Chapter 143: The capital is full of saliva and storms

The next night, Lin Chen, Zhao Shuang'er, Zhao Feng and Li Qiaoshou walked out of the ghost city gate together. By the river, Zhao Muzhou's hut was lit up and festive.

"Brother Zhao, congratulations. When Lin Chen saw Zhao Muzhou, he immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.

"Oh, it's Brother Lin, come on, come on, be happy today, you must have a few more drinks. Zhao Muzhou happily took Lin Chen's hand and walked inside.

Zhao Chong and Li Juan were busy preparing the banquet in the house, and when they saw Lin Chen and others coming, they also stepped forward to say hello.

"It's a pity that Dad didn't come back. Li Juan looked disappointed.

"Li Bo has too many things, I guess I won't be able to pull away for a while. Lin Chen said, but he thought in his heart, if you let the prison king go out to drink your family's wine, would others dare to eat.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhao Muzhou didn't drink less, and during the banquet, he took Lin Chen's hand vigorously, and said words of thanks, saying that if it weren't for Lin Chen, Ah Chong and Qiaoshou wouldn't know how much trouble they would have caused.

"Brother Zhao, you are too polite, in fact, even if I don't go, as Li Bo, I will never let Ah Chong and skillful hands be injured. Lin Chen was also happy and chatted with Zhao Muzhou.

"Yes, who would have thought that Brother Li would be able to work as an errand in the underworld, and he is also a big official. Shuang'er and Ah Feng are taken care of by Brother Li, and I am also relieved. In-laws, haha......" Zhao Muzhou said as he drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand.

"Dad, you just want me to marry a little farther. Zhao Shuang'er said.

"Ah, Shuang'er, when did you get married?" Zhao Muzhou asked.

"Dad, what do you say?" Zhao Shuang'er blushed with shame.

A night of wine and meat washed away some of the boredom in Lin Chen's heart. Du Xian and Yang Ping both died in the chaotic battle, and after their consciousness returned to their bodies, they both turned into a pile of white bones. Wu Qiuyan unexpectedly survived, but he was already an old dragon.

Zhao Shuang'er and Ah Feng also recovered their bodies, but they insisted on staying and giving Wu Qiuyan a pension. And Li Qiaoshou chose where Zhao Shuang'er took root, but he was much more distant from the father of the prison king.

Lu Bufan chose to go back to the cottage, while He You chose to stay in the ghost prison, because Gu Shaoshan and Gu Lan also stayed.

In today's ghost prison, the number of ghosts, trolls, and "ghosts" has decreased by half compared to before, but there are many more living people in the ghost prison, and they are all people who choose to continue to live in the ghost prison after being resurrected. And the reason why such a small half of the ghosts can still be left is that most of them were suppressed by the trolls in the ghost town after escaping from the Prison of Innocence to the Endless Prison during the riot that day.

The Hell has a new management system, and most of the living have moved to the Hell of No Regrets, because it can be on fire. The prison of no defense has become a pasture, where many cattle and sheep are raised. The Prison of Innocence has become a paradise for ghosts and trolls, whose main job is to live on an equal footing with the ghosts of this level, and in Lieber's words, to learn the law of order through their playful games.

The hills, the flowing water, the shade of the trees, the rocks, the small town, feeling the joy of the ghost prison spirit, Gulan sat at the exit of the selfless prison, looking at the distance alone in a daze.

When Lin Chen woke up, it was almost noon on the second day, and Li Qiaoshou, Zhao Feng, and Zhao Shuang'er had already returned to the ghost prison. The newlyweds Zhao Chong and Li Juan got up early and heated up yesterday's meal.

In the afternoon, Lin Chen went to the tailor shop and took away a few sets of clothes that had already been made. Back at the ferry, Lin Chen hurriedly changed into a set of clean clothes, and let Zhao Muzhou hold the boat to the opposite shore. Along the way, Zhao Muzhou was chattering about the children when they were young, while Lin Chen was groggy and almost fell asleep again.

Bidding farewell to Brother Zhao, Lin Chen went all the way to the capital of Shangguo. And the news he heard along the way made Lin Chen feel as wonderful as watching a movie.

The crown prince was deposed, and the third prince was made the new prince of the country. However, the courtiers were furious, because the sources of evidence published were too inferior, and they were all from royal agents. You must know that this kind of spy-like organization has long been shouted and beaten by everyone in Shangguo.

If the emperor wants to consolidate his absolute rule, he will inevitably install some eyes and ears, and call them secret agents. All you can do is some surveillance, voyeurism, and assassination. The capital also gave these secret agents a lot of nicknames, "picking up the wall" and "slipping away from the wall". The so-called "picking up the wall" means that these people like to pick up the courtyard wall of other people's houses and peep inside, and sneaking away means that these people like to walk along the wall and eavesdrop on the conversations of the people in the house.

