fierce fox

If he got the news but still couldn't give any reply, then in his opinion, it must be my Dawei's doing.At that time, there is no need to wait for the ministers to speak more, and he himself will make every effort to avenge his son. "

"If they lose patience and wait for us to find out by ourselves and start a war, we Da Wei will of course accompany us to the end." Mo Hong said.

Mo Li didn't want to listen to other words, and he didn't want to understand. He only heard Mo Hong's last sentence, his eyes lit up, and he came alive.

"If you dear friends hear any news about this matter, please let me know as soon as possible, so that you can make plans early."

It's also strange that Mo Hong didn't give any more orders on this matter today, but just asked them to pay more attention to the surrounding situation and let them go back home, as if they were not in a hurry about this matter, which is really unpredictable.

At this moment in the General's Mansion, those two noisy people who almost knocked off the roof yesterday won the battle in the end. It was Lin Xu who was exhausted and fell asleep after a disagreement.

Lin Huaiyi, who was so angry that sparks had already been rubbed off, ran out and poured himself three cups of cold water before he managed to calm down.

On the way back to the mansion, Mo Yunji thought of Lin Huaiyi. After all, he had left him for so long, and his anger had long since dissipated, so he deliberately went to the market to buy some dishes and planned to send them to the general's mansion.

As a result, until he came, the two people in the general's mansion hadn't gotten up yet.

The fourth prince arrived, and the patrolling officers and soldiers outside did not dare to stop him, so Mo Yunji just entered the general's mansion.

Then he saw the most thunderous scene he had ever seen in his life.

He saw Lin Huaiyi, the son of a bitch, running out of the side room where Lin Xu lived in disheveled clothes. There seemed to be deep and shallow marks on his neck, and his face was full of... a sense of fullness that he couldn't bear to look at.

When Lin Huaiyi saw Mo Yunji standing in a daze in the yard, he said "Oops", covered himself and ran quickly to his room, and when he came out, he had already changed into his decent clothes.

This made Mo Yunji very angry. He put down the food beside him, disregarding his noble status as a prince, picked up the feather duster on the side, and greeted Lin Huaiyi.

"Earlier I said why you were so active in asking Mr. Lin to move to your ghost mansion where there are not many people, and I said why you waited for Mr. Lin to come, and even sent the servants to Lingqu!

I really believed your nonsense and thought you knew how to take care of people. Is this how you take care of people?What are you pretending to be all day long?What are you thinking about?Today I must teach you for your adoptive father. "

Mo Yunji was so angry that he brushed off a lot of chicken feathers on the feather duster. If someone passed by the general's mansion at this time, they might really hear the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping inside.

The officers and soldiers patrolling outside heard the movement and rushed in to see what happened. They saw that the fourth prince, who was usually polite, thoughtful and kind-hearted, was chasing and beating King Yucheng with a livid face. Chicken feathers fell from the beating.

But King Yucheng neither fought back nor retaliated as if he was wronged, and became a panicked mouse running around.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers retreated back and closed the door again.

At this time, Lin Xu also heard the sound outside.

As soon as he saw Lin Xu, Mo Yunji's fire ignited even more.

Lin Xu has become thin again so far, standing pale and feeble in front of the gate, his lips are bloodless except for the red and swollen areas, his whole face is darkened except for his eyebrows and eyes, and he looks like he can't even stand. Some were unsteady, and the whole person seemed to be trembling slightly.

Although Mo Yunji said that he has never been in contact with such things in the legend, he has heard of them, especially that Gongsun Ying who can't stop talking often talks about such things/things.

But after all, the frontier is desolate, the military life is miserable, and the comrades in arms have come back from the bloody field after a near death. It is reasonable to say that such an environment breeds some strange emotions. He is not a completely pedantic person, so he can understand it naturally.

But this Lin Huaiyi, since he was a child, was rich and well-clothed, self-willed and reckless. Where did he come from such a miserable experience? This person is tired of hanging out with women for a long time, and now he wants to change his taste!

Coupled with Lin Xu's suffering, Mo Yunji really wanted to lift Lin Huaiyi upside down and pour out the water in his mind.

