Chapter 22 Hook and Hook

After three years of hibernation, this Li Gongzi is not at ease at all. First of all, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he fought Xiangguo Gongzi at the gate of the city, and then the Lion Tower offended His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and now he offended Xiangguo Mansion again for a Qinglou woman.

Li Xuanbai deserves to be a big gentleman.

When the old bustard heard the '50,000 taels,' his heart trembled. Naturally, there is some joy in the heart. After all, it's 50,000 taels of silver for white flowers. It's rare to see such a big deal. But thinking about the opposite side is the prince of the Xiangguo Mansion, who is leaning towards the government and the opposition, and he is full of worry. Wang Lao Bustard seems to be making the most important and difficult decision in his life.

Zhu Zhanzhao and Zhang Changzhi upstairs naturally didn't know Wang Lao's complicated thoughts, and they hated it tightly now. This Li Xuanbai is robbing the Oiran with her, and he is obviously slapping him in the face. Fifty thousand taels of silver, but forty thousand taels more than they had paid. It's not that Zhu Zhanzhao doesn't want to be higher than him, but he really doesn't dare to come out. If his father knew about it, he would be rebuked.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanzhao looked at Li Xuanbai with more viciousness in his eyes.

Zhang Changzhi on the side was a villain and knew that Zhu Zhanzhao was a stupid person. Seeing that Li Xuanbai was so arrogant and domineering, he wanted to make trouble with Li Xuanbai as the son of Xiangguo. Whether he wins or loses, it is not a loss for him.

Zhang Changzhi snorted coldly, took a few steps forward and said provocatively: "Li Gongzi is so big. As far as I know, although the Duke of Lingzunlu has a title, he is only a squire of the Ministry of Works of Zhengsanpin in the court. A year's worth of silver is far less than 50,000 taels of silver. I'm afraid the source of this money is unknown, right?"

Zhang Changzhi's heart-wrenching and bold words exploded a thunderbolt in Liulifang. This is a clear statement that Lu Guogong and Li Mu are corrupt and pervert the law. You must know that some time ago, Tian Song, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor because of this reason. This incident has caused a storm in the city, and it has not stopped until now.

Of course, Brother Gongzi, who knew the truth, had already been ordered to die by his family, and he was not allowed to say a word outside. But most people still believe this official reason. Therefore, everyone in the glass workshop was silent and did not dare to speak. If you say more, you will offend the Lu State Mansion.

Zhu Zhanzhao's face was full of hatred, and after hearing Zhang Changzhi's words, he smiled. Very satisfied, he stepped forward and patted Zhang Changzhi on the shoulder, and took the opportunity to make up for it: "Not bad." Mr. Zhang is right. Even if it is my father, the lord of the country, is far less than 50,000 taels a year. Li Mu must have been corrupt and perverted the law. After my son returns home, he will definitely tell my father Xiangguo and condemn your Li Mansion. ”

The people downstairs and upstairs hid and watched, and they didn't say a word. Among them, there are people from the second prince and people from the crown prince. Both sides are watching tonight's show. Some of these people have very high official positions, so they naturally understand that they are only 50,000 taels, and they cannot talk about corruption and perversion of the law. There is no official in Kyoto City who does not have 10,000 taels of silver in the palace. His Majesty the Emperor will not condemn Lu Guogong for this reason. So it's just a head.

The girl with red sleeves downstairs stood in place, looking at Li Xuanbai upstairs, and smiled lightly.

Li Xuanbai seemed to feel the gaze from downstairs, got up lazily and smiled at the Oiran downstairs, and then slowly walked to the opposite side. stopped ten steps away from Zhu Zhang and the others. Just under everyone's surprised gaze, Li Xuanbai suddenly took the Ziyuan Sword in Zhou Hao's hand.

Zhu Zhang and the others saw Li Xuanbai holding a sword in his hand, thinking that he wanted to draw his sword to vent his hatred. I couldn't help but take a few steps back. Because he came out to look for flowers and ask willows, he only brought two or three servants with him. Those eagle dogs and lackeys hurriedly guarded in front of Zhu and Zhang.

Zhu Zhanzhao hid behind people and shouted, "Li Xuanbai, what are you doing with a sword?"

Zhang Changzhi added: "Xiangguo Gongzi, I think he wants to assassinate you. ”

When Li Xuanbai heard this, he squinted at Zhang Changzhi a few times. Such a clumsy trick is obvious at a glance. Stir up, add fuel to the fire. He wants to use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to suppress me. It's too easy to think. I didn't think about looking for trouble, but since the matter is coming, we are not afraid of things.

