Chapter 221 Accumulate Strength
"Zhao County Li?" Ye Wuji asked.
"Longxi Li!" Chu He replied.
Ye Wuji immediately looked at Chu He with a pity.
It’s okay for the Li family in Zhaojun, but the relationship between the Li family in Longxi and the Li family is hard to tell. Unless you betray the clan completely, you will never be able to gain Wu Zetian’s trust. Maybe if you are not careful, you will be affected by the fish.
Ye Wubi certainly didn't know that although Chu He was wearing Li Kaiming's skin, he essentially had no sense of identity with the Li family in Longxi and the Li family royal family. If he really needed him to gain Wu Zetian's trust at the cost of betraying the clan and borrow Wu Zetian's power, then Chu He would do it without hesitation.
Next, Chu He pretended to wander in the capital of God for several days, but with the help of two insiders who plunged into the Luozhi Army, he put most of the middle and lower-level generals of the Luozhi Army into the Fire Soul Slave Curse.
As Chu He expected, the mirror of the illumination at the entrances of the major yamen could not detect the abnormality of the Fire Soul Slave Curse.
On the sixth day of the stolen Fengchai case, Chu He led many yamen runners from Dali Temple to investigate a manor under the name of Shu King Li Yuan. He found Luo Yuntian, a prisoner who stole Fengchai, in the manor. During the chaos, he killed him with a "wrong hand" and only the body was left behind.
At the same time, there was a bunch of messy letters in the manor, confirming that this matter was the famous envoy of Li Yuan, and some of the Li royal families also participated and secretly instructed them.
In a furious manner, the queen imprisoned Li Yuanming and also held a group of Li royal families responsible, quickly destroying the forces that the Li royal family had just raised their heads in the court with a thunderous force.
A blood exchange was also carried out in Dali Temple.
Wang Shun, the young minister of Dali Temple, neglected his duties and failed to handle cases, and was dismissed from office. Chu He was promoted from Dali Zheng to Dali Temple.
Another Dali Zhenghou was smart and took out the documents that had been forged by a palace maid and a minister from the outside court to privately communicate with him, and kept his official hat.
The palace maids and foreign ministers have correspondence with each other, and may even have an affair. How nonsense is this? If they can have an affair with the outer court so easily, wouldn’t the foreheads of the emperors of all dynasties be green?
However, the foreign minister happened to be loyal to the Li royal family, so even if the reason was ridiculous, Wu Zetian took the matter seriously. He killed the palace maid and exiled the foreign minister.
The handling of foreign ministers was not that Wu Zetian was ruthless, but because she had not ascended the throne yet. Although she was persecuting the Li royal family in various ways, she did not want to have a complete affair with the ministers in the court. It was also necessary to leave a little room for her.
In short, from the court to the world, after a storm, the case of the phoenix hairpin theft was concluded.
As for how the phoenix hairpin fell into the copper pot, is it important?
A month after the incident ended, Chu He, in addition to the daily routine, sat on the second floor of a teahouse on the left side of Tianjie, as if he was doing nothing.
After the Fengchai case, I thought he would soar into the sky, but the officials and nobles who kept visiting were gradually becoming rare.
Under Chu He's conscious guidance of public opinion, many people believe that "Li Kaiming", the newly promoted Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was a last resort, and was not a fellow traveler with Suo Yuanli.
Although his reputation is still not good in private, there are many fewer people targeting and hostile to Chu He.
Chu He drank seven cups of tea, and in each cup of tea, the true energy condensed the tea leaves, and put a few words.
This is the agreed communication method between Chu He and his subordinates lurking in the Cold Army.
After reading the words and knowing it, Chuhe will blow away the tea leaves.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is more secure.
"Lai Junchen has indeed begun to be valued by Suo Yuanli. When he succeeds, Wu Zetian's biggest, most poisonous and cruel mad dog will be released from the gate!"
"So to avoid being entangled by this mad dog, I seem to do something."
After getting off the teahouse, Chuhe walked along Tianjie and entered Xishi.
Among the Shendu, most of the North and South cities sell rare items from various countries. However, most of the West cities are teahouses, restaurants, brothels, and various daily necessities stores.
The most popular ones, the most profitable ones, are still the casinos.
Chu He came to the casino, of course, not to bet on money, but to find someone.
But do you still remember another option that made Chu He hesitate before the initial arrival?
Wu Sansi's cheap nephew Ye Liang, Chu He is looking for him. Although this person is a playboy, he is not lustful and not drunk, but he likes gambling. He spends almost all day in the casino.
He was born in Li, Longxi, and was also a Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Maybe one day he would be entangled by Lai Junchen and his gang of mad dogs.
If you are involved with Wu Sansi through Ye Liang's relationship in advance, then even if Lai Junchen is bold, he will probably have to consider it a little. Moreover, it is Chu He who has a connection with Ye Liang, which is also a plan for future things, and it is also an experiment.
As for directly capturing Lai Junchen who had not yet made a fortune and planting the Fire Soul Slave Curse, Chu He thought about it, but he denied it again.
In the next few years, Lai Junchen was extremely active, but I am afraid that even the powerful people of the three religions who were secretly competing will pay attention to him.
Although Chu He's Fire Soul Slave Curse has extraordinary effect, its method is not really unique and invisible.
It can only be said that those who chose Chu He to plant the Fire Soul Slave Curse are people with low status. They are not qualified to be exposed to existences with the ability to lift the slave curse for them.
In the Jinshan Gambling House, Chu He glanced around and found Ye Liang, who had lost face and turned blue at a gambling table.
This is Chu He's third time entering a casino. Overall, the casino seems to have more scenes. According to Chu He's character, there should be more scenes in brothels.
Walking at the gambling table where Ye Liang was, Chu He seemed to accidentally participate in the gambling game, using a little trick, winning and losing.
Overall, it maintains a small win trend.
The effect of making relationships at the gambling table is no less than that of the wine table. With Chu He's deliberate cater to it, Ye Liang has begun to call Chu He "Brother Li". Chu He calls Ye Liang more affectionately "Brother Shaochen".
Ye Liang's name is Shaochen, and this name can only be said to be no one else.
When Ye Liang lost cleanly, Chu He also lost ten taels of silver.
The two walked out of the casino cursing and cursing all the way, but they had a somewhat united hatred for the enemy.
"Let's go! Brother Shaochen! Let's not come to this gambling house again in the future! Look at the pattern. There is a Taotie blocking the road at the front entrance. There is a golden toad absorbing water in the middle of the lobby. There is a row of warrior guards holding swords on both sides. I have seen all of them. Those swords have killed people, seen blood, and are dedicated to killing wealth. It's simply not a way out for guests!" Chu He said endlessly.
What he said was not a random fabrication, but just a casino. How many of them didn’t play tricks?
Nine out of ten gambling is cheated. Others just set up a few big formations to kill wealth and swallow gold and water, and do not directly deal with tampering on the gambling table. This is already considered kind-hearted.
After hearing Chu He's words, Ye Liang's eyes flashed with golden light: "Brother Li! Brother Li! I didn't expect you to have this skill. It really... I admire you very much."
After leaving the casino, I obviously began to have a little cold relationship, because Chu He's words changed again.
Chu He deliberately made a proud expression and blew the water without hesitation: "Li Chunfeng, do you know! When Master Li passed by my house and saw that there was a light of inspiration behind me, he wanted to accept me as his disciple. My father refused, so Master Li left regretfully. Before leaving, he left me a book called "Sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", which records various Feng Shui evil formations, which are considered to be a rare book."
