This matter actually involves spies from other countries.
Li Le was just surprised to see that Minister Zhou looked serious and didn't seem to be joking.
Li Lezhi: …
This is a potential threat to him. Who knows if these spies will target him after he becomes famous.
In order to resolve these potential threats, Li Lezhi would of course not disagree and started to calculate silently.
While he was calculating, Minister Zhou looked at him curiously. Even though it was the second time he saw Taoist Li calculating with his bare hands, he still couldn't help being shocked.
He had never seen a young Taoist priest who could do this.
It seems that the only one who can do this is Xuan Yangzi, but Xuan Yangzi is already so old this year, how can he be compared to ordinary people.
Is this what it means to be a genius? He cannot be treated like an ordinary person.
How could such a person be unknown? They have never heard of each other's name until now.
If the Minister had not mentioned Taoist Master Li to him, he would have missed out on this great master.
Minister Zhou has already prepared a memorial to His Majesty. Now that the Zhaoguo spies dared to show up and kill people, if they knew about Li Daochang and took the risk, if such a thing really happened, Daliang would suffer heavy losses.
Of course, there is one more important thing, which is to persuade Taoist Li to go to Beijing with him.
Li Le just calculated it.
It was indeed as Minister Zhou thought, the murderers were indeed spies from the State of Zhao. In order to resolve the potential threat, Li Lezhi also told Minister Zhou where the spies from the State of Zhao were hiding in Daliang. www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
Upon hearing this, Minister Zhou was shocked and said, "Master Li, you said that Zhao State has bases in Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Jingzhou."
Among these three places, if Qingzhou had not calculated the flood, it would have suffered heavy losses. And the spies from Zhao State mixed in and instigated the riots. Minister Zhou dared not imagine what would happen in Qingzhou. The court might have to send troops to suppress the rioting people. At that time, no matter what the result was, Qingzhou would be seriously damaged.
Furthermore, Qingzhou has thousands of acres of fertile land and is the province in Daliang that grows the most grain and produces the best harvests. If a flood really occurs, the whole place will be in chaos.
Minister Zhou took a deep breath. Even though he had cultivated his energy for many years, which made him calm in the face of emergencies, he was still surprised when he suddenly thought of this. There was a different color in his eyes when he looked at Li Lezhi.
Yuzhou and Jingzhou are even more important. Yuzhou borders Zhao State, and Jingzhou borders Snow State. Both states are important border areas, and in such places, there are spies from Zhao State lurking. It is conceivable that Zhao State has evil ambitions.
As long as the time is ripe and he steals the border defense layout, he will dare to march south to seize many places in Daliang.
Back then, because Tian Yanzi was very meticulous in his planning, he calculated all the crises that Daliang would face and planned for many years. This is how Daliang, which was in ruins, was brought back to life. Even today, many countries are wary of Daliang because of this.
Today, no Taoist priest in Daliang can compare with Tian Yanzi. Although Xuan Yangzi is strong, he cannot reach Tian Yanzi's level.
In the eyes of other countries, Daliang was probably on the decline and would never be able to reproduce its former glory. They were also afraid that another Tian Yanzi would appear in Liang State.
The Taoist who had predicted the flood in Qingzhou had already shown his true colors, so Zhaoguo took the risk, exposing his ambition and no longer lying dormant.
After figuring out everything, Minister Zhou looked at Li Lezhi with an unusual look. If he was right, Taoist Li, who could calculate this far, was the one who predicted the flood in Qingzhou, and the one who died was just an imposter. If this was true, the other party had done a good thing.
I'm afraid they didn't realize that they killed the wrong person.
Furthermore, regardless of whether Taoist Li was the Taoist who calculated the flood in Qingzhou, he could not be treated as an ordinary Taoist. With such ability, he should be treated better. Moreover, with such ability, it should not be difficult to calculate the flood.
It just so happens that if Your Majesty knew that the Taoist priest who could predict the flood was still alive, he would be very pleased. However, the Qingzhou governor Gongsun Zhuoran is a tough nut to crack. If Taoist Li is not one of them, Your Majesty would be angry if he rashly exposed the matter.
