The father and son of the enemy family turned their heads quickly, and they didn't need Lan Ziyi to say more to understand Lan Ziyi's thoughts. Lan Ziyi nodded gratefully to the father and son, and then watched Li Chenghai's servants lead the father and son of the enemy family into the side room. Then Lan Ziyi looked back at Yueshanjian, and Yueshanjian bowed slightly to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou, let's go in together."

Lan Ziyi nodded, and after the servant of the Li Mansion who was guarding the door opened the door for Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi walked into the house with Yue'er holding his head high.

The weather in the capital has been sunny since the Qixi Festival, and today is a sunny day, it stands to reason that the indoor will not be dark in such weather, but Lan Ziyi stepped into the house but did not immediately adapt to the drastic changes in light. After blinking hard a few times, Lan Ziyi finally saw the layout of the house clearly, and then found out that the reason for the dimness in the house was that all the doors and windows in the small bedroom were tightly closed, not only closed, but also hung with gauze curtains, which was not strange in the house.

In July, the doors and windows are all closed, this kind of room should be extremely hot, but Lan Ziyi didn't feel the heat after entering the house, but felt a coolness, with the incense steaming up the house, such a closed small room actually had a sense of tranquility.

After Lan Ziyi and Yue'er entered the door, the door behind them was closed, and none of the servants outside the door followed. Lan Ziyi looked into the room again after his eyes adjusted to the light, but saw Li Chenghai lying on the chair instead of lying down. The chair was similar to the rocking chair in Lan Ziyi's house, and people could lie on it or sit on it, and Lan Ziyi knew how comfortable such a chair was.

However, Li Chenghai lying on the chair was not as limited as Lan Ziyi, who was recuperating at home a few days ago, Li Chenghai, who was sitting in front of Lan Ziyi, had a dull gaze, an old age, his mouth was closed one by one, saliva flowed out of his mouth along the corners of his mouth, and even the collar was wet. Fortunately, Li Chenghai was still sitting next to the chair, thinking that she was an old woman, wiping the corners of Li Chenghai's mouth with a handkerchief, otherwise Li Chenghai would look even more embarrassed than now. Presumably, it was the old woman who had been talking just now.

Lan Ziyi looked at Li Chenghai's appearance, and scolded in his heart, he was just pretending to be asleep in the cabinet, but he actually pretended to be King Sima Xuan at home, and this play was too fake. However, Lan Ziyi still looked at Li Chenghai respectfully, and this time Lan Ziyi looked down and found that the earthen chamber crypt opened in front of Li Chenghai's feet, no wonder the house was so cool.

Seeing Lan Ziyi's actions, Li Chenghai, who was lying on the chair, seemed to have some look in his eyes, and the old woman who was waiting on the side replied for Li Chenghai:

"My lord pretended to be rude to see Wei Hou today, Wei Hou doesn't have to be polite."

Lan Ziyi straightened up when he heard this, he clenched his fists and asked the old woman:

"Dare to ask if you always ......"

When the old woman heard this, she said:

"The old body is the main room of the middle hall, so I am waiting for the adults again."

As soon as Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly looked at the old woman again, and he said:

"It turned out to be Mrs. Li, Ziyi was offended"

The old woman nodded when she heard this, stretched out her hand and pointed to the stool opposite Li Chenghai and said:

"Wei Hou, please take a seat."

Lan Ziyi immediately took a seat, and Yue'er stood respectfully behind Lan Ziyi.

The old woman has been observing Yue'er with her eyes since Yue'er entered the house, and now after getting closer, the old woman has observed more carefully. Lan Ziyi was afraid that this Mrs. Li would see the clue and ask, so she took the lead and asked:

"When I met Li Zhongtang in the cabinet before, Li Zhongtang was still quite energetic, why did he return home...... What did it look like? ”

Lan Ziyi looked at Li Chenghai as he spoke, and there was contempt in his eyes.

Mrs. Li withdrew her eyes after Lan Ziyi spoke, continued to serve Li Chenghai, and replied:

"Wei Hou doesn't know, my lord has always been in poor health, and in the past, he only worked hard to support himself in the cabinet, and then added medicine to recuperate, so that he could handle official business. Since the incident of the demon thief, the affairs of the DPRK and China have been complicated, and the lord has worked overtime every day, working official duties, and he has not even had time to go home to recuperate. After suppressing the demon thief, he had to reward the soldiers, distribute money and food, and coupled with today's natural disaster, his body finally collapsed. ”

Lan Ziyi pretended to be sorry and said:

"Poor Lord Li, the pillar of the court, is actually tired of this appearance, it can really be said that he has done his best, and he has died. With such hard work, Ziyi was determined to become a scholar in the imperial court and asked for praise for Li Zhongtang. ”

Mrs. Li thanked her when she heard this:

"The old man has thanked Wei Hou for the master."

