Li Zhi, don't be a coward

When a person reaches a high position, he has a new understanding of the rules of the game.

Although it has not yet reached the point of formulating the rules of the game, it can walk around the edge of the rules.

Ordinary people fear the law like a tiger, because they know that they will be severely punished if they make a mistake, and they cannot bear the consequences, but the superior is different. He has enough power and reliance, and he can be sure that even if the worst result occurs, he can Take it easy and protect yourself.

This is the difference between the two classes. The fairness of the word "rule" is relative, and the word "equal treatment" is more like an ideal slogan.

For example, Li Qinzai decided the life and death of a small country's envoy in a few words. His actions were obviously a crime, but he had the ability to break the law and kill Lu Jiayiduo.

The result he wants is to eliminate disasters for Datang, so there is no need to pay attention to the process.

He doesn't mind using any method that can kill Lu Jiayi, as long as it can achieve the result of killing him, the process is not important, and good and evil are not important.

For the first time in his life, Li Qinzai had the idea of ​​getting rid of a stranger he had never met before.

After entertaining Song Sen for a banquet, the drunken Song Sen bid farewell and left.

Now that Li Qinzai has agreed, Baiqisi will act immediately to find out Lu Jiayiduo's whereabouts as soon as possible.

As for why he agreed to Li Qinzai, of course it wasn't the so-called bad reason of extorting beef.

Song Sen is not an emotionless state machine, he is also a living person with flesh and blood, and he also has his own likes and dislikes and tendencies. In this matter, Song Sen chose to believe in Li Qinzai, and getting rid of Lu Jiayi would be beneficial to Datang. So why not?

…………

In a narrow and damp alleyway in the west city of Chang'an City, there is a family house in the alleyway.

This is considered to be a slum in Chang'an City, no one would have thought that Liu Shenhui would secretly arrange for Lu Jiayi to live here.

After being assassinated that night, Lu Jiayiduo and Liu Shen became alert, and Liu Shen immediately decided to let Lu Jiayiduo move out of the posthouse and live in a hidden place to avoid possible further assassinations.

So Liu Shen arranged Lu Jiayiduo in the West Market of Chang'an City, this dilapidated house in a slum, where even Marquis Wu, who was patrolling the streets, wouldn't bother to come.

Lu Jiayi has lived here for two days, and the more he lives, the more angry he becomes.

He was an envoy of a country, and he was a Brahmin. In the Uda Kingdom, his status was simply higher than that of the lord. Now he came to the Tang Dynasty to congratulate him, but he was assassinated inexplicably, and had to hide in this shabby room that was ventilated everywhere. Feeling like a rat living in the gutter.

As for the reason for the assassination, Lu Jiayi was even more confused.

During these days in Chang'an, he has always been cautious. He didn't even want to offend ordinary traffickers and pawns. He couldn't figure out why he was assassinated for no reason.

Fortunately, he brought two or three masters by his side, the masters were from the Utu Kingdom, who had protected him for many years, thanks to them, Lu Jiayi only escaped death once.

It's mid-winter now, and a pile of charcoal fire was lit in the house, but the cold wind still blows in from the gaps in the roof and walls, making people shiver.

Lu Jiayi had a gloomy face, staring at the only charcoal fire in the room, feeling worse and worse.

Liu Shen sat beside him, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were dark, and he was thinking silently.

After a long time, Lu Jiayi said coldly: "Mr. Liu County, I always thought that the Tang Dynasty was a state of etiquette. Although the Utu Kingdom is small, I am an envoy of a country after all. When I came to Chang'an, I encountered such a situation. disappointed!"

"The Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites arranged for me to meet the emperor of the Tang Kingdom. There has been no movement for more than a month. I was assassinated inexplicably in the posthouse. I have to doubt your Tang Kingdom's sincerity in entertaining guests."

"This place is no longer suitable for me to stay. In two days, when the snow stops, I will set off to return to Wutu Kingdom. Let's take care of each other."

Liu Shen hurriedly said: "Your envoy, wait a minute, everything is a misunderstanding. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not so easy to meet. The arrangement of the Ministry of Rites is reasonable. Envoys from other countries can only wait in the post for a long time. After all, they are attached to the Tang Dynasty. There are so many vassal kingdoms that the Son of Heaven can’t even see him.”

"As for the assassination of your envoy, I already have some clues, and I will definitely give an explanation to your envoy."

Lu Jiayi looked at him more: "Do you know who assassinated me?"

Liu Shen hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "If nothing unexpected, it should be Li Qinzai."

Lu Jiayi's eyes sank: "I know this person. He is a hero of your Tang country. He is still very young and highly regarded by the emperor. You originally planned to introduce me to the emperor of Tang through him. Why did he send me for no reason? Someone assassinate me? I didn't offend him!"

Liu Shen smiled wryly: "I don't know why he wanted to kill you, but most of the people behind the scenes were him. I left his other courtyard that day, and you were assassinated that night. He recommended you, but he also refused, the behavior of this person is really hard to fathom..."

Liu Shen murmured: "Could it be that he doesn't want to heal the prince? That is to say, he has already taken refuge in a certain prince, or...he changed his mind and intends to support King Ying as the heir apparent?"

Only in this way can we explain why he chooses to kill someone who can cure the prince's illness.

Only after the death of the prince did Li Xian have a chance to fight for the reserve.

I can't figure it out, this question is too difficult, too difficult...

Even Liu Shen was beaten to death, but the word "elixir of life" was the reason why Li Qinzai's murderous intent was aroused.

To put it more bluntly, believe in science and reject superstition, all those who promote superstition are bad people, and bad people must become dead people.

After listening to Liu Shen's analysis, Lu Jiayi couldn't help feeling worried.

The person who wanted to kill him was a well-known powerful official in the Tang Dynasty. If he was really determined to kill him, as long as he found his current residence, Lu Jiayi would basically die.

He is in Chang'an, on someone else's territory, Li Qinzai has nine ways to kill him, nine ways!

What's the use of having more experts around you?Can masters stop the army's killing array?A small charge, everyone has Karma.

Thinking of such terrible consequences, Lu Jiayi was really afraid at this time, and planned to leave Chang'an.

"Buddha said, everything is predestined. It seems that the Tang Dynasty has no destiny with me. Since there is no destiny, I can't force it. I'd better leave as soon as possible to avoid disaster..."

Lu Jiayi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that my elixir of immortality was originally intended to be dedicated to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to accumulate a blessing for me in this life. Now it seems that I can only leave with regret."

Liu Shen is in a hurry, Lu Jiayi is the capital for his promotion, if he leaves, what will Liu Shen do?
Still living as a marginal figure, the title of title decreases every generation, and after three or four generations, the Liu family will become ordinary people again, so what can I do?
"Your envoy don't leave, I have a solution!" Liu Shen said urgently: "I can let you see the emperor immediately, as long as your elixir of life is real, the emperor will reward you generously."

"If the emperor thinks highly of you, Li Qinzai will not dare to touch you. On the contrary, you and I can use means to deal with him."

Lu Jiayi said coldly: "Is the elixir of life real? Didn't Marquis Liu see it with his own eyes? Do you still doubt it?"

Liu Shen smiled and said: "Of course I don't doubt it, so after you see the emperor, you must make the emperor not doubt it. If you can make the emperor live forever, the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of years. You and I are all great heroes of the Tang Dynasty. The generals who conquered the city and looted the land are not as good as our credit."
