~~~~~~

After the lunch, Li Yuanqing did not stay in Tian Mansion for too long, and soon he said goodbye and left knowingly.

The time to visit Wang Chengen's house was set at Mao hour, which was five o'clock in the afternoon, but it was only a little thirty at this time. Li Yuanqing returned to the carriage, greeted his soldiers, and returned to Sanfu Inn to rest.

In the carriage, which was simple on the outside but extremely comfortable on the inside, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar comfortably and closed his eyes thoughtfully.

The ethereal fragrance of Concubine Tian seemed to be still on the tip of her nose and lingering in her heart. Li Yuanqing felt a little dreamlike and ethereal for a moment.

No wonder, everyone wants the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Being.

Only when you stand at the highest point of the mountain can you have the broadest view and the best angle, look down and enjoy all the beautiful scenery and customs in the world.

But soon, Li Yuanqing calmed down, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ants' aphrodisiac was once very popular in later generations, and was even endorsed by a powerful man.

But in fact, this effect has been exaggerated too much.

Ants generally contain a substance called 'pithanthin', which is also known as 'formic acid' among common people.

Of course, this formic acid is not that formic acid.

Real formic acid is a chemical substance that is very corrosive and destructive. Even if humans eat it, they will choke even if they smell it.

Pixanthin is a very powerful thing. It has a very good effect on nourishing yin and yang, consolidating the mind and consolidating qi, purifying the blood, and even treating diseases such as baldness.

But this requires a step-by-step nourishing process.

Today, Li Yuanqing used an inconspicuous but very useful trick to fool Tian Hongyu.

The so-called Gods of Strength are actually a group of original ecological giant ants native to Changsheng Island.

This kind of ant is relatively strong, especially because its living environment is relatively natural, without any pollution at all. Based on its size, its body should contain more cortisol.

Just like the antibodies against pathogens in the human body, the effect is mostly good when the drug is first used, but ~, over time, once the pathogen forms antibodies, the effect will gradually weaken.

It was the first time for Tian Hong to eat such a big ant. Furthermore, he was in good health and supplemented by the best ginseng wine in the world, so it was reasonable for him to have some reaction.

Of course, the most important thing was the constant psychological hints that Li Yuanqing gave him.

It's like a hypnotist, constantly stimulating his nerves.

There is an old saying in China, "The cat teaches the tiger to save a trick."

If these big ants are treasures, they can indeed be considered treasures, because there are not many big ants growing in good places. But if other ants cannot replace them, then it is not necessarily true.

The most important thing is that at this time and in this era, only Li Yuanqing knows how useful this thing is...

In this way, the operating space will naturally be infinite.

However, when giving Tian Hongyu a gift, Li Yuanqing regarded it as an add-on and did not expect it to play such a big role.

But it's better to come by chance than by chance. Concubine Tian's sudden visit gave Li Yuanqing a platform to carry out his plans and maximize his benefits.

Not surprisingly, Li Yuanqing must have been a guest of the Tian Mansion in the recent period.

As for Concubine Tian and Emperor Chongzhen, Li Yuanqing had left enough backup.

It's just that... I think of Concubine Tian and Emperor Chongzhen...

But for a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

Eat as much food as you want. At least at this time...

The soldiers guarding the carriage had just returned to the Sanfu Inn. Li Yuanqing was about to go back to the small courtyard of Tianzihao to have a good 'communication' with Kyoko Kubo to get rid of the anger caused by Concubine Tian. At this time, there were soldiers

To report, someone came from Mao Wenlong's house and invited Li Yuanqing to come over as soon as possible.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Mao Mansion would come to him at this time, making today's schedule a little too tight.

However, Mao's Mansion was not far from Wang Chengen's residence. It was two adjacent blocks. In addition, when Mao's Mansion summoned him, Li Yuanqing had to go, both emotionally and rationally.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Yang Lei to prepare the gifts for Wang Chengen's mansion tonight. Li Yuanqing took Jin Huizi and more than a hundred soldiers and rushed to Mao's mansion first.

The Chinese nation, a land of etiquette, is visited by all nations.

On weekdays, welcoming and sending things off is quite important, not to mention that it is the New Year's Day at this time.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing had not prepared many gifts for Mao Mansion, he still had three to four thousand taels of banknotes on him, which was almost enough.

Time was already a little tight. When going to Mao Mansion, Li Yuanqing no longer took a carriage, but rode directly on horseback.

Not long after, the group of people quickly arrived at Mao's Mansion.

After receiving the news, Mao Wenlong's wife Zhang, Mao Wenlong's beloved son Mao Chengdou, his wife Shen, and several eldest ladies, under the leadership of Zhang, came out in a grand manner.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly bowed his hands, exchanged greetings, and entered the living room.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had somewhat understood the intentions of Zhang and Shen.

As expected, after serving tea and chatting a few words about home affairs, Mrs. Zhang said with a somewhat reserved smile: "Li Junmen, although I come from a woman's family, but over the years, I have heard the name of Li Junmen for a long time. Including

These days, my sister has also told me about Li Junmen’s love and care. Li Junmen, for this, I, the whole Mao family, can’t thank you enough."

Mrs. Zhang said, got up hurriedly, and bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing.

Here, the Shen family and five or six Mao Wenlong's family members were all considered to have relatively high status. They all followed the Zhang family and bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing.

