I'm The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book

Li Mingjin slapped everyone calmly, woke them up, and let them know what kind of person the third prince from the capital is.

Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, he is not favored by Emperor Tiansheng, and he has no possibility of becoming the throne, but he is really not a kitten or puppy who can be manipulated by others.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were not affected at all after watching the generals from the north and the south finish a group fight. They even listened to the screams of the generals being beaten before leaving.

After getting into the carriage, Luo Shuyu said to Li Mingjin: "Your Highness, today's actions are very clever. They don't help each other. It seems that they are ruthless to the generals, but in fact they give Lin Haiming and the northern generals a chance to get closer."

Li Mingjin stuffed Luo Shuyu's somewhat cold hands into his arms: "If no one jumped out to step on the southern soldiers and mention General Wei, I would not have thought of this. Moreover, what they said made me think that The thing is that someone knew it on purpose. I don’t know if the general who jumped out first was really drunk or fake drunk. If he was really drunk, it means he spoke the truth after drinking. If he was fake drunk, it’s okay. You've done us a great favor. There's no harm in the end."

Luo Shuyu almost leaned on Li Mingjin, and he took the initiative to find a comfortable position: "Whether there is premeditation or not, His Highness has benefited."

"Yes." Li Mingjin told Luo Shuyu her plan, "Originally I thought that we would take our time when we got to the north, and let Lin Haiming and the others blend in with the people in the north for a period of time before making adjustments. Now the plan can't keep up with the changes. Since someone jumped Come out, if you have this opportunity, how can you not make good use of it?"

"That's right." Luo Shuyu expressed appreciation for Li Mingjin's actions tonight, "Then what's next? If Your Highness didn't plan ahead, wouldn't it disrupt your previous rhythm."

"It's not even started yet. What's the rhythm? The next thing will be easy to handle. It depends on how Lin Haiming gets along with the people on their side. In addition, how do you see the two sons of General Wei's family today?" Li Mingjin asked Luo Shuyu again.

Luo Shuyu: "You mean them? I have observed them, they are quite normal, and they have not violated the rules all night, but the prefect Zhu makes me a little concerned, I feel that he is a bit strange, and there is always something wrong with his behavior, Your Highness thinks Woolen cloth?"

Li Mingjin: "I have the same opinion as you, there is something wrong with this prefect."

Luo Shuyu was a little puzzled again: "If we all feel that something is wrong, others won't be able to see it."

Li Mingjin: "I'm a little confused, but few people here know the prefect Zhu ten years ago. Civil servants and generals have always had conflicts. You can check the prefect Zhu's family."

After staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a period of time, Li Mingjin's ability to observe people has become more detailed, and even the slightest irrationality can be detected.

Luo Shuyu didn't understand Li Mingjin in this regard, so she asked him: "How to check?"

Li Mingjin: "Check his family, his wife, and his children are the most vulnerable."

Luo Shuyu suddenly said: "It makes sense."

Who would have thought that when they just came to the north, they would encounter these strange things immediately. They should be more cautious. The north is not as peaceful as they imagined. There has been a gap between civil servants and generals since ancient times.

It's a pity that they didn't have more communication with General Wei before they came, otherwise they could still inquire about some news.

Presumably the token Wei Xianfei gave them was really useful.

There are also several princes hidden in the north. Is it the prince or the eldest prince, or the fourth prince who is not visible?Or maybe all three.

In doubt, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu returned to their new house.

After a day of tidying up, although the house is not comparable to the Prince's Mansion in the capital, it has everything it should have, and there is nothing lacking for the time being.

After returning to the new Third Prince's Mansion, Luo Shuyu and Li Mingjin wiped their bodies and prepared to rest.

Today was the first time for Li Mingjin to show his other side in front of officials. He was still a little excited and couldn't sleep, so he hugged Luo Shuyu and rubbed his cheek: "Yu'er, what do you think I will perform like this in the future?"

Luo Shuyu pushed his face away: "Of course there is nothing wrong with it. I saw that many people are afraid of you getting angry. The main reason is that His Highness will find the right starting point. Throwing the wine glass earlier or later will not achieve that effect."

Li Mingjin: "But they will listen to me tonight, and there will be more work after tomorrow."

Luo Shuyu: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. They are generals and civil servants stationed in the north. They have their own way to deal with it. Now it is a bit difficult for us to intervene as a third-party force. When Mr. Chen recovers from his illness, we will have a look." Does he have any new countermeasures?"

"It's okay, Chen Rong is good at everything, but his health is poor." Li Mingjin felt a little regretful.

"After that day, I'll find a doctor to take care of him. It's cold in the north, and being sick all the time is not an option. It's too bad for your life." Luo Shuyu also felt sad. He hoped that Chen Rong in this life could live a few years longer than in his previous life.

Li Mingjin changed the subject: "Stop talking, you see we haven't done anything shameful for more than a month, how about experiencing the effect of the new bed?"

Luo Shuyu was pressed under him: "Your Highness!"

Li Mingjin untied his obscene clothes and said, "This kang is really warm, you don't need to cover it with a thick quilt, it's really convenient."

Luo Shuyu: "..." You've only been here for two days, and you feel quite a lot!

On the second day, Li Mingjin didn't have to go to court early, and Luo Shuyu didn't have to worry about someone inviting him to the palace at any moment, and both of them slept until the sun rose.

