After arriving in Bingzhou, many things were confusing. Li Qinzai didn't know how deeply the Korean lady was involved, or who else was causing trouble behind the scenes.
He only felt that he was in the light, shining like lice on a monk's head, while those people were hiding in the dark, staring at his every move with cold eyes.
This feeling was very unpleasant. Compared with the hearty sword-for-sword fight on the battlefield when the Japanese were destroyed, he hated this kind of secret battle that was more about scheming than strategy. It not only hurt the brain, but also hurt the body if not careful.
Without knowing the details, Li Qinzai's conversation with the Korean lady was naturally half-truth and half-false. Anyway, if you believe anything he said, you will be fooled. If you don't believe it, you may suffer a loss. Whether you believe it or not depends on your own understanding.
Already.
The Korean lady's beauty turned pale and she stared at Li Qinzai's face for a long time.
Li Qinzai's words touched her guilty conscience and revealed the cruel secret of the palace.
She knew what she had done, and she knew even more how much her sister hated her now. The reason why she left Chang'an in a panic six months ago and hid in her ancestral home in Bingzhou was because she was well aware of her sister's ruthless nature.
In other people's eyes, Empress Wu is a dignified and generous empress, but in her eyes, Empress Wu is a ruthless character who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Once she targets her enemy, she must put him to death before giving up.
What about my biological sister?
If you want to achieve great things, you can also kill your closest relatives.
"You are such a cruel young man, are you really willing to kill your slave family?" Mrs. Korea's eyes turned, her charming style was like an overflowing spring, rippling with waves.
It's just that the style at this moment is full of fear and looks very unnatural.
Li Qinzai blinked and suddenly laughed: "Madam, don't be alarmed. I am just joking. Madam is the sister of the current queen. No one in the world would dare to harm you."
The Korean lady became even more uneasy after hearing this.
What about the current queen’s sister? The person who wants to harm me is the queen!
At the night banquet at the Governor's Mansion, the grain merchants had not yet arrived, but the Korean lady, who originally thought she would stay out of it, was seriously frightened by Li Qinzai.
The pretty face that still retains charm no longer looks as charming as before. The Korean lady stared at Li Qinzai's face in surprise, trying to discern the truth from his face.
However she was disappointed.
The expression on Li Qinzai's face at this moment was like that of a gangster flirting with girls in a bar. It was impossible to figure out which words he said were true and which words were false. Instead, he whetted his appetite and made his heart skip a beat.
Jumping loudly.
After a long time, the Korean lady suddenly smiled, grabbed Li Qinzai's sleeve with one hand, and looked at him pitifully: "Good brother, please tell me something, you scared me."
At this moment, not only the name of the Korean lady has changed, but her expression and tone have also changed. She looks like a resentful young lady who lost her virginity after watching a scumbag finish wiping off his pants.
Li Qinzai looked confused: "What did you reveal?"
"Is there anyone in Chang'an City who wants to kill the slave family?"
She actually knew the answer to this question, but she still wanted to get confirmation from Li Qinzai's mouth.
Li Qinzai was stunned: "Why did Madam say this? I am just the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Your Majesty, not an assassin. Who wants Madam's life? How could I know?"
The Korean lady bit her lower lip with her white teeth, and her eyes were full of joy and anger, which made Li Qinzai's heart beat faster.
No wonder Li Zhi couldn't control his belt. Men's willpower in this area is really too weak. Li Qinzai understood Li Zhi's mood very well at this moment.
He felt like he could no longer control his belt, and a primitive impulse was boiling in his body, wanting her to stick in place...
Secretly biting the tip of his tongue, Li Qinzai quickly regained his composure.
Nima, this aunt is already in her thirties, how could she be so obsessed with it? I got it from reading "Spring and Autumn"!
Even if I don't read the Spring and Autumn Annals, I should be the most infatuated man in history. From the age of eight to eighty, I will always be infatuated with beautiful girls of eighteen.
"What bad things did Madam do in Chang'an City? Why are you so afraid of others killing you?" Li Qinzai asked with a half-smile.
Mrs. Korea's eyes flashed and she said resentfully: "What bad thing can a weak, widowed woman from my family do?"
Li Qinzai suddenly came close to her ear, lowered his voice and smiled: "I don't care what Madam did in Chang'an, but I really want to know what Madam did in Bingzhou. Can you tell me?"
The Korean lady was startled, looking at Li Qinzai's young face unconsciously, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
This young man is definitely not a bastard. He is actually smarter than a monkey. He just doesn't have any hair.
