Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 25 Do business, don't shudder!

In fact, as soon as Li Zhi's words came out, he had already expressed his heart.

Previously, Li Zhi always referred to himself as "the king", but now it is replaced by "I".

His purpose of asking this sentence was not to make Cui Zhiwen look bad.

It's about Cui Zhiwen expressing his stance and asking him to say clearly what price he can pay for this.

Cui Zhiwen tilted his head, and asked back: "I think, I don't need to say this clearly, do I? The moment I accepted the recommendation letter from King Jin, I have already paid a big enough price!"

As long as he accepts the olive branch extended by Li Zhi, he will already be labeled as "King Jin".

what does this mean?
It means betrayal!

Accepting Li Zhi's help itself is already the biggest vote!

Li Zhi asked him to express his opinion, but Cui Zhiwen thought it was unnecessary.

However, Li Zhi didn't think so.

Li Zhi stared into Cui Zhiwen's eyes and said, "Not enough! It's not enough!"

"I want you to help me investigate a few things in exchange for my trust."

"If you can accept it, then let's continue talking!"

There are only permanent interests in this world, but no permanent friends.

Isn't it just betraying one's own family?
Can this also be used as a bargaining chip?

Li Zhi does not accept this kind of deal, he wants real benefits!

The biggest benefit that can be obtained from Cui Zhiwen is the pervasive network of connections of the wealthy family.

Li Zhi asked Cui Zhiwen to help investigate the matter. On the one hand, it was for the court meeting two days later, and on the other hand, it was also a test of his ability.

If Cui Zhiwen can investigate the matter clearly, Li Zhi will not be stingy with his trust, and he will definitely bring Cui Zhiwen into his family.

After all, who can refuse a person to serve him?
Even without these bargaining chips, Li Zhi still wants to recruit him.

It's just that due to the tense situation between the two, he must get a sufficiently convincing nomination certificate.

Among them, the biggest bargaining chip is Cui Zhiwen's ability and the benefits he can bring to Li Zhi.

As for determination?

That's not worth a few bucks.

Li Zhi has already put his bargaining chip on the bright side, and now it is Cui Zhiwen's turn to make a choice.

The half-grown child hesitated for a long time, finally lowered his voice, and asked in Li Zhi's ear: "I heard that you, King Jin... once said that you would use fair and fair means to snatch the crown prince's position." ?”

Li Zhi nodded slightly, acknowledging the matter.

Seeing Li Zhi's actions, Cui Zhiwen's eyes lit up.

"But please give me your orders, King Jin!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi took a deep look at him, and whispered in his ear: "Send someone to Qizhou to investigate Licheng...and Du's Mansion...and Chen Guogong's Mansion...and Luoyang... Check it out one last time..."

Cui Zhiwen originally thought that there were only one or two things that Li Zhi wanted him to investigate, but in reality it sounded like a plethora of things.

But now that he has agreed, Cui Zhiwen has nothing to do but nod from time to time while listening.

After listening to everything, Cui Zhiwen frowned and said: "There are so many cases, I'm afraid it won't be clear for a while."

"Don't worry!" Li Zhi waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "As much as you can check, even if you can't find out even one thing, this king will not blame you."

But you'd kick me out without mercy, wouldn't you?
Cui Zhiwen understood what Li Zhi meant, smiled wryly, and got up to leave.

Li Zhi didn't keep him either, and let Cui Zhiwen turn around and leave.

After he left, Li Mingda couldn't wait to ask: "Who is this person? I think Brother Jiu seems to take him seriously?"

A strange smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, and he said to her, "People from the Qinghe Cui family, what's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to him?"

"So it's from the Cui family."

Li Mingda ignored Li Zhi's ridicule, and showed a disgusted expression on his face: "They really linger, they are already like this, and they still want to disturb Brother Jiu!"

Seeing her serious expression, Li Zhi rearranged the messy hair for her.

"He's not pestering me endlessly, he just wants to serve Brother Nine. If he can really help, maybe Brother Nine will use him again."

As he said that, Li Zhi asked with a serious expression: "Xiao Si, you won't blame Brother Nine for this, will you?"

"Ah?" Li Mingda was stunned, she didn't expect there to be such a twists and turns.

She thought about it for a while with a sullen face, and replied with a serious face: "No! As long as Brother Jiu makes a decision, it must be beneficial to our Li family, so I won't blame Brother Jiu. "

"Then I thank you."

Li Zhi's hand gently rubbed her delicate face with pity.

"It would be great if you could be healthier. Don't get sick in the future. Don't always make us worry."

"No way." Princess Jinyang patted his hand away, sticking out her tongue mischievously.

Immediately, he seemed to realize that his movements were not elegant, and adjusted his posture back to the state of sitting upright.

The 11-year-old Princess Jinyang already has a dignified and elegant temperament.

No matter when you see her, you will give people a majestic and elegant extravagance.

But who knows how much she has sacrificed in order to cultivate an outstanding temperament.

It can only be said that everyone has everyone's life, and Li Zhi only hopes that she will be healthier and live longer.

Don't frown all day long, sad spring and autumn, bad mood can easily affect life expectancy.

Especially in ancient times when medical technology was underdeveloped, human life was too fragile.

"Let's go, I have seen the demeanor of the students today, and I will take you to the Zhengzhengfang to see it another day."

"We'll go to the East Market for a little shopping later, and buy some gifts to visit my uncle's house and visit the fifth sister."

"I don't know what crimes my Li family has committed. You sisters are all weak and sick, and A Yuan is in better health. The others... are really hard to describe."

The fifth sister that Li Zhi talked about was actually their sister of the same father and mother, Li Lizhi, Princess of Changle.

According to the records in the history books, Princess Changle might not survive this year.

And Jinyang Princess Li Mingda is also a matter of front and rear feet.

What Li Zhi can do is to be kind to Li Mingda on weekdays, help her recuperate her body secretly, and make her happier.

As for Princess Changle, the distant water cannot save the near fire, so she can only resign herself to her fate.

Even if you belong to the royal family, you are vulnerable to illness.

After Li Zhi settled the bill, he was going to take the two of them downstairs to visit Princess Changle as planned.

But when he was approaching the door, he saw another young man approaching calmly.

Li Zhi is not in the mood to talk to people now, and before the young man could open his mouth, he said first: "This king doesn't want to know who you are, but if you can pass the imperial examination, this king will meet you."
