Anping Kangfang, in the back garden of Li Linfu's house, two men crouched together, staring closely at the northeast corner, the two have maintained the same posture since dusk, a whole hour has passed, the winter night is cold, the grass covered by cold dew is dark green, the surroundings are silent, the two men are shivering from the cold, and when they are about to give up and go back to the house, a change under the root of the wall has occurred, only to see the northeast corner of the wall under the root slowly light up, brighter and brighter, into three fireballs, slowly moving towards them, the two screamed in fright, like grasshoppers bounced up from the ground, rushed straight to the front house, "Father, there really is a ghost!" ”

.

"Say! What exactly do you see? ”

Li Linfu, who had just changed his clothes and was about to enter the palace, heard the shouts of his son, and got out of the car, counting, he has been the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for fifteen years, and has experienced countless ups and downs, but the recent rumors of haunting in the house have made him very troubled, someone saw three men in yellow robes holding hands and talking and laughing into the northeast gable and disappeared, and some people saw three children each running in the back garden with a fireball, speaking eloquently, widely spread in the house, and after that, no one dared to step into the back garden half a step, But what bothered Li Linfu was the initial rumor, the three yellow-robed men, which reminded him of an old case many years ago, which was the biggest heart disease in his life. In order to confirm whether this haunting was true, he specially ordered Li Xiu and another son (he had twenty-five sons, twenty-five daughters, and sometimes even he himself often forgot the name of one of them) to go to the back garden tonight.

"Father, the child did see three fireballs." Li Xiu's heart palpitated, and he replied tremblingly.

There are really three, Li Linfu suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak, he sat down in the chair, and after a while, he waved his hand, "Go ahead!" ”

In the twenty-fifth year of Kaiyuan, Tai Li Ying, Li Yao, King of E, and Li Ju, King of Light, were framed by Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui, and were demoted to concubines, and then forced to commit suicide.

"Is it your turn now?"

Li Linfu suddenly felt a burst of fear, this was a feeling he had never felt before, just like an injured person would instinctively tremble when he was wounded by someone's fingers, maybe his fear would disappear when the wound was healed, but his wound would never heal, and just healed one, a more painful sore would erupt.

He was irritable, stood up, pushed open the window, a cold wind blew in his face, the world said that he Li Linfu smiled with a knife, and his heart was ruthless, but who would say that the blacker and more ruthless person, he was just eradicating dissidents, and that person even wanted to kill his own son, just to keep his position, it can be seen that the most ruthless in the world is the emperor's house.

"Don't come to me, your death has nothing to do with me."

Li Linfu muttered twice, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, who would believe this?

He is just a dog of that person, figuring out his mind and doing unspeakable things for him, so he can sit in today's position step by step, even so, then why should the retribution be borne by himself, but he is in the palace and drinking, Li Linfu was resentful, and closed the window with a 'snap', but he almost caught his hand.

.

Li Linfu has a fat and long nose, the nasal groove is deep and long, with his nose, it gives people a sense of arrogance, and his eyes and arrogance have also become amiable, but in his study, his smile disappeared, and he became a cold, fierce and calculating politician.

And today, this old politician, who controls the political lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty, is so disturbed by the haunting of the mansion that he even forgot about entering the palace.

He turned around, but his eyes fell on the table, there was a letter lying there, which had not yet been opened, and he picked it up casually, it was actually a letter from Li Daofu in Chengdu, Li Linfu was slightly surprised, when did this letter come, and he didn't see it.

He took out a glittering knife, picked open the cover, pulled out the letterhead inside, and read, his brows slowly twisted into a ball, the Hai family smuggling incident in Chengdu was captured by Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and the matter involved Li Daofu, so he wrote to him for help.

Li Linfu was taken aback, he read it carefully, the smuggling boat was captured in Yibin County, and then the county lord Bo Li Qing handed over all kinds of smuggling items directly to Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and at the end of the letter, Li Daofu vaguely hinted at which ones might have his own release letter.

"Bitter!"

Li Linfu slapped the table heavily and shouted, now is the most critical time, how can this kind of thing happen, maybe he will be completely overthrown.

He quickly thought about various possibilities in his mind, if Zhang Qiu and Qiong were afraid of his might, maybe this matter would not be over, but he was a person of Tai, would he not hesitate to offend himself and give these evidence to Tai in the current situation, the possibility was extremely high, Li Linfu immediately came to the conclusion, since he Zhang Qiu and Qiong had already made his position, how could he let go of this opportunity to curry favor with Tai.

It's just that it seems to be a little late now, and he looked at the letter back and forth again, the incident happened a year ago, but today is the thirteenth day of the first month, how did this letter come.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the voice of the old housekeeper Qian Zhong came, "Master, if you don't enter the palace, it's too late." ”

"You come in!"

Qian Zhong pushed the door in, stood at the door and bowed his head and waited for the master to speak.

"I have come to ask you when this letter came and why it has suddenly appeared on my desk now.", staring at him closely.

"This.

Qian Zhong hesitated, this letter was forgotten by the porter for three days, the porter begged himself, for the sake of the porter is the face of the old man, he took advantage of the old man to secretly put the letter on the table when the old man entered the palace, but unexpectedly, the house was haunted, and the old man came back.

