I just like the Prime Minister

His Majesty the Emperor disguised himself as one of the shadow guards, and followed them without showing any signs of the mountains or dewy water. The imperial envoy, Prime Minister Jiang, flaunted his might and headed straight to the official office of the Fan Mansion in Yecheng.

Qian Yong, the prefect of Linzhang, was a Wu Jinshi in the 18th year of the first emperor. Li Chengzuo took a look at him and immediately found out why he had been an official for so many years, and now he was still in the fiefdom of the king of Qi as a "chief officer" of a county. ".

It's not easy to be an official in a feudal lord's fiefdom, no matter how big an official is, there is a prince above him, although he has no right to interfere in the military affairs, but if he really sticks his neck and refuses to interfere, he promises to kill you Unknowingly.

Qian Yong's appearance is not outstanding, but his body is fertile. Li Chengzuo feels that compared with him, Taoist Zixu can transform himself into a handsome man.What's more, he obviously took the imperial salary and planned to wear a pair of trousers with the King of Qi. His previous expression was flattering, and his subsequent expression was obviously perfunctory.

When Li Chengzuo thought that he wanted some armaments and the household department came to cry poorly, but every year he had to spend a lot of money on the salary of this kind of wine bag and rice bag, he immediately got evil from his heart, and asked them to be safe and calm for the third time in this waste snack, but No matter how you say it, when he refused to hand over the military and political power of the fief honestly, Li Chengzuo took out a long sword from nowhere, and immediately let the waste's head fall to the ground.

Although the tyrant is not very easy to do, it is not difficult to find a root Shangfang sword for his prime minister. Even if there is no ready-made one, it is still in time to touch whichever one is.

Fortunately, when he cut off the head, he still knew to block Jiang Xizhu and face the scene, so that the prime minister was not splashed with blood by His Majesty the Emperor.

The imperial envoys have always been cautious when traveling, and no imperial envoy has ever been as ostentatious as them, and even dared to kill people on other people's territory.

However, Jiang Xizhu's situation is different from other imperial envoys.

They have no capital in their hands and can only bluff.

Bluffing is also knowledgeable. Those who come up to fight with knives are either fools or fools. Before they can achieve their goals, they are shot into hedgehogs by random arrows. It may be even worse to expose their identities rashly——Isn’t that what King Qi thought before? For such a master, let's kill invisible, no matter if it is an imperial envoy or a real mother, they will have to go around.

The correct way to bluff is-there is no threat before, and the pace of King Qi's return will be delayed; there will be reinforcements later, and Jizhou soldiers and horses will be dispatched directly to help.

After thinking about this, Jiang Xizhu came prepared, no matter what, he would drag King Qi into the water.

Yeluzhen's special status can just cooperate with Jiang Xizhu to complete this "anti-customer-oriented" game.

He is the so-called "traitor" of the "choir" and one of the most powerful forces of the Khitan royal family.

Taoist Master Zixu got him out of the "choir", and he was lost in that mansion. Now the "choir" and that person will definitely set up a net to find him. If King Qi finds his trace without telling him "choir", then the relationship between them must be in jeopardy.

As for Yeluzhen's identity as the second prince of the Khitan, no matter whether King Qi wants to participate in the Khitan royal family's struggle or not, or if he has already intervened in the Khitan royal family's struggle, then the charge of adultery with the Khitan can no longer be escaped.

This is a dilemma for Qi Wang. If the whereabouts of Yeluzhen are exposed, then an inevitable problem is that whether it is the "choir" or that person, their sight will be blind. It is inevitable to gather in Yecheng, and Li Chengzuo's presence here will naturally not be concealed, and King Qi's calculations will inevitably come to nothing.

As for how to reveal Yeluzhen's whereabouts to King Qi?There is nothing more intuitive than Yeluzhen standing directly in front of King Qi - that's how the "Pepper Fairy" who hijacked King Qi outside the city came here. According to Jiang Xizhu's instructions, Daoist Zixu and Xu Sanniang pretended to be "pepper fairies" respectively. Noisy peasant woman" and "dumb peasant", together with Yeluzhen approached King Qi in such a festive way, and they succeeded in one fell swoop.

It seems like a good idea if King Qi chooses not to disclose Yeluzhen's whereabouts, but what Jiang Xizhu means is that since King Qi will make such a plan, then it is up to him to cut off Queen Qi's path—he has regained Li Chengzuo's imperial gift in a grandiose manner. His status as an "imperial envoy" appeared majestically in Yecheng and advertised it widely.

——It was at this time.

Li Chengzuo had just chopped someone down, and the vigor of the place clearly frightened the Yecheng officials who had their own ulterior motives. The kneeling people trembled like passing through a grain sieve, very uniform.

It was rare for Jiang Xizhu to see the emperor murder so cruelly. Fortunately, he was acquainted with him once, so he reluctantly sat down in the high hall with a calm air, and Li Chengzuo also stood behind him in style.

