Mr. Yangui

Chapter 64
Li Wuchang returned to Caiyun Residence, had a big meal with the nanny and Xiaoru, then returned to the room after taking a shower, and told the nanny that he was very tired, so don't bother him.

Take out the ancient book that has been silent for a long time from the dark compartment next to the bed.

So many people died because of this damn thing.

It's really a trick of good fortune, how could this thing get into my hands.

Li Wuchang opened the book and read it carefully by the light of the fire.

I read two pages before, and it seems to introduce the geographical situation and folk customs of the states in the Central Plains.

It was the same after that, nothing unusual at all.

Li Wuchang frowned, and continued to look down, because he was afraid of making mistakes, so he looked very carefully, and when he was about to turn to the end, there was finally a change.

A strange map appeared on the page of the book, no specific states and counties were marked, but the map was drawn in great detail, the mountains, rivers and rivers were all lifelike, and the proportions were large.

Turning back, there are descriptions of various geographical folk customs.

The only oddity in the whole book is the map.

"Is this map weird?"

"It's not like a treasure map, is it?"

"It's impossible to tell which state or county this place is in. It looks like a small village."

Li Wuchang talked a lot to himself, but couldn't figure out the key point.

"Forget it, put it away first, and talk about it later."

After thinking for a while, Li Wuchang put the ancient book back into the secret compartment.

Just think about the present.

Father already knew about the conspiracy of Prince Jin's Mansion, and it is estimated that there will be some open and secret struggles. With Li Wuchang's identity and strength, he should not be able to intervene, so this can be ignored.

It's just to ensure your own safety at all times, so as to prevent people from Prince Jin's Mansion and Hanshui Gang from looking for you again.

The most urgent task right now is the matter of Dongli Restaurant.

It is not a big deal for Lu Xuandong and Zhang Yanbo to bully Zhao Xun with their identities.

It's no big deal for Zhang Yanbo to bribe the gangsters to go to the restaurant to make trouble.

But poisoning the porridge is too much.

Simply insane.

It is not known if the mastermind is Zhang Yanbo, Lu Xuandong, or someone else, this must be investigated first.

The next morning, Li Wuchang got up early and rushed to Dongli Restaurant, where Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun were already waiting.

After discussing for a while, the three of them took out a charter, and started to check along with the poisoned guy in the restaurant.

Now that they have money, they bought a lot of rascals on the street and acted as eyes and ears. After secretly investigating for a long time, they finally found out the clues. After several layers of orders, the top layer belonged to the third housekeeper Cousin nephew.

Zhang Jincai, the third steward of Zhang's mansion, once sent killers to surround and kill Li Wuchang.

His cousin's name is Liu Mao, who specializes in helping Zhang Jincai do some low-level things. This time, he used money to bribe some rascals to threaten the staff of Dongli Restaurant, and let the staff put medicine in the porridge.

In order not to wrong others at will, Zhao Xun invited some famous scoundrels to treat Liu Mao to dinner. After Liu Mao got drunk, he got the truth out of his mouth. His cousin Zhang Jincai instigated him to do the poisoning. However, as to whether Zhang Jincai was instructed by Zhang Yanbo, he did not know.

Zhao Xun suggested that Zhang Jincai should be used for surgery.

Jiang Minglun was worried that the Zhang family would give up Zhang Jincai directly and push him away.

"Catch Zhang Jincai and hide it first. I will negotiate with Zhang's family first to see if we can kill him. If they really give up Zhang Jincai, then we will hand Zhang Jincai to the Governor of Chang'an, and then we will blow the wind up." One point, if they ruin the Zhang family's reputation, I don't believe the Zhang family can remain indifferent." Li Wuchang had an idea.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun nodded.

……

The news of Li Wuchang's return to Chang'an spread, and many people came to Dongli Restaurant.

Zheng Wenlong, Zhou Chengwang, and Han Dazhi, who were good friends and knew the truth, were relieved and really happy, and several of them kept toasting with wine glasses.

Li Wuchang would not refuse anyone who came, and he would kill them all. He now has the strength of the fifth rank, so a few glasses of wine are naturally no problem.

There are also good ones that don't intersect well.

For example, Lu Xuandong also came, bringing Lin Zheng, Guo Yunlei and others.

Li Wuchang laughed, and dealt with it carefully, he didn't show a look of refusal, and he didn't want to confide in him, in short, he practiced Tai Chi.

Lu Xuandong didn't care about it, and was as kind as ever, which made Li Wuchang secretly admire.

As for Guo Yunlei, he and Lu Xuandong were getting closer and closer, and Li Wuchang decided to keep a distance from him.

There are also those who have poor friendship, and even have hatred.

That is the pair of partners Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo. They didn't come to see Li Wuchang, but came to investigate the situation. Li Wuchang was very enthusiastic and never mentioned the kidnapping of the Hanshui Gang. They only said that they had done something outside the city. thing.

This made Lu Xuanming and Zhang Yanbo's teeth itch with hatred.

In addition, there are Guo Yunling, Lin Qin and Lu Ting, those little girls, Li Wuchang did not dare to neglect, entertained them with the best food and wine, treating them as the most honored guests.

Lu Ting pestered Li Wuchang to ask about his cousin, Li Wuchang could only laugh, hoping to fool him.

It's a pity that it doesn't work.

"Hmph, Li Wuchang, don't play tricks. The princess comes here every day just to wait for you. Let me ask you, why do you have so many talented cousins?" Lu Ting asked.

"Haha, princess, the Li family has a great business, with a watch of three thousand miles. My distant cousin has eight hundred without a thousand. Isn't it too much to have so many talents?" Li Wuchang explained.