The polite words on both sides are enough here, and the next step is to talk about business. It's just that Li Chenghai's appearance is clearly planning to respond to all changes with the same, waiting for Lan Ziyi to show his hole cards, open the price code, and pretend to be crazy and stupid to get all the benefits. Li Chenghai's routine Lan Ziyi naturally saw it clearly, if the father and son of the enemy family were present, let the father and son bargain, Lan Ziyi would sit behind and watch, and it would not be impossible to play with this old guy.

But now Lan Ziyi entered the room alone, if he opened his mouth to bargain, it would be to take the initiative to ask Li Chenghai, and if he took the initiative to ask someone, he had already lost a move before he made a move, and the subsequent conversation would be subject to this Li Chenghai who pretended to be sick everywhere, which was too passive. Although Yue'er can also speak for Lan Ziyi, she has come to Lan Ziyi's side for too short, the tacit understanding between the two is not enough, and her eldest lady's temper really wants to speak, and the possibility of the conversation breaking down is very high, plus Yue'er's female dress as a man is also a variable, so Lan Ziyi does not plan to let Yue'er stand in front.

Before entering the door just now, Li Chenghai had been playing tricks to force Lan Ziyi's majesty and cut off Lan Ziyi's wings, and now when he arrived in the house, Lan Ziyi could only fight with Li Chenghai in person. But this is not to say that Lan Ziyi has no way to get back the first move, Lan Ziyi has been thinking about how to break the game today for a long time just now, and by this time Lan Ziyi has almost planned. I saw Lan Ziyi smile slightly and said:

"Dare to ask Mrs. Li, when did Lord Zhongtang fall ill?"

Mrs. Lee replied:

"That's what happened in the past few days."

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Does the court know about this?"

Mrs. Li said:

"I'll send someone to the cabinet for a few days of leave for my lord."

Lan Ziyi nodded and said, "That's good, that's good." Then Lan Ziyi turned his words, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Li Chenghai like an eagle harrier:

Li Zhongtang worked hard all his life for the court, and he worked so hard that he was paralyzed, and Ziyi saw it and his heart ached. Today, since he has seen the illness of Lord Zhongtang, Ziyi has never let go of Zhongtang's reasoning. I have already thought about it, I will write to the emperor when I return home today, and ask the emperor to allow Lord Zhongtang to take the position of prince and teacher, and return to his hometown, so that Lord Zhongtang can live for a long time, and Ziyi can be regarded as a good thing, and there is no regret in Zhongtang's heart. ”

Yue'er, who was standing behind Lan Ziyi, smiled at the corner of her mouth when she heard this, obviously understanding Lan Ziyi's words.

Now that the ball has been kicked to Li Chenghai, Lan Ziyi wants to see how Li Chenghai receives the ball. It's just that Li Zhongtang, who was lying on the chair, was still lying half-dead on the chair, and Mrs. Li, who was sitting on the side, didn't look a little surprised, so Mrs. Li just said:

"My lord is like this, I have long advised him to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and the old man has also written to the emperor several times, but he has been forced by the emperor to leave. If Wei Hou can ask the emperor for mercy, it will really be a great favor to the master, and the old man will thank Wei Hou here. ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly. This Mrs. Li's mouth is indeed hard enough, but Lan Ziyi will not be frightened by her bluff like this, Lan Ziyi intends to take another step forward, so he got up and arched his hand:

"In that case, I went back to writing the recital. Lord Zhongtang's illness could not be disturbed, Ziyi had already come to visit, so there was no reason to continue to disturb, and Ziyi took his leave. ”

After saying that, Lan Ziyi turned around and walked towards the door, while his ears kept listening to Li Chenghai, just waiting for the opposite movement.

Sure enough, at the moment when Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to push the door, Li Chenghai couldn't sit still, he raised his hand and waved it at Mrs. Li a few times, babbling in his mouth. After receiving the instructions, Mrs. Li got up slowly, she walked to the door and said to Lan Ziyi:

"The old man went to fetch some honey water for the old man, can you ask Wei Hou to take care of the middle hall for the old man temporarily?"
