Chapter 295: Get into action
Li Hao stayed in Chang'an for a few days, and he was bored, so he went to the newspaper and the bank to check the operation, these two industries are very important to Li Hao, but he was too busy and had little time to check.
Generally speaking, the newspaper is doing a good job now, with an average daily sales volume of about 200,000 copies, and many literati submitting articles, some for fame and some for profit.
At the same time, the newspaper has cultivated a group of reporters who belong to them, which is exactly what Li Hao expects, these reporters are his gunmen.
Then Li Hao went to inspect the bank again, the bank's current credit rating is not very high, and the credit level needs to be accumulated slowly, and it is difficult to see results in the short term. At present, the total number of bank deposits is 1.2 million yuan, which is still far from Li Hao's expectations, and to put it mildly, there is a lot of room for development.
After inspecting the work, Li Hao was wandering on the street, and Zhu Ruihuan leaned over to Li Hao and whispered: "Boss, someone is following." ”
"Hmm." Li Hao hummed lightly and said quietly, "Pretend not to find out, I will find a chaotic place to dump them later, I have a matter of Chinese medicine and I want to see the god stick Liu." ”
"Okay." Zhu Ruihuan answered in a low voice and continued to follow Li Hao, as if he didn't notice that someone was following him.
When passing by a market, Li Hao found that it was crowded with people, so Li Hao took Lin Dingkun and Zhu Ruihuan to squeeze into the crowd and swim in the crowd.
The three of them were like loaches interspersed in the crowd, and soon disappeared into the vast sea of people, and the two Tsing Yi people searched for a long time in the sea of people and did not find Li Hao, and after meeting, they asked depressedly: "What should I do, I lost it." ”
"Go back and report to Your Majesty." A square-faced man spoke, the other nodded helplessly, and then the two left silently.
After they walked away, three people wearing Fuwa masks walked out of the crowd and took off their masks, it was Li Hao and them.
"Is it the emperor's man?" Lin Dingkun asked.
"Hmm." Li Hao nodded, a little depressed and said, "There are people in the family staring, and there are people staring when I come out, I really don't understand, where do I make the emperor feel uneasy, he wants to guard me like this." ”
Zhu Ruihuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "If you are like Fang Yiai's straw bag, he is too lazy to send someone to keep an eye on you and send someone to follow you, which means that you have the ability." ”
"I love to hear that." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "In the future, you will have to shoot more such sycophants, and you must shoot them without any traces." ”
Zhu Ruihuan: ......
The three of them went to the clothing store to buy three ordinary clothes to change into, and then bought some glue, and found an inn to go in to make up, in fact, Li Hao's makeup method is very simple, cut off a handful of hair ends, glue them on his face, make a beard, and then put on a hat, and it's done, at first glance, it really looks like a big change, because his beard is very exaggerated, and he almost covers half of his face.
After the makeup was completed, the three bearded men walked out of the inn and came to the hexagram stall of Shen Stick Liu, who had already changed his guns and opened a small shop, which sold all kinds of talismans and magic weapons, and his hexagram stall was placed at the door of the small shop, with a flag next to it, with two big words written on it - "Hexagram Immortal".
Li Hao came to the hexagram stall and sat down directly, and Liu asked casually: "What does the guest officer want to test?" ”
After saying a word, he suddenly felt that Li Hao was a little familiar, and when he looked at it, he was shocked, and his eyes increased sharply.
"Shh-" Li Hao made a silent gesture, and then asked pretendedly, "Liu Banxian, I want to ask you to help me measure the flow of years." ”
Liu Banxian knew that Li Hao was reluctant to reveal his identity, but when he came to find him, he must have something to say, so he said: "I see that Your Excellency's Yintang is black, and people tremble slightly, this is a great omen, there is no need to ask hexagrams, the old man can tell Your Excellency that Your Excellency is not good for your year." ”
"Oh? Is there a way to crack it? ”
"It's hard." Liu Banxian pretended to think about it and said, "Your Excellency, please follow the old man into the house, and the old man will do it for you to avoid bad omens." ”
"Thank you." Li Hao smiled indifferently, got up slowly, and took Zhu Ruihuan and Lin Dingkun to follow the god stick Liu into the store.
After entering the store, Liu Banxian did not close the door of the store, and directly took Li Hao upstairs, Lin Dingkun guarded the entrance of the stairs, and Zhu Ruihuan guarded outside the door.
"See Master Hou." Liu Liu, the god stick in the room, bowed to Li Hao.
Li Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't be so polite, Shenzhu Liu, I came to you this time because I have an important matter to hand over to you." ”
"Master Hou, please speak." Divine stick Liu looked at Li Hao expectantly.
Over the years, he has done things for Li Hao and won a lot of rewards, and now he has a family property of several thousand, plus the money he earned for those high-ranking officials and nobles, a total of nearly 10,000 yuan, which is much more than the previous swaggering and deception, and it is very comfortable, so he is very grateful to Li Hao in his heart.
