"Hahahahaha! What's so difficult about this? Why do you have to work so hard on such a trivial matter? I can only say that these people under your command are really useless! Didn't they just kill King Zhao?"
The old man might have been really drunk. He burped comfortably and laughed loudly.
"You talk nice, but you don't know what the plan is?"
Although Liu Deng's face was calm, his mouth was not idle.
If this old man boasts so well, it's not like he has no real ability at all.
Even if he is not as powerful as Zhang Zifang, he should be able to help him easily solve the predicament at hand if he is half as powerful.
"The secret of how to solve the problem must not be leaked, but if you get me three thousand copper coins, I promise to handle this matter properly!"
Hearing what the old man said, Liu Dong was stunned. How could three thousand copper coins settle this matter?
"Don't say three thousand guan, I will give you five thousand guan! If you have more, it will be considered as a reward for the gentleman!"
Although for ordinary people, five thousand guan is already a large sum of money, but for today's Liu Deng, it is really a drop in the bucket.
Spend five thousand dollars. If the emperor can be settled, it will certainly be an unexpected surprise.
However, Liu Deng felt that it was actually acceptable to be able to deal with the old man.
"Okay! It's settled. Early tomorrow morning, prepare a carriage for my old man, and prepare a smart boy in green clothes. My old man will go to Beijing first. If you delay for a few days on the road, there will be news within three to five days!"
Seeing Zhang Shisan's resolute look, Liu Deng really hesitated in his heart. Could it be that this old man really had the ability to turn everything upside down?
"Then, I will wait for the good news from sir!"
It was only 5,000 guan. Liu Deng really didn’t believe it. With only 5,000 guan, he could settle the matter of King Zhao’s death!
Seeing Liu Deng agreeing, Zhang Shisan laughed and stretched out his right palm, apparently intending to give Liu Deng a high-five.
However, Liu Deng hesitated for a long time and still did not dare to stretch out his hand.
It's not because I don't believe in the old man's strength, it's because the old man's hands are so greasy that he can't get rid of them.
After you finish eating the meat with your hands, can't you wash your hands and give someone a high-five?
In the end, under the old man's threatening eyes, Liu Deng couldn't hold on. He suppressed his nausea and reached out to give him a three-five.
After high-fiving Liu Deng, the old man stopped being polite and went about eating meat and drinking wine.
What made Liu Deng feel particularly strange was that the old man was obviously drunk and had already begun to talk loudly.
He is the kind of person who looks like he will be unconscious after just one more drink. However, Tnd has already drank three jars of wine, and this old guy is still like this...
"It's really a good wine!"
After drinking the last drop of wine in the glass, the old man touched his belly, put the jade gourd into his arms, and lay directly in Liu Deng's carriage fully clothed...
Liu Deng was also very helpless. This old man was really casual. Wasn't he afraid that he would sell him directly?
In just a blink of an eye, the old man was already snoring loudly, and it seemed that he could no longer stay in this carriage.
Fortunately, it was getting late now, so Liu Deng could only take his guards and stay at a nearby post station.
After carefully inspecting the room of the inn, Liu Deng discovered that such an inn was actually quite profitable. The reason why it was losing money year after year was just that there was something wrong with the court's policy...
After all, as long as you have an official position, all expenses in the inn will be provided by the court. With an identity like Liu Deng, you can bring no more than fifty followers.
Of course, you will be responsible for the excess.
Fortunately, Liu Deng didn't care about this little money. There were three hundred guards accompanying him this time. He didn't want to experience the last assassination incident again.
If it weren't for the powerful guards around him, his life would have been lost last time, so from that time on, whenever he went out, he would always bring enough guards with him.
Not for anything else, just to not give opportunities to those with ulterior motives, so that the guards around him would not die innocently.

An ordinary night like today was a crucial day for the entire Han Dynasty.
Because just tonight, a great man who changed the destiny of a nation in history was finally born.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! The Queen has given birth! It's a boy!"
In the prince's residence, the prince Liu Qi, who was originally under house arrest, was overjoyed immediately after hearing the news.
Wang Quan did not disappoint him, and she gave birth to a son again.
"Hahahaha! Reward! Send someone into the palace to tell His Majesty the good news!"
After seeing the child brought over by the wet nurse, Liu Qi suddenly laughed wildly and said.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please give your Highness a name!"
Taking advantage of Liu Qi's happiness, the woman who had followed Wang Quan for many years immediately said with a smile.
"The child is still so young, what name should I give him? I've thought of a nickname for him, so I'll call him..."
When he said this, Liu Qi began to hesitate and looked around.
I happened to see a splash-ink landscape painting hanging in the corner. I don't know who sent this painting. Anyway, it has been displayed in the East Palace for many years.
There is a thatched hut, a farmhouse, and two shepherd boys driving a cow and a pig. The cow is just that, but the pig is quite naive.
"Let's call him Zhi'er! I just hope he can grow stronger and grow up safely. It's not in vain for him to come to this world and enjoy wealth and honor for the rest of his life!"
"Pooh! Pooh!"
After deciding on the name, Liu Qi held the child and teased it for a long time before returning the child to the nanny.
In Wang Quan's palace, Wen Po and the palace maids who were serving her had also cleaned up for her. After everything was ready, Liu Qi was let in.
The couple had just given birth to a son, so it was natural for them to say something personal at this time. Of course, these words would not be enough for outsiders.
Although it was late at night, the emperor was still delighted when the news reached the palace, even though this was Liu Qi's 10th son.
After all, as a royal family, only prosperous descendants can ensure the reproduction of the royal family. Among the princes and kings in this world, many of them have no heirs, and in the end, the wealth they managed to accumulate can only be taken advantage of by others.
Because of the joy of having a baby, the emperor made an exception and allowed the prince to bring the little prince to the palace for an audience after the child was one month old.
