Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

It was getting dark, and Cen Mingche and his two disciples returned to the boat, taking the dripping guy with them.

This guy had already put on clean and fresh clothes, bandaged his wounds, and looked at Cen Mingche as if he were looking at the savior.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on?"

As soon as Cen Mingche said these words, the man knelt down again, and his tears seemed to be incontinent again.

"Please, Your Highness, make the decision for our family!"

According to what this person said, it turned out that this person was the housekeeper of Zhai Dong, the current prefect of Suzhou. He had grown up together and was very loyal.

Zhai Dong also came from a wealthy family. Since he became the prefect of Suzhou, he has enforced the law fairly and fairly.This made the Zhen family very dissatisfied and they repeatedly opposed Zhai Dong.

Zhai Dong was young and had a bad temper, so he secretly collected evidence of the Zhen family's crimes and prepared to seize the right opportunity to bring down the Zhen family.

Unexpectedly, the Zhen family acted first and sent someone to poison Zhai Dong.Zhai Dong took medicine for a few days, but still couldn't help, so he asked his housekeeper to bring the evidence to His Highness the Third Prince, who was about to come on a tour.

Zhai Dong did this because he wanted to avenge himself.

Cen Mingche heard this and was speechless.

After all, it is just a family statement, which is not worthy of trust.Who knows whether Zhai Dong is angry and goes against the Zhen family, or whether the two parties are colluding and have a falling out and want revenge?

It's better to wait until we get to the place and conduct careful investigation to find out the truth.

The boat traveled very quickly and arrived in Yangzhou in just a few days.

It is a beautiful scenery in spring. Yangzhou flowers are blooming for ten miles, and it is really a beautiful scenery.

The street was crowded with tourists, and the daughter's house in bright clothes came and went, covering their faces with fans and smiling brightly.

"Yangzhou is such a good place."

Taking a gentle breath of the floral-scented breeze, Cen Mingche waved his folding fan and set foot on the land of Yangzhou with two disciples.

"After the rain, the cicadas are noisy, and the pines and osmanthus are fluttering in the air. The steps are covered with moss, so the white birds stay late. The deep trees grow in the evening mist, and the small buildings under the setting sun. Who would have known that Zhuxi Road, where the songs are played, is Yangzhou."

Yangzhou is really beautiful.

"Your Highness, the Zenzhi Temple in Yangzhou has a quiet scenery, and the monks in the temple are good at vegetarian food. Why don't you go there and have some fun?"

"Very good."

Chanzhi Temple, also known as Shangfang Chanzhi Temple, Shangfang Temple, also known as Zhuxi Temple, is located in the north of Yueming Bridge outside the east gate of Yangzhou. It was originally a Sui palace and was later rebuilt into a temple.

It is spring, and the peony garden in Chanzhi Temple is in full bloom, with pink, white, purple and red flowers, and a patch of tea leaves.

There were also men and women traveling together, some princes and grandsons traveling with prostitutes, some Xiaojia Biyu meeting each other, or a few scholars meeting each other for sightseeing. There was the sound of strings and bamboos, laughter and laughter, and it was very lively.

The sun was shining brightly and the scenery was spectacular.

"Go and donate some sesame oil money, and stay for a vegetarian meal at noon."

"As ordered."

Even though this is a Buddhist temple, the monks also care about money. With a donation of 200 taels of sesame oil, Cen Mingche and the others were immediately treated as honored guests.

The young novice took them to a separate room.

The wing room has a table and a couch, which means you can take a lunch break here after dinner.

The vegetarian meal served by Zenzhi Temple consists of eight dishes and two soups.The dishes are bergamot bamboo shoots, merit golden legs, Luohanzhai, Bazhenhehe, silver straw mushrooms, suitcase tofu, jade balls, vegetarian fried crab powder; the soups are bamboo sheng and golden needle soup, double lotus lily and longan soup.

The meal was ordinary white rice, and a plate of mung bean cake was served after the meal.

While he was using it, Cen Mingche suddenly heard the familiar voice next door.

In fact, the soundproofing of this wing is very good, but Cen Mingche's hearing is extraordinary, and he still heard the sounds next door clearly.

"The Zhen family is simply bullying others! His family is in a state of trembling now, and has fallen below the bottom line of a noble family!"

"What Dong Weng said is exactly what he said. The Zhen family is so lawless that they actually dared to poison the imperial official. It seems that there is another noble concubine in the palace, and Jane is still in the emperor's heart."

"Haha, Jane is in the Emperor's heart? If His Majesty gives the daughter of the Zhen family to any prince, then it will be called Jane in the Emperor's heart!"

"Exactly, if Your Majesty gives the daughter of the Zhen family to the prince, it will be a sign of support, and it will also ensure the honor and favor of the Zhen family for a generation. However, now that Concubine Zhen is pregnant, there are two different things."

"Mr. Zheng, you are wrong. Even if the daughter of the Zhen family is pregnant now, she still doesn't know if she can give birth; even if she does give birth, she doesn't know whether it is a boy or a girl; even if she is a prince... Your Majesty is already mature now. .”

"Ha, yes, this grandson, I really don't know if he is a life-saving treasure or a life-saving Yama."

Cen Mingche smiled and motioned Lu Xiangyang to go next door to report.

"It's just that we are destined to meet old friends. Why don't we come over and talk about it."

"Yes."

Not long after, Lin Ruhai walked in the door first and was surprised when she saw Cen Mingche.

"Why is the Third Highness here? I just received the report from the palace that the official ship is still there..."

Then Lin Ruhai smiled.

"Yes, His Highness the Third Prince must not want others to know that he is here. It is because the old minister made a mistake."

Cen Mingche stood up, pointed to the seat next to him, and said with a smile: "It is fate to meet Master Lin here. How about sitting down and eating something together?"

"Old minister, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."

After the five flavors of the dish had passed, Cen Mingche asked tentatively.

"Mr. Lin's ancestral home is Suzhou, and now he is serving as the magistrate of Yangzhou. How does this Zhen family... look like?"

"Oh?"

Cen Mingche smiled.

"I won't hide it from Mr. Lin. I really encountered something interesting when I came here."

As he spoke, he recounted what happened on the boat.

Lin Ruhai sighed after hearing this.

"Your Highness, to be honest, the Zhen family is now acting unscrupulously and is at the height of its power in the Jiangnan area. Not to mention poisoning the Suzhou magistrate, they also want to kill the old ministers."

"Huh? What?"

Lin Ruhai sneered.

"Zhai Dong, the prefect of Suzhou, only enforced the law impartially, so he made the Zhen family hold a grudge and poisoned him. What's more, the old minister was appointed as the salt inspector, but he actually blocked their way of making money."

"To be honest, Your Highness, Zhuo Jing passed away two months ago. The reason he told the world was that he died of a sudden illness. In fact..."

Lin Ruhai had tears in her eyes.

"It was the Zhen family who poisoned me and wanted to kill me, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I let my wife stop this disaster for me!"

This... is really the most high-end political struggle but using the simplest fighting method.

There is no labeling or anything, let alone what is right and proper, but direct poisoning and assassination, I will kill you!

Is it so arrogant? !

Thinking of this, Cen Mingche could only comfort him softly: "Mr. Lin, this person has passed away. Please express my condolences."

"Master Lin, I came here with the secret decree of my father. I want to strictly investigate the illegal activities of the Zhen family in Jiangnan. In the future, I will report to heaven and your Majesty will be severely punished."

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Even so, the Zhen family is so prosperous now, how difficult is it to find evidence? If it is just a small crime that competes with the people for profit, I am afraid that the Zhen family will not be brought down."

"Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"
