Director Ji soon came to Qiongji Courtyard: "Young Master, are you looking for an old slave?" He now regards Li Luo as his master, the chief executive of the Hou Mansion, Li Luo is the master of the Hou Mansion, his master is not Is that Li Luo?He had already seen it.And as he was getting older, he also hoped that the position of manager could be reserved for his son in the future.

"You're here. I want you to help me find a house. It doesn't need to be big. It's enough once you get in." Li Luo said, "The location is better. What's the price of the house once you get in?"

"If it's a better location, it will cost about 800 taels once you enter," Ji Guanjia said.Generally, people with a little money will not buy a one-in-one house. The one-in-one house has only one yard, and it is usually lived in one room.Moreover, it is not convenient for the guests to come to the house, and I don't know what the young master is doing.

"What about the two?" Li Luo asked again.

"1800 to 2200." Butler Ji said again.

"Then go buy a second one. At that time, the handicraft workshop of the snack shop will be moved there, and there will be more donations from the charity shop in the future, so we need to make room." Li Luo said.

"By the way, there are currently three shops in the Charity House. The helping shop is managed by the elder brother. I want to hand over the snack shop to Ji Xin for the time being. What do you think?" Li Luo asked.

Butler Ji was overjoyed, but for the time being, he could understand the two words: "Ji Xin will definitely live up to Lord Hou's expectations. But what do you mean for the time being?"

Li Luo was also satisfied that Steward Ji could ask directly, it was better than hiding and not saying anything. "I'm going to Prince Qi's Mansion in the future. Steward Ji, you are getting older. Ji Xin is a good helper. Naturally, I will help my elder brother stay in the Hou Mansion in the future. If Ji Xin takes your place, it is impossible to go to the shop again. I'm busy, don't you think?"

"Your Majesty is thinking about it."

"Do you have a suitable person to recommend? You can follow Ji Xin temporarily and let Ji Xin take him. When he can be alone, Ji Xin can also relax." Li Luo said again.

"Yes, the old slave knows, the old slave will pay attention."

"Well, back off."

The next day

Li Luo entered the palace with the ledger from the help shop, but was taken directly to Qianqing Palace, which is the emperor's bedroom. "This father-in-law, don't you go to the imperial study to see the emperor today?"

"The emperor fell ill yesterday, so he didn't go to court today." Gonggong said.

"The emperor is sick?" Li Luo didn't seem to expect that the tall and majestic Emperor Zhaoning in his heart seemed to have nothing to do with illness.

That father-in-law and Li Luo are also familiar, they were both trained by Eunuch Hai.He looked left and right to see if there was no one there, so he secretly said: "Every few days of the year, His Majesty will get sick."

"Is there any special significance these days?" Li Luo asked.

"Five years ago, Lord Li died at this time, and the civil strife seven years ago also occurred at this time." The father-in-law explained.So the emperor is heart sick.Li Luo thought that he was really unfilial. If it wasn't for this father-in-law's advice, he would not have known that his father's death day was approaching.

In front of Qianqing Palace, the Empress, Concubine Qin, Concubine Zhaoyi, Concubine Qian, and the only four women in Emperor Zhaoning's harem stood there. Seeing Li Luo approaching, the empress first waved to him: "Master Li."

"I'm meeting the empress, ladies and gentlemen." Li Luo saluted.

"Master Li, you don't need to be too polite." The Empress said, "Master Li, you must have come to see the emperor on purpose."

"I'm ashamed, I just found out that the emperor is ill. Although I'm afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest, I have to come to visit the sick." Li Luo said, "Is your empress here?"

"The emperor is in a bad mood today, I can't wait to disturb you, but I am worried about the emperor." The queen said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take good care of the Emperor." Li Luo said, and followed his father-in-law into the room.

On a day like today, even the three princes, whom the emperor didn't want to see, were surprised to see Li Luo.But these days in previous years, King Qi lived in the palace, but this year King Qi is not here.

"Master Li is Li Xu's son." Qin Guifei said softly.

The queen was startled, and immediately understood.Yes, isn't Li Xu also one of the emperor's regretful confidants?

