Chapter Seventy-Six: The Bottom Line (continued)

Liu Xun took a breath and said, "But why did this dancing girl want to spy on Li Linfu's secret?" Is it a mission? ”

Li Shizhi smiled and said: "Yanzhi, it seems that you don't understand some things, but you don't want to use your brain, you can ask this sentence, it is not in vain that I value you." There were many royal nobles who invited this dancing girl into the mansion, such as King Qi, King Ning, and several princes' families were sincerely invited, but this woman didn't agree, but she only agreed to the invitation from Li Linfu's mansion. At that time, it was secretly rumored that it was caused by Li Linfu's coercion, but now it seems that Li Linfu has been wronged. ”

"Zuo Xiang's meaning is that this woman just wants to enter Li Linfu's mansion, and she will not agree to anyone's invitation. In other words, she deliberately chose the Xiangguo Mansion? ”

"Yes." Li Shizhi nodded slightly and said, "You can understand the trick now." ”

Liu Xun said slowly: "This dancing girl was deliberately arranged to enter Li Linfu's mansion as a secret agent. ”

Li Shizhi nodded slowly and said: "Smoke straight is an enlightenment, this is the truth." ”

Liu Xun looked at Li Shizhi blankly: "Who is the person behind this?" It can't be you. ”

Li Shizhi smiled and said: "Xunzhi, I just said that you understand, you are confused again, at that time, the old man was still in the position of the imperial historian and the envoy of the Youzhou Festival, and Li Linfu also did not violate the river water, how could it be me?" Besides, even if it is an old man, how can this matter be hidden from you and Sigui? ”

Liu Xun patted his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, how can it be Zuo Xiang, but who is that?" ”

Li Shizhi smiled and said quietly: "It's not hard to guess, it's not difficult to guess, it's not difficult to say, it's not difficult to say, it must not be Li Linfu's comrades who plant eyeliner next to Li Linfu, but the talent who beware of Li Linfu." Li Linfu has many enemies, and it is difficult to determine this range alone, but if you analyze the design of the whole thing, there are not many people who can contact Gongsun Auntie and send this woman to Gongsun Auntie to learn dance skills. The Wei family may be able to, but most likely it is the father and son. ”

Liu Xun was shocked and said, "You mean, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" ”

Li Shizhi nodded slowly and said: "The old man's analysis must be one of them, Your Majesty has enough reasons to do this, Your Majesty relies on Li Linfu and takes precautions, this is not an uncommon thing, it is common to send someone in to listen to the news." And judging from the design of the whole thing and the means of not revealing clues, it seems to be the handiwork of His Majesty. ”

Liu Xun nodded straight and said: "Yes, it is indeed an excellent means to take advantage of Li Linfu's hobby of liking sword dance, and let a disciple who can get the true inheritance of Gongsun Auntie enter Xiangguo Mansion." ”

Li Shizhi: "Yes, but it is not excluded that it is the prince's means, in fact, I tend to be the prince's doing, if I had thought that the prince would not have such a delicate means, but what happened recently made me change my opinion of the prince." The crown prince is by no means a cowardly and incompetent person as outsiders think, judging from the things that Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming have done this time, the prince's determination is unmatched. Xun Zhi should know that this time the prince wanted to show his innocence, and the matter of the crown princess Wei's happened. ”

Liu Xun nodded straight and said: "The subordinates naturally know that there is a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition, and I don't know whether the prince's behavior is wise or stupid." ”

Li Shizhi: "The prince did this to completely give up Wei Jian and Huangfu Weiming, completely draw a clear relationship with this incident, although he cut off his arms, but he was able to protect himself." I despise what he does in terms of conduct, but in terms of strategy, it is a ruthless move; It's hard to describe both wisdom and stupidity, and both need to see what happens next. Therefore, I know from the recent behavior of the prince that the prince is not the image we see on weekdays, so it is very likely that this spy was placed by the prince's side of Li Linfu. ”

Liu Xun thought so.

"Who planted it don't mention for the time being, this woman was hunted down that night, fled all the way from Dongcheng to Xicheng, and finally it is said that she disappeared near the left side of Yong'an Fang in Xicheng, which is what interests the old man." Li Shizhi said lightly.

Liu Xun said straightly: "What's the mystery in this? ”

Li Shizhi: "Didn't you hear me mention Yong'an Fang?" Where did this Wang Yuan live before he came to my house? ”

Liu Xun was startled and said in a low voice: "Yong'an Fang!" ”

Li Shizhi nodded slightly: "I know the coincidence." The woman was deeply wounded by arrows, you don't know Jin Wuwei's methods, their arrows are all poisoned with aconitum poison, and those who are hit by arrows can rarely escape pursuit. Although the heavy snowfall afterwards blocked Jin Wuwei's plan to take the mastiff to sniff and search, how could an injured woman disappear without a trace if no one took her in, and how could she survive the heavy snow and cold weather? ”

"But that doesn't mean that Wang Yuan took in that woman?" Liu Xun said in a low voice.