This matter needs further consideration.
Minister Zhou was thinking about this. He smiled and said gently, "Thank you very much. If it is true as Master Li said, then we have caught a big fish, which is a great achievement."
He didn't expect that he could get credit just by doing a simple calculation. However, he still had to calculate accurately. In case they didn't catch the person, then this credit would be just a blank check and could not be taken seriously.
Li Le just calmed down and said "hmm" lightly.
Then he said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back to the Taoist temple first."
"Wait a minute," Minister Zhou said immediately, "I have something else to discuss with Taoist Li. Would Taoist Li be willing to go to the capital with us?"
"Going to the capital?"
Li Lezhi had never thought about this. It was difficult to survive in a remote county, let alone in the capital. The capital was a place where a brick could hit a fifth-rank official. He was just a small Taoist priest. If he offended someone in the capital, even Governor Qian might not be able to protect him.
But the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, is indeed much safer than Da'an County. Another point is that if he wants to become famous, he can do so faster in the capital city.
Although he had already figured out that the allegation that someone was targeting him from behind was groundless, he now figured out that spies from other countries would secretly assassinate the Taoist priest.
After all, Da'an County is too small, with too few guards, or even none at all, and there is no way to protect his safety. Only in the capital, even if there are spies, they dare not act recklessly.
The more Li Le thought about it, the more he felt that Beijing was a good place.
Minister Zhou also said: "Yes, those villains dare not act recklessly under the feet of the emperor in the capital. Even if the Taoist priest is able to predict the future, he can't beat four hands with two fists. If the hidden spies in other countries know the Taoist priest's reputation, as it is today, Da'an County will not be able to protect the Taoist priest's life."
"Let me think about it."
Li Lezhi has already decided to go to the capital, but he doesn't want to agree right away. This Minister Zhou probably wants to invest in him as he is impressed by his fortune-telling skills.
Now he can only calculate with his hands, which is generally accurate, but he does not know how to use tortoise shell divination, etc. In the eyes of investors, this is a shortcoming and his weakness.
It's not a good deal if you're the one who's trying to make the deal. If he agrees immediately, the other party may not take him seriously.
As the saying goes, if something comes too easily, you won’t cherish it.
After all, if he really wanted to go to the capital, he would still need Minister Zhou's help and care before he could gain a foothold in the capital.
Li Lezhi didn't let Minister Zhou wait for too long. After about a day or two, he agreed to go to the capital.
After knowing this, Minister Zhou laughed heartily.
The Dali Temple judge standing next to Minister Zhou looked at him in confusion. It was rare to see Minister Zhou express his emotions so openly.
He asked tentatively: "Master Zhou, he is just a Taoist priest who can calculate. Why are you so happy and take him to the capital?"
"Well, you also know who is Taoist Li's disciple. We can't let Qian Xi stay in this small place like Da'an County forever. Governor Qian doesn't want to see such a situation."
"Why does Minister Zhou think so highly of that Taoist priest?
As if remembering something, the judge of the Dali Temple sighed and said, "Master Zhou, if we really believed what the Taoist said, we would have classified this case as a murder by a spy from Zhao State. The dead person was the Taoist who calculated the flood in Qingzhou. If the governor of Qingzhou knew about this, he would not believe it. Moreover, this case was calculated by the Taoist. Has the Minister forgotten this?"
"Well, what could be a more suitable identity than to push it onto the Zhaoguo spy? Do you also think that the people of Daliang would kill the Taoist priests of Daliang? If so, wouldn't it chill the hearts of Taoist priests all over the world? That Taoist priest Li is a reasonable person."
The judge of the Dali Temple suddenly realized what was going on and gave a thumbs up, praising him: "Great, the Minister is still smart. If you put the blame on the Zhaoguo spy, His Majesty will only be angry at Zhaoguo."
I thought that the Taoist priest was really good at fortune-telling to that extent, and even the Minister believed it. I didn't expect that the Minister just wanted to put the blame on Zhao Guo, and the Taoist priest just happened to say something that touched the Minister's heart.
