She remained unresponsive until the door was pushed open, like a walking dead.
"Boss, long time no see."
Li Xiao greeted with a smile.
Hearing Li Xiao's voice, the woman turned her head abruptly, her eyes glowing again.
"King Yue?" She quickly stood up and said excitedly, "Are you here to let me go?"
"Leave?" Li Xiao sneered: "You are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. It's good enough to survive. Do you still want to leave?"
"you!"
The woman looked excited and roared angrily: "Didn't Your Highness promise me that as long as I cooperate, I will let me go?"
"I only said that I would consider it, but the crime you committed is too great, and if you are let go, the price will be too great." Li Xiao said flatly.
Hearing this, the woman sat down slumped, her face ashen.
"Then why is Your Highness looking for this concubine? It seems that there is nothing for this concubine to use?"
"I came to ask you something."
As Li Xiao said, he asked his subordinates to take out the poisoned soap.
"You smell the poison on it, do you have any impression?"
"Hehe..." The woman laughed miserably, "If the concubine doesn't cooperate, will she be sent to hell right away?"
"That's not the case. Killing you won't do me any good." Li Xiao said flatly, "But if you are willing to help me, I can let you leave here and change to a relatively comfortable environment."
"How do you say that?" the woman asked suspiciously.
"You recognize this poison?" Li Xiao asked back.
"I haven't seen it before." The woman was thoughtful, "But I know someone personally, and he must know him."
"Who is it?" Li Xiao hurriedly asked.
"How does Your Highness plan to accommodate the concubine?" The woman stared at Li Xiao and said.
"Come to my villa." Li Xiao said seriously, "Ten years."
"Help me work for ten years, and I will let you go."
"Ten years?" The woman laughed miserably.
"What? Don't want to?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"Is there still a choice as a concubine?"
The woman laughed at herself and murmured: "Ten years... How many decades are there in life..."
"Then it's settled."
Li Xiao nodded, and suddenly asked, "By the way, I still don't know your name?"
"Concubine Han Ning, meet Your Highness!"
The woman knelt down and kowtowed.
"Han Ning, that's a good name, get up!" Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
"Let's go!"
After speaking, he took the lead to leave.
The woman stood up, looked back at the cold and damp cell, took a deep breath, and left.
"Your Highness, just leave like this?" Han Ning asked suspiciously when he came outside the cell.
Just when Han Ning was puzzled, several jailers in the distance saw the situation here and ran over one after another.
A person who seemed to be the prison boss hurriedly came to Li Xiao, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this is a repeat offender, and he cannot be taken away without an order from above."
Li Xiao took out a token with a blank face.
When he saw the token clearly, the prison boss looked shocked, and quickly lowered his head and said: "This subordinate is talking too much, Your Highness can take this person away."
Li Xiao continued to move forward.
Han Ning behind was surprised.
What token is it that can easily transfer her away?
After leaving the prison of the Criminal Ministry, Li Xiao threw the token in his hand to Zhao Yuntian, and said, "Old Zhao, send someone to send it to Fang Xuanling."
This token was obtained from Tanlang earlier.
He always thought that he thought Fang Xuanling was targeting him, so it never came in handy.
"Your Highness, this..."
Zhao Yuntian hesitated to speak.
"Say."
"Your Highness, why do you want to return the token to him?"
Zhao Yuntian expressed his worries: "It's a bit too ostentatious for us to pass on the order first and return the token now. If His Majesty knows about it..."
"Don't worry, he will understand when he sees the token." Li Xiao said thoughtfully.
It was only recently that he figured out why Tan Lang had Fang Xuanling's token in his hand.
Obviously, Tanlang's move is to set blame.
Assassinating the prince is a felony,
Even Fang Xuanling had to be dismissed and tried.
It can be seen from this that this is one of the real purposes of blaming Fang Xuanling.
But Li Xiaogong and Fang Xuanling are not political enemies.
