Kyoto.

…………

…………

After returning from Ximenzu, Mo Tu hurriedly issued a few orders.

So that all the people in the dart game are busy counting the belongings, except for a part left, the rest is transported to the Nine Xuan Hall.

Secondly, he summoned the dart heads of several major dart bureaus and ordered them to return to Jiuxuan Hall quickly.

…………

It's late.

…………

In the reception hall in the Jiuxuan Hall, it was full of people.

Except for Mo Tu, the total dart head of several dart games has arrived.

After some deliberation by everyone, things finally surfaced a little bit.

According to the recollection of several people, it seems that it was more than half a month before the accident.

There are two people to the dart bureau to pre-protect a dart, as a few to ask them what they are, the other party only said that it is some bronze statues they cast, if it is an ordinary dart board, it will be carefully checked, but this Wuyuan dart bureau is opened by Jiuxuantang, the name and power are first-class, into a few did not have the habit of careful inspection, as a result of the dart car just out of Kyoto, met the soldiers of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

As if they had already received the news, the soldiers smashed the bronze statue in a few clicks.

Finally, the bronze statue was shattered, and a pile of white salt overflowed from it, and the soldiers immediately took down the dart masters, who wanted to do it, but were persuaded by the leader.

With these clues, then at least one clue can be clear.

Someone must have done this deliberately, and someone else had reported it to the soldiers in advance.

That is to say, you can ask the soldiers and see who sent the letter.

…………

Mo Tu has always done things without delay, and after it is decided, he will let people do it.

After being busy for a while, Mo Tu felt a little tired, so he sent everyone back, and he returned to the study alone.

is upset, and he can't figure out who will get along with him.

With his prestige in the martial arts, there is no one who is not long-sighted to provoke him, but if it is not a person in the martial arts, then who is it?

He has never been involved in the affairs of the government and the opposition, and those who send people to the palace do not need to seek trouble with him.

In the midst of his worry, there was a knock at the door.

…………

"Who?" Mo Tu didn't raise his head.

"Master!"

"Oh my God, come in." Motu.

The revolving door was pushed open, and Mo Tian came from outside.

…………

Since Mo Tian disappeared last time, Mo Tu and his wife have been in a hurry. In the end, it was Yang Li who went to find it back.

…………

"Something?" Mo Tu raised his head and asked with a smile.

Mo Tian smiled: "Father, my mother said that I need to prepare some tea in the evening."

Mo Tu waved his hand: "No need, tell my mother, let her rest early, and I will be busy with other things tonight."

"Father, I see that this mood is not very good, and he is worried about the dart game?" Mo Jiu said.

Hearing that his son began to care about these things, Mo Tu couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Yes, but I'm sad." ”

Mo Tian walked up to Mo Tu and whispered, "Don't worry." Things will always work out. ”

"Well, I wish I would. What's the matter? Mo Tu changed his words, and the sorrow in his heart dissipated a little.

Mo Tian: "No, that's not ......... There is one thing. ”

Hearing that Mo Tian was a little speechless, Mo Tu asked curiously: "When did you speak like this, just speak bluntly, what's the matter?"

"This ......... I want to practice martial arts! Mo Tian said in a deep voice.

"Martial arts? How do you think so? Mo Tu asked.

"I figured it out, since I am in the martial arts, I can't just know a few tricks. I don't want to be so powerful, but I can be like Lord Yang Tan and them, and save myself from danger! ”

Hearing Mo Tian's words, Mo Tu couldn't believe his ears.

…………

Even, Mo Tu suddenly forgot about the troubles of the dart game: "Yes! Days. Anyway, how you want to practice, the master chooses at will, and he can teach whoever he wants! ”

"Father, our people can't." Mo Tian was a little hesitant.

"Oh? Why? Mo Tu was a little confused.

Could it be that Mo Tian looks down on these people? That's impossible, there are many masters in Jiuxuan Hall, except for Mo Tu, Gu Chenfeng is an absolute master, and even if Yang Li and Ning Jiuxuan come to teach Mo Tian, it is absolutely enough.

"In this Nine Xuantang, no one will really teach, they will always take into account the difference in identity." Mo Tian voiced what he feared.

Mo Tu thought for a while, felt that it was not unreasonable, and nodded: "It's not bad, yes, okay, then that's it, about three hundred miles east of the suburbs of Beijing, there is a Hongsha Gang, the hall master Shaning is a character, martial arts is not outstanding, but above the martial arts, and is a good master, he is friends with his father, send Tian'er there, what is it?"

"Dare to ask, what is the acquaintance between my father and Na Shaning?" Mo Tian asked with a wink.

Mo Tu smiled and pointed at Mo Tian: "Ah, now I really like to use my brain, don't worry, it's very raw, he won't care about anything."

"Well, that's right. I'm going to get ready and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, then go and prepare, and send the lonely old man tomorrow."

"Got it, then retire."

"Go ahead."

…………

After Mo Tian left, Mo Tu still couldn't help but smile on his face, for him, if Mo Tian really had this heart, it would be lucky.

Although the matter of the dart game is troublesome, at most, it will not be a dart business in the future, and with the status of Jiuxuantang in the martial arts, there is no worry about not being able to find a way to make a living.

Thinking so, Mo Tu's troubles were swept away at once, and he picked up the tea bowl on the table casually and began to taste the tea.

…………

…………

At the same time, in another place in Kyoto, someone was drinking tea, but it was just two people.

One of them wearing a mask was the master of the Immortal Gate——— Emperor Tudu.

If Mo Tu knew that this Emperor was in Kyoto, he would have to be mad.

Sitting opposite the Emperor of the Earth, it was a strange face, but he had an extraordinary temperament, a majestic face, and a general trend when he raised his hand.

…………

"Lord Liu, thanks to you this time, this is a little bit of my heart, I hope you don't dislike it." Emperor Tu Duan put down the tea bowl, took out a jade white rod about a foot long from his cuff, and handed it over.

Master Liu smiled without a trace, and then swept it with his eyes.

At first, he was very calm, but after looking at it for a while, he noticed that his face was obviously different.

"Alice Dragon Pole!" That Lord Liu sighed.

Emperor Tu Du smiled and said: "Lord Liu is really extraordinary, I won't hide from your book review, I am afraid that there are no more than ten people in the world who know this thing."

Lord Liu nodded, and then held the dragon pole in his hand and watched and played.

…………

After a while, Master Liu seemed to be reluctant to put the dragon pole on the table: "The master of the earth gate is polite, this thing is too valuable, but take it back."

Emperor Tu Duan was stunned for a moment, looking at the eyes of Lord Liu, it was obvious that he liked it very much, why did he suddenly refuse at this time.

However, he soon understood: "Hey, my lord's words are not right, no matter how valuable things are, if they are put in the hands of people who don't know the goods, it is just a piece of scrap metal, this thing is a treasure, and since my lord knows it, then you know it, but you have a fate with it, but you accept it." ”

Then Lord Liu was waiting for this sentence, and as soon as the last word of the Emperor of the Earth was spit out, he nodded busily: "In this case, then respectfully obey the order."

"Yes, Fang Cai's matter, you can rest assured, this people's salt is the most taboo in the emperor today, and everyone knows about it today. This time, if this thing is found in the dart transported by the Motu Dart Bureau, then the emperor will definitely punish it severely. Lord Liu said slowly.

Emperor Tudu: "I'm just worried, if that Mo Tu goes up and down to get some relations and asks someone to speak?"

Lord Liu smiled slightly: "The master of the door doesn't understand the errand. This act of intercession is often very dangerous, and no one in the court dares to touch this moldy head for such a crime of transporting people's salt. ”

"I'm still a little worried, this time I will definitely bring him down, at least so that he can't recover for three or six years." Emperor Tu Duan looked at the light in his eyes and said gloomily.

…………

I don't know why, when Lord Liu heard this, his body trembled, and he didn't know if he didn't like this tone.

"Needless to say, our family is friends with the owner of Gusu Village, and the owner of the door was introduced by him, that is a friend." Lord Liu nodded.

"Adults can deign to make friends with you, that's a blessing for you!" The Emperor of the Earth is a little humble.

