Chapter 796: No tears without seeing the coffin

Chapter 796: No tears will fall out of sight of the coffin

It was already late at night, and the autumn wind was blowing loudly outside the hall.

Zhao Huan's face swayed with the candlelight, and he put one hand on the table, staring at Li Bangyan, who seemed to be in a leisurely position, staring at Li Bangyan.

a long time……

Zhao Hengchang let out a breath and said quietly: "What if the matter is exposed?"

This is the question that Zhao Heng is most worried about. The ancestors and the country of the Song Dynasty are actually second-hand. The most important thing is his own wealth and life. At this point, Zhao Heng was frightened, and at the same time he still had a glimmer of hope. Now, he is going to take a step back and is going to rule the world. Of course, Zhao Heng is unwilling to use his wealth and life to gamble, and he can't afford to gamble.

If the affair with the Jurchens is spread, it will inevitably be an uproar. The empress dowager cannot forgive, and Zhao Ji cannot forgive. Even the people in the world and the civil and military officials in the court will never accept it. If it is said that tending to discuss peace is a matter of attitude, then even if the whereabouts of the water master are revealed to the Jurchens, even if he, the prince of the governor, cannot afford this relationship.

Li Bangyan was silent. He closed his eyes and did not show a servile look in front of the prince. He put his hands on his knees. After a brief hesitation, he said: "Your Highness, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired; if the navy is not overthrown, your highness will definitely die. Instead of doing this, it is better to give it a try. If the matter is leaked in the future, I will die with the prince at worst?"

Zhao Heng sighed and said in disgrace: "How could things get to this point?"

Li Bangyan sneered in his heart, wasn't this caused by you? How could he be today if he didn't offend the King of Pingxi? People have offended him, but they have been plotting on him, and he is so sad and sincere. What is the prince? Li Bangyan contempts Zhao Heng's actions from the bottom of his heart. But of course he knows that he is inseparable from the current situation and is irreconcilable with Shen Ao; if he talks with Shen Ao in the martial arts hall, Li Bangyan will never do it. Only stupid people like Cheng Jiang will be such a pioneer. But if there is really a chance to kill with one blow, Li Bangyan will never let it go. As long as the navy is destroyed, Li Bangyan can already predict that Shen Ao will die. And once Shen Ao dies, he will be able to regroup.

Li Bangyan had been waiting for too long on this day, so when he expressed his intentions, Li Bangyan was not afraid at all, but only a faint palpitations, and the desire that had been suppressed in his body seemed to burst out suddenly.

Zhao Heng finally calmed down. After all, he had been the prince for so many years. After being nervous, he finally made up his mind and said, "That's it, but to contact the Jurchens, we naturally need to be trustworthy and have someone to match. Can anyone choose Li Sheren?"

Li Bangyan said: "The villain recognizes a person. This man is a merchant in Huaizhou. He has dealt with Jurchens and is proficient in Jurchen language. What's even more rare is that the last time Shen Ao implicated Huai Shang, this man's father was taken by the captain of the Martial Arts School. He still has no corpse. If His Highness invites him, he will definitely succeed."

Zhao Heng looked at Li Bangyan deeply and said in his words: "It turns out that Li Sheren was prepared for a long time."

Li Bangyan smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness is so serious, I am just planning ahead."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, "Since this person has a grudge against Chen Ao to kill his father, I will naturally not be suspicious. Later, in order to win the trust of the Jurchens, I will compile a book and entrust all the other things to Li Sheren."

Zhao Heng asked someone to bring the four treasures of the study, then sent the person out, moved a palace lantern, picked up the pen and pondered for a while, and finally finished writing. After writing hundreds of words, Zhao Heng checked it, then took out his own seal and dipped it in the seal and stamped it at the end.

Li Bangyan leaned over to read it and said with a smile: "Your Highness's running script is pretty good, it has the style of the emperor."

Zhao Heng sneered and said, "Take it with Li Sheren. Be careful when hiding, don't be careless."

Li Bangyan dried the ink for Zhao Heng, then put the letter in close contact, sat down again, and greeted Zhao Heng for a few words. Seeing that the sky was getting late, Zhao Heng had tiredness on his face, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Walking from the palace to the archway where the sedan chair was parked, Li Bangyan got into the sedan chair and took the moonlight. He told the sedan chair driver indifferently: "Go back to the house and ask someone to come to Liu Wenjing and tell him that I have something important to explain."

The sedan chair was lifted up and gradually walked into the dark alley in the dim lights. In this darkness, several pairs of eyes flashed with strange light.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In Guojiazhuang, this seemingly deserted house, even ordinary pedestrians dare not approach it. At this time, the outskirts of Bianjing were swept away by the autumn wind, and the branches and leaves of the forest were immediately painted golden. The old uncle was crowed and the fallen leaves flew, which was very miserable.

