Chapter 707: An Unexpected Visitor

In the open space outside the gate of the Li family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ten camphor wood boxes are lined up, and the lid of the box has been opened by the Li family, and the contents of the box are very rich.

The six boxes were full of money, not the ordinary "Kaiyuan Tongbao", but the silver cakes cast by the East City Treasury, each cake was twenty taels, full of six large boxes, how much was the specific value, Li Su didn't dare to calculate carefully.

The remaining four large chests contained two of them filled with precious stones, pearls, agate and cat's eyes, and the other two chests contained valuable gold nuggets and whole ivory rhino horns, as well as many precious and rare tonics.

Ten large boxes were placed in front of Li Su, shining with golden light, shining with blind dog eyes.

Li Su's heartbeat increased in vain, and it was a normal reaction. Anyone who sees these ten big boxes will have their hearts beat faster, not to mention that Li Su is more greedy for money than anyone else, these ten boxes are undoubtedly a great temptation for him.

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. These ten boxes were consciously sent to the door by others, of course, it is considered "there is a way", do not steal, do not rob, do not cheat, a windfall fell from the sky, a rough estimate, only these ten boxes, about equivalent to the total GDP of the Li family for three years.

However, the reason for Li Su's rapid heartbeat at this moment was by no means a windfall, but a very ominous premonition in his mind, which he strongly felt...... Here's the trouble.

Money has always been Li Su's favorite thing, copper money, silver cakes, gems, all forms of money he likes, and has done a lot of undisciplined things for it, but the ownerless money Li Su does not dare to like, sometimes the nature of the windfall and the sky is almost the same, when there is a windfall inexplicably smashed on his head, then this person is probably not far from bad luck.

Therefore, when Li Su saw the windfall in front of him, the feeling in his heart was not joy, but the alarm bells.

He couldn't swallow something of unknown origin, and he didn't dare to swallow it, for fear of choking to death.

"What about the giver?" Li Su turned his head to look at Steward Xue.

Steward Xue's fat old face was full of doubts, and he shook his head and said: "The department at the door said that a total of more than 20 people were riding horses, and they were driving a carriage, and the carriage stopped at the door of our house and unloaded the box, and only explained a sentence of 'giving gifts on the orders of the lord', and the department on duty in front of the door chased after him and asked, and people also said that it was inconvenient to tell each other, saying that it was the Hou Ye who would know in the future, they left the box at the door and left, and they didn't even want the carriage, and the tribe did not give up, chased all the way down, chased it to the entrance of the village, and chased it away, and the people rode fast and ran fast, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye......"

Li Su twisted his eyebrows, glanced at the carriage not far from the door, and said, "Have the boxes and carriages been checked?" Is there a mark on it that can be used to show identity? ”

Steward Xue shook his head and said, "Fang Lao Wu looked at it carefully for a long time, and he didn't find any marks, they were ordinary people's objects...... Master Hou, this gift is quite strange, how can there be a sneaky gift in the world, there is no rule. ”

Li Su nodded and said, "Let's move the things into the warehouse first, it is estimated that it won't be long before someone will come out." ”

Steward Xue sighed and shouted loudly for the next person to move the box.

Li Su rubbed his stiff cheeks and sighed.

God is destined not to let him be too comfortable, trouble after trouble, and it seems that there will be trouble coming to the door soon.

*********************************************************************

For the first time in his life, he was so unhappy to receive a gift, Li Su felt that the whole person was not good, it was obviously a windfall of great value, but there was a kind of anxiety in his heart as if someone had sent a blade.

The boxes were sent into the storeroom and left untouched. In the next four days, the mysterious gift giver still had no news, and he didn't mean to show up, and even Li Su almost thought that the courier had sent the wrong address, allowing him to take advantage of it in vain.

I asked Wang Zhi to inquire in Chang'an City, but there was still no valuable clue, after all, there was such a thing as gift-giving, no matter which high-ranking family would not beat gongs and drums to publicize it everywhere, and it sounded very difficult.

