"I see, I really didn't expect such a thing to happen......"

When Xie An and Gou Gong sent Su Wan's master and servant back to the Lu family in Nangong Mansion, Mo Fei had already come to Xie An's mansion to report to the second lady of the mansion, Changsun Xiangyu, what he had seen and heard in today's surveillance.

"I really don't know the heavens and the earth, the royal family of those small countries...... Do a few rich landowners in the countryside think that Jijing is also like their feudal country? Can be unscrupulous? - And then? Did my husband kill those guys? ”

Lowering his head and listening to the banter and ridicule of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Mo Fei lowered his head, a little strange welled up in his heart, thinking about it, he dared to say that the prince of Feng was a rich man in the countryside with a disdainful face, I am afraid that there is only the housewife in front of him.

"No!" Hugging his fists, Mo Fei said briefly, "Among the four people, there is one named Li Bo, he said that he moved the adult, therefore, the adult spared their lives, put the four of them in the prison of the Great Prison Temple, and said, let the Eight Sages King Li Xian personally come to pick up people!" ”

Li Bo...... Li Bo, the prince of Qiuyang? The eldest grandson Xiangyu tapped the desk lightly with the jade fan in his hand, nodded and said, "Those few country gentlemen, that is, Li Bo is still a little talented...... Well, so are the crybees, knowing that those guys won't be at peace, but they are still so careless, it seems that they have been too busy to take care of anything else these days...... Mo Fei, what about the woman named Su Wan? ”

"The lord personally sent it back to the Lu family......

Hearing this, a smile flashed in the eldest grandson Xiangyu's beautiful eyes, and he asked jokingly, "Did anything happen during the period?" ”

"......" Mo Fei raised his head, although the black cloth covered his face, he could not see the expression on his face clearly, but it was not difficult to see. He seemed hesitant.

"Huh?" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, glanced at Mo Fei suspiciously.

"No, no......" After hesitating, Mo Fei lowered his head.

"......" glanced at Mo Fei deeply, and the doubts in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu gradually receded, replaced by a somewhat inexplicable smile, looking at Mo Fei and smiling meaningfully, "Warned?" ”

“……”

"Who, it seems? - My husband? ”

“……”

"Well, it looks like it's Gou Gong...... Giggles. It's not in vain that my husband values him like that...... Well, since I feel embarrassed, let's stop this matter, after all, my husband is the master of the family...... It's not too early, so let's go back to the palace first. Oh, by the way, go and send a message to Li Xian......"

"Yes!" Mo Fei arched his hand, then jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

Glancing at the sky outside the window, the eldest grandson Xiangyu played with the jade fan in his hand, with a look of all thoughts.

"Giggles. Wooing the thirty-one Li royal family to split up, it turned out to be this idea, crybaby...... But that's it. You can't tell Li Mao's lone wolf to obey, I hope you still have some tricks hidden, otherwise...... If you can't force Li Mao back, you prime minister. It's better to let the slave family take care of it, giggles...... Hopefully, you've thought of it. The slave family is very busy with housework alone! - Alas, the slave family is really hard, marrying such an unreassuring husband, this marriage is not a few days away, and another ......"

Just when the eldest grandson Xiangyu was feeling sorry for himself in the study of the mansion and pouring bitter water, in the study room of the Xianwang Mansion on Chaoyang Street, Li Xian was sorting out the table full of public under the candlelight, and he was sorting out some decrees that need to be mentioned at the court meeting tomorrow morning.

On the side of the desk, Ji Hong, who had already served as the secretary of the ministry, acted as an assistant to help his master draft the court decree.

Suddenly, the candle flame on the desk flickered, and Ji Hong, who was the first to notice the matter, frowned slightly, and saw that there was an assassin in black in the room at some point, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Guan Zhong is here!" ”

Hearing this, Li Xian raised his head, glanced at the black-clothed assassin standing in front of the desk with his fists in his hands, nodded, still corrected the public, and said casually, "Guan Zhong, didn't Xiao Wang tell you to wait for Mo to act casually in the middle of the night?" ——At night in Jijing, the city is full of people from Jinling and Dongling, and Xiao Wang doesn't want you to have any conflict with them......"