"This is my aunt's prince! Do you want to be a son-in-law?" He yelled the most angry words in his life at Lin Huaiyi.

☆、Chapter 50

Lin Xu, who wanted to persuade the fight, was suddenly struck by thunder.It turned out that in the eyes of others, he was actually...

Lin Huaiyi suffered a lot of beatings during the pause of his steps.

But after hearing this, Lin Huaiyi felt that the fourth prince was still on his side, so he willingly touched the feather duster, except that the hair fell a little more, and it didn't hurt.

He winked at Lin Xu and made mouth movements while running, even if Lin Xu was blind, he could know what he was trying to say.

"Be a consort."

Now recalling the triumphant words of the prince yesterday, and the embarrassing deeds that he was almost succeeded until he finally had to pretend to be asleep, the black face turned back to the room and closed the door.

I can't kill you.

Mo Yunji really didn't know how much energy was contained in the sentence he said casually, and how much interest was involved.He saw that Lin Xu went back to the room not very happy, and he suddenly thought to himself in a daze: "Could it be that I beat Yi Yi in front of him, Mr. Lin is not happy?"

Oops, what can be done.

Mo Yunji had no choice but to put away the poor lint duster in his hand first, and said no more words of reprimand for a while.

After all, the few words he knew had been read to Lin Huaiyi since he was a child, but he did not read him as a serious person, and this happened today.

Seeing that Ah Yi is so familiar with the road, I don't know where it started.

He couldn't help feeling tight in his chest.

Well, a aunt prince came to Beijing to be a hostage. He didn't know that being bullied or being assassinated, well, now those external dangers were almost eliminated, and the case was settled faster than the cleaning. Unexpectedly, Lin Huaiyi actually I became jealous.

He heard that the Western Regions are all extremely loyal people, just like the aunt king and queen, who have a deep love for their husbands and wives all their lives and never have other wives and concubines.But it looks like Ah Yi is promiscuous everywhere, if Mr. Lin finds out, can he pay it back?

As for that Xiao Cui... why don't you give her some money and let her go, so as not to cause further discord between the two of them.

Training, training, beating, beating, he was still habitually worried about Lin Huaiyi in front of this important matter, and his movements gradually eased while thinking about it.

Lin Huaiyi felt that the feather duster falling on his body became less and less distracted, and knew that Mo Yunji was thinking of going to other distant places again, so he snatched the bald club with a playful smile, and opened it with the food Mo Yunji brought. After sniffing, he sincerely praised the fragrant beggar chicken, "It smells so good."

"Go and ask Mr. Lin to come out to eat, don't just keep smelling yourself." Mo Yunji pushed him.

Lin Huaiyi responded, and just took a step towards Lin Xu's room. After thinking about it, he found some clear water to wet his messy and uncombed hair in the chasing and chasing just now, and took a bronze mirror to take a look. , flicked off the chicken feathers on the robe, and then knocked on the door contentedly.

Mo Yunji: ...

After Lin Xu came out, she looked at Mo Yunji with embarrassment, and always felt that she was seeing her mother's family.

Mo Yunji didn't say anything, he beckoned to Lin Xu gently and said, "Young Master Lin, come and try the beggar's chicken at Shannan Restaurant. It's very famous, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot." Hand it over to Lin Xu.

I don't know if the four princes have always been so caring and caring, or they are the only ones who are so patient with Lin Xu on this special day. Lin Xu even felt that Mo Yunji looked at him with... kindness?

This sudden elder love made him feel a little bit on pins and needles, he couldn't calm down to eat with a bowl in his hand.

Lin Xu's unnaturalness became another "self-evident" scene in Mo Yunji's eyes.

He looked at the innocent Lin Huaiyi sadly: "Ah Yi, go find a soft cushion."

Lin Huaiyi didn't understand what he meant at first, and stood up in a daze. It wasn't until Lin Xu's face turned from red to purple that he suddenly realized it.

"Hey, come on."

How could he clarify such a thing that could be taken advantage of, and hurriedly followed Mo Yunji's words happily to get the soft cushion.

