Chapter 208 Secret Room Discussion
At this time, the sun was rising, Xiao Han took the two of them into the house from the back door with the housekeeper, and the housekeeper invited them into the small courtyard where Xiao Han had stayed behind, told them that the master had gone to the court, and asked them to wait for a while.

Xiao Han naturally agreed, the housekeeper withdrew from the courtyard, Xiao Han, Chai Xinyue, and Murong Qiuyu talked about the interesting things they had stayed here, and the two knew that he and Li Yueying had a secret relationship from here, so they just listened silently and nodded their heads from time to time.
Xiao Han was very satisfied, especially Murong Qiuyu, although her face was always so indifferent and flat, but she could see a trace of warmth in her eyes from time to time. Now that she has broken with Shi Chuyang, and she is unwilling to go back to Saiwai, she has become her best place to stay. With her by his side, Xiao Han's safety was guaranteed, so he secretly decided that he would never let her leave him easily.
The two listened to Xiao Han for a long time, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, and a young man walked in with a smile on his face, it was Li Congshan. Seeing that in addition to Xiao Han and Li Yueying, there was another strange woman in the house, and her face couldn't help but show doubts. Xiao Han hurriedly introduced Murong Qiuyu to him, and Li Congshan greeted her again. Murong Qiuyu returned the salute lightly, which made Li Congshan feel very strange.
Li Congshan frowned and was silent, Xiao Han knew that he must have something important to invite him to come, so he said: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly, they are all my friends in the rivers and lakes, they don't talk nonsense, and they are not interested in state affairs." ”
Li Congshan sighed, glanced outside the door, suddenly got up and closed the door, leading the three of them into the bedroom, groping with both hands on the wall, the carved bed in the bedroom suddenly moved slowly, revealing a black hole.
Xiao Han was taken aback, he had lived here for a long time, and he didn't realize that there was still a mechanism here. Li Congshan smiled at the three of them and took the lead in going down the hole. Murong Qiuyu glanced at Xiao Han and followed, Xiao Han made a gesture to Chai Xinyue and asked her to stay at the end.
The four of them descended in turn, and the entrance to the cave slowly recovered and closed. The four of them walked along the dark passage for one or twenty meters, and found that it was a hut of seventy or eighty square meters, with countless documents and books stacked inside, a long table in the middle, and more than a dozen chairs on the side.
This is a standard secret room, Li Congshan lit four candles, and the room lit up immediately. Li Congshan smiled and said to Xiao Han, "Three of you, please take a seat." Xiao Han looked at the room and sat down casually. Murong Qiuyu and Chai Xinyue sat on either side of him.
Xiao Han said seriously: "King Zheng is summoned, I don't know what is important?" Li Congshan shook his head and said: "Brother Xiao doesn't have to be polite, or call me a teacher." Chai Xinyue and Murong Qiuyu didn't say a word, Li Congshan glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "I invite Brother Xiao to come today, first, there is a person who wants to see Brother Xiao, and second, there is a major event that I want to ask Brother Xiao to help you take a closer look." ”
Before Xiao Han could speak, he saw a person suddenly come out from behind the table, Chai Xinyue immediately stood up, on guard, Xiao Han waved his hand to let her sit down, looked at the person and smiled: "Long time no see, has it always been good?"
The person who came was Zhang Quanyue, the assassin of Chizhou, and said to Xiao Han with a smile on his face: "I heard that Wudang established a faction in Putuo, which is really gratifying. I also pondered sending someone to send a congratulatory gift, but I didn't expect Master Xiao to come, which was really a blessing. ”
Xiao Han laughed and said, "How many congratulatory gifts are you going to give me?" Everyone laughed together, Li Congshan waved his hand to let Zhang Quanyue sit down, looked back at Xiao Han and said: "I have heard from my little sister, I don't have a penny left to use all the money I gave her to build the Wudang faction, but it is the Wudang faction that I donated as my brother, so to speak, it is our brother and sister who have the closest relationship with the Wudang faction." ”
Xiao Han smiled with an embarrassed face: "The master is wrong, there is not a penny left, and in the end, there are a few hundred taels of silver left." Everyone laughed, and Li Congshan said with a smile: "As long as the little sister is happy, I am willing to spend more money." Zhang Quanyue followed and joked: "If Master Xiao doesn't dislike it, Ben Thorn Shi can also send one or two thousand silver for the Wudang faction to spend." ”
Xiao Han laughed, spread his hands and said: "I am Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier, Zhang Tingshi's words are out, the horse is difficult to chase, I will send someone to your state government to ask for money, don't admit it then." Everyone laughed again, and after laughing, Li Congshan slowly regained his face and said: "Now that the situation has changed, please Zhang Tingshi say it first, and I will add two more points, there are only five people here, you and me, you can speak as bluntly." ”
Xiao Han knew that Li Congshan had already had the intention of competing for the position, so he immediately nodded and said: "The two of you can say it bluntly, although the head of this family is a person from the rivers and lakes, it is still okay to come up with some ideas." Zhang Quanyue nodded and said: "The lord has decided to move west to Hongzhou after the New Year, and leave the crown prince in charge of the country." ”
Xiao Han nodded and said, "This is not a strange thing. Zhang Quanyue continued: "This is naturally not a strange thing, it is strange that the lord of the country suddenly issued an edict last month, fined Benzhou for one year, and demoted one level to retention." Xu Xuan, the imperial history of the Chinese book, was demoted by two levels, and General Lin Renzhao was also fined and retained, but fortunately King Zheng was not involved. ”
Li Congshan's face was solemn, and he continued: "This morning, the lord of the country was furious, and reprimanded the ministers for forming a party for personal gain, and did not think of working together to support the prince, and then issued an edict to punish Yang Shui, the deputy commander of the Ma Bu Army, Sun Zhen, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses, Zheng Yanhua, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, Du Zhen, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of Tiande, Li Xiong, the commander of the Jiangkou Prefecture, Zheng Bin, the head of the Divine Guard, Zhu Lingbin, the Marquis of Yu, and Wang Hui, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Divine Guard, and Wang Hui, the Marquis of the Zhan Dynasty, each of them were fined for three months, which frightened the soul of the little king and flew away, and I don't know why the lord of the country made a sudden move. ”
Xiao Han frowned and pondered: "Did the lord mention you?" Li Congshan shook his head and said: "No, the lord finally rewarded the king for worrying about national affairs and encouraged me to be closer to the prince." ”
Xiao Han then asked, "Are all the people you just raised from your party?" Li Congshan and Zhang Quanyue glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Xiao Han didn't expect that his ability was far beyond his imagination, maybe he had already been involved in national politics, and he usually put a lot of effort into this, so there were so many people with great power.
