I'm sorry, I don't want to be sucked by you

The commander and his party lay in ambush for a day in front of the old princess's tomb, but of course they didn't find anyone.Ling Tian burned some paper money in a corner of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and considered it a filial piety for the original owner, and had no intention of leaving the city at all.

The Governor of Yanjing and the Commander of the Army and Horses of the Five Cities returned empty-handed. The old emperor was very furious and broke his paper on the spot, "Useless trash!"

As soon as the words fell, he coughed violently.Now his body is getting worse day by day, and he is worried that he will not live to the day when the plan is completed, so his temper has become much more irritable.

"The emperor calm down." "The minister owes the grace!"

The Governor of Yanjing and the Commander of the Army and Horses of the Five Cities fell on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

The great eunuch Hu Sheng hurried forward to appease him, and by the way, he poured tea for clearing away heat and reducing dryness, "Your Majesty, the body of the dragon is important."

The old emperor coughed for a long time, drank tea and calmed down, then ruthlessly stroked the black hair of the governor of Yanjing, slapped the commander of the Wucheng soldiers and horses, and fined the entire Wucheng soldiers and horses. After half a year, he was ordered to continue the investigation.

This is because the Commander is his confidant, but that rubbish sentence is enough to make the Commander depressed for a long time.It's not easy to be the emperor's confidant. Once the big boss decides that you are useless, someone to replace you will appear soon.

Therefore, the commander did not dare to rest even with the club wound on his back. Not only did he have to continue to lay a net to catch people, but he also had to prevent the deputy commander from grabbing his position.

The second-in-command got fed up with the rest of the action, and Ling Tian asked Murong Bai to recruit him on the second day after the conflict broke out between the two sides.

The Ninth Prince invited him personally, and the deputy commander planned to meet him no matter what he thought.

Before that, Ling Tian found another person.

"Who?" Just as Wang An sat up, a sharp sword with a cold light came across his neck, and a man in black appeared before him without a sound, revealing only a pair of deep black pupils.

King Anton opened his mouth, and the sword moved a little closer. The sharp edge of the sword made his neck sting, and the man in black said, "My lord, don't shout, everyone in your yard has been knocked unconscious. .”

"What do you want?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill the prince today, otherwise you won't live to open your eyes."

King Anton was relieved when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he was angry and scared when he heard the second half, because what the man in black said was true, the other party wanted his life, and he had died just now.

In fact, Ling Tian also took advantage of the loophole. If he was on the opponent's territory, he thought it would not be so easy to get close to King Anton.

"My lord, do you know why the emperor wants you to stay in the capital?"

King Anton went to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, just to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday, and has been stranded in the capital for half a year.

"why?"

"The magistrates of Yandu, Moling, Xuyi and other counties, together with the prefect of Dongyang County, stole granaries privately and exchanged old grain with sand and gravel for new grain. When floods hit the southeast, tens of thousands of people starved to death...Dongyang County was under the rule of the prince, the prince Shouldn't you say that you don't know?"

"What?" King Anton was taken aback, "Ben, I really don't know."

"But this account book doesn't say that." Ling Tian casually took out an account book and threw it on King An Dong, "Half of the money they were greedy for ink went into the prince's pocket."

King Anton didn't care about the sharp sword under his neck anymore. He grabbed the account book and opened it.He did take the money that his subordinates filially respected, but he did not know about the corruption of ink.

But if you say it now, who will believe it?

King Anton grabbed the booklet in his hand, "Where did you get this account book?"

Ling Tian deliberately retracted it in front of him, "It doesn't matter where the account book came from, the key is that the emperor has long wanted to clean up the four kings with different surnames, when the prince questioned me here, the spy in charge of the investigation is probably already on his way back gone."

The emperor wanted to take care of the four kings with different surnames. Of course, King Anton believed that Dingnan Palace, which had settled in Yanjing for many years, was a good example.Without the emperor's handwriting, the Dingnan Palace would not have collapsed like this. At the beginning of the year, a decree was issued to punish Dingnan King. Not long after, the son of Dingnan Prince became a wanted criminal again. King Anton didn't think it would be such a coincidence.

"If the prince needs help, my master may be able to help you."

"Who is your master?"

"Tomorrow at noon, Drunken Immortal Tower." The man in black said mysteriously downstairs, and jumped out of the window, joining other men in black in the courtyard, and quickly disappeared into the night.

King An Dong was surprised to see so many men in black, all of whom were as good as the guards of the Forbidden Palace.Who is the master of these men in black, King Lu, King Jing, or King Duan?

But he never thought that this powerful and mysterious mastermind behind the scenes would be the nameless Ninth Prince?

Murong Bai took a sip of the tea and smiled slightly, "Your Highness seems surprised?"

He lowered his eyes and shook his teacup leisurely, "Who said that the blood of a foreign race cannot inherit the great lineage? This prince wants to try it. It must be very interesting to see those old-fashioned courtiers and courtiers who are not reconciled and have to submit to me." .”

King Anton glanced at the row of black-clothed guards behind him, only to feel numbness in his back.The posture of the Ninth Prince really doesn't look like a joke, and no prince would dare to make such a joke!

"My lord, sit down, what are you doing standing?"

King An Dong sat down according to his words, and said in a deliberate tone, "The man in black said last night that the Ninth Prince can help his subjects?"

