Chapter 642: The Truth Revealed
Li Tai, the king of Wei, undoubtedly belongs to the kind of person who is very good at chatting, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he accurately grabbed Li Su's cool point. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
These days, Li Su is so busy jumping up and down, frequently going in and out of the elders' mansions, being dazed and still not afraid of death, Wang Zhi mobilized his subordinates to wander around the streets and alleys, busy coming and going, all he wants to know is who is behind the scenes, and then find out him and kill him.
When headless flies were running around like a clueless, Li Tai suddenly said such a sentence, I have to say, this sentence is too much for Li Su's appetite.
After a brief period of consternation, Li Su's first reaction was not joy, but a stronger vigilance.
There is no good thing in the sky that pie falls, Li Tai, the king of Wei, is fat and fat-headed, but it would be ridiculous if anyone really regarded him as mentally retarded, it is obvious that Li Tai has no interest in being a living Lei Feng, and Li Su never believes that Li Tai will help him for no reason.
To be precise, everyone used to be enemies, okay?
The brain was spinning rapidly, and countless possibilities flashed through Li Su's mind for a while, whether Li Tai wanted to kill people with a knife, or lead to trouble, or make a profit......
Regardless of any possibility, Li Su believes that Li Tai's purpose is not pure.
"Does Your Highness know who is behind the scenes?" Li Su blinked and smiled.
Li Tai also learned to blink his eyes, the fat face that was as round as a copper basin appeared This expression is really a bit ridiculous, God doesn't know how much he hates him, not only makes him fat into this virtue, but his face is also very round, as if the years have deliberately polished his face carefully, other people's years only smooth the edges and corners of his character, but Li Tai has been smoothed out by the years, the whole head is not like words, and he cuts it down with a knife in the Dharma field, and his head can be dripping and rolling for two miles without any help......
"Brother Zizheng wants to know?" Li Tai didn't realize that Li Su described him very badly in his mind, and still smiled with a ridiculous little mung bean eye.
Li Su laughed, and then his face suddenly turned flat, and he arched his hand and said, "I don't want to know!" The city gate is about to close, Your Highness, the minister takes his leave! β
Just go, no nostalgia.
Li Tai's smile froze on his face, and he watched Li Su get up and leave blankly.
This guy ...... Don't play cards according to the routine at all! Then you should show an extremely anxious and expectant expression, and kneel on the ground and beg me to tell the truth quickly is the right way to open it!
"Brother Zizheng, slow down! Wait! Li Tai was in a hurry.
Li Su turned around, expressionless: "Your Highness still has orders?" β
Li Tai took out a white silk handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This action won Li Su's favor a little, yes, everyone is a clean person, and Datang rarely sees a man have the habit of wearing a silk handkerchief.
Li Tai wiped his sweat, stuffed the silk handkerchief back into his arms, and suddenly showed a sneer on his fat face: "Brother Zizheng is really good at cultivating, the enemy has killed your family in prison, you actually have no revenge, this enemy hiding behind you doesn't find out, do you really sleep soundly?" β
Li Su also smiled: "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking upright, Your Highness helped me find out the enemy for no reason, and I can't sleep well, although I, Li Su, am a Tang minister, but except for His Majesty today, no one can use me as a sword!" β
Li Tai said angrily: "It's your business whether you want to be a knife or not, if you are sure of the enemy, will you let him go because you don't want to be a knife?" β
Li Su said lazily: "It's not the hatred of killing your father and the hatred of taking your wife, is it necessary to be so careful?" Besides, I am a magnanimous person, maybe I really don't care about the past suspicions, in the end, the hatred in my heart is not strong, there is a chance to take revenge naturally, I am not in a hurry if there is no chance, drag it out for three years and five years, and slowly it will not be taken seriously, Your Highness, don't use this to provoke me, who do you want to get rid of by my hand, it is best to make it clear first, if this is a deal, if you are together, you will benefit both, and if you don't agree, you will scatter, if you think that I will rush up and kill him if you say a name, it is too naΓ―ve. β
Looking at Li Su's resolute and non-negotiable expression, Li Tai was the first to be deflated.
Everyone is a smart person, and when it comes to this, if you play with small tricks and be careful, you will be honest and generous.
"Okay, as you said, 'cooperation is mutually beneficial', Brother Zizheng, you and I have no conflict, and regardless of past grievances, we don't say disgusting things like friendship, at least for now, we have a common enemy, do you agree with this?"
Li Su smiled: "This sentence is to the point, yes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend." β
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "He is worthy of being a genius of the Tang Dynasty, and the exit is a chapter and a canon, 'The enemy of the enemy is a friend', Si is good, and he should be a big white!" β
After speaking, Li Tai drank the cup, breathed a long sigh of relief, and laughed happily.
Li Su's eyes gradually showed a smile.
