I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Li Wei clasped his hands together, with a shy expression of embarrassment, as if the poem he made didn't feel like it could be put on the table.

"Good, good, good!"

"Today, I'm lucky enough to hear this poem, and I'm sure I'll be able to tell you three things."

Several old talents who were promoted as judges couldn't help but applaud repeatedly. The previous poem was already a masterpiece, and when this poem came out, it shocked the audience even more, and it was even more rare that Li Langjun Composing two songs in one breath, this talent is even more admirable.

Jin Ruowang and the others did not expect such a result. They all looked like defeated roosters, with their heads drooping, and their faces were full of expressions. Even if they were unhappy with Li Wei, they still had to admire this amazing song "" "Small Garden Plum".

A group of young ladies blinked their bright eyes and stared at Li Wei who was in the limelight. The expressions on his pretty face were extremely rich, full of surprise, admiration, envy, curiosity and loss.

At this time, they had naturally ignored Li Wei's ordinary appearance, and what they saw was his amazing talent, no wonder he was able to capture Miss Hao's heart.

At this moment, they realized that Miss Hao had sharp eyesight, and she grabbed the talented Li in her hands first, which is a pity.

Hao Ruoying could see all the expressions on everyone's faces, and she couldn't help but show a bit of complacency on her pretty face, you don't know, my family is a master who is famous all over the world.

Sitting by the side, Xiao Xiaoxiao smiled like a flower. Although she is good at martial arts, she also likes to read. Even if she can't compose poetry, she can sing poems. For someone's amazing talent, she admires him from the bottom of her heart, and her heart is full of longing Apart from that, it was inevitable that some wild thoughts would be in her mind. If someone came into her room tonight, she would definitely agree with it.

With Li Wei's eternal masterpiece "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden", all the talents present were determined not to show their shame, and Jin Ruowang and others who regarded Li Wei as their rivals in love even sat down and drank alcohol obediently.

Although the poetry meeting has only started not long ago, the song "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden" has brought the poetry meeting to its climax, and also made Li Wei's fame rise to the peak. Everyone can only admire and admire in their hearts.

The person in charge of the poetry meeting also knew that none of the gifted scholars present dared to write poems to show their ugliness, intentionally or unintentionally ignored the important part of the poetry competition, and frequently toasted to relieve the pressure and embarrassment of the gifted scholars.

Hao Ruoying soon realized that she was wrong, and regretted that she should show off and let her sweetheart show off at this kind of gathering. The twenty or so women present here are all single young ladies who have never been out of the court. , They all had a strong interest in Li Wei, and they all rushed to toast Li Wei, clung to him with excuses, and even asked him if he had a wife. If you hook your fingers, there is a great possibility of throwing yourself into your arms.

Hao Ruoying couldn't help but get nervous, she knew someone's personality too well, but she didn't like to see beautiful women, and she was more open-minded. These little ladies were more enthusiastic than each other, which made her feel inexplicable pressure.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, so she can only bite the bullet and take the initiative to drink a toast for someone. Fortunately, the alcohol content of water and wine these days is low. She was born in a brothel and received all kinds of strict training. One of the compulsory homework, otherwise, if you can't drink enough, you will have been drunk by those famous scholars who linger in the brothel, so what if you take the opportunity.

Seeing so many enthusiastic and beautiful young ladies giving someone a glance, she felt nervous, and used the excuse to help Sister Hao hold back the wine. Most of the wine toasted by the young ladies went into her stomach. If you reach the realm of Huazhen, you can use your internal force to force out the alcohol in your body, and you can't pour a thousand cups. Drinking alcohol is like drinking plain water.

Fortunately, although these young ladies who have not left the court are passionate and courageous, they still dare not seduce and flirt like the chief oiran of the brothel.

However, seeing Hao Ruoying so nervous, some girls couldn't help giggling and teasing her.

Hao Ruoying was born in a brothel, and had never seen any troubles before. She calmly dealt with the jokes of these sisters, dismantled them very gracefully, and Xiao Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think highly of her.

At this moment, in a mansion far away in Chang'an, Tang Su'e spent a lot of money and thought in a luxurious darkroom, on the soft carpet, half of her snow-white carcass, looking contentedly at Zheng E, who was almost in a coma.

These days, apart from urging her to practice kung fu and learn all kinds of compulsory homework, she spends the rest of her time in this darkroom, which is richly furnished, luxurious and thought-provoking, enjoying hearty love.

