Chapter 588 It’s difficult to deal with things in the official residence of Futai
Li Kaiyang said: "My lord, I have something to say to you." The prince was very puzzled and didn't know what happened to him. He seemed very embarrassed, so he asked him: "You can just tell Mr. Li what happened."
Li Kaiyang glanced at the people around him. The old prince immediately understood what he was thinking and said to the people around him: "You guys go down first. I want to hear what Young Master Li has to say."
The man named Liu Yidao felt uneasy. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, is it safe without me by your side?"
The prince frowned and said, "Is Mr. Li an outsider? He has been in the house for such a long time and is very loyal to me."
Liu Yidao had no choice but to withdraw. Immediately Li Kaiyang said to the prince, "Your Majesty, I heard a story, which is the story of the eldest lady." When the prince heard this, his face changed suddenly. After he said the word "you", he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly sat down, "What are you doing?" Do you know about the lady?"
After saying this, he seemed to understand immediately, and then said, "It is true that I still have a daughter, an eldest daughter, but she has passed away."
Li Kaiyang said: "I just want to know if there is a story between him and the man named Wang Tiankai." The prince was fascinated and remembered that period of history. He sighed and said, "It's also my fault that I was too stubborn and didn't agree to their marriage."
Immediately his expression became firm again, even now I would not agree, because they simply cannot be combined. Li Kaiyang also understands the huge gap between their wealth and status, and it is difficult for such a marriage to be happy together. Therefore, Li Kaiyang also understands the prince's current mentality and situation, so it is understandable that he did what he did at the time.
What he was most concerned about was whether this Wang Tiankai and the current Futai Wang Tiankai were the same person, so he asked again, "I just want to know if this Wang Tiankai and the Futai master, I heard that he is also called Wang Tiankai, are the same person?"
After hearing this, the old prince seemed to have hit his mark. His face was extremely sad, and then he nodded in embarrassment and said, "Indeed, otherwise, why would this man named Wang Tiankai give me the advice again and again?" He was against me and even wanted to kill me, this is the reason."
Li Kaiyang breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, they were indeed the same person. It seems that the grudge between this man named Wang Tiankai and the prince is quite deep, but Li Kaiyang doesn't know how this Wang Tiankai became the man on this island. Wasn't he originally a poor boy? The prince saw what he was thinking and said to him, "You probably want to know how this Wang Tiankai became such a high-status person? Since my daughter passed away, she gave him a lot of silver jewelry, and he took it. He went around paying bribes with this thing, and later even went to the capital. He became the prime minister as his adoptive father. This boy was very good at maneuvering and maneuvering according to the situation. He soon gained the favor of the emperor. The emperor originally wanted to arrange for him to serve as an official in the capital. He just wanted to build a mansion in such a remote Yueyue Island. With the help of his adoptive father, he came to Yueyue Island as he wished. Ever since he came, he started to fight against me. At first, I didn't know that he was that boy Wang Tiankai. Later, after I met with him several times, I felt that this person's face was very familiar. After reminiscing, I remembered that it was actually the Wang Tiankai who had an affair with my daughter. Now he has status, money, and The powerful people did not take me seriously at all, made things difficult for me at every turn, and even set up such a big trap for me. I even suspected that he sent someone to steal the seal and deliberately framed me.
Li Kaiyang nodded and said: "What you said is possible, Your Majesty. It seems that Wang Tiankai is very scheming. He can be said to be unscrupulous towards the Prince."
Li Kaiyang asked again: "In that case, have you ever talked to him to make peace? Has he considered the friendship with the lady and not attacked you?" The prince pondered for a moment before saying, "I have also talked to him face to face. , but he will not let go of that grudge. He always thinks that I killed the lady, so he has buried deep hatred and insists on killing me. Now there is no conversation between us. There is no room for me to die or he will die. The situation has reached this point, so I agree that you go to his house to disrupt the situation for him. There is no other way. Your method may prevent him from thinking about going against me. In this way It relieves my stress."
