Chapter 187 Old friends meet

Zhao Yushu didn't understand why Li Jian was so naive, so naive that he thought that just because he had a good relationship with a teacher in the academy, he could try to spy on the seat that was stained with the blood of relatives, friends and enemies.

"I don't accept..."

Li Jian uttered these words with difficulty.

"If my brother hadn't died, he would have been the crown prince. Although there is no evidence, I know that it must have been the queen who killed him. Father is the inner scene, and the inner scene outside can't enter the palace at all!"

Zhao Yushu nodded: "Yes, so your father tacitly approved the killing of your brother."

Li Jian raised his head suddenly: "Impossible!"

"Look, you don't have any evidence, and you don't believe my guess. Old Li, you're putting me in a difficult position."

"Puchi!" Li Jian laughed, first softly, then loudly. He couldn't stop laughing and crying. Fortunately, Zhao Yushu had enveloped the box with his spiritual power in advance.

"I'm not cut out to be an emperor." Li Jian drank a glass of wine in one gulp and came to this conclusion.

"Well, at least you're not even a monk."

Li Jian paused, pointed at Zhao Yushu and cursed.

"Although the crown prince is not a good person, at least he is cold and ruthless. This word is actually a compliment when used to describe an emperor. It is a good word. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Jian nodded: "I understand, I may have read more books than you, but such a prince is not a good thing for the academy, is it?"

Zhao Yushu smiled again: "How many years has the academy been here?"

Li Jian thought for a moment and said, "About 1,200 years ago. The palace doesn't have the specific documents, but the academy should have them."

Shit, it took so long? Zhao Yushu secretly clicked his tongue, he had never looked up information on this before, but that didn't stop him from continuing to show off.

"Over a thousand years, there must have been a few remarkable emperors."

"Of course. For example, our Li family's great ancestor is a first-class figure."

"Has the academy collapsed?"

"Ok?"

"If a slightly more powerful emperor came to power, the academy would be trembling with fear as if it were facing a great enemy. Not only would the academy be finished, but the world would also be finished."

Li Jian might have drunk too much and his eyes looked a little confused.

"In other words, the academy doesn't care."

Li Jian understood.

"I've had enough wine and food, and I've said some things that I shouldn't have said. I'm very happy tonight." Li Jian let out a long sigh.

"Study hard and don't think about other things. The South is in chaos. If you don't have that mindset, why don't you go back and ask your father for permission to go to the South? Maybe you can save a few people."

"Brother Zhao is right. I will treat you to a meal when you go to Xijing some other day."

"You go back first. It would be a shame to throw away the food. I'll eat first before I leave." Zhao Yushu raised his glass and watched Li Jian leave alone.

If you have the chance, you might as well go to the Xijing Palace and chop that chair into pieces with a knife.

Zhao Yushu silently finished the table full of food and wine. If he was not a cultivator, he would have packed up the food and taken it away.

After paying the bill, Zhao Yushu found a dark corner, took out a black coat from his storage bag, put on a black face scarf, and disappeared instantly.

It's fine to just listen to the fantasies of this middle school boy Li Jian. Since I can get along well with him, it would be worthwhile to give him a word of advice so that he won't put his life in prison. The more important thing at the moment is what the relationship between the underworld and the prince is.

In the morning, I went to the Beggars' Sect's headquarters. The leader, Wang Xiu, was probably a fifth-level cultivator, but that didn't mean there weren't any masters above the fifth level there. After all, Wang Xiu was just a spokesperson. On the other hand, since it was a place that ordinary members of the sect knew about, hiding a great master would easily arouse others' suspicion, so it was likely that Wang Xiu was the top fighter there.

As for the man in black today who was of unknown depth, all the people from the underworld that Zhao Yushu had met so far were top masters, but the one he met today did not give him a sense of crisis, so he should not be stronger than himself.

If it was only Wang Xiu and the men in black today, Zhao Yushu would be confident that he could go in and out seven times, let alone if he was just observing secretly.

Thinking and running, Lao Zhao soon arrived at the Beggar Gang's manor. There was still no one guarding the gate, but Lao Zhao did not plan to enter through the main gate.

With a shadow step, Zhao Yushu appeared behind a tree in Zhuangzi Garden. He watched the two beggars yawning as they walked over. Then he gathered his spiritual power and slowly walked to the hall where he had been a guest in the morning.

The hall was dark and empty, which was not surprising. In this world, guests were entertained in the living room and plots were definitely made in the study.

The layout of the manors in this world is basically the same. The study is probably in the second courtyard. This manor is not very big, and it didn't take Zhao Yushu long to find it.

As expected, the light in the study was on. Zhao Yushu slightly activated his spiritual power and appeared on the roof in an instant.

I have to say that this black outfit is really suitable for sneaking around at night. When the hood is put on and the person lies down, there is almost no trace left in the darkness.

Although Lao Zhao didn't see much of Tanyunshou's stealing skills, his fingers were quite flexible. The dagger silently opened a small gap in the tiles and pierced through the roof, allowing a ray of light to shine through.

The leader of the Beggars' Sect, Wang Zhengzheng, was sitting alone behind his desk, looking at a pile of documents, sorting out the pages from time to time. There were already three piles of papers in front of him.

For a full half hour, Wang Xiu kept repeating this action, and occasionally even took out another piece from the already classified piles, hesitated for a moment, and put it into another category.

Zhao Yushu was very patient and lay on the roof without moving.

Hard work pays off. After waiting for more than half an hour, footsteps were heard from outside.

There was a knock on the door. Wang Xiu covered a few stacks of papers with a few books and said, "Come in."

The door opened and a man in black walked in. Zhao Yushu's eyes widened immediately. Why is it him?

Zhang Chun, the man who was almost forgotten by himself, lived a life in the underworld of Jiufeng Mountain with his brother. He should have died in the end, but he is still alive and has joined the underworld. I don't know if he was a member of the underworld before or joined later.

I forgot about the two brothers after I went to Jiufeng Mountain. Otherwise, I would have paid a friendly visit to the Zhang family in Nanyang. Maybe I could have squeezed out a few pounds of grain to send to the outside of the city.

I don’t know if his younger brother Zhang Yuan has also joined the underworld. These two brothers are really not good people.

"Well, have you decided when to start?" Wang Xiu spoke first.

"tonight."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. Remember, this is between you and me, if it gets leaked."

"I understand. You won't recognize it."

Wang Xiu nodded: "Not only will I not recognize you, I will also tie you up and hand you over to the prince with my own hands."

Zhang Chun said expressionlessly: "You can kill me directly, but after the matter is done, don't forget what you promised, otherwise, we will all die together."

Wang Xiu laughed: "I always keep my word when doing things."

Zhang Chun turned around and said, "Okay, come find me after you've made your arrangements."

The door closed, Zhao Yushu frowned. What did Wang Xiu want Zhang Chun to do? It seemed that they had to keep this a secret from the prince.

Wang Xiu returned to his desk and carefully locked two of the three stacks of papers in a small box and hid it behind the bookshelf. Then he took the last stack, turned off the lights and walked out of the study.

After Wang Xiu walked away, Zhao Yushu took a step and silently emerged from the shadow of the study.