"Young Lord, our family will take you to the cubicle to rest for a while. The emperor is discussing important matters with his ministers." It was Eunuch Hai who came out to pick up Li Luo.

"Thank you, Grandpa Hai." The so-called cubicle was right next door to where they were discussing things, and Li Luo could still hear their voices discussing things through the screen.

Especially according to Emperor Ning's voice, the emperor's angry voice is really terrifying.

"Kou Qi's matter has not progressed so far. What does the Ministry of Punishment do?" Emperor Zhao Ning threw the memorial to the ground fiercely, "Anyone can enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment? Anyone can poison? Then what does the Ministry of Punishment do?" ?”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly knelt down and picked up the memorial, but he didn't stand up: "It was the negligence of the minister. The person who poisoned him was a pawn of the Ministry of Punishment. I have checked his file. He has been in the Ministry of Punishment for six years and there has been no problem. How do you know this time... when he was found later, he committed suicide in fear of crime. It was suicide, not homicide."

"Where's his family? Where's Kou Qi's family?" Emperor Zhaoning asked.

"His family didn't know about him until the incident happened. The old mother was so angry that she was sick. As for Kou Qi, his family members have sent people to look for him in the northwest." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment replied.This is a conspiracy, everyone knows, but the problem is that there is no clue.

"Kou Qi came here targeting Zhenxi, and now that Zhenxi is missing, Kou Qi is the most important person." Emperor Zhao Ning had a severe headache.

"When Kou Qi left the Northwest, little general Yu was fine," said the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Hmph." Emperor Zhao Ning sneered, "Let Kou Qi come to report, they thought Zhenxi would detain Yu Zhenxi, so they waited for Yu Zhenxi to be forced to come to the capital, but they didn't know that he was confused by Zhongyonghou."

Li Luo, known as the Marquis of Zhongyong, heard this inside, his shoulders trembled, and he was a little scared.

"Marquis Zhongyong is clever and clever," said the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.It is indeed smart to sue the superiors for such crimes, and cut off Kou Qi's retreat first. "Besides, Marquis Zhongyong really understands the laws of our country." In that case, they were all shocked by the news of Yu Zhenxi collaborating with the enemy. Who would have thought that it would be illegal for a subordinate to sue a superior.

Of course, Li Luo understands the laws of the country of China. As a modern person with ideals and goals, he needs to know where the bottom line of the country's laws lies.Not to mention knowing the laws of the country of China, he also knows the little Jiujiu in these ministers' homes, and he has already made a notebook and registered it.

But... Li Luo is a little proud, they just don't know it.

"Li Xu's son is of course smart." Emperor Zhao Ning felt that he was honored, at least he was raised by him.He also sent someone to secretly protect it.

But he didn't give money to help Li Luo. This could be regarded as a test.

"Your Majesty, Kou Qi came to report to General Yu for two reasons. One is that someone wants to take action against the Northwest Barracks, and the other is that someone wants the military power in the Northwest." The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said again.

"Well, keep talking." Emperor Zhao Ning thought the same way.

"If someone wants to take action against the Northwest Military Camp, will it be someone from Fuqiu Kingdom?" the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments asked.

"You mean, maybe Kou Qi is the collaborator and traitor?" Emperor Zhaoning frowned.

"If it's the former, you can suspect that Kou Qi is collaborating with the enemy and treason, but now that General Yu is missing, so I suspect the second point, that someone wants to attack the Northwest military power." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment boldly said.

"If so, who do you suspect?" Emperor Zhao Ning asked.

Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment lowered his head even more, not daring to speak.It's mind-boggling to say this kind of doubt.But if he didn't say it, why didn't Emperor Zhaoning know about it?If someone had the idea of ​​fighting for military power in the Northwest, then it was only to deal with Jun Chen, who would deal with Jun Chen?Boss?Second child?third child?

Anyone is the object of suspicion, but there is no evidence. "You continue to investigate secretly."

"good,,

"Where is Dali Temple?" Emperor Zhao Ning looked at Dali Temple Minister, "What happened to your attack? Is your injury okay?"

