Chapter 1420 Digging a Pit
Fang Linyan counted 1, 2, 3, 4 silently in his heart, until he reached 8, he realized that he had regained the ability to speak. This should have set a limit for himself. Way to say some key words.

"Do you think this can restrict me?" Fang Linyan sneered in his heart.

His perception is several times that of ordinary people, and he has heard several slight breathing sounds in this study room, except for Lao Zhongtang, but they are better concealed.

But this is also normal, for a person like Lao Zhongtang, seeing a stranger like himself, it is impossible for him to be alone.

If there is any change in oneself, there is no need to throw the cup as a sign, someone will jump out and cut him up.

As the saying goes, doing a full set of plays, Fang Linyan seemed to be the only one in the study at this time, so he frowned and squatted down to look at the broken teacup on the ground, then dipped his finger in the tea, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. After smelling it, I went to look at the sputum that Li Gongzhang had coughed up before.

When doing these movements, Fang Linyan can be said to be quite careful, and the movements are also very slow, and his face is also very dignified.

Then Fang Linyan sighed, shook his head, turned around and walked away, and his steps were extremely fast, as if he was trying to avoid something on purpose.

Although this trick of playing hard to get is an old routine, it can be said to be just right when used in this situation.

Obviously, his behavior must be reported immediately by the hidden guards in the study, because they simply cannot bear this responsibility.

Sure enough, after Fang Linyan turned around and went out, before reaching the second gate, he heard a series of footsteps behind him, and then a few servants chased him out, and said out of breath:
"Stop. Young master, please stay!!"

Fang Linyan just pretended not to know, but the pace under his feet became faster and faster, so that these servants really took out the energy of breastfeeding and rushed to the road, finally stopped Fang Linyan, and put him back again Please go back and say that the uncle wants to see him.

The "uncle" in the old Zhongtang mansion is of course Li Gongzhang's eldest son, Li Jingshu. After the guests and hosts were seated, Li Jingshu said impatiently without even waiting for tea:
"This time my father was able to turn the corner, thanks to Brother Hu's help."

At this time, the capital was influenced by Manchu culture, and many names were different from modern times.

For example, at this time, the emperor's honorific name is Cixi's father, Xianggong/rabbit means the little shou among gays, and "big brother" means a title similar to sir, brother, etc.

Of course, the "Miss" at this time is the real Miss, not the poor teenage girl trying to work-study with her food-chewing parts.
Fang Linyan waved his hands repeatedly and said:

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it, this is the auspicious person of the old Zhongtang, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Jingshu is originally the appearance of a man, if you want to evaluate him:
High emotional intelligence: loyal and honest.

Low emotional intelligence: the dog of the household.

So after hearing Fang Linyan's words, he smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother Hu, stop joking. To tell you the truth, at that time, my father was said by foreign doctors to be terminally ill, the kind that the imperial doctor dared not even prescribe medicine, but after having a dream, he was able to move and talk! "

"At that time, my father stood up straight away, saying that he wanted to eat duck oil biscuits!! We thought this was a flashback, and we didn't care whether the old man's stomach could be restrained, it was just the last meal, no matter what I got the wish of the old man, and after eating the pancakes, I got two bowls of pumpkin porridge, and I can go to the ground the next day!"

"It doesn't make any sense to describe such a variable situation as auspicious people and heaven! I really dare not hide it from Brother Hu. My father is still a little weak now, so I was preparing to serve in the back before. If Brother Hu didn't know the key to this It makes sense, but no matter what, it is unexpected that the Japanese used the technique of Nightmare Town."

Li Gongzhang is from Hefei, and duck oil biscuits are a local specialty snack in Hefei. He eats them since he was a kid, so he eats them as soon as he wakes up.

And hearing what Li Jingshu said, Fang Linyan also said:

"The old Zhongtang is now governed by the luck of the world, so it is only natural for the Japanese to do whatever they can to jump over the wall."

Speaking of this, Fang Linyan suddenly said:
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something interesting. Did you find the picture of saving your mother that was stolen from your mansion?"

Li Jingshu said in astonishment:

"What is the picture of Mulian saving his mother?" (Please refer to the previous article here.)
Fang Linyan was stunned, and then said with an oh:

"When I was in the south, I heard that a very important picture of saving my mother was stolen in your mansion. It is something that the old lady attaches great importance to. It seems to be a rumor."