The black-clothed assassin named Guan Zhong tore off the black cloth on his face and arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have sent someone to contact Mo Fei of the Dongling Crowd and Ding Qiu of the Jinling Sect before, saying that our Weidi Assassin will never touch the territory of Jijing, so the Dongling Crowd and the Jinling Crowd will not embarrass us anymore......

"Contacted? Xiao Wang didn't tell you to wait......" Li Xian frowned and raised his head, then seemed to think of something, nodded and said, "Forget it, you also have the rules for waiting...... In this way, it is good to let us know in advance, and there will be no misunderstanding...... Why, come late at night? ”

Hearing this, Guan Zhong hugged his fists and said in a low voice, "Just now, those brothers came back, but they were blocked outside the city because the city gate was closed, so I used the customs clearance token delivered by His Highness to connect those brothers to the city......"

"There is no need to tell Xiao Wang about some small things......" Speaking of this, Li Xian, who had a casual face, seemed to suddenly realize something, raised his head suddenly, looked at Guan Zhong and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, those brothers are back?" ”

"Yes!" Guan Zhong nodded, took a few steps forward, and said in a low voice, "According to His Highness's orders, those brothers caught up with [King Qin]'s convoy and followed it for a long time, and when they reached the boundary of Yecheng, Fang started to stab him to death on the official road in the suburbs......"

"Really?" A look of infinite joy erupted in Li Xian's eyes, and then, he suddenly frowned, and said strangely, "It's so easy to get it, Xiao Wang is ...... Guan Zhong, is Li Shen alone in the team? What about the other two? What about Li Xiao and Li Yan? ”

Guan Zhong was stunned, shook his head and said, "The three kings don't seem to be traveling together, only the king of Qin, not the king ......of Chu and the king of Han."

"......" Li Xian frowned when he heard this, put down the brush in his hand, held his forehead and pondered for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "No, no...... You're waiting for a miss! ”

"This ......" Guan Zhong said anxiously with a look of surprise on his face, "According to what those brothers said below, it is clearly the ...... of Li Shen, the king of Qin."

Looking at Guan Zhong's anxious face, Li Xian waved his hand and said comfortingly. "The loyalty of the brothers in Weidi, how can Xiao Wang not believe it, it's just that you have been deceived by the third child...... The so-called [King of Qin] Li Shen that you killed is just a ghost who looks very similar to the third child......" Saying this, Li Xian sighed slightly and said in a deep voice, "Xie An married Jin Ling'er, and all the people of Jinling belong to him." But before Xie An married this daughter, Jinling Zhong was deployed by Li Wei, the former prince [King of Zhou Ai], and the second child personally sent people to Jinling to invite him, in order to eradicate some enemies with political disagreements for him, including the third child...... You also know about Jin Ling'er's woman. can be called the most difficult assassin in my Great Zhou to guard against, so the third child secretly found a lot of people who are similar to him and taught him personally, and after a few years, it is enough to confuse the real with the false, even if it is Xiao Wang. I'm afraid I can't tell the truth from the fake, but Xiao Wang can be sure that the real third child will not die so easily. He was the most cunning of Xiao Wang's many brothers...... What Jin Ling'er killed by that woman a few days ago was just a fake, and what you killed this time is undoubtedly a fake! ”

Guan Zhong was only dumbfounded. Be rendered speechless.

"That's it," Li Xian waved tiredly. sighed and said, "I don't blame you for this matter, Xiao Wang asked you to go to the pursuit, just to see if we are lucky...... After all, the best time to get rid of the third child has long been missed...... Damn it! ——If a few days ago, Li Shou and Xie An could listen to Xiao Wang's persuasion and close the city to search, why would they let the third child escape? - Especially that Xie An, Bai recovered the Dongling people and the Jinling people, the two top assassins of my Great Zhou, but they didn't make full use of them, it's a pity...... If he can send [Ghost Ji] Jin Ling'er and [Hongshan Four Shadow Dagger], even if the third child has countless stand-ins, he can still kill him! ”

Ji Hong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, the problem is that Xie An didn't think about killing King Qin Li Shen......"

