Chapter 158: Hostage? (Ask for subscription)
Outside, the street was bustling with people, and the noise came in through the screen windows.
This room is a post-meditation room in Longfu Temple. Longfu Temple is located in Renjubo, close to Miyagi and near Dong'anmen. The eunuchs in the palace often come here to make incense and make vows, and make appointments to meet their families. Longfu Temple is also prosperous because of this. At this time, there were only two people in the room, one sitting and one standing.
Li Xiaoquan gently picked up the tea cup and used the lid to play with the tiny tea stalks inside. The fragrant mist rises, and the nose is full of fragrance. I blew and took a long breath, and my mind couldn't help but get lost in the fragrance. The Wuyi mountain tea left in this Longfu Temple is really of the highest quality! The tribute tea in the palace, although it is also Wuyi Valley rain tea, but it always feels like something is missing, only in this Longfu Temple, can you drink fresh Gu rain tea every time. That kind of fragrance can always remind people of their hometown and the scenery of Wuyi Mountain that is sunny after the rain.
Seeing Li Xiaoquan's intoxicated look out of the corner of his eye, Habo, who had just finished reporting Xiao Lin's situation, had no choice but to be silent.
Li Xiaoquan slowly put down the teacup, and his confused eyes suddenly became clear.
"Ma Shun, that kid simply doesn't take our family seriously, and he is becoming more and more disagreeable, and he dares to kill the chess pieces carefully planted by our family."
Habo glanced up at Li Xiaoquan, saw that his face was gloomy, and lowered his head again.
"And where are you now?" Li Xiaoquan asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”
"Exactly." Harbour looked up and replied, "I'm afraid he has retreated after this incident. ”
"After entering the East Factory, is there still a way to retire?" Li Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Dongchang knows those people, only he Xiao Lin. Although we know one, we can't ask our family to follow them, right? What's more, they already know our identity. ”
"Gonggong Li laughed, how dare his subordinates have such thoughts?" Habo also smiled and said busily: "The subordinates will definitely make him change his mind." ”
"That brocade guard is his neighbor?" Li Xiaoquan asked in surprise, "Why didn't he find out?" ”
"The subordinates also felt strange. Judging from the subordinates fighting him, that guy is good. Brother Xiao is a cautious person, since he can hide under his nose for so long, it can be seen that the guy should have known Brother Xiao's identity for a long time. ”
After Li Xiaoquan heard what Habo said, he couldn't help but nodded, and said in contemplation: "That guy's surname is Shen? ”
Harbour nodded.
"There is a person surnamed Shen." Li Xiaoquan nodded and said: "Our family once got a list of defects, it was a submarine spy sent by Jinyiwei, our family didn't think so before, it seems that our family underestimated that Ma Shun!" ”
Spy? Could it be that Jinyiwei and our East Factory are so incompatible?
"You don't have to be so surprised, they have always been pressed by our East Factory, and there are still some small tricks in secret." Li Xiaoquan frowned and said: "Although it is a small means, it always knocks on the critical joints of our East Factory. ”
Xiao Lin is an important pawn this time, although there is no progress at present, but once he is taken away by those people, the effect will be immeasurable! But at this critical juncture, this brocade guard actually came out! "Are we going to make trouble with the brocade guards and make them pay some price for this?"
"How?" Li Xiaoquan knew that Habo was a rough man with a straight intestine, that is, because he was a rough person, so he admitted to death, and for the sake of his brother, let him die, he would go. This kind of coarse person is often the most unruly person in his eyes, and Li Xiaoquan never hides anything in front of him.
"Since we know that he is Jinyiwei, we should look for Na Ma Shun." Harbour muttered.
"Looking for Ma Shun?" Li Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "Ma Shun asked you, how can you be sure that this old Shen is the son of Jinyi Wei?" ”
"This ......, doesn't Gonggong Li have a list in his hand?"
"List? Won't it be faked? ”
"This ......," Habbo was silent. Do you need a reason for this? As long as he thinks it's his person, he can call the door, and he asks why? Who is a spy who will write which part of himself is on his face? The reason is that we are the East Factory!
Looking at Habo's appearance, Li Xiaoquan knew the abacus in his heart, and said with a smile: "Do you think we can knock on the door without any reason?" So what has become of our East Factory? Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and so is Dongchang, all of whom are against those poor acids. We and Jinyiwei are just brothers, and those poor people regard us as enemies. ”
That being said, what is there to fight for? Habo didn't speak, he felt a little disdainful in his heart, he really wanted to die to save face!
