Chapter 816: Secret Layout (Three Changes)
In the early hours of the morning, in front of a palatial mansion in the south of the city.
Three figures in black night clothes jumped over the courtyard wall of the backyard one after another, landed firmly on the ground, and then quickly walked towards a courtyard.
After stopping in front of the bedroom in the courtyard, a burly night walker leaned on the window and listened, and there was a low snoring sound from inside, so he made a gesture to the other two petite night walkers, one of whom carefully unbolted the door with a short knife, and the three pushed open the door and quietly walked in.
On the big bed in the room, a middle-aged man fell asleep with two young and beautiful women in his arms, full of alcohol, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine last night.
Seeing this, the burly night walker waved his hand to one of the night walkers who was following him, and the night walker took out a porcelain vase from his body, uncorked it and shook it in front of the noses of the two young women on the bed, and the two young women tilted their heads and lost consciousness.
At this moment, the middle-aged man on the bed did not notice that someone had entered the room, and was still snoring there, so the burly night walker reached out and pushed him a few times.
"You...... Who are you? What do you want to do? Know...... Do you know who I am? The middle-aged man opened his sleepy eyes leisurely, and when he noticed three dark shadows standing beside the bed, he was startled, and sat up from the bed with a pout, and said in a fierce voice, "Sue ...... Sue sΓΉ you, as long as the people of Benshan can ask for a word...... I've got your heads! β
"Brother Su, I haven't seen Brother Su for a long time, and now he is very blessed, and he actually enjoys the blessings of Qi people!" The burly night walker saw the nervousness on the middle-aged man's face, and knew that he thought he was a thief who robbed the house, so he said with a smile.
"You...... Are you ......" The middle-aged man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt that the voice of the burly night walker was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, and then his face changed, and he looked at the burly night walker with a shocked expression.
"Come with me." The burly night walker knew that the middle-aged man had guessed his identity, so he walked to the round table in the room, lit the oil lamp on the table, and turned the light to a minimum.
"Grandpa Guo, is that you?" The middle-aged man hurriedly got out of bed and followed, looking tentatively at the burly night walker.
"Brother Su, don't come unharmed." The burly night pedestrian smiled slightly, and pulled down the face towel covering his face, it was Li Yuntian.
"Grandpa Guo, what's going on? It's rumored outside that you've died in the fire of the Gyeonggi Governor's Palace! The middle-aged man is Su Bolang, the Venerable Master of Yuanxia, who is now in charge of many sacrifices and rituals of the Ming Dynasty, and can be described as the national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, asked with a stunned face, looking a little incredulous.
"It's hard to put into words." Li Yuntian heard the words and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, if it wasn't for Nuo Min and Keiko Yamaguchi digging that tunnel, he would have been buried in the sea of fire, and then Yu Feng changed and said, "Brother Su, this duke has urgent affairs to meet the emperor, and I hope that Brother Su can help my duke." β
"When does Grandpa Guo want to see the emperor?" Su Bolang was stunned for a moment, and asked quietly, it may not be easy for others to enter the palace, but it is easy for Li Yuntian, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to let him help face the saint, and then realized that Li Yuntian may have other hidden reasons for doing this.
"Better tomorrow!" Li Yuntian did not hesitate at all and replied in a deep voice, it was an urgent matter, and he had to see Emperor Xuande as much as possible.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take you into the palace in the name of praying for the emperor's practice, and I hope that the grandfather of the country can pretend to be a retinue below." Su Bolang didn't expect Li Yuntian to enter the palace in such a hurry, and after thinking about it, he agreed, he is now a quasi-national teacher of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will stop him if he wants to pray for Emperor Xuande.
This is also the reason why Li Yuntian came to Su Bolang, although he has many ways to enter the palace, but Su Bolang's words are the safest and safest one, enough to avoid those eyes and ears in the palace, no one would have thought that Su Bolang would help Li Yuntian.
"There's Brother Laosu." Li Yuntian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and thanked Su Bolang.
"Grandpa Guo's words are serious, if there is no support from Grandpa Guo, there will be no today." Su Bolang hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, the reason why he was able to be so successful in Daming in the past ten years and was convinced by the civil and military officials of the imperial court was thanks to Li Yuntian who provided him with all aspects of information, otherwise he would not be able to deal with the complicated situation in the capital at all.
With the information provided by Li Yuntian, Su Bolang was always able to convince those powerful people who were thieves and thieves after pretending to be ghosts, and then his reputation was greatly enhanced.
Now that Li Yuntian has something to ask for, Su Bolang will naturally not refuse, cooperating with Li Yuntian is beneficial to him and harmless, he can't wait to sell Li Yuntian a favor.
"Xianggong, what should we do next?" After leaving Su Bolang's house, in a secluded alley, a black-clothed night walker pulled down the mask on his face and asked Li Yuntian, it was Nuo Min, and the other black-clothed night walker was naturally Keiko Yamaguchi.
"Since Ting'er is here, according to her character, she will definitely take revenge on the prime minister, otherwise she will not live in the martial arts hall." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and whispered to Nuo Min, "I'll write a letter for you to bring to Ting'er." β
"Xianggong, where are you going after we go back to the martial arts hall?" Nuo Min nodded when she heard this, she had gotten along with Lei Ting in Liaodong, so she knew that Li Yuntian's analysis was correct, Lei Ting would definitely avenge Li Yuntian, and then asked with a concerned expression, Now Li Yuntian is a dead man, and it is not convenient to move.
