Chapter 364: The Dark Tide is Coming

Li Tai smiled slightly, "Mr. knows current affairs so well, Xiao Wang is very happy." ”

"Can you give me back your clothes?" Sang Chen looked up and said.

"Of course you can, but Xiao Wang wants to know, Mr. just said that Xiao Wang will never get that position, what is the credential?" How could Li Tai not be worried, Sang Chen made such a poisonous oath, and it was definitely not like an unsure anger.

Sang Chen turned his face away, "I don't want to say it now."

Sang Chen's stubborn 'sex' is well-known in Chang'an, Li Tai knows that he has been 'forced' to the extreme today, and he can't continue to use tough means, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses when the time comes, so he smiled and said, "If Mr. doesn't want to say it, don't say it, Xiao Wang will also go to court tomorrow, why don't Mr. stay here with me tonight and go out 'door' together tomorrow, what does Mr. think?" ”

Sang Chen looked reluctant to say more to him, but he was thinking about something else.

The palace Sima Su persuaded Li Tai to learn from the ancient sages and kings to delay the guests to write books, and Li Tai went to the recital.

When the Holy One learned about it, he was very happy and gave his full support. This "Chronicle of the Geography" is built in accordance with the divisions of the prefecture and the prefecture and county, absorbing the scriptures and passing on the gazetteer, seeking the old news of the old chronicles, detailing the history of the construction of various political districts, mountains, rivers, products, historic sites, customs, people, stories, etc., it can be said to be a masterpiece integrating geography and literature, once compiled, it is bound to be a great achievement.

Soliciting guests to compile the "Chronicles of the Universe" was actually just a cover, in fact, it was more convenient for Li Tai to establish his own power. Li Tai is different from Li Ke, Li Ke is both civil and military, he went out with the army in his early years, and performed well, so he has a lot of prestige in the army, if he really raises his arms and calls for rebellion, many people will respond.

Faced with such a situation, Li Tai had to establish his prestige and power, and his Confucian name alone would not make much difference. And this "Kuodi Chronicle" is of great significance to the entire layout planning of the Tang Dynasty, which is enough to reflect his talent for governing the country, and it is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone and being able to recruit a group of his own forces.

"No, there is no one to feed the rabbits in the next house, so I have to go home and feed the rabbits." Sang Chen said firmly.

Li Tai could actually say that he sent someone to help him feed the rabbits, but seeing Sang Chen's expression and knowing that it was useless to 'force' again, he could only say, "Okay." ”

said, stretched out his hand to help him untie the rope, "But the clothes can't be returned to Mr. for the time being, although Xiao Wang believes in Mr.'s character, but for big things, you need to be cautious, I hope Mr. can understand one or two." ”

Sang Chen hesitated, got up and patted the dust on his body, "Whatever you want!" ”

Before Li Tai could say a polite word or two, he saw him rushing out like a rabbit, and he didn't even have time to stop the two guards at the 'gate'.

When the guards saw Sang Chen rushing out, they were shocked, and they were about to chase after him, when they heard Li Taidao, "You don't have to stop him, send someone to keep an eye on him secretly." ”

"Yes!" The guards replied.

Li Tai has a thick waist and a big belly, and he can't hold the heat in the summer After some activities, his fair skin was already drenched with sweat, he threw off the fan and fanned it for a while, but his heart became more and more irritable.

Xiao Fuzhong.

Ran Yan will receive a message from Xiao Song from Suzhou, and is leaning against the window bar to read.

Gelan and Evening Green brought a pot of ice beside her, and prepared some fresh fruit to chill on top.

Looking at Xiao Song's letter, Ran Yan's brows gradually furrowed. Xiao Song tracked down the murder of officials in Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province, and he had just arrived in Huainan Province not long ago, and he had not yet begun to collect evidence, but he was not idle along the way, but he found out some things about Mrs. Dongyang on his side.

The reason has to start from after they returned to Chang'an.

The family expelled the Xiao family after using the family method for 'Chun', but after that, Mrs. Dongyang's condition became more and more serious, and many famous doctors were invited, all of whom said that they had taken an overdose of Tripterygium wilfordii, but after checking everyone around Mrs. Dongyang, there was no clue.

And the clues that Xiao Song found were related to her condition.

Mrs. Dongyang secretly colluded with Li Tai, if Li Tai helped Xiao Shilang ascend to the position of patriarch, the Xiao clan would support Li Tai with all the strength of the clan at that time.

Mrs. Dongyang is not a 'woman' who is raised in the deep boudoir, she knows that she is weak, even if she supports her son to become the patriarch, she is just a puppet controlled by others, and the situation at that time may be more difficult than now.

So Mrs. Dongyang has been waiting for an opportunity, and later found out that the officials of the Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province have died one after another, so she secretly became concerned, and she noticed that one or two of the dead officials had something to do with Li Tai, and she could already guess the approximate situation.

She 'fine' laid out for half a year, and finally waited for a change in Suzhou again, and finally obtained a letter that had not yet had time to be destroyed, although the handwriting was different from Li Tai, but the seal on it was genuine!

Presumably, Mrs. Dongyang obtained the letter, and she didn't do it very cleanly, and Li Tai found her feet, so she was killed.

Ran Yan saw the fifth page, and there were only a few sentences of Xiao Song's 'handover' generation, but he just said that Chang'an was turbulent and things were complicated, and he told these confidential things to him, hoping that Ran Yan would see the opportunity to act.

