In the palace, a figure sneaked around, sometimes hiding to the side, sometimes pretending to look at the scenery, just like a thief. After clashing with the patrolling palace guards, he immediately looked left and west as if nothing had happened. Waiting for the palace After the guard left, he immediately disappeared as if a tiger or wild beast was chasing him. After several twists and turns, the sneaky man finally stepped out of the Daming Palace. The sneaky man on the side street of the palace was Li Ke. Seeing that the palace was separated by a wall, Li Ke couldn't help but let out a breath and patted it. He whispered in his chest: "Ni sister! I won't go back to the palace next time if I'm beaten to death! This place is too dangerous, so I'd better go back to the palace to avoid it!" Recalling the scene just now, Li Ke felt chilly. Originally, Li Ke took the The memorial was scattered, and it was related to the construction of the railway track. Who would have thought that he would happen to meet Mr. Li who was taking metal pills. Mr. Li's unscrupulous way of enjoying himself alone was not as good as that of others, so that Li Ke was frightened and his resistance was ineffective. When I got up and took a pill, it was the metal poison pill that caused the trouble again! Boss Li became obsessed with metal poison pills again and pursued Zi Xuwuyou for immortality. This was something Li Ke had never thought of. What he didn't expect was that Boss Li would just take the metal poison pills by himself, but actually encouraged many of his princes to join him. After taking the pill, Mr. Li, who was deeply poisoned, was still not tired and insisted on taking the poison pill every day. At the same time, another sneaky figure appeared across the wall from Li Ke. Looking at the outline and size of this figure, anyone with a discerning eye could tell his identity at a glance. Li Zhi, the wallflower, had already taken care of him. It's such a simple baggage, and it looks like it's for a long trip. "Hey! That bastardXiao Zhi?!" Li Ke, who collided head-on, was about to curse. When he saw the person he hit clearly, Li Ke had a look of shock and confusion on his face. Look at the baggage that fell instantly after Li Zhi knocked it down. Li Ke suddenly looked puzzled. What does this guy want to do? Leaving the palace? Li Zhi, who accidentally knocked down someone, was originally very scared. If he was caught with his current skills, his butt would definitely explode. But after hearing Li Ke's voice, Li Zhi said in surprise amidst Li Ke's astonishment: "Ke Brother? It's you! Great, Brother Ke, help me! If you don't show mercy, Xiaozhi's life will be lost" "Let go, please let me know! "Say, don't do this!" Li Ke tried his best to shake off Li Zhi with a dark look on his face. Isn't this guy too disappointed? He was actually trying to pull at his belt, but luckily it was tied tightly, otherwise he would have pulled it off. "Okay, Xiao Zhi, if you have anything to do, just tell me! If Brother Ke can help you, he will definitely help you!" He couldn't get rid of Li Zhi's bullishness. Li Ke pretended to surrender with a headache. He really convinced this guy. He was no less good at playing tricks than Cheng Yaojing. The upset Li Ke was really afraid of his half-brother. After getting Li Ke's approval, Li Zhi got up ecstatically and said: "Seriously? Well, Xiao Zhi is going to stay in Brother Ke's palace for a while. Hey, hey Brother Ke, don't be like this, please , Xiaozhi is still young, can you bear to see Xiaozhi being poisoned by his father? Or can you bear it" Li Zhi said with tears and runny nose, which made Li Ke stunned when he heard this. What are these words? Emotional Li Zhi also failed to escape the murderous hands of Boss Li? Li Ke's face turned ugly in an instant. The fact that Boss Li was addicted to taking poison pills was really strange. The more he thought about the impossible, the more Li Ke became obsessed with this aspect. The upset Li Ke scratched his head with one hand. After looking at Li Zhi who was crying and red-eyed, he said in a troubled manner: "Well, is that so? Xiao Zhi, you get up first. We can't judge this matter. Otherwise, Shou Brother may come back at noon. How about we go to Brother Shou's house first and wait for him to come back to discuss it? " "Okay!" Li Zhi stopped crying in time and reluctantly agreed. When the news came that Qin Shou was coming back, Li Zhi immediately found a backbone. It was no longer safe to be in the palace. Those heavy metal elixirs were very harmful to people. Li Zhi was afraid of these fatal elixirs. "Let's go! It's not too late. Brother Ke, I always feel that there is something fishy in it. I'd better wait for Brother Shou to come back before deciding!" The tangled