"It seems no one is here today, what a pity!"
"Forget it! Five hundred taels is enough."
main entrance.
All the soldiers looked a little disappointed.
That's right! Under the impression of the great scholar, the soldiers accompanying the Duke of Qing were waiting at the door early in the morning, hoping that there would be people from the Dali Criminal Department.
But it's a pity that Mao doesn't have one.
Lin Bai was very happy when he learned about it. These guys really saw blackmailing Dali officials as a way to make money.
But it didn't matter. He thought that the money would be delivered soon, right?
He wasn't heartbroken at all.
But Fang Daxing and others' flesh ached when they thought of so much money. At this moment, several officials were sitting together, and everyone called them poor. No one wanted to take the money.
Or count on others.
"Master Fang, Xianguan's family really doesn't have that much silver. There is only one thousand taels here, and they were dug out from between the teeth."
"No, I only have eight hundred taels."
It is obviously not that easy to get them to take out the money that has been put into their pockets.
Fang Daxing's eyelids jumped. He originally counted on these people, but now, they are all old foxes, and they count on him instead.
"Master Fang, we cannot be deceived by that prodigal son. What may happen to His Highness the Crown Prince may not happen."
"That's right! That guy is clearly an alarmist."
"Why don't Master Fang go find the Master and ask?"
Everyone looked at Fang Daxing eagerly.
Especially the doctor of the Ministry of Justice who was beaten like a pig's head before, his teeth were chattering, and he obviously wanted revenge.
Fang Daxing had no idea, and he was a little unwilling, so he had to say: "Then ask."
Soon, he arrived at the residence of Dali Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master of Dali has a gray beard. He is obviously a monk but does not wear a monk's robe. Instead, he wears an official uniform and sits on the Grand Master's chair with dignity.
To his left and right were a middle-aged official and a monk.
Fang Daxing hurriedly explained the matter and finally said: "National Master, this man has gone too far to deceive others and blatantly blackmailed me. The official and others really have no choice, so they came to see the Imperial Master."
Dali Imperial Master closed his eyes slightly and turned a deaf ear to Fang Daxing below.
But the middle-aged official beside him snorted, "It's your own decision. Who asked you to ask Princess Zhenbei for questioning?"
Fang Daxing's heart dropped when he heard this.
Because he knows that the money must be obtained, and depending on the situation, it is not certain whether the problem can be solved if the money is obtained.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he no longer dared to neglect, and quickly retreated.
After he left, the middle-aged official continued: "This prodigal son of the Duke of Qing Dynasty is a little different from the rumors. His methods are extraordinary. He not only gained the trust of His Highness the Crown Prince, but also brought the princess of Zhenbei Palace out. To Tenryuji Temple.”
The Grand Master of Dali said calmly: "The key is not him, but the King of Wanxiang. Your Highness the Crown Prince must take into account the relationship between the two countries and give face to the King of Wanxiang. Duan Rongrong is naturally irrelevant."
The middle-aged official said: "But that prodigal son does whatever he wants in Dali, can he just let it go?"
The Imperial Master of Dali asked, "What else?"
"Don't you think it's incredible that a prodigal from another country dares to act so wantonly?"
The middle-aged official asked in confusion: "What does the Imperial Master mean by someone supporting him?"
As he spoke, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "Is it His Royal Highness?"
The Imperial Master of Dali did not answer, only said: "Our Highness the Crown Prince is not ordinary. Before he ascended the throne, he has successively entered into marriages with Li Dynasty and Wanxiang Kingdom. Such big moves are nothing more than to consolidate his own power."
"The prodigal son is right about one sentence. The King of Zhenbei has fallen, and the court is unbalanced. It is normal for His Highness the Crown Prince to want to balance it. This has been the case for emperors since ancient times. But I never thought that our Crown Prince's methods are beyond compare. Beyond imagination.”
The middle-aged official was surprised and said: "The Imperial Master is saying that His Highness the Crown Prince will make use of that prodigal son again?"
Dali Imperial Master said: "Maybe! It doesn't make any difference whether it is or not, just watch it with peace of mind."
"Some people dance too much, so killing a group of them might not be a bad thing."
The middle-aged official nodded subconsciously.
If you dance too much and get carried away with yourself, you will easily bring trouble to the Imperial Master. It is indeed not a pity to die.
The Dali Imperial Master opened his eyes at this time, looked at the monk aside and asked, "How is Duan Zhenglong doing there?"
The monk is one of the three eminent monks of Tianlong Temple, Master Wuwei.
He replied: "I haven't shaved yet, but I can't agree to it."
As he spoke, he paused and then said: "Since returning from Li Chao, Wu Wu has become a little different. He is quite resistant to what we did before."
Master Wuwei nodded, "Lin Qingfeng's Zen poem unexpectedly made Junior Brother Wen give up his ideals for many years."
"This Lin Qingfeng is really nothing special."
The Imperial Master of Dali said: "There is no false scholar under the great reputation. Since he is known as the greatest talent in the world, he is naturally not comparable to ordinary people."
"But it doesn't matter. He can't influence Dali, but Duan Zhenglong and His Majesty..."
The middle-aged official asked in confusion: "Your Majesty? Hasn't His Majesty been seriously ill for a long time?"
Dali Imperial Master shook his head and did not explain. He just said: "I always feel that things went too smoothly this time."
Master Wuwei said: "Although it went smoothly, it is also reasonable."
Dali Imperial Master nodded, "Let's take a look and talk about it later!"
At this time, an entourage came in and said, "To inform the Imperial Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given an order that a banquet will be held in the Royal Courtyard in two days to welcome the Seventh Princess from the Dynasty."
Dali Imperial Master said: "I know!"
The attendant immediately retreated.
The middle-aged official chuckled, "Li Chao is really interesting. Lin Qingfeng turned out to be the son of King Jing. I thought Li Chao was going to rise, but I didn't expect..."
Master Wuwei said: "That's good. Otherwise, if Lin Qingfeng is really in charge of the Li Dynasty, I don't know what it will be like. Now that the Three Kingdoms are getting married, the Emperor of Dali obviously wants to encircle and suppress Lin Qingfeng. Let's move forward and give Lin Qingfeng to him first." Solved, this person is a serious problem after all.”
"Under his leadership, the southwest has changed its appearance. Especially the Battle of Hexi shocked the world and buried 150,000 troops in one sentence. This son is definitely extraordinary."
The great talent's pioneering work in Hexi obviously shocked everyone.
In particular, the victory over the Huns and the burying of an army of 150,000 soldiers were regarded as miracles.
No wonder, apart from miracles, there is nothing else that can explain all this.
The middle-aged official sneered, "No matter how good he is, he is destined to die this time. With the Three Kingdoms blockade, the Southwest will be nothing more than a small area. Let's see how he develops."
Dali Imperial Master also looked a little curious, and then closed his eyes again.
