Not long after, Wei Bo hurried over. Since he secretly helped Ji Xu get rid of Li Chongrun three years ago, he has mastered the execution power of the Luling Palace's huge sum of money. How to use the huge sum of money is decided by Princess Wei, but how much is not. His power.
Without the supervision of Li Chongrun, he has lived a luxurious life in Luoyang in recent years. He has bought more than a dozen houses with more than ten acres in Chang'an and Luoyang. But in front of Princess Wei, he will become Another look, plainly dressed, respectful, and more obedient than a dog.
Of course Princess Wei also knew that Wei Bo would make some money, but as long as Wei Bo was willing to do things, she wouldn't care about that little bit of money, but she never dreamed of how much Wei Bo made.
"Nephew meets aunt!"
Wei Bo knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. In the past three years, he had grown fatter than a pig. In addition, he was already tall and strong, which made him even more bulky, which made the petite Princess Wei extremely dissatisfied.
"You seem to have gained weight again!"
Princess Wei looked at him with disgust and asked coldly: "I asked you to control your diet, have you done it?"
Wei Bo swallowed his saliva and said with a sad face: "Reporting to my aunt, my nephew only eats two meals a day. I seem to be gaining weight even if I drink water."
"I don't care how many meals you eat a day, I only warn you, if I see you getting fat again next time, you should stop doing things for me and leave everything to Chong Jun. Do you hear me?"
Wei Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Nephew, I remember."
Princess Wei stopped worrying about this matter. She took out two reports and asked: "Your brother wrote a report in a few days, saying that he was training 6,000 warriors, but the report two months ago was that he was training 8,000 warriors. Why?" How can you explain to me that there are two thousand people missing?¡±
Wei Bo's face trembled, and he said after a while: "It should be training new warriors. As far as my nephew knows, a group of warriors no longer need training, and they are probably about two thousand people."
"You'd better be honest with me and don't play tricks on the number of people. I'm going to inspect each manor in a few days, and I will give you a schedule then."
Wei Bo's face turned pale, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Fortunately, Princess Wei was thinking about more important things, so she did not cross-examine Wei Bo carefully on this matter, nor did she notice Wei Bo's abnormality. She said again: " I came to you today because I have something more important for you to do. I heard that Yao Xiangguo has a son studying in his hometown of Shaanxi County. You take a group of people to Shaanxian County and bring his son to Luoyang for me. Be careful. One thing, don¡¯t let anyone discover him, and don¡¯t hurt his son, you hear me?¡±
"My nephew understands. My nephew will go back and make arrangements. We will set off early tomorrow morning."
Wei Bo left the Luling Palace, got on the carriage, and ordered: "Go back to Renzhengfang!"
Wei Bo has at least eight houses in Luoyang, but he lives in a ten-acre mansion in Renzhengfang. In the carriage, Wei Bo's face was as gloomy as water, and he was thinking about how to deal with his aunt's visit to various manors.
They had already had an experience. Three years ago, their aunt planned to inspect manors in various places. However, the Li Chongrun incident broke out and her aunt canceled the inspection. So this time, similar methods will be used. Wei Bo thought of Li Chongjun and might be able to use it. He came to stop his aunt's inspection plan.
The carriage drove into Renzhengfang and slowly stopped in front of a large house. Several men quickly helped the fat and fat Wei Bo out of the carriage.
Wei Bo returned to his room, only to find that all his maids were gone. He couldn't help but get furious, "Come out all of them! If you don't come out, see how I deal with you and sell you all to a brothel."
At this time, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind the screen next to her, "It's unbelievable that a descendant of the famous Webster family would say such vulgar words!"
"Who is it?" Wei Bo was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up.
I saw a noble lady walking out from behind the screen. Soon, a large number of black warriors came out of the nearby rooms and surrounded him. The noble lady stepped forward and stared at him coldly, "Wei Bo, you Do you know me?"
"You are you are Princess Taiping!"
Wei Bo recognized this woman and was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "I pay homage to the princess!" He kowtowed repeatedly.
Princess Taiping smiled faintly, "Wei Bo, you actually bought seventeen houses, all ten acres. You are very rich! I am very curious, where does your money come from? Can you tell me? "
Wei Bo didn¡¯t expect that Princess Taiping would control his background. He turned pale and said after a while, ¡°What do you want to do?¡±
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you something." Princess Taiping sat down opposite him and said calmly.
"What's up?"
"I want to know, Wei YouningDid you arrange for someone to assassinate him? "
"No!" Wei Bo shook his head hurriedly, "I have never done such a thing."
"It seems you are unwilling to tell the truth."
Princess Taiping ordered: "First cut him ten pounds of flesh!"
"I said!"
Wei Bo was so frightened that he screamed, "I said it! I said it!"
"That's right, be honest, if you make me unhappy, I'll chop you into meat paste and feed it to the dogs!"
Wei Bo was frightened. How did he know about Wu Youning? He said nonsense: "I have never done it, but I know that it was Li Chongjun who led people to assassinate Wu Youning."
Princess Taiping¡¯s expression changed, she pulled out a dagger and put it against his neck, ¡°Are you telling the truth?¡±
Wei Bo was just talking nonsense at first, but he suddenly realized that he could use Princess Taiping to get rid of Li Chongjun for him, so that his aunt would cancel the plan. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
He was originally an extremely vicious person, but at this time he suddenly said: "I heard what my aunt told me. She said that I was not good at doing things, so I was not asked to do the assassination of Wu Youning. It was left to Li Chongjun." , I remember very clearly that I was very jealous of Li Chongjun at that time.¡±
"When did it happen?" Princess Taiping asked again.
"Probably a few days before Wu Youning was assassinated! Later I heard that Wu Youning was just assassinated, and I even mocked Li Chongjun for his incompetence in doing things."