Li Ke patted Li Zhi's thin shoulder and managed to comfort him with words. In fact, Li Ke didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't know if what he was thinking was true. Qin's Restaurant, the business hall is busy and the hall is full of people. People are serving wine and serving food. When it is overcrowded, Mr. Qin, as the owner of the restaurant, voluntarily and voluntarily gives up his throne to let those There were no distinguished guests who had no room for a moment, so he stood up and read through the thick account book. "One thousand three hundred and thirty-seven, two thousand five hundred and eighty-seven" The more he turned back, the more Mr. Qin's hands began to tremble, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He really didn't know what was going on. It was simply shocking that the dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty spent a lot of money here one after another, but they really gaveBut there are not many who have money. Especially Cheng Yaojing's bills. A special account book contains all of Cheng Yaojing's accounts. Mr. Qin estimated that judging from the fact that this ledger can be used to pester people, it is not known that it can be collected only in the year of the monkey. Is it possible that Guan Cheng can't bring the bills with him? Does the eldest lady ask for it? It is estimated that Mr. Qin does not have the courage. "That's enough, that's enough. Which boxes are this food going to be delivered to? Well~~ tell the cooks not to waste food on those top-notch old people!" The upset Mr. Qin impatiently stopped and prepared to deliver the food. The man closed his account book in an extremely unhappy mood. Seeing the sumptuous meals in the hands of the cooks, Mr. Qin felt very unhappy. "Ah? Oh, okay!" After hearing Mr. Qin's words, the male waiters who served the dishes responded in unison and took the dishes back. Mr. Qin had said so, and the male waiters who served the dishes naturally did not dare to have any objections. As for the reason why Mr. Qin interrupted the serving of food, the male waiters did not know and were not in the mood to know too much gossip. A group of important civil and military ministers of the imperial court gathered together in the box. At this moment, there was no tit-for-tat battle in the box. There was only a sense of lifelessness, depression and uneasiness. From time to time, helpless sighs came from the box. The civil and military officials shook their heads, but no one spoke. , and was not in the mood to talk. "Brother Fang, the emperor is now addicted to pills. What should we do? Does Brother Fang have any good ideas?" Wei Zheng, who had been silent all the time, couldn't help it anymore. He spoke immediately to break the silence. Judging from Boss Li's situation, he is gradually becoming thinner and sicker after taking elixirs day after day. I believe something will happen soon. "Alas~~" Fang Xuanling shook his head and pretended to be helpless. If anyone else could say something, it was the emperor. Even if Fang Xuanling was brave, he would not have the ability to dissuade him. It is very important to act according to one's ability. Fang Xuanling Xuan Ling sighed with a thoughtful look on his face. Stubbornness has become Boss Li's character. "Old handsome pot. What do you think?" Yuchi Jingde immediately approached Li Jing, who had remained silent, and asked Li Jing's opinion in a low voice. Since Qin Shou revealed that most of the elixirs since ancient times were heavy metal elixirs, everyone There were more than half of the alchemy Taoists in the Tang Dynasty. Even those who existed were doing so secretly and no longer dared to make alchemy openly. The government was very strict in investigating and dealing with them. Today¡¯s Boss Li is like a mirror of the Tang Dynasty. If Boss Li bans the pills, the people will follow suit and ban the pills. Now Boss Li is addicted to taking pills. Superstitious about the legend of immortality, people began to follow suit again. As a result, some Taoist priests emerged from the darkness and made wanton metal elixirs to collect money, causing great harm to people. "Oh~~just wait and see what happens!" Li Jing shook his head and sighed, picked up a glass of wine and poured himself a glass of wine. What Mr. Li was thinking was not something they, as ministers, could figure out. Mr. Li wanted to dream of immortality, and they If he is blocked repeatedly, it will inevitably arouse Boss Li's resentment and even bring disaster. "Is it possible to just watch the emperor make mistakes again and again?" Yuchi Jingde was extremely dissatisfied and unhappy. Yuchi Jingde knew how harmful the metal pill was, and Qin Shou took innocent animals Experiments are obvious to all. Although