Chapter 473: Asking for a Token (Two Watches in One)
In the flower hall, Lin Yunyan's face was full of unhappiness.
"Your Highness said that," she turned her head and pouted, "I'm a complainant?"
When Li Shao heard this, he was angry.
In the past few years, Ning An has sued him in Cining Palace, has he sued him less?
Not to mention the tribute wine and tiger bones, he went to the Guogong Mansion to visit Xu Jian's injury before, and Ning An could go to the Queen Mother to cry that he had a bad attitude and was weird!
One after another, it can be called a new hatred and an old hatred.
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and now he has a request for Ning'an, and it is really difficult to turn over those old accounts.
Secretly, Li Shao comforted himself: Ning An is all a woman's opinion, and he doesn't care about her.
"You just said, can you let Samchen find out that Su Chang?" Li Shao asked.
Lin Yunyan pursed her lower lip, but she didn't refuse, but she didn't agree immediately.
Of course, any "unhappy" is all pretending.
In order to "supervise" Li Shao, Lin Yunyan went back to Chengyibo's Mansion yesterday to discuss with her father and asked him for help.
Sure enough, as soon as his father went back to the imperial study, Li Shao couldn't sit still, and he was anxious to find Su Chang.
However, there are also things that Lin Yunyan expected.
She thought that Li Shao would go alone and find her own way, but she didn't expect Li Shao to come to the door for help.
This is an opportunity, but it is also a risk.
Can you get a tiger without entering the tiger's den?
Lin Yunyan will not let go of this opportunity.
She pondered and said to Li Shao, "It's not that I don't want to help His Highness, but I'm really afraid that you will accidentally fall into someone else's way.
If it's a little thing, if it's broken, it's broken, and when you go back and ask the queen mother, I'll take most of it for you, and it's just a few words of training.
But what if it's a big deal? Grandpa Guo is not in the capital, and there is no one to clean up the mess for His Highness and me.
I can't afford to deal with your situation.
I didn't report it, let you put yourself in danger, and the charge of endangering the prince fell, the queen mother was sad, and my mother's family was afraid that she couldn't protect me.
I'm inexplicably affected by you, this is really ......."
Li Shao: ......
Alarmist.
There is nothing to do, and when Ning An said it, it was as if the sky had fallen.
Li Shao recited the "woman's opinion" again in his heart, and when he thought about it, he also felt that he couldn't blame Ning An.
How many years has he known Ning An, putting aside the past two years and looking forward, who mentioned that Ning An didn't praise her for being sensible, obedient, following the rules, favored but not pampered?
It was only after marrying Xu Jian that there were complaints again and again.
In the final analysis, it was Xu Jian who instigated behind his back.
Now that Xu Jian is not there, Ning An suddenly showed his timidity.
Thinking like this, Li Shao couldn't help but feel proud.
The little girl is the little girl, and she has lost her backbone and is useless.
It's okay in this way, if you turn around and catch Li Du, the credit will be all his, and it has nothing to do with Ning An.
Li Shao pondered for a while, and told Lin Yunyan about Su Chang in general, and said, "Look, if I don't look for him, then I will lose the opportunity."
Lin Yunyan pretended to be uneasy: "It's really not a trap?"
"The Qianfu is not far away, in the capital, and Shenchen is also on the side, so that Su Chang can threaten me?" Li Du said, "Even if they set a trap, it will be after today, let's listen to what Su Chang has to say first, and then make plans." Even if it's a trap, if we are in good spirits, we are afraid that we will not be able to calculate it?"
Lin Yunyan hesitated for a while, and finally agreed: "Then give it a try, let's say it first, if the situation is not right, I will definitely enter the palace to report to the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother, and when the time comes, Your Highness will not blame me for retreating."
Li Shao's mouth was full of answers.
Stabilize Ning An first, and let Sanchen find out that Su Chang.
Later, more on that later!
He just asked the Fuguo Mansion to borrow a loan from Shenchen, and Ning An didn't use it, don't give it to him
Just drag your feet.
Where couldn't Lin Yunyan guess Li Shao's thoughts?
She didn't say anything, she called Sanchen over first, pretending to give instructions to others.
"The Han name is Su Chang, he was originally a member of the envoy group, and now the grandfather of the country is not in the capital, and it is probably not good to reach out to the Honglu Temple to transfer the documents, you can see if you can go to the Shuntian Mansion to inquire, if the Guyue people do business in the capital, they will report to the government office.
If you can't find it, you have to go to a few more big trading houses, ask which one has a familiar Guyue merchant, and ask them to inquire again.
If you still can't find out about this, then, let's find another way......
Li Shao is anxious, seeing her chattering and looking bottomless, he couldn't bear to listen to her, grabbed the words, and said to Shenchen: "Find out as soon as possible, and inform me as soon as there is news, remember, you must tell me in person, don't let Grandpa Gao know."