Li Hao said: "Shenzhu Liu, I need you to go to the Wa Kingdom, stay there for a few years, and specifically fool the lord of the Wa State and instruct him to mine silver mines." ”
"Huh? Mining silver? Shen Stick Liu was dazed for a while, and then frowned and said, "Master Hou, it's not that I'm arrogant, you know what I can do, it's okay to calculate fortunes for others, let me go to find silver mines, it's too difficult." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Li Hao took out a note and handed it to him, saying, "This map marks several large silver mines in the Wa Kingdom, you memorize this map, find an opportunity to approach the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, ask them to take you to the Wa Kingdom, and then tell the address of the silver mines to the Wa State Lord one by one, presumably the Lord of the Wa State will not treat you badly." ”
Liu Weiwei: "But I can't speak the Chinese language." ”
"It's okay, the envoy of the Japanese State will speak our Tang dialect." Li Hao waved his hand and said, "And you can slowly learn the Japanese language after you go to the Wa Kingdom." ”
"Why me?" Shenguo Liu asked depressedly, to be honest, he didn't want to go to the Wa Kingdom, although he used to swagger and deceive everywhere and roam the rivers and lakes, but after a long time of wandering and settling down, he found out how comfortable it was to have a home.
"Because you can pinch it." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "After you go to the Wa Kingdom, find a way to make your reputation for fortune telling, and then find an opportunity to meet the lord of the Wa Kingdom, just say that you pinch your fingers and know where there is a silver mine in their country, as long as the Wa State Lord digs up the silver mine, he will definitely treat you as a guest, and maybe he will also crown you as a protector." ”
Shenzhu Liu picked up the map and looked at it, and found that many mountains were marked with red circles, so he asked suspiciously: "Is there really so much silver in the Wa Kingdom?" What good is it for us that we help them point out the silver mines? ”
"First of all, there are indeed a lot of silver mines in the Wa Kingdom." Li Hao smiled proudly, "As for why I know, don't ask, what's the benefit, hehe, the Japanese country is poor in materials, even if a large amount of silver ore is mined, what is the use, and the silver can't be used for food, and it can't be used to forge weapons, so I naturally have a way to pit all their silver." ”
"Oh-" Hearing this, Liu suddenly showed a meaningful smile, and his little eyes seemed to say, "You are too bad." ”
Li Hao said at this time: "Although the Japanese people are ignorant, they are not so easy to fool, your fortune-telling skills of the three-legged cat, easy to be exposed, I will introduce you to a master, let him teach you the real metaphysics, you go to learn from him for a while, it just so happens that the envoy of the Japanese country is studying in the Tang Wenguan in Chang'an, and will not return to China in the near future, and when they want to return to China, you find an opportunity to deceive them, let them take you back to China, after the fact, what you want, I will give you, even if you want to enter the court as an official, it is not a problem." ”
"Okay." As soon as Liu Yi heard that he could be an official, he was immediately excited, and hurriedly nodded and asked, "Where is that master, I will go to him tomorrow." ”
Li Hao said: "This person lives in a house to the west of my house, called Pei Miao, you take my letter of recommendation, he will understand after reading the letter." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Liu.
Liu took the envelope with both hands, carefully stuffed it into his arms, and said happily: "Don't worry, Master Hou, this matter will be handed over to the villain, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, deceive people, that is the villain's old business." ”
Li Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's decided, I am also very confident in your ability to deceive people, after all, I have been taught, haha, I'll go first, don't send me." After he finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out, Zhu Ruihuan went downstairs with him, met Lin Dingkun, and then the three of them left Shenzhu Liu's shop together.
Recently, Lu Yun has been very busy, sometimes sleeping during the day, going out at night, sometimes sleeping at night, and no one is seen during the day, Li Hao asked Zhu Ruihuan and Lin Dingkun not to disturb him, and he himself has been waiting silently, although he is a little anxious, he has not asked Lu Yun much, because he believes in Lu Yun.
On the afternoon of August 21, Lu Yun came back from outside, found Li Hao, and said lightly: "Young master, I have already prepared, I can act tonight." ”
"Okay." Li Hao nodded, turned his head to face Lin Dingkun, and said, "Lin Dingkun, you and I will both stay at the opposite inn tonight, and let Zhu Ruihuan and Lu Yun act here." ”
"Yes." Lin Dingkun nodded.
After Li Hao discussed the details of the plan with them again, he took Lin Dingkun to the inn opposite Taibai Lou to stay, and Lu Yun began to sleep to ensure that he had enough energy at night.
On the top of the moon, in the dead of night, Lu Yun was dressed in black, his face was covered with a black scarf, and he kept jumping on the roof, as if he was one with the night, silently.
Soon, Lu Yun came to the front of the Sifang Pavilion and looked at the Sifang Pavilion, where there were two big people living in Tubo, but he must not be nervous, because he was confident in his light skills.
At the third watch, Lu Yun flew down from a roof, and landed on the courtyard wall of the Sifang Pavilion, listening to the movement in the Sifang Pavilion.
The Sifang Pavilion is a post house specially prepared for the envoys of Fanbang, although there are guards of the Tang Dynasty at the door, there is no inside, because each of the envoys of the Fanbang has brought their own guards, and there is no need to waste the troops of the Tang Dynasty to protect them.
Lu Yun jumped from the courtyard wall to the roof, and began to fly around again, the Sifang Pavilion is very large, if you come for the first time, it is easy to get lost in it, but Lu Yun has been preparing for so many days, and he already knows the route inside, and he will not go wrong with his eyes closed, five minutes later, Lu Yun came to the courtyard where the Tubo envoys lived, and there were many Tubo guards standing guard in the courtyard, after these days of observation, Lu Yun found that there was actually a master hidden among these guards, and he also practiced internal strength, Li Hao once told him, Basutuo's disciple's martial arts are very high, so this master hidden among the guards should be Basutuo's disciple.
All the guards were guarding outside Lu Dongzan's room, and Basutuo's room was empty, after all, Lu Dongzan was too important to Tubo, and Basutuo's martial arts were superb, so he was naturally not afraid of assassination.
