Chapter 0457 - Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess
In Bianliang in early April and summer, the climate is warm and pleasant, the green branches of a tree on both sides of Bianhe Street flutter with the evening breeze, and wisps of smoke gradually rise on the roofs of the houses in the alleys in the distance. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The banks of the Bianhe River below the banks of the Info River are full of large and small merchant ships, and the traders are busy unloading their goods so that they can go home early.
There are some red and green curtains draped, high red and green lanterns of the boat painting boat wandering in the middle of the river, the vocal music is melodious and pleasant, the tactful and sultry singing lingers in the evening breeze, from time to time there are some singers and dancers standing on the bow of the boat holding the railing to enjoy the scenery, attracting countless boatmen and sailors to watch. The rich merchant couldn't help laughing loudly at this time, and the vassal Fengya boarded the ship, lost his soul overnight, and spent a lot of money.
Li Duoshou completed the task after submitting the letter on behalf of the lord, and it is said that he can return to the northwest, because the little housewife Song Yaozhu is pregnant, and the eldest lady Fu Jinqiong asked her to raise a fetus at home, so that the affairs of the Military Intelligence Department and the Pedestrian Department have no time to ask, and Bian Ji's firm was also officially merged into Huihe at the beginning of the year, and Li Duoshou came back to help.
After dealing with the trivial matters of the business house for a day, Li Duoshou sat in a carriage and walked slowly under the weeping willow trees on the side of the street, enjoying the lively scene with the curtains open, accustomed to the desolation of the border plug, and every time he returned to Tokyo, there was always a sense of freshness that he had not seen for a long time. When I arrived at Chau Bridge, a group of seven or eight-year-old children with hanging buns suddenly rushed out of the street and alley in front of them, joking with each other and reciting a miscellaneous poem that did not conform to the rhythm repeatedly.
"Don't go wrong in life, and current affairs are even more chaotic. Persuade the gentleman to drink wine and enjoy the flowers, and try to see the butcher sitting in the world. ”
This poem is a bit nondescript, Li Duoshou laughed dumbly when he heard it, and sighed in his heart, who is a child who can learn such crooked poetry, it is really ridiculous and generous. But subconsciously followed the silent chanting twice, and suddenly froze, and couldn't help but froze.
"Parking! Le Yanwen! Did you hear that? Li Duoshou shouted, it was Le Pingyang's cousin who was driving in front of him, because he was in the Military Intelligence Department, out of Bian Ji's instructions, he took the initiative to send his cousin Le Yanwen to Zhang Yue's side to increase trust, and now he has also made his own soldiers.
"Hear what?" Le Yanwen was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and the young people paid attention to the charming style of the painting boat on the Bianhe River, and they didn't pay attention to the group of children in front of them at all.
Li Duoshou shook his head, saw that the carriage stopped, got out of the carriage by himself, reached out in his arms and felt a string of copper coins to dissolve, smiled and walked to the group of children and threw it out, the children were laughing, and they were a little daze when they saw the copper coins, and they all stopped and looked at Li Duoshou, and then looked at the copper coins on the ground, and wanted to pick them up but didn't dare.
"This little brother, what kind of poem did you chant just now! It must have been taught by the gentleman, right? Li Duoshou smiled gently, reached out to stroke the child's head, and said schemingly.
"Not really!" The child knocked off his big hand and shouted, "There is an old merchant who comes here every day to sell little candy people, and as long as he can recite poetry, he will give him food......
