Zhang Chun'er seemed to have expected Li Qi's expression. He took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "Does the Privy Council think this news is of sufficient value?"
Oops, she got the upper hand. This is no good. I don't like to be passive! Li Qi was startled, put the tea cup away, and shouted from behind: "Shopkeeper, please wipe this place."
"yes."
The shopkeeper quickly came over with a rag and wiped the table clean.
After the shopkeeper left, Li Qicai smiled and said, "Wang Fu? Madam Zhang, couldn't you have seen it wrong?"
Zhang Chun'er said: "The man was walking in a hurry at that time, and I just glanced at him briefly. If it were someone else, I might have misjudged him, but it is difficult to admit Wang Fu's words. Privy Councilors should not forget that Wang Fu has the same relationship with ordinary Han people.
Very obvious difference.”
Li Qidao: "How could I forget that he is a golden retriever?"
Zhang Chun'er smiled and said: "Exactly."
"But many people from the Western Regions have golden retrievers. This alone is not enough to prove that that person is Wang Fu. Could it be that you are mistaken."
"That's true, but I definitely saw that it was Wang Fu, both in body shape and appearance."
Impossible, how is this possible? Wang Fu has been killed by a drunkard a long time ago, and even his head was brought with him. How could he appear here? What is going on? Li Qi thought, turning the teacup in his hand.
After a moment, he added: "Even if it is Wang Fu, so what? Wang Fu is just a waste. Whether he exists or not, he does not pose any threat to me."
Zhang Chuner smiled and said: "Yes, Wang Fu does not pose any threat to the Privy Council, but what about Qin Hui?"
The corners of Li Qi's eyebrows trembled slightly.
Zhang Chun'er said again: "Privy envoys, please don't forget that I met Wang Fu at Qin Shaozai's house."
Li Qi suddenly laughed and said: "Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that your news is indeed of some value."
Zhang Chun'er said: "But I only know so much. If there were more, I'm afraid all I can think of is the formula for glass."
Li Qi's eyes were slightly disappointed and he said: "If that's the case, I can't give you an accurate answer yet as to whether this news is worth the price. I still have to check."
Zhang Chuner smiled and said: "This is natural."
Li Qi suddenly said: "Ms. Zhang, there is one thing I am very curious about. Just tell me this. If I don't admit it, you will suffer a huge loss."
Zhang Chun'er said with a smile: "You are the privy envoy, I am just a businessman, don't talk about this, if you want to default on anything. I have no choice, even if I sign the contract, not only me, but all the businessmen in the world are like this. If everyone
If they all have this kind of mentality, then who will cooperate with the Privy Councilor in doing business? Privy Councilor, don’t you think so?"
"That makes sense."
Li Qi smiled and nodded, saying: "This is what I admire most about Madam Zhang. She is very decisive in everything she does. She never makes any detours."
Zhang Chun'er smiled slightly and said: "The Privy Councilor has given me the award. I just think it's better to be more direct when discussing business with the Privy Councilor. After all, the Privy Councilor is very smart, and there are some things that you can't hide even if you want to. Since you can't hide them, why not speak out quickly?
, and you can also gain a little trust.”
Li Qi laughed and said, "Ms. Zhang is really good at talking."
"Where, where." Zhang Chun'er said: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to your mansion to congratulate you. If there is nothing else, Zhang Chun'er will leave first."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."
"Farewell."
"Wait!"
Li Qi suddenly stopped Zhang Chun'er and said, "Do you betray Qin Hui?"
Zhang Chuner shook his head and said: "I am a businessman. There are no enemies in the eyes of businessmen. There are only interests. This is what you said."
Li Qi chuckled: "I also said that I like to cooperate with businessmen."
"Me too. Farewell."
After Zhang Chun'er left, Li Qi suddenly frowned and thought to herself, Wang Fu was already dead, but she said she saw Wang Fu, so she must have mistakenly admitted the wrong person, but why did she insist that the person was Wang Fu? Yes,
, with the characteristics of Wang Fu's appearance, it is indeed very easy to recognize, but the problem is that Wang Fu is indeed dead. Could it be that she was wrong? Impossible, impossible. This is too coincidental. A person who looks like Wang Fu is
Fu's people suddenly appeared in Qin Hui's house. There must be something fishy here.
But thoughts come and go, but there is no clue at all.
In fact, even if Wang Fu was still alive, he would not pose any threat to Li Qi. But the problem was that Qin Hui was involved, so Li Qi had to think carefully. Just when he was at a loss what to do, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of someone who was against him.
Ah, how come I forgot about him. I got up and left in a hurry.
.......
Taishi Mansion.
Nowadays, Cai Jing rarely goes out and rarely sees guests. He spends all his time at home playing with his grandchildren and great-grandsons. Nowadays, there are only a few people in front of the Grand Master's residence.
"Sir, the Privy Council is here."
Cai Yong walked into the house and said to Cai Jing, who was listening to his grandchildren reading poems and books.
"Why is he here?"
Cai Jing asked curiously: "Didn't you say that Xiaoliuzi, Xiaoyu and Maqiao got married today?"
"I'm curious too."
"Did something happen?"
Cai Jing muttered, waved his hand and said, "Take him to the back hall to wait for me."
"yes."
.......
Li Qi waited in the back hall for a while, and Cai Jing walked in with the support of Cai Yong. He hurriedly walked over to help Cai Jing, and said with a smile: "Li Qi took the liberty to visit, so he didn't disturb the grand master's enjoyment of his family."
