Chapter XXVII
Naturally, some people choose to surrender, and some people choose to resist to the death, but it is just a matter of proportional numbers.
Among them is the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Han Qian sent soldiers to help when he learned that Su Zhe had returned to Beijing. But Su Zhe still planned to die in the activity of saving Su Li, and then the Prime Minister's Mansion sent secret guards three times and twice to rob the prison to save Su Li, but they all ended in failure.
Su Yu couldn't bear it, and when he wanted to ask Prime Minister Han Qian, the prime minister was righteous and awe-inspiring, and before Su Yu could confess the crime, he crashed to death on the Jinluan Palace. Before he died, he also left a sentence: "I, Han Qian, will never be a minister of chaos and thieves, and I vow to live and die with the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”
This incident was recorded in the annals of history by historians, and later generations mostly took it as an example for loyal ministers. Of course, this is a later story, and this matter is also what Su Li said when he listened to the gossip of the jailer on death row.
After the death of the prime minister, the entire prime minister's mansion was naturally connected. But something surprising happened, just when everyone thought that the Prime Minister's Mansion must be seized, Han Yuxuan, the son of the Prime Minister, who had always been known as a gentleman, let Su Yu absolve Su Yu of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as this incident came out, the people of the entire Luoyang City were shocked.
What's even more amazing is that three days later, all the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion disappeared mysteriously, along with the Prime Minister's body.
This incident made everyone forget for a while that the country had already changed hands, and they all attracted attention to this matter.
When Su Li knew about this, although he was also surprised, he knew that this matter should come from the prime minister's son, Han Yuxuan.
This incident happened the day before Su Li's death, and Su Li sighed at that time, although the prime minister was dead, at least he saved the lives of the loyal martyrs of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Young Master Li?" Lin Qingyun looked at Su Li with some concern.
Su Li came back to his senses in an instant, and couldn't help but sigh a little, many memories of his previous life can't be thought about, otherwise he will easily fall into it and can't extricate himself.
"Li Gongzi, are you okay?"
Su Li shook his head and smiled: "The one who wants to marry you must be a playboy." ”
Lin Qingyun nodded helplessly, biting her lower lip lightly, as if she was a little embarrassed.
"If Miss Lin really doesn't want to go back like this, then let's stay. If it's getting late today, the girl should go back to her room early to rest. Su Li had already noticed that the two secret guards had returned, thinking that Xie Tong's affairs had progressed, so he wanted Lin Qingyun to leave early.
Lin Qingyun said happily: "Okay, thank you son." ”
After Lin Qingyun left, Su Li hurriedly opened the window, and the window moved slightly, and two more figures appeared in the room.
Su Li closed the window, walked straight to the table and sat down, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Yes, after the two of us checked. The prince of the Marquis of Eastern Chu appeared in Jinling City because an unnamed mine was discovered outside the city. Ming Xuan said.
"Mine?" Su Li took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically.
Mingchen said: "That's right, it's also iron ore." Because the mountain was very barren and had no owner. Therefore, the prince of Eastern Chu wanted to take that mountain for himself through secret channels. ”
"Lord Chen, who is in charge of this piece of Jinling land, has a distant relative working under him. As soon as he heard that someone wanted the barren and ownerless mountain, he turned his head on it. Thinking that this land has no intention of being taken care of, and it has been abandoned for a long time. The other party made a high bid, so he wanted to secretly sell the mountain and take the silver for himself. ”
Su Li listened quietly, she had heard of it in her previous life, this Lord Chen was a rare Qing official, but she didn't expect that there was a superb relative under her hands.
He and the prince of Eastern Chu agreed to trade under an ancient tree outside the south gate on the outskirts of the city three days later. ”
Su Li put down the teacup and thought deeply, what does Xie Tong want this mine to do, she can probably guess that it is nothing more than secretly making weapons.
"Isn't there anyone else who wants to buy this mountain?" Su Li asked, with the doubts in his heart.
It stands to reason that the news of the discovery of a mine cannot be concealed for a long time, and there should be many people who will pay a high price to compete for secretly.
Ming Xuan replied: "The two subordinates also think it is very strange about this matter, but it is like the prince of the Eastern Chu Marquis knew the news in advance, and he took the first action before the others arrived in Jinling. ”
Mingchen was a little puzzled: "Could it be that after the prince of Eastern Chu learned about this, he spread false news to others and deliberately misled them that they couldn't get to Jinling?"
"It's possible, but it's not possible to not even have a buyer to compete with. It's more credible if there are one or two competing with it, but it's a coincidence that there is no one, which makes people feel strange. Mingxuan explained.
Mingchen retorted: "What if the prince of Eastern Chu kills the person who wants to compete with him in advance?"