"Xiao Wang knows!" Li Xian sighed in annoyance, and said rather unhappily, "He thinks that by sealing the third child and others, he can use this to announce to the world that the fourth child will be taboo?" - The fourth child has always been domineering, how can it be...... Forget it, it's come to this, it's useless to talk more! - Guan Zhong, although most of this time has not yielded results, however, the hard work of your brothers, Xiao Wang is also in mind, as far as Xiao Wang knows, the Wei Di Assassins have been confined to Xiao Wang's residence these days, and do not dare to go out easily, so cautious is not necessary, at present, there are Jinling people and Dongling people in Jijing to monitor the Beijing Division, the more cautious you are, the more bad it is, so let's do it, tomorrow, you wait to change into black clothes, go to the street, see the prosperity of my Jijing, prepare the application needs, Xiao Wang will ask someone to allocate money from the treasury,"

Guan Zhong said with a straight face when he heard this, "My Wei Di Jingxia assassin helps the virtuous king, it is the word [righteousness], how can it be ......" However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Xian.

"Xiao Wang knows about this matter, the most chivalrous person in the world's assassin pavilion is none other than you and other Jingxia assassins, but after all, people still have to eat and dress, let alone support their families, if they treat all their brothers badly, Xiao Wang's heart is also uneasy...... Although the silver is not much, Xiao Wang's heart ......"

"This ......" Guan Zhong hesitated, clenched his fists and said, "I'm ashamed!" ”

"Where is ......" Li Xianzheng said with a smile, suddenly an abnormal wind blew outside the window of the study, and when he turned his head to look, he saw an assassin dressed in black squatting on the window railing, looking at everyone in the room with an inexplicable expression, and Ji Hong and Guan Zhong subconsciously touched the saber on their waists.

You must know that Ji Hong and Guan Zhong are both proficient in martial arts, but despite this, they have not noticed the approach of the assassin in advance, and it is not difficult to guess that the person who came must not be an ordinary person.

Perhaps noticing the hostility between Ji Hong and Guan Zhong, the assassin squatting on the window bar took out an official plaque engraved with the words [Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Wei Si Duwei] from his waist, and revealed his identity.

"Dongling people, Mo Fei!"

is worthy of being the murderer of the Dongling people, [sickle] Mo Fei, hiding his whereabouts is really clever!

Li Xian secretly praised in his heart, waved his hand and asked Ji Hong and Guan Zhong to put away the vigilant look that would cause people to misunderstand, and said with a smile, "Captain Mo Du visited late at night, but is there something?" ”

Glancing at Guan Zhong, who was dressed in black in the room, Mo Fei nodded to him as a greeting, then turned his head to look at Li Xian, and said calmly, "On the order of the second lady, send a message to His Royal Highness King Xian, the four helpers recruited by His Royal Highness from the countryside are now being imprisoned in the Great Prison Temple for committing crimes, if His Highness doesn't want them to die in prison, please go to the Great Prison Temple tomorrow to raise people......"

"Country? Helper? Not to mention that Ji Hong and Guan Zhong were stunned, even Li Xian also had a strange look.

Suddenly. Li Xian seemed to think of something, his eyes showed a little anger, and he frowned and said, "Could it be that the descendants of the four families of my Li family?" - What did the four of them do? ”

Mo Fei then briefly explained what happened to Li Xian and the other three, and at that time, Ji Hong and Guan Zhong noticed that Li Xian's face was covered with a layer of anger, and his face turned red.

Think about it, whether it's him Li Xian, it's Li Shou and Xie An. At present, there is a tacit understanding to join forces for the fourth son of the emperor [Yan Wang] Li Mao, but someone wants to break the delicate peace situation in the current court, how can Li Xian not be angry?

Secretly glancing at Li Xian's face, Ji Hong coughed, and said with his hand facing Mo Fei. "Thank you Captain Modu for your hard work to come and tell me! ——Please convey to Lord Xie and the Second Lady on behalf of your Excellency, thank you for raising your noble hand, and thank you for reporting to us......"

Mo Fei nodded, kicked his legs, and the whole person jumped backwards and disappeared without a trace.

"How can it be!" Seeing that Mo Fei had left, Li Xian slapped the table hard. His face was full of anger.

