Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Yu Shiqing was feeling very bad now, and his face darkened slightly. He had to get rid of that uneasy emotion from his heart as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would behave badly in front of Li Yi'an and lose face.

"I hope you really don't regret it!"

Yu Shiqing took a deep look at Li Yi'an for the last time, couldn't stay any longer, and could only turn around and leave.

After leaving here, Yu Shiqing immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Chang'an and hand it over to his clan brother Yu Shinan.

Using family means to suppress and deal with Li Yi'an like the Zhu family's did not work, so he had to use court methods to suppress Li Yi'an and let him know how powerful the family is.

"This old thing is really shameless!"

Li Dejian said dissatisfied.

"A person of his stature is almost like this."

Li Yi'an said indifferently: "But what can the Yu family do to us?"

Chang Sunchong said: "Yu Shinan is quite prestigious in Chang'an, and His Majesty also respects him very much. The only thing Yu Shiqing can do is to ask him for help, but the matter of Chashan is not just a matter of Mr. and Dejian's family, even Yu Shinan , and there is no way to shake it."

This is why they are so calm. With so many princes, generals, and court officials backing them, as long as Li Yi'an is not rebelling, breaking the law, or harming the interests of the collective, they will resist no matter what he does about Chashan.

Not long after sending Yu Shiqing away, Liu Tongfang came again.

"Li Zhan, may I ask if you are free now?"

Liu Tongfang asked with a smile.

"What's the matter with Liu Shijun?"

Li Yi'an nodded slightly, he could tell that Liu Tongfang came here today with a purpose.

"It's like this. I have an old friend who wants to know Li Zhanshi. I hope I can introduce him. He will host a banquet at my house today. Would Li Zhanshi appreciate it?"

Liu Tongfang asked expectantly, and his attitude was very respectful and polite.

Li Yi'an thought that he had helped him a lot recently, and it was not easy to lose his face. He also wanted to know what his purpose was and that he had a second plan, so he nodded and agreed.

Liu Tongfang was overjoyed, and hurriedly invited Li Yi'an to the house, the carriage was already ready outside.

Li Yi'an didn't take anyone with him, and went alone. When he first entered the door, he saw that it was quite lively. There were several people sitting there, all of whom Li Yi'an didn't know.

Liu Tongfang briefly introduced again, it turned out to be the heads of some aristocratic families in the Jiangnan area, but they were all relatively ordinary families, which were not worth mentioning compared to the Yu family.

Li Yi'an simply nodded to them as a return, and then found a place to sit down.

"Li Zhan, this is Patriarch Zhao!"

After a while, Liu Tongfang came over with a middle-aged man and said with a smile, "It's the old friend Li Zhan and I talked about."

"Zhao Zhide met Li Zhan!"

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said.

"Patriarch Zhao, are you from the Zhao family in Hangzhou?"

Li Yi'an recalled that when he saw the head of Lijia Village that day, he heard them mention the Zhao family, and it probably belonged to Zhao Zhide's family.

Having been in Hangzhou for so long, Li Yi'an certainly knew the existence of the Zhao family, the second largest family after the Zhu family, but before the decline of the Zhu family, they had always been suppressed by the Zhu family.

Everyone in Hangzhou knows that there is a Zhu family, but they seem to be a little transparent about this Zhao family.

"Exactly!"

Zhao Zhide quickly said: "It turns out that Li Zhan has heard about us."

He even gave it a flattering feeling, as if it was his greatest honor.

Liu Tongfang echoed and said, "Patriarch Zhao has always admired Li Zhanshi, so he asked me to introduce him."

Li Yi'an raised his wine glass and continued to nod his head as a response.

The Zhu family was taken down by him, and he didn't care about the inferior Zhao family. As for being polite to him, that was impossible.

Zhao Zhide didn't feel embarrassed either, he smiled and sat back to his seat, and then started tonight's banquet, probably eating and drinking, nothing else.

When the curfew was approaching, the banquet was declared over, and everyone went back.

"Li Zhan, how about I come and take you back?"

Zhao Zhide ran over and said.

"Then Patriarch Zhao is in trouble."

Li Yi'an did not reject him.

The carriage was already ready outside the door. Li Yian just got into the carriage and found a box of jewelry and jade in the carriage, which were relatively valuable and not too bulky.

"Li Zhan, I prepared these for you, do you like them?"

Zhao Zhide narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Li Yi'an picked up a jade tablet, weighed it for a while, and found Wen Run, it was a good jade.

As for other pearls and other things, all of them are of great value, Li Yian thought in his heart, is he trying to bribe himself?

interesting.

This bribe, I like it.

"Patriarch Zhao's gift, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"

Li Yian closed the box.

"Li Zhan can bear it!"

Zhao Zhide said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to say it directly, our Zhao family and Zhu family have always been at odds, and there are some grievances. Li Zhan's matter suppressed the Zhu family to the extent it is today, which is of great benefit to our Zhao family. Take it as my thanks to Li Zhan, you must accept it."

Li Yi'an seemed to feel that his reason was very legitimate, and nodded with a smile, "Let Patriarch Zhao spend the money."

When he said that, it was tantamount to telling Zhao Zhide that he had accepted it.

Zhao Zhide's smile was even brighter, and he said cheerfully, "If Li Zhanshi needs anything in Hangzhou, just come to me. As long as our Zhao family can do it, we will definitely not neglect Li Zhanshi."

"Then I won't be polite in the future."

Li Yi'an responded casually.

He knew that Zhao Zhide would definitely have something to ask of himself after a while, or that he would do something related to Liu Tongfang, so he bribed him with some valuable things in advance so that he could not intervene, so that he could turn a blind eye. one eye.

This box of jewelry and jade is very valuable, Li Yi'an is not afraid to accept it, but he is afraid that he will not give enough.

The carriage quickly returned to Li Yi'an's house, and after carrying the box down, he bid farewell to Zhao Zhide.

Zhao Zhide watched his figure disappear before his eyes, feeling unspeakable excitement in his heart, and secretly thought that Li Zhanshi was not such a stubborn person.

Back at Liu Tongfang's residence, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Liu, the matter is done!"

"He took it?"

"Accepted!"

Liu Tongfang said again: "It seems that I have done nothing wrong by following him these few days. To gain his trust, this Li Zhan is not a noble person. He just pretended to be noble in the past. That's easy to say. .”

Zhao Zhide said: "Then, can we continue with the previous work?"

Liu Tongfang thought for a while: "It's possible, but we must also pay attention to the impact. Don't do it too much. If we make him feel bad, he will attack us."

Thinking of Zhu Wenguang being imprisoned in their Hangzhou prison, Liu Tongfang was in awe of the Li Zhan incident.

He still had to deal with the Zhu family's affairs when he found time, and he had to make Li Zhan feel comfortable.
