The wind

The autumn wind is rustling, the leaves are turning over and crows are turning, and the bleak courtyard is still empty with bursts of loneliness.

It is clear that there is no human habitation here, Li Zhongnan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"I heard that the twelfth younger brother had a low profile before he was alive, and seeing him now, it is as expected." Li Zhongnan said leisurely after not knowing how long, "It can be said that he is in control of the overall situation."

"Wonderful praise." I only heard a voice from under the withered flower stand on Li Zhongnan's left hand, which seemed to be accompanied by a strange rubbing sound, "It's a pity that my life is hard and I'm not dead yet."

On that day, Li Zhongnan and Xiao Zhouheng struggled to get the words out of Xiyan's mouth—the previous time when Xiyan was acting as a substitute, they met Yuying in Yizhuang by chance, and Yuying said to her after curious questioning, There are always people cheating here, and the sixth young master Li Yunyi asked her to catch it.Xiyan was so curious that Yuying told her the date of the next arrest, July [-]th.

So, Xiyan went to Houfu Yizhuang on July [-]th, but it was Yuying's corpse that Xiyan saw again that day.

Later asked Li Yunyi if he asked Yuying to go behind Yizhuang to arrest people, Li Yunyi replied: Yuying mentioned before that some of the servants in the house seemed to have crossed the line, so she let her manage it.

Besides, Li Yunyi didn't want to touch the closed gates behind Houfu Yizhuang.There used to be a group of good hunters that Li Yanqing and himself found from all corners of the country lived there. After Li Yunmo fell off the cliff, Li Yunyi dispersed those people, and the Nanshan hunting ground never went there again.

From this, Li Zhongnan made a bold guess——

Li Zhongnan felt that Yu Shenghan and Li Yunyi were two extremes.Yu Shenghan never trusted anyone, but Li Yunyi trusted others too much—especially the so-called brotherhood.

Li Yunyi wanted to seal it up, but Li Yunmo wanted himself to remember that although he didn't know how he survived, he chose to hide in that humiliating place.Letting the heavy stick of physical disability swing on his chest day and night, he wants to forcibly engrave this humiliation on the door of his heart.

Back home that day, Li Yunyi directly told himself that he knew his false identity, but he still accepted Li Zhongnan as his eighth brother. Li Zhongnan asked why, and Li Yunyi replied: I had an agreement with that child before, and I Has never been a discredited person.

So there was the scene of the dinner party on July [-]th.

That jade pendant was a token of his master Jiangshan Jade Physician Li Xianzui, and it was precisely because of that jade pendant that Amon became Li Zhongnan and the eighth young master of the Li family; moreover, Li Yunyi also had a piece of the same jade pendant.

If he couldn't take it out, he would naturally die under Qu Yeliang's sword that night.

"Yuying's body was also made by you, and you threw it in the open space?"

Li Yunmo was noncommittal: "Of course, if it wasn't like this, when would you find out about Li Yunde's crimes? You may have to let him be arrogant for several years. Bees are poisonous, and you don't need to thank me for eliminating harm for the people."

"Does Twelfth Brother sincerely hate evil, or is it to break Sixth Brother's wings?" Li Zhongnan finally saw clearly the wheelchair under Li Yunmo, "Although Seventeenth Brother is surly and vicious, you can't know that he is close to Sixth Brother. In order to get Seventeenth Brother into the water, you calculated the date of his return to the mansion. But you made a mistake this time. Because of the Yang family's destruction of the family and the martial law in Zhenjiang, he was delayed on the road for too long. You know There are two Beijing officials in the mansion, and they also know that I will return to the mansion suddenly, so you have to start your plan in advance."

Li Zhongnan paused: "So, for you, Yuying's death is too early.

"interesting."

"Your people imitated how the Seventeenth Brother treated Dan Ti and other people who had worked for the Seventeenth Brother before. They played tricks on Xuanxu, cut Yuying's tongue, and stabbed her to death with a needle. Those needles are skillful, so they must be proficient. Acupuncture points know how to teach people to die instantly, but you..."

"In order to cover up the crime, your people chose Fu Er. Disclose the big news to Fu Er who is not doing business in advance, and let him ask Fu Er for money. Under the instigation of your people, Fu is naturally dissatisfied. After all, his final The purpose was Fu Er's clothes, or his identity. Therefore, Fu Er was tied up, and at night when the banquet was held, he sneaked into Li's mansion to steal. So your people calculated this and arrested Fu Daxing. Force him to steal the inkstone of the Seventeenth Young Master, spoon it after the dead Yuying, and then throw the body for us to find."

