King Rong's mood these days was originally very good, his people lurking in Jiangzhou have already moved, and several key positions in the Jiangzhou army have been firmly grasped in his hands, and a few days later, it will be Princess Rena of the Western Regions to recruit relatives, and the young Junyan under his command has also been prepared, just waiting to take the Western Regions for his own use.

Now that Li Tai has been eliminated and Jiangzhou has been taken, it is impossible to ease the relationship with the Hou Party, and King Rong has let his subordinates act secretly, preparing to encroach on and disintegrate the power of Empress Dowager Xuanshu step by step.

Jiangzhou, as Lin Mo said, and Zhangzhou across the river, can be said to be a dangerous city that can be attacked and defended, and it is the primary pass for the northern vassal states to enter the royal fiefdom, with the help of Lin Mo, there are not many Jiangzhou, King Rong has already woken up from a dream laughing many times, and laughed at the Empress Dowager Xuanshu and Xuanshu many times.

But what King Rong didn't expect was that the laughing people laughed at him, and he was proud for not many days, and a trouble fell heavily on his body, although the situation was not so serious, but it was enough to make his head as big as a fight, and he was no longer in the mood to watch the jokes of the people in the back party.

"Your Highness! Your Royal Highness King Rong! Please, my family is such a boy, you must find a way to save him!

After Cao Yuan's son Cao Yan killed Jian Ying, the son of Jian Wencheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, although he successfully escaped back to his home under the escort of two guards, what kind of person Jian Wencheng is, he participated in this matter in front of the emperor this morning.

Cao Yan killed Jian Wencheng not only many people saw it, but even Zhenyuan Bohou Ping also saw it, in order to prevent the two sides from fighting, the guards he brought were also killed and wounded, so many people died in the Phantom Music Workshop at once, and one was the son of the doctor of the military department, this matter has already caused a storm in the city, and this matter is already ironclad evidence.

The matter has come to the front of the emperor, and now the whole city is talking about this matter, Cao Yuan has no choice but to hand over Cao Yan, and he is locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department at the moment, but fortunately, Meng Yan, the doctor of the Criminal Department, is his own person, and he did not make Cao Yan much difficult.

Cao Yan's matter has been sentenced, and he will be beheaded after the beginning of spring.

Although he has the intention to save Cao Yan, Cao Yan's matter is a certainty, the people of the Hou Party are staring at him, and the people are also looking at him, King Rong is also powerless, but how can Cao Yuan be willing to kill his son, even if he comes to ask King Rong to find a way.

Cao Yuan, the head doctor of the household department, was in the prime of life, and every year he unknowingly brought a lot of silver to King Rong, so that King Rong could unconsciously cultivate a lot of useful people, and also supported a private army.

Cao Yuan is simply King Rong's most beloved cornucopia, and it can be said that he is the man of King Rong's limbs, so King Rong does not dare to ignore it, so he has to face it.

The incident happened in the Phantom Moon Square on Shihua Street, where Xu Qiuniang also arranged a lot of spies and henchmen, and soon the details of the murder were reported to King Rong.

As soon as he heard that it was a person who was killed in front of everyone, even Zhen Yuanbo's people had killed a lot, and it was an ironclad case with a lot of human and physical evidence, King Rong couldn't help but be difficult, and paced in the room with a frown, with a gloomy face and did not speak.

According to the usual method in the past, King Rong sent the cultivators in the palace to kill the witnesses, but the number of people who witnessed it was too large to count, and it had already spread throughout the city, so naturally it would not work, so he was anxious in every way.

"His Royal Highness King Rong!" Cao Yan saw that King Rong's face was so gloomy that he didn't speak, and his heart was even more anxious, and he wiped a handful of tears, and the fat trembled and kowtowed, and said: "I know that I have no way to teach my son, and Yan'er has indeed caused a catastrophe, but I ask Your Highness to thank Your Highness for your dedication and loyalty to you for many years, and you are nearly fifty years old and only have this son, and Your Highness only asks Your Highness to save my son's life!"

