Li Ye nodded helplessly, "Are these three pieces of jade?"

Li Linfu pointed at Li Ye, "You boy, your eyes are really poisonous. Those three treasures date from the first year of Dazu. Zhang said that he had contributed a lot by participating in the compilation of "Three Religions of Pearls". Wu Zetian rewarded him with the three white jade treasures. After Wu Zetian's fall, the minister They all handed over the gifts given by Wu Zetian to the court to express their severance of relations with Wu Zetian. Zhang said that he also handed over a batch of gifts, but they did not include these three pieces of white jade. He said that these three pieces of jade were lost on the way back from Lingnan, and the court So we didn’t pursue the matter.”

Li Ye smiled and said: "It seems that these three jade articles are also evidence that the Zhang family deceived you and ignored you. I will give them to my grandfather!"

"Okay! Give it to me first, and I'll give you a jade gourd later. I guarantee you'll like it."

Li Ye reported his dealings with the Yuan family to his grandfather again. Li Linfu knew that his grandson was still worried about the Yuan family's affairs, and thought that he was deceiving the Yuan family and not being trustworthy. In fact, this kind of intrigue in official circles is quite normal.

His grandson is still too young and his thoughts are relatively simple, but Li Linfu doesn't want his image in his grandson's heart to be too bad. He has to worry more about the Yuan family.

Li Linfu thought for a while and then said: "Don't worry! I will properly compensate the Yuan family. I believe that Yuan Yuan hopes that his grandson will have a bright future, maybe next year! I will arrange a real vacancy for the county magistrate for Yuan Xiao, so that he will be away for five years." Yuan Yuan understands the detour, and the first five years of his official career are crucial!"

Li Ye could also feel that his grandfather was taking great pains to appease him. He bowed and said, "Let grandfather worry about it!"

"You will understand my difficulties in the future!"

Li Linfu smiled and said again: "Perhaps a new minister will be announced in the next few days. You and Yuan Xiao must work together quickly and come up with big things that Yu Wenjing can't afford. It's best to have something to do with the Northern Zhou royal family, otherwise The emperor can tolerate all things, but this is the only thing the emperor cannot accept."

"My grandson understands!"

Li Linfu took out the bank deposit certificate of two thousand guan and gave it to Li Ye, "You have been spending a lot of money these days. This is 2,000 guan. You can keep it for yourself!"

"Thank you, grandpa!" Li Ye took the counter ticket politely and hurriedly said goodbye.

Li Linfu felt extremely happy, his grandson was very capable in doing things! He actually got Zhang Jun's handle. Even if Yu Wenjing was brought down, he didn't have to worry about the second Yu Wenjing showing up. He had to plan carefully, how to get Zhang Jun to be the prime minister?

Li Ye walked quickly to the front door of the mansion, and heard rapid drumbeats in the distance. It was about to be the first watch, and the drums to close the gate had already sounded.

The housekeeper said to Li Ye with concern: "The gate of the house is about to be closed, and it will definitely be too late to return to the Imperial College. Sanshibalang will stay here tonight! Your father's yard is still open."

Li Ye's identity has been changed to the legitimate son, but he still doesn't want to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are too many auras of Yu Wenluo and Li Huai in that courtyard.

The same goes for his mother. On the third day after the official marriage, Pei Sanniang and her husband Li Dai moved to the house in Taipingfang.

So much so that other people in the Li family thought that the head of the family had bought a house for Li Dai alone.

Li Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, steward. I have something to do tonight, so I'll ask the steward to take care of the horses."

"Don't worry! I will make arrangements."

Now everyone in the mansion knows that Sanshibalang is the prime minister's most valued grandson. Even if the other legitimate sons and grandsons are dissatisfied, there is nothing they can do. In this case, how can the servants dare to neglect Li Ye, and it is too late to flatter him.

Li Ye quickly left the side door and walked out of the alley. At this time, the drums stopped and the gate should be closed.

The porter looked at Li Ye's walking back and whispered: "The gate is closed, how should Sanshiba Lang get out?"

The housekeeper smiled and said: "I guess he has the sign given by the Prime Minister!"

The concierge stuck out his tongue and said, "Good boy, I even gave you the Xiangguo brand."

The housekeeper turned around and glared at the concierge, "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will kick you out of the house!"

"I don't dare! I don't dare!"

In fact, the housekeeper also guessed wrong. Li Ye did not have any Xiangguo brand. He only had a Baoshou card that could be used three times.

The closure of Chang'an's square gate is actually just to guard against gentlemen, not villains. The total population of Chang'an is nearly two million, and many people make a living at night. Closing the square gate has no meaning to them.

Although there were Jinwu guards patrolling the streets, most of the people they caught were ordinary people who couldn't get back to their homes in time. They couldn't catch the real night walkers.

Li Ye easily climbed over the wall of the square and ran towards the west gate. He took a small path and spotted a group of Jinwu Guards soldiers from a distance. He climbed over the wall again and entered the square, walked for a while and then came out.

