Chapter 159 His Sweetheart

Shen Yu opened the box, took out the banknotes, counted them, and said, "Twelve thousand taels. It would take me two hundred years to save this amount."

She put it back in the box, took out a pen and paper and bent down to write.

Xiao Chuan was about to take action when he accidentally scanned the words on the note: On April 12th, Qichang Zhizhou bribed twelve thousand taels of silver.

After Shen Yu finished writing, she put the note into the box and looked back at Xiao Chuan, "Put the knife away."

Xiao Chuan hadn't reacted yet, "This...what do you mean, sir?"

"Take it, this is evidence of Liu Songlin's corruption." Shen Yu threw the box to him.

Xiao Chuan quickly caught it. Although he was born in a noble family and had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, his knife-wielding hands had never handled such a large sum of money. It was also an evidence, and he held it in his hands like a hot potato.

"My lord, I want to use this to make them relax their vigilance." Xiao Chuan finally understood, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "My subordinates are used to being straightforward, I didn't expect to be like this."

"After taking this money, I will join them and become half of their people. I was originally worried that my return to Beijing would not go well, but it would be a waste if I didn't climb the ladder he brought to me." Shen Yu turned around and leaned against the table. Said slowly.

Xiao Chuan lowered his head and said, "This subordinate has offended you a lot. I hope you will forgive me."

…

When the April wind blows, the sun sets late.

A thin figure was slightly hunched, looking around cautiously as he walked, and stopped when he reached the east gate of the palace in the north.

"Brother," Sanfu said, "I'm looking for Master Shigure."

"What's your name?" asked the concierge.

"My name is Sanfu."

The concierge has been warned that Sanfu and Sixi usually come to see them for important matters, so they can just inform His Highness the Crown Prince.

The porter said: "Master Shi is not in the capital, your highness——"

"What should we do? I have something urgent." Sanfu interrupted the concierge.

"Why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet." The porter said, "Master Shi gave instructions before leaving the capital. When he is away, all matters should be reported to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Then, take me to see His Royal Highness as soon as possible."

"The Crown Prince is not here either. Why don't you wait here? King Yan is hosting a banquet today and His Highness the Crown Prince won't be back for a while."

A common man like Sanfu never thought that he would be able to hook up with someone like Prince Beilin.

The news he got today was big news, and he might be rewarded by His Highness the Crown Prince. If he was given a small official position, it would be a sign of anger for his ancestors.

Sanfu was pacing back and forth inside the east gate, waiting anxiously.

The concierge was so dazzled by him that he couldn't even take a nap secretly. He couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness will return from the main entrance of the palace. If you want to wait, you might as well wait there."

Sanfu thought it made sense. He could see the Crown Prince immediately if he went to the main entrance. He hurried out of the east gate and walked along the high wall of the palace to the main entrance.

It was not yet dark when he came, but after waiting for such a long time, it was already completely dark.

Thinking that once this big news is reported, good luck will fall immediately, Sanfu's steps become more and more brisk.

As he walked, his steps became lighter, and he seemed to hear a rustling sound, as if something was quietly following him.

The more Sanfu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He didn't dare to look back and ran away.

The Zuiyun Tower is particularly lively tonight. The curfew in Shengjing City has just been lifted. Danfeng Street is brightly lit, and even the night market is set up.

Li Jifeng held a banquet today, and he booked the entire Zuiyun Tower.

The neon clothes faded, the music and dancing were performed, and the dancers danced on the single log in the hall. Li Jifeng clapped his hands and cheered repeatedly.

A big event happened in Shengjing a few days ago, and the princes were crowned kings.

The prince is still a prince, the fourth prince Li Zhaonian was named King of Qin, the seventh prince Li Yanchang was named King of Qi, and the ninth prince Li Jifeng was named King of Yan.

Li Jifeng invited many people today, including King Qin Li Zhaonian.

Li Zhaonian never participated in the entertainment scene, he only sat aside and listened to the music quietly, which seemed out of place with the drunken people in Zuiyun Tower.

"Fourth brother, what's the point of being in close friendship with that old man Zhuangzi all the time?" Li Jifeng was lying on his back, tapping his hands on his knees, and a maid was kneeling to rub his shoulders.

Li Zhaonian said: "Gong Zhuang is profound and lofty, how can we mortals dare to call ourselves divine friends?"

Li Jifeng said: "I just want to be a free king and live happily for the rest of my life. The premise is that my father doesn't force me to have a princess."

Li Zhaonian smiled, "I'm afraid your wish won't come true. I heard that my father is already looking for someone for you."

Li Zhaonian was twenty-seven years old and already had a main concubine and a side concubine. Li Jifeng was only a few months younger than Xie Tingzhou. There were quite a few concubines in the house, but they were all brought back from the hook. None of them serious.

Li Jifeng was envious of Xie Tingzhou, "Tingzhou, doesn't your father urge you?"

"No need to rush." ​​Xie Tingzhou drank his wine, "We've already found him."

Li Jifeng made a sound, "Don't you also carry it back from the hook fence? Don't let me be so angry, old prince. By the way, if you get married, what will Yuke do then?"

Li Zhaonian raised his eyes to look at Xie Tingzhou and asked, "Is he the general from Baishan Hunting Ground?"

"Isn't that right?" Li Zhaonian winked, "That's his little sweetheart, second only to his new love in the Jiaofang Division."

Li Zhaonian didn't know what he thought of, his eyes moved, he looked at Xie Tingzhou and smiled slightly, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Jifeng asked Xie Tingzhou, "You have been going to the Jiaofangsi recently while Shiyu is away. Is it for Fuying? I told you a long time ago that the land route is not as good as the water route. Now you finally get the pleasure, right?"

Xie Tingzhou glanced at him and said with a smile, "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"

"Don't refuse." Li Jifeng said, "Everyone in the capital knows that we often hang out together, and everyone thinks we are the same kind of people."

Xie Tingzhou did not refute, but smiled without saying anything.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Jifeng knew what kind of personality his fourth brother had.

One of them was uneducated and the other was well-educated. They couldn't talk to each other. It was a torture for Li Zhaonian to stay here.

"It's getting late." Li Jifeng waved his hand to let the massage maid move aside, stood up and said, "I'll take my fourth brother out, lest my fourth sister-in-law gets angry with you later."

Li Zhaonian smiled, stood up and said to Xie Tingzhou, "Then I'll leave first."

The two walked out of Zuiyun Tower side by side, and the carriage of the Prince of Qin's Mansion had been waiting at the door.

Li Zhaonian got on the car, suddenly remembered something, and lifted the curtain, "Is your title the word you chose yourself?"

Li Jifeng smiled, "How is that possible? Can I come up with such a serious word?"

Li Zhaonian smiled, lowered the curtain and left.

Looking at the carriage gradually going away, Li Jifeng put away his smile and said lightly, "I chose the word 'change'. In this world, it is impossible not to change."