The Minister of Dali Temple shook his head: "I am fine. I came out of Dali Temple that night, and those people raided me. It can be seen that they knew the whereabouts of the minister. Fortunately, the people from Wucheng Bingma Division passed by on patrol." Dali Temple When Qing said that, his brows were tightly frowned.

Li Luo listened inside, and asked Eunuch Hai: "Grandpa Hai, is there a time period for the soldiers and horses of the five cities to patrol?"

"Why did Young Master suddenly ask such a question?" Eunuch Hai was puzzled.

"If the other party knows the whereabouts of Dali Siqing very well, why would he choose to do it at the place where the soldiers and horses of the five cities must go on patrol? So I am curious, is the patrol time of the soldiers and horses of the five cities fixed? If If it is fixed, then this assassination is very strange. If it is not fixed, then it is purely unlucky for the assassin who went to assassinate himself." Li Luo said.

It was obviously such a serious question, but when Li Luo talked about bad luck, Eunuch Hai suddenly found it funny.However, he still explained: "The patrol time of Wucheng soldiers and horses is not fixed, and the patrol time is different every day, so the killer who attacked Dali Siqing had no idea that the people of Wucheng soldiers and horses would pass there that night. .” Hai Gong said.

That's it... Then Li Luo has nothing to say.

Northwest Barracks.

Gu Junchen's time is very planned, from waking up to going to bed, in Li Luo's words, like a robot, very punctual.

In the northwest, Meng Delang looked for hemp every day.But the river knee in the northwest is not easy to find, so Meng Delang is also very busy every day in order to clean up Gu Junchen's poison.

The disappearance of Yu Zhenxi raised the vigilance of the entire northwest military camp.

Even so, they still encountered assassination.

That night, a cloud of colorless and odorless smoke was put into Gu Junchen's tent, and then a figure sneaked in quietly, but when he drew his sword and was about to stab Gu Junchen, Gu Junchen on the bed suddenly turned over.

"You haven't been poisoned?"When he turned around and was about to run, Gu Junchen's sword was faster and stabbed directly from behind. The two fought in the tent, "Do you know martial arts?" King Qi, who has been poisoned for six years, knows martial arts?Never heard of it before.

The movement in the tent alarmed the people outside, and Jun Yi and Meng Delang rushed into the tent right after.The two are decocting medicine.

"If you can't keep anyone alive, kill it." Gu Junchen said.

Meng Delang's martial arts are as high as those of Gu Junchen and Jun Yi, and his decades of boy martial arts and profound internal strength are beyond imagination.Even if the killer wanted to escape, he didn't give him any room.

"There are assassins, save Your Highness."

"Come on." The soldiers outside yelled, and suddenly, they felt a group of people coming in from outside.

Gu Junchen rushed to the door: "He will be handed over to you." He said and walked out of the tent.

"I have seen Your Highness, is Your Highness alright?"

"Your Highness, I will go in and help."

"No need." Gu Junchen blocked the door, "There is enough Junyi inside, but you will get in the way when you go in, so I will wait outside for you." Why did the killer suddenly appear?And it's still silent, there is only one explanation, there is a traitor here, let the killer know the map of the barracks, otherwise how could the killer find his camp among the many camps?

So, among these people in front of you, who is the traitor?If they rushed in, the killer would definitely run away in the chaos of the crowd.What the other party thought was cleverness, but it was a pity that Gu Junchen didn't give him this chance.

If there is a traitor, then the cousin's disappearance... Thinking of this, Gu Junchen's eyes were dark and unclear.

People outside dare not go in due to the majesty of King Qi.

"Your Highness." Li Zhongming, Li Dan and several lieutenants arrived soon, "Why are there assassins?" Li Zhongming said.

Gu Junchen shook his head: "It's okay for Junyi to be inside. You stay here and don't allow anyone to break in. Li Zhongming and Li Dan, you two send people to look around to see if there are any suspicious people or suspicious things."

"No." Li Zhongming and Li Dan immediately led a group of people to patrol around.

If there is really a traitor here, then the five lieutenants in front of him are also suspicious, and the only one who is not suspicious is the person he brought along.Junyi, Meng Delang, Li Zhongming, Li Dan.

boom……

Someone rolled out of the tent, covered in blood, and one of his hands was broken and rolled to the ground.Jun Yi flew out and stepped on the opponent's other hand: "Your Highness, I caught it."

