Chapter 88, take the initiative to attack

"Is this sign really so useful?" Rong Yue finally understood the function of this wooden sign. "Isn't this sign unnamed? It can be used by anyone who holds it? Even if it is easy to use, it belongs to Senior Zhu. . If I hold it, people might think I stole it or robbed it."

Li Yao smiled and said: "That depends on how you use it. Even if it is a sword, it depends on whether the person using the sword is a master. In Shangjing, if you can wear this kind of brand around your waist, even if it is only a first-class, you are considered to be in. Wenxintang's rank is considered to be a scholar, and you can enter for free to participate in their annual literati gathering. If you have this sign, you will be a VIP after entering, and even the master of the hall will have to receive you personally. "

Rong Yue smiled: "Since it's so useful, I'll keep it." Anyway, I'm going back to Beijing in the future, and maybe I'll actually need it sometime. Do you want to go see that literati event?
At midnight, Xue Ying and Feng Ying appeared in front of Li Yao again.

After reporting on the situation these days, Feng Ying said: "Fourth Master, we can't find the person who robbed the Zhennan King Mine. This person's work is so impeccable and seamless that no one can find the slightest trace. It's not the only one. We are looking, and the people of King Zhennan and His Royal Highness are also looking, but all in vain. The prince did not find even a piece of gold or a piece of silver in the palace of Zhennan. Where do you think the King of Zhennan can hide the gold and silver? Go? Can we hide it in the sky? The King of Zhennan insisted that he had never dug a private mine, and he had no gold or silver. He desperately expressed his sincerity and lamented his poverty. The prince could not find the mine, and he could not find gold or silver. , I don’t dare to kill King Zhennan for the time being, but I seem to be planning to escort him back to Beijing for a mission, and want the emperor to interrogate him personally to avoid being suspected.”

Xueying continued: "We found out that His Highness Li Ji also sent people to Nanshan. We don't know what he wants."

Under the faint moonlight, Li Yao's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly said: "Very good! Find a way to kill Zhennan King and Qi Shizi, and draw clues to Li Ji's people, but you have to let people go to the market to promote it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed Prince Zhennan and his son."

Xue Ying and Feng Ying immediately understood and said: "I understand."

They had followed their master for so long, and he finally wanted to take the initiative.In the past, other people harmed each other, but often the misfortunes were directed towards their masters.Their master only tried to clarify the facts and never took the initiative to participate in the overt and covert fights between the princes.

"Go!" Li Yao wanted to kill Qi Shizi as early as on Yuntai Mountain, but he felt that it was not the right time, so he let him go.However, Qi Shizi was so lustful that he offended Rong Yue for the second time and took Rong Yue into custody.Li Yaoli's second attempt only destroyed his lifeblood.This time, people killed Qi Shizi and Zhennan King. This was taking advantage of the situation.Because if you kill them at this time, everyone will only think that they were killed by His Highness the Crown Prince.

"Fourth Master, when will we return to Beijing? Your health seems to have recovered?" Xue Ying and Feng Ying looked at their master's face. Even under the moonlight, they could see that his face had actually grown flesh?

Although the master has a stunning appearance and is the most handsome among the princes, he is also the thinnest.But tonight, the master they saw had not only gained weight on his face, but was also a little rosy.

Such a master seems to be rich and handsome, and he is definitely qualified to compete with the princes for the position of heir apparent.His Highness the Crown Prince personally went south to search the Zhennan Palace this time. If the gold and silver cannot be found in the end, the Emperor will definitely be very disappointed with His Highness the Crown Prince.It is unclear whether the prince will be convicted in the end.

Li Yao's eyes darkened, and he seemed to be in a very good mood: "There is no rush. Let people go back to Beijing to spread the news that the prince rode a horse in the street of Nanshan and almost trampled a child to death. That child was the eldest grandson of the late emperor Zhu Zhuoxi. , called Zhu Wenjin."

Xueying's eyes lit up: "We heard about this matter, but we didn't expect that the fourth master knew better than us. Since the person with the name is Zhu Zhuoxi's grandson, it is even more credible. The influence of the Zhu family in Shangjing The power is not ordinary. In this way, His Highness the Crown Prince will be labeled as having bad moral character." Xue Ying and Feng Ying happily accepted the order and left.

Li Yao quietly returned to the thatched bedroom. Rong Yue was tapped on her sleeping point. He bent down and stretched out his hand to gently untie her.Unexpectedly, Rong Yue, who had her acupuncture point removed, turned over, grabbed his hand, and whispered: "Little thief! How dare you steal my gold?"

Li Yao was stunned and couldn't pull his hand back in time for fear of waking up Rong Yue.But because he heard Rong Yue mention gold in his dream last time, he couldn't help but be curious and asked tentatively: "Where did you get the gold?"

Rong Yue just happened to turn over and sleep on her side. She grabbed his hand and pressed it under her face. Her lips moved and saliva drooled from the corner of her mouth. The saliva fell on the back of his hand. She murmured: "Gold! I am There’s a lot of gold.”

Li Yao was a little stunned again.But then, he smiled with relief.He felt that Rong Yue dreamed of having a lot of gold.He tried to take his hand out, but Rong Yue held it tightly. For fear of waking her up, he sat in front of the bed and let her hold his hand.

He said softly: "Don't worry! I will hand over all the property of the palace to you in the future, so that you can have enough food and clothing in your life. In the future, I will make you the most noble woman in the Wei Kingdom."

A week later, the construction of Rong Yue's courtyard house began.Because Rong Yue could afford the price, she also proposed privately that she would be the boss behind the scenes and pay for Song Bai to build a house every day.Song Bai hired enough workers, prepared the best building materials, and rushed the work for Rong Yue. He followed Rong Yue's words and started building the east wing first.

Li Yao was also shocked after seeing Rong Yue's house plans and drawings.It turns out that Rong Yue is not just building an ordinary house, but a very distinctive courtyard.Courtyards like this are only found in the capital, and few people in the countryside can afford to build such houses.

Li Yao was very glad that he had given Rong Yue 1 taels of silver notes before.A courtyard like this would cost at least 300 taels of silver to build.Rong Yue also wanted to build a school in the village in his name, which would cost several hundred taels of silver.In short, he also agreed with Rong Yue's purchase of land and courtyards and schools.

Li Yao thought that what Rong Yue spent was the 1 taels he gave her, so he was very happy.Although he did not plan to stay in this village for a long time, if Rong Yue liked it and wanted to leave some memories here, he would not object. 1 taels is enough for Rong Yue to spend as much as he wants in a place like this.

The prince wanted people to pry open the mouth of King Zhennan, and have them interrogated day and night. They were tortured, roasted and beaten, and they were teased to pieces.Their wives and concubines were not spared and were all roasted and beaten.However, the final result of His Highness the Crown Prince's investigation was that he only knew that King Zhennan had indeed dug the mine privately and had indeed hidden a lot of gold and silver, but he did not know where the gold and silver had gone.