"That's it. Mo Tu is a person, but he can't be underestimated, aside from his status in the martial arts, just in the government and the opposition, many people know him, and many people in important positions have more or less dealings with him, this time it is a taboo for the emperor, otherwise, there must be many people who speak for him. When Lord Liu said this, his tone was very calm.

"It took some effort to give him such a charge." Emperor of the Earth.

"Yes, have you swept your tails? This is not something that people can discover, and if it is involved, it will be troublesome. Lord Liu was solemn.

Emperor Tu Duan nodded, and simply said, "You can rest assured!" Nothing will be discovered, the two people who went to the dart have been beheaded, and no one can find them! ”

"Yes! Clever work! Lord Liu slapped the table.

…………

After a while, Lord Liu suddenly changed his words: "If the master of the Tu Duan Sect is willing, we can cooperate on a big plan."

"Big plans? Why? Emperor Tu Duan asked suspiciously.

"I don't know if the master of the end of the earth is interested in the affairs of the government and the opposition?" Lord Liu asked.

Hearing this, Emperor Tu Duan suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and even a strange expression appeared on his face, but it happened to be completely covered by the mask.

…………

"What about the government and the opposition......... Adults can talk and listen. The Earth Emperor asked.

Lord Liu's eyes swept over the Earth Emperor like an eagle's eye, but he couldn't see through the mask to see what the other party's face was like at this time.

"Alas, this matter, it is troublesome to say, the current emperor is Hongfu and has six heirs. Now, except for the six princes, the rest have grown up. However, the position of the crown prince has always been vacant. ”

Emperor Tu Duan smiled secretly in his heart, "I don't know what Lord Liu means?" ”

"The second prince is young and talented, and he is very strategic. And I have always been good friends with our family. Alas, this matter is all for the emperor's consideration and for the society. "Lord Liu's words are very obscure, they should be the same, and what cannot be seen, what needs to be realized by others, has been pointed out.

Emperor Tudu: "Could it be that Lord Liu wants the second prince to inherit the throne?"

"Yo! The master of the end of the earth, you can't say that, our family is just a servant who serves people, who will inherit the unification, and our family has nothing to do with it. Lord Liu pretended to be surprised.

After sneering in his heart, Emperor Tu Duan said: "Hey, who Lord Liu wants to make the crown prince, isn't it all for the sake of the people of the world."

“……… Be. Lord Liu just smiled.

After a while, the Emperor asked, "My lord, if you have any orders, just say it directly."

"Yes, since that's the case, let's put it bluntly, the two princes are all good, but they haven't made any great achievements in the arena, and what the emperor appreciates the most is the great generals who gallop on the battlefield." Lord Liu.

"However, as far as I know, there is no major war in the north now, except for occasional invasions on the border." Emperor Tu asked.

"Ah, I just want to ask the master of the earth to help, the ancestor of the master of the door who listened to it is the emperor of the hidden barbarian country?" Lord Liu asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Emperor Tudu's heart suddenly trembled, but he quickly returned to normal and smiled: "Yes, the ancestor used to be a hidden nobleman."

"That's it. Why don't we put on a show, pretend to use the name of revenge, make people make trouble on the southern border of Xinjiang, and even recommend it to the emperor, so that the second prince will suppress it. In this case, won't the second prince's great merit be there? Lord Liu squinted.

After hearing this, Emperor Tu Duan was stunned in his mind, and he almost fainted on the spot.

His state of mind is very complicated, people in the government and the opposition, this brain is simply not an ordinary person, deceitful, insidious, everything.

…………

"Your Excellency, ......... It seems a bit difficult. ”

"What's the difficulty, just say it!" Lord Liu.

Emperor Tu Duan pondered for a moment, "One of them, the hidden barbarians were originally destroyed, and now they suddenly appear, once they arouse the anger of the emperor and decide to sweep them away, what should I do?" In addition, if we ask our men to attack the capital city on the southern border. That's bound to be a loss. You know, the power of the Immortal Gate is not great now, and it has to deal with the affairs of the Martial Sect. ”

As soon as he said that, Lord Liu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and was generous: "This is not a problem, the person who attacked can use the name of the side, such as bandits or bandits, as for the loss, this is easy to say, you can use silver to compensate, how about it?"

What Emperor Tu Duan just said was not what he was worried about at all, so in other words, it was nothing more than trying to rip off the bamboo.

"Yes, since the adults are so straightforward, then I don't have to say it! Okay, yes! "The Emperor of the Earth said happily.

"Good! Then it's decided, when will the attackers be ready? ”

"Half a month is enough."

"Yes, that's it, half a month later, if the attackers invade Liuhe City on the southern border of Xinjiang, our family will let the soldiers of the Liuhe Guard Team go to do the side business, although take advantage of the situation to enter, remember, make a big fuss!"

"There could be casualties!" The Earth Emperor whispered.

Master Liu waved his hand and simply: "That's fine."

When Emperor Tu Duan heard this, he was really shocked in his heart, and he didn't look at the Lord Liu in front of him who seemed to be weak, but when it came to means, it was much more poisonous than him.

"I understand, I will give orders when I go back, and when the time comes, everything will be at the command of the adults." Emperor of the Earth.

"Yes, then let's go and prepare, and you don't have to worry about things here in Kyoto. I don't dare to guarantee it, just one point, that Mo Tu will have a little trouble every day. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Hey, don't say that, we're just helping each other, okay!"

"Haha!" After a burst of scheming laughter, the Emperor left.

…………

After returning to the temporary residence, Emperor Tu Duan immediately instructed the people, on the one hand, to prepare a high-quality carriage and return to Wufeng Mountain as soon as possible, and on the other hand, to send people to inform the Tiangang guards who were on a mission in various places to return to Wufeng Mountain within five days.

After all the arrangements were made, Emperor Tu Duan closed the door alone, sat on the chair, and was silent for a long time.

Whirlwind burst into laughter.

The laughter was dripping and unpretentious.

…………

Soon, the next morning arrived.

…………

…………

After Mo Tu got up early in the morning, he drank two sips of things indiscriminately, and then called Ning Jiuxuan and asked if everything arranged yesterday had been done.

According to Ning Jiuxuan's reply, most of the belongings in the entire dart game had been quietly transferred out of the secret room by taking advantage of the night, leaving a small part, and people were sent to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to find the soldiers who had seized the dart car that day, but there was no news yet.

After listening to Ning Jiuxuan's words, Mo Tuluo calmed down, according to his thoughts, the worst result was nothing more than the failure of the dart game, which was not a fatal thing.

However, as everyone knows, the real trouble has just begun.

…………

At noon that day, as soon as Mo Tu finished eating, the guards came to report that many soldiers had come to the outside of the house.

This can make Mo Tu's heart surprised, and he will go out when he is busy.

I had to take a look outside, but it was terrible, and there were hundreds of people.

…………

The leading errand soldier, who is not very old, looks very handsome, and after seeing Mo Tu, he asked without hesitation: "Is it Mo Tu?"

Mo Tu looked at this person, a completely unfamiliar face, and replied with a smile: "Old man, I don't know Your Excellency?"

…………

"It's Wang Wan, the deputy general of the Kyoto Guards, who was ordered to come and ask Mo Tu to talk to the Guards." The messenger was indifferent.

"The Kyoto Guard? Ha, I'm sorry, Mo has never entered the team camp, and he is not used to this way of inviting people. Although Mo Tu's words were literally nothing, the tone was much sharper.

"Mo Tu, you have to figure out one thing, it's not us who are invited, but the team order, if you disobey the team order, you will be killed!" Wang Wan.

As soon as he said this, Mo Tu almost fainted in anger, thinking that he had been famous for a long time, but no one had ever dared to threaten him like this in front of him.

Several guards standing next to Mo Tu were a little angry, and one of them stepped forward and pointed at Wang Wan: "Presumptuous! Dare to talk like this in front of the boss, look at it I don't want to live! ”

"Oh, no!" Mo Tu pretended to reprimand.

"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to follow us?" Wang Wan ignored the guard, and still asked Mo Tu.

