Chapter 103: Snooping
When Li Zhong went out to pick up people, in a small alley far away from the Li Mansion, a black shadow flickered by, and followed far away in the direction of the beast carriage.
The person in the shadow was none other than Zhao Di, during the previous conversation with Li Gang, Zhao Di felt Li Gang's abnormality, so he kept an eye on it, and hid in the dark to secretly monitor the movements of the Li Mansion.
At this time, Zhao Di had no manpower available, originally he thought that this trip to Qiongzhou would not have any big twists and turns, and cleaning up Li Gang should be a safe thing, but he didn't expect Li Gang to not say anything on the spot, although he gave in on the surface, but Zhao Di could feel the dissatisfaction in his heart, and Zhao Di could only personally investigate the situation.
Fortunately, Zhao Di has to get rid of the shackles of his body, after this period of cultivation, he already has a good strength, which is not worse than the peak state of his previous life, so everything is okay to act, even if he encounters a strong person in the Shinto realm, Zhao Di is confident that he can get out.
Following Li Zhong's beast carriage to Tong Ji Trading House, watching Li Zhong take Tong Shopkeeper back with his own eyes, Zhao Di's eyes flickered slightly, and he took advantage of Li Zhong's Kui Beast carriage to turn the corner, secretly got into the bottom of the carriage, and returned to Li's mansion again with the help of the carriage disguise.
Watching the shopkeeper Tong go to Li Gang's study under the leadership of Li Zhong, Zhao Di found an opportunity to get out from under the carriage and hide outside the study to eavesdrop on the conversation of the people inside.
After hearing a slight greeting between Shopkeeper Tong and Li Gang, he said directly: "Lord Assassin Shi summoned me at night, I don't know what happened?"
Li Gang obviously didn't mean to hide it, and said directly: "The previous request of your master was originally intended to be carried out tonight, but not long ago, the remnants of the evil king came to my mansion to reveal a secret, this thief's methods are extremely strange, and he actually formed an alliance with the Shang King of the Great Shang Dynasty, once I make a move here, the Shang King will definitely do his best to help the rescue, so the official threw a mouse trap and did not start immediately, I don't know if your master can give some help." ”
When the shopkeeper Tong heard this, he immediately laughed, waved his hand and said: "My master has known about this matter for a long time, and you don't need to worry about this, my master will help you settle the intervention of the king of Shang." Obviously, this guy hid a lot of information from Li Gang, and didn't say much to Li Gang at all, but just directly fooled Li Gang to hurry up and attack Zhao Di.
Li Gang also frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously he understood the poisonous thoughts of the shopkeeper Tong, but Li Gang now needed to ask for help from the other party, so he didn't dare to think too much, he could only endure the anger in his heart, and continued: "Another point, it is said that the thief also subdued Shi Lang, the assassin of Taizhou, if I do it here, once Shi Lang raises troops to save him, I can't explain to the court here, so I don't know if your master has a way to block Shi Lang for me?"
Well?
Shopkeeper Tong obviously didn't get any relevant information about Zhao Di's subduing of Shi Lang, after all, this kind of thing King Shang and 'Su Daji' wouldn't talk about too much, so Mo Zifei naturally didn't know about it.
However, Shopkeeper Tong is a businessman, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of what kind of impact Shi Lang will have on Li Gang when he sends troops to Qiongxing, and he doesn't think that Shi Lang really dares to send troops, so he can't help but say: "Shi Lang dares to send troops to attack Qiongxing Domain? Isn't he afraid of being beheaded by Emperor Song? Does he really dare to rebel? Could you be deceived by the remnants of the King of Evil?"
At this time, Li Gang realized how idiotic the shopkeeper Tong was for the government, where did he dare to take risks in this kind of thing, this was a matter related to his own life, and in the eyes of the other party, it was such a child's play, and it was really a shame that the other party could say it.
However, he now has a request for the other party, and Li Gang does not dare to be angry with the other party easily, so he can only say patiently: "That thief holds Shi Lang's handle in his hand, so Shi Lang will definitely listen to him, this matter is true, if your master can't solve this trouble for the official, the official will definitely not take this risk." ”
Shopkeeper Tong obviously didn't expect this matter to be so troublesome, he originally thought that it would be easy to let Li Gang take action to capture Zhao Di, after all, he had the big handle of Li Gang and Zhao Di conspiring in his hands, and if he used it as a threat, Li Gang would definitely give in.
However, now that Zhao Di has the means to hold Li Gang hostage, this matter is a little difficult to handle.
Shopkeeper Tong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "What good advice does Lord Li have?" After all, my master has been urging us to complete this matter as soon as possible, if you drag it out any longer, once my master loses patience, then Lord Li knows the consequences." Obviously, Shopkeeper Tong himself is not a patient person, in his opinion, the perfect completion of the task assigned by his master is the most important thing, as for Li Gang, he cares about him to die!
Li Gang's face was a little solemn, and he said: "It's not that there is no way, but I don't know if your master is determined enough to get rid of that remnant of evil, because if you want to succeed in this matter, you must solve the handle that Shi Lang was caught by that thief." ”
When the shopkeeper Tong heard that Li Gang had a plan, he naturally wouldn't let it go, and immediately said: "My master can't wait to cut the remnants of the sin immediately, so if you have any way, just say it, don't procrastinate here." ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper was like this, Li Gang finally made a decision in his heart, took a deep breath and said: "If your master can come up with 100 million silver for Shi Lang in an emergency, I think Shi Lang will immediately turn against the thief, so that we will have no worries at all." ”
"Sss......ss You, what are you talking about? 100 million, silver, are you kidding?"
Obviously, Li Gang's proposal completely exceeded Shopkeeper Tong's expectations, and it can even be said that he was completely shocked by Shopkeeper Tong, so he was so incoherent.
But soon, Shopkeeper Tong sneered, pointed at Li Gang and said, "Hehe, okay, it seems that Master Li is really good at fighting!"
Li Gang smiled helplessly and said, "I knew it would be like this." ”
"Hehe, isn't it, I didn't expect Master Li to be so bold and dare to blackmail my master. Shopkeeper Tong sneered and said, "It seems that Master Li really wants money and doesn't want to die, I really looked away before." ”
Li Gang obviously expected this result a long time ago, so he smiled bitterly and knew that it would be like this.
Seeing Shopkeeper Tong's sneer, Li Gang shook his head and said, "Please also ask Shopkeeper Tong to listen to my explanation, this matter can really only be done quickly." ”
