"Have you seen it?"
In the garden to the east of Li's house, Li Shan sat on a stone bench in the pavilion, smiling and looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who had an ordinary appearance and seemed to have a simple and honest temperament.
The middle-aged man did not speak, but Fan Shiyi beside him whispered: "Let's visit Alang first, and then go see Auntie later."
After a pause, Fan Shiyi said to the middle-aged man: "Don't worry, my aunt is doing very well. She has no worries about food and clothing. She only cares about you marrying a daughter-in-law and continuing the family line."
The middle-aged man bowed down gratefully. He was Fan Feng, Fan Shiyi's cousin. He had joined the Li family as early as the sixth year of Wude. However, no one including Ling Jing and Su Dingfang knew it. Only Fan Shiyi Only the scout team directly under him learned about it.
Today, Fan Shiyi personally brought people into Zhuangzi. Otherwise, with the strength of Sun Moon Lake's defense, Fan Feng would not have been able to come in.
"After the matter is settled, I will choose a good wife for you and give birth to a few fat boys." Li Shan said with a smile: "Chang'an is a bit difficult, but it is easy to be a local official."
"Don't dare to hope." Fan Feng indeed has no extravagant hope of becoming an official. Fan Shiyi has the capital, but he, the Ye Xianglang, is not qualified.
"Let's talk about it. At least we can live a stable life." Li Shan waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what did you find?"
"During the curfew last night, someone entered the house from the back door and did not leave quietly until the early morning." Fan Feng whispered: "This person's whereabouts are mysterious, and the villain has been following behind."
Are you finally taking action?
Li Shan thought this way. Before he left for Renzhi Palace, he ordered Fan Feng through Fan Shiyi to keep an eye on Feng Lun's mansion... In fact, a few years ago, when Li Shan left for Daizhou to take up his post, Fan Feng Then he started staring at Feng Lun.
After all, none of the other key figures could be kept an eye on, and only Feng Lun was the easiest to monitor... Although this person was from the Feng family in Bohai, he had no experience of leading an army, so he had few capable followers around him, and no troops, or even The family's population is simple, and there are not many servants.
"Where did that person come from?" Li Shan stared at Fan Feng. Today is already July 10th. There are still five days before July 15th as Er Zhuhuan said. It's almost time. They secretly met with Feng Lun in the middle of the night. , must be a key figure.
Fan Feng buried his head deeply and whispered: "Followed all the way to Zhuangzi..."
The expression on Li Shan's face was frozen. The person who had a secret meeting with Feng Lun actually came to Sun Moon Lake?
"Enter Zhuangzi?"
"Um."
Li Shan was a little confused. No matter who this person was, one thing was for sure. He was definitely not an ordinary person, and he couldn't have sneaked in openly anyway. This showed that there might be collusion between internal and external parties.
And Pei Shiju has an informant in Zhuangzi, and there is no need for others to buy people in Zhuangzi... Could it be that Feng Lun and Pei Shiju are colluding?
Could it be that King Qi was a cover and Feng Lun really chose the prince?
Li Shan's brain was turned into mush. If Pei Shiju colluded with Feng Lun, it meant that if something happened at Renzhi Palace, Dong Palace would definitely be involved... But if this was really the case, then it was necessary for Pei Shiju to post an invitation a few days ago. Come to the door yourself?
It's completely unnecessary and can only scare the enemy.
Did Pei Shiju not know at all?
This possibility is not very likely. Pei Ji, Luo Yi, Zheng Shanguo, and Feng Li were all taken away. Although Li Jiancheng still has Wang Gui, Wei Zheng, and Wei Ting under his command, they will never ignore the fact that they have completely devoted themselves to the East Palace in the past two years. Prime Minister Pei Shiju.
Li Shan couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth in the pavilion. If it was really the prince, would it be possible to succeed?
Through Ling Jing, Li Shan roughly knew the arrangements of Li Yuan and Li Shimin, but their arrangements were all aimed at the prince in Chang'an City, while Renzhi Palace itself did not have strong defensive capabilities. The Qianniu Guards on the left and right plus many generals There are only a thousand guards in total.
However, Yang Wenqian, the governor of Fangzhou, was a prince's bodyguard. It is unlikely that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were unprepared. To the west of Fangzhou were Ningzhou and Binzhou.
The governor of Ningzhou is Wei Yunqi, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War of Yizhou Daoxingtai who was recently transferred. The general manager of Binzhou is also Dou Shilun, who was just transferred from Daoxingtai of Yizhou. This person is the youngest son of the former Chen Guogong Dou Kang, and is also an official of Tiance Mansion. One of the eighteen bachelors.
Li Shan was not sure. Dou Shilun had no experience in leading troops, but Wei Yunqi was a famous general... However, Li Shan had discussed with Ling Jing, and Li Shimin also mentioned privately that Wei Yunqi might not necessarily be attached to the East Palace.
After all, there are already six or seven people in the Jingzhao Wei family who are attached to the East Palace, including Wei Ting, Wei Fusi and Wei Yunqi's two brothers. However, in Tiance Mansion, there are only two women from Wei family in the harem of Queen Qin. That’s all.
Although his mind was as confused as a mush, Li Shan found the key point immediately. The key was how the unknown person got into Zhuangzi.
"Fan Shiyi, go check it out."
"yes."
Li Shan has an unsolvable mystery in his heart. Even if Feng Lun and Pei Shiju collude together, even if Feng Lun is secretly a disciple of the prince, there is no reason for that person to sneak into Sun Moon Lake... What is he doing here?
Only half a quarter of an hour later, Fan Shiyi came back with a surprised look on his face. Li Shan was also a little surprised. Was it found out so quickly?
You must know that since Li Yuan officially issued the "Sha Tai Monks and Taoist Edict" last year, Sha Tai ordered monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female crowns all over the country to keep one in each state and abolish the rest. However, the actual effect is very limited... and Li Shan is With the help of this incident, Dongshan Temple was included in the list of temples to be abolished. In fact, Dongshan Temple has become the family temple of the Li family, which also made Li Shan's blockade of Sun Moon Lake very strong.
That person must have been able to sneak into Sun Moon Lake, but he was found out by Fan Shiyi so quickly... Li Shan asked in a low voice: "Who is it?"
"There are many people leaving the village today, but only Uncle Qi returned to the village half an hour ago." Fan Shiyi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He has lived here for several years, and even married Zhao Da's sister. Very soon Understand Zhu Wei's influence in Zhuangzi.
"Uncle Qi?" Li Shan was stunned. He reacted immediately and secretly cursed his own habit for being so harmful.
Once Li Shan encountered something similar in his previous life, he always looked down upon others with evil eyes and prepared for the worst... This was inextricably linked to his origin and growth experience.
Therefore, Li Shan ignored that today was already July 10th, and there were only five days until July 15th. Even last night he was urging his mother Zhu.
By the way, my mother suddenly said this morning that she would go to Dongshan Temple to burn incense and pray for Cui Shiniang... Under normal circumstances, Mrs. Zhu only went to Dongshan Temple on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. It was not to burn incense and worship Buddha, but mainly to visit. Princess Nanyang.
"Go back first and keep staring."
"By the way, before leaving...Fan Shiyi, send him to meet his mother."
"In addition, summon Zhu Ba and Zhao Da."
Two-quarters of an hour later, Mrs. Zhu, who had not yet had time to leave Dongshan Temple, saw her son walking towards the side hall of the temple, and Li Shan also met for the first time his biological uncle Er Zhuhuan, who had not yet officially paid a visit.
