Li Yifu came out of Ziwei Palace and turned from the palace road to the main road. He saw an ox cart filled with hay ramming fiercely towards his convoy. Smoke was coming from the tail of the ox pulling the cart. At the same time, the ox cart behind it
The hay also burned in an instant, being dragged by the crazy cow like a huge fireball.
Li Yifu did not panic, and the guards under his command quickly thought of a countermeasure. They placed the front carriage across the road and cut off the reins with a knife to let the frightened draft horses run away first.
As soon as the draft horse ran away, the mad bull dragged the big fireball and hit the carriage. The ignited hay on the cart immediately left the cart, passed over the crashed carriage and the fallen mad cow, and fell on it.
Ten steps ahead of Li Yifu's carriage.
Li Yifu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked calmly at the blazing carriage in front of him and the mad cow still struggling in the fire. He said to the guard leader who was guarding him: "Didn't you catch the thief?"
The leader of the guard looked at Luoyang Bad Human running around looking for suspicious people and said: "Mr. Lang, it looks like there won't be any results."
Li Yifu nodded and said: "In that case, let's go back to the imperial city and rest at the official office."
The leader of the guard said: "Lang Jun, in the imperial city, I have no way to personally protect you with my own hands. Moreover, I cannot be picky about all the food there. There may be more trouble."
big."
Li Yifu asked: "Isn't the imperial city also unstable?"
The leader of the guard said: "So far, the identities of those who have plotted to assassinate the prince are very mixed. There are dancers, cooks, bad guys, merchants, and Tuyuhun people. It is not surprising that there is also a handyman in the imperial city.
"
Li Yifu looked at Mad Bull who no longer ricocheted, nodded and said: "We should leave Luoyang as soon as possible and go to Chang'an."
The guard leader sighed and said: "Judging from the current situation, it might be better to be in the military camp, but I'm afraid..."
Li Yifu smiled bitterly and said: "Yun Chu's reputation in the army has always been very good. The biggest dream of the Heluo soldiers is to be transferred to Chang'an to join the army. Therefore, the army is not so stable."
The leader of the guard said: "Since Lang Jun knew that Yun Chu was harming you, didn't he report it clearly to His Majesty?"
Li Yifu sighed and said: "I have reported it, but your Majesty does not believe it, or in other words, your Majesty does not want to believe it. Jiulang, we are in big trouble."
The leader of the guard said in confusion: "Mr. Lang holds a high position as prime minister and is deeply loved by the saints. The queen has great trust in him. Over the years, there is nothing that Lang Jun Shan Fan has said that is not allowed. Why is it happening now?"
Saying these depressing words?”
Li Yifu smiled and shook his head and said: "You don't understand. Since you also think that the imperial city is not a safe place, let's continue going back to the palace."
Seeing the bad guys moving away the burning haystack, Li Yifu's carriage continued to move forward surrounded by guards. Only Li Yifu felt inexplicably sad when passing the burned black mad cow.
A strong man in black walked through Pinganfang and stopped at a small bamboo shop in Kaimingfang. After looking around, he entered the shop.
The shopkeeper of the bamboo shop came up to him with a smile and said, "As long as you have what you need, the shop will have everything you need."
The strong man in black took out a money coin from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper: "It's done, but it didn't work out. Let's settle the bill according to the previous agreement!"
The shopkeeper of the bamboo shop took the money with the look of a pavilion on it and asked doubtfully: "Why is this?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper seemed confused, the strong man in black said in a deep voice: "You don't know this thing?"
The shopkeeper categorically shook his head and said: "Guests should know that nowadays, if you spend money to make private coins, you can't sell them at a high price. Besides, the shop is a bamboo shop and we also accept money items, but we can't give you the price."
Seeing that the manager of the bamboo shop was telling the truth, the strong man in black grabbed the money, turned around and left the bamboo shop.
As soon as he went out, he saw a man selling straw sandals leaning against the lintel of the bamboo shop, smiling at him.
The strong man in black hesitated, put the money in his palm, came to the man selling straw sandals and spread his hands.
The straw sandal seller took away the money and said with a smile: "The method of the fire ox to defeat the enemy is the most thoughtful assassination in the past two days. It is a pity that it was blocked by the car in front, otherwise the thief would have shed his skin even if he did not die.
If things are not harmonious, there is nothing you can do about it. Oxen, oxcarts, and fodder are worth eight guan to you, and the risks you take are worth seven guan to you, so how about a total of fifteen guan?"
The strong man in black looked at the tattered straw sandal stall opposite. He didn't understand how this man could get fifteen guan of money.
Just when he was confused, the man selling straw sandals took out a bunch of money from his sleeve, put it in the palm of the strong man in black and said: "A piece of money is worth a thousand dollars, and it is exactly ten thousand dollars."
