Volume 3: Tempered into Steel Chapter 54: Brains Don't Grow in Vain
Guangdong Zhensi Yamen, no one came to work at dawn, and the two bigwigs entered Li Mao's office hand in hand.
After entering the door, Li Mao pushed Xiang Wenyao to the main seat, moved a chair and sat next to him, with an eager expression on his face.
"What the hell is going on, old Xiang? Why did you go in and see the emperor, and come out as if you had taken medicine? ”
Xiang Wenyao smiled, then sighed softly, and said with some emotion: "You definitely can't guess why!" ”
Li Mao looked at Xiang Wenyao uncomfortably and asked, "Your brother, don't hang my appetite, if I guess, I can still ask you here?" Tell me quickly, I'm still playing a drum in my heart! ”
Xiang Wenyao grabbed a pot of cold tea on the table, and lifted the two teacups upside down, revealing the ever-changing patterns on the inner wall of the Jianzhan Temple. Then he began to pour the reddened tea brewed in the teapot into the Jianzhan slowly, and gently sipped the tea soup leisurely and elegantly.
Then he raised his eyebrows and said to Li Mao: "Drink tea, Lord Zhentai!" Don't worry! ”
Where can Li Mao be in this mood to drink tea, seeing that Xiang Wenyao drank all the cold tea out of these tricks, he was even more anxious, so he jumped up from the stool, scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and looked at this lord of the domain, he wanted to be angry but didn't dare, so he could only jump around in place.
Xiang Wenyao smiled and said, "Master Li, you have to calm down!" Let me tell you more about it! ”
Li Mao grabbed Xiang Wenyao's arm violently, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Lord Fantai, don't sell it, just tell me the key points directly, my heart is almost no longer my own." ”
Seeing Li Mao so eager, Xiang Wenyao suddenly felt bored, the play still has to meet the opponent to sing energetically, you can't stand it if I sell it, it's hard to find a soulmate.
Xiang Wenyao put the teacup on the table and asked a little unhappily, "What?" Can't trust me? Looking at me like this, I'm afraid I'll be stupid by the emperor? It's time to lose your head in a minute? ”
Li Mao heard that Xiang Wenyao was unhappy, and even held the teacup in his hand and said: "Then how can it be, Brother Xiang is my guiding light, it's just that my temper is like this, if you don't say it, I don't have a bottom in my heart, and I think nonsense!" Your brother will be merciful, and tell me what is going on! ”
Xiang Wenyao "snapped" put the teacup on the table and teased: "Just ask my brother to drink this?" ”
Li Mao patted his head and hurriedly went to get new tea and called for boiling water.
Xiang Wenyao squinted his eyes and shouted, "Okay, okay, do I really want you to take this tea?" Come back soon......"
Then he told Li Mao about the situation of meeting Zhu Qizhen, and Li Mao's expression changed from suspicion to shock to surprise and finally to puzzlement.
"Don't you think something is wrong?" Li Mao glanced Xiang Wenyao up and down.
Xiang Wenyao felt this look, and suddenly his whole body began to feel uncomfortable.
"What kind of eyes do you have? It's the same as what you see. ”
Xiang Wenyao glared at Li Mao dissatisfied, and then said: "I didn't feel right at first, the emperor didn't reprimand me as soon as he opened his mouth, I was a little scared at that time, and I thought that the emperor was going to kill me, and I was going to stabilize it first." ”
Li Mao's eyes didn't change, he still looked at Xiang Wenyao like this, and almost asked: Isn't it?
Xiang Wenyao looked at him with disgust, and said with some pity: "Master Li, how did you get into Jinshi?" If the emperor wants to kill me, with Jinyiwei and Dong Xing by his side, won't I be gone in a word? Plus you are just multiple names, how do you think the emperor can still take care of the two of us? Don't forget that the emperor is also an iron-blooded emperor who has fought on horses! ”
"That's true, then you go on, I'll listen to you." Li Mao agreed with this statement.
Xiang Wenyao continued: "I naturally didn't believe it at the time, but later, when the emperor was annoyed by what I said, he reprimanded me and said that I was verbose. Do you think that if you really kill me, then there will still be this true feeling? ”
"That's right, you go on, I'm listening."
