Chapter 247 Darkroom
Duke An Guo and Li Sheng were very intense.
When Gu Xiang went in, Duke An Guo’s mouth turned blue.
Well, Li Sheng didn't hurt a single hair on the surface, but the blinking speed was too fast and there was a slight sweat on his forehead. I guess he was also a little hurt in a place that was unspeakable.
Gu Xiangquan pretended not to see it, and regardless of the other person's affairs between the master and servant, he just gently put down the tray, took the bowl and spoon to put the porridge out, walked over and handed it to Li Sheng, and smiled and said, "Please use it for Mr. Li."
Zhao Ying: “…”
Li Sheng: It feels so good! The few footsteps I was trampled just now are nothing.
Gu Xiang: Duke An Guo was a noble man, and he must have been very careful in what he had to say. I remember that when he was in Yongyi Army, it was like those foods. Someone had checked them in advance before he could present them to him. It was serious to give them to Li Changsui first.
"The prince is also slow to use it."
Gu Xiang smiled, and with a little blessing, he pushed the door open, "The little girl went up first. Even if Mr. Li was just doing it, don't forget to drink more."
The state of eating and drinking is completely different from the state of hunger. If she doesn't give Li Sheng food, she may encounter someone who likes to think too much, and she may have to reveal her feelings.
Watching Gu Xiang go out, Zhao Ying stared at Li Sheng leisurely sitting on the chair, holding a bowl of porridge, and even looking at him, she felt that the porridge was particularly fragrant.
Zhao Ying coughed lightly and walked over silently to serve himself a bowl.
Swallowed in one bite, it still has the same flavor, soft, glutinous, fragrant and smooth, and the pork liver tastes crispy, chewy and delicious.
"The third lady asked you to help me try the poison, and she was not sincere in giving it to you."
Li Sheng rolled his eyes, then went over to scoop a bowl openly, and stopped sitting, and just kept guarding the casserole and ate happily.
Zhao Ying: "You kid, you dared to hit me just now, and you still want to anger me now. You have really grown capable!"
Li Sheng sneered: "You are always very capable. What did you want to do just now? Are you hitting my sword by yourself? If I don't have a stable hand and are so one and a half inches, okay, it would be fine if I will lose my life for you myself. I am unlucky. I have been implicated by you since I was a child. But why should my father, my mother, and my brothers and sisters be implicated?"
Zhao Ying looked over innocently.
Li Sheng was choked and couldn't curse anything he wanted to scold. Who could curse at his face?
"never mind."
If the Duke of the State cannot return to Beijing smoothly, he will really let these idiots in the government be used by Xixia and the traitors. Whether it is destroying the river or fighting with the Liao Dynasty, it will be a disaster that is almost like the sky and the earth sinking.
Compared with these, the Li family took some risks and was nothing.
Before leaving Beijing this time, Li Sheng did not expect that his young master would cause such a big trouble for him.
Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Gu for her. Because of her life experience, the Duke of the Country has put in great effort to investigate the causes and consequences. All the reasons and the situation of digging into the bottom line is particularly scary. Even if he did not take such care of the task for His Majesty before.
As a result, after this investigation, the little lady's affairs were not clear yet. It was found that the cause of Princess Changrong's death was a bit unusual.
Fifteen years ago, the princess was injured and had a difficult childbirth, and she gave birth to a daughter with difficulty, but unfortunately died.
The cause of this incident was that outside Bianliang City, on the Jinshui River, the water bandits boarded a ship and robbed it, causing a big mess.
I investigated inside and outside for a long time. The robbers were just a group of refugees. Because of the exploitation of local corrupt officials, they could not stand it and became bandits. Somehow they fled outside the capital. Seeing the princess's cruise ship was very luxurious, she became greedy, and this accident happened.
But there are many things inside that are a little blurry. After reading the file, Zhao Ying always feels a little inconsistent.
Because of this, the young master deliberately checked out the relevant files in the Imperial City Secret Pavilion. He had not found out what happened to the princess, and found something unexpected.
The young master checked the water bandits and found the canal transport heads. After only a few days of promotions and rewards and punishments from the officials of the shipping department over the years, as well as the number of cargo ships running on the canal over the years, as well as the situation of transporting tea, salt, gold and copper, we came to a conclusion.
Some people in the court were doing business with the people of Xixia and Liao, and they did everything, as long as they made money.
Li Sheng didn't understand how the young master in their family came up with those irrelevant information. Anyway, he knew that the young master in their family was not good enough and his brain was very useful. He never missed it every time he guessed it.
Li Sheng couldn't accept his ability.
At the beginning, Li Sheng didn't take it seriously, but the more he investigated, the more he became more and more serious, and even the rebellion of thieves in various places was closely related to these people.
They also have eyeliners in the military, and not just eyeliners.
Of course, let alone his grandson, even Li Sheng, he is not afraid of them.
These mice hidden in the gutter were completely invisible, but the court has not yet done its best to combat the rebellion. There are spies from Xixia coming to disrupt the situation and have made up their plans. Although their Imperial City Department has a great power, they are mostly concentrated in important places in the capital. In places like Shouling, they are not equipped with enough manpower and power.
When the investigation was conducted, I never thought that the matter would be so serious. He and the young master were exposed to each other's gaze from the beginning. Now they are walking through regular channels, and even the important news can't be spread.
Li Sheng: "..."
He really felt that his skin had been taken down by someone and threw it on the ground and stepped on it.
"The Li family sent someone to pick up the third lady into Beijing. This matter has been brewing since earlier. Everyone's mind is on those gossips. The young master followed the third lady's boat, which is much safer than the old lady's boat."
Li Sheng whispered, "The old lady's identity is there. Those people are more alert to her than to us. Moreover, the military ration gap here is still large. If the old lady doesn't take charge, it is afraid that the logistics of the army will be difficult to stabilize."
Zhao Ying nodded seriously.
Li Sheng glanced at him, then looked at him again, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhao Ying frowned: "If you want to say it, just say what you are like."
Li Sheng: "…Forget it."
Zhao Ying stared at him, feeling like a thorn in his throat. After holding it for a while, he couldn't help but raise his foot and step on Li Sheng's instep and crush it hard.
Li Sheng: "..."
Childish ghost!
Instead of worrying that he could not control himself on the road and did something offend the Gu family's little lady, it would be better to worry that he would not dare to say a few more words to the lady along the way and then suffocate himself to death.
The moonlight is already dark at this time.
The fireworks of "Gu Ji" gradually went out.
Gu Xiang came over and opened the door of the dark room, picked up Li Sheng, and then took him out from the private room. After a moment of pondering, he went back to the room to pick up a wine gourd from under the table.
Chapter completed!
