Chapter II. 277. The Wizard of Wonderland is hard to find
The words are divided into two ends, just talking about Li Gao, the great elder of the Li family who has completely collapsed, is already in a state of decadence, and now he has been forcibly assigned to the hard work of catching up with the car. Li Gao is now so old, but he has to drive the car with a whip, and his shoulders are extremely sore, not to mention, this carriage is still a bargain bought from a carpentry shop, and before he has gone far from sitting on the hard board, Li Gao feels that his tail keel is about to be twisted.
And the three 'enemies' sitting in the carriage are really too hearty. Forget if you don't tie up or tie up your 'loot', and leave yourself alone outside the carriage to catch the car, I don't know if they are too lazy to the extreme, or if they are really fearless.
Sure enough, young people are young people, even if their ability is greater, and their experience is inevitably shallow. Isn't it, early this morning, the four people who settled in the inn were just about to hit the road, and they found that a 'key person' was missing!
Of course, the one who is missing is definitely not the 'prey' Li Gao. All of this old man's 'divine power' was left in the Great Wilderness City; Now let alone sneaking away, even if he is really 'released' by Shen Gui, Li Gao will not dare to return to the territory of Dongyou Road. He has calculated other people's lives, how can he not understand what it means to 'kill people and kill people'? What's more, he is now penniless, and if he leaves the 'three enemies', he won't even be able to eat. After being escorted back to Fengjing City by them, what kind of fate will happen will not be mentioned for the time being; But the taste of hunger, just thinking about it, made him feel very uncomfortable.
After the three of them had breakfast, they sat in the lobby and waited for Liu Banxian to return. It wasn't until the third day of the day that the bored Shen Gui found a 'letter' written by Liu Banxian himself in the carriage.
It's a letter, but it's more like a note. Because on this piece of paper, there are only six big words written in total - something, go first.
This is the first time that Shen Gui has 'tasted' Liu Banxian's 'calligraphy attainments'. He never thought that Liu Banxian's handwriting was far from being as obscene and treacherous as his, but it was a little elegant, looking at the sun, and there was a faint aura that was beyond the paper and went straight to the sky.
Of course, Liu Banxian's days by his side are not short, presumably as a Heavenly Spirit Veiner, in addition to being a 'nanny' for himself, he must also have a 'higher pursuit'. It's only a matter of time before you part ways with yourself. This sudden separation, Shen Gui is not sad; The only thing that made him feel a little curious was that Liu Banxian encountered something urgent, and he didn't even have time to say hello to him, so he 'fled' overnight?
Liu Banxian has Liu Banxian's affairs, and Shen Gui and Li Le'an also have their own affairs. Even if there is one less Heavenly Spirit Veiner's 'Dart', Shen Gui is confident that he can safely escort Li Gao, the 'East Shadow Boss', back to Beijing. After all, after the journey of the past two days, Shen Gui has personally disposed of several batches of unknown 'killers'. However, the ability of these killers is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they should be on a par with those who are on an errand at the yamen.
This level of 'sneak attack and assassination' made Shen Gui embarrassed to fight back. Therefore, this long journey can really be called neither frightening nor dangerous; Except for the one who 'lost' a Heavenly Spirit Vein, it can be called extremely smooth.
Smoothly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Fengjing, after eating and drinking, and after grooming, Shen Gui held a bamboo stick for picking teeth, and held a small and delicate purple clay pot in his hand, and walked leisurely to the backyard wing where Wan Changning lived.
Since Wan Changning sat in a wheelchair, the 'functionality' of the Xiangfu study has been greatly weakened. Li Deng changed his way of life of liking to be alone in the past, often took some ancient book fragments, and then asked Li Fu to send some thin wine and side dishes, and the master and apprentice often read and drank in the wing room, discussing the past and the present.
And after Shen Gui and the three returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Gao, who was also full of food and drink, was also 'invited' into Wan Changning's wing.
"Brother Shen's bathing time has been a little longer, right? Let Wan wait......"
Shen Gui stretched out his hand to push open the door, and the first person who caught his eye was Wan Changning, who was turning his wheelchair and moving towards the bookshelf; And his future father-in-law, Li Deng, was sitting by the window, casually flipping through the account books, and whispering something to Li Gao, who was sitting opposite.
To this day, Shen Gui has never regretted cutting off Wan Changning's patella. But if you don't regret it, you won't regret it, and if you really meet someone, you will inevitably feel a little embarrassed.
"Huh...... The road was in a hurry, and the body inevitably felt tired, so when I was bathing in the room, I fell asleep unconsciously......"
In order to hide his embarrassment, Shen Gui walked around the back of Wan Changning's wheelchair while talking, holding the armrest and pushing him towards the bookshelf.
"It's just stopping here...... the sixth and seventh books on the left of the third floor; The first, fourth, and eleventh books on the right of the seventh floor... Not... Let's take down the twelfth book too......"