Xiao Nizi was easily conquered by her without being a human being. After enjoying the wonderful taste of ecstasy again and again, she was completely lost in the sea of ​​desire. Her mind and body had already changed, and some temperament had also occurred Changes, with a bit of soul-stirring love between her brows.

However, this is far from her request. She not only wants to train Zheng E to be a slut who can seduce people's souls, but also to be a dignified and virtuous lady on the surface. She also wants to train Zheng E to be a mixture of an angel and a witch. , is her ultimate goal.

These days, she has been training Zheng E all the time, only letting her practice in a silk robe as thin as a cicada's wings, and she has to wear some special utensils made by skilled craftsmen who spend a lot of money. This is not only a visual enjoyment , but also a kind of training for Zheng E, and what she likes most is that Zheng E can't stand the torment of desire. The wonderful taste of immortality.

The sound of Tu Tu Tu's knuckles hitting the wooden board suddenly came, and Tang Su'e frowned slightly. She hated being disturbed at such a time. However, she stood up and picked up a gauze drape as thin as a cicada's wings. On the body.

The subordinates all know her rules, but they still disturb her at such a time, there must be something urgent to report.

Tang Su'e walked to the wall at the door, and there was a small bamboo basket hanging under the vent, and there was a note in the basket, which was stuffed in by someone outside through the vent.

She picked up the note and glanced at it, then raised her curved willow eyebrows, and a frightening murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Chapter 221 Bloody Sudden Incident

On the white snow, in the howling cold wind, a large carriage is running, and the whip is a gray-haired old man, lazily swinging the long whip in his hand, and occasionally a frightening cold light flashes through his dim old eyes .

The spacious compartment is extremely luxuriously furnished, with a thick layer of brocade cushions, cushions and brocade quilts, and even a small pot of red-hot charcoal fire. People sitting in it will not feel the chill.

The carriage is indeed very warm, it can be said to be as warm as spring, even full of spring.

Sitting in the car were Tang Su'e and her apprentice and little lover Zheng E, both of them were wearing expensive fur coats, Zheng E was curled up in her arms, her phoenix eyes were half closed, her pretty face was full of soul-stirring looks. The thick spring tide, the slightly parted cherry lips spit out a low moan of ecstasy from time to time.

Tang Su'e's face was full of complacency. With only two fingers, she sent her lover to the sky again and again. This sense of accomplishment of conquering the same sex made her very satisfied.

She had just learned that one of the main targets to be assassinated had gone to Hongfeng Province a few days ago, she immediately took Zheng E and set off without hesitation.

She rushed to Hongfeng Province in such a hurry, she didn't have to take action on the target immediately, she was looking for the best opportunity to make a move, so it didn't matter even if the trip was in vain, anyway, with Zheng E accompanying her, the journey would be fine. not lonely.

At this time, in the plum garden, the poetry meeting reached the climax of toasting, and a group of passionate young ladies tried their best to toast the showy Li Wei with various excuses. The trend of hooking up.

Hao Ruoying and Xiao Xiaoxiao were guarded by soldiers, flooded with earth, no matter how good Hao Ruoying's drinking capacity was, no matter how clever his tactics were, he couldn't stand the sky-high toast. A bit of blush, adding a bit of soul-stirring charm.

However, Xiao Xiao's small drinking capacity frightened everyone present. If there were a hundred glasses of water and wine toasted by the ladies, she would drink at least eighty of them. Hao Ruoying was faintly drunk, so she simply drank it all, and poured glasses of water and wine into her small cherry mouth, her face remained unchanged.

Looking at the group of young ladies, nine out of ten were already drunk, and a few of them were forced to be helped down by the maidservant.

All the gifted scholars present stared wide-eyed, this drinking capacity is too scary, they are simply the king of wine who never gets drunk after a thousand cups.

Only Li Wei knows that Xiao Xiaoxiao is a master who is close to the master level, and his internal strength is unfathomable. He can use his profound internal strength to force out the wine in his stomach. There is a large puddle of water on the ground beside him, which is Xiao Xiaoxiao secretly. The wine forced out by luck.

In order to cover it up for her, when Li Wei was drinking tea, he intentionally missed and spilled the tea all over the floor. No one could see the mystery.

