Zhou Yanchuan saw him in the gazebo above the rockery in the post house.

At that time, Zhou Yanchuan was wearing a long cloak, with a circle of snow-white fox fur around the collar of the cloak, which made Zhou Yanchuan's face more white and handsome.

Seeing Li Sizhi who was dressed in black with half of his face covered by a mask, Zhou Yanchuan's mood was not affected, and he kindly poured a cup of tea and stretched out his hand to the side where he was standing.

"I did a good job going to the appointment that day. It gave me a chance to breathe, and it was also a good lesson for the old man. Today he invited another banquet, you go with me, seize the opportunity to start with his precious daughter, and dig more. Just dig more information, you have to know how to make good use of your face, you know?"

It turned out that he had something to do.

This is the real reason for letting him out. On the other hand, it is not difficult to see that Zhou Yanchuan dispelled his doubts and was willing to entrust such an important matter to him.

"Yes, this subordinate understands." He said sternly.

When he was Li Fei and Lin Ze, Li Sizhi always let himself go according to his nature, regardless of the original owner.

When he came to Zhuoxuan, he pondered over and over again to understand that if he reveals himself too much, what he gets may not be the ideal result.

It is very likely that Zhou Yanchuan will stare at him because of his sharpness, and he will simply deal with it.

It is too easy for this dynasty to kill a person and then destroy them, not to mention that Zhou Yanchuan is the fifth highness of the little red man in front of His Majesty today.

Li Sizhi has no preference to challenge the powerful, he avoids their edge, and if he seizes the right opportunity, he will hit it.

Before that, he needs to maintain Zhuo Xuan's original character design, and he is unlikely to collapse at any time.

Zhou Yanchuan looked at his well-behaved appearance with his face similar to his own covered and his eyelids lowered due to inertia, and unexpectedly remembered what Ye Yingwei said in return.

"Come here." Zhou Yanchuan waved to Li Sizhi.

Li Sizhi's body reacted faster than his brain, and when he stood still and Zhou Yanchuan raised his hand to pinch his jaw, he was still thinking about what this man wanted to do.

Zhou Yanchuan's gaze followed his tall nose bridge. In order to prevent the double from being seen through, Li Sizhi used many of the same things as him.

Due to the different constitutions of people, the effect of things falling on Li Sizhi's body is always more obvious than his.

Li Sizhi looked fairer than him, and his skin was more delicate, like the white glaze just fired out of the kiln, white and soft.

Zhou Yanchuan's hand slowly moved along his neck to the collar, his fingertips moved slightly, and his fingertips touched by the cool autumn wind fell on his slightly hot collarbone.

People who feel the skin on their fingertips are probably not used to being touched by others, and they shudder presumptuously when they are treated like this.

Zhou Yanchuan frowned, already displeased.

When he withdrew his hand from the collarbone, passing by the slender neck suddenly stopped, Zhou Yanchuan pinched Li Sizhi, and pulled him in front of him.

"What are you thinking about these three days? Why don't you go out?"

Being obedient enough didn't dispel his doubts.

Li Sizhi's breathing was a little uncomfortable, and his bright red lips moved slightly: "When His Highness summons his subordinates, His Highness is the Lord, and without His Highness's will, his subordinates dare not act rashly."

Zhou Yanchuan stared at him with gloomy eyes for a long time, then withdrew his hand abruptly, regardless of whether Li Sizhi could stand still.

"You are really loyal. For the sake of your usefulness tonight, this king will not treat you for the time being. When you return, if you do things well, this king will not pursue it."

Li Sizhi didn't dare to touch his neck in front of Zhou Yanchuan, and responded in a low voice, pretending not to see Qing Yun's sometimes complicated and sometimes annoyed eyes over there.

Zhou Yanchuan saw everything in his eyes and laughed endlessly.

The reason for not cleaning up Qingyun is very simple. The power behind Qingyun is of great use to him.

Even if Qing Yun tried to persuade Li Sizhi, it wouldn't be too much trouble.

At first glance, Li Sizhi is a good servant who recognizes that his master will not betray. He is actually very relieved, but he can't help being suspicious in his heart. He always wants to get some comfort from Li Sizhi's answer, so as to stabilize his shaky sense of security .

