"Then invite Xiao Wuniang to the flower hall to serve tea!"

"Yes!"

The little maid took the order and left.

Gongsun Youniang hurriedly pulled her head full of green silk into a double ring fairy bun, and picked up some bottles and cans and smeared them on her face.

Cui Geng didn't understand it very well, and said with a smile: "You are the window and the temples, and the mirror decal is yellow!" ”

Gongsun Youniang said angrily: "Do you still want to say that you have known each other for 12 years, but you don't know that the young lady is a girl?" Cut! Do you care about me? ”

Cui Geng apologized: "No, I want to say that you don't look better than makeup." This is called: clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving! ”

Gongsun Youniang became happy and said: "It is worthy of being the world-famous Cui Feijiang, and it is really an export chapter!" Even if she knew that what you said was false, the concubine was very happy in her heart. ”

After a pause, he said, "Well, since you gave the slave family two lines of poetry, the slave family will also give you a little benefit." Spring peach! ”

"The slave is here." Another little maid came in.

Gongsun Youniang instructed: "You take Cui Fei to Qiaoyun Pavilion." ”

Cui Geng asked, "What am I going to Qiaoyun Pavilion for?" ”

"There is a tunnel in Qiaoyun Pavilion, which can lead to the mezzanine of the flower hall. You enter the mezzanine, and you will be able to listen to what Xiao Wuniang and I say when the time comes. ”

Chun Tao said: "Master Cui, please come with the slave." ”

Gongsun Youniang used to be equivalent to Zhang Changzong's public relations minister, and it is understandable that there is such an arrangement.

Cui Geng even suspected that many places in the peony garden had similar arrangements. Immediately, he answered, and followed Chun Tao to Qiaoyun Pavilion. Going down the tunnel and up again, you find yourself in a mezzanine.

According to Chun Tao's instructions, Cui Geng pulled out a wooden wedge that had already been prepared, and when he looked at it, most of the flower hall was in full view.

I haven't seen her for many days, and Xiao Wuniang is more plump than before~ fat. At this time, she was holding a baby in her arms, teasing softly, and a maternal glow appeared on her face.

The kung fu is not big, the ring is tinkling, and the grandson and young lady dress up.

Xiao Wuniang was just about to salute, but Gongsun Youniang stopped her and said, "You are still holding the child, there is no need to be polite." ”

"Yes, the concubine thanked Mrs. Zhongshan."

Xiao Wuniang sat down again, and went straight to the point: "The concubine is here today, there is something important, and I will discuss it with Mrs. Zhongshan." This matter is very important, and I ask no one to leave. ”

"It's fine."

Gongsun Youniang waved her hand, and the maids who were waiting for her retreated, and said, "Mrs. Ben is absolutely safe here, Wu Niang, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Xiao Wuniang pondered her emotions for a moment and said, "The concubine wants to see Cui Geng." ”

"What? Cui Geng? ”

Gongsun Youniang has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, of course, she will not be deceived by Xiao Wuniang's words. She pretended to be surprised at first, and then said: "But the world-famous Jiannan Dao dethroned envoy Cui Geng Cui Erlang? This is strange, why are you looking for Cui Geng not to go to Jiannan Road, what are you doing here with Mrs. Ben? ”

"It's not interesting for Mrs. Zhongshan to say that." Xiao Wuniang said with a straight face: "There is a saying, the concubine body only said here, I don't recognize it when I go out." ”

"What do you want to say?"

"Three days ago, the protagonist of the palace assassination case was her late husband Li Xiu. His target is Cui Geng, not His Majesty. In fact, the first husband has already heard clearly, Cui Geng is not in Jiannan Road now. And Cui Ying is likely to be pretended by Cui Geng with the technique of disguise! ”

The stakes are so high, Gongsun Youniang didn't dare to push the two, six or five, and said vaguely: "If what you said is true, then you are not afraid that I will arrest you and torture you?" Even...... Threaten your children? ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Xiao Wuniang said unhurriedly: "Now, the people of the dark hall have surrounded your peony garden. If anything happens to our mother and son, we will attack the peony garden with all our strength and expose Cui Ying's true identity! When the time comes, it will be nothing more than everyone dying together to avenge the late husband. ”

"Then what do you want to do today?"

Xiao Wuniang said; "The concubine came on behalf of the dark hall, and wanted to pass on a message to Lord Cui: The person who was bent on being the enemy of Lord Cui was only Li Xiu. Now that Li Xiu is dead, everyone might as well turn the war into a jade silk. In the future, the dark hall will be loyal to Li Longji, the king of Linzi, and will never take the initiative to be an enemy of Lord Cui. ”

Gongsun Youniang said: "Then you and this child, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Xiao Wuniang sighed and said, "We are going back to our hometown in Meizhou." Speaking of which, the first husband was not killed by Master Cui, and he was only blamed for his obedient life. Of course, the concubine came this time in the hope that Master Cui would let our mother and son go. ”

"Has this kid been named? Is it a boy or a girl? ”

"His name is Li Mi, and he's a boy,"

……

Li Mi?

After Cui Geng heard this sentence in the mezzanine, there was a rumble in his head. Xiao Wuniang and Gongsun Youniang's next words, he couldn't hear them anymore.

