Wentang

Chapter 118 Showdown
Li Jiancheng's murder of Li Shimin by poison should be a top-secret matter, and no one in the know would dare to spread it.

Even if there is no impenetrable wall in the world, what happened last night should not have reached Zhou Shangyun's ears this morning.

Moreover, he could accurately say that it was poisoned by arsenic, which is even more doubtful.

Unexpectedly, I would be on all possible precautions, and the most trustworthy person around me was that spy, Yue Shan showed a bitter smile.

No wonder he doesn't want a serious official position, and follows me, a young man with an uncertain future.At that time, I was very proud that others had a good vision and could see that I was a potential stock.Only now do I know that people are playing with themselves as monkeys.

Sure enough, he is still too stupid, playing tricks with the ancient elites, and he doesn't know how he died.

Fortunately, I have been vigilant in the past six months, and I have not left the information of future generations in writing, and the textbooks I have written have also been locked in a special box and never shown to others.

Even so, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Who is he?
Yue Shan thought carefully about the other party's performance in the past six months, but he didn't find any useful clues.Had to laugh at myself again, really stupid.

Zhou Shangyun was very efficient. Before noon, he got the new news: King Qin was out of danger, and there would be no further news.

Yue Shan heaved a sigh of relief, it's fine if he didn't die, as long as he didn't die, there was hope for a comeback.

Then he looked at the panting Zhou Shangyun again, trying to see the flaws in him, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find any clues.

Zhou Shangyun also noticed Yue Shan's abnormality, he pulled his clothes and looked them over but found no problem, then asked suspiciously: "Da Lang sees what I am doing, is there something wrong with my clothes?"

Yue Shan smiled, and did not answer his question, but asked: "How long have we known each other?"

"We have known each other for ten months, and I have been with Dalang for more than seven months. Why did Dalang suddenly ask this question?" Zhou Shangyun laughed.

"What kind of person do you think I am? Can I feel sorry for you?" Yue Shan continued to ask.

The smile on Zhou Shangyun's face froze, and then disappeared little by little, obviously realizing something.

"Is it still exposed? When did Dalang find out?"

"Just this morning." Yue Shan said expressionlessly.

"Da Lang is really smart, you noticed me the first time I sent a message." Zhou Shangyun said bitterly.

"I only have one question, who are you from?" Yue Shan said in a serious tone.

"Gao Shilian in Yongzhou governance." Zhou Shangyun said.

"Oh?" Yue Shan frowned, but the answer was beyond his expectation.

He said that he was Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and even Li Yuan's people, Yue Shan would not be surprised, but he never thought it would be Gao Shilian.

He naturally knew this person, the uncle of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugou, a staunch supporter of Li Shimin, and one of the participants in the Xuanwumen Incident.But this person has not been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and it has only been two or three years now. How could Zhou Shangyun belong to him?

"Really." Zhou Shangyun said with a wry smile:
"After Gao Zhizhong took office, he was afraid that someone would deceive him, so he secretly recruited many people to observe the customs for him. At that time, I was just a small official in the government office, and I became his eyes and ears in order to get ahead. It was also in his Only with help can I become a warehouse planner."

"I thought I just needed to help him collect folk customs, and I've been doing this all these years. But last year, he assigned me a task to monitor you. I didn't have the ability to refuse, so I quit the storage plan. The position of an official becomes your staff."

"But don't worry Da Lang, I swear to God that I never revealed any secrets about you."

Yue Shan couldn't stop laughing, he didn't believe a single punctuation mark in his words, and continued to ask: "He also passed the news of King Qin's poisoning to you?"

"Yes, they just told me this morning, let me tell Da Lang and observe your reaction." Zhou Shangyun replied.

"Is there any more?" Yue Shan asked.

"No, I sent the news and asked King Qin's situation, and their reply was simply out of danger."

"Okay, I see, you can go." Yue Shan nodded and said.

"Ah, let's go? Will Da Lang let me go?" Zhou Shangyun said in disbelief.

"Why, can I kill you if I don't let you go? After being together for so long, even a dog has feelings, let alone a human. You go, and we will have nothing to do with each other from now on." Yue Shan mocked.

Zhou Shangyun knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in shame, "Thank you Dalang for your life. Shangyun knew that he had broken his trust with Dalang, but he still had a word of persuasion before he left."

"Say." Yue Shan said.

"This matter involves a very dangerous battle for the throne. Da Lang managed to stay out of it, so he must not get involved rashly." Zhou Shangyun said sincerely.

"You don't need to remind me about this matter, you can leave." Yue Shan said lightly.

"Hey, Shangyun bid farewell to Dalang." Zhou Shangyun kowtowed three times, then turned and left.

When he left, the calm expression on Yue Shan's face could no longer be maintained, and turned into deep tiredness and depression.

He thought everything was under his control, but now he realized that it was just a joke, even the only person available to him was a spy planted by others.

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, even if he was killed as a spy, no one would pursue him, but Yue Shan did not do so.

First, he is a traveler with very upright views, and he has no habit of life and death at every turn.Let him kill people, he can't make up his mind.The second is that he is too lonely and alone, it is not so easy to kill a person.

Regardless of how loyal Ma Busi, Xu Shanying and others are usually, it is almost impossible for them to kill for no reason.

They are in the Ministry of Defense and work in the Ministry of War. Strictly speaking, they belong to the people who eat the emperor's food. How could they easily help Yue Shan kill people.Family generals are high-ranking servants, life and death are in the hands of their masters, so they are much more loyal.

Although the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that slaves are also civilians and the master's family signs an employment contract, in fact a slave is a slave.Under the current social conditions, the law can only guarantee that they will not be killed at will, and there is no extravagant hope for human rights.

Also because of this relationship, servants are often more loyal.Because only loyalty can survive.

As a time traveler, a time traveler with a very upright outlook, Yue Shan despises servants, family generals and the like, so there is no servant in his family.

In the past six months, many people thought of his family selling themselves as slaves, but he rejected them all.

After experiencing the Zhou Shangyun incident today, he realized that he was too naive and superficial.

Any system has the inevitability of its era, and it is foolish to separate a certain system from the era.

Just imagine if he had some more reliable servants and generals, Zhou Shangyun would definitely not let Zhou Shangyun leave so easily today.

Even if he is not killed, he must be stripped of his skin, or at least the mastermind behind him must be tortured.Instead of just a few words and watching others walk away.

The only thing he can be thankful for now is that he has been keeping a low profile for more than half a year and has no idea of ​​doing anything, otherwise he would have lost his head already.

Only today do I know what it means to be involuntary in the arena, and what it means to change an era first by changing yourself.Yue Shan smiled bitterly, but at the same time made up his mind.

When I turn back, I will buy some servants and come back, regardless of the inhumanity.