Xiao Xiaoxiao's drinking capacity is so monstrous, and most of the young ladies passed out drunk and were escorted away by the personal maid. The remaining few, though good at drinking, were six or seven points drunk, and they would die if they drank any more. They had no choice but to back down , that resentful look in his eyes made any man unable to bear the feeling of pity.

Li Wei has always boasted that he is the most compassionate and sympathetic, and this feeling is even worse. He is even worried that these little ladies will not think about eating and drinking because of him, and their hearts will be broken?

When everyone is drunk, the poetry meeting will naturally end.

On the way back, perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, Hao Ruoying seemed extremely excited, took Xiao Xiaoxiao's hand and chattered non-stop, and forced her to get into the car, Li Wei had no choice but to hide in the corner obediently , Xiao Xiaoxiao also felt a little embarrassed.

Back home, Hao Ruoying, who was already a little drunk, was blown by the cold wind, and the alcohol surged up, and she vomited until the sky was dark, making Xiao Xiaoxiao and her maid Xiaomeng very busy. When she fell asleep, everyone was relieved. tone.

People are so drunk, Li Wei can't leave, can't stay, it's somewhat depressed.

When everyone was busy with Hao Ruoying, the poisonous lady Zhao Fengqin slipped into Xiao Xiaoxiao's room, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, and poured some black powder into the lamp oil.

"Girl, Eldest Sister knows that you are thin-skinned, but it's hard to find a good man, and you have to hold on to it. Eldest Sister can help you so much."

After she lit the ambergris, she clapped her hands talking to herself, and left with an ambiguous smile on her face.

However, her kind arrangement failed. After the young master received an urgent letter from Chang'an, he immediately asked the guards to prepare the car and set off, and hurried back to Chang'an.

When he left, Hao Ruoying was still sleeping, and he left a letter full of apology, explaining that there was something urgent and he had to rush back to Chang'an to deal with it.

A caravan of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was ambushed on the Jing County Road in the territory of the Tang Empire. Except for one person who escaped from the encirclement and escaped to report the news, nearly a hundred guards and more than 50 coachmen were killed in battle. There are more than 50, and the loss can be described as heavy.

The current Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is no longer a pure merchant group, but has become one of the tools of the Military Intelligence Department to collect intelligence from outside. Of course, the money is still earned, and the intelligence is also collected. Now there is an accident, and the loss of goods is a trivial matter. Many of the coachmen and coachmen are specially trained secret spies, so this loss is a big one.

"Check, I must find out who did it for me!"

Back in Chang'an, Li Wei didn't even enter the house, but went directly to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Department, swearing with gritted teeth, with a ferocious expression on his face.

A group of generals from the Military Intelligence Department and Ding Xi who came in a hurry all looked at each other in blank dismay. The young master had a very good temper and rarely lost his temper, which showed that he was extremely annoyed at the loss.

Wu You and Tian Ce are quite familiar with the young master's temperament, so they understand the reason for his rage, not to mention how protective the young master is of his subordinates. In public, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is one of the important tools for the Military Intelligence Department to collect information from outside. Some people are equal to the intelligence personnel of the Military Intelligence Department. In terms of establishment, they are also soldiers who receive military pay. Now that they are dead, they must give their families and soldiers a clear and fair explanation.

Furthermore, if this matter is not resolved properly, similar tragedies will inevitably happen again. Therefore, the young master has no choice but to deal with it well, and to carry out bloody revenge with thunderous means, so as to deter those Xiaoxiao and ensure future There will no longer be similar tragedies.

Li Wei was furious, but he didn't mean to scold his subordinates. The people in the Military Intelligence Department are still very effective. While sending people to the provincial capital of Hongfeng to report to him, they have sent a large number of spies to sneak into the Tang Empire to find out The real culprit behind the scenes.

"Master, my subordinates have ordered a thousand special forces to sneak into the Tang Empire and stand by at night."

Ding Xi reported in a low voice, based on his understanding of the young master, he would definitely go to the Tang Empire to deal with the matter in person, so before the young master rushed back from the provincial capital of Hongfeng, he had already sent a thousand special forces to sneak into the Tang Empire first. standby.

Generally speaking, the Black Guards and the Military Intelligence Department are both secret service agencies, except that one is in charge of the internal affairs and the other is in charge of the external affairs. The intelligence of the two agencies is shared, and some intelligence is related, and some secret operations even overlap. Yes, if you don't cooperate sincerely, you will bump your head, and it may cause misunderstanding and tragedy.

