Chapter 118: The Gift
The rain in Guangling fell from noon to night, but there was no intention of stopping.
Li Chenan sat in the middle of the smoke and rain building, looking at the fine splashes on the painting screen lake for a long time.
Wen Xiaowan, this name is on the roster of the Lijing Division, but she is also a member of the Imperial City Division.
She called herself a slave in front of Shang Di...... It is estimated that she is from Shang Di's Peach Blossom Island, and is deeply trusted by Shang Di.
These days after getting along with this businessman, with the vision of his previous life, he believes that Shang Di is not a bad person, or not the heinous bad person he understands.
Shang Di is obsessed with music and rhythm, and he also has a mind of worrying about the country and the people.
Master Wu Xichen also said that Shang Di had a pure heart, but he couldn't tolerate the darkness of officialdom, and then suffered the blow of Fan Taohua's marriage to Zhong Lipo, so he stayed away from Kyoto and came to this Guangling City.
The picture is roughly the word leisure.
Touching the roster of the Fish and Dragon Club that was still hidden in his arms, he didn't know anything about the people in it, except for a few small fish and shrimp he knew, and he didn't issue an order to summon those people back to meet him.
Today, that Wen Xiaowan obviously recognized herself, and the assassination of the former helmsman Song Yuanping would definitely fall into Shang Di's ears.
In his wisdom, let him know that the list is in his hand...... Just leave it to him, most of those old people of the Fish and Dragon Society are not good people, especially the wonderful Danqing Chang scholar.
Let the Imperial City Division deal with them.
Next, this fish dragon will divide the rudder in Guangling, and he will have to recruit people again.
Look at Ye Po again, when the time comes, those people will be handed over to Ye Po to be trained.
Thinking so, he put the matter aside, took the oil-paper umbrella leaning against the fence, and walked into the rain with the umbrella.
Calling the master who was drinking, the master and apprentice left the boiling rain Xiaozhu and went to the Li Mansion.
……
……
Peach Blossom Island.
Tinglan Water Pavilion.
Chunlan took the oil-paper umbrella in Shang Di's hand and hung it on the wall, Qiu Ju took a new pair of boots and asked Shang Di to sit down and put them on for him.
Then Chunlan lit a stick of sandalwood, and Qiu Ju boiled a pot of tea.
Wen Xiaowan stood behind Shang Di, gently pinched his shoulders, and said softly: "My lord, the slave maid has something to understand. ”
"If you don't have anything to say, let's hear it."
"That Li Chen'an...... He killed Song Yuanping and became the helmsman of the Guangling Prefecture rudder, and the slave maid thought about it all the way, could it be that this was the Ichthyosaurus Association that gave him this instruction? ”
"Then did Li Chenan get acquainted with a certain big man in the helm of the Fish and Dragon Society, which brought him to the position?"
Wen Xiaowan frowned and pondered, and then wondered for a moment:
"But the slave maid feels that something is wrong, since his painting Pingchun became famous in Guangling City, the slave maid has also heard many rumors about him, saying that he used to be really a fool, even this Guangling City has never been out, how can he know the big man of the Fish and Dragon Society?"
"Besides, even if a big man from the Ichthyosaurus Club comes to Guangling City, even if he is dissatisfied with Song Yuanping, shouldn't this helmsman be selected from the people within the Ichthyosaurus Club?"
The movement of Wen Xiaowan's hand stopped, her beautiful eyes were full of puzzlement, and she shook her head, "It doesn't make sense, I always feel that this thing is too weird." ”
Shang Di, who was sitting on the chair, stroked his long beard and smiled slightly.
"You're stuck in a cycle of thinking!"
"Li Chen'an can be the helmsman of the Guangling branch of the Ichthyosaurus Society, which does not necessarily require him to know a certain big man of the Ichthyosaurus Club."
"Don't forget that Wu Xichen, the old guy, has been protecting him, and don't forget that Wu Xichen went in person on the night of cooking rain and Xiaozhu!"
"In this world, if you list the most loyal people to Zhongli Mansion, Wu Xichen should be ranked first!"