Li Xuanbai carried Ziyuan on his shoulder, and walked towards the two of them with a ruffian. The three eagle dog lackeys naturally stepped forward to block them, but they were stopped by Zhou Hao. Two steps away from the two, Li Xuanbai suddenly stopped, patted Zhang Changzhi's beautiful face with his sword scabbard, and said evilly: "You girl who can't remember to eat, I heard that you just got beaten by Gyeonggi Mansion Yin, why did you forget?"

Li Xuanbai removed the scabbard and pointed at Xiangguo Gongzi again. That Zhu Zhanzhao thought that Li Xuanbai was going to shoot him too, and his bloated body suddenly squatted down.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Hmph. Lao Tzu spent some money. You chirp crookedly. Lao Tzu didn't spend your money, why do you talk so much nonsense? Ask Lao Tzu where did the money come from? Lao Tzu said that it was okay to pick it up? You just can't admire Lao Tzu's luck. Li Xuanbai patted the pig's head with the scabbard of Xiangguo, and didn't give any face.

Everyone looked at Li Xuanbai's extremely arrogant appearance and was stunned.

Zhang Changzhi's momentum lowered, and he glared: "You dare to commit murder?"

Li Xuanbai withdrew the purple abyss and chuckled: "Which of your eyes saw me commit murder? The sword is not unsheathed, how can you kill people? How do you have such a brain?"

Zhang Changzhi was speechless. What can you do when you encounter such a scoundrel?

Zhu Zhanzhao swallowed his saliva and slowly stood up. Seeing that everyone was laughing at themselves, they were immediately angry. But he couldn't help Li Xuanbai.

Zhang Changzhi on the side knew that if he continued to make trouble, there would be no result. After all, Zhu Zhanzhao and Li Xuanbai have a big grudge. He's got the results he wanted. Next, you can think of a way to deal with Li Xuanbai. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Besides, he is not a gentleman.

So he walked up to Zhu Zhanzhao and whispered a few words, and after Zhu Zhanzhao listened, he left with him.

Out of Liulifang, Zhu Zhanzhao was so angry that he kicked the pillar in front of the door. Hate said: "This revenge must be avenged!"

Zhang Changzhi was on the side, and said angrily to the enemy: "Don't worry, Gongzi naturally has a way to deal with him." ”

Zhu Zhanzhao remembered what Zhang Changzhi said, squinted his eyes and said, "What you said just now is true?

Zhang Changzhi said with a smile: "Naturally. Tonight will make him taste the bitterness. ”

When Zhu Zhanzhao heard this, he felt better and said: "Although Li Xuanbai's guy is hateful, he can't kill him." ”

Zhu Zhanzhao added, "As long as you don't die." ”

Zhang Changzhi nodded, naturally understanding the meaning of Zhu Zhanzhao's words. To be immortal is to be disabled. Listening to his words, he was thinking about another idea in his heart. I think of the insult that the Lion Tower has suffered. Zhang Changzhi was full of hatred in his heart. It was not easy to get to where you are today. Before meeting Li Xuanbai, no gentleman in Luoyang City was allowed to give himself three points of thin noodles in the face of the second prince. But Li Xuanbai humiliated him in public.

He couldn't forget it.

He knew that the second prince was very scheming, and he would not rashly stand up for him. So he put his mind on Zhu Zhanzhao, the eldest prince of Xiangguofu. He first sent someone to keep an eye on the Lu Guogong Mansion and bought off a small servant in the Li Mansion. Knowing that Li Xuanbai would come to the Luoshui River tonight, he guessed that he would definitely come to Kyoto's number one Goolan Liulifang. So he specially called Zhu Zhanzhao and waited for an opportunity to clash with Li Xuanbai.

As he expected, the fish took the bait.

As for the rest of the matter, he also arranged it. A few of the well-trained killers in the province came in handy earlier. Tonight he is not trying to teach Li Xuanbai a lesson, but to kill him. Under everyone's ears and eyes, they all saw the conflict between Zhu Zhanzhao and Li Xuanbai. As soon as Li Xuanbai died, he would naturally suspect Xiangguo Gongzi.

Everyone in Luoyang City knew that Li Xuanbai had a quarrel with Zhu Zhanzhao as soon as he returned to Beijing, and today's incident escalated the conflict. Therefore, Zhang Changzhi looked for Zhu Zhanzhao in order to find a substitute for the dead.

He secretly glanced at the fat man Zhu beside him, and his eyes were full of strange colors. Zhu Zhanzhao didn't know it at all, and he still felt beautiful in his heart. didn't expect that he had already been regarded as an outcast.