Mo Tu smiled and said: "The words have been said, and the old man is not a pawn in the middle of the court, and the team order is in front of him, like a piece of waste paper."

“……… This old thing, don't give face! Come on, take it! Wang Wan obviously didn't expect someone to dare to be so arrogant, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the soldiers behind him to step forward.

At this time, Mo Tu is eyes flashed slightly, his right foot tilted outward, and his whole body suddenly galloped out like a flying arrow, and with a wave of his arm forward, a mellow momentum burst out and hit the body of the soldier who rushed up.

How could those ordinary soldiers withstand this blow, and they all flew out upside down and smashed to the ground.

Mo Tu simply appeared like this, and the rest of the people were shocked, and no one dared to rush up without long eyes.

…………

“……… Dare......... Wait! Wang Wan saw that Mo Tu was so powerful that he didn't want to suffer, so after saying a heavy word, he turned around and walked back.

"Get him back." Mo Tu slowly spat out a sentence, and when a guard next to him heard it, he instantly rushed away.

Soon, Wang Wan was brought over by a bruise on his face and nose.

…………

"Get out!"

Another guard yelled at the soldiers, and immediately frightened them into fleeing.

When the guard went to capture Wang Wan, Wang Wan didn't know how to count, so he planned to do something with the guard, but he was beaten up again.

"Prick up your ears and listen, find out what kind of place this is, next time you dare to come here to be presumptuous, be careful that you can't go back." Mo Tu said evilly.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Hey, who is this who provoked the head of Mo Da like this." ”

…………

When Mo Tu heard this, he hurriedly followed the prestige, and a middle-aged man in a messenger suit walked over, followed by a few other guards.

After approaching, Mo Tu's eyes swept and found that this person was wearing a round-necked robe, and his heart was shocked.

…………

"It's really strange today, Mo Mou's martial arts practice people, there are several people from the government and the opposition who come to look for it, but it's unusual!" Mo Tu slowly.

"Don't mind if you don't mind, he is ordered to do things, and there is a place to be guilty, look at the thin face of our family, let him go." Middle-aged man.

Those who wear round-necked robes are all three-rank eunuchs, who belong to important ministers in the court, and Mo Tu treats him, but he must be careful.

…………

"I wonder who this adult is?"

"This is the chief of the emperor and the emperor, Lord Liu Jin Liu!" Next to him, a person who looks like a follower.

Hearing this, Mo Tu was surprised, and immediately thought that this was the person in charge of investigating the case, as if he had heard it before, some of the evildoers were holding some of the general orders as shields, I don't know if the owner of the token is the person in front of him.

…………

"It was Lord Liu, I have been looking up for a long time, I don't know what you are doing?" Mo Tu is silent on the surface.

"It's nothing, just to invite Master Mo to the house for a cup of tea." Liu Jin smiled.

"Ha, then maybe the adults will be disappointed, Mo is unwell today, let's discuss it another day." To treat this person, Mo Tu must give some thin noodles.

When Liu Jin heard this, he was not angry, but still smiled: "Then our family will go to Mo's Mansion to ask for a cup of tea to drink, I don't know if Master Mo can appreciate his face."

Since Liu Jin said so, he made it clear that if he didn't go with them, he would go home.

Mo Tu is not afraid of anything, but he has always been very careful in handling the relationship with the people in the government and the opposition, and the person in front of him, he doesn't know, so he has some scruples.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't have a good way, looking at Liu Jin's appearance, he had to nod: "The humble house is simple, but I am afraid that I will be wronged by the adult."

"You're welcome, if the world-famous Jiuxuan Hall is called simple, then I am afraid that only the Imperial City in this world can be said to be not ugly." Liu Jin said as he took a few steps forward.

"Your Excellency, please!"

"Don't be in charge, please!"

…………

After the two entered, Mo Tu took Liu Jin directly to the study, and after the king finished, Mo Tu ordered him to be released.

After taking a seat for tea.

Liu Jin: "Master Mo, this time our family came to talk to Master Mo about the secret delivery of salt to the dart bureau under your name some time ago."

Hearing this, Mo Tu replied: "My lord, Mo Tu has not opened the dart game for a year or two years, what is the reputation, don't boast, I believe that the people in the dart game will never participate in the transportation of people's salt."

"Hey! That being said, but the people in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing just found Minyan in the escorted dart car, how can this be explained? ”

Don't look at Liu Jin's every sentence seems to be very polite, but people who understand it will know that he has a knife in every word.

…………

"This ......... Mo really doesn't know, but he has sent someone to investigate, and I believe there will be a result. Mo Tu said patiently.

"Master Mo, the emperor's greatest grievance in his life is the sale of salt and iron, which are lifeblood. Maybe the head of the family doesn't know that someone has asked the emperor to play and pre-empt the crime of rebellion in Jiuxuantang. ”

"Haha! Lord Liu's joke is too big, the Mo family has been settled in Kyoto for nearly a hundred years, if there is really a rebellion, why wait for today? ”

"I don't know that the head of the Mo family has this idea, yesterday, our family has tried our best to persuade the emperor, don't jump to conclusions."

Although there was a bit of intercession for Mo Tu in these words, Mo Tu was unmoved, and he didn't even blink an eyelid.

…………

After a pause, Liu Jin: "There is another matter, I hope Master Mo can tell me the truth."

Mo Tu nodded: "Please speak."

"This morning, the person in charge of checking the dart bureau under his name came back to report that more than a dozen dart bureaus had seized more than one million taels of silver, which ......... Isn't it a little too little? Liu Jin asked in a low tone.

"Oh? I wonder what you mean by this? Mo Tuzuo asked rhetorically as if he didn't understand.

"The dart game under the name of Jiuxuantang, our family has heard of it, and the business can be described as a daily house gold. A dart bureau found out that a million taels are too little, and these more than a dozen dart bureaus, combined, how can they get more than 10 million taels, is it that the head of Mo has transported the silver away? ”

"What if it's really gone?" Mo Tu asked with a sneer.

Liu Jin smiled: "That's strange, the emperor ordered the seizure of the property of the dart bureau under the name of Jiuxuantang, but he said it when he was in the last dynasty, so how do you know?" Did someone report to you? Or is it a coincidence? ”

As soon as Liu Jin asked this, Mo Tu was immediately stunned in his mind, and immediately reacted that this was Liu Jin's trick for him, waiting for him to drill.

"Oh? Is that really the case? Ha, you joked, Mo didn't transfer his property at all, there are tens of thousands of taels in the dart game, that's how much. Mo Tu said busily.

Liu Jin stared at Mo Tu hard, trying to see something from his face, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong.

"If Master Mo insists on this, then you have to investigate it carefully." Liu Jin is slightly gloomy.

"Listen to me." Mo Tu is free.

At this point, both of them kept their mouths shut and were silent for a long time.

…………

Liu Jin sat there, not drinking tea, looking at Mo Tu with his eyes and smiling.

Mo Tu was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, it didn't matter, and lo and behold, this old face was not very good-looking.

In the end, Liu Jin couldn't help it, and after exhaling slowly, he spoke: "Master Mo is really thoughtful, I admire it."

"Don't dare to be!"

"In this case, then the head of the Jiuxuan Hall will sort out all the accounts of the Jiuxuan Hall and send them to the Dali Temple in two days."

Mo Tuwei smiled and waved his hand: "What you said is not right, it has to be checked, then it will be sorted out by the dart bureaus themselves, and Mo will not mix his hands."

"The accounts under the name of Jiuxuantang, how can the dart bureaus be clear, they are all sorted out by the head of the Mo sect and submitted."

"That's okay, but I have to tell you, look, these dozen or so dart bureaus are just a trivial matter, Jiuxuantang has a lot of business outside, many dart bureaus in the capital cities of other places, plus what restaurants, inns and the like, if this account is all sorted out, I'm afraid you will have to give some time." Motu estimates.

"Yes, just tell me about the time." Liu Jin is generous.

"Yes......... It's just a year for the time being, and if it's not sorted out well after a year, I'll tell you, what? Mo Tu smiled.

