Chapter 30: Are You Really Not Lee Kum Kee?
With his head down and bending over, Li Jin, the king of Qi, walked towards the outside of the palace with a dejected look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Li Jin, the king of Qi, walked all the way, and the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides hurriedly got out of the way and saluted, and they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of angering the tyrannical prince. No one noticed, Li Jin, the king of Qi, lowered his head and muttered to himself:
"Boom, old thing! Third! You think that's the end of it? The king should really thank you, this king's plan can finally be carried out smoothly! In a few days, wait a few more days, and this king will arrest you all, peel off your skin and bones, dig out your belly and dig out your heart, and snow the shame you have brought to this king! ”
Pretending to be dejected, Li Jin, the king of Qi, did not return to his house after leaving the palace, but went directly to a green house in Hanquan and called seven or eight famous women in the green house to drink and have fun. After tossing for three or four hours, Li Jin, the king of Qi, still had no intention of leaving, but took these seven or eight Qinglou women back to the house and continued to enjoy themselves, and after a while, the women's laughter and moans came from the house.
next door
Seven or eight people dressed as merchants were staying in the room, two were lying on the wall, their ears were stuck to the wall listening to the voices from the other side, and the other five were sitting there expressionless.
"Lord Gan, except for the girls on the other side, it is the laughter of His Royal Highness King Qi, and there is no abnormality. Is it to arrange a brother to go directly to the roof to have a look? A man finished his eavesdropping mission and walked up to the man in charge and asked.
Frowning, Lord Gan thought for a long time before he spoke, "Don't do this, how can you say that you are also a prince, and you are noble." We have been monitoring for a long time, and we can probably guess anything inside, and we have checked the room next door in advance, and there is no secret room. If you take a sneak peek, the matter will be exposed, and we will all have to lose our heads for the sake of the face of the heavenly family." After that, Lord Gan ordered his subordinates to be divided into three shifts to keep watch all the time, and sent one of his subordinates to pretend to be a small servant and knock on the door every other hour to find out the truth.
Three hours later, Li Jin, the king of Qi with a blue face and vain steps, left the Qinglou surrounded by his men. As soon as he returned to the palace, he heard that the forbidden army was ordered to come to his house to kill people, and Li Jin, the king of Qi, was suddenly frightened and fell to the ground.
After listening to the holy decree read by the eunuchs in the palace, Li Jin, the king of Qi, who was trembling with fright, reluctantly accepted the holy decree with the support of the domestic slaves. "Thank you, father-in-law, Xiao Wang will definitely obey his father's will and cultivate his self-cultivation", respectfully sent away the eunuch who sent the decree, and Li Jin, the king of Qi, was like a mess of mud and had to be supported by his subordinates to go back to the house to rest.
With the arrival of a large number of palace guards, the atmosphere of the Qi Palace's mansion changed instantly: the subordinates and cooks who were lucky enough to escape did not dare to breathe, lowered their heads, worked cautiously and did not dare to make a sound, and walked and trotted, for fear of touching the moldy head and causing death.
At lunch, a maid carrying a bowl of sea cucumber porridge took small steps to the bedroom of Li Jin, the king of Qi, who was lying on the bed wrapped in a quilt and shivering. Waving his hand to signal the maid to put down the eggs, Qi King Li Jin's face suddenly changed, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the surrounding movements.
At this time, Li Jin, the king of Qi, looked shrewd and capable, how could he be half sick and frightened. After making sure that there was no one in the house, Li Jin, the king of Qi, trembled, barely crawled out of the bed, and staggered to the table to eat.
Trembling and eating porridge, Li Jin, the king of Qi, glanced around from time to time, and after making sure that no one was peeping around, he ate the porridge in a few bites. At the moment when he put the bowl on the table, the left hand holding the bottom of the bowl suddenly retracted his fingers, and then continued to shiver back to the bed.
That night, the palace steward found Gan Xiong, who was in charge of the internal guard, and said that Li Jin, the king of Qi, had a delicious mouth and wanted to drink some chicken soup stewed by the old hen raised in the manor outside the city. The latter thought for a moment and agreed, and did not send an internal guard to follow.
Early the next morning, Wu Tianli, the chef of the palace, left the palace with a small burden on his back and drove a carriage to the Qi Wangfu Manor outside the city.
"The military advisor is really like a god, this Li Jin really has a problem" In a tea shed near the Qi Palace, the generals who had been keeping an eye on the Qi Palace's Mansion saw Wu Tianli's figure, sneered and checked out and followed.
Driving the carriage, he first went to the nearby street to buy a few seasonal vegetables, and relied on the identity of the Qi Wangfu to get a few taels of silver as a kickback, and Wu Tianli did not pass through the west gate of Hanquan until noon. At this moment:
A group of vegetable vendors were about to enter the city with their burdens, but Wu Tianli suddenly sped up and deliberately knocked down several vegetable vendors, and deliberately stopped the car to sneer at the vegetable vendors. The latter was furious, jumping to beat someone, Wu Tianli was "not afraid", put on his identity as the chef of the Qi Palace, and actually took the lead.
The vegetable seller couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up the flat pole and beat it, and Ximen suddenly became a mess, and countless people gathered around to watch the excitement, pushing the soldiers who wanted to maintain order to the side.
"Hehe, what a smart guy, it's a pity that it's still a little tender, and the eldest brother of the general will follow me" Meng Qiu suddenly smiled, pointed to the carriage and pulled the general away, and the latter was stunned and looked at what Meng Qiu was pointing at:
Taking advantage of the chaos at the West Gate, a thin man climbed into Wu Tianli's carriage from behind, and reached out to touch a basket of cabbage. Then the man jumped out of the carriage and walked silently through the west gate towards the outside of the city.
I saw that this thin man was wearing a coarse dark blue cotton robe, black and white-soled cotton shoes, with his hair scattered and dressed quite cleanly.
The thin man was very careful, pretending to squat down from time to time to pick up things and rest, to check if anyone was following behind him, and Meng Qiu and the generals followed cautiously.
After walking for three hours, a large open field suddenly appeared in front of him, and a manor house sat in the southeast corner of the farmland.
The courtiers made a gesture and found a place to hide, and Meng Qiu watched from afar as the thin man walked into the manor.
"Brother General, I remember that there is a manor of our prince near here, right?" Touching his chin, Meng Qiu asked, and the latter nodded.
Standing up and staring at the manor in the distance, Meng Qiu had a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Brother General, let's go to the manor to rest for a while, and by the way, inquire about this neighbor!" ”。
"Are you sure that manor is not owned by King Lee Kum Kee of Qi?" Meng Qiu asked with a puzzled face, and the manor steward hurriedly bowed, saying that he didn't dare to deceive the adults.
"Tsk, that's interesting, you send someone back to the city right away. Let's just say that I invite the prince to come to the manor outside the city to play and play 'Visiting the door'! ”
