Xu Shu wanted to investigate Li Shang, so Liu Ke sent Hua Xiong as his bodyguard. The two of them disguised themselves and went to Xiapi.
Today, the economy in Xiapi is very depressed, and there are almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Xu Shu and Hua Xiong¡¯s identities are the Chamber of Commerce where the Cao family runs.
The people of Xiapi complained about Liu Bei's unauthorized initiation of war. Although supplies had been stockpiled long ago, their total income dropped sharply. There used to be work to do, but now there is nothing and it is deserted.
Occasionally, I can see a few vendors setting up stalls, but they are also listless. As soon as the things are moved there, the mind wanders.
"This Li Shang lives in seclusion. It may not be easy to catch his fox tail." Hua Xiong said.
Xu Shu, of course, knew that it was not easy. No matter how difficult it was, he had to do it.
In the past few days, they first asked around, but found nothing. Then he set up a stall near the official residence and waited.
"We can't go on like this. How about we sneak into the mansion and look for him?" Hua Xiong asked.
Such drastic measures may be counterproductive.
Xu Shu didn¡¯t want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Wait for two more days," Xu Shu said.
Two days passed quickly, and the two of them, who had found nothing, decided to take the risk.
At night, Hua Xiong sneaked into the mansion, but like a headless fly, he ran around and found no valuable information.
"The study is heavily guarded. I guess everything we want is in there." Hua Xiong said.
The next day, Hua Xiong continued to sneak in, and Xu Shu was outside to support him. As a result, before entering the study room, the alarm was triggered, causing a panic inside.
Fortunately, Xu Shu was alert and led Hua Xiong around a few corners and got rid of his pursuers.
"Your figure has been exposed. I will set up a stall tomorrow and you can find a hidden spot to keep an eye on me." Xu Shu said.
Hua Xiong also knew that he was being reckless, so he nodded in agreement and muttered at the end, "This Li Shang is so good at hiding."
Xu Shu had no choice. The war situation was urgent and he had no choice but to investigate slowly.
On the third day, a carriage drove out from the Li Mansion. Looking at the luxurious decoration, even if he was not the owner, he was still an honored guest. Without saying a word, Xu Shu ran up to intercept him and said, "Sir, can you give me a bowl of rice?"
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of paper filled with articles.
Xu Shu planned to show off his talents and find a job in the mansion first.
The groom did not dare to make the decision and handed the article to Li Ru in the car.
In this era, there were many poor scholars, and Xu Shu played this role.
Li Ru looked at it with a bored attitude, and found that this person was talented, so he rolled up the paper into a ball and threw it out: "Nowadays students are not good at learning, so they want to learn to be officials?"
Xu Shu was shocked. Logically speaking, if he couldn't become a high official, how could he stay as an official with swords and pens?
He refused without hesitation.
"May I ask your name?" Xu Shu said proudly.
"Don't change your name when you're down, don't change your surname when you're sitting down, that's the case with Li Shang. If you study for a few more years, you may not have a chance. Don't block the way like others, and leave quickly." Li Ru said.
What does it have to do with recruiting talents for Liu Bei?
Xu Shu, however, refused to get out of the way. There was an important person he was keeping an eye on in the car, and he quickly said: "Your Excellency, please take a look at it. The shortcomings in the article can be improved next time."
Still a fool!
Li Ru sneered in his heart. Sure enough, being able to block the road in the street is not easy to deal with. If he has a stubborn personality, he is like a cow.
So, Li Ru planned to humiliate him, got out of the car calmly, and asked a few tricky questions.
Who would have thought that Xu Shu would answer questions fluently.
Li Ru was completely surprised. This person's conversation was actually higher than the articles he wrote.
Finally, Li Ru gave in and said, "Come here tomorrow to order some mao."
" If the lord could accept talented people, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Li Ru suddenly sighed.
After saying that, Li Ru left.
Xu Shu had no reason, so he naturally did not dare to continue to block him. Through observation, he also learned that Li Shang must be a high-ranking person, and his arrogance cannot be developed overnight.
He closed the stall, but was summoned to an alley by Hua Xiong.
At this moment, Hua Xiong was sweating coldly, with a head as big as an ox, and said: "That man Li Shang?It seems to be Li Ru. "
Xu Shu¡¯s heart is filled with excitement, Li Ru? What the hell is this?
Since Dong Zhuo was defeated, Li Ru persuaded Li Jue and Guo Si to return to capture Chang'an. After the two succeeded, they never saw Li Ru again.
"Don't say such nonsense!" Xu Shu warned.
"He made some costumes. It's a bit far away and I can't see clearly, but it's really similar." Hua Xiong said.
Xu Shu was pacing back and forth. If Li Shang was Li Ru, it would be easy to explain. After all, this kind of counselors who plan for a state are rare, so how could one suddenly appear?
What's more, this is directly disturbing the general trend of the world, and its ability is self-evident.
Xu Shu was almost certain of Hua Xiong¡¯s conjecture, but he did not act rashly.
The next day, Xu Shu went to Dianmao as scheduled and was assigned a civilian position.
Xu Shu took advantage of his position and sneaked into Li Ru's study several times, but found nothing.
Sure enough, these old foxes don¡¯t leave any clues behind anything they do.
After a few days, Xu Shu simply gave up, and there was little point in staying.
But knowing Li Shang¡¯s identity can be put to good use.
First, Yuan Shao will definitely not let go of Dong Zhuo's old troops.
Second, I¡¯m afraid Liu Bei doesn¡¯t even know Li Shang¡¯s identity.
Third, Li Shang did not follow him to the front line because he was afraid of being recognized.
If there is a problem, there is room for maneuver.
Now Xu Shu has a guilty conscience and is afraid that Li Ru will find out the problem. He is not a professional thief. He has been in and out of Li Ru's study several times and always left some clues.
So, Xu Shu contacted Hua Xiong and prepared to evacuate.
"What, no more investigation?" Hua Xiong said in surprise.
"I originally wanted to find the document that Li Ru used to persuade the princes, but unfortunately it was not filed." Xu Shu sighed.
" This most direct evidence, Li Ru must have hidden it well, or simply not filed it.
As Dong Zhuo¡¯s most trusted confidant, Li Ru is not so easy to fool.
Xu Shu has been thinking about a question for a long time, that is why Gongsun Zan participated in the war.
Now that the mastermind Li Ru has been identified, Xu Shu decided to fabricate a reason that would benefit Yangzhou.
"Whether it's true or not, as long as it's thrown at Li Ru, he won't be able to pass the dialectical level.
Soon, Hua Xiong was ready to retreat. In Xiapi, Yangzhou had its own intelligence network, and Xun You handed it over to Xu Shu.
"I will search Li Ru's study thoroughly again. Regardless of whether there are any results, we will leave directly." Xu Shu said.
However, Xu Shu, who was holding on to hope, still found nothing, only some data on supplies shipped to the front line, which was of little use.
Just when Xu Shu and Hua Xiong were about to leave, Li Ru discovered some problems. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