When the morning light first came out, the people in the mansion that looked deep got up very early, or in other words, many people in the mansion had never slept at all. The clerk who had stayed up all night was still combing the messages sent from all over the place under the lamp. Occasionally, people who conveyed the messages came in and out, and closer to the inner room, the lights inside were brighter. Chen Ji and his clothes were sitting cross-legged on the couch in the inner room. Several people were waiting for their orders, handing them tea from time to time, or grinding ink for Chen Ji when he was about to start writing.

When the rooster crowed, there was still no light at dawn, and the dawn seemed to be hidden. Chen Ji rubbed his red eyes, held a secret report in his hand, and was stunned.

Li Bangyan went to the East Palace and stayed for two hours and one moment in total. There was no more time, no less, and he could do many things or say a lot. After that, Li Bangyan's sedan chair left the East Palace, but a servant who was with the sedan quickly went to Caiyifang, and found someone to go to Li's mansion to speak overnight.

Then I looked for Li Bangyan's daily routine from the archived materials. Although Li Bangyan is a prodigal son, his daily routine is still regular and he will not meet guests in the middle of the night. Moreover, according to previous information, the people in the Caiyifang have not had much contact with Li Bangyan.

So, who is the person in the Caiyifang? What did Li Bangyan discuss with the prince? Why did he call this person to the mansion overnight?

"There must be a hidden truth here!" This was the judgment made by Chen Ji. In fact, the longer he contacted the Jinyiwei, the more Chen Ji knew that the clues of the Jinyiwei were extremely important. Every unusual action was very likely to be a precursor to the incident.

He absent-mindedly put down the information, then took a sip of tea, cheered up, and said to the people around him: "Have the person who investigated has not come back yet?"

"When Mr. Chen returns to the words, many people have been released to inquire and collect them, and the news should come soon."

Chen Jihe nodded, sighed, and said, "Then I will wait a little longer."

Chen Ji frowned and pretended to go to see other reports. He would occasionally change his seat, but his eyes might have been too hot with the oil lamp and were always wet, which made him have to wipe it with wet wipes.

Half an hour passed. Although Guojiazhuang was busy, everyone usually tiptoed in and out. At this time, a clerk came in outside and whispered: "Mr. Chen, the news of the name of the name of the name of Jiachen in Yin year has been inquired."

"Oh?" Chen Ji raised his eyebrows, as if he was relieved, sat up straight, couldn't help but rub his numb legs, and said, "Ignore."

The clerk took out a piece of news sent recently and said, "The person in Caiyifang is named Liu Wenjing. He is from Henoi County, Huaizhou. His father and grandfather are both merchants. His father Liu Zengyang once had an old friend with Duke Zheng. Later, the Taiyuan case broke out and was arrested. Liu Wenjing was a scholar. He was once a scholar when he was founded in the Jingguo of Zhongzhong, and has never been in business since then, so Taiyuan matters did not involve him. However, it is said that this person is quite smart and likes to visit everywhere. He has been to Khitan and Xixia several times, and is very likely to have gone out of the desert. After his father's case, Liu Wenjing found a small house in Caiyifang. He only hired a few servants to live in seclusion and did not usually interact with others. However, last night, when Li Bangyan asked him to go to the mansion, he left very quickly. I guess the relationship between him and Li Bangyan must be of great importance."

Chen Ji's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm still related to those businessmen who are traveling around? What else?"

The clerk continued: "Liu Wenjing entered the Li Mansion at the third hour of Xu. She came out of the inside at one moment and stayed for about an hour. When she came out, she seemed to be worried. She went to bed immediately after returning home. She woke up early in the morning, half an hour ago and asked the servants to prepare their cars and horses, saying that they would go out for a long trip. It is said that some friends would be invited, but where they were going, there is no investigation yet." The clerk added: "But we should go north, because there seemed to be a lot of fur and cotton coats in the bags outside, which must be used to keep the cold."

"To the north?" Chen Ji raised his eyes and said slowly: "The north is Xixia and Daliao. The weather in Xixia is still good. Now there is no need to wear winter clothes at this time, so the only possibility is the Liao Kingdom."

The clerk said, "This may not be necessary. Maybe it will take several months to come back, and it may not be necessary if the weather turns cold by then."

"Yeah." Chen Jishou said, "This person is very important. I will tell you my husband's instructions and keep a good look at me. I can't relax at all. When he was traveling, he bumped into someone, talked to someone, and stayed there. These must be found out clearly and not missed. Also, if you have the chance, you can put a few people in, and see if he recruits a groom or guard. Remember, don't be noticed by the other party, but you can't lose it. No matter what he does, I want you to quickly report to the horse at any time and not delay it."

"Yes, Mr. Chen." The clerk agreed without hesitation.

Chen Ji beat him up and couldn't bear it anymore, so he continued, "Leave this matter to the first team to investigate. All the stakes along the way must be covered at any time. Go."

After dismissing everyone, Chen Ji, who was extremely tired, couldn't help but read the previous report, frowned deeply, and murmured to himself: "This person must be not simple!"
