That night, Li Tong returned to the mansion and saw Liu Boji, who was comparing the bronze mirror and comparing the jewelry, and there were a lot of brocade boxes next to the dressing table.

Li Tong stepped forward and asked puzzledly, "Bo Ji, where did these jewelry come from?" ”

Liu Boji smiled and said, "It was rewarded by the third brother!" ”

As she spoke, she held a hairpin inlaid with jewels, measured it on her head, and asked with a smile, "Is it beautiful?" ”

Li Tong smiled and said, "It's beautiful!" Bo Ji looks good in anything! ”

After a pause, he asked, "Bo Ji entered the palace today?" ”

Liu Boji nodded and said, "I haven't seen the imperial sister-in-law for a long time, so I have to be free today, so I will go to the palace to walk around." ”

Li Tong sighed and said, "A few days ago, Your Majesty encountered an assassin, and the nobles were also frightened, so they should go to visit. ”

Liu Boji suddenly thought of something, took out a few silk silks from under a jewelry box, and handed them to Li Tong.

The latter took it curiously and unfolded it to see that it was the title deeds of several shops.

Li Tong was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look, these shops are all located in Nanshi, next to the main street, and the ground is excellent.

After looking at it, he asked in surprise, "What's going on with these shops?" ”

Liu Boji said with a smile: "It was sent to me by my uncle." ”

Li Tong was surprised: "King Zhao? ”

Liu Boji nodded with a smile.

Li Tong asked puzzledly, "Why did King Zhao give you so many shops?" ”

Each of these shops will not be too cheap.

Nanshi is the most luxurious business district in Luoyang City, the daily progress of the gold, the land price here, can be described as an inch of land, look at the land deed, the scale of several shops is not small, add together, how much does it cost?

It was too abnormal for King Zhao to suddenly give Bo Ji such a big gift.

Seeing Li Tong's surprised look, Liu Boji smiled and said, "Uncle came to me this morning and asked me to go and plead with the third brother for Li Zichun." ”

Li Tong's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "You agreed?" ”

Liu Boji nodded as a matter of course and said, "When I entered the palace today, I told the third brother about it by the way, and the third brother also agreed to release him!" ”

Li Tong supported his forehead, Li Zichun was suspected of colluding with assassins and assassinating the Son of Heaven, you go to Your Majesty and plead for Li Zichun, isn't this confused?

These shops are obviously not Zhao Wang's, but his Li Zichun's, you privately accepted Li Zichun's benefits and went to plead for Li Zichun, if this matter spreads, then it will be worth it?

Once His Majesty knows, even if they are brothers and sisters, there will be rifts between them.

Li Tongzheng said: "Bo Ji, we can't accept these shops, we have to return them to King Zhao immediately!" ”

"Why?"

Liu Boji asked puzzled.

Li Tong said meaningfully: "These shops can't be King Zhao's, they must be Li Zichun's." ”

Liu Boji said: "I don't care whose it is, in short, my uncle gave it to me, and it is mine!" ”

The princess has a lot of money and food, and Li Tong, as a guard and Gu Shihou, also has a lot of money and food, but who thinks that she has a lot of money?

Even if Liu Boji is not very proficient in business, she also knows that the shops in Nanshi are very valuable, and now she can't do it if she asks her to return the shops she has got.

Li Tong frowned and said, "Bo Ji, we really can't accept these shops!" If you let Your Majesty know that you have accepted Li Zichun's benefits, and then go to ask for Li Zichun's favor, what will Your Majesty think in your heart?

The brother-sister relationship between the Son of Heaven and the princess, the trust between brothers and sisters, is it worth these shops? ”

On weekdays, Li Tong is very good to Liu Boji, and he is obedient, even if there are stumbles between husband and wife, Li Tong will let Liu Boji go, and he rarely talks to Liu Boji in such a stern tone.

Liu Boji's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "I don't care!" Anyway, I won't return these shops! ”

Then, she looked at Li Tong again, and said angrily: "Li Zichun has nothing to do with assassins, and my uncle came to beg me, how can I refuse?" ”

"You can help, but you can't take these shops!"

