Chapter 143: Sleeping Crane: It Seems to ...... Overscared...

Clearing his throat, Sheng Sleeping Crane immediately said: "Good girl, do you say that this has something to do with the opportunity you fought for me in front of the Queen Mother? Yesterday, Uncle Tu Shi specifically told us that the quota of the Mingke Hanlin Academy had already been divided between King Gaomi and the Meng family. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info We suddenly intervened like this, how can no one have an opinion?"

Sheng Weiqiao was guided, and immediately thought about it along this line of thought, and said solemnly: "Someone doesn't want you to get a good ranking, so they took advantage of Sheng Xiang's opportunity to find a house and set up such a bureau to harm you?"

This is a very likely thing, according to the information provided by Tu Ruchuan, long before the Sheng family arrived in Chang'an, King Gaomi and the Meng family had already reached a unanimous agreement on the number of places to be selected for the Hanlin Academy in the coming year.

Not to mention what kind of battle King Gaomi and the Meng clan had in private, just to say that those scholars who were supported by them and were condemned must have paid a price - not only themselves, but also their families, it is estimated that they have also shown enough sincerity to appease the objections of their allies, after all, with the current momentum of King Gaomi and the Meng clan, there are definitely a lot of scholars under their respective commands who need to be taken care of.

From the perspective of these people, they finally defeated many allies, and finally forced their political enemies to compromise, so that they could get the tacit approval of being selected for the Hanlin Academy.

As a result, the brothers and sisters of the Sheng family intervened sideways, using the matter of Bishui County, and if they were euphemistically forcing the imperial court to choose between face and focusing on cultivating Sheng Sleeping Crane!

According to the court's consistent face-saving style, it is very likely to choose the latter - this means that the originally promised quota will inevitably be squeezed out!

It also means that many people's rankings have to be taken back one place!

How can they be willing?

These people, no matter what their background was in the past, whether they had power or not, now they are either relying on King Gaomi or the Meng family, and after hating Sheng Sleeping Crane, how can they only curse a few words behind their backs?

Sheng Weiqiao thought of this, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, grabbed Sheng Sleeping Crane's wrist, and said, "Brother, do you think they will ...... you without doing anything?"

With a gesture of cutting off her head, the girl's face turned slightly pale, "When the time comes, I will say to the outside world that you are only blessed...... Wouldn't this not only use the idea you gave to Bishui County, but also give you no benefit?!"

"You said the events of the day in public in the side hall of Xinshou Palace. Sheng Sleeping Crane thought badly, as if he had scared this girl too much, and hurriedly reassured, "Now I'm afraid that it has already spread out--so, now our brother and sister must be targeted by many people, both openly and secretly! In this case, how can it be so easy to attack me? After all, King Gaomi and the Meng clan are holding each other back, don't they just dare to act rashly?"

Sheng Weiqiao said worriedly: "You said it easily! You don't look at the eighth son of Meng Bagong, that is Zheng Guogong's beloved son, the queen mother's nephew, and the cousin of today's son! It's not that one night has passed in Bishui County, and it has disappeared inexplicably, and there is no news until now -- eighty percent has already had an accident!"

"And the little prince of King Gaomi, is still a clan! The nephew of the Son of Heaven, according to Uncle Tu Shishu, he almost became the prince, why wasn't he seriously injured and carried back to Chang'an?! Listening to Miss Zhao Er's meaning, it is a question whether he can stand up in this life!"

"Which of these two people who protect them in terms of identity, status, and protection is not better than us?"

"They can all have an accident, you ...... You ......" Sheng Weiqiao bit her lip, a face of heaven and man fighting, after a while, she finally made up her mind, let go of the hand that grabbed Sheng Sleeping Crane's wrist, patted a few times, gritted her teeth and said, "Otherwise, let's move back to Ningwei Hou's Mansion to live?" The guards of the Hou's Mansion are all Xu Shishu's personal guards when he fought in the northern Xinjiang in the past, and they have all seen blood, which is not comparable to the group of nursing homes we brought! Let's go there, it's safer!"

"No!!!" Sheng Shenghe immediately vetoed, what kind of joke is he making? He finally persuaded Sheng Weiqiao to move out of Ningweihou's Mansion, and now whenever he shouts, he can let this girl talk alone in front of him, and when he is usually in a good mood, he can make a joke and touch his head or something, it is very free--if this is in Ningweihou's Mansion, how can Xu Zijing and his wife give them such frequent and close contact opportunities?

Not to mention that there is still a Xu family in Ningweihou Mansion who is trying to match Xu Baomo with Sheng Weiqiao!

In view of these two points, not to mention that now Sheng Sleeping Crane deliberately guided Sheng Weiqiao to Aunt Zhao with ulterior motives in order to get out, that is, he is really under the threat of assassination now, and it is impossible for him to go back to Ningwei Hou's Mansion to be sheltered!

He thought about it quickly, and said, "Good girl, don't be anxious, first of all, you know my details, I won't tell you, I came to Chang'an this time, as a boatman, I also brought several henchmen, all of whom were arms who followed me across the sea back then, in terms of credibility, tacit understanding, and assassination experience, they are much more comprehensive than those of Uncle Xu Shi's personal guards!"

"Secondly, if we move back to the Ningwei Hou Mansion, in case someone really wants to attack me and affect the people of the Hou Mansion, how can we bear it?"

