In a low and cramped alley, there is a two-entry house, which is barely regular, with five main rooms, four matching rooms on both sides, and a courtyard behind it, which is inhabited by the next person.

Such a house would be disliked by ordinary rich and noble families, but Li Gu lived in a happy place.

A few years ago, he was forced by Chai Rong to sign an IOU of 10 million yuan because of the shortfall, and later relied on minting counterfeit money and various arbitrage methods to fill the shortfall.

He also stepped down from the position of the third envoy and transferred to the Wuyingdian University Scholar to teach the prince full-time, and even the prince didn't need to be taken care of in the past few years.

Li Xianggong is also old, and he is ready to return to his hometown.

"Chang'an eunuch tour, it is already a blessing to be able to start and finish, and the old man should also make fun of his grandson and enjoy the joy of family."

The housekeeper Li Bao smiled and said: "What did the master say, Han Zhongcheng and the old man are in the same year, he is still in the Yushitai, where is the turn to get the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

Li Gu shook his head slightly, "You are wrong, Han Xizai is the person who is used today, and the old man is the person used by the first emperor, plus the old man has made some mistakes before, and he will definitely not reuse the old man today." After Jingcha, the old man has completed the exam three times in nine years, and it stands to reason that he should be promoted to a positive first grade, a very good minister, he should go, and if he doesn't leave, he should be annoying! ”

Li Gu said, picked up the porridge bowl, and drank it slowly.

A bowl of ordinary white porridge and a plate of fried cabbage heart, this is Li Gu's lunch.

The old man sighed while drinking: "The blessing is not to be enjoyed, how many people has the old man seen over the years, one step into the air, the head is different, and it is true that he is plain and plain when he is old!" ”

After drinking the porridge, Li Gu walked around the garden, very slow and thoughtful. At this time, a family member came in, stepping on a bamboo basket, because they were walking too fast, they tripped over the steps, and an object fell out of the frame, three inches long, full of fibrous roots, and it turned out to be a ginseng!

When Li Gu saw it, his old face suddenly lengthened.

The housekeeper was so angry that he ran over and slapped him twice.

"Why don't you die stupidly! Stupid you! ”

He whipped so hard that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Li Gu glanced at it and said impatiently: "Forget it, don't fight, send it to the flower room!" ”

"Ahh

The family was so frightened that his face changed wildly, he kowtowed desperately, his head was bloodstained, he begged bitterly, "Master, the little one knows that he is wrong, the little one will pay attention, please spare the little one!" ”

Li Gu glared at the housekeeper and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, take it away!" ”

"Yes!"

The housekeeper had no choice but to call someone, drag the family down, and send him to the back flower room.

The so-called flower room, but not the real place to plant flowers, but the secret room of the Li Mansion, all the family members who make a mistake will be stuffed into the secret room, not to eat, not to drink, tied with ropes, and then sealed with a big iron door, and after ten days, the iron door is opened, and the people inside will starve to death.

They all have skin and bones, some of them will grab dirt and stuff it in their mouths, and their stomachs will swell like balls, and some of them will be rotten and crawling with maggots...... All in all, bizarre and terrifying.

The living family members must come to watch one by one, so that they can see what happens when they do something wrong.

Those who have been taught a lesson will be more careful and diligent, trembling, and will never dare to make mistakes again...... I don't know why, there are always people who are sloppy these days.

It makes Li Gu feel very bad, the old man is full of rice buckets, how can he be reassured!

The housekeeper went and returned and sent news to Li Gu.

"Xiangye, Your Majesty handed over Mrs. Hua Rui to Ye Hua for interrogation!"

"What?"

Li Gu's face changed suddenly, he wrinkled his brows, and he couldn't believe it, "You didn't lie?" Your Majesty is really willing to hand over Concubine Hua to Ye Hua? ”

"That's right!" The housekeeper said: "A small sedan chair carried by two people, Concubine Hua is already in the lobby of the Criminal Department at the moment!" ”

"It's broken!"

Li Gu's old eyes turned around twice and slapped his thigh suddenly.

What pampering, what golden yard...... It's basically a play that His Majesty and Ye Hua have teamed up to play!

Everyone thought that His Majesty had changed a person, sighed, and ran to die, but as everyone knows, people have not changed at all, but dug a pit for others to jump ...... This pair of monarchs and ministers is simply amazing!

Thinking of this, Li Gu became more and more nervous, Fei Shi did not get the Holy Favor, she was a waste child at all, no, she was more terrible than a waste child!

This stupid woman has nothing, and she has no reason to resist.

If she gets everything out, it's going to be bad.

Thinking of this, Li Gu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, he immediately changed into an official uniform with patches, rode a shabby sedan chair, and rushed to the Criminal Department.

When he arrived at the Criminal Department, Ye Hua happened to be interrogated and rested in the signing room.

"It's Li Xianggong, I haven't seen you for a long time, you ......" Ye Hua looked at his dress and couldn't help laughing, "I said Li Xianggong, who are you pretending to be poor for?" ”

Li Gu smiled, "Master Hou, it's not that I'm pretending to be poor, I'm scared, the old man has sent all the money back to his hometown in the past few years, saving money, I'm afraid that I can't pay back the money I owe people!" ”

Ye Hua laughed, "Okay, your old man has been managing money for many years, and you still don't know a little way?" Do you want me to show you the way? ”

"Don't!" Li Gu waved his hand, "The old man followed Hou Ye to toss Nantang, and he really saw it." If you don't play well with this money, you will lose your country, your family, the old man is old, and he is not willing to take risks, so he lives honestly, which is good. ”

"High!"

