustard said, "Yes, but ......."

Wang Kemin, as an anti-thief envoy in Weinan City, usually has some gray income, but he has two hobbies of bad money, one is gambling, and the other is to come to Qinglou. As a result, he often felt strapped for money. When you come to Qinglou, sometimes you will give less money or no money. Neither the bustard nor the girls liked such a guest, and though they did not dare to offend him, the girls would not receive him on the pretext that they were unwell.

Wang Kemin smiled: "Isn't it just money?" Sir, I have. So saying, he took out a money bag from his bosom, took out a few Persian silver coins, and said, "Here you go." ”

The old bustard smiled and said, "Oh, Lord Wang has made a fortune, congratulations." After saying that, she said to a girl, "Go and call Yilian, and let her serve Lord Wang well." ”

Wang Kemin rushed up to the second floor and saw Yi Lian greeting him with a smile.

Wang Kemin spent a lot of money and stayed in Yilian's show room today as he wished, and the two were drinking and chatting at this time.

Since the afternoon today, the sky has been overcast, and before nine o'clock in the evening, the night has already shrouded Weinan City. A dark shadow crept up to the roof above the Yilian show, close to the window and listened.

At this time, it was already summer, and the weather in Weinan was starting to heat up, and the windows were open with large gaps, and although the conversation inside was not loud, it was clearly heard.

Wang Kemin himself is an old catcher, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and his vigilance is very high, but the person on the roof is even more superior, and his actions are as silent as a cat, Wang Kemin is not aware at all.

The person on the roof is Gao Henian. Regarding Li Tai's assassination, Li You can only guess, and he is not sure that it was Zhu Wei's brother Wang Kemin. For the message provided by Yin Guanghao, it also needs to be verified. Gao Henian's first task was to find out Wang Kemin's situation.

Wang Kemin himself is a criminal investigator, and he is very vigilant and will not reveal his secrets. When he was chatting with Yi Lian, although he had drunk, he didn't say anything worthwhile.

Gao Henian listened for a long time, but he didn't get any useful information, and when he heard that people were going to bed, he was ready to leave.

Suddenly, he heard Yi Lian say, "My lord, you once said that you wanted to redeem me, is it true?" ”

Wang Kemin said: "Yilian, I really like you. I didn't have that ability before, but now it's different. Not only do I have money, but I also got acquainted with the big people in the capital, and it is certain that I will soar in the future. After a while, I will redeem you. ”

"Really, that's great." Yi Lian said.

……

Gao Henian got the most important information, and he can now be sure that the assassination of Li Tai was done by Wang Kemin. Gao Henian did not act rashly, he quietly left Baihualou and went to report to Li You.

The next day, Li You received a message from the flying pigeon, and his heart was also steady.

Liangyi Palace, study.

"Son-in-law, see father." Li You saluted and said.

"Li You, why are you back?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Li You smiled and said, "Father, the son missed you, so he came back." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You kid is poor, come, sit down and say." ”

Li You reported to Li Shimin on the situation of the open sea fleet and the ocean-going fleet, and finally reported on Sun Simiao's compilation of the "Thousand Golden Prescriptions" and his opinions on this matter.

Li Shimin said with emotion: "Sun Simiao is worthy of being a fairy-like character, with high moral character, which is heartbreaking." You are doing the right thing, the court can't accept Sun Simiao's heart for free, and you must give a heavy reward. ”

He asked, "Do you have anything else to do when you come back this time?" Li Shimin was suspicious of Li You's sudden return.

Li You said honestly: "The main reason is for the prince's brother. ”

When Li Chengqian was mentioned, Li Shimin was dissatisfied. He said: "Cheng Qian, this person is really too fragile. What does it mean to have a sick foot? Throughout the ages, people with disabilities and strong wills such as Sun Bin and those who want to leave abound, haven't people still made an earth-shattering event?

He's good, he's disgraced all day long, and he doesn't have any energy. Recently, it has been even more outrageous, and he actually said that he was sick and couldn't go to court. I'm really. ”

Li You saw that Li Shimin was angry, and originally wanted to persuade him to treat Li Chengqian well, so he had to stop saying it for the time being. He said, "Father is right, the minister will go to see him in a while." The retainer will tell him what you want. ”

Li Shimin really trusted Li You, and he did not reproach Li You for returning to Chang'an when the affairs in Yangzhou were not completed. said to him: "You have been away from Chang'an for a long time, go and visit your mother first." ”

"Thank you, Father. Erchen first went to visit the prince's brother, and then went to visit the concubine in the afternoon. Li You said.

Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's okay, you can talk about him for me, and you have to cheer up." ”

Soon after, the East Palace.

"Fifth brother, you're back." Seeing Li You, Li Chengqian was very happy, and there was a trace of blood on his pale face.

Li You said: "Big brother, Mr. Sun Simiao will come to Chang'an in a few days, and he has come to show you his feet." ”

"Ah, that's great." Li Chengqian's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Li You didn't say a word of persuasion to Li Chengqian, because what he needed now was not reproach and empty consolation, but real concern.

Li Chengqian said worriedly: "Fifth brother, Li Tai stays in Chang'an and doesn't leave, and there will be a miasma in the court." My father is still partial to him, what can I do?

Also, Li Tai was assassinated and injured, and there was a lot of rumors in Chang'an City, saying that I instructed someone to do it, who should I explain it to. ”

He said: "Big brother, you don't have to take Li Tai's matter to heart. It's not that I underestimate him, what else can he do except get some intrigues that can't be put on the table? ”

Li Chengqian asked, "What can you do?" ”

Li You smiled: "Since he is shameless, we don't need to leave him any more leeway." ”

Li Chengqian asked excitedly, "What, do you already have a way?" ”

Li You smiled: "What a little bit of a problem, big brother, let me tell you......"

"Huh? Are you sure? This Li Tai is too shameless. Li Chengqian said in surprise.

Li You smiled: "That's all he has to offer." Okay, let's not talk about him, I won't leave at noon, if there is anything delicious, take it out. ”

Li Chengqian's spirit recovered, and he smiled: "Don't say it, the level of my chef here has made great progress now......

The next morning, Li Chengqian appeared in good spirits, although he was still limping when he walked, but he greeted everyone generously as if nothing had happened.

Li Shimin secretly wondered, he didn't know what Li You told him, and in a blink of an eye, Li Chengqian seemed to be a different person.

Lizheng Palace.

Empress Eldest Sun asked curiously: "Brother, Cheng Qian's spirit has suddenly improved, and our hard persuasion will not work, and I don't know how Li You did it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with emotion: "Sister, His Royal Highness King Qi has traveled thousands of miles from Yangzhou for His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention anything else, his friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is touching." ”

Empress Eldest Sun said: "Li You, this kid is benevolent and righteous. Brother, call Cheng Qian over, let's ask him......"
