"But he still has the same heart as King Zhao."

"So what? We and him all need. Even if King Zhao takes the opportunity to take power, it will not be a bad thing for us."

“That’s true.”

Several people from the Pu family were talking about it, but in the end they had a consensus conclusion. If it was really a mess, the best result would be to win the chaos, gain the power of the founding of the government, suppress the civil unrest, and eventually take over the power, block Xu Zi first, and ask this kid to die in the Dongfan.

Pu Shougao shook his head and smiled. Deep in his heart, of course, he didn't really hope that Fujian Road would be completely messed up. The Pu family's foundation is in Tianfang, but the Pu family's foundation is in Fuzhou. Hundreds of tribesmen have branched out and taken root here. Although they follow all the customs of the people of Tianfang, their way of thinking and living habits sometimes have many similarities with the Wei people. In particular, the Pu family's interests are in Dawei, and Fujian Road is full of their shops. Once destroyed by war, the Pu family's interests will be lost by about 60% to 70%, leaving only a small part of foreign trade.

With such an ending, as the clan leader, even if he can use Pu Xingfeng to suppress his clan members, Pu Shougao's prestige will inevitably fall to the bottom, and no one will respect and love the leader of his clan again.

Pu Shougao's face gradually turned gloomy. He could not refuse Pu Xingfeng's orders at all, nor did he dare to refuse. Now he could only see how Li Gu controls the business. Once the matter starts, what will happen in the end, and he can only wait for the decision of God's will.

...

Bald Luo was eating and drinking in the stinky prison cell. He sat cross-legged on the ground, pulled off the large pieces of boiled dog meat, covered with garlic, stuffed them into his mouth, and then drank a large sip of wine. Seeing him eating like this, all the Fujian people around him shook their heads.

"You southern barbarians know a bird." Luo Dwarf laughed and scolded: "What are your bird foods? What are the fried oysters and boiled sea fish? There are so few meats and thorns. What kind of birds are delicious? You have to eat meat in large pieces, beef, donkey meat, dog meat, mutton, and cook them in a big pot. Just eat them in garlic, and drink them in big mouthfuls, which will make your life worthwhile."

Baw Luo was in a good mood. He had completed the task successfully and escaped. For people like them, losing the wind is common. He has been in prison several times, but the taste here is really bad. It is considered a bad luck. He has already planned that after going out, he has to take a good bath, wash the bad luck on his body, and then return to Jianzhou, or Quzhou, and then find the leader Li Kaiming, the man in blue robe, and go back to report his life.

Li Kaiming and Luo Aozi were both Qinfeng passers-by. Qinfeng Road in the Great Wei Dynasty adjusted and merged the northwest roads at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The government was still in Fengxiang, and the original Xihe Road, Yanzhou and other roads, prefectures and prefectures were merged. In this way, the Qinfeng Road had a large range, with more than 20 prefectures and prefectures and more than 100 counties. Only in this way can a whole be formed to fight against the Northern Lu and the Western Qiang.

In addition, Hedong Road and Yongxing Jun Road are also important towns in Hedong, northwest, and Hebei Road and Jingbei Road are all important military towns along the border to fight against foreign races.

Li Kaiming and Luo Zhenbang are both security guards in the north of Yanzhou. They are both born in military camps. This is a common thing in the northwest, and it is not surprising.

Luo Zhenbang failed to study and failed to pass the scholars after many times. He had to rely on some miscellaneous books he read to start selling his mouth and telling the divination. After more than ten years of hard work, he has made some famous names.

But he was unwilling to spend his whole life together. When Li Kaiming and other thieves were uprising one after another, Luo Zhenbang also took the initiative to participate. In the past few years, from a group of border soldiers, postmen, bankrupt farmers, to bandits who gathered together, Luo Zhenbang had experienced many wars, and was arrested many times in disguise to inquire about the news. Two times were redeemed, and once almost beheaded. A few days before the execution, Li Kaiming led his troops to break through the county town and rescued him from the county prison. It was very dangerous.

After the update, it was quiet all around, and there were snoring sounds everywhere in the cell, one after another. At this time, several men entered the cell under the leadership of the prisoner. Until Luo Xiaozi's cell, the prisoner opened the cell and said, "Luo Xiaozi, come out."

Luo Zhenbang had been drowsy and had been sitting and napping, but at this moment he jumped up. He felt quite uneasy and said, "How could he be transferred to prison at this time?"

A man in a black robe said coldly: "Don't talk too much or cause trouble, otherwise you will suffer."

Luo Xiaozi was a Lingxingren. He laughed and said, "Since brothers say that, then I will do it next. Those who come out to run around the world rely on the care of their friends."

"If you are obedient, you won't suffer any loss."

The man in black was also satisfied with the attitude of the dwarf in the north in front of him, and nodded, causing the two to put the dwarf Luo in the left and right. Several men walked through the dark and deep prison corridor. No one spoke, and the surroundings were dark and smelled extremely bad. Many people were not asleep, but they had no intention of caring about the affairs here. Some were ordinary people arrested because they could not afford the tax. They were extremely adaptable to the prison. They were still tossing and turning in the middle of the night, moaning or crying in a low voice.