Lin Xu was embarrassed, and when he was about to speak, his mouth was blocked by Mo Yunji's chopsticks of glutinous rice and taro.

"Mr. Lin, try this taro, it's also his family's specialty. It's fragrant and waxy. Ah Yi likes it too."

……

Lin Xu couldn't laugh or cry during this meal.

Fortunately, Mo Yunji didn't ask any more questions except for his caring.

"Self-restraint and return to courtesy" has always been his principle of doing things.

He shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.

After the two of them had finished their food, he began to talk to them about what the emperor said in the imperial study today.

"The emperor should also agree with King Wensu's idea of ​​secretly asking us for help. For King Wensu, if Wei really has no intention of disturbing the current situation, he will check it out and give him an explanation. If there is no evidence, or If he doesn't bother to go through the whole thing again and investigate from top to bottom, then he naturally has a reason to use the army."

At that time, he could use the name of the teacher of benevolence and righteousness to fight against the great Wei.

"That's right," Mo Yunji said, "It's just that I'm worried that if we can't find anything, what should we do when the time comes? The painstaking efforts we have cultivated in the Western Regions for many years will not be wasted."

It's not that Mo Yunji has private affairs with countries in the Western Regions, but that he is a down-to-earth peacemaker, and he advocates trade and cultural exchanges.It took him a lot of painstaking efforts to gradually complete the business route that ran from east to west, so that he could see the current prosperous appearance of learning from each other's strengths and complementing each other's weaknesses.

Over the years, he has been the one who has kept the relationship with his aunt and other small countries in the west. Although it is because Lin Huaiyi is not interested in anything since he was a child, he likes to be perfunctory, only when he hears about his aunt. Listen carefully with both ears pricked up.

He once gave him a map, but later found that Lin Huaiyi's eyes would only stay on the ground of Gu Shi.

It was only then that he became interested in this small country that he didn't care much about, and it was he who later suggested that the aunt should send a proton to Beijing.

Although it wasn't a good way, but under Mo Li's frequent clamor for war, this was indeed the only way he could think of to protect his aunt.

Although looking at the two people sitting side by side on the table at this moment, he is really ashamed of his aunt, king and queen.He did bad things with good intentions, and led the sheep into the tiger's mouth.

"I really don't want to fight anymore."

Although he also knew that what he said was naive, so he only dared to say it to Lin Huaiyi.He thinks he is not courageous enough, he is terrified of years of war, and the people's wives and children will be scattered and starved to death.

"Your emperor has already started to investigate." Lin Xu said suddenly.

Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu with a smile, and Mo Yunji raised his head unexpectedly when he heard this: "Father has already started to investigate? What did Mr. Lin say? Why didn't he express his position yesterday?"

"The officer and soldier who just opened the door and came in to check is not a patrol soldier stationed here." Lin Xu said.

"Mr. Lin, can you recognize everyone outside?" Mo Yunji asked doubtfully.

"The soldiers outside the general's mansion are mainly composed of General Gongsun's mansion soldiers and part of the northern army. Ten people are divided into three shifts in the morning, middle and evening, and the teams change every other day. There are 60 people in total. But the one just now is not the 60 in this weekday. Any one of them." Lin Xu replied.

"But maybe people were temporarily transferred from other places?" Mo Yunji was still puzzled.

Lin Xu replied: "Since there were more soldiers patrolling outside when I was still in the Proton Mansion, I found all the soldiers in General Gongsun's house and the portraits of the Northern Army that could be used in Beijing. I have carefully read each of them. I can't guarantee that everyone will remember, but what I can confirm is that there is no such person in the portraits I have seen."

Mo Yunji was a little stunned. There should be thousands of soldiers in General Gongsun's mansion and the useless Northern Army in Beijing. He just looked at them one by one?Can you still be sure that you haven't seen that person just now?Does this person have a photographic memory?

Lin Xu seemed to see what Mo Yunji was thinking, and said with a light smile, "If you don't pay attention to the people who come and go around you after the assassination, then when something happens, you will really die and not be wronged."

