Count your fingers, this should be the third time Li Xin has come to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

The difference is that when he came the first two times, the main master, Pingnanhou Li Shen, was not at home, but this time, he was at home.

Soon, the side door of the Pingnan Hou Mansion opened.

It is normal to not open the middle door to greet Li Xin, with the current status of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, I am afraid that there are only two people in the entire imperial court, Taikang Tianzi and Li Shen, who are qualified to let their family open the middle door to greet them.

The one who came out to greet Li Xin was Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, who was dressed in blue clothes.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Li Shen is a little thinner than before, his cheeks are shriveled, there is no meat, it is obvious that he has taken on unimaginable pressure for more than half a year.

After walking in front of Li Xin, he first glanced at Li Xin, and then smiled: "How did Jing'an Hou come to my mansion?" ”

Li Xin said quietly: "I heard that the parents of the Zheng family in Xingyang arrived in the capital, and His Majesty ordered me to come and see him, and then there is, Li Shangshu has been sick for more than half a year, and His Majesty asked me to come and see Li Shangshu......"

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"Is your health good?"

Li Shen coughed very naturally.

"It's an old disease, and you can't die."

Li Xin smiled.

"Li Shangshu doesn't invite the lower officials to come in and sit down?"

Li Shen is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and now Li Xin is the squire of the Ministry of War, and the two of them are actually subordinate in this world.

Li Shen got out of the way.

"Jing'anhou, please."

Li Xin was also not polite, and walked straight ahead with Chen Sixteen.

Along the road, Li Xin and Li Shen walked side by side.

Jing'an Hou smiled: "Why don't you see Mrs. Hou come out, isn't it uncomfortable?" ”

Mrs. Yu is in a very bad mental state now, and she often sees Li Chun coming back to her, she is in a trance, and she has to drink medicine to sleep, she regards Li Xin as an enemy, so naturally she can't see Li Xin.

These, through the Tianmu Prison, Li Xin all knew, and when he said this, he just wanted to disgust Li Shen.

"The inner person is unwell, so he won't come out to see Jing'anhou."

A playful smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"Hou Ye Li, Xia Guan has not been in the capital for most of the year, and has been staying in his hometown in Yongzhou, does Hou Ye know?"

Li Shen's face was calm.

"I don't know."

Li Xin said with a smile: "When Xiaguan was in Yongzhou, he saw a young man, he said that his name was Li Shuo, I don't know if the Hou Ye recognizes it?" ”

Li Shen's face changed slightly.

He really didn't know that Li Shuo had been to Yongzhou, let alone that Li Shuo had met Li Xin.

Jing'an Hou smiled and said, "If Mrs. Li knows that there is such a young man in southern Xinjiang, how will Master Hou say that Mrs. Li will react?" ”

Pingnanhou was finally moved.

He turned his head to look at Li Xin, who was already about the same height as himself, or even faintly taller, and his voice was cold: "You'd better not do this kind of meaningless thing." ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled happily.

"That's it, it doesn't matter if Mrs. Li knows it or not, but His Majesty doesn't know it today, if I tell him, there is another person named Li Shuo in Southern Xinjiang, Li Hou Ye guess whether Li Shuo will repeat the mistakes of the little Hou Ye Li Chun."

Li Shen stopped.

He looked at Li Xin coldly.

There is a special institution in the palace, what is the specific name no one has a mouth, only know that the common name is Meihuawei, it is the ninth prison in addition to the eight prisons, specializing in murder, the little marquis Li Chun, who died in the hands of Meihuawei.

The Pingnan Hou Mansion has not yet been found out, and who the person who did it at the beginning, that is to say, the person who killed Li Chun in the first place is likely to be still hidden in the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Therefore, Li Shen is very jealous of Meihuawei's people.

It is conceivable that if the current Son of Heaven knew that Li Shen had a son in southern Xinjiang, and knew what his name was, he would definitely do his best to kill this Li Shuo, and he would not live for half a year by then.