Xiao Han saw that Li Congshan's face was pale, he looked uneasy, and sighed: "With all due respect, the lord of the country is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, you are not acting secretly, the lord of the country knows that you have dealings with these people, and the crown prince lives in the palace, but he is not as free as you to come and go, for the sake of peace in the future, I have to beat you, so that you break the heart of the reserve." ”
Zhang Quanyue nodded slightly and said: "I think so too, but since the lord of the country knows that we are all members of King Zheng's party, why don't we all depose them and just punish them? ”
Xiao Han didn't know if he was the butterfly in South America, and a flap of his wings would cause a hurricane. Power is like a stimulant, it doesn't matter if ordinary people can't taste it, once they taste the benefits it brings, it's like taking drugs, they have to fight for their lives, try it, and it's nothing to kill their brothers and kill their brothers for this.
Back then, the crown prince Li Hongji was afraid of being replaced by Li Jing's younger brother, the imperial uncle, so he did not hesitate to send someone to poison him, if it weren't for Li Hongji's shallow blessings and his death halfway, there would not be the current soft egg Li Yu as the prince.
Li Congshan is sincere and upright, quite strategic and scheming, but he can give it a try, even if he doesn't succeed, it is better than the soft egg Li Yu who can only play tricks on his sister-in-law.
Thinking of this, Xiao Han Zhengse said: "This matter can't be rushed, it doesn't matter if the lord of the country knows, he is now all thinking about moving the capital, this must be someone within you who has rebelled, eager to show loyalty to the new emperor, and does not hesitate to sell you in exchange for the capital to climb up." ”
The two suddenly realized, nodded at the same time, and Li Congshan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought that the imperial brother had changed his temperament and began to care about state affairs." Xiao Han sneered: "Dogs can't change their, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change. ”
The two shook their heads at the same time, Li Congshan suddenly remembered something, and said with a mocking face: "In June this year, the Qianzhou disaster, this king was ordered by the lord of the country to go to the disaster relief, and allocated 300,000 taels of silver, the imperial brother quietly found me, saying that the East Palace was insufficient, and asked me to allocate 50,000 taels for private use, I didn't dare to use the disaster silver privately, so I prepared 50,000 silver to deliver to him, and later learned that he had taken a fancy to a few Qin and Han calligraphy and paintings, and took the imperial sister-in-law's jewelry as a lot. ”
Zhang Quanyue said with a disdainful face: "Benzhou and the crown prince have met twice, and in March this year, someone suddenly came to Chizhou with a letter from the East Palace and asked Benzhou to change the verdict of a case. ”
Xiao Han was interested, and he wanted to hear what bastard things this rare king of the dead country in history had done, so he stared at Zhang Quanyue intently and said, "What case?" Zhang Quanyue sighed, and then said: "There is a Zheng Yuanwai in Benzhou, the family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, tens of thousands of mules and horses, seeing that the New Year is not confused and there are no children under his knees, and he has no concubines in five rooms.
The housekeeper inquired in every way and fell in love with the daughter of Ma Laosan, a vegetable farmer in Qingyang County, but Ma Laosan refused to agree, saying that his daughter had promised to marry her cousin as his wife, but the cousin was studying abroad and did not come back for a while. Zheng Yuanwai bullied others, and asked the housekeeper to lead someone to snatch the girl over. The girl had a strong personality, and after being insulted, she hanged herself that night, and Ma Laosan was furious when she learned about it, fell ill in bed, and died. ”
Xiao Han was furious when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to peel and chop this Zheng Yuan into meat sauce. Suddenly, he heard a soft "click" on the ground, Xiao Han hurriedly turned around, but saw that the ground under Murong Qiuyu's feet was slightly cracked. Li Congshan and Zhang Quanyue looked at each other, and their faces changed at the same time.
Xiao Han nodded slightly to Murong Qiuyu, who suddenly showed a look of coyness and said softly, "I'm sorry." Xiao Han shook his head and said, "Me too." The two looked at each other better than a thousand words. Chai Xinyue glanced at the two of them enviously, slowly turned her head away, wiped the tears overflowing from her eyes, and was obviously moved by Miss Ma's tragic story.
Li Congshan said with concern: "Are the two girls okay?" Zhang Quanyue stopped and looked at Xiao Han. Xiao Han smiled and said: "We are all from the rivers and lakes, we are excited for a while, don't worry, Lord Zhang, please continue." ”
Zhang Quanyue nodded, and was about to continue, when Li Congshan suddenly said, "Slow." ”
