The happy life of the devil and the devil

What else is there to explain?

Zong Zhengyuan Xin Xuebai's head was lowered, his heart tossed and turned, and he scolded Ling Yucheng seven or eight hundred times.If it weren't for Ling Yucheng who is now considered a member of the Beiliang royal family, he could have followed his Ling family's genealogy to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

Didn't you just come to ask for an explanation?The emperor disappeared, there was a solar eclipse in the sky, and even the crown prince was assassinated and injured. What's the matter, as the queen of the prison, shouldn't you give an explanation to comfort people's hearts?As for putting on such an appearance that he must either give in completely, or turn his back on him?

While scolding, the bottom of my heart is still quickly settling accounts.It's true that Ling Yucheng has a strong temper, and it's true that he has good credit. As long as he promises something, he never reneges on his debts—or, in other words, he doesn't bother to renege on his debts and cheat people at all.He said three months, that is, three months, and he wouldn't delay it for an hour more!

As for these three months... No soldier in Qingzhou will leave the fief, no matter the Jinwu Guards, Habayashi Guards, Hussars, or the guards of various prefectures in the capital, His Majesty is familiar with it. It is expected that Ling Yucheng will not be able to play any tricks.With His Majesty's martial arts, after all, it is still possible to survive, and it is in everyone's interest to maintain the status quo under the current situation.If His Majesty really can't come back, wouldn't it be a good thing for the crown prince to ascend the throne cleanly?

In addition, Ling Yucheng has already reached this point, if he pushes him into a hurry, he doesn't know what will happen...

In the entire Zhaoxin Hall, he is the only one with a sword!

After such calculations, he was about to speak, when the opposite party suddenly made a plop and knelt down alone.Yuan Xin quickly glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that the man kneeling on the ground was stocky, half short, and looked like an iron tower when poked there. Xi.The people in the Jinwu Guard who can really hold power are all taught by Lei Yong, and what they pay attention to is loyalty to His Majesty.Your Majesty said that the sun rises from the north, so it definitely does not come from the northwest corner!

At this moment, this guy landed on both knees and slammed his head on the ground. Yuan Xin felt the ground tremble across an aisle and a seat.I could hear Tie Xiliang yelling at the cows and horses on the grassland, and the buzzing in the hall was the echo of his yelling:

"Jin Wuwei is ordered!"

The atmosphere in Zhaoxin Hall suddenly stagnated.What Lord Zongzheng wanted to understand, at this time almost everyone wanted to understand it, but none of the bosses could be ashamed to show such a head.Unexpectedly, he was snatched by a brash man to show his loyalty--a moment later, there was only a sigh from the hall, and the jingle of rings, Princess Qinghe got up with a flick of her sleeves, and bowed to the empty throne in the middle:

"Habayashi guards are ordered."

Another quick exchange of glances.Master Zuo Zhuguo's gray head nodded almost imperceptibly. His eldest son, Hussar General Zong Qing got up and went out, and also knelt down on the ground facing the throne:

"The hussar guards are ordered."

"Shenwu Wei received an order..."

"Xiongwuwei is ordered..."

"Tian Ce Wei received an order..."

"Xingwuwei is ordered..."

In half a cup of tea, there was a clatter of kneeling in front of the throne, and almost all the troops directly under the royal family who were qualified to sit here all came out and knelt down, claiming to be enjoined.At this point, it's meaningless to hold your identity. Master Zongzheng sighed secretly, got up first, and bowed down from the table:

"The minister waits for the edict."

Plop plop, the high-ranking officials and nobles who were still sitting on their feet and were focused on relying on the crowd to support the scene, instantly fell to their knees neatly on the ground.

Looking at the rows of drooping heads and fallen backs, as well as the seats that would be vacated immediately in the hall, Ling Yucheng raised his eyes slightly, just in time to meet the eyes of the prince.The crown prince's expression was never colder than before, but Ling Yucheng, who had already stepped back a few steps and stood sideways, was just indifferent and calm, unpredictable and profound.

...Do you want to completely control the power of the capital?