Ye Hua stretched out his thumb, "Li Xianggong's current realm is beyond my reach." Ye Hua turned around and said to Dou Yi: "Dou Shangshu, prepare a small dragon group for Li Xianggong, he is reluctant to drink at home!" ”

Dou Yi hurriedly agreed, and Li Gu smiled: "Master Hou, don't be polite, the old man's belly can't fit the little dragon group." Li Gu just took a sip of the herbal tea on the table, then leaned over and said, "Master Hou, why did you get Concubine Hua to the hall?" Is it the saint who wants to punish sin, or is it? ”

Ye Hua smiled: "What kind of crime!" The saint pampered the flower concubine, and everyone knew it. It's just that pampering is pampering, and the sage can ignore her affairs in Shu, but she can't not know about it...... No, Shu smuggled a lot of goods to Da Zhou, Meng Chang died, and Fei Zhen didn't know many things, so he had to ask Concubine Hua, and when she finished speaking, she would be sent back to the palace, and His Majesty would listen to her play the piano! ”

"Oh!"

Li Gu nodded, "I see, so to speak, the sage still likes Concubine Hua?" ”

"My Fair Lady, Gentleman!" Ye Hua smiled and said: "I'll tell you, that old scholar Qi Tongwen painted a portrait and hung it in his study, that old guy has fallen, how good can others be!" ”

Li Gu lowered his brows and groaned slightly, "Master Hou, according to this, you have to be polite to Concubine Hua, don't make enemies with her, and Fei Jin, what do you think Hou Ye should do?" ”

Li Gu asked questions one after another, and he saw that Ye Hua's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was dissatisfied. Li Gu hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, you and I, as well as Han Zhongcheng, are the prince's masters, and Concubine Hua is the favored person of the Son of Heaven, I am worried that it will be bad for the prince, after all, what just happened in the palace is sad and frightening!" ”

Li Gu said earnestly: "Let's be courtiers, it's not fun to get involved in the affairs of the heavenly family, I'm afraid that even the Hou Ye can't afford it!" ”

Ye Hua was very moved, "Li Xianggong, you came to remind me, it shows our friendship." But don't worry, I'm sure! Ye Hua leaned over and said, "Li Xianggong, I have evidence in my hand!" ”

"Evidence? What evidence? ”

Li Gu couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Ye Hua smiled calmly, "Some people, they think they are smart, they think that if they burn down the palace in Yizhou, these things will disappear, wrong!" They couldn't be more wrong! ”

Ye Hua said with a smile, Li Gu's expression became more and more solemn, "Master Hou, could it be that you have the foresight and have already prepared?" ”

"Not bad!"

Ye Hua laughed and said: "Li Xianggong, Han Tong led the troops into Yizhou, he found gunpowder, and also found artillery, do you know this?" ”

"I know, of course I know, isn't this leaked by Hou Yi's old horseman?"

Ye Hua shook his head and said: "Hou Yike didn't admit it, he, and his nephews, only said that they wanted Shu to leak some military information, but in terms of weapons, they never revealed the slightest news, because they didn't know either." ”

"yes!"

Li Gu smiled slightly embarrassedly, "Then, who will be exposed?" ”

Ye Hua said: "This is a big deal, fortunately, Han Tong kept an eye on it, and after he entered the Bashu Palace, he immediately sealed a batch of account books...... Not much, there were more than two dozen boxes, and he had already sent someone in advance to deliver the things to me. At the same time, I have been checking this batch of accounts, and I already have an eyebrow. ”

Ye Hua said, sighing: "Li Xianggong, I really don't know if I don't check, I'm shocked when I check it!" Meng Chang is a fool, there are countless moths hidden around him, and the person next to his pillow is the biggest inner ghost, and he also has the ...... of the Great Zhou" Ye Hua said, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Li Xianggong, all the tricks we used against the Southern Tang Dynasty were all used in Shu Kingdom, and they were more delicate and bold, speaking of which, the skills of behind-the-scenes planning are still above you and me!" ”

Ye Hua shook his head and said: "If such a person can use his mind to seek the country, he must be the pillar of the imperial court, but unfortunately, but he is used to seek wealth for himself, then it should be cut with a thousand knives!" ”

"Li Xianggong, do you say yes!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Gu replied in a hurry, but his sideburns were already sweating.

"What's the matter, Lee Sang-gong is not feeling well?" Ye Hua said with concern.

Li Gu nodded hurriedly, "The old man is weak and came in a hurry, so he sweats, and he is useless when he is old!" ”

"Hahaha, Li Xianggong is polite, the DPRK and China can't do without an old man like you." Ye Hua gave Senior Brother Li Xi a look, "You send Li Xianggong back to rest for me, let him rest assured, I will take care of things!" ”

Li Xian comprehended, and immediately said: "Li Xianggong, I happen to have something to ask you, some time ago, I got a batch of keels, engraved with strange marks, I am only shallow in learning, and I can't see the details, so I can only ask your old man for help!" Li Xi almost took Li Gu down by escorting the prisoners......