I have never been in contact with Li Tai before, in his impression, Li Tai relies on his father's favor, plus he is the most knowledgeable and diligent person among the princes, so he has always been arrogant, has no one in his eyes, and is arrogant and arrogant, and even likes to hide behind his back and play conspiracy......
This man has a lot of problems, but ...... But there is also a bit of silly and cuteness, and sometimes it really makes people unable to keep their guard against him, and they can't hate him.
A person with a lot of faults is not necessarily a downright bad person, Li Tai is at most a problem teenager with a relatively high IQ who has been spoiled by his father.
Li Su is more experienced in dealing with problem teenagers, first of all, he can't get used to his temper.
Li Tai is actually not so shrewd and dark most of the time, it can be said that many conspiracies and undesirable ambitions are made out by some staff members and advisers in the palace, such as at this moment, when it is clear that he should be talking about business, Li Tai is amazed by Li Su's ordinary words, and he takes a sip of this sentence for himself, drinking wine is not enough, he is alone with dull eyes, and he is still muttering this sentence in his mouth, which is quite a bit of a nerd's stupid appearance.
Li Su was not in a hurry, standing at the door of the hall and looking at him quietly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of inquiry.
I don't know how long it took, Li Tai finally came back to his senses, raised his head and met Li Su's gaze, suddenly felt out of shape, laughed embarrassedly twice, and took a cup to cover up.
"As Brother Zizheng said, we can cooperate in this matter, how about each taking its own benefit? Don't say anything about borrowing a knife to kill someone, you and I are both knives in each other's hands, as long as the tip of the knife is pointed in the same direction, we can continue to talk, right? β
Li Su's smile deepened: "Your Highness is really a transparent person, I admire it." β
Li Tairuo smiled meaningfully: "I also hope that Brother Zizheng will not turn the tip of the knife at me in the future, you and I will be together because of interests, and each will take its own benefits and disperse, and there was no great enmity back then, seriously speaking, I still had your way at the beginning." β
"That's natural, His Highness doesn't care about the ministers, and the ministers are thankful, how dare they be dishonest and disloyal to His Highness?" Li Su paused, blinked and smiled: "Perhaps, Your Highness will replace someone in the future and sit in that unspeakable position, how dare the minister dare to go against His Highness?" β
Li Tai's eyes lit up, his breathing couldn't help but be a little urgent, and his white face quickly flushed.
This sentence really tickled him. Li Tai's favorite thing to listen to in recent years is this sentence, and Li Shimin's doting on him, for a long time, he also had the illusion that he was the king of Wei from that position...... Really close, close enough to be within reach.
"Haha, it's over, it's too much, Brother Zizheng can't talk nonsense! The crown prince and the royal brother have always been supported by the government and the opposition, how can Tai He De, how can he ...... Haha, don't say it, don't say it! Li Tai said excitedly, but a red fat face had betrayed him deeply.
The two laughed, and when they looked at each other, a shady political deal was struck.
"Let's get down to business, does Brother Zizheng know who framed your father-in-law this time?" Li Tai lowered his voice and said.
Li Su said with a smile: "Come to think of it, the only common enemy between you and me is the prince, but I can see that this matter has nothing to do with the prince, and I hope His Royal Highness will tell me about the inside story." β
Li Tai showed a look of appreciation, nodded and said, "I like to talk to smart people, saving effort and worry...... Yes, it has something to do with the prince, but the prince is not too deeply involved, and the real mastermind behind this matter is ...... Han King Li Yuanchang! β
Li Su's expression moved slightly, and he quickly recovered as before.
Han King Li Yuanchang, well, is a big man, Li Shimin's half-brother, speaking of which is still the uncle of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, the princes, but he is not very old, because the ancestor Li Yuan has been fooling around all his life, and he has this son in old age, first named King Lu, and then renamed King Han, saying that he is a royal family, but the position of power is really very small, with Li Shimin's temperament, he will definitely not let such a half-brother hold too much power, it is very sensitive and dangerous, to put it simply, Li Yuanchang is simply a gentleman who does not want to make progress and bullies men and women all day long.
It is said that the relationship between the two is very close, Li Yuanchang is often stayed in the East Palace by the prince, and whenever there is a banquet or a singing and dancing event in the East Palace, there must be Li Yuanchang's figure, and the relationship between the two is said to be an uncle and nephew, but in fact, it is more like a pair of fox friends who share wealth.
When Li Tai said Li Yuanchang's name, Li Su vaguely understood.