"Don't worry, the prime minister has a place to go." Li Yuntian smiled confidently, and then instructed in a deep voice, "After handing over the letter to Ting'er, you will take leave from the martial arts hall, and go to your aunt after returning to the Guogong Mansion, there will definitely be many people coming to the Guogong Mansion to mourn, and it will inevitably be seen by people when there are many people." β
"Hmm!" Nuo Min knew that Li Yuntian was worried that she would show her flaws, so she agreed in one bite, and it was difficult for her arrogant personality to hide from the eyes of those scheming people, so it was better to leave the Guogong Mansion.
Li Yuntian sent Nuo Min and Keiko Yamaguchi to the back door of the Anyi Palace, and saw the two of them leave after climbing over the wall, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
The next morning, a middle-aged adult with a beard on his face appeared in front of the gate of the Taifu Temple Warden Office with a burden on his back, and told the doorman that he was the nephew of Hu Yitu, the Taifu Temple, and had come to the capital to join Hu Yitu.
When the doorman heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, Hu Yitu had served as the temple master of the Taifu Temple for more than 30 years, and he was older than the qualifications of the Taifu Temple Temple, how could they dare to make any moths.
Hu Yitu was drinking sullen wine at home, and when he heard that someone called him his nephew, his brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, he had lost contact with his family incognito for so many years, how could his nephew come?
"Let him come." Although he was suspicious in his heart, Hu Yitu still asked the doorman who came to report the news to see who was coming.
Not long after, the middle-aged man with a full face and beard was brought in by the doorman, Hu Yitu looked at him quietly, such things as climbing relatives happen from time to time in the capital, and any powerful person will meet some relatives who can't beat the eight poles to come to recognize their relatives, and want to get a touch of luxury.
But Hu Yitu felt very strange in his heart, he was just a small Taifu Temple, dealing with horses in the stable every day, it can be said that he had no power and no power, and who wanted to climb his family when he was full.
"The little nephew saluted my cousin." When the bearded man saw Hu Yitu, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed to him three times, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, "This is a letter from my father to my cousin, I hope my cousin can find an errand for my little nephew in the capital." β
Hu Yitu's brows furrowed again, he reached out and took the letter, sneering in his heart, he never thought that the bearded man in front of him would be so bold, and he would forge a letter in a hurry, he wanted to see how this letter would be related to him.
However, when Hu Yitu took out the letter from the envelope and looked at it, his eyes couldn't help but flash a look of shock, and he couldn't help but glance at the bearded man who was kneeling there honestly, and the bearded man grinned at him when he saw this.
"I know, I will find you an errand in the capital, and I will also give you a family affair." After the initial consternation, Hu Yitu quickly calmed down, and after reading the contents of the letter, he quietly said to the beard, "You live here first, and then talk about the errand after the New Year." β
"The little nephew thanked my cousin." The bearded man hurriedly kowtowed to Hu Yitu again, and said happily.
The doorman on the side couldn't help but pout when he saw this, thinking that the bearded father was really embarrassed, not only did Hu Yitu help find an errand, but also a daughter-in-law, it was simply a lion's mouth, and it was really unlucky to have such a relative.
"Zhen Guogong, how did you escape from the fire?" After waiting for the doorman to leave, Hu Yitu closed the door and looked at the bearded man in surprise.
"Uncle Hu, it's hard to say, it was Nuomin who saved me." The bearded man couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and told him about Nuo Min digging a tunnel to save him, he was Li Yuntian who had just revealed his identity to Hu Yitu in the letter.
"It's dangerous!" Hu Yitu couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, if Nuo Min took a step slower, Li Yuntian would be in a catastrophe, it seems that Li Yuntian's luck was good, and he responded to the statement of Jiren Tianxiang.
"Uncle Hu, I'm going to live with you for a while, the capital has not been peaceful recently, and I'm going to wait for those who are hiding behind the scenes to come out." Li Yuntian smiled and explained his intention to Hu Yitu.
"Do you know who set that fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion?" Hu Yitu suddenly became interested when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.
"Originally, I thought that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the arquebus in the Bafang Warehouse to get rid of me, but this fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion made me change my mind, it seems that there are still people behind the scenes, and they are the ones who really want to kill me."
Li Yuntian shook his head, and then said with a solemn expression, "Uncle Hu, I got a message from Yungui that King Yue was attacked after he left Beijing, and the Jinyi guards in charge of escorting were all killed, and King Yue had been taken away by the attackers, and now he is still going to the domain to be the family of King Yue." β
"What?" Hu Yitu was taken aback when he heard this, although King Yue was only a vassal king with no real power, but he had the qualifications to inherit the throne after the death of Emperor Xuande, which was an advantage that no one could match, and it also meant that there would be a fierce battle for the throne in the capital.
"Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, I just take this opportunity to find out the main messenger behind the scenes!" A look of helplessness flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, he didn't expect that there would be such an amazing secret hidden behind the fire in the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, it seemed that the officialdom of the capital was bound to experience a storm around the succession to the throne.