Want to accuse me of being the mastermind behind the assassination, want to deprive me of the power to supervise the country, or want to make these people below kneel to you?

Wait for three months, or wait for the news of His Majesty's death to be confirmed, or... just rely on your own strength, defeat me, and hold everything in your hands!

Depending on you, can you do it?

Turning a blind eye to the Crown Prince's faint hostility and hatred, Ling Yucheng just coughed lightly and raised his hand: "Please stand up, gentlemen. The assassination of the Crown Prince is of great importance. As soon as I got the news, I ordered all the gates of the capital to be closed immediately. Your Majesty is in distress right now, the sky is showing a strange omen, the capital is in great chaos, and the people are in urgent need of appeasement, and capturing the assassin's accomplices is also a top priority. All of you are His Majesty's confidantes, and please work together to tide over the difficulties!"

After speaking, he took a step forward, clasped his fists in both hands, bowed and bowed.

There was the sound of chairs rubbing against the ground.A group of courtiers had just stood up and were about to go back to their seats. At this time, bowing bowed, bowed down, and returned the salute one after another.Ling Yucheng waited for the chaos to pass, then turned to the elder of the Beiliang royal family, and said solemnly:

"Lord Zongzheng, Ling has the courage to ask you to preside over the Nine Cities Dasuo and capture the assassins who assassinated the prince. I don't know what you want?"

This……

Don't look like "your Yuan family's affairs, your Yuan family's own affairs"!Just now he slapped the table and cut the corners of the table and turned his face into a rage. Why don't you be so polite so quickly!It is unkind to tear down bridges across rivers——

Zhang Laogen's life in the past six months has been full of ups and downs.

The Zhang family was originally a tenant in the Huangzhuang, just like its neighbors.Tenants rely on the sky for food and clothes, and when other people’s harvest is finished, they can save some money to buy two acres of land. After a lifetime of hard work, they might be able to turn themselves into small landlords. It is impossible to think about it.Let's just keep farming, even if the sons won't be able to get ahead in the next life, at least the daughter can marry a good family, right?

The good ones are coming soon.Two years ago, they were given to the queen in conjunction with Zhuangzi—well, the queen is a man, and has nothing to do with them, but the queen's personal guards are stationed not far from Zhuangzi, and those boys After setting the value, he ran non-stop into the Zhuangzi.At the beginning of this year, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was over, the family's eldest daughter, Cuiyu, got married to a member of the guard.

It's not that he, Zhang Laogen, sells himself and boasts, Cuiyu, a girl, is outstanding in terms of beauty and ingenuity in this town!No, some nobles have taken a fancy to it!In those few days, Zhang Laogen walked with the wind, and children from neighbors came to visit, and they grabbed a handful of candy very generously.

Unexpectedly, for a few days without complacency, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the eldest daughter of his family who was about to marry and enjoy the blessings was actually ruined by the young master who didn't know where!Cuiyu was also violent, and she hanged herself while others were not paying attention. Although the Queen's army sent those young masters to the prison to seek justice for them, the lost ones would never survive again. It's a good marriage, and I don't know which girl will be cheaper.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and within ten days and a half a month, someone came to the door with a large sum of money.The eldest daughter is gone anyway, and the younger daughter is also destined to marry. 1000 taels of silver can make the whole family live a better life!

As for not being allowed to continue planting the fields in the village or something-rare!Uncle is rich, where can't he live!The uncle has already had enough of being a tenant, and if he wants to leave the village, he still has to ask his grandpa to sue his grandma!

With his wife and son, 1000 taels of silver and the family property he saved in peacetime, Zhang Laogen swaggered into the house of the young master of the Frostwolf Guard in the capital.Although a concubine's family members are not qualified to live in the mansion permanently, they were politely sent out within half a month, but—the same sentence, with 1000 taels of silver in hand, there is nothing they can do!

I bought a small courtyard house in the southeast of the capital, and mortgaged two small houses for rent. The former tenants became Yugong.Thanks to the cheap price of the house and the delicious dishes cooked by the mother-in-law, she even attracted a few tenants, living a happy life.

