The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 189 The Mysterious Mr. Lanyue

Naturally, Situ Rui was the last to know about this matter, and he could only see the part that Xu Qiushui and Li You wanted him to see, and he couldn't see the rest at all.

Situ Rui: "The disciple taught by Tang Zhongze is indeed loyal to him, Tang Zhongze. Why has he ever been loyal to the imperial court? Back then, I made an exception and reused him because he was a talent. His political achievements in Yongzhou over the past year can be regarded as good. Unexpectedly , He showed his true colors when something happened. After all, he was born in the Tang Sect, so he can't be reused!"

Situ Rui was successfully distracted by Li You's words, so he no longer entangled with Lin Yong's affairs, and instead became angry at Tang Zhongze.

Hearing this, Li You thought about it secretly, and said, "But your majesty, Mr. Zuo Xiang is a veteran minister of three dynasties, and he was an official in the same dynasty as him. I still know about him. Although Zuo Xiang has a bad temper , but the character and official rank are trustworthy. He is not the kind of person who will harm the interests of the court. Although Lin Yong was personally selected by the emperor, the emperor also knows that Yongzhou has a special geographical location and is the most important place for water transport. Since the emperor If you have doubts in your heart, you still have to check it out to be at ease."

After listening to Li You's words, Situ Rui nodded and said, "What you said is somewhat reasonable. These days, the flood in Yongzhou has caused me a lot of trouble. In addition, that old Tang Zhongze has repeatedly got involved with me because of this incident. Nao, I also plan to send an imperial envoy to the area of ​​Yongzhou to provide disaster relief, and investigate Lin Yong's matter by the way."

"The emperor is holy." After hearing Situ Rui's words, Li You probably had some calculations in his heart.

"Do you have any candidates worth recommending?" Situ Rui asked suddenly.

Li You paused, and said cautiously: "The candidate for disaster relief needs to be carefully considered."

Situ Rui nodded as if he had figured out something.

Li You then resigned.

……

As soon as Li You returned to the mansion, the servants in the mansion whispered to Li You: "Master Xiang, there are people from Yongzhou, and they are waiting in the side hall."

After hearing what the servant said, Li You paused, turned and walked towards the side hall.

At this time, there was a man dressed in black who looked like a bodyguard waiting in the side hall. Seeing Li You coming over, he hurriedly saluted: "See the Prime Minister."

The person who came was called Zhu Yun, and he was Lin Yong's personal bodyguard.Lin Yong asked Zhu Yun to come to the capital in person, and Li You was somewhat surprised.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down." Li You said, after the man sat down, someone brought tea immediately.

After the other servants were dismissed, Li You asked, "How is the situation in Yongzhou now? What did Lin Yong send you here for?"

Now that the situation in Yongzhou is on the cusp, according to Situ Rui's suspicious character, if Situ Rui knows that he has a close relationship with Lin Yong, he doesn't know how many more troubles will arise, so Li You is a little unhappy.

"My lord, He Qingwen in Yongzhou is now investigating Zhengyan. My lord is dealing with He Qingwen. My lord is afraid that He Qingwen will catch clues when others pass on the news, so I let my subordinates go to the capital in person." said the guard Zhu Yun.

"You still have the nerve to say that it's just He Qingwen, and you can't figure it out. Let him find out the evidence and let him disclose the news to the capital. Let Tang Zhongze impeach Lin Yong in the court, the truth is almost overwhelmed." I can't stop, how do you guys do things?" Hearing Zhu Yun's words, Li You became furious.

Although he lowered his voice, he still said with a lot of anger in his voice, "Fortunately, the emperor has always had a deep prejudice against the left minister Tang Zhongze. He didn't believe Tang Zhongze's words, so this matter can be temporarily suppressed. But the emperor has always been very suspicious. Now he has become suspicious and wants to send someone to investigate your family. If you act carelessly, you will be looking for your own death."

"Master Xiang, this matter can't be entirely blamed on our lord. Our lord has been working under the hands of Mr. Xiang all these years. Doesn't Mr. Xiang know the methods of our lord when he cooperates?" Zhu Yun heard the meaning in Li You's words. With the intention of blaming, he said a little aggrieved——

"At the beginning of He Qingwen's investigation, our adults sensed that something was wrong, so they sent killers to assassinate He Qingwen. But who knew that an organization called Lanyue appeared out of thin air. They not only killed our first group of people, but also They are all protecting He Qingwen. Those people are masters of the rivers and lakes, and the people we send out can't even get close to He Qingwen."

"As for the official letter sent to Beijing by this memorial to Tang Zhongze, we didn't stop it even if we tried, and they probably did it. Fortunately, there was a prime minister in Beijing who temporarily blocked it. This time the villain came to Beijing It is also for this matter that we came to see Master Xiang, and our lord wants to ask Master Xiang to help us find out what is the origin of the Lanyue organization, which is so powerful."

After hearing Zhu Yun's words, Li You frowned and said, "Lanyue? Yongzhou is your lord's territory. These people came out of your lord's territory. Does your lord know nothing about his identity?"