Jiang Xizhu stood condescending, swept the officials who were shaking like chaff one by one, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I was ordered by the emperor to inspect the government affairs in the four regions. I met a Khitan man on the way. After I traced it, it was Yeluzhen, the second prince of Khitan. I sent people to track it down and found that this person is now in Yecheng." He paused , "If you know his whereabouts and don't report them, you will be punished as collaborating with the enemy. I hope you will think carefully."

The officials of the feudal mansion who knelt down were originally the masters who were pulled by Qian Yong to accompany the "imperial envoy" to have a good time. They thought that "Hello, I, Hello, everyone" fooled the matter until King Qi returned, so they could go to find their own happiness Just for fun, but I didn't expect the imperial envoy to be so difficult to fool, and the situation took such a turn for the worse. What's worse, they had never heard of what the imperial envoy said, so one or two showed a terrified look on their faces, and they all looked at each other .

Behind Jiang Xizhu, Li Chengzuo winked at the shadow guards standing silently in the hall. Those shadow guards understood and stood behind the kneeling disorderly officials.

Li Chengzuo stood in the hall, with a blank expression on his face, and said: "Let me change the way of asking for your lord. Your lord wants to know what is unusual in Yecheng. Everyone, think about it carefully. Whoever's concubine gave birth to a big fat boy is not necessary. Reported, everyone understands what I'm talking about."

His tone was very similar to that of a storyteller in a teahouse, but at this moment all the officials were afraid that they would laugh their heads off and fell silent.

"Pretend to be stupid and go straight into the dungeon." Li Chengzuo added, looking around, pointed at the person kneeling in front, "It starts with you."

That official was obviously ignorant, and when he was named, he started crying: "Oh, Mr. Qingtian, oh no, Mr. Imperial Envoy, there are senior officials and juniors..."

Li Chengzuo: "Drag on."

The shadow guards behind him have been killing and stealing money for the emperor for many years, and they are very skilled in their methods. However, they usually deal with thugs with some martial arts skills, and have never dealt with poor scholars like officials of the mansion, so the way of dealing with them is really rough—— I fainted with a palm strike.

The poor official kneeling next to this person heard a "click", thinking that this person's neck was broken, and his face turned pale with fright.

Li Chengzuo had no sympathy, and the imperial hand hand-picked and said: "The one with the white face... that's right, you, tsk... You don't need pastels to pretend to be Cao Cao, you say."

The man heard Li Chengzuo's voice as if he had heard Bai Wuchang's ecstasy, he knelt down and begged for mercy, his voice was very useless with a crying tone: "I don't know, I don't know!"

But he was still very clever, and immediately realized that crying and howling would not work, he raised his head tremblingly determined in his heart: "My lord, why don't you go and ask Prince Qi's subordinates 'Eight Great King Kongs'?"

"An official can't even take care of the affairs under his tenure. What use are you for?" Li Chengzuo waved his hand, seeing the shadow guard knocked out this one, tied it up and threw it out, and turned his attention to the next one, "You, yes ,now you."

The official Li Chengzuo pointed out was the closest to Qian Yong's dead body, half of his legs were still soaked in blood, and he could look affectionately at Qian Yong's corpse with one side of his head... Oh no, Qian Yong can't "look" this time He's gone, and she can only accept his tenderness and affection unilaterally.

The official didn't know whether he was crazy or not, but he was in a trance. After he finished speaking, he realized what he had said in such a fatal situation, and immediately felt that his life was not long.

"You said just now that since King Qi arrived in Yecheng, he will receive a group of Jiang Hu people on a fixed day every month?" Jiang Xizhu frowned on the high hall, "Is this true?"

The man's lips trembled and his neck was bent: "Yes."

Jiang Xizhu and Li Chengzuo looked at each other and understood the meaning conveyed by each other.

Jiang Xizhu leaned forward halfway: "What time of the month?"

The official hesitated for a moment, as if he was thinking about it, but his mind became more and more dazed, and after thinking about it, he even started giggling in class—he went crazy on the spot.

With a wave of his hand, Li Chengzuo ordered people to drag the lunatic out. Before the roll call, another official half-soaked in blood crawled forward and rushed forward to answer: "My lord, what Mr. Zhang said just now, the next official is also I know that there are two groups of people from the rivers and lakes that the prince receives, one group comes at the beginning of the month and leaves the next day; the other group is not as regular as this group, but it comes about every three to four months Wait for ten days and a half months before leaving."

With this one talking, the trash in the hall seemed to be suddenly enlightened. They were afraid that if he finished this matter by himself, he would also end up with the fate of being knocked unconscious and thrown into the dungeon like the previous few people. They climbed up and chattered in a hurry, but they were finally overtaken by the one with the loudest voice.

"My lord!" the man scratched his neck and shouted from the hall, "Your official knows about this! Although the number of times these people come is different, they have one thing in common - two groups of people will arrive on the day of the summer solstice every year. It’s like this every year, and it’s absolutely true.”

Jiang Xizhu and Li Chengzuo frowned when they heard the words.

The summer solstice, ten days later is the summer solstice.
