Chapter 54: "Closeness" Relationship

Li Hu jumped out of Depingbo's mansion, ordered the coachman, and went straight to the south gate of Yanjing.

Before leaving the house, he asked the diners at home that the best time to know the best time to join the bone is within three days after the bone is broken.

From Yanjing to Jiangnan Daying, it only takes two days to drive around.

He was a civil servant, and he used to hold a pen in his right hand.

Li Ming stepped on it, but it was the three fingers of his left hand that were not hindered by his future.

In other words, even if the prospective princess is a quack doctor and can't connect his finger bones for him, as long as he can take advantage of this to get in touch with the third prince Zhu Lingjun, this trip will be a sure win.

"My younger brother, since he was a child, has had ridiculously good luck."

If it was before, Li Hu was a son-in-law, and he didn't bother to look at Li Su, a concubine who had nothing to rely on, let alone use the word "younger brother" to call him so affectionately.

But just now, listening to his personal attendant, Li Su was one step ahead of him and met the third prince Zhu Lingjun, but his attitude suddenly turned a 180-degree bend.

For people who don't know the truth, the relationship between him and Li Su is afraid to be described as shadowy, and it is too rusty.

"Young Master Yue is the second son of his wife, humble and gentle."

"I have never been like other young masters, bullying the young master and young master in the house."

Li San is the son of a housekeeper.

His younger brother, Li Qi, is Li Su's confidant.

As a son-in-law, Li Huyue has many attendants, like Li San, who cannot be regarded as a personal attendant, and he can catch a handful of them.

If there was no relationship with Li Qi, at this time, he would never be qualified to be summoned by Li Huyue to sit in the carriage with him.

"Li San remembers that when Young Master Su was young, he was once tricked by Young Master Jingde and fell into a pond in the middle of winter."

"If it weren't for Young Master Yue's kindness and ordering someone to rescue him, he would have ...... long ago"

In Depingbo's Mansion, there are countless children of concubines who have been tricked to death.

Affected by Li Ming's attitude, these children who died before they were minors were treated much differently from those who died in the house.

If the aunt's family is not well-off, and Li Ming is not favored and cannot afford the funeral expenses, the housekeeper will take someone to get a broken straw mat and come back, roll up the dead child, and throw it to the mass grave to feed the wolves.

Li Huyue's mother is Li Ming's wife, Sun.

Li Jingde's mother is Li Mingping's wife, Wang.

The war between the two women continued to Li Huyue and Li Jingde......

Naturally, it will spread to other children in the backyard.

To be fair.

In the past, Li Hu jumped into the water to save Li Su's life in the middle of winter, just to make Li Jingde ugly, not to have a good relationship with Li Su.

It's just that I never thought that yesterday's goodness will become fate today.

Li Su, this concubine who has never been put in his eyes, has now become the person who can fulfill him!

"Su'er knows etiquette, understands it since childhood, is estranged from my aunt who doesn't know how to be polite, and is close to my mother."

"I see that he is well-dressed and polite, and he is more pleasing than many of my younger brothers and sisters, so naturally, I should take more care of him."

Li Huyue knew that he had done his "life-saving grace" to Li Su, but he did his best, and Li Su also understood this.

But he is familiar with Li Su's temperament, and knows that he will not dare to make this clear, and become an enmity with his sister-in-law.

In this world, there are many things, just need to maintain the appearance of good-looking.

Just like now, he needs Li Su to "know his kindness" and introduce the third prince Zhu Lingjun to him, and he privately promised Li Su that he would be his backer in Depingbo's Mansion.

As for how Li Su scolded him privately when he was away, he didn't mind.

For example, when Li Su lost his value, he kicked Li Su away, and Li Su had nothing to do with him.

The relationship between him and Li Su can only be to use each other.

Like siblings?

Are you kidding!

……

Jiangnan Daying.

Li Su sat in front of the desk, his brows furrowed.

Li Qi stood across from him, his back tensed nervously.

The day before, at three o'clock in the hour, Yu Zi broke into the camp tent and snatched the original person of the account book, it was already certain that he was the killer of the Heavenly Gate, if he hadn't prepared and copied an extra copy to keep, Li Su's future plan would have been greatly affected.

Who was that man hired to rob the books?

De Pingbo Li Ming?

No, no way!

If he was hired by Li Ming, the killer would definitely not even let go of the manuscript in his hand, and then kill him.

