Chapter 484: Connection [Ask for monthly tickets! ]

"Li Huchan?"

Hearing this name, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel a little confused.

As the younger brother of Li Longchan, the imperial teacher, Li Huchan has always been considered a staunch royalist. After all, the two brothers did not come from any cliques, and the only thing they could rely on was the emperor's trust.

However, the Khe Sanh Society was clearly anti-imperial, and the goal of this organization was to seize power from the emperor.

There should be a natural conflict between the two positions.

Could it be that Li Huchan and his elder brother are not of the same mind?

Or is there some shady deal going on here?

Liang Fuguo seemed to see Liang Yue's doubts and explained directly: "Back then, the Dragon and Tiger Hall had an unstable foothold in the Divine Capital. Many ministers opposed the two brothers and thought that His Majesty was deceived by evil and heretics in favoring them. The Xishan Society had just experienced a purge at that time and turned from open to secret. Maybe they promised something to Li Huchan, or maybe Li Huchan didn't even know who he was trading with... All this will only be known after verification."

Liang Yue scratched his head and said, "But Li Huchan is a great general of the dynasty. It's unlikely that he would be arrested for this matter, right? How can I check it?"

It was difficult to judge whether the pursuit was relaxed. If the force was slightly slowed down, who would know if it was intentional? There were too many factors that could delay the march of tens of thousands of troops, and many years had passed.

If it weren't for the confession of Nangong Lian from the Yihuo Sect, perhaps no one would ever know what Li Huchan did.

Unless you ask Li Huchan in person, it would be difficult to get a definite answer.

But even if you asked, Li Huchan could still deny it and say that it was Nangong Lian's frame-up in order to alienate the military generals.

It can be said that this matter is naturally difficult to handle.

"Don't worry." Liang Fuguo said, "A while ago, a disciple of Dragon and Tiger Hall was caught by the Ministry of Justice with evidence of murder for Li Longchan. If this matter were to be exposed, he knew that he would definitely be thrown out by Li Longchan to save his own. So after a private conversation, he agreed to serve as an informant for me in Dragon and Tiger Hall to collect intelligence."

"Regarding this matter, I have already sent a message in advance asking him to look for relevant clues. You can meet him tomorrow to see if there is any other gain." Liang Fuguo said.

"Dragon Tiger Hall's direct disciple?" Liang Yue asked, "Which one?"

There are many disciples in Longhu Hall, but it seems that there are only three direct disciples: Du Jian, Lei Zhen, and Liu Deng'er.

The three of them have always been the vanguard of Li Longchan's fight against the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Extermination of Evil.

Who would join the Ministry of Justice, which has always been their mortal enemy?

However, Longhu Hall is indeed not what it used to be. If it were a year ago, what would have happened even if they had caught evidence of Li Longchan's disciples' crimes?

He has countless ways to save people.

After the two incidents of the Tower of Babel and the incense before the Buddha, the emperor no longer relied on Li Longchan as much as before. It is said that Li Longchan has not entered the palace to see the emperor for a long time.

As the imperial teacher, he had no reason to attend court, which was tantamount to being isolated from the emperor's circle.

Perhaps even his closest disciples were discouraged about the future of Dragon Tiger Hall. As for the character of Master Li Longchan, they themselves had nothing to trust.

How can a person who practices Zen of the self-centeredness be a good person?
Just vote for Liang Fuguo.

Liang Fuguo said: "He doesn't want to reveal his identity, so you don't have to ask too much. Just receive his information tomorrow."

...At noon the next day, Liang Yue came to the bustling West Market.

The market was full of people, and Liang Yue was wearing a plain cloth and walking among them, and no one would recognize him. He walked into a restaurant as if he was strolling around. The restaurant was full of small private rooms separated by screens. The space was not large and looked very private.

Liang Yue sat in the third private room on the left and began to wait quietly. In a moment, a black shadow flashed out.

The black figure was extremely tall and thin, wearing a black robe, a hood covering his head, and a special black cloth mask, looking very mysterious. After sitting down, he first said to the secret code: "A cloud in the northwest sky."

"The Left Prime Minister is extremely wise." Liang Yue covered his face with his hands and continued.

The code was indeed somewhat embarrassing, but the good thing was that if it wasn't for the contact person himself, no one would be able to figure it out in their lifetime.

This certainly could not have been decided by Liang Fuguo, but rather it was decided by the undercover agent on the opposite side in order to please Liang Fuguo.

It can be seen that the desire to do good is particularly strong.

"Are you a colleague sent by the Left Prime Minister?" The man in black robe nodded and said, "Nice to meet you."

Liang Yue looked at the other person in confusion, "Du Jian, haven't you seen me before?"

"Shut up!" The man in black robe suddenly became extremely panicked.

He growled and looked around. No one should have noticed what was happening in their private room. He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice, "How did you know it was me?"

"You're so tall and thin, like a bamboo pole that has turned into a spirit. I can tell it's you even from miles away. What's the point of just wearing a mask?" Liang Yue couldn't help laughing.

"Hey." Du Jian seemed a little frustrated. He sighed heavily and said, "No wonder everyone says you are extremely smart. You can see through my disguise. Fortunately, you are the only one who can guess it..."

"Master Du?" As he was speaking, a head popped out from the side. It was a middle-aged, wealthy man who looked like a businessman. He should be the owner of this place.

The shopkeeper poked his head into their private room and smiled, "It's you, of course. I just saw a tall, dark figure coming in, and I guessed it was you. Why didn't you tell me? I'll treat you to dinner today..."

"Okay, okay..." Du Jian responded with two grumbles and quickly pushed the man out, while also reminding him, "I am meeting a friend here, please keep it a secret."

After sitting back down, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I came here before to meet someone, so maybe he remembered me. Fortunately, I am sitting here safely, so I don't think I will..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone downstairs shouting, "Big Brother? Is that you?"

On the street, a young man in monk robes looked at the shadow coming through the tightly closed window on the second floor. He called out for a long time but no one answered. He couldn't help but wonder, "Strange, this shadow clearly looks like the eldest brother?"

Du Jian almost crawled under the table. He said with tears in his eyes, "Do I really look so eye-catching?"

Liang Yue nodded silently.

With such representative body shapes like Du Jian and Pang Chun, let alone wearing black robes and masks, you would take up more space than others even if you were put in a box.

"Okay, Brother Du." After a while, Liang Yue called again, "It should be safe now, let's talk business."

Du Jian then raised his head and said, "I know some clues about what Lord Zuo Xiang told me to do, but I don't know if they are useful."