"Oh...... I see! These copper coins are for you to buy food! Li Duoshou didn't bother to pick it up, and he couldn't ask anything from the mouth of a group of children, turned around and walked to the carriage again, and saw that Le Yanwen was still fluting, so he ordered: "Go to Yang Ji Silk Village!" ”
The carriage started again and sped up, crossed the Zhou Bridge to the east street entrance of Xiangguo Temple and turned north, and soon arrived at the front of Yang Ji Silk Village located at the crossroads, Li Duoshou got off the car and walked inside, passed the front shop hall and entered the back courtyard, and when Yang Wan came out, he stopped and asked: "Have you gone out recently?" There is a miscellaneous poem circulating in the market, have you heard it? ”
"Don't go wrong in life?" Yang Wanyi chanted directly, and sneered again: "Why haven't you heard of it?" It was in the limelight in February, but it changed later, and now I am afraid that the officials in Tokyo know about it, but unfortunately they have not been able to find the source. Mrs. asked to suppress this matter for the time being, and then deal with it when the lord returned to Beijing. ”
"You wouldn't have found the slightest clue, would you? Is there anything inconvenient to say? Li Duoshou was also very curious, and guessed in his heart, I don't know who is behind the trick, what is the purpose of doing this to him, and what is the purpose?
"Li Yiyin sent his uncle Li Renxiu to Beijing last winter to ask for surrender, you should know, right?" Yang Wan didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Could it be that they did it, but the people are still there?" Li Duoshou was surprised for a while, this Li Renxiu is simply taking death!
Li Renxiu just started up, thinking that someone was behind the scenes, because the rumor was still very vague at the beginning, and he didn't know what to do, and then gradually pointed to the lord. However, Li Renxiu is still imprisoned in the Honglu Temple Guest House for the time being, and now the heads of the entire Li family have been sent to the emperor, and this person will be beheaded if he can't say it. Yang Wan replied.
"I'm afraid not necessarily! The entire Li clan was executed, and the emperor is likely to leave this person to appease the party Xiang Qiang, and we must get rid of him. Li Duoshou looked up at the sky and pondered for a while.
"Isn't that too revealing? But Li Renxiu's status is not low, so if he makes things bigger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up. We're watching, we've been screening officials who have been in contact with him, but haven't identified anyone suspicious. Yang Wan was apprehensive and said with some concern.
"Your work efficiency is too low, you haven't found out for a few months, it's better to cut through the mess quickly, since this person is the source of the rumors, even if everyone suspects that we did it, he is a damned person! If this rumor does not stop after this incident, then we have to find a way. Of course, those who are fueling the flames must also be dug up. By the way, the lord asked you to keep an eye on Zhao Pu, what is the movement of this person? ”
"Didn't he go south with Zhao Kuangyin? I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary! However, Zhao Jiazaburo made up for the direct east class in the palace not long ago, and he has been quite active recently, and often goes to Panlou with some officers in front of the palace to ask for wine. Yang Wan thought about it and replied.
"Oh? Isn't the inner temple straight east class a subordinate of Ma Renyu? The emperor has gone out to fight, and he should be on duty in Zhongshu Province and the Chongyuan Palace......" Li Duoshou had no impression of Zhao San, but felt that Liu Congzhi was suspicious, because this person had always been at odds with the lord, but he was the emperor's family, so he didn't make too much trouble, and after thinking about it, he said: "As long as you think it is suspicious, you will continue to stare at it, in addition, I need some manpower, and Li Renxiu must be solved within three days." ”
"This ...... Do you want to tell Madame? "Yang Wan is only responsible for controlling and monitoring, exploring and collecting all kinds of gossip, and does not exercise the right to persuade.
"No need! The stakes are so important that you can't press it anymore, and you will report it directly to the lord! Li Duoshou waved his hand and decided to implement it in the near future, because he had heard that the emperor was ready to leave for Beijing, so he didn't know if he knew about it, and it would be too passive to delay it any longer.
At present, there are no competent people in Tokyo to sit on the council, Le Pingyang went to Hebei, Liu Guangsi went to various places in Taiyuan, Hedong, and He Ju went to Nantang with Li Deliang. The only person available was Shan Baozhong, and then he said: "Send someone to Sangjia Wazi, please ask Shan Baozhong to come over immediately." (To be continued.) )