"I just won't give it back!"

"......" Li Tong was silent.

looked at Liu Boji for a while, shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out.

Following.

Liu Xiu really informed Deng Chen and asked the Tingwei Mansion to release the two brothers, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu.

The news soon spread to the county government, and the county surprised Dong Xuan, Li Zichun and Li Ziyu were suspected of colluding with assassins, how could the Tingwei Mansion release people so quickly.

Dong Xuan looked up at Zhang Ben, who was not surprised at all, and looked completely natural.

He couldn't help but ask, "County Lieutenant Zhang expected His Majesty to release Li Zichun and Li Ziyu?" ”

"His two brothers have nothing to do with the Assassins, of course Your Majesty will release them both."

"The Tingwei Mansion has cleared up the case so quickly?"

Dong Xuan was incredible.

Zhang Ben snorted out laughing and said, "My county magistrate, this case is not as complicated as you think, why do you think the assassin knows His Majesty's whereabouts so well?" ”

"Why?"

"Your Majesty used himself as bait to deliberately lure the assassin out!"

"What did you say?"

Dong Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Zhang Ben with an incredulous expression.

Zhang Ben looked left and right, and no one else was present.

He approached Dong Xuan and whispered mysteriously: "Your Majesty deliberately left Gongsun Shu's contact code in the place where he passed by, and the person who led Gongsun Shu appeared, it can also be said that His Majesty deliberately exposed his whereabouts to the assassin!" ”

After speaking, he also smiled at Dong Xuan's deep meaning, and he also pondered for a long time before he figured out the whole thing clearly.

Dong Xuan was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and he frowned and said, "This ...... This shouldn't be! How could His Majesty risk his own life and do such a rash thing? ”

If His Majesty deliberately risked his life to lure the assassin to appear, then His Majesty should not only have Long Yuan, Long Zhun, Long Xiao, Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei by his side, but should arrange more manpower.

Besides, His Majesty loves the nobles so much, how could he take the nobles with him?

This simply doesn't make sense.

Zhang Ben said: "I guess, I'm afraid Your Majesty didn't expect that this time there would be so many assassins." ”

The more Dong Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Ben was talking nonsense, and he asked, "How do you know that Your Majesty deliberately lured the assassin out?" ”

"I saw it with my own eyes! His Majesty deliberately left a plum blossom-shaped mark in the place he passed by, which was the contact code used by Gongsun Shu before he made it! ”

"What you saw with your own eyes?"

"I saw it with my own eyes!"

Seeing that Dong Xuan still looked incredulous, Zhang Ben raised his hand and said, "I can swear by the sky!" ”

Dong Xuan still knows Zhang Ben very well, if what he said was not the truth, he would never swear so much and say it conclusively.

But this is too weird, Your Majesty is too risky to do this, not only risking his own life, but also risking the lives of the nobles, which is really incredible.

Zhang Ben felt and said: "The emperor's mind is unfathomable, far beyond the comprehension of a little person like you and me!" ”

Li Zichun and Li Ziyu were completely affected by the assassins, so it was not surprising that His Majesty released them so quickly.

While the two of them were talking, a servant hurriedly came in and said, "My lord, the edict of the Son of Heaven has arrived!" ”

Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben looked upright, and walked out of the lobby quickly to greet the edict of the Son of Heaven.

An attendant took the edict and came to Dong Xuan's approach and sang the contents of the edict.

There were not many words in the edict, that is, Liu Xiu summoned Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben into the palace and asked him about the progress of the rectification of the county government.

After receiving the edict, Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben each changed into clean official clothes and followed the chamberlain into the palace.

Dong Xuan and Zhang Ben had not yet arrived at the palace, but Li Tong came first and asked to see Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu summoned Li Tong.

Li Tong walked into the main hall, and when he saw Liu Xiu, he immediately knelt on his knees and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

He suddenly made this big gift, which stunned Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu got up, walked up to Li Tong, helped him up, and said, "Why is the dimension so gifted? ”

After Li Tong got up, he said: "Recently, Weichen was unwell, and he came to ask His Majesty for his resignation. ”

Liu Xiu's face was dazed, blinked, and did not speak immediately.