The strong man in black was holding money and looking around.
The man selling straw sandals said: "Don't look at it, your companions in Dali Temple have fallen into my split plum blossom trick, and you are the only one left here."
The strong man in black arched his back slightly and was about to draw the knife from his waist when he saw the straw sandal seller waved his hand towards him and said: "This is Qingyi House's business. As long as you do it as agreed, you will receive the money.
It doesn't matter whether you are a member of the government or not, we only look at the results.
Brother, you are already forty years old this year, right?"
The strong man in black said warily: "How are you doing?"
The straw sandal seller laughed and said: "Don't be afraid. I just saw that your clothes are shabby and your shoes are almost worn out. It seems that your family background is not good. How about it? The salary from the job in Dali Temple is not enough to support your family of eight."
Home?"
There was a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the strong man in black, but the man selling straw sandals grabbed his arm and put the money back into his hand and said: "The first business is done, let's talk about it next time."
."
The strong man in black wanted to pounce on the straw sandal seller, but in the end he remained motionless and watched helplessly as he packed up his stall and left Kaimingfang with his load.
When people from Dali Temple in Luoyang found the strong man in black, the strong man in black shook his head at the leader of the arrest.
The catcher asked: "They won't pay?"
The strong man in black took out ten pieces of money from his arms and put them in his hands and said, "I didn't see the thief, but I have fifteen pieces of money in my arms."
The head catcher took the ten coins, weighed them in his hand and said, "It's a loss. According to the market price in Luoyang, I should have given eleven coins.
However, they were considered to be reputable, so they thought it was an invisible matter, but they didn't expect that they would actually get money.
It's a pity, we are officials, not thieves, otherwise this deal would be completely successful.
Lao Su, since we have given you the money, we have to do this kind of thing of luring the snake out of its hole a few more times. Anyway, the superior officer has given an order to solve the case of assassinating the prime minister within a time limit. No matter how many times we do it, we will always have an excuse.
We dare not hurt the prime minister, but those servants..."
Lao Su, a strong man in black, nodded and said: "What the boss said is absolutely true. Brothers all live a miserable life. There is such a thing where you can get fifteen points for doing something. We brothers must not miss it."
."
Just after the people from Dali Temple left, a young man who looked like a cook who was very close to them turned around and entered another courtyard.
Xue Changfeng criticized the abacus that is now popular in Chang'an and Luoyang, and said to Yin Erhu: "In two days, nine assassinations were attempted, six died, three were captured alive, and four escaped. It seems that the guards around Li Yifu are still
It works quite well.”
Yin Erhu said dissatisfied: "We are only qualified to spend ten thousand guan. You have spent almost 300 guan in two days. If you continue to use it lavishly, ten thousand guan will not last long."
Xue Changfeng shook his head and said: "It's not your money, why do you care so much?"
Yin Erhu said: "Your Majesty's money is not brought by strong winds. I will not allow you to waste it like this."
Xue Changfeng said: "Every money spent today will be repaid a hundred times in the future."
Yin Erhu said with a smile: "It belongs to the Lord. There is no question of repayment. No matter how much you earn, it all belongs to the Lord. You and I can only take two cents from it."
Xue Changfeng sighed and said: "How can a tiger roar proudly in the mountains and forests if its legs and feet are tied and its sharp teeth are sealed?"
Yin Erhu frowned and said: "Here, the Lord, the rules are the highest. If the Lord wants money, how much money can he not get?
If the Lord wants power, he has a better way. Changfeng, I helped you ask the Lord for this Qingyi Tower.
It is a place that can help you realize your dreams and allow you to have a good dream, but you must never make this dream come true."
Xue Changfeng sighed and said, "I want my horse to run but not let it eat grass."
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "The Lord said that Qingyi Tower is originally black, and if you are not careful, it will turn into a poisonous dragon. Therefore, it is best to shackle this poisonous dragon and let him dance."
Xue Changfeng said: "If this is the case, it will be difficult for things here to achieve what the Lord wants."
Yin Erhu said: "Behavior must be controlled and things must be achieved. If you can't do this, what is the Lord doing with this Qingyi Building? What do you want trash like you and me to do?"
Also, don't do any tricks in front of the Lord that will affect your life. The Lord will not allow such things to happen.
Moreover, what the Lord hates most is for others to give him surprises, so even if we fail to do things in a mediocre way, it is a hundred times better than giving the Lord a big surprise."
Xue Changfeng looked at Yin Erhu's shining eyes and said, "Who is our master? Chang'an Yun?"
Yin Erhu smiled and said, "You can continue to guess."