But no matter what kind of title it is, it all reveals the disgust of the people in the capital for these people. The crown prince fell into the hands of these people, and the ministers naturally could not accept it. Protests, joint petitions, and boycotts of the dynasty have become lively in the capital.

And the emperor was also very helpless, he knew that the leak of the news was in the hands of Ding Kangshun's idiot, and he actually took the initiative to find someone in the official face to make a move, which was simply stupid to the extreme. But the emperor had nothing to say about this, because he also knew that with Ding Kangshun's report after his return, the scene at that time could no longer allow for going back and forth to give orders. If you want to blame, you can only blame this matter for falling into the hands of people like Lu Xuansu.

Of course, the emperor likes upright officials, but the emperor doesn't like officials who are upright to himself, and Lu Xuansu is such a person. However, the so-called law does not blame the public, the matter has leaked out, and you can't blame an official who tells the truth, not only can you not punish it, but you also have to be rewarded, which makes the emperor very unhappy.

Originally, when it was impossible to even abolish the crown prince, the appearance of one person completely disrupted the reproach of the ministers to the emperor. This person is the emperor's sister, Princess Yuzhen, who has disappeared for more than twenty years. No one knows where she has gone all these years, but according to him, she has been held by the crown prince. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, whether the prince's rebellion was true or not, but the fact that his aunt had been under house arrest for many years made it impossible for people to argue for him, because it was his aunt who came out to identify the prince.

What is worthy of Lin Chen's attention is that it was Meng Qingwu who protected Princess Yuzhen from meeting the emperor, Lin Chen guessed that there must be many twists and turns, and Qi Hua must have been connected with Meng Qingwu.

And the ministers who have lost their goals are still unrelenting, because what they want to oppose is fundamentally the spy system and surveillance. If the reserve is not guaranteed, the wind direction of the ministers will simply become attacking the three princes. Even if the third prince had just done something to benefit the people, he still couldn't extinguish the anger of the ministers.

Young and impulsive, strong and competitive, using soldiers privately, losing soldiers and losing generals...... This article is conclusive. And the third prince can't refute it, because what they say is not wrong.

Lin Chen saw Meng Qingwu outside a long pavilion in front of the south gate of the capital, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him for a long time, and behind Meng Qingwu were Qi Hua, Zhang Xiaoli, and a woman. Although Lin Chen has never seen this woman, he has seen her portrait, this person is Zhang Xiaoli's mother Hu Ling, of course, her real name should be Qi Shuang.

"Master!" Zhang Xiaoli was the first to rush into Lin Chen's arms, that day by the reverse river, if it wasn't for Meng Qingwu to knock her out, this little girl might really dare to run back. She has always felt very guilty, thinking that Lin Chen was the one who offended because she helped her find her mother.

"What are you crying about, isn't Master so decent. Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Master, Xiao Li doesn't cry, look, I found my mother. Zhang Xiaoli pulled Lin Chen and introduced, "This is my mother." ”

Lin Chen and Qi Shuang nodded.

Qi Hua handed over a token, which was the piece of water god order that Lin Chen handed over to him that day.

"Little Brother Lin, at that time, for the sake of multiple hole cards, I had to return the token as a last resort, please forgive me. ”

Lin Chen waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have already vented my anger with you, and you can be regarded as living again, I hope you will cherish it in the future." ”

Qi Hua knew that what Lin Chen said was something in the ghost prison, but this matter was top secret, so he just nodded and didn't say anything again.

"You're not a little daring!" the others all stepped aside when they heard Dream Dance's words.

"Uh...... I also wanted to cross the river that day, but there was some small accident. Saying that, Lin Chen summoned the water god fury.

Meng Qingwu looked at the spear that suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's hand, and was stunned for a while, she had naturally seen this gun, but the way it appeared this time was too weird.

Next, Lin Chen and Meng Qingwu simply sat on the ground, and Lin Chen told Meng Qingwu what he had seen and heard these days and some speculations back then, causing Meng Qingwu to exclaim and sigh from time to time.

And Meng Qingwu also told Lin Chen how he met the guards of the Three Princes, how he placed the villagers of Gujing Village on the two tributaries drawn out on the edge of Kongjing Mountain, how he helped Qi Hua rescue Princess Yuzhen and Qi Shuang, and how he recognized his relatives with the emperor. Dream Light Dance recognizes her relatives for the sake of the dreamer who is far away in Koike County, and she believes that from now on, Wang Hai, the bastard in Koike County, will never have the courage to fight the dreamer's idea again.

Half a day passed in such a hurry.
