At noon the next day, Guo Song came to Pingkangfang again. Although there was a murder in Pingkangfang last night, the people and businesses in Pingkangfang were obviously not affected in any way. They were still noisy and lively, singing and dancing.
Guo Song also made a special trip to Sun's Restaurant. All the blood stains around it were washed away, and even the washing water evaporated, leaving only a slight water stain. Sun's Restaurant continued to operate as usual. The owner was not here, but the shopkeeper supported the restaurant, and the business was still there.
Xinglong was not affected at all.
Guo Song then transferred to Tian Lai Musical Orchestra, which is the most famous music performance institution in Chang'an and has a history of nearly a hundred years. Not only the princes and nobles would invite them to perform in Fuzhong, but even the imperial palace and Tian Lai Musical Orchestra were regular visitors.
For ordinary people who cannot afford to hire a musician, they can also come to the music studio to listen to music. Spending hundreds of dollars to sit in the yard and listen to the famous pipa girl playing for an afternoon is also a pleasing thing.
Guo Song walked into the Tianlai Music Studio from the gate and saw that it was bustling with people. On a high platform in the middle of the courtyard, several women in long skirts were playing the pipa melodiously, and the surrounding area was filled with Chang'an people.
Guo Song has no interest in music, but where should he find Aunt Gongsun?
At this time, he suddenly felt someone knocking him twice on his back. When he turned around, standing behind him was a Le Ji with combed hair and a light green half-sleeved skirt. She was holding a pipa in her arms, as if she was about to
Use your own way here.
Guo Song quickly stepped aside, but Le Ji glared at him, made a sword-like gesture with her fingers, and waved it twice in front of his eyes. Guo Song recognized it immediately. No wonder he felt that this woman looked familiar, wasn't it?
Was it Wang Jianying who came to his house last night?
After changing his attire, he actually didn't recognize him anymore.
Wang Jianying turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard, and Guo Song quickly followed. Entering the inner courtyard, there were young and beautiful Le Ji and many Orchids everywhere, gathering together in twos and threes to chat.
There was no man in sight in the inner courtyard. When the tall Guo Song walked in quickly, countless pairs of wonderful eyes looked at Guo Song. Guo Song's face felt slightly hot and he quickly quickened his pace.
Wang Jianying glanced at Guo Song slightly from the corner of her eyes. She was a little curious. It was incredible that this murderous devil would be shy in front of women!
Arriving all the way to the innermost part of Tianlai Lefang, there is a three-story building, with two female guards with swords standing at the door. Tianlai Lefang, which has always been gentle and gentle, suddenly has a bit of a chilling atmosphere here.
"My master is waiting for you inside!"
After Wang Jianying finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the front yard.
Guo Song hesitated a little, how could he become Li Twelve Niang?
Guo Song thought for a while and walked into the lobby. The lobby was furnished with only a few couches and coffee tables. On both sides of the pillars were long curtains held up by golden hooks.
A middle-aged woman in palace clothes stood in front of the window with her hands folded, staring at a banana tree outside the window. She was Li Man, the head of the Cangjian Pavilion. She was highly regarded by Gongsun Aunt and had been in charge of the Cangjian Pavilion for five years.
.
Guo Song walked into the lobby and stood aside without saying a word. A maid next to him couldn't stand it anymore and had to cover her mouth and cough lightly.
Li Man slowly turned his head and gave Guo Song a cold look, "What a good thing you did last night!"
"What is Senior Sister talking about?"
Li Man gritted his teeth and said, "Don't say you didn't do what happened last night."
Guo Song sat down by himself and said with a faint smile: "I thought you would be grateful to me."
"gratitude?"
Li Man said angrily: "You ruined my plan, how can I be grateful to you?"
"Is it your plan to let them hunt Yang Yu?"
Guo Song sneered: "Do you think they are all fools who can't guess that there is nothing in the golden box? They may not be here for the golden box, they just want to catch Yang Yu and strangle all your surroundings."
"Guo Song, do you really think so?"
Aunt Gongsun's voice came from the stairs, and she was seen walking slowly down the stairs.
Guo Song stood up and saluted, "Hello, Senior Sister!"
"Sit down!"
Aunt Gongsun's voice was very soft and calm, which was in sharp contrast to the angry Li Man next to her.
Guo Song sat down, and Aunt Gongsun said to Li Man: "I told you, if you have anything to say, say it well, don't spit fire like this."
Li Man turned his head away with anger and said angrily: "I can't calm down, and all my months of hard work have been ruined by him."
Aunt Gongsun still said softly: "Actually, Guo Song is right. Our golden box plan is not comprehensive and cannot withstand scrutiny. It is impossible for Cheng Zhenyuan to fight Yu Chaoen over this matter."