"I don't know why, the inkstone was not left on the scene, or it could not have been left on the spot. By mistake, because of me, I helped you invisibly. Even so, these are all yours In calculation."

"The reason why the building was set on fire was because the inkstone and Fu Da were actually near the dense bamboo garden at the time, right?" Li Zhongnan continued, "Fu Da did not follow your plan, so you asked your people to burn the building and transfer everyone Pay attention, so that Fu Da can take advantage of the chaos and leave the house?"

"As for the person who does these things for you, who else is there besides your rather stupid bamboo horse?"

"Fu Da was silenced, and the home was arranged to look like a robbery. The purpose was not to frame Fu Er, but to let others 'discover' Fu Da like 'discovering' Yuying. Naturally, Mr. Jueyan also noticed that something was wrong. After your people find out Hurt him. Later, in order to ferment the matter of the Seventeenth Brother, you spread the news under the guise of Yin Jiuchu. It is a pity that Yin Jiuchu is not a nerd, and he naturally found that something was wrong. The next step is to destroy Yin Jiuchu's mouth?"

"Yin Jiuchu?" Li Yunmo frowned, "Hao Dianluan is Yin Jiuchu? Why should I kill him?"

"The matter has come to this point, you want Yin Jiuchu to be a living target, why can't you accept him as a scapegoat?"

Li Yunmo was stunned for a while, then laughed like a maniac, his face was ferocious, and his whole body convulsed: "Hahaha, Li Zhongnan, you are too much, how can you blame me for everything? It's interesting, it's really good , he Li Yunyi finally came to retribution, now I want to see how you can protect your Li Mansion!"

"I'm not the guardian of the Li family."

"I also guessed that your coming back for no reason is not just to put aside your grievances." Li Yunmo raised the corner of his mouth, "I can't guess your purpose, this round, you and I are even.

Facing the thoughtful looking handsome young man in old blue robes, Li Zhongnan couldn't help laughing: "I'm not from the same way, who wants to get even with you."

"However, there are still some things I can't figure out." Li Zhongnan said again, "First, how did you do it to encourage Jinling literati? Second, why did you choose Yuying?"

It would not be impossible for Li Yunmo or his bamboo horse to report the news to the literati. After all, such a storm can be stirred up in a short period of time. Without the help of others, Li Zhongnan would not believe it.But from the conversation just now, it seems that apart from Li Yunmo and Ting his idiot bamboo horse, no one else seems to have participated in this incident of framing.

This made Li Zhongnan a little confused, always feeling that there was something wrong with him.

"You are smart, but I was really wronged. I didn't admit that what you said was the truth." Li Yunmo said, "Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of killing Li Yunde from the beginning to the end."

"What are you going to do to Brother Six next?"

"Brother Six is ​​really kind, but he promised you something good." Li Yunmo said, "Let's sell you again."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunmo took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Li Zhongnan: "Li Yun is in trouble."

Li Zhongnan was very disgusted with Li Yunmo's use of his elder brother's name. He didn't know what kind of resentment he harbored in his heart, but he felt that he was a bit more careless than his thirteenth and seventeenth brothers.Li Zhongnan took it a few steps forward, read the letter, scanned it roughly, and looked a little ugly: "When did you receive it. How can you intercept such a thing privately?"

Li Zhongnan saw that the letter was inscribed, and it seemed that several days had passed. Although it seemed to be an ordinary letter from home, anxiety and uneasiness rushed to the face between the lines.

"I didn't intercept this. This secret letter suddenly appeared at the door of my house three days ago." Li Yunmo ignored Li Zhongnan's accusation, "Besides, if Li Yunhong really wanted something from the Li family, this trick won't work, he must Seek other ways."

Naturally, Li Zhongnan didn't believe Li Yunmo's rhetoric, and felt displeased that he was giving him wings. He was obviously trying to make trouble on purpose and obstruct it, so he turned around and left.

After Li Zhongnan left, Li Yunmo also frowned, his clenched knuckles turned white, his whole body trembled, and the wheelchair creaked one after another.Li Yunmo forced himself to concentrate and think for a while, but he didn't know where to say: "Jiang Dancheng, I want to see your brother."