Zhou Yanchuan looked at the cup of tea that was still on the table that had never been touched, his face was cloudy and he recalled certain past events.

"Drink it." He said in a rather bad tone.

Without saying a word, Li Sizhi stepped forward and drank it up.

Satisfied, Zhou Yanchuan raised the corners of his lips, feeling at last at ease.

At the end of the day, Zhou Yanchuan changed back into the slightly grand princely costume and took Qingyun and Li Sizhi to the most famous Xinghualou in Jiangbei to attend the appointment.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the corrupt officials investigated this time, is in charge of the most affluent area in the court.

Mobilizing him is always more thought-provoking than investigating other corrupt officials. It is true that there are too many people involved in this position, and the forces of all parties are intertwined.

Zhou Yanchuan, the Fifth Highness who is weak in the court, has some ability to really pull out this cancer?

Li Sizhi was sitting in the carriage, looking at what he could dig out from the treasure of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

If he didn't come up with something useful, Zhou Yanchuan would be nervous and trouble him.

Thinking this way, when he arrived at Xinghualou and followed Zhou Yanchuan who was mediating with the old fox, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he looked at the old fox distractedly.

A pair of slender eyes, the eyes are shining brightly, and there is a sense of closeness in every gesture when speaking.

But when Zhou Yanchuan half-truthfully reached out to pick it up, the old fox waved it away again and again, as if he wasn't the one who was trying to get close to him.

interesting.

Zhou Yanchuan had suffered a lot of grievances before he came to prominence, such as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Su Tan, Zhou Yanchuan was not angry because of this, he still laughed at Yan Yan.

This kind of heart is quite generous.

Su Tan didn't even think about angering people like this, and said with a hearty smile: "How does the Fifth Highness feel these few days? There are often things like acclimatization, and His Highness can adapt after a few more visits. The appointment a few days ago is nothing else The main thing is that the little girl wants to see His Highness, and she said that there are a few hard-to-find piano scores that I want to discuss. You see, this old man can't hold back the eagerness of the little girl to meet her confidant. If I bother His Highness, please forgive me."

Zhou Yanchuan said with a smile: "What did Mr. Su say? It is my honor to be favored by Ms. Su. Tomorrow I will personally apologize. Please forgive Ms. Su."

"No, no, she knows that the old man invited His Highness to a banquet and wanted to follow her. She should wait in the room at this time." Su Tan said, with narrow eyes, "Why don't Your Highness go to discuss with the little girl first? This Xinghualou It takes some work to prepare the food and wine. Your Highness will use this to pass it off, and it will not waste the little girl waiting."

Zhou Yanchuan's mind moved slightly, and he accepted it calmly: "Master Su is right, I don't know which box Miss Su is in?"

Su Tan smiled: "Tianzihao."

"Miss Su came with the piano score. It's a coincidence that I brought the zither. I'll go there after I get it. Miss Lausu will wait a little longer." Zhou Yanchuan smiled, and gave the hand behind his back Qingyun and Li Sizhi gestured.

Both of them retreated to get the piano.

Suddenly Su Tan couldn't understand what Zhou Yanchuan was trying to do.

Agreeing to let Su Mianmian come to the appointment was because Su Tan wanted to find out what the Fifth Highness said.

That day, after the banquet at the posthouse, the people sent to chase and kill Zhou Yanchuan returned without success, and then Su Tan received news from the posthouse, claiming that His Highness the Fifth Prince was not satisfied with the climate, and thanked the guests behind closed doors. meet.Su Tan couldn't wait to know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhou Yanchuan's gourd.

Su Tan has been rampant in this area for many years, and the people's fat and people's anointing are enough, so rich that he doesn't want to move his nest, and he doesn't want anyone to come and move his lair.

Originally thought that there was a big backer in the court, and no one wanted to make a fuss, but who knew that the fifth prince, Zhou Yanchuan, who was quite popular, would come out.

Su Tan wanted to use the methods he had used to deal with various imperial envoys and governors in those years to deal with Zhou Yanchuan in the same way, but this old man refused to do so.