"Then you see that the two of us have been investigating for so long today, have you found any murders or anything like that?"
Mingchen shook his head.
Indeed, even if it is a murder, it is impossible not to find any signs, not to mention that Su Li knows it. Xie Tong is a self-righteous person, thinking that he is very powerful, but in fact, he thinks too highly of himself. So, even if the two guards believed that he had killed someone and hid it, she would never believe it.
How could a person with such ambition and talent pay attention to these details.
Su Li intuitively felt that this matter was not so simple, and the coincidence in this kind of coincidence itself seemed strange, and it would not be a game set up by someone.
When this thought appeared, Su Li himself felt that he was stunned, who would be full to support such a game, and he didn't know what the purpose of that person was to do this.
In order to bring down the Marquis of Eastern Chu?
Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help but shake his head, and he was a little speechless.
"What happened to this matter, I will find out when I go to the trading place three days later. If it's a game, she also has to see who set it up.
"Yes. The two guards replied in unison.
What happened made Su Li look forward to it.
Three days later, at night, Su Li and the others came to the trading place in advance and hid in the secret place around the ancient tree.
After a while, a man had already arrived under the ancient tree.
Su Li quietly observed from the tree by the light of the torch in this person's hand, this person was dressed in a gray robe, and looked like a scholar, but he looked around tremblingly.
Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he only vaguely felt that this person was slightly hunchbacked, and even with that bookish anger, it became extremely sour and rancid.
Su Li shook his head secretly, thinking that this was Lord Chen's superb distant relative.
At this moment, a team of people came, and Su Li didn't have to think about it to know that it would take so many people to buy a mountain so vigorously. You don't have to think about it to know that this person is Xie Tong, the son of the Marquis of Eastern Chu.
I saw Xie Tong dressed in a brocade dress, riding his sweaty BMW tremblingly, and came over leisurely with a group of subordinates.
Su Li secretly rolled his eyes, sure enough, not everyone can change. The person in front of him is still the same as before. The same self-righteousness, the same ...... Flatter yourself.
Yes, Xie Tong, who was known as the first beautiful man in Luoyang City in his previous life, is a person who likes to show off himself very much, and he also likes to show mercy everywhere. is a person that Su Li hates very much, because this person had calculated her in his previous life.
Although he is known as the most beautiful man in Luoyang, half of the reason for this title is because he has shown up too many times, and on the other hand, he has let his subordinates pass it on. Spread it and spread it, and it becomes true.
But he does have a decent skin, and it's okay to confuse ordinary girls.
Su Li complained several times in his heart, but his face still did not change, and he quietly looked at the few people under the ancient tree.
"Is the title deed of that mountain ready?" Xie Tong had already dismounted at this time, and the tone of a noble son.
The other party leaned his back slightly, and said very respectfully: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all ready." The man hurriedly took the title deed out of his bosom.
"Childe, look. The man unfolded the title deed and showed it to Xie Tong.
Xie Tong just wanted to take it over to see what was going on, but the other party took the piece of paper back, although there was a smile on his face, but there was a sense of vigilance in his eyes.
"Hey~ Childe, I said that I would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, look at this ......"
The man wanted to speak and stopped, but Xie Tong had already understood what he meant. Impatiently said: "Come on, take out the 100,000 taels of silver tickets and give it to him." ”
Su Li secretly said to himself, 100,000 taels? Xie Shizi is so generous. Generally, a mountain is enough for only a few thousand taels of silver, and it is no wonder that this person would risk being killed and sell it privately.
However, when he thought of the true value of that mountain, Su Li's gaze sank again. It is a big sin to forge weapons in private, but Xie Tong is really not afraid of setting himself on fire.
"Ah......" Just as the two were about to exchange, they heard the man scream.
When Su Li looked over, the man covered his hands and screamed. Several people under the ancient tree were suddenly startled and looked around vigilantly.
Su Li was also shocked, could it be that someone had made a move? Because it was really dark, and the firelight was not bright enough for her to see the surrounding form clearly. So Su Li didn't see the stone that attacked the man just now.
It's just that something was guessed out of the reaction of the crowd.
"Who? Get out of here. Xie Tong said angrily, who would dare to ruin his deal.
Suddenly, a circle of firelight appeared around the periphery of Xie Tong and the others, surrounding the several people who were trading one by one.
Xie Tong's heart suddenly rang with an alarm bell, and he shouted, "Evacuate quickly." ”
But the third team that just appeared was willing to let them go easily.
Everyone roared in unison, and the encirclement was instantly much smaller, and it had changed from one circle to two.
Although Su Li had already discovered these people who had been ambushed a long time ago when she arrived here. But I was still a little shocked to see their well-trained formations. I can't help but wonder more and more about who is behind this?
