"Sect Master, there is news from the capital that Chen Xiu has been imprisoned." Mo Da bowed to the side.

"Oh? The sea boy did it pretty fast. Is there any news from the Seventh Prince's side? Mo Laodao asked.

"Muslim master, not yet. However, Li Wan recently went to the capital. ”

Mo Laodao was a little surprised when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Back then, Li Wan's time to collect intelligence was not so slow! Is there something else going on? ”

"Sect Master, shouldn't we tell Dark Chess that information?" There was some worry on Mo Da's face.

Mo Laodao smiled after seeing Mo Da's cautious expression, and said: "Don't worry so much, he doesn't know his background yet, besides, we don't have a subordinate relationship with him, as long as he still wants to know those things from us, he will naturally not betray us, equal trading is a restriction." ”

"What the sect leader said is true, but his subordinates feel that this move is still a bit ......"

Mo Laodao interrupted the other party's words: "Don't worry about dark chess, the top priority is to clarify the relationship between Hai Boy and Tie Zhengsha, I don't want the hard-working layout to be ruined." ”

Since Mo Laodao didn't want to talk too much about dark chess, Mo Da couldn't say anything, so he could only respond along Mo Laodao's topic: "Why is the sect leader so guarded against Hai Wuxian? ”

"A thousand miles of embankment, destroyed in an anthill! When you don't know the relationship between the two, you shouldn't act rashly, Tie Zhengsha is very insidious, in case the sea boy is really Tie Zhengsha's backhand against the White Lotus Sect, then you can't help but guard against it. ”

"By the way, how is the inquiry in the dangerous building? Wei Yong is really secretive. Mo Lao Dao asked Mo Da again.

"There's no news yet, but Sect Master, are the fugitives from the Blood Prison really that important?"

"Of course it's important, otherwise Tie Zhengsha wouldn't have worked so hard to lock so many people in there, and everyone in the blood prison would have affected the court situation, otherwise the little doll sitting on the throne wouldn't have let the people of the Zhenfu Division desperately chase after him. Jin Jiu is a special special, originally wanted to win over Jin Jiu in order to master Jiangnan businessmen. But it's a pity ......, in short, inquire clearly, if necessary, you can go to the prison to rob, if you want to achieve great things, you must first control the wine bags and rice bags in the temple. ”

————

Chen Xiu, who was locked up in a dangerous building, had red eyes at this time.

Why? Why does that Jin Jiu's cell look like a study? And there is still silk and satin hanging above the fence, smelling of wine, it should be thirty years old, is this still a prisoner?

"Master Jin, your cell ......"

Jin Jiu held a reading book in his hand and observed it carefully. Hearing Chen Xiu's question, he took a sip of his wine glass. Only then did he speak: "Those who know the times are handsome, and only those who know how to advance and retreat can enjoy glory." ”

"Taught!" When Chen Xiu heard the other party's guidance, he knew that this dog day had taken refuge in the imperial court. Chen Xiu is different from Jin Jiu, he all expects to survive in secret, and if he recruits, he will only die faster.

"That one is also from Bloodhell?" Chen Xiu looked at the cell next to Jin Jiu and asked curiously.

"Road southbound!" Jin Jiu was not disgusted with Chen Xiu's constant questioning.

"When did you get caught? Why can't you hear the wind outside? ”

"This genius broke in on his own!"

"So stunned?" It's the best of my life!

"I heard that Wei Yong was going to hunt down his son, and after spreading the news of Lu Beiyou's arrest, he came in." Jin Jiu took another sip of wine.

"Jin Ye's news is extensive." Damn! Someone passed on news to him when he was in prison, it seems that the handle he holds in his hand is really not small, and he doesn't know which backstage he found, the relationship is so hard! So envious!

"Brother Jin's words are wrong! The old man completely missed prison life, so he came to bother him. As for children? If he is planted, he can only say that he is not good at what he does, and he can't blame others. "Lu Nanxing heard that there are many mechanisms built in this dangerous building, and he has a family stunt, how could he let go of such a good opportunity! I didn't expect this Wei Ji to be such a chicken thief, and the locks designed were all pretended. He was itching in his heart when he was researching, and when he went to the prison to change his guard, he didn't know it, so he was arrested naturally.

"I don't know what Senior Lu was arrested and imprisoned about back then?" Chen Xiu still likes to ask around.

"Huh!" Lu Nanxing sneered and ignored Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu was bored with herself, and she didn't ask any more questions, saving herself embarrassment.

"Brother Jin?" Lu Nan walked to the side closest to the Golden Nine Fence, called out, and made a wave of his hand at the same time.

Jin Jiu laughed lightly, then walked to the fence with the wine jar, put the wine jar on the ground, and pushed the wine jar in the direction of the cell heading south of the road with skillful force.

Lu Nanxing stretched out his hand to prevent the wine jar from being smashed. After taking the wine jar that slipped from the ground, Lu Nanxing got up and saluted Jin Jiu, and then opened the red paper that sealed the wine jar and drank heavily. Jin Jiu also returned the salute to Lu Nanxing, stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person! Who can guarantee that the other party is useless to themselves?

