Although Li Gang's death had long been expected by Li Zhishi, when he heard the news, a faint regret still rose in his heart.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, this kind of thought was somewhat unrelieved in Li Zhishi's mind.

And if Li Zhishi still looks at this matter from an outsider's perspective, then Ouyang Che is really a little unacceptable to the news of Li Gang's death.

"Brother Li! Brother Li! After Li Zhishi had calmed down, Ouyang Che came to the door excitedly, of course, this excitement is more appropriate to call it anger.

"Brother Ouyang, you really came." Li Zhishi smiled faintly, then asked the xylophone to pour him a glass of water, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Brother Li already knew I was coming? Yes, did Brother Li also know the news of Li Xiang's death? Ouyang Che asked eagerly.

"Well, I just got the message, too." Li Zhishi nodded.

Ouyang Che was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Then how can Brother Li still calm down, now it is rumored that Li Xiang was killed by traitorous ministers, and as soon as Li Xiang dies, the Jin people will come in!" These people are too rampant, Li Xiang has already resigned, and they are still going to kill them all! ”

"Rumors are not credible." Ouyang Che's words made Li Zhishi's brows furrow: "Brother Ouyang, don't say such a thing in front of others, now that you have an official position, you should be even more cautious in your words and deeds." ”

"......"

Ouyang Che was a little anxious, but before he could say anything, he was directly interrupted by Li Zhishi, "It's nothing, although Li Xiang's death is indeed strange, don't spread rumors until there is definite evidence, otherwise the Son of Heaven will be angry, let alone you, I'm afraid I won't even be able to withstand my head." ”

"Even if I don't want this official uniform, I must investigate this matter thoroughly and seek justice for Li Xiang!" Ouyang Che didn't listen to Li Zhishi's words, his stubbornness that belonged to the literati was not smoothed out by officialdom affairs after all, even if he wanted to write a sparse performance to the Son of Heaven.

This time, Li Zhishi didn't continue to stop him, but just shook his head slightly and said: "Shu Yue can be written, but don't add trumped-up charges to it, otherwise what is the difference between us and those traitors?" ”

Ouyang Che immediately agreed, "That's natural, I Ouyang Che doesn't bother to do such a small thing, since Brother Li already knows, then Che will leave, and tomorrow at the latest, Che will write a good song and hand it over." After saying that, he stood up and walked out the door.

"Please also ask Brother Ouyang to keep in mind what Li said, and think twice before acting." Li Zhishi also stood up, and then sent it to the door, and waited until he couldn't see his figure before turning to look at the fat man who had just returned.

"Done?"

"That's it." The fat man nodded, "All the people have been sent out of the city, and the nearest is at least three days away from Nanjing City." ”

The fat man's answer was more rigorous, because this time Li Zhishi asked him to do something that was not easy, and the aftermath after the matter was completed was the most important thing, if one person went wrong, then it would bring them an extremely passive situation.

Seeing the fat man's nervous face, Li Zhishi smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I asked you to send them away just to avoid unnecessary trouble, and I will throw you out to calm the anger up and down." ”

“？？？” The fat man was stunned in an instant, he thought that Li Zhishi was going to say something to make him feel relieved, but he didn't expect it to be like this?

These words are naturally a joke, in fact, under Li Zhishi's repeated advice, the fat man never showed his face in front of those people at all, even if all those people were found, and they all came out to identify them, it was useless.

"Now that the Lord and the faction are strong, even if Zhao Gou wants to ask for peace, but out of control of his own authority, he will definitely find an opportunity to knock them, and now we have given him such an opportunity." Looking at the fat man's pitiful appearance, Li Zhishi finally gave an explanation.

Before Li Gang died, the general trend was on the side of the main and faction, so although Li Gang and Chen Dong of the main battle faction could still take the lead, Li Zhishi did not choose to do it.

But now that Li Gang has died, compared with the too weak main battle faction, the main and the faction under the leadership of Huang Qianshan is really powerful and terrifying, and Zhao Gou will definitely use ruthless means to suppress it in order to prevent his own power from being hollowed out.