"It broke his hamstring." Gu Junchen said.Then walked over.

Everyone took a deep breath, wasting their hamstrings?His Royal Highness Qi Wang said without changing his face, this... His Royal Highness Qi Wang is only 14 years old.

"No." Junyi never doubted Gu Junchen's orders, and then only heard the howling of the killer.

"Is there no poison in your mouth?" Gu Junchen asked.

"Yes, Miracle Doctor Meng fed him the detoxification pill before crushing the poison." Jun Yidao.

"Put him down, and we'll have another trial tomorrow. Let's get back, just in case there are assassins coming again. Those on duty and patrolling should be more energetic." Gu Junchen said.

The killer was detained, and Gu Junchen's tent could no longer live in, so he moved to Junyi's tent, and the eunuch who came to serve him immediately tidied up Junyi's tent.

"Why didn't the prince try it overnight?" Jun Yi was a little puzzled.

Before Gu Junchen could answer, Meng Delang came in: "I just went to search for it. This is something the other party used to stun the prince. It's a little thing." Meng Delang sneered. This behavior is gone. "My lord wants to catch them all tonight."

"That's not the case." Gu Junchen said, "If they don't save people tonight, of course they can't catch them all. Since the other party found my camp without anyone noticing, the traitor will naturally know, and I must have doubts. He What I rely on is only among the crowd, I will doubt which one."

"But there are so many people, the prince really can't doubt it." Meng Delang said.

"That's true. So, let's take precautions together." Speaking of this, Gu Junchen frowned, "That traitor must also be the one who designed my cousin. The traitor, the spy, the killer...Kou Qi...the people behind it were planning at the beginning It is the Northwest, calculating the Northwest is tantamount to calculating me, but now he can't wait to ignore the Northwest, so he calculates me first, why?"

"Could it be that something happened over there in the capital?" Jun Yi said.

As for the fact that King Chunyang was sent by the capital, we haven't heard any news yet, so we can't guess.

"Be careful at night."

In the middle of the night, before Gu Junchen's so-called traitor appeared, the war drum suddenly sounded.

"It's not good, Fuqiu country raided, Fuqiu country raided."

"Quickly go and report to the prince, Fuqiu Kingdom will make a surprise attack."

"Fuqiu country still dares to make a surprise attack? We have fought against them for decades, but they didn't take advantage, and now they dare to make a surprise attack."

"Fuqiu is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you can't beat us, you will specialize in such low-level things."

Gu Junchen fell into a hazy sleep, and was woken up again: "Fuqiu raid?" A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, first to assassinate him, and then to Fuqiu raid, how could it be such a coincidence, this is... It was already planned, So the traitor assassinated him and teamed up with Fuqiu? The traitor was from Fuqiu?No, everything is not that long and simple.

Gu Junchen hurried to the main tent to discuss important matters, and the five lieutenants had already arrived, seeing him coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "See you, my lord.

"There is no need to be formal." Gu Junchen said as he walked, "When Fuqiu made a surprise attack in the past, this is how you dealt with it?

"Fight." One of the lieutenants said.

"Fighting is natural, do you have a strategy?" Gu Junchen asked.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Say." Gu Junchen lowered his face.

"The strategy is different every time. For a while, I don't know how to talk about it." Another lieutenant said.

"Li Zhongming, what do you think?" Gu Junchen looked at Li Zhongming.

"When my subordinates followed Marquis Li, they encountered quite a few attacks. Fuqiu specialized in this kind of thing. They were proud that we couldn't take them down, but they couldn't take us down, and they didn't want to make it easy for us. "Li Zhongming said, "Some people stay in the camp, some people defend our rear camp to prevent the enemy from cheating, and some people fight."

"The troops are divided into three groups, under the command of Li Zhongming." Gu Junchen just filtered out Li Zhongming's words in his mind, and immediately handed over the initiative to him.

However, the remaining five lieutenants did not respond.

"What?" Gu Junchen raised his eyebrows.

"The military talisman is in the general's hands. Without a military order, you can't fight." A silent deputy said.