King Rong glanced at him coldly, his heart was irritable, and he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth, but thinking that Cao Yuan had done a good job for himself over the years, Cao Yan was his dead end, and he was not angry.

Moreover, King Rong has always used the method of mercy to the people under his command, so he slowed down his voice and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Cao Yuan, how can you let this king say that you are good, Huanghuang Imperial Capital, how can your son act so arrogantly? If you kill a common person, it's just that!"

"But it was Jian Wencheng's son who was killed! Who is Jian Wencheng? The dignified doctor of the second-grade military department, the confidant of the Empress Dowager Xuanshu and the party, this matter has spread all over the imperial capital, so many eyes are staring at you and me, how do you want this king to help you?"

Cao Yuan knocked on the ground and cried: "Your Highness also knows that this matter is embarrassing for Your Highness, but Yan'er will be beheaded after the beginning of spring, Your Highness begs you, you must think of a way for your lower officials! ”

As soon as these words came out, King Rong immediately said slightly angrily: "You said it easily, now we are on the same page with Xuanshu's woman, she lost Jiangzhou, and now she will be willing to make peace?"

"Okay, even if that woman Xuanshu is willing to make peace with us, but what about Jian Wencheng? Jian Ying is also Jian Wencheng's only son, how can he be willing? Don't you see Jian Wencheng's attitude in the court today?"

Today's court is very lively, Cao Yan was sentenced to beheading, Jian Wencheng wanted to serve as the prison officer, and in front of the emperor and the ministers, he said directly to Cao Yuan: "Lord Cao, I will definitely return your son's head to you with my own hands." ”

Thinking of Jian Wencheng's extremely angry and fierce eyes, Cao Yuan's heart was shocked, and the fat on his body trembled again, followed by a wild kowtow: "His Royal Highness King Rong, you must save Yan'er" knocked out his head with blood.

Seeing Cao Yuan like this, King Rong sighed angrily in his heart, and personally helped him up, and said with relief: "Lord Cao, don't be so flustered, mess up your own inches, Ling Gongzi will not be beheaded immediately, there will definitely be a way." ”

King Rong's non-painful comfort, Cao Yuan was quite dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare not give King Rong face, so he immediately kept crying, and replied sadly: "It's a lowly job that messes up the square inch, please think more about Yan'er's matter, Your Highness, you will think more about it, and you will definitely do more for you in the future." ”

Cao Yuan is also an old fox, and the hidden meaning in these words is very clear, if my son and your King Rong can't keep it, then don't let me Cao Yuan not be so dedicated to your King Rong. Hearing the threatening meaning in Cao Yuan's words, King Rong promised: "Lord Cao, don't worry, you go back and rest for a few days first, I will definitely come up with a way for you to save Ling Gongzi's life before the beginning of spring." ”

"Then the lower official would like to thank His Royal Highness King Rong in advance, and the lower official will retire. After speaking, Cao Yuan didn't stay any longer, and after symbolically saluting King Rong, he immediately left King Rong's mansion.

Cao Yuan left, King Rong was instantly angry, grabbed a teacup on the table and slammed it on the ground, shattered to the ground, and shouted angrily: "He Cao Yuan dared to threaten this king, he is really angry with this king." ”

"Your Highness, why do you have to be so angry, take care of your health. Xu Qiuniang walked out from behind the velvet tent and walked towards King Rong with enchanting steps.