Sure enough, as Li Yunmo said, not long after Li Zhongnan returned to Qiushui Pavilion, Li Yunyi's maidservant came to call for him.

"Brother Six."

"Zhongnan, sit down." Li Yunyi's eyebrows were full of worry, and when he saw Li Zhongnan, he forced a smile on his lips, "It's not for other reasons that I asked you today, just take a look."

Li Yunyi handed the letter in front of Li Zhongnan's eyes.

"This." After reading just a few lines, Li Zhongnan's hands trembled slightly, and the palms of his hands were sweating, "How could it be so serious?"

"Although Li Yunxuan has nothing to do with this mansion, since I have something to ask for from Li's mansion, I can't just sit idly by. I can only let you go." Li Yunyi sighed sadly, "I don't want to lose anyone anymore."

Li Zhongnan saw a few silver threads on Li Yunyi's temples, combined with the fragility in his words, Li Zhongnan vaguely understood where the "goodness" of the sixth brother in the master's mouth came from.Thinking of this, Li Zhongnan couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, and subconsciously responded: "Sixth brother, I understand."

Li Zhongnan knew very well that the matter of the [-]th brother would hurt Li Yunyi very much. He wanted to comfort him a few words, but he couldn't say anything. He just wanted to see how the [-]th brother would feel if he saw Li Yunyi in such distress. In desperation I had to get up and say goodbye.

The sadness and anger in Li Yunyi's eyes were difficult to detect, but the luster in the peach blossom eyes lost their luster in just a few days, and they were covered with a layer of disillusioned ashes: "Zhong Nan, you are with Professor Han on this trip. Rest assured."

Li Zhongnan closed the Zhu Fei behind him, raised his eyes to look at the sky, obviously it was the night of March and Five, it should be full of flowers and moon, but for some reason, his eyes were full of sadness.

Xiao Zhouheng stood supporting a tree not far away, watching Li Zhongnan in a trance.

The man had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was only wearing unlined clothing. He seemed to be thinner than himself a month ago, but even more profound.Li Zhongnan looked at him with a smile, took a few steps forward, and took the man's right hand.

Xiao Zhouheng did not refuse.

……

Later, someone wrote, Li Yunde, Yunde, Wuzi, from Jinling.Shao Cong, less than ten years old, has mastered thousands of volumes.He has a lonely personality, strange behavior, and a bloodthirsty playboy. The sage heard it, and Longyan was furious. In August of the fifth year of Shuofeng, he was sent to the capital.

……

On August [-]th, the moon phase is still full.

In the middle of the night, Li Mansion's other courtyard.

Xiao Zhouheng got up after hearing Bie Hong's even breathing.Approaching her side, a lantern suddenly exploded somewhere, don't be startled in a dream, turned his head, smashed his mouth, and babbled a few words.Xiao Zhouheng thought to himself: This time, give Biehong a larger dose, as soon as he raised his hand, some powder was scattered.

After finishing all this, Xiao Zhouheng pushed open the half-closed window, jumped up to the roof, and left Li's residence all the way.

Looking from a distance, there is a person over there, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, dressed in dark red casual clothes, with a four-foot black belt around his waist, and a pair of black boots.Looking at this attire, one knew that this was a member of the Imperial City Division.

Xiao Zhouheng called out: "Tang Luozu, I've been waiting for a long time."

Tang Chang saluted and said, "I have seen the Shaocheng of Honghe Temple."

After the ceremony, Tang Chang looked Xiao Zhouheng up and down, glimpsed some of Xiao Zhouheng's sick mood through the moonlight, the corner of his mouth curled up, and said mockingly: "I heard that Honglu Temple never makes mistakes, isn't it? How could you be in such a mess this time?"

"Accident." Xiao Zhouheng's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was hard to distinguish, "I want to ask what's going on?"

It was not a surprise to Xiao Zhouheng that Li Yunmo was still alive. He had no intention of participating in the struggle of his sons and heirs, but he was deeply moved by Li Yunmo's paving the way. , and even Li Zhongnan's self-defeating paperweight, he guided himself as a public writer to find Li Yunde all the way, and found that Li Yunde had infiltrated into the grid that Zhong Bugui was proud of, and became the one who was most likely to disrupt the situation .

Even in order to let him go according to Li Yunmo's plan, Li Yunmo's accomplices even exposed their identities and stabbed him in the back.

If he was a real official writer, he would definitely report such things that endanger the clock's return in detail.

