Chapter 7: Night Detective
At the banquet, the guests were happy and staggered. But Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was not there, and the people who sat in the first place to preside over the banquet were two handsome men from top families.
Chen Ziyang of the Chen family, Huo Tianlin of the Huo family.
The two of them sat in the first place on the left and right, smiling lightly in response to the constant influx of offerings around them. The bearing of the son of the family is fully displayed.
Obviously, that King Liang didn't particularly care about such a banquet. This is just an attitude he shows like the major families.
Rather think about it carefully, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles. Since you have made up your mind not to let Liu Wu sit on the throne, you must know him well.
It's just that Ning Zhi originally planned to use this banquet to explore Liu Wu's bottom, but now looking at this appearance, it is obviously nothing to look at.
Maybe something else can be found.
Ning Zhi said to Li Ruoshui, "I have some things to leave." ”
Li Ruoshui nodded, and Ning Zhi left the banquet hall, leaving Li Ruoshui alone at the banquet. She found a corner that was not hidden and quietly watched the bustling feast in front of her. A pair of eyes like autumn water on a calm lake, I don't know what I'm thinking.
This is Ning Zhi's second visit to the Liang Palace, but everything is not exactly the same as recorded in his memory, because in the previous life, when Ning Zhi came, the entire Luoyang was razed to ruins. At that time, in order to remember the past, Ning Zhi took a while to walk through almost all of Luoyang City.
As a result, most places in Luoyang City are not familiar, but they will never be unfamiliar when they walk, at least they will not get lost. Including the emperor's harem of his old man.
If Ning Zhi went to the palace harem that day, then the emperor would find that Ning Zhi actually seemed to be quite familiar.
Following the path in his memory, coupled with the reconnaissance skills he learned in the military camp, Ning Zhi quietly touched the ...... of King Liang's Mansion all the way Lavatory.
"Tsk~, a toilet is so magnificent, this prince is only afraid that he is secretly operating a lot of things. Ning Zhi frowned, the situation was much worse than he thought.
See the big with the small, and know the autumn when the leaves fall. Ning Zhi touched all the way, the garden rockery, pavilions and pavilions in the Liang Wang's Mansion all revealed a magnificent trench. I'm afraid of the emperor's back garden, it's nothing more than that.
Even a toilet...... Ahem, don't talk about toilets.
This all shows one thing, this prince is not bad for money. However, the princes of the Han Dynasty relied on fiefdoms, and Liu Wu, the king of Liang, relied on the favor of the queen mother to rely on Luoyang to survive, which also made the royal family give him a part of the money.
But even if the Queen Mother loves him again, and even wants to put him on the throne, she will never pay for it like this.
So where did he get all that money?
Obviously, there are a lot of unknown businesses or forces behind this prince. And if you think about it further, Luoyang City has long been clearly divided by the major families.
Not to mention the prince, even if the emperor wants to touch the cakes of these families, he may touch his nose. Now that Liu Wu is in such a situation, it is obvious that many of the families in Luoyang are on Liu Wu's side, and this number should be a little more than Ning Zhi imagined in advance.
This is actually nothing, since Liu Wu wants to sit on the throne, he has been in Luoyang for more than ten years, and it is useless to not win over the family. Although Ning Zhi really felt that Liu Wu was really useless, a waste of dim sum! But Liu Wu could not sit on the throne with just one waste, and he could not have the support of the Queen Mother.
So King Liang should have a powerful think tank by his side, of course, a group of people may not be said. So although Ning Zhi looked down on King Liang and felt that he was an idiot, Ning Zhi would not despise the entire King Liang faction.
It's actually nothing, because it's all expected by Ning Zhi. And beyond Ning Zhi's expectations, Liu Wu has accumulated such a level of wealth, and he is silent, which is terrifying.
Liu Wu has been playing the image of a virtuous king in Luoyang City, and he has done such a big business in private.
In Luoyang City, which is supervised by major families, King Liang can do this to this extent, which only means one thing, there is a top family standing behind him!
Only the top family has the ability to make everything that Liu Wu operates in Luoyang City quietly.
"The Chen family, the Huo family, the Mu family, the Xun family. Which one will it be?" This conclusion made Ning Zhi's brows furrow deeply, the power of the top family is too strong, it stands to reason that a family of this level never needs to please anyone in power, as long as he ensures that he does not offend.
So these top families have never stood in line, and they don't need a team, because winning won't give them anything, but losing will really make a big mistake. It's not worth the cost.
"Then who will it be?Dou family?" Ning Zhi shook his head, "The Dou family is being watched too closely by the Liu family, if Liu Wu receives too much help from the Dou family, he will inevitably receive the dislike of the royal Liu family." This empire, after all, is still surnamed Liu. ”
Which one could be?
It seems that one is possible, but none of that is possible.
"And having that kind of money shouldn't just be used to decorate the mansion. Although I decided that Liu Wu was indeed such a person. Ning Zhi glanced at the toilet, took out the wine brought out from the banquet, and took a big sip, "After going deeper, when I was caught, I said that I had drunk too much and came to the toilet." ”
At the banquet, Li Ruoshui was still isolated from the hustle and bustle alone, like an independent white lotus, cold and arrogant.
However, it is impossible for a person with such a good appearance to be isolated from the excitement. Someone had already noticed Li Ruoshui, but they were hesitating to come up and talk.
Some are not interested and only appreciate beauty, while others are aware of some news.
King Liang has admiration for Li Ruoshui.
Most of the families behind the sons and daughters of the powerful who came to the banquet were close to King Liang, and they didn't dare to rob a woman with a prince with a hundred dares.
"Isn't she married to Ning Zhi?" someone whispered.
"What is this?" someone asked rhetorically.
Yes, that's the attitude of most people at the banquet towards Ningzhi. The Ning family is a powerful family, and everyone present acknowledges this.
But what they are afraid of is the Ning family, not a waste who just has a Ning family.
Besides, the most important thing for a family is the future, and the Ning family, when it is passed into the hands of Ning Zhi, there is no future at all.
In a certain corner of the banquet, a young man dressed in white and smiling lightly smiled, "Cousin, haven't you always wanted to give a chance to get acquainted with a powerful person in power, so that you can help Xiaoyuan?" ”
Beside him, a woman dressed in yellow cedar and with a slightly mean face looked slightly stunned. Then the young man laughed and whispered in her ear, and an insidious plan took shape.