Today, Su Tan has no choice but to resort to new tactics, and Su Mianmian is one of them.

When an old fox meets a young fox who plays tricks, it is really difficult to see the bright moon through the mist.

The two parties stopped at the railing on the second floor and waited to pick up the piano, and heard a few quarrels coming from outside.

Zhou Yanchuan frowned, walked down in a hurry, and only had time to say to Su Tan: "It seems to be my attendant, Mr. Su, wait a moment, I will go back as soon as I go."

Su Tan is at the host's house, so there is no reason to let the guests handle things by themselves, he raised his heels: "I'm afraid it's not something serious, I'll take a look and see if I can help."

Zhou Yanchuan walked fast, but disappeared before Su Tan's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Su Tan had a bad intuition, and turned his head to wink at the follower who was good at following him.

The attendant nodded almost invisible, and hurried to chase after him to find out.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw 'Zhou Yanchuan' walking in holding a guqin with a distressed face, raised his eyes to meet Su Tan's suspicious eyes, he was embarrassed to explain: "Master Su doesn't know something, I love you Qin became crazy. Gang Qingyun said that someone accidentally bumped into a carriage and almost hit my qin. I was really scared. Master Su may not know that this Fangqin was given to me by my father on my 15th birthday. I am willing to take it with me wherever I go, as if my father is by my side to protect me."

Su Tan's expression froze for a moment, when he mentioned His Majesty, it seemed like a beating.

Su Tan and 'Zhou Yanchuan' looked at each other for a moment, then turned away first, and their smiles remained unchanged: "Your Highness respects His Majesty very much. If His Majesty knows, I don't know how comforting I feel. From this point of view, this piano must be well protected. , no wonder His Highness is so nervous."

'Zhou Yanchuan' smiled: "Master Su laughed, and Miss Su waited for a long time, let's go up."

Su Tan was a little annoyed at the mention of Su Mianmian at the moment, and it was hard to express it clearly. He watched 'Zhou Yanchuan' disappear at the corner with light footsteps, until the door squeaked and disappeared, and he was still standing in the corridor I thought to myself, is a person who values ​​feelings so much really a cunning and ruthless character in intelligence?

Su Tan has met too many people, and he can easily tell whether emotions are true or false.

The expression of 'Zhou Yanchuan' just now was too sincere, no trace of deceit could be seen, he really loves that Fang Qin.

Are you acting?

Su Tan looked at the house number of Tianzihao, and felt uneasy like ripples on the surface of a lake blown by the wind, which is not good.

Turning around and looking at Qing Yun and the masked attendants who were guarding outside like him, the feeling of badness became stronger, what's wrong?

Entering the Tianzihao private room, seeing the charming Miss Su in a pink shirt, Li Sizhi's lips curled up slightly, and he put down the piano and sat down calmly.

After Su Mianmian saluted, she raised her head and looked at him rightly, not at all shy and timid as a younger daughter should be, and she was generous in every way.

This girl is different from what Zhou Yanchuan said.

"Since Your Highness is willing to come, it means that he wants to join forces with my father." Su Mianmian said, making Li Sizhi pause for a while, and after probing, the girl looked at each other without hesitation, the heroic spirit in her eyes was his on Su Tan I haven't seen it.

well.

He remembered Su Mianmian described in the information provided by the system.

Unyielding to his parents, he bravely pursued the truth and supported justice.

Li Sizhi smiled even more intensely: "In your eyes, what kind of person is Mr. Su?"

Su Mianmian walked up to him, held her head high and said, "You ask the question knowingly."

Li Sizhi lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Su Mianmian stared at him, took a few steps back after a while, and said sharply, "Who are you?"

Such a strong observation ability, Li Sizhi couldn't help sighing: "Who do you think I am?"

Su Mianmian's hand was on the back of her waist, where her master's masterwork was forged for more than a year, a soft sword that cuts iron like mud.

"I don't know, but you are not Zhou Yanchuan!"

In front of a stranger, even the Fifth Highness is not honored.

Su Mianmian was indeed worth his all-out acting to fool Zhou Yanchuan, and it was a good choice to take the risk this time.