But that night, the Fang Ding who patrolled the night near the south gate of Yong'an Fang was Wang Yuan, and after the incident, someone proved that he had been delayed for a long time before appearing, and his expression was also a little panicked. A few days later, all of a sudden, this down-and-out Wang Yuan suddenly married a woman of unknown origin and no one knew him, isn't all this suspicious? ”

Liu Xunzhi frowned and said: "My subordinates have investigated Wang Yuan before, and I also feel that this matter is a bit abrupt, he has lost his family business and has a bad reputation in Yong'an Fang, why did a beautiful woman suddenly marry her." At that time, Zhao Fang of Yong'an Fang told me about this incident, and he said that he had never heard of Wang Yuan having a cousin who lived in Dongcheng. At that time, his subordinates were just collecting talents for the poetry club, but they didn't think much about it, and it was really strange when I thought about it at this time. ”

Li Shizhi: "You now know that this Wang Yuan is not simple, is that dancing girl saved by him, and who is the woman who married him?" What are the identities of the two women who live next to him in my house now? What is the purpose of this Wang Yuan meeting the old man in the West Market, successfully attracting the old man's attention and entering the old man's side? Whether this is all a deliberate arrangement by someone is worth questioning. Has the old man been played by this Wang Yuan without knowing it? ”

A series of questions raised by Li Shizhi, Liu Xun didn't know the answers, maybe Zuo Xiang was too worried, maybe Zuo Xiang said that there was a reason for all this, but he couldn't understand the connection.

"Benxiang originally wanted to keep Wang Yuan by his side and slowly wait for him to expose his clues, but I don't know if it was right or wrong to keep him by his side. Of course, I don't want to attack him personally, so if Li Linfu and Wang Ji are willing to do it for them, I will never stop it. So from today on, he will go wherever he likes, and of course he doesn't need to be guarded. Besides, I know that he is definitely not going to accompany his cousin to the capital tomorrow, Yang Zhao came to see him today, how could it be to meet him. The two may have had some kind of private agreement. Doing things in front of the old man's nose is ignoring the old man and despising the old man. Having said so much, do you think the old man can still put his heart into Wang Yuantui, and can he still care about his safety? ”

……

Liu Xun directly conveyed Li Shizhi's words to Wang Yuan, telling Wang Yuan that from today onwards, Wang Yuan will be free to enter and leave the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is no need to report it, Wang Yuan doesn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Obviously, Li Shizhi seems to have succumbed to himself and given himself absolute freedom, but in Wang Yuan's view, this shows that Li Shizhi no longer cares about his safety. The previous behavior of forbidding himself to leave the house without permission was still out of concern for his own safety in his bones, but now this attitude is to completely let it go, and Li Shizhi no longer cares about his life and death.

Wang Yuan's heart is as cold as ice, politicians are all iron-hearted, only for their own selfishness, but they never care about others. This Li Shizhi didn't even have the interest of reminding himself to pay attention to safety, which shows that this person is ruthless and honest, and has an empty name; But Wang Yuan was actually not surprised, it was not a pity that he would have to come to this point with Li Shizhi sooner or later.

The only thing that made Wang Yuan feel comforted was that Liu Xun hinted at some words in and out of his straight words, although he couldn't say it explicitly in the end, it was not easy to stand in his position. Wang Yuan understood his position, after all, he was a Qing guest who was dependent on Li Shizhi's survival, and it was not good to be too harsh on him. Wang Yuan was relieved that he had finally made a worthy friend in Li Shizhi's mansion, this Liu Xunzhi actually cared about himself very much, he couldn't say why, but begged Wang Yuan to bring a few guards he arranged when he went out the next day. According to Liu Xunzhi's words, this is to make it convenient for him to run errands, but Wang Yuan knows that this is Liu Xunzhi's disguise to protect himself.

After rejecting Liu Xunzhi's kindness, Liu Xunzhi said goodbye and left with a face full of regret and a look of wanting to stop talking, and Wang Yuan also stood under the corridor with a heavy heart and thought. At present, it is obvious that the gap between him and Li Shizhi is irreparable, and he will have to move out of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion in the next few days, and if he stays here again, he will give people the suspicion of not leaving, even if he moves out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and is about to face the invasion of wind and rain from all sides, Wang Yuan has to accept it calmly.
