Chapter 218: Li Xin's response
"Master Hou, it's not good! Oh no! ”
In the Chongshan Marquis Mansion on Xinchang Street, the old housekeeper roared very loudly, obviously the matter was urgent.
"What's the noise, don't you know that the Marquis of Lu Dao is playing chess!" Li Xinyi touched the beard under his forehead and said coldly to the old housekeeper behind him.
Opposite Li Xin sat a young man, who looked like he was sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had a very high temperament, and at first glance he was everyone's son.
The old butler's natural way is that this person is not the son of the master, but the only people in the palace who can get such courtesy from the master must be the people in the palace.
"The old slave deserves to die, the old slave deserves to die." The old butler took a step back and said to Li Xin.
"Hehe, Prince Mo, I'll come when I go, you wait a while." After Li Xin drank the old housekeeper, he said to the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Hehe, Chongshan Hou is casual, I just want to enjoy the scenery of Chongshan Hou's Mansion."
The Mo prince in Li Xin's mouth smiled casually, then stood up and walked towards a small garden in the Hou Mansion.
"So what! Don't you know that Lu Dao was the twenty-first prince just now, and he was crowned King Shen a few years ago, and he will be a great backer of my Li Mansion in the future! ”
Li Xin came to the old housekeeper's side and reprimanded loudly.
It turned out that the prince of Mo in Li Xin's mouth was Zhu Yuanzhang's twenty-first son, Zhu Mo. Five years ago, he was named King Shen, and within a few years, he would be sealed in the fiefdom, and then he would be the king of a vassal again.
This Zhu Ku loves chess, so Li Xincai did everything possible to invite Zhu Mo to the Chongshan Marquis Mansion as a guest, just to plan for the future of the Li family. He knew that the current situation in the imperial court was not good. With his shrewd temperament, he can naturally see that Zhu Di is restless, and the powerful vassal kings are restless, but Zhu Yunwen, the crown prince, is not easy to mess with.
It's too risky to cling to them. There are still benefits to clinging to these vassal kings, and no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, there are many benefits. He is not a gambler, so he will not put the future of the Li family on Zhu Yunwen or Zhu Di.
However, Li Xin didn't know what to do, the first thing Zhu Yunwen did when he came to power was to cut the domain, otherwise he would definitely not think so.
"Master Hou, something is wrong. Wanghuai Tower was sealed, and the proprietress was arrested. ”
The old butler said anxiously.
"What!"
Li Xin was taken aback, there were many people in Nanjing who didn't know that the proprietress of Wanghuai Tower was his cousin. But definitely not those who are in office.
The person who can seal Wanghuai Tower, the right must not be low, it is impossible not to know that behind Wanghuai Tower is him Li Xin. But he dared to seal Wanghuai Tower and arrested his cousin. This is clearly aimed at him.
"Who caught it. Doesn't he want to live? Li Xin snorted coldly.
"Back to the Hou Ye, it is a general judgment of Ying Tianfu, it seems to be called Hu Ye." The old butler replied truthfully.
Crunch!
The old housekeeper only heard a sound, and saw that the chess in Li Xin's hand had been pinched into three petals, which showed that Li Xin was also an old and strong character.
This Li Xin was able to become a marquis, mainly because he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to raise troops in his early years. This kind of character naturally has two strokes, even if he is in his sixties, but his courage cannot be underestimated.
"It's that kid again! Good thing that ruined my cousin last time. ran into the emperor to worship the sky, and did not clean him up properly. How could he be spared this time! Li Xin snorted coldly.
"But Master Hou, I'm afraid it's a little difficult this time." The old butler said with an embarrassed face.
"Oh, what's going on?" Li Xin asked curiously, in his opinion, is it not easy for a marquis to deal with a six-rank general judgment?
And Wanghuailou hasn't done anything illegal recently, so he can blatantly clean up Hu Ye. But the old butler looks so serious, it seems that things are not so simple,
"Master Hou, this time Hu Ye arrested the boss lady on the charge of bribing assassins to assassinate the court officials, and he got both the stolen goods, and now he is locked up in the Yamen." The old butler said.
"Bribing the Assassins?" Li Xin was stunned, what was the situation, he knew that his cousin should not be stupid enough to kill someone in his own building.
So the old housekeeper told everything that happened in Wanghuai Tower as it was.
"It turned out to be a real assassination? Isn't that kid planting the blame? Li Xin muttered.
"I don't think so, because those four killers are all masters, and they must be stronger than the guards in our house. And they are ruthless, and their moves are all deadly, if it weren't for the guard next to Hu Ye, then Hu Ye doesn't know how many times he would have died. Lao Guan expressed his opinion.
"It's a bit of a tough thing to do." Li Xin frowned, the assassination of the imperial court official was not a small crime, and it was at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to Yingtianfu for a trip." Li Xin pondered for a moment and instructed the old butler.
Then Li Xin came to the back garden, and Zhu Mo was still enjoying the flowers in the back garden, I am afraid that this chess game will not be able to be played.
"Ahem, Prince Mo, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you today, there are some situations in my contemptible cousin's family, I'm in a hurry to deal with it, I don't think it's as good as the prince resting in the house tonight, or I'll come back soon, and then accompany His Royal Highness the prince to kill dozens of rounds." Li Xin smiled and said to Zhu Mo, who was admiring the flowers.
