After some rearrangement, Tang Lang became an apprentice in the workshop again, and another person disguised himself as Zhang Shan to make purchases, and then returned to Chifang City.

Early in the morning, Tang Lang deliberately broke a set of expensive wine utensils that were about to be made, and was immediately scolded by the shopkeeper, and was kicked out of the door before even the salary was settled.

"You must find a place to live first, otherwise it is easy to be suspected of wandering on the street!" Tang Lang's current identity is a penniless workshop apprentice, and it is obviously impossible to go to the inn restaurant to rest, so he can only follow the street, asking if he wants to recruit workers one by one, and he is extremely miserable.

No matter how Tang Lang pleaded, none of the liquor shops were willing to take him in, and in the end, Tang Lang offered not to pay for his work, as long as he had food and accommodation, and only then did a shop take him in in the name of a helper.

The scale of this shop is not small, there are a large number of goods in and out every day, Tang Lang, as a helper, is constantly called and drunk, handling, warehousing, inventory and even the back kitchen are inseparable from his busy figure, until late at night, was led by a guy to live in a small cubicle full of various sundries next to the stable.

With his cultivation, this little bit of work during the day was nothing at all, Tang Lang cleaned up a half-lying position among the miscellaneous things, and began to plan his next plan.

According to the information provided by Zha Hongtu, Duan Hongyun, the Dark Flame Emperor, is in the prime of life, and there are four princes and two princesses under his knees, and the prince has not been confirmed, so the four princes are inevitably competing and fighting with each other, and the civil and military officials will also have some actions to stand in line.

"Well, if I attack this person, most of you will think that the eldest prince is the most suspicious, and if you want to frame the third prince, you need to ......" Tang Lang sketched a network of intertwined relationships in his mind, and he felt that it was not appropriate to think about it, and finally patted his head, "There is!"

"What do I think so much for! They are all wary of each other, and no matter which side I attack, it will not necessarily attract everyone's attention! It is better to find some unrelated target, which is more likely to arouse their mutual suspicion. ”

After the same joint, Tang Lang's thoughts suddenly became extremely active: "That's right, the Tianqing Imperial City is now in ruins, so let's just target all kinds of shops in the imperial capital, rob their property, and stir the imperial capital into a mess of troubled waters!"

Thinking of this, Tang Lang didn't waste any more time, released a stand-in, and slowly dived into the ground with two figures, one in front of the other, and fled into the distance......

The next day, just after dawn, Tang Lang's shop has begun to open for business, as a helper, he was called to all kinds of labor, usually in the last half an hour there will be merchants to buy and sell goods, but I have been waiting for more than an hour without business.

The shopkeeper felt strange, sent a guy out to inquire, and after a while, he hurriedly returned, bringing back an astonishing news, it turned out that more than ten shops in the imperial capital were patronized by thieves yesterday, and all the spars from the business were stolen, and the most unfortunate was a Danfang, not only the spars were stolen, but all the pills in the warehouse were gone.

Before the tea, a pair of imposing officials came to the shop to investigate the situation, and after learning that there was no loss, they asked if they had seen any suspicious people, especially those who had been wandering or looking around the shop the day before.

After learning that Tang Lang was a helper recruited only yesterday, he called him over for careful interrogation.

"There must be some conspiracy for anyone who works without pay!"

"Master, I'm a good person!" Tang Lang pretended to be frightened, and replied in a panic: "I used to be an apprentice in the pot shop, and yesterday I was fired by the shopkeeper for breaking the wine jug, and I didn't even have a penny on me, and the shopkeeper who is still here is kind, give me a place to live, or as long as I work hard, I will discuss the salary later, so I stayed!"

"Huzhenfang?" the official hesitated.

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "This official, this kid is right! I just took him in because he was pitiful, and the pot shop he said was a workshop specializing in making wine utensils a few streets away, and I sent someone to inquire yesterday that he did work there before!"

"Well! Since the store vouches for you, I believe that you are innocent! These days, you have all brightened my eyes for me, and if you look at any suspicious person, you must immediately report to the official! You dare to make trouble in the imperial capital, you are really impatient!"

The official looked at Tang Lang as timid and afraid, did not continue to investigate, casually gave a few words, and left with a scolding.

"It's all you, kid, who almost caused me a disaster! Why don't you go to work quickly, give me some sharpness with your hands and feet!" The shopkeeper turned his head and taught Tang Lang a lesson, although he felt angry, but the free labor sent to the door was reluctant to drive away, so he arranged more heavy work for Tang Lang to be more comfortable.