Li Jingshu shook his head and said:
"Nothing."

Fang Linyan nodded slightly, then thoughtful.

Seeing Fang Linyan rambling at this time, but not getting to the point, Li Jingshu is also an honest person, so he could only take the initiative to say:
"After my father left, Brother Hu repeatedly observed my father's cup of tea in the study, and then went to see the sputum coughed up by the old man for a long time. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Fang Linyan said in his heart, I have been playing tricks for so long, you finally took the bait!But on the surface, he waved his hands again and again, directly launching a three-strike combo of negation:
"I am not, I am not, don't talk nonsense"

But the more Fang Linyan denies it now, the more flustered Li Jingshu is!At this time, the honor, disgrace, and wealth of the Li family were concentrated on Lao Li alone. In one day, Li Jingshu was truly the son of a famous family who was praised by everyone as the largest yamen in the capital.

As soon as Lao Li dies, the tea is served immediately, who the hell knows who you are?Not only that, but the enemies that Lao Li formed back then are about to be liquidated slowly.

Compared with his father, Li Jingshu is completely a housekeeper dog, so Fang Linyan really took care of him. After repeated pleas, Fang Linyan frowned and said:
"The catastrophe of Mr. Lao Zhongtang is actually over, but there is still a little work to finish."

When Li Jingshu heard it, he immediately showed an expression of "I knew it was like this", and hurriedly said anxiously:

"I'm about to ask for advice!"

Fang Linyan said:

"Lao Zhongtang is an extremely personable minister, and his reputation spreads far and wide. Even foreigners in England and France will give a thumbs up and praise the Oriental Bismarck. I am saying something disrespectful. What is Lao Zhongtang's fate compared to?" Princes and the like are much more honorable."

Li Jingshu coughed. Although this question is too sensitive for him to say more, his eyes clearly hinted that what you said is right. If you say a few more words, I will bookmark the subscription monthly ticket and reward four consecutive times.

So Fang Linyan continued:
"For a big man like Lao Zhongtang who is sure to be famous in history, it is impossible to succeed in the nightmare town technique, and the caster will be directly condemned by the gods! It must be planned several years in advance. From the right time, the right place, The internal response, even the accommodation structure and other aspects must be extremely comprehensive before it can be activated!"

"It was only Japan who used the power of the whole country to plan in advance and set up this killing scheme of the nail-headed Seven Arrows Book, and Lao Zhongtang's side didn't notice it for a while, so they fell into the enemy's trap."

"Although the culprit has been killed now, there is still a hand in the murder. I dare to ask, does Lao Zhongtang urinate a lot at night, his yang energy is weak, and he has difficulty urinating? Is he coughing all the year round and losing his appetite? "

When Fang Linyan asked a question, Li Jingshu nodded, but he didn't know that he had fallen into Fang Linyan's tricks!

Cough, old man Li is almost 70 years old at this time, he has been extremely rich for almost 30 years, and there must be many women around him, so he must not be able to run away with hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the prostate. Having trouble peeing?
As for the perennial cough and loss of appetite, let alone, the old man was about to cough and vomit just now, and besides recovering from a serious illness, how could his appetite improve?
Of course, Fang Linyan's words were based on the fact that he had indeed saved someone before, so try another person?It is estimated that those who have tried it have been kicked out.

Hearing Fang Linyan's nonsense, Li Jingshu immediately slapped his thigh and said:

"That's right! That's right, no wonder my little concubine said that she heard strange noises outside the window last night! I'm about to ask Brother Hu for advice, so I've got rid of this hidden danger!"

Fang Linyan waved his hands and said:
"For these trivial matters, just invite a Taoist priest or monk to come here. It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"The trick set up by the Japanese is so ingenious that even the person who was used didn't know about it! Master Zhongtang is already an extremely human minister at this time, and he has his own dragon and tiger spirit to protect his body."

"If they don't find a way to vent the spirit of the dragon and the tiger, their conspiracy will not succeed! The way to lure the spirit of the dragon is to sacrifice the younger brother of the Emperor of Japan, Prince Xiaonengin, and lure him with his blood!"