In this way, if Zhong Bugui targeted Li Yunde, Li Yunyi would definitely abandon him and cut off his own wings.

Therefore, the purpose of Li Yunmo's design of this circle was achieved.

It is worthy of being Li Chongheng, the conspirator who everyone in the world sighs with regret.

Unfortunately, I am not a public writer.

But why did it still end up in such a difficult situation?One answer is that Li Yunmo himself was plotted by others.It is not a coincidence that the situation is out of control, but the inevitability of the person behind the scenes.

Naturally, Li Yunyi also noticed something, but unfortunately, the original plan of punishing the old and the wrong has also come to nothing.

"It's not our fault." Tang Chang shook his head and said, "It wasn't the Holy One who attacked Li Yunde, but it wasn't the people from Zhong Bugui either."

Xiao Zhouheng said: "I can't even believe this, but do you think Li Yanqing can?"

"Whether he believes it or not, this is the truth."

"Is Dantu's extermination case related to this matter?"

"It's not yet clear, but the body of Lou Beiyin, a member of the criminal department, was found at the scene, and the court suppressed the matter." Tang Chang said in a low voice, "The Dali Temple intends to use Lou Beiyin as the main criminal to come here to close the case. Shen Qianhe refused, but who would listen to him, and..."

"And what?"

"Besides, Shen Qianhe has been gambling in Songjiang Mansion recently, and he didn't worry about the case at all. Do you think he is crazy for selling ass."

The Imperial City Secretary is the emperor's confidant forbidden army. Apart from spying on information and patrolling and arresting him on a daily basis, his own existence is to check and balance the Privy Council, and he directly listens to the emperor's orders.Therefore, there are only people in the Imperial City Division who can speak so arrogantly when they are of a low rank.

Xiao Zhouheng himself has nothing to do with the Secretary of the Imperial City, it is all because of the palace examination that he participated in in the third year of Shuofeng - the eve of the palace examination, Xiao Zhouheng was secretly called into the palace, after the Holy Majesty finished asking a few questions, Mo just After becoming a Jinshi and the first degree, he was also given the post of Shaocheng of Honglu Temple.On the second day, he hastily followed Master Guan Qun Fengguan, Minister of Honglu Temple, to a foreign country.

Later I heard that the former Shao Cheng of Honglu Temple died suddenly overnight without warning.

Later, except for the north guarded by Li Yanqing, there was no incident, while the west and the coast were constantly fighting, and barbarians often invaded; United, find out this matter.

Only then did the word "we" in Tang Chang's mouth come into being.

Xiao Zhouheng originally wanted to go to Songjiang Mansion, but unexpectedly Guan Qunfeng changed his voice and sent him to Jinling Li's Mansion in Jiangning Mansion.

Although he didn't know why, Xiao Zhouheng had no choice but to hide his identity and return to Jinling.Later, I heard that the reason why she was absent from the palace examination was that she failed to propose marriage to Princess Zhuo Ruo, and this rumor was released by Shen Qianhe.

And the fictitious Jinshi and the first person that year also became Huan Shixiao.It's still Xiao, but it's Xiao Zhouheng, whose name is also Shen Qianhe Hu Suo.

This account has not yet been settled with that person.

"Tang Chang, you don't want to offend me next time." Xiao Zhouheng and Shen Qianhe were just casual friends. Although he knew that the man was a bit lazy and lazy, he was still very displeased to see Tang Chang defile his colleagues. Master Shen went?"

"Gong Liangwei's youngest son, Gong Liangzan, is one of our people."

"I asked you to stare at Li Zhuoyue who left the house three days ago?"

"Naturally, I really went to find a man. Do you think Li Zhuyue is crazy? The Li family doesn't stay here. She insists on ruining her reputation and running away with a wild man."

"Don't pay too much attention to Li Zhuyue, pay attention to the man beside her." Xiao Zhouheng said, "Have you seen that man before?"

Tang Chang pondered for a while and said: "That man's appearance is not bad, he must be from a poor family background, that's why he and Li Zhuoyue made such a plan, but I don't think he is a servant of Li's family, but how can he recognize Li Zhuoyue?"

"That man's name is Yang Jie."

"How do you know? This name...isn't that the son Yang Daishan has been looking for?" Tang Chang paused, "No, Yang Jie is dead, on the night of extermination, and Yu Ruyi has already confirmed that man His identity is Yang Jie."

