Chapter 300: Suspicious Shadows
At night, the imperial study was still brightly lit, and a box of treasures was shining under the illumination of the lights, Zhu Xingzhan looked at it frowning, and his blood rolled in his abdomen, and he was extremely angry.
After Xu Xiangkun reviewed the situation one by one, he withdrew from the imperial study under Zhu Xingzhan's instructions. Only Zhu Xingzhan and Wan Ziyu were left, sitting and kneeling.
Zhu Xingzhan slowed down for a long time before he stabilized his breath, but seeing that Wan Ziyu was still kneeling silently and not saying a word, he couldn't help but arouse the anger in his heart again, "There were rumors before that the prime minister cleared dissidents and formed a party for personal gain. I still didn't believe it, thinking that it was just a traitor, and I sent my own soldiers to protect the safety of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Now it seems that I underestimated the prime minister!" Zhu Xingzhan waved his palm and overturned the teacup, the teacup fell to the ground and rolled in a circle, and the residual hot water splashed on the corner of Wan Ziyu's clothes, drowning a large area.
Wan Ziyu took a deep breath and said calmly, "The first emperor and the old minister have the grace of acquaintance, so ......"
"So that's how you repay the first emperor and me?!" Zhu Xingzhan squeezed the bone china pen holder tightly, and under the strong force, the pen holder already had a slight crack.
"The old minister has never done anything to be ashamed of the first emperor, ashamed of His Majesty, and ashamed of the court. Wan Ziyu spoke sonorously and loudly, and no one was allowed to question it in the slightest.
"Then how do you explain this box of stolen goods?!How capable is the Ling Ye Palace rebel party, so that you can place these in the secret passage in the back garden of your well-guarded Prime Minister's Mansion, and you still don't know it?!"
Wan Ziyu's eyes flashed, and Zhu Xingzhan's words woke him up, who could put things into the backyard under his nose without realizing it?
The housekeeper Wan Lin has followed him since he was a child, and he trusts him, but he is just a little guy around him......
Wan Ziyu's contemplation at this time, in Zhu Xingzhan's opinion, was to find an excuse for his crime, Zhu Xingzhan's sharp and deep gaze stared at Wan Ziyu, "Prime Minister, is there nothing to say?"
Wan Ziyu said, "Except for a sentence that has been framed by a traitorous villain, the old minister really has nothing to say." ”
"What a thing I have nothing to say!" Zhu Xingzhan laughed angrily, and picked up a book of excerpts, all of which were impeachment of Wan Ziyu, with sharp words, Zhu Xingzhan wanted to throw it to Wan Ziyu, but after thinking about it, he gave up and threw it back to the side.
Zhu Xingzhan closed his eyes tightly to adjust his luck, and after a long time, he came back and shouted outside the door, "Xu Xiangkun!"
When the words landed, Xu Xiangkun came in with two of his subordinates, "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Xingzhan opened his eyes, looked at Wan Ziyu and frowned, and said, "Send the Prime Minister to Xing Wei's Mansion, pick a tidy room for good care, and don't abuse and harsh!"
"Obey the order!" After Xu Xiangkun received the order, he turned to Wan Ziyu again, "My lord, please!"
Wan Ziyu kowtowed, and the officers and soldiers of Xing Weifu picked him up and left with Xu Xiangkun. Immediately afterwards, two chamberlains came in, and under Zhu Xingzhan's instructions, they carried away a box of 'stolen goods'.
The imperial study was quiet again, only the lights flickered, Zhu Xingzhan leaned on the back of the chair, exhaled deeply, raised his hand and rubbed his frowning brows, at this time he only felt a headache and swelling and breathing poorly.
The sound of footsteps sounded in his ears again, and Zhu Xingzhan's personal bodyguard Hu Li walked in cautiously, "Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Xingzhan didn't bother to open his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Hu Li maintained a bowing posture and replied, "Your Majesty, traces of Li Zifeng have been found in the city. ”
Zhu Xingzhan opened his eyes after hearing this, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where is the person?"
Hu Li continued, "Li Zifeng entered the city at about Mo Shen and stayed at the Yueming Inn in the south of the city. ”
"Send someone to secretly keep an eye on Li Zifeng's every move, I want to see what he does!"
"Yes!" Hu Li ordered to retreat.
When Hu Li went out, there was a gust of wind, and the flames on the candlestick shook slightly, Zhu Xingzhan looked at the blurred circles of light emitted by the candles, a plausible smile appeared on his face, and he silently said in his heart: Li Zifeng... A good disciple of Ouyang Ze's sect.
The moonlight was bleak, and the autumn wind was whisking, rolling up the remaining fallen leaves on the ground and drifting around, setting off a burst of coolness.