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about, bah, bah, bah." Hearing this, Lin Huaiyi suddenly jumped up from his chair like a bear with fried hair, picked up the chicken leg in the bowl, and stuffed it into Lin Xu's mouth "Eat yours, stop talking nonsense to me."

But Lin Xu was not Qin Ping, so he couldn't eat the fist-sized chicken leg, so he had to remove half of the meat and put it back in Lin Huaiyi's bowl.

"Mr. Lin suffered such evil deeds in our dynasty. It is true that we did not take good care of him and were not capable enough to take advantage of him." Mo Yunji said to Lin Xu with a little apology.

"What should come will come naturally," Lin Xu said with a smile, "Fourth Prince, you don't have to blame yourself. In fact, I'm just a little bored in my illness, and it's purely to find something for myself to do. It's just a coincidence that I recognized it today."

Mo Yunji sighed softly, "Father, this is...doesn't anyone believe it?"

The conversation in the Imperial Study Room was like an innocuous scare, and then the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed and sent people to track where everyone would go after they went back, what they would be doing, and whom they would meet.

If there is a ghost in his heart, he will definitely not be able to go back home to rest with peace of mind.

Fortunately, he just went to a restaurant to buy some dishes and send them here...

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood, "Ah Yi, did you recognize that person just now?" That's why he let him scold him without answering his words, and ran all over the ground without looking like a feather duster.

Not to mention that the officers and soldiers could be deceived, even Mo Yunji was furious when he saw Lin Huaiyi like that.

Lin Huaiyi smiled, but didn't speak, just heard him turn his eyes to the door and say, "Here we come."

As soon as he finished speaking, a charming voice came from outside: "Guys, you are tired, come here, I have prepared some hot soup for you, to drive you away from the cold, look at you, your hands are so cold, It's all stiff..."

This is Meiniang, the current owner of Peony Garden, one of the rumored lovers of King Yucheng....

The officers and soldiers outside the door whose salaries are only enough to feed themselves have never seen Mei Niang so closely, so it's better not to serve tea for a while, but to see a few more times to feast their eyes.

Everyone froze.

"Hey, look, your ears are full of frostbite, Xiaocui, come on, quickly apply frostbite ointment to this master, you see how hard they are, you wipe it first, be careful, I will go in and say Words come out..."

"Xiao Cui?" Lin Huaiyi, who couldn't see what was going on outside in the mansion and could only listen to it with his ears, said in surprise.

"Isn't Xiaocui from Yanyu Building? When did you recruit him to Peony Garden?" He was really asking tremblingly at this moment, wishing he could jump over the wall and escape immediately.

Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu and Mo Yunji. These two heartless people are still playing the role of loving mother and filial son. You pick me a piece of taro, and I will give you a piece of meat.It seemed like Lin Huaiyi who didn't know the imminent fire.

"Ah Yi, if you don't like it, you have to explain it earlier..." Mo Yunji, as an elder who didn't grow up a few years old, said earnestly.

Lin Huaiyi who said this was really suffering and couldn't express it.After all, he was kind enough to help at the time, but he was misunderstood.

During this hesitation, the military master outside had already come in to report.

They had seen Meiniang go in and out of the General's Mansion a few times before, and they knew that this beautiful woman had a very close relationship with the lord. Seeing how Meiniang looked like a little girl in front of the lord, the relationship between the two of them was indeed like the rumored relationship. Very envious.

Fortunately, Mei Niang would occasionally bring a few older sisters here on weekdays, but she could only enter the General's Mansion alone, so those older sisters stayed outside to pour tea, break cakes and feast their eyes.These elders also extremely hope that Mei Niang will come a few more times on weekdays. She is so beautiful that she can relieve her worries.

It's just that the prince's face doesn't look very good today.

I saw Mei Niang happily walking up to Lin Huaiyi, shaking her handkerchief and twisting her waist: "Oh, my lord, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are much more handsome.

Look at this one with peach blossoms, why don't you come to my place for a while, the wine is ready for you, the beauties are waiting anxiously, I really don't understand style..."