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's face moved, he narrowed his eyes and added, "Third, and most importantly, Xu Caikui's attitude towards you that day, I didn't kill her, even if I didn't kill her, how could I let you turn around and beg her for me?! Don't mention this matter again, I will never agree!"

"Brother, now is not the time to worry about this!" However, Sheng Weiqiao was concerned about his safety at the moment, and he didn't notice the hidden affection in his words at all, let alone the deliberately aggravated tone when he said "third", and persuaded him bitterly, "Although I really don't want to see Xu Caikui again, I don't want to drag down the people of Ningweihou Mansion to have an accident......

After a brief silence, he gritted his teeth, "But the most important thing now is that you are safe and sound, and any expedient measure for this is possible!!"

Even if it is against her consistent moral concept, let the Ningwei Hou Mansion of the world friend be a shield for Sheng Sleeping Crane - so she just doesn't want to see Xu Caikui who gave her a huge humiliation, and she doesn't have much resentment, because between her own people and the emotionally alienated world friend, her choice is the same as Xu Caikui.

- Well, Lao Tzu hoped that this girl would be moved, but she was not moved, but Lao Tzu was moved...... Sheng Sleeping Crane thought to himself: "What is Lao Tzu going to do now?"

After thinking about it quickly, he finally had a clue, coughed dryly, and said: "Good girl, you think that someone will use assassination to deal with me, this is just a speculation, it has not been confirmed, and it may not be true!"

Raising his hand and pressing it, he motioned to Sheng Weiqiao not to interrupt his words, "But what is in front of me now is that there is already a conspiracy unfolding against me - it is this Aunt Zhao!"

"Do you think, you just gave me a countermeasure to calm the matter of Bishui County in front of the Queen Mother, if I am targeted by the Gaomi Palace, can the Meng clan not seize the opportunity to attack them?"

"So if the Gaomi Royal Mansion wants to check my followers, there must be a reasonable reason!"

"For example, it's like that Aunt Zhao today, she just looked at me and even you have to ask me repeatedly, let alone other people?"

"In this way, it is logical for her to send someone to Nanfeng County to investigate me thoroughly!"

When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, he asked puzzledly: "But brother, we just came to Chang'an, since Aunt Zhao has nothing to do with you, the so-called special attention to you, almost out of shape, if you just deliberately pretend, the picture is to find a pretense to go to Nanfeng County to check your details...... But how do they know your details?"

After all, the wife has no children, and the outer room that has been left behind is taken back to continue the bloodline - this kind of thing is not something that can be met twice in three days, but it is not impossible!

As for the fact that this outer room is still highly qualified, and it is expected to be named on the gold list at a young age, although this situation is rare, but there have been examples among many scholars throughout the ages: the former dynasty had a prime minister or the illegitimate son of a rich man and a prostitute, the same is not recognized by his father's family, abandoned on the side of the road, picked up and raised by a peasant couple, relying on excellent talent to eavesdrop on the lectures of Mr. Private School, and he was admitted to the top armor hard, and he was on the rise, and finally he was the official prime minister, and the scenery was infinite!

So Sheng Weiqiao really couldn't understand how sharp his eyes were in the Gaomi Palace, and he saw the Achilles heel of Sheng Sleeping Crane?

――In Nanfeng County, many people also think that Sheng Sleeping Crane grew up silently in the annex arranged by Sheng Lanci for more than ten years before recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors.

You must know that when Sheng Sleeping Crane shows people with "crow slaughter", he always wears a mask!

Occasionally, the henchmen of the Wuyi battalion will be dressed up as "crow slaughter" to confuse the enemy's ears and eyes.

Therefore, Sheng Sleeping Crane has been the eldest prince in Sheng Mansion for the past two years, and there have never been any rumors related to Tortoiseshell Island - this is Chang'an, which is thousands of miles away from Nanfeng County, and it has not been half a month since they arrived here, how can the Gaomi Royal Mansion be so powerful that they know that Sheng Sleeping Crane's heel has a problem?

Or is this prince with his hands and eyes open to the sky, and he knows the secrets of Nanfeng County far away?

How did Emperor Xuanjing, who accompanied the Shu sisters in the harem all day long, survive until now?

"Good girl, have you forgotten that old saying?" Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled faintly and said, "If you want to add to the crime, why do you have no excuse? Whether my heels can be checked is not a problem, the question is whether they want to find out the problem...... To put it mildly, if they really find out that I have a problem, of course it is best, and it is logical to blame me for the matter of Bishui County, so that this big case can be closed in a beautiful manner, and we will not be paid anything, otherwise the entire Sheng family will have a problem!"

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao's face turn pale all of a sudden, he immediately regretted it, thinking that it was too serious to say that the matter was too serious, but don't really scare the girl - but before he could come up with the wording of mediation, Sheng Weiqiao had already asked with a crying voice: "That...... What now?!"

- She was reminded by Sheng Sleeping Crane that she remembered that she didn't need the people of Gaomi Wangfu to exert their strength to "find problems", and this time I was afraid that it would not be good!

Because not only the details of Sheng Sleeping Crane can't be checked, but the details of the Sheng family's fortune are also forbidden to be checked, okay?!

Her father, Sheng Lanci, is a filial son commended by the imperial court and a five-grade official who gives advice to doctors, but he quickly became rich by selling stolen goods to bandits......

Sheng Weiqiao, who didn't do anything bad, focused on the experience of shirking responsibility after doing bad things was discovered, couldn't help but be in a mess, and had no idea, so he only subconsciously looked at Sheng Shenghe, counting on his ability to turn the tide?
