Li Ci invited Monk Hua to sit in the small living room at the back and made tea for Monk Hua himself.
"What do you call me sir?"
He asked in a very polite tone as he placed the teacup in front of Monk Hua.
Monk Hua said: "My surname is Hua, and my last name is also named Shang."
Li Ci smiled and said: "Mr. Hua is here on behalf of the General. I have had a relationship with the General, so I am not an outsider. If the General has any instructions for me, Mr. Hua will just say it clearly." "
Monk Hua said: "The general has nothing to trouble Shopkeeper Li. He just asked me to say hello. If Shopkeeper Li needs some help in future business, please don't refuse."
Li Ci knew why Lin Ye's business in Geling City had to be returned to Yunzhou. If Lin Ye still wanted to make some shady income, he had to deal with him, a local snake in Geling City.
In the past, it didn't take long, only a month ago. With his status, how could Lin Ye send someone to say hello?
Li Ci smiled and said, "Mr. Hua said this politely. Please inform the general on my behalf after you return. As long as it is a matter of business in Geling City, Li Ci will definitely do his best for the general." "
Monk Hua also smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "In that case, I won't bother Shopkeeper Li too much. I still have to go back and report to the general. It's hundreds of miles away, but it's not close."
Li Ci quickly said: "Mr. Hua has just arrived, why rush back in such a hurry? Why don't you stay one night and let me do my part as a landlord? It won't be too late to go back tomorrow."
Monk Hua said: "Seeing that the city gate is about to close, I'd better get out of the city as soon as possible. I don't dare to delay even a day to work for the general."
After Li Ci heard this, he didn't feel like saying anything more, so he personally sent Monk Hua out of the pawn shop.
Soon after Monk Hua left, Li Ci sent someone to follow him secretly to see where the fat man would stay. He didn't believe that the fat man would really leave the city right away.
As a result, news soon came in. His subordinates reported that after leaving the pawn shop, the fat man deliberately went around in a few circles, and then went to Qingyu River. It seemed that he was in a hurry, so he randomly found a brothel and left. Come in and get in.
This matter made Li Ci very happy.
Lin Ye, as a dignified general in Jingzhou, used all kinds of messy people. When the fat man came to do something, he actually went to the Qingyu River to have a good night.
Li Ci's men asked: "Shopkeeper, what should we do? Pretend not to know?"
Li Ci smiled and said: "How can you pretend not to know? Since I said that I will fulfill my friendship as a landlord, I must do it. I will send someone to the brothel to say that I will pay for all Mr. Hua's expenses."
His men asked: "In this case, wouldn't the fat man know that we know what he did?"
Li Ci said: "Just let him know."
He walked to the door, looked at the people coming and going on the street outside, and said: "Tomorrow morning he will know that I have settled all the accounts for him, and I am afraid he will blush. This is not a big deal, it is also a small matter. Everything is in our hands."
When his subordinates heard this, they nodded quickly and flattered him a few more times.
Li Ci wrote another letter and asked people to deliver the letter to Shiqiao Villa outside the city as quickly as possible. It must be delivered personally to the hands of the prince, Wang Luoshen, without delay.
For people like Lin Ye, when Li Ci went to beg him before, he was still indifferent to Li Ci and ignored him at all.
This was ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi. In just over a month, Lin Ye had to take the initiative to send someone here.
Monk Hua really went to a brothel, and he really just chose a brothel and went in.
He was in a similar environment when he was in Dongbo, but relatively speaking, the quality of Dongbo's was a little lower, but the advantage was that it was cheaper.
On both sides of the Qingyu River in Geling, he didn't actually have to choose. If he entered any one, he wouldn't be disappointed.
And when he came to this brothel, he really didn’t just show up, he really wanted to come, and he was really hungry...
People who stared at Hua Monk really didn't see any flaws, because Hua Monk was not acting in the first place. :
This guy entered a brothel, just like a fish that had been thirsty for many years and suddenly returned to the pond, where he had fun.
This shocked and admired the people who were always watching him from outside.
Because Monk Hua barely rested that night, he took a nap in the middle of the night, drank some wine, and worked hard until dawn before he was satisfied.
After just one night, everyone staring at him had the illusion that this guy was thinner than yesterday.
Moreover, they could also see that when the fat man walked out of the brothel, his steps were a little frivolous...
Li Ci is in charge of an extremely secret capital organization, named Banliangqian by Wang Luoshen.
There are many masters in this organization, the most of whom are good at assassinating and tracking all kinds of charlatans.
Nowadays, some of the people who are staring at Hua Monk are from Banliangqian. In fact, there was no need for them to come forward to do the following. However, since Li Ci has already got Wang Luoshen and ordered Banliangqian to be active, he must first let Banliangqian become popular. warm up.
What is unexpected is that after spending the whole night in the brothel, this fat man still had the energy to go to the restaurant to eat and drink again.
In the afternoon, this guy walked away slowly, as if he didn't take Li Ci's payment to him seriously at all.
Li Ci originally thought that the fat man's first reaction after learning about this in the morning was to rush to Lin Ji's pawn shop as soon as possible to have a chat with him.
It turned out that the guy was really big-hearted. After having a bad meal at the restaurant at noon, he left Geling City and walked directly.
