Chapter 766: Li Tai takes the lead in pretending to be a beggar (one change)
"You're saying that these beggars are all under control, so what's the use of these beggars?" Hua Nan asked Xu Tianda puzzled.
"I don't really know what these beggars can do. However, I feel that it is definitely not a normal thing for a state capital to have no beggars. Xu Tianda said to Huanan.
"It's not too difficult to investigate this matter, he can control all the beggars in Yizhou City, but he may not be able to control all the beggars in Yizhou."
"So as long as we expand the scope of our search, we will definitely be able to find out why." Luo Huan thought for a while and spoke.
"It's an option, but don't worry about it. Otherwise, not only will we fail to achieve our intended goal, but it will also make the other party vigilant. Li Tai nodded and said.
……
Over the next few days, everyone was sent out by Li Tai. It is necessary to make every move of this Yizhou City clear.
After all, now Li Tai can already be sure that Li Ke, the king of Shu, is indeed plotting what the plan is. Although now is not the time to move him, at least take everything into your own hands.
On this day, Li Tai had just had lunch and was chatting with Wu Meiniang about nothing. I heard Li Tianming come to inform Li Tai that Luo Huan, Huanan and Xu Tianda were back.
"Mei Niang, you can rest by yourself for a while. I'll be with you when I'm done with business. Li Tai said to Wu Meiniang beside him.
After Li Tai finished speaking, he got up and left the room with Li Tianming. Arrived in Xu Tianda's room. When the three of them saw Li Tai coming, they all got up and saluted Li Tai.
Then Xu Tianda opened his mouth and said to Li Tai: "Lord, as we expected, there is indeed something wrong with the beggar in Yizhou City. Even in several counties under Yizhou City, there is not a single beggar. ”
However, after inquiries by his subordinates, he learned that these beggars had disappeared within nearly a year. In the past, Yizhou, like other places, still had a certain number of beggars. ”
"What have you discovered, and have any strange things happened in this Yizhou City from time to time recently?" Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Luo Huan and Hua Nan.
"My lord, we have investigated all the counties under Yizhou, and nothing special has happened. It's just that those unemployed vagrants in the county town have disappeared without a trace like beggars. ”
"And it is said that someone recruited them into the organization, saying that they were taking them to dig for gold." Hua Nan said to Li Tai.
"The gold mine is digging, and there are any large gold mines near Yizhou." Li Tai opened his mouth and asked the person in charge of the shadow guard who was acting as a shop junior.
"Your Highness, no large gold mines have been found in the vicinity of Yizhou. So I'm afraid there is something else going on in this matter. Ying Wei said to Li Tai without thinking.
"It seems that whether the beggars disappear or these unemployed people go to dig for gold. All illustrate one thing, that is, a large number of idle laborers. It was controlled by someone with a heart. Li Tai nodded and said.
"If we can find a breakthrough, we can follow the vine. Finally get this thing to the bottom of it. But now that people have laid things out pretty much, now they want to figure out the ins and outs of things. ”
"I'm afraid it's a bit of an afterthought. And the difficulty of the investigation has also increased several times. Xu Tianda thought for a while and said.
"What's so difficult about this, if we don't have a chance, we will create an opportunity. If there is no breakthrough, let's find a breakthrough ourselves. Li Tai said to Xu Tianda with a smile.
Hearing Li Tai say this, everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on Li Tai. I want to know how Li Tai is going to make this breakthrough.
"Have you ever experienced the life of a beggar, why don't you experience it with you tomorrow?" Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Tai said with a smile.
"My lord, it's not that my subordinates don't want to pretend to be beggars. But if a few beggars appear for no reason, I am afraid it is easy to be suspicious. When the time comes, not only will you not figure out something, but you will put yourself in danger. Luo Huan opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
"If we end up penniless for special reasons. Isn't it strange that people won't think it's weird. Li Tai said with a smile.
……
"You are liars here, how can you gamble for a few days without winning. Give me back the money now, and we'll just pay it back. Otherwise, I'll go and report to the police right now and accuse you of cheating. A big man yelled loudly inside the casino.
"This brother, it's your bad luck to lose money. What does it have to do with our casino. If you continue to babble nonsense here, then don't blame us for being rude. The shopkeeper of the gambling house said to the big man.
"You are playing tricks on money, don't you dare to let people say it? I'll just say it today, see what you can do to the master. Believe it or not, the master set fire to you at night and burned down your gambling house. The big man shouted.
"It seems that you really don't know who the owner behind this gambling house is. Today, I might as well tell you that in this Yizhou City. Anyone who wants to make trouble in my gambling house will definitely not end well. The shopkeeper of the gambling house said with a wild smile on his face.
Then the shopkeeper of the gambling house waved his hand, and more than a dozen thugs rushed towards the big man. At the beginning, the big man also symbolically retorted a few times. But then he was beaten and had no power to fight back.