After turning many times from the clamping path, I got on a decent passage. Without the jailer, it was difficult for ordinary people to easily walk out of the maze-like prison. After leaving the door, I was greeted by the refreshing air in the middle of the night in summer, which made people feel cool and comfortable. I lived in the hot, breathable and extremely smelly prison for many days, even Luo Xiaozi was very accustomed to it.

In this environment, I couldn't help but take a long breath, and the pores on my body seemed to be open, and I felt a little comfortable.

The same was true for those big men who escorted the short man Luo, with a comfortable expression on his face.

No matter what, no one likes to stay in that environment for a long time.

Everyone came out of the side door of the government office. Luo Xiaozi was quite familiar with the road... At that time, all the county and prefecture government offices were the same. The prison was located on the left side of the main hall of the yamen. From the side door, there was a neat bluestone road. The night wind was blowing, and it was almost mid-August, and the weather began to become cooler, which was particularly obvious at night.

Luo Dwarf was very tame and followed everyone onto the carriage, lowering his head and not looking at both sides of the road. He knew that what happened tonight was quite strange, and he might have life worries... He did not make Luo Dwarf afraid when he was in prison, but what happened in front of him made him feel something extraordinary.

The carriage stopped for a short while, and several men still grabbed Luo Dwarf Luo in the middle of the seat. The man in charge opened the door and got out of the car. Luo Dwarf couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with this guy, bringing him down?"

The man glanced at Luo Xiaozi, grinned and said, "Waiting for news."

"What news?"

"Don't ask about this anymore, just wait."

Bald guy felt a sarcastic feeling in the man's eyes, and he felt a little cold. He suddenly realized that whether he was living or dead was probably decided in the message he was conveyed.

At this point, the short guy Luo didn't care. He half-lying on the wall of the carriage and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait. Fortunately, I've already eaten and drunk before that."

Several big men looked at the calm northern dwarf with admiration. They also had a clear aura of the world. They also had a little respect for the heroes like Luo Dwarf who were not afraid of life and death and were calm before the life and death threshold. Besides, Luo Dwarf's identity has been found to be a famous hero in the north, he is very resourceful and good at decisive, and is a very outstanding strategist among the bandits. There are many legendary stories about this person in the market, and the most famous is the ability to tell fortunes. Such people are often associated with some mysterious strategists among the people. Many prophecies are fabricated by them, full of mystery, which makes people's awe of this kind of characters even stronger.

...

"Chen Shancai, Li Yong and others have been sent out?"

"Yes, everyone has brought it up and brought it to the master's house to wait for news."

"Yeah, I get it."

It is not difficult to bribe the officials of the government office and bring Luo Zhenbang out of prison. Li Gu has his own information and knows a lot of things in the world, and things that officials in the yamen cannot know. People in the world have known about it for a long time.

For example, Luo Zhenbang's identity is very easy to check. The bottom file of his graphics, pictures and text descriptions is in the government office and the Imperial Office. Those officials of the Confucians were slightly responsible, and the identity of this short man had long been found.

Of course, the money to make money was spent from the money given by the Pu family. It was a huge sum of money. Li Gu had already withdrawn a small part of it, but most of it was not moved.

If you don’t get support, the connections in the Zhao royal family cannot be used at all. If you want to do the current major event, Li Gu, an aide, can do nothing.

In the palace, King Zhao lives in the main hall and several exquisite courtyards. Xu Ziwei lives in the east courtyard, and he also took away a considerable place. The other princes lived in the west courtyard. They were not married yet. Xu Ziwen was already old, but he had never chosen a suitable partner to marry... The nobles' wives did not pay attention to appearance, let alone female red knitting. The most important thing is the family. Marriage will bring benefits to both families. However, in the current situation, the range of choices for King Zhao's mansion is too small.

Those civil servant families were happy to marry their daughter to Xu Ziwen a few years ago. Xu Ziwen was handsome and elegant, and his literary talent was outstanding on Fujian Road, and his elegant collection was even famous in the Wei Dynasty. But now it is different. Most civil servants have turned to Xu Zixian because of the marriage between the Changwen Hou Mansion and the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion. Xu Zixian's ability, talent, virtue and ethics are trusted by the civil servants. Xu Ziwen's literary talent is pale and vulnerable compared to the real interests.

Those who are willing to marry Xu Ziwen now are mostly those rich businessmen who have no real power and want to marry their daughter into a high-ranking family. If they don’t get any benefits, they will be benefited by the other party. It is a loss for the Zhao royal family. If they want women, these noble men will have as much as they want, and the wife who can provide help and the family behind her will be meaningful.

Now Xu Ziwen is no longer worthy of King Zhao to give him more resources. He has not settled his marriage after the age of twenty, so King Zhao's attitude is quite obvious.

