Wang Pu, who had been hungry all day, reluctantly walked back to the front of the house, but found that his carriage and even the carriage had been smashed, so how could he have a place to sleep.

The so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, Wang Pu is now in a desperate situation, he has money but nowhere to buy food, and nowhere to stay, his colleagues in the past are now avoided, Wang Pu did not plan to seek their help, Wang Pu curled up and slept against the door of the house.

I don't know how long I slept, Wang Pu was woken up, he barely opened a trace of his eyes, and by the starlight, he vaguely saw his old servant Li Bo shaking himself.

Wang Pu asked weakly, "Uncle Li, why are you here?" ”

"Lord, I have always been nearby, I heard that you slept in the carriage last night, and I came to find you during the day, but I couldn't find you, so I had to try my luck again at night."

"Li Bo......, don't speak yet...... There is no food, I haven't eaten for a day. ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that the lord was driven away by the Hakka yesterday and couldn't buy food, so I have been carrying steamed buns on my body." Li Bo said as he took out two steamed buns from his arms, and seeing that Wang Pu looked weak, Li Bo tore the steamed buns into small pieces and fed them to Wang Pu's mouth.

After eating two steamed buns, Wang Pu's spirit improved, "Uncle Li, was the house sealed by the emperor?" ”

Li Bo said angrily: "It was not decreed by the emperor, but it was sealed by the new governor Xue Xun of the Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Wang Pu knew that this Xue Xun was originally the general of the Right Tunwei, and he didn't deal with him, in fact, no matter who came to seal it, as long as it was not sealed by the emperor's decree, for Wang Pu. It's all the same. After all, Wang Pu still hopes that Chai Rong can trust himself and have confidence in himself, but. Is this possible?

Wang Pu unconsciously showed a wry smile.

Li Bo on the side thought that Wang Pu smiled bitterly at the closure of the house, and hurriedly comforted: "Lord, the rumors stop at the wise, and now that the lord is back, just explain the misunderstanding to the emperor." ”

Wang Pu had no choice but to smile bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Uncle Li, this matter is true. ”

Li Bo was dumbfounded. I thought it was a rumor from the beginning, although the house was sealed and I was kicked out of the house. But in his heart, he really didn't believe that his lord's guild was a person who turned his back on the old master and took refuge in the Ming Kingdom. But now, with Wang Pu's own admission, Li Bo couldn't believe his ears.

Lieber is old. He absolutely did not believe in Wang Pu's person. can do such a thing, even if Wang Pu personally admits it, Li Bo still feels that something is strange in his heart.

"Lord, don't talk about it, let's go home first." Li Bo avoided the topic, helped Wang Pu up, and said.

"Home? Where did it come from? Wang Pu was a little surprised.

"Yes, three days ago. The house was sealed, and a few of us and others were kicked out of the house. With nowhere to stay, in desperation, he secretly went back to the house to take some things and sell them, and used the money to rent a house, which can be regarded as a home. I hope that the Lord will forgive you for this matter. ”

Wang Pu actually laughed out loud and said, "What a crime, the house has been sealed, why not take some things?" People have to live, Lieber, well done. ”

Li Bo is a little stupid, this lord has not seen him for a few days, his words are like a different person, if he does this before, he will be punished lightly, and he may be driven out of the house, but now, the lord does not think it is strange, but praises it.

Seeing Li Bo's strange expression, Wang Pu also realized that he was talking a little frivolously, and he didn't explain, urging Li Bo to lead the way, he was really tired and needed to sleep well.

This sleep lasted until three o'clock the next day, when Wang Pu woke up leisurely, and he was already hungry, he grabbed the meal prepared for him by Li Bo, devoured it, and ate two bowls in a row before he exhaled.

Wang Pu, who had solved the problem of food and clothing, quickly turned his thinking to the task he shouldered. However, according to the usual practice, the road to report the audience from Honglu Temple has been broken, so you can only find another way.

The so-called rush to the doctor, Wang Pu had no choice but to ask Li Bo: "Li Bo, I want to meet the emperor, do you have a way?" ”

This Li Bo is just a housekeeper, how can there be any way, so he asked, and said: "Lord, you are also a third-grade court official of the Zhou State, why don't you find a way to find a former colleague?" ”

Wang Pu smiled bitterly, this is to ask Yu Blind, and he didn't pay attention to Li Bo, thinking about himself.

Wang Pu had long thought about finding a former colleague to report to Chai Rong on his behalf, but now the task he shouldered cannot be announced.

But if you wait like this, you will miss a big event, after all, waiting for the emperor to go out on patrol is like waiting for a rabbit.

Why don't you try it with a colleague? Wang Pu thought to himself, as long as he strictly guards his tone and only asks for a report on his behalf, maybe he can't leak anything?

Wang Pu began to screen his close colleagues one by one, and finally targeted one person, that is, Zhou Guosi Situ and his subordinate squire, Ping Zhangshi, and supervisor Li Gu.

Li Gu is already more than half a hundred years old, 27 years old Jinshi, has gone through the Jin, Han, Wednesday Dynasty as an official, after the Jin Dynasty Tianfu years, promoted to supervise the imperial history, successively served as Kaifeng Mansion Taichang Cheng, Yu Department member Wailang, Ministry Lang Lang middle position. In the first year of Kaiyun, he then went out to the emperor (Shi Chonggui) to conquer the Khitan, served as a privy councilor, and added to the matter. In the second year of his fortune, he served as the history of Cizhou Thorn and the northern water and land transport envoy. Later, he was captured by the Khitan and tortured six times, but he did not give in.

Wang Pu believes that if such a person wants to take refuge in Liao, why wait until now, and in the past, although he and he did not have a deep friendship, their political views were similar, and they were all committed to enhancing national strength, and they were both internal and external strategies.

Wang Pu decided to go to Li Gu to find a way.

That night, Wang Pu ordered Li Bo to find a set of coarse cloth clothes to change into, and quietly went to Li Mansion in the south of the city.

Li Gu did not refuse Wang Pu's visit, and he did not believe in his heart that Wang Pu would take refuge in the Ming Kingdom.

Li Gu was suspicious, and met Wang Pu in the study, looking at this former emperor's confidant in rough clothes, Li Gu couldn't believe his eyes.

"Wenbo, how can you dress like this?"

Wang Pu smiled bitterly: "Someone stopped me from meeting the emperor. ”

"Who?" Li Gu asked.

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "I don't know." At that moment, Wang Pu briefly told Li Gu what happened after entering Kaifeng City, and also said that his house was sealed.

"Li Situ, has the emperor removed me from the post of Kaifeng Mansion and elected someone else to succeed him?"

Li Gu sighed and said: "Above the court, the emperor didn't react when he heard the news of your defection to the Ming Kingdom, but you know that there are always some people who will make waves, and they propose that the position of the Kaifeng Mansion is very important, and it should not be handed over to a person who is suspected of defecting to a foreign country, and it should be removed immediately." The emperor did not refuse, so he ....... (To be continued......)