In the end, he was thrown directly from the gambling house to the street. Even the clothes on his body are no longer the same in the punches and kicks just now.
At this time, this big man looks like he is going to be so down, how down, how pitiful and pitiful. But no one was willing to lend a hand to help this down-and-out man.
"You wait for the master, I will come with you sooner or later." After the big man finished speaking, he turned and left the gambling house.
This big man is none other than Luo Huan in disguise. And in order to make others believe in themselves, they really lost all their entanglements.
So Luo Huan deliberately chose one, a gambling house under the name of Li Ke, the king of Shu. And in the end, he lost all his money, and he didn't even have a penny left to go home.
At the beginning, Luo Huan was still quite backbone, and he had never begged for a grain of rice from anyone. And he sat in the restaurant very stylishly, and ordered a large table of sumptuous banquets with nonsense.
At the beginning, the owner of the hotel naturally did not have any suspicions. But after eating, I found that Luo Huan was really penniless. So in the end, Luo Huan was beaten violently and then thrown on the street.
At this time, Luo Huan was already unclothed, and he was already a complete beggar. At this time, Luo Huan no longer cares about dignity, after all, dignity can't fill his stomach.
In this way, Luo Huan became the first to succeed and became a beggar who was accepted by others. is considered to have completed Li Tai's explanation, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
……
And at the same time, a high-roller who spends a lot of money. used up his last Kaiyuan Tongbao in the Qinglou. So he was ruthlessly driven out.
However, this person naturally did not want to stop there, and prepared to enter the Qinglou again three times. But those thugs raised by Qinglou will not make him successful.
In the end, this person could only helplessly scold loudly outside the Qinglou: "I spent hundreds of taels of silver here, and now I don't even have the coil to go home." Can't you lend me a few taels of silver to pay for your journey home? ”
But his scolding did not win the sympathy of the old bustard in the Qinglou, but he was beaten again. In this way, another beggar appeared in the city of Yizhou. This person is none other than Xu Tianda in disguise.
……
And the way Li Tai chose was even more miserable. Li Taike did not pretend to be a gambler and a prostitute, but pretended to be a couple who eloped with Wu Meiniang. In the end, Wu Meiniang's family found them.
ruthlessly took Wu Meiniang away, and Li Tai stayed in Yizhou City alone. Every day, he drank to kill his sorrows, and finally fell ill in the inn.
In the end, because he spent all his savings for treatment, he was naturally swept away by the inn. Reluctantly, he became a beggar who made a living by begging.
Li Tai's choice of this method is somewhat similar to Qin Qiong's buying horses back then. However, the main reason for this is to let South China pick up Wu Meiniang. lest Wu Meiniang be threatened.
As a result, three beggars appeared in the city of Yizhou. And what appears is so reasonable that it doesn't make people have the slightest suspicion at all.
In this way, Li Tai and the three of them began to live a begging life in Yizhou City. Life is so miserable, hungry and full, and the place where I live is only the land temple.
……
Shu Wangfu.
"Your Highness, three beggars have suddenly appeared in the city recently. He has been begging in Yizhou City for more than ten days now. Yang Da opened his mouth and said to Li Ke, the king of Shu.
"If there is a beggar, you will follow the old way, won't it be over if you catch it? Why bother Your Highness with such a trivial matter. Luo Yiming said to Yang Da with a disdainful face.
"If it was just an ordinary beggar, I would have dealt with it the old way. The reason why I talked to His Highness was that they had a lot of suspicions. Then Yang Da told Li Ke, the king of Shu, about the story of Li Tai and the three becoming beggars.
"What's so worth making a fuss about, this kind of thing is too cautious in Datang, it is estimated that everyone. When it comes to getting things done, it's a little timid. Luo Yiming said disdainfully.
"Whatever if he is true or not, throw them into the mountains, even if they have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. I don't want to get out of there even half a step. Even if they do it on purpose, what can they do? Li Ming, the housekeeper of Li Yuanjing, the king of Zhao, said.
"Mr. Li is right, and he will send them to the mountains tonight. However, to be on the safe side, be sure to send someone to keep an eye on them. If there is any abnormality, kill the king directly. Li Ke, the king of Shu, nodded and said.
In fact, in the heart of Li Ke, the king of Shu, he didn't think there was anything wrong with these three beggars. On the contrary, I feel that there is nothing to doubt, after all, the way chosen by the three of them is more reasonable.
In fact, Yang Da knew in his heart that if he was really a person sent by the imperial court. It's not a simple matter of killing people and killing people, and you can deal with it. But Li Ke, the king of Shu, has already filmed, so he naturally has no way to refute it.
Because Yang Da knew that Li Ke, the king of Shu, belonged to that kind of arbitrary character. If he goes too far against his will, it will make him feel that he has other intentions.
