I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 429
Li Tian fled out of the courtyard in a panic, not even having time to call Wang Fu.

According to Wang Fu's estimate, it would take Li Tian an hour or two to go in this time. Unexpectedly, Li Tian ran out in less than half an hour.

Seeing Li Tian rushing out of the small courtyard and onto the carriage parked outside, Wang Fu also followed closely.

He even opened the curtain, wanting to ask Li Tian what's going on inside.

All the time, the big foot was gradually enlarged in front of his eyes.

After a muffled bang, Wang Fu was firmly kicked to the ground by Li Tian's kick.

There is still a clear shoe print on the fat face.

Wang Fu was very puzzled. While rubbing his face, he said aggrievedly
"Master...what's the matter with you, sir!"

Li Tian's anger obviously hasn't dissipated completely, and he said viciously,

"Hmph, you still have the face to ask what's wrong, I ask you, did you arrange this matter in private!"

Wang Fu's face changed again and again, but he couldn't guess the real reason for Li Tian's anger this time.

He stammered,
"Yes...it was indeed arranged by the old slave, but the old slave just helped find a place, and the other old slaves really didn't know about it!"

Li Tian gritted his teeth and said,

"You really did a great job!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced in the direction of the hut with lingering fear in his heart, and suddenly saw a touch of red floating by the window, and hurriedly glared at Wang Fu and said,
"What are you still doing, why don't you get in the car and leave here!"

Li Tian breathed a sigh of relief when the carriage creaked and left the alley.

"The third lady is indeed a powerful person. I don't know how much of what she said is true and how much is false! She volunteered herself, was she forced by the situation, or was she just acting from the beginning? Woolen cloth!"

After staying away from that alley for a long time, Li Tian still felt a little dazed.

He seemed to feel that since he stepped into that room today, he had fallen into the trap of the third lady.

As for her real purpose of doing this today, Li Tian can also guess one or two points.

If what the third lady told was true, then it seemed reasonable for her to do everything she could to avenge her father.

She wanted to make herself her backer, so it made sense.

But the only thing that puzzles Li Tian is the attitude of the Chai family towards her.

On the one hand, the Chai family counted on the third wife to help them make money and gave her a lot of authority. On the other hand, they guarded her like a thief and were unwilling to help her.

This is very thought-provoking.

After asking Wang Fu about the background of the Chai family, Li Tiancai finally figured out the reason.

Since no one in the Chai family is an official in the court, and they themselves do not have a title, compared to other nobles, although their wealth is not inferior to other family heads, their status is still very different from others.

Under such circumstances, the situation of the Chai family is actually difficult.

It's no wonder why the Chai family would rather give up the third wife than fight for her.

It is said that women have needles in the bottom of their hearts, and today Li Tian finally realized it.

In the past, whether it was the empress, Zhang Qinghuan, or other concubines in the palace, they never dared to keep secrets if they were obedient to Li Tian and asked whatever they asked.

It was the first time that the third lady showed Li Tian how terrifying it would be for a woman to be ruthless.

Although she was only cruel to herself, this kind of cruelty made Li Tian feel a little numb when he thought about it afterwards!

If he was really just Mr. Li, it would be fine to play with her.

But if he, as an emperor, gets involved in entanglements with her, then he will be in great trouble.

However, although Li Tian was annoyed that the third lady was playing tricks on him today, his anger was not very strong, but when he recalled it, he felt a different kind of excitement.

This dangerous and exciting feeling made him intoxicated, and he could not forget it for a long time.

If he hadn't reined in the precipice at a critical moment, it might have looked different at this time.

Wang Fu glanced back from time to time, Li Tian, ​​who was lost in thought, didn't dare to disturb him, he hesitated to speak.

After repeated several times, Li Tian finally woke up from the panic, but before he could open his mouth, Li Tian asked first,
"Do you know about the third lady's natal family? Why did her family fall to such a state?"

Don't look at Wang Fu's submissiveness in front of Li Tian, ​​in fact, he is very respectable in private.

Since he wanted to cooperate with the third wife, how could he not have investigated her background in detail.

So Wang Fu told Li Tian the news he had found out.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the third lady's maiden name is Lin, and she is not a big or small merchant."

"Your Majesty, you also know that the first emperor announced the capital of Beijing in the 18th year of Yongle.

At that time, many businessmen thought that relocation was a good thing to make a fortune, so many people moved their family property from Nanjing to Beijing! "

Hearing Wang Fu mentioning the 18th year of Yongle, he suddenly thought of Tang Sai'er. She happened to be involved in the incident at that time. While feeling strange in his heart, he couldn't help but start to fantasize.
"Could it be that the third lady's father is colluding with the White Lotus Sect!"

Sure enough, Wang Fu continued, confirming Li Tian's guess.

"The 18th year of Yongle was a very chaotic year, and the largest riot broke out since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

However, although the civil unrest was quickly suppressed by the imperial court, the bandit leader Tang Saier and others ran away. In order to catch these bandit leaders who caused trouble, the late emperor established Dongchang in anger!
But who knows, Dongchang's power is too powerful. They took advantage of the trust of the late emperor and used the excuse of chasing down the rebels to kill many innocent people and officials! "

Hearing this, Li Tian frowned slightly.

"Unexpectedly, the establishment of the East Factory has something to do with the uprising of Tang Sai'er and others!"

But he guessed that the matter of the third lady might have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, but he didn't expect that it was also involved with Dongchang.

"Could it be that the father of the third lady was one of the people killed by Dongchang?"

Wang Fu nodded and said,
"That's true, because Lin Dong, the third wife's father, and Lin San, the bandit leader, are distant relatives in Dongchang.

He was imprisoned, framed as one of the bandit leaders, and tortured for more than half a year. In the end, he failed to survive and hanged himself in Zhao Prison. "

After getting confirmation, Li Tian slapped the low table in the carriage violently, causing the teapot on the table to crackle.

"Hmph, those bastards in Dongchang have done countless dirty things over the years. I'm afraid the matter of the third wife's family is just a trivial one of them!"
