Chapter 107 The Big Reversal (2/2)

Li Ye frowned slightly. Since Wei Baoheng said those demagogic words, Li Cui obviously intended to favor him. Although Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue's force didn't lose to Wei Baoheng's, it would be very difficult to bring down Wei Baoheng by this case.

This was the best situation. After all, Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue couldn't compete with Wei Baoheng in terms of the force in the court. Their greatest dependence was the Regal Guards and their main force was in the Imperial Palace.

After leaving Prince Pu's Manor, Li Ye didn't go back. He came to a wine shop through the streets.

He wanted to meet someone here.

Going up to the second floor, that person had already arrived and he was drinking wine sitting in front of the window. On the table in front of him, there was no food, but only wine pots, which showed that he only drank wine.

Not many people drank wine without food. Li Ye only knew one.

Sitting down at the table of the white-robed drinker with a sword, Li Ye finished a pot of wine without saying a word.

Finishing a pot of wine first is the most respect for drinkers. The most he drank, the more respect he showed.

”You're late.” Nangong Diyi was drunk and couldn't see clearly.

Li Ye smiled. ”I'm indeed not as coincident as your appearing in Huangli County.”

”It appears that you have something to ask me.” Nangong Diyi stared at Li Ye.

Li Ye nodded. ”I've already had a drink.”

”For the sake of your quick drinking, you ask.” Nangong Diyi waved his hand. ”But I don't necessarily answer.”

Li Ye looked at him. ”I only have one question.”

”No matter how many questions you have, it is my business whether I answer or not!” Nangong Diyi drank wine with his head up.

Li Ye asked, ”Is it you who stopped Wei Jiangnan?”

”I need to think about it,” Nangong Diyi answered seriously.

...

Splendid Pavilion.

Splendid Pavilion was a brothel, and it was one of the best brothels in Kang Fu Lane. The singsong girls and the geishas there were the best in Chang'an City. It was said that many of them were from Jiaofang.

The brothel was a gathering place for refined scholars. Even if singsong girls were not proficient in all kinds of talents, they were at least good at one or two of them.

For Wei Jiangnan who praised himself as a literary giant, the Splendid Pavilion was like a fairy palace. He came here almost as often as he came home.

Liu Sanniang, who took charge of it, remained charming. She was no longer young, but she was mature and enchanting. It was this extreme charm that made her still so popular today. She wasn't less popular than the most popular queen.

As the former popular queen in the Splendid Pavilion, Liu Sanniang rarely entertained people now, apart from the most distinguished guests.

But even in the face of those who were very powerful in the court, she could also talk and laugh with them with great ease.

At this moment, Liu Sanniang was making tea.

The times of Liu Sanniang's making tea in person was less than that of her entertaining the distinguished guests?

Her movements were still graceful, and she could be found no fault. Even the Tea Master in the Imperial Palace could only nod in admiration.

She sat down on her knees respectfully, not daring to say a word.

Her hands trembled slightly.

She was very careful.

She even dared not to lift her head to look straight at the man who was reading a book in his hands.

Wei Jiangnan sat nervously in front of that man.

Wei Jiangnan, who boasted himself as a scholar and had unrestrained manners in daily life, was like a child taught by his parents at this moment, behaving very well.

The man put down the book and took a look at Wei Jiangnan. ”You did a good job.”

”I must do my best for what you have commanded. The account book of interests transactions among my brother and officials at all classes records his bribes in detail. I stole it at great risk. I hope that you will be satisfied.” Wei Jiangnan bowed to the ground, his voice trembling slightly.

”I am very satisfied.” The man smiled.

”If you are satisfied, I wonder if you can lift the prohibition in my body...” Wei Jiangnan trembled.

”There's one more thing you haven't done,” the man said.

”This, this...” Wei Jiangnan's face was bloodless and his body was shaking like a sieve.

”If you don't want to continue to endure the pain, then you go to the Chang'an Office to surrender yourself. Explain what you have done in Huangli County and report Wei Baoheng's corruption.” The man's voice was flat. ”In this way, you can also make a contribution to the country.”

The man in a cyan robe without any ornamentation took the tea bowl that Liu Sanniang handed over respectfully and continued, ”I don't think you'll say no. You must know that no one is able to lift the prohibition that I planted in your body in the whole world except me!”

Sunlight filtered through the window sill and fell on his gray hair. When he drank tea, a wisp of gray hair fell on his shoulder, shining with golden color.

”Good tea. Why don't you drink it?”