Seeing Li Su's expressionless face, Li Tai couldn't see any clues on his face for a while, so he had to continue: "The reason for the incident, in fact, was not done by Li Yuanchang, it was a steward under the Han Palace, named Cui Feng, this person took advantage of the power of the King of Han, and has always done a lot of evil in Chang'an City, I heard that even the murder case has been involved in a few cases, and then it was over, this Cui Feng fell in love with Huang Shoufu's shop in Dongshi last year, of course, with Cui Feng's character, the bid cannot be too high, almost half buy and half rob, Huang Shoufu is naturally unwilling, So before he could negotiate with Cui Feng, he hurriedly found a next home and sold the store......"
Li Su smiled bitterly: "So, that next family is my poor father-in-law?" β
Li Tai smiled: "Exactly." β
Li Su sighed, this makes sense, no wonder last year, my father-in-law was inconvenient, so he could only pay part of the money to buy the store in advance, and Huang Shoufu agreed without saying a word, this shop is clearly a hot potato in Huang Shoufu's eyes, and it is serious to throw it out quickly, selling it to Cui Feng is equivalent to giving it to him half, and selling it to Xu Jingshan, although it is also in arrears, but the money owed will always be collected sooner or later, and normal people know what to choose.
Li Tai continued: "Later, after Cui Feng found out that the store had been resold to others, he couldn't help but be furious, and privately looked for Huang Shoufu, the two didn't know how to talk, and finally broke up unhappily, since then, Cui Feng secretly hated Huang Shoufu, and even your father-in-law was hated by him, in addition to finding a way to retaliate against Huang Shoufu, he also secretly checked your father-in-law, and only after checking did he know that he had a relationship with your son-in-law, you and the prince have always been incompatible with everyone is a well-known thing, and the king of Han and the prince have been very close, the so-called ' As the domestic slave of the Han Palace, Cui Feng not only wants to take the store for himself, but also wants to clean up your father-in-law, so as to make meritorious contributions in front of the King of Han......"
Looking at Li Su's helpless and bitter expression, Li Tai smiled: "The next thing, Brother Zizheng must also know, Huang Shoufu inexplicably drank your father-in-law's tea, and died violently that night, Cui Feng immediately called a criminal servant who secretly took refuge in the prince to take the person personally, the enemy died, your father-in-law was also imprisoned, the shop was empty, and he also made meritorious service in front of the King of Han, a good plan to kill three birds with one stone, but this surnamed Cui is a fool, he only has the King of Han and the prince in his eyes, thinking that everyone in the world can provoke him, but he didn't expect to provoke you this time......"
I heard that after the incident, Cui Feng ran back to the palace to invite merit, and the King of Han was stunned, without saying a word, he asked someone to hang him up and beat him hard, and then hurriedly prepared a carriage and horse into the East Palace, and after discussing with the prince for a long time, the first thing he did when he returned to the palace was to kill Cui Feng...... It wasn't until later that Brother Zizheng muddied the water in order to save his father-in-law, a case that had no evidence and no flaws, and you started from the squire of the criminal department, and even did not hesitate to frame him in turn, even the prince and the king of Han did not expect that you would actually make this move, the matter was big, the squire of the criminal department Han You was imprisoned, the case reached the heavens, Dali Temple Qing Sun Fujia personally tried it, the prince and the king of Han were also anxious, they noticed that if they didn't stop, it was very likely to set fire to themselves, originally they wanted to send someone to kill Han You, But Sun Fujia also seemed to be aware of Han You's importance in this case, and sent heavy troops to protect him, and others could not approach him, and later the prince had to retreat, control Han You's family, and send someone to send a message to the prison, and Han You was not allowed to talk nonsense......"
Li Su's face was a little ugly, he was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I didn't expect such a big case and such a strange injustice, it was actually done by a fool unintentionally, and the prince and the king of Han were just cleaning up the mess in the back......"
Li Tai smiled: "That's right, they were also involved by Cui Feng, no one would have expected that a fool would do something that would affect so many people, the prince and the king of Han are afraid that he will have a thousand knives in his heart, but since the two of them have taken action to clean up the mess, they have to do it all the way, the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, and the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, the more they are wrong, the more wrong they are, the ......more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, and the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, and the more wrong they are, the more wrong they are, and the more wrong they are, the more they are wrong, and the more wrong they are, the more they are wrong, and the more wrong they are, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they are wrong, and the more they are wrong, the more they Ha ha! β
Li Su also laughed twice, and then smiled suddenly, looking at Li Tai with a suspicious expression.
"Your Highness knows a lot about this matter, almost every detail is clear, how did you find out? Or rather...... The real culprit behind this incident is actually you? β
Li Tai's fat suddenly shook when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, Li Su even saw with his own eyes that there were circles of flesh on his face.
"Li Su, you are a bastard in Chang'an City, you never speak human words, this king has always been suspicious, today it seems that you don't just say human words, you are simply barking dogs! If you slander this king again, believe it or not, I will splatter your blood with you in five steps! Li Tai looked sad and angry, gritted his teeth and said. (To be continued.) )