"........." As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he knew that Mo Tu was teasing him, so he couldn't help but be angry, and suddenly stood up.

…………

The guards brought by Liu Jin were outside the reception hall, and after they heard Liu Jin's somewhat resentful voice, they wanted to break in, but they were stopped by the three Jiuxuantang disciples standing at the door.

Mo Tu looked at Liu Jin's appearance, and was secretly amused in his heart, but on the surface, he was silent: "Adults think a year is too long? Ten months, then? ”

After a long time, Liu Jin reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Understood, Master Mo, we will have a meeting later!"

"Don't send it!"

…………

After Liu Jin left, Mo Tu slammed his fist on the table and cursed in his mouth: "Bad dog!" ”

Not everything that happened was not good for Mo Tu, at the very least, Ximenzu helped him.

Just when Liu Jingang left the Nine Xuantang, Ximen Zu arrived at the Wuwang Mansion.

…………

After seeing King Wu, Ximen Zu was straightforward: "Lord Wang, is there a problem that can not be solved by Motu?"

King Wu: "Motu that guy, although this king doesn't know him, he has heard of it, and he doesn't look like a person who will secretly send salt to the people."

Ximen Zu nodded: "His character, but Ximen can guarantee it." Although he is sometimes annoyed, he can't help but admit that he is a downright person and has a prominent position in the martial arts, how can a person like him do such a thing. ”

"That's someone deliberately manipulating him." King Wu.

"I think it should be, but if I think about it carefully, this matter can't be done by someone in the martial arts, Jiuxuantang's reputation is too loud, and those who have the power to compete with him will not do this kind of thing behind the scenes, and no one dares to do it without that strength. You should know that those who practice martial arts are arrogant and have always been unaccustomed to this kind of tricks. ”

"Who did the emperor give this errand to?" King Wu suddenly asked.

Ximen Zu replied: "Liu Jin, now the emperor trusts him very much."

"Liu Jin? Did he ask for it on his own initiative? ”

"Yes, among the hundreds of differences, many of them have friendships with Mo Tu, and no one wants to take this errand, but Liu Jin may not be familiar with Mo Tu."

"But it's strange, Liu Jin, the head of the inner house, is not staying in the palace, how can he be so concerned about the case of selling salt in Kyoto?" King Wu asked to himself.

As soon as Ximen Zu heard this, he asked tentatively: "Could it be that you are saying that Liu Jin is deliberately looking for trouble for him?"

"Not necessarily, Liu Jin should have no reason to go to trouble someone from a martial arts sect." King Wu pondered.

Ximenzu echoed: "You are right, but the main thing at the moment is whether you can avoid Mo Tu's troubles. Looking at Liu Jin's appearance in the court, it seems that he is predestined to put Mo Tu on a desperate road, and a person like Mo Tu, once he is pressed a little tighter, I am afraid that he will have a meaning. With his power, if he really wants to make some noise in Kyoto, it is really not a difficult task. ”

King Wu smiled: "Hey, how can you say that, just say that you have a good relationship with him, and you want to protect him, why bother with this."

"Ha, what you reprimand, Lord Wang, is that he is too old to speak."

"Yes, go into the palace at night to talk to the emperor about this." King Wu nodded.

"Hey, then thank you so much." As he spoke, Ximenzu stood up and gave a gesture.

…………

…………

Night comes.

Around the end of the day, King Wu took a carriage and came to the imperial palace.

The guards of the imperial palace saw the frame of King Wu from afar, and immediately knelt on the ground to show that the emperor had already made a decree, and the frame of King Wu could enter and leave the palace freely.

has been notified in advance, the emperor knows that the king of Wu is coming, at this time.

The emperor sat in the imperial study, reading a book while waiting for him.

…………

When the carriage arrived outside the noon gate, it stopped, and the rest of the road, even if it was King Wu, had to walk over, this is the imperial city, and there were iron rules that no one dared to trespass in ancient times.

Outside the imperial study, after the eunuch in the palace reported, King Wu walked in alone.

…………

"Ha, Uncle Wu, it's coming!" When the emperor saw King Wu coming, he smiled.

"Your Majesty, long live Qi Fu!"

"Uncle Wu is exempt, sit down." Today's emperor has great respect for King Wu.

"Thank you, Emperor." King Wu agreed, and sat down on the chair below.

…………

"Come on, go and bring a bowl of the whole lotus soup made by the emperor." The emperor commanded casually.

"Uncle Wu, it's so late, is there something?"

"Yes, the old minister is here, there is something to discuss with the emperor."

"Okay, Uncle Wu, then let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that this dart bureau opened by the Jiuxuantang in Kyoto is suspected of participating in the transportation of people's salt?" King Wu asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, the emperor returned to the chair and sat down, and said slowly: "Look, this Mo Tu's connections are really wide, and he actually invited Uncle Wu to intercede for him."

As soon as King Wu finished speaking, the emperor knew that he was here to intercede, and he couldn't help but make the scene a little embarrassing.

"Ha, the emperor, you misunderstood, the old minister is not interceding for him, but wants to tell you what he thinks."

"As long as it's not interceding for him. Uncle Wu, please speak, let's talk slowly today, and make a statement, Uncle Wu will be innocent of anything today. ”

As he spoke, a eunuch came over with a tray, put the bowl on the tray on the table in the hand of King Wu, and went out.

"Come, Uncle Wu taste it, this is made by the emperor himself, I drank a bowl at dinner, it was very fragrant!" The emperor smiled.

King Wu nodded politely, and took a small sip while holding it up.

…………

"Emperor, as far as the old minister knows, this Jiuxuantang is famous in the northern country, and even in the martial arts, its head is Motu, and he is a martial artist." After King Wu put down the bowl, he said.

The emperor nodded: "Yes, I know this, so I just sent someone to seize his dart game, otherwise, he would have been raided a long time ago!"

King Wu: "However, the old minister thinks that with his identity and status, it is impossible to do such a forbidden thing."

When the emperor heard this, he shook his head: "Uncle Wu, you can't say that, selling people's salt is a huge profit, once he forms a series of trading rings, it will be more profitable than opening a dart game."

"The old minister has a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Hey, I have just promised, whatever I say today, I am not guilty!"

"Thank you to the emperor, the old minister thinks, first, Jiuxuantang is a big faction in the world, and it has taken root in Kyoto, and I believe that the successive heads of Jiuxuantang are more or less related to the Baiqi in our dynasty. So, Mo Tu will be for some silver profits, and it is taboo to go to the emperor at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”

“……… Second, Mo Tuwu is profound, a person, although the old minister does not know him, but he has heard it, but he is called the word 'Leiluo', this kind of person will never do this kind of unsightly business. ”

After King Wu finished speaking, the emperor frowned and pondered, "Uncle Wu, I am telling the truth today, there is a sentence that I have never said to anyone, do you want to hear it?" ”

This sentence stunned King Wu's question. Knowing how dangerous it is, not to mention the emperor's words, since he has never mentioned it to others, that is, he doesn't want others to know, so if this word spreads in the future, won't King Wu become the person who shows the emperor's will?

…………

Seeing that King Wu was stunned there, the emperor immediately understood, and smiled: "Uncle Wu, look, just think too much, it's okay." This will be told to the DPRK and China after a while, so it is better to let Uncle Wu listen carefully. ”

"Yes, listen up!" When King Wu heard the emperor say this, he was relieved.

"What I'm worried about is not that Motu can make huge profits from selling people's salt, but that once he gets involved in people's salt, it will be difficult to guarantee that he won't mix copper, iron and other things, once this happens, his safety in Kyoto, this imperial city, I am not so relieved."

The emperor's words were very vague, but when King Wu heard it in his ears, he could immediately understand: "Could it be that the emperor, are you worried that Mo Tu will have a great rebellion?" ”

The emperor smiled: "The relationship between the government and the opposition and the martial arts has always been very delicate, but the martial arts are under the royal road after all, and everything can't be done too out of line." This time, it needs to be seriously investigated, if it is really instructed by Mo Tu, then I will definitely behead his whole family, if not, then I will reward him with a million taels of silver as compensation. ”

"It turns out that this is what you are worried about, Your Majesty." King Wu sighed.