There were no sensational words, but from this thick pile of secrets, Ran Yan could clearly feel that he was worried and worried thousands of miles away. If this letter was obtained by someone who did not deserve it, Xiao Song's situation would be worrying, but he still took the risk to send it, just because he was worried that his wife would be in danger in Chang'an.

What other love words can compare to this love?

Ge Lan looked at Ran Yan's expression and knew that what she said in the letter was not a husband and wife, so she lit a brazier and brought it to Ran Yan not far away.

Ran Yan gently stroked the pieces of paper and threw them into the brazier. As soon as the front was hot, the tongue of fire suddenly stretched out of the basin.

"Lady, didn't Lang Jun ever write love words?" Seeing that Ran's face was solemn, Wan Lu wondered if Xiao Song didn't say something gentle.

"yes." Ran Yan muttered, "It's true that I haven't said anything about love." ”

Wanlu was thinking about how to comfort her, so she continued, "Separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, writing lingering words is just adding to the sadness, so it's better not to say it." ”

Xiao Song must have thought so.

Ran Yan lowered his eyes, watching Ge Lan spill the brazier, and his heart was empty.

"Ma'am." Outside the 'door', there was a 'waiter' who called.

Evening Green went to open the 'door', "What's the matter?" ”

"This is a letter sent to the 'gate' room." The maid handed over a letter in both hands.

Evening Green took it and asked, "Don't you know who sent it?" ”

The maid replied, "I don't know, the messenger is a middle-aged 'woman', and the 'door' room asked, but the other party is unwilling to 'reveal' his identity, only saying that the lady will naturally understand when she sees the letter." Seeing that the other party was just a servant, and his demeanor was good, he didn't dare to delay and let the slave and maid send it. ”

"Got it, let's go down." Late Greenway. When the maid went downstairs, she turned around the screen and handed the letter to Ran Yan.

Ran Yan was also suspicious in her heart, at this time, who would deliver the letter to her?

Opening the letter, there was only one piece of paper inside, Ran Yan read the content on it, his face changed slightly, and his tone was slightly hurried, "Go and ask Dr. Liu to come!" ”

Seeing Ran Yan's complexion, Wan Lu didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly ran downstairs in response.

Ran Yan handed the letter in his hand to Ge Lan.

"Could it be a trap? Who would arrest Mr. Sang for no reason and come to our house to blackmail? Ge Lan looked at it and couldn't help but wonder.

"In Chang'an, there are not many people who know that I have some 'friendship' with Sang Chen." Ran Yan forced himself to calm down, but the hand that 'rubbed' his temples trembled imperceptibly.

Over the years, Ran Yan has dreamed countless times that he had a chance to stop Qin Yunlin before his accident, and he has also dreamed countless times that Qin Yunlin was humiliated, which has become a heart disease. She can be very calm at any time, but if she encounters such a thing, she immediately loses her judgment, so she decisively 'handed' the matter to Ge Lan and Liu Qingsong, hoping that they can give a calm opinion.

"Ran Yan!" Liu Qingsong rushed upstairs, holding a burden in his arms, panting, and spreading the burden in front of Ran Yan.

A cloth robe was 'revealed' inside, Ran Yan had only seen Sang Chen this morning, and since he had just received such news, he naturally recognized it as his clothes at a glance.

Ge Lan saw that Ran's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy' and terrifying, and hurriedly persuaded, "Madam, calm down, this clothing is very ordinary, if you want to imitate it, it's easy to imitate!" ”

"Who can guarantee that it must not be him!" Ran Yan clutched his clothes tightly, his eyes full of anger.

It is true that Ran Yan doesn't like Sang Chen, and she doesn't like to get along with him, but in addition to being the first person she has come to Datang to 'befriend' deeply, he himself is as pure as clear water, which also makes Ran Yan quite appreciative, making her have an urge to protect this purity from being destroyed.

There has never been a time when Ran Yan would be so eager for Xiao Song to be by her side, just like the last time Ran Yunsheng disappeared, even if she was still impulsive, she would not lose her ability to discern, he could appease her emotions.

"If you want to be more thorough about this matter, I have already sent someone to look for him at the place where Sang Chen lives, wait for the news." Liu Qingsong also showed a serious appearance at the critical moment.

Ran Yan looked at his solemn appearance and sighed softly, "Don't worry, although I have lost my direction now, my intelligence has not declined." ”

When Xiao Song is there, she will indulge her little impulsiveness, because he is calm, since she is allowed to do it, she must be sure to clean up the mess, but now, she must take it step by step.

The silence was interrupted by footsteps going upstairs, and the visitor stopped in front of the 'door' and said respectfully, "Madam, Mrs. Dongyang is visiting." ”

"Huh?" Liu Qingsong's face was full of surprise, "Isn't she seriously ill and lying in bed?" Why don't you stay in Lanling, what are you doing in Chang'an? ”

Ran Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath before saying, "Please ask Mrs. Dongyang to go to the hall." ”

"Ran Yan, you have to hold on, no matter what she says." Even if Liu Qingsong didn't know what Xiao Song said, he smelled the smell of 'yin' conspiracy from it, "I'm waiting here for news from Sang Chen."

"Gelan, you and Dr. Liu are waiting here." Ran Yan stood up and said in a deep voice.

She lowered her eyes and saw that Liu Qingsong was a little uneasy, so she said, "Don't worry, I'm ready to take it." ”

After that, he led the evening green out of the 'pharmacy'.