Xiao Zhouheng's heart sank, Yang Jie is a master of acting, so he pretended to be like that, but it's a pity that he only has a superficial appearance and no bone appearance, so he let himself catch the flaw when they first met.It's just that I didn't expect that I would be careless, and I would still follow his way and get beaten.

"If I ask you to check, you can check it out." Xiao Zhouheng said, "Yu Ruyi and Yu Shenghan are cousins, how trustworthy do you think he is?"

"Yu Shenghan?" Tang Chang said, "Didn't your father befriend Yu Shenghan before he was alive? He is also one of us, why can't he be trusted?"

"Where did he go after leaving the court for five years? Is it life or death? Why is he working hard?"

Tang Chang was at a loss for words and couldn't answer.

"Yu Shenghan is the one to be wary of. Not only does he have martial arts skills, but also his ability to reason is unparalleled. In just a few years, he has jumped from the eighth-rank county captain to the second-rank minister. Do you think he is just lucky? Furthermore, although the Holy Majesty never said it clearly, the people of the Imperial City Division have been looking for the trace of that person. It has been five years, but they have not found half of it." Xiao Zhouheng said, "People who get along with each other will change day and night, let alone a person. Tang Chang, who has been away for five years, how dare you guarantee that he is still loyal to the Holy One?"

Of course, Xiao Zhouheng had heard the gossip and rumors of Yu Shenghan and today's sage, and of course he was willing to believe that Yu Shenghan was a virtuous generation of sages, but what a pity?If he was negligent again, it would not be as simple as being beaten.Besides, since ancient times, there are countless things that people who love each other have turned their eyes against each other. Who can escape the tricks of ordinary people?

can not carry on.

"Of course I don't have the guts, I'll just listen to you, and I'll take care of what you tell me." Tang Chang sighed, thinking that Xiao Zhouheng was still an official scholar after all, and he was thinking farther than himself. He asked again, "Does Xi Zuo have a clue?"

"No, I think your information is wrong."

Xiao Zhouheng had been in Li's residence for several months, but he didn't even notice the slightest sign of subtlety, so of course he doubted Guan Qunfeng's reason for this move.The so-called world affairs, youthful heart, although Xiao Zhouheng was unwilling, he still handed Tang Chang a piece of letter paper, which listed the names and surnames of several suspicious people.

Tang Chang took the paper, swept it hastily, and put it in his arms: "Boast, thanks to the fact that you are still from Honglu Temple, do you have no trust in your Master Guan, or are you questioning the ability of the Imperial City Secretary? "

Xiao Zhouheng didn't want to argue with him, and lowered his eyes: "Besides those few people, there is one more person who needs to be investigated."

"who?"

Xiao Zhouheng only felt the sharp blade pass by his chest, and he was about to be out of breath, but he personally stabbed the knife in his chest. Finally, under Tang Chang's watchful eyes, he said slowly: "Li Zhongnan."

……

Yuying's death ended with the disappearance of the [-]th young master Li Yunde. This incident finally reached the ears of Li Yanqing. In the subsequent battle, he failed to personally lead the troops. Because Li Yunjing's supporting troops arrived a little late, the city had to give up two cities.

Ever since the conversation with Li Yunmo, Li Zhongnan faintly felt that all of this had something to do with the Jiang family. For one thing, Jiang Yu, the young son of the Jiang family, is Li Yunmo's bamboo horse. Although he is a little crazy, he still has some martial arts.Secondly, I later found out that the porcelain vase was given to Jiang Lan by Li Yunyi.If he came to the door to question him, Jiang Xi would naturally avoid the vase matter or find a scapegoat.

In addition, I didn't know anything about Jiang's house in my mind, so I had no choice but to give up without any clues.

As for the matter of Li Yunmo still in the Li Mansion, Li Zhongnan felt that it was right and wrong, and that he really couldn't intervene in it, so he only told Qu Yeliang euphemistically later, including being wary of Jiang's Mansion.

As for Yang Jie, who he suspected that day, he also disappeared after being beaten by him.Of course, Li Zhongnan's suspicion of his identity was not just guessing. When he learned that a tragedy had really happened in Yang's residence, he told Yang Jie about it, but he didn't respond, and he was still acting like he was usually foolish.

Later, when he found out that Yang Jie had inexplicable feelings for Li Zhuoyue, Li Zhongnan felt strange.

