C3582 Drag you into the water (1/2)

Li Tuo did not want officials, but this did not mean that he did not want power.

There was a relationship between power and an official position, but there was no absolute relationship between them. Wasn't one of the first or second rank officials of the imperial court high enough? When facing Ci Xi's personal eunuchs, he had to greet them with a smile as well as give them presents.

The so called Prime Minister's gatekeeper was a seventh grade official. Of course, power could be divided into tangible and intangible, what Li Tuo wanted was intangible power.

It would suffice to walk Li Lianying's path to give him money, but to walk Ci Xi's path to give him money was not very useful!

Li Tuo didn't want to find a way to rely on the relationship between Li Lianying and Ci Xi to gain Ci Xi's trust.

Li Tuo had to establish a direct contact with Ci Xi, then he would have to give Ci Xi a gift personally!

What gift was Ci Xi looking for? Money and power, these are things that Li Tuo can't give him. Ci Xi likes money but they are all worth millions of silver taels.

All that was left was to serve his master and compete for power in the imperial court … However, this kind of contribution could only be found by luck but not sought after.

After thinking about it, Li Tuo felt that he should start from Ci Xi's natural identity. You are a woman, and a widow, so I'll just send you off as a man.

Li Tuo had gambled on the life of a whole family, if Ci Xi fell out with Li Tuo, the entire family would be beheaded!

Li Lianying was also scared to the point of sweating, ”Li Tuo... You play like this... He really didn't care about his life! ”This is an evil trick. If the bet goes right, you'll fly up. If you lose …”

”Have you thought about it …” Otherwise, even the ancestral tombs will be dug! ”

Li Tuo said ferociously: ”Chief Steward, don't worry, this official understands … ”This official wants to bet on this …”

”Alright!” Li Lianying slapped her thigh and raised her big thumb, ”You're a real man, you're a hero!” She was willing to part with her entire body! ”You are a good man!”

”Since you're going all out, what else can I say …” Bring in that fool at the door! That brat's luck is really here! ”

Isha had already been blowing cold air at the door for a long time. In the afternoon when she was bathing, a few maid s rubbed off the oil that they had stored for over a month.

Although a new set of clothes was good, it was not as good as the well-fitting set of clothes. As he moved, he felt a bit awkward and itchy.

Just as he was feeling uncomfortable all over, the corner door suddenly opened, and the butler walked towards him and ordered, ”Who is Isha?”

”This official is, this official is …”

”Come in, the steward wants to meet you …”

Isha carefully walked along the way and waited at the door for another quarter of an hour before she heard Li Tuo's voice from inside, ”You're here? ”Let him in …”

After blowing on the cold wind for more than two hours, Isha's entire body was stiff, the moment she entered the parlour, she could smell the hot air as well as the fragrance of the food mixed with the fragrance of the flowers.

”Greetings to Chief Steward … ”Greetings to Lord Li …” Isha knew that her status was low, so there was no need for him to care about her face, she entered the house and immediately knelt and kowtowed, if Li Lianying did not speak, he would not dare to stand up.

The upper class liked to treat you coldly. They would purposely waste your time and temper you … Li Lianying and Li Tuo chatted as they drank wine and drank three more cups. Only then did they take a closer look at Isha.

”Isha, ah... Get up... Inner Right Gate is also a common sight... ”Let's have a seat!”

Isha sat on the edge of the round stool with her buttocks half-way up, her hands nervously placed on her knees. When the servant brought the bowls and chopsticks over, how would he dare to touch them?

”It's not mine, I'm not greedy …” ”It's not mine, I don't want it …” Isha recited the Three Character Classic in his heart, completely dispelling the thought of eating it.