Just after breakfast in the house, Chen Rong came to their yard to see Li Mingjin.

Luo Shuyu immediately asked someone to help Chen Rong in, and said, "Mr. Chen, it's so cold outside, don't run around before you recover from your illness."

Chen Rong's face is still a little pale, but his spirit has improved a lot, but he still has trouble walking: "I didn't want to make His Highness and the Third Prince and Concubine sick, but early in the morning, I heard that I attended the dust-cleaning banquet yesterday. All the generals were punished with ten army sticks by His Royal Highness, and they ran over in a moment of anxiety."

Li Mingjin was not in a hurry to answer, so he asked him: "What else is there?" Otherwise, Chen Rong would not rush over.

Chen Rong smiled: "As expected of your Highness, I immediately thought about the reason why I came to you. The person who spread the rumors must not have told the truth. He only mentioned that His Highness punished people at the dust cleaning banquet, and did not explain the reason for the punishment. The other party wants the audience to think that His Highness is not only a cruel and unreasonable person, but also an ignorant and uneducated person who came to the north to show off his power and prestige, and if the word is heard by those soldiers, no one is willing to obey His Highness's orders. What happened yesterday?"

Li Mingjin is used to brevity, Luo Shuyu was afraid that he might not speak clearly enough, so she answered for him.

"During the drinking process, a general suddenly became drunk and kept emphasizing the goodness of General Wei, and belittled the generals in the south. punish them."

Chen Rong pondered for a while: So it turns out that ten army sticks per person is not too much. "

Li Mingjin asked Chen Rong: "Do you know Taishou Zhu?"

Chen Rong said: "I was fortunate enough to meet once when I was traveling in the north in the early years."

Li Mingjin: "How early were the early years."

Chen Rong: "It should be around 20 years old."

Li Mingjin: "Do you still remember the appearance of the prefect Zhu at that time?"

Chen Rong: "Maybe I don't remember it, but I just remember that he is a very serious person and doesn't like to joke with others. He should be regarded as a good official and a person who thinks about the common people. I didn't see him in the back yesterday. .”

Li Mingjin: "But the personality of the prefect Zhu we saw is not quite similar to what you described. You can take a closer look at him when he comes to the mansion later."

Chen Rong: "The personality is different from the rumors?"

Li Mingjin nodded: "Well, it's not impossible for a person to suddenly change his temperament, but at least something big has to happen."

Chen Rong: "Then I'll take a closer look later."

Li Mingjin: "OK."

Seeing that they were silent, Luo Shuyu raised her doubts: "But, who is spreading the rumors now?"

"Whoever is least willing for His Highness to make meritorious service in the north is the one who is most anxious." Chen Rong analyzed.

"The most anxious one?" Li Mingjin raised her voice, "Is it the elder brother's?"

Chen Rong said: "It is possible that the fourth prince will go south. Although they are in the same group on the surface, if the fourth prince arrives in Dong'an County safely, then his problem will be serious. I guess His Majesty will appoint an imperial envoy. Going south with the fourth prince, the fourth prince can't handle it alone."

Li Mingjin glanced at Luo Shuyu: "It's not necessarily true, maybe he has other assistance, forces in the world that we don't know about."

Chen Rong has never been conceited, frowned and said: "It's also possible." He was thinking about what cards the Fourth Prince had.

While they were chatting about what Li Mingjin should do next, Steward Fu who followed Steward Sun told them that a man who claimed to be Senior Brother Chen Rong came to see Li Mingjin.

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu looked at the delicate and sickly Chen Rong together.

Li Mingjin: "It turns out that Mr. Chen still has a brother? I haven't heard you say it before."

Chen Rong was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, I have no intention of deceiving you, but I have never found a chance to explain this matter."

Luo Shuyu said to Steward Fu: "Since he is Mr. Chen's senior brother, please invite him to the main hall."

Both Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu were curious about what kind of person Chen Rong's senior brother was.

It wasn't until they saw it that they realized that his senior brother was actually a handsome and handsome doctor in his 30s. A medicine box exuding a faint medicinal fragrance was hung on his shoulder, and behind him stood a doctor about twelve or three years old. drug boy.

The man knelt down and said, "Cao Min Lin Yuan has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the Concubine the Third Prince."

Li Mingjin said: "Get up, there is no need to be too polite, you are Mr. Chen's senior brother, and you must have something special."

Luo Shuyu sat at the side and asked the servants to serve good tea.

After getting up, Lin Yuan looked at Chen Rong who was following Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu, and said calmly, "Junior brother, long time no see."

Chen Rong was embarrassed for a while: "Brother, why didn't you come here without invitation."

Lin Yuan said: "Junior brother has been in the capital for many years, and it is not easy to meet you."

Luo Shuyu took the opportunity to say: "Your brothers and sisters have a very good relationship."

Chen Rong gave Luo Shuyu a big message in the next moment: "Third Concubine, he is the Jie Baidu you are looking for."

Luo Shuyu was taken aback:? ? ?

Wait, didn't the book say that Jie Baidu was an old man?

Why is he now a young man in his early thirties? Is his information wrong, or is Chen Rong looking for the wrong direction?

The author has something to say: Third Prince: Daughter-in-law, do you want to try the plaster newly researched by Senior Brother Chen Rong?

Luo Shuyu: ...
