Cai Jing waved his hand and someone came in and took Ximen Qing away.
"Dear guest, please come this way." The attendant lowered his head and extended his hand.
Li Yu's eyes moved. If Ximen Qing is Cai Jing's brother-in-law, then the servants in his house should be called Cousin, not distinguished guests.
With a flick of his eyelids, he already concluded in his mind that Ximen Qing and Cai Jing were not related.
It is more like a transaction between them. It seems that Ximen Qing is still in the active position in the transaction.
Li Yu had a keen eye. People like this usually have a backstage. He didn't know who was behind Ximen Qing.
It is impossible for him to come to trouble him for no reason. He must have provoked the interests of the organization behind him, or the sect, or the family.
Li Yu doesn't want to kill Ximen Qing now, because he is just a pawn. If he kills him, the forces behind him will send more powerful people to harm him.
At that time, you are always in the light, while the opponent is in the dark, with unlimited fire rights, and you can only passively defend.
Now he just wants to use Ximen Qing to find out the forces behind him, and then find a way to eradicate them completely.
Cai Jing smiled and said: "The little Taoist priest came here, why?"
The old smiling face of Cai Jing in front of him made Li Yu feel more friendly. Since they had a deal or collusion with Cai Jing, it would be best to use Cai Jing to find out the power behind Ximen Qing.
Because Cai Jing is very greedy, he can pay a certain price in exchange for any information from his mouth, as long as the price is big enough for Cai Jing to refuse.
"Prime Minister Cai, I got a life-prolonging golden elixir from the Imperial Master. It was just released this morning. I wonder if Prime Minister Cai needs it?"
Cai Jing coughed slightly, his face turned a little rosy, he was obviously moved, but his face remained calm, and he said with a smile: "If Jin Dan is destined to me, I will naturally not refuse."
What an old fox, now he wants to bargain.
Li Yu smiled and said: "In my opinion, this golden elixir has a deep relationship with Prime Minister Cai."
"Oh? Where does it come from?"
You old fox, you are obviously very interested in me, but you are still pretending to be calm with me here. Li Yu cursed in his heart and did not answer. Instead, he said with a smile: "I think the Forbidden Army camp in Dongcheng is in disrepair, which is not conducive to the training of the Forbidden Army. The court needs it
It’s been repaired.”
Cai Jing raised his eyebrows and said: "Forbidden Army Camp? This matter is not easy. It is related to the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty. The Imperial Army is the foundation of the country. We can't do it without a million people."
"If Prime Minister Cai leaves it to me, eighty...oh, no, six hundred thousand strings will be enough!"
Cai Jing stood up and poured a cup of tea for Li Yu with his own hands, "If Taoist Master can accomplish this, he will be doing great good for the country and the people!"
Li Yu picked up the tea cup, blew in the hot air, and said, "If there was no national pillar like Prime Minister Cai, I wouldn't dare to guarantee the vote."
Neither of them said anything about the golden elixir. Li Yu stood up and left. Cai Jing said from behind: "Later, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to go to you and hand over the matter."
"Easy to say!"
After leaving Cai Mansion, Li Yu was in a good mood.
Lin Lingsu was still too honest and sold it directly to Cai Jing for a hundred thousand yuan at most, which would make the old guy feel pain for a while.
Now he is colluding with him to extract one million guan from the imperial court. All he needs is an approval document. Then Cai Jing will take 400,000 guan himself, and Li Yu will take the rest. He doesn’t have to do anything. He will take out 100,000 guan, and countless people in Bianliang will rush to do it.
.
In the end, I made half a million for nothing, and there was no evidence of bribery.
The imperial court of the Song Dynasty was rich, and it would give tens of millions of dollars to foreigners. It was better to benefit ourselves than to benefit outsiders.
Li Yu was in a good mood, and he immediately received hundreds of thousands of dollars into his account. Although he was still a poor beggar compared with Daxiangguo Temple, he was already very content.