"Yes, I have always hated the involvement of the officials in the DPRK and the people in the martial arts, and the ordinary contacts are nothing. But if someone preemptively uses the hands of people in the martial arts sect to do something that should not be done......... For example, if this matter is a book review, there may be a third possibility, that is, people with unpredictable intentions can use Jiuxuantang as a shield. ”

"Alas, Emperor, your mind is really too meticulous, and the old minister admires it." King Wu sighed heartily.

The emperor smiled: "These are all things that Uncle Wu talked about at the beginning, but you don't dare to forget them for a day." This throne was not my turn to sit on the throne, but since the dragon luck fell from heaven on my head, I had to think about it with all my might! ”

Something suddenly popped up in King Wu's heart, and he wanted to say it now, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help it.

"Emperor, if you can trust the minister, then leave this matter to the minister!" Martial King's tone was firm.

The emperor waved his hand: "No, Uncle Wu is old, when he is happy, how can he work hard, he has already made Liu Jin go."

At this time, King Wu suddenly got up from his chair and knelt on the ground: "Emperor! It's not that you dislike the old minister and think that the old minister is useless! ”

…………

Seeing King Wu suddenly kneeling on the ground, the emperor was quite surprised, and hurriedly got up from the chair, and after going around the table, he helped King Wu up, while "Uncle Wu, why is this?" Get up. ”

After King Wu stood up, he still: "Your Majesty, the old minister heard what Fang Cai said, and only then did he know the stakes of this matter, and the old minister wanted to take on the important task himself!" I hope that the emperor can be fulfilled! ”

The emperor made King Wu sit down, and he sat opposite: "Uncle Wu, I understand your loyalty, but you are old, when you were young, you had done a lot of great things for the world, and now how can you bear to make you tired."

King Wu: "Emperor, the old minister is already a half-buried person in the loess, and seeing that it will not take many years to pre-fit the local style, you will give the next opportunity to make the old minister do something for the emperor, okay?"

These words, King Wu was very sincere, he couldn't help but speak in a sincere tone, and his face was a little pleading, which made the emperor very unbearable for a while.

"This ........." Although he did not agree, but he did not refuse directly, how shrewd King Wu was, he immediately seized this opportunity and continued: "The old minister said something that he didn't like, you appointed Liu Jin as the chief manager, then he should be in the imperial palace, and he should take care of everything every day, and he will work hard." There are so many things in the palace, I am afraid that Liu Jin has no time to promise. ”

"Yes......... What Uncle Wu said has some truth. The emperor was slightly relieved.

King Wu closed his mouth in amusement, and he must not say it, otherwise, it would make the emperor feel that he was oppressing him.

…………

After half a cup of tea, the emperor spoke: "I have to talk to Liu Jin about this matter, if he rashly asks him to do more errands, it will make him feel uneasy."

"Yes, this old minister doesn't dare to say more. If you don't have any orders, the emperor will retire. "King Wu is respectful.

The emperor smiled: "Yes, then Uncle Wu will go back and rest early."

"The old minister retires!" With that, King Wu turned around and took a step and left the imperial study.

After walking a few steps, he happened to meet Shi Ao, the commander of the Emperor's Guard.

…………

Shi Ao looked at King Wu, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "I've seen the prince on a mission."

King Wu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Shi Ao, so he politely helped him up, and immediately asked, "Why, it's so late, but General Shi doesn't rest."

Shi Ao smiled slightly, "The prince is smiling, but he doesn't dare to call himself a general in front of you." The errand is for the affairs of Mr. Liu, and he specially came to ask the emperor. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bother you late at night. ”

When King Wu heard that he was coming for Liu Jin's business, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he couldn't ask questions, so he had to smile: "Ha, that's busy, this king is going back."

"Congratulations to the prince on a mission."

…………

After coming out of the Imperial City, the Martial King frowned all the way, as if he was thinking about something.

After King Wu left, the emperor originally wanted to go back to rest, but he heard that it was Shi Ao, the commander of the emperor's Yiwei, who asked to see him.

…………

After Shi Ao came in, he said, "Emperor, Manager Liu came to the door today." said that he wanted to call the emperor Yiwei to capture Mo Tu of Jiuxuantang, and the minister originally wanted to refuse, but he said that the emperor had given him the will to do it cheaply, and the minister felt that the emperor Yiwei was not suitable to participate in these things, so he came to ask the emperor to play. ”

After hearing this, the emperor frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there such a thing?"

"The emperor wants to ask for forgiveness, but the minister didn't mean to do so, and he really feels that the matter is very important." Shi Ao.

The emperor waved his hand: "Get up, what's wrong with the general?" If this is the case, it is that he Liu Jin is a little reckless, how can Emperor Yiwei participate in local affairs? It's nonsense! After arriving, the emperor's tone was already a little resentful.

"Oh, there is another thing, Mr. Liu gave the minister a thing today, saying that it is the authentic handwriting of the ancient masters, where can the minister be worthy of this kind of treasure, the minister wants to dedicate it to the emperor." With that, Shi Ao took out a scroll from his cuff and put his hands on the bookcase.

Shi Ao was indeed very clever in doing this, and he didn't explicitly say that Liu Jin gave him a gift, but he expressed his meaning clearly.

…………

"Pass the decree and let Liu Jin enter the palace quickly!" After a long while, the emperor was silent.

"Command!" Shi Ao agreed, and then turned and left.

…………

In less than a stick of incense, Liu Jin hurried to the imperial study.

As soon as they met, without waiting for Liu Jin to show him, the emperor said: "Excuse me, I heard about it." Went to find Shi Ao? ”

Hearing this, Liu Jin's heart chuckled, and he scolded Shi Ao's head and feet in his heart.

"I'm asking!" The emperor suddenly asked sharply.

Liu Jin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The emperor forgives the sin, the minister......... The minister has something to do. ”

“………”

"The minister has seen Mo Tu today, but that guy relied on his advanced martial arts, injured the messenger who was ordered to capture him, and reverted to contempt for the minister, so the minister wanted to reprimand him."

As soon as Liu Jin said a word, the emperor asked: "Capture his pawn?" When did I say I had captured him? ”

"This ......... Didn't you say that you want your ministers to act cheaply.................."

Mentioning this, the emperor was a little speechless, he did tell Liu Jin at the beginning, he could act cheaply when necessary, and as for whether the things he did were within the "cheap" range, it would not be good.

"I've said it, but I've thought about it a lot, what kind of character is Mo Tu, do you need to say it clearly? If I wanted to take him, I would have decreed it a long time ago, and I would have used it like this? ”

Hearing that the emperor's tone was very unhappy, Liu Jin didn't dare to say anything.

"Besides, no matter what the reason, the person who can't go to the secondment of the Emperor Yiwei without authorization, wants to hide it from me? But to send things to Shi Ao, don't you know Wuzhen's will, no one can mobilize the emperor Yiwei? The emperor reprimanded while throwing the scroll that Fang Cai Shi Ao had brought to the ground.

"Damn it!"

"Liu Jin, look at that, I've been a little tired lately, it's better to do this, put this errand on hold, go back to recuperate for a while, and let others do it!"

"No! The emperor can't! When Liu Jin heard this, his tone was very moving, as if he had been stepped on by his tail.

Seeing Liu Jin's appearance, the emperor was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" Such a big move? ”

…………

Liu Jin was asked by the emperor like this, and suddenly felt that he was a little out of shape, so he was busy: "The emperor forgives the crime, the minister is now investigating this case, and he is already a little eyebrows, if the emperor does not make the minister continue to investigate, then I am afraid that there will be omissions in many places."

When the emperor heard this, he suddenly became interested and asked slowly: "Yes, speaking of which, what has been found?"

"The minister once sent someone to count the property in the name of the Jiuxuantang Dart Bureau, but it was very strange, surprisingly few, and then he asked Mo Tu, although he said that there were only so many, but the minister always felt that he had transferred it in advance."

"Advance transfer? That's impossible, how did he know the news? The emperor asked suspiciously.