"Hmph, don't fool me. Your Li family has a large population, my Lu family also has a large population, and the Lin family also has a large population. Why don't I have such a cousin, and why doesn't Lin Qin have such a cousin?" Lu Ting was not fooled.

"That's because the princess didn't pay attention. There is a saying that there is no lack of beauty in life, but a lack of discovery. I happened to find my talented cousin. It can be seen that I am a person who is good at discovering beauty...Don't you, princess Frown, I'm not saying that you won't find beauty, but you are beautiful yourself, so you don't need to find it, and I'm ugly, so I need to find beauty." Li Wuchang continued to babble.

Seeing Li Wuchang's familiar rascal look, Guo Yunling couldn't help laughing.

"Look, Ms. Guo agrees with me." Li Wuchang took the opportunity to say.

"You really know how to talk nonsense, well, even if that's the case, then tell me, why are all your cousins ​​dead, how can it be such a coincidence?" Lu Ting no longer entangled in the number of cousins, but the lives of cousins.

"Princess, look, these poems on the wall, are ordinary mediocre people able to write them, God is jealous of talents, I am also very sad about my cousin's early death." Li Wuchang pushed back silently.

"You..." Lu Ting had nothing to say, and she was about to lose her temper.

"Don't be angry, you will age quickly when you are angry. Look at Ms. Guo, how old she was before, because she was often angry, but now she doesn't get angry very much, so she looks much younger." Li Wuchang bluffed.

When Guo Yunling heard Li Wuchang say that she was old, she glared at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

Now Li Wuchang often talks nonsense and makes her angry, but she feels it is very fun, and she doesn't even have the slightest intention to teach him a lesson.

"Puchi..." Lin Qin couldn't help laughing beside her.

Seeing that everyone else was looking at her, she quickly covered it up and said, "I'm reminded of the story told by the old storyteller downstairs. The story of Nie Xiaoqian is very touching."

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "I like that story too."

Then he let out a long sigh and said, "That's what my deceased cousin told me too, um, his name is Pu Songling."

The people next to me were speechless.

There's no mistake, yet another cousin has passed away.

Li Wuchang shrugged, raised his glass, and said, "Come, have a toast for my cousin."

What else can people say.

Li Wuchang had been busy all morning, drinking, bragging and talking nonsense, and finally dealt with this group of young masters and young ladies, exhausted to the point of exhaustion.

After resting for a while, Zhao Xun came to report.

The rascal they bribed saw Zhang Jincai, the third housekeeper of the Zhang family, leave the Zhang mansion and go to the west of the city to handle errands.

"Let's go, let's take him down." Li Wuchang made a prompt decision.

……

West of the city.

Zhang Jincai went out to do errands alone. Today he was ordered to inquire about the Zhang family's business in the shop in the west of the city. There was nothing in the shop. When Zhang Jincai finished his work, seeing that it was still early, he wanted to find a brothel to relax.

As soon as he walked into an alley with few people, three people appeared. He knew the one in the middle, who was Li Wuchang, the fourth son of the Li family.

Zhang Jincai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Fourth Young Master, why are you here?"

Li Wuchang was expressionless, and winked at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun stepped forward and swung his palm, knocking Zhang Jincai unconscious.

Jiang Minglun came to a carriage, took out a pair of ropes, trapped Zhang Jincai firmly, and threw him on the carriage.

"Impermanence, what are you doing?"

The three of them were about to get into the carriage to meet Xuanpingfang when a voice came from the end of the alley.

It was Li Qing.

"Uncle Qing?" Li Wuchang waved his hand at Jiang Minglun, signaling him to stop, and then jumped off the carriage.

Li Qing approached, frowned, and asked, "Is the housekeeper of the Zhang family in the carriage?"

Li Wuchang nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing Li Wuchang's indifferent look, Li Qing said: "Do you know what you are doing, arresting Zhang's housekeeper in public will hurt the relationship between the two families."

Li Wuchang chuckled and asked, "And then?"

Li Qing said: "Let him go quickly, I will go and tell your father, and pretend this never happened."

Li Wuchang shook his head, said: "This person sent someone to my Dongli Restaurant to make trouble, I want to catch him and find out who is behind the scenes, Uncle Qing, don't stop me."

Li Qing said earnestly: "Impermanence, I know you are very angry, but don't be so impulsive, trust me, I will definitely investigate and find out."

Li Wuchang sneered in his heart, and said: "I want to do it myself, I hope Uncle Qing won't stop me, I will definitely thank you in the future."

Li Qing said bitterly: "I think you have lost your head."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to snatch Zhang Jincai out of the carriage.

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun looked at Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang snorted coldly, and said: "Brother Xun, Ming Lun, stop me, I'll go first."

After all, he jumped into the carriage, sat in the driver's seat, and waved his whip.

The carriage moved.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun jumped out of the carriage, and their swords were unsheathed at the same time, pointing at Li Qing.

Li Qing watched Li Wuchang drive the carriage away, and said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Jiang Minglun respectfully said: "Master Li, please go back."

Zhao Xun also had a serious face, ready to strike at any time, which was part of their plan, but they didn't expect that the opponent would be Li Qing.

Although Li Qing's martial arts are as high as the seventh-rank intermediate level, it is still very difficult to break through the joint blockade of Jiang Minglun and Zhao Xun for a while.

Li Qing laughed back angrily, and said: "You are harming him, he will cause disputes between the Li family and the Zhang family."

Zhao Xun said: "Master Li is following orders, and so are we. The two of us respect Master Li very much. I hope Master Li will not make it difficult for us."

Seeing that the matter was irreversible, Li Qing gave Zhao Xun and Jiang Minglun a hard look, and finally gave up.

He must go back and report to Li Lingwu immediately.