After Li Kaiyang understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, he felt confident in his heart. He promised the prince: "When I go, I will do my best to serve the prince. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter smoothly for you." Beautiful and bright, the prince came over with gratitude in his eyes. He patted Li Kaiyang on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I know you are a trustworthy person. If you have any requirements or difficulties this time, just tell me." , I will definitely try my best to satisfy you. "
Li Kaiyang quickly knelt down and said to the prince: "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, and Xiao Ke will definitely repay your kindness." So Li Kaiyang bid farewell to the prince and returned to his residence. He is now waiting quietly for Zhao Dezi's reply. At home, after waiting for a few days, someone came to report this day. The prince invites you to come over. Li Kaiyang knew that the matter was done. When he saw the prince, Zhao Dezi was also beside him, and Zhao Dezi had a smile on his face. He said to Li Kaiyang, "I have already helped you with the matter that the prince asked me to do. The accountant over there said that you can go over now, but you must remember not to talk randomly after you go over. The first time I went there, I just went in through his back door. He didn’t want to be too public, and he asked you to obey the rules there. I laughed in my heart and said, if you obey any rules, I’m just here to cause trouble for you.”
The expression on the prince's face was serious, but when he heard his words, he couldn't help laughing, but he quickly stopped smiling. He felt that such a smile was inconsistent with his identity, so he turned his face away. Then he said to Li Kaiyang, "Go ahead, Mr. Li. All this success and failure of this king rests entirely on you. If you can accomplish this for me, I will reward you heavily."
Li Kaiyang was thinking about what reward I want from you. I didn't do this for you because of the reward. I just thought you were a good person and a worthy friend, so I helped you. As soon as I went I don’t know if I can succeed, but I have to try my best anyway, so he said to the prince, “Your Majesty, I may not be 100% successful, but I will definitely try my best.”
After bidding farewell to the prince, Li Kaiyang arrived at the official residence in Futai under the guidance of Zhao Dezi.
They went directly to the garden of Futai. Li Kaiyang felt that its scale was really quite big, not even smaller than the palace of the prince. It looked extremely luxurious, with rockeries and ponds, pavilions and pavilions inside, and he didn't know how much it cost.
Zhao Dezi told him, "Don't look at the gorgeous buildings he built here. They are all left by his predecessors. It has nothing to do with the current Wang Tiankai."
Li Kaiyang asked: "Where is the former mansion?" Zhao Dezi said: "I was driven away by Wang Tiankai. Now I don't know where he is. I don't think it will be better."
The two people walked along the path for a while and entered a big house. There were many people inside. A man in his forties dressed as a scholar came out. When he saw Zhao Dezi, he crossed his arms and crossed his chest. The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Dezi introduced Li Kaiyang to him.
Li Kaiyang was neither humble nor overbearing and stretched out his hand to bow to him. The accountant looked him up and down before saying, "You young man is a promising man, very good, very good. You can work with me, but you must be honest and don't cause any trouble for me." , Otherwise, not only your head will not be saved, but mine will also be unable to be saved."
Li Kaiyang acted in every situation, was obedient, and seemed very loyal and honest. After arranging for him, Zhao Dezi naturally left. Before leaving, he whispered to Li Kaiyang, "He said you can do what he wants. Why did we come? You have to understand."
After saying that, he walked away. Li Kaiyang was arranged to a place where everyone stayed. A dozen people in a room lived in Datongpu. On his first day at work, he was asked to sort out a thick stack of ledgers. This work seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated. After sorting it out for an hour, Li Kaiyang felt dizzy. He was not in the mood to make this thing for them, so he pushed it aside. I started to think about my own thoughts. I have entered their palace. If I want to cause him some trouble, I have to get close to the palace. So he asked a young man next to him. "Hey, brother, I want to meet Mr. Futai. Is there such a chance?"