"This ......... The minister dared to guess that it should be a messenger in the court who reported the news. Liu Jin said while quietly observing the emperor's face.

"Is there such a thing? Hum! The emperor suddenly slapped the table again, as if he was very angry.

After a while, the emperor: "Liu Jin, this matter is very good, but I feel that it is a bit of a vain use of talents." Let's put this matter aside for a while, and concentrate on managing all the affairs in the palace for me. ”

…………

"Emperor! If the ministers are unfavorable, please punish the emperor! Liu Jin kowtowed.

"I didn't say that things were bad."

"The minister doesn't understand why the emperor dismissed the minister's errand in advance." Although Liu Jin's tone was humble, his attitude was very firm.

A strange thought suddenly popped up in the emperor's mind.

This matter can be big or small, why did King Wu and Liu Jin rush to deal with this matter?

Such a tricky matter is really difficult to deal with, especially involving the delicate relationship between the government and the opposition and the martial arts.

These questions are just going around in the emperor's mind, and they won't be said, and the way to be a king is to make his subordinates unable to guess their minds.

"Liu Jin's work, I have always been relieved, but this time, I am a little impatient, not as steady as before, you must know that the relationship between the government and the opposition and the martial arts is very complicated, once it is not handled well, it will bring unforeseen disasters."

"The minister knows, I hope I ask the emperor for forgiveness, the minister wants to share the emperor's worries as soon as possible."

"Yes, get up, this loyalty, I understand, this matter is over, from tomorrow onwards, this matter will not be stabbed." The emperor suddenly.

"The emperor ........." Liu Jin was in a hurry and almost knelt down.

"Don't kneel, it's Uncle Wu who wants to take over this matter, Uncle Wu is old, and he wants to do something despite the hardships, I can't help it." The emperor threw out a sentence lightly.

"His Royal Highness the Martial King? He is an old man, and he should be blessed. "Liu Jin.

"Yes, I persuaded him like this, but there was no way, Uncle Wu just insisted, his old man made some requests, can I not agree? Liu Jin, listen to my advice, if you really want to do this errand, go and talk to Uncle Wu, otherwise, you will happily put this matter down early tomorrow morning, how to go, and choose yourself. ”

If someone else robs him of this errand, then Liu Jin is really not afraid, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, which one will not give Liu Jin a few thin noodles, but this person is the only martial king that Liu Jin does not dare to provoke.

Now when he heard that it was King Wu who robbed this errand, Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

However, Liu Jin's perseverance made him step from an unknown little eunuch to the current head of the Great Interior, and he said without thinking: "If this is the case, then the minister has nothing to say, and tomorrow, the minister will go to meet His Royal Highness King Wu."

"Alas, Liu Jin, why bother? I have to fight with Uncle Wu for this. The emperor didn't expect Liu Jin to say this, and he was a little helpless for a while.

"Your Majesty, the minister's temperament, you don't understand."

"Yes, then don't say more, after the matter has a result, let's go back and forth, go down, and take that thing away." The emperor waved his hand and told him to leave.

After Liu Jin bowed down, he picked up the scroll and left the imperial study.

…………

After stepping out of the imperial study, Liu Jin's face immediately showed a gloomy look, and his steps became very fast.

After leaving the imperial city, Liu Jin immediately returned home, and asked the servants to burn some of the things they had found in the past few days, and instructed the servants to make him go to King Wu's mansion overnight to post, and at the beginning of tomorrow, he would go to visit His Royal Highness King Wu.

Liu Jinzhi knew that even if he went, the King of Fear of Martial Arts would not agree, he had been in the field for many years, and now he had climbed to this position. It can be said that he is a good hand at speculating on people's hearts.

What is the intention of King Wu, he is not very clear, but one thing he is sure of is that once King Wu takes over, then he will definitely try his best to help Mo Tu get out of trouble, in other words, in this matter, the two of them are on opposite sides, he wants to destroy Mo Tu with one heart, then the other party, isn't it the opposite?

However, even if Liu Jin knew this result, he would be able to go to the Wuwang Mansion tomorrow.

First, he must show others to see, especially the emperor, so that the emperor knows that he is a serious and hard-working person.

Second, he went to explore the truth and try his style, and figured out what the Martial King's intentions were, whether he wanted to help Mo Tu, or something else.

In the end, it is an important point, that is, he Liu Jin wants to know that some of the things he does secretly are not known to King Wu.

According to Liu Jin's understanding, it is impossible for King Wu to take over such an errand for no reason, and his identity and status have no reason to be in charge of this matter.

Thinking about it, Liu Jin felt that his brain was messed up, and even in the end, it was like a mess.

Finally, he was so upset that he simply didn't want to do anything, and went straight back to the bedroom to sleep.

…………

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Liu Jin got up.

And I was busy in the study for a while, and then I went out.

I didn't come back until noon, and after eating, I saw that the time was almost up, so I hurried to the Wuwang Mansion.

…………

I had already asked him a day in advance, and when Liu Jin came to the gate of King Wu's Mansion, there was already a housekeeper waiting for him outside.

"Lord Liu, you're here!" The butler politely took a look.

Liu Jin smiled and arched his hand: "It's hard work."

"The prince is waiting for you in the study, please come with me." After the butler said that, he led the way and walked to the house.

When he received the post and knew that Liu Jinzhen came to him, King Wu didn't feel strange, and even had some secret joy.

"Lord Wang, Lord Liu is here." The housekeeper is outside the study.

Soon, the voice of the Martial King came from inside: "Yes, let him in." ”

…………

When Liu Jin walked in, King Wu was reading a book, his eyelids didn't roll, and he didn't seem to take him seriously at all.

"I've seen the prince on a business trip." Liu Jin knelt on the ground and made a gesture.

King Wu moved the book away from his eyes while saying, "Yes, it's free."

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Mr. Liu is in charge of everything, how can he have free time to come to this king's place today." King Wu put the book on the table, picked up the tea bowl and took a small sip of tea.

"Lord Wang, I came today on a business trip because I want to discuss something with the prince."

"Say it."

"When I met the emperor yesterday, I heard that the prince had taken over the case of the dart bureau under the name of Jiuxuantang secretly sending salt to the people, and I was a little reluctant to go." Liu Jin.

King Wu smiled slightly, skimming the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid on the tea bowl, and asked, "What's the reason not to go?"

"Lord Wang, you have been tired for decades, now is the time to enjoy happiness, and this case has been investigated by the poor, I hope the prince can give the poor face."

As soon as he heard Liu Jin say this, King Wu immediately determined that the emperor must have exempted Liu Jin from this errand, but Liu Jin was unwilling and came to him in person.

Thinking of this, King Wu: "This matter was mentioned to the emperor yesterday, and the emperor needs to think about it, why, I saw the emperor yesterday?" So what did the emperor say? ”

Asked about this, although Liu Jin was very reluctant, he had to say it, and he didn't dare to say nonsense: "Emperor......... The emperor's envoys put down this errand and handed it over to His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

"That's not it. Look, the emperor has said that he who is a courtier can have any good words. That's it, I will hand over this case tomorrow, and ask Mr. Liu to sort out all the clues found in the past few days, and turn them over to this king. King Wu didn't give Liu Jin a chance to continue arguing, and began to talk about the handover directly, but Liu Jin was a little unexpected.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Jin's heart was like a mirror, knowing that King Wu was in charge of this matter, and in this case, he didn't have to argue, otherwise, once King Wu got angry, he would be in trouble. "Since the prince is bent on sharing worries for the emperor, there is no other intention except admiration, and this matter will be done according to the prince's instructions, only ......... It's just that some clues found in the past few days, for the sake of secrecy, there is no record left, but the difference is recorded in the mind, if the prince needs it, the next difference can be written. ”

Liu Jin's careful thinking couldn't be concealed in the eyes of King Wu: "Oh? Then there's no need, just go back to the king and think of it himself, does Mr. Liu have anything else? ”

Hearing this, King Wu was pre-evicted, but Liu Jin had no intention of leaving, and asked: "Lord Wang, dare to ask, I don't know what the Lord thinks about this case of transporting people's salt?"

