After the complete collapse of the Goryeo Restoration Congress, Li Zhen was specially summoned by Wu Zetian, who praised him as the leader of the internal guard, with great courage and ability, and rewarded him with a pair of white jade.

Although Li Zhen received a very high evaluation in the government and the opposition because of this incident, Li Zhen experienced some extraneous sounds, first of all, Shangguan Wan'er remained silent and did not make any evaluation of the matter of the restoration of the Goryeo Congress, and secondly, Wu Zetian did not summon Wu Sansi, as if Wu Sansi had nothing to do with this matter.

These seemingly inconspicuous things, but they hide an indescribable scheming, which only the parties have a slight feeling in their hearts.

However, Li Zhen didn't have the energy to savor Wu Zetian or Shangguan Wan'er's scheming at this time, and another unexpected thing suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the Left Bank wine shop, Li Zhen and Zhang Li sat in a Yashi, they did not eat, although there were some wine and food on the table, but the performance of the two was very different, I saw Li Zhen drinking leisurely, savoring the taste of wine, while Zhang Li seemed a little uneasy, he stood by the wall and pressed his ears to the wall, as if listening to the conversation next door.

Next door is also a private room, there are three people sitting in the room, the wine is so engrossed that the wine in his hand has forgotten to drink, and Li Pan has a sympathetic face, sitting opposite the two of them, is a thin man, wearing a coarse cloth short clothes, wearing an old scarf, from a distance looks like a peasant who went into the city to sell vegetables, but if Junchen is here, he will definitely jump in shock, this person is Suo Ying who was almost killed by him.

In the end, the reason why Suo Ying sat here was an incident that happened the night before, the beloved woman he had just recaptured from Lai Feng was given to Liu Guangye by Lai Junchen.

At the same time of extreme resentment, it also made him understand one thing, Lai Junchen didn't take their brother to heart at all, Lai Junchen didn't know Xiaoyun's relationship with him, but he didn't hesitate to give her to Liu Guangye, I'm afraid that in Lai Junchen's eyes, their Suo brothers are two dogs.

It was precisely because of his utter despair that he finally decided to take revenge on Lai Junchen, and at noon, he disguised himself as a villager and came to Luoyang to find Li Pan.

The internal guard is the world of their Dunhuang department, several school captains are born in Dunhuang, the relationship between the Suo brothers and Li Pan is very good, although Li Pan played Suo Wen on Li Zhen's secret collection, but Suo Ying didn't know that compared to his brother, his relationship with Li Pan was a little better.

But tonight's party has one more Jiuzhi, which is also Suo Ying's request, he knows the relationship between Jiuzhi and Li Zhen, because he doesn't want to face Li Zhen directly for the time being, and inviting Jiuzhi is also a very good bridge, besides, in Dunhuang, he also grew up with Jiuzhi, although the two don't have a good relationship, but they also know each other and are very familiar.

Suo Ying drank all the wine in the cup, and said hatefully: "I, Suo Ying, have liked a woman in my life, but he first connived at his nephew to take her away, and now that she finally returned to me, he gave her to Liu Guangye again, this is my great shame, this hatred I Suo Ying must revenge." ”

Jiu Zhi listened a little impatiently and said: "I said Erlang, I can understand your feelings of revenge, and we Dunhuang brothers are also willing to help you, but you have to tell me, how can we help you? Do you want to assassinate Lai Junchen, or go directly to take your woman back?"

"Thank you, fat brother, for your righteousness!"

Suo Ying sighed, "Where is Lai Junchen so easy to deal with, I know that Lai Junchen is secretly investigating Commander Li, in fact, I also know a little bit of Lai Junchen's secret, I hope you will help, as long as Commander Li brings down Lai Junchen, not only will I get revenge, but our Suo family can also be freed from Lai Junchen's clutches." ”

"Oh-"

Jiuzhi let out a long sigh, got up and said, "You guys talk first, I'll go to the thatched house to throw a thread." ”

He turned around and opened the door and went out, and Suo Ying said to Li Pan again: "Brother Pan, do you think Li Zhen will let our brother go?"

"It depends on this, he is a man of grievances, if you are sincere, and you do help him, I think he will consider it at his discretion. ”

Suo Ying nodded silently, sighed again, and said, "It's up to me to help him." ”

Jiu Zhi didn't go to any thatched house, he slipped into the next door and said excitedly: "Lao Li, this kid Suo Ying wants to rebel, it's an opportunity!"

Li Zhen said quietly: "Why did he come to Junchen instead?"

Jiu Zhi will be angry with Suo Ying because of Zhuang Wenzhong's robbery, and give his beloved woman to Liu Guangye, 1510 said it again, and finally said: "Lao Li, I know very well what kind of virtue Suo Ying has since he was a child, if you expect him to be loyal to Lai Junchen, it is a dream, I think he really wants to betray Lai Junchen, there will be no fake." ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "You go back and tell him that you will only know what you can let him do after reporting to me, you can make another appointment, don't worry about this matter, I will investigate." ”

Jiuzhi hurriedly said: "Leave it to me if you want to investigate! I have a lot of information and many ways, and I can find out whether what he said is true." ”

"You go back and talk to him first, and then I'll tell you what needs to be investigated?"

Jiu Zhi agreed, and hurriedly went back, at this time Zhang Li said to Li Zhen: "I think this Suo Ying is really dissatisfied with Lai Junchen, although he is disgusting, but he is not as scheming as Suo Wen, he is a rectum, he is difficult to disguise." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Actually, I know it in my heart, but it's better to be cautious about this matter, it must be investigated, I can't easily reveal my goal to him." ”

"From what point does the Commander plan to investigate his authenticity?"