And this rumor that suddenly spread among the people of Nanjing City was an excuse he gave to Zhao Gou.

Since he wants to suppress the main peace faction, then he will definitely use the main battle faction, which is also the reason why he did not stop Ouyang Che from playing on the table, after all, at this time, there are definitely a lot of people in the court who wrote to impeach Huang Qianshan and others, you must know that Yushi Zhang Suo is an old man of Li Gang's family, maybe now the other party's impeachment is already on Zhao Gou's desk.

In fact, the matter has come to this, Ouyang Che's rise has become inevitable, as the last student disciple recommended by Li Gang before his death, in this situation, he will definitely be used by Zhao Gou as a weapon to suppress the Lord and faction.

Even if Chen Dong came, on the top of the main battle faction, he could only intersect with Ouyang Che's peers.

But that's not enough. Looking at the waning sun, Li Zhishi's expression was extremely solemn, like an ascetic monk seeking holiness.

……

……

"It's finally here."

In an inn in Nanjing City, Tang Qi shook his head and sighed, at this time, more than ten days have passed since they accepted Chen Dong's task, from the beginning of the forced breakthrough, to the pursuit of hiding and trembling, their experience along the way is almost the same as the 80,000-mile Long March, gnawing tree bark and eating grass roots in the last part of the road has become the norm.

"We can't relax now." Among the three, although the right to speak has declined, Zhu Cheng, who is still the captain after all, said solemnly, and his caution as a strategist has allowed them to avoid many dangers they may encounter along the way.

"Yes, we can't relax until we send the calligraphy and painting to Li Gang and start the next task." Zhu Cheng's voice was lost, and Luo Can on the side nodded, at this moment, she had become a handsome teenager under the short hair of a woman dressed as a man.

"Well, I just don't know what happened to those three people, even we are already like this, they must be more than lucky." At this time, Tang Qi suddenly thought of Li Zhishi and the three of them, and there was a sigh in his tone, because in his opinion, only when the three people who had really acted as bait for a short time encountered an ambush and could not resist it, those officers and soldiers would turn around and round them up.

"If you make such a short-sighted choice for the sake of a pseudo-bronze prop, then you can only consider yourself unlucky." Tang Qi sighed, even if the three of them are still alive now, without receiving the alternative task issued by Chen Dong, they still can't jump out of the pit with the original main line, and in the next mission process, the hope of survival is even more slim.

"The three?" Zhu Cheng frowned when he heard Tang Qi's words, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but at this moment, he didn't have a comfortable environment to zero in and reorganize it all and then calculate, he couldn't do the kind of formal strategists who could win a thousand miles in a conversation, so all these calculations could only start after they completed the first step of this continuous task.

Since this was decided, the next moment, Zhu Chengcheng waved his hand and beckoned Xiao Er over.

"Eh, the guest officer is here, what are your orders?"

Zhu Cheng quietly took out a few copper plates from his sleeve and asked: "Little brother, I want to ask, what has happened in Nanjing City recently, and where is the Prime Minister's Mansion, a steward in the Prime Minister's Mansion is my fellow villager, and we came to seek refuge with him this time." ”

There are often people in the inn who ask him for news, so Xiao Er is also familiar with receiving the copper plate in his hand, but after listening to Zhu Cheng's inquiry, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at a few people with pity.

"Recently, the biggest change in Nanjing is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, listen to the boy's advice, you had better pack up and return quickly."

"Why is that?" An ominous premonition rose in Zhu Cheng's heart.

Xiao Er shook his head and sighed, then lowered his voice and said, "Why?" In fact, you can go out and ask anyone. ”

"Our undefeated general Li Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty spread the news today that he died of illness, but this matter is obviously very strange, because at the same time as the news came out, all the people in his mansion were arrested, and I heard that they were locked up in a prison and interrogated."

"So let's go, most of your fellow villagers have already been arrested, and if you are implicated with them, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape when the time comes!"