Seeing Xu Qiuniang coming out, the angry King Rong calmed down, sat on the low chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed her massage, sighed and said: "Alas, Qiu Niang, you also heard it in the back, how can this king not be angry, Cao Yuan, who is in charge of the household department, dares to threaten this king in words." ”

Saying that, King Rong hugged Xu Qiuniang into his arms, lowered his voice and said: "Qiu Niang, this household is very important to this king, Cao Yan's matter has become an iron case, this king has no choice, you have to help this king think of a way." ”

This concubine is considered half of her military advisor, and she has come up with a lot of good ideas for herself, but unexpectedly, this time Xu Qiuniang shook her head and gave herself a helpless idea: "Your Highness, you have no idea, what can the concubine do." ”

Seeing that Xu Qiuniang had no choice, King Rong's face immediately became solemn again: "Even you can't do anything? If I can't keep Cao Yan, then Cao Yuan's side will not be able to explain." ”

Xu Qiuniang suddenly laughed, nodded with her jade finger on King Rong's chest, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so confused? You forgot that there is a person with unparalleled wisdom in this imperial capital, you can go and ask him." ”

"That's right, Lin Ziyong is in the imperial capital. King Rong slapped his legs fiercely, and immediately kissed Xu Qiuniang with joy: "Look at this king, he is really confused, or Qiuniang is sober, this king is really more and more inseparable from you." ”

"Your Highness, you can't live without a concubine? Xu Qiuniang also giggled, and her chest trembled, if it weren't for King Rong going to Lin Mansion in a hurry, I'm afraid it wouldn't be like this.

Lin Fu Ketang.

With a worried face, King Rong hurriedly walked into the guest hall, Lin Mo tidied up the robe that had been a little wrinkled and messy by Tang Yunu, got up and greeted him with a smile: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Rong." ”

"Lin Shangqing doesn't have to be polite. King Rong smiled on his face and said politely, but when he looked up, Lin Mo's side face had the mark of a woman's red lips: "Lin Shangqing, I'm really sorry to disturb you and your wife's interest." ”

Seeing King Rong staring at his cheeks, Lin Mo wiped his face with his hand, and when he saw that his upper fingers were stained with red marks, he hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, let His Royal Highness King Rong smile." ”

Finding that it was the red lip grease that was not easy to wipe clean, Lin Mo secretly groaned in his heart: It must be Tang Yunu's beautiful girl on purpose, you must teach her a good lesson when you turn around, and whip her hard.

"It's okay, it's okay, Lin Shangqing is a person of temperament, very good, very good. King Rong waved his hand indifferently.

Now that Lin Mansion has a beautiful wife and concubine, plus Lin Mo is only twenty-three, when he is young and vigorous, it is normal to be obsessed with beauty, not to mention, for King Rong, Lin Mo's lust is a good thing, so that King Rong can better recruit him, and even master him.

After the two of them sat down, the maid in the house hurriedly served two cups of hot tea and served on the side, King Rong saw that Lin Mo was not Liu Ruoshui next to him, so he immediately asked: "Eh, this king remembers that Lin Shangqing loves a beautiful maid named Liu Ruoshui very much, why didn't I see her come out to serve today?"

Liu Ruoshui is a chess piece that he placed next to Lin Mo, and he would report Lin Mo's detailed whereabouts to himself every day a few days ago, but in the past few days, he suddenly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.

Lin Mo took a sip of hot tea, brought up an extremely ashamed face and said: "Don't hide it, Ruoshui looks very cute, but it lacks a little style, so I sent her to Zuisheng Building and was taught by the proprietress there." ”

"So that's the case, Lin Shangqing is really high-spirited. King Rong said with a hearty smile, but he was relieved in his heart, this Liu Ruoshui was sent to Zuishenglou, King Rong received Liu Ruoshui's report, and the reason why he asked this question was just to test Lin Mo's tone.

Lin Mo replied with a smile on his face: "Let His Royal Highness King Rong see you smile!" But he said in his heart: Test my tone? It's a pity, you put Liu Ruoshui next to me, but she was dead set on me, and she almost had a baby in the same room.

