Sword narration is painful in the world

The next day, Hong Lingquan rode in a large sedan chair, cheering in front and crowding behind him, sounding gongs to clear the way, and headed straight to the Xianqin Hou Mansion.

As expected, the people along the street were whispering to each other. The sedan walked to the center of the cross street and then turned west. The one facing south was Yu Wuyang's Hou Mansion.

Hong Lingquan gently tapped the bottom of the sedan with the sole of his shoe, and the sedan stopped.

Coming out of the sedan, Hong Lingquan stood on the street leaning on the pole of the sedan. He saw that there were many people buying and selling on the street, including men, women, old and young.

Why are there so many people on the street?

Ever since Hong Lingquan came and confessed his son with blood, those among the common people who had a grudge against Yu Wuyang had pinned all their hopes of revenge on Hong Lingquan.

Some of these people have already written complaints, some are timid and want to wait for the limelight, and some people have no grudge against Yu Wuyang, but they know that Yu Wuyang has done many evil things, and they hate him very much.

This time Master Hong came. People said that he was the Jade Bread Master and had high hopes for him.

But unexpectedly, it was suddenly said that Mr. Hong was going to visit the prince, and the prince was going to entertain Mr. Hong with a banquet, and the two of them were going to become brothers.

It turns out that Honglingquan was built so that high-ranking officials could sit and ride horses, so that the water in Huai'an Prefecture could pass through the feet, and Honglingquan could flow smoothly.

After hearing these legends, the people didn't know whether they were true or false, so they went to the streets today to see what happened.

The reason why Xian Qinhou did this was because he listened to the idea given by the popular man in front of him, the man named Shen Pingping.

This Shen Gongping, nicknamed Little Zhuge, was originally just a fortune teller. He was surrounded by four walls and blocked the wind from all directions. No matter what you said, he was justified.

For example, he once said, "Two parents cannot be hurt by one."

If he asks you: "Are your parents here?"

If you say: "My parents are both here."

So, he will say:

"Look, I'm right, right? We have two parents. We can't overcome each other, and neither one is missing."

If you say: "My father is gone, only my mother is left."

He will say again:

"Look, I'm right, right? If you have two parents, you can't be injured by one of them. You can't both die, only one of them."

If his parents were gone, he added:

"Both parents can't overcome each other's injuries, that is to say, both of them will die, and one cannot be left alive."

Shen Gongping was born in this business. With his deceitful tricks and eloquent sophistry, he gained the extreme trust of Yu Wuyang, the prominent prince, who called him the best man in the world.

Yu Wuyang entertained Hong Lingchen at a banquet and spread rumors among the people. These ideas were all Mr. Shen's ideas.

Not only that, Shen Gongping also set a trap for Hong Lingquan, and he gave the prince a plan:

If Hong Lingquan comes and says that he can cooperate with Mr. Marquis and get closer to you from now on, if we let him live well on the surface, he will also have to live well with us.

If he still fights against Nan Batian and the housekeeper as he did the day he first arrived, then we will put him to death in the Marquis Mansion today, and then write a memorial to the 9,000-year-old Eunuch Liu, saying that he has evil intentions and is intentional. Assassination of the Marquis, Marquis, you are self-defense, killing him is in vain.

Yu Wuyang obeyed Zhuge Shenping's advice, so he acted according to the plan and sent his subordinates to spread the rumors first, with the purpose of forcing Hong Ling to submit.

Let us say that Hong Lingquan came out of the sedan chair, stood on the street, looked at the people on both sides of the street, smiled slightly, and then said to everyone:

"Since I took office, I am sorry to all my fellow villagers. Some of the cases we have accepted are still under investigation and there is no result yet. I feel deeply sorry for everyone. Today, the Marquis invited me to come to the mansion. The folks are probably a little bit worried. Don’t worry, let me make it clear to everyone now that I am going to the mansion firstly to visit out of courtesy, and secondly to listen, take a look and check. I have now received twenty-eight papers accusing Yu Wuyang. , if it is found to be true, I, Hong Lingquan, will vouch for it with my own head. The prince has committed the same crime as the common people, and I will act in accordance with the law. If I have engaged in malpractice, corruption and perversion of the law for personal gain, you can take off my hat. This time I enter The name of the Marquis Mansion is legitimate, half is public and half is private, please rest assured and wait for the good news."

After hearing this, the messengers thought that Mr. Hong was so powerful. The Marquis invited him to a banquet. He wanted to eat, but also to clean up. He wanted to take the stolen goods and not betray the law. There is no such thing in the world.

So some shook their heads and some curled their lips.

Among the people on the street, some whispered:

Humph, just put rouge on your face, and if someone sues you, just report it. If you go to someone's house to eat and have to be questioned, how can this happen?

Someone also said quietly:

"It's not that easy for ordinary people to sue an official. If a magistrate is to pass on a marquis, there must be considerable evidence. He is a fourth-rank official passing on someone else's marquis. If the marquis doesn't go to show his relatives, he can only stare blankly and there is nothing he can do to stop him."

"Oh, who cares, how did we survive in the past? Officials were good, we suffered less, and officials were bad, we suffered more. If we couldn't stay any longer, we hurriedly moved our wives and children. The common people couldn't care about it anyway. official."

For a time, the people on the street had all kinds of things to say, but Hong Lingquan ignored them.

He had already estimated that what he just said would soon reach Yu Wuyang's ears, and he also estimated that if Yu Wuyang couldn't hold him back, he would definitely take some action.

However, this was exactly what Hong Chenchen wanted.

Hong Lingquan thought:

If you can't pull me, I won't be afraid if you take action against me. I am a fourth-grade official of the imperial court. If you want to do something poisonous to me, I have Leng Fengye and Song Yu escorting me now, just in time to seize evidence of your crime. This way , I can take you to the lobby for interrogation.

As Hong Lingquan expected, before he could get on the sedan again, someone reported what he said on the street to Xianqinhou Yu Wuyang, and reminded him to be more careful.

When Hong Lingquan came to the Hou Mansion, he saw that the prince personally greeted him outside the house.

This is definitely a very high courtesy for Hong Lingquan. As the saying goes, there is a three-foot forbidden area in front of the prince's palace. Ordinary people are not allowed to walk from here, otherwise their legs will be broken.

But today is an exception, anyone can come. This was also Xiao Zhuge and Shen Ping's idea. The purpose was to let the people see how close Yu Wuyang and Hong Chenchen were.

I saw Yu Wuyang coming over and walking hand in hand with Hong Lingquan towards the living room. According to his status, Hong Lingquan was not qualified. He was a prince, uncle and baron. The next level up from a marquis, he would be a prince.

Hong Lingquan is only a fourth-grade prefect. In front of others, he is definitely just a small official as big as a sesame seed. His rank is much worse. The first level of officialdom is overwhelming.

If Hong Lingquan wanted to sit in the Yamen and deliver the message to someone else, they would throw out the person he sent to deliver the message, but you would have no idea.

Otherwise, if someone catches your men and says that you have ulterior motives and wants to assassinate the Marquis, killing you will be in vain.

This is what Hong Lingquan is worried about. His official position is too small and Yu Wuyang's official position is too high, so he can only make this move.

Hong Lingquan followed Yu Wuyang to the magnificent living room, and Leng Lili and Song Yu followed closely.

When Xiao Zhuge saw Leng Fengye and Song Yu protecting him like this, he wanted them to go to another room, but these two people pretended not to hear and were even more cautious.
