No matter how senior this old eunuch is, he is really good enough to poke people's lungs when he speaks. Liu Zhi originally came to ask for advice with a sincere heart, but he didn't expect that his hot face was directly attached to other people's cold butts.

However, between the old and the young, there is actually no friendship. After all, after Liu Zhi entered the palace, the old eunuch Niu had already stepped down from the imperial horse eunuch to retire; On weekdays, even if he invited Lu Xiangyin to drink and catch up, the supervisor would go alone. So strictly speaking, he and this old eunuch Niu have only met a handful of times, let alone have no friendship and face.

"Father-in-law Niu, the blood feud of the family has not been avenged so far, and the younger generations will never dare to forget it. However, after all, the enemy family is a Heavenly Spirit Veiner, and Liu Zhi does not have this ability to ......... for the time being."

"No matter how stupid a young person is, he should at least know how to be modest! Since your current killer is a Heavenly Spirit Veiner, then you don't have to mention the word 'temporary'! What's wrong? For another ten or twenty years, if you consume him alive, you will get your revenge? Of course, Lao Niu doesn't mean that you really have no hope of revenge...... In the next life, if you can be reincarnated as a Heavenly Spirit Veiner, you may be able to catch up with the enemy who is still alive......"

Hearing this, Liu Zhizhen really wanted to splash all the wine and food brought in the food box on this old eunuch Niu. I don't know how the master held back his anger when he chatted with him about the old days of a bad old man who spoke so unpleasantly.

When Liu Zhi thought of this, he turned around, but only saw a square food box on the ground, and a stack of files half a person high; And the two little eunuchs who came with him have already run away without a trace!

"Put the food and drinks on the table...... I'm old, and it's easy to hurt my stomach when I eat cold......"

The old eunuch Niu seemed to see through the dilemma in Liu Zhi's heart, and casually pointed to the stone table, looking at Liu Zhi who was in a dilemma playfully.

This meal must be very boring. During the banquet, the old and the young did not even touch the wine cup once, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing. In the end, Liu Zhi, who was still younger, was the first to lose his breath, pointed to the file at his feet, and asked in a slightly tentative tone:

"Senior Niu, when I came here today, there are some things that I don't think are quite right; But the young man is young and inexperienced, and he has just taken over the important task of taking charge of the Imperial Horse Warden, and he really can't figure out a clue for a while......"

"I won't read your file. Lao Niu is now dizzy and blind, and the words must be unclear. However, this is not clear, and there are also advantages to not being able to see clearly. Whether it is you, your master, or even the current little emperor, you should have misseen one thing, and you should have misseen one person. If you have something you don't understand, start thinking about that person, and there is a chance that you will not be wrong! ”

"Oh? Dare to ask my seniors, who am I waiting for? ”

"Lee Deng ......"

Liu Zhi thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that the old eunuch Niu would say the word 'Li Deng' in his mouth. This is because since the beginning of the War between the two Norths, Li Deng has already claimed that he is ill and has rarely taken a step out of the palace in recent days. Although all the people of Youbei know in their hearts that Li Deng's body must be very healthy; But he was born in a family of businessmen, and his consistent code of conduct is that he will never act rashly until he has a clear understanding of the situation; According to his behavior and habits in the past, under the chaotic situation in Youbei that no one can judge, it is reasonable for Li Deng to choose to call himself sick and stay out of the matter.

And Liu Zhi also knew in his heart that the crown prince Yan Tian secretly plotted against Li Deng's ancestral business, and also sent a Nankang killer to secretly 'stab' Li Le'an, the only beloved daughter under Li Deng's knees; Even the subordinates who went out of the house to buy money already had a white belt hanging around their waists.

But now, the ancestor of the forage house didn't even look at the file, so he directly pointed the finger at Prime Minister Li Cheng, who was still immersed in the 'pain of losing his daughter'......

"Dare to ask the old ancestor, where did we see Li Xiang wrong?"

"What's wrong? Hehe, you haven't seen it right! This young master of the Li family, although he was born in a merchant family since he was a child, has a low status and does not have a well-known family education; But when he was twelve years old, he set off from the Great Wilderness City alone, rode a donkey, and spent a full twenty years traveling the entire Huayu Continent. Today, as long as you go out of the gate of the East Customs and mention the three words 'Li Qiyuan', who is not full of admiration? Think about what you people were doing when you were twelve? Want to fight him? You spend the next twenty years traveling, and when you get to his place, then talk about the rest! ”

When Liu Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his heart. Li Deng's background and experience have long been told by the court, civil and military and the common people, and it is not a secret at all. But now this old-timer mentions Li Deng, and he still has the respect of throwing himself to the ground. Judging from the perspective of judging the situation alone, it is inevitable that there is a taste of 'carving a boat for a sword, thick ancient and thin'.

"Ancestor, Prime Minister Li Cheng has a great talent in his chest, and he has already spread all over the Huayu Continent, who dares to underestimate that Qi Yuangong? But I'm here to ask you for advice today......"