This incident happened abroad. Although it was handled by the Military Intelligence Department, the black guards were obliged to assist, and they had to use special forces.

Today, the special night reception with 500 people has become an indispensable mysterious force for two places to deal with some difficult things.

Chapter 222 Clues

Early the next morning, Li Wei, dressed as a traveling scholar, quietly left Beijing for the Tang Empire under the escort of Xiao Xiaoxiaoye, Chongyang and his wife.

Later, Li Gang made a statement about the attack on the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the early court, which was related to the dignity of the empire, and asked the court to put pressure on the Tang Empire.

Except for the core members of the Li family who knew the inside story, the civil servants and military generals of the imperial party did not take it seriously. The fact that running a business and being robbed is too common. Just because of some low-status businessmen, the court went to war. What does Li want to do?

No matter how the civil servants and military generals reacted, it was useless to oppose it. Li Gang was the prime minister who monopolized the power of the court, and he had the final say on all matters.

The angel representing King Qin immediately went to the Tang Empire to protest, demanding that the murderer be severely punished and compensate for the loss, otherwise, the Tang Empire would be responsible for any consequences.

Although a weak country has no diplomacy, the Qin Empire has been repeatedly invaded by the Tang Empire. On the surface, but in fact, the overall national strength of the Qin Empire is only slightly weaker than that of the Tang Empire. Self-respect, disobedience to the court's dispatch, and mutual infighting gave the Tang Empire an opportunity.

Even so, the Tang Empire's repeated invasions were repelled by the coalition forces of the provinces. The two wars in the past two years caused the Tang Empire to suffer heavy losses. Up to now, nearly [-] prisoners of war are still detained in the Qin Empire to do hard work.

Now, the Li clan has risen strongly, wiped out the Red Maple and Blue clan, Qingchuan Kong clan, and unified the Qin Empire. Even if the national power has not changed, it is an indisputable fact that the military power has soared.

This was proposed by Li Wei. After repeated consideration by two think tanks, one big and one small, the decision was made. The first step is to put pressure on the Tang Empire diplomatically. Court scholars and bureaucrats think about the consequences of committing evil?

When the Angels of the Empire went to the capital of the Tang Empire to protest, Li Wei and others were already on Jing County Road in the territory of the Tang Empire to check the scene of the murder.

Pingtang County is one of the border crossings between the two countries. It has four counties including Tian County and Jingxian County under its jurisdiction. Jingxian County is the closest to Pingtang County. Jingxian County Road is a famous steep canyon. a military fortress.

If you want to go back to 30 years ago, the three counties of Pingtang, Baimo and Changchuan were once the prefectures of the Qin Empire, but for various reasons, the three counties were occupied by the Tang Empire, but the Qin Empire was unable to take it back, so they could only watch. Seeing that Pingtang County was included in the territory of the Tang Empire.

It is a very normal thing among the empires to pay compensation for the defeat of the war, and it is the same in the hearts of many people, but in the eyes of some bloody people, this is a shame, and Li Gang is one of them.

For the Qin Empire, the geographical location of Pingtang County is extremely important. It only needs to send an army to guard the dangerous road in Jingxian County, which is enough to resist the thousands of troops of the Tang Empire. There are a large number of troops stationed in the three counties of Jincheng, which consume a lot of money and food every day. This is a huge material consumption invisibly.

Standing at the scene of the murder, Li Wei learned about the grievances and grievances between the Qin and Tang empires in the past few decades. Lurking means not forgetting to regain lost ground at all times.

In the vast snowy field, there are messy footprints everywhere, and a group of subordinates are busy searching for clues. In fact, on the way here, the spy who sneaked in first has searched carefully dozens of times, collecting and inquiring about the clues. All relevant information was written and submitted in written reports. Li Wei just hoped to find more clues and find out the black hands behind the scenes.

According to Wang Ping, the only caravan guard who escaped back, the enemies who attacked the caravan covered their faces. There were about 600 people in ambush on both sides of the canyon. lost heavily.

However, all caravan guards are veterans selected from the army. Even if they are attacked and suffer heavy losses, the remaining guards, under the command of the captain Gansu, quickly form an formation and carry out tenacious resistance. Even if the entire army is wiped out, the enemy will suffer. Not a small loss.