The good days continued until the day of the solar eclipse.

Sitting at home behind closed doors, misfortune comes from heaven.Sitting well at home, listening to the smoky smoke and the howling of ghosts and wolves.Before the family was terrified and could not figure out where to escape, a group of ferocious spirits broke through the house and rushed in to grab money and things. Saying "no" was a punch.

well!I think back then, when I lived in Huangzhuang, who would dare to bully me so openly!

It was the first time that Zhang Laogen regretted taking out all the gold, silver and soft food to send away the god of plague.

Fortunately, the house deed was well hidden and was not searched away.As for the lost floating wealth, after all, my youngest daughter married a nobleman, so I will beg her tomorrow, as long as the nobleman is willing to move his fingers, I'm afraid those bastards won't spit out the things they robbed with their profits!

Not waiting for tomorrow, that night, Youli was guiding the servants of Jingzhao Mansion, and knocked on the door of Zhang's house.

"Is this the family?"

"That's right!"

"Is the house next door yours? Is it leased to some foreigners?"

"Yes!"

"Those people have lived in your house for a month?"

"The officer is right..."

"take away!"

With a shout, the iron chain jingled and wrapped around his neck coldly.Zhang Laogen, Zhang's mother-in-law, and the two unmarried sons were all thrown into prison.

The prince was assassinated, and Ninetowns were killed.The people in the capital on the street that day were unlucky: Jingzhao Mansion, Wucheng Bingmasi and Hussar Guards were all dispatched, and they took care of each of them on the spot, reporting their names and addresses, and asking the Baojia of the residence to come and collect them.If there is any doubt about his identity, or if he is accused of setting fire to looting in the street just now, or molesting a big girl or a little wife, don't say anything, just look first!

All the restaurants, inns, and even the brothels, and even the wolf-like servants rushed in, from the chef in charge to the half-drunk guests, checking one by one.Of course, it is impossible to let go of those outsiders who live in rented houses. If they do not bring their household certificates and checks, even the homeowners will be punished accordingly.With Baojia, those who know the basics and know the basics can be sure to get it right away.

As for the place where the prince was assassinated, within a radius of two or three miles, that is the focus of verification.As long as you are not a native of the capital, or if you have a little doubt about your accent and manner, you are welcome in the capital prison——by the time the street drums are beaten that night, even the prisons of the Jingzhaofu prison, the prison of the Ministry of punishment, and the prisons of the five city soldiers and horses are all full. Forget it, the hussar guards had to urgently vacate the house where the prisoners of war were held last year, and then locked all suspicious personnel in.

As for Zhang Laogen's family, they were honored to enjoy the N-day tour of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.And because there was a guy who was suspected of being an associate of the assassin among the tenants, he became the key torture target of the government servants that night.

"I do not know anything……"

Zila—the sound of a soldering iron being pressed against flesh.

"Oh—you can't treat me like this...my daughter is married to the young master of the Frostwolf Guards, and she will look good to you in the future—"

"Come on, get on the stick!"

"what--"

After fainting several times and waking up with cold water, Zhang Laogen, who was dying, finally remembered a sentence that might save his life:

"Our family is a tenant on the Queen's estate..."

Alas, when I was a tenant in Zhuangzi, who dared to bully the queen when he was full?

Of course, the nonchalant Zhang Laogen didn't know that his confession was reported layer by layer, put together with a large pile of important or unimportant news, and finally presented to Lord Zongzheng...

The author has something to say: "Jin Wuwei is under the imperial edict!"——Your Majesty can listen to whomever he says...

"Habayashi defends the order."—We are your sister and brother-in-law, if you have the ability, you bite me!

"The hussars are under the imperial edict."——Our family's great cause is the father of His Majesty's uncle who controls the Gyeonggi garrison. If you have the ability, you bite me!

"Shenwu Wei received an order..."

"Xiongwuwei is ordered..."

"Tian Ce Wei received an order..."

"Xingwuwei is ordered..."

The sky is falling and all kinds of tall people are in front...
