Chapter 443 Riding a deer to court

In the trading house, Li Zhao was drinking tea. The maid next to him was making tea for him over and over again. He drank cup after cup. It was not tea tasting, but tea pouring like drinking water. The movements were getting faster and faster, and the tea was entering the mouth more frequently.

More and more frequently.

No one knew what he was thinking, except that he was holding the statue in his hand, but his eyes were deep and distant, as if there were thousands of threads entangled in them.

"Master, Master, the thin dog is here."

Just when he couldn't open his brows, he suddenly heard a very soft sound coming from outside, and then heard even lighter footsteps. It was Skinny Gou who came. After receiving the notification from the person sent by the young master, he connected

Some news was passed on, and I only officially came to see the young master today, but he seemed much more cautious.

"Skinny dog? You're here just in time. Do you have something important to do?"

Li Zhao frowned and quickly called the thin dog over.

This is a relatively private courtyard with not many people around. When Shougou saw the maid beside him, he winked at the young master. Li Zhao understood and asked the maid to leave, and ordered the people around him not to come near.

.

Skinny Gou didn't seem reassured enough, and kept looking around. After making sure it was safe, he leaned close to the young master's ear and said, "Master, did Skinny Gou find out what the Crown Prince discussed in court for the first time?"

oh!

This was exactly what Li Zhao needed, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and listen attentively.

"According to the palace attendants, when the Crown Prince went to court, some senior officials proposed to capture the young master and confiscate the Shanglinyuan. Finally, the imperial censor strongly persuaded them to give up the idea. The crown prince also asked the young master to go to court tomorrow. I am afraid that he has already

There is an edict to go to Shanglin Garden."

Shougou explained in detail what he had learned.

"Is this happening?" Li Zhao's brows furrowed again.

What he had expected happened still happened. Hu Hai couldn't tolerate him and even looked at the trading company covetously. This was not a good sign. Fortunately, he had the foresight to strike first, otherwise he would have been passive.

The reason why I dare not take action now is because of the crisis in food prices. If I were not worried about this, would I have to take action against Shanglinyuan next?

Fortunately, Feng Jie stopped him. Feng Jie was quite a loyal person, even though they had only met face-to-face once.

"Master, I think you can't go to court tomorrow to avoid a long night and many dreams. I will immediately order someone to protect you and rush back to Shanglin Garden in secret."

Shanglinyuan has two thousand elite guards, so its temporary safety is guaranteed.

Li Zhao ignored what Shougou said and asked something else: "Who wants to capture this young master?"

"I heard you are a lieutenant."

"Lieutenant?" Li Zhao thought about it. He didn't know this person, let alone have any contact with him. That meant he was not his enemy, but why did he want to capture him? The answer was obvious. He and the person who wanted to kill him were the same.

Of the same gang.

The lieutenant is not one of the three ministers, but he is the person in charge of the security of the capital. This position has great authority.

In other words, there was not only one person in the government and the public who wanted to die. Da Qin was infiltrated by Xiang Gong's people. It is unknown how much was infiltrated, but it was definitely a lot.

"Okay, I understand. If nothing happens, you should go back to the palace as soon as possible! Don't interact too closely to avoid suspicion." This was to urge the thin dog to leave quickly, completely ignoring what the thin dog had just said.

"Master, no, you must go back to Shanglinyuan"

"There's so much nonsense, get out!"

Li Zhao kicked the skinny dog ​​away and kept cursing him. This guy was usually spoiled and became so little.

As soon as the thin dog walked away with its hind legs, the housekeeper also stepped in with his front legs.

"Young Master, someone secretly told the old slave to deliver it to the Young Master."

The butler's voice was also very low and he was walking in a hurry. When he arrived, he handed over a seriously wrapped cloth.

Li Zhao took it and his expression became solemn again. No one had ever spread rumors to him in such a way, but it appeared now, which meant that this statement was very important and needed to be kept secret.

Moreover, how did the person who spread the rumor know that he was in a trading company?

However, after seeing the butler, he quickly thought of the key point. Someone must have contacted the butler through the merchant and sent the rumor!

Then who wants to spread rumors to him?

He hurriedly opened the cloth, and a piece of paper was revealed inside. It was very small, with not many words, but very neat: In three days, please be sure to rescue Prime Minister Feng and Shangqing Mengyi, and at the same time be on guard against those who harbor evil intentions.

His brows furrowed. There was not much content, and there was no signature. He had never seen this word before. Who spread the rumor to him? Is it a good intention or a hidden intention?

He probably means well and really wants to help.

He had already guessed that Prime Minister Feng was in danger, and that Meng Yi was in trouble, so he could naturally guess it, because there was no news about Meng Yi leading his troops to rehabilitate him during the grand meeting. He was either captured or killed, and it seemed that he was captured at this moment.

Maybe it will be time to convict them in three days.

As for those who harbor evil intentions, they know that someone is targeting them without reminding them.

"Forget it! I'm going to attack him in three days. I wonder how much weight I, the general, still have, and how many officials are still conscience-stricken and still remember Qin Shihuang's kindness in their hearts?"

"Butler, prepare a deer for me. I will ride the deer to court in three days."

Riding a deer to court?

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper gave the young master a strange look, wondering if the young master had made something wrong. It was unheard of for him to ride a deer to court, and could he ride with him to court? It didn't seem possible.

But think about the young master, is our young master comparable to others?

Of course, this was just his complaint, and he didn't say it out loud. He was just stunned when he heard that three days later, Shang Chao was surprised. He came to see the young master this time to deliver a note and to inform the young master of Shanglinyuan's arrival.

"Young Master, I came to Linyuan to report that I have received an imperial edict from the court, asking the young master to go to the court tomorrow to discuss matters."

"Tomorrow's discussion? Hehe! It's just a matter of calling for punishment, don't pay attention to it."

Ignore it?

The housekeeper was confused again. Is the young master already smart enough to resist the order? This young master is becoming more and more difficult to understand.

"Yes, young master, I will take my leave."

"Slow down! Immediately spread the word between Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu of Chu: in three days, break up Dongjun."

The housekeeper was stunned again when he heard this. Now he couldn't understand the young master's words at all. Why don't you break Dongjun in three days? Dongjun is a county, why should you break it?

"Also." Li Zhao picked up the pen and started writing, "Find General Zhang Han and give this note to him."

One day later.

Some cavalry rushed to Shanglin Garden, carrying Li Zhao's imperial edict, and appeared in front of the city gate with great force. However, they were frightened back by the big black murderous weapon.

Two days later, another edict was issued to announce that Li Zhao had entered the palace, but there was still no trace of Li Zhao. The court was now furious, and more cavalry came to Linyuan, but it was just a show. No one dared to step beyond the Linyuan Thunder Pond, even if

More cavalry.

At the same time, food ran out and the whole of Xianyang was in chaos.

And these have nothing to do with Li Zhao. At this moment, he appeared in front of the palace gate openly, with a deer under him, and he was leisurely walking in.