Li Tong is suffering from thirst-quenching disease, and Liu Xiu also knows his old problems, but yesterday the little sister also told herself that Dimension has been in good health recently, but today Dimension asked herself to resign on the grounds that her condition was worsening, what are he and his wife doing?

Liu Xiu was silent for a while and asked, "Is the dimensional yuan wronged?" ”

Li Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too worried, Weichen is a concubine and ranks in the ninth qing, who will give Weichen grievances?" ”

Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "Since the dimensional yuan has not been wronged, why did he suddenly resign?" ”

"It's because Wechen is unwell......" "It's nonsense!"

Liu Xiu scolded dissatisfiedly: "Yesterday, I also specially asked my little sister about your old problem, and my little sister said that you are in good health and have not been sick for a long time, and you tell me now, you are going to resign because you are unwell?" ”

Li Tong sighed secretly and knelt on his knees again.

Liu Xiu pulled him hard and said, "You get up and talk to me!" ”

Under Liu Xiu's pull, Li Tong stood up again, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu was even more angry and asked, "Why did Dimension resign?" ”

"Wechen...... Weichen just doesn't want to be an official anymore. ”

"I won't allow you to resign without a suitable reason!"

Wei Wei is ranked in Jiuqing, naturally he is not a petty official, and Wei Wei is in charge of the palace guards, but anyone who can do Wei Wei is a cronie of the Son of Heaven, like Li Guang, a famous general in the period of Emperor Wu, who was born in Wei Wei.

Li Tong is Liu Xiu's brother-in-law and Liu Xiu's best friend, it is precisely because there are so many layers of relationships that Liu Xiu is relieved to hand over the post of guard to Li Tong, and now Li Tong suddenly wants to pick a son, how can Liu Xiu let him go?

Li Tong lowered his head and stopped squeaking again.

Liu Xiu reiterated angrily: "Without a suitable reason, you just don't allow me to resign!" ”

"When Weichen entered the palace this time, he asked His Majesty to resign!"

"I said, no!"

"Weichen must resign."

Liu Xiu looked at Li Tong, he was all angry, and said, "Dimension, you are on a par with me today!" ”

The two of them have known each other for so many years, and they know each other very well.

The more Liu Xiu pondered, the more wrong he became, and asked, "Dimension, what happened, you tell me clearly." ”

Li Tong hung his head and didn't say a word.

Liu Xiu rubbed her chin and looked at Li Tong with scrutinizing eyes, in the whole world, the only person who can make Li Tong so silent is probably his precious sister Liu Boji.

He suddenly asked, "Is it because of Bergie?" ”

Li Tong's body was shocked, and he looked up at Liu Xiu in surprise.

Just looking at his expression, Liu Xiu immediately understood that he had guessed correctly.

He sighed secretly, pulled Li Tong's sleeve, the two sat down together, and he asked, "What the hell is going on, you explain it to me clearly." ”

"This ......" Li Tong was silent for a long time, and then Fang said: "Yesterday, Bo Ji entered the palace and pleaded with His Majesty for Li Zichun's matter. ”

"Hmm."

Liu Xiu responded, waited for a while, and didn't hear Li Tong's words again, he couldn't help urging: "Dimension, are there any words you can't finish in one go?" ”

Li Tong took a deep breath and said, "The reason why Bo Ji pleaded with His Majesty for Li Zichun's matter is because King Zhao came to the princess's mansion and asked Bo Ji for help. ”

"You're going to resign because of this?"

Liu Xiu really wanted to roll his eyes at Li Tong.

Even if Li Tong didn't say it, he could guess what was going on.

It is impossible for the little sister to intercede for Li Zichun in front of her for no reason, and the uncle is embarrassed to come to himself to open this mouth to himself, so he asks the little sister to come to find him, which is not a big deal at all in Liu Xiu's opinion.