Wan Changning carefully inspected the bookshelves while directing Shen Gui to help pick up the books. Hearing this, Li Deng put down the account book in his hand, turned his head to look at the two teenagers bathed in the sunset, and smiled with warmth.
Wan Changning, who returned to the table, first opened his mouth to blow away the floating ash on the account book, and then put it in front of Li Gao, and said to him like a few treasures:
"These are the deeds of the acres of land registered by the ancestors of your family; The other four are the wealth that you have collected from all over the East Hidden Road after you established the 'Elder Autonomous Council'. Most of them are acres of land, land deeds, and open and dark stocks invested in various firms, etc.; And the last one is your Li Gao's guilty record over the years......"
Hearing this, Li Gao was neither sitting on pins and needles, nor did he have the slightest guilt on his face; Instead, he leaned back in the chair triumphantly, didn't look at Li Deng, raised his chin and said to Wan Changning:
"Doll, what have you learned from Li Deng for so long? What do you want to prove by putting these things before me? According to the old man, you just want to beat me with conclusive evidence and kill me again. This journey of displacement, the old man also figured it out; What is dead and alive, the old man has already seen it! These things you take out are made by the old man, or not by the old man, and the old man will recognize them all! You don't have to waste your efforts, just kill me quickly! Even if you don't kill me, since I have ruined the prince's business, can he still spare me? The left and right are dead, and the old man also wants to be hard before he dies! ”
Li Gao's sudden 'stiffening' performance was not only unexpected by Wan Changning, but even Shen Gui, who personally knocked him into the dust, felt that something was wrong.
"Brother Shi'an, what did you all give him? Is the bear-hearted leopard gall? In the Great Wilderness City, I watched this old boy deserve some kind of dead fish virtue; Why is it that now when you enter this Fengjing capital, you have 'swam'? ”
Wan Changning stroked the few strands of short hair that had grown up under his chin, and also said to Shen Guinian with confusion:
"In my opinion, the reliance and thoughts in his Li Gao's heart are all on the surface, and there shouldn't be anything missing! Now his 'new master' prince has become the most desperate ghost who wants to kill him to vent his anger; And by listening to the dark line that the prince put up, he was also beaten by you and fled; The acres of family property that he has scavenged over the years are all well-documented and can be checked; And his successor, his grandson Li Sanlin, is now also locked in the prison of the Great Wilderness City Government by Senior Brother Zilin...... Obviously he has reached the point of exhaustion, why is he still so proud? Could it be ...... He thinks that the ghost in the prime minister's mansion who is monitoring his teacher has not yet appeared, so he still has a glimmer of hope? ”
Li Deng sat by the window indifferently, watching the confrontation between the old and the young without saying a word; And Shen Gui's eyes rolled when he heard this, and then he laughed with a relaxed expression:
"Hey, guess it's all in vain, we've already caught everyone, just ask him if he doesn't get it......"
After finishing speaking, Shen Gui stood up and walked out the door. It didn't take long for him to walk back to the door of the wing. This time, Li Fu came with him, and there were three prime ministers' family members behind him.
Shen Gui did not step into the house, but completely opened the two doors of the wing room, so that the three people in the room could see the 'beautiful scenery' in the courtyard.
Shen Gui stretched out his hand and first dragged a short man who was about forty years old, pulled out the Spring Rain Sword at his waist with his left hand, and unconsciously flipped up and down while holding the sword flower, while staring at Li Gao in the room and said:
"This is from the Prime Minister's Mansion...... Forehead ......"
"Groom!" The chief housekeeper Li Fu made up half a sentence in a timely manner.
"Yes, groom! Only he knows where the Prime Minister went, who he met with, and when he would return. Is this the hope in your old man's heart? ”
Li Gao first turned his head and glanced at the groom with a pale face and a body like chaff, and then let out a cold snort contemptuously.
'Whoa......'
Before the groom could cry out for mercy, the blade of the Spring Rain Sword quickly swept around his neck. Immediately, the 'suspect' was like a hen whose throat had been cut and bled out, clutching his neck and convulsing and rolling on the ground......
Shen Guiyi shook the blood beads on the sword, and before the horseman could swallow his breath, he stretched out his hand and dragged a young man:
"What about this? Shen looked at this brother's appearance very well. Uncle Fu, what kind of errands is this brother in charge of in the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"He's ...... It should be Mr. Treasurer in the house, right? The private account at home can't be troubled by Shi'an, the old man and I'm getting older, and my eyes are starting to fly mosquitoes, which is really easy to make mistakes......"
"You're literate...... It's a pity...... How's it going, Li Gao? Is it him? It's not easy to find a handsome poster who knows words on Youbei 3rd Road, I advise you to accumulate more virtue and repair it before you die! ”
When Li Gao heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"People are not killed by the old man, why should they be counted on the old man's head? This is a family affair of your Prime Minister's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the old man, if you like to kill, it doesn't hurt to kill a few more! ”