humans and animals cannot be compared, they have something in common: they both eat to survive! "If you have the ability, go and persuade the emperor. This is it. Look, what will happen to Mr. Wei now? Do you have the guts?" Li Jing said matter-of-factly under Yuchi Jingde's extremely unhappy expression. The words of reason left Yuchi Jingde speechless and unable to speak in defense. When Boss Li was paranoid about taking elixirs, Wei Zheng repeatedly tried to dissuade him. His tone was harsh and did not leave any room for mercy, which made Boss Li feel very embarrassed. In anger, Wei Zheng dismissed Wei Zheng from his official position and asked him to go home for retirement. After repenting, he made up his mind. This move shocked many loyal ministers into retreat. For a while, calm returned to the box. No one spoke. Everyone was so closely thinking about what they were thinking. Boss Li's paranoid dream of immortality really left the ministers helpless and speechless. No one dared to say anything. I have caused trouble by myself. After several meetings, I still haven¡¯t found the ideal solution. At three quarters in the afternoon, Qin Shou rushed back to Chang'an as scheduled. Before returning home, Qin Shou felt that there was a disharmonious atmosphere in Chang'an. Taoist priests who used to silence the relics were walking around the streets, and even peddling heavy metal elixirs. The government responsible for public security The soldiers passing by along the road all had expressions of disinterest and no intention of chasing them away or arresting them. "What's going on?" Qin Shou frowned as he looked at the Taoist priests outside the street selling metal pills. The people were rushing to buy the metal pills, which made Qin Shou feel very uncomfortable. He knew it was poisonous but had to pay to try it himself. Poison, is your brain flooded? Or are times changing too quickly? Too fast for you to adapt to? "Qin Lang, doesn't the emperor advocate banning elixirs? Why do some people dare to sell metal elixirs that are harmful to people today?" Cheng Shanshan witnessed the scene of ignorant people asking for elixirs with large sums of money, and spent a large sum of money to buy back a chronic¡ª¡ª poisonDan, just feed it to innocent children to cure illnesses and save lives. Isn¡¯t this obviously adding insult to injury? Zixuan didn't know much about metal elixirs, so she didn't say much to express her opinions. Along the way, she could see Taoist priests walking all over the street, and she could even see many wealthy merchants chasing after Taoist priests, making bad talk and spending a lot of money. , I was confused for a moment, when did Taoist priests surpass the monks who used to beg for alms on the streets? Qin Shou did not speak, nor did he make any words to explore the reasons. At this moment, Qin Shou was thinking about one thing, thinking about the words of Poison King Xu Zhimo, life and death are determined by destiny. If you can break the situation, how can you save it? After pondering for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the meaning of Poison King Xu Zhimo's words. What does it mean to break the situation and save the situation? Qin Shou didn't know and didn't understand. "Alas, the Emperor's star is in despair. The chaos has begun, and fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable!" Yuan Shengun's seemingly numb eyes were suddenly bright and dim, and then dim and colorless, as if he had seen something but refused to say it. Qin Shou, who was in a bad mood, deliberately attacked. But a quick voice. Distracting Qin Shou's thoughts, he temporarily let Yuan Shengun go. "Brother Ke? Xiao Zhi? Stop!!" Qin Shou looked at the two familiar figures outside the street with some astonishment, and promptly shouted to stop the team's advance. The guards did not dare to stop Li Ke and Li Zhi from rushing in. The two guards were already familiar with each other, so naturally they did not dare to stop the two princes Li Ke and Li Zhi. "Brother Shou, you came back at the right time! Sigh~ If you had come back later, brother Shou, we don't know whether we would still be alive to see you!" Li Ke immediately fell down as soon as he got on the steam car. Vomiting bitter water like a sieve. It's just that there is no crying sound that is well performed. "Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Shou looked at Li Ke and Li Zhi with a sweaty expression on his face. He put away his confusion and looked up and down at Li Ke and Li Zhi. He began to wonder, what is going on? There were so many questions in his heart, and Qin Shou didn't know where to start. He just felt that the atmosphere when he came back today was a bit strange. Li Zhi thought that Qin Shou didn't believe