Samchen respectfully responded.
Li Shao got up, Lin Yunyan saw off the guests, and returned to the flower hall.
Samchen asked, "County Lord, how many days will you reply to His Highness?"
Not to mention Su Yi and Li Du, anyway, this game of chess in Jingli is played and played, and black and white are in their hands.
At this time, Lin Yunyan's face did not have the hesitation and uneasiness on her face when she was facing Li Shao, she thought for a while, and said, "Su Chang has a shop on West Street, and the official procedures are all available, and it is not difficult to check, you will take Su Chang to Qianfu to see him tomorrow."
Ginseng should be down.
On the other end, Li Shao returned to the Thousand Steps Corridor.
The important matter in his heart was handed over to Shenchen, but Li Shao did not breathe a sigh of relief, the word "wait" was already difficult.
Flipping through the Chinese book in his hand, he muttered secretly.
No matter what Shenchen said, he is also Xu Jian's personal entourage, and he always has the ability to check his personal skills.
Two days, three days at most, and I'm sure I'll have a message.
If it's about the same for three days, isn't it like a waste?
Xu Jian, a shrewd person with a bad belly, can raise waste?
If it is true, when Xu Jian comes back from Yumen, he must talk about it, why is it unreliable to stay in the capital to do things?
Li Shao comforted himself, and his mood rolled back and forth in peace and entanglement.
In this way, in the afternoon of the next day, sitting in the yamen, Gao Gonggong reported to Li Shaoyu that "the Guogong Mansion has sent someone over."
Li Shao's heart suddenly lifted.
Sanchen came in, holding a brocade box in his hand, and handed it to Gonggong Gao: "Your Highness came to the study room in the house yesterday, and the county lord found it and asked the small one to send it to you." You look at things, right? A few years ago, our lord tinkered with these things, and there was indeed a piece of incense ink into the sacred, and the saint liked it very much. This piece is a leftover material from that time, and you carved it."
Li Shao was stunned.
What study? Fragrant ink?
Gao Gonggong didn't know the inside story, and when he heard the words, he opened the brocade box and gave it to Li Shao.
Li Shao reacted at this time, "Oh" and said, "Yes, yes, that's the case, I'm tired and peaceful, I took the things."
As he spoke, he glanced at Grandpa Gao.
Seeing that Gonggong Gao was not suspicious, Li Shao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning An is timid and small, and he makes up stories one by one, no wonder he sued one by one before!
After the dispersal value, Li Shao still went to Qianfu.
Knowing that Shenchen had already found someone and would bring Su Chang with him, Li Shao was a little nervous, and when Father-in-law Gao arranged the dishes and chopsticks to eat, he hurriedly sent the people away.
He waited for someone with all his heart, his appetite was not good, and he didn't move a few chopsticks, but drank some wine.
Just as I was anxious, I heard footsteps outside.
Soon, Su Chang's voice, which he had heard that day, sounded outside: "The little one has seen His Highness."
Li Shao looked at him.
Su Chang looked a little embarrassed at this time: "Your Highness wants to see the little one, how can the little one not come?" Why do you need to do something else? Oh, that little brother, his hands are so strong, he was so scared that he thought he had provoked some bad guys, and he was scared to death! Tsk!"
Li Shao didn't know how to find Shenchen
When he arrived at Su Chang, he didn't know that Su Chang was acting at all, so he didn't say anything else, and asked straight to the point, "Where is Li Du?"
Su Chang's eyes rolled: "So, His Highness agreed to Su Yi's request?"
Li Shao pursed his lips, and depression flashed in his eyes.
Rao had to bow his head, he really didn't like to be led by the nose like this.
Seeing this, Su Chang suddenly shook up: "Your Highness, Su Yi and Li Du have not completely broken the news, so that the whereabouts of the thief can be obtained.
But you also know that Li Du is vicious and deceitful, and he has a lot of eyes, once he finds out that he can't get benefits in the hands of Su Yi and may be in danger, he will only make a decision immediately and completely wash away the connection with Su Yi.
In that case, Shunto can't touch the melon.
It's not that the little one wants to urge you, but time waits for no one, Your Highness should come up with an idea quickly.
This kind of hello, hello, everyone's good business, after such a village, there is no such shop!"
Li Shao sighed, waved his hand and said, "I know, since I have accepted Su Yi's love, how can I not reciprocate? As long as I catch Li Du for me, Su Yi will be his official in the first place, and he will still be in the future!"
"With your words, the little one can rest assured," Su Chang smiled, "Your Highness, you just need to prepare the manpower, once Su Yi gives the letter, he can set off immediately!"
"What?" Li Shao was puzzled, "You still don't know where Li Du is?"
"Now the situation is critical, and before you agree, Su Yi won't dare to let the little one know," Su Chang rubbed his hands, "In case the little one is a loose-mouthed and treacherous one, and crosses him Su Yi to ask you for his own benefits, isn't he Su Yi a bamboo basket to draw water?" Traders are most afraid of being jumped."