So much so that setting up an array for himself aroused his palpitations, and caused Xiao Zhouheng to be injured, which made Li Zhongnan even more certain that Yang Jie must have some ulterior purpose.

He even felt that even the destruction of the Yang family had something to do with him.

It's a pity that there is still the matter of Taobai's bank. As for Yang Jie, Li Zhongnan asked Wei Xiaoluan to investigate the details of that person.

Furthermore, the words come back again. In fact, Li Zhongnan can politely refuse Li Yunyi's request to let him go to Taobai Bank. another trap.According to Li Zhongnan's guess, the family tree was set somewhere in Li's residence. For the sake of the family tree, the Li's residence should not be messed up.And the prerequisite for Li's mansion to not be in chaos is that Li Yunyi can't have anything to do.

As a result, Li Zhongnan will go if he doesn't go.

When Xiao Zhouheng was still thinking about his future plans, he heard about Taobai Bank from Li Zhongnan.Xiao Zhouheng didn't answer the words, Li Zhongnan also understood in his heart, and also agreed with a smile that he would send Xiao Zhouheng out of the house someday.Xiao Zhouheng didn't want to get involved in these matters, and was determined to break away from the Li family.

Besides, he also needs time to think about his relationship with Li Zhongnan.

So he first went to Li Yunyi to complain. After Li Yunyi found out that he had been beaten by Li Yunguang, he swore to the death why he shot him. Li Yunyi had to punish him heavily and drive him back to Wuling.

Therefore, when Xiao Zhouheng settled the monthly money from the accountant, he got a lot of money.

Thinking about living in the Li Mansion these days, at first it was all right, and I could write a book or calm down and look up details.But after Li Zhongnan returned to the mansion, one trouble after another, he was cleared of his suspicion, and then he was suspected of being Zhong Bugui's official writer for no reason. Not only was he beaten, but he worked hard to compile I lost my manuscript, if this continues, I'm afraid I'm going to die.

After Bie Hong knew that Xiao Zhouheng was going to leave, she had been crying for several days, and Xiao Zhouheng had no choice but to persuade her gently.After all, if there is no accident when I leave the mansion this time, I will never see Bie Hong again.Thinking of this, Xiao Zhouheng felt that he was not popular on weekdays, but he became cute.

Although he wanted to leave the Li Mansion, he was still a little bit reluctant after all.

Everything around is retreating one by one, such as corridors and pavilions, emerald high-rise buildings, jade warm flowers, and when Xiao Zhouheng arrives at the door, he is the only one left.

Li Zhongnan saw that Xiao Zhouheng's brows seemed to be filled with ink, and he felt that he had committed the common fault of literati singing the wind and playing with the moon, so he smiled and took Xiao Zhouheng's hand: "Don't look, Let's go, I'll see you off."

Xiao Zhouheng was led over by him, but saw the sword box behind him, and asked suspiciously: "You send me off, what are you doing with the sword on your back?"

……

Unexpectedly, when he got on the carriage, Xiao Zhouheng realized that he was deceived by Li Zhongnan, and this guy took him to Changzhou capital abruptly.

Not only that, Han Tieyi was also on board the thief boat.But he didn't care, Xiao Zhouheng got angry for a long time before reluctantly accepting it.During the period, the three of them also got a general understanding of this matter: Three days ago, the sixth young master Li Yunyi received a letter from Li Yunhong, in which he wrote that the owner of Taobai Bank was haunted by ghosts in his mansion one after another, and bad things happened again and again.

After all, those who do business and make a living want to make a fortune, so Li Yunhong had no choice but to invite a Taoist priest to do it.After looking around, the senior man in the mansion said: We need to invite a person whose birthday is southeast full sun to sit in the villa as soon as possible.

But Li Zhongnan happened to be suitable, and Li Yunhong heard that he was returning to the mansion, so he turned to Li's mansion for help, hoping that he could come to protect the safety of the bank.

Thinking of the recent turmoil in the world, Xiao Zhouheng felt that this incident must not be as simple as being haunted.Although Li Yunhong has not been in contact with the Li family for many years, and even the word "Li Yunhong" no longer appears in the family tree, why does the [-]th young master Li Yunde have an accident here, and there will be filth there?And just when Li Zhongnan came back?