Li Sizhi did not reveal his identity because of this, but said: "I came with His Highness, and came here in front of your father."

Su Mianmian didn't let go of her hand, she was still very wary: "You are a substitute thrown out by him, why didn't he come to see me and let you come?"

"Another duty of the stand-in is to steal information. You are Su Tan's daughter, which is a good point in itself. Why do you think he asked me to come?"

"You are loyal to Zhou Yanchuan, why did you tell me the truth?"

"Because I know that you have justice in your heart and want to do a big business. It just so happens that I also have a good business here and want to cooperate with you."

Su Mianmian looked at him suspiciously, met his always smiling face, gradually felt friendly, put down her hands slowly, and sat opposite Li Sizhi.

After a stick of incense, when Su Tan was about to knock on the door irresistibly, the door of the Tianzihao room opened from the inside, 'Zhou Yanchuan' whispered a few words to the woman in the room holding the piano, and then exited casually Come.

Su Tan met his daughter's eyes as the door opened and closed. For just a moment, Su Tan only saw shyness, and nothing really useful.

Could it be that his daughter was fooled by the face of 'Zhou Yanchuan'?

Su Tan was full of worries, and it was not easy to ask face to face.

On the other hand, 'Zhou Yanchuan' who was standing in the corridor slightly straightened his sleeves, as if he had had a very pleasant time, and he was refreshed: "Master Su, I wonder if the food is ready? I didn't feel much when I was learning piano skills with Ms. Su." , but I feel hungry when I come out, and it’s very hard to bear.”

Su Tan immediately greeted each other with a smile on his face: "The old lady is urging someone to go, and His Highness is going this way. The old man still wants to ask His Highness for advice on some matters."

"Hey, Mr. Su has something to say directly, and asking for advice is too frustrating for me."'Zhou Yanchuan' said modestly.

Su Tan was not flattered when he was praised: "Since His Highness said so, the old man is disrespectful."

'Zhou Yanchuan' smiled lightly: "Master Su please."

Being anti-customer mainly made Su Tan pause slightly, and then warned himself that he should go in with a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of old foxes like Su Tan, Li Sizhi could no longer play matryoshka with Zhou Yanchuan and exchange the two back, so Li Sizhi could only continue wrangling with Su Tan.

The chefs in Xinghualou are very high-level, and the dishes are delicious in color, fragrance and taste, but the quantity is too small.

Chef Lai thought that most of the people who came here to eat were talking about business, and there were no more than seven chopsticks on the plate in the private room.

Li Sizhi was concerned about dirty things, so he rarely moved his chopsticks.

Su Tan turned a blind eye and started to talk about the matter seriously: "It's been a while since the autumn harvest, the old man is busy with paying taxes, so he didn't take good care of His Highness, so I'll make an apology first."

Su Tan raised his head and finished drinking a glass of wine. The wine cup was turned upside down, but no dripping water was seen.

Li Sizhi had no choice, so he drank a glass too: "Master Su is joking, I came here on a whim, and I didn't pick the right time, so I can't blame you for being too busy."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding. The old man has something to ask His Highness." Su Tan said as he filled up the wine, and moved his buttocks forward, as if this could become an ear-to-ear conversation with Li Sizhi.

Li Sizhi leaned over: "Oh?"

"Your Highness, you can bring the taxes with you when you go back. In the past, the old man arranged for escorts. This year, I was lucky enough to meet His Highness, and God helped me. I don't know that the road from here to the capital is difficult and dangerous, and it is easy to run into bandits. , with His Highness sitting in charge, it must be smooth sailing." Su Tan said, "This matter will be written in a memorial to His Majesty, and His Highness will be here."

This is to do things absolutely and not give Li Sizhi a chance to refuse.

Zhou Yanchuan was the one to ask, he couldn't make a choice.We have to see how Zhou Yanchuan reacts.

Li Sizhi didn't agree hastily, but picked up the wine cup, lowered his eyes as if thinking, raised his eyes to glance at the blinking Zhou Yanchuan, and he understood.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is unreasonable." He couldn't reach his eyes with a smile.

Su Tan: "Of course I won't let His Highness help in vain."

Is this a bribe?
