Chapter 93 Li Linfu’s Troubles

At night, in Pingkangfang, Chang'an, in the back garden of Li Linfu's house, two men were lying in a rockery rock, staring at a corner of the northeast. They had been in the same position since dusk. It had been a whole hour. The winter night was cold, and the grass covered by cold dew was dark green, and the surroundings were silent. Just when the two men were trembling with coldness and were about to give up returning to the house, a change occurred under the base of the wall occurred. The northeast corner of the wall slowly lit up, becoming brighter and brighter, turning into three balls of fireballs, slowly moving towards them. The two were so scared that they shouted, bounced up from the ground like grasshoppers, and rushed straight to the front house, "Father, there is really a ghost!"

"Say! What did you see?"

Li Linfu, who had just changed his clothes and was about to enter the palace, heard his son's shout and got out of the car. Calculated that he had been the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty for fifteen years and had experienced countless ups and downs. However, the recent rumors of haunted in the mansion made him very upset. Some people saw three men wearing yellow robes walking in the northeast gauze holding hands and laughing and walking into the gables in the northeast. Some people saw three children running in the back garden with a fireball, talking and laughing.

The mansion was widely spread, and no one dared to step into the back garden again, but what troubled Li Linfu was the initial rumors, three men in yellow robe, which reminded him of an old case many years ago, which was his biggest heart disease in his life. In order to confirm whether the haunted was true, he specially ordered his eldest son Li Xiu and another son (he had twenty-five sons and twenty-five daughters, and sometimes even he himself often forgot the name of a certain son) to go to the back garden tonight.

"Sir, the child did see three fireballs." Li Xiu was still scared and replied tremblingly.

There were really three. Li Linfu suddenly felt his legs weak and fell into the chair. After a while, he waved his hand, "You guys go!"

In the 25th year of Kaiyuan, Prince Li Ying, Prince E, and Prince Guang Li Ju were framed by Li Linfu and Concubine Wu Hui and demoted to a commoner. They were then forced to commit suicide. Seven months later, Concubine Wu Hui died of illness, and it is said that she was chased by the three commoners.

"Is it my turn now?"

Li Linfu suddenly felt a sense of fear. This was a feeling he had never felt before. It was like a wounded person who would instinctively tremble when he was wounded by a finger. Perhaps his fear would disappear until the wound healed, but his wound would never heal. As soon as healed one, another more painful sore would burst out.

He was upset, stood up, pushed open the window, and a bitter cold wind blew into his face. People all said that Li Linfu was hiding his sword in his smile, and his hands were ruthless, but who would say that the darker and more ruthless person was just to eliminate dissidents, but that man wanted to kill his own son, just to keep his position. It can be seen that the most ruthless in the world is the imperial family.

"Don't come to me, your death has nothing to do with me."

Li Linfu murmured twice, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Who would believe this?

He was just a dog of that man. He figured out his thoughts and did things that could not be told for him, so he could sit down to the position he is today step by step. Since that is the case, why should he bear the retribution, but he was in the palace, and Li Linfu was angry and closed the window with a "slap" but almost clamped his hand.

Li Linfu has a fat and long nose with deep and long nose grooves. With his nose, he gives people a feeling of arrogance. But his smile is always hanging on his face, squinting his slender eyes, and his arrogance has also become amiable. However, in his study, his smile disappears and becomes a cold, fierce and scheming politician.

Today, this old politician who controls the lifeline of the Tang Dynasty's politics has been upset by the haunted things in the mansion and even forgotten about entering the palace.

He turned around, but his eyes fell on the table, where there was a letter lying. It had not been opened yet, so he picked it up casually. It turned out to be a letter from Li Daofu from Chengdu. Li Linfu was slightly surprised. When did the letter come from, he didn't see it.

He took out a small knife with a flash of cold light, opened the letter skin, pulled out the letter paper, and read it. His brows slowly twisted together. The smuggling incident of the Hai family in Chengdu was arrested by Zhang Qiu Jianqiong. This matter involved Li Daofu, so he wrote a letter to him for help.

Li Linfu was shocked and read it carefully again. The smuggling ship was arrested in Yibin County. Then the county lord Bo Li Qing handed over various smuggled documents directly to Zhang Qiu Jianqiong. At the end of the letter, Li Daofu vaguely suggested which documents might contain a letter of release.

"It's bitter!"

Li Linfu slapped the table hard and screamed. Now is the most critical time to overthrow the prince. How could such a thing happen? Maybe he will be completely overturned.

He quickly thought about various possibilities in his mind. If Zhang Qiu Jianqiong was afraid of his power, the matter might be left unresolved, but he was the prince's person. Will he offend him at this moment and give these evidences to the prince? Li Linfu immediately came to a conclusion. Since Zhang Qiu Jianqiong had already expressed his position, how could he let go of this opportunity to please the prince?

But it seemed a little late now, so he looked through the letter again and again. The incident happened before and after the New Year, but today was the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. Why did this letter come?

At this time, the door knocked gently, and the old butler Qian Zhong's voice came, "Master, it would be too late to enter the palace."

"Come in!"

Qian Zhong pushed the door and stood at the door and looked down at the master to speak.

"I'll ask you when did this letter come from, and why it suddenly appeared on my desk now." Li Linfu's face was gloomy and he stared at him tightly.

"this"

Qian Zhong hesitated for a moment. The letter was forgotten by the gatekeeper for three days. The gatekeeper begged him. Because the gatekeeper was a family member, he secretly placed the letter on the table when the master entered the palace. Unexpectedly, the mansion was haunted and the master came back.