Liu Ruoshui was mentioned, Lin Mo felt that he missed her more and more, and in recent days, for some reason, Lin Mo only felt that he was thinking more and more about that girl, like a demon, more and more concerned about her, feeling like something was missing, and he couldn't wait to hold her in his arms, so that he could be intimate.

Could it be the reason for Mei Xiang? Lin Mo secretly thought to himself like this, but Bai Yu had also used Mei Xiang on himself, and it didn't have such an impact? This made him very puzzled.

Suppressing his longing for Liu Ruoshui for the time being, Lin Mo took a sip of refreshing tea and asked lightly: "His Royal Highness King Rong, when I saw you coming, I had a worried face, I don't know what worries you are?" Maybe I can share your worries in the next place." ”

King Rong was waiting for Lin Mo to take the initiative to ask, and now that he asked, he immediately "sighed" and said, "You must know about Lin Shangqing, right?"

"I've heard of it. Lin Mo nodded, and suddenly smiled: "It's not a secret, just now Xuan Shangqing came to question him in a crown suit, saying that the Phantom Music Workshop was arranged in the next hand, and he was just sent away by me." ”

"Why is that?" said King Rong's face with a slight look of surprise.

Listening to his spies, Xuanyuan came to the Lin Mansion after the early dynasty, and King Rong was also a little suspicious for a while that it was arranged by Lin Mo, but now that Lin Mo took the initiative to talk about it, he completely dispelled his suspicions.

Lin Mo shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's because I sent Ruoshui to Zuisheng Building, and when the death case occurred in the Phantom Music Workshop, Tang Yunu was also there, and he stayed in my Lin Mansion for one night before, so he suspected me." ”

"That Xuanyuan is really confused. King Rong took a sip of tea and smiled contemptuously: "Not to mention that Lin Shangqing invited the proprietress of Zuishenglou to live for Liu Ruoshui, besides, even if the proprietress of Zuishenglou and Lin Shangqing have any intimate relationship, the proprietress of Zuishenglou only persuaded Cao Yan that day, how can you suspect Lin Shangqing, Xuanyuan is really confused." ”

King Rong is very confident in his secret agents, and he is even more convinced of the information they sent, but this also happens to be one of his fatal shortcomings, just at this moment.

However, King Rong is right in saying one sentence, Tang Yunu is really close to Lin Mo, and it is also the kind of intimacy that can be seen sincerely and without concealment. It's a pity that King Rong didn't know about this, and he didn't know that Tang Yunu was a cultivator of the Semi-Saint Realm.

"It's still His Royal Highness King Rong, you know what's next. Lin Mo flattered him with a compliment on his face, but he laughed very rampantly in his heart: You don't know yet, just now Tang Yunu is still in my arms, and he is coquettish with me.

King Rong nodded and continued: "Since Lin Shangqing already knows about this, this king will not repeat it, and now that Cao Yan has been sentenced to be beheaded after the beginning of spring, I wonder if Lin Shangqing can save his life?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo's eyebrows immediately twisted together, and his eyebrows were even deeper, King Rong raised his eyes and saw that the rumored Mo Sect Master with unparalleled wisdom was also like that, and his heart couldn't help but become nervous.

After about a cup of tea, Lin Mo let out a long breath, took a sip of tea, and said with a serious expression: "The trouble that Gongzi Cao Yan broke into this time is really too big, His Royal Highness King Rong really wants to protect him?"

"This king naturally knows. King Rong sighed faintly: "But Lin Shangqing, you know, Cao Yan is Cao Yuan's only son, if you don't save Cao Yan's life, I'm afraid that Cao Yuan will be dissatisfied. ”

Which of the six departments of the Ministry of Household Rites and Military Punishment is the most important, and it is naturally this household department, which has mastered the national tax revenue, and if it has mastered the household department, it can be said that it has mastered the big dry money, and if it is lost, it is a big bad thing.