Zhu Yun had a look of shame on his face: "The organization called Lanyue seemed to appear out of thin air overnight. After the flood, they opened charitable halls and porridge shops, provided free medical care, medicine, and porridge to the victims of the disaster. , the status in the eyes of the common people is detached. Our adults have also sent people to investigate, but we only know that the leader of the Lanyue organization is called Lanyue, and everyone else is called Mr. Lan, but this person is very mysterious in his behavior, no one knows I’ve seen how he looks, and I don’t even know if he’s a man or a woman.”

Li You frowned deeply, and Zhu Yun had the courage to dismiss him and said, "When Lanyue appeared, our adults didn't pay attention to it. After the matter of He Qingwen came out, we found out that something was wrong and we had to send someone to investigate. But we spent a lot of manpower I went out, but I still didn't find anything. Those people seemed to appear out of nowhere, without any trace. That's why our family members asked me to go to the capital to ask Mr. Xiang for help. I want to ask Mr. Xiang to use his contacts to check. Lanyue's details."

After hearing Zhu Yun's words, Li You pondered for a while and said, "I know about this matter. I will send someone to investigate about Lanyue's matter. It's just that when you return to Yongzhou, you will ask your adults to reconcile the building within a certain period of time." The evidence of the dam should be handled swiftly, without leaving any traces. The emperor is suspicious after all, and he will send imperial envoys to Yongzhou for disaster relief and investigate Linyong's case in a short time. I will try my best to recommend our people to go to Yongzhou , In terms of time, I will try my best to procrastinate in the court, and try to give your adults some time to deal with this matter. Also, He Qingwen must not stay, no matter what method is used, He Qingwen must be let disappear, you know?"

Zhu Yun quickly said: "That's it, the younger one will thank Xiangye on behalf of our family. I will go back to Yongzhou immediately."

After Zhu Yun left, Li You's housekeeper, Sun Gui, said: "This time Zhu Yun went from Yongzhou to the capital, and rushed back to Yongzhou without even taking a sip of tea. I'm afraid the situation with Master Lin is not good. .”

Hearing Sun Gui's words, Li You sneered, and said: "There has been such a big commotion in Yongzhou, countless casualties, and riots among the disaster victims. Although he suppressed them all, he was already scared, and now He Qingwen, can he not be in a hurry? Although the official is hiding it for him, the emperor has already become suspicious, you should clean up all the evidence of our relationship with Lin Yong, and don't leave any traces."

Seeing what Li You said, Sun Gui was a little shocked and said: "What Xiangye means... is to completely withdraw from the affairs of Yongzhou and leave Master Lin alone?"

"I have a close relationship with Lin Yong these years. It is not easy to withdraw completely. In addition, Lin Yong has been in charge of the water transportation in Yongzhou for these years, and the benefits brought to me every year are more than ten times that of other places. How could the official abandon him so easily? However, you have to be prepared for everything. I will try my best to help him pass this test on Lin Yong. If it is really difficult, then I will withdraw in advance. Trapped myself in."

Li You said lightly, his words were full of cunning and cunning.

And Sun Gui listened to Li You's words quietly, and didn't interrupt.

Li You went on to say: "The disaster relief in Yongzhou has been delayed for so long, and the emperor is afraid that he will send a disaster relief minister to Yongzhou in the next few days. The disaster in Yongzhou is not trivial, and the emperor is going to investigate Lin Yong again. Lin Yong Yong is a second-rank official in the court. The imperial envoys sent this time must either be relatives of the emperor, or they must be first-rank officials, so I can't live here. I can't show too much about the affairs of Yongzhou in front of the emperor. Pay attention, you send a message to Lord Xie, and ask him to come to the mansion to talk."

Sun Gui was about to take orders, Li You seemed to remember something, and asked, "How is your empress doing in the palace now?"

"The empress is still the same in the palace. Now the empress has been reduced to the concubine by the emperor and is confined in the palace. The emperor gave birth prematurely because of the empress's fetal gas this time, and blamed the empress. Although the empress gave birth safely Little princess, but she didn't plead for the empress. Madam originally went to the palace to see the empress, but the empress didn't even see her." Sun Gui said.

After hearing Sun Gui's words, Li You's eyebrows flashed with displeasure: "This time, Xuanyin was impulsive. I told her to be patient and not to do anything to the queen easily before entering the palace. But I didn't expect that she would still I ignored my words and didn't listen to them at all. In this case, the empress narrowly escaped death, and it is inevitable that the emperor and empress have opinions on our Li family. Fortunately, Xuanyin was only demoted, and the Li family was not implicated. As long as the Li family is around, the downgraded position will be promoted sooner or later. You pass the news to the palace and let her be patient in the palace and don't be impulsive."

Li You knew about his daughter's personality. She was arrogant and self-indulgent since she was a child, and she would not be willing to be inferior to others. Therefore, he thought that it was Li Xuanyin who deliberately attacked Xu Qiushui with the purpose of replacing her.