Because even if Fang Xuanling stepped down, Li Xiaogong would not be able to take the position of prime minister.
This is what Li Xiao has been unable to figure out.
The two have no relationship at all.
Until Changsun Wuji showed hostility towards him.
Only then did he figure everything out.
Fang Xuanling stepped down, and Changsun Wuji was one of the most likely to succeed him.
But what is the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Li Xiaogong, Li Xiao does not know for the time being.
Of course, these are just his guesses.
"Subordinates obey!"
Zhao Yuntian immediately ordered his men to go down and deliver tokens.
"Your Highness, what are you doing next?" Zhao Yuntian asked again.
"What's next..." Li Xiao's lips curled up into a slight smile, "Old Zhao, let your people grab the money!"
"Grab money?"
Zhao Yuntian was stunned.
"Yes, as far as possible to patronize the shops of Tiansheng Commercial Bank."
Li Xiao jokingly smiled: "Of course, we can't directly call it a robbery. The name is justified, so we use Chang Sun Chong's IOU as an excuse."
"This... I don't know what kind of shops Tiansheng Commercial Bank has."
"Go to Cui Renshu and explain everything to him, he will be happy to help."
"My subordinate understands."
"Remember to leave as soon as you get the money. You must be fast and don't get blocked."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhao Yuntian made arrangements immediately.
In less than a moment, hundreds of guards were ordered to leave in a hurry.
At this time, there were only less than twenty guards left beside Li Xiao.
"Your Highness, let's go back as soon as possible, it's not safe here." Zhao Yuntian said.
"Have you heard of Tiaohulishan?"
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up, and his eyes swept across the corner of the street.
I caught a glimpse of a few sneaky people in an instant.
"Han Ning, take me to meet the poison master you mentioned."
Chapter 150: The Mysterious Mr. Yuan
At the same time, Changsun Wuji also received a tip.
"what?"
He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "All the guards dispersed, but I went to the West Market..."
"What exactly does Li Xiao want to do?"
"not good!"
The face of the expert with the surname Yun changed.
"Yunhai, what's the matter?" Changsun Wuji's expression darkened.
"My lord, Yun obtained the poison from a friend who happened to live in the dark workshop of the West Market."
Yun Hai thought for a while, then continued: "Then Li Xiao must have gone to look for him."
"Will he confess you?" Changsun Wuji asked with a frown.
"I don't know, this person's temperament is changeable, sometimes good and sometimes evil, hard to figure out."
"Why not get rid of the hidden dangers early?"
"My lord, it's not that Yun is not cautious enough, but..." Yun Hai smiled wryly, "It's that Yun is powerless."
"Is this person very strong?"
"Although his skills are strong, he is not as good as Yun. It's just that this person is extremely cautious, and the city is extremely deep. If he is willing to show up, there must be many traps around him, and Yun is not sure how to deal with him."
"There are such people in the capital?" Changsun Wuji thought thoughtfully, "Can you buy this person?"
"Disaster……"
Yun Hai shook his head lightly.
"You take me to meet this person."
"My lord, this person has never dealt with the imperial court. If he knows the identity of your lord, he may avoid it."
"It's okay."
……
At this time, Li Xiao took Han Ning, Zhao Yuntian and other [-] guards all the way west.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, I need to go in and inquire about the news." Han Ning said as they walked to the door of a medicine shop.
"Do you still want to ask for news?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"Your Highness doesn't know. The whereabouts of this friend I know is difficult to determine. I hardly know his exact location." Han Ning explained.
"Fine!"
Li Xiao waved his hand, signaling Han Ning to be free.
Immediately, Han Ning went into the medicine shop, but Li Xiao followed directly.
Han Ning was a little embarrassed at once, but he still didn't dissuade him.
She came to the counter and whispered to the shopkeeper: "Extremely moving and quiet, extremely quiet and cloudy, my concubine is Han Ning, and I want to see Mr. Yuan."