Lin Mo stretched out his hand and tapped on the tabletop, which became a frequency with the beating rate of his heart, and said faintly: "The only plan for now, there is only one idea in the future, change prisoners, find someone similar to Cao Yan, and send Cao Yan to death for him." ”

"What, change to death row prisoner?" King Rong immediately couldn't sit still: "Lin Shangqing, do you know what you're talking about? This is an extremely dangerous move, how many pairs of eyes are staring at this king now, if you are not careful, this king's criminal department will also get in." ”

Lin Mowan smiled and said lightly: "Then there is really no way to do it, Your Highness, you also know that Cao Yan's case is ironclad evidence, and no matter how capable you are, it is impossible to overturn the case!"

Listening to Lin Mo's words, King Rong suppressed his emotions and calmed down: "Lin Shangqing really has no other way? ”

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, if you want to save Cao Yan's life, you have to take this risk, and after rescuing Cao Yan, he will never appear in the eyes of the world." ”

"This ......," King Rong was silent, not knowing how to answer.

Just when King Rong hesitated and couldn't make a decision, Lin Mo spoke again: "His Royal Highness King Rong, in fact, there is another plan in the future, I don't know if you want to hear it?"

"Naturally, I want to hear it. Hearing that Lin Mo still had a plan, King Rong was overjoyed again.

Lin Mo patted himself on the shoulder, motioned to the maid behind him to massage himself, and then smiled coldly, "Your Highness, I know that you are worried that Cao Yuan is in charge of the household department, so you have to find a way to save Cao Yan, so why don't you remove Cao Yuan from the position of household doctor and replace it with someone else from yours?"

"This ......" King Rong was stunned, and after being silent for a while, he said lightly: "Actually, what Lin Shangqing said, this king has not thought about it, but Cao Yuan has a deep foundation in the household department, and if you want to move him, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"There is a plan below that can help His Royal Highness King Rong take down Cao Yuan. ”

Lin Mo leaned over and whispered in King Rong's ear, and after a while, King Rong's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he asked in a low voice with great hesitation: "Lin Shangqing, can this work? Will this be ......?"

Lin Mo smiled faintly: "His Royal Highness King Rong, as you know, doing anything is to take risks or pay a price, want to have the best of both worlds, I am afraid that such things are very rare, of course, the final decision, you have to take the idea." ”

"This ...... , Alas...... "King Rong suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and after being silent for a while again, he said goodbye to Lin Mo and left here, and when he left, his mind was doing a fierce struggle.

King Rong left, Tang Yunu walked into the guest hall with graceful steps, and then sat directly in Lin Mo's arms, his hands consciously wrapped around Lin Mo's neck, and the two maidservants also walked away with interest.

Sitting in Lin Mo's arms, Tang Yunu raised his red lips, once again stamped a stamp on Lin Mo's side face, and said coquettishly: "Lin Lang, you are really bad, the idea you gave to King Rong is really insidious." ”

Where is the insidiousness?

If Cao Yan is saved, then there is only one way to exchange death row prisoners, then King Rong will have to gamble with the two criminal households; if he does not save Cao Yuan and chooses to take out Cao Yuan, then it is difficult to say the hearts of those courtiers under King Rong.

Seeing that Tang Yunu dared to tease him, Lin Mo pinched Tang Yunu's face and changed the topic: "Tang Yunu is not very bold, do you know that this kind of lip grease of yours can't be washed off easily." ”

Tang Yunu snorted, but raised his head and kissed Lin Mo again on the other side of his face, leaving a red lip print, and then asked, "Lin Lang, you say, which one will King Rong choose?"

"Then how do I know, look at himself, don't mention this first, you made me ugly in front of King Rong, how can this account be calculated?" As he spoke, Lin Mo suddenly smiled evilly, hooking Tang Yunu's delicate chin.

"Got it, the slave family will definitely compensate Lin Lang for you. Tang Yunu understood Lin Mo's thoughts, so without saying a word, he sat up straight, raised his lips, and kissed Lin Mo's lips......
