Chapter 423 Are you Tang Shi's friend?
The time when Xiao Chengyu disappeared was too coincidental.
They had just broken into the city when he disappeared.
Not only was he missing, but there were also rumors in the capital that the prince who had been lost among the people wanted to take back the capital.
There must be something fishy going on.
"Such a beautiful child must be very eye-catching."
"But we will not find her if we look for her in such a high-profile manner."
Gongsun Yue played with the fan in his hand and smiled evilly: "The royal capital is different from other places. After all, the royal capital is under the feet of the emperor, and the people live much more comfortably than other places."
"Dayun often instills some ideas of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in the people. This idea is deeply rooted, and it will be difficult for us to shake it in a short time. I am afraid it will take the efforts of several generations to change these people's minds."
"If we go looking for her openly, we will definitely alarm her. Even if those people don't know the identity of this child, they will subconsciously stop us."
Li Zhi hated these twists and turns the most. He felt a severe headache just listening to it.
"Don't talk about these roundabout ways, I really don't understand, just tell me what to do."
"There's a saying that goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. No matter how powerful a character is, he will have to lie down obediently in front of these local snakes."
Gongsun Yue picked up the portrait and said with a smile: "Give this portrait to the local private agents and tell them that they want this child to carry on the family line. As long as the price is enough, they dare to steal even the prince for you!"
Li Zhi: "?" "
Can this really work!"
"Why not? Don't underestimate these private agents. They have a deep relationship with some thieves, gangsters and ruffians. It's not difficult for them to find someone."
Li Zhi nodded, not quite understanding: "I don't know if your idea is good or not, the question is how much money is appropriate?"
"And I don't have that much money."
He lowered his head and smiled shyly: "I still have to save money to marry a wife."
"Okay, okay, I know you want to marry a wife, don't worry, you don't have to pay for this money, I'll go out."
The Gongsun family is a wealthy family in Tongmen Pass. Although they are not rich enough to rival a country, they also have a lot of assets.
He can still afford this little money.
"I'll take care of this matter, you just wait for good news."
Gongsun Yue put away his fan and said with a smile: "I'm tired of fighting all day these days, just take this opportunity to have a good rest."
Such a fun thing, he can't be left out.
He glanced at the tea on the table and rolled his eyes.
"Speaking of which, Tang Jiajun has been recuperating these days, and he must be extremely bored. I'll ask him to accompany me to watch the excitement."
He was injured, so of course he couldn't drink any wine.
This tea is not bad.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the tea in Wangdu was better than that in Tongmen Pass.
It was suitable for a gift.
He picked a few cans of tea and hummed a song to the general's mansion.
He was at the door, waiting for the servants to report. Before he entered the door, he heard a child shouting inside.
"Tang Shi, you bad guy, murderer, why don't you
die outside." "If it weren't for you, Daddy wouldn't die!"
"You should die as an atonement."
Gongsun Yue listened to these words, and his fists were a little hard.
He looked at the doorman next to him: "Who is making a fuss in there?"
"Why do you want to be beaten?"
If he hadn't been professionally trained, the doorman would have almost laughed out loud.
"Replying to Lord Gongsun, the one in there is our general's sister. She is still young and not very sensible. Please don't blame her, sir."
"She is quite sensible. She deserves a good beating."
As Gongsun Yue was talking, the servant came out of the mansion and saluted respectfully to Gongsun Yue, saying: "General, please come in."
In the past, this general relied on General Tang for support. With Tang Shi's rank, he could not live in such a large mansion.
But Tang Shi is no longer the fifth-rank general. He is now a first-rank general.
This house is certainly habitable. Not only is it habitable, Gongsun Yue also thinks it is too small and should be expanded.
Gongsun Yue walked in the house and admired the scenery of the general's mansion for a while, and then the child's voice rang in his ears again.
"Entertain guests!"
"Entertain what guests!"
"As long as I, Tang Ruxue, am here, you will never feel at ease and live comfortably. I want you to remember that it was you who killed your father. You are a sinner and traitor to Dayun!" "
Tang Ruxue, if you are free, go and practice your lessons, don't make trouble here."
Tang Shi's voice was a little tired, and it was obvious that she had been bothered by this little girl these days.
Gongsun Yue couldn't help but think of the days when he was tortured by his two nephews.
That period was really miserable.
He shook his head, carrying tea leaves and followed the servants into the main hall.
As soon as he came in, he found Song Ci was there, coaxing Tang Ruxue.
Song Ci also looked tired, obviously helpless with this little ancestor.
Tang Ruxue ran to Gongsun Yue as soon as she saw him.
"Are you Tang Shi's friend?"
"He is such a ruthless, heartless, and father-killing man, and he also has friends?"
Tang Shi's face turned pale: "Housekeeper, please take Ruxue back to the room and don't let her disturb the guests."
Tang Ruxue stiffened her neck unconvinced: "You did it, but you don't allow me to tell you?"
"Are you so afraid that I will expose your true face?"
Gongsun Yue said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, she is just a child. If she wants to stay here so much, let her stay here. It won't delay us."
"General Tang, your sister is really amazing. She uses idioms very well."
"My two nephews don't know so many idioms."
Hearing this, Tang Shi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Song Ci nodded honestly: "Indeed, she is amazing. I heard from the housekeeper that Ruxue has not read much, but she can still use so many idioms. It's really rare."
Tang Shi smiled bitterly: "Are you two teaming up to make fun of me?"
Gongsun Yue opened his fan and swayed slightly. He slumped in the chair, his posture leisurely and lazy.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not here to laugh at you, I'm here to save you from the dire situation."
"You know your Majesty's brother-in-law, right?"
"He's the king's uncle, so of course I know."
"Don't look at him as just a weak scholar, but he's not pedantic, and he has his own way of educating children. I think your sister still wants to bother you, purely because she's too idle. She's a child and doesn't study. She stays at home all day, so naturally she'll have all kinds of thoughts."
"You should send her to school and let knowledge give her a good beating."
Tang Shi shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. My sister has a bad temper. If she is sent to school, I'm afraid she will overturn the school."