Originally, under the command of Captain Gansu, the remaining guards managed to break through the enemy's encirclement. However, in order to cover Wang Ping's escape and report alive, they chose to stay and block the enemy until they died in battle.

A total of 170 corpses were stored in the thrifty mortuary of the Pingtang County Government. Li Wei had sent people to negotiate and transport the corpses back to China for burial.

According to the information provided by Wang Ping, some information obtained by the comprehensive intelligence personnel ruled out the possibility that there were spies inside. It was very likely that a group of robbers entrenched in Jinji Mountain did it, and only the robbers in Jinji Mountain had this strength.

"Go and see the nearby villages."

Wu You suggested that according to what Wang Ping said, there were as many as 600 robbers in that gang. With so many people setting up ambushes on both sides of the canyon, they might attract the attention of the nearby villagers when they passed by, and they might be able to find some useful clues from them. Not impossible.

Anyway, I haven't found any clues to support it so far, so I can only try a blind cat and a dead mouse.

Li Wei readily accepted this proposal, and sent some people to investigate the Huangjia Village on the left, and himself, Wu You and others went to Lijia Village on the right.

It was freezing cold, and everyone in the village huddled at home to warm up by the fire, and those from a decent family even warmed up some low-quality water and wine to drink.

When Li Wei and others entered the village, they still attracted the attention of the villagers. The village official Li Gu rushed over after hearing the news.

The village is the head of the village, who is held by a highly respected old man. Li Wei showed his official seal, claiming to be from Yicheng, the capital of the emperor, and he was appointed as the fourth-rank captain of cavalry, and was ordered to investigate the bloody case on Jing County Road.

The official seals are all genuine, but they belong to the Qin Empire, and the official positions are pinched by Hu. No matter how respected and knowledgeable Li Cunzheng is, it is impossible for him to have seen official seals of this rank. For them, Qipin county magistrate is already a high-ranking official.

Li Cunzheng was directly bluffed, nodding and bowing with a smile on his face.

"It's freezing cold, ghosts are willing to come to this kind of place."

Wu You complained, threw a golden leaf to Li Cunzheng, and gave orders carelessly.

Li Cunzheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, he immediately asked people to beat the gong to tell the whole village to gather under the big pagoda tree.

Standing on the stone mill, Li Cunzheng made a call according to Li Wei's wishes, and then stepped aside.

Wu You walked up to the stone mill, holding a ten taels of snowflake silver in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Whoever folks heard or saw something, this ingot of snowflake silver belongs to him."

Chapter 223 Clues

Ten taels of silver is a lot of money for the poor, enough to support a family for a year and a half. It would be strange to say that no one is moved. However, they heard about the murder in the canyon, but they did not find out. What an exception.

Wu You looked expectantly at the villagers below, but after a while, no one stood up, and she couldn't help being disappointed.

They didn't find anything, Li Wei and others were very disappointed, led the crowd to leave, and then walked out of the village, Li Cunzheng's shout came from behind him, he was running and shaking his hands, followed by a young man who looked like a hunter.

Li Wei and Wu You looked at each other. If they didn't guess wrong, the young man behind Li Cunzheng must have known something, and both of them felt a pleasant surprise in their hearts.

Sure enough, this young man named Li Gan was a hunter in his village. At the time of the incident, he was hunting on a nearby hill and witnessed the whole incident.

After those masked robbers killed everyone, they tore off the small blue flag on the truck and replaced it with another small red flag. Some of them led the convoy and swaggered away, taking the official road in the direction of Jingnan. .

Another group of people put the corpses of their companions into long cloth bags, loaded them into cars and pulled them away. They also walked in the direction of Jingnan. However, when they turned halfway to Jinji Mountain, Li Gan followed quietly, watching those people. I didn't come back until I went to Jinji Mountain.

Li Wei and Wu You took Li Gan aside and asked for half an hour before giving up.

Wu You rewarded Li Cunzheng 100 taels of silver and Li Gan 1000 taels. At the same time, he warned the two of them that what happened just now must not be known to others, otherwise a catastrophe would strike and scare Li Cunzheng and Li Gan to death. .

Whether it is intimidation or threat, it can be determined that the robbers in Jinji Mountain did it.

"I want all the information on Jinji Mountain!"

After Li Wei gave the order, surrounded by guards, he went to Tian County Toudian to stay and wait for news.