There is no result to guess. Li Su first suspected Li Tai, the king of Wei, after Li Chengqian was deposed, Li Shimin never mentioned the matter of setting up a new prince, courtiers such as the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Kong Yingda, etc., estimated that Li Shimin was indeed heartbroken, so he also had a tacit understanding that he did not go up and advise, but although the prince was not established, but the fact that Li Tai, the king of Wei, was more and more favored was the fact that the government and the opposition were almost all in agreement, and the next prince of the Tang Dynasty was none other than the King of Wei, and now it was just a formal canonization edict.

The government and the opposition view so, Wei King Li Tai himself is naturally more indispensable, he also feels that the prince belongs to him, so the Wei Wangfu since the prince's rebellion and pacification, ushered in the peak period of visitors, no matter which camp he stood in before, no matter what kind of political position he used to be, now the prince has fallen, and the King of Wei is almost the only candidate for the prince.

Whether it is to welcome or re-stand in line, countless courtiers did not hesitate to throw themselves into the broad and fat arms of Li Tai, the king of Wei, but Li Su was indifferent, more than a month has passed since the rebellion was quelled, Li Su now doubts that the king of Wei is impatient, so he threw out a generous gift, and then Xiaozhi took him into the middle of the group with reason and emotion, forcing him to stand in line?

With King Wei's current high-spirited state, it is very likely that this generous gift was given by him, and his intention is naturally self-evident, he needs Li Su's helper to help him make suggestions and completely sit in the position of the prince of the East Palace.

Thinking about it, the more Li Su thought about it, the more it made sense, and even hesitated whether he should visit in person, tentatively asking if the box was sent by him, and then thinking about it, he shouldn't take the initiative to open his mouth about this matter, once he takes the initiative to open his mouth, it will inevitably fall behind, and it is more appropriate for him to take the initiative to find it.

…………

After a day of wandering around Chang'an City, Li Su returned home and felt much more at ease.

The next day, a guest came to Li's house, and this unexpected guest overturned all Li Su's speculations, making Li Su start to wonder if his IQ should pay for the recharge.

The guest who came was not Li Tai, the king of Wei, but an elder who had met but never had a deep friendship, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

After hearing the housekeeper's report, Li Su was startled, and his first reaction was to immediately look at the father next to him, but the father did not react, and still looked like a wooden and honest person, Li Su couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

After Li Chengqian's rebellion was put down, Li Su privately guessed the identity of his father countless times, and the most obvious clue was his father's name, which happened to be among the powerful people in the court today, the name of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and his father was only one word different, and he was naturally included in the list of highly suspicious people by Li Su, he always thought that his father might have something to do with the king of Jiangxia, but seeing his father's unchanged expression today, Li Su knew that he had guessed wrong, and there should be no intersection between the two.

Of course, King Jiangxia is the prince, he is Li Shimin's cousin, four years younger than Li Shimin, and can be described as the same clan and clan, siblings. The style of the Li Tang royal family has always been fierce, once involved in the struggle for the throne, often fathers, sons and brothers kill each other, killing each other earth-shatteringly, suspicious of each other, and giving full play to the characteristics of the ruthless imperial family.

Only this Jiangxia King Li Daozong is an exception, whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, they all have unusual trust in this son of the same sect, and Li Daozong has been reused by two generations of emperors in the Tang Dynasty.

can make the three views shattered and the two generations of emperors with dark hearts trust and reuse at the same time, from this point of view, it is certain that Li Daozong is an extremely smart person, and it can also be said that he is the person who lives the most clearly.

Li Su has been in the Chang'an court for many years, and he is naturally no stranger to the king of Jiangxia, and they have also met many times at the banquet of a certain powerful family, chatted, toasted, and talked about the beauties of Chang'an City, leaving a good impression on each other, not deep friendships, but also mutual appreciation.

The friendship that was as plain as water, but today he came to visit as an elder, Li Su was full of suspicion, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed Li Daozong into his home in person.

Li Daozong came very low-key, only brought a dozen or so entourage, and came in a light car, after stepping into the front hall of the Li family, Li Daozong first smiled at Li Daozheng, who was standing outside the hall to greet guests, Li Daozheng smiled back with a little restraint, and the two looked at each other...... Wood has any spark, and wood has any foundation.

Li Su shook his head in disappointment.

It seems that the two really have nothing to do with each other, they are not brothers or old friends, and Li Su had to remove Li Daozong from the list of high suspicions. (To be continued.) )