The people in the mansion were all rumored that this was because they leaked the poisoning of the King of Qi, they were not careful in their actions, and they had no real ability... Xu Ziwei was also a fool, and at least he could ride a horse into the military camp, show his courage, and lead the army on the surface. Xu Ziwen was a literary scholar with no power. Decades ago, when civil servants were in power, the literary family was highly valued. Now it is obvious that in the troubled times, scholars are useless.

After dark, Li Gu returned to the palace and met King Zhao first. He didn't talk about anything important. He had dinner with the other Qing guests and got up and left. King Zhao returned to the back house to rest.

Li Guqi

He did not return to his residence, his affairs had already begun, and whether he succeeded depends on the next efforts.

When he was walking towards Xu Ziwen's residence, Li Gu also asked himself why he did this. When this thought arose in his mind, Li Gu's steps stopped for a while and did not move for a while.

The servants who passed by were very strange. Seeing the confidant Zhao Wang's confidant standing in the road with a dull expression, people carefully moved away and avoided themselves, not daring to disturb Li Gu's thoughts.

After a while, Li Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head and continued to move forward.

He already understood that the reason for doing this was very simple, out of fear.

The previous tricks and conspiracies of King Zhao to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion were mostly made by Li Gu's contribution.

Once Xu Zi finds out everything first, he may not be able to take ruthless measures against King Zhao and his son, and do things in a way that will be done. This is obvious to deal with Li Gu, or Li Gu's family.

There was no turning back when he was drawn. Since he had done things, King Zhao had the capital to hesitate and hesitate. He was the emperor's biological father. Even if Xu Zi controlled the whole of Fujian first, and even became the biological father of the next emperor and became the governor of the Wei Dynasty more than ten years later, he could not openly arrest King Zhao, and even gave King Zhao some decentness. The relationship between relatives and blood cannot be left in the royal family.

A dark-hearted aide like Li Gu happened to introduce the punishment of the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was beheading in Dongshi, hanging, secretly assassinating, confiscating the property, or exiling Li Gu's family, this was obvious.

Li Gu also quite understood that if he didn't make any effort, the terrible ending would be a few years later, three years, or five years? It wouldn't be too long.

For a while, Li Gu felt that Xu Zi was not like a cruel and ruthless person at first. He was gentle to people and had a good manners, as if he was not the character of a hero. But then he thought about it, the ruthless king of Zhongshan was beheaded by thousands of heads on the streets of Fuzhou, which attracted more than 100,000 people to watch.

In the battle of Qizhou, Chen Yutai and his subordinates were beheaded, leaving almost no living mouth.

The same is true for the battle between the two thieves in Luzon. He would rather search and search and spend a lot of effort than pardon a pirate who should be killed.

Now the Jingguan of the Dongfan is on the coast, and every passing boat will take a detour to the Dongfan just to take a look at the spectacular hillside made of tens of thousands of heads.

Such a hero cannot be guessed by common sense. If Xu Zixian thought that Li Gu deserves to die and his crimes are not to be punished, then no matter how many benefits he promised or how much profit he gave, Li Gu would believe that he was dead.

It is precisely because of this fear and this biting fear that Li Gu is trying hard to do it. If he is willing to give up everything in front of him and give up his identity and absconding, there is no way. King Zhao trusts him very much and is not too careful. The net opened by the guards in secret is not very tight. He can escape with his family, Jiangling and Guangzhou, and even go to Southeast Asia, which is not unacceptable to Fuzhou people... The Li Gu family has relatives in Lanfang Kingdom, some in Siam or Champa, and they can live anywhere they go.

But Li Gu didn't want to do that, nor did he want to do that.

So now there is only one way to go. Two desperate people are swaying in the water. Can they struggle to get ashore or make a way out?

...

"Mr. Li?"

Xu Ziwen's hair was not combed, his face was not shaved, his beard grew very long, and there were oily spots on his moon-white robe. For this handsome prince of the royal family, the image of the homeless man in front of him was simply unimaginable.

When he saw Li Gu enter the door, Xu Ziwen with his hair was full of confusion in his eyes. He said to Li Gu: "Why is Mr. Li having the time to come to me?"

Li Gu was at least a confidant counselor of King Zhao and had a certain number of connections in the Zhao Mansion. His status was actually above the unsuccessful young man like Xu Ziwen.

In recent months, Xu Ziwen has no choice but to meet King Zhao at all. Li Gu has to meet King Zhao every day, and sometimes even talk all night long. For people like emperors, political interests are the most priority. Those who can help get close to each other. Those who can't help will be close to each other. Even the ones who can't help will be left aside.

King Zhao didn't see Xu Ziwen at any time, and even when he saw him, he glanced coldly. Xu Ziwen had seen him so much that he wanted Xu Ziwen to die. Now he didn't want to see his father at any time. The already indifferent father-son family affection has long disappeared.

"Have you ever thought about the future?"
