Chapter 1185: An Unexpected Change
Liu Xun found Li Qinzai, not because he was naΓ―ve, but because the environment of this era is like this.
What environment?
Feudal superstitious environment.
Everyone fears the gods of heaven and earth, everyone wants to live forever, and those who have read books or those who have not read books have a natural awe and worship for supernatural things.
The Son of Heaven sacrifices to heaven and earth, and the legend of immortality has been passed down for thousands of years.
Liu Xun felt that Li Qinzai, like others, would release his natural greed and desire in the face of the huge temptation of immortality.
But what Liu Xun didn't know was that Li Qinzai didn't believe in this thing at all.
In his previous life, he was nurtured by the national anti-fraud APP, the tea girl and the hard-working grandfather, can he believe this outrageous legend of immortality?
Liu Zhen still had the dream of being promoted to the rank of knight, but he didn't notice that Li Qinzai's smile was getting colder and colder.
"Liu Xianhou, Li has always been timid, and he doesn't dare to get involved in the affairs of the palace, whether it is fighting for the prince or offering the elixir of life, I will stay away, and Liu Xianhou is afraid that he will be disappointed." Li Qinzai said lightly.
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with wide eyes: "Li Jungong, this is a great opportunity to win His Majesty's favor, do you want to give up?" β
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "I don't know that Lu Jiayi well, I haven't even met in person, you teach me how to trust him?" In case he is a liar, let's dedicate the so-called elixir to Your Majesty, you and I will be punished by both families and nine clans, and I will not do such a dangerous thing. β
Liu Xian thought about it and felt that Li Qinzai's words were also reasonable.
I haven't even seen anyone, why should people take the lives of the nine clans of the whole family to sacrifice the elixir? If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to agree.
So Liu Xun hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "What Li Jungong means, Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will bring Lu Jiayi to your mansion, and ask Li Jungong to take the time to see him, how about it?" β
Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, it just so happens that I am going to Chang'an tomorrow, you tell me where he lives and what he looks like, I will go to see him and see if this person is credible." β
Liu Xian immediately described Lu Jiayiduo's residence and general appearance.
Li Qinzai's smile became brighter and brighter, and later Liu Zhen boasted about the power of the elixir, and Li Qinzai also took the initiative to echo a few words.
After talking about the topic that should be discussed, he and Liu Shen were actually not familiar with each other, and when everyone had no topic to talk about, Liu Shen took the initiative to say goodbye with interest.
Li Qinzai suddenly stopped him: "There is something I want to ask Liu Xianhou, I heard that the young man of the Xue family proposed to your mansion the day before yesterday, is there such a thing?" β
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and then showed an angry face: "That kid of the Xue family is simply too deceitful, relying on his father being the county prince, he has the brazenness to take the little girl as a concubine......"
"Although my Liu family is not as powerful as the Xue family, but it is also a dignified county marquis, he dares to make such an excessive request, and I will definitely impeach Xue Rengui to His Majesty when I turn around!"
Li Qinzai's eyes were staring at him tightly, observing the change in the expression on Liu Xun's face.
Seeing Liu Xian's angry face, Li Qinzai couldn't help but doubt himself.
Could it be that the acquaintance between Xue Ne and the daughter of the Liu family is really just a coincidence of fate, and has nothing to do with the current incident?
I wanted to help Xue Ne say a few beautiful words, but seeing Liu Xian's indignant appearance, if Li Qinzai talked too much, I was afraid that Liu Zhen would turn his face on the spot, so Li Qinzai had no choice but to give up.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Liu Xian left, another guest came to the Li family's courtyard.
said that he was a guest, but in fact he was an old acquaintance, the long-lost Tang Ji, Li Qinzai once rescued him from the prison of Dali Temple, and then Tang Ji stayed in the Li family incognito, specifically for Li Qinzai to do some dirty work.
This time, Tang Ji was summoned by Li Qinzai and came to work.
Standing in the wing room in the backyard of the Li family, Tang Ji's indifferent eyes were a little excited.
The master and servant are reunited after a long absence, the deceased is unharmed, and those who are as indifferent as a halberd can hardly suppress their excitement.
Li Qinzai looked at him and smiled: "This year, are you okay?" β
Tang Ji nodded: "It's okay." β
"Listen to the song, after I set out to conquer Goguryeo, you lived in a neighboring village, why is that?"
"I am a secret weapon in the hands of Li Jungong, and the secret weapon cannot be seen from the sky, especially not to let the world know my relationship with Li Jungong, leaving the other courtyard is the safest choice."
Li Qinzai smiled: "It's reasonable, but I wronged you." β
Tang Ji shook his head: "Li Jungong gave me a foothold, and I should repay it with all my heart." β
Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "There is something you need to do." β
"Li Jungong, please command."
Li Qinzai's tone became colder: "In the Honglu Temple Pavilion in Chang'an City, there lives a person named Lu Jiayiduo, this person is in great trouble and must be eliminated, can you do it?" β
Tang Ji nodded without hesitation: "It can be done, there will be news tonight." β
After speaking, Tang Ji hugged his fists and said goodbye, turned around and left.
Li Qinzai looked at his back, showing an admiring gaze.
What a good young man, mainly because there is less nonsense, he speaks and does things neatly, giving people a feeling of being down-to-earth and reassuring, and I don't know if this product will become a parent in the future, and whether it will be so simple to do things with his mother-in-law, one, two, three, go you, and it's over.
Lu Jiayiduo is on Li Qinzai's must-kill list.
This person is indeed a scourge, if he is allowed to become famous in Chang'an City, and fools the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to believe him, it will indeed be a great disaster for the Tang Dynasty.
From virtuous to dim, from great rule to great chaos, the transformation of a dynasty will be very fast, so fast that it may only take an elixir mixed with wheat flour.
If Li Zhizhen was bewitched by this Lu Jiayi, pursued immortality from then on, and did not go to court for decades like a certain Daojun emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would the Tang Dynasty be chaotic? Will the people of the world be sinned?
Maybe, maybe not, but Li Qinzai didn't want to gamble, so while the situation was still in the bud, he simply got rid of him and strangled the disaster in the cradle.
Li Qinzai almost risked his life for this Tang Dynasty, he didn't want to see the society that he gave his life to become chaotic in the future, otherwise what is the point of his own efforts?
The annex returned to its former calm.
Li Qinzai sat by the charcoal stove, staring at the red fire in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
After scribbling a few bites of dinner and sending off his wife and children, Li Qinzai sat in the room and waited.
Until midnight, a few dogs barked outside the courtyard, and Li Qinzai stood up impressively.
Steward Cui ran to the backyard in a panic and told Li Qinzai that Tang Ji had come back and was injured, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
Li Qinzai was taken aback, and he didn't bother to pretend to be disabled, and walked quickly towards the front yard.
In the side hall of the front yard, a few candles were lit, and under the dim candlelight, Tang Ji's face was pale, his clothes were stained with blood, and he knelt in the room with a depressed expression.
Li Qinzai turned his head and instructed Steward Cui to summon the village doctor immediately, and then strode towards Tang Ji.
"Where's the injury?"
Tang Ji's lips trembled slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Li Jungong, I'm sorry, I underestimated the enemy, I fell into the other party's plot, there is a master by that person's side, I can't beat ......"
Li Qinzai said angrily: "Who told you this, I asked you where you were injured, but it will be fatal?" β