At this time, Lin Xu, who was just filially tearing apart the chicken, stopped chopsticks. Meiniang felt a dangerous gaze resting on her for no reason. She was shocked when she saw it, and half of her skin suddenly got goosebumps. The woman's intuition told her to come Those who are not good, so put away the handkerchief and sit upright.

"How?" Lin Huaiyi asked.

"He belongs to the emperor, and the token hidden in his neck is Ting Tiansi." Meiniang said seriously.

Because of the bright and heavy make-up, this person's complexion darkened at the moment, as if he was wearing a fake face.

"Did you see clearly?"

"There will be no false ones. People from Tiansi have come to my place several times. I can't mistake their tokens." Mei Niang said.

"And when I came, I passed the residence of His Royal Highness King Hui..." Meiniang looked at Mo Yunji, and didn't continue talking.

"What's wrong with my house, just tell me if it's okay." Mo Yunji said

"Someone is checking your house." Meiniang said softly, "They are very cautious and stand far away, but they are obviously here for you."

☆、Chapter 51

Mo Yunji was silent.

In fact, it wasn't just him, some people who had never seen before appeared near various ministers' residences in central Beijing today, walking back and forth intentionally or unintentionally.

The haze of the investigation has not yet dissipated in their hearts. In the past few months, everyone has been in danger, wishing to send back all the people in the house who did not know their backgrounds.

Careful people, after discovering these people outside the mansion, still acted as if they were not aware of it and did some ordinary things.

Observing each other brightly and darkly.

Ruan Xiaoliang also hurriedly sent someone to call back the grandson of the receiving mansion, and closed the mansion door tightly.As usual, he was like an ostrich who buried his head deep in the yellow sand in the face of the desert wind and sand, and became a leisurely official who did not get involved in things that had nothing to do with him.

Qin Ping and Yin Gu worked together to tidy up the inside and outside of Tingwei's mansion. The blood stains on the ground were wiped if they could be wiped off. The old traces that could not be wiped off were put on a piece of cowhide, and the instruments of torture were washed clean. It hangs on the Xing frame as if it has been used.

The internal affairs officer was asked to find some new prison uniforms for the prisoners in the prison to change into, and a few more oil lamps were specially lit, so that this perennially gloomy hell on earth looked a little more alive.

Qin Ping looked at the completely new dungeon, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Yin Gu: "Hey, Mr. Yin, you said that we have tidied up this dungeon so cleanly. When the emperor finds out, hey, will he give us a reward?" ah."

Yin Gu glanced at Qin Ping, who was daydreaming, and patted him on the shoulder: "Master Qin, our holy majesty was gradually cultivated because of his excellent criminal judgment and being favored by the late emperor."

"Excellent Xing Shen?" Qin Ping asked puzzled.Today's Emperor Zhenling was still the prince back then, and before he was crowned as the prince of the East Palace, Qin Ping was still a small official of the Northern Army who knew how to talk and drink with his teammates all day long. many.

"In today's world, we are most familiar with the Tingwei's Mansion when we came here. Some of the blood stains on the ground that we just washed away may be left by him."

Yin Gu didn't want to talk too much about the past, so he just moved the topic to other places without leaving a trace, and changed the focus.

Qin Ping made a "tsk" sound, and stopped asking further questions, put aside his curiosity about the cases that Emperor Zhen Ling had handled, and accepted Yin Gu's meaningful kindness.

Some things shouldn't be known too much.

"Huh?" Qin Ping suddenly thought, "Master Yin, you said that the emperor is very familiar with Tingwei's Mansion, so he must know the ghostly appearance of the dungeon for many years. Why did he ask me to help clean it today? If the emperor knows the dungeon well Ming, then don’t we need to do this?”

I saw Yin Gu grinned and smiled: "Hey, the winter is coming, and the New Year's Eve is approaching. After the spring, it should be the time when everything recovers. I'm afraid of mosquitoes, so I'm not trying to use the northern army in Lord Qin's hand to come here." By the way, can you clean up our understaffed place..."

Qin Ping heard "Hey Hey" for a long time but didn't say a word

"The northern army can't even defend the palace now. Being overwhelmed by the southern army, their feelings are still reduced to being treated as scavengers?"