"Later, I told you that, the emperor personally recommended Zeng Hui and Yin Bo, it seems that they are going to be reused, and you don't know what the two of them are usually like.
This time I took the shit luck and received the emperor's favor, and even wanted to ask the two of them in person, I had a sudden heart at the beginning, and I felt that they must shake things out, although there is no direct evidence, but with my current image, the emperor must not check me to death? Xiang Wenyao asked Li Mao rhetorically.
"That's just as well, you go on, and listen to me." Li Mao quietly praised and didn't say a word superfluous.
Xiang Wenyao glanced at him and said: "But as soon as the emperor recommended him like this, my heart suddenly brightened, why didn't the emperor get angry with me, but said that we are usually not easy?" ”
"Why, Lord Domain?"
"It was because of this encirclement and suppression of traitors that the emperor saw the fierceness of these people.
One more point, I think it's the two of them, they don't want to sit on the cold bench anymore, they want to send charcoal in the snow, and when the time comes, this won't protect us, and there will be people above them? can also get a good impression in front of the emperor, and it belongs to the yes in one fell swoop! ”
After Xiang Wenyao finished speaking, he drank a cup of cold tea in a big gulp, and his heart was extremely happy, who doesn't have a desire to share? Especially when you feel smart!
Li Mao asked with some disbelief: "The two of them are stunned, can they really think of this?" ”
Xiang Wenyao took out the eyes that Li Mao looked at him just now, looked at Li Mao at this moment and asked, "What do you say?" Is the Jinshi taken casually? ”
Li Mao finally had no worries, and walked out of the door happily, saying in his mouth: "Lord Fantai, I'll go get you the best tea, the hottest water!" ”
It seems that it is really possible that the Jinshi background that was picked up by luck is really good......
Looking at Li Mao's appearance, Xiang Wenyao was full of black lines, and hurriedly stopped him: "Lord Zhentai, don't be in a hurry to drink tea, why did I pull you over, the business hasn't been finished yet!" ”
Li Mao had already stepped on one leg outside the door, but when he heard Xiang Wenyao say this, he quickly took it back and locked the door with his hand.
"What do you command?" Li Mao turned around and sat on the chair and asked.
"Xie Guang is dead." Xiang Wenyao nodded to the water.
"Well, I know, didn't you say that yesterday? What's wrong? It's not just right that he's dead, so the two of us can pick it up more clearly. Li Mao said as a matter of course.
Xiang Wenyao still had the building lamp in his hand on the table, and he didn't have the intention of drinking tea at all, and said: "Master Li, Xie Guang is dead, but do you know if there are any things in his house that shouldn't be in the money village?" ”
Li Mao touched his head and said, "We didn't get involved in anything, it was all done by our subordinates, so we don't need to be so strong, right?" ”
"Confused! Even if you and I are not deeply implicated, and the people below are gone, can you still run away for the crime of negligence? Besides, you don't have any money to put it in? Xiang Wenyao finally spit out the most important words.
"If our money is seized by Jinyiwei or Dong Xing, not to mention anything else, the name appears in the account book, the emperor will see it, can you and I still be okay? What are the numbers that can only be obtained in the Year of the Monkey? ”
Li Mao finally understood what Xiang Wenyao meant, and patted his head and said: "Look at my brain, what Lord Fantai said is right, I will immediately take someone to seize Huitong Bank." ”
Before the words fell, the person had already bounced to the door again, and Xiang Wenyao had no choice but to call again: "Master Li!" Don't be in such a hurry! ”
Li Mao looked back at Xiang Wenyao in confusion and asked, "What else does Lord Fantai have to order?" ”
"It's not just us! And in the army! Xiang Wenyao reminded.
How do I know that Li Maoman said indifferently: "I thought what was the matter, if you want to live a nourishing life, the three divisions are all your own talents, this point does not need to be explained by the lord of the domain, my head is not in vain!" Let's go! ”
Xiang Wenyao looked at Li Mao, who was free and easy, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Hopefully......"
Later, he also left the Yamen of the Priest to preside over the overall situation that he should preside.