When the time comes, I will buy Miss Lu and stay in the Zhengjing Sect as a treasure of the town. Let's see who dares to run wild.
Lu Lingqi is already so powerful, but she doesn't know how charming her father was back then.
Li Yu rode the Zhaoye Jade Lion and walked to the Zhengjing Gate. At the entrance of the New Xiangguo Temple, a fat monk saw him and rushed over as fast as flying.
Li Yu quickly dismounted and wanted to find a place to hide, otherwise he would be hit by this guy and would be disabled or dead.
"Master Lu, we have no grievances or grudges..."
Fortunately, although Lu Zhishen was fat, he was very flexible. He stopped when he got close, grabbed Li Yu's shoulders and said, "Brothers, I have a favor from the Sa family."
Are you asking for help?
Li Yu, who was about to be shaken to pieces, quickly broke away, rubbed his shoulders, and said: "Master is also short of money. It's a trivial matter. Tomorrow I will ask Shi Qian to give you a few hundred strings to spend first."
"Okay, but that's not what the Sa family wants to say."
If this is not the case, what are you doing? You want a few hundred coins. You are really a poor man, greedy and poor at the same time.
Li Yu now thinks that he has joined the ranks of big business owners, and has begun to look down upon these poor people.
Lu Zhishen dragged Li Yu to the foot of a big tree, knelt down and said, "It's a long story. There is a brother in the Sa family who committed some trivial matter in his hometown. You are very familiar with those birds in the imperial court."
, can you tell them about the brother of the Sa family who was pardoned?"
Li Yu glanced at Lu Zhishen alertly and asked, "What trivial matter did you commit?"
"Killed several officers and soldiers."
"Pfft." Li Yu got up and patted his butt, "Master, are you kidding me?"
Lu Zhishen scratched his head and said with a smile: "But it must have been the officers and soldiers who made the first move."
"Why do you do it?"
"That brother from the Sa family and a few sworn brothers are drinking. They must go to suppress the bandits."
Li Yu's eyes darkened, and he felt that he had to leave immediately and stop communicating with this fat monk, otherwise he would easily make him faint.
Lu Zhishen was not really stupid. He was very clever. He deliberately made jokes and explained things clearly to Li Yu, and also wanted to make their charges lighter. When he saw Li Yu turning around to leave, he quickly said: "That brother from the Sa family, his nature
Very good, he is not a bad person who does evil things."
"What's it called?" Li Yu turned around and asked.
You know whether you are a really evil person or not.
"Shi Jin."
Li Yu touched the pamphlet in his arms and thought to himself that if it was Shi Jin, he was not a treacherous person. Generally, people who have a good relationship with Lu Zhishen are really good guys, because he is the kind of person who chooses his friends.
Still quite discerning.
Shi Jin and Lu Zhishen also used justice and wealth, and when they saw injustice on the road, they killed Cui Daocheng, the pig iron Buddha, and Qiu Xiaoyi, the flying yaksha, and saved the woman who was restrained by them.
If he were to be subdued, wouldn't it mean that Shaohua Mountain's divine strategist Zhu Wu, Jumping Stream Tiger Chen Da and White Flower Snake Yang Chun would also be subdued. Buy one and get three free, this deal is not a loss.
Moreover, Zhu Wu, the divine machine strategist, ranks among the top stars of the earth and is the leader of the earth evil spirits, so he is quite capable.
The three of them have not done anything harmful to nature, and they are very loyal. They are relatively decent people in Liangshan.
"If you want to get away with it, it's not that easy, unless..."
"Unless what?" Lu Zhishen asked, stroking his bald head.
"Master, you also got into a life-threatening lawsuit. How did you get out of it?"
"Hey! Didn't the Sa family enter Mount Wutai and become a monk?"
Li Yu said with a smile: "Yes, so if they want to get away with it, they have to join my Zhengjing sect and become Taoist priests. Because now that the national master has overthrown the Daxiangguo Temple, Buddhism has declined and Taoism has prospered, so it is not easy to be a monk."