Qian Zhong secretly looked at the master's face. If his face was calm, he could still beg for mercy, but now the master's face was obviously unhesitant. Qian Zhongshi knew the master too much and rarely had such a look. It seemed that there was something big in the letter. He couldn't help but curse the doorman secretly. Maybe he would implicate himself in. He dared not hide it anymore, so he had to say truthfully: "This letter was forgotten by the doorman Lao Wang for three days, so he was sent here today. I have tied him up and waited for the master to send it down."

"What!" Li Linfu suddenly felt aroused from his liver. It was indeed a 'thousand-mile acupoint, destroyed by an ant hole'. It seemed that he was too relaxed in his family. Only a small concierge dared to be so careless and miss his major affairs.

"Come!" Several strong guards came in.

"Call all the family and kill the concierge and the family in public."

Qian Zhong's face turned pale, and he saw that the old man had not finished speaking.

Sure enough, Li Linfu took two steps, looked back at him, and said coldly: "From now on, you go to be a concierge. If you dare to miss something, the concierge family will end up with you!"

Chang'an seemed to be covered by a thick dark curtain, and the carriage was walking through the misty night. The front one immediately carried two lanterns. The lanterns emitted orange-red light, reflecting the word "Li Xiang". They were particularly conspicuous in the night. Hundreds of cavalry guards held giant shields in their hands, defending tightly from front, back and left and right, for fear that assassins would fall from the sky.

According to the Tang Dynasty, officials are not allowed to rush to the front and back when they go out. Even the prime minister has to do so. Therefore, ordinary old farmers often block the road and complain, but Li Linfu is exceptional. Even Li Longji knew that he had too many enemies and wanted to eat his flesh. There are many people who sleep with him. Therefore, Li Xiang traveled and Baiwei rushed to the front and rush to the front.

Li Linfu's mansion is in Pingkangfang. Generally, when entering the palace, you can walk through Jingfengmen on the west side, or cross Wubenfang, and go to Chang'an Street to enter the imperial city. However, his habit is to pass Wubenfang, then walk through Xingdaofang, and then go to Zhuque Street to Zhuquemen and enter the imperial city. Therefore, people all say that Li Linfu is very popular. In fact, the reason why Li Linfu wanted to walk through Xingdaofang was because there was a former residence of Princess Taiping. He had to take a look at the woman who had left a mottled color in the history of the Tang Dynasty. When he was the first palace guard, this woman once teased him, "If Brother Nu is the prime minister, I should marry him." Things change quickly, and Princess Taiping has long been deteriorating, but Li Linfu is indeed a prime minister, and he has been sitting for fifteen years. If she knows her spirit, she dares to pat her face and jokingly call her nickname Brother Nu?

The team quickly approached Princess Taiping's former house, but today he looked at the house carefully. The haunted mansion caused him to think of moving to the house. Princess Taiping's former house was one of his alternative targets.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and a commander of the guard rushed to report, "Songmo Governor Li Huaijie asked for a meeting."

Li Linfu pondered slightly, "Call him to come forward and answer!"

Although Li Huaijie was arrogant at noon, if he asked him to go directly to Li Longji to ask for someone, he was not brave enough. After thinking for a long time, he prepared a heavy gift to go to Zong Zhengqing Li Che's mansion to inquire about the candidate for marriage. Li Che told him that the emperor had already intended to let the daughter of Dugu and the Khitan, and Li Huaijie tried the possibility of Li Jingyan again. Li Che smiled and said, Li Jingyan was a legitimate royal family, and he was not in line with the etiquette when he got married, but Li Huaijie was not willing to give up and pestered him over and over again. Li Che had to look at the respect of the etiquette and vaguely pointed a secret way for him to find Li Linfu.

Li Linfu has a high position and powerful force, and his methods are fierce, so all the generals in the border areas are afraid of him, and Li Huaijie is no exception. He walked quickly to Li Linfu's car with the guard, bowed and bowed, "Khitan Li Huaijie has met Lord Enxiang."

After a while, Li Linfu asked slowly, "What's the matter with Governor Li to find me?"

Li Linfu's voice was low, and Li Huaijie could not hear it clearly. He took a step closer and was about to speak, but two guards shot each other and forced him to take a step back. Li Huaijie was angry, but he did not dare to show it at all. He could only say in disappointment: "I am looking for the prime minister for the princess' marriage."

"The princess is a royal internal affairs. I am a foreign official. I am afraid I can't help me. Now the emperor is waiting for me. If I don't go, I will not be able to afford it if I miss the time. Governor Li, offend me, drive!"

The carriage started and Li Huaijie was left aside. He was very anxious and did not care that the guards glared at him. While following the carriage, he shouted: "I want to marry Princess Pingyang, the daughter of King Sining. I hope that each other will be fulfilled. I am very grateful!"

The carriage suddenly stopped, "Who did you just say you wanted to marry?"

Li Huaijie was overjoyed and quickly replied: "I want to marry Li Jingyan, Princess Pingyang, the daughter of King Sining, as my wife. The kindness is the same as the same, and I am willing to serve my life with kindness."

The Khitan was in a state of vain, and it was a trivial matter to not serve his life, but the three words "Si Ning King" aroused Li Linfu's interest, just as if a fat deer popped up in front of the hunter. Li Lin was the prince's wallet. She had always wanted to deal with him, but because he was a free king, he couldn't catch him, but now.

Li Linfu glanced at Li Huaijie through the curtain of the car. Under the dim moonlight, his face turned green, and a long scar on his left cheek seemed even more ferocious, as if he was a ghost from the Hall of Hell.