"That's not it, let's take it as a thank-you gift from Mr. Qin for eating so many hard-working chickens in my house. I'm not like that father-in-law Zeng who was born in a serious farmer and can raise the whole place so well.

You see, there are only a few of them in the entire Tingwei Mansion. We have worked so hard to raise them to adulthood, and we even gave them names. My poor little flower, the little bench, and the little steamed bun...they have a loud chirping sound, and they are very obedient. . "

Qin Ping looked up to the sky and sighed: "King Yucheng also eats, why don't you ask him to come!"

"My lord is afraid of getting dirty, and he doesn't eat as much as you." Lord Yin, who was still frowning just now, stroked his beard and said righteously.

Qin Ping suddenly felt that he was not good enough to meet people in the past, and this year must be a crime against Tai Sui, and he encountered all kinds of bad things.

When the two passed by Wu Zhenyu's cell while they were talking, Qin Ping only felt that the way General Wu looked at them today was a little weird, and even a little mocking.

Qin Ping felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him, so he turned his head to Wu Zhenyu and said, "General Wu, if you want to live longer, don't make trouble for yourself. It will be the first month in a few days, and I also hope If you can live longer, at least make up your own age."

Wu Zhenyu sneered, took a few steps back and returned to the simple bed made of straw, lay down and closed his eyes and did not reply.

Qin Ping followed Yin Gu's pace and went upstairs, leaving him alone.

I saw Wu Zhenyu opened his eyes again after the two left, and said coldly: "Idiot."

He didn't hide his words, the jailer outside the door also heard it, and looked at this prisoner who was dying and was rushing to find him a crime for no reason, and really couldn't understand why this person is now dead. With this scene, you can still have a posture with eyes higher than the top.

After Qin Ping and the others went upstairs, the prince, who was afraid of getting dirty at some point, also came, and Lin Xu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was beside him.

"Mr. Lin is here too? Don't just stand there, just sit down..." Qin Ping hurried to get a stool for Lin Xu, and called for someone to make tea for them.

The enthusiastic Lin Xu felt a little embarrassed. He was not used to being served by others, so he hurriedly said to Qin Ping, "Your Majesty Qin, you are welcome. Lin Xu just passed by Tingwei Mansion and wanted to see Master Qin..."

"Hey hey, what's so interesting about me." Qin Ping said with a smile as he stroked his increasingly capable belly.

Lin Xu said sincerely: "The reason why General Wu bought the murderer was to kill me. Lord Qin and Lord Yin have worked so hard for this matter for a long time. Lin Xu is very sorry. Taking advantage of the aunt's convoy entering Beijing to pay tribute, he also brought me a Some New Year's goods, I want to bring some to the two adults, although they are not valuables, but they are considered Lin Xu's kindness, so please accept them."

Since the aunt belonged to the Great Wei, she has sincerely paid tribute every year, especially when Lin Seqing became the queen of the aunt, the relationship between the aunt and the Great Wei has reached a new level.

It can be seen that Lin Seqing is indeed not an idle person, but has some tricks.

Now that the New Year's Eve is approaching, it is also the time for my aunt to pay tribute.

Lin Xu asked the cooks who were carrying the items to come over, opened the box, and immediately the intoxicating aroma filled the whole room.

He brought highland barley wine brewed by the royal family of Gushi to Qin Ping, who was good at wine.

He brought fresh apocynum tea and Kunlun snow chrysanthemum to Yin Gu of HEYTEA.

Qin Ping was a rough man who came out of the army, he only knew that the highland barley wine smelled very good, he took a spoonful of it and put it in his throat, he was so excited by the pungent aroma that he almost jumped on the spot.

"It's really a good thing."

"Royal Highland Barley Wine really lives up to its reputation"

In fact, there are quite a few merchants in central Beijing peddling "Western Region Highland Barley Wine" and "Wala Goat's Milk Wine" under the guise of selling dog meat, but in fact they are all just different farm wines, and they don't know how much water they have been mixed with.

This pure "Western Region Highland Barley" is the first time in his history that he has drunk such authentic wine.