"Think about it, what is the purpose of Wu Xichen helping him kill those people who are the rudder of Guangling of the Fish Dragon Society?"
Wen Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and her gentle little hands pinched Shang Di's shoulders again, "So...... Behind this matter, it is actually Zhongli Mansion that is promoting? ”
"Of course!"
Shang Di took a sip of the teacup, "The old man thinks that Li Chen'an entered Zhongli's sight, and when he entered Zhongli's mansion, it started when Miss Zhongli chose her son-in-law with a text on the third day of March. ”
"Although Li Chenan has never participated in the selection of a son-in-law, his subordinate couplet, as well as his song "Butterfly Love Flower", may have really moved the third lady, so it attracted the attention of Zhongli Mansion."
"Next, Miss Zhongli was attacked in Erjinggou Alley...... Of course, this can't be a real attack, in the old man's current thinking, it was the third lady who deliberately wanted to get close to Li Chen'an, which shows the rumors in the market...... That is to say, Zhongli Ruoshui may like Li Chenan's rumors, maybe it is true! ”
"Otherwise, why would Zhongli Ruoshui give Li Chen'an those lands on the banks of Peach Blossom Creek?"
"Zhongli Ruoshui left Guangling City to go to Kyoto Yujing City, and he definitely won't leave Wu Xichen by his side!"
"Zhongli Ruoshui's girl's wisdom is no worse than her grandmother's, she knows very well what kind of trouble Li Chen'an will encounter in Guangling City."
"Of course, Zhong Lisu's kid also knows his daughter's careful thoughts, so the old man estimated that Zhong Lisu also wrote a letter to ask Fan Taohua, and then Zhongli Ruoshui also went to Yujing City, so the old lady Fan in Kyoto did something for this future grandson-in-law."
"It's a no-brainer!"
"By getting Li Chenan into the Fish Dragon Club as a helmsman, Zhongli Mansion can use this to ease the increasingly tense contradictions with Prime Minister Ji Cheng on the surface."
"With the identity of the helmsman of this Ichthyosaurus Society, Li Chenan can stand on his feet in Guangling City and even walk sideways!"
"Also...... If Li Chenan can make good use of this identity, he may be able to become a big help to Zhongli Mansion. ”
Listening to Shang Di's such a splendid analysis, Wen Xiaowan gradually understood that behind all this, there were so many calculations.
So Li Chenan's kid is lucky?
"But in this case, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that Zhongli Mansion is standing by the side of the Second Prince?"
Shang Di didn't answer this sentence because he didn't know how to answer.
He has lived on this peach blossom island in Guangling City for a long time, and unless there is a special task from the Imperial City Division, he doesn't even ask about the situation in the DPRK and China.
But asking doesn't mean that he didn't hear something, he knows very well that the struggle in the palace has reached the point of being exhausted.
"These things have nothing to do with the old man."
"I'm cooking rain today, you have to remember what Li Chenan said, believe him, and help him!"
"Also...... Ming'er, you go to the City God Temple, and tell Xia Miao to congratulate you, the autumn grain in the south of the Yangtze River, the Huo family is getting involved, and Shen Qianshan's daughter Shen Qiaodie has left Guangling City. ”
"Let Xia Miaozhu send someone to keep an eye on the point, but don't startle the snake. Wait for the autumn harvest...... Look where it goes! ”
"The slave obeys...... My lord, Li Chenan has the roster of the Ichthyosaurus Club in his hand. ”
Shang Di grinned: "Originally, the old man wanted to get that roster, but now he doesn't want it." ”
"Why?"
"Chang Shusheng is not so easy to deal with, the judge of our Imperial City Division, Wang Zhengjinzhong, did not come to Jiangnan, and went to Mushan Dao to see his son Wang Zhenghaoxuan."
"The old man can't kill Chang Shusheng, so let Li Chenan deal with it himself!"
"I originally planned to go to Kyoto with Li Chenan...... Chunlan Qiuju, clean up, tomorrow morning, we'll go! ”