With the deadly evidence in their hands, King Anton didn't dare to rely on his old man to sell his old man, and even changed his self-proclaimed name.

"It's a trivial matter, as long as the prince speaks, this prince will send people to intercept and kill those spies." Murong Bai waved his hand casually, feeling like he was joking.

"..." King Anton was suffocated, and seemed to grasp the point, "The Ninth Prince seems to know the identity of the spy very well?"

"Of course, those who do great things don't have many hidden stakes under their hands." Murong Bai moved closer here, with a half-smile on his Qingjun face, "I also know the hidden stakes of the prince in the palace."

As he spoke, he casually named a few names, all of which were King Anton's most important eyeliner, the kind that he dared not use easily.

To say that the identity of the original owner is really useful, the memory of the two lifetimes, how many things the emperor has in his hands, Ling Tian only has a lot more than him.

King Anton's heart is really turbulent now, the other party even knows this kind of secret, how many people have they gathered in private?How big is the power behind it?When the other party really succeeds, will he still think that the Ninth Prince is joking?

King Anton lowered his eyelids, but he didn't dare to agree easily, because once he agreed, he would be on the same boat as the other party.

Before leaving, the Ninth Prince reminded with a smile, "Your Highness, you'd better hurry up, after all, the spies from the palace will come to Beijing soon, and it's only a few days away."

Hearing this tone, he even knew the spy's route back to Beijing, and there was very likely an intelligence network.

King Anton took a deep breath, and when he went downstairs, he ran into Li Zheng, the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division who had been invited.

The two passed by each other without expressing anything, but the shock in their hearts was the same——

Even King Anton/Deputy Commander has joined the Ninth Prince? !

Is it too late for him to pretend to be stupid when he bumps into this secret, and will he be silenced?

It happened that Lu Si, played by Lu Yi, was standing at the stairs to greet people, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, he greeted with a smile, "Commander Li is here? Please go upstairs."

Li Zheng took a deep breath and went upstairs with a feeling of apprehension.And King Anton went back and thought about it for a day and a night, and soon he took refuge in the Ninth Prince, and to show his sincerity, he also contributed most of his assets in the capital.

And with Li Zheng's help, Ling Tian went out of the city to intercept and kill the spies very smoothly. Those people had all stayed under the original owner's hands, and he was very clear about their behavior habits and martial arts methods.

Li Zheng stood at the gate of the city, watching Ling Yi and his party who came back in disguise, even though he didn't see anything, he could still smell the blood on their bodies.

"who?"

At a critical moment, the commander suddenly appeared, and his cronies saw Ling Tian and the others being let go by Li Zheng, so they deliberately found fault and questioned them.

Li Zheng was startled, and he unconsciously clenched the handle of the knife with his right hand, fearing that Ling Yi and the others would violently kill people, so he could only cooperate to silence them.Of course, at the mouth of Commander Mie, the Ninth Prince gave him a condition that he could not refuse. For revenge and future, he had no choice but to fight.

Ling Tian hunched over and deliberately smiled obsequiously, "My lord, we are pig dealers from nearby, and we came to the city to deliver pigs."

They had already disguised themselves, wearing patched short jackets, and in groups of two, carried fat pigs into the city with bamboo poles to cover up the smell of blood after the murder.

The commander and his cronies held their noses, completely oblivious to the fact that the dirty and smelly farmer in front of him was the "wild species" they were searching for.

Before the commander could speak, the thief under him impatiently said, "Go, go, don't block the gate of the city, it stinks!"

"Yes, yes." Ling Tian and the others nodded and bowed, carried the fat pig on the bamboo pole, and quickly disappeared at the intersection of the street with their feet like the wind.

The commander glanced at Li Zheng, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Li Zheng bowed his head respectfully, "Xiaozhi stayed here all day and didn't find anything unusual."

Neither of them noticed that the "abnormality" they were looking for had already fled away in a grandiose way with the fat pig.It's also because Ling Tian's disguise is too good, Li Zheng has not discovered that Ling Yi, the secret guard of the Ninth Prince, is the former Dingnan Prince's son.

Dingnan Palace.

"How is it? Has the emperor approved the booklet for the canonization of the son?" asked Yu with concern.

Fu Yu was a little impatient, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

He can't go out, so asking someone to help with a passbook is already the limit, but there's no news for so long...

Fu Yu pondered for a while, "Perhaps the emperor thinks it's inconvenient for us now, and we will hear about it after we are filial piety?"

Hearing these words, Fu Mingyu, who looked expectant beside him, lowered his head in disappointment.

Yu Shi was also very disappointed, "Then what should we do? The mansion is already stretched..."

"Can't you secretly sell some small items, don't you women have a lot of jewelry? Just sell one or two pieces to get through this period of time."

As for the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, they have long been squandered by him as gifts and pawns.

For wealthy families like them, it is impossible to rely on selling servants to collect expenses. Once or twice is fine, but if there are too many times, rumors about the ruins of the palace will spread wildly outside.Although Fu Yu is not stingy, he still wants to save face. Besides, his reputation is too bad, the emperor is afraid that he will issue another order...

Zhong Xianya originally wanted to survive the three-year filial piety period before reconciling, but she didn't expect Mrs. Yu to take the ledger and key and want to hand over the palace's money to her!