He was almost fooled by the Taoist priest.
If he hadn't been curious and searched all night, he would not have known that Taoists needed the help of tortoise shells and other things to calculate a vague direction. How could he be like that Taoist who could tell the exact direction without the help of tortoise shells?
You can tell at first glance that he is not a serious Taoist priest.
No one knew where this wild Taoist priest came from, or maybe he just learned a little bit and came out to cheat people. He was really good at fooling people, and even he almost got fooled.
Minister Zhou knew that the Taoist priest had no special abilities, yet he still sent him to the capital. Could it be that Minister Zhou wanted the Taoist priest to replace the dead person and claim that he was the Taoist priest who predicted the flood?
If this is true, His Majesty will be delighted, but such a thing can be easily exposed, so why would Minister Zhou take the risk? Unless Minister Zhou wants to build momentum for this Taoist priest, so that other countries will know that there is such a Taoist priest who can predict the future in Daliang, and that he is in the capital and protected by His Majesty, so that other countries can do nothing and become wary.
It’s high, really high.
Minister Zhou is truly a brilliant planner.
Minister Zhou glanced at him indifferently, and seeing that the judge of the Dali Temple was fooled by his words and really thought that Taoist Li had no ability, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The judges of the Dali Temple are usually gossipy and will definitely tell their friends about the fact that Taoist Li has no ability. However, as long as they offend Taoist Li, they can eliminate many political enemies without him having to do anything.
He'd better pray that there is no dirty business on his hands, otherwise, the Ministry of Justice is not a good place to be.
Li Le packed up his belongings and looked at the Taoist temple where he had lived for a long time, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
He originally wanted to make more money to renovate and expand the Taoist temple, but who would have thought that plans could not keep up with changes and he now has to go to the capital.
Before leaving, he burned incense to the three masters as he did in the past, and then left with his two apprentices.
As for the Taoist temple, the Gao family will send people to take care of it and will not let it be abandoned.
The moment he walked out of the door, Gao Mingli's foot was about to cross the threshold, but he immediately retracted it and shouted, "Wait!"
Li Le just turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Gao Mingli: "Master, let me calculate whether I should go out with my left foot or my right foot first."
After being visited by yamen runners last time and being involved in a murder case, Gao Mingli suspected that he did not do his calculations before he went out that time.
This time, I have to go on a long journey again.
I can't get involved in murder cases again.
Li Lezhi: “…”
Qian Xi: “…”
The two men did not interrupt Gao Mingli and let him calculate.
Gao Mingli had calculated it. He figured out that he should go to the right first. He almost stepped out of the door with his left foot.
Gao Mingli stepped over the threshold and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him like this, Li Lezhi did some calculations and realized that the journey would not be safe.
Li Le just frowned.
He kept the matter to himself.
When he saw the big ship at the ferry, he fell into deep thought. It was unsafe on the road, and it was unsafe on the water. Could the ship sink?
That shouldn't be the case, for a ship this big.
But if you think about it, it is possible that it will happen, what if I am so unlucky.
Li Le only calculated immediately, and then he calculated that there would be an attack, which was even more outrageous. Such a large ship, and an official ship, was actually attacked. In this day and age, are there still such bold pirates?
Could it be that he miscalculated?
He went to the capital to save his life, not to lose it. If he was really attacked in the river, swords and knives had no mercy, and who knew whether he would be injured or even die.
Li Le hesitated for a moment, but still walked to the side of Minister Zhou, wanting to remind him. After all, such a large official ship showed that Minister Zhou had also taken the water route to Yangzhou, and now it was not realistic to switch to land.
When Minister Zhou saw Li Lezhi, he asked with a smile, "Master Li, is there anything I can do for you?"
Li Lezhi: "I just had a fortune-teller's divination, and the journey may not be safe."
The judge of the Dali Temple heard this and snorted, "Master Li, you are too serious. We came to Yangzhou by water and did not encounter any problems along the way. Master Li, please stop exaggerating."