This makes sense.
It is not uncommon to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Su Chang said again: "Therefore, the little one wants to ask you for a token, so that Su Yi can rest assured that the little one has already negotiated with you, and he is not sending a message from his mouth."
Li Shao hesitated slightly.
Su Chang muttered again, "Jianghu trading rules", Li Shao's head swelled when he heard it, and the smell of alcohol also surged, "Okay, I'll give you something."
Li Shao, who was partial, came from the thousand-step corridor, and there was nothing handy around him, and this house was uninhabited all the year round, so there was nothing that could be used as a token.
Su Chang's eyes rolled: "Your Highness, the piece of jade ...... on your waist"
When Li Shao heard this, he gave him a blank look.
This is what he carries on him every day, and he gives it out, can he not let Gao Gonggong notice?
However, it was also Su Chang who reminded him, Li Shao got up and walked to the inner room, and took a jade pendant from the bed frame.
The bed frame was also ignited earlier, but it was saved in time and was fine.
After all, it was a young bed, Li Shao felt unlucky, and in order to "appease" his father, he took a few pieces of jade from his mother's relics and hung them at the head of the bed.
It is said that "I am grateful for the blessing of the Queen Mother".
Li Shao handed the jade pendant to Su Chang: "Is this okay?"
Su Chang smiled: "Don't worry, the little one must do his best, Su Yi is also in a hurry, and it will be done immediately."
Li Shao motioned for Su Chang to step back by himself, so that he had the heart to eat his dinner.
Su Chang walked out of the house, saw Samchen standing not far away, and nodded at him slightly.
The two walked together under the courtyard wall.
Su Chang gave the jade pendant to Shenchen and looked at it: "I asked for it according to the little brother's wishes."
Samchen's jaw.
The token was proposed by the county lord, and knowing that His Royal Highness had hung a few pieces of jade on the old bed in Qianfu, he asked Su Chang to take the opportunity to ask for it.
After that, no matter what trick Su Yi made, with Li Shao's jade pendant, it would be easier to drag him into the water.
"Hurry up." Samchen Road.
Su Chang smiled dryly and nodded.
In the past few days waiting for Li Shao's agreement, Su Chang was not idle, and urged Su Yi to show sincerity according to this meaning.
This morning, Su Yi's sincerity was also delivered.
It was a short passage from a letter.
The content is that Li Du asked Su Yi where he had gone and how many people he had brought
, and said that the border is tight, and if you want to start in Gyeonggi, you need to do it as soon as possible, in case Yumen can't hold off the army, and things will not be easy to do after that.
The word is Li Du's handwriting, and Lin Yunyan recognizes it.
And this content is also in line with what Su Yi said before, "fishing Li Du".
The night was dark.
Shenchen was about to mention Su Chang out of the Hidden Mansion, but Su Chang stopped him first.
"Little brother," he said worriedly, "there is a saying, I have hesitated for a long time."
Samchen pricked up his ears and listened to the movement.
There was no one outside the courtyard wall, and it was far away from the main courtyard where Li Shao was, so he was sure that he would not be listened to, and Shenchen motioned to Su Chang to continue.
Su Chang lowered his voice very low: "I know Su Yi more or less, and his person is very deep in the city.
Losing power and not being able to stay in Guyue, I believe; Li Du fell, and Su Yi didn't want to support Li Du, who had no prospects, and I also believed it.
However, he found someone to form an alliance and found the body of the Great Highness, I don't believe it.
Su Yi is so ruthless, I can't look down on him......
It is true that Su Yi and His Royal Highness have met a few times when they were envoys, and they have no deep friendship, but the thing that His Highness can impress Su Yi the most is undoubtedly the case in Chen Mi Hutong.
The house in Chenmi Hutong is Li Du's territory, Su Chang went there for Su Yi, and later the house was checked by the yamen, how could Su Yi not know the general situation?
The crown prince who can be carried out by the yamen in disheveled clothes, and the Su parliament conspires with him?
What's more, it's not the crown prince anymore.
"I always feel that Su Yi has set a trap." Su Chang Road.
Samchen nodded: "Then bother the Su Dong family to bother and try to dig up more clues from Su Yi."
Su Chang laughed bitterly, he didn't want to respond, but he still responded: "Try your best, I'll do my best!"
The night was getting deeper.
Halfway through the third watch, there was almost no light in the town.
There was a knock on the side door of the mansion, and a group of several people entered the mansion and headed all the way to the main courtyard.
Father-in-law Ye, who heard the news, lit the lamp and woke up Li Du, who was not sleeping well on the bed: "Master, Su Yi brought someone here."
Li Du put on his clothes, his throat was uncomfortable, and he coughed twice before he said, "Then bring it to me to see if it looks like or not."