Li Shen's face moved, and then he laughed mockingly: "In this way, Jing'an Hou hid Li Shuo's matter from His Majesty. ”

"It's not to hide it, it's just to keep a little more chips in your hand."

Li Xin turned his head to look at Li Shen and smiled: "After all, Hou Ye Li has been in Southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and there is a Li Shuo, maybe there will be a Li Fang, Li Yuan, you can't kill it cleanly, Li Hou Ye, don't you say?" ”

"yes."

Li Shen nodded, and he had regained his composure.

"Originally, you were one of them."

Li Xin originally had the upper hand in this battle, but as soon as Li Shen's words came out, he was instantly furious.

This Jing'an Hou turned his head and looked at Li Shen viciously.

"Hou Ye Li, if you say one more word, I dare to guarantee that Li Shuo will die within three months!"

Li Shen closed his mouth very knowingly, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Young man, don't be too angry."

Li Xin's face was expressionless.

The two marquis, one big and one small, soon arrived at the main hall of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

In terms of scale, the place of Pingnan Hou Mansion is much smaller than Jing'an Hou Mansion, after all, the predecessor of Jing'an Hou Mansion was Qi Wangfu, and the regulation is much higher than that of Pingnan Hou Mansion.

In the main hall of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Zheng Gui, the white-haired head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, sat on the main seat, and after seeing Li Xin coming, he slowly stood up and said to Li Xin: "Xingyang Zheng Gui, I have seen the Marquis of Jing'an." ”

Li Xin returned the salute with a smile: "Mr. Zheng is a great Confucian in the world, and he is not enjoying happiness in Xingyang, how can he come to the capital to die?" ”

Zheng Gui was stunned at first, and then smiled dumbly: "Hou Ye Li said that he was joking, the old man has not broken the law, and the second has not been infected, and he came to the capital to visit relatives, how did he become sent to death?" ”

Li Xin naturally found a place to sit down, picked up a cup of tea by himself, took a sip, and then looked at Zheng Gui with a smile.

"Mr. Zheng, I'm not joking, I don't believe you can ask Hou Ye Li, you Zheng family can't go to the capital."

Li Shen sat on the second seat and said with a smile: "I heard that Marquis Li was ordered by His Majesty to visit his father-in-law, how can he say threatening words, does Your Majesty want you to threaten an old man?" ”

Zheng Gui smiled.

"The old man is over sixty years old this year, and he has seen many people in his life, but it is the first time that the old man has seen someone as straightforward as the Marquis of Jing'an."

After Zheng Gui paused, he continued to smile and said: "It's even rarer to speak so straight and live well. ”

"Speak straight because there is no need to beat around the bush."

Li Xin put down the tea and said indifferently: "What is the situation in the capital now, just pull an official who enters the product, he can tell the old gentleman a thing or two, the Pingnan Hou Mansion is suspected of plotting to assassinate the first emperor, and it has been surrounded by people from the imperial court, don't say that it is the family of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, that is, the descendants of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and they can't get out of Yongle Fang, this is a place where Qin prisoners are under house arrest, but the old man crashed in, do you say this is sent to death?" ”

Zheng Gui stretched his neck very shamefully and said with a smile: "In this case, please let the Marquis of Jing'an do it and kill the old man." ”

Li Shen's face remained unchanged.

He looked at Li Xin lightly.

"What Marquis Jing'an said is not right, who in the court said that His Majesty was harmed by Benhou? Ben Hou is still the secretary of the military department, if he has never been sick, he is still your superior, do you know what it is to slander the general of the Chaozhu State? ”

Li Xin put down the tea cup in his hand, still smiling.

"What does it matter, what is said here, I won't admit it when I get out of this door."

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Zheng Gui.

"But I did come to visit Mr. Zheng on behalf of His Majesty, Your Majesty has been admiring the old gentleman for a long time, if the old gentleman is free, how about entering the palace with me and meeting Your Majesty?"