Tang Lang maintained his timid and fearful character, and he was constantly busy all day long, and other guys saw him as a bully, and they also threw him the dirty work at hand, and he didn't dare to refuse, and he was busy until late at night before going to rest.

This time Tang Lang did not act directly, but opened the system scanning interface to check carefully, after last night's theft, not only did the patrol on the street increase several times, but each shop also arranged people to keep vigil, it may be difficult to continue stealing.

Tang Lang's original plan was not to continue stealing the spars, after all, his purpose was to completely disrupt the order of the imperial capital, not simply to obtain property, so the target of this night was some ministers' mansions who had obvious dealings with the four princes.

The night passed, and all the shops in the imperial capital breathed a sigh of relief, and there was no sign of theft, but several servants or stewards in the minister's mansion were a little annoyed, they were inexplicably knocked unconscious last night, and when they woke up, they found that there was no loss, but they all lost some small items with the mansion mark.

In the next few days, there were frequent thefts in the entire imperial capital, and the objects of theft also expanded from shops to large families in the city, but no matter how strict the inspection was, no clues were found, and no one even saw the figure of the thief.

With the escalation of the situation, the senior officials of the imperial capital also began to pay attention to this matter, and all the arrest masters in the official palace were dispatched, and finally caught the whereabouts of the thief at one time, and after a struggle, although he escaped, a waist card fell out of the thief's body, which became an important clue.

"Framed, this is the lowest level of frame-making! Who dares to frame this prince? Could it be the boss?" The second prince, Duan Weizhi, was so angry that he slapped the case in front of him into several paragraphs with one palm.

The first official looked bitter, but he still reluctantly spoke: "Your Highness is angry! It's all because of the incompetence of his subordinates, and he was disgraced by someone sneaking into the mansion and stealing the waist card of the domestic servant!

"This matter has nothing to do with you! There must be someone who is deliberately trying to suppress me!" Duan Weizhi was furious when he thought that he was called by the Criminal Department for questioning during the day, which was a great insult to himself.

"Your Highness Mingying!" The official hurriedly said: "There have been bandits in various places before, and the imperial capital has always been heavily guarded, how can it be mixed into bandits." Someone must have deliberately used the name of bandits to attack His Highness's prestige, in this case, it is better for us to do what we want, and no one wants to be left alone!"

"Yes, you can't just let me make a fool of myself, this kind ......of good thing, how can I miss a few of my brothers! Duan Weizhi smiled and called a few henchmen to assign tasks.

The thieves are no longer limited to stealing, and they have begun to smash shops and set fire to shops, and some identity documents will be left at the scene, pointing directly at many dignitaries and nobles, but all parties are restrained and do not cause deaths.

Tang Lang, who was hiding in the utility room, snickered at this: "This dark flame is really some ruthless and unrighteous people, the chaos has begun, but I still have to add a fire!"

Taking advantage of the night, Tang Lang turned into a ghost, sneaked into many mansions, and put poison pills in the well water and back kitchen, and the source of this poison pill was the corpse Gu taken out of the body of the Tianqing soldiers before.

The next day, the Dark Flame Emperor was completely chaotic, and those high-ranking officials who were poisoned, the servants or family members who did not cultivate were directly killed, and those who had cultivation were also dying, and even began to attack indiscriminately, with heavy casualties.

The Dark Flame Emperor was furious, summoned all the ministers in the imperial capital, reprimanded him fiercely, forcibly suppressed all opposing voices, announced that the whole city was under strict control, and the troublemakers must be arrested and brought to justice, and then summoned the four princes separately, saying that no matter who they were, they would have conspiracy and tricks, and as long as they were investigated and punished, they would all be deposed.

Originally, I thought that the imperial capital would enter a more serious chaos, but unexpectedly, under the powerful means of Emperor Duan Hongyun, in addition to more stringent inspections, the order of the imperial capital gradually returned to stability.

"If you continue to make a small fuss, I'm afraid it won't help, just do a big deal!" Tang Lang didn't dare to delay any longer, he had been away from Tianqing for nearly ten days, and he didn't know the result of the battle with the Hengye Army on the Imperial City, so he simply made a heart and poked out a big hole.

"Duan Hongyun prefers the second prince, but the eldest prince has the support of more ministers and magnates in the court, which is also the main reason why Duan Hongyun has not established the prince for a long time!"

"In that case, I'll just kill a prince and see how that old man Hongyun will react! But how do I arrange it so that everyone can suspect that the other princes are behind it? It's a bit nerve-wracking!" Tang Lang racked his brains and didn't think of a countermeasure.