"Yes......... It's nothing for the time being, but to digress, this king always suspects that there seem to be people in the court who are secretly ventilating some martial arts people and doing some unsightly things. "King Wu's words are clearly knocking on the mountain to scare the tiger.

Since the last time Yi Xian brought that news, King Wu had always taken that matter to heart, and now he happened to take advantage of this opportunity to knock Liu Jin on him.

Sure enough, after Liu Jin heard it, his expression was obviously a little weird, and all of this was captured in his mind.

"This ......... What the prince said was something he had never thought about. Liu Jin was a little panicked.

"This may be the king's thoughts, but for the emperor, you must be thoughtful, this is the same as playing chess, whoever calculates a lot and plans closely will be able to win, what does Manager Liu think?" King Wu asked lightly.

"That's it, I'm taught."

"Lord Wang, if you don't have any orders, you will retire on a business trip, and at noon tomorrow, the case will be handed over in the official residence of Dali Temple, what do you think?"

"Yes, just do what Manager Liu says."

"Yes, then I'll retire on a business trip."

"Master Liu walks slowly, and this king will not be far away."

…………

After leaving the Wuwang Mansion, Liu Jin, who was originally ordinary, suddenly had a disgusted face, and he gritted his teeth and walked into the sedan chair, while constantly exerting the atmosphere.

Just after Liu Jingang left, the side door behind King Wu's study was pushed open, and a person came out of it, who was the prince of the dynasty......... Simonzu.

"Lord Wang."

"Brother Simon, sit, how do you see something?" King Wu asked.

Ximenzu sat down and said, "At first, I didn't think anything of it, but then when he asked you what you thought about it, it seemed a little strange. He didn't want to say something from the prince's mouth? ”

"Not bad!" King Wu suddenly slapped the table, "I thought of going together." Only then did this king speak out to shock him. ”

"I have to say, I really admire the trick of the prince knocking on the mountain and scaring the tiger, as soon as you say it, he Liu Jin left immediately......... He must have noticed something. "Simonzu.

"Fang is here, when he heard someone ventilating the people in the martial arts, his expression was very unnatural, think about it, he Liu Jin has been in the court for many years, and his appearance and pretense are all first-class, but today he is timid, what does it mean?" King Wu asked Ximen Zu.

Ximenzu nodded: "The prince has poked him in the sore spot."

…………

"Yes, this matter needs to be hurried, yes, has there been any movement from the eldest prince recently?" King Wu asked.

Ximen Zu shook his head: "There is no movement, but it is the same as usual, but there is something wrong with the second prince recently."

King Wu was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "What do you mean?" What's wrong? ”

"A few days ago, Ye Shuo was ordered to accompany the eldest prince to Shenshan to hunt, and met the second prince on the way, and then the two had a dispute and almost started."

"What? Is there such a thing? King Wu suddenly sat up straight and asked in a surprised tone.

…………

According to the night story, it seems that the two of them flew into a deer at the same time, the eldest prince flew into the head of the deer, and the second prince was the hind legs of the deer. The second prince felt ridiculed, and he almost started fighting, but fortunately he was persuaded by Ye Shuo and some guards. ”

"Humph! This foolish boy! Does the emperor know about this? King Wu asked with some annoyance.

"I don't know, no one dares to mention it to the emperor."

"In this way, go back and find an opportunity, call the eldest prince out, and discipline him so well, this kid is becoming more and more reckless, for such a trivial matter, hum!" King Wu snapped.

Ximen Zu smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, he is a young man, act quickly and urgently, this is also a common thing."

…………

King Wu: "Come on, look at the night and say that child, how do you like it, do things steadily and properly, be low-key, and you will definitely be a talented person in the future!"

Hearing King Wu praise Ximen Ye and say, Ximen Zu was naturally overjoyed, but his mouth was modest: "Lord Wang, you have praised it, but there are many things that need to be changed."

"Yes, the young man I brought last time is called Yi ........." King Wu frowned, but couldn't remember.

"Yi Xian." Ximenzu reminded on the side.

"Yes, Yi Xian, have you seen him lately?" King Wu asked.

Ximenzu smiled: "People are from the martial arts, and there is something important in them, how can they stay in Kyoto, and now they don't know where to go, what's the matter, the prince has something to do with him?"

…………

King Wu shook his head: "It's no big deal, I just want to play chess recently, but I can't find a suitable opponent."

"Why, haven't you been playing chess with that old fellow lately?" Ximenzu asked curiously.

"Moti him! I get angry at the mention of it. Xi's body is stinky, and he is not serious at all when he plays chess, which is boring. "King Wu sneered.

"Ha, that's good, if you see Yi Xian in the future, you will definitely drag him to play chess with the prince." Ximenzu smiled.

"Lord Wang, if it's okay, just leave, there is something else going on at home." Ximenzu pondered that the time was almost up, and he was ready to leave.

"Okay, then go back, tomorrow at noon, accompany the king to Dali Temple." King Wu.

When Ximenzu heard this, he asked a little strangely, "Go with you?" That's probably not appropriate. ”

"What's inappropriate, there are hundreds of differences in the court, who doesn't know that Ximen Zu and this king have been friends for many years, it doesn't matter, in this Kyoto, except for the emperor, who dares to be presumptuous in front of this king." King Wu is quite majestic.

"Yes, since the prince said so, then I will accompany you tomorrow." Ximenzu nodded.

…………

After leaving from King Wu's Mansion, Ximen Zu was busy sending people to Jiuxuantang on the way home, so that someone would invite Mo Tu.

Mo Tu was anxious at home, and when he heard that Ximenzu was looking for him, his heart tightened, and he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, so he rushed straight to him.

…………

As soon as Ximen Zu sat down and didn't take a few sips of tea, the attendant came to report that Mo Tu had arrived.

…………

…………

"What is this for?" Ximenzu was very dissatisfied.

Mo Tu smiled bitterly: "I'm offended, it's really urgent."

"Ha, it's really unproductive, with such a big name in the martial arts, why is it so worried about this now?" Simonzu joked.

Mo Tu: "Alas, Mo Ti, tell me what has changed?"

"There's a change, and it's good for us." Simonzu.

"Huh? If it's good for us, that's good! When Mo Tu heard this, his heart was relieved, and he didn't ask what was going on.

Ximen Zu said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Wu has asked the emperor to take over this case in advance, and the emperor has agreed, and the handover will be completed in Dali Temple tomorrow." From tomorrow, this matter will be under the care of His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

"Huh? This......... What kind of good news is this? As if he was very disappointed, the glimmer of excitement that had just risen dissipated in a blink of an eye.

"This guy is really an elm head, King Wu and I have been friends for many years, even if it is on my face, I will take care of it more." Simonzu.

"That's what I said, but Brother Simon doesn't know it, although the loss of money is distressing, but it's not a fatal thing, what Mo wants to know is who is secretly framing Jiuxuantang, knowing this is the most important thing!" Mo Tu sighed.

Ximenzu nodded: "Understood." But don't worry, you have to come step by step, in order, so that the prince can take over, you can slow down a little, and the prince will send someone to investigate, and Brother Mo can also check. It's better to go hand in hand like this than to go it alone. ”

Hearing this, Mo Tu seemed to be understood, and said on the one hand, "Yes, in reason."

"Don't worry, tomorrow the prince will finish going to Dali Temple. I try to let the prince go to Mo's mansion in person and talk to Brother Mo in detail, how about it? Ximenzu asked.

"No, how can the prince deign to come here, if there is something, just give an order." Mo Tu is not as good as Yi Xian, Yi Xian is young and has not lived in Kyoto for a long time, but Mo Tu is rooted here, and he naturally has a little more sleek air on him.

"Yes, go back quickly, just relax." Simon Zu Anhe.

"I'm going to bother a lot, I'll go back if it's okay, but I have to arrange a lot of things."

"Then I won't send it."

"Look, you're kind to this!" Mo Tu waved his hand and walked out quickly.

After Liu Jin returned home, he locked himself in the study alone, and kept walking around, he was a little worried, a little annoyed, and the successful plan was interrupted by the king of Yiwu reaching out.