Li Zifeng and Xiao Yun quietly arrived around the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hidden way, hidden in the corner of the wall, the Prime Minister's Mansion at night seemed even more nervous, from the front to the backyard, the inside and the outside three floors, had already been surrounded by the emperor's personal guards, and there were guards patrolling back and forth. Those outside can't get close, and those inside can't escape.
Li Zifeng sighed slightly, and suddenly, a small voice sounded in his ears, Li Zifeng blinked his eyes, and the two sneaky figures could not escape his eyes.
Xiao Yun also realized it, looking at the two flashing black shadows, he secretly exclaimed in his heart, he looked at Li Zifeng, his face was full of apologies, "I'm sorry, I brought a tail and bit you." ”
"Definitely. Li Zifeng smiled deeply, "This tail has been wrapped around me since I entered the city." ”
"What?" Xiao Yun frowned, "Isn't that the conversation we put in the inn?"
Li Zifeng looked at Xiao Yun amusedly, and said in a low voice, "I said Brother Dark Guard, don't go around saying that you are from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future." ”
Xiao Yun frowned, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, he suddenly remembered that when he met Li Zifeng for the first time, he had seen Li Zifeng's body, and his two subordinates who boasted of being excellent in tracking their bodies also fell for Li Zifeng's bag drop scheme.
There was a sound of neat footsteps from far to near, and the two noticed a group of patrol guards coming from not far away, and the two quickly dodged and blocked it by a tall wall, and the patrol guards brushed past them.
The footsteps in his ears went away, Li Zifeng exhaled deeply, and looked at the prime minister's side from a distance, "You go back first, and in half an hour, we will see you in the side courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Xiao Yun chuckled and looked Li Zifeng up and down, "You are more familiar than me." ”
"You're welcome. ”
"Where are you going in a moment?"
Li Zifeng looked at the street not far away, there was a little dim light, and touched his stomach, "I'm hungry." ”
Xiao Yun snorted lightly, and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Li Zifeng, "What are you doing?"
"You'll go back when I'm gone. Li Zifeng waved his hand, and a figure disappeared behind Li Zifeng.
Xiao Yun's expression tightened, and he subconsciously clenched the weapon hidden in his waist, Li Zifeng patted his hand, signaled him to relax, and then whispered in Xiao Yun's ear, "Don't be so nervous, when I fill my stomach, I'll go to you." ”
Li Zifeng stood up straight, stretched his waist, and was really tired after tossing for so long. He couldn't help but yawn and walked towards the light on the side of the street, followed by a figure.
The figure following beside him also looked in the direction of the lamp, "Senior brother, the clouds and rain are already waiting there." ”
Li Zifeng looked sideways at Shi Yi beside him, and his steps kept moving, "Very good, we'll act when the opportunity arises." ”
The figures of the two gradually moved away, Xiao Yun looked at it inexplicably for a while, and whispered to himself: There is labor. Immediately, a flying figure disappeared like the wind.
Cai's wonton stall is a famous snack bar in Wai An City, and one of the few shops that can open a night market, with two lanterns hanging at the door, pointing out the way for night walkers.
Li Zifeng took Shi Yi and walked into Cai's snack shop generously, completely ignoring the tail behind him.
There were sporadic guests in the snack shop who were enjoying eating hot wonton or mixed noodles, and when the guy saw two people coming in, he hurriedly came out to greet them, "Two guest officers, what do you want to eat, wonton or mixed noodles?"
"Two bowls of wonton. I can't forget your craftsmanship of Boss Cai!" Li Zifeng cleared his throat.
At this time, a person hurriedly walked over, it was Cai Kun, the shopkeeper of the snack shop, Cai Kun looked at Li Zifeng, and raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that the distinguished guest is coming, and everything is fine recently?"
"Very good. ”
Cai Kun instructed the guys, "Two bowls of wonton, and then cut a plate of sauce beef." Seeing that Li Zifeng was about to refuse, he hurriedly said, "You're welcome, this supper is considered to be my invitation." Shall we talk?"
Li Zifeng bowed his hand and saluted back, "There is labor." ”
The area of the snack shop is not large, the so-called single room, that is, a separate room, with windows for ventilation, the room is not large, but it is very tidy, and the tables and chairs are all available.
The light is soft and slightly dim, but it is enough to illuminate, and it will be good for Li Zifeng, Li Zifeng thanked him embarrassedly, "Boss Lao Cai is thoughtful." ”
"Hey... What are you polite to me?" Cai Kun is a cheerful person, seeing Li Zifeng so polite, he was a little uncomfortable, "Boss Shen has also helped me a lot in the past, and I am also a person who knows how to repay my kindness, if you need help, I will go to the soup and go to the fire." ”
Li Zifeng coughed twice, "Boss Cai is serious, there is just a trivial matter in front of him." ”
"Oh?"