Others who want to borrow this account book and get a piece of the pie?

Like, it's also unlikely.

They were extremely careful with this account book, and they didn't even know that there was still one in their hands, let alone ......

"Could it be, His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

Suddenly, Li Su raised his head and looked at Li Qi.

"That fat pig is in the hands of His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"If he can't help the torture, confess the existence of this account book, and ask for forgiveness......"

Speaking of this, Li Su hesitated slightly.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he got up from his chair and looked at Li Qi.

"You, go and copy out this account book word for word, and don't leave even the part about Depingbo's Mansion behind."

"Now, no matter whether the person who was sent to snatch the account book was hired by His Royal Highness the Third Prince, we must give him a complete copy of the account book with both hands."

"In this way, we can ......"

Li Su slowly walked out from behind the bookcase, walked in front of Li Qi, stretched out his hand, and gently patted him twice on his left shoulder.

"If so, we can say that it was the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple and dispelled his suspicion of us."

"If not, we can also use this to be 'faithful' and further our relationship with him."

"We have to get ahead."

"If His Royal Highness the Third Prince sends someone to ask about the door, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

Li Su spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that if he spoke slowly, he would delay the timing.

He has been oppressed and bullied for many years in Depingbo's mansion, and now, finally, he has a chance to get ahead...... He didn't want to let this fleeting opportunity slip away like this!

"Yes, young master."

The account books were originally robbed, and Li Qi, who was responsible for keeping the account books, should be severely punished.

Although, in front of the Celestial Gate Killer, he can only do a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, which is not much different from a lump of meat, but in terms of the account book being snatched, he is unscathed......

Even if he was punished for dereliction of duty and beaten to death with a stick, no one could say a word about Li Su's approach.

Li Su did not punish him, it was Li Su who was generous.

But he's not stupid.

At least, I wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Li Su's indifference should be taken for granted.

……

The account book was copied twice, and when he picked up the pen, Li Qi was already familiar with it.

Some of the relatively large accounts he didn't even need to look at them to accurately transcribe them to the new book.

Noon.

Li Qi shook it, and his right hand, which was a little sour and numb, stood up from behind the book.

Two hours.

It's nearly twice as fast as the last copy.

"Copyed?"

Seeing Li Qi get up, Li Su, who was sitting on the couch next to him reading a book, slowly raised his head.

Recently, he was reading "The Art of War", because he had learned very little in his childhood, he had to stop from time to time to think about the complicated words in the book, and to this day, he has only read three pages after more than half a month of picking up the book.

But he did not give up, as soon as he had time, he opened the book, studied and pondered, and even ate and went to the toilet, all of which were reciting and scrutinizing the author's original intention.

"Back to the young master's words, I copied it."

Li Qi moved, with some stiff fingers, he took the account book, trotted, came to Li Su, and handed the account book into his hand.

"This one, the ink is not dry."

"The little one thinks that the old one should be given to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

The three points of the reason are short-lived.

This time, talking to Li Su, Li Qi's tone was a little more flattering than usual.

"Nope."

"Send this newly copied book to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"Judging from the previous contact, His Royal Highness the Third Prince should be a person who advances and retreats with a degree of progress and retreat, and has a basis for rewards and punishments."

"Fellowship with him, conspiracy, will be appreciated."

"Conspiracy is easy to be disdainful."

Li Su folded the corner of the book in his hand, put it under the pillow, opened the account book that Li Qixin had copied, and glanced at it hastily.

The handwriting is neat.

Evenly spaced rows.

Except for the ink that has not dried thoroughly, this flaw, the whole account book, can not find any fault.

"I'll tell him that originally, it was snatched away by the Celestial Gate."

"I have another volume here, which I was going to hold for him to read, but because you accidentally folded the footer, I had to copy this new one."

"For this, I have fined you ten years of wages."

"And every year in the first month, they are heavily punished with fifty military sticks, so that you will not dare to forget the dereliction of duty today."

Li Su's words were light and light.

But the speaker has the intention, and the listener has the heart.

Li Qi knew that Li Su's words were meant for him.

The implication is that if he is faithful and faithful from now on, this punishment will only be a joke, if it is the opposite......

Fifty military sticks, this punishment can be light or severe.

If it is light, it is just a formality, and you don't have to suffer the pain of flesh and skin.

In severe cases, tendons and bones are broken...... Jiangnan camp, he has not heard of it, but in the northeast camp, there are no less than 100 people who have been punished by this punishment and lost their lives!