Next to Zhang, Mao Chengdou, who was just ten years old this year, knelt down respectfully on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yuanqing vigorously, "Brother, Chengdou kowtows to the eldest brother."

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he hurriedly said: "Madam, what's happening? There's Chengdou, please get up quickly."

They were all Mao Wenlong's female relatives, and Li Yuanqing couldn't help him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Mao Chengdou, who was closest to him, up.

Mao Chengdou is very fair. Although he has the outline of Mao Wenlong, he is much more delicate than Mao Wenlong. His eyes are innocent and innocent, and he looks very pure, like a little girl, which is very lovable.

Mao Chengdou originally wanted to kneel down, but how could he, a little kid, resist Li Yuanqing's strength?

After a moment, he was helped up by Li Yuanqing.

On Zhang's side, seeing that the etiquette had come, she stood up and said with a smile: "Li Junmen, I have long wanted to invite Li Junmen to be a guest these days, but I just regret that I have been caught by the cold.

, is ill and has only recovered a little at this time, so please don’t be offended by Li Junmen.”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Madam, you are too polite. Marshal Mao is as kind to Yuan Qing as a loving father. The affairs of Mao's house are Yuan Qing's business. If Madam is so polite again, my brothers,

I'm afraid I'm going to poke Yuan Qing's spine."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Li Junmen, when the master was still alive, I heard the master mention it many times that Li Junmen is the most friendly person and the most worthy of entrustment. Now that I can see Li Junmen, I will

I finally feel a lot more at ease in my heart.”

Zhang may be in her fifties this year, but she is well-kept and fair. She looks to be in her early forties, although the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes cannot be concealed.

At this time, although she was looking at Li Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing could tell at a glance that Zhang's eyes were somewhat panicked, and that he did not dare to face Li Yuanqing directly.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said: "Madam, it is Yuan Qing's honor and blessing to share the worries of Mao Mansion."

As he said that, Li Yuanqing cautiously tried to say: "Madam, there is something wrong here~, as long as it is within the scope of Yuan Qing's ability, Yuan Qing will go through fire and water without hesitation."

As soon as Li Yuanqing finished speaking, Zhang's tears couldn't stop falling.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly took the other female family members with her, got up carefully, and Shi Shiran went to the back hall.

Mao Chengdou also kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing and left carefully.

Zhang glanced around and saw that everyone was gone. Her tears could no longer be concealed. For a moment, they were like springs. She bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing and said: "Li Junmen, this matter, I don't want to trouble you."

You...but, but now, I really have no choice. Li Junmen, at this time, you are the only one who can help me and Chengdou."

After Zhang finished speaking, he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing had already vaguely sensed Zhang's intention at this time, but he was still shocked by Zhang's action.

At this time, Li Yuanqing could not care less about avoiding suspicion, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to carefully help Zhang up, "Madam, what are you doing like this? Yuan Qing is afraid that his life will be shortened if he does this. Madam, don't be anxious, sit down first.

Take a rest, if you have anything to do, please speak slowly and Yuan Qing listens carefully."

Li Yuanqing carefully helped Ms. Zhang to a chair nearby, and then personally served her to drink a few sips of tea.

After a long while, Zhang's side felt better, but the tears still couldn't stop pouring out, and she said sadly: "Li Junmen, you also know that I only have a son like Chengdou, and Chengdou should have succeeded me.

But now, the imperial court wants to deprive Chengdou of his meritorious official status. Li Junmen, concubine and Chengdou, and the Mao family are all old, weak, women and children. This matter, again

How to deal with it..."

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

He and Emperor Chongzhen had reached a compromise. Logically speaking, even if Emperor Chongzhen was anxious and tried to protect Governor Yuan, he would not reach out to Mao Wenlong in such a hurry.

After all, Li Yuanqing had already had enough communication with him in this regard.

But looking at Zhang's words, she seems to be in a state of confusion...

"Madam, Marshal Mao's merits are greater than those of the country. Although the situation is a little complicated at this time, the court has not yet made a complete public comment on this matter. Where did Madam hear this news?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhang's low-brow look, including her anxious kneeling to Li Yuanqing just now, Li Yuanqing already made an accurate judgment in his heart.

There will be no wind coming out of the hole.

Although Zhang is Mao Wenlong's official wife, she is not a courageous or decisive person. To be so panicked at this time must have been influenced by external forces.

But at this time, neither the imperial court nor the gossip had spread in this regard.

What's more, Li Yuanqing believed that even if Emperor Chongzhen was a fool, he would never make such a mistake.

"ah?"

Zhang couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, and said hurriedly: "Li, Li Junmen, this news has been spread among the people. And there are noses and eyes, they are all true. The master is suspected of treason and supporting the army to support himself. The court

The purpose of recruiting the master's family members into the capital this time is... for the purpose of appointing the Jiaofang Secretary in the future... Li Junmen, and Chengdou, Chengdou is still a child..."

As she said this, Mrs. Zhang was so distraught that her body was a little unsteady and she was about to roll her eyes.

Li Yuanqing couldn't care about anything else at this time. He pinched Ms. Zhang's body a few times and patted her back hard to help her calm down. He comforted her and said, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with Yuan Qing's side."

Didn’t you get the news? Maybe it’s just a rumor. Madam, don’t worry, your health is important. Chengdou still needs your care."