During the few days in the carriage, Xiao Zhouheng reluctantly came to a conclusion: If it wasn't a great coincidence, then it was that Li Zhongnan and Li Yunhong had some important matters to discuss, or they could borrow Li Zhongnan's It might be possible to bring a word to Li Yunyi.

But what's the point of calling himself and Han Tieyi?

Forget it, anyway, it is impossible to live in Qianzhuang for a long time, and I have no clues on my side, so Tang Chang can maintain the current situation in Jinling.This trip should be an eye-opener, Xiao Zhouheng comforted himself so reluctantly.

"What idle ghosts?" Han Tieyi held the wine pot in one hand and supported his head in the other, looking very leisurely in the slightly bumpy carriage, "Businessmen who seek profit will trust these vain people."

"Dong Chi." Han Tieyi didn't know what kind of wine he was carrying, and it was scattered all over the carriage. Xiao Zhouheng was distracted by Han Tieyi, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve slightly, and asked in a muffled voice, "Did you never drink alcohol?" Have you ever heard of the rich man Li Peizhi?"

"Didn't you tell me that that person was originally the tenth young master of the Li family?" Han Tieyi said, "Why, why did I have to hear about it? My guess just now is wrong?"

Li Zhongnan smiled and took over the words: "Peizhi is the name of the tenth younger brother. After breaking off ties with the Li family, he used the name instead of the name. His original name was Li Yunhong."

"Young master is rare in the world, the name is a good name, but..." In the middle of speaking, Xiao Zhouheng remembered that there was Li Zhongnan in the car besides Han Tieyi. Such reckless remarks were inappropriate after all, so he immediately fell silent. Voice.

Li Zhongnan glanced at Xiao Zhouheng, and seemed to know what he was going to say in the second half of the sentence: "What the world says is not true, how can you believe it?"

Xiao Zhouheng thought he wanted to defend, and mocked: "Then ask the eighth young master, what kind of benevolent gentleman is willing to condescend to end his career, instigate those illiterate farmers to borrow money, get ill-gotten wealth from it, and ruin other people's families."

"It seems to be the same." Li Zhongnan rolled his eyes, and looked at Xiao Zhouheng again as if compromising, "Of course I can't say no to you."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Han Tieyi's hand holding the wine froze in the air, looked at the two of them, and said quietly: "When did your relationship get better?"

These few words stabbed Xiao Zhouheng's brain with pain, and seeing Li Zhongnan's unconcealable smiling face beside him, he said, "What do you mean by this?"

"It's not that you and the Eighth Young Master are at odds. He had a grudge with you on the first day he came back."

"Grudges? Who did you hear? Min Zhan?"

Han Tieyi spread his hands, and showed an expression on his face: "I have reminded him to be cautious in his words and deeds, but he just doesn't listen. You can see that he will still cause trouble in the end."

"Breaking trouble on the upper body?" Xiao Zhouheng felt that Yu Bocheng was really good at imagining, and he made up a story with a beginning and an end with the drunken words of others. A storyteller will definitely be able to make a fortune without worrying about food and drink.

"Isn't that right, why did you treat his face as hurt? It wasn't because he was beaten by Qu Yeliang." Han Tieyi raised his head and drank the last drop, and said, "Sixth Young Master asked Qu Yeliang to go, I heard it all gone."

Xiao Zhouheng was taken aback for a moment, and Yu Bocheng's swollen face immediately appeared in his mind, no matter how he looked at it, it couldn't be done by Qu Yeliang, so he asked, "How can you hear the Sixth Young Master discussing with Mr. Qu? "

Han Tieyi was startled, knowing that he had slipped his words, and hastily avoided Xiao Zhouheng's gaze.At this moment, when the carriage stopped, the coachman said from outside the carriage: "Masters, this is it, I would like to trouble you to move."

Being interrupted, Xiao Zhouheng naturally couldn't ask any more questions.After several people got out of the carriage, they looked a little far away, and all sighed in their hearts: How can this Taobai Bank look like a Taoist temple?

Taobai Qianzhuang's main village leans against the steep Ziliang Mountain on one side. If you want to enter the village, you need to climb dozens of steps.In the colorful autumn, there are fallen leaves all over the steps, singing insects scurrying about, Xiao Zhouheng and the others have no choice but to climb up the steps honestly.

As he walked up the stone steps from the foot of the mountain, while Xiao Zhouheng was panting heavily, he couldn't help but think of some rumors about the head of Li——

It was rumored that ten years ago, the ten young masters of Li's family were forced to leave home and took over the Zhu's bank, turning decay into magic with their own power, not only saving the family, but also making a living.This is the only one in the world, but the things it produces are common to all branches of other banks, and the face is not so big.