——————

In the imperial study, Li Zhen stared at Wei Yong, who was kneeling under the bookcase, without saying a word, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

"It is rumored that Lu Beiyou stole the talisman, what is the use of catching a Lu Nanxing? Wei Qing, I ask you, whose hand is the talisman in? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the talisman was originally stolen by Lu Beiyou, and after escaping from the blood prison, Lu Nanxing's father and son had private contact, and I believe that it was at that time that Lu Nanxing handed over the talisman to Lu Beiyou. However, please rest assured, Your Majesty has sent someone to spread the news that the soldier talisman is on Lu Nanxing, and he is now being imprisoned in the dangerous building. ”

"Forget it, since Wei Qing has already spread the news, let Ge Zhongshu worry about the matter of the military talisman. I heard that Chen Xiu from the Blood Prison was also arrested? Does he matter? Li Zhen first instructed Wei Yu about the talisman, and then thought of Chen Xiu, who Hai Wuxian had recently captured, so he asked more.

"Back to Your Majesty, Hai Wuxian will recuperate behind closed doors after returning to Beijing, according to Yan Chong's repetition, what secrets does this Chen Xiu hold in the Ministry of Industry, because of the relationship of time, Yan Chong did not ask anything more, so, the specific secret, only Hai Wuxian and Chen Xiu know."

"Ministry of Works? That's a pretty good step. When Li Zhen heard the Ministry of Works, he showed a very interested look.

On weekdays, the Ministry of Punishment is controlled by the Department of Suppression, although the Ministry of War is an empty shelf, but it can also say a few words for the little emperor in the court, and the household department is in charge of the national taxes, and has been vigorous, often not putting the little emperor in his eyes, although it has been supported by Jiangnan officials and businessmen, but it is still a drop in the bucket. The Ministry of Rites has always remained neutral and has not been left alone for the time being, and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry often pinch each other, but when it comes to critical times, both help each other to suppress themselves.

If at this time, he won the Ministry of Industry, then he would have the confidence to compete with the old guys, although he still can't compare with them in strength, but he expects that they will not dare to embarrass him as an emperor in the court in the future. Thinking of these, Li Zhen was extremely serious.

"Wei Qing, you personally go to the dangerous building to take care of Chen Xiu, be sure to catch the handle of the Ministry of Works, prevent them from jumping over the wall in a hurry, and don't allow anyone other than you to enter the dangerous building for half a step."

"No." After Wei Yong received the appointment of the little emperor, he slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

After Wei Yong withdrew, Feng An, the chief supervisor of ceremonies, walked to the little emperor's side and whispered something in Li Zhen's ear.

"Uncle Seven Kings has come to the capital?" Li Zhen was slightly surprised. Although it is said that the vassal kings of various places are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without being summoned, this person who is alone and does not bring a single soldier can secretly enter Beijing is another matter.

"After Uncle Seven Kings entered Beijing, where did he go?"

"Master, after the Seventh Prince entered Beijing, he didn't hang out everywhere, but stayed directly in a wine shop." Feng An replied quietly.

"Oh? It's a real remark. Forget it, since Uncle Qiwang has come to the capital, it's not good for me, a nephew, to hide like this, which wine shop, I will take a look. "It's a little boring to stay in the palace, and Li Zhen wants to go out for a walk.

——————

"It's really strange, you didn't stay in the palace, how could you suddenly want to come to the capital?" Chu Shijing laughed drunkenly.

"Just get out and walk."

"You only drink tea when you come to the wine shop, you really waste these good wines!"

"But you, why did you suddenly come to this king?"

"I, a drunkard, have been in the capital to find out the news for you, and suddenly I heard that you were coming, and I thought that you had changed your temperament. In the end, I'm drunk, and I'm afraid I won't wake up from this wine! ”

The Seventh Prince, Li Wan, picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and ignored Chu Shijing.

Looking at Li Wan's appearance, Chu Shijing continued to drink bitterly and asked, "You suddenly came here, aren't you afraid that your nephew will think too much?" ”

"You have to change the bad habit of being greedy!" Li Wan dissuaded the other party with two sentences and avoided the other party's question.

"Drunk dreams of death, drunk dreams of life! You really don't know what I've been getting drunk for all these years? ”

Li Wan frowned, of course he knew the reason why the other party was so decadent, but he no longer had the heart to fight for power and seize the throne back then, but he suffered from these diehard loyalists who followed him back then.

After drinking all the wine in the wine jar, Chu Shijing seemed to notice something and asked, "Are you waiting for someone?" Who? Your nephew? ”

"Forget it! I've never guessed what you're going to do. I don't want to guess your current temperament. Chu Shijing said to himself, leaving a sentence "Let's go!" Then he left the wine shop, and before leaving, he asked the guy at the counter for two pots of good wine, which were recorded in Li Wan's account.

After Chu Shijing left, Li Wan drank tea alone. The purpose of his entry into Beijing is indeed as Chu Shijing said, to wait for people here. However, he had already met and talked with the person he was waiting for, and everything was going on in secrecy and was not known to anyone else. The reason why he stayed in this wine shop was to wait for his nephew to come and look for him, in order to appease his nephew's suspicious heart.