Li Mi is not simple, this person participated in the palace plan to help Tang Suzong Li Su stabilize the court. Strategizing, coordinating Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and other generals to pacify the Anshi Rebellion, can be called the white jade pillar of the Suzong Dynasty, and the purple gold beam of the sea.

In history, there are many virtuous people, but all of them are disciples of Confucius and Mencius. And this Li Mi is a genuine disciple of Huang Lao, who has admired Taoism all his life, so much so that he is called "Immortal Prime Minister" by later generations.

Historically, Li Mi was in the prosperous era during the Kaiyuan Tianbao period, and he did nothing. But now...... Cui Geng thought of the complicated relationship between himself and Li Xiu, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He secretly pondered in his heart, I will not kill Beren, but Beren will die because of me. It is not far-fetched to say that Li Mi and I have a grudge against my father. Could it be that when he grows up, he will assist Li Longji and be my enemy? It's really hard to make a big enemy for no reason.

……

……

Until Gongsun Youniang sent Xiao Wuniang away, Cui Geng was a little distracted.

Gongsun Youniang gently tugged Cui Geng's sleeve and said, "Eh, what do you think?" ”

"How's that?"

"It's that Han Gui, are you afraid?"

"What...... What Han Gui? Cui Geng's face was full of astonishment.

Gongsun Youniang glanced at him and said, "Dare to love you just now, the vain slave family provided you with such a good opportunity." Let me tell you, Xiao Wuniang said that there is a person named Han Gui in the dark hall who has received great favor from Li Xiu. This person's talent is not under the ancient Chen Ping and Jia Xu. It's just that he doesn't agree with Li Xiu's ambition to be emperor, so he has not been able to reuse it. Now that Li Xiu is dead, he has to find a way to avenge his benefactor. ”

"Really?" Cui Geng frowned slightly, and said, "Don't let Gu Zhi Chen Ping and Jia Xu?" Doesn't this mean that this person is a malevolent strategist or something...... How much power does Han Gui have in his hands? ”

Gongsun Youniang shook her head and said, "Han Gui's subordinates don't have much strength. However, he secretly left the dark hall and left a letter: Cui Geng must be killed to sacrifice his son. If this person takes refuge in Zhang Changzong or Wu Sansi, you will be in big trouble. ”

Han Gui?

Cui Geng carefully recalled the historical records of later generations, and it seemed that this person's name was unknown. Of course, since Gongsun Youniang admires this person's talent so much, it shouldn't be much worse, and she really has to guard against it.

However, this man is in the dark, and he is in the light. There are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? What can I do? Cui Geng thought about it, there was no good way, or decided to strengthen his strength first.

He thought for a moment and said, "Your current identity is Cui Ying's widow, and you are still very capable of doing something." First of all, there is a man named Du Xian, who was ordered by His Majesty to never be used. Later, this person defected to Cui Ying. Now that Cui Ying is dead, Du Xian should have nothing to live on, you can give him proper help and take it for your own use. Also, there are ......"

Cui Geng gushed endlessly, and Gongsun Youniang became impatient after listening to it for a while, and interrupted: "I've been doing it for so many years, and I've long been tired of it. Now you want me to get back to my old business? Not! Absolutely not! ”

"Well, how can this be considered a return to the old business?" Cui Geng followed the temptation and said, "What was your identity before?" To put it nicely, he is the owner of the peony garden. It's hard to say, that's ...... Forget it, I don't say you understand. How many of those literati in the past respected you from the bottom of their hearts? It's different now, you are the lady of Zhongshan Guo of Yipin, and it is they who find a way to flatter you, not you find a way to flatter them! Think about the difference? ”

"Doesn't that mean...... Even if I'm as ugly as no salt, they have to praise me for my Yanbi Shih. Well, kind of interesting. Gongsun Youniang was a little moved at that time.

Cui Geng persuaded again: "In addition, isn't there a Du Xian here?" This person is shrewd and capable, and he can keep the peony garden in order. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you want to show up, and leave it to Du Xian to take care of if you don't want to show up? ”

"That'...... Can people Du Xian be happy? ”

"He's almost out of food, what's not to like? Besides, this errand, but what a good reputation for taking care of the teacher's widow? Becoming a manager in the peony garden is already his best way out,"

"That's right." Gongsun Youniang nodded and said, "Okay, then the slave family will try it first." ”

……

……

On this side, Cui Geng was planning to deal with Han Ping, but he didn't want to, on the other side, someone was already calculating his return from Jiannan Dao.

Liang Wang's Mansion, in a secret room.

Wu Sansi summoned the imperial servant Zhou Lizhen, Ran Zuyong, the imperial servant Li Yi, Guanglu Cheng Song Zhixun, the superintendent imperial historian Yao Shaozhi, and the national teacher Hu Chao to discuss countermeasures together.

Wu Sansi glanced around and said, "Everyone, Cui Geng's ability to investigate cases is unparalleled in the world. Although this king does not have the intention of assassination, the assassination case of Sanyang Palace is indeed related to me. If Cui Geng really finds out something, it will be all over. How to deal with Cui Erlang, let's discuss. ”