But Yin Gu is a man of knowledge. He knows that the snow chrysanthemum and apocynum tea brought by Lin Xu are very valuable, and they should all be for the royal family's own use. Even as a gift, it seems a bit shabby, but in fact, these things are called soft gold among insiders. I heard that the empress loves Kunlun Xueju very much.

After the golden flower is brewed in boiling water, the tea juice will naturally turn a crimson red color like agate, which is light and thick, and rosy and clear. It is named "Blood Chrysanthemum" because its color is similar to blood. It has the effect of prolonging life and moisturizing the skin. .

And if it is Kunlun snow chrysanthemum, it is naturally obtained from Kunlun Mountain, which is blocked by ice and snow all the year round, and the closer to the top of the mountain, the more precious the flower buds are.

After Yin Gu opened the box, he could smell the clear scent of cedar in the fragrance of flowers, so he knew that the items in his hands might be comparable to those that were finally presented to the empress.

This aunt prince is also good at being a man, doing what he likes, and hitting the bull's-eye.He didn't really bring them precious gold and silver, and he knew how to deceive people.

After thanking repeatedly, he put it away solemnly, and waited for Lin Xu to speak calmly.

But Lin Xu didn't say anything, Lin Huaiyi said, "Master Yin, do you know that there are some new faces outside the Tingwei Mansion?"

Yin Gu sighed and said: "Yin must have discovered it, and the emperor's will is unpredictable, so we can only act as if we don't know about it."

So he simply called Qin Ping, who was also in the trap, to take care of the inside and outside of the Tingwei Mansion.

Anyway, if Wu Zhenyu didn't open his mouth now, they would have no more cases to investigate in the afternoon. Obviously, the emperor didn't believe anyone about the Wensu matter, and planned to "conquer with his own hands" and do it himself.

Unexpectedly, the emperor could spare manpower and time to deal with this incident in his busy schedule, and the speed of this action is really astounding.

Sure enough, the emperor who can handle hundreds of documents a day, apart from other things, just looking at this vigorous and resolute method, is indeed a man who is capable of governing the country.

"The year is approaching, the emperor probably doesn't want to make trouble at this moment." Qin Ping Yin Gu said.

"In a few days, the tributes from Nanyang and the Northeast should also arrive. These people come and go as fakes, and the emperor will send more people to see if the courtiers are flirting with others."

Every year on New Year's Eve, every household of the common people puts up lanterns and festoons, wears new clothes, and buys new year's goods. Only those aristocratic families who can walk sideways in Beijing will hide in their shells and do things in a low-key manner. Forgetting with piercing eyes, just pretending that he doesn't exist.

"It's just that the control of the imperial city is much stricter than in previous years, and the target is directed at the courtiers." Yin Gu sighed.

"Well, indeed." Qin Ping, who was still smacking his lips just now, interjected, "And now Tiansi is all-pervasive, and is more highly valued by the emperor than our "Sky Eyes."

Now this "eye of the sky" is almost reduced to some coolies.

"After all, the monitoring scope of Tianyan is only in the middle of Beijing. Of course, a place with such a large block of tofu is not comparable to Tingtiansi's scope." Yin Gu explained.

Qin Ping felt distressed.

Just because the northern army was born in a bad way, it was created by the queen mother, and now the southern army created by the former emperor was driven out of the palace.

Just come out, at least there are still things to do, and you can live more freely than in the heavily guarded palace. I didn't expect the emperor to take advantage of him to deal with Wu Zhenyu's affairs in Tingwei Mansion. He recruited some patrol soldiers, and set up Ting Tiansi, and now he was really and completely cut off his real power.

It's a pity that the brothers of the Northern Army who followed him in Beijing were not weak in all skills after training in the palace for many years. They were bullied by the Southern Army's arrogance before and could still fight with them. Now they are so forgotten There is really nowhere to complain and nothing to say.

Qin Ping felt deeply ashamed of those brothers, and felt a little resentful when he thought about it.

Why?Could the so-called origin be so important?Now the former emperor and the empress dowager have already been on the crane, and the empress also has self-knowledge to give the emperor the control of the northern army, and the entire harem will no longer interfere with these political affairs under her example.