Seeing this, Ji Hong hurriedly persuaded, "Your Highness is angry, after all, Xie An is still quite knowledgeable." Focusing on the overall situation, it will not affect His Highness's plans because of those few swipes...... Overall, a false alarm! ”

Heard Ji Hong's words. Li Xian's anger calmed down a little, and he nodded and said. "Xie An is a smart man, although he is a little ruffian, but he is quite affectionate, which is one of the reasons why Xiao Wang supports him in private, as long as I don't take the lead in doing something that fails him, he won't stab him in the back, the problem is that those few country people are ......"

"Ahem!" Ji Hong coughed lightly when he heard this.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then realized where he had lost his words, and changed his words and said, "Well, those royal family sons...... Earlier, Xiao Wang had instructed Li Bo to persuade the other three to be one or two, but he didn't want to cause such a thing, how could Ji Jing be comparable to their respective feudal countries? - This time it was lucky, they bumped into Xie An, if they bumped into Liang Qiu Wu and Changsun Jing, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

"Xie An is selling me this time to wait for a big face......"

"Hmm!"

"When does Your Highness plan to raise someone?"

Li Xian frowned when he heard this, and said with a little displeasure, "It's not a good thing to ask those guys to suffer in the Great Prison Temple, so as not to be idle all day long, and then come to the bad little king's good deeds!" ”

"This ......" Ji Hong's eyes showed a little worry, and said with a wry smile, "That's the prison of the Great Prison Temple, Your Highness......"

As if he heard Ji Hong's current meaning, Li Xian nodded and said, "It's just tomorrow morning, Xiao Wang and that Xie An will be informed, for Xiao Wang's sake, he won't torture those guys too badly...... Anyway, I have to teach those people a lesson! ”

Hearing this, Ji Hong secretly glanced at Li Xian, and said secretly in his heart, since he escaped death that time, His Royal Highness is indeed more ruthless than before......

In Ji Hong's opinion, Li Xian's methods are much more ruthless than at the beginning, which is not a good thing, after all, this means that His Royal Highness is more mature than before, but in his heart, he vaguely misses the original Li Xian......

The royal gentleman who drank with him and laughed and talked about the wind and snow.

While Ji Hong was sighing secretly, Li Xian had gradually regained his usual bearing, and said with a smile, "Guan Zhong, Xiao Wang's cousins who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, have made you laugh......"

"Your Highness is serious," Guan Zhong smiled and shook his head, and then arched his hand and said, "The hour is not early, I will retire first......

"Well, by the way, there is something about the Taiping Army, remember to find out one or two, if Xiao Wang's prediction is not bad, then Xie An's side, and even in the palace, may also lurk the so-called [Six Divine Generals] of the Taiping Army, find it out for the king! - And Jiangnan's side, continue to keep an eye on ...... for the king"

"Jiangnan ......" Guan Zhong was stunned when he heard this, took out an account from his arms and handed it to Li Xian, and said ashamedly, "Your Highness didn't say that you forgot about it, this is the record account book that Your Highness wants......"

Li Xian was stunned, took the account book and flipped through it a few times, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Guan Zhong, hard work brothers!" ”

"Don't dare!" Guan Zhong hugged his fists, covered himself with a black cloth, and jumped out of the window.

Seeing this, Ji Hong said with a smile, "Why is this assassin used to walking through the window?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Xian, and saw that Li Xian was staring intently at the account book. Curious, he asked, "Your Highness, what is this?" ”

"This is the account book that records the price of rice and salt in various cities and counties in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years......" Walking to the desk, laying the tent on the table, Li Xian quickly flipped through it, then sat down on the chair, closed his eyes, and muttered. Within five years, compared with the rest of the country, the price of rice in Jiangxia, Wuchang, Jiujiang and other places has risen by 50 percent......"

"The Taiping Army is privately raising rice and grain?" Ji Hong's eyes were raised, and he said happily, "It is worthy of His Highness." He could have thought of using such methods to find the foundation of the Taiping Army...... In this way, the Taiping army should be in Jiangxia, Wuchang, and Jiujiang! ”

"No!" Li Xian shook his head, closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "The so-called [cunning rabbit does not eat the grass by the nest]...... We have been working hard for several years, and with the wisdom of the two of us, we have not been able to find any clues in the Taiping Army, which is enough to prove that there are wise and strategic people in the Taiping Army. How could this person have committed such an omission? ”

Ji Hong was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized, "Could it be a trick?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xian nodded and said in a deep voice. "The highest price of rice is by no means a hiding place for the Taiping Army, and the price of rice has risen by more than 30 percent...... There are also 29 counties, which also exclude those whose salt prices have risen by more than 30%. There are still eleven county ......" When he spoke, Li Xian kept his eyes closed. Flip through the book again.