"Let's not fight, Jinyiwei wants to fight, they don't want to be pressed under our East Factory for the rest of their lives, and they will pick up the leftovers of our East Factory in everything." Li Xiaoquan nodded and said, "This time Xiao Lin's matter, we have to find Ma Shun to ask for an explanation." ”
"Old Shen is dead." Harbour said busily.
"Got it, you've already told our family before."
Harbour couldn't help but be stunned, the perpetrator was dead, and the victim was disheartened and half-dead, how could this be said?
Li Xiaoquan looked at Habo's strange expression, smiled, and said slowly: "Brother Ha, our family told you that a few days ago, your brother was rewarded by the emperor again. ”
When Habo heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said: "These are all the merits of Gonggong Li's words in front of the prince, and his subordinates must not forget Gonggong Li's great kindness." ”
Li Xiaoquan hurriedly pulled Habo up and said with a smile: "Look at you, look at you, some little things, how can you kneel." Our family also saw you two brothers, who have served in the palace for many years, and if you don't help out, you can't talk about it. ”
Habo said excitedly: "This is still the love of Gonggong Li and Wang Gonggong for their subordinates. ”
"Okay, okay, we're just telling you." Li Xiaoquan saw that Habo's gratitude was overflowing, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "That Xiao Lin is currently living in your house, and you have to take care of your life." ”
When Habo heard this, he hurriedly slapped the ** loudly and said, "The subordinates must take care of the Xiao brothers." ”
Li Xiaoquan nodded and said, "Although we don't make a move on those people, we must grasp their whereabouts. Brother Xiao's task has to continue, you can comfort him, you still have to do what you have to do! The child is fostered in the East Factory. Let the Xiao brothers have no worries. ”
Habo couldn't help but be stunned, let him foster the child in the East Factory? Isn't this overtly hostage? Will the Shaw Brotherhood agree? It's good if he doesn't work hard, and I still want him to carry out the mission. He opened his mouth to say something.
Li Xiaoquan waved his hand and said, "That's it, Brother Ha, you go back now." Say hello to his sister-in-law on your brother's behalf. ”
Hearing Li Xiaoquan mention his brother, his open mouth couldn't help but close again, and he turned around and went out helplessly.
Li Xiaoquan smiled and picked up the teacup, but found that the tea was cold, and put down the cup again......
Miyagi, Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager Zhang, accompanied by her daughters-in-law Sun and Wu, was gossiping. There was the singing of female officials outside, and the emperor arrived.
Qi Boer walked in with two green clothes, one tall and one short, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Empress Dowager Sun and Concubine Wu were both here with the Empress Dowager. Don't the queen mother and the concubine usually live in Renshou Palace? Why did they all come to Cining Palace today? Could it be that what happened to the Empress Dowager?
He stepped forward, knelt down skillfully, and said, "Grandson greets the Empress Dowager, and sons greet the Empress Dowager and the Concubine!" ”
"Alright, alright, please be safe in the future, don't kneel around like this." The Empress Dowager Zhang raised her hand and said with a smile: "Zhen'er is here, I'm afraid it's not as simple as asking for peace, right?" ”
"The Empress Dowager", Qi Boer hurriedly got up and sneered: "Grandson is really here to ask for peace." ”
"Isn't your grandmother aware of your little thoughts?" The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "You must have come to inquire about the tax exemption of the two ki that you said last time." ”
Qi Boer hurriedly bowed down and said: "The Empress Dowager is really discerning, and her grandson is really here to inquire about this matter." ”
"Look at it, look at it," the Empress Dowager Zhang turned her head to the Empress Dowager Sun and Concubine Wu who were sitting on both sides, and said with a smile: "The town that cried nose back then has begun to think a little bit now." ”
Empress Dowager Sun always had a calm face, without a trace of smile, and when she heard the Empress Dowager's words, she only curled the corners of her mouth, but a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. It was the Empress Dowager Wu, who heard the Empress Dowager's joke, and a flattering smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"The emperor is gifted and intelligent, and the emperor's mental skills can be touched by the like." Concubine Wu said.
As soon as she heard this, the Empress Dowager's face sank, and she reprimanded: "What imperial trick? Whether it is his father or grandfather, which one is not sincere and filial piety, and how can he have any mental skills? ”
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was angry, Concubine Wu hurriedly nodded yes. This was not her intention, she just wanted to take advantage of the situation to mention her son Zhu Qiyu...... (To be continued.) )