"Good brother, what about the Tao Nu family? The Nu family is innocent in Bingzhou City. Don't wrongly accuse a good person..." Mrs. Han took advantage of the situation and leaned softly against him.
Li Qinzai quickly ducked out of the way, and the Korean lady stumbled and almost fell down.
"If you don't want to say it, Madam, don't force it. The guests have arrived. Madam, please sit down for a moment and then go to greet the guests."
Li Qinzai said a few words and walked out of the front hall proudly, like a ruthless scumbag with a straight face, and even his tone became cold.
The Korean lady stared at his back blankly, biting her lower lip bitterly.
Not long after, a burst of chaotic footsteps slowly came.
More than twenty young or middle-aged grain merchants carefully escorted Li Qinzai into the front hall. Everyone saluted Li Qinzai and the Korean lady, and then watched the two people take their seats before sitting down in the hall.
As soon as he sat down, Li Qinzai ordered the food and wine to be served.
When the steaming dishes were brought to the table, the grain merchants stood up one after another and respectfully toasted to Li Qinzai and the Korean lady.
Li Qinzai refused to accept anyone who came, and drank until the glass was gone. He was particularly heroic tonight.
The Korean lady was obviously in a low mood, her smile was a little forced, and she ignored the toasts of the grain merchants, occasionally raising her glass and taking a sip.
After three drinks and noisy moments, Li Qinzai put down his wine glass, and all the grain merchants also sat upright.
They knew it was time to get to the point.
The new governor of Bingzhou and the local grain merchants are already enemies rather than friends under today's situation, so we can omit the small talk and nonsense about social interactions.
The atmosphere in the hall became inexplicably solemn.
Li Qinzai had just drank a lot of wine, his face was a little rosy, his eyes were narrowed unconsciously, and he looked a bit sinister.
"All of you grain merchants have been doing business here for many years. I am hosting a banquet for you all today. You can be considered familiar with each other." Li Qinzai pointed at himself with a smile and said: "Look at this face clearly. The new governor of Bingzhou, please don't meet me in the future."
If you pretend not to know me, I will be embarrassed."
Everyone laughed a few times in amusement, and the laughter showed that Li Qinzai's joke was really funny.
Li Qinzai added: "In addition, there was a grain merchant named Zhang Cunjin who was punished by me yesterday. Whether I wanted to establish his power or kill him as a warning, you can interpret it however you want. I did it, and I was not afraid of ruining my reputation, because
I don’t care about reputation.”
These words suddenly made the atmosphere tense. The grain merchants looked at each other in confusion, and the smiles on their faces became a little stiff.
Li Qinzai saw everyone's expressions in his eyes and said with a smile: "Yesterday, a common man died fighting on the street. I have to say, it's amazing! He's courageous! I don't know which one of you is the author. If you dare to stand up, I will
I will give him three glasses of wine. I always respect ruthless people."
After a pause of conversation, the front hall fell into deathly silence. Li Qinzai looked around with a smile, and saw that the grain merchants were silent, and their expressions were already a little ugly.
After waiting for a long time, no one dared to stand up and admit it.
Li Qinzai couldn't help but sigh. Rats are rats. They dare not take responsibility for what they dare to do. In previous lives, people rushed to claim responsibility for such a serious incident as a plane crashing into a building. Why did no one dare to admit it in the simple and simple Tang Dynasty?
Mrs. Korea sat on the right side of Li Qinzai, looked around at the grain merchants, and then at Li Qinzai's smiling face and the murderous intent flashing in his eyes. Mrs. Korea sighed quietly.
She knew that today's night banquet was definitely going to be a bad one. It was really a Hongmen banquet.
There may not be an ambush of swordsmen in the corridor, but the decision of who can make it out alive tonight lies entirely in the hands of this young man.
I heard that the emperor valued this son very much. It turned out that he had a great reputation. A talented person who was regarded as a pillar of the country by the emperor did have some abilities.
After a while, Li Qinzai sighed and said: "It seems that no one has admitted it. To be honest, I am very disappointed. A life was given away so easily. Logically speaking, it should be someone who dares to be a hero. Unfortunately,
After all, they are just rats."
With a gloomy smile, Li Qinzai said: "Since no one admits it, I'm not polite. This life will be counted on everyone's head..."
As he spoke, Li Qinzai suddenly straightened up, with murderous intent bursting out undisguisedly in his eyes.
"Ignoring the laws of the imperial court and driving up the price of grain in Bingzhou, the people under my administration are having a hard time. Everyone, please give me an explanation."