Cai Jing said hoarsely: "I'm very happy that you can come, so there's no need to disturb me. But today I heard that your favorite disciple got married. Why are you here?"
Li Qidao: "Oh, Aunt Chen, aren't Uncle Wu and the others also there? They are all only children. If I were there, they would be much less happy. So I went out for a walk, and after thinking about it, I came to your place."
"That's true."
Cai Jing sat down, stretched his hands to the side, and said, "You can sit down too."
Seeing that his movements seemed slower than before, Li Qi asked with concern: "Master, are you feeling well recently?"
Cai Jing waved his hands and sighed: "Every day is getting worse, and it is faster than I thought. But I have lived for so many years, and I am very grateful to God."
Li Qi sighed in his heart and realized that life is really too short.
Cai Jing asked: "How are you lately?"
Li Qidao: "My body is fine ---." He hesitated for a moment.
Cai Jing frowned and said, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"
Forget it. At his age, don't bother him. Let him spend the few days he has left peacefully. Li Qi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that Grand Master, you just
Asking this reminds me of a dream I had last night."
"Dream? What dream?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "It's funny to say that I actually dreamed of someone yesterday."
"who?"
"Wang Fu."
"Wang Fu?"
Cai Jing was indeed a little surprised and said: "Why did you dream about him?"
Li Qidao: "I don't know either, so I think it's funny too."
Cai Jingdao: "Then what did you dream about him doing?"
Li Qidao: "I can't remember the details. I just dreamed that he returned to the capital."
Cai Jing laughed and said: "Li Qi, if Wang Fu is still alive in this world, then you really need to reflect on it, but I believe that you will not make such a stupid mistake."
Li Qi chuckled: "I'm just afraid that his ghost will come to me."
The implication is that even if Wang Fu comes, he will be just a ghost, and it is impossible for a human being to come.
Cai Jing chuckled: "I didn't expect you to be afraid of this."
Li Qi sighed and said: "Grand Master, I feel that the bigger the official becomes, the more timid the person becomes. Do you think this is strange?"
"This is not surprising at all, I am the same way."
Cai Jingdao: "This person, the more he has, the more he is afraid of losing it. When he is afraid, he is afraid of everything. You are already pretty good, much better than I was then."
"Really? I thought I was the only one like this."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid, I was just scared at the time. This Wang Fu looks like a man from the Western Regions. He has golden hair and green eyes, and his life is not bad. If he suddenly appeared in a dream, it would be true.
It’s a bit scary. Master, is this Wang Fu from the Western Regions?”
Cai Jing shook his head and said, "I don't know too much about this. In fact, it's not surprising. When Wuhu messed with China, there were many people like Wang Fu."
"Yes, why did I forget this." Li Qi chuckled and hummed: "But it's really strange that a person with foreign blood like Wang Fu can also become the prime minister. As promised,
If someone is not from my race, his mentality must be different. I really don’t know who promoted him to this position."
Cai Jing frowned and said, "The guy you are talking about is me."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi opened his eyes, looking extremely surprised.
Cai Jing snorted and said, "Why are you lying to me, I? You have dealt with Wang Fu a lot, and you know that Wang Fu is not a loser. At that time, he found out in advance that the Supreme Emperor would reuse me, so he went to court
He flattered me wantonly and recommended me highly. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was very grateful to him. Later, when I became prime minister, I promoted him. It wasn’t until later that I realized that this guy was an ungrateful guy, but it was already too late.
In the evening, he was already deeply favored by the emperor. I wanted to demote him several times, but he quickly resolved it. Otherwise, why did I always say that the biggest defeat I had ever fought in my life was at the hands of Wang Fu?
."
"So that's it."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I always thought that Wang Fu must have relied on his father or his uncle to climb up."
"His father is just a scholar and has become a minor official. He is not even qualified to promote people."
At this point, Cai Jing was suddenly startled and said, "No, it's impossible that you haven't investigated Wang Fu's family background."
You old guy, do you need to react so quickly? Are you pretending to be in a state of collapse? A flash of panic flashed in Li Qi's eyes and said: "I would like to investigate, but I haven't started yet.
From the investigation, we already know that Wang Fu’s parents have passed away a long time ago. He is also an only son. He doesn’t even have a cousin. Wang Xuanen is just a son. There is nothing to investigate. Otherwise, it will be the whole family that time. "
"That's true."
Cai Jing nodded and suddenly said: "But it's not like he doesn't even have a brother."
Cousin? Li Qi frowned and said, "Oh? I've never heard of this."
Cai Jing chuckled: "Actually, he has a cousin. It is said that he is the son of his uncle. The two look very similar, but his cousin is far inferior to Wang Fu. He just idles around and causes trouble all day long. And Wang Fu was
Zheng Mou worked hard to climb up. He was worried that this cousin would harm him, so he took this cousin away. However, later Wang Fu became the Dazai and did not let his cousin come back. It is said that he was beaten to death for causing trouble outside.
Well, I see that this rumor is not false, I have also met his cousin once or twice, and I can tell at a glance that he is a vicious and hard-to-eliminate businessman."
Li Qi said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect Wang Fu to have a cousin."
Cai Jing snorted and said, "What? You're not afraid that his cousin will take revenge on you, are you? Haha, don't say that his cousin might be dead. Even if he's not dead, it's not a big deal. You can just move your fingers.
You can play him to death, and even using the word "eliminate the roots" on him is a waste."
Li Qi smiled and said: "The grand master is joking. Even if Wang Fu is still alive, I am not afraid at all, let alone his cousin. I just feel a little surprised." Even so, there was still a twinkle in his eyes.
The light of worry.
