Chapter 503: Nine Sons Seize the Heir (Part 1)
This homing pigeon flew from the sky, circled around Ah-Dai’s yard a few times, and then landed on the roof.
Liang Yan raised his hand when he saw this, and the carrier pigeon seemed to have received an order and flew to his side.
There was a note tied to the pigeon's foot. Liang Yan took it off and took a look and found that it was the secret message sent to him by "One Ear" of the Iron Bar Gang.
In fact, Liang Yan acted cautiously, and his secret dealings with the Iron Bar Gang were mainly unilateral. On weekdays, he is the only one who takes the initiative to hand over tasks or collect information, but he does not allow One Ear and others to contact him without permission.
After all, these people are ordinary mortals. Although they have martial arts skills, if they meet a monk who is interested, they will inevitably be followed and follow the clues to find out their whereabouts.
As for the Tai Sui Gang, Ah Dai has always been in charge. Except for Li Xiong, no one in the gang knew that Liang Yan, the mastermind behind the scenes, existed.
If the Iron Bar Gang encounters an urgent matter and wants to send a message to Liang Yan, they must first send a carrier pigeon to deliver the message to Ah-Dai, who will then send the message to him through the array.
On the piece of paper in Liang Yan's hand at this time, there were only three small words written on it: "Identified!"
"It seems that the Iron Bar Gang is doing things efficiently. , I thought it would take at least five or six days, but I didn't expect that it was already found out just two days later." Liang Yan thought in his heart, while using a slight force in his hand, he crushed the note into pieces.
He glanced at the two people who were drinking, clasped his hands and said, "You two are drinking slowly here. Tang has something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ah-Dai knew that he must have something important to do, so he didn't care. No words, just a slight nod. Qi Wu Di was a little disappointed, and muttered: "I know, I know, you kid is really disappointing!"
Liang Yan smiled slightly, stopped talking to this person, and swayed directly, The person had already jumped out of the yard.
He took advantage of the night to use his escape technique, and in a short time he sneaked into the Iron Bar Gang's lair. In the same secret room, "One Ear" was sitting at the table and saw Liang Yan He suddenly appeared, and without much panic, he stood up and saluted him.
Liang Yan nodded, indicating that he did not need to be polite, and then asked: "What did you find?"
"One Ear" replied: "Mr. Tang may not believe it, but Ji Shengrong, now known as Li Yi, is actually one of the eighteen Confucian scholars selected for this 'Tea Tasting Party'."
"Oh. ?" Liang Yan was slightly surprised. When he recalled the people he had seen in the Imperial Courtyard before, he realized that except for Ye Qing, everyone was ordinary and there was no cultivator at all.
“Could it be that he also ate the ‘Turtle Breath Pill’?”
The more Liang Yan thought about it, the more likely it became that Meng Deyi was able to sneak into the Miao Mansion under his nose before, relying on such a pill." "Turtle Breath Pill", but this pill also has side effects, that is, it cannot operate spiritual power after taking it. Once any spell is used, the potency of the pill will be lost, thus exposing oneself.
Liang Yan gradually became interested, and he used his eyes to signal the "one ear" to continue speaking.
"One Ear" paused, and then said: "Based on our investigations over the past two days, we found that Ji Shengrong has been walking alone since he entered the capital. There are not many suspicious signs, and he has not dealt with any forces. If If there is anything suspicious, it is that this person always goes to the Full Moon Building in Zhuque District every now and then. "Have a drink."
"Manyuelou? This is a good place. It is said that this restaurant is surprisingly large and the dishes there are unique. It is the first choice for many businessmen to entertain guests after they come to Beijing." I remember that the short and fat foreigner Zhao, whom he met in the caravan, liked to come to this restaurant to entertain others. "Hey, Man Yue Tower is indeed a place that everyone likes to go to, but Mr. Tang doesn't know something. The actual controller behind it is the 'Eight Gods Sect', one of the four major gangs in the capital!"
"Eight Gods Cult" Liang Yan thought to himself after hearing this He said: "Is that person like me, reaching out to the gangs in the capital?"
Seeing Liang Yan's silence, "One Ear" continued: "Actually, there is another layer of relationship behind this. , but I’m not sure yet.”
Liang Yan frowned slightly and shouted: "You have any guesses, but it doesn't matter."
"One Ear" nodded and said: "Based on the fragmentary information I have collected in the past, this 'Eight Gods Sect' 'It seems that it has something to do with the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion. Although there is no real evidence for this matter, judging from the clues in the past, it is probably possible. There is a 70% certainty.”
“It is actually related to the royal family in the capital.”
Liang Yan learned from Hu Sanniang’s memory that day that the Fei Luan Demon Lord was there this time. The purpose of entering the palace is to seize the "Prince Cheng's Secret Treasure" in the palace, but if this is really the case, why bother with these fourteen princes?
He thought for a while and then asked: "What kind of person are these fourteenth princes?"
"One Ear" chuckled and said: "The Fourteenth Prince Liu Yang and the Thirteenth Prince Liu Han are both well-known playboys in the capital. They spend their days drinking and doing mischief, and few people dare to contradict them. "
After hearing this, Liang Yan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right? How could the person who was secretly investigating be related to him?"
"One Ear" thought for a while and said: "Although Liu Yang and Liu Han are both young princes under the age of fifteen, they still have one. The higher level of identity means that these two people are members of the "Jiu Ye Party". "What is this?" Liang Yan asked curiously.
"One Ear" smiled slightly and said: "Sir, please sit down. This matter involves the general trend of the capital. Please allow me to explain it to you in detail."
Liang Yan nodded and sat down in front of the desk. At this time, he saw "One Ear" spread out a piece of rice paper in front of him and said slowly: "The Liu family of the Yue Kingdom has controlled the government for thousands of years. Although there were occasional There have been twists and turns, but the regime has been stable. Today, Liu Yuan, the emperor of the Liu family, has experienced a hundred The twenty-seventh generation of emperor."
"Liu Yuan fought in the army all his life and pushed the power of Yue to the top, but he is now old and has little time left, although he still wants to pass this time. The 'Qingtian Shuanghui' seeks longevity from heaven, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just wishful thinking. Who among the mortals in this world can escape the iron law of birth, old age, illness and death? "Therefore, the undercurrents in the capital in the past two years are all about the struggle for the next throne!" Of the five heirs, the second, eighth, eleventh and fifteenth are all royal daughters. The remaining eleven are all princes. Among these eleven princes, it is said that the ten princes died young at birth, so there are only ten princes left."
Liang Yanjian" "One Ear" had a calm expression and spoke eloquently without saying anything to interrupt, just sitting quietly and listening.
"I heard that the twelfth prince Liu Zihan likes to do business. He has secretly traveled around the country and established many foundations over the years. However, there are rumors that he is suffering from cold poison and has no more than a few years to live. Therefore, although this person He has been smart since childhood, but he is not on the list of candidates for the next throne. ”
After Yi Er said this, he paused slightly and continued: "As for the remaining nine princes, they are all involved in the fight for the throne. Over the years, it is no longer a secret that they have formed parties for personal gain. Not only the ministers of the court but also the central ministers Take sides one after another , even people like me and other gangsters in the market are participating. This is what everyone secretly calls 'nine sons to seize the legitimate son'!"
