Chapter 295: It’s a good idea to push the blame, but it’s too early

So, wait until you return to Youjian Inn.

There was no confusion on Jiang Liu's face. He had determined the path he would take in the future. Although he didn't have a big idea of ​​what to do specifically, he already had a general direction.

It's just looking for someone. In front of Donor Su, it really doesn't matter.

"Master, I am going to give gifts to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for his birthday!"

Jiang Liu said resolutely: "And I have decided that I must stand out among the many gifts and gain the attention of Emperor Tang. It would be even better if I could receive him alone."

The first instinct of Monk Sanzang, who was sitting among a pile of treasures with a smile on his face, was to hide all the treasures behind him and said on guard: "What do you want to do?"

"No reason, just to find that Donor Cui!"

Jiang Liu said seriously: "Master, you don't need to use your treasures. You just need to go with your disciples. After all, if I don't borrow my identity as a disciple of Brahma Temple, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Emperor Tang at all, but as long as I can see If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty offers a treasure that can impress him, then if he wants to reward his disciples, the disciples can ask him for the names, ages, and lives of all the Cui family members. At that time, based on these information, Cui can be found. The donor’s mother got married…and it’s okay…”

He did not continue.

I just thought that my purpose is to find someone anyway, so looking for one person is also looking for someone, and looking for two people is also troublesome. I didn’t expect that Benefactor Su was also looking for someone, so it’s just right, just mention it by the way!

Monk Sanzang said in confusion: "Indeed, my master also felt that since we happened to meet at the right time, it would be unreasonable if we didn't show any expression, so I have already planned to write a letter to the Zen master, senior brother, asking him to send me a letter of eight thousand taels. If you have already prepared some birthday gifts for me, it will save me the trouble. But what are you going to use?"

As he spoke, he quietly hid several relatively precious things behind his back.

Jiang Liu said: "This disciple has an irreversible friendship with Benefactor Su. He once got a map of mountains, rivers and the country by chance. This thing is of no use to him, so he has promised to give it to his disciple. And he also promised his disciple that in the future, he will The treasure has nothing to do with him anymore and is treated as a gift from our Brahma Temple."

"Mountains and rivers and the country's map!?"

Sanzang raised his eyebrows and said: "Is this thing really precious enough to make Emperor Tang look at you with admiration?!"

"Actually, the young monk has never seen such treasures, but Donor Su has always been smart. Since he has said that he can impress Emperor Tang, he will definitely be able to impress him. I have confidence in Donor Su!"

"That's fine. In this case, it will save us a lot of money."

But in this case, wouldn't it be in vain that I had written a letter to the Zen master brother before?

No...it can't be in vain...

In just a few breaths of time, Master Tripitaka had already decided, how could his efforts be in vain? The letter should be sent, and the required expenses must be paid, just keep it for yourself...Senior brother is stingy, it is not easy to get a chance to squeeze some money out of his hands, such a good opportunity, don't use it in vain .

Thinking about it, he patted his apprentice on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Good apprentice, you are still good at it. After going out, you actually saved me so much money. But what about the treasure he said, you still have to get it in advance." Take a look."

"Master, don't worry. Donor Su said that he will give me the treasure in seven days. There are still nearly a month before Emperor Tang's birthday. We can definitely take a look at the treasure that Donor Su said can impress Emperor Tang. The true appearance.”

"When the time comes, my master will go with you. I will definitely see what's precious about it."

Sanzang frowned and murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's really strange. Could it be that I really missed something particularly precious at that time?"

And at this time...

Li Zongdao, one of the important figures in the Qiwang family of the Five Surnames, is a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, and has been given the title of king for a long time. In terms of status, he is already one of the most senior people in the entire Tang Dynasty!

It's just that at this time, he didn't have the usual majesty and coldness. Instead, he was sweating profusely, his eyes were frightened, and he knelt on the ground without daring to move at all. He didn't even have the courage to kowtow and beg for mercy. There was just a hint of anger in his voice. He was so frightened that he said: "This is because I have neglected my duty. The picture you gave me was stolen and lost by my useless son!"

When the man sitting at the top heard what Li Zongdao said, his face was unsurprised. He rubbed his index finger and thumb slowly and said, "I just threw it away. I gave you that picture to throw away, right? I just didn't expect you." You're actually smarter than I thought, so you put the blame on your son? Hmm... You know how to work around it... You've always been smart, so if you make a mistake at this time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. "

"No...it's not what you think!"

Li Zongdao was about to cry and swallowed. It was clear that the man above him did not show any intention of punishing him, but he was frightened. He knew that if he said something wrong or concealed anything, then...

Li Zongdao already knew better than anyone how low that person's tolerance for deception was.

He trembled and said, "Indeed, I did intend to let my good-for-nothing son accidentally discover this item. He has always had a few good friends, who are from the Five Surnames. When the time comes, let my wicked son steal this item and give it to them... It can be said that the task has been completed silently. The map covers all the secret paths in the entire Chang'an City. If the people of the Five Surnames get this map and find that they can enter and exit the Daming Palace freely, their tolerance for Your Majesty will certainly decrease a lot. At that time, they will definitely take risks. To carry out the assassination!"

"You were planning... What about now?"

"Now, I haven't started to arrange it yet, but my useless son has already found the map and sold it!"

Li Zongdao was about to cry. The prince who was extremely majestic in the past was like a trembling quail at this time. Rather than being afraid, he was worried about his son's life. But even so, he didn't dare to blame others for his son's misfortune, but told the truth: "And the most important thing is that even he himself doesn't know how precious the thing he lost is, so he can't remember where the thing went!"

The fingers that were stroking paused, and the man at the top said unhappily: "So, I want to see the drama of the five surnames and seven families assassinating the Tang emperor on the birthday, and I can't see it? ! And the map that was originally just a tool is gone? ! Even, you don't know who got it? ! "

"I'm already tracing it as soon as possible. I have collected all the people that my evil son has come into contact with during this period. Everyone has been traced, I believe there will be some clues soon!"

"But the map was leaked after all, right? !"

The man at the top said coldly: "Li Zongdao, you raised a good son, who is much more promising than you. I originally planned to take out this map to arouse the ambitions of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, so as to cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty, and then take it back afterwards, but you actually threw the map away. Now how many people have seen this map, and even you don't know, right? !"

There was already some uncontrollable anger in his voice!

"That's... exactly!"

"Very good! I know what you want to ask me for... Go, within seven days, I want to see this picture appear in the hands of the person in charge of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, and you know how to deal with the rest of the irrelevant people who have seen this picture. If you can do it, I will forgive Li Jingren's fault. If not, you can deal with it yourself!"

"Thank...thank you very much!"

Although it was an extremely impolite remark, it made Li Zongdao very happy. At least, his son's life could still be saved. He said respectfully: "The villain... I'll take my leave!"

"Go!"

Li Zongdao's figure gradually disappeared.

At this time, Li Zongdao, who was far away in the Prince's Mansion, suddenly woke up in the study, with a dejected look on his face, and breathed a sigh of relief.

His face showed a bit of anger, and he shouted: "Come here, thoroughly investigate all the people who have entered and left the Prince's Mansion during this period! Also, hang that evil son up for a day and a night, and don't allow him to eat or drink water!!!"