"Master, I have received definite news that Li Liangshan has led thirty elite warriors to prepare for a night attack on the Hunting Deer Villa. However, something happened in Pingkangfang, and Cheng Zhenyuan temporarily canceled the operation."
Aunt Gongsun explained to Guo Song: "Li Liangshan is the chief warrior of Tianqing Tower and a confidant of Cheng Zhenyuan. It took a lot of effort from Zangjian Pavilion to make Cheng Zhenyuan believe that Yu Chaoen had actually captured Yang Yu and obtained the gold box. At present,
Hidden in Lielu Villa, as long as Li Liangshan attacks Lielu Villa, the war between Yu Chaoen and Cheng Zhenyuan will take shape."
Guo Song was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Sister, have you written down the name of the store I asked the emperor for?"
"you--"
Next to her, Li Man's face was red with anger. At this time, he actually wanted to ask for the name of the store. He didn't know the importance or the good. She was so angry that she turned around and walked to the window, staring viciously at the banana tree outside the window.
Aunt Gongsun was also a little stunned, but she still nodded, "I've written it for you and I've brought it with me!"
She turned around and waved, and a maid came forward with a plate. On the plate was a scroll and a sword.
Aunt Gongsun handed the scroll to Guo Song, "See for yourself."
Guo Song slowly unfolded the scroll. Inside, there were two big Chinese characters of the shop name: "Shou Mei" written with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air. Li Yu's personal seal was also stamped in the lower right corner.
Guo Song nodded with great satisfaction and asked: "Sister, when did the emperor write this?"
"This morning, I reported to him what happened last night, and he wrote this."
"What's your attitude towards what happened last night?"
"The Holy One didn't say anything, so he just wrote these two words for you."
Guo Song laughed and said, "Actually, the Emperor has already expressed his stance. Didn't Senior Sister realize it?"
Guo Song woke up Aunt Gongsun all of a sudden, and Li Man's body next to her also trembled slightly.
Aunt Gongsun asked quickly: "You mean, the Holy Spirit wrote this to you because of his attitude?"
Guo Song nodded slowly, "I think the Emperor should approve of my behavior last night. It can be seen from the words. It was written vividly and smoothly, and it was done in one go. If he was dissatisfied, he would not be able to write such a happy feeling, or in other words
momentum."
Aunt Gongsun's eyes were full of appreciation. No wonder the Holy One admired her nephew so much. The Holy One was very accurate in judging people!
At this time, Li Man couldn't help but said: "It ruined my plan, but it's still a good thing?"
"Twelve mothers!"
Aunt Gongsun raised her voice in dissatisfaction, and Li Man had no choice but to remain silent.
"Nephew, tell me, what's wrong with Twelve Niang's plan?" Aunt Gongsun asked, looking at Guo Song.
Guo Song shook his head, "I told you not to ask about the Hidden Sword Pavilion."
Aunt Gongsun was immediately angry and funny, "You kid, you're being pretentious, tell me now!"
"Sister, I think Hidden Sword Pavilion's plan is in the right direction, provoking a fight between the two factions, but the structure is too low. Even if both sides kill all the samurai, what impact will it have on the overall situation?"
Aunt Gongsun nodded, "What you say makes sense, keep talking."
"The emperor actually wants them to fight for the succession to the throne. This is the overall situation. To put it bluntly, Cangjian Pavilion makes things too complicated and passive. He is obviously a chess player, but he treats himself as a pawn, just like Zang Jiange.
It’s like Jiange is also involved in the fight for the rightful son.”
Aunt Gongsun smiled slightly and said, "In your opinion, what should we do?"
"It's very simple. My aunt went to see King Lu and told him that the emperor is very concerned about his study status, his health, etc. I guarantee that Yu Chaoen will definitely jump eighteen feet high and try his best to find out King Lu's crimes.
Similarly, Cheng Zhenyuan will destroy King Zheng's reputation everywhere, and their conflicts will intensify. I believe that Li Fuguo will not stand idly by and will definitely fan the flames of the two factions."
After a long silence, Li Man said: "Doesn't the Hidden Sword Pavilion have no meaning for its existence?"
Guo Song said coldly: "Zangjianlou is a chess player. What he has to do is to formulate rules and maintain the rules. For example, both sides can fight, but they must not hurt innocent people, and so on!"
At this time, Aunt Gongsun sighed and said: "I understand, what you did last night was to warn Yu Chaoen not to be an enemy of the Cangjian Tower and not to go against the emperor!"
Guo Song nodded, "I believe the emperor also understands my intention."
Aunt Gongsun pondered for a moment and said to Li Man: "Twelve Mother, please step aside first."
Li Man bowed, stood up and left.
Aunt Gongsun waved her hand and asked the maids outside the door to leave.
Aunt Gongsun then looked at Guo Song and said: "The first task assigned to you by the Holy Emperor is to assassinate Li Fuguo."