Zhu Mo is also delicate, well maintained, and is very intoxicated by the smell of flowers.
I saw him stretch out his hand to pick a golden chrysanthemum, although it is now October, but the rainy season came late, and the chrysanthemum is still in full bloom.
Zhu Mo took the chrysanthemums and looked at them for a moment, and then said, "Chongshan will deal with it if there is something, I will take this chrysanthemum back to the palace to appreciate it, and we will discuss it next time we have time." ”
After speaking, Zhu Mo arched his hand towards Li Xingong and walked towards the gate.
Although he is the prince, this Li Xin can be regarded as the same generation as his father, and this is in Li Xin's family, and he doesn't dare to be too big.
Li Xin recalled Zhu Mo's words, and didn't know what Zhu Mo was thinking, but for now, he still had to rescue his cousin first.
So after Li Xin sent Zhu Mo to the gate, he got into the carriage and rushed towards Ying Tianfu.
And at this moment, Ying Tianfu Yin is not idle, he is now discussing with Hu Ye.
"Hu Ye, don't you think the trouble you caused last time was not big enough? This time, Chongshanhou's cousin was directly arrested, aren't you afraid of Chongshanhou's revenge! ”
Lu Chun was a little angry, last time Hu Ye caught some thugs in Wanghuailou, but this time he directly arrested Li Xin's relatives, this is a naked slap in the face.
Not to mention Li Xin's kind of person who protects his shortcomings, as long as he is a powerful person, I'm afraid he will have to fight back, not to mention that Hu Ye is only a six-rank official, where can he compare to Li Xin, the marquis.
"My lord, this is wrong, I originally went to Wanghuai Tower for recreation, it was the old mother of Wanghuai Tower who hired an assassin to assassinate me, if it weren't for my guard's heroic resistance, the life of the lower official would not be guaranteed. I deserve to arrest them, isn't it only because I die in Wanghuai Tower that adults think it's reasonable? ”
Hu Ye snorted coldly, a little disappointed in Lu Chun, this is not how to protect himself, but he keeps blaming himself, and the good impression he has finally built up is gone.
Lu Chun sighed, although he knew that Hu Ye must have a purpose when he went to look at Huai Tower, but he also knew that those killers could not be found by Hu Ye, otherwise it would be impossible to kill Hu Ye.
But things are very difficult to do now, and the first thing Li Xinzhi did after he said that he must have come to find himself, after all, this Hu Ye is his direct subordinate.
Originally, Lu Chun wanted to find Hu Ye to solve this matter, but now it seems that Hu Ye's attitude is very tough, and it is impossible to let go of the proprietress of Wanghuai Tower. In fact, it can be seen from what happened last time that Hu Ye's attitude is very tough, but Lu Chun doesn't want to give up this last glimmer of hope.
"Hu Ye, it's not good for you to make a big fuss about this matter. That Li Xin is a master who kills people without blinking, when he followed the emperor to fight the world, there were not 1,000 people who died in his hands, but 800, if you are against him like this, aren't you afraid of his revenge? Lu Chun also wanted to make the most difficult efforts to persuade Hu Ye.
"Revenge?"
Hu Ye sneered, revenge has already come, and it is extremely insidious, if it weren't for the fact that Yin Changlong knew that Li Xin was the story behind Xinchang Street, I am afraid that he would not know that Li Xin was behind Qingtian Street until now.
Originally, Hu Ye didn't think about making trouble with Li Xin again, but since Li Xin wanted to clean himself up, he couldn't be a turtle, so he fought back as much as he could.
And this time the evidence is conclusive, arresting his people and sealing his building, not afraid that he will not quit Qingtian Street.
"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with you, all this is my personal behavior, if that Chongshan Hou finds you, you can tell him directly, something is coming at me, I want to see how many catties and taels that Chongshan Hou has." Hu Ye snorted coldly, then stood up angrily and walked out of the Ying Tianfu Ya.
"Hu Ye!" Lu Chun sighed, he knew that Hu Ye was a good official, an unclean green building like Wanghuai Tower should be sealed, and Li Xin's evil Hou Ye should also be cleaned up, but not now, not Hu Ye, nor Ziying Tianfu Ya.
Because they are not qualified enough, as long as Li Xin says hello to the officials, I am afraid that everyone in Yingtianfu will be transferred, some remote place in southern Xinjiang, and a place often harassed by the Mongols in northern Xinjiang.
"This kid has made a big deal now, do you think that a little evidence can cure Wanghuailou's sin! That Li Xin is a well-known short-sighted, you moved his cousin, even if you have Yan Shenggong behind you, you can't protect you. That Li Xin has a history of slaughtering people. Lu Chun thumped his chest and looked at Hu Ye's distant back, and he couldn't wait to kick Hu Ye to death, because Hu Ye was not only going to be retaliated by Li Xin if he did this.
I'm afraid that the entire Ying Tianfu is within the scope of Li Xin's revenge.
"Lord Yin, Chongshan is waiting to see you." Just as Lu Chun was muttering, Lu Jie walked in and said to Liu Chen.
"Hey, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, it seems that this matter can't be avoided. That kid is so tough, he is the only one who is the shield. Lu Chun sighed.
"Let's go, go out of the mountain to meet Chongshanhou." Lu Chun said, and took Lu Jie to the gate of Ying Tianfu. (To be continued......)
