Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 249 Cooperation
Seeing that Li Longji made a decision, Yang Guozhong no longer insisted on his own opinion. He pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. Cui Huan has not returned now, what should I do?"

"Cui Huan was ordered by me to investigate the matter of the Dragon Stele, and I believe he will give me an explanation." Li Longji stood up, glanced at Yang Guozhong and Li Tan, and said in a deep voice: "You are all my confidantes, Regarding this matter, I don't want outsiders to know about it. It's okay, I'm tired, you can step back."

After Li Tan and Yang Guozhong knelt down and worshiped, they slowly exited the hall.

"My lord, I hope the person you entrust can live up to his mission." Exiting the hall, Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and said to Li Tan.

Li Tan smiled indifferently: "Master Yang, instead of worrying about this, it is better to manage your subordinates well, and don't overstep the rules, otherwise disaster will come, and it will be too late to regret."

After saying this, Li Tan flicked his robe sleeves, turned and left without looking back, leaving Yang Guozhong alone in front of the palace gate.

Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, there was something in Li Tan's words, and he clearly meant something, which made him suddenly feel a thorn in his back.

"King Jianning... I want to see what you can do? Hmph!" Looking at Li Tan's back, Yang Guozhong's narrowed eyes flashed a deep light, and after a few sneers, he disappeared behind the palace wall. between.

The other courtyard of the palace is the residence of the accompanying ministers. After Yang Guozhong left the main meeting hall, he went straight to a room in the middle of the courtyard.

After pushing the door and entering, Yang Guozhong snapped his fingers, and two figures suddenly appeared like ghosts.

"Keep the door of the house and don't allow anyone to approach." Yang Guozhong ordered casually, and the two figures nodded and disappeared in the same place in an instant.

There are two huge landscape screens on the left and right sides of the room. At this time, Liu Tong came out from behind the screens. When he saw Yang Guozhong coming in, he quickly bowed to him and said, "I have seen Mr. Xiangguo."

"Master Liu is exempt."

Yang Guozhong went to the seat and sat down, raised his hand slightly to signal Liu Tong to sit down, and then picked up the tea cup and started drinking.

Liu Tong hesitated, then sat down on the chair beside Yang Guozhong.

"Master Xiangguo, this is a gift from Lord Lin, please have a look at it." Liu Tong took out a palm-sized red sandalwood box from his arms, and handed it over respectfully.

Yang Guozhong glanced at the red sandalwood box, put down the tea cup, and took the red sandalwood box in his hand. After he opened the wooden box, a look of joy appeared on his calm face.

"Lord Liu, you are so careless, how could you be so greedy? If you hadn't intercepted Huangfu Kun's memorial, you are so greedy, but you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and you will be killed." Yang Guozhong rubbed Holding the red sandalwood box, said lightly.

Liu Tong chuckled, his narrow eyes shone with cunning, he cupped his hands at Yang Guozhong, and said, "What my lord taught me is that I am too impatient, but I have no choice but to act as an official! Although Li Canghai is an official He is humble, but he does have a bit of skill. Liang Xiu hid so deeply that he was caught out by him. If the credit falls on him, the Holy One will definitely promote him. But it's a big disadvantage!"

Yang Guozhong remained silent. He stuffed the red sandalwood box into his sleeve. After thinking for a while, his face suddenly became gloomy. He lowered his voice and said, "Lord Liu, I am very curious. What is your purpose? Do you want to rebel? "

Liu Tong almost jumped up in fright, he hurriedly said: "Lord Xiangguo, how can you say such words casually, be careful that walls have ears!"

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly, and stared fixedly at Liu Tongtong: "Master Liu, don't think that I don't know what you're doing because I'm in Chang'an. Tell me honestly, is the Dragon Stele broken by you? What is the purpose of causing so much gossip in Luoyang City during Shengshang's east tour?"

Liu Tong carefully looked around, and said in surprise: "My lord, even if you have the guts to dare to rebel! These are all coincidences, my lord, don't listen to rumors!"

"Do you really think I'm a fool? Liu Tong, the truth provides you with protection, not as a shield for you! Coincidence? Fart!" Yang Guozhong slapped the square table beside him angrily, shaking the square table for a while with his mighty palm Trembling.

Liu Tong fell silent. After a while, he took out a letter from his pocket and said calmly, "Master Xiangguo, this is a letter from Master Lin. You will understand after reading it."

Yang Guozhong took the letter with a gloomy face, and after reading it roughly, he suddenly said angrily: "It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! I'm protecting you in every possible way, but you use me instead?"

Liu Tong shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Master Xiangguo, I believe you have understood the meaning of Lord Lin. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and no one can do without the other. As long as Lord Xiangguo acts according to Lord Lin's will , you are still the prime minister."

"You dare to threaten the truth?" Yang Guozhong's eyes flashed a murderous intent, and he stretched out his hand to grab Liu Tong's throat as fast as lightning.

Liu Tong didn't seem to have expected that Yang Guozhong would make a sudden attack, let alone that Yang Guozhong knew martial arts, and his skills were not weak.

Liu Tong was pinched by the throat, and his face turned red quickly. While struggling, he said with difficulty: "Xiangguo... my lord, it's not a pity to die as an inferior official... But what do you want to explain to your majesty?"

Yang Guozhong's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly, "As long as you disappear completely in this world, what else do you need to reveal?"

"Ha...haha!" Liu Tong sneered a few times with difficulty, and said intermittently: "You think killing me... can cut off contact with us?"

Yang Guozhong was extremely annoyed. With a sudden force with his right hand, he directly threw Liu Tong out of Zhang Xu, and hit a high chair with a crash, smashing the chair to pieces.

Yang Guozhong was not an idiot, he naturally knew that killing Liu Tong would not change anything.All his handles are in the opponent's hands, it's as if someone has grasped the fatal spot, as long as the opponent is willing, he can be killed instantly.

However, it was obviously difficult for him to accept being controlled so easily.

He wants the other party to know that even if the other party has his handle, he is not someone who can be manipulated arbitrarily.

"Liu Tong, go back and tell your master, if he dares to threaten the truth again, don't blame the truth for being ruthless!" Yang Guozhong said coldly.

Liu Tong struggled to get up from the ground, he took a few quick breaths, and said, "Master Xiangguo is too worried, we are only seeking money, so how could we do something like rebellion? Cough cough, Master Lin Having said that, in order to maintain the cooperation between the two parties, we can help you eliminate all opponents."

Yang Guozhong lowered his head and thought about it. His handle fell into the hands of the other party. It is not appropriate to conflict with them at the moment.