"The way to remove the tiger's power is to choose two generals of the Huai army who belong to the rabbit, and quietly support them to the top, so that Lao Zhongtian can often meet with them, and at the same time set up formations in the place where they live, and put them in the diet. Secret medicine."

"In this way, the tiger fighting the rabbit is not only a hobby, but also for hunting. Over the years, Lao Zhongtang's tiger power has also been worn down by more than half."

As soon as Fang Linyan's words came out, Li Jingshu opened his mouth wide, thinking it was unbelievable, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it made sense, so he couldn't help asking:

"How should we deal with that?"

Fang Linyan said:

"The general who was used did not have any malicious intentions, but was used by the Japanese, so there is no need to do anything, just transfer him away so that he cannot meet with Master Zhongtang."

"Next, you can invite them to sit in the house, and then remember that three paintings must be hung in the hall to receive them. The contents of the paintings must contain elements such as mountains, dense forests, pigs, and sheep. On the painting in the main hall, there must be a descending tiger!"

"In this way, the tiger prestige lingering on these two people will be provoked by the descending tiger in the painting, and then stay in the mansion, and finally hang these three paintings in the room of Lao Zhongtang, and the situation can be successfully broken."

"However, there are two points that must be paid attention to. The sooner the opportunity to meet, the better. If the time drags on for a long time, the tiger's prestige on these two people will dissipate. Another point is that they are not allowed to enter Li Mansion. If all this is accomplished, Lao Zhongtang can extend his life by ten years."

After finishing speaking, Fang Linyan sighed and said with a wry smile:
"What I said is so clear, it is estimated that at least 30 years of life will be lost. If I hadn't admired Lao Zhongtang for fighting against Japan with his own body, I would never have said it. Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and left without ignoring the retention.

Li Jingshu was not without suspicion when Fang Linyan narrated it, but what he heard from Fang Linyan's words was not to harm others, but rather to excuse him, and he didn't think this guy could gain anything from it. He was completely relieved, and immediately began to investigate.

Fang Linyan said that the Japanese only installed two generals who belonged to rabbits, but Li Jingshu had the idea that he would rather kill the wrong than let him go. As long as they were rabbits and could see the old man often, they would all be expelled. !

After making up his mind, Li Jingshu immediately contacted Sheng Xuanhuai and Liu Tingcheng, the two pillars of the Huai Clan.

Sheng Xuanhuai joined Li Gongzhang's staff group in the ninth year of Tongzhi, and then rose to the top, taking charge of his own affairs.The Westernization Movement of later generations was managed by him alone, and now he is the governor of Zhili Customs, and he can be called the money bag of the Huai family, the God of Wealth.

Liu Tingcheng is not well-known in history, but after the death of Li Gongzhang's two younger brothers, he assisted Li Gongzhang to take care of various chores, which is equivalent to a complex of big housekeeper + Shaoxing master. What is wrong with Li Gongzhang? The chores and trivial matters that are convenient to come forward are all handled by him. Simply put, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Huai Clan.

These two people teamed up, and with the fact that Li Jingshu, the big yamen, was justified, it would be much faster to transfer personnel in the Huai army than Cixi's decree!

After Sheng Xuanhuai and Liu Tingcheng were called by Li Jingshu, they both looked at each other in disbelief when they heard the big yamen's story about the future, and they definitely didn't believe it in their hearts.But these two people have extremely high emotional intelligence, and they understand very well that there is definitely no way to say this directly.

The only one who dies through hardships through the ages, what a wise man Qin Huang Han Wu is, he also has to ask for the elixir of death!
If I behaved disapprovingly on this matter, I would go back to Li Jingshu and talk to Lao Zhongtang, what would Lao Zhongtang think?

I must feel that the tea is cold, and I have not died yet, and some people hope that I will die soon.

Fortunately, this matter is not easy to say, but it is not necessarily difficult to do it. It is nothing more than mobilizing a few people.Li Jingshu, the eldest son, is keeping a close eye on this matter, so he must not be careless.

And Liu Tingcheng, the big housekeeper, went back to check and found that there were quite a lot of middle and high-level generals who could often see Lao Zhongtang, but there were only four people who belonged to the rabbit. Needless to say, these four people should be transferred.

On the list of these four people: Fang Boqian's name is on the list!Yes, Fang Linyan's hole was dug especially for him.