He didn't want to die.

If you don't want to die, you have to put yourself in the right position and be a useful person to Li Su.

"Subordinate Li Qi, thank the master for being magnanimous."

For people like Li Qi, who have already obtained positions in the army, the salary paid by the Depingbo Mansion is no longer his main income.

Leaving aside the matter of "beating the military stick", only this insignificant gain can be exchanged for Li Su's heart......

Li Qi felt that this "deal" was really cost-effective.

"Just this once, not the next one."

Li Su knew in his heart that even if there was a real next time, he would at most, add some false punishment to Li Qi, and he couldn't really kill him with a cane.

First, even if Li Qi fought to the death, it would be impossible to fight against the killers of the Heavenly Gate.

Second, Li Qi's father, the current housekeeper of Depingbo Mansion, is still of great use to him now.

A hundred good words may not be effective, and once a bad word comes out, it is bound to hurt people.

He had to pass, "close relationship" with Li Qi and his "bright future", "convince" the housekeeper, let him use it for his own use.

……

Originally, it was extremely rude to visit someone's home at noon.

In the case of stingy hosts, it is not an exaggeration to turn away guests.

But Li Su, who was carrying the transcript of the account book, felt that this was the best time for him to come to the door.

The sun is warm.

Satiated.

It was the time of the women's noon.

He came at this time, but it was appropriate to avoid the female relatives in the hospital, that is, the quasi-princess of the third prince Zhu Lingjun who had not passed through the door, and the descendant of the miracle doctor who was quite crazy.

Judging from the last visit, the third prince, Zhu Lingjun, is a rigorous and thoughtful person, although he dotes on that woman, he is not lacking in resistance.

In Li Su's thoughts, this is also normal.

After all, Ling Jun was born in the royal family, although he was a child, he grew up in the Northwest Army, but he never learned less about the rules of etiquette, and later, he returned to the palace of the bathing king, and returned to the dynasty with the current saint, and was taught by the Empress Dowager Xiaoke, who stayed by her side for a few years.

Although it is rumored in Yanjing that he is a "bad star" that no one can provoke, it is only that the sword is a little more off-the-shelf, and there is no scandal that he does not follow the etiquette law.

And the princess-to-be......

It is rumored that she was born in the countryside, grew up in the wilderness, and traveled all over the world with an "old fairy" who appeared out of nowhere since she was a child, and her temperament was wild, like a stupid roe deer in the northeast woods.

Don't talk about etiquette and rules, even in front of the third prince Zhu Lingjun and her future husband, she has no standing or sitting appearance, and from time to time she is arrogant and messing around......

This kind of woman is destined to die in conspiracy.

In other words, marrying her was a compromise that the third prince, Zhu Lingjun, had to make in order to get medicine to prevent locust plagues.

After the wedding of the two, they went to live in Yanjing.

At most a year, this woman will be torn by those official ladies, and there will be no bones left!

With the third prince Zhu Lingjun's temperament, he definitely doesn't want such a woman to know too many secrets about him.

For example, this is a ledger that can determine the life, death, and attitude of several people.

"General Li, why are you here at this time?"

The one blocking the door was Sister-in-law Jiang.

She was instructed by Ling Jun to "wait for the rabbit" to Li Su here.

Li Su is just a lieutenant, but she calls him "general" in a weird tone, which is a kind of embarrassing "dismount".

"Li Su has an urgent matter and asks to see His Highness."

"Please also Sister Jiang, make it convenient for you."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Li Su didn't know why Sister-in-law Jiang, who was originally serving in the backyard, came to the porter.

But in order not to provoke himself and unnecessary trouble, he still had a kind attitude and saluted her.

"Convenient—"

"What's inconvenient?"

"You sued me with my wife, saying that I deliberately made a detour, made things difficult for you, and caused me to be sent to the concierge to do things, how dare I not give you convenience?"

"If you give you another handle and tell Madame about me and wrong, I can't help it, and I will be kicked out of the door by Madame?"

Sister-in-law Jiang dragged a long voice and explained her situation to Li Su "tactfully".

Of course, these words were all taught to her by Liu Qingxin.

In fact, although she was blamed by Liu Qingxin for her unintentional mistake last time, she made her own decision and almost mistook Ling Jun's plan, Ling Jun still thought that she was the daughter of General Jiang, and she didn't care too much.
