Chapter 197 Do You Dare to Kill Me?
According to the address written on the note, the house sent by He Tongpan should be by the Beicheng River, not far from the prefect's Yamen.
So Zhao is not in a hurry to go there and likes to put on airs? Then give him time to show off.
Although he had nothing to do, Zhao still found an empty room, crossed his legs, drank tea, and passed the time.
At this time, Li Yizhen, who had changed his clothes after washing, walked in and said, "Brother, you are quite comfortable being an imperial envoy!"
"Brother!" Zhao turned around and said in surprise.
"Hey, we've only been here for a few days? Why rush? What we won't have in the future is time and trivial matters. Just rest when you need to."
"What I said makes sense." Li Yizhen fiddled with his sleeves, sat down, and waved the clerk down.
Then he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with sending me to Jiangnan this time?"
Looking at the calm expression on Li Yizhen's face, Zhao couldn't help feeling that it was because he had been tempered and matured a lot, and he knew how to think with his upper body.
"The emperor wants to conquer the north, and he sent me here for three things. One is to inspect the official warehouse; the other is to investigate the collaborators; the third is to raise food..."
Zhao didn't hide anything and told everything. After all, Li Yizhen also relied on his military exploits to make a living. Although he was not as prominent as going into battle to kill the enemy in raising food, it was not much different.
What's more, he is also considered one of his own. It is normal to hide important things from outsiders. If he hides it from his own people, it will only increase internal contradictions and conflicts.
"How much does it cost?" Guancang and his collaborator Li Yizhen skipped it and asked to the point.
"One hundred thousand dan, one month."
Li Yizhen was shocked. One month was too short. Apart from Guancang, he couldn't think of a second solution, but Guancang...
So he lowered his voice and asked, "Guancang?"
"Guancang." Zhao knew what he meant and affirmed.
hiss.
Li Yizhen took a breath, took a sip of tea, and slowly uttered one word: Difficult!
Is it possible that Zhao didn't know? He just had to do it!
The two of them drank tea each and remained speechless. Time passed silently, and in a blink of an eye it was completely dark. The spring rain was still falling outside the door, making people wrap up their clothes unconsciously.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhao stood up and waved, "Let's go and meet the others. The three of us alone can't carry a hundred thousand loads of food."
"Yeah, okay."
The two of them held umbrellas and walked out of the magistrate's office one after another and walked towards the house where He Tong was sent.
As soon as he arrived at the back door, he saw an aggrieved Jiang Qianhu leaning against the threshold.
"Old Jiang, what's going on? Is there a ghost in the house?" Li Yizhen and Jiang Qianhu had been together for several days and had long since become good brothers who had gone to a brothel together. Seeing that his expression was wrong, he hurriedly joked.
Jiang Qianhu said "Oh", shook his head and waved his hands, "The guy inside is no better than a ghost..."
"Coming?"
Knowing that Zhao was asking about the little grandmaster, Jiang Qianhu nodded and whispered, "Lao Jiu, that girl has real skills. Be careful, but you can be deceived by her face!"
Interesting! Zhao nodded disdainfully, not taking Jiang Qianhu's words to heart.
It's great if you have real skills, but I'm just afraid of getting an embroidered pillow. In Zhao Ju's opinion, they are here to work as cattle and horses anyway, and those who can cultivate the land are better than those who just eat and do no work.
As for whether to manage it well or not, that is not within the scope of consideration. How dare she find fault with herself and Lu Wenyu?
Sun Houhou is so capable, isn't he still suppressed by Tathagata for five hundred years!
"Let's go in together."
Zhao took the lead, opened the door and took the lead in walking in. Behind them, Jiang Qianhu and Li Yizhen looked at each other and had no choice but to follow.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he understood why Jiang Qianhu was so scared. I saw a woman wearing a red dress sitting in the yard.
The strange thing is that despite the drizzle, the yard is clean and refreshing, with no trace of water pollution. The raindrops hovered in the air, as if being held up by an invisible hand.
When the woman saw the three people coming in, she was used to ignoring the two people behind her. She stared straight at Zhao Jiu and said in a charming voice, "Little brother, I am here to find someone named Zhao Muzhi."
"But he doesn't seem to want to see his sister..."
Zhao was too lazy to care, so he moved a chair out and sat down opposite the woman, looking at her leisurely.
He raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Are you pretending to be your mother? If you have a name, say a name. If you don't have a name, call me daddy and I'll give you one."
"hehe."
Before the laughter disappeared, a red figure continued to lengthen, and in the blink of an eye, a thin white hand came straight towards Zhao Jue's throat.
Behind them, Li Yizhen and Jiang Qianhu were startled. This was not because they wanted to take action, but because they wanted to kill someone. The two of them wanted to stop it, but they couldn't even see their figures clearly.
But his fingers stopped outside Zhao Jiu's neck and he did not dare to stretch forward any further. In front of the woman's eyes was a white jade waist badge with only two simple words on it: Imperial Envoy.
"Can you see clearly? I am an imperial envoy under the emperor's order. You want to kill me? Do you dare to kill me?" Zhao Ju looked ferocious, grabbed the woman's hand, and stabbed her neck directly.
This crazy move startled the woman, she quickly used her energy to get away, and sat back on the chair, her chest still rising and falling.
What a madman!
"What's your name?"
Although Zhao Jiu's face was calm, the sweat on his palms still showed that he was a little guilty. But since you have to pretend, then pretend it to the end. The person hasn’t left yet, so the momentum cannot be weakened.
The woman frowned, feeling a little surprised. The boy in front of her didn't look like Lao Jianghu. How could he be so calm and calm?
However, how could she know that the moment the true meaning of the woman's martial arts appeared, Zhao Jue almost went back to his room to change his pants.
"Suzaku." After hesitating for a moment, the woman still said her name.
The moment she said her name, the three people in the yard breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. However, Zhao Jue was still holding back, while Li Yizhen and Jiang Qianhu patted their chests at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding.
Wow, I almost scared them to death just now. What kind of hatred and grudges, they just met and started to fight for their lives without saying a few words!
But Zhao Jue was not as simple as they thought. His purpose was not simple. In this so-called "team", he needed absolute right to speak, so he had to calm down the little master in front of him.
Otherwise, how could he use public power for personal gain in the future? Don't you think that assassinating three times and killing two people can settle the account?
There is no such business in the world that is guaranteed to make money!
That's right, Zhao Jue not only wants to make money, but also wants to kill the people behind the two guardians.
"Suzaku? Are there also Azure Dragon, White Tiger and Black Tortoise?"
Suzaku didn't speak, just nodded. Since the show of force didn't work, there was no need for her to waste her energy to hold up the drizzle.
The oppressive atmosphere in the yard disappeared, and drizzle fell from the sky. Captain Jiang opened his umbrella in time to protect him and Li Yizhen from the rain, and Zhao released his energy to push the rain away.
Seeing that Zhuque was the first to back off, Zhao put away his badge and said affirmatively.
"Since we are one family, then we should cooperate well, support each other, and share the worries for the emperor and the fifth master."
"And the imperial envoy falls on me, so in the future..."
"Listen to me!"