In layman's terms, what I do for a living is to pay for classes and collect water debts.

In addition, he also has several tea gardens, directly and semi-monopolizing the tea in the south of the Yangtze River.This kind of direct supply to the imperial court made Li Yunhong sit in the villa, and the moment he opened and closed his eyes, he earned money from the government and the north.

More importantly, he seems to have a close relationship with Mu Wang Qin Zhao.

I don't know how long it has passed, among the winding stone steps, I feel that Taobai Bank is in front of me, and after going up a few more steps, the pair of stone lions more than eight feet high at the gate of the bank will break into everyone's eyes, the suffocating sense of oppression makes me feel Xiao Zhouheng's heart skipped a beat.The door in front of him was covered with Dao talismans, and when the autumn wind swept away, it really vented a bit of ghostly energy.

Walking into the gate, before he could enjoy the scenery in the garden, he suddenly heard Li Zhongnan say: "I forgot something, you go in first." After saying that, he stepped out of Taobai's bank, and a stream of smoke came out. missing.

A man with the appearance of a servant came towards Xiao Zhouheng and Han Tieyi, and after saluting, he wanted to bring them into the manor.

This Taobai Qianzhuang has a unique cave, but there are twists and turns, long corridors, Zhulou painted buildings, bead curtains and rolling rain; a pond in the distance is faintly peeped, with a half-acre lotus pond reflecting the dust on the top, and a thousand tails on the bottom. The shoals of fat fish, together with the velvet trees and rocks, and the layers of rockeries, are no less than Li's Mansion.

"Two sons, please wait here."

"Brother Xiao, who is that?" Han Tieyi suddenly slapped Xiao Zhouheng hard on the back, Xiao Zhouheng almost lost his breath, and reluctantly looked in the direction of Han Tieyi's finger——

It was the end of autumn, and everything was bleak, except for the Taoist talismans that can be seen everywhere, the front yard of Taobai Bank was really full of pet willows and delicate flowers.In the chaotic red rain, Xiao Zhouheng didn't see any figures clearly, and besides, the mystery about Han Tieyi in his heart had not been dissipated, so he didn't want to see it.

But today's Han Tieyi didn't know what was wrong, and he refused to let go: "Xiao Shuting, just take a look."

It was rare to see Han Tieyi yelling his own name, so Xiao Zhouheng reluctantly glanced at it again, but this glance made Xiao Zhouheng stunned for a while: there was indeed a person in Chongyinxiang Path, that person seemed to be only in his early twenties, She was born with a greasy complexion, like a shadow of blue and fine porcelain, without any blemishes.A pair of auspicious phoenix eyes contain winter plums, which seem to reject people thousands of miles away.

He was wearing a bright red ruched gold Qiwan gown, with a white jade finger ring hidden under the cuff.The man's waist is also somehow slender than others, and with the thin golden tassel belt around his waist, it is even more unbearable to hold. When he walks around, he feels a bit like flowers brushing against willows, but it doesn't show any weakness at all. seductive.

Xiao Zhouheng secretly sighed in his heart: he is indeed Beimenghou* and Nanhuangfu.

In terms of outfits and style, the two are really evenly matched.

Li Yunhong obviously also saw the tentative eyes of the two, and walked towards them generously.

"What's so good about it?" From a closer look, the man in front of him is like Lian Zhu Jin Xia who is overwhelmed, but somehow able to afford a whole body.

Xiao Zhouheng felt disrespectful, quickly withdrew his gaze, and made a long salute: "I have seen the big master."

There was no response from Li Yunhong for a while, Xiao Zhouheng turned his head slightly, only to find Han Tieyi standing staring beside him.Xiao Zhouheng wanted to tug at the man's sleeve, but he missed it, and saw Han Tieyi took a few steps forward, raised his hand to caress Li Yunhong's face.

"Snapped."

A loud slap stunned everyone. Li Yunhong was visibly out of breath, his cheeks were instantly stained red, and his chest heaved violently. The slap seemed to use all the strength in his body, making him tremble unceasingly.

Zhu Liyou beside him had never seen such a situation before, and hurriedly helped Li Yunhong, everyone present was dumbfounded, and the world was silent for a while, Xiao Xiao