When Qin Ping took over the Northern Army, those old seniors had already disarmed and returned to the field. In his opinion, the Northern Army he commanded was not much different from the Southern Army.

But other people don't think so, and this other person is still today.What can he say as a little executive Jinwu, he has no choice but to accept his dissatisfaction, running around arresting people and putting out fires, doing the work at hand, hoping that the emperor will see them again someday.

In the eyes of others, his "eye of the sky" is infinitely beautiful, and if he finds anything, he can directly go to the sky to hear it, and he is the eyes and ears of the emperor.

But those unfamiliar faces that appeared outside the mansion today shattered his unrealistic hopes for a long time.

The emperor chose to abandon his eyes and reuse his ears.

When he was drunk, he felt uncomfortable, lost his enthusiasm for a while, sobbed and lay down on the teacher's chair next to him, and fell asleep.

☆、Chapter 52

Lin Xu waited for a while, and seeing that Qin Ping was fast asleep, he found a blanket to cover him up, and said to Yin Gu who was beside him: "The taste of self-brewed wine is strong, if someone who has never drunk this wine before, it is the first time No matter how much Chang Wei drinks, he will definitely sleep for a long time."

Yin Gu said with a smile: "Young master Lin came here this time, you don't just want to come to me to try something new."

Lin Xu bowed politely and said, "Indeed, Lin Xu came to visit Tingwei's mansion today, and I actually have a heartless invitation."

"It doesn't matter, young master, please tell me, as long as Yin can help, I will do my best."

"I want to meet someone." Lin Xu looked into Yin Gu's eyes and said.

"Your Excellency is talking about General Wu who wants to kill you?" Yin Gu asked.

"Exactly. Because I am the hostage of my aunt, it is inconvenient to meet people here. I asked the prince to lead the way here, and I also asked Mr. Yin to sell my favor." Lin Xu admitted without hiding it. .

Yin Gu laughed: "I just think it's a big deal, the young master is willing to come to see General Wu, we have been wishing for it, but the young master has often been ill in the past six months, so we can only let go of this idea for the time being, and spend hard time with General Wu If you go, General Wu may be able to say something that he would not say in front of us."

Lin Xu said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Lord Yin, for your fulfillment."

After Lin Huaiyi led Lin Xu down the dungeon, Yin Gu looked at the sleeping Qin Ping and sighed deeply.

Qin Ping was worried about his northern army, but Tingwei's mansion was struggling with the emperor's will.

You have to guard against open and hidden arrows from all directions, and you have to be careful not to let yourself be used as a gunman.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, after all, he was a person who learned to climb up step by step with his true talents, and he was more sensitive to danger than others.

Too many weird things happened in this year, he didn't know what role he played in it, he thought he was not qualified to be the emperor's right-hand man, but he did everything with a clear conscience, but That sense of danger still lingers in his heart from time to time, like a ghost demanding his life, which is hard to dissipate.

Lin Huaiyi and the others walked down the stone steps to the dungeon. Although it happened that Qin Ping and Yin Gu specially lit a few more lamps when cleaning today, it was really difficult for Lin Xu to get used to the sudden transition from light to darkness. Afraid of stepping on empty footsteps, it is inevitable to walk slowly.

Lin Huaiyi felt Lin Xu's cautiousness, so he reached out to hold Lin Xu's hand, and led the way in front of him, leading him down step by step.

Lin Xu was led by him, and the warmth and firmness conveyed by Lin Huaiyi's hands made him quietly close his eyes. The world was suddenly completely dark, but he was able to walk steadily every step of the way, even more solid than just walking down the stone steps. Sometimes you can rely on your own eyes to distinguish the gaps between the stone steps and feel at ease.

Until he slammed into the arms of the person who was not leading the way with a "bang".

He opened his eyes, looked at Lin Huaiyi with a smirk on his face, and whispered in his ear: "Ah Xu is so relieved of me, is it because he wants to hand over the whole person?"

Fortunately, the surrounding light was not very bright, covering up the redness on Lin Xu's cheeks, and the two people who were only illuminated wanted to take a closer look.