Qian Zhong secretly looked at the old man's face, if his face was peaceful, he could still ask for mercy, but now the old man's face was obviously uncertain, Qian Zhongzhong knew the old man too well, rarely had such a face, it seemed that the letter was a big deal, he couldn't help but secretly curse the porter, it was not good to implicate himself, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he had to say truthfully: "This letter was forgotten by the porter for three days, so it was sent today, I have tied him up, waiting for the master to send it." ”

"What!" Li Linfu suddenly became angry, and it was indeed 'a hole of a thousand miles, destroyed in an anthill', it seems that he is too loose in his control of his family, and a small porter dares to be so careless and mislead his own big thing.

"Someone!" Several strong guards entered.

"Gather all the family members and give me the concierge family to be killed in public."

Qian Zhong's face turned pale, and he could see that the old man had something to say behind him.

Sure enough, Li Linfu took two steps, glanced back at him, and said coldly: "From now on, you go to be the porter, if you dare to make a mistake again, the porter family will be your end!" ”

.

Chang'an seems to be covered by a heavy black curtain, the carriage travels through the foggy night, the front horse holds two lanterns, the lanterns emit orange-red light, reflecting the word 'Li Xiang', which is particularly conspicuous in the night, hundreds of horsemen and guards holding huge shields in front and back and left and right to defend tightly, lest the sky fall assassins.

The law of the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of officials are not allowed to go out on the street, even if the prime minister has to do it, so there are often ordinary old farmers blocking the road to complain, but Li Linfu is an exception, even Li Longji knows that his opponents are too much, and people who want to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin abound.

Li Linfu's mansion is in Pingkangfang, and generally you can go to the Jingfeng Gate in the west to enter the palace, or cross the Wubenfang, turn to Chang'an Street and walk to the gate to enter the imperial city, but his habit is to pass the Wubenfang, then walk through Xingdaofang, turn to Zhuque Street and take the Suzaku Gate to enter the imperial city, so the world says that he Li Linfu is in the limelight. In fact, the reason why Li Linfu wants to go to Xingdaofang is because there is the former residence of Princess Taiping, he has to take a look at it every day, reminiscing about the woman who has left a variegated patch in the history of the Tang Dynasty, when he was a palace guard at the beginning, this woman once teased him, "If the brother slave is the face, I should marry it", things change over time, Princess Taiping has long been fragrant and jade, but he Li Linfu is indeed the phase, and he has been sitting for fifteen years, if she knows the spirit, she still dares to pat her face and jokingly call her milk name brother slave?

The team soon approached the former residence of Princess Taiping, but today he took a closer look at the mansion, and the haunting of the mansion made him want to move to the mansion, and this former residence of Princess Taiping was an alternative target for him.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and the chief of the guard hurriedly came to report, "Li Huaijie, the governor of Songmo, asks to see him." ”

Li Linfu groaned slightly, "Call him to come forward and answer!" ”

Although Li Huaijie said that he was arrogant, but if he wanted to go directly to Li Longji to find someone, he didn't have the guts, and after thinking for a long time, he prepared a heavy gift and went to Zong Zhengqing Li Che's mansion to inquire about the candidates for this marriage, Li Che told him that the emperor had intended to let the daughter of the Dugu clan and pro-Khitan, Li Huaijie tried the possibility of Li Jingyan again, but Li Che smiled and said that Li Jingyan is a descendant of the clan, and marrying him is not in line with the etiquette system, but where is Li Huaijie willing to give up, entangled again and again, Li Che had to look at the face of etiquette, vaguely pointed out a dark path for him, and went to Li Linfu.

Li Linfu is in a high position and has vicious methods, so all the generals in the border areas are not afraid of him, and Li Huaijie is no exception, he walked quickly to Li Linfu's car with the head of the guard, bowed and bowed and said: "Khitan Li Huaijie has seen Lord Enxiang." ”

After a while, Li Linfu asked slowly: "What is the matter with Governor Li looking for the old man?" ”

Li Linfu's voice was low, Li Huaijie couldn't hear it clearly, he took a step closer, and was just about to speak, but was crossed by two guards and forced him to take a step back, Li Huaijie was angry, but he didn't dare to show it at all, so he had to say stupidly: "The humble is to ask Xiangguo for the princess's marriage." ”

"The princess's marriage is an internal affair of the royal family, and the old man is a foreign official, how can I interfere, I'm afraid I can't help, now the emperor is waiting for me, don't go, if I miss the time, I can't afford to be guilty, Li Dudu, offended, drive!"

The carriage and horse started, leaving Li Huaijie aside, he was so anxious that he didn't care about the guards glaring at him, and while following the carriage, he said loudly: "I want to marry the daughter of King Ning, the lord of Pingyang, and I am very grateful!" ”

The carriage stopped suddenly, "Who did you just say you want to marry?" ”

Li Huaijie was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "I want to marry Li Jingyan, the daughter of King Ning, the lord of Pingyang, as my wife. ”

The Khitan Dynasty Qin and Twilight, it is a trivial matter to serve his life or not, but the three words 'King of Sining' aroused Li Linfu's interest, as if a fat roe deer came out in front of the hunter, Li Lin is too much of a money bag, and he has always wanted to clean him up, but because he is an idle king, he can't catch his handle, but now.

Li Linfu glanced at Li Huaijie through the curtain, under the dim moonlight, his face was green, and the long scar on his left cheek looked more and more hideous, as if he was a powerful ghost traveling in the palace of Hades.

'Hey, that's a good thing!' Li Linfu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shot a hint of a yin smile.