"Eleven counties are not easy to find......" Ji Hong frowned and said.

Li Xian nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "The Taiping army has been divided into pieces, and where its leader is located, there will never be too many people, in my opinion, most of them are hidden in Jiangnan City and County, so it is really troublesome to find, but it is possible to find out where the Taiping army is stockpiling food...... The purpose of the Taiping army is to overthrow my Great Zhou, just rely on the arrangement of fine work, which can not bring down the imperial court, but also need the army to help, and if the Taiping army wants cavalry, then grain, grass and salt are necessary things, if it can destroy its hoarding and baggage, it is tantamount to giving it a slap in the face! ”

"The land of hoarding grain and grass, but the secret matter of the Taiping Army, although I am one of the six generals, it is difficult to find out one or two......"

"Don't be busy......," Li Xian waved his hand, then put his hands flat on the desk, pushed away everything on the table, closed his eyes and muttered, "First of all, we need to determine the place where the Taiping army has accumulated grain and grass...... Mountains and forests, well, no, although the mountains and forests are hidden, but the transportation is inconvenient, moreover, there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, piling up grain and grass in the mountains and forests, more will rot, according to Xiao Wang's guess, according to the Taiping army to prepare, there should be one or two years, or even longer, the mountains and forests are damp, and the grain and grass will rot if they are not stored for more than a year, no......"

"Your Highness, have you ever thought about those rich people in Jiangnan? ——There are many wealthy people in Jiangnan, and there are countless granaries at home, what if they are bought by the Taiping army and used as a place for the Taiping army to be stationed? ”

"This is very dangerous, it stands to reason that the Taiping Army will not do this......" Li Xian shook his head, suddenly, he was shocked, his eyes were closed, the fingers of his right hand were pointed back and forth on the table, and he said, "Strange...... The price of rice in Jiangxia, Jiujiang and Wuchang has skyrocketed, but the price of rice in the other adjacent counties is unusually stable, which is unreasonable! If the people learn about the price of rice in a neighboring county, they will inevitably go to the neighboring county to sell grain privately......"

"Does Your Highness mean that someone is secretly stabilizing the price of rice?" Ji Hong was shocked when he heard this, picked up the account book, and flipped through it carefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't see any clues from those approximate figures.

"Although there are many rich people in Jiangnan, those businessmen are not sages of the world, and they will definitely not use the rice stored in the family treasury to stabilize the rice price of the entire county, in other words, ......"

"Guanmi!" Ji Hong was shocked and said in disbelief, "Is it the government that came forward to stabilize the price of rice?!" ”

"It's long overdue!" Li Xian slapped the table case heavily when he heard this, and said with a little anger, "Sure enough, among the officials of the cities and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there are people from the Taiping Army!" - County Commanders, City Guards, and even County Guards! ”

"If you want to say that the Jiangnan government has a lot of grain ......"

"Xiangyang, Jiangling, Pengze, Yuzhang...... Yes, the price of rice and salt in these cities is very stable, almost half of the increase or decrease...... Ji Hong, you are now a secretary of the ministry, go and investigate the details of the officials in these regions, you would rather misestimate than let go! - But don't startle the snake! ”

"Yes! ——Tomorrow morning, I will go to the collection department of the Ministry of Officials to sort out the list......"

Hearing this, he opened his eyes, Li Xian stared at the position of his right finger on the table, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth raised a little inexplicable smile.

Jingzhou ...... It's a good place, it's a great place, it's picturesque, you think so, right? ——Taiping Jun [Princess], descendant of the Liu clan of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the third of the [Four Ji], the ...... of [Heavenly Ji]"

As of the day, according to the fourth son of the emperor [Yan Wang] Li Mao arrived in Jijing, there were still nine days left.