Even though Princess Taiping was extremely shrewd, she was still deceived by this pig-like man. She believed what Wei Bo said. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn bitch, I will settle this account with you properly."
Seeing that she believed it, Wei Bo was secretly happy and said: "This matter is actually Li Chongjun's intention. My aunt asked him to be responsible for the implementation of the suggestions and plans he put forward. The culprit is Li Chongjun."
"I have my own sense of discretion, but you seem to have no use value anymore."
Wei Bo was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged: "The villain knows a lot of things. Please spare my life. I am willing to tell the princess everything."
Princess Taiping was startled. She didn¡¯t expect Wei Bo to be so useless and frighten him so much with just a few words. She sneered mockingly: ¡°With a nephew like you, Wei Lian is really like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.¡±
She sat down again, "Go ahead! Tell me everything you know. I'm all ears. But if you dare to tell a lie, see how I deal with you."
"I say! I say! My aunt just gave me an order to go to Shaanxi County to kidnap Yao Chong's son."
At night, Li Zhen and several followers came to the Jiuquan Restaurant opened by his eldest sister. Li Quan opened three large restaurants in Luoyang, namely Jiuquan Restaurant, Dunhuang Restaurant and Zhangye Restaurant. Among them, Jiuquan Restaurant has become one of the three largest restaurants in Luoyang. One of the restaurants is full of customers every day and the business is very prosperous.
Li Quan is not in Luoyang, but in Chang'an. The Quan's Trading Company in Chang'an is the headquarters of her business empire. She has lived in Chang'an for many years with her adopted daughter. Li Quan's adopted daughter is the orphan that Li Zhen held back then. She is already twelve years old. At the age of 18, she became more and more beautiful. Her official name was Li Zhao. This was the name given to her by her uncle Li Zhen. Everyone called her Zhao Niang.
Jiuquan Tower is in charge of a big shopkeeper surnamed Hu. He is a middle-aged man with a kind face. He knows Li Zhen. When he saw Li Zhen coming in, he hurriedly greeted him, "How come the general has time to come? He is a rare visitor!"
"Shopkeeper Hu, someone should be waiting for me!"
Shopkeeper Hu looked both ways, "General, please follow me."
Walking out of the small door on the first floor, they came to the courtyard behind the restaurant. Jiuquan Tower not only had a four-story main building, but also more than a dozen small courtyards, which were usually reserved by the rich and powerful. They came to a small courtyard In front of him, a big man stood at the door. He recognized Li Zhen and saluted quickly, "My master is waiting for the general in the room."
Li Zhen walked into the yard. There were four more strong men in the yard. At this time, Li Chengqi walked quickly, smiled and saluted: "The general came on time, please! Father is waiting in the room."
Li Zhen nodded and walked directly into the room. The room was brightly lit. Behind a small table, Li Dan, dressed in green and wearing a small hat, looked at Li Zhen with a smile on his face. Li Zhen quickly knelt down on one knee and saluted, "In this humble position, I see you." Your Highness!¡±
"General Li, please get up quickly!"
Li Dan quickly helped Li Zhen up, and said with a smile: "Today is a private party, there is no need to be formal, please sit down!"
Li Zhen could only sit down, while Li Chengqi stood aside. At this time, Li Zhen saw Li Longji standing in the corner and couldn't help but smile: "Your Highness, we haven't seen each other for several years!"
Li Longji hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I will bear in mind the skills of riding and archery given by General Meng."
At that time, Li Longji worshiped Li Zhen as his master, but after many years, this nominal master-disciple relationship has long been forgotten. There is no saying that one day is a master and a lifetime is a father.
Li Zhen smiled and said: "I'm just teaching you how to get started. The key is your own hard training, but I'm really happy to see you."
?????????????????????????????? Li Zhen was a little surprised that three fathers and sons from one sect came to see him, this was not an ordinary courtesy.
At this time, several bartenders came in with wine and food, and filled the table with wine and food. Li Dan filled a glass of wine for Li Zhen and said sincerely: "Thanks to the persuasion of the general, Yao Xiangguo turned to support me. The gratitude in my heart is beyond words, so I invite the general to drink this cup.¡±
"Your Highness, you're welcome. Li Zhen just did his duty as a minister."
He picked up the wine glass and drank it down. Li Dan laughed, "Okay! The general is indeed a cheerful person."
Li Zhen grabbed the jug and served Li Danman wine. He said with some regret: "I feel a little ashamed that I could not persuade Zhang Jianzhi to change his mind."
"General, there is no need to apologize. I believe that time will slowly change Zhang Xiangguo's mind. We will have a long time to come."
At this time, Li Chengqi winked at his father, and Li Dan understood. He took out a gold medal from his arms, put it on the table and pushed it to Li Zhen, "This is a little bit of my heart. It is really difficult to express my feelings for the general." Gratitude is replaced by this gold medal.¡±
Li Zhen was slightly startled. He didn¡¯t understand why Li Dan gave him this gold medal? He picked up the gold medal and saw the word "double exemption" engraved on it. He looked at Li Dan in confusion.
Li Dan smiled and said: "Although the king is the minister, it is impossible for the ministers to make mistakes. This is my personal gold medal. If the general unfortunately makes a mistake in the future, no matter what the crime is, this gold medal can save the general twice." "
Li Zhen understood immediately. Although Li Dan didn't say it explicitly, this gold medal was actually a death-free gold medal, and it could save him from two death sentences. This was equivalent to two iron coupons of alchemy books.
He secretly admired Li Dan's mind, and used this gold medal to tie himself to his interests, drawing a big pie out of thin air for himself. If he wanted to eat this pie, he could only ensure that he ascended to the throne.
Li Zhen nodded silently and put the gold medal in his arms, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