The boy was copying a bill. When he heard what he said, he raised his head and stared at him for a moment before saying, "What do you want to do with the mansion? He is easily invisible, and the servants in our mansion are very well-behaved." , no one dares to leave their post casually, if you go to see him, you must be completely sure, otherwise, the slap will be in vain. "
Li Kaiyang was really shocked when he heard this. Why is he so easily beaten? Is it so difficult for the servants in the house to see him? He thought so in his heart, but said: "Yes, yes, I won't go to see him. What I mean is, I don't know if it will be easy to see him."
The boy shook his head and said. "Of course it's not easy. I've been in the mansion for three or four years and I've only met Mr. Futai once. He has a fair complexion and speaks politely. He doesn't look like a frontier official at all. The way he walks Come and be mighty and domineering. If you stand in front of him, he will have a breathtaking feeling that will make you shudder and make you want to retreat. "
Unexpectedly, this boy spoke so powerfully of him that Li Kaiyang became interested. He thought I must see him. Otherwise, how can I accomplish my task? He began to look for opportunities. It happened that on this day, the accountant asked him to help record the number for the tea set deliverer. In this way, he would have the opportunity to enter Master Futai and serve the servants closely. People didn't recognize his face when they saw him. Some people asked, "Are you new here?"
Li Kaiyang said: "Yes, I am new here. The accounting clerk asked me to come over first to help count the number of newly delivered tea sets."
Those people serve tea and water to the mansion and the ladies. These tea sets are replaced every year, and they are all expensive tea sets. The tea set hasn't arrived yet, and Li Kaiyang is waiting in the room. People there are busy. He took this opportunity to ask a little boy who was sorting books for the mansion. "Brother, let me ask. I want to see Mr. Futai, is it possible? The little boy looked at him blankly, his eyes lit up and said, "You want to see Mr. Futai, what can I do? When we servants have anything to do, we go to the housekeeper, the supervisor, and the master accountant. We are all directly managed by the housekeeper. Although we can see Mr. Futai every day and serve him, but people like you The account manager is not allowed to see him. "
Li Kaiyang also knew that it was a bit difficult to go to see Mr. Futai without permission. He wanted to break into Mr. Futai's study by himself. Looking at the soldiers guarding the study, he knew that he couldn't do it. He had no choice but to find another way. But this test also let him know that if he wanted to get close, This Lord Futai is completely different from approaching the prince. The prince is a generous man. These servants are very close to them, and it is not difficult for anyone to see the prince, but here the hierarchy is very strict, even for outsiders like them. Anyone who has not stayed in the palace for a few days is absolutely not qualified to see the master of the palace. When he does, he can only look at him from a distance. Only his guards and servants who are close to him can see him. .
Li Kaiyang asked again. "Does Mr. Futai read in the study every day?" The boy said in amusement, "Who doesn't feel suffocated in the house all day? When he is tired, he usually goes for a walk in the garden. More We are hearing a case in court. Mr. Futai has been very anxious recently. He seems to have encountered something big, so he is in a troubled mood. You'd better not go to see him. What's the matter? If there are any cases involving relatives or friends, please If it's a trial, you'd better go to the housekeeper and ask him to help clear it up. Maybe it will be successful. If you go to him rashly, I tell you it can only be the opposite. "
This boy's instructions were quite loyal. Li Kaiyang listened to it and remembered it in his heart. As soon as he heard that the prince would go around the garden every day, but he didn't know what time it was, he asked directly because he was afraid that he would be suspicious. He said in an insinuating way, "It's already so cold in the garden in late autumn. It's not a good idea for him to go to the garden."
The boy pouted and looked at Li Kaiyang and said, "Do you think Mr. Futai is a fool? He also had lunch and took advantage of the warm weather to walk around the garden. He usually sat in the pavilion. Sometimes I would listen to the maid play the pipa for him, Mr. Futai likes to play the flute, and sometimes he would play a tune himself."
After Li Kaiyang heard this information, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. I couldn't see him when I went to the study, and I couldn't even get close to his dormitory. But if he could go to the garden, I would have a chance to get in touch with him, so he was determined to give it a try. Only if I could get in touch with him could I Only by understanding more information can we know how to start and help the prince accomplish this matter.