When the news came to Li Ci, Li Ci felt a little strange when he heard it. He thought to himself, is this fat man really big-hearted, or is he really a fool?
But he didn't have that much time to pay attention to the fat man. He was ordered by Wang Luoshendan to beat Chen Weiwei.
This matter is much more difficult than staring at the fat man.
Chen Weiwei didn't leave the imperial garden all day, not even the private courtyard. Now the imperial garden was heavily guarded. Even if he managed to win over the strongest assassin in the world with half a tael of money, he wouldn't dare to be too presumptuous in the imperial garden guarded by the imperial army. .
However, if he waited for Chen Weiwei to come out and then beat him, the beating would seem to have less weight.
Chen Weiwei would think that as long as he didn't leave Xin Yanque's side, no one could do anything to him.
This matter must be arranged properly, without alerting the Imperial Army or Xin Yanque, and letting Chen Weiwei know that he cannot afford to offend the Wang family.
After thinking for a while, Li Ci finally decided to use the highest-level people.
These few people were originally reserved to deal with stronger people, such as Hua Lianhua.
Now we can only let Chen Weiwei experience what it feels like to be the top killer among these half a tael.
After thinking this, Li Ci immediately stood up. He took a small, pretty-looking lantern from the table and hung it outside the door of Lin Ji's pawn shop.
Nowadays, there are lanterns everywhere in Geling City, and no one would care about such an inconspicuous little lantern.
However, not long after the lantern was hung up, a vendor passing by with a cart seemed to glance sideways inadvertently, and then accelerated the cart past.
At the same time, Yuyuan.
Chen Weiwei sat on a chair and watched his men sweep away the snow in the yard.
From yesterday to today, the heavy snow stopped not long ago. The snow was already about a foot thick, and I guess the soles of my feet would make a clicking sound on top.
But the snowmen in the yard looked so pitiful.
Because that was not a real snowman, but Huo Mouyuan, the Minister of Civil Service, and others, who had accumulated thick snow all day and night.
After being frozen all night, these people seemed to be dying, but Chen Weiwei didn't allow them to die immediately.
Chen Weiwei still needs them alive to delay time, and needs all forces to increase the price of the benefits given to him.
At this moment, Qiu Yuanqu brought a young man in. The young man was fair and clean.
When he was in his twenties, he saw the snowmen in the yard as soon as he entered the door. He carefully distinguished them for a moment, then shouted out and threw himself at the feet of one of the snowmen.
"Father, father!"
The young man kept shouting.
This man is none other than Huo Xing, the second son of Huo Mouyuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, who is still studying at the Geling City Martial Academy.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be sent abroad after the spring warms up next year. With his father's connections in the court, it will be easy for him to be assigned as an officer in the army with better conditions.
"Chen Weiwei!"
Huo Xing suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Weiwei, who was sitting there drinking tea. The moment he turned back, the bloodshot eyes in his eyes were so sharp in contrast to the white snow.
"Don't yell so rudely."
Chen Weiwei said in a calm tone: "Your father is a person who committed a crime. People who commit crimes should be treated like this. If you think it is unfair, then you might as well think about those who lost their lives because of your father." How can there be justice for innocent people who have no future?"
"I kill you!"
Huo Xing roared and rushed towards Chen Weiwei.
Chen Weiwei said: "If you attack me, your father will suffer even more."
This sentence made Huo Xing have to stop.
Chen Weiwei looked back and said, "Wutong, you have to do something. Otherwise, tell Mr. Huo, what is the purpose of inviting him here?"
Mo Wutong, who was standing behind Chen Weiwei, looked particularly embarrassed and his expression was extremely ugly.
He regretted it now. He felt that he should not go to see Chen Weiwei and should go back to Yunzhou directly.
He was not used to working with Lin Ye, but now he stayed with Chen Weiwei to work.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he met Chen Weiwei, he was empathized by Chen Weiwei's words, and then decided to help Chen Weiwei carve out a world together and carve out a bright road together.
But in the past few days in the imperial garden, he had witnessed with his own eyes the ruthlessness of Chen Weiwei's actions.
"I......"
Mo Wutong opened his mouth, but couldn't say the next words because he saw Chen Weiwei's eyes staring at him.
Chen Weiwei said: "You promised me before, you have to help me well, Wutong, we were the best brothers before, we are now, and we will definitely be in the future."
He stood up, walked to Mo Wutong and said, "This is what a person on duty should do. Whatever position a person is in, he must have a certain attitude and exert his efforts."
Mo Wutong shook his head: "I can't do it."
Chen sighed slightly and turned to look at Huo Xing.
After a moment of silence, he said to Mo Wutong: "I will not force my best brother to do something he doesn't like to do, but I hope you don't blame me, because what I am doing is what I should do in my position. matter."
He walked towards Huo Xing. When he was in front of Huo Xing, he said in a gentle tone: "I will tell you the truth now. These days, I have been persuading your father to let him take the blame alone. I will promise not to be implicated. You, and your eldest brother will not be implicated, I will try my best to protect the Huo family..."
Having said this, he looked at the dying Huo Mouyuan: "But I don't understand why your father has always disagreed. Does he really want to drag you brothers together?"
When Huo Xing heard this, his expression changed again.