it, so he said in a serious manner: "No, brother Shou, if you come back later, I'm afraid Xiao Zhi will lead his father to take pills every day. Look, Xiao Zhi was forced to take pills for several days and lost five pounds. He went to the hut seven or eight times a day and squatted for half an hour" Qin Shou stopped Li Zhi's next words with a headache. With a black line on his face and annoyance, he said: "Yes, yes, don't say those disgusting things of yours. It's off-putting. Brother Ke, what is going on? Why did the atmosphere in Chang'an change when Brother Shou came back?" Has he become so powerful?" Li Ke rubbed his forehead with one hand and said with a sigh: "Alas~~Brother Shou, you don't know something. Ever since you went to find some immortality pill, your father started to do it again. I'm obsessed with elixirs, and I don't know why. I actually issued an imperial list and announced that the world is looking for immortality elixirs" "This is already happening?" Qin Shou heard this and became a man. This is too much. Bar? Although Li Ke didn't say much, Qin Shou roughly understood the specific process, but was Boss Li looking for the elixir dream too quickly? The scourge of metal pills that had just subsided before has now risen again. It is really a headache. If I had known, I would not have spoken the truth. Thinking of what he had said when he left, Qin Shou suddenly felt regretful. It seems that today's mistake came from him. Qin Shou miscalculated Mr. Li's dream of immortality, and even miscalculated the impact of the elixir of immortality on the emperor. The fatal temptation, where in the world can such a mysterious elixir of youth come from? Li Zhi seemed to be afraid that Qin Shou would forget his existence, and started to instigate gossip: "Not only that, when his father was addicted to pills, Mr. Wei once corrected his father not to get lost. At first, his father could still To be patient, it was just a verbal dispute that ended innocuously. But later, Mr. Wei saw his father taking pills and corrected him, which angered his father. As a result" "Wei Zheng was also dismissed?" Hearing Li Zhi's words, Qin Shou was shocked. Wei Zheng dared to criticize without fear of the powerful, and his spirit is commendable. He contradicted Boss Li about his mistakes. Qin Shou felt that it was normal. If Wei Zheng had not stood up to contradict him, Qin Shou would have felt that there was something fishy inside. Cheng Shanshan and Zixuan remained silent. They could not understand these things, and even if they could understand them, they did not want to get involved. The two women moved aside to take care of Liu Biying who was resting during the journey, while Yuan Shengun looked thoughtful. , without any intention of language publication. "Yes!" Li Ke firmly affirmed the authenticity of the news. Wei Zheng's dismissal has long been known to the whole city. Qin Shou's return gave Li Ke some hope that Qin Shou could persuade Boss Li not to be obsessed with pills. , if Boss Li has any shortcomings, Li Ke himself may not be in a good mood. "Brother Shou, what happened in the palace after I left Chang'an? Did your prince brother do anything?" He couldn't understand why Boss Li was paranoid about taking pills, so Qin Shou could only say:For the time being, they started by inquiring about the news in the palace. Su Ye did not come to report, so Qin Shou did not know the truth of the collective incident for a while. After Qin Shou's reminder, Li Ke thought hard for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "Oh! By the way, I heard that my father favored the newly chosen one not long after you left Chang'an. "Mistress, my father will gradually become addicted to pills. I don't know if this news is useful or not!" Is there something wrong?" After hearing Li Ke's explanation, Qin Shou pondered carefully for a moment, and finally gave Li Ke and Li Zhi's reply. He could only do his best in this matter, and Qin Shou would not mess with things within his power. Go in. "Yes! Brother Ke just wants to ask Master Yuan, is there a toxin that can detoxify metal pills?" Li Ke revealed his unspeakable secret with a bitter look on his face, and swallowed a few pills for Mr. Li. Li Ke's stomach was now tumbling. It goes on and on, and I feel a lot of frustration and frustration. If I finally get caught, I will definitely ask for medicine to defend myself. "It will be fine if you go to the hut a few times and squat a few times. Brother, I have something to do. Please go out for a while!" Yuan Shengun replied angrily to Li Ke's request. When he turned his eyes, he discovered something. Don't wait. Qin Shou agreed and hurriedly stood up and ran out quickly, leaving Li Ke who was stunned and unresponsive. (To be continued)