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "I want to start investigating from the woman that Suo Ying likes." ”。

Li Zhen did not return to his house during this time, since his eldest sister was sent to Mingxiu Villa, he has been living in the Internal and Foreign Affairs Department, leaving the Left Bank Wine Shop, Li Zhen and Zhang Li returned to the Internal Health and Foreign Affairs Department together.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate, a soldier ran out and whispered a few words to Li Zhen, Li Zhen frowned, "How long has he been here?"

"It's been about a quarter of an hour. ”

Li Zhen turned back to Zhang Li and said, "It is estimated that there is something new, you can come along!"

Li Zhen walked quickly to the inner hall, and Li Chongrun, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea, quickly stood up, and there was a middle-aged man sitting next to him, who looked very nervous.

"I've kept the eldest son waiting!"

Li Zhen walked into the inner hall with a smile, he saw the middle-aged man, and felt that he had never seen it, so he asked, "Who is this?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Below is the housekeeper of the Yifeng Palace, surnamed Liu, called Liu Changqing, see Commander Li." ”

"Yes...... Li Guangshun?" asked Li Zhen after a moment's hesitation.

"Exactly!"

Next to him, Li Chongrun said: "Just now Steward Liu came to me and told me something, I felt that something was wrong, so I took him to the commander to see if I was too worried." ”

"Please sit down and talk!"

Li Zhen invited the two of them to sit down, let Zhang Li also sit beside him, and ordered the warrior to serve tea, Li Zhen then asked Liu Changqing, "What strange things happened?"

Liu Changqing panicked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, my lord's favorite concubine has a brother named Yu Ming-"

Liu Changqing explained in detail the fact that he found out that Yu Ming had received two hundred taels of gold this morning, and finally said: "I went to investigate again and found the shop where he bought pipa, but found that the store was closed, and there was no one to watch the store. ”

"Who are those men in black?" Li Zhen asked again.

Liu Changqing hesitated and said, "I'm not sure, the store next door said that one of them was a bit similar." Like Lai Junchen. ”

Li Zhen and Zhang Li glanced at each other, and the two of them realized at the same time that something was wrong, I am afraid that Lai Junchen has already stared at Li Guangshun, Li Zhen knows that no one in the world knows Lai Junchen, and most of the people in Luoyang know him, although Liu Changqing said that he is not sure, but that is just a little scared, it must be Lai Junchen.

"Have you told His Royal Highness King Yifeng about this?" Li Zhen asked again.

"I wanted to tell him, but the prince was angry with me today, saying that I was thinking nonsense all day long, but how could a person get two hundred taels of gold for no reason, I think there must be something wrong with this. ”

"So you found the eldest son?"

"Yes, I don't think the eldest son is as confused as my lord. ”

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what does this Yu Ming want to do?"

"He asked the prince to go to the manor tomorrow to escape the summer, and originally decided to leave in ten days, but the prince was persuaded by the favored concubine Yu to leave tomorrow, I was worried that there would be someone on the road who would be unfavorable to the prince. ”

Li Zhen didn't think silently, he knew that there was not much time to come to Junchen, and it was impossible to wait for another ten days, maybe he really wanted to intercept Li Guangshun on the road, at this time, Li Zhen suddenly remembered something and said to Li Chongrun: "Eldest son, please come over here and say something." ”

Li Zhen invited Li Chongrun aside, and without waiting for Li Zhen to speak, Li Chongrun smiled bitterly: "Li Guangrun is the eldest son of the former prince, and he is also a gold medal!"

"The eldest son knows what I'm going to ask?"

Li Chongrun nodded, "Actually, I'm also worried about this matter, so I brought Steward Liu to find the commander." ”

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's not appropriate for the eldest son to stay in the inner guard, take this Steward Liu back first, and I'll think about how to deal with this matter." ”

Li Chongrun said goodbye and left, and Zhang Li smiled and said, "Since I heard it, let me go and protect this Li Guangshun." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Of course you can, but if you want to protect secretly, it's best not to let Li Guangshun and Lai Junchen know about your existence." ”

"I'll arrange it!"

Zhang Li also went down, Li Zhen took a few steps with his hand, he felt that he still needed a person with light skills and high strength, at this time, he immediately thought of Di Yan......

Before dawn the next day, the door of the Yifeng Wangfu Mansion in the workshop was wide open, and more than a dozen carriages loaded with large bags and small bags drove out of the mansion, and dozens of palace guards followed left and right to protect Li Guangshun and his family as they went to the manor to escape the summer.

The manor is actually not far away, it is located in the Longmen area of Yique County, twenty miles south of Luoyang, and can be reached at noon, because the summer vacation will not return until after the beginning of autumn, so most of the domestic servants and maids also go with them.

The correspondence is that Liu Changqing stayed to watch the mansion, but this year, the third housekeeper Yu Ming took the initiative to ask Ying to stay, Li Guangshun agreed to his request, let Liu Changqing also go to the manor, let Yu Ming stay and guard the house, although Liu Changqing was unwilling, but he had no choice but to follow Li Guangshun's carriage and leave Luoyang.

On the steps, Yu Ming watched the carriage convoy gradually move away, and a trace of unconcealable pride welled up on his face, he was about to complete the task given to him by Lai Junchen, and there was still one last step, and then he could enjoy the glory and wealth of the second half of his life.

In addition to Yu Ming, there are more than a dozen family members staying in the mansion together, Yu Ming turned around and said to the family members very sternly: "I don't know what the rules were in the past, but from now on, I must implement my rules, I must distinguish between the upper and lower levels, when the master is not there, the back house is locked, and no one is allowed to enter, do you hear?"
