Chapter 159: Bianjing Seeks Appearance
"When the teacher was still around, I didn't want to come here the most."
Lin Xi stepped off the boat with Ling Yebai's support, looking at the high wall in the distance, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Xi Jingyao asked, "Why?" β
"Because I always have to face the faces of those traitors here, I used to be young and vigorous, and I will inevitably have conflicts with them, and I am afraid that the fight will not have a good impact on my teacher, and I am aggrieved...... I don't want to come back and forth. β
Ling Yebai said, "What about you now?" β
Lin Xi sighed, and a relieved smile seemed to appear on his face: "It's still young, it's a pity...... It's long gone that time is not the time to be vigorous, and now that I meet them again, I will definitely not fight them... Maybe you can still shoot them on the back? β
Xi Jingyao asked, "Are you such a person?" β
Lin Xi glanced at Xi Jingyao, "In this life, people will always do a lot of things against their will, all for the sake of the overall situationββ"
"So--where do we go now? Do you still need a guest house? Li Qingyou asked.
"The guest house is a definite one, but ...... Until then, we're afraid we're going to meet someone. β
"Who?"
"Shangshu Zuocheng - Wang Dan."
Xi Jingyao asked curiously, "Who is he?" β
Lin Xi replied: "He is a friend of Kou Xiang and is an upright person, and he is the one who took Kou Xiang's place and continued to fight against the traitors in the DPRK and China." We are looking for him to find out what is going on in the DPRK and China. β
After a little inquiry, everyone came to Wang Dan's mansion, and the guards in front of the door vigilantly stopped them.
"Stop! Who are you? β
Lin Xi arched his hand and said: "I'm tired and tired, so I said that Kou Xiang's family asked to see him." β
"Kou Xiang-" The guards in Beijing have also seen the world, so they naturally know who "Kou Xiang" is.
"Kou Xiang? Isn't he being degraded? With a full stomach full of questions, the guard took what Lin Xi held in his hand - it was a golden token with the word "Kou" on it.
"It's really ......" The guards recognized the token, and their voices softened slightly: "You wait here, I'll go in and make an announcement." β
"I'm tired." Lin Xi said respectfully.
After waiting in front of the door for a while, Wang Dan actually came out to greet Lin Xi and his party in person.
"Meet Elder Wang." Lin Xi said in a low voice.
Wang Dan swept the people in front of him, but he felt extremely angry.
"Please come in." Although Wang Dan was strange, he did not ask Lin Xi's identity in front of the door, but invited everyone into the main hall.
When he arrived at the main hall, Wang Dan finally asked what he was confused about: "This token is indeed the token of Koufu, and I have also taken pictures of the people of Koufu to some extent, but I don't seem to have seen you, you are ......"
Lin Xi said with a smile: "It's normal that Elder Wang Ge hasn't seen me in Kou Mansion, because I'm a student of General Cao. β
"General Cao?" Wang Dan's heart was shocked, "Which General Cao?" β
Lin Xi smiled secretly: "In the past few decades of the Great Song Dynasty, there has only been one General Cao." β
The surprise in Wang Dan's heart couldn't sit still anymore: "Are you Cao Bin's student?" β
"Exactly, junior Lin Xi."
After a burst of excitement, Wang Dan suddenly calmed down, "Wait--it's not a secret that General Cao has students, how can you prove it?" β
Lin Xi sighed embarrassedly: "I'm ...... There is no way to prove it. β
Wang Dan also sighed, obviously he was a little disappointed.
"However, this token can at least prove that I'm Kou Xiang's family, right?"
Wang Dan nodded: "That's right." β
Lin Xi said: "Actually, I have something to ask Elder Wang Ge, and this matter involves the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, so whether I am General Cao's student or Kou Xiang's family, it is the same." β
"You say...... The safety of the Great Song Dynasty? β
"Exactly."
"Tell me, I'm listening."
Lin Xi slowly said what he knew:
"Elder Wang Ge knows Liu Xi, right?"
"Of course I know, he is also the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty."
"According to reliable sources, Liu Xi has raised thousands of dead soldiers in the capital, and is ready to rebel while the harem concubine is giving birth."
Wang Dan was shocked: "What? How is this possible? β
"I don't think it's possible, but that's what his men told me personally. Not only that, but he also contacted the rebel forces of the Liao State, intending to seize power through their foreign aid. β
Wang Dan slowly stood up, thinking about something in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
Lin Xi asked, "Elder Wangge, you don't believe me?" β
Wang Dan sighed: "Your Majesty treats Liu Xi with great grace, why should he rebel?" β
Lin Xi smiled faintly: "I don't know, but some people's ambitions are born unstoppable, Liu Xidu has already done it under one person, won't he think about climbing up again?" β
Lin Xi said: "Don't hide it from the elder Wang Ge, the younger generation has just solved the rebellion of General Xiaowei of the Liao State, and everything I know is what Liu Xi's subordinates told me." β
Wang Dan swallowed his saliva a little nervously, "You just said that when Concubine Chen gave birth, what happened?" β
"According to my guess, now that Liu Xi's foreign aid is cut off, if you want to seize power, you must wait for another opportunity, and the emperor's heirs are withering, and the most important thing is this matter - once Concubine Chen gives birth to a prince, she will be made the crown prince. Elder Wang, am I right? β
Wang Dan nodded slightly: "That's not bad at all, and almost all the people in the palace are busy with the child in Concubine Chen's belly." β
"Although I don't know what Liu Xi wants to do, but ...... I think it is very likely to have something to do with the prince in Concubine Chen's belly. β
Wang Dan asked, "This matter is not a trivial matter, do you have any evidence?" β
Lin Xi shook his head helplessly: "No, that's why I came to ask you for help, Elder Wang." β
Wang Dan unconsciously clenched his fists, and suddenly asked Lin Xi, "Can I trust you?" β
Lin Xi took the token with the word "Kou" in his hand without changing his face, and only said one word: "Yes." β
Wang Dan sighed: "Okay, what do you want to do?" Go ahead. β
"Expose Liu Xi's crimes and stop his conspiracy."
Wang Dan retorted: "No. Liu Xi is extremely trusted by the saint, and there is also the traitor party in the DPRK and China who is abetting the abuse, don't say that you have no evidence, even if you have evidence, I'm afraid the saint will not believe it. β
"This junior also understands, so we must catch the exact evidence of Liu Xi's crime."
"You mean, the thousands of dead?"
"Yes, a place like the capital is not as good as the outside, and it is not easy to hide a team of thousands of people. We must let the Holy Lord pay attention to this matter, otherwise, most of the officials in the capital will not help us investigate this matter. β
Wang Dan smiled helplessly: "I understand your thoughts, but I'm afraid that your ideas won't be realized." β
"Why?" Lin Xi said suspiciously.
I saw Wang Dan sighing: "Alas, the saint is not in Beijing. β