"Needless to say, today I also said so much to you because of the thin face of the dead old ghost Lu. The key to solving your problems lies with Li Deng. If you still don't understand, I can't tell you more......"

Touching Liu Zhi, who had a gray nose, he couldn't help muttering the word Li Deng in his heart, and returned to the Imperial Horse Prison dejectedly. Now, he sat on his master's chair, looking at the backlog of records on the table, and said to himself inexplicably:

"Li Deng, Li Deng...... Miss Li is now dead, don't you end up as a lonely person like Guo Yunsong...... After being robbed of the ancestral property by the crown prince, the entire Dongyou Road will definitely be uprooted. At that time, it will be difficult for you to even keep a life for the elderly, what storms can you stir up? ”

Indeed, as Liu Zhi said, Guo Yunsong, the king of Zhongshan, was able to leave an old life after seizing the title and dismissing the office, all because there was still him, the king of Dongyou, Li Deng, in the court at that time; Whether Yan Hunt is killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys; It doesn't matter if the Li and Guo families are cold in their lips and teeth, Yan Hunt at that time didn't dare or reason to take Guo Yunsong's old life; But now Guo Yunsong has fled to Nankang, and if Li Deng falls again, the entire Youbei Third Road will completely fall into the control of the Yan family.

At that time, what reason did Yan Tian have to leave this useless person's life behind?

Moreover, even if the unrecognizable head is not Li Le'an's own, the Li family's 'backyard' is also not reliable at this time. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the little fire in the dark night will turn into a raging fire.

The so-called 'elders' next to the Li family, whose ancestors have been farmers who have been digging and eating from the soil for generations, have never walked out of the gate of Dongyou Road in their lives, what kind of insight can they have? Although Yan Tian is still quite immature compared to Li Deng, if he is placed with these hillbillies who were born as farmers, the pattern is obviously thousands of miles away.

Yan Tian only needs to throw out some benefits first, so that the Li family will mess up; After that, they can wait for their sect and branch to fight out a lose-lose situation. Whether it is the prime minister's cunning or the Li family's side family who successfully overthrew Li Deng, the result does not matter.

As long as the East Secluded Road is no longer a monolith, but only a small crack is opened, Yan Tian can completely cut them apart with gold and silver.

According to the inference of the Imperial Horse Supervisor himself, the recent undercurrents in Fengjing City were all planned by Shen Gui and that Liu Banxian; Now coupled with Prime Minister Li Deng, who is extremely feared by the ancestors of Niu, could it be that the real masterminds behind the scenes are the three of them?

Li Deng, who is about to become a source of water, is not to worry at all; But that Shen Gui and the Heavenly Spirit Vein beside him are very tricky, even his master Lu Xiangyin died at the hands of others, what can he do as an apprentice?

In the end, Liu Zhi still stubbornly continued to look through the remaining files. He wanted to find a clue in the mess of records that he could use for himself. It wasn't until the early morning of the second day, when the sun was just showing a glimmer of light, that Liu Zhi finally found out the key 'clue'.

And this 'clue' that he worked so hard to find was the 'folk legend' that was personally sealed by the queen's mother Li Lian a few days ago.

On the surface, this vulgar story about the 'turmoil of the wealthy family' seems to be nothing more than a pastime for people to talk about after dinner, but in the current chaotic situation in Fengjing, it obviously means something else. Presumably, the queen also thought of this almost explicit 'metaphor', which is why she issued the order to seal her mouth......

However, with this gag order, doesn't it confirm this vulgar story, and it has something to do with its Youbei Yan family? Moreover, even if your Yan family can order the job of the storyteller to be sealed, it will definitely not be able to block the mouths of the people in this city. Could it be that you can still put all the people who talk about this story in private in Fengjing Mansion in prison?

What's more, at this moment, in the eyes of the people of Youbei, the crown prince Yan Tian has already been convicted of many crimes of 'provoking the war between the two norths first, and 'killing his mother and stabbing his brother' later. And how is such a prince qualified to inherit the emperor's throne?

Moreover, these 'rumors' and 'active interpretation rights' are still in the hands of the biggest 'victim', Yan Qinghong; if Yan Tian wants to succeed to the throne smoothly, not only will he not be able to 'kill people and kill his mouth', but he must also wholeheartedly protect the life safety of his second brother.

Otherwise, before he successfully ascended the throne, even if Yan Qinghong went out and fell on his heels, it must have been done by his 'rebellious brother'!

And Yan Qinghong, the second prince on the cusp of the storm, where is he now? Is it dead or alive? I'm afraid no one can say for sure. Even if the Imperial Horse Supervisor had so many eyes and ears, he could only 'guess' that he was still living in seclusion in the Shen Gui Mansion. In other words, before Yan Qinghong, the 'victim', came forward to defend his brother. Yan Tian will inevitably be burdened with extremely heavy pressure from public opinion.

Yan Tian went further, but he achieved his goal after killing people and destroying his mouth; Yan Tian took a step back, but he pretended to be a ghost in his heart.

Liu Zhi thought of this, looked back again, and found that the solution to this dead end fell on Li Deng, just as the old eunuch Niu said.