Xue Changfeng hesitated and said: "I only know that you are a shopkeeper of Jinchangfang Cafeteria."
Yin Erhu smiled and said, "You can continue to guess."
Xue Changfeng said: "The unreasonable thing is He Lan Minzhi. Yun Chu and He Lan Minzhi seem to be just acquaintances between gentlemen. There is no enmity or kindness. Why do you want to do anything to deal with He Lan Minzhi? This is me
The only thing I can’t figure out.”
Yin Erhu patted Xue Changfeng on the shoulder and said: "Don't think about it, it's really tiring. If you don't like Qingyi Building, you can hand it over to someone else. You can go and participate in next year's national competition. It would be good to get a Jinshi and go back to honor your ancestors."
."
Xue Changfeng gritted his teeth and said: "I was born to be a bohemian, and I cannot live a stable life."
Yin Erhu smiled and said: "Then continue, so that Li Yifu cannot go to Chang'an smoothly."
The carriages and horses of Li Yi Mansion moved very slowly, and it was not until the sky was about to darken that they safely returned to Luoyang Mansion.
When he entered the back house, he did not go to his wife Zhao's room, but walked into a lonely courtyard nearby.
Chunyu put down his pen and ink and went out to greet him. Before Chunyu could say anything, Li Yifu asked: "Can the divine inscriptions be used?"
Chunyu pointed to the tortoise shells and dragon bones all over the table, and sighed: "The deeper you delve into, the more loopholes there will be. These tortoise shell inscriptions and dragon bone inscriptions cannot be made in a short while."
Li Yifu walked around the room and said, "I have a feeling that a disaster is coming. If you can't write an edict for worshiping heaven in sacred writing when His Majesty consecrates Mount Tai, a great disaster may come."
Chunyu looked at Li Yifu and sighed: "Nowadays, even if Mrs. Li is a domestic servant, she can still have an official status, not to mention that all the children in the family occupy noble positions. I originally thought that my husband would be satisfied with this.
Unexpectedly, last year, Lang Jun moved Aye's bones to the side of Yongkang Mausoleum. It would have been fine if he had done it quietly. Instead, Lang Jun recruited people from seven counties to build Aye's tomb with great fanfare.
, the regulations are only one foot lower than Yongkang Mausoleum.
What I don’t understand the most is why the husband wants to amass a lot of money in this matter, so that the gift-giving team is seventy miles long?
Mr. Lang, what you are doing is just because you hate yourself to death."
Li Yifu blushed at what Chunyushi said, slapped Chunyushi on the face and said angrily: "I'm just a cheap maid, but you dare to comment on a real man."
After the beating, he walked away without even looking at Chunyu who fell to the ground. He only felt that a fire was burning fiercely in his heart.
Mrs. Chunyu waited for Li Yifu to leave before she slowly got up and rubbed her red and swollen face. A maid quietly came over and said to Mrs. Chunyu: "Mr. Lang is gone."
Chunyu Shi rubbed her sore face and said to the maid: "Have you contacted all the people I want you to contact?"
The maid hesitated and said: "Madam, do we really want to leave the county government's mansion?"
Mrs. Chunyu looked at the maid and said, "The building here is about to collapse, and it can no longer shelter us weak women from the wind and rain."
The maid has been with Chunyu since she was a child and is loyal to her. Seeing that the lady has made up her mind, she nods and says: "My maid has already looked for the escort with the best reputation in the guild. They said that it is only 700 miles to Anyang."
The roads are basically all official roads, and there are not many thieves. If you travel with a light vehicle, you can arrive there in five days."
Chunyu smiled and said: "If we arrive in Anyang, our master and servant will be completely safe. We have also accumulated some savings over the years. From now on, we can accompany these oracle bones and dragon bones and study with peace of mind."
The maid looked at the madam and said in confusion: "We are just two weak women, helpless in Anyang..."
Chunyu said: "Of course I have someone to rely on. It's just that people dislike my bad reputation, so they don't want to have direct contact with us.
My reputation is not good, and my body is also dirty. Fortunately, knowledge is inherently immune to dirt. Even if it comes from the toilet, it will still shine when it should shine, and when it should be admired by all, it will still shine.
He will still be admired by everyone."
The maid carefully pointed to the slap marks on Chunyu's face and said, "What should I do here, Duke?"
Mrs. Chunyu pointed to the scars on her face and said, "This is the last bit of my devotion to him that we have protected him all these years.
When he took me out of prison, all he cared about was my color. Now, I am too late for sex, and I have nothing to worry about for him. It is best to leave at this time.
I don’t want to see with my own eyes the tragic situation of his entire family being raped and beheaded, even if it’s the last trace of tenderness I gave him.”