More than half an hour later, Li Ye arrived at Daye Martial Arts Hall and found Zhang Ping's tent directly in the backyard. He pushed open the curtain and went in. He only heard a woman's scream and saw two white bodies at first glance. Li Ye was frightened. Ye quickly exited the tent.

"Little Fatty, it's me!" Li Ye said angrily.

Only the mutterings in the tent were heard. After a while, Zhang Ping came out and muttered in a low voice: "Should I ask before entering the tent?"

Li Ye pointed to the big tent and said, "Is she your wife?"

"of course not!"

"Then she is your fiancée?"

"How is that possible? She's just a prostitute!"

Li Ye kicked his ass, "Then what do you have to complain about?"

Zhang Ping scratched his head and said with a dirty smile: "How about you come and try it later, it's very good, I'll treat you!

"Go away, I have something serious to do with you, send her away quickly."

"The gate is closed, where do you want her to go? She still wants to spend the night at my place!"

"Then come here and say a few words!"

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Ping ran back to the main tent and locked the big iron box that contained his money. The box weighed several thousand kilograms, so I doubt the woman would be able to steal it.

"Tell me! What's the matter?"

Li Ye pulled Zhang Ping aside and asked him in a low voice: "I came to see Black Spear, where did you place him?"

"He is no longer called Black Spear now. We all call him Brother Hei. He is taller than me, and his martial arts skills are amazing! This is it!" Zhang Ping gave a thumbs up.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Where are the others?"

"You come with me!"

Zhang Ping took Li Ye to a courtyard in front, which is where the coaches live. Currently, only Hei Spear lives there. The other three coaches are locals and have to go home at night.

Black Spear is in dire straits now. Several killers sent by Yang Hao found the countryside of Xianyang and wanted to kill him. During the fierce fight, his wife and five-year-old son were shot dead by the killers with poisonous crossbows. In order to save him, the old father held off the killers. The leader was stabbed through the chest with a sword and died.

The one-year-old daughter escaped because she was at her wet nurse's house. Hei Spear was desperate and had no choice but to hold her daughter and come to Li Ye for help.

Li Ye temporarily placed him in Daye Martial Arts Hall.

Zhang Ping knocked on the door, and the door opened. A very tall figure appeared, it was Black Spear. His real name was Ding Quan. He was nearly two meters tall and extremely strong. He was originally a general of the Knight Cavalry Guard, but now He has been removed from the Xiaoqi Guards, and has been charged with treason by the Yang family. He is wanted everywhere.

Ding Quan saw Li Ye and saluted quickly, "See you, young master!"

Li Ye walked into the room and asked with a smile: "How is the child?"

"The child is already asleep. Thanks to the owner of the library, he asked an aunt to help. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "It's Aunt Luo who cooks for us!"

Li Ye asked him to sit down and said to him: "You should know about your situation outside!"

Ding Quan nodded, "I found a colleague with whom I have a good relationship this morning. He told me that I had been removed from the Knight Cavalry Guards and was charged with treason and collaborating with the enemy. The Yang family has gone too far!"

Li Ye waved his hand and said, "This is why I came to you. The Yang family is too powerful. Now is not the time for revenge. If they can tolerate it any longer, they won't have a few years left."

Ding Quan lowered his head and remained silent. Li Ye said again: "I know that you have a blood feud with the Yang family. This revenge is not unavenged, it must be avenged, but not now. Now you act recklessly. Not only can't you avenge your revenge, but you have also lost it in vain." life."

Ding Quan raised his head and said with hatred: "I'm not a fool, and I also know that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, but the killer who stabbed my father to death, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw him piercing my father's chest with a long sword. , and my son, who he also shot with a poisonous arrow. The child was only five years old! I can wait for the Yang family, but I must kill this killer leader."

"Does this murderous leader have any characteristics on his face or body?"

"They all cover their faces with black cloth, so their facial features cannot be seen, but this leader has a plum blossom carved on the back of his right hand."

Zhang Ping said next to him: "Leave this matter to me! I will investigate it slowly for you, and I will definitely help you find the killer with the plum blossoms on the back of his hand."

Ding Quan quickly saluted Zhang Pingping, "Thank you so much, Master!"

Li Ye added: "After you find him, don't rush to take action. Let me know. We will wait for the opportunity and hunt him down together."

Ding Quan nodded silently, and Li Ye glanced at the sleeping child on the bed again, and asked him: "It's inconvenient for you to carry the child. Do you have any relatives to help you raise her?"

"Yes! My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both in Wugong County, and my brother is also in the army in Luoyang."

"Can the Yang family find out your father-in-law's family?"

Ding Quan shook his head, "Not even my father knows, let alone others. Only my wife and I know, no one else knows."

"You can give the child to your mother-in-law to take care of tomorrow, and then take her back when she is older."

Li Ye immediately said to Zhang Ping: "Give Ding Quan three hundred taels of silver, and it will be on my head!"

Ding Quan knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "Young Master has been so kind to you, Ding Quan will definitely repay it with a ring!"