"No! In any case, this matter cannot be taken over by the Warrior King. Liu Jin secretly made up his mind.

However, it is easy to say, but it is too difficult to do, the emperor has agreed to make King Wu run an errand, and Liu Jin does not dare to provoke King Wu, how can this be done.

At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.

Liu Jin looked up and saw that it was his entourage walking with a tray.

This long is called the afternoon baby, which was originally struck the gong on the side ——— when singing big drum opera in Kyoto, and was later hired into the house by Liu Jin because he looked at his tiger appearance.

…………

"Sir." Wuwa walked in and greeted her.

Liu Jin was upset, and wanted to scold him, but he couldn't help it, and just asked in a bad tone: "What are you doing?"

…………

Wuwa knew that Liu Jin was upset, so she brought a bowl of soup to Liu Jin: "Master, look at you have something to worry about, Wuwa specially boiled a bowl of lotus seed soup to calm your nerves." ”

After Liu Jin heard this, he suppressed the irritability in his heart and pointed to the table: "Put it there."

"Yes, sir!" After Wuwa put down the bowl, she went out in advance, but after thinking about it for a while, she finally spoke: "Master, do you have anything to worry about?"

Wuwa looked at Liu Jin secretly and asked timidly.

…………

Liu Jin didn't want to say it, but this anger was very uncomfortable in his heart, "Alas, it's all a matter of the government and the opposition, and it's very annoying." ”

"Master, you shouldn't be annoyed, the emperor trusts you so much, but what can't you solve?" Afternoon baby.

Liu Jin nodded: "That's true, but this trouble, even if the emperor helps, can't solve it."

"The master deceives people, Wuwa doesn't believe it, in this world, how can there be something that the emperor can't solve?" Wuwa had no intention of saying.

"Dogs are harmful......... Well? What the!! Liu Jin wanted to scold him a few words, but as if he thought of something for a moment, he suddenly grabbed Wuwa's hand and asked in a hurried voice.

Wuwa was frightened by Liu Jin's move, but she thought that she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly went around to the front, knelt in front of Liu Jin, and trembled all over. "Sir......... Damn the villain! ”

"Hahaha! God helps! Get up, get up. How could the afternoon baby die, but it helped the master a lot! Ha! Liu Jin laughed loudly while dragging the afternoon baby up, and the sound made the entourage standing a little farther away from the door hear it terrifyingly.

"Afternoon baby! Wait at home, and the master will come back and reward you! Liu Jin patted the shoulder of the afternoon baby who seemed to be still in a daze, and then walked out quickly.

…………

"Who's that! Hurry up and prepare the car and go to the Fuwang Mansion! As soon as Liu Jinren came out of the study, he began to command.

In a short time, someone prepared the carriage, and as soon as Liu Jin stepped into the carriage, the carriage galloped forward.

…………

…………

It took less than two pillars of incense to stop in front of a royal palace on Northwest Street in Kyoto.

Liu Jin got out of the carriage, walked up the steps quickly, and walked towards the guard at the door: "Please go and report quickly, the chief manager Liu Jin has an urgent matter to see His Royal Highness King Fu!"

"Lord Liu, later!" The guards knew Liu Jin and knew that he had a close relationship with his master, and now that he was so anxious, he knew that there must be something urgent, so he didn't dare to delay, so he ran in three steps and two steps, and after a while, he turned back and told Liu Jin that King Fu was waiting in the study.

…………

Liu Jin was no stranger to King Fu's mansion, and after coming to the outside of the study, he found that the door of the study was open, and a young man in an earth-colored brocade robe was standing inside. This person is the blessed king.

"See the ......... of Fortune on a Mission"

"Okay, excuse me, what's the matter with being in such a hurry to find the door?" King Fu waved his hand and stopped him.

This blessed king is not an outsider, but the second son of the current emperor, that is, the second prince.

These two princes like to think about some conspiracy, and when they come and go, they get close to Liu Jin.

…………

Among the princes, only the eldest prince Quanwang, and the second prince Fuwang have the hope of becoming the crown prince, the third prince, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are all without ideas, and as for the rest of the princes, they have not grown up at all.

The prince of the whole king, born to like martial arts, and read all the books, astronomy, earth history, yin, yang, everything is unknown, is a rare general, a few years ago personally led the conquest, pacified the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and made great contributions, but this king has a problem, that is, he is too straight, there are many people who offend, and there are many people in the court, and there are few who are good friends with him.

The second prince, King Fu, has always regarded the whole king as a secret enemy, and his relationship with him is not very good, and he almost fought with him that day when he was hunting.

…………

"Your Highness, there is something urgent to discuss with you." Liu Jin said as he blinked his eyes.

King Fu understood, so he sent away the surrounding guards, introduced Liu Jin into the study, and sat down: "Say it."

"Your Highness, you know about the secret delivery of salt to the people in Kyoto in the past few days."

King Fu nodded: "Yes, I heard that my father didn't hand over this errand to Mr. Liu?"

Liu Jin sighed: "Your Highness, this matter was originally handed over to the subordinates, but it was snatched away by His Royal Highness the Martial King."

"Oh? Uncle Wu? King Fu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I came here to ask His Highness on a mission, and I really have to help Liu." Liu Jin said sincerely.

King Fu smiled slightly: "Really, just such a worthwhile special trip to find it?" If you don't let you check, you won't do it, what are you afraid of? ”

"Hey, Your Highness, this matter is not so simple, you listen to what Liu told you........." Next, Liu Jin said in a very low tone, and his lips moved quickly in front of King Fu.

After a long time, Liu Jin took a few steps back.

King Fu frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and after a moment, he spoke: "Is this so?" In that case, this errand must be done by Manager Liu? ”

Liu Jin smiled: "Your Highness, you can't do it, you think, if it's someone else, but His Royal Highness the Martial King, the next errand doesn't have the guts."

"What does Mr. Liu mean?" King Fu asked suspiciously.

"The difference means that the difference can't be done, but ......... Your Highness, you can go and do it yourself. "Liu Jin.

This sentence made King Fu's heart light up, and he suddenly smiled: "Yes!" That's a good idea! ”

However, King Xuanfu's face suddenly darkened: "But......... This Uncle Wu's place, this king is not very easy to go, Manager Liu is not unaware, except for his father, everyone who sees Uncle Wu has to be frightened. ”

…………

When Liu Jin heard this, he smiled in his heart, and said: "Your Highness, this is easy to do, you might as well go directly to meet the emperor and fight for the emperor's general trend."

"So, what's the best way to say it?" King Fu asked.

"Your Highness wants to share your worries for the emperor, Your Highness, don't you know the emperor? Hearing this, the emperor must be happy! Liu Jin took the opportunity.

King Fu thought for a moment, but shook his head: "According to this, the original father of this matter was handed over to General Manager Liu, and later transferred it to Uncle Wu, so if it is handed over to this king again, wouldn't my father be capricious and untrustworthy?" I am afraid that my father will not agree to this. ”

"Your Royal Highness, the emperor handed over this errand to King Wu, only the mission and King Wu know, and the next mission and King Wu made an appointment to hand over at Dali Temple at noon tomorrow. If Your Highness had done it before that, it wouldn't have come out. On the way, Liu Jin had already thought about this matter quickly, and he had thought about everything he should have thought about before he answered so quickly.

After listening to Liu Jin's words, King Fu sat down on the chair slowly, and after a while, he whispered: "This king knows about this, go back, and this king will think about it again."

"Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity." Liu Jin was afraid that King Fu would not make up his mind, so he continued to fan the fire on the side.

"Yes, the king understands the importance of this, go back." King Fu closed his eyes.

Liu Jin couldn't say anything, and after a gesture, he turned around and left.

…………

After Liu Jin left, King Fu had to sit on the chair for at least a pillar of incense, during which his mind kept thinking about something, and the words that Liu Jin said to him were enough to make his heart move.

Although King Wu has a very high prestige, King Fu doesn't care very much in his heart, although he is very respectful to King Wu on the surface, but secretly he feels that King Wu is old, Liu Jin doesn't dare to say anything, but King Fu dares.

After making up his mind, King Fu went directly to the imperial city.
