Chapter 538: Taking the bait

"Dead? Isn't there still one day left? I have already thought of a way to rescue him." The old fishing man asked in confusion.

Dou Fu said: "This is because Lu Dongzan wanted to assassinate Li Feng, but he was shot to death by Li Feng with a musket, and Li Feng was also shot in the chest by Lu Dongzan with a sleeve arrow."

"I see." The old man nodded, "Then what's going on with the court."

"Your Majesty went around Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province and began to recruit troops from the people."

"Okay, I'll send you a letter and ask someone to go to Tibet."

"yes"

After Fang Xuanling got the news, she immediately approached Wei Zheng.

"Fang Xuanling, why did you stop me?" Wei Zheng said angrily.

Fang Xuanling said: "Why did you enter the palace? That's why I stopped you."

"Your Majesty bypassed the Menxia Province and the Zhongshu Province and issued the order to recruit troops. How can you not reason with His Majesty about this matter?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "You are so impulsive. Do you know how angry His Majesty was this time? Not only did he beat Li Junxian, but he was also dismissed from his post.

If you go to the palace now, you will only make His Majesty disgusted. When the time comes, you will be dismissed from your post and investigated. If Your Majesty does something even more egregious, then there will be one less minister to advise His Majesty and one less person who sincerely works for the people.

Good official, are you worthy?"

Wei Zheng hesitated immediately. After a moment, he looked at Fang Xuanling strangely and asked: "Why, when I advised His Majesty before, why didn't you stop me, why are you stopping me now?

Tell me, is there something I don't know about?"

"No, no, nothing." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Wei Zheng sneered and said, "Really? Since you don't want to say anything, you can only go to His Majesty and make it clear."

"Wait a minute." Fang Xuanling said helplessly, "You are really as stubborn as Li Feng said. Forget it, Li Feng agrees that I will tell you, but after you know it, you have to keep it a secret. In addition, you

I still need help."

"As long as it is something that benefits the country and the people, I will definitely help. But if it is something that harms the country and the people, I will immediately make your scandal known to the public." Wei Zheng said with an upright expression.

Fang Xuanling said: "It doesn't matter, I will take you to meet someone."

"good."

The two of them arrived at the house.

Fang Xuanling took Wei Zheng to the backyard.

Wei Zheng saw a man wearing a mask and exclaimed: "Mr. Iron Mask?"

The Iron Mask said: "It's me."

Then the man in the iron mask took off his mask, and Wei Zheng's eyes almost bulged out in shock.

Fang Xuanling said: "You can't tell anyone else what happens next."

"Sir, it's not good. A Tubo man was beaten and seriously injured." An official came running to the county government office, but the voice came first before he entered the county government office.

Cui Yu said calmly: "Send more manpower and recruit all the Tubo people in Chang'an to the county government."

"No, sir, now the Tubo people will be besieged by the common people whenever they go out. They don't dare to go out anymore," the official said.

Cui Yu thought for a while and said: "Inform me, the Tang Dynasty is about to go to war with Tubo. In order to avoid the leakage of the news, all Tubo people must be managed uniformly. If one person escapes, he will be jointly and severally responsible.

At the same time, the people were told that if they harmed innocent Tibetan people at will, the Tang Dynasty would be considered a barbaric country, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would be considered barbarians.

I hope you will not do anything that may be misunderstood by other countries."

"But"

"Follow my instructions." Cui Yu's face darkened. Such troubled times had occurred in the area under his jurisdiction, and he was extremely anxious at this moment.

But the official in front of me is facing me, but you are tall.

Cui Yu could only take these words to heart, as he read books from sages.

The official had no choice but to call all the officials to take action.

After much persuasion, all the people were finally persuaded. At the same time, all the 500 Tibetans who were still in Chang'an were gathered together to wait for the imperial court's decision.

After the Iron Masked Man left the house, he came to Li Feng's Zhuangyuan Building. The Baijia Cuisine Tavern had to be rebuilt because it was burned down.

This job was left to Yan Shuyi, with Han Yu and Zhao Shuixian assisting.

In the No. 1 Scholar Building, Zhao Long was still protecting Shangguan Yi and Li Yifu, because Li Er had not yet fully issued an order to confirm their identities, although everyone knew that the matter was a certainty.

But the people in the gambling house don't think so. As long as the emperor doesn't agree, then they haven't completely lost.

In order to convince everyone, Li Feng insisted not to let them go out.

This was very painful for Shangguan Yi and Li Yifu. They were almost bored to death. All the news they got was told to them by the waiter in the Number One Scholar Building.

They were extremely excited when the Man in the Iron Mask arrived, and they went out to see their uncle.

Under the escort of Zhao Long and others, they came to the room of the Man in the Iron Mask.

"Disciple, see my uncle." Shangguan Yi and Li Yifu responded at the same time.

The Iron Masked Man frowned and said, "You two are really good. You got the first and second place in the exam."

Li Yifu was the first to say: "Thank you very much, uncle, for the compliment. All this is the credit of my mentor. My nephew dare not take the credit."

"Very good, you know how to be humble." The Iron Masked Man smiled, "You two have been in high school for many days, why haven't you been given an official position yet?"

Shangguan Yi said: "My nephew inquired about it and found out that the matter was delayed due to the sudden arrival of Tibetan envoys from the imperial court."

"I understand, you can start going to the Military Academy tomorrow to act as tutors. Since the court does not pay attention to you two, you two can make great achievements again by relying on the academy." The Iron Man said.

"But my mentor has a bet with a gambling shop in Chang'an. The bet will continue until we are approved by His Majesty's decree," Shangguan Yi said.

"It doesn't matter, I have made the decision on this matter. I'm afraid you two are also frustrated. It's getting dark now, so why not go tomorrow?"

"yes."

Shangguan Yi and Li Yifu looked at each other, and then responded at the same time.

"Okay, I'm tired, you can go back."

"yes."

Not long after Shangguan Yi and Li Yifu left, there was another knock on the Iron Mask's room.

"Come in." The man in the iron mask said calmly.

A waiter came in and said, "Sir, there are people outside who want to meet your requirements, but you need to go to them."

"Where are the people?" the man in the iron mask said.

"He's leaving. Before he left, he asked the villain to give this letter to the gentleman." The waiter took out the letter and respectfully handed it to the man in the iron mask.

The man in the iron mask took the letter and said, "What else do they have to say?"

The waiter shook his head quickly and said, "No more."

"Okay, you go down first." The man in the iron mask said.

"yes."

After the waiter left, the man in the iron mask opened the letter and read it, then the corner of his mouth curled up: "I took the bait."